North America segment income increased to $74 million in Q2, from $72 million in Q2 2018. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased to $76 million in the second quarter of 2019, mostly driven by improved rolling margins combined with favourable metal spreads and scrap availability.

Europe segment income dropped to $33 million in the second quarter of 2019. Segment Adjusted EBITDA stood at $32 million in the second quarter of 2019, from $34 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased to $9 million. “The primary performance drivers for segment income and segment Adjusted EBITDA were an improved mix of products sold, resulting from a 37 percent increase in aerospace shipments, that increased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $2 million and the net impact of currency changes that increased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $1 million,” the company said.
