General | General The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Century Aluminum Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the first six months of 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. Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of the Jamalco joint venture, an unincorporated joint venture between the Company and Clarendon Alumina Production Limited. Clarendon Alumina Production's interest in the joint venture is reflected as noncontrolling interest on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
