CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

(in thousands, 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, 2012. 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 nine months of 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Throughout this Form 10-Q, and unless expressly stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, "Century Aluminum," "Century," "we," "us," "our" and "ours" refer to Century Aluminum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.


2.	Acquisition of Sebree aluminum smelter

On June 1, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Sebree LLC ("Century Sebree"), acquired the Sebree aluminum smelter ("Sebree") from a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Alcan, Inc ("RTA"). Sebree, located in Robards, Kentucky, has an annual hot metal production capacity of 205,000 metric tons of primary aluminum and employs approximately 500 people. The purchase price for the acquisition was $61,000 (subject to customary working capital adjustments), of which we have paid approximately $48,000 as of September 30, 2013. The remaining portion of the purchase price will be paid following final determination of the applicable working capital adjustments, which will be determined based on the amount of working capital transferred to Century Sebree at closing versus a target working capital amount of $71,000. As part of the transaction, RTA retained all historical environmental liabilities of the Sebree smelter and funded the pension plan assumed by Century Sebree in accordance with the purchase agreement.

Purchase Price Allocation

Allocating the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities involves management judgment. We allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and the bargain gain in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805 "Business Combinations." Once it has been determined that recognition of an asset or liability in a business combination is appropriate, we measure the asset or liability at fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." Fair value is 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.

The determination of the fair value of certain intangible assets and/or liabilities requires management judgment in each of the following areas:


•	Identifying the acquired intangible assets or liabilities. In the case of the Sebree acquisition, we assumed a power contract liability as the contracted power price was in excess of current market prices.

•

Estimating the fair value of the intangible assets and/or liabilities. We consider various approaches to value the acquired intangible assets and/or liabilities. These valuation approaches include the cost approach, which measures the value of an asset based on the cost to reproduce it or replace it with a like asset; the market approach, which values the asset through an analysis of sales and offerings of comparable assets; and the income approach, which measures the value of an asset (or liability) by measuring the present worth of the economic benefits (or costs) it is expected to produce.

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change based on the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $5,253. In connection with the recognition of the bargain purchase gain and related net deferred tax liabilities, we partially released a valuation allowance associated with recorded deferred tax assets of $2,090. The gain on bargain purchase reflects the London Metal Exchange (the "LME") market and the market risk associated with the power supply agreement for the facility at June 1, 2013. We revised our second quarter financial results for 2013 for certain measurement period adjustments, which are reflected in the year-to-date financial statements (and not in the financial statements for the quarter). The measurement period adjustments to date include adjustments to the valuation of the pension liability, asset retirement obligations, certain inventory balances and related tax effects. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:



	Acquisition Date Estimated Fair Value as of June 1, 2013		Measurement Period Adjustments			Acquisition Date Estimated Fair Value as of September 30, 2013
Consideration:
Cash (1)	$	47,373	$	710		$	48,083
Assets Acquired:
Inventories	58,496		522			59,018
Prepaid and other current assets	363		—			363
Property, plant and equipment – net	55,520		—			55,520
Total assets acquired	$	114,379	$	522		$	114,901
Liabilities Assumed:
Accrued and other current liabilities	$	44,121	$	(805	)	$	43,316
Accrued pension benefit costs	5,039		(4,043		)	996
Accrued post retirement benefit costs	6,544		—			6,544
Other liabilities	8,003		(527		)	7,476
Deferred taxes	1,257		1,976			3,233
Total liabilities assumed	$	64,964	$	(3,399	)	$	61,565
Gain on bargain purchase:	$	2,042	$	3,211		$	5,253


(1)	This amount represents our preliminary estimate of consideration based on our expectation of the working capital adjustments. The working capital adjustments have not yet been finalized.

Through September 30, 2013, the actual revenue and net loss of Sebree since the acquisition date of June 1, 2013 included in the consolidated statement of operations is as follows:



	Three months ended September 30, 2013			Nine months ended September 30, 2013
Sebree revenue	$	101,531		$	140,284
Sebree net loss	(1,800		)	(2,044		)

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects our results of continuing operations as if the acquisition of Sebree had been completed on January 1, 2012. This unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the transactions taken place on January 1, 2012, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined companies.

3.	Asset purchase

In June 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Vlissingen ("Century Vlissingen") purchased substantially all of the assets of the Zalco anode production facility located in Vlissingen, the Netherlands for approximately $12,500. In connection with the purchase, we entered into a ground lease with respect to the facility that is renewable at our option. Century Vlissingen did not assume, and is indemnified by the seller against, historical liabilities of the facility.

Following the acquisition, we have undertaken a significant capital investment to modernize the facility, comply with environmental regulations and optimize anode production for our smelter in Grundartangi. We expect the first 75,000 metric tons of capacity will be restarted in late 2013 and will provide an anode supply to replace third-party anode supply contracts that terminated in 2013.


4.	Fair value measurements

The following section describes the valuation methodology used to measure our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value and are categorized based on the fair value hierarchy described in ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements."



Overview of Century’s valuation methodology
	Level	Significant inputs
Cash equivalents	1	Quoted market prices
Trust assets (1)	1	Quoted market prices
Surety bonds	1	Quoted market prices
E.ON U.S. (“E.ON”) contingent obligation	3	Quoted LME forward market, management’s estimates of the LME forward market prices for periods beyond the quoted periods and management’s estimate of future level of operations at Century Aluminum of Kentucky, our wholly owned subsidiary (“CAKY”)
Primary aluminum sales premium contracts	3	Management’s estimates of future U.S. Midwest premium and risk-adjusted discount rates
Midwest premium contracts	3	Management’s estimates of future U.S. Midwest premium

(1)

Trust assets are currently invested in money market funds. These trust assets are held to fund the non-qualified supplemental executive pension benefit obligations for certain of our officers. The trust has sole authority to invest the funds in secure interest producing investments consisting of short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or cash and cash equivalents.

Fair value measurements

Our fair value measurements include the consideration of market risks that other market participants might consider in pricing the particular asset or liability, specifically non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk. Consideration of the non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk are used to establish the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates used in our fair value measurements.

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by the level of input within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. As required by GAAP for fair value measurements and disclosures, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the periods presented. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the periods presented below. It is our policy to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Based on the LME forward market prices for primary aluminum at September 30, 2013 and management's estimate of the LME forward market for periods beyond the quoted periods, we believe that we will not have any payment obligations for the E.ON contingent obligation through the term of the agreement which expires in 2028. See Note 10 Debt for additional information about the E.ON contingent obligation fair value.

Primary aluminum put option contracts

In the past, we have entered into primary aluminum put option contracts that settled monthly based on LME prices. The option contract volumes accounted for a portion of our domestic production, with a strike price around our domestic facilities’ average cash basis break-even price at the time.

Our counterparties included two non-related third parties and an affiliate of Glencore Xstrata plc (together with its subsidiaries, "Glencore"), a related party. We paid cash premiums to enter into the put option contracts and recorded an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. We determined the fair value of the put option contracts using a Black-Scholes model with market data provided by an independent vendor.

Aluminum sales premium contracts

The Glencore Metal Agreement is a physical delivery contract for primary aluminum through December 31, 2013 with variable, LME-based pricing. Under the Glencore Metal Agreement, pricing is based on market prices, adjusted by a negotiated U.S. Midwest premium with a cap and a floor as applied to the current U.S. Midwest premium. We account for the Glencore Metal Agreement as a derivative instrument under ASC 815. Gains and losses on the derivative are based on the difference between the contracted U.S. Midwest premium and actual and forecasted U.S. Midwest premiums. Settlements are recorded in related party sales. Unrealized gains (losses) based on forecasted U.S. Midwest premiums are recorded in net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts on the consolidated statements of operations.

Counterparty credit risk. Forward financial contracts are subject to counterparty credit risk. However, we only enter into forward financial contracts with counterparties we determine to be creditworthy at the time of entering into the contract. If any counterparty failed to perform according to the terms of the contract, the impact would be limited to the difference between the contract price and the market price applied to the contract volume on the date of settlement.

As of September 30, 2013, income of $153 is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next 12-month period for derivative instruments that have been designated and have qualified as cash flow hedging instruments and for the related hedged transactions.


6.	Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) amounts are calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table shows the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012:



	For the three months ended September 30,
	2013							2012
	Loss			Shares (000)	Per-Share			Loss			Shares (000)	Per-Share
Net loss	$	(9,507	)					$	(12,023	)
Amount allocated to common shareholders (1)	100		%					100		%
Basic EPS:
Loss allocable to common shareholders	(9,507		)	88,611	$	(0.11	)	(12,023		)	88,468	$	(0.14	)
Diluted EPS:
Loss applicable to common shareholders with assumed conversion	$	(9,507	)	88,611	$	(0.11	)	$	(12,023	)	88,468	$	(0.14	)


	For the nine months ended September 30,

(1)	We have not allocated net losses between common and preferred shareholders, as the holders of our preferred shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in the loss.

