UC RUSAL’s revenues dropped by close to 21%, down to $2.17bn.

According to UC RUSAL’s Director-General Evgeny Nikitin, last year’s events had their full effect on the company’s performance in the first quarter of the year; among other things, this holds true for the OFAC sanctions that only got lifted on January 27, 2019. The OFAC’s policy resulted in changes in the company’s sales structure: the share of high value-added produce decreased to 29% (259,000,000 kg) in the first three months of 2019.
