CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
(amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1.General
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Century Aluminum Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. Throughout this Form 10-Q, and unless expressly stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, "Century Aluminum," "Century," the "Company," "we," "us," "our" and "ours" refer to Century Aluminum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." Amendments include the removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and to improve and simplify accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. Updates are related to intraperiod tax allocation, interim period tax calculations, tax laws or rate changes in interim periods, and income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of ASU 2019-12 and we do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a final rule that amends the disclosure requirements related issuers and guarantors of certain registered securities under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10. The final rule allows registrants to provide alternative financial disclosures in either the registrant’s MD&A or financial statements, rather than the previous requirement under Rule 3-10, which required condensed consolidating financial information within the financial statements. It also simplifies the requirements in Rule 3-10 that currently must be met for a parent company to qualify for exceptions allowing it to provide alternative disclosures rather than full audited financial statements. The ruling also reduces the periods for which summarized financial information is required to be presented to the most recent (1) annual period and (2) year-to-date interim period. The final rule applies to annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending after January 4, 2021 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for quarterly periods ending after January 4, 2021 and registrants may voluntarily comply with the final rule before the effective date. The Company does not expect the future adoption, which is limited to disclosures only, to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2.Related Party Transactions
The significant related party transactions occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are described below. We believe all of our transactions with related parties are at prices that approximate market.
Glencore ownership
As of September 30, 2020, Glencore plc and its affiliates (together "Glencore") beneficially owned 42.9% of Century’s outstanding common stock (46.8% on a fully-diluted basis assuming the conversion of all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) and all of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 6. Shareholders' Equity for a description of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. From time to time, Century and Glencore enter into various transactions for the purchase and sale of primary aluminum, purchase and sale of alumina, tolling agreements, certain forward financial contracts and loan agreements.

Sales to Glencore
For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately 60.0% and 64.5%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales were made to Glencore, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we derived 65.2% and 64.1%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales from sales to Glencore.
Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our U.S smelters at prices based on the London Metal Exchange (the "LME") plus the Midwest regional delivery premium plus any additional market-based product premiums. Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our Grundartangi, Iceland smelter at prices based on the LME plus the European Duty Paid premium plus any additional market-based product premiums.
We have also entered into agreements with Glencore pursuant to which we sell certain amounts of alumina at market-based prices. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $16.4 million and $17.6 million of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $4.5 million and $26.2 million of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore, respectively.

4.Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy provides transparency regarding the inputs we use to measure fair value. We categorize each fair value measurement in its entirety into the following three levels, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement:
•Level 1 Inputs - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 Inputs - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 Inputs - significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements |  | As of September 30, 2020
|  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total

(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.
(2) Surety bonds were invested in U.S. treasury bills and represent collateral against our workers' compensation insurance policy.
We use the following valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements:
Asset / Liability |  | Level |  | Valuation Techniques |  | Inputs
LME forward financial sales contracts |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Quoted LME forward market
MWP forward financial sales contracts |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Quoted MWP forward market
Fixed for floating swaps |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Quoted LME forward market, quoted MWP forward market
Nord Pool power price swaps |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Quoted Nord Pool forward market
MISO Indiana Hub power price swaps |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Quoted Indy Hub forward market
FX swaps |  | 2 |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Euro/USD forward exchange rate

When valuing Level 3 assets and liabilities, we use certain significant unobservable inputs. Management incorporates various inputs and assumptions including forward commodity prices, commodity price volatility, and macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates and discount rates. Our estimates of significant unobservable inputs are ultimately based on our estimates of risks that market participants would consider when valuing our assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the inputs for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, along with information regarding significant unobservable inputs used to value Level 3 assets and liabilities:

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements: |  |
Asset / Liability |  | Fair Value at September 30, 2020 |  | Valuation Technique |  | Observable Inputs |  | Significant Unobservable Input |  | Value/Range of Unobservable Input

5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") amounts are calculated by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive securities.
The following table shows the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

| For the three months ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019
| Net Income (Loss) |  | Shares (in millions) |  | Per Share |  | Net Income (Loss) |  | Shares (in millions) |  | Per Share
Net income (loss) | $ | (58.2) |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (20.7) |  |  |  |  |
Amount allocated to common stockholders | 100.0 | % |  |  |  |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  |  |
Basic and diluted EPS(1) | $ | (58.2) |  |  | 89.5 |  |  | $ | (0.65) |  |  | $ | (20.7) |  |  | 88.9 |  |  | $ | (0.23) |

| Net Income (Loss) |  | Shares (in millions) |  | Per Share |  | Net Income (Loss) |  | Shares (in millions) |  | Per Share
Net income (loss) | $ | (87.8) |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (76.0) |  |  |  |  |
Amount allocated to common stockholders | 100.0 | % |  |  |  |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  |  |
Basic and diluted EPS(1) | $ | (87.8) |  |  | 89.4 |  |  | $ | (0.98) |  |  | $ | (76.0) |  |  | 88.6 |  |  | $ | (0.86) |

| Three months ended September 30, |  | Nine months ended September 30, |  |
Securities excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (in millions)(1): | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  |  |  |
Share-based compensation | 1.7 |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | 1.2 |  |  | 0.6 |  |  |  |  |

