Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA)
On Tuesday, Alcoa Inc. (AA), declared that it plans to curtail 443,000 metric tons per year (mtpy) of alumina refining capacity at Suralco in Suriname. In addition, the Corporation and the Government of Suriname have agreed to pursue a transaction for a Government-owned entity to attain the Suralco operations.
The curtailment and potential transaction are in line with Alcoa’s recent declaration to review upstream capacity for possible curtailment or divestiture and the Corporation’s planned aim to create a globally competitive commodity business. The curtailment, which represents one digester, is predictable to be complete by April 30, 2015.
In October 2014, the Government and Alcoa signed a Memorandum of Understanding reflecting both parties’ intent to find a solution for the future of Suralco, which operates in a challenging global environment, with limited bauxite reserves and lacks a long-term energy solution. The resulting discussions between the parties have led to the Government’s decision to sustain the bauxite industry in Suriname.
Both parties now intend to pursue a transaction where a Government-owned entity would attain Suralco, counting the mining, refining and Afobaka hydroelectric operations. Following the appropriate due diligence, the parties are targeting to reach contract on the projected transaction by July 1, 2015.
The Corporation will work closely with unions and employees to reduce the influence of the curtailment on affected employees by offering fair severance packages. The Paranam refinery and related mining operations employ about 700 people, in addition to contracted personnel.
Alcoa’s review of its refinery operations is consistent with the Corporation’s aim of lowering its position on the world alumina cost curve to the 21st percentile and the aluminum production cost curve to the 38th percentile, by 2016.
Alcoa Inc. produces and manages primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina worldwide. The company operates through four segments: Alumina, Primary Metals, Global Rolled Products, and Engineered Products and Solutions.
