Good morning and welcome to Hydro's third quarter 2024 presentation and Q&A. So we will start off with the presentation from our president and CEO, Ivan Kalevic, before our CFO, Trond Olav Kristoffersen, will take us through the financial results. After that, we will have a Q&A session. If you want to ask questions after the presentation, you can write your questions in the chat that you see to the right on your screen. After presentation, I will read your questions out directly to Eivind and Trond Olav. But before that, presentation, and then I leave the word over to you, Eivind.

Thank you, Martina, and good morning and welcome from me as well. As always, I will begin with what is our single most important responsibility, the safety and well-being of our people. At Q3 last year, we shared the tragic news that we had suffered not one, but two fatalities during the run-up to the presentation. Likewise, in the second quarter this year, we reported yet another fatality, this time at Alpos. The common denominator between these three fatalities is that they all happen at plants which consistently and over time have been top performers in terms of low incident rates. Statistics are statistics. They give us a picture of the overall performance, but they absolutely do not offer a guarantee that incidents won't happen in the future. So safety requires our constant attention every day and every hour by every employee. Consistent improvement and low incident rates on all key indicators is good to report on. But my message to our organization is clear. Even if you have had zero incidents in the past year, there is always room for improvements. You may just not have that specific risk on your radar. Having a low incident rate is good because it frees up time to identify these risks and constantly improve the way we work. For the third quarter, we report an EBITDA of 7.4 billion with a free cash flow generation of 1.7 billion. The upward trend for our key revenue drivers continued into the third quarter, supporting the solid results we now see from the upstream activities. Conversely, pressure on downstream activities continued also this quarter. But these are now being countered with mitigating measures, both in recycling and in extrusions. Extrusions are pushing forward on their improvement efforts, aiming to enhance their robustness as they continue to face weaker core markets. In energy, we are pushing forward with the execution on renewable ambitions. With the Ilboten pumped storage project passing the investment decision this quarter. Following a more challenging market for battery materials, as well as an assessment of the strategic fit for Hydro, we have reduced our ownership in Vianoda. And we will provide no further capital to the company going forward. On the commercial side, we reached a milestone in our strategic partnership with Mercedes, signing a collaboration agreement on sustainable development in the state of Pará in Brazil. And I'll come back to this later. If you then look to the revenue drivers, which continue to be volatile during Q3, the three-month aluminum price on the LME increased throughout the third quarter. and is currently trading at levels above $2,600 per metric ton. This boost is much driven by the recently announced Chinese monetary policy measures aimed at stimulating economic activity and enhancing consumer sentiment. While strong demand growth from China is pushing prices upwards, it's been and has been a main catalyst for improvement. We continue to see demand in North America and Europe remaining more sluggish. Illumina prices have been the most significant driver with spot POCs during Q3, averaging some $507 per ton. This is a 17% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2024, and is up 51% as compared to the same quarter last year. And the current POCs is trading at some $685 per ton. This development is in large part driven by a combination of alumina refinery disruptions as well as bauxite supply challenges. Now, according to CIU, we are looking at the net deficit in alumina of some 0.6 million tonnes in 2024. This, combined with the rising primary aluminium production, is pushing prices upwards and gives us a good speed into the fourth quarter of this year. While we see markets are driven by variables typically outside our control, our main focus is to push forward on the things that we control ourselves. As such, continuous improvement and especially the improvement programs and commercial ambitions are the most important tools we have to mitigate weak markets and maximize the value creation potential in the company. And I'm really happy to report that we are ahead of the schedule on the 2024 improvement targets, leaving us well positioned towards the 2030 target of NOK 14 billion. Likewise, we are progressing above target on our commercial ambitions, leveraging on the greener products that we produce and sell in the market, with HydroSacal now being sold out despite the fact that we see an overall weaker market. So to keep focus on improving operational and commercial excellence is key for the robustness and our ability to continue positioning Hydro for the long term value creation in the opportunities that we see in the marketplace. And this quarter, we have seen really good results from the procurement improvements in aluminium metal, as well as the