    ALRO Group reports 2025 loss despite 14 percent rise in turnover

    Published on

    ALRO S.A. reported consolidated turnover of RON 3.9 billion in 2025, up 14% year-on-year, driven by higher sales volumes and stronger exports, which accounted for 82% of total sales. However, the group ended the year with a consolidated net loss of RON 47 million, compared with a net profit of RON 10.3 million in 2024, as lower state compensation for indirect energy costs and weaker profitability weighed on results.

    According to the company’s annual report published on the Bucharest Stock Exchange website, consolidated revenues from contracts with customers increased to RON 3.896 billion in 2025, from RON 3.408 billion a year earlier. Operating profit (EBIT) fell to RON 49 million, down from RON 225 million in 2024, while EBITDA declined to RON 219 million from RON 345 million.

    The company said the deterioration in profitability came despite stronger operational performance and an improved sales mix focused on value-added aluminium products. Management pointed to a nearly 24% reduction in state compensation related to indirect emissions costs embedded in electricity prices, as well as persistently high energy market prices that prevented the restart of the alumina subsidiary.

    ALRO also continued its investment programme during 2025, targeting process modernisation, energy efficiency and low-carbon aluminium production. The group highlighted expansion into overseas markets and higher demand from sectors such as automotive, aerospace and engineering.

    At the end of 2025, ALRO Group’s total assets stood at RON 3.22 billion, slightly below RON 3.25 billion reported a year earlier. Current assets increased to RON 1.84 billion, while non-current assets declined marginally to RON 1.37 billion.