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

6.Shareholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had 195,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, of which 96,671,355 shares were issued and 89,484,834 shares were outstanding at September 30, 2020; 96,372,182 shares were issued and 89,185,661 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2019.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which are currently outstanding, including our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or which we may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, authorized under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In 2008, we issued 160,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Glencore holds all of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 66,039 and 67,323 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively.
The issuance of common stock under our stock incentive programs, debt exchange transactions and any stock offering that excludes Glencore participation triggers anti-dilution provisions of the preferred stock agreement and results in the automatic conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The conversion ratio of preferred to common shares is 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock.
The Common and Preferred Stock table below contains additional information about preferred stock conversions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

| Preferred stock |  | Common stock
Common and Preferred Stock Activity (in shares): | Series A Convertible |  | Treasury |  | Outstanding

Stock Repurchase Program
In 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a $60.0 million common stock repurchase program and during the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of the program by $70.0 million. Under the program, Century is authorized to repurchase up to $130.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, from time to time, on the open market at prevailing market prices, in block trades or otherwise. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Shares of common stock repurchased are recorded at cost as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. From time to time, treasury shares may be reissued as contributions to our employee benefit plans and for the conversion of convertible preferred stock. When shares are reissued, we use an average cost method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the reissuance price is added to or deducted from additional

paid-in capital.
We have repurchased 7,186,521 shares of common stock under the program for an aggregate purchase price of $86.3 million. We have made no repurchases since April 2015 and we have $43.7 million remaining under the repurchase program authorization as of September 30, 2020.
7. Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.3 million and income tax benefit of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change is primarily due to improved operational results from foreign operations in the current quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, which is primarily the result of overall losses from our foreign operations.
Our income tax benefit or expense is based on an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the year. The application of the accounting requirements for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance, causes a significant variation in the typical relationship between income tax expense/benefit and pre-tax accounting income/loss.
As of September 30, 2020, 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.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which provides for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act"). In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2018-02, $1.3 million of stranded tax effects related to the Act were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2019. This reclassification included the impact of the change in the federal corporate income tax rate and the related federal benefit of state taxes.
The Company’s accounting policy with respect to releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income is to apply a security by security approach whereby the tax effects are measured based on the change in the unrealized gains or losses reflected in other comprehensive loss.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was enacted in response to the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. The CARES Act is aimed at providing assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by COVID-19 and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to analyze the various aspects of the CARES Act to determine the impact specific provisions may have on us and our operations. As of September 30, 2020, Century does not expect to record material benefits from the CARES Act.
8. Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

| September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Raw materials | $ | 75.2 |  |  | $ | 101.3 |
Work-in-process | 41.3 |  |  | 44.1 |
Finished goods | 18.4 |  |  | 34.3 |
Operating and other supplies | 132.6 |  |  | 140.9 |
Total inventories | $ | 267.5 |  |  | $ | 320.6 |

Debt classified as current liabilities: |  |  |
Hawesville Term Loan - current portion(1) | $ | 20.0 |  |  | $ | 20.0 |

7.5% senior secured notes due June 2021, net of debt discount of $0.8 million at December 31, 2019 | — |  |  | 249.2 |
12.0% senior secured notes due June 2025, net of debt discount of $2.4 million and financing fees of $4.8 million at September 30, 2020, interest payable semiannually | 242.8 |  |  | — |
Hawesville Term Loan - less current portion(1), principal and interest payable monthly | 5.0 |  |  | 20.0 |
Total | $ | 325.6 |  |  | $ | 301.0 |

(1) See "Hawesville Term Loan" below. At September 30, 2020, the applicable interest rate was LIBOR of 0.3% plus margin of 5.375% and there is no interest payable outstanding. As of September 30, 2020, we have made $15.0 million of principal payments and $1.6 million of interest payments.
(2) 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, 2020 was 0.34%.
(3) We have elected to incur interest at a base rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. The interest rate at September 30, 2020 was 4.0%.
(4) We have elected to incur interest at a base rate plus applicable margin as defined within the agreement. The interest rate at September 30, 2020 was 3.2%.
12.0% Notes due 2025
General. On July 1, 2020, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.0% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes were issued at a discount and we received proceeds of $243.8 million, prior to payment of certain financing fees and related expenses.
Interest Rate. The 2025 Notes bear interest semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021, at a rate of (i) 10.00% per annum in cash and (ii) 2.00% per annum in the form of additional notes or in cash, at our option.
Maturity. The 2025 Notes mature on July 1, 2025.
Seniority. The 2025 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 2025 Notes are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for foreign owned holding companies, any domestic restricted subsidiary that owns no assets other than equity interests or other investments in foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial 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 to the extent of the value of collateral.
20

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Collateral. Our obligations under the 2025 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);
(ii) all equity interests in subsidiaries directly owned by Century or any Guarantor Subsidiaries; and
(iii) proceeds of the foregoing.
Under certain circumstances, the indenture and the security documents governing the 2025 Notes will permit us and the guarantors to 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 2025 Notes. The collateral agent for the 2025 Notes will agree with the collateral agent for the other debt holders and us under such circumstances to enter into an intercreditor agreement that will cause the liens securing the 2025 Notes to be contractually subordinated to the liens securing such additional debt.
Redemption Rights. Prior to July 1, 2021, we may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, and if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 1 of the years indicated below, at the following redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:

