Primary aluminium demand growth in 2014 vs 2013

Source: CRU, UC RUSAL research

2013s global aluminum demand growth rate was at 6%. Expected another 6% growth in 2014. Largest contributors are still expected to be China, ASEAN countries and the United States

The NA consumption forecast at 3% growth on strong auto demand and stable property markets development

European consumption forecast in 2014 revised upwards to 3% from 2% mainly due to robust growth forecast in Turkey and recovering demand in Germany and GB

Expected strong growth in India, Middle East and ex-China Asia at 3-4% on strong local demand and continued growth in China as well in developed counties

Increased car production, infrastructure investments and home appliance purchases in rural areas to drive further consumption growth in China. Expected 10% aluminiumdemand growth in 2014 despite GDP growth slowdown

Further strong growth in aluminum downstream industry in ME to increase local primary metal demand Further strong growth in aluminum downstream industry in ME to increase local primary metal demand

Downstream growth will be priority for Middle East inupcoming years in utilization of excess local primary metalsupply and reduction in aluminium products import

Currently according to While Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC) nations now account for about 10% of the worldsprimary aluminium production but they only produce around3% of its downstream products, and have almost noindustry in the end-use sectors

As expected ME downstream production will almost doubleby 2015 compared to 2012 production level from 1,2 mln.tto 2,3 mln.t. With most dynamics in FRP production growth.

This may potentially significantly increase local industrydemand in primary metal and thus reduce excessive supplyto open market and further improve aluminum balance

Ex-China aluminum production by end of 2013 dropped by 0,7 mtpafrom beginning of 2011 well below top levels of 2008 and 2011

Producers react fast to aluminum price drops by cutting production but continue to raise production including inefficient capacity when the price recovers. This doesnt allow the price to be sustainable

Since 2012, all major producers have executed production cuts of around 3 mtpa (around 5% of global capacity). 33% of the global (Ex-China) production is estimated to be loss-making at the current prices. As expected 1,5 mtpa more Ex.China capacity to be cut in 2014

Ex-China capacity utilization rate dropped below 75% level to crises low level of 2009 on production cuts and more unused loss-making capacity fully replicating past crises situation

Production ex-China declined on closure of unprofitable capacities

Aluminum industry ex-China made sufficient capacity curtailments for sustainable upward trend in price

Aluminum Ex.China total stocks

Aluminum visible stocks will continue declining following off-warrant stocks decline on physical market deficit Aluminum visible stocks will continue declining following off-warrant stocks decline on physical market deficit

LME registered stocks

Global aluminum stocks outside China decline steadily since beginning of 2012 by more than 1,1 mtpa YTD mainly due to decline in off-warrant stocks, producers and consumers stocks supporting our view on tight physical market supply. High physical market premiums also support this argument

High physical market demand , as expected, will make more metal outflow from LME locations mainly to off-warrartstocks. Good indication of this is soaring canceled warrant stocks reaching 47% of total LME registered stocks

Whilst total stocks are relatively unchanged, the amount on warrant has significantly reduced. Suggests that deliveriesin have been reduced whilst warrants have been cancelled for delivery out.

We expect LME visible stocks continue steady decline in main LME locations Vlissingen & Detroit during 2014 and will fall below 3,74 million by end of 2014 tonnes taking into consideration increasing physical market tightness.

As estimated total stocks are to decline by 2,7 mln.tonnes by 2015

Global aluminum stocks expected steady decline in 2014 and beyond

Incremental Supply structure in 2014, ex-China

Middle East projects come in form of VAP or as part of liquid metal supply chain to integrated/cooperated downstream industry

Development of the local downstream industry will allocate previously exported metal for domestic market (Oman: SOHAR / OARC; Mozambique: MOZAL / MIDAL; Saudi Arabia: Maaden / Maaden rolling project; Australia: TOMAGO / MIDAL, Canada / SURAL)

Expectation of announcement about further cuts production in Brazil due to increasing of domestic electricity prices to a record of over $800 per MW/h

Ex. China aluminum balance

Continuing aluminum capacity curtailments & consumption growth will significantly improve balance in 2013-15Continuing aluminum capacity curtailments & consumption growth will significantly improve balance in 2013-15

Deficit growth by region

Aluminum consumption (Ex. China) is expected to grow at 4% CAGR in 2013-15 with consumption predicted to increase by 2 mlntonnes during this period

More that 1,2 mln. tonnes of aluminum capacity (Ex. China) has been cut in 2013(according to official announcements) another 1-1,5 mln. tonnes as expected to be cut in 2014

