CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1.General

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Century Aluminum Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the first six months of 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Throughout this Form 10-Q, and unless expressly stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, "Century Aluminum", "Century", "the Company", "we", "us", "our" and "ours" refer to Century Aluminum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of the Jamalco joint venture ("Jamalco"), an unincorporated joint venture between General Alumina Jamaica Limited ("GAJL"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Clarendon Alumina Production Limited ("CAP"). CAP's interest in the joint venture is reflected as noncontrolling interest on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. ("ASU") 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." ("ASU 2023-07"). Among other changes, the ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning with its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning with its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2023-09.

2.Acquisition of Jamalco

On May 2, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Jamaica Holdings, Inc. ("CAJH"), completed the acquisition of all the outstanding share capital of General Alumina Holdings Limited ("GAHL"), the indirect holder of a 55% interest in Jamalco, an unincorporated joint venture engaged in bauxite mining and alumina production in Jamaica. The remaining 45% interest in Jamalco is owned by CAP, which is owned by the Government of Jamaica. The results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The purchase price of the acquisition was $1.00, primarily due to the seller experiencing financial distress following curtailment of Jamalco's operations in the second half of 2021 due to a facility fire, with operations restarting in the second half of 2022.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations, resulting in the Company recognizing the assets and liabilities at fair value with the excess over fair value of consideration transferred to the seller presented as a bargain purchase gain of $245.9 million recognized within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the Jamalco purchase price allocation and recognized measurement period adjustments, which primarily resulted from third-party valuation adjustments to risk premiums, reducing the value of property, plant and equipment by $29.0 million. This reduction in value of property plant and equipment resulted in a corresponding reduction to the bargain purchase gain of $29.0 million decreasing the value of the previously recognized bargain purchase gain of $273.4 million as of

December 31, 2023 to $245.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company finalized its purchase accounting as of March 31, 2024.

The following table represents the allocation of the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition:


Purchase price allocation	Amount
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents	$	19.4
Restricted cash	8.3
Accounts receivable - net	7.7
Non-trade receivables	40.4
Inventories	103.9
Prepaid and other current assets	4.2
Property, plant and equipment - net	217.2
Other assets	26.1
Accounts payable, trade	(94.6)
Accrued and other current liabilities	(29.5)

Asset retirement obligation	(23.9)
Total identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed	242.7

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as if the acquisition of Jamalco had been completed on January 1, 2023. This unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the actual consolidated results of operations had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2023, nor is the information indicative of future results of operations of the combined companies.

Revenue	$	595.3		$	1,177.6
Earnings	6.7			(33.0)

3.Curtailment of Operations - Hawesville

In August 2022, we fully curtailed production at the Hawesville facility and expect to continue to maintain the plant with the intention of restarting operations when market conditions permit, including energy prices returning to more normalized levels and aluminum prices maintaining levels that can support the on-going costs and capital expenditures necessary to restart and operate the plant.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred curtailment charges of approximately $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. These charges were partially offset by income related to scrap and materials sales of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no scrap and materials sales as of the three months ended June 30, 2024. Comparatively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred curtailment charges of approximately $4.4 million and $11.4 million, including $3.6 million and $9.0 million related to demand capacity charges for power, respectively. These charges were partially offset by income related to scrap and materials sales of $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

4.Related Party Transactions

The significant related party transactions occurring during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are described below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we derived approximately 58% and 74% of our consolidated net sales from Glencore, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we derived approximately 61% and 74% of our consolidated net sales from Glencore, respectively.

Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our U.S. smelters at prices based on the LME plus the Midwest regional delivery premium plus any additional market-based product premiums. Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our Grundartangi, Iceland smelter at prices primarily based on the LME plus the European Duty Paid premium plus any additional market-based product premiums.

We have entered into agreements with Glencore pursuant to which we sell certain amounts of alumina at market-based prices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $50.3 million and $85.8 million, respectively, of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $65.8 million and $86.8 million, respectively, of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore.

Purchases from Glencore

We purchase a portion of our alumina and certain other raw material requirements from Glencore. Alumina purchases from Glencore during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, were priced based on published alumina and aluminum indices as well as fixed prices.

Financial Contracts with Glencore

We have certain financial contracts with Glencore. See Note 15. Derivatives regarding these forward financial sales contracts.

Vlissingen Facility Agreement

On December 9, 2022, Vlissingen entered into a Facility Agreement with Glencore International AG pursuant to which Vlissingen may borrow from time to time up to $90.0 million (the "Vlissingen Facility Agreement") in one or more loans at a fixed interest rate equal to 8.75% per annum and payable on December 2, 2024. See Note 11. Debt for additional information. Borrowings under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of Century and its subsidiaries.

Carbon Credit Repurchase Agreement

In September 2023, our wholly owned subsidiary Nordural Grundartangi ehf ("Grundartangi"), entered into a structured repurchase arrangement ("Agreement") with an affiliate of Glencore and sold 390,000 European Union Allowances ("Carbon Credits") at a price of €82.18 per Carbon Credit, for an aggregate amount of €32.1 million. The terms of the transaction permitted Grundartangi to repurchase the same number of Carbon Credits by December 21, 2023, at a price of €83.72 per Carbon Credit, for an aggregate amount of €32.7 million. In December 2023, the Agreement was amended ("Amended Agreement") to extend the repurchase window to March 25, 2024, and increased the repurchase price to €85.13 per Carbon Credit, for an aggregate amount of €33.2 million. In addition, Grundartangi entered into a second repurchase agreement ("Second Agreement") with Glencore to sell 40,000 Carbon Credits at a price of €69.30 per Carbon Credit and to repurchase the same number of Carbon Credits at a price of €70.71 per Carbon Credit by March 25, 2024 for an aggregate amount of €2.8 million.

In March 2024, the Amended Agreement was amended to extend the repurchase window from March 25, 2024 to August 30, 2024 and the repurchase price was revised to €87.01 per Carbon Credit, for an aggregate amount of €33.9 million. In addition, the Second Agreement was amended to extend the repurchase window from March 25, 2024 to August 30, 2024 and revised the repurchase price to €72.59 per Carbon Credit, for an aggregate amount of €2.9 million. Due to the repurchase element of these transactions, the Company retains substantially all of the remaining benefits of the assets and has accounted for the transaction as a financing arrangement in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606").

5. Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue by geographical region as follows:


Net Sales	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
United States	$	375.0	$	363.2	$	675.0	$	705.5
Iceland	185.8		212.3		375.3		422.4
Total	$	560.8	$	575.5	$	1,050.3	$	1,127.9

The table below shows the amount of net sales to external customers for each of the Company's product categories which accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in either period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.


Net Sales	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Total	$	560.8	$	575.5	$	1,050.3	$	1,127.9

We enter into contracts to sell mainly primary aluminum to our customers. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligations with our customers are satisfied. Our obligations under the contracts are satisfied when we transfer control of our primary aluminum to our customers which is generally upon shipment or delivery to customer directed locations. The amount of consideration we receive, thus the revenue we recognize, is a function of volume delivered, market price of primary

aluminum which is based on the LME, plus regional premiums and any value-added product premiums. We have also entered into agreements with our customers to sell certain amounts of alumina at market-based prices.

The payment terms and conditions in our contracts vary and are not significant to our revenue. We complete an appropriate credit evaluation for each customer at contract inception. Customer payments are due in arrears and are recognized as accounts receivable - net and due from affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with our sales agreements with certain customers, including Glencore, we invoice the customer prior to physical shipment of goods for a majority of production generated from each of our U.S. domestic smelters. For those sales, revenue is recognized only when the customer has specifically requested such treatment and has made a commitment to purchase the product. The goods must be complete, ready for shipment and separated from other inventory with control over the goods passing to the customer. We must retain no further performance obligations.

Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Amounts recognized in Due to affiliates was $42.4 million and $30.6 million, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In general, reporting entities should apply valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data and reflect assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy provides transparency regarding the inputs we use to measure fair value. We categorize each fair value measurement in its entirety into the following three levels, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement:

•Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

•Level 2 Inputs - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 Inputs - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

When valuing Level 3 assets and liabilities, we use certain significant unobservable inputs. Management incorporates various inputs and assumptions including forward commodity prices, commodity price volatility and macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates and discount rates. Our estimates of significant unobservable inputs are ultimately based on our estimates of risks that market participants would consider when valuing our assets and liabilities.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts are calculated using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive securities. Prior to the three months ended March 31, 2024, diluted EPS amounts were calculated by applying the if-converted method as net income allocated to participating securities was not significant.

8. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 195,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, of which 99,925,610 shares were issued and 92,739,089 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2024, and 99,876,385 were issued and 92,689,864 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2023.

The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which are currently outstanding, including our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or which we may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock in one or more series and determine for each series the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidating preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting that series, as well as the designation thereof. Depending upon the terms of preferred stock established by our Board of Directors, any or all of the preferred stock could have preference over the common stock with respect to dividends and other distributions and upon the liquidation of Century. In addition, issuance of any shares of preferred stock with voting powers may dilute the voting power of the outstanding common stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Shares Authorized and Outstanding. In 2008, we issued 160,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 52,238 and 52,284 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, respectively. Glencore holds all of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The issuance of common stock under our stock incentive programs, debt exchange transactions and any stock offering that excludes Glencore participation triggers anti-dilution provisions of the preferred stock agreement and results in the automatic conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The conversion of preferred to common shares is 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share.

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a $60.0 million common stock repurchase program and during the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of the program by $70.0 million. Under the program, Century is authorized to repurchase up to $130.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, from time to time, on the open market at prevailing market prices, in block trades or otherwise. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Shares of common stock repurchased are recorded at cost as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. From time to time, treasury shares may be reissued as contributions to our employee benefit plans and for the conversion of convertible preferred stock. When shares are reissued, we use an average cost method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the reissuance price is added to or deducted from additional paid-in capital.

Through June 30, 2024 we repurchased 7,186,521 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $86.3 million. We have made no repurchases since April 2015 and have approximately $43.7 million remaining under the repurchase program authorization as of June 30, 2024.

9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 million and a tax benefit of $10.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million and a tax benefit of $10.2 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to changes in pretax income amounts and jurisdictional mix on a year over year basis.

Our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The application of the accounting requirements for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance on domestic losses, causes a significant variation in the typical relationship between income tax expense/benefit and pre-tax accounting income/loss as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of June 30, 2024, all of Century's U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance.

Section 45X of The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") contains a production tax credit equal to 10% of certain eligible production costs, including, without limitation, labor, energy, depreciation and amortization and overhead expenses. On December 14, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed rules to provide guidance on the production tax credit requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 45X (the “Proposed Regulations”). The Proposed Regulations provide guidance on rules that taxpayers must satisfy to qualify for the IRA Section 45X tax credit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction of $10.7 million and $22.6 million in Cost of goods sold and a reduction of $0.5 million and $1.2 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulting in an equally offsetting manufacturing credit receivable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a Manufacturing credit receivable of $57.1 million and $59.3 million, respectively, and as of June 30, 2024, recognized a Non-current Manufacturing credit receivable of $26.0 million within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total	$	480.4	$	479.2

(1)The IRBs are classified as current liabilities because they are remarketed weekly and could be required to be repaid upon demand if there is a failed remarketing. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 4.14%.

(2)We incur interest at a base rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 9.25%.

(3)We incur interest at base rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 8.84%.

(4)We incur interest at a base rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 8.88%.

(5)We incur interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.75%.

7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2028

In April 2021, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% senior secured notes due April 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). We received proceeds of $245.2 million, after payment of certain financing fees and related expenses. The 2028 Notes bear interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, which began on October 1, 2021, at a rate of 7.5% per annum in cash. The 2028 Notes are senior secured obligations of Century, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Century, but effectively senior to unsecured debt to the extent of the value of collateral. We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the indenture governing our Senior Notes as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the total estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was $252.6 million. Although we use quoted market prices for identical debt instruments, the markets on which they trade are not considered to be active and are therefore considered Level 2 fair value measurements.

2.75% Convertible Notes due 2028

In April 2021, we completed a private offering of $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due May 1, 2028 unless earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their aggregate principal amount. We received proceeds of $83.7 million, after payment of certain financing fees and related expenses. The Convertible Notes bear interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on November 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.75% per annum in cash.

The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 53.3547 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.74 per share of

(Unaudited)

the Company's common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture. As of June 30, 2024, the conversion rate remains unchanged.

The Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s senior secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2024, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes does not exceed the outstanding principal amount.

As of June 30, 2024, the total estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was $94.7 million. Although we use quoted market prices for identical debt instruments, the markets on which they trade are not considered to be active and are therefore considered Level 2 fair value measurements.

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

We and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders (as amended from time to time, the "U.S. revolving credit facility"). On June 14, 2022 we amended our U.S. revolving credit facility, increasing our borrowing capacity to $250.0 million in the aggregate, including up to $150.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on June 14, 2027.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains customary covenants, including restrictions on mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, affiliate transactions, liens, dividends and distributions, dispositions of collateral, investments, and prepayments of indebtedness, as well as a covenant that requires the Borrowers to maintain certain minimum liquidity or availability requirements. We are in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings and $40.8 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under our U.S. revolving credit facility. Principal payments, if any, are due upon maturity of the U.S. revolving credit facility and may be prepaid without penalty.

Iceland Revolving Credit Facility

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nordural Grundartangi ehf ("Grundartangi"), entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with Landsbankinn hf., dated November 2013, as amended (the "Iceland revolving credit facility"), which originally provided for borrowings of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate. On February 4, 2022, we amended the Iceland revolving credit facility and increased the facility amount to $80.0 million. On September 28, 2022, we further amended the Iceland revolving credit facility and increased the facility amount to $100.0 million in the aggregate. Under the terms of the Iceland revolving credit facility, when Grundartangi borrows funds it will designate a repayment date, which may be any date prior to the maturity of the Iceland revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Iceland revolving credit facility. The Iceland revolving credit facility has a term through December 2026.

Our Iceland revolving credit facility contains a covenant that requires Grundartangi to maintain a minimum equity ratio. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Grundartangi Casthouse Facility

On November 2, 2021, in connection with the casthouse project at Grundartangi, we entered into an eight-year Term Facility Agreement with Arion Bank hf, to provide for borrowings up to $130.0 million (the "Casthouse Facility"). Under the Casthouse Facility, repayments of principal amounts will be made in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.739% of the principal amount, the first payment occurring in July 2024, with the remaining 60% of the principal amount to be paid no later than the termination date in December 2029. As of June 30, 2024, there were $130.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Casthouse Facility.

The Casthouse Facility also contains customary covenants, including restrictions on mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, preservation of assets, and dispositions of assets and contains a covenant that requires Grundartangi to maintain a minimum equity ratio. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Iceland Term Facility

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grundartangi, entered into a Term Facility Agreement with Arion Bank hf, dated September 2022, (the "Iceland Term Facility") to provide for borrowings up to €13.6 million. Repayments of principal amounts were made in equal monthly installments, the first payment occurring in February 2023, with the remainder of the principal amount paid in January 2024. Borrowings under the Iceland Term Facility bore interest at a rate equal to 3.2% plus EUR EURIBOR 1 month as published at any time by the European Money Markets Institute. The Iceland Term Facility has been repaid in full and has terminated pursuant to its terms in the first quarter of 2024.

Vlissingen Facility Agreement

On December 9, 2022, Vlissingen entered into a Facility Agreement with Glencore International AG pursuant to which Vlissingen may borrow from time to time up to $90.0 million (the "Vlissingen Facility Agreement") in one or more loans at a fixed interest rate equal to 8.75% per annum and payable on December 2, 2024, the maturity date of the Vlissingen Facility Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, there were $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement.

