AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Century Aluminum (CENX)

Century Aluminum Q4 sales rise 17% on quarter; Q1 EBITDA guide $75-85 million

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Century Aluminum reported fourth-quarter 2024 net sales of $631.0 million, up 17% from the third quarter, and net income attributable to stockholders of $47.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. Full-year net income of $339.4 million was lifted by a $245.9 million bargain purchase gain tied to the Jamalco acquisition, while full-year adjusted net income was $104.0 million, or $1.11 per share. The company expects first-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million to $85 million, a range whose midpoint is below the $82.4 million reported for the fourth quarter.

Key points

  • Q4 2024 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to stockholders was $82.4 million, down $21.3 million from the third quarter, which the company linked to a one-time Section 45X true-up recorded in the third quarter.
  • Full-year 2024 net income attributable to Century stockholders was $339.4 million, or $3.29 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $43.1 million in 2023.
  • Full-year 2024 adjusted net income was $104.0 million, or $1.11 per share, compared with $30.7 million, or $0.33 per share, in 2023.
  • First-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $75 million to $85 million, based on improved metal pricing and regional premiums offset by higher energy and raw material costs.
