Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business, Product and Geographical Area Information and Concentration of Risk | 17. Business, Product and Geographical Ar ea Information and Concentration of Risk Our primary line of business is the production of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum mill products, such as plate and sheet, bare and coated coils, and extruded and drawn products, primarily used in our Aero/HS Products, Packaging, GE Products, Automotive Extrusions and Other products end markets. We operate production facilities in the United States and Canada. Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) who evaluates our business as a single operating segment and makes decisions on resource allocations based on Net income (loss). The CODM uses Net income (loss) to evaluate income generated from the segment in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. The following table provides the significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM (in millions of dollars):

1. Hedged cost of alloyed metal includes cost of aluminum at the Midwest transaction price and the cost of alloying elements used in the production process. This metric also includes metal price exposure on shipments that we hedged with realized losses upon settlement of $0.2 m illion, $21.4 million, and $17.0 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. 2.