This supports our view that the aluminum market (Ex.China) will be in deficit of 306K in 2013 to 1,2 mln.t. in 2014 and 1 mln.t. in 2015, supporting aluminum price growth

Most aluminum deficit growing regions are South East Asia, Europe and North America increasing further deficit in 2015 Russian Government is considering the opportunity of establishing up to a 1 million tonne state reserve facility in order to support

future consumption growth on domestic market

Production Consumption Balance (in kmt)

Aluminium premiums have bounced to record highs on strong demand and tight supply

Market premiums soared to record high on current physical market tightness. Market premiums remain well supported due to:

Supply and demand balance Market to remain very tight, with estimated 455Kt

global deficit Tradable commodity grade production to fall as

producers increase VAP output Tight primary/secondary spreads to continue to

underpin the demand for primary aluminium

Attractiveness of cash and carry deals

Main exposure of the financier is the mark to market value of the premium today vs end of holding period

Positions to be drip fed into the market over time, should metal financiers choose to reduce their exposure whilst preserving the premium value

Aluminium to continue to be drawn into low cost storage locations and financed for as long as the contango supports the trade

UC RUSAL believes that the broader industry context is greatly supportive of the premiums paid in the market today and for the foreseeable future

China continued capacity and production growth in 1H2014

In 2013 Chinese aluminium market was characterized by fallingSHFE price, increased pressure to operating capacities,commissioning of large number of new capacities and strongefforts by the Central government to control expansions andregulate Al industry

In spite of weak prices majority of new projects already built inChina were commissioning with 1.9 Mt put into operation inJan-Mar 2014

Increasing cost pressure led to 1,4 Mt of capacities leaving themarket, but net capacity increase still reached 771 Kt. Weexpect 2,5-3 Mt of new additional capacities are expected to becommissioned in China in 2014, putting more pressure toSHFE price

Up to 3 Mt of production are expected to be cut in 2014 due totight financial situation

Chinese aluminium capacity utilization rate

Al production in 2013 reached 25.1 mln.t with apparentconsumption of 25.48 mln.t, Chinese market faced a deficit of 339kt

Al capacity increased to 31.37 mln.t, operating rate in Al industryslump to 87%

Al production grew 10,9% while operating capacity showed11,9% growth, installed capacity 11,6%

Unlike ex.China capacity utilization rate at 74% in January of 2014,China keeps capacity utilization rate at 85% for the same period

Loss-making capacities in Mar 2014 - 15.2 Mt (57%)

In 2013 Chinese Al smelting Cost curve underwent serious changes it evolved to lower-cost position due to following factors:- high-cost capacity left the market- smelters engaged in captive PP construction thus reducing power

costs- slump in coal price helped smelters operating captive PPs to

decrease power generation costs- new capacities located in low-power price regions, entered the

market- Drop of SHFE price during Jan Mar 2014 has made all previous

efforts of smelters on costs cutting insufficient- ~ 15.2Mtpa (~57%) of capacities became unprofitable at the

average SHFE Cash price for Mar 2014 (RMB 13,112/t)

-27%

The SHFE aluminum cash price dropped by RMB 2555/t toRMB12,565/t in Jan 2013 Mar. 2014 but recovered a bit in April,showing 27% decrease from its peak in Jul 2011

Aluminum inventories in China started declining since May 2013and by the end of November 2013 it fell by 659Kt to 1.297 Mt,mostly triggered by increasing demand from downstream industriesand SRBs purchase. In April spot aluminium stockpiles declined forthe first time in over a year in China amid production cuts and thedemand growth.

The aluminum smelters in Central and Southern provinces areunder increasing pressure in 2014 due to falling aluminum pricewhile large amount of low-cost aluminum capacity go intoproduction in Xinjiang and other western regions

Daily average aluminum production vs capacity utilization rate

According to Aladdinys data, Chinas daily average aluminum production in March 2014 fell by 5.3%M-M to 75.3 kt Annualizedproduction decreased by 1524 kt to 27.5 Mt in March on the monthly basis and rose by 2501 kt from March 2013

Capacity utilization fell to 83.8% in March from 88.8% in February 2014 and versus 90.5% in March 2013

The strong rise in apparent consumption and production decrease in March led to 26 kt supply deficit after big surplus in Jan-Feb2014

Net operating capacity rise was only 771kt as of March 2014 due to 1,4 mln tonnes of capacity cuts. We expect this trend to becontinued with possibility of negative rise in 2H14