Impact of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on EPS

Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has similar characteristics of a “participating security” as described by the ASC 260-10-45. The holders of our convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of Century. Thus, in periods where we report net losses, we will not allocate the net losses to the convertible preferred stock for the computation of basic or diluted EPS.



Antidilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS:	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2013	2012	2013	2012

Stock options (1)	620,334	626,334	620,334	626,334
Service-based share awards (1)	573,628	406,070	522,032	382,462


(1)	In periods when we report a net loss, all share awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average stock outstanding because of their antidilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share.

We exclude shares of our common stock repurchased under a stock repurchase program from the calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of repurchase. See Note 7 Shareholders’ equity for additional information about this program.

Service-based share awards for which vesting is based upon continued service are not considered issued and outstanding shares of common stock until vested and issued. However, the service-based share awards are considered common stock equivalents and, therefore, the weighted average service-based share awards are included, using the treasury stock method, in common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share computations if they have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.


7.	Shareholders’ equity

Common Stock

Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 195,000,000 shares of our common stock.

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.

Stock Repurchase Program

In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $60,000 stock repurchase program. Under the program, we may repurchase up to $60,000 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 is determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock and other factors. The 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.

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

From August 11, 2011 through September 30, 2013, we repurchased 4,786,521 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $49,924. We had approximately $10,076 remaining under the repurchase program authorization as of September 30, 2013.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversions

All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are held by Glencore. 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. See Common and Preferred Stock Activity table below for additional information about preferred stock conversions during the period.



Common and Preferred Stock Activity:	Preferred stock		Common stock
	Series A convertible		Treasury	Outstanding
Beginning balance as of December 31, 2012	80,283		4,786,521	88,548,637
Conversion of convertible preferred stock	(549	)	—	54,825
Issuance for stock compensation plans	—		—	79,469
Ending balance as of September 30, 2013	79,734		4,786,521	88,682,931


8.	Income taxes

We recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $4,714 which primarily consisted of foreign and state income taxes, net of a release of a valuation allowance as disclosed in Note 2 Acquisition of Sebree aluminum smelter. Our domestic deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, are subject to a valuation allowance; therefore, the domestic losses were not benefited.

We recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $7,384 which primarily consisted of foreign and state income taxes.

Income tax expense is based on an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the year.

As of September 30, 2013, 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. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which, at September 30, 2013, is not more likely than not to be achieved.

In April 2013, we received notice from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation finalized their review of the US Federal examinations for the income tax years 2008, 2009, and 2010 and refund years of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 without exception to the conclusions reached by the IRS. This Joint Committee is a special nonpartisan Congressional committee involved with the analysis and drafting of federal tax legislation and, as part of its mandate, reviews all federal tax refund claims over a certain amount. As a result of this determination, we have reduced the reserve for the unrecognized tax benefits related to prior years by $14,341. The reduction did not result in an impact to the effective tax rate since the reduction was offset by an increase in our valuation allowance. During the second quarter of 2013, we received refunds from the IRS of $5,009 following the Joint Committee review.

During the second quarter of 2013, we received notice from the Directorate of Internal Revenue of Iceland of their intent to conduct a periodic review regarding certain of our Icelandic subsidiaries for the years 2010-2012.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.


10.	Debt



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Debt classified as current liabilities:
Hancock County industrial revenue bonds ("IRBs") due 2028, interest payable quarterly (variable interest rates (not to exceed 12%)) (1)	$	7,815	$	7,815
7.5% senior unsecured notes payable due August 15, 2014, interest payable semiannually	2,603		—
Debt classified as non-current liabilities:
7.5% senior secured notes payable due June 1, 2021, net of debt discount of $3,558, interest payable semiannually	246,442		—
8.0% senior secured notes payable due May 15, 2014, net of debt discount of $1,625, interest payable semiannually	—		247,979
7.5% senior unsecured notes payable due August 15, 2014, interest payable semiannually	—		2,603
E.ON contingent obligation, principal and accrued interest, contingently payable monthly, annual interest rate of 10.94% (2)	—		15,369
Revolving credit facility (3)	16,725		—
TOTAL	$	273,585	$	273,766


(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 IRB interest rate at September 30, 2013 was 0.27%.


(2)	E.ON contingent obligation principal and interest payments are payable based on CAKY’s operating level and the LME price for primary aluminum. See E.ON contingent obligation below and Note 4 Fair value measurements for additional information.


(3)	Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or a base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable interest margin. The applicable interest margin is determined based on the average daily availability for the immediately preceding quarter.

Amended Revolving Credit Facility

General. We and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (together with Century, the "Borrowers") and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as lender and agent, and Credit Suisse AG and BNP Paribas, as lenders, entered into the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), dated May 24, 2013, as amended, modifying the credit facility signed July 1, 2010. The Credit Facility extended the term through May 24, 2018 and provides for borrowings of up to $137,500 in the aggregate, including up to $80,000 under a letter of credit sub-facility. Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

(Unaudited)

Status of our Credit Facility:



	September 30, 2013
Credit Facility maximum amount	$	137,500
Borrowing availability, net of outstanding letters of credit	44,255
Outstanding borrowings	16,725
Letter of credit sub-facility amount	80,000
Outstanding letters of credit issued	70,545

Borrowing Base. The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is limited by a specified borrowing base consisting of accounts receivable and inventory of the Borrowers which meet the eligibility criteria.

Guaranty. The Borrowers' obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by a continuing lien upon and a security interest in all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable, inventory and certain bank accounts. Each Borrower is liable for any and all obligations under the Credit Facility on a joint and several basis.

Interest Rates and Fees. Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or a base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable interest margin. The applicable interest margin is determined based on the average daily availability for the immediately preceding quarter. In addition, we pay an unused line fee on undrawn amounts, less the amount of our letters of credit exposure.

For standby letters of credit, we are required to pay a fee on the face amount of such letters of credit that varies depending on whether the letter of credit exposure is cash collateralized.

Maturity. The Credit Facility will mature on May 24, 2018.

Prepayments. We can make prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to standard LIBOR breakage costs, if applicable. We may be required to apply the proceeds from sales of collateral accounts, other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and correspondingly reduce the commitments there under.

Covenants. The 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.

Events of Default. The Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenant, bankruptcy, change of ownership, certain judgments and certain cross defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, commitments under the Credit Facility may be terminated and amounts outstanding may be accelerated and declared immediately due and payable.

8% Notes Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation and Redemption

In May 2013, we commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation (the “8.0% Notes Tender Offer”) to the holders of the outstanding 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “8.0% Notes”). Investors electing to participate in the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer consented to certain amendments and modifications to the indenture governing the 8.0% Notes to remove, among other things, most of the restrictive covenants, in exchange for which we paid these investors consent fees.

We received tenders and consents from holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 8.0% Notes. The remaining 8.0% Notes outstanding that had not participated in the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer were redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Redemption”). Together the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer and Redemption satisfied and discharged our obligations under the 8.0% Notes and the related indenture. We

used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “7.5% Notes”) and available cash on hand to fund the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer and the Redemption.

In accordance with ASC 470, based on an evaluation of the characteristics of the 8.0% Notes and the 7.5% Notes that were issued, we determined the tender and redemption of the 8.0% Notes should be treated as an extinguishment of the debt and accordingly, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2013. The loss on early extinguishment of debt consisted of the write-off of deferred financing costs and the debt discount associated with the 8.0% Notes, as well as the tender premium paid as part of the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer.

7.5% Notes

General. On June 4, 2013, we issued $250,000 of our 7.5% Notes in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 7.5% Notes were issued at a discount and we received proceeds of $246,330, prior to payment of financing fees and related expenses.

Interest rate. The 7.5% Notes bear interest at 7.5% per annum on the principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 1st and December 1st of each year.

Maturity. The 7.5% Notes mature on June 1, 2021.

Seniority. The 7.5% 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 the collateral.

Guaranty. Our obligations under the 7.5% Notes are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for foreign owned holding companies and any domestic restricted subsidiary that owns no assets other than equity interests or other investments in foreign subsidiaries, which guaranty shall in each case be a senior secured obligation of such Guarantor Subsidiaries, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiaries but effectively senior to unsecured debt.

Collateral. Our obligations under the 7.5% Notes and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' obligations under the guarantees are secured by a pledge of and lien on (subject to certain exceptions):


(i)	all of our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries' property, plant and equipment (other than certain excluded property, such as the assets of Berkeley Aluminum, Inc., the owner of our interest in our Mt. Holly facility);


(i)	all equity interests in domestic subsidiaries directly owned by us and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and 65% of equity interests in foreign subsidiaries or foreign holding companies directly owned by us and the Guarantor Subsidiaries;


(ii)	intercompany notes owed by any non-guarantor to us or any Guarantor Subsidiary to us; and


(iii)	proceeds of the foregoing.

Under certain circumstances, we may incur additional debt that also may be secured by liens on the collateral that are equal to or have priority over the liens securing the 7.5% Notes.

