CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

(amounts 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, 2013. 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 three months of 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. 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.


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 annualized hot metal production capacity of 205,000 tonnes 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 March 31, 2014. The remaining portion of the purchase price, if any, will be paid following final determination of the applicable working capital adjustments. We are working with RTA to resolve our disagreement relating to the working capital amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in the purchase agreement. We expect the matter to be resolved by the end of the second quarter of 2014. As part of the transaction, RTA retained all historical environmental liabilities of the Sebree smelter and funded the pension plan assumed by Century 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."

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. We have finalized the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the final purchase price and gain on bargain purchase are preliminary and subject to change based on any working capital adjustments that occur prior to June 1, 2014, which is the limit of the measurement period for this acquisition.

Based on the purchase price allocation, we recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $5,253 in 2013. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Total liabilities assumed	$	61,565
Gain on bargain purchase:	$	5,253

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 reflects our results of continuing operations as if the acquisition of Sebree had been completed on January 1, 2013. 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, 2013, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined companies.



	Three months ended March 31,
	2013
Pro forma revenues	$	447,698
Pro forma loss from continuing operations	(1,187		)
Loss per common share, basic	(0.01		)
Loss per common share, diluted	(0.01		)

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes a non-recurring credit for the amortization of the deferred power contract liability of $5,534. As part of the Sebree acquisition, we recorded a $36,625 liability for an unfavorable power contract we assumed. The fair value measurement of the power contract was based on the difference between the forecasted contract rate and estimated market power rates through the contract termination date in January 2014. We amortized the power contract liability over the remaining period of the contract through January 31, 2014, resulting in a credit to our depreciation and amortization expense within cost of goods sold on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


3.	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 and Disclosures."

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("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. 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.

Midwest premium contracts

We entered into a fixed-price forward contract that settled monthly from January 2014 to March 2014 based on the

Midwest Premium price published in the Platts Metals Week for the applicable period. Losses associated with the settlements of the U.S. Midwest premium contracts were recorded in net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts on the consolidated

statement of operations.

Primary aluminum sales contract

We had a contract to sell to Glencore Xstrata plc (together with its subsidiaries, "Glencore") primary aluminum produced at Mt. Holly, Hawesville and Sebree through December 31, 2013 (the "Glencore Metal Agreement"). The Glencore Metal Agreement was a physical delivery contract for primary aluminum with variable, LME-based pricing. Under the Glencore Metal Agreement, pricing was 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 accounted for the Glencore Metal Agreement as a derivative instrument under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging." Gains and losses on the derivative were based on the difference between the contracted U.S. Midwest premium and actual and forecasted U.S. Midwest premiums. Settlements were recorded in related party sales. Unrealized gains (losses) based on forecasted U.S. Midwest premiums were recorded in net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts on the consolidated statements of operations.

(1)	Represents the remaining physical deliveries under the Glencore Metal Agreement.

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.

5.	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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	For the three months ended March 31,
	2014							2013
	Loss			Shares (000)	Per-Share			Income			Shares (000)	Per-Share
Net income (loss)	$	(20,104	)					$	8,253
Amount allocated to common shareholders (1)	100		%					91.69		%
Basic EPS:
Income (loss) allocable to common shareholders	(20,104		)	88,717	$	(0.23	)	7,567			88,555	$	0.09
Effect of Dilutive Securities:
Share-based compensation plans	—			—				—			465
Diluted EPS:
Income (loss) applicable to common shareholders with assumed conversion	$	(20,104	)	88,717	$	(0.23	)	$	7,567		89,020	$	0.09


(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.



Antidilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS:	Three months ended March 31,
	2014	2013

Stock options (1)	603,032	347,934
Service-based share awards (1)	442,456	—


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


6.	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.

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Stock Repurchase Program

In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a 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.

From August 11, 2011 through March 31, 2014, we repurchased 4,786,521 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $49,924. We have made no repurchases since March 2012 and had approximately $10,076 remaining under the repurchase program authorization as of March 31, 2014.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Glencore holds all shares of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 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.

7.	Income taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,094, which primarily consisted of foreign and state income taxes. 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 three months ended March 31, 2013 of $2,517, which primarily consisted of foreign and state income taxes.

