About Century Aluminum

Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ: CENX) is a producer of primary aluminum.

**Operations:**
- **United States:** smelting operations, including Mt. Holly, where curtailed production is being restarted and expanded.
- **Iceland:** the Grundartangi smelter, which is returning to full production after an October 2025 equipment failure.
- **Jamaica:** Century is the majority owner and managing partner of the Jamalco alumina refinery, which is recovering after Hurricane Melissa.

The company sells primary aluminum to related parties and other customers. Its results are highly sensitive to:
- aluminum prices and regional premiums
- power costs
- raw material inputs such as alumina, coke, pitch and aluminum fluoride
- U.S. trade policy, including Section 232 tariffs

Century has monetized its former Hawesville, Kentucky site through a sale to Raylan Data Holdings LLC. Raylan is building a data center there, and Century retains a minority interest. The company is also pursuing a new U.S. aluminum smelter project supported by up to $500 million of potential DOE funding and a possible joint venture with Emirates Global Aluminium. It also benefits from Inflation Reduction Act manufacturing credits. Updated
