COMMERCIAL METALS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K") filed by Commercial Metals Company ("CMC," and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") with the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the periods indicated. These notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Any reference in this Form 10-Q to the "corresponding period" or "comparable period" relates to the relevant three or six month period ended February 28, 2023. Any reference in this Form 10-Q to a year refers to the fiscal year ended August 31st of that year, unless otherwise noted.

Nature of Operations

CMC is an innovative solutions provider helping build a stronger, safer and more sustainable world. Through an extensive manufacturing network principally located in the U.S. and Central Europe, the Company offers products and technologies to meet the critical reinforcement needs of the global construction sector. CMC’s solutions support construction across a wide variety of applications, including infrastructure, non-residential, residential, industrial and energy generation and transmission.

During the first quarter of 2024, CMC changed its reportable segments to reflect a change in the manner in which the business is managed. Based on changes to CMC’s organizational structure, the evolution of CMC’s solutions offerings outside of traditional steel products, the growing importance of non-steel solutions to CMC’s financial results and future outlook and how CMC's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, CMC now has three reportable segments: North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group and Emerging Businesses Group.

North America Steel Group

The North America Steel Group segment is composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, steel mills and fabrication operations located in the U.S. The recycling facilities process ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively referred to as "raw materials") for use by manufacturers of new metal products. The steel mill operations consist of six electric arc furnace ("EAF") mini mills, three EAF micro mills and one rerolling mill. The steel mills manufacture finished long steel products including reinforcing bar ("rebar"), merchant bar, light structural and other special sections and wire rod, as well as semi-finished billets for rerolling and forging applications (collectively referred to as "steel products"). The fabrication operations primarily fabricate rebar and steel fence posts and offer post-tension cable products (collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the North America Steel Group segment). The general strategy in the North America Steel Group segment is to optimize the Company's vertically integrated value chain to maximize profitability by obtaining the lowest possible input costs and highest possible selling prices. The Company operates the recycling facilities to provide low-cost scrap to the steel mills and the fabrication operations to optimize the steel mill volumes. The North America Steel Group segment's products are sold primarily to steel mills and foundries, as well as construction, fabrication and other manufacturing industries.

Europe Steel Group

The Europe Steel Group segment is composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, an EAF mini mill and fabrication operations located in Poland. The scrap metal recycling facilities process ferrous scrap metals for use almost exclusively by the mini mill. The steel products manufactured by the mini mill include rebar, merchant bar and wire rod as well as semi-finished billets. The products manufactured by this segment's fabrication operations include fabricated rebar, wire mesh, assembled rebar cages and other fabricated rebar by-products (collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the Europe Steel Group segment). The strategy in the Europe Steel Group segment is to optimize profitability of the

Table of Contents

products manufactured by the mini mill and is executed in the same manner as in the North America Steel Group segment. The Europe Steel Group segment's products are sold primarily to fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and construction companies.

Emerging Businesses Group

The Emerging Businesses Group segment's portfolio consists of CMC Construction Services TM products (collectively referred to as "construction products"), Tensar ® products and solutions (collectively referred to as "ground stabilization solutions") and CMC Impact Metals TM , CMC Anchoring Systems and performance reinforcing steel products (collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the Emerging Businesses Group segment).

• CMC Construction Services TM operations sell and rent products and equipment used to execute construction projects. Primary customers include concrete installers and other businesses in the construction industry.

• Tensar ® operations sell geogrids and Geopier ® foundation systems. Geogrids are polymer-based products used for ground stabilization, soil reinforcement and asphalt optimization in construction applications, including roadways, public infrastructure and industrial facilities. Geopier ® foundation systems are rammed aggregate pier and other foundation solutions that increase the load-bearing characteristics of ground structures and working surfaces and can be applied in soil types and construction situations in which traditional support methods are impractical or would make a project infeasible.

• CMC Impact Metals TM operations manufacture heat-treated, high-strength steel products, such as high-strength bar for the truck trailer industry, special bar quality steel for the energy market and armor plate for military vehicles.

• CMC Anchoring Systems' operations supply custom engineered anchor cages, bolts and fasteners that are fabricated principally from rebar and are used primarily to secure high voltage electrical transmission poles to concrete foundations.

• The Company's group of performance reinforcing steel offerings include innovative products such as Galvabar ® (galvanized rebar with a zinc alloy coating that provides corrosion protection and post-fabrication formability), ChromX ® (designed for high-strength capabilities, corrosion resistance and a service life of more than 100 years) and CryoSteel ® (a cryogenic reinforcing steel that exceeds minimum performance requirements for strength and ductility at extremely low temperatures).

