Hörður Arnarson, CEO:

“We can be quite content with the Company’s performance in the first nine
months of the year. Aluminium prices continued to decrease and are now 9% lower
than in the same period last year and historically very low, which had a
negative effect on revenues as a part of our electricity sales contracts are
connected to the development of aluminium prices. 

The Company is currently working on construction of two power plants, at
Theistareykir and Burfell, while at the same time net debt continues to
decrease which reflects powerful cash generation. It is pleasant to see that
the decrease of net debt and better credit terms are leading to a considerable
decrease in financial expenses. 

The company is currently re-negotiating power purchase agreements with sales
companies in the wholesale market. The average price to the wholesale market
has been almost unchanged for the last years and that trend is not likely to
change next year.”