The Vlissingen Facility Agreement contains customary covenants, including with respect to mergers, guarantees and preservation and dispositions of assets. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants

Hancock County Industrial Revenue Bonds

As part of the purchase price for our acquisition of the Hawesville facility, we assumed IRBs which were issued in connection with the financing of certain solid waste disposal facilities constructed at the Hawesville facility. The IRBs bear interest at a variable rate not to exceed 12% per annum determined weekly based upon prevailing rates for similar bonds in the industrial revenue bond market and interest on the IRBs is paid quarterly. The IRBs are secured by a letter of credit issued under our U.S revolving credit facility and mature in April 2028.

Surety Bond Facility

As part of our normal business operations, we are required to provide surety bonds or issue letters of credit in certain states in which we do business as collateral for certain workers' compensation obligations. In June 2022, we entered into a surety bond facility with an insurance company to provide such bonds when applicable. As of June 30, 2024, we had issued surety bonds totaling $6.6 million. As we had previously guaranteed our workers' compensation obligations through issuance of letters of credit against our revolving credit facility, the surety bond issuance increases credit facility availability.

(amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

We have pending against us or may be subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related primarily to employment, commercial, stockholder, environmental, safety and health matters and are involved in other matters that may give rise to contingent liabilities. While the results of such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any such matters and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation and estimating liabilities, should the resolution or outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

In evaluating whether to accrue for losses associated with legal or environmental contingencies, it is our policy to take into consideration factors such as the facts and circumstances asserted, our historical experience with contingencies of a similar nature, the likelihood of our prevailing and the severity of any potential loss. For some matters, no accrual is established because we have assessed our risk of loss to be remote. Where the risk of loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual, either on an individual basis or with respect to a group of matters involving similar claims, based on the factors set forth above. While we regularly review the status of, and our estimates of potential liability associated with, contingencies to determine the adequacy of any associated accruals and related disclosures, the ultimate amount of loss may differ from our estimates.

Legal Contingencies

Ravenswood Retiree Medical Benefits

In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") filed a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"), the USW’s local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives ("CAWV Retirees"), seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with respect to the foregoing. On August 18, 2017, the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia approved a settlement agreement in respect of these actions, pursuant to which agreement, CAWV agreed to make payments into a trust for the benefit of the CAWV Retirees in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million over the course of ten years. Upon approval of the settlement, we paid $5.0 million to the aforementioned trust in September 2017 and recognized a gain of $5.5 million to arrive at the then-net present value of $12.5 million. CAWV has agreed to pay the remaining amounts under the settlement agreement in annual increments of $2.0 million for nine years. As of June 30, 2024, $2.0 million was recorded in Other current liabilities and $3.5 million was recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

PBGC Settlement

In 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") regarding an alleged "cessation of operations" at our Ravenswood facility (the "PBGC Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the PBGC Settlement Agreement, we agreed to make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $17.4 million. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of operations, we were able to defer one or more of these payments, provided that we provide the PBGC with acceptable security for such deferred payments. We historically elected to defer certain payments under the PBGC Settlement Agreement and provided the PBGC with the appropriate security. In October 2021, we amended the PBGC Settlement Agreement (the "Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement") such that we removed the deferral mechanism and agreed to contribute approximately $2.4 million per year to our defined benefit pension plans for a total of approximately $9.6 million, over the next four years beginning on November 30, 2022 and ending on November 30, 2025, subject to acceleration if certain terms and conditions are met in such amendment. As of June 30, 2024, we made contributions of $6.9 million and no payments related to the Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement. Comparatively, as of June 30, 2023, we made contributions of $2.4 million related to the Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement.

Power Commitments and Contingencies

Century Aluminum of South Carolina ("CASC") has a power supply agreement with Santee Cooper that has an effective term through December 2026. Under this power supply agreement, 100% of Mt. Holly’s electrical power requirements are supplied from Santee Cooper’s generation at cost of service based rates.

Grundartangi

Grundartangi has power purchase agreements for approximately 545 MW of aggregate power with HS Orka hf ("HS"), Landsvirkjun and Orkuveita Reykjavikur ("OR"). These power purchase agreements expire on various dates from 2026 through 2036 (subject to extension). The power purchase agreements with each of HS and OR provide power at LME-based variable rates for the duration of these agreements. Under the terms of the Landsvirkjun agreement, Landsvirkjun will provide up to 182 MW over time to support the most recent capacity creep requirements and the new billet casthouse at Grundartangi. The Landsvirkjun agreement provides for fixed rates on most of the 182 MW, with a variable rate applicable to a smaller portion of the power through December 31, 2026. Grundartangi also has a separate 25 MW power purchase agreement with Landsvirkjun at LME-based variable rate.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Labor Commitments

The bargaining unit employees at our Grundartangi, Vlissingen, Hawesville, Sebree and Jamalco facilities are represented by labor unions, representing approximately 59% of our total workforce.

Approximately 87% of Grundartangi’s work force is represented by five labor unions, governed by a labor agreement that establishes wages and work rules for covered employees. This agreement is effective through December 31, 2024.

100% of Vlissingen's work force is represented by the Federation for the Metal and Electrical Industry ("FME"), a Netherlands' employers' organization for companies in the metal, electronics, electrical engineering and plastic sectors. The FME negotiates working conditions with trade unions on behalf of its members, which, when agreed upon, are then applicable to all employees of Vlissingen. The current labor agreement is effective through December 31, 2025.

Approximately 38% of our U.S. based work force is represented by USW through separately negotiated labor agreements for each facility. The labor agreement for Hawesville employees is effective through April 1, 2026. Upon announcement of the temporary curtailment, Hawesville and the USW local union entered into effects bargaining. An agreement was reached on July 19, 2022, covering the curtailment period. Century Sebree's labor agreement with the USW for its employees is effective through October 28, 2028. Mt. Holly employees are not represented by a labor union.

Approximately 61% of Jamalco’s work force is represented by the Union of Technical, Administrative, and Supervisory Personnel ("UTASP") through separately negotiated labor agreements for hourly and salaried employee groups. Both contracts were effective through December 31, 2023. Jamalco is currently in the process of negotiating new contracts with both the salaried and hourly employee groups.

Contingent obligations

We have a contingent obligation in connection with the "unwind" of a contractual arrangement between CAKY, Big Rivers Electric Corporation ("Big Rivers") and a third party and the execution of a long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy, a member of a cooperative of Big Rivers, in July 2009. This contingent obligation consists of the aggregate payments made to Big Rivers by the third party on CAKY’s behalf in excess of the agreed upon base amount under the long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy. As of June 30, 2024, the principal and accrued interest for the contingent obligation was $31.6 million, which was fully offset by a derivative asset. We may be required to make installment payments for the contingent obligation in the future. These payments are contingent based on the LME price of primary aluminum and the level of Hawesville’s operations. As of June 30, 2024, the LME forward market prices do not exceed the threshold for payment. In addition, based on the current level of Hawesville's operations, including the temporary curtailment, we believe that we will not be required to make payments on the contingent obligation during the term of the agreement, which expires in 2028. There can be no assurance that circumstances will not change thus accelerating the timing of such payments.

Overview

We are a global producer of primary aluminum with aluminum reduction facilities, or "smelters," in the United States and Iceland. In addition to our primary aluminum assets, we have a 55% joint venture interest in the Jamalco bauxite mining operation and alumina refinery in Jamaica. The Jamalco refinery supplies a substantial amount of the alumina used for the production of primary aluminum at our Grundartangi, Iceland facility. We also own a carbon anode production facility located in the Netherlands. The key determinants of our results of operations and cash flows from operations are as follows:

•the price of primary aluminum, which is based on the London Metal Exchange ("LME") and other exchanges, plus any regional premiums and value-added product premiums;

•the cost of goods sold, the principal components of which are electrical power, alumina, carbon products, caustic soda, natural gas, heavy fuel oil and labor, which in aggregate represent more than 75% of our cost of goods sold; and

•our production volume and product mix.