Year | Percentage
2021 | 105.0%
2022 | 102.5%
2023 | 101.25%
2024 | 100.0%

Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes on the date of the purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
Covenants. The indenture governing the 2025 Notes contains customary covenants which may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur additional liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with shareholders or affiliates; and (ix) effect a consolidation or merger.
7.5% Notes Tender Offer and Redemption
In June 2020, we commenced a tender offer to the holders of the outstanding 7.5% senior secured notes due June 2021 (the "2021 Notes") and notified all such holders of our election to redeem all 2021 Notes not purchased in the tender offer on July 31, 2020. We received tenders for approximately $243.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes and the remaining 2021 Notes were redeemed on July 31, 2020 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, the Company’s and the guarantors’ obligations under the indenture governing the 2021 Notes have been fully discharged. We applied the net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes described above, together with cash on hand, toward payment of the total consideration amount to holders whose 2021 Notes were accepted and purchased in the tender offer and to fund the redemption of any remaining 2021 Notes.
Based on the characteristics of the 2021 Notes and the 2025 Notes that were issued, the tender and redemption of the 2021 Notes are accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. Accordingly, we have recorded a $1.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, consisting of the write-off of deferred financing costs and the debt discount associated with the 2021 Notes, as well as the tender fees paid as part of the tender offer.
Hawesville Term Loan
On April 29, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement with Glencore Ltd. pursuant to which the Company borrowed $40.0 million. Borrowings under the Hawesville Term Loan were used to partially finance the second phase of the Hawesville restart project. The Hawesville Term Loan matures on December 31, 2021 and is to be repaid in twenty-four (24) equal monthly

installments of principal, beginning on January 31, 2020. The Hawesville Term Loan bears interest, due monthly, at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.375% per annum. The Hawesville Term Loan is not secured by any collateral.
U.S. Revolving Credit Facility
We and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries ("the Borrowers") have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders (as amended from time to time, the "U.S. revolving credit facility"). The U.S. revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $175.0 million in the aggregate, including up to $110.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility, and also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby borrowers may increase the capacity of the U.S. revolving credit facility by up to $50.0 million, subject to agreement with the lenders. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on May 16, 2023.
Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis. At September 30, 2020, there were $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our U.S. revolving credit facility. Principal payments, if any, are due upon maturity of the U.S. revolving credit facility and may be prepaid without penalty.

Status of our U.S. revolving credit facility: | September 30, 2020
Credit facility maximum amount | $ | 175.0 |
Borrowing availability | 124.6 |
Outstanding letters of credit issued | 36.6 |

At September 30, 2020, there were $45.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Iceland revolving credit facility. The Iceland revolving credit facility has a term through November 2022.

10.Commitments and Contingencies
We have pending against us or may be subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related primarily to employment, commercial, stockholder, environmental, safety and health matters and are involved in other matters that may give rise to contingent liabilities. While the results of such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any such matters and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation and estimating liabilities, should the resolution or outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.
In evaluating whether to accrue for losses associated with legal or environmental contingencies, it is our policy to take into consideration factors such as the facts and circumstances asserted, our historical experience with contingencies of a similar nature, the likelihood of our prevailing and the severity of any potential loss. For some matters, no accrual is established because we have assessed our risk of loss to be remote. Where the risk of loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual, either on an individual basis or with respect to a group of matters involving similar claims, based on the factors set forth above. While we regularly review the status of, and our estimates of potential liability associated with, contingencies to determine the adequacy of any associated accruals and related disclosures, the ultimate amount of loss may differ from our estimates.
Legal Contingencies
Vernon
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 was stayed by the court in 2008 to allow for the remediation of environmental areas at the site. On June 30, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ordered the stay lifted and reopened the case. Discovery was completed in the third quarter of 2019. Trial was bifurcated and moved from March 2020 to February 2021 for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") issues and to a later undetermined date in 2021 for questions of fact. At this stage, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this action or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses related to this matter.
Ravenswood Retiree Medical Benefits
In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") filed a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"), the USW’s local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives ("CAWV Retirees"), seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with respect to the foregoing.
On August 18, 2017, the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia approved a settlement agreement in respect of these actions. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, CAWV agreed to make payments into a trust for the benefit of the CAWV Retirees in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million over the course of ten years. Upon approval of the settlement, we paid $5.0 million to the aforementioned trust in September 2017 and recognized a gain of $5.5 million to arrive at the-then net present value of $12.5 million. CAWV has agreed to pay the remaining amounts under the settlement agreement in annual increments of $2.0 million for nine years. As of September 30, 2020, $2.0 million was recorded in other current liabilities and $7.3 million was recorded in other liabilities.