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 requirements for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance, causes a significant variation in the typical relationship between income tax expense and pretax accounting income. For the first quarter of 2014, the application of our effective tax rate resulted in a benefit primarily due to not recognizing the benefit of current period losses in certain domestic jurisdictions where it is not more likely than not that such benefits would be realized.

(Unaudited)

As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, is not more likely than not to be achieved.

Our Icelandic tax returns are subject to examination beginning with the 2008 tax year. Our 2010 through 2012 tax years are currently under review by the Directorate of Internal Revenue of Iceland.

U.S. 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, BNP Paribas, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as lenders, entered into the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "U.S. revolving credit facility"), dated May 24, 2013, as amended, modifying the credit facility signed July 1, 2010. The U.S. revolving credit facility has a term through May 24, 2018 and provides for borrowings of up to $150,000 in the aggregate, including up to $80,000 under a letter of credit sub-facility. Any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility reduce our borrowing availability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

7.5% Notes due 2021

General. On June 4, 2013, we issued $250,000 of our 7.5% Notes due 2021 in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 7.5% Notes due 2021 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 due 2021 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 due 2021 mature on June 1, 2021.

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 the long-term cost-based power contract with Kenergy, a member cooperative of Big Rivers (the "Big Rivers Agreement"). Our obligation to make repayments is contingent upon certain operating criteria for Hawesville 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 March 31, 2014 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 $353 and $15,722 in net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, 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:

10.	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 $1,113 and $999 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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. The groundwater treatment system ceased operations in May 2010 and was decommissioned and removed from site in 2012. Quarterly monitoring of specific wells is ongoing.

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.

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 March 31, 2014, we have expended approximately $1,033 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.

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

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 trial is currently scheduled to commence on June 24, 2014.

In December 2006, Vialco and the succeeding owners of the St. Croix Alumina Refinery were named as defendants in a separate 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. On March 19, 2012, the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the settling defendants in the DPNR case described above from this action. On May 9, 2012, the court granted plaintiff's motion to dismiss leaving Vialco as the only remaining defendant in this action. No additional developments have occurred on this case since March 2012.

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, holding 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. No further developments have occurred.

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. 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 motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims, but the court has not yet ruled on the motions. At this time, it is not practicable to predict the ultimate outcome of or to estimate a range of possible losses for 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, 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.

When we have assessed that a loss associated with legal contingencies is reasonably possible, we determine if estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses are in excess of related accrued liabilities, if any. Based on current knowledge, management has ascertained estimates for losses that are reasonably possible and management does not believe that any reasonably possible outcomes in excess of our accruals, if any, either individually or in aggregate, would be material to our

CENTURY ALUMINUM COMPANY

financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. We reevaluate and update our assessments and accruals as matters progress over time.

In December 2013, we received a ruling in the arbitration of a lawsuit filed by our former Chief Executive Officer, Logan Kruger. In the lawsuit, Mr. Kruger alleged that Century had breached the employment and severance protection agreements between Century and Mr. Kruger and that Century was obligated to make various severance payments to him in excess of $20,000. In its ruling, the arbitration panel awarded Mr. Kruger approximately $8,700 in severance payments, plus accrued interest, but rejected Mr. Kruger’s claims for further severance payments and held that Mr. Kruger had forfeited all of his outstanding incentive awards upon his resignation from Century. We recorded a net charge of approximately $8,400 in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In April 2013, our subsidiary Nordural Grundartangi ehf received a ruling in an arbitration case involving two of its power suppliers, HS Orka hf ("HS") and Orkuveita Reykjavikur ("OR"). Under the arbitration award, Nordural Grundartangi ehf is restricted from reducing power under its existing power contracts with HS and OR in order to take power under a separate power contract with OR originally intended to be used at Helguvik. Nordural Grundartangi ehf remains entitled to take power under the OR 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 damages and Nordural Grundartangi ehf paid $1,470 to HS 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 OR as part of the arbitration, OR has subsequently alleged damages against Nordural Grundartangi ehf. We intend to defend ourselves against these claims and expect that any possible losses incurred in the ultimate resolution of this dispute in excess of the amount accrued will not be material.

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 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 any modifications to the retiree medical benefits while these lawsuits are pending, which was dismissed by the trial court, and affirmed upon appeal. The case in chief is currently proceeding in the trial court.

