Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $236 million, a 16% increase compared to the $203 million reported for the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher shipments as a result of strategic capacity expansions in Asia and South America, favorable product mix, and cost benefits from using recycled metal inputs.
Third quarter fiscal 2015 revenues climbed 18% to $2.8 billion compared to $2.4 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Revenue growth was driven by a 5% increase in shipments of rolled aluminum products to 757 kilotonnes for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to 721 kilotonnes in the prior year period. All four operating regions reported an increase in shipments year-over-year. Higher metal prices also contributed to the increase in revenue.