PBGC Settlement
In 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ("PBGC") regarding an alleged "cessation of operations" at our Ravenswood facility. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agreed to make additional contributions (above any minimum required contributions) to our defined benefit pension plans totaling approximately $17.4 million. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of operations, we are able to defer one or more of these payments, provided that we provide the PBGC with acceptable security for such deferred payments. We did not make any contributions for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, and 2019. We have elected to defer certain payments under the PBGC agreement and have provided the PBGC with the appropriate security. The remaining contributions under this agreement are approximately $9.6 million.
Environmental Contingencies
Matters relating to the St. Croix Alumina Refining Facility
We are a party to a United States Environmental Protection Agency Administrative Order on Consent (the "Order") pursuant to which certain 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. 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 December 2010, Century was among several defendants named 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. 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 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 motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims. In August 2015, the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix denied the motions to dismiss but ordered all plaintiffs to refile individual complaints. On February 28, 2018, plaintiffs in both cases filed a Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Century without prejudice to refiling. At this time, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of or to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for any of the foregoing actions relating to the St. Croix Alumina Refinery.
Power Commitments and Contingencies
Hawesville
Hawesville has a power supply arrangement with Kenergy and EDF Trading North America, LLC (“EDF") which provides market-based power to the Hawesville smelter. Under this arrangement, the power companies purchase power on the open market and pass it through to Hawesville at Midcontinent Independent System Operator ("MISO") pricing plus transmission and other costs. The power supply arrangement with Kenergy has an effective term through December 2023. The arrangement with EDF to act as our market participant with MISO has an effective term through May 2022. Each of these agreements provide for automatic extension on a year-to-year basis unless a one year notice is given.
Sebree
Sebree has a power supply arrangement with Kenergy and EDF which provides market-based power to the Sebree smelter. Similar to the arrangement at Hawesville, the power companies purchase power on the open market and pass it through to Sebree at MISO pricing plus transmission and other costs. The power supply arrangement with Kenergy has an effective term through December 2023. The arrangement with EDF to act as our market participant with MISO has an effective term through May 2022. Each of these agreements provides for automatic extension on a year-to-year basis unless a one year notice is given.

Mt. Holly
Mt. Holly has a power supply arrangement pursuant to which 25% of the Mt. Holly load is served from the South Carolina Public Service Authority’s ("Santee Cooper") generation at a cost-based industrial rate and 75% of the Mt. Holly load is sourced from a supplier that is outside Santee Cooper’s service territory at market prices that are tied to natural gas prices. The agreement with Santee Cooper has a term through December 31, 2020. The agreement with the other power supplier has a term through December 31, 2020 and may be terminated by Mt. Holly on 60 days’ notice.
On October 20, 2020, we issued a notice to employees at our Mt. Holly, South Carolina aluminum smelter of our intent to curtail the Mt. Holly plant operations by no later than December 31, 2020, when our current power contracts at Mt. Holly expire, if we are unable to secure a competitively priced power arrangement to deliver energy to the plant. The announcement was made pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
Grundartangi
Grundartangi has power purchase agreements for approximately 525 MW with HS Orka hf ("HS"), Landsvirkjun and Orkuveita Reykjavikur ("OR") to provide power to its Grundartangi smelter. These power purchase agreements expire on various dates from 2023 through 2036 (subject to extension). The power purchase agreements with HS and OR both provide power at LME-based variable rates for the duration of these agreements. The power purchase agreement with Landsvirkjun for 161 MW provides power at rates linked to the Nord Pool power market.
Helguvik
Nordural Helguvik ehf ("Helguvik") has a power purchase agreement with OR to provide a portion of the power requirements to the Helguvik project. The agreement would 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 agreement. The first phase of power under the OR purchase agreement (approximately 47.5 MW) became available in the fourth quarter of 2011 and is currently being utilized at Grundartangi. The agreement contains certain conditions to OR’s obligations with respect to the remaining phases and OR has alleged that certain of these conditions have not been satisfied.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Labor Commitments
The bargaining unit employees at our Grundartangi, Vlissingen, Hawesville and Sebree facilities are represented by labor unions, representing approximately 66% of our total workforce.
Approximately 86% of Grundartangi’s work force is represented by five labor unions, governed by a labor agreement that establishes wages and work rules for covered employees. This agreement is effective through December 31, 2024.
100% of Vlissingen's work force is represented by the Federation for the Metal and Electrical Industry ("FME") by a labor agreement that is effective through December 1, 2020.
Approximately 57% of our U.S. based work force is represented by USW. The labor agreement for Hawesville employees is effective through April 1, 2021. Century Sebree's labor agreement with the USW for its employees is effective through October 28, 2023. Mt. Holly employees are not represented by a labor union.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Century Aluminum Company and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. This MD&A contains “forward-looking statements” - see “Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Overview
We are a global producer of primary aluminum with aluminum reduction facilities, or "smelters," in the United States and Iceland. The key determinants of our results of operations and cash flow from operations are as follows:
•the price of primary aluminum, which is based on the London Metal Exchange ("LME") and other exchanges, plus any regional premiums and value-added product premiums;
•the cost of goods sold, the principal components of which are electrical power, alumina, carbon products and labor, which in aggregate represent more than 75% of our cost of goods sold; and
•our production volume.
Recent Developments
On October 20, 2020, we issued a notice to employees at our Mt. Holly, South Carolina aluminum smelter of our intent to curtail the Mt. Holly plant operations by no later than December 31, 2020, when our current power contracts at Mt. Holly expire, if we are unable to secure a competitively priced power arrangement to deliver energy to the plant. The announcement was made pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. If a decision is made to curtail the Mt. Holly facility, we would be subject to various costs and it could cause us to write down the book value of the Mt. Holly facility.
COVID-19 Update
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of actions to protect the health and well-being of our employees and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our operations. As a result, our plants have not experienced any disruption in operations as a result of the pandemic, and we continue to sell all of our metal essentially as it is cast.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the broader economy, however, resulted in decreased prices for our product. For example, the LME price for primary aluminum averaged $1,494 per tonne for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $1,592 per tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to an average of $1,792 for 2019. We have recently continued to see some improvement in the global economy resulting in an increase in the price for our product. For example, the LME price for primary aluminum averaged $1,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $1,803 per tonne for October 2020. However, because we sell our product on a one- to three-month lag to current prices, our results reflect the LME price on this one to three month lag basis. Customer demand for value-added aluminum products and, in turn, the product premium we receive for such products, also have generally returned to first quarter levels after having been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have taken actions to mitigate the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reducing discretionary spending, optimizing working capital and deferring non-essential capital projects. Decreases in the prices of our products have also been partially offset by decreases in the prices of our key cost inputs.
The potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial performance is difficult to predict and will depend on future developments, and such effects could exist for an extended period of time. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for additional information on the potential risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results of Operations
The following discussion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects restart activity at Hawesville and no change in production capacities at our other operating facilities.
Our net sales are impacted primarily by the LME price for aluminum, regional and value-added premiums, and the volume and product mix of aluminum we ship during the period. In general, our results reflect the LME and regional premium pricing on an approximately one to three month lag basis reflecting contractual terms with our customers.
Electrical power, alumina, carbon products and labor are the principal components of our cost of goods sold. In general, our results reflect the market cost of alumina on an approximately three-month lag reflecting the terms of our alumina contracts and inventory levels.