Redemption Rights. Prior to June 1, 2016, we may redeem the 7.5% Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium, and if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below, at the following redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:



Year	Percentage
2016	105.625%
2017	103.750%
2018	101.875%
2019 and thereafter	100.000%

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 7.5% Notes), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the 7.5% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 7.5% Notes on the date of the purchase, plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

Covenants. The indenture governing the 7.5% Notes contains customary covenants which may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create 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.

E.ON contingent obligation

The E.ON contingent obligation consists of the aggregate E.ON payments made to Big Rivers Electric Corporation ("Big Rivers") on CAKY’s behalf in excess of the agreed upon base amount under an agreement to "unwind" a former contractual arrangement and enter into an agreement to provide power for Hawesville's production requirements with pricing based on the provider's cost of production (the "Big Rivers Agreement"). Our obligation to make repayments is contingent upon certain operating criteria for our Hawesville, Kentucky facility and the LME price of primary aluminum. When the conditions for repayment are met, and for so long as those conditions continue to be met, we will be obligated to make principal and interest payments, in up to 72 monthly payments.

Based on the LME forward market prices for primary aluminum at September 30, 2013 and management's estimate of the LME forward market for periods beyond the quoted periods, we recognized a derivative asset which offsets our contingent obligation. As a result, our net liability decreased and we recorded a gain of $16,428 in net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Based on the LME forward market prices for primary aluminum at September 30, 2013 and management's estimate of the LME forward market for periods beyond the quoted periods, we believe that we will not have any payment obligations for the E.ON contingent obligation through the term of the agreement, which expires in 2028. However, future increases in the LME forward market may result in a partial or full derecognition of the derivative asset and a corresponding recognition of a loss. The following table provides information about the balance sheet location and gross amounts offset:

11.	Commitments and contingencies

Environmental Contingencies

Based upon all available information, we believe our current environmental liabilities do not have, and are not likely to have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Because of the issues and uncertainties described below and the inability to predict the requirements of future environmental laws, there can be no assurance that future capital expenditures and costs for environmental compliance at currently or formerly owned or operated properties will not result in liabilities which may have a material adverse effect.

It is our policy to accrue for costs associated with environmental assessments and remedial efforts when it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The aggregate environmental-related accrued liabilities were $1,322 and $906 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. All accrued amounts have been recorded without giving effect to any possible future recoveries. With respect to costs for ongoing environmental compliance, including maintenance and monitoring, such costs are expensed as incurred.

Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") continues to perform monitoring activities at our Ravenswood, West Virginia facility pursuant to an order issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") in 1994 (the “3008(h) Order”). CAWV also conducted a RCRA facility investigation (“RFI”) under the 3008(h) Order evaluating other areas at Ravenswood that may have contamination requiring remediation. The RFI has been approved by appropriate agencies. CAWV has completed interim remediation measures at two sites identified in the RFI, and we believe no further remediation will be required. A Corrective Measures Study, which formally documents the conclusion of these activities, has been submitted to the EPA and a final order has been completed and was signed by the EPA in April 2013. Under the order, CAWV's responsibilities going forward include monitoring specific wells as well as restricting access to certain parts of the site.

Prior to our purchase of Hawesville, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision (“ROD”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”). By agreement, Southwire Company (“Southwire”), the former owner and operator, is to perform all obligations under the ROD. CAKY has agreed to operate and maintain the ground water treatment system required under the ROD on behalf of Southwire, and Southwire will reimburse CAKY for any expense that exceeds $400 annually.

In July 2006, we were named as a defendant, together with certain affiliates of Alcan Inc., in a lawsuit brought by Alcoa Inc. seeking to determine responsibility for certain environmental indemnity obligations related to the sale of a cast aluminum plate manufacturing facility located in Vernon, California, which we purchased from Alcoa Inc. in December 1998, and sold to Alcan Rolled Products-Ravenswood LLC in July 1999. The complaint also seeks costs and attorney fees. The matter is in a preliminary stage, and we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this action or estimate a range of possible losses related to this matter at this time. We do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this action will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, regardless of the final outcome.

Matters relating to the St. Croix Alumina Refining Facility

We are a party to an EPA Administrative Order on Consent (the “Order”) pursuant to which other past and present owners of an alumina refining facility at St. Croix, Virgin Islands (the “St. Croix Alumina Refinery”) have agreed to carry out a Hydrocarbon Recovery Plan to remove and manage hydrocarbons floating on groundwater underlying the facility. Pursuant to the Hydrocarbon Recovery Plan, recovered hydrocarbons and groundwater are delivered to the adjacent petroleum refinery where they are received and managed. In connection with the sale of the facility by Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed”) to one of our affiliates, Virgin Islands Alumina Corporation (“Vialco”), in 1989, Lockheed, Vialco and Century entered into the Lockheed-Vialco Asset Purchase Agreement. The indemnity provisions contained in the Lockheed-Vialco Asset Purchase Agreement allocate responsibility for certain environmental matters. Lockheed has tendered indemnity and defense of the above matter to Vialco. We have likewise tendered indemnity to Lockheed. Through September 30, 2013, we have expended approximately $985 on the Hydrocarbon Recovery Plan. At this time, we are not able to estimate the amount of any future potential payments under this indemnification to comply with the Order, but we do not anticipate that any such

amounts will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, regardless of the final outcome.

In May 2005, we and Vialco were among several defendants listed in a lawsuit filed by the Commissioner of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (“DPNR”), in his capacity as Trustee for Natural Resources of the United States Virgin Islands. The complaint alleges damages to natural resources caused by alleged releases from the St. Croix Alumina Refinery and the adjacent petroleum refinery. The primary cause of action is pursuant to the natural resource damage provisions of CERCLA, but various ancillary Territorial law causes of action were included as well. We and Lockheed have each tendered indemnity and defense of the case to the other pursuant to the terms of the Lockheed-Vialco Asset Purchase Agreement. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorney fees. In November 2011, the court granted a motion by Century, dismissing Century from the case. Vialco, however, remains a defendant in this case and has asserted factual and affirmative defenses. The discovery process has closed. As of September 30, 2013, no trial date has been set for the remaining claims.

In December 2006, Vialco and the succeeding owners of the St. Croix Alumina Refinery were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by the Commissioner of the DPNR. The complaint alleges the defendants failed to take certain actions specified in a Coastal Zone management permit issued to Vialco in October 1994, and alleges violations of territorial water pollution control laws during the various defendants’ periods of ownership. The complaint seeks statutory and other unspecified monetary penalties for the alleged violations. The parties are currently engaged in the discovery process.

In May 2009, St. Croix Renaissance Group, L.L.L.P. (“SCRG”) filed a third-party complaint for contribution and other relief against several third-party defendants, including Century and Vialco, relating to a lawsuit filed against SCRG seeking recovery of response costs relating to the aforementioned DPNR CERCLA matter. In February 2011, the court granted a motion by Century, dismissing Century from the case. In March 2011, the court granted the remaining defendants’, including Vialco’s, motion for summary judgment, dismissing the case. The plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in May 2011. On June 5, 2013, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's ruling to hold that plaintiff's expenditures of funds may be found as recoverable response costs incurred by the government entitling plaintiffs to recover future response costs. Vialco remains the only Century entity in the litigation.

In December 2010, Century was among several defendants listed in a lawsuit filed by plaintiffs who either worked, resided or owned property in the area downwind from the St. Croix Alumina Refinery. In March 2011, Century was also named a defendant in a nearly identical suit brought by certain additional plaintiffs previously named in the aforementioned suit. The plaintiffs in both suits allege damages caused by the presence of red mud and other particulates coming from the alumina facility and are seeking unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorney fees as well as certain injunctive relief. We have tendered indemnity and defense to St. Croix Alumina LLC and Alcoa Alumina & Chemical LLC under the terms of an acquisition agreement relating to the facility and have filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims, but the court has not yet ruled on the motion. At this time, it is not practicable to predict the ultimate outcome of or to estimate a range of possible losses relating to any of the foregoing actions relating to the St. Croix Alumina Refinery.

Legal Contingencies

In addition to the foregoing matters, we have pending against us or may be subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related primarily to employment, commercial, environmental, shareholder, safety and health matters.

In evaluating whether to accrue for losses associated with legal 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.

We also determine estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of reasonably possible losses in excess of related accrued liabilities, if any, when we have assessed that a loss is reasonably possible. Based on current knowledge, management has ascertained estimates for losses that are reasonably possible and management does not believe that any reasonably possible

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

outcomes in excess of our accruals, if any, either individually or in aggregate, would be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. We reevaluate and update our assessments and accruals as matters progress over time.

We have been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by our former Chief Executive Officer, Logan Kruger, alleging breach of contract. The lawsuit alleges that Century anticipatorily breached the employment and severance protection agreements between Century and Mr. Kruger and that Century is obligated to make various severance payments in excess of $20,000 to Mr. Kruger under such agreements. In addition, the complaint seeks unspecified damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. The trial court has transferred the matter to an arbitration panel for resolution. We believe these claims are without merit and intend to defend ourselves against them. The arbitration hearing was held in the third quarter of 2013, and we currently expect a ruling in the arbitration in late 2013 or in the first quarter of 2014.

