Operating results for the first three months of 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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.