Nine months ended September 30, | $ | 1,216.0 |  |  | $ | 1,401.2 |  |

Net sales (excluding alumina sales) decreased by $63.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by unfavorable LME and regional premium price realizations of $65.1 million.
Net sales decreased by $185.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by unfavorable LME and regional premium price realizations of $175.4 million.

Gross profit (loss) (in millions) | 2020 |  | 2019

Nine months ended September 30, | $ | (35.3) |  |  | $ | (30.6) |

Gross loss increased by $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to unfavorable LME and regional premium price realizations of $65.1 million and unfavorable operating expenses of $8.9 million, partially offset by favorable raw material price realizations of $64.4 million.
41

Gross loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $4.7 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to unfavorable LME and regional premium price realizations of $175.4 million and unfavorable operating expenses of $20.6 million, partially offset by favorable raw material and power price realizations of $192.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily driven by a decrease in compensation costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $6.5 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily driven by a decrease in compensation costs.

Net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts (in millions) | 2020 |  | 2019
Three months ended September 30, | $ | (9.4) |  |  | $ | 10.3 |
Nine months ended September 30, | $ | (1.9) |  |  | $ | 10.7 |

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net gain on forward and derivative contracts decreased by $19.7 million compared to that for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The period to period change is primarily due to increases in LME and MWP prices from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020, as compared to those from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net gain on our forward and derivative contracts decreased by $12.6 million compared to that for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gain relates to the impact of increases in LME and MWP prices.

Income tax benefit (expense) (in millions) | 2020 |  | 2019
Three months ended September 30, | $ | (0.3) |  |  | $ | 1.3 |
Nine months ended September 30, | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 5.7 |

We have a valuation allowance against all of our U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets. The period to period change is primarily due to the change in earnings at our foreign entities that are not subject to a valuation allowance. See Note 7. Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are available cash and cash flow from operations. We also have access to our existing revolving credit facilities and have raised capital in the past through public equity and debt markets. We regularly explore various other financing alternatives. Our principal uses of cash include the funding of operating costs (including post-retirement benefits), debt service requirements, capital expenditures, investments in our growth activities and in related businesses, working capital and other general corporate requirements.
We believe that cash provided from operations and financing activities will be adequate to cover our operations and business needs over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $81.4 million and unused availability under our revolving credit facilities of $88.0 million, resulting in a total liquidity position of approximately $169.4 million.
42

Adverse changes in the price of aluminum or our principal costs of production could materially impact our ability to generate and raise cash. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to impact the economy which may impact the price of our products as well as our ability to access capital and/or the terms under which we can do so. As noted above, we have taken preemptive action to preserve our liquidity and manage our cash flow. Such actions include reducing discretionary spending, optimizing working capital and deferring non-essential capital projects. To preserve liquidity in light of the uncertainty in the global markets due to COVID-19, in March 2020, we drew down a total of $90.0 million under our U.S. and Iceland revolving credit facilities. In the third quarter, we repaid $40.0 million on our U.S. revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining outstanding borrowings on the U.S. and Iceland revolving credit facilities were $50.0 million. We also effectively extended the maturities of our principal debt obligations. On July 1, 2020, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes and used the proceeds, together with cash on hand, to purchase all 2021 Notes tendered in a tender offer and to redeem all 2021 Notes that were not tendered. In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, we also entered into Amendment No.1 to our U.S. revolving credit facility extending the maturity date to May 16, 2023. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations is fluid and constantly evolving, we will continue to assess a variety of measures to improve our financial performance and liquidity. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for additional information.
Available Cash
Our available cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2020 was $81.4 million compared to $38.9 million at December 31, 2019.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our statements of cash flows are summarized below:

| Nine months ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019
| (in millions)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 33.3 |  |  | $ | (4.4) |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (11.4) |  |  | (29.4) |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 23.5 |  |  | 17.4 |
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 45.4 |  |  | $ | (16.4) |