Recent Developments

Hurricane Beryl

In early July 2024, Hurricane Beryl temporarily impacted our operations at Jamalco. The production facilities were not materially impacted by the storm with full production resuming shortly after the storm. The port facility was impacted by the storm, where a portion of the alumina conveyor was damaged. Jamalco has secured alternative port arrangements to allow for alumina shipments to its customers while the repairs to the conveyor are ongoing.

U.S. Department of Energy Award

On March 25, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations selected the Company to begin award negotiations for up to $500.0 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act funding to build a new aluminum smelter as part of the Industrial Demonstrations Program ("IDP"). With the help of this funding, we plan to build the first new U.S. primary aluminum smelter in 45 years at a site within the Ohio/Mississippi River Basins.

Section 45X of the Inflation Reduction Act

On December 14, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department’s issued proposed regulations implementing Section 45X of the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided guidance on rules taxpayers must satisfy to qualify for the tax credit. The government has incentivized the production of aluminum by offering a tax credit equal to 10% of eligible domestic production costs. Based on the proposed regulations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $10.7 million and $22.6 million as a reduction in Cost of goods sold and $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as a reduction in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulting in an equally offsetting receivable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recognized a Manufacturing credit receivable of $57.1 million and $59.3 million, respectively, and as of June 30, 2024, we recognized a Non-current Manufacturing credit receivable of $26.0 million within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Hawesville curtailment

In August 2022 we fully curtailed production at the Hawesville facility and expect to continue to maintain the plant with the intention of restarting operations when market conditions permit, including energy prices returning to more normalized levels and aluminum prices maintaining levels that can support the on-going costs and capital expenditures necessary to restart and operate the plant.

Comparatively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred curtailment charges of approximately $4.4 million and $11.4 million, including $3.6 million and $9.0 million related to demand capacity charges for power, respectively. These charges were partially offset by income related to scrap and materials sales of $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Acquisition of 55% interest in Jamalco

On May 2, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, CAJH, acquired for $1.00 all of the outstanding share capital of GAHL, the indirect holder of a 55% interest in Jamalco, an unincorporated joint venture with CAP, which is owned by the Government of Jamaica. Jamalco is engaged in bauxite mining and alumina refining in Jamaica. The Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, GAJL, is the manager of Jamalco. Jamalco has alumina production capacity of approximately 1.4 million tonnes. We finalized the purchase accounting and recognized a bargain purchase gain of $245.9 million within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our historical financial statements for periods prior to May 2, 2023 do not include the results of Jamalco. Refer to Note 2. Acquisition of Jamalco for further information.

Equipment Failure

Starting in June 2023, we experienced power disruptions due to damage to the Jamalco power generation unit. The equipment returned to full capacity as of the end of October 2023, but we continued to experience some inefficiencies into the six months ended June 30, 2024. These inefficiencies led to higher production costs of alumina capitalized into inventory, some of which was shipped in the period. The cumulative impact of the equipment failure from the second quarter of 2023 through June 30, 2024 was approximately $38.8 million. We are actively engaged with our insurance carriers in connection with this equipment failure to determine the specific amount of coverage available to us, including any applicable deductibles.

Pricing of aluminum

The overall price of primary aluminum consists of three components: (i) the base commodity price, which is based on quoted prices on the LME and other exchanges; plus (ii) any regional premium (e.g., the Midwest premium for metal sold in the United States ("MWP") and the European Duty Paid premium for metal sold into Europe ("EDPP")); plus (iii) any value-added product premium. Each of these price components has its own drivers and variability.

The price of aluminum is influenced by a number of factors, including global supply-demand balance, inventory levels, speculative activities by market participants, production activities by producers, geopolitical and economic conditions, as well as production costs in major production regions. These factors can be highly variable and difficult to predict, which can lead to significant volatility in the price of aluminum. Increases or decreases in primary aluminum prices drive variability in our revenues (assuming all other factors are unchanged). From time to time, we may seek to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the LME price of primary aluminum and/or associated regional premiums through financial instruments designed to limit our downside price risk. Information regarding financial contracts is included in Note 15. Derivatives and risks associated with such financial contracts are disclosed specifically in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

We saw continued increases in the pricing of aluminum through the second quarter of 2024, which is driven by limited supply growth and year over year global demand increases keeping inventory levels near historic lows. The following table summarizes the average price for primary aluminum per tonne for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 compared to the average price for primary aluminum per tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 .

Results of Operations

The following discussion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 reflects no change in production capacities.

Our net sales are impacted primarily by the LME price for aluminum, regional and value-added premiums, and the volume and product mix of aluminum we ship during the period. In general, our results reflect the LME and regional premium pricing on an approximately one to three month lag basis reflecting contractual terms with our customers.

Electrical power, alumina, carbon products, caustic soda, natural gas, heavy fuel oil and labor are the principal components of our cost of goods sold. Power costs can be volatile as a result of a number of factors beyond our control. See “Item 1A. Risk

Table of Contents

Factors — Increases in energy costs may adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Power costs at our Kentucky plants are impacted by capacity demand charges, which are determined based on available power generating capacity in MISO, from which we purchase energy. The price of such capacity is set by auction annually in April. Our expected capacity demand costs for power were approximately $2 million for the twelve months ending May 31, 2024, in addition to the market price of power used. We anticipate the capacity demand power costs resulting from the April 2024 auction for the twelve months ending May 31, 2025 to be approximately $3 million.

In 2024, energy prices in the U.S. and Europe have moderated from their previously elevated levels. European energy markets impact our Vlissingen facility in the Netherlands, which utilizes natural gas to produce anodes used in our Grundartangi operations. The energy market in Europe has historically been dependent upon imported natural gas from Russia, and the significant reduction in Russian gas supply to Europe has resulted in increased uncertainty with respect to the price and availability of natural gas. Adverse changes to European natural gas prices or availability could adversely affect operations at Vlissingen, and in turn operations at Grundartangi, if we are not able to source an alternative supply of anodes.

In general, our results reflect the market cost of alumina on an approximately three-month lag reflecting the terms of our alumina contracts and inventory levels.

See Note 9. Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are available cash and cash flows from operations. We also have access to our existing U.S. and Iceland revolving credit facilities (collectively, the "revolving credit facilities") and have raised capital in the past through public equity and debt markets. Our principal uses of cash include the funding of operating costs (including post-retirement benefits), debt service requirements, capital expenditures, investments in our growth activities and in related businesses, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

We believe that cash provided from operations and financing activities will be adequate to cover our operations and business needs over the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $41.3 million and unused availability under our revolving credit facilities of $301.3 million (including $80 million under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement referred to below, which expires in December 2024). Our cash and cash equivalents and unused availability under our revolving credit facilities comprise our liquidity position, which was $342.6 million as of June 30, 2024.

Available Cash

Our available cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2024 was $41.3 million compared to $88.8 million at December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our statements of cash flows are summarized below:


	Six months ended June 30,
(in millions)	2024		2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3.3)	$	(1.9)
Net cash used in investing activities	(44.3)		(17.2)
Net cash provided by financing activities	0.1		25.1
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(47.5)	$	6.0

The increase in net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by timing of payments and receipts.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher cash spend on the purchase of property, plant and equipment in the current year attributable to the Grundartangi casthouse project. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received cash inflows of $19.4 million from the acquisition of subsidiary, net of cash acquired.

The change in net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to reduction in net borrowings on our revolving credit facilities and Grundartangi Casthouse Facility.

