- Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to interim consolidated financial statements - unaudited to “Kaiser,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “our Company” refer collectively to Kaiser Aluminum Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable for interim periods and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. We have reclassified certain items in prior periods to conform to current classifications. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire 2025 fiscal year. The financial information as of December 31, 2024 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the change in accounting principle disclosed in Note 14 of Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Change in Accounting Principle. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its inventory valuation methodology from LIFO to WAC for its finished products, work-in-process, and raw material inventories. This change is preferable because the Company believes that it improves the comparability of the Company's operational results between periods by removing LIFO income or charge in a period resulting from LIFO valuation and changes to historical LIFO layers. Additionally, the Company believes that the new valuation methodology better reflects the physical flow of goods and simplifies the financial close process by utilizing the WAC valuation methodology for all internal and external reporting purposes. The effects of this change have been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the change in inventory valuation methodology.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Disclosure Improvements. In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-06 (“ASU 2023-06”), Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The guidance amends GAAP to reflect updates and simplifications to certain disclosure requirements referred to the FASB by the SEC. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC does not remove the related disclosure, the pending amendment will be removed from ASC 2023-06 and it will not be effective. Adoption of ASU 2023-06 is expected to modify the disclosure and presentation requirements only and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the annual income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We plan to adopt the provisions of ASU 2023-09 prospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires additional, disaggregated disclosure about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We plan to adopt the provisions of ASU 2024-03 prospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027 and continue to evaluate the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 (“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides entities with a practical expedient to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 (“ASU 2025-06”), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which improves the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. The amendments may be applied by using a prospective transition approach, a retrospective transition approach, or a modified transition approach based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

- Derivatives, Hedging Programs and Other Financial Instruments
Overview
We utilize derivative instruments to manage exposure to: (i) metal price risk related to aluminum and certain alloys used as raw material for our fabrication operations; (ii) energy price risk related to natural gas and electricity used in our production processes; and (iii) foreign currency exchange rate risk related to certain equipment and service agreements. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. All hedging transactions are executed centrally and are overseen by a committee (“Hedging Committee”) composed of key operations and finance personnel from the management team. The scope of the Hedging Committee’s activities is reviewed with our Board of Directors.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative instruments. Our counterparties are major investment-grade financial institutions or trading companies, and our hedging transactions are governed by negotiated International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements, which generally require collateral to be posted by our counterparties above specified credit thresholds, which may adjust up or down based on changes credit ratings. As a result, we believe the risk of loss is remote and contained. The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments that were in a net liability position was$0.1 million and$0.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We hadno collateral posted as of those dates.
In addition, our firm-price customer sales commitments create incremental customer credit risk related to metal price movements. Under certain circumstances, we mitigate this risk by periodically requiring cash collateral to be posted by our customers, which we classify as deferred revenue and include as a component of Other accrued liabilities. We hadno cash collateral posted by our customers at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The above described derivative instruments are typically designated as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses associated with our cash flow hedges are deferred in Other comprehensive income, net of tax, and reclassified to COGS when such hedges settle or when it is probable that the original forecasted transactions will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. See Note 8 for the total amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedging instruments that was reported in AOCI, as well as the related reclassifications into earnings and tax effects. Cumulative gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are reclassified out of AOCI and recorded within COGS when the associated hedged commodity purchases impact earnings.
From time to time, we enter into commodity and foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate certain short‑term impacts, as identified. The gain or loss on these commodity and foreign currency derivatives is recognized within COGS and Other income, net, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we hadno outstanding non-designated derivative hedge positions.

Fair Values of Derivative Contracts
The fair values of our derivative contracts are based upon trades in liquid markets. Valuation model inputs can be verified, and valuation techniques do not involve significant judgment. The fair values of such derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
All of our derivative contracts with counterparties are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. We reflect the fair value of our derivative contracts on a gross basis on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities (in millions of dollars):

All Other Financial Assets and Liabilities. We believe that the carrying amounts of our accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature and nominal credit risk.
- Debt and Credit Facility
Senior Notes
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding fixed-rate unsecured Senior Notes with varying maturity dates. The stated interest rates and aggregate principal amounts of such Senior Notes were, respectively: (i)4.625% and $500.0 million (“4.625% Senior Notes”) and (ii)4.50% and $550.0 million (“4.50% Senior Notes”). Our Senior Notes do not require us to make any mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments. The following table summarizes key details of our Senior Notes:
| Outstanding (in millions of dollars) | |||||