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by improvements in working capital. The improvements in working capital were primarily attributable to lower raw material prices, timing of raw material receipts and the timing of trade receivable collection.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher spending on capital projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven by a higher level of capital investments in the Hawesville restart project during that period, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to outstanding borrowings on our U.S. revolving credit facility and Iceland revolving credit facility at September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, partially offset by payments on our Hawesville Term Loan. Borrowings on our revolving credit facilities are available, if needed, for working capital requirements, general corporate or other purposes.
Availability Under Our Credit Facilities
The U.S. revolving credit facility, dated May 2018, provides for borrowings of up to $175.0 million in the aggregate including up to $110.0 million under a letter of credit sub-facility, and also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby borrowers may increase the capacity of the U.S. revolving credit facility by up to $50.0 million, subject to agreement with the lenders. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on May 16, 2023.
Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
43

We have also entered into, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Nordural Grundartangi ehf ("Grundartangi"), a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, dated November 2013, as amended. The Iceland revolving credit facility matures in November 2022.
The availability of funds under our credit facilities is limited by a specified borrowing base consisting of certain accounts receivable, inventory and qualified cash deposits which meet the lenders' eligibility criteria. Increases in the price of aluminum and/or restarts of previously curtailed operations, for example, increase our borrowing base by increasing our accounts receivable and inventory balances; decreases in the price of aluminum and/or curtailment of production capacity would decrease our borrowing base by reducing our accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of September 30, 2020, our U.S. revolving credit facility had a borrowing base of $124.6 million, $5.0 million in borrowings and $36.6 million in letters of credit outstanding. Of the outstanding letters of credit, $15.7 million related to our domestic power commitments and the remainder secured certain debt and workers’ compensation commitments. As of September 30, 2020, our Iceland revolving credit facility had a borrowing base of $50.0 million an d $45.0 million in borrowing s.
As of September 30, 2020, our credit facilities had $88.0 million of net availability after consideration of our outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. We may borrow and make repayments under our credit facilities in the ordinary course based on a number of factors, including the timing of payments from our customers and payments to our suppliers.
Our credit facilities contain customary covenants, including restrictions on mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, affiliate transactions, liens, dividends and distributions, dispositions of collateral, investments and prepayments of indebtedness, including, a springing financial covenant that requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 any time availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than or equal to the lower of $17.5 million or 10% of the borrowing base but not less than $12.5 million. We intend to maintain availability to comply with these levels any time we would not meet the ratio, which could limit our ability to access the full amount of our availability under our U.S revolving credit facility. Our Iceland revolving credit facility also contains a covenant that requires Grundartangi to maintain a minimum equity ratio. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all such covenants or maintained availability above such covenant triggers.
Senior Secured Notes
We have $250.0 million aggregate principal of senior secured notes that will mature in June 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), unless earlier refinanced in accordance with their terms. Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021, at a rate of (i) 10.00% per annum in cash and (ii) 2.00% per annum in the form of additional notes or in cash, at Century's option. The indenture governing the 2025 Notes contains customary covenants which may limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur additional liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with shareholders or affiliates; and (ix) effect a consolidation or merger.
We applied the net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes described above, together with cash on hand, toward payment of the total consideration amount to holders whose 2021 Notes were accepted and purchased in the tender offer and to fund the redemption of any remaining 2021 Notes. As a result, the Company's and the guarantors' obligations under the indenture governing the 2021 Notes have been fully discharged.
Hawesville Term Loan
On April 29, 2019, we entered into a term loan agreement with Glencore Ltd. pursuant to which the Company borrowed $40.0 million (the "Hawesville Term Loan"). Borrowings under the Hawesville Term Loan were used to partially finance the second phase of the Hawesville restart project. The Hawesville Term Loan matures on December 31, 2021, and is to be repaid in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of principal that began on January 31, 2020. The Hawesville Term Loan bears interest, due monthly, at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.375% per annum. The Hawesville Term Loan is not secured by any collateral.
Contingent Commitments
We have a contingent obligation in connection with the "unwind" of a contractual arrangement between Century Aluminum of Kentucky ("CAKY"), Big Rivers and a third party and the execution of a long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy, a member of a cooperative of Big Rivers in July 2009. This contingent obligation consists of the aggregate payments made to Big Rivers by the third party on CAKY’s behalf in excess of the agreed upon base amount under the long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy. As of September 30, 2020, the principal and accrued interest for the contingent obligation was $26.3 million, which was fully offset by a derivative asset. We may be required to make installment payments for the contingent obligation in the future. These payments are contingent based on the LME price of primary aluminum and
44

the level of Hawesville’s operations. Based on the LME forward market at September 30, 2020 and management’s estimate of the LME forward market beyond the quoted market period, we believe that we will not be required to make payments on the contingent obligation during the term of the agreement, which expires in 2028. There can be no assurance that circumstances will not change, thus accelerating the timing of such payments.