Power tariffs raise by 10% for AL smelters with AC power consumption over 13,700kw*h/t and for capacities which fail to meet standards before the end of 2015 - multi-step electricity pricing Local governments are forbidden to introduce preferential electricity price policies, cheap land, tax breaks . Measures should be taken torelocate aluminum smelters to regions with abundant hydro powerAluminum smelters are encouraged to sign long-term power supply contracts with power plants

Chinese enterprises are encouraged to build aluminum smelters overseas where energy is rich

Source: MIIT State Councils guidelines as of October 16, UC RUSAL research

Policy overview On Oct-15, 2013 the State Council issued its guiding opinions ordering a halt in the construction of new capacity in sectors

burdened by excess production facilities in the steel, flat glass, cement, electrolytic aluminum and shipbuilding industries, inparticular

Projects where construction hadnt yet started should be canceled; Projects under construction to be halted unless they receive central government approval Barriers to entry and environmental standards will be two key indicators for phasing out old or adding new capacity Banks have been ordered to write off some of the nonperforming loans on their books and prohibited to grant loans for new

projects in industries with overcapacity

On Nov-5, 2013 Chinas central ministries sent a stern message in support of the key State Council document implementation According to Hu Zucai, deputy director of the NDRC, local governments will be held accountable regarding overcapacity. Those who continue to violate these guidelines will be heavily punished

Chinese aluminum growth will slow down, capacities will move to the North-western parts of the country, only modern and integrated players will survive. China is not likely to have a surplus before 2015

Indonesian supply ban to hit 18 mln tonnes of Chinese alumina production with rising bauxite cost

Proven bauxite reserve in China amounts to 17.8 billion tonnes, the inferred bauxite resource - 16.3 billion tonnes, mostly in Shanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces.

Extractable reserves of 539 million tonnes (2012), sufficient for 6-7 years of current domestic bauxite consumption

Dominantly diaspore, with high alumina content but low Al/Si ratio expensive to process

Domestic bauxite production in 2013 is evaluated at about 73-74 million tonnes in comparison to 18 million tonnes in 2006.

China also is still one of the largest world bauxite importers and its bauxite self-sufficiency rate in 2012-2013 was about 61-63%. Indonesian bauxite import accounted for 70% of total

Chinas bauxite import rose to record 71.6 million tonnes in 2013 (+79% YoY). Such a growth was stipulated by bauxite stockpiling during the year before Indonesias export ban implementation in Jan 2014.

Developing Xinjiang as a smelting hub increases the overall distance of the bauxite-alumina-aluminium-market supply chain from 4,000 km to 11,000km, 2/3 of which is by rail transport

Coupled with higher transportation costs as aluminum industry relocation to the West

Despite cheaper power costs NW producers face higher transportation costs and imported bauxite cost

China to import more aluminum after 2015 lifting seaborne alumina prices

Installed alumina capacity in China, 2013 Chinese alumina self-sufficiency

China alumina balance, mln. mt

Alumina production in 2013 increased to 49 million tonnes (+14% YoY). Utilization rate 80%.

Installed alumina capacity at the end of 2013 reached 60.9 Mln t/y, running capacity 54 Mln t/y.

Most of alumina production is concentrated in Shandong (30%), Henan (23%) and Shanxi (22%) provinces.

Chinas alumina import fell to 3.8 million tonnes in 2013 from 5 Mt in 2012 but expected to grow to 5,5 Mt in 2014 and to 10 Mt by 2018. Significant aluminna import to China after 2015 will lift seaborne alumina prices

Chinese semis export influences ex.China semis market not primary aluminum supply/demand balance

Source: Macquarie research, CRU, China Customs, Press releases

China is a major net exporter of semis while a number of countries have already introduced protective antidumping measures(Kt)

Global aluminum semis consumption

12% of primary aluminium consumption in China accounts forsemis production, which is subject to further export For 2011-2013 period Chinese semis net export grew just by 4%. InJan -Feb 2014 net semis export from China was down by 4% YoY. Chinese semis export passes only 6% of global semisconsumption, As for the end of 2012 Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailandaccounted for the major part of Chinese alloys export At the same time throughout 2009-2012 a number of regions, suchas USA, EU countries and Australia introduced protectiveantidumping measures against Chinese aluminium semis China is importing up to 2,7 million tonnes of aluminum scrapannually, thus is a short of aluminum materials supply

As expected total aluminum market balance to be in significant deficit in 2014 and beyond

Secondary aluminum will not significantly influence the balance based on current tightness and more balanced market growing forward

EU, China and other Asia regions will remain the most deficit markets for raw aluminum (including primary ingots and scrap)