Availability Under Our Credit Facilities

Our U.S. revolving credit facility, dated May 2018 (as amended, the "U.S. revolving credit facility"), previously provided for borrowings of up to $220.0 million, including up to $110.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility. In June 2022, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our existing $220.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility, increasing the maximum capacity from $220.0 million to $250.0 million, including up to $150.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures in June 2027. Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

We have also entered into, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nordural Grundartangi ehf ("Grundartangi"), a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, dated November 2013, as amended (the "Iceland revolving credit facility"). On February 4, 2022, we amended the Iceland revolving credit facility and increased the facility amount to $80.0 million in the aggregate. On September 28, 2022, we further amended the Iceland revolving credit facility and increased the facility amount to $100.0 million in the aggregate. The Iceland revolving credit facility matures in December 2026.

The availability of funds under our credit facilities is limited by a specified borrowing base consisting of certain accounts receivable, inventory and qualified cash deposits which meet the lenders' eligibility criteria. Increases in the price of aluminum and/or restarts of previously curtailed operations, for example, increase our borrowing base by increasing our accounts receivable and inventory balances; decreases in the price of aluminum and/or curtailments of production capacity would decrease our borrowing base by reducing our accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of June 30, 2024, our U.S. revolving credit facility had a borrowing availability of $162.1 million, outstanding borrowings of $0.0 million, and $40.8 million of outstanding letters of credit with total availability of $121.3 million. Of the outstanding letters of credit, $13.7 million are related to our power commitments and the remaining $27.1 million are primarily for the purpose of securing certain debt and workers’ compensation commitments. As of June 30, 2024, our Iceland revolving credit facility had a borrowing base of $100.0 million and no outstanding borrowings, with total availability of $100.0 million.

As of June 30, 2024, our credit facilities (including the Vlissingen Facility Agreement referred to below, which facility expires in December 2024) had $301.3 million of net availability after consideration of our outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. We may borrow and make repayments under our credit facilities in the ordinary course based on a number of factors, including the timing of payments from our customers and payments to our suppliers.

Our credit facilities contain customary covenants, including restrictions on mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, affiliate transactions, liens, dividends and distributions, dispositions of collateral, investments and prepayments of indebtedness, including in the U.S. revolving credit facility, a springing financial covenant that requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 as of any date of determination on which availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than or equal to $25.0 million, or 10% of the borrowing base, but not less than $17.85 million. We intend to maintain availability to comply with these levels any time we would not meet the ratio, which could limit our ability to access the full

amount of our availability under our U.S revolving credit facility. Our Iceland revolving credit facility contains a covenant that requires Grundartangi to maintain a minimum equity ratio. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants or maintained availability above such covenant triggers.

Grundartangi Casthouse Facility

On November 2, 2021, Grundartangi entered into an eight-year Term Facility Agreement with Arion Bank hf, to provide for borrowings up to $130 million in connection with the casthouse project at Grundartangi (the "Casthouse Facility"). Under the Casthouse Facility, repayments of principal amounts will be made in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.739% of the principal amount, the first payment occurring in July 2024, with the remaining 60% of the principal amount to be paid no later than the termination date. The Casthouse Facility will mature in December 2029. The Casthouse Facility bears interest at a rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. As of June 30, 2024 there were $130.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Casthouse Facility.

Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Notes

In April 2021, we issued $250.0 million principal of senior secured notes that will mature on April 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), unless earlier refinanced in accordance with their terms. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, at a rate of 7.5% per year. The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains customary covenants which may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur additional liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with shareholders or affiliates; and (ix) effect a consolidation or merger.

In April 2021, we issued $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes"), that will mature on May 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. The principal included the full exercise of the option by the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes to purchase $11.3 million of additional principal amount. The Convertible Notes bear interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, at a rate of 2.75% per annum in cash.

Iceland Term Facility

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grundartangi, entered into a Term Facility Agreement with Arion Bank hf, dated September 2022, (the "Iceland Term Facility") to provide for borrowings up to €13.6 million. Under the Iceland Term Facility, repayments of principal amounts were made in equal monthly installments, the first payment occurring in February 2023, with the remainder of the principal amount paid in January 2024. Borrowings under the Iceland Term Facility bore interest at a rate equal to 3.2% plus EUR EURIBOR 1 month as published at any time by the European Money Markets Institute. The Iceland Term Facility has been repaid in full and has terminated pursuant to its terms in the first quarter of 2024.

Vlissingen Facility Agreement

On December 9, 2022, Vlissingen entered into a Facility Agreement with Glencore International AG pursuant to which Vlissingen may borrow from time to time up to $90.0 million in one or more loans at a fixed interest rate equal to 8.75% per annum and payable on December 2, 2024 (the Vlissingen Facility Agreement"). The obligations under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement are secured by liens on the ground lease on which Vlissingen's facilities are located. Vlissingen's moveable assets, financial assets, receivables and other assets, and Vlissingen's shares. The Vlissingen Facility Agreement contains customary covenants, including with respect to mergers, guarantees and preservation and dispositions of assets. The availability period for borrowings under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement ends December 2, 2024. Amounts drawn, if any, under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of Century and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, there were $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Vlissingen Facility Agreement.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Universal Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer an indeterminate amount of securities, which may include securities that are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, we have not issued any debt

Table of Contents

securities pursuant to the Universal Shelf Registration Statement. However, any securities that we may issue in the future may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock.

"Guarantor Subsidiaries" refers to all of our material domestic subsidiaries except for Nordural US LLC, Century Aluminum Development LLC, Century Aluminum of West Virginia, Inc. and Century Aluminum Jamaica Holdings, Inc. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by Century. All guarantees will be joint and several, full and unconditional. Our foreign subsidiaries, together with Nordural US LLC, Century Aluminum Development LLC, Century Aluminum of West Virginia, Inc. and Century Aluminum Jamaica Holdings, Inc. are collectively referred to as the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries." We allocate corporate expenses or income to our subsidiaries and charge interest on certain intercompany balances.

The following summarized financial information of both the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Guarantors") is presented on a combined basis. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and the Guarantors have been eliminated and the summarized financial information does not reflect investments of the Company or the Guarantors in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantors"). The Company’s or Guarantors’ amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with the Non-Guarantors are disclosed below:


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Current assets	$	393.2	$	361.5

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, an intercompany receivable due to the Company and Guarantors from the Non-Guarantors totaled $48.6 million and $48.7 million, respectively, and an intercompany non-current loan due to the Company from the Non-Guarantors totaled $344.1 million and $384.9 million, respectively. An intercompany current loan due to the Company from the Non-Guarantors totaled $2.9 million as of December 31, 2023, and as of June 30, 2024 there was no outstanding balance on this loan.

Contingent Commitments

We have a contingent obligation in connection with the "unwind" of a contractual arrangement between Century Aluminum of Kentucky ("CAKY"), Big Rivers Electric Corporation and a third party and the execution in July 2009 of a long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy, a member of a cooperative of Big Rivers. This contingent obligation consists of the aggregate payments made to Big Rivers by the third party on CAKY’s behalf in excess of the agreed upon base amount under the long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy. As of June 30, 2024, the principal and accrued interest for the contingent obligation was $31.6 million, which was fully offset by a derivative asset. We may be required to make installment payments for the contingent obligation in the future. These payments are contingent based on the LME price of primary aluminum and the level of Hawesville’s operations. As of June 30, 2024, based on the LME forward market prices and our expected level of Hawesville operations, we believe that we will not be required to make payments on the contingent obligation during the term of the agreement, which expires in 2028. There can be no assurance that circumstances will not change thus accelerating the timing of such payments.

Employee Benefit Plan Contributions

agreed to contribute approximately $2.4 million per year to our defined benefit pension plans for a total of approximately $9.6 million, over four years beginning on November 30, 2022 and ending on November 30, 2025, subject to acceleration if certain terms and conditions are met in such amendment. As of June 30, 2024, we made contributions of $6.9 million related to the Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement. We did not make any contributions for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2024.