In April 2013, our subsidiary Nordural Grundartangi received a ruling in an arbitration case involving two of its power suppliers, HS Orka and Orkuveita Reykjavikur. Under the arbitration award, Nordural Grundartangi is restricted from reducing power under its existing power contracts with HS Orka and Orkuveita Reykjavikur in order to take power under a separate power contract with Orkuveita Reykjavikur originally intended to be used at Helguvik. Nordural Grundartangi remains entitled to take power under the Orkuveita Reykjavikur Helguvik contract to the extent that its power needs exceed the amount of power provided under its existing power contracts. As part of the award, the tribunal awarded HS Orka damages and Nordural Grundartangi paid $1,470 to HS Orka in full satisfaction of such award. The tribunal ordered each party to pay its own legal fees and costs. While no damages were awarded to Orkuveita Reykjavikur as part of the arbitration, Orkuveita Reykjavikur has subsequently alleged damages against Nordural Grundartangi. We intend to defend ourselves against these claims. The matter is in a preliminary stage, and we cannot estimate a range of possible losses related to this matter at this time. Regardless of the final outcome, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this action will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Ravenswood Retiree Medical Benefits changes

In November 2009, 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 (“USWA”), the USWA’s local union, and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives, seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USWA 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. These actions, entitled Dewhurst, et al. v. Century Aluminum Co., et al., and Century Aluminum of West Virginia, Inc. v. United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC, et al., have been consolidated and venue has been set in the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.

In January 2010, the USWA filed a motion for preliminary injunction to prevent us from implementing the foregoing changes while these lawsuits are pending, which was dismissed by the trial court. In August 2011, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the District Court’s dismissal of the USWA’s motion for preliminary injunction. The discovery process is closed.

PBGC Settlement

In June 2011, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) informed us that it believed a “cessation of operations” under ERISA had occurred at our Ravenswood facility as a result of the curtailment of operations at the facility. Although we disagree that a “cessation of operations” occurred, we entered into a settlement agreement with the PBGC in April 2013 to resolve the matter. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we will make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $17,400 over the term of the agreement, which runs through 2016. In April 2013, we made the first scheduled contribution pursuant to this agreement of $5,900. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our operations, we may defer one or more of these payments, but we would be required to provide the PBGC with acceptable security for any deferred payments.

Power Commitments

Hawesville

In August 2012, CAKY issued a 12-month notice to terminate its long-term power supply agreement (the “Hawesville Power Agreement”) with Kenergy, a member cooperative of Big Rivers. Pursuant to the termination notice, the Hawesville Power Agreement terminated on August 20, 2013.

The Kentucky Public Service Commission (“KPSC”) approved a new power supply agreement with Kenergy and Big Rivers for providing market priced power to the Hawesville smelter, effective August 20, 2013. Under the arrangement, the power companies purchase power on the open market and pass it through to Hawesville at the market price plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. In connection with the new power agreements, CAKY is also seeking approval from applicable regional transmission organizations and regulatory bodies regarding grid stability and energy import capability. A group of industrial customers in Kentucky subsequently filed an appeal to the KPSC order approving the new power supply arrangement at Hawesville, which appeal is currently pending. We believe this appeal is without merit and that the points argued in the appeal were already rejected by the KPSC prior to the issuance of its order approving the new power supply arrangement at Hawesville.

Sebree

In January 2013, Sebree issued a 12-month notice to terminate its long-term power supply agreement (the “Sebree Power Agreement”) with Kenergy. The Sebree Power Agreement is take-or-pay for Sebree’s energy requirements at full production. During the 12-month notice period, Century is required to pay a demand charge for power, but is not obligated to continue operating the plant. The Sebree Power Agreement currently provides sufficient power at cost-based rates for Sebree’s full production capacity requirements, but, pursuant to the termination notice, the Sebree Power Agreement will terminate on January 31, 2014. We are seeking a market-based power contract for Sebree similar to the agreement we have reached for Hawesville, but no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain one. If a new power arrangement is not reached and approved prior to January 31, 2014, the Sebree plant will be curtailed.

Mt. Holly

Mt. Holly has a power purchase agreement (the “Santee Cooper Agreement”) with the South Carolina Public Service Authority (“Santee Cooper”) with a term through December 2015. The Santee Cooper Agreement provides adequate power for Mt. Holly’s full production capacity requirements at prices based on published rate schedules (which are subject to change), with adjustments for fuel prices and other items. The Santee Cooper Agreement restricts Mt. Holly’s ability to reduce its power consumption (or the associated payment obligations) below contracted levels and to terminate the agreement, unless, in each case, the LME falls below certain negotiated levels.

In 2012, Mt. Holly and Santee Cooper amended the terms of the Santee Cooper agreement in order to allow Mt. Holly to receive all or a portion of Mt. Holly's supplemental power requirements from an off-system natural gas-fired power generation facility (the “off-system facility”). The energy charge for supplemental power from the off-system facility is based, among other factors, on the cost of natural gas rather than Santee Cooper's system average fuel costs, which are primarily coal-based. The amendments to the power agreement may provide a benefit to Mt. Holly provided that natural gas costs remain below Santee Cooper's system average fuel costs. The amended power agreement provides that Mt. Holly may continue to receive its supplemental power requirements from the off-system facility through December 31, 2015. We are currently in discussions with Santee Cooper regarding power arrangements for Mt. Holly following December 31, 2015.

Ravenswood

CAWV has a power purchase agreement (the “ApCo Agreement”) with the Appalachian Power Company (“ApCo”). CAWV currently purchases a limited amount of power under the ApCo Agreement as necessary to maintain its Ravenswood smelter, which is presently curtailed. Power is supplied under the ApCo Agreement at prices set forth in published tariffs (which are subject to change), with certain adjustments.

Grundartangi

Nordural Grundartangi ehf has power purchase agreements with HS Orka hf (“HS”), Landsvirkjun and Orkuveita Reykjavikur (“OR”) to provide power to its Grundartangi smelter. These power purchase agreements, which will expire on various dates from 2019 through 2036, provide power at LME-based variable rates. Each power purchase agreement contains take-or-pay obligations with respect to a significant percentage of the total committed and available power under such agreement.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, an additional 47.5 MW of power became available under a power purchase agreement with OR. This power can be used at either Grundartangi or Helguvik and a significant portion is currently being utilized at Grundartangi.

In June 2012, Nordural Grundartangi entered into a new supplemental power contract with Landsvirkjun. The supplemental power contract, which will expire in October 2029 (or upon the occurrence of certain earlier events), will provide Nordural Grundartangi with supplemental power, as Nordural Grundartangi may request from time to time, at LME-based variable rates. Nordural Grundartangi has agreed to make certain prepayments to Landsvirkjun for power expected to be used at a later date in connection with the contract, which will reduce the price paid for power at the time of consumption. As of September 30, 2013, these power prepayments totaled approximately $2,000. We expect the amount of the prepayment to continue to grow slowly and we do not expect to realize the benefits from the prepayments in the near term.

Helguvik

Nordural Helguvik ehf has power purchase agreements with HS and OR to provide power to the Helguvik project. These power purchase agreements provide power at LME-based variable rates and contain take-or-pay obligations with respect to a significant percentage of the total committed and available power under such agreements. The first stage of power under the OR power purchase agreement (approximately 47.5 MW) became available in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a significant portion of that power is currently being utilized at Grundartangi. No other power is currently available under either power purchase agreement. HS (with respect to all phases) and OR (with respect to all phases other than the first phase) have alleged that certain conditions to the delivery of power under the power purchase agreements have not been satisfied. Nordural Helguvik is in discussion with both HS and OR with respect to such conditions and other matters pertaining to these agreements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Labor Commitments

Approximately 75% of our U.S. based work force is represented by the USWA. CAKY’s Hawesville employees represented by the USWA are under a collective bargaining agreement which expires on March 31, 2015. The Sebree employees represented by the USWA are under a collective bargaining agreement that expires on September 30, 2014.

In April 2010, Nordural Grundartangi ehf entered into a new labor agreement with the five labor unions representing approximately 84% of Grundartangi’s work force. The labor agreement expires on December 31, 2014.

The labor agreement for CAWV’s Ravenswood plant employees represented by the USWA expired on August 31, 2010.

Other Commitments

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the related Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Health Care Acts”) were enacted in March 2010. The Health Care Acts extend health care coverage to many uninsured individuals and expand coverage to those already insured. The Health Care Acts contain provisions which could impact our retiree medical benefits in future periods. However, the extent of that impact, if any, cannot be determined until regulations are promulgated under the Health Care Acts and additional interpretations of the Health Care Acts become available. We are continuing to assess the potential impacts that this legislation may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and financial position related to our health care benefits and other postretirement benefit obligations. Among other things, the Health Care Acts

eliminated the tax deductibility of the Medicare Part D subsidy for companies that provide qualifying prescription drug coverage to retirees effective for years beginning after December 31, 2012.