Revolving Credit Facility
In October 2019, we entered into a Revolving Credit Facility. Joining us as borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility are four of our wholly owned domestic operating subsidiaries: (i) Kaiser Aluminum Investments Company; (ii) Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products, LLC; (iii) Kaiser Aluminum Washington, LLC; and (iv) Kaiser Aluminum Warrick, LLC (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”). On October 14, 2025, we entered into amendment No. 5 to our Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 15, for details regarding the revised terms of the Revolving Credit Facility as amended.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a maximum commitment amount of $575.0 million (of which up to a maximum of $50.0 million may be utilized for letters of credit) and, prior to the October 14, 2025 amendment, had a maturity date of April 2027. The amount we can borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility is determined by the value of our receivables and inventory, which serve as collateral for the facility. Our effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the amended Revolving Credit Facility is based on the rates of Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans (as defined in the amended Revolving Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2025, the rate for Base Rate Loans was equal to the prevailing Prime Rate plus 0.25% (or, if borrowing availability was less than 40% of the maximum revolving commitments,0.50%), while the rate for SOFR Loans, which are made for one or three month periods, was equal to the Term SOFR Reference Rate (as defined in the amended Revolving Credit Facility) plus 1.35% (or, if borrowing availability was less than 40% of the maximum revolving commitments,1.60%). Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are reported within Long-term debt, net, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We hadno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025 after repaying borrowings of $290.4 million incurred during thenine months ended September 30, 2025. We hadno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of or during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes availability and usage of our Revolving Credit Facility as determined by a borrowing base calculated as of September 30, 2025 (in millions of dollars):

- Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments. We have a variety of financial commitments, including purchase agreements, forward foreign exchange and forward sales contracts, indebtedness and letters of credit (see Note 5 and Note 6).
Environmental Contingencies. We are subject to several environmental laws and regulations, potential fines or penalties assessed for alleged breaches of such laws and regulations, and potential claims based upon such laws and regulations. We are also subject to legacy environmental contingencies related to activities that occurred at our operating facilities prior to July 6, 2006, which represent the majority of our environmental accruals of$18.2 million as of September 30, 2025. This accrual represents our undiscounted estimate of costs reasonably expected to be incurred based on current laws and regulations, available facts, existing technologies, and our assessment of the likely remediation actions to be taken.
Based on approved and proposed remediation action plans for the various facilities, we expect that the implementation and ongoing monitoring could occur over a period of 30 or more years. As additional facts are developed, feasibility studies are completed, remediation plans are modified, necessary regulatory approvals for the implementation of remediation are obtained, alternative technologies are developed and/or other factors change, there may be revisions to management’s estimates, and actual costs may exceed the current environmental accruals by up to$14.2 million. Changes to our estimates may occur within the next 12 months as new information becomes available.
Other Contingencies. We are party to various lawsuits, claims, investigations and administrative proceedings that arise in connection with past and current operations. We evaluate such matters on a case-by-case basis and our policy is to vigorously contest any such claims we believe are without merit. We accrue for a legal liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Quarterly, in addition to when changes in facts and circumstances require it, we review and adjust these accruals to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of such matters and it is presently impossible to determine the actual cost that may ultimately be incurred, we believe that we have sufficiently accrued for such matters and that the ultimate resolution of pending matters will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity.

Income tax amounts reclassified out of AOCI were included as a component of Income tax provision.
As of September 30, 2025, we estimate a net mark-to-market gain before tax of$8.7 million in AOCI will be reclassified into Net income upon settlement within the next 12 months.

During thenine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we received net cash proceeds of$6.4 millionand $13.4 million, respectively.
Supply Chain Financing. We are party to several supply chain financing arrangements, in which we may sell certain of our customers’ trade accounts receivable to such customers’ financial institutions without recourse. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold trade accounts receivable totaling$255.9 million and$740.1 million, respectively, related to these supply chain financing arrangements, of which our customers’ financial institutions applied discount fees totaling$6.2 million and$17.2 million, respectively.

To the extent discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under supply chain financing arrangements are not reimbursed by our customers, they are included in Other income, net. As of September 30, 2025, we had been and/or expected to be substantially reimbursed by our customers for these discount fees, in accordance with the underlying sales agreements.

