3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

On May 2, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Jamaica Holdings, Inc., completed the acquisition of all the outstanding share capital of General Alumina Holdings Limited, the holder of a 55% interest in Jamalco JV ("Jamalco"), an unincorporated joint venture engaged in bauxite mining and alumina production in Jamaica. The remaining 45% interest in Jamalco is owned by Clarendon Alumina Production Limited ("CAP"), which is owned by the Government of Jamaica. The results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The purchase price of the acquisition was $1.00, primarily due to the seller experiencing financial distress following curtailment of Jamalco's operations in the second half of 2021 due to a facility fire, with operations restarting in the second half of 2022.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations, resulting in the Company recognizing the assets and liabilities at fair value with the excess over fair value of consideration transferred to the seller presented as a bargain purchase gain of $245.9 million recognized within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company finalized its purchase accounting as of March 31, 2024.