In 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ("PBGC") regarding an alleged "cessation of operations" at our Ravenswood facility. 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. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of operations, we are able to defer one or more of these payments, but would then be required to provide the PBGC with acceptable security for deferred payments. We did not make any contributions in the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. We have elected to defer certain payments under the PBGC agreement and have provided the PBGC with the appropriate security. The remaining contributions under this agreement are approximately $9.6 million.
Section 232 Aluminum Tariff
On March 23, 2018, the U.S. implemented a 10% tariff on imported primary aluminum products into the U.S. These tariffs are intended to protect U.S. national security by incentivizing the restart of primary aluminum production in the U.S., reducing reliance on imports and ensuring that domestic producers, like Century, can supply all the aluminum necessary for critical industries and national defense. In addition to primary aluminum products, the tariffs also cover certain other semi-finished products. All imports that directly compete with our products are covered by the tariff, with the exception of imports from Australia, Argentina, Canada and Mexico or imports that receive a product exclusion from the Department of Commerce.
Other Items
In March 2018, we announced our intention to return our Hawesville smelter, which since 2015 had been operating at approximately 40% capacity, to full production and upgrade its existing reduction technology. The first phase of the project, which involved the restart of the three potlines and approximately 150,000 tonnes of production capacity that had been curtailed in 2015, was successfully completed on budget and ahead of schedule in early 2019. The second phase of the project involves the rebuilding of the pots associated with the 100,000 tonnes of production from the two potlines that had continued to operate past their expected life cycle and the implementation of certain new technology across all production. These two potlines were taken out of production in February and September 2019, respectively. The rebuild of the first of these potlines was completed in the second quarter of 2020. With the restart of this potline, the Hawesville smelter is currently operating at approximately 80% production capacity with total project costs to date of approximately $107.4 million. The rebuild of the fifth and final potline and the completion of the technology upgrades is expected to be completed over the next several years subject to market conditions.
In May 2018, we temporarily curtailed one potline at our Sebree aluminum smelter due to an equipment failure. Sebree was returned to full capacity by the end of the third quarter of 2018. We expect that all losses arising from the Sebree equipment failure will be covered under our insurance policies, less $7.0 million in deductibles. As of September 30, 2020, we have received $19.1 million in insurance proceeds to offset against such losses.
In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") filed a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"), the USW’s local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as class representatives ("CAWV Retirees"), seeking a declaration of CAWV’s rights to modify/terminate retiree medical benefits. Later in November 2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with respect to the foregoing. On August 18, 2017, the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia approved a settlement agreement in respect of these actions. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, CAWV agreed to make payments into a trust for the benefit of the CAWV Retirees in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million over the course of ten years. Upon approval of the settlement, we paid $5.0 million to the aforementioned trust in September 2017 and agreed to pay the remaining amounts under the settlement agreement in annual increments of $2.0 million for nine years. At September 30, 2020, we had $2.0 million in other current liabilities and $7.3 million in other liabilities related to this agreement.
We are a defendant in several actions relating to various aspects of our business. While it is impossible to predict the ultimate disposition of any litigation, we do not believe that any of these lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Capital Resources
We intend to finance our future capital expenditures from available cash, cash flow from operations and if necessary, borrowing under our existing revolving credit facilities. For major investment projects we would likely seek financing from various capital and loan markets, and may potentially pursue the formation of strategic alliances. We may be unable, however, to issue additional debt or equity securities, or enter into other financing arrangements on attractive terms, or at all, due to a number of factors including a lack of demand, unfavorable pricing, poor economic conditions, unfavorable interest rates, or our financial condition or credit rating at the time. Future uncertainty in the U.S. and international markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to access the debt or capital markets and our financial condition.
Capital expenditures incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $7.2 million, excluding expenditures of $4.7 million associated with the restart project at Hawesville. We estimate our total capital spending in 2020, excluding the Hawesville restart project, will be approximately $10.0 million related to ongoing investment projects at our plants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Commodity Price and Raw Material Costs Sensitivities
Aluminum is an internationally traded commodity, and its price is effectively determined on the LME plus any regional premium (e.g. the Midwest premium for aluminum sold in the United States and the European Duty Paid premium for metal sold into Europe) and any product premiums. From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in the LME price of primary aluminum and/or the regional premium through financial instruments designed to protect our downside price risk exposure. From time to time, we also enter into financial contracts to offset fixed price sales arrangements with certain of our customers (the "fixed for floating swaps").
We are also exposed to price risk for alumina which is one of the largest components of our cost of goods sold. Certain of the alumina we purchase is priced based on a published alumina index. As a result, our cost structure is exposed to market fluctuations and price volatility. Because we sell our products based principally on the LME price for primary aluminum, regional premiums and value-added product premiums, we are not able to directly pass on increased production costs to our customers. From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in our alumina costs by purchasing certain of our alumina requirements under supply contracts with prices tied to the same indices as our aluminum sales contracts (the LME price of primary aluminum).
Market-Based Power Price Sensitivity
Market-Based Electrical Power Agreements
Hawesville and Sebree have market-based electrical power agreements pursuant to which EDF and Kenergy purchase electrical power on the open market and pass it through at MISO energy pricing, plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. Seventy five percent (75%) of Mt. Holly's electric power requirements were supplied at rates based on natural gas prices. See Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information about these market-based power agreements.
Power is supplied to Grundartangi from hydroelectric and geothermal sources under long-term power purchase agreements. These power purchase agreements, which will expire on various dates from 2023 through 2036 (subject to extension), primarily provide power at LME-based variable rates. However, the price of approximately thirty percent (30%) of Grundartangi's power requirement is linked to the market price for power in the Nord Pool power market.
From time to time, we may manage our exposure to fluctuations in the market price of power through financial instruments designed to protect our downside risk exposure.
Electrical Power Price Sensitivity
With the movement toward market-based power supply agreements, we have increased our exposure to fluctuations in the price of power on the MISO and Nord Pool power markets as well as the price of natural gas. Power represents one of our largest operating costs, so changes in the price of market power could significantly impact the profitability and viability of our operations. Transmission line outages, problems with grid stability or limitations on energy import capability could also increase power prices, disrupt production through pot instability or force a curtailment of all or part of the production at these facilities. In addition, indirect factors that lead to power cost increases, such as any increasing prices for natural gas or coal, fluctuations in or extremes in weather patterns or new or more stringent environmental regulations may severely impact our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Foreign Currency
We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Icelandic krona ("ISK"), the Euro, the Chinese renminbi and other currencies. Grundartangi’s labor costs, part of its maintenance costs and other local services are denominated in ISK and a portion of its anode costs are denominated in Euros and Chinese renminbi. We also have deposits denominated in ISK in Icelandic banks and our estimated payments of Icelandic income taxes and any associated refunds are denominated in ISK. Further, Vlissingen's labor costs, maintenance costs and other local services are denominated in Euros and our existing Nord Pool power price swaps described above are settled in Euros. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would affect Grundartangi and Vlissingen’s operating margins.
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. We have entered into financial contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro under our Nord Pool power price swaps (the "FX swaps").
Natural Economic Hedges
Any analysis of our exposure to the commodity price of aluminum should consider the impact of natural hedges provided by certain contracts that contain pricing indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum. Certain of our alumina contracts and a substantial portion of Grundartangi’s electrical power requirements are indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum and provide a natural hedge for a portion of our production.
Risk Management
Any metals, power, natural gas and foreign currency risk management activities are subject to the control and direction of senior management within guidelines established by Century’s Board of Directors. These activities are regularly reported to Century’s Board of Directors.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a party from time to time in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For information regarding legal proceedings pending against us at September 30, 2020, refer to Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following is an update to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Other than the following update, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. 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.
If we are unable to enter into a long term, market-based, power arrangement for Mt. Holly, we may choose, or be forced, to further curtail operations at the Mt. Holly plant.
Mt. Holly purchases power pursuant to a power purchase agreement (the "Santee Cooper Agreement") with the South Carolina Public Service Authority ("Santee Cooper"). The term of the Santee Cooper Agreement expires on December 31, 2020. Under the Santee Cooper Agreement, Mt. Holly is required to purchase 25% of its power requirements from Santee Cooper's generation at a standard cost-based industrial rate, which is substantially higher than the market-based rate Mt. Holly pays for the remaining 75% of its power. Mt. Holly's inability to access the open market for 100% of its power requirements significantly impacts its ability to be competitive in the aluminum industry. As a result of such uncompetitive power prices, in 2015 Mt. Holly curtailed approximately 50% of its production capacity. We continue to seek the ability to access the open market for 100% of our power requirements at Mt. Holly and to pursue every reasonable alternative available to us to achieve this objective. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts before the Santee Cooper Agreement expires on December 31, 2020. If we are unable to secure a long term power arrangement for 100% of Mt. Holly's power requirements on competitive terms before December 31, 2020, we may choose, or be forced, to further curtail operations at the plant. On October 20, 2020, we issued a notice to Mt. Holly employees of our intent to curtail 100% of the Mt. Holly smelter operations by no later than December 31, 2020 if a competitively priced power arrangement has not been secured.
Closure of the Mt. Holly facility would impose various costs on us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and could cause us to write down the book value of the Mt. Holly facility. In addition, the ongoing uncertainty regarding the future operation of Mt. Holly may damage our relationships with our customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders, whether or not Mt. Holly is ultimately closed. We may need to take actions to terminate certain customer and supply contracts or curtail additional production 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.