The strategy in the Emerging Businesses Group segment is to provide construction-related solutions and value-added products with strong underlying growth fundamentals to serve domestic and international markets that are adjacent to those served by the vertically integrated operations in the North America Steel Group segment and the Europe Steel Group segment. To execute this strategy, the Company (i) develops proprietary products and solutions that deliver high value to customers by reducing costs and construction time, (ii) provides concrete-related construction products, equipment, and services and (iii) produces reinforcing steel products with increased strength, durability and corrosion resistance to support sustainable concrete construction.

As a result of the change in reportable segments, certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Throughout this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity reflect reclassifications related to the Company's change in reportable segments. The change in reportable segments had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of the Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time concurrent with the transfer of control, which usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. See Note 13, Segment Information, for further information about disaggregated revenue by the Company's major product lines.

Certain revenue from the Company's downstream products in the North America Steel Group segment is not recognized at a point in time. Revenue resulting from sales of fabricated rebar in the North America Steel Group segment is recognized over time, as discussed below. Revenue resulting from sales of steel fence posts and other downstream products in the North America Steel Group segment is recognized equal to billing under an available practical expedient.

Each of the North America Steel Group segment's fabricated rebar contracts represent a single performance obligation. Revenue from certain fabricated rebar contracts for which the Company provides fabricated product and installation services is recognized over time using an input measure. These contracts represented 8 % of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in each of the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023. Revenue from fabricated rebar contracts for which the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure. These contracts represented 10 % and 11 % of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, and 12 % and 13 % of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in the three and six months ended February 28, 2023, respectively.

The following table provides information about assets and liabilities from contracts with customers recognized over time:


(in thousands)	February 29, 2024		August 31, 2023
Contract assets (included in accounts receivable)	$	61,044	$	67,641
Contract liabilities (included in accrued expenses and other payables)	26,047		28,377

The amount of revenue reclassified from August 31, 2023 contract liabilities during the six months ended February 29, 2024 was approximately $ 23.4 million.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of February 29, 2024, revenue totaling $ 1.1 billion has been allocated to remaining performance obligations in the North America Steel Group segment related to contracts for which revenue is recognized using an input or output measure. Of this amount, the Company estimates that approximately 80 % of the remaining performance obligations will be recognized in the twelve months following February 29, 2024, and the remainder will be recognized during the subsequent twelve months . The duration of all other contracts in the North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group and Emerging Businesses Group segments are typically less than one year.

NOTE 5. INVENTORIES, NET

The majority of the Company's inventories are in the form of semi-finished and finished steel products. Under the Company’s vertically integrated business models in the North America Steel Group segment and the Europe Steel Group segment, steel products are sold to external customers in various stages, from semi-finished billets through fabricated steel, leading these categories to be combined as finished goods.

The components of inventories were as follows:


(in thousands)	February 29, 2024		August 31, 2023

NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

Goodwill by reportable segment is detailed in the table below. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed its reportable segments as described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies. Concurrent with the change in reportable segments, the Company reassigned goodwill to the updated reporting units using a relative fair value approach, shown below:

__________________________________

(1) Measurement period adjustments related to the 2023 acquisitions which impacted the amount of goodwill originally reported.

The Company evaluated impairment indicators for the previous reporting units immediately prior to the change in reportable segments and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. Immediately after the change in reportable segments, the Company performed qualitative tests for five reporting units consisting of $ 285.0 million of goodwill and quantitative tests for three reporting units consisting of $ 100.8 million of goodwill. The results of the qualitative and quantitative tests indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying values.

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	February 29, 2024		August 31, 2023
Trade names	$	54,057	$	54,056
In-process research and development	2,400		2,400
Non-compete agreements	750		750
Total	$	57,207	$	57,206

The change in the balance of intangible assets with indefinite lives from August 31, 2023 to February 29, 2024 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company's natural gas commodity derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedging instruments have maturities extending to February 2027. The Company's electricity commodity derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedging instruments have maturities extending to December 2034. Included in the AOCI balance as of February 29, 2024 was an estimated net gain of $ 2.7 million from cash flow hedging instruments that is expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the twelve months following February 29, 2024. Cash flows associated with the cash flow hedging instruments are recorded as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 9, Fair Value, for the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE

The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined within Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

The Company presents the fair value of its derivative contracts on a net-by-counterparty basis when a legal right to offset exists under an enforceable netting agreement. The following table summarizes information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

(1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options.

(2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivatives classified as Level 3 are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 8, Derivatives.

