Table of contents Cautionary note

Certain statements included within this announcement contain forward-looking information, including, without limitation, those relating to (a) forecasts, projections and estimates, (b) statements of management’s plans, objectives and strategies for Hydro, such as planned expansions, investments or other projects, (c) targeted production volumes and costs, capacities or rates, start-up costs, cost reductions and profit objectives, (d) various expectations about future developments in Hydro’s markets, particularly prices, supply and demand and competition, (e) results of operations, (f) margins, (g) growth rates, (h) risk management, as well as (i) statements preceded by “expected”, “scheduled”, “targeted”, “planned”, “proposed”, “intended” or similar statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and forecasts that, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty. Various factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to: our continued ability to reposition and restructure our upstream and downstream aluminium business; changes in availability and cost of energy and raw materials; global supply and demand for aluminium and aluminium products; world economic growth, including rates of inflation and industrial production; changes in the relative value of currencies and the value of commodity contracts; trends in Hydro’s key markets and competition; and legislative, regulatory and political factors.

No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Hydro disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Aluminium is the metal of the future

• Formability• Extrusion, rolling, casting• Low melting point vs. steel

• Excellent conductivity• Thermal – electrical

• Alloying technology• Gives wide range of physical properties

• Lightweight• 1/3 density of steel

• Recyclability• 5% of original energy consumption• 75% of all aluminium produced still in use

• Corrosion resistant• Oxide layer

Properties leadto increasedmarket share

• Aluminium intensive urbanization and infrastructure• Climate challenge – aluminium as part of the solution• Recyclability more important with high energy prices

Global inventory days trending down

Source: CRU

• Inventory days reduction driven by increased consumption

• Q1 LME stocks increase believed to partly reflect unreported metal moved into reported warehouses

• High inventories well known in market• Different views on unreported inventories

• Estimated total reported and unreported inventories ~11 million tonnes• Represents ~3 months of consumption

• Financial deals locking up metal• Profitable on a 3-6 month horizon

• USD 300 per tonne cost improvement • USD 50 per tonne realized in 2010• Further USD 125 per tonne targeted in 2011

• Cash cost up ~USD 125 from 2010due to increased raw material costs• Energy• LME-linked alumina prices• Petroleum coke• Weaker USD

• Program assumptions• Higher energy and petroleum coke costs may

offset some improvements• Improvements may be influenced by fluct-

uations in raw material prices and currencies• Applies to ~1 000 000 tonnes annual capacity1) Realized aluminium price minus EBITDA margin per tonne primary

Paragominas – production process

• Production process• Strip mining allows for quick environmental

recovery• Bauxite found in 0.5-2.5 meter layers 4-18

meters below ground

• 244 km pipeline from Paragominas to Alunorte• Only bauxite slurry pipeline in the world• 15 million tonnes annual capacity• Low environmental impact

• High-quality bauxite• Gibbsite bauxite with 48-49% available

alumina and 4.5-5% of reactive silica• Absence of organics reduces investments

and cash cost at Alunorte

Alumina pricing shifting from LME-link toalumina market fundamentals

• Future pricing should reflect the fundamentals of the bauxite and alumina value chain

• Bauxite, a fight for cost efficient resources going forward

• Index pricing and shorter term contracts

Page 67: Investor presentation - April 2011

(67)

Hydro’s commercial strategy

• Move towards index pricing• Currently not offering medium/long-term LME

linked contracts

• Actively promote index pricing

• Focus on contracts with 1-4 year duration

• Focus on selling to end-users

• Hydro’s existing combined sales portfolio• Average alumina price ~13-14% of LME

• Similar percentage expected for 2011-2015

• Minor volumes available for sale before 2016• Majority of sales contracts expire in 2016-2018