activities we do in extrusions. Finally, the Olenorto fuel switch is coming close to full conversion, yielding substantial savings in costs as well as carbon emissions. We now have six boilers and four calciners converted with the remaining three calciners on track for the completion by the end of the year. When full conversion has been done, we are looking at cost savings in the range of 160 to 190 million dollars per year. And in addition to that, we will also reduce CO2 emissions by some 700,000 tons. And for us, this is an excellent example of how sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. And creating value on the back of the green transition is what the strategy towards 2030 is really all about. So if we look beyond the current market downturn, the long-term trend is clear. Demand for greener materials and greener energy is expected to be in high demand going forward. And Hydro is already a leading player in this market when it comes to sustainability. And this strategic direction is all about making the gap between Hydro and our competitors even larger as the race for greener position continues towards the end of the decade. To position a company for the long-term value creation opportunities, we are stepping up growth investments in recycling and extrusions to capture the market opportunities emerging from the green transition. We are executing on the ambitions within renewable power generation, and we are executing on the decarbonization and technology roadmap while stepping up the efforts to contribute to a nature positive and just transition. And finally, we are leveraging to some of these efforts to shape the market for greener aluminum in partnerships with strategic customers. The slowdown we are experiencing, particularly in the building and construction and in automotive, continues to put upward pressure on scrap prices. And this is really due to the lower scrap generation in a low economic activity environment. Reduced demand on the one hand, combined with higher scrap prices on the other hand, puts heavy pressure on recycling margins overall. But in the longer term, we are confident that the fundamentals and business case for growth and recycling remain strong. In our view, the growing pool we see from customers, accompanied by a push from regulators, creates a landscape of opportunity for creating value in the recycling space in the longer term. Likewise, we see increasing interest in the role of recycling to counter import dependency in several regions. Building a remelting facility in and by itself is not a unique capability. So for us in Hydro, the key to creating value lies in our ability to source and sort complex scrap and utilizing it across multiple product outlets. This is where we have the capabilities that are currently unmatched in the industry. And this is where we can influence margins the most. Hence, we are continuing to invest in and expanding our capacity to sort complicated aluminum scrap. This quarter, we started commercial operations in the U.S. through our joint venture with Padnos in Michigan. Likewise, we have two high-source facilities under installation in Poland at the Nowa Sol plant. And excellence in procurement and sorting really supports our margins, both in the current type market, but also supports long-term profitability and robustness in Hydro's recycling business. As with recycling, Extrusion's demand is heavily impacted by the headwinds we see in particular in Europe and North America. Hydro Extrusion is actively navigating a challenging market, addressing weak demand across the business area. leveraging the production flexibility and pushing cost cutting programs is supporting margins in the short term but at the same time we are continuing to push forward investments for long-term robustness as well as value creation throughout the network an example of this is the recently opened automated press which is replacing two older presses at the plant in kuzona This press will increase cost efficiency without necessarily pursuing market share growth, reducing the money need to a quarter compared with the two presses it replaces. So we do continue to pursue the NOC 8 billion EBITDA targets, but it will require support from the market in the range of 2 to 3 billion, including volume growth about 20% from what we see today and remit margins returning to historical averages. Access to affordable renewable power is at the core of pursuing our ambition of pioneering the green transition of the aluminum industry. Hence, and according to what we presented at Capital Markets Day last year, we are pursuing investments aiming to strengthen our captive supply of renewable power. And this quarter, we have made an investment decision for the Ilvatn pumped storage plant in Lysta here in Norway. we aim to generate some 84 gigawatt hours renewable power annually while at the same time we will improve the flexibility in our production for portfolio so in line with our strategic ambition of supporting decarbonization efforts with renewable energy while continuing to strengthen value creation from our hydropower assets through profitable upgrades and expansions Construction here we expect to commence in 2025, with the plant being fully operational as we transition from 2028 into 2029. Capital allocation and priority supporting our strategic agenda is