12.	Forward delivery contracts and financial instruments

As a producer of primary aluminum, we are exposed to fluctuating raw material and primary aluminum prices. From time to time we enter into fixed and market priced contracts for the sale of primary aluminum and the purchase of raw materials in future periods.

Forward Physical Delivery Agreements

Primary Aluminum Sales Contracts



Contract	Customer	Volume	Term	Pricing
Glencore Metal Agreement (1)	Glencore	20,400 metric tons per year ("mtpy")	Through December 31, 2013	Variable, based on U.S. Midwest market
Glencore Sweep Agreement (2)	Glencore	Surplus primary aluminum produced in the United States	Through December 31, 2013	Variable, based on U.S. Midwest market
Glencore Nordural Metal Agreement	Glencore	Approximately 19,000 metric tons	Through December 31, 2013	Variable, based on LME

RTA Metal Agreement	Rio Tinto Alcan	Approximately 111,000 metric tons	Through December 31, 2013	Variable, based on U.S. Midwest market


(1)	We account for the Glencore Metal Agreement as a derivative instrument under ASC 815. Under the Glencore Metal Agreement, pricing is based on then-current Midwest market prices, adjusted by a negotiated U.S. Midwest premium with a cap and a floor as applied to the current U.S. Midwest premium.


(2)	The Glencore Sweep Agreement is for all metal produced in the U.S. in 2013, less existing sales agreements and high-purity metal sales. The term of the contract may be extended for one year upon mutual agreement.


(3)	The Southwire Metal Agreement contains termination rights in the event of a partial or full curtailment of the Hawesville facility. Despite reaching power agreements, certain regulatory approvals have not yet been received and CAKY could curtail all smelter operations if these approvals are not ultimately received.

Tolling Contracts



Contract	Customer	Volume	Term	Pricing
Billiton Tolling Agreement (1)	BHP Billiton	130,000 mtpy	Through December 31, 2013	LME-based
Glencore Toll Agreement (1)	Glencore	90,000 mtpy	Through July 31, 2016	LME-based
Glencore Toll Agreement (1)	Glencore	40,000 mtpy	Through December 31, 2014	LME-based

18.	Subsequent events

We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Conditional WARN Notice issued to Sebree

On November 1, 2013, Century Sebree issued a conditional notice to employees at the Sebree smelter of its intent to curtail all plant operations on January 31, 2014 if Century Sebree cannot secure a competitively priced power contract. Century Sebree is continuing to work with its power provider and regulatory agencies to obtain access to market-priced power prior to the termination of its current power contract on January 31, 2014. The conditional notice was made pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN"). The WARN notice specifies that the plant will be curtailed unless Century Sebree can gain access to competitively priced power.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may make forward-looking statements in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, press releases, news articles, earnings presentations and when we are speaking on behalf of the Company. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not strictly relate to historical or current facts. Often, they include the words “believe,” “expect,” “target,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “potential,” “project,” "scheduled," "forecast" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” or “may.”

Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in our other SEC reports, for example, include statements about the following subjects, among other things:


•	Our business objectives, strategies and initiatives, the growth of our business (including with respect to production and production capacity) and our competitive position and prospects;


•	Our assessment of significant economic, financial, political and other factors and developments that may affect our results, including currency risks;


•	Our assessment of the aluminum market, aluminum prices, aluminum financing, inventories and warehousing arrangements and other similar matters;


•	Aluminum prices and their effect on our financial position and results of operations;


•	Future construction investment and development of our facility in Helguvik, Iceland and with respect to the Century Vlissingen project and our expansion project at Grundartangi, including our discussions regarding securing sufficient amounts of power, future capital expenditures, the costs of completion or cancellation, production capacity and sources of funding;


•	Our hedging and other strategies to mitigate risk and their potential effects;

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Recent Developments

Conditional WARN Notice issued to Sebree

On November 1, 2013, Century Sebree issued a conditional notice to employees at the Sebree smelter of its intent to curtail all plant operations on January 31, 2014 if Century Sebree cannot secure a competitively priced power contract. Century Sebree is continuing to work with its power provider and regulatory agencies to obtain access to market-priced power prior to the termination of its current power contract on January 31, 2014. The conditional notice was made pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The WARN notice specifies that the plant will be curtailed unless Century Sebree can gain access to competitively priced power.

CAKY enters an agreement for market priced power for Hawesville

Effective August 20, 2013, CAKY began purchasing power for the Hawesville smelter under new agreements with Big Rivers and Kenergy Corp. Under the new arrangement, the power companies will purchase power on the open market and resell it to Hawesville at the market price plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. CAKY is also seeking approval from applicable regional transmission organizations and regulatory bodies regarding grid stability and energy import capability. The definitive contracts with Big Rivers and Kenergy were approved by the KPSC on August 14, 2013. On September 11, 2013, a group of industrial customers in Kentucky filed a complaint appealing the KPSC’s order. We believe this appeal is without merit and that the points argued in the appeal were already rejected by the KPSC prior to the issuance of its order approving the new power supply arrangement at Hawesville. See Part II Item 1A - Risk Factors for a discussion of risks related to the Hawesville power agreement.

Withholding tax refund received

On November 1, 2013, we received a refund of approximately $21.7 million for withholding taxes we paid Iceland in the third quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013 related to intercompany dividend payments.

Century acquires the Sebree aluminum smelter

On June 1, 2013, Century Sebree acquired the Sebree aluminum smelter from a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Alcan, Inc ("RTA"). Sebree, located in Robards, Kentucky has an annual hot metal production capacity of 205,000 metric tons of primary aluminum and employs approximately 500 people.

The purchase price for the acquisition was $61 million (subject to customary working capital adjustments), of which we have paid approximately $48 million as of September 30, 2013. The remaining portion of the purchase price will be paid following final determination of the applicable working capital adjustments, which will be determined based on the amount of working capital transferred to Century Sebree at closing versus a target working capital amount of $71 million. As part of the transaction, RTA retained all historical environmental liabilities of the Sebree smelter and has funded the pension plan assumed by Century at Sebree in accordance with the purchase agreement. See Part II Item 1A - Risk Factors for a discussion of risks related to the Sebree acquisition.

Revolving Credit Facility Amended

We and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as lender and agent, and Credit Suisse AG and BNP Paribas, as lenders, entered into the Credit Facility, dated May 24, 2013, as amended, modifying the credit facility signed July 1, 2010. The Credit Facility extended the term through May 24, 2018 and provides for borrowings of up to $137.5 million in the aggregate, including up to $80 million under a letter of credit sub-facility. Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Century issues $250 million of 7.5% senior secured notes

On June 4, 2013, we issued $250 million 7.5% Notes. The notes have an interest rate of 7.5% per annum and were issued at a price equal to 98.532% of their face value. Century used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes and available cash on hand for the tender offer and redemption of our outstanding 8% Notes. See Note 10 Debt for additional information about the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer and Redemption.

Tender offer and redemption of 8.0% senior secured notes due 2014

On May 20, 2013, we commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of our 8.0% Notes. We received tenders and consents from holders of a majority of the principal amount of the 8.0% Notes in the tender offer.

On June 4, 2013, we elected to redeem the remaining outstanding 8.0% Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest and transferred the necessary funds to our trustee to complete the redemption. See Note 10 Debt for additional information about the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer and Redemption.

Regulatory Approvals and Conditional WARN Notice at Hawesville

In connection with the new power agreements with Big Rivers, CAKY is seeking approval from applicable regional transmission organizations and regulatory bodies regarding grid stability and energy import capability. CAKY could curtail all smelter operations if these approvals are not ultimately received. In addition, CAKY has kept in place a conditional notice to the employees at the Hawesville smelter of its intent to curtail all plant operations if the remaining approvals are not received. The conditional notice was made on April 16, 2013 pursuant to a WARN notice and has been extended through December 20, 2013.

Century Aluminum of West Virginia reaches agreement with PBGC for future pension contributions

In April 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the PBGC regarding an alleged “cessation of operations” at our Ravenswood facility as a result of the curtailment of operations at the facility. While we do not believe that a “cessation of operations” has occurred, we have reached an agreement with the PBGC to resolve the matter. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we will make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $17.4 million over the term of the agreement, which runs through 2016. In April 2013, we made the first scheduled contribution pursuant to this agreement of $5.9 million. Under certain circumstances, in periods of low primary aluminum prices relative to our operations, we may defer one or more of these payments, but we would be required to provide the PBGC with acceptable security for any deferred payments.

Century signs lease for Chicago corporate headquarters

In February 2013, we signed a 10-year operating lease for office space for our corporate headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. We have completed our relocation to Chicago, but we expect to continue to incur relocation expenses through the end of the year.

Results of Operations

The following discussion reflects our historical results of operations.