Item 5. Other Information
Disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act
Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”), effective August 10, 2012, added a new subsection (r) to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, which requires issuers that file periodic reports with the SEC to disclose in their annual and quarterly reports whether, during the reporting period, they or any of their
“affiliates” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) have knowingly engaged in specified activities or
transactions relating to Iran, including activities not prohibited by U.S. law and conducted outside the U.S. by non-
U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable laws. Issuers must also file a notice with the SEC if any disclosable
activity under ITRA has been included in an annual or quarterly report.
Because the SEC defines the term “affiliate” broadly, our largest stockholder may be considered an affiliate of the
Company despite the fact that the Company has no control over its largest stockholder’s actions or the actions of its
affiliates. As such, pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(iii) of the Exchange Act, the Company hereby discloses the
following information provided by our largest stockholder regarding transactions or dealings with entities controlled
by the Government of Iran (“the GOI”):
During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, non-U.S. affiliates of the largest stockholder of the Company (“the non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates”) entered into sales contracts for agricultural products with, or for delivery to or from Iranian entities wholly or majority owned by the GOI. The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates performed their obligations under the contracts in compliance with applicable sanction laws and, where required, with the necessary prior approvals by the relevant governmental authorities.
The gross revenue of the non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates related to the contracts did not exceed the value of USD $131 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates do not allocate net profit on a country-by-country or activity-by-activity basis, but estimate that the net profit attributable to the contracts would not exceed a small fraction of the gross revenue from such contracts. It is not possible to determine accurately the precise net profit attributable to such contracts.
The contracts disclosed above do not violate applicable sanctions laws administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, and are not the subject of any enforcement action under Iran sanction laws.
The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliates expect to continue to engage in similar activities in the future in compliance with applicable economic sanctions and in conformity with U.S. secondary sanctions.
The Company and its global subsidiaries had no transactions or activities requiring disclosure under ITRA, nor were we involved in the transactions described in this section. As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any other activity, transaction or dealing by it or any of its affiliates during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