something that we constantly assess and address as we execute on the 2030 strategy. Following a more challenging market for battery materials, as well as an assessment of the strategic fit for Hydro, we have reduced the ownership in Via Loda to 19.9%, down from 30%. The agreement with the private equity firm Alto also includes a mutual put call option for the remaining 19.9% of shares to be exercised no later than February 28 in 2025. While Vianode is on a growth journey to supply the battery industry with much needed low carbon graphite, Hydro will provide no further capital to Vianode. Hydro has a very clear strategic ambition towards 2030, and we will continue to allocate capital towards the projects supporting this agenda. We will revert to all of you at Capital Markets Day with an update on the strategy and our priorities towards 2030. For the quarter, we are then taking an impairment in total of approximately 1 billion related to Hydro's investments in Vianoda. Around 600 million impacting the reported EBITDA and roughly 400 million impacting finance expense relating to shareholder loan in Vianoda. On a more positive note, we reached a new milestone in our strategic partnership with Mercedes this month. On September 23rd, Hydro and Mercedes-Benz joined forces to collaborate on the long-term program to promote positive impacts for people and nature in the state of Pará in Brazil. Building on the existing strategic partnership with Mercedes, we are extending our collaboration beyond the pursuit of low carbon materials to also include a broader approach to sustainability in our common value chain. So together with leading Brazilian NGOs, we aim to protect human rights, create income opportunities in local communities, restore nature, and develop low carbon value chains in the regions surrounding Hydro's bauxite pipeline in Pala. In addition to deepening our collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, this is also an immense acknowledgement of the position of Hydro through the efforts of our B&A organization, that they have attained through delivering results from sustainability and social initiatives over time. This extension of the partnership with Mercedes-Benz is really a strong example of how leading customers are increasingly valuing low carbon, but also sustainable aluminium solutions. Supporting the notion and ambition we have of greener earnings uplift potential towards 2030 in the range of 2 billion. And with that, let me give the word to Trond Olav for a run through of this quarter financials.

Thank you, Eivind, and good morning from me as well. So starting with the aluminum market, the aluminum market has seen significant developments in recent months marked by increasing supply constraints and rising prices. The combination of alumina refinery disruptions and bauxite supply challenges has driven market tightness, and the outlook remains sensitive to further production issues. In the third quarter of 2024, the global alumina market experienced continued tightness, with prices approaching historical high levels, and prices continued to increase into October. This was largely due to additional supply disruptions with further pressure on alumina availability. According to CRU, the global aluminum market is expected to face a net deficit of 0.6 million tons in 2024. Several events in the quarter have impacted an already tight market. An hurricane barrel caused extensive damage to the port facilities of a refinery in Jamaica, reducing shipments during the quarter. More recently, uncertainty related to refinery production in India, along with the suspension of bauxite exports from the mine in Guinea, has compounded the supply challenges. These disruptions have pushed aluminum prices close to all time high. China continues to face restrictions on domestic bauxite mining. And despite increasing production rates, strong demand has kept the market under supply. In addition, smelter inventories in China remain below average, and Chinese alumina prices have recently reached record high in local currency. And despite these challenges, China continued to be a net exporter of alumina. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the alumina market is expected to remain tight both in China and globally, and the market will remain highly sensitive to any further production disruptions. And to restore balance, it will be crucial to resolve recent issues and that scheduled project ramp ups in Indonesia and India proceed as planned. In China, overcoming the ongoing challenge with bauxite availability will be key. And alumina prices are currently well supported and could rise further if production continues to be impacted by these disruptions. And the market stability will largely depend on how quickly supply side challenges are addressed in the coming months. Then moving on to the aluminium market. In Q3-24, the economic outlook continued to improve, reducing the risk of recessions, and we saw the first interest rate cuts by the Fed amid easing inflation. Global primary aluminium demand increased by 2% year on year in the third quarter, primarily driven by robust 3% rise in demand from China. In contrast, the European and North American aluminum markets face declines of 2% and 1%, respectively, due to challenging economic conditions. To stimulate growth in sectors such as building