Century’s financial highlights include:

Net sales (in millions)	2013		2012		$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	399.9	$	304.6	$	95.3	31.3	%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	1,053.1	$	954.4	$	98.7	10.3	%

Lower price realizations for our primary aluminum shipments in the three months ended September 30, 2013 were due to lower LME prices for primary aluminum, which were partially offset by increased premiums. The lower price realizations resulted in a $7.6 million decrease in net sales. Higher shipment volumes had a $102.9 million positive impact on net sales. Direct shipments from our four operating smelters increased 44,373 metric tons in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of the Sebree smelter on June 1, 2013. Toll shipments increased 4,993 metric tons relative to the same period last year.

Lower price realizations for our primary aluminum shipments in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were due to lower LME prices for primary aluminum, which were partially offset by increased premiums. The lower price realizations resulted in a $38.7 million net sales decrease. Higher shipment volumes had a $137.4 million positive impact on net sales. Direct shipments from our four operating smelters increased 56,211 metric tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of the Sebree smelter on June 1, 2013. Toll shipments increased 7,406 metric tons relative to the same period last year.



Gross profit (in millions)	2013		2012		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	12.4	$	3.3	$	9.1		275.8	%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	24.2	$	29.8	$	(5.6	)	(18.8	)%

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, lower price realizations, net of LME-based alumina cost and LME-based power cost, decreased gross profit by $2.7 million, with mix and volume factors decreasing gross profit by $12.4 million. In addition, we experienced $14.9 million in net cost decreases at our historically owned smelters, relative to the same period in 2012, comprised of: lower costs for materials, supplies and maintenance, $8.7 million; lower costs for power and natural gas costs at our U.S. smelters, $5.6 million; other cost decreases, $2.2 million; and increased depreciation, $1.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, lower price realizations, net of LME-based alumina cost and LME-based power cost, decreased gross profit by $17.1 million, with mix and volume factors decreasing gross profit by $6.3 million. In addition, we experienced $33.4 million in net cost decreases at our historically owned smelters, relative to the same period in 2012, comprised of: lower costs for materials, supplies and maintenance, $29.2 million; lower power and natural gas costs at our U.S. smelters, $7.2 million; offset by other cost increases, $0.7 million; and increased depreciation, $2.3 million.

As part of the valuation for the purchase of the Sebree facility, we recorded a $36.6 million estimated liability, subject to adjustment, for the power contract we assumed. The estimated liability was based on the difference between the forecasted contract rate and market power rates through the contract termination date in January 2014. This liability will be amortized over the period from June 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014 resulting in a credit to our depreciation and amortization expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the credit for the amortization of the power contract was $11.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, the market value of our inventory was below its cost basis, resulting in the recording of a lower of cost or market ("LCM") inventory reserve of $10.3 million, which was $5.8 million lower than the reserve recorded at June 30, 2013. This resulted in a credit to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $5.8 million. As of September 30, 2012, the market value of our inventory exceeded its cost basis, resulting in the elimination of a LCM reserve, with a corresponding credit to cost of goods sold of $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This resulted in a quarter to quarter decrease in gross profit of $2.4 million.

As of September 30, 2013, the market value of our inventory was below its cost basis, resulting in the recording of a LCM reserve and a charge to cost of goods sold of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the market value of our inventory exceeded its cost basis, resulting in the elimination of a LCM reserve and a corresponding credit to cost of goods sold of $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This resulted in a period to period decrease in gross profit of $30.1 million.



Other operating expenses – net (in millions)	2013		2012		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	2.2	$	7.4	$	(5.2	)	(70.3	)%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	6.3	$	14.9	$	(8.6	)	(57.7	)%

Other operating expenses – net is primarily related to items associated with Ravenswood. Charges at the facility have been relatively stable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, except during the third quarter of 2012, when we accrued for a legal liability that was ultimately settled in the second quarter of 2013 for an amount lower than the original accrual.



Selling, general and administrative expenses (in millions)	2013		2012		$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	14.4	$	9.2	$	5.2	56.5	%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	45.9	$	24.8	$	21.1	85.1	%

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, relocation and severance expenses related to moving our headquarters to Chicago increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $1.8 million; litigation matters and accruals for our variable compensation program increased approximately $1.1 million. In addition, we have incurred $1.9 million in general and administrative expenses related to the integration of the Century Vlissingen anode facility into our business. We also incurred approximately $0.4 million in additional selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the newly acquired Sebree facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, relocation and severance expenses related to moving our headquarters to Chicago increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $6.1 million; litigation matters, accruals for our variable compensation program and other general expenses increased approximately $6.9 million. We also incurred approximately $0.7 million in additional selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the newly acquired Sebree facility. In addition, a $7.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses in 2013 related to the integration of the Century Vlissingen anode facility into our business. Upon the restart of Century Vlissingen operations, these costs will be included in cost of goods sold and not recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.



Net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts (in millions)	2013		2012			$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	0.4	$	(0.3	)	$	0.7	(233.3	)%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	16.2	$	(4.0	)	$	20.2	(505.0	)%

The net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of a derivative embedded in the E.ON contingent liability. This change in fair value resulted in unrealized gains of $0.4 million and $16.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The net loss on forward contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related primarily to marking-to-market and recording settlements on option contracts that were put in place to provide partial downside price protection for our domestic facilities. As of June 30, 2012, all of these option contracts were settled.



Gain on bargain purchase (in millions)	2013		2012		$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	—	$	—	$	—	N/A
Nine months ended September 30,	$	5.3	$	—	$	5.3	N/A

On June 1, 2013, we acquired the Sebree smelter. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change based on the finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $5.3 million. The gain on bargain purchase reflects the LME market and the market risk associated with the power agreement for the facility at June 1, 2013. See Note 2 Acquisition of Sebree aluminum smelter to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.



Loss on early extinguishment of debt (in millions)	2013			2012		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	—		$	—	$	—		N/A
Nine months ended September 30,	$	(3.3	)	$	—	$	(3.3	)	N/A

As a result of the tender offer and redemption of the 8% Notes, we recorded charges of $3.3 million for loss on early extinguishment of debt. We determined the tender and redemption of the 8.0% Notes should be treated as an extinguishment of the debt and accordingly, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2013. The loss on early extinguishment of debt consisted of the write-off of deferred financing costs and the debt discount associated with the 8.0% Notes, as well as the tender premium paid as part of the 8.0% Notes Tender Offer. See Note 10 Debt to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.



Other income (expense) – net (in millions)	2013			2012		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	0.2		$	7.6	$	(7.4	)	(97.4	)%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	(1.0	)	$	8.1	$	(9.1	)	(112.3	)%

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Grundartangi received a $7.9 million settlement payment for the costs to repair a transformer damaged in transit, a related business interruption claim, interest and other fees associated with the claim. A significant portion of the remainder of other income (expense) – net relates to exchange rate gains and losses, the majority of which are items denominated in ISK.



Income tax expense (in millions)	2013			2012			$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended September 30,	$	(1.4	)	$	(1.2	)	$	(0.2	)	16.7	%
Nine months ended September 30,	$	(4.7	)	$	(7.4	)	$	2.7		(36.5	)%

Our 2013 and 2012 income tax expense was primarily driven by our earnings in Iceland, with some additional income tax expense due to U.S. state income taxes, partially offset by the release of a portion of our valuation allowance. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as a result of the recently completed audit by the Internal Revenue Service, we reduced our interest receivable by approximately $1.0 million with a charge to income tax expense in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are available cash, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We have also raised capital in the past through the public equity and debt markets although we have no commitments in place for such transactions. We regularly explore various other financing alternatives. Our principal uses of cash are the funding of operating costs (including postretirement benefits), maintenance of curtailed production facilities, payments of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, the funding of capital expenditures, investments in our growth activities and in related businesses, repurchases of common stock, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2013 was approximately $141 million compared to approximately $184 million at December 31, 2012. In May 2013, we entered into the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement which extended the term of our Credit Facility through May 24, 2018 and provides for borrowings of up to $137.5 million in the aggregate, including up to $80 million under a letter of credit sub-facility. As of September 30, 2013, our Credit Facility had approximately $16.7 million outstanding borrowings and approximately $44.3 million of net availability. We have approximately $70.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility. Future curtailments of domestic production capacity would reduce domestic accounts receivable and inventory, which comprise the borrowing base of our Credit Facility, and would result in a corresponding reduction in availability under the Credit Facility. The acquisition of the Sebree smelter increased domestic accounts receivable and inventory and resulted in a corresponding increase in availability under the Credit Facility.

In August 2014, our 7.5% senior unsecured notes payable will reach maturity and we will make a $2.6 million repayment to retire these notes.

In December 2012, February 2013, March 2013 and April 2013, Nordural ehf participated in the 50/50 ISK Auctions (the “Auctions”) sponsored by the Central Bank of Iceland (“CBI”) and may participate in future auctions. The Auctions allow authorized investors to exchange foreign currency for ISK with 50% exchanged at the official rate set by the CBI and 50% exchanged at the auction rate. The ISK received in the Auctions must be invested in Iceland for a minimum of five years.