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. During 2013, we made contributions pursuant to this agreement of approximately $6,700. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of 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. In the first quarter of 2014, we elected to defer contributions under the PBGC agreement and have provided the PBGC with the appropriate security.

Power Commitments

Hawesville

In August 2012, CAKY issued a 12-month notice to terminate its long-term power supply arrangement with Kenergy. 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 which provides market-based 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 Midcontinent Independent System Operator ("MISO") pricing plus transmission and other costs incurred by them. In connection with the new power arrangement, CAKY has received approval from applicable regional transmission organizations and regulatory bodies regarding grid stability and energy import capability.

Sebree

In January 2013, Sebree (then still owned by RTA) issued a 12-month notice to terminate its long-term power supply agreement (the "Sebree Power Agreement") with Kenergy. Pursuant to the termination notice, the Sebree Power Agreement terminated on January 31, 2014. The KPSC approved a new power supply arrangement with Kenergy and Big Rivers which provides market-based power to the Sebree smelter, effective February 1, 2014. 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 incurred by them.

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 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 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 and other parties regarding power arrangements for Mt. Holly following December 31, 2015. The deadline to give notice to reduce the contract demand to zero effective December 31, 2015 is June 30, 2014.

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, Landsvirkjun and 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 is currently being utilized at Grundartangi.

In June 2012, Nordural Grundartangi ehf 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 ehf with supplemental power, as Nordural Grundartangi ehf may request from time to time, at LME-based variable rates. Nordural Grundartangi ehf 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 March 31, 2014, 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 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 ehf is in discussions with both HS and OR with respect to such conditions and other matters pertaining to these agreements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Labor Commitments

Approximately 73% 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 that expires on March 31, 2015. The Sebree employees represented by the USWA are under a collective bargaining agreement that expires on October 28, 2014.

In April 2010, Nordural Grundartangi ehf entered into a new labor agreement with the five labor unions representing approximately 82% of Grundartangi’s work force. The labor agreement expires on December 31, 2014.

In July 2013, Century Vlissingen entered into a collective labor agreement with Vlissingen employees represented by the Federation for the Metal and Electrical Industry ("FME") which comprise approximately 77% of Vlissingen's work force. The labor agreement expires on May 1, 2015.

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


11.	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.

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

Results of Operations

The following discussion reflects our historical results of operations.

Century’s financial highlights include:



	Three months ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(In thousands, except per share data)
NET SALES:
Third-party customers	$	135,264		$	188,514
Related parties	285,583			132,760
Total	$	420,847		$	321,274
Gross profit (loss)	$	(1,758	)	$	17,582
Net income (loss)	$	(20,104	)	$	8,253
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic and Diluted	$	(0.23	)	$	0.09



	Three months ended March 31,
	2014	2013
Shipments – primary aluminum (tonnes):
Direct	173,296	93,472
Toll	33,489	65,304
Total	206,785	158,776



Net sales (in millions)	2014		2013		$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	420.8	$	321.3	$	99.5	31.0	%

Higher shipment volumes, due to the acquisition of the Sebree smelter on June 1, 2013 and the replacement of a tolling contract that expired December 31, 2013 with a direct sales contract at Grundartangi, had a $137.3 million positive impact on net sales. Direct shipments from our four operating smelters increased 79,824 tonnes in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Toll shipments decreased 31,815 tonnes relative to the same period last year. Lower price realizations for our primary aluminum shipments in the three months ended March 31, 2014 were due to lower LME prices for primary aluminum, which were partially offset by increased regional and product premiums. The lower price realizations resulted in a $37.8 million decrease in sales.



Gross profit (loss) (in millions)	2014			2013		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	(1.8	)	$	17.6	$	(19.4	)	(110.2	)%

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, lower price realizations, net of LME-based power cost and alumina, decreased gross profit by $29.9 million, while increased volume due to the acquisition of the Sebree smelter and the mix shift between toll and direct sales at Grundartangi increased gross profit by $5.7 million. In addition, we experienced $7.6 million in net cost increases at our owned smelters (excluding Sebree) relative to the same period in 2013, comprised of: higher costs for power and natural gas at our U.S. smelters of $7.5 million; lower costs for materials, supplies and maintenance of $3.4 million; other cost decreases of $1.6 million; increased depreciation of $2.0 million and an increase in our accrual for legal matters of $3.1 million.

