Annual reporting 2011: Short-term challenges - long-term opportunities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
"While financially speaking, aluminium has been challenging over the past
decade, it may not be because of a lack of confidence, but paradoxically because
of an over-confidence in aluminium. An exaggerated optimism has led to over-
investment and surplus capacity, weighing down prices and profitability,
amplified by weaker demand due to the financial and economic unrest that started
in 2008," President and CEO Svein Richard Brandtzæg writes in his letter to
shareholders.
"We are focusing our efforts on what we ourselves can do to improve, further
reinforcing our repositioning measures and performance improvement programs,
firmly controlling costs and margins. Despite the current economic turbulence, I
have never been more certain that we are future proof," Brandtzæg says.
The report meeting the Norwegian statutory requirements for annual reporting is
"Financial Statements and Board of Directors' Report - 2011." This report is
available in Norwegian and English.
