2.    Related Party Transactions
The significant related party transactions occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are described below. All of our related party transactions are subject to the Company's Related Party Transaction Policy and are required to be made on an arm's length basis and on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company and substantially the same as would
apply if the other party was not a related party. We believe all of our transactions with related parties are at prices that approximate market.
Glencore Ownership
As of March 31, 2026, Glencore plc and its affiliates (together "Glencore") beneficially owned 30.0% of Century’s outstanding common stock. Century and Glencore enter into various transactions from time to time, such as the purchase and sale of primary aluminum, alumina and other raw materials; tolling agreements; forward financial contracts and borrowing and other debt transactions.
Sales to Glencore
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we derived approximately 47.1% and 59.7%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales from Glencore.
Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our U.S. smelters at prices based on the London Metal Exchange ("LME") plus the Midwest regional delivery premium plus any additional market-based product premiums. Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our Grundartangi, Iceland smelter at prices based on the LME plus the European Duty Paid premium plus any additional market-based product premiums.
We have entered into agreements with Glencore pursuant to which we sell certain amounts of alumina at market-based prices. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $61.3 million and $78.4 million, respectively, of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore.