As part of the accounting for the purchase of the Sebree smelter, we recorded a $36.6 million estimated liability for the power contract we assumed based on the difference between the forecasted contract rates and market power rates through the

contract termination date in January 2014. This liability was fully 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 months ended March 31, 2014, the credit for the amortization of the power contract was $5.5 million.

As of March 31, 2014, 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 $0.1 million which was $1.1 million less than the reserve recorded at December 31, 2013. This resulted in a credit to cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2013, the market value of our inventory was below its cost basis, resulting in the recording of an LCM inventory reserve of $5.8 million and a charge to cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $5.8 million. This resulted in a quarter to quarter increase in gross profit of $6.9 million.



Other operating expense – net (in millions)	2014		2013		$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	2.4	$	1.1	$	1.3	118.2	%

Other operating expense – net is primarily related to items associated with Ravenswood. Period to period charges at the facility have been relatively stable, except in the first quarter of 2013 we reduced an accrual for a legal liability that was ultimately settled for an amount lower than the original accrual.



Selling, general and administrative expenses (in millions)	2014		2013		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	10.1	$	16.3	$	(6.2	)	(38.0	)%

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced decreased selling, general and administrative expenses due to a reduction in external legal and outside professional service support and the absence of the relocation and severance expenses we incurred in the first quarter of 2013 to move our headquarters to Chicago. In addition, we incurred $2.8 million of general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2013 related to the integration of the Century Vlissingen anode facility into our business. Century Vlissingen is now producing anodes and its costs are included in cost of goods sold.



Net gain (loss) on forward and derivative contracts (in millions)	2014			2013		$ Difference			% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	(0.9	)	$	15.5	$	(16.4	)	(105.8	)%

The net loss on forward and derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of settlements of contracts put in place to provide partial downside price protection for our domestic facilities. As of March 31, 2014, all of these contracts were settled. The net gain on forward and derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 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 $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.



Income tax benefit (expense) (in millions)	2014		2013			$ Difference		% Difference
Three months ended March 31,	$	1.1	$	(2.5	)	$	3.6	(144.0	)%

Our income tax benefit (expense) is based on a forecasted annual effective tax rate applied to current period results, as well as the tax effects of certain discrete items. The application of the requirements for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance against all of Century's U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets, can cause significant variations in the typical relationship between income tax benefit (expense) and pretax income. For the first quarter of 2014, our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 5.3%. For the first quarter of 2013, our effective income tax rate was an expense of 25.6%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are available cash, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. We have also raised capital in the past through the public equity and debt markets and we regularly explore various other financing alternatives. Our principal uses of cash are the funding of operating costs (including post-retirement 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, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2014 was approximately $52 million compared to approximately $84 million at December 31, 2013. Century's U.S. revolving credit facility matures in May 2018 and our Iceland revolving credit facility matures in November 2016. As of March 31, 2014, our credit facilities had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $129 million of aggregate net availability. As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $71 million of letters of credit outstanding under our U.S. revolving credit facility. We 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. Borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 on a gross basis were approximately $18.9 million and $24.9 million, respectively. During the same period, total outstanding indebtedness under our credit facilities at any given time did not exceed $16.7 million. The availability of funds under our credit facilities is limited by a specified borrowing base consisting of certain accounts receivable and inventory. Future curtailments of production capacity would reduce accounts receivable and inventory, which comprise the borrowing base of our revolving credit facilities, and could result in a corresponding reduction in availability under the revolving credit facilities. The acquisition of the Sebree smelter increased domestic accounts receivable and inventory and resulted in a corresponding increase in availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility.