and construction and other industrial activities, further interest rate cuts may be necessary. The robust demand in China is primarily fueled by the renewable energy sector and the electrical vehicle market. more than offsetting a weaker demand from the Chinese building and construction sector. Projections indicate that overall primary aluminium consumption in the country will continue to grow steadily. The lower right figure on this slide illustrates the aluminium intensity across various energy technologies, highlighting aluminium's role as a green transition metal in renewables and particularly solar energy. The figure on the top illustrates a continuous rise in primary aluminium production in China, and that this is now approaching the capacity cap set by the Chinese authorities. The Chinese government's robust commitment to decarbonizing electricity production and reducing emissions from the aluminium sector supports our belief that the capacity cap will remain in place. So to satisfy the increasing demand, imports and recycled aluminium will play a crucial role. Then moving downstream and in Western markets, extrusion demand continued to be challenged in both Europe and North America during Q3. European extrusion demand is estimated to have decreased by 7% in Q3 24 year over year and decreased 21% compared to the second quarter, partly driven by seasonality. Automotive extrusion demand remains weak due to low electrical vehicle sales and production in Europe, and especially in Germany. Demand in the building and construction and industrial segments have remained moderate after summer with no clear signs of improvement, although lower interest rates may support demand into 2025. Extrusion demand has been relatively better in Southern Europe, while demand in Germany continues to be weak. Looking into Q4-24, CRU estimates that the European demand for extrusions will decrease 6% compared to the same quarter last year. And overall, European extortion demand is estimated to decrease by 9% in 2024 compared to 2023. Moving to North America, extortion demand is estimated to have decreased by 4% in Q3-24 compared to the same quarter last year, and decreased 7% compared to Q2. The transport segment continues to be particularly weak, driven by lower trailer build rates. Automotive demand is facing headwinds due to weaker sales of electrical vehicles. Demand continues to be soft in the building and construction and industrial segments. However, underlying demand is expected to gradually improve in 2025, driven by lower interest rates. In North America, extrusion demand is estimated to decrease 2% in Q4-24 compared to the same quarter last year. And overall, North American extrusion demand is estimated to decrease by 4% in 2024 compared to 2023. Looking at our volumes, hydro extrusion sales volumes declined 8% in Q3-24 year over year. Transport volumes have been particularly negatively impacted by weaker shipments in the truck and trailer markets in the US. In Q3, we also saw that our automotive sales declined in both Europe and the US, driven by moderating production at some carmakers and weaker than expected sales of electrical vehicles. Growth for sales volumes in BNC and industrial has turned positive in Q3, although from a very moderate base, given the market headwinds over the last two years. Then moving to EBITDA and when looking at the results Q3 versus Q2, we see the positive effects of strong improvements in upstream pricing contributing with NOC 2.5 billion. We saw an upstream raw material cost increase of approximately NOC 340 million. The major drivers were the higher alumina costs partially offset by lower carbon costs in aluminum metal and positive fuel switch effect in BNA. The downstream segments experienced a negative development with lower extrusion sales, which is partly seasonally driven, contributing negatively by close to NOK 500 million and reduced margins in extrusion and recycling of approximately 200 million. Energy experienced a slightly positive development, where higher production was roughly offset by lower price and price area gain and higher costs. Furthermore, the quarter was impacted positively by lower fixed cost of NOK 300 million, largely driven by BNA and extrusions. Positive NOK 200 million currency effect impacted Q3, mainly driven by weakening of BRL versus USD. The final negative effect of NOK 440 million is mainly related to order and eliminations. The increase in eliminations this quarter itself amounted to approximately NOK 385 million on the strong improvement in B&A margins. These strong margins are eliminated on the hydro level until the internally sold alumina has been converted to aluminium in aluminium metal and sold to external customers when the positive margins are finally relaxed. CO2 compensation for Q3 was approximately NOK 800 million, which was at the same level as in Q2. And this concludes the adjusted EBITDA development from NOK 5.8 billion in Q2 to NOK 7.4 billion in Q3. If we then move to the key financials for the quarter, comparing year over year, revenue increased by approximately 23% to NOK 50 billion for Q3. Compared with Q2, revenue decreased by approximately 2%. For Q3, there was around NOC 1.4 billion effects adjusted out of EBITDA, which includes mainly unrealized derivative effects on LME contracts of NOC 907 million and impairment