On January 6, 2005, Alcan completed the spin-off of Novelis to its shareholders. Novelis consists of substantially all of the aluminum rolled products businesses held by Alcan prior to its 2003 acquisition of Pechiney, together with some of Alcan's alumina and primary metal-related businesses in Brazil, which are fully integrated with the rolled products operations there, as well as four former Pechiney rolling facilities in Europe. However, the financial information presented for 2004 and previous years includes Novelis.