We have $250 million in 7.5% senior secured notes payable that will mature on June 1, 2021. Our remaining 7.5% senior unsecured notes due August 2014 will reach maturity this year, and we expect to make a $2.6 million repayment to retire these notes in the third quarter of 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the principal and accrued interest for the E.ON contingent obligation was $17.1 million, which was fully offset by a derivative asset. 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 March 31, 2014 and management’s estimate of the LME forward market beyond the quoted market period, we currently believe that we will not be required to make payments on the E.ON contingent obligation during the term of the agreement through 2028. There can be no assurance that circumstances will not change thus accelerating the timing of such payments. See Note 4 Derivative and hedging instruments and Note 9 Debt to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $60 million common stock repurchase program. Through March 31, 2014, we had expended approximately $50 million under the program, but no repurchases have been made since March 2012. At March 31, 2014, we had approximately $10 million remaining under the repurchase program authorization. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by our Board, in its sole discretion, 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. 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. The remaining contributions under this agreement are approximately $10.7 million, of which approximately $3.7 million was scheduled to be made in 2014. Under certain circumstances, in periods of lower primary aluminum prices relative to our cost of 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. In the first quarter of 2014, we elected to defer contributions under the PBGC agreement and have provided the PBGC with the appropriate security.

In addition to the contributions required pursuant to the PBGC settlement, based on current actuarial and other assumptions, we expect to make minimum required contributions to the qualified defined benefit plans and unqualified

supplemental executive retirement benefits ("SERB") plan of approximately $4.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, during 2014. We may choose to make additional contributions to these plans from time to time at our discretion.

In May 2014, we expect to receive approximately $5.5 million from receivables related to adjustments under certain of our power contracts.

In May 2014, we expect to pay withholding taxes of approximately $2.8 million, which we anticipate will be refunded in November 2015. In November 2014, we expect to receive a refund for withholding taxes paid in 2013 of $9.8 million. 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 December 2013, we received a ruling in the arbitration of a lawsuit filed by our former Chief Executive Officer, Logan Kruger. In its ruling, the arbitration panel awarded Mr. Kruger approximately $8.7 million in severance payments, plus accrued interest. We made the severance payment in the first quarter of 2014 and no additional payments related to this issue are expected in future periods.

In June 2012, Nordural Grundartangi ehf 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 ehf with supplemental power, as Nordural Grundartangi ehf may request from time to time, at LME-based variable rates. Nordural Grundartangi ehf 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 March 31, 2014, 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 facilities. 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 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $15.5 million, of which $6.1 million was related to the Grundartangi expansion project and $5.7 million was related to the Century Vlissingen restart. The remaining amounts are related to upgrading production equipment, improving facilities and complying with environmental requirements. We believe capital spending in 2014, excluding any expansion of the current production capacity at Century Vlissingen, will be approximately $50 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 March 31, 2014. The remaining portion of the purchase price, if any, will be paid following final determination of the applicable working capital adjustments. We are working with RTA to resolve our disagreement relating to the working capital amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in the purchase agreement. We expect the matter to be resolved by the end of the second quarter of 2014. The transaction was funded with 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 tonnes of annual anode capacity at Century Vlissingen, we have made approximately $23.9 million in aggregate capital expenditures through March 31, 2014. The first 75,000 tonnes of capacity was restarted in late 2013 and will provide an anode supply to Grundartangi to replace third-party anode supply contracts that terminated in 2013. We may increase production capacity to 150,000 tonnes when we conclude it is feasible and advantageous to do so.

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 and other costs would be approximately $20 million, of which we currently have accrued liabilities of approximately $12.8 million. We are continuing to negotiate with the power suppliers to the project to, among other things, 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 less than $0.5 million per year until the restart of major construction activities. We cannot, at this time, predict when the restart of major construction activity will occur.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)

We use certain non-GAAP measures when reviewing our operating results, including adjusted operating income (loss). We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items from the statement of cash flows and certain non-recurring items.

Our calculations of adjusted operating income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components used in their calculations. We believe the presentation of adjusted operating income (loss) is a useful measure to help investors evaluate our capacity to fund our ongoing cash operating requirements, including capital expenditures and debt service obligations. Adjusted operating income (loss) should not be considered as a substitute for operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. The following tables include reconciliations of adjusted operating income (loss) to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Historical

Our statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below:



	Three months ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(10,741	)	$	22,401
Net cash used in investing activities	(14,852		)	(10,906		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(5,997		)	—
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(31,590	)	$	11,495

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $10.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $22.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in cash from operations in 2014 was due to lower adjusted operating income (loss) of approximately $22 million compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to higher power costs and lower LME pricing, a separation payment to our former CEO of approximately $10 million in 2014, and an increase in the cash used for working capital of approximately $12 million

in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013. These increases in cash used were partially offset by payments of income and withholding taxes in the first quarter of 2013 of approximately $11 million compared to approximately $2 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Our net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $14.9 million, compared to $10.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in cash used was primarily due to capital expenditures for the Vlissingen restart project. The increase was offset slightly by a decrease in restricted cash deposits of $0.7 million and lower capital expenditures for the Helguvik project for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Our net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $6.0 million, which was related to net repayments under our revolving credit facilities of $6.0 million.