charges of NOC 581 million from BioNode, partly offset by net foreign exchange gains of around NOC 140 million, as well as other effects resulting in an adjusted EBITDA of NOC 7.4 billion. Moving on, we recorded depreciation expense around NOK 2.5 billion in Q3, resulting in adjusted EBIT of NOK 5 billion. Net financial expenses for Q3 total NOK 1.9 billion, driven largely by an unrealized currency loss of approximately NOK 1.1 billion due to the weakening of NOK against the euro. Additionally, financial expenses included NOK 1.2 billion related to debt servicing and the loan impairment to Vianote. These costs were partly offset by NOK 437 million in interest and other financial income. We have an income tax expense amounting to NOK 217 million for Q3 2024. The quarter was mainly impacted by a power surtax and positive results in Brazil in the quarter, offset by losses earlier in the year. Overall, this provides a positive net income of NOK 1.4 billion, up from the negative NOK 625 million in the same quarter last year, and flat on the NOK 1.4 billion in Q2. Adjusted net income was NOK 3.5 billion, and consequently adjusted EPS was 1.49 NOK per share. Let's then give an overview per business area, starting with the P&A. Adjusted EBITDA for bauxite and alumina increased from NOK 93 million in Q3 23 to NOK 3.4 billion in Q3 24. This was mainly driven by higher alumina price, lower raw material costs, partly offset by increased alumina sourcing costs and decreased sales volumes. Compared to Q2 24, the adjusted EBITDA increased from NOK 1.6 billion, mainly driven by higher realized alumina price. Results were further lifted by lower raw material costs, mainly driven by full switch implementation. Further fixed cost was lower by approximately NOK 200 million. For Q4, Alunortes output volume is expected around nameplate capacity. In addition, a higher realized alumina price should continue to impact our results positively. We expect relatively flat raw material costs, where the positive contribution from fuel switch, which is contributing to ramp up during Q4, will be offset by increase in other raw materials. Fixed and other costs are expected to increase by NOK 400-500 million, driven by postponed spending from Q3, as well as seasonally higher maintenance costs related to Pergominas. Moving on to aluminium metal. Q3 adjusted EBITDA increased from NOK 1.3 billion in Q3 2023 to NOK 3.2 billion this quarter. The increase is mainly driven by higher all-in metal prices and reduced carbon costs, partly offset by higher alumina costs and higher fixed costs, largely driven by inflation. Compared to Q2-24, adjusted EBITDA for aluminium metal increased from NOK 2.5 billion to NOK 3.2 billion thanks to higher all-in metal prices, reduced carbon costs and seasonally lower fixed costs, partly offset by higher alumina cost. The raw material cost increase we guided in Q2 ended lower than expected, roughly at NOK 250 million, driven by higher alumina cost offset by stronger than expected carbon cost release. We saw positive FX effects of around 170 million, driven by weakening NOK against Euro, impacting cost positively. Aluminium metal also benefited from a positive impact on alumina costs of approximately NOK 250 million due to our strategic hedging program. The hedge price of around US dollar 400 per ton alumina covers the volume of aluminum covered under the hedging strategy. Fixed costs were seasonally lower by about NOK 100 million, which is expected to be reversed in the next quarter. And this brings me over to the guiding for the next quarter. LME has increased since Q2 and are expected to continue to impact positively the revenue side in aluminum metal. Premiums have stabilized and are expected to remain at similar levels as Q3. For Q4, aluminum metal has booked 71% of primary production at 2,445 USD per ton, including the effect of our strategic hedging program. Furthermore, we have booked 42% of premiums affecting Q4 booked at 507 USD per tonne. And we expect realized premiums in the range of 380 to 430 USD per tonne. On the negative side, we expect further increase in raw material costs driven by Illumina of between NOC 850 to 950 million. However, as for Q3, a portion of this increase is expected to be offset by our strategic alumina hedge with a quarter over quarter hedge effect estimated at around NOK 300 million. Carbon costs are expected to remain stable. However, seasonally lower fixed costs in Q3 are projected to return to normal levels in Q4, resulting in a negative quarter over quarter impact on NOK 100 million. We also expect the sales volume to remain stable. Adjusted EBITDA for metal markets decreased in Q3 from NOK 568 million in Q3 last year to NOK 277 million, mainly due to lower results from recyclers and negative currency effects, partly offset by positive results from sourcing and trading activities. Lower results from recyclers were due to reduced margins in the weak market, combined with tight scrap availability. Excluding the currency and inventory valuation effects, the result for Q3 was NOK 375 million, down from NOK 566 million in Q3-23. Compared to Q2-24, adjusted EBITDA for metal markets decreased from NOK 309 million, mainly due to lower results from recyclers, partly offset by higher results from sourcing and trading activities. Resulting results were heavily affected by further