For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we derived approximately 75% and 57% of our consolidated net sales from Glencore, respectively.

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, 2023, we recorded $21.0 million of revenue related to alumina sales to Glencore.