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 10 Commitments and contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Commodity Price Sensitivity

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. 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.

Apart from the Glencore Grundartangi Metal Agreement, the Southwire Metal Agreement and the Glencore Sweep

Agreement (which expired at the end of 2013), we had the following forward delivery contractual commitments:

Other forward delivery contracts



	March 31, 2014	December 31, 2013
	(in tonnes)
Other forward delivery contracts – total	101,649	118,373
Other forward delivery contracts – Glencore	23,692	20,008
Other forward delivery contracts – fixed price	52	—

We had no outstanding primary aluminum forward financial sales contracts at March 31, 2014. We had no fixed price forward financial contracts to purchase aluminum at March 31, 2014.

Market-Based Power Price Sensitivity

Market-Based Electrical Power Agreement

Hawesville and Sebree terminated their long-term cost-based electrical power agreements with Kenergy and Big Rivers in August 2013 and January 2014, respectively. The KPSC has approved new power supply agreements with Kenergy and Big Rivers to provide market-based electrical power to the Hawesville smelter, effective August 20, 2013 and to the Sebree smelter, effective February 1, 2014. Under the market-based power agreements, Kenergy and Big Rivers purchase market-based electrical power on the open market and pass it through to Hawesville and Sebree at MISO pricing, plus transmission and other costs incurred by them.

Electrical Power Price Sensitivity

We are exposed to market price risk due to fluctuations in the price of power available on the MISO market. Power represents our single largest operating cost, so changes in the price and/or availability of market-based power could significantly impact the profitability of Hawesville and Sebree. In addition, indirect factors that lead to power cost increases, such as increasing market 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.



Electrical power price sensitivity by location:
	Hawesville		Sebree		Total
Expected average load (in MW)	482		385		867
Quarterly estimated electrical power usage (in MWh)	1,055,580		843,150		1,898,730
Quarterly cost impact of an increase or decrease of $1 per MWh (in thousands)	$	1,100	$	800	$	1,900
Annual expected electrical power usage (in MWh)	4,222,320		3,372,600		7,594,920
Annual cost impact of an increase or decrease of $1 per MWh (in thousands)	$	4,200	$	3,400	$	7,600

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.

Forwards and Financial Purchase Agreements

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, the 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 may incur further capital expenditures for Century Vlissingen in future periods. In addition, Century Vlissingen's labor costs, maintenance costs and other local services are 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. Upon a restart of major construction for the Helguvik project, we have forecasted that a significant portion of the capital expenditures would 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 March 31, 2014, we had no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding.

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, as well as certain of Grundartangi’s electrical power and tolling contracts, are indexed to the LME price for primary aluminum and provide a natural hedge for a portion of our production.

Risk Management

Our 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014.

b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On June 1, 2013, we acquired the Sebree smelter and we are currently in the process of extending our internal control over financial reporting to Sebree's operations.

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 position, operating results and cash flows. For information regarding legal proceedings pending against us at March 31, 2014, refer to Note 10 Commitments and contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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.

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 (“GOI”):

During the first quarter of 2014, a non-U.S. affiliate of the largest stockholder of the Company (“non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliate”) entered into sales contracts for agricultural products with Iranian entities wholly or majority owned by the GOI. All contracts 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 Affiliate related to these contracts did not exceed the value of $107 million for the first quarter of 2014 ended March 31, 2014. The non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliate does not allocate net profit on a country-by-country or activity-by-activity basis, but estimates the net profit attributable to the contracts with the GOI 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 these contracts.

These 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.

In compliance with applicable economic sanctions and in conformity with U.S. secondary sanctions, the non-U.S. Stockholder Affiliate expects to continue to engage in similar activities in 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 quarter ended March 31, 2014 that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