increase in scrap prices. In addition to the drivers above, the recycling results were negatively affected by seasonally lower sales volumes. The outlook for Q4 continues to be challenging as we expect recycling margin continue to be squeezed on the lowest scrap availability, keeping margins low. At the moment, the recycling margins are at an all-time low level, and we expect those to return to normalized levels over time. However, as mentioned earlier, interest rate cuts may be necessary to foster positive growth in sectors like building and construction, which is an important sector both for scrap supply and aluminium demand. For our commercial area in Q3, we expect lower contribution from sourcing and trading activity. Again, as always, reminding of the inherent volatility of the trading and currency effects. Following the latest developments, we have decided to further adjust our guiding for 2024 full year adjusted EBITDA for commercial excluding currency and inventory valuation effects to a range of NOK 700 million to NOK 900 million. Then moving to hydro-extrusions. And in extrusions, the adjusted EPTA decreased year over year from NOC 1.3 billion to NOC 879 million, driven by lower sales volumes, lower recycling margins, partly offset by higher sales margins. General inflation pressure on the fixed and variable cost was partly offset by cost measures. As mentioned earlier, we saw 8% lower sales volumes, which were partly compensated by higher margins. Lower e-mail margins negatively impacted the results with around NOK 330 million as recyclers continue to be pressured with low billet premiums compared to the elevated scrap prices. Compared to Q2 2024, adjusted EBITDA for extrusions decreased from NOK 1.3 billion due to seasonally lower sales volumes. Looking into Q4, we should look towards the same quarter last year to capture the seasonal developments in extrusions. Compared with last year, due to continued soft extrusion markets in both Europe and North America, we expect lower sales volumes. As mentioned earlier, external sources estimate a decline on the volume year over year of 2% for North America and 6% for Europe. We also expect the continued strong extrusion margins, but the remelt margins continue to be under pressure. Combined with the higher cost, we expect the negatives to be more than offset the positives in Q4 when comparing year over year. The final business area is energy, where the adjusted EBITDA for Q3 decreased to NOK 626 million compared to NOK 762 million Q3 23. The main drivers behind the low results were lower prices and lower gain on price area differences. These were partly offset by a positive impact from the expiry of an internally fixed price purchase contract from aluminum metal at the significant loss in the same period last year. Compared to the first quarter, adjusted EBITDA remained relatively flat. Higher production was partly offset by lower prices and lower price area gains. In the second quarter, external power sourcing volumes continued to be affected by disruptive volume deliveries from a long-term power purchase in Markbygden, Sweden. The non-delivered volumes were 0.3 TWh in Q3 2024 and 2.5 TWh accumulated since the beginning of the disruptions. We continue to seek compensation for the non-delivered volumes. Looking into Q4, as always, we should be aware of the inherent price and volume uncertainty in energy. For next quarter, production volumes are expected to be on a similar level, while power prices are expected to increase with seasonality into the winter. Furthermore, we expect the price area differences result to be higher than in Q3. In Q3, we had approximately 30 million in price area results. Let's then move to the final financial slide in this quarter. Net debt decreased by NOK 1.5 billion since Q2. Based on the starting point of NOK 16.2 billion in net debt from Q2, the positive contribution for Q3 was NOK 7.4 billion in adjusted EBITDA. During Q3, we saw an increase in net operating capital of NOK 1 billion, mainly driven by the increased inventory in the upstream business and the reduction in accounts payable in the downstream business. Under other operating cash flow, we had a negative NOK 1.4 billion, mainly driven by mark-to-market reversals, tax payments, net interests, and other accruals. In the investment side, we have net cash effect investments of NOK 3.3 billion. As a result, we had a positive free cash flow of NOK 1.7 billion in Q3. Furthermore, we have also started a new NOK 2 billion buyback program approved at the AGM in May, of which NOK 140 million was executed in Q3. Finally, we also had negative effects in order of NOK 100 million. When moving on to adjusted net debt, we start by adjusting for the following items. Hedging collateral and other has increased since Q2 24 with NOK 200 million. Mainly explained by an increase in collateral related to short term operational hedging positions of NOK 400 million. Partly offset by NOK 200 million reduction of cash on escrow as mentioned. Since Q2 24, net pension liabilities have increased by NOK 200 million. And finally, we have a reduction in other liabilities of NOK 100 million since Q2 24. And with these adjustments, we end up with an adjusted net debt position of NOK 25 billion at the end of Q3. And with this, I end the financial update and give the word back to Eivind.