We may be required to make installment payments for the E.ON contingent obligation in the future. These payments are contingent based on the LME price of primary aluminum and the level of Hawesville’s operations. Based on the LME forward market at September 30, 2013 and management’s estimate of the LME forward market beyond the quoted market period, we reached a determination that we will not be required to make payments on the E.ON contingent obligation during the term of the agreement through 2028. See Note 5 Derivative and hedging instruments and Note 10 Debt to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $60 million stock repurchase program. Through September 30, 2013, we had expended approximately $50 million under the program. At September 30, 2013, we had approximately $10 million remaining under the repurchase program authorization. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

In April 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the PBGC regarding an alleged “cessation of operations” at our Ravenswood facility as a result of the curtailment of operations at the facility. While we do not believe that a “cessation of operations” has occurred, we have reached an agreement with the PBGC to resolve the matter. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we will make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans over the term of the agreement, which runs through 2016. Through October 2013, we made contributions pursuant to this agreement of $5.9 million. We expect to make additional annual contributions through 2016 totaling approximately $11.5 million. Under certain circumstances, in periods of low primary aluminum prices relative to our operations, we may defer one or more of these payments, but we would be required to provide the PBGC with acceptable security for any deferred payments.

Based on current actuarial and other assumptions, we have made the minimum required contributions to the qualified defined benefit plans we sponsor of approximately $2.7 million during 2013 in addition to the contributions required pursuant to the PBGC settlement. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we have made contributions to these plans of $8.6 million. We may choose to make additional contributions to these plans from time to time at our discretion.

Under an agreement with the Government of Iceland, Nordural Grundartangi ehf agreed to prepay taxes during 2012, 2011 and 2010 as an advance levy of income taxes and other governmental taxes for the period of 2013 through 2018. The amount of prepaid taxes paid through December 31, 2012 was approximately $9.6 million. The prepaid taxes will offset taxes otherwise payable in equal installments over the period 2013 through 2018. In 2013, approximately $1.6 million of the prepaid taxes will be used to offset income taxes due. Through September 30, 2013, we made estimated net income tax payments in Iceland of approximately $8.6 million.

We paid approximately $13.1 million in withholding taxes for intercompany dividend payments in Iceland in the third quarter of 2012 and approximately $8.3 million in first quarter of 2013. On November 1, 2013, we received a refund of the withholding taxes of approximately $21.7 million. In addition, we paid Iceland approximately $9.8 million in withholding taxes in the third quarter of 2013, which we expect will be refunded in 2014. The withholding taxes and associated refunds are payable in ISK and we are subject to foreign currency risk associated with fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared the ISK.

In May 2013, we received a US federal income tax refund of $5.0 million upon the notification from the Internal Revenue Service that it had finalized the review of our federal income tax returns for the tax years 2008, 2009, and 2010 and refund years of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

In June 2012, Nordural Grundartangi entered into a new supplemental power contract with Landsvirkjun. The supplemental power contract, which will expire in October 2029 (or upon the occurrence of certain earlier events), will provide Nordural Grundartangi with supplemental power, as Nordural Grundartangi may request from time to time, at LME-based variable rates. Nordural Grundartangi has agreed to make certain prepayments to Landsvirkjun for power expected to be used at a later date in connection with the contract, which will reduce the price paid for power at the time of consumption. As of September 30, 2013, these power prepayments totaled approximately $2.0 million. We expect the amount of the prepayment to continue to grow slowly and we do not expect to realize the benefits from the prepayments in the near term.

Capital Resources

We intend to finance our future recurring capital expenditures from available cash, our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. For major investment projects, such as the Helguvik project, we would likely seek financing from various capital and loan markets and may potentially pursue the formation of strategic alliances. We may be unable to issue additional debt or equity securities, or to issue these securities on attractive terms, 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 capital markets and our financial condition.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $43.4 million, of which $2.9 million was related to the Helguvik project and $8.5 million was related to the Century Vlissingen restart. The balance principally related to an expansion project at Grundartangi that is expected to increase production capacity by approximately 40,000 mtpy over the next four years. The remaining amounts are related to upgrading production equipment, improving facilities and complying with environmental requirements. We believe capital spending in 2013, excluding the activity on the Century Vlissingen and Helguvik projects, will be approximately $40 to $45 million.

On June 1, 2013, we acquired the Sebree aluminum smelter from a subsidiary of RTA. The purchase price for the acquisition was $61 million (subject to customary working capital adjustments), of which we have paid approximately $48 million as of September 30, 2013. The remaining portion of the purchase price will be paid following final determination of the applicable working capital adjustments, which will be determined based on the amount of working capital transferred to Century Sebree at closing versus a target working capital amount of $71 million. The transaction was funded with the available cash on hand. See Note 2 Acquisition of Sebree aluminum smelter in the consolidated financial statements contained herein for additional information.

In order to restart the first 75,000 metric tons of annual anode capacity at Century Vlissingen, we intend to make approximately $30 to $35 million in capital expenditures in 2013. Through September 30, 2013, we have spent approximately $8.5 million on this project. We expect the first 75,000 metric tons of capacity will be restarted in late 2013 and will provide an anode supply to Grundartangi to replace third-party anode supply contracts terminated in 2013. Following the restart of the first 75,000 metric tons, we currently intend to make approximately $13 million in additional expenditures at some point during the following three years in order to restart an additional 75,000 metric tons of capacity.

We have made and continue to make capital expenditures for the construction and development of our Helguvik project. We have substantial future contractual commitments for the Helguvik project. If we were to cancel the Helguvik project, we estimate that our exposure to contract cancellation costs would be approximately $20 million. We are continuing to negotiate with the power suppliers to the project, among other things, to remove all the remaining conditions to their obligations to supply contracted power. The timing of the power availability together with other factors will determine the timing of resumption of major construction activity at Helguvik. We expect that capital expenditures for this project will be approximately $1 million per quarter until the restart of major construction activities. We cannot, at this time, predict when the restart of major construction activity will occur.

Historical

Our statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below:



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012
	(dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	42,458		$	21,085
Net cash used in investing activities	(93,926		)	(27,078		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	8,293			(4,033		)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(43,175	)	$	(10,026	)

Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $42.5 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $21.1 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase in cash from operations in 2013 was due to improved conversion cost performance primarily due to lower power and carbon costs, approximately $11 million less in income tax and withholding tax payments and an approximately $20 million increase in cash from working capital in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, which were partially offset by the impact of lower LME prices.

Our net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2013 was $93.9 million compared to $27.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in cash used was primarily due to payments for the purchase of the Sebree smelter in 2013 of $48.1 million and higher capital expenditures for the Grundartangi expansion project and Vlissingen restart project. We continue to make capital expenditures for the restart of our carbon anode assets and in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we expended $8.5 million on the Vlissingen project. In addition, restricted cash deposits increased $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to certain vendor payments associated with the Vlissingen project. We purchased carbon anode assets and made additional improvements totaling $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $8.3 million, which was primarily related to borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $16.7 million, offset by the net costs associated with the extinguishment of our 8.0% Notes and the issuance of our 7.5% Notes. Our net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a defendant in several actions relating to various aspects of our business. While there are uncertainties relating to the ultimate disposition of any litigation, management, based on information currently available, does not believe that the resolution of 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 11 Commitments and contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity price risk

We are exposed to price risk for primary aluminum. From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in the price of primary aluminum through financial instruments designed to protect our downside price risk exposure for our domestic production. In addition, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in our costs by purchasing certain of our alumina and power requirements under supply contracts with prices tied to the same indices as our aluminum sales contracts (the LME price of primary aluminum). Our risk management activities do not include any trading or speculative transactions.

Other forward delivery contracts



	September 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
	(in metric tons)
Other forward delivery contracts – total	32,994	88,827
Other forward delivery contracts – Glencore	1,775	1,811

We had no outstanding primary aluminum forward financial sales contracts at September 30, 2013. We had no fixed price forward financial contracts to purchase aluminum at September 30, 2013.

Market based power purchases

The Kentucky Public Service Commission approved a new power supply agreement with Kenergy and Big Rivers for providing market priced power to the Hawesville smelter, effective August 20, 2013. Under the arrangement, the power companies purchase power on the open market and pass it through to Hawesville at the market price plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. We are exposed to market price risk due to fluctuations in price of power purchased from these companies. Power represents our single largest operating cost, so increases in the price and/or availability of market power could significantly impact the profitability of our Hawesville operations. In addition, indirect factors that lead to power cost increases, such as the increasing prices for natural gas or coal, fluctuations in or extremes in weather patterns, new or more stringent environmental regulations, or problems associated with power transmission, grid stability or energy import capability may severely impact our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Based on the current usage, every $1 per megawatt hour increase in market power prices will increase our costs at Hawesville approximately $4.2 million annually.

While we currently have not entered into any forward contracts to mitigate the price risk associated with our open market power purchases, we may manage our exposure by entering into certain forward contracts or option contracts in future periods.