Section 232 Aluminum Tariff

On March 23, 2018, the U.S. implemented a 10% tariff on imported primary aluminum products into the U.S. These tariffs are intended to protect U.S. national security and incentivize the restart of primary aluminum production in the U.S., reducing reliance on imports and ensuring that domestic producers, like Century, can supply all the aluminum necessary for critical industries and national defense. In addition to primary aluminum products, the tariffs also cover certain other semi-finished products. All imports that directly compete with our products are covered by the tariff, with the exception of imports from Australia, Canada and Mexico. Additionally, primary aluminum imports from Argentina are allowed up to an annual quota limit of 169,000 metric tonnes, the first 18,000 metric tonnes of imports from the European Union and the first 900 metric tonnes of imports from the United Kingdom are also allowed duty free. Imports that receive a product exclusion from the Department of Commerce may also enter the US duty free. In July 2022, the International Trade Commission (ITC) initiated a review of the Section 301 and 232 duties as required by law every four years.

On March 15, 2023, the ITC submitted a report to the United States Congress entitled, 'Economic Impact of Section 232 and 301 Tariffs on U.S. Industries,' in which the ITC found that the tariffs increased the production of domestic aluminum while causing prices to increase by less than two percent. Accordingly, we do not believe there will be any material changes to the current tariffs in the near future.

Section 301 Tariffs

On May 22, 2024, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued a proposal (the “Proposal”) to implement new

tariffs on certain items and increase existing tariffs on other items imported from China pursuant to USTR’s authority under

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The new and increased tariffs were adopted pursuant to the USTR’s authority to

investigate unfair trade barriers and impose measures to counteract a foreign country’s unfair or discriminatory trade practices.

Under the Proposal, tariffs on aluminum imported from China are expected to increase to 25% from the current 7.5% tariff

imposed in 2018. The increased tariff is in addition to the 10% tariff imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. The new and increased Section 301 tariffs are only applicable to imports with China as the country of origin.

Other Items

In August 2022, President Biden signed the IRA into law. The IRA provides for substantial tax credits and incentives for the development of critical minerals (including aluminum), renewable energy, clean fuels, electric vehicles, and supporting infrastructure, among other provisions. Section 45X of the IRA contains a production tax credit equal to 10% of certain eligible production costs, including, without limitation, labor, energy, depreciation and amortization and overhead expenses. On December 14, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed rules to provide guidance on the production tax credit requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 45X (the “Proposed Regulations”). The Proposed Regulations provide guidance on rules that taxpayers must satisfy to qualify for the Section 45X tax credit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $10.7 million and $22.6 million as a reduction in Cost of goods sold and $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as a reduction in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulting in an equally offsetting receivable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recognized a Manufacturing credit receivable of $57.1 million and $59.3 million, respectively, and as of June 30, 2024, we recognized a Non-current Manufacturing credit receivable of $26.0 million within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2021, we announced plans for construction of a new billet casthouse at Grundartangi. The Grundartangi casthouse project began in late 2021 and was completed during the second quarter of 2024. The Grundartangi casthouse project was fully funded through the Casthouse Facility. The project is expected to ship first billets out of the casthouse during the second half of 2024, subject to market conditions.

In 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a $60.0 million common stock repurchase program and during the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of the program by $70.0 million. Under the program, Century is authorized to repurchase up to $130.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, from time to time, on the open market at prevailing market prices, in block trades or otherwise. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and other factors. We made no repurchases during the years ended 2021, 2022, and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we had $43.7 million remaining under the

Table of Contents

repurchase program authorization. The repurchase program may be expanded, suspended or discontinued by our Board, in its sole discretion, at any time.

In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia, Inc. ("CAWV") filed a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"), the USW’s local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives ("CAWV Retirees"), seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with respect to the foregoing. On August 18, 2017, the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia approved a settlement agreement in respect of these actions, pursuant to which, CAWV agreed to make payments into a trust for the benefit of the CAWV Retirees in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million over the course of ten years. Upon approval of the settlement, we paid $5.0 million to the aforementioned trust in September 2017 and agreed to pay the remaining amounts under the settlement agreement in annual increments of $2.0 million for nine years. At June 30, 2024, we had $2.0 million in other current liabilities and $3.5 million in other liabilities related to this agreement.

We are a defendant in several actions relating to various aspects of our business. While it is impossible to predict the ultimate disposition of any litigation, we do not believe that any of these lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Capital Resources

We intend to finance our future capital expenditures from available cash, cash flows from operations and if necessary, borrowing under our existing revolving credit facilities. For major investment projects we would likely seek financing from various capital and loan markets and may potentially pursue the formation of strategic alliances. We may be unable, however, to issue additional debt or equity securities, or enter into other financing arrangements on attractive terms, or at all, due to a number of factors including a lack of demand, unfavorable pricing, poor economic conditions, unfavorable interest rates, or our financial condition or credit rating at the time. Future uncertainty in the U.S. and international markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to access the debt or capital markets and our financial condition.

Capital expenditures incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $17.7 million, excluding expenditures of $27.8 million associated with the Grundartangi casthouse project. We estimate our total capital spending in 2024, excluding the Grundartangi casthouse project, will be approximately $20 to $30 million, related to our ongoing investment and sustainability projects at our aluminum smelters and alumina refinery.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Price and Raw Material Costs Sensitivities

Aluminum is an internationally traded commodity, and its price is effectively determined on the LME plus any regional premium (e.g. the Midwest premium for aluminum sold in the United States and the European Duty Paid premium for metal sold into Europe) and any value-added product premiums. From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in the LME price of primary aluminum and/or associated regional premiums through financial instruments designed to protect our downside price risk exposure. From time to time, we also enter into financial contracts to offset fixed price sales arrangements with certain of our customers (the "fixed for floating swaps").

We are also exposed to price risk for alumina which is one of the largest components of our cost of goods sold. Certain portions of the alumina we purchase is priced based on a published alumina index. As a result, our cost structure is exposed to market fluctuations and price volatility. Because we sell our products based principally on the LME price for primary aluminum, regional premiums and value-added product premiums, we are not able to directly pass on increased production costs to our customers. From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in our alumina costs by purchasing certain of our alumina requirements under supply contracts with prices tied to the same indices as our aluminum sales contracts (the LME price of primary aluminum).

Market-Based Power Price Sensitivity

Market-Based Electrical Power Agreements

Hawesville and Sebree have a market-based electrical power agreement pursuant to which Kenergy purchases electrical power on the open market and passes it through at MISO energy pricing, plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information about these market-based power agreements.

Power is supplied to Grundartangi from hydroelectric and geothermal sources under long-term power purchase agreements. These power purchase agreements, which will expire on various dates from 2026 through 2036 (subject to extension), currently provide power at LME-based variable rates for 70% of Grundartangi's power requirements. The remaining 30% of Grundartangi's power requirements is primarily at fixed rates plus a small variable rate portion.

From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in the market price of power through financial instruments designed to protect our downside risk exposure.

Electrical Power Price Sensitivity

Given our market-based power supply agreements, we have electrical power price risk for our operations, whether due to fluctuations in the price of power available on the MISO power market or the price of natural gas. Power represents one of our largest operating costs, so changes in the price and/or availability of market power could significantly impact the profitability and viability of our operations. Transmission line outages, problems with grid stability or limitations on energy import capability could also increase power prices, disrupt production through pot instability or force a curtailment of all or part of the production at these facilities. In addition, indirect factors that lead to power cost increases, such as any increasing prices for natural gas or coal, fluctuations in or extremes in weather patterns or new or more stringent environmental regulations may severely impact our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Table of Contents

The consumption shown in the table below reflects each operation at 100% production capacity and does not reflect production curtailments.