The income tax provision for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was$8.3 million and$2.4 million, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 17% and 21%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the projected blended statutory tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of 7% related to Federal research and development credits, partially offset by an increase of 2% related to non-deductible compensation expense. There was no material difference between the effective tax rate and the blended statutory tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was$22.2 million and$13.6 million, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21% and 23%, respectively. There was no material difference between the effective tax rate and the blended statutory tax rate for thenine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Our gross unrecognized benefits relating to uncertain tax positions were$7.7 million and $6.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which,$7.7 millionand $6.9 million would be recorded through our income tax provision and thus, impact the effective tax rate at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, if the gross unrecognized tax benefits were to be recognized.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA made permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, the Company evaluated all deferred tax balances under the newly enacted tax law and made all changes required to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which included no material impact to the income tax rate.
- Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing distributed and undistributed net income allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. The basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excludes non-vested share-based payment awards. Basic and diluted net income per share was calculated under the two-class method for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in millions of dollars, except share and per share amounts):
| Quarter Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024As Adjusted1 | 2025 | 2024As Adjusted1 | |

| Denominator – Weighted-average common shares outstanding (in thousands): | ||||
| Basic | 16,192 | 16,087 | 16,156 | 16,062 |
| Add: dilutive effect of non-vested common shares, restricted stock units and performance shares3 | 420 | 248 | 355 | 229 |
| Diluted | 16,612 | 16,335 | 16,511 | 16,291 |
| Net income per common share, Basic: | $2.44 | $0.54 | $5.22 | $2.85 |
| Net income per common share, Diluted: | $2.38 | $0.54 | $5.10 | $2.81 |
Represents Net income less distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.
Quantities in the following discussion are denoted in whole shares. During the quarter andnine months ended September 30, 2025 approximately 1 and 196 shares, respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average diluted shares computation as their inclusion would have been anti‑dilutive. For the quarter andnine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 120 and 700 shares, respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average diluted shares computation as their inclusion would have been anti‑dilutive.

- Business, Product, and Geographical Area Information
Our primary line of business is the production of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum mill products, such as plate and sheet, bare and coated coils, and extruded and drawn products, primarily used in our Aero/HS Products, Packaging, GE Products, and Automotive Extrusions end markets. We operate production facilities in the United States and Canada. We haveone operating and reportable segment. Our determination that we operate as a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly viewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make decisions regarding resource allocation. The CODM uses Net income to measure segment profitability in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.
The following table presents the significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM (in millions of dollars):

- Subsequent Events
Dividend Declaration. On October 14, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.77 per common share. As such, we expect to pay approximately$12.8 million (including dividend equivalents) on or about November 14, 2025 to stockholders of record and the holders of certain restricted stock units at the close of business on October 24, 2025.
Revolving Credit Facility. On October 14, 2025, we entered into amendment No. 5 to our Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility, among other things, (i) contains a maximum commitment amount of $575.0 million (of which up to a maximum of $50.0 million may be utilized for letters of credit), (ii) allows the Company to request an increase of the revolving commitments by up to an amount equal to $200.0 million plus an additional amount for a first-in last-out tranche, subject to certain conditions and the agreement ofone or more lenders to provide such increased commitment, and (iii) is set to mature on the earlier of (i) March 1, 2028, if by that date the scheduled maturity of the Company’s senior notes due 2028 has not been extended to a date not earlier than 90 days after October 14, 2030, repaid in full, or refinanced or replaced on terms mutually satisfactory to the Borrowers and Wells Fargo; and (ii) October 14, 2030. The amount we can borrow under the Amended Credit Facility is determined by the value of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory and certain other assets, which serve as collateral for the Amended Credit Facility. Our effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either a base rate or the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), plus, in each case, a specified variable percentage of between 125 basis points and 150 basis points for SOFR loans (or 25 basis points and 50 basis points for base rate loans) determined by reference to the then-remaining borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Facility and, in certain instances, a fixed margin. At the time of execution of the Amended Credit Facility, we had no outstanding borrowings under the previous revolving credit facility nor did we borrow on the Amended Credit Facility. As of the effective date, under the Amended Credit Facility, there were outstanding letters of credit totaling $14.6 million.