Foreign currency

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the ISK, euro, the Chinese yuan 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 yuan. We have deposits denominated in ISK in Icelandic banks, in addition, our tax payments in Iceland for withholding taxes on intercompany dividends and estimated payments of Icelandic income taxes and any associated refunds are denominated in ISK. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would affect Grundartangi’s operating margins. We expect to incur capital expenditures for capital investments in Century Vlissingen in the Netherlands over the next three years. In addition, Century Vlissingen's labor costs, maintenance costs and other local services will be denominated in euros. We expect to incur capital expenditures for the construction of the Helguvik project, although we continue to evaluate the Helguvik project’s cost, scope and schedule. A significant portion of the capital expenditures for the Helguvik project are forecasted to be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, with significant portions in ISK, euros and Swiss francs.

We may manage our exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts or option contracts for forecasted transactions and projected cash flows for foreign currencies in future periods. As of September 30, 2013, we had no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding.

Natural Economic Hedges

The following estimate of our exposure to the commodity price of aluminum is necessarily limited, as it does not take into consideration our inventory or forward delivery contracts, or the offsetting impact on the sales price of primary aluminum products. Our alumina contracts are indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum and provide a natural hedge for approximately 16% of our production. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 34% of our production for 2013 was hedged by our LME-based alumina contracts and by Grundartangi’s electrical power and tolling contracts.

Risk Management

Our metals, power, foreign currency and natural gas 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 September 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (our principal financial officer), has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

b. Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. On June 1, 2013, we acquired the Sebree smelter and we are currently in the process of extending our internal controls over financial reporting to Sebree's operations.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In addition to the matters discussed below, we may from time to time be involved in claims, proceedings and litigation arising from our business and property ownership. We believe, based on currently available information, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We have been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by our former Chief Executive Officer, Logan Kruger, alleging breach of contract. The lawsuit alleges that Century anticipatorily breached the employment and severance protection agreements between Century and Mr. Kruger and that Century is obligated to make various severance payments in excess of $20 million to Mr. Kruger under such agreements. In addition, the complaint seeks unspecified damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. The trial court has transferred the matter to an arbitration panel for resolution. We believe these claims are without merit and intend to defend ourselves against them. The arbitration hearing was held in the third quarter of 2013, and we expect a ruling in the arbitration in late 2013 or the first quarter of 2014.

In April 2013, our subsidiary Nordural Grundartangi received a ruling in an arbitration case involving two of its power suppliers, HS Orka and Orkuveita Reykjavikur. Under the arbitration award, Nordural Grundartangi is restricted from reducing power under its existing power contracts with HS Orka and Orkuveita Reykjavikur in order to take power under a separate power contract with Orkuveita Reykjavikur originally intended to be used at Helguvik. Nordural Grundartangi remains entitled to take power under the Orkuveita Reykjavikur Helguvik contract to the extent that its power needs exceed the amount of power provided under its existing power contracts. As part of the award, the tribunal awarded HS Orka damages and Nordural Grundartangi paid $1.5 million to HS Orka in full satisfaction of such award. The tribunal ordered each party to pay its own legal fees and costs. While no damages were awarded to Orkuveita Reykjavikur as part of the arbitration, Orkuveita Reykjavikur has subsequently alleged damages against Nordural Grundartangi. We intend to defend ourselves against these claims. The matter is in a preliminary stage, and we cannot estimate a range of possible losses related to this matter at this time. Regardless of the final outcome, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this action will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

For further information regarding legal proceedings pending against us as of September 30, 2013, refer to Note 11 Commitments and contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing Century. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

New LME warehousing rules could cause metal premiums to decrease.

The LME has announced new rules that would require LME warehouses, under certain conditions, to deliver out more aluminum than they take in. These new rules could cause an increase in the supply of aluminum to enter the physical market and may cause local delivery premiums and LME aluminum prices to fall. Declines in aluminum prices and local delivery premiums reduce our earnings and cash flows. Future downturns in aluminum prices may significantly reduce the amount of cash available to meet our obligations and fund our long-term business strategies and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Sebree acquisition, our business and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Consummation of the Sebree acquisition occurred in June 2013.

We are subject to numerous risks following the consummation of the Sebree acquisition, including that:


•	our senior management's attention may be diverted from the management of our existing business as we integrate the acquired Sebree operations, which may disrupt our existing operations and relationships with our customers;


•	we may incur costs and expenses associated with any unidentified or potential liabilities;


•	the Sebree acquisition may not perform as well as we anticipate;


•	unforeseen difficulties may arise in integrating the acquired Sebree operations into our existing operations; and


•	Sebree has issued a 12-month notice to terminate its power contract with Kenergy (the same power provider as our Hawesville facility), effective January 31, 2014. If we are unable to make alternative favorable power arrangements for the facility, then the Sebree smelter will be curtailed.

Accordingly, the Sebree acquisition might not ultimately improve our competitive position and business prospects as anticipated and may subject us to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, if we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Sebree acquisition, the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the market price reflects those anticipated benefits.

If we are unable to successfully finalize the new power arrangement at our Hawesville smelter or negotiate better power pricing at our Sebree smelter, we will curtail these facilities.

Pursuant to the termination notice issued in August 2012, the Hawesville Power Agreement terminated on August 20, 2013. Effective August 20, 2013, the KPSC approved a new power supply agreement with Kenergy and Big Rivers that allows the power companies to purchase power on the open market and pass it through to Hawesville at the market price plus additional costs incurred by them; however, there are still significant regulatory and transmission issues that remain unresolved with respect to this new power supply agreement. In addition, a group of Kentucky industrial customers subsequently filed an appeal to the KPSC order approving the new power supply arrangement at Hawesville. If we are unable to successfully resolve the appeal or the regulatory and transmission issues, then the Hawesville smelter will have to be curtailed.

In January 2013, Sebree issued a 12-month notice to terminate the Sebree Power Agreement with Kenergy. Pursuant to the termination notice, the Sebree Power Agreement will terminate on January 31, 2014. Under current economic conditions, we have determined that the Sebree smelter is not economically viable with its power rates and that we must obtain better power pricing to maintain its viability. Upon termination of the Sebree Power Agreement, Century is required to make alternative power arrangements or curtail activity at the plant. Our ability to enter into alternative power arrangements is limited by Kentucky state law.

We intend to seek a market-based power contract for Sebree similar to the agreement we reached for Hawesville, but no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain one. If a new power arrangement for Sebree is not reached and approved prior to January 31, 2014, the Sebree plant will have to be curtailed. A curtailment of either the Hawesville or Sebree plants (or both of them) would impose various costs on us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

In addition, uncertainty regarding the future operation of these smelters may damage our relationships with our customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders, whether or not these smelters are ultimately curtailed. For example, on April 16, 2013 we issued a conditional WARN notice to our employees in Hawesville that has been extended through December 20, 2013 and we gave notice to terminate the supply contract with Hawesville's largest customer, in each case given the potential plant closure. We also issued a conditional WARN notice on November 1, 2013 to our employees at the Sebree plant. We may also need to take actions to terminate other customer and supply contracts or curtail individual potlines well in advance of any plant closure. Customers and suppliers may also become unwilling to renew existing contracts or enter into new contracts with us. It may also become more difficult to attract and retain employees. Such actions and events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Increases in electricity costs adversely affect our business.

Electricity represents our single largest operating cost. As a result, the availability of electricity at economic prices is critical to the profitability of our operations. Portions of the contracted cost of the electricity supplied to Mt. Holly and all of Sebree’s electricity costs vary with the supplier’s costs. An increase in these costs would increase the price these facilities pay for electricity. Costs under the Sebree electricity contract have substantially increased in recent years with rising fuel prices and other factors. As these contracts have take-or-pay type provisions, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Sebree and Mt. Holly may be adversely affected by the price for electric power even if we curtail unprofitable production capacity. Significant increases in electricity costs at any of our operations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. While natural gas based power facilities may provide lower priced alternatives to coal based power facilities, we may be unable to take advantage of such lower costs due to our existing power contracts. We have finalized a new market-based electricity contract for Hawesville subject to further approval from applicable regional transmission organizations and regulatory bodies regarding grid stability and energy import capability. We are seeking a similar market-based electricity contract for Sebree. The power contract at our Mt. Holly facility is primarily market-based. While we believe market-based electricity contracts currently yield prices lower than the prices we would otherwise pay, they expose us to market fluctuations. Electricity and energy prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years, without any direct relationship to the price of aluminum, and could adversely affect our results in future periods. Market fluctuations that lead to increased electricity and energy prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations and liquidity.

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 activities under ITRA have 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 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 (“GOI”):

During the third quarter of 2013, non-U.S. affiliates of the largest stockholder of the Company (“non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates”) entered into sales transactions which involved metal purchased in previous years from Iranian entities wholly or majority owned by the GOI. All transactions were conducted 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 these transactions did not exceed the value of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 ending September 30, 2013. 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 transactions with the GOI would not exceed a small fraction of the gross revenue from such transactions. It is not possible to determine accurately the precise net profit attributable to these transactions.

These transactions 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.

In accordance with applicable U.S. and foreign sanctions laws, the non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates expect to continue to engage in similar activities in the future.

Century 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 third quarter of 2013 ending September 30, 2013 that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