Electrical power price sensitivity by location:


	Hawesville		Sebree	Mt. Holly	Grundartangi	Total

Quarterly estimated electrical power usage (in megawatt hours ("MWh"))	1,055,580		843,150	876,000	1,189,170	3,963,900
Quarterly cost impact of an increase or decrease of $1 per MWh (in millions)	$	1.1	0.8	0.9	1.2	$	4.0
Annual expected electrical power usage (in MWh)	4,222,320		3,372,600	3,504,000	4,756,680	15,855,600
Annual cost impact of an increase or decrease of $1 per MWh (in millions)	$	4.2	3.4	3.5	4.8	$	15.9

Foreign Currency

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Icelandic krona ("ISK"), the Euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Jamaican dollar and other currencies. Grundartangi’s labor costs, part of its maintenance costs and other local services are denominated in ISK and a portion of its anode costs are denominated in Euros and Chinese renminbi. We also have deposits denominated in ISK in Icelandic banks and our estimated payments of Icelandic income taxes and any associated refunds are denominated in ISK. Vlissingen's labor costs, maintenance costs, and other local services are denominated in Euros. Further, Jamalco's labor costs, maintenance costs, and other local services are denominated in Jamaican dollars. We also have deposits denominated in Jamaican dollars in Jamaican banks and our estimated payments of Jamaican income taxes and any associated refunds are denominated in Jamaican dollars. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would affect Grundartangi’s, Vlissingen's and Jamalco's operating margins.

We may manage our foreign currency exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts or option contracts for forecasted transactions and projected cash flows for foreign currencies in future periods. We have entered into financial contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the ISK and Euro under our casthouse currency hedges.

Natural Economic Hedges

Any analysis of our exposure to the commodity price of aluminum should consider the impact of natural hedges provided by certain contracts that contain pricing indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum. Certain alumina contracts and a substantial portion of Grundartangi’s electrical power requirements are indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum and provide a natural hedge for a portion of our production.

Risk Management

Any metals, power, natural gas and foreign currency risk management activities are subject to the control and direction of senior management within guidelines established by Century’s Board of Directors. These activities are regularly reported to Century’s Board of Directors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On May 2, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Jamaica Holdings, Inc. ("CAJH"), completed the acquisition of all the outstanding share capital of General Alumina Holdings Limited ("GAHL"), the indirect holder of a 55% interest in Jamalco, an unincorporated joint venture engaged in bauxite mining and alumina production in Jamaica. We have implemented internal controls over significant processes specific to Jamalco that management believes are appropriate in consideration of related integration of operations, systems, and control activities. Except as described in preceding sentence relating to integration of internal controls specific to Jamalco, as of June 30, 2024 there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”), effective August 10, 2012, added a new subsection (r) to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, which requires issuers that file periodic reports with the SEC to disclose in their annual and quarterly reports whether, during the reporting period, they or any of their “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) have knowingly engaged in specified activities or transactions relating to Iran, including activities not prohibited by U.S. law and conducted outside the U.S. by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable laws. Issuers must also file a notice with the SEC if any disclosable activity under ITRA has been included in an annual or quarterly report.

Because the SEC defines the term “affiliate” broadly, our largest stockholder may be considered an affiliate of the Company despite the fact that the Company has no control over its largest stockholder’s actions or the actions of its affiliates. As such, pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(iii) of the Exchange Act, the Company hereby discloses the following information provided by our largest stockholder regarding transactions or dealings with entities controlled by the Government of Iran (“the GOI”):

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, non-U.S. affiliates of the largest stockholder of the Company (“the non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates”) entered into sales contracts for agricultural products with, or for delivery to or from Iranian entities wholly or majority owned by the GOI. The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates performed their obligations under the contracts in compliance with applicable sanction laws and, where required, with the necessary prior approvals by the relevant governmental authorities.

The gross revenue of the non-U.S Stockholder Affiliates related to the contracts did not exceed the value of USD $171 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates do not allocate net profit on a country-by-country or activity-by-activity basis, but estimate that the net profit attributable to the contracts would not exceed a small fraction of the gross revenue from such contracts. It is not possible to determine accurately the precise net profit attributable to such contracts.

The contracts disclosed above do not violate applicable sanctions laws administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, and are not the subject of any enforcement action under Iran sanction laws.

The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates expect to continue to engage in similar activities in the future in compliance with applicable economic sanctions and in conformity with U.S. secondary sanctions.

The Company and its global subsidiaries had no transactions or activities requiring disclosure under ITRA, nor were we involved in the transactions described in this section. As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any other activity, transaction or dealing by it or any of its affiliates during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Officers

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, no director or officer of the Company who is required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act has informed us that he or she has adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
General	General The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Century Aluminum Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the first six months of 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Throughout this Form 10-Q, and unless expressly stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, "Century Aluminum", "Century", "the Company", "we", "us", "our" and "ours" refer to Century Aluminum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of the Jamalco joint venture ("Jamalco"), an unincorporated joint venture between General Alumina Jamaica Limited ("GAJL"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Clarendon Alumina Production Limited ("CAP"). CAP's interest in the joint venture is reflected as noncontrolling interest on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. ("ASU") 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." ("ASU 2023-07"). Among other changes, the ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning with its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning with its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2023-09.

Curtailment of Operations - Hawesville	Jun. 30, 2024
Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Curtailment of Operations - Hawesville	Curtailment of Operations - Hawesville In August 2022, we fully curtailed production at the Hawesville facility and expect to continue to maintain the plant with the intention of restarting operations when market conditions permit, including energy prices returning to more normalized levels and aluminum prices maintaining levels that can support the on-going costs and capital expenditures necessary to restart and operate the plant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred curtailment charges of approximately $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. These charges were partially offset by income related to scrap and materials sales of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no scrap and materials sales as of the three months ended June 30, 2024. Comparatively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred curtailment charges of approximately $4.4 million and $11.4 million, including $3.6 million and $9.0 million related to demand capacity charges for power, respectively. These charges were partially offset by income related to scrap and materials sales of $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Shareholders’ Equity	Shareholders’ Equity Common Stock As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 195,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, of which 99,925,610 shares were issued and 92,739,089 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2024, and 99,876,385 were issued and 92,689,864 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2023. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which are currently outstanding, including our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or which we may designate and issue in the future. Preferred Stock As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock in one or more series and determine for each series the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidating preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting that series, as well as the designation thereof. Depending upon the terms of preferred stock established by our Board of Directors, any or all of the preferred stock could have preference over the common stock with respect to dividends and other distributions and upon the liquidation of Century. In addition, issuance of any shares of preferred stock with voting powers may dilute the voting power of the outstanding common stock. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Shares Authorized and Outstanding. In 2008, we issued 160,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 52,238 and 52,284 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, respectively. Glencore holds all of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The issuance of common stock under our stock incentive programs, debt exchange transactions and any stock offering that excludes Glencore participation triggers anti-dilution provisions of the preferred stock agreement and results in the automatic conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The conversion of preferred to common shares is 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share. Stock Repurchase Program In 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a $60.0 million common stock repurchase program and during the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of the program by $70.0 million. Under the program, Century is authorized to repurchase up to $130.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, from time to time, on the open market at prevailing market prices, in block trades or otherwise. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares of common stock repurchased are recorded at cost as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. From time to time, treasury shares may be reissued as contributions to our employee benefit plans and for the conversion of convertible preferred stock. When shares are reissued, we use an average cost method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the reissuance price is added to or deducted from additional paid-in capital. Through June 30, 2024 we repurchased 7,186,521 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $86.3 million. We have made no repurchases since April 2015 and have approximately $43.7 million remaining under the repurchase program authorization as of June 30, 2024.

Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 million and a tax benefit of $10.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million and a tax benefit of $10.2 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to changes in pretax income amounts and jurisdictional mix on a year over year basis. Our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The application of the accounting requirements for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance on domestic losses, causes a significant variation in the typical relationship between income tax expense/benefit and pre-tax accounting income/loss as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, all of Century's U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance. Section 45X of The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") contains a production tax credit equal to 10% of certain eligible production costs, including, without limitation, labor, energy, depreciation and amortization and overhead expenses. On December 14, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed rules to provide guidance on the production tax credit requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 45X (the “Proposed Regulations”). The Proposed Regulations provide guidance on rules that taxpayers must satisfy to qualify for the IRA Section 45X tax credit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction of $10.7 million and $22.6 million in Cost of goods sold and a reduction of $0.5 million and $1.2 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulting in an equally offsetting manufacturing credit receivable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a Manufacturing credit receivable of $57.1 million and $59.3 million, respectively, and as of June 30, 2024, recognized a Non-current Manufacturing credit receivable of $26.0 million within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies	Jun. 30, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We have pending against us or may be subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related primarily to employment, commercial, stockholder, environmental, safety and health matters and are involved in other matters that may give rise to contingent liabilities. While the results of such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any such matters and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation and estimating liabilities, should the resolution or outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. In evaluating whether to accrue for losses associated with legal or environmental contingencies, it is our policy to take into consideration factors such as the facts and circumstances asserted, our historical experience with contingencies of a similar nature, the likelihood of our prevailing and the severity of any potential loss. For some matters, no accrual is established because we have assessed our risk of loss to be remote. Where the risk of loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual, either on an individual basis or with respect to a group of matters involving similar claims, based on the factors set forth above. While we regularly review the status of, and our estimates of potential liability associated with, contingencies to determine the adequacy of any associated accruals and related disclosures, the ultimate amount of loss may differ from our estimates. Legal Contingencies Ravenswood Retiree Medical Benefits In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") filed a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"), the USW’s local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives ("CAWV Retirees"), seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with respect to the foregoing. On August 18, 2017, the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia approved a settlement agreement in respect of these actions, pursuant to which agreement, CAWV agreed to make payments into a trust for the benefit of the CAWV Retirees in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million over the course of ten years. Upon approval of the settlement, we paid $5.0 million to the aforementioned trust in September 2017 and recognized a gain of $5.5 million to arrive at the then-net present value of $12.5 million. CAWV has agreed to pay the remaining amounts under the settlement agreement in annual increments of $2.0 million for nine years. As of June 30, 2024, $2.0 million was recorded in Other current liabilities and $3.5 million was recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. PBGC Settlement In 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") regarding an alleged "cessation of operations" at our Ravenswood facility (the "PBGC Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the PBGC Settlement Agreement, we agreed to make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $17.4 million. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of operations, we were able to defer one or more of these payments, provided that we provide the PBGC with acceptable security for such deferred payments. We historically elected to defer certain payments under the PBGC Settlement Agreement and provided the PBGC with the appropriate security. In October 2021, we amended the PBGC Settlement Agreement (the "Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement") such that we removed the deferral mechanism and agreed to contribute approximately $2.4 million per year to our defined benefit pension plans for a total of approximately $9.6 million, over the next four years beginning on November 30, 2022 and ending on November 30, 2025, subject to acceleration if certain terms and conditions are met in such amendment. As of June 30, 2024, we made contributions of $6.9 million and no payments related to the Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement. Comparatively, as of June 30, 2023, we made contributions of $2.4 million related to the Amended PBGC Settlement Agreement. Power Commitments and Contingencies Hawesville Hawesville has a power supply arrangement with Kenergy and Century Marketer, LLC (“Century Marketer"), Century's wholly-owned subsidiary that acts as a MISO market participant. Under this arrangement, Hawesville gets access to power at Midcontinent Independent System Operator ("MISO") pricing plus transmission and other costs. As the MISO Market Participant, Century Marketer purchases power from MISO for resale to Kenergy, which then resells the power to Hawesville. Century Marketer's power supply arrangement with Kenergy has an effective term through May 31, 2028, with automatic one-year extensions unless either party provides one-year notice of termination prior to the May 31 anniversary date. Similarly, Kenergy's power supply contract with Hawesville has a term through December 31, 2025, with automatic one-year extensions unless either party provides one-year notice of termination prior to the December 31 anniversary date. Sebree Sebree has a power supply arrangement with Kenergy and Century Marketer. Under this arrangement, Sebree gets access to power at Midcontinent Independent System Operator ("MISO") pricing plus transmission and other costs. As the MISO Market Participant, Century Marketer purchases power from MISO for resale to Kenergy, which then resells the power to Sebree. Century Marketer's power supply arrangement with Kenergy has an effective term through May 31, 2028, with automatic one-year extensions unless either party provides one-year notice of termination prior to the May 31 anniversary date. Similarly, Kenergy's power supply contract with Sebree has a term through December 31, 2025, with automatic one-year extensions unless either party provides one-year notice of termination prior to the December 31 anniversary date. Mt. Holly Century Aluminum of South Carolina ("CASC") has a power supply agreement with Santee Cooper that has an effective term through December 2026. Under this power supply agreement, 100% of Mt. Holly’s electrical power requirements are supplied from Santee Cooper’s generation at cost of service based rates. Grundartangi Grundartangi has power purchase agreements for approximately 545 MW of aggregate power with HS Orka hf ("HS"), Landsvirkjun and Orkuveita Reykjavikur ("OR"). These power purchase agreements expire on various dates from 2026 through 2036 (subject to extension). The power purchase agreements with each of HS and OR provide power at LME-based variable rates for the duration of these agreements. Under the terms of the Landsvirkjun agreement, Landsvirkjun will provide up to 182 MW over time to support the most recent capacity creep requirements and the new billet casthouse at Grundartangi. The Landsvirkjun agreement provides for fixed rates on most of the 182 MW, with a variable rate applicable to a smaller portion of the power through December 31, 2026. Grundartangi also has a separate 25 MW power purchase agreement with Landsvirkjun at LME-based variable rate. Other Commitments and Contingencies Labor Commitments The bargaining unit employees at our Grundartangi, Vlissingen, Hawesville, Sebree and Jamalco facilities are represented by labor unions, representing approximately 59% of our total workforce. Approximately 87% of Grundartangi’s work force is represented by five labor unions, governed by a labor agreement that establishes wages and work rules for covered employees. This agreement is effective through December 31, 2024. 100% of Vlissingen's work force is represented by the Federation for the Metal and Electrical Industry ("FME"), a Netherlands' employers' organization for companies in the metal, electronics, electrical engineering and plastic sectors. The FME negotiates working conditions with trade unions on behalf of its members, which, when agreed upon, are then applicable to all employees of Vlissingen. The current labor agreement is effective through December 31, 2025. Approximately 38% of our U.S. based work force is represented by USW through separately negotiated labor agreements for each facility. The labor agreement for Hawesville employees is effective through April 1, 2026. Upon announcement of the temporary curtailment, Hawesville and the USW local union entered into effects bargaining. An agreement was reached on July 19, 2022, covering the curtailment period. Century Sebree's labor agreement with the USW for its employees is effective through October 28, 2028. Mt. Holly employees are not represented by a labor union. Approximately 61% of Jamalco’s work force is represented by the Union of Technical, Administrative, and Supervisory Personnel ("UTASP") through separately negotiated labor agreements for hourly and salaried employee groups. Both contracts were effective through December 31, 2023. Jamalco is currently in the process of negotiating new contracts with both the salaried and hourly employee groups. Contingent obligations We have a contingent obligation in connection with the "unwind" of a contractual arrangement between CAKY, Big Rivers Electric Corporation ("Big Rivers") and a third party and the execution of a long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy, a member of a cooperative of Big Rivers, in July 2009. This contingent obligation consists of the aggregate payments made to Big Rivers by the third party on CAKY’s behalf in excess of the agreed upon base amount under the long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy. As of June 30, 2024, the principal and accrued interest for the contingent obligation was $31.6 million, which was fully offset by a derivative asset. We may be required to make installment payments for the contingent obligation in the future. These payments are contingent based on the LME price of primary aluminum and the level of Hawesville’s operations. As of June 30, 2024, the LME forward market prices do not exceed the threshold for payment. In addition, based on the current level of Hawesville's operations, including the temporary curtailment, we believe that we will not be required to make payments on the contingent obligation during the term of the agreement, which expires in 2028. There can be no assurance that circumstances will not change thus accelerating the timing of such payments.