The fair value estimate of the Level 3 commodity derivatives are based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices (the "floating rate"), which is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow models. Significantly higher or lower floating rates could have resulted in a material difference in the fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the range of floating rates used to measure the fair value of the Level 3 commodity derivatives at February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, which are applied uniformly across each of our Level 3 commodity derivatives:


	Floating rate (PLN)
	Low	High	Average
February 29, 2024	334	574	468
August 31, 2023	480	855	630

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivatives recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time causes volatility in the fair value estimates and is the primary reason for unrealized gains and losses included in OCI in the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

There were no material non-recurring fair value remeasurements during the three or six months ended February 29, 2024 or February 28, 2023.

The carrying values of the Company's short-term items, including documentary letters of credit and notes payable, approximate fair value.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, excluding other borrowings and finance leases, was $ 1.0 billion and $ 935.6 million, respectively, at February 29, 2024, and $ 1.0 billion and $ 900.9 million, respectively, at August 31, 2023. The Company estimates these fair values based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using indicated market values. The Company's other borrowings contain variable interest rates, and as a result, their carrying values approximate fair values.

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company's stock-based compensation plans are described in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation Plans, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters, such as those described below. CMC expenses legal fees as they are incurred.

Legal Proceeding

On October 30, 2020, plaintiff Pacific Steel Group ("PSG") filed a suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Commercial Metals Company, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC violated the federal and California state antitrust laws and California common law by entering into an exclusivity agreement for certain steel mill equipment manufactured by one of the Company’s equipment suppliers. PSG seeks, among other things, a jury trial on its claims in addition to injunctive relief, compensatory damages, fees and costs. Fact and expert discovery are complete, and summary judgment briefing and arguments are under advisement by the court. Pending the resolution of summary judgment, a jury trial is scheduled for July 2024. The Company believes that it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against PSG's claims. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, and it cannot estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution to this matter could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other Matters

At February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, the amounts accrued for cleanup and remediation costs at certain sites in response to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") and analogous state and local statutes were immaterial. Total accrued environmental liabilities, including CERCLA sites, were $ 4.1 million and $ 4.5 million at February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively, of which $ 1.8 million and $ 2.0 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities as of February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts have not been discounted

Table of Contents

to their present values. Due to evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process and other factors, amounts accrued could vary significantly from amounts paid.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company structures its business into three reportable segments: North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group and Emerging Businesses Group. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies, for more information about the reportable segments, including the types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its net sales. Other revenue resulting from the Company's New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") transactions are reflected in Corporate and Other net sales and are described in Note 9, New Markets Tax Credit Transactions, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K. In addition to other revenue from NMTC transactions, "Corporate and Other expenses" contains unallocated corporate amounts, such as earnings or losses resulting from the Company's Benefit Restoration Plan assets and liabilities and short-term investments, expenses of the Company's corporate headquarters, interest expense related to long-term debt and intercompany eliminations.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Change in Reportable Segments

During the first quarter of 2024, we changed our reportable segments to reflect a change in the manner in which our business is managed. Based on changes to our organizational structure, the evolution of our solutions offerings outside of traditional steel products, the growing importance of non-steel solutions to our financial results and future outlook and how our chief operating decision maker, our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company now has three reportable segments that represent the primary businesses reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements: North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group and Emerging Businesses Group. See the section titled "Results of Operations Summary" below for more information regarding our reportable segments. As a result of this change, certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Throughout this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity reflect reclassifications related to the Company's change in reportable segments.

Chief Executive Officer Transition

Effective September 1, 2023, Peter R. Matt, our then President, assumed the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, immediately following the retirement of Barbara R. Smith, our then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). Mr. Matt has served as our President since April 9, 2023 and continues to serve as a member of the Board, which he joined in June 2020. Ms. Smith was appointed Executive Chairman of the Board, effective September 1, 2023. The transition from Ms. Smith to Mr. Matt followed the Company's formal succession planning process.

2023 Acquisitions

On September 15, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Advanced Steel Recovery, LLC ("ASR"), a supplier of recycled ferrous metals located in Southern California. ASR's primary operations include processing and brokering capabilities that source material for sale into both the domestic and export markets.

On November 14, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a Galveston, Texas area metals recycling facility and related assets (collectively, "Kodiak") from Kodiak Resources, Inc. and Kodiak Properties, L.L.C.

On March 3, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Roane Metals Group, LLC ("Roane"), a supplier of recycled metals with two facilities located in eastern Tennessee.

Capital Expenditures

During the fourth quarter of 2023, our third micro mill was placed into service. The new facility, located in Mesa, Arizona, allows us to more efficiently meet underlying West Coast and Pacific Northwest demand for steel products. Designed to produce both rebar and merchant bar, this micro mill is the first in the world to produce merchant bar quality products through a continuous production process. Initial commercial production of rebar commenced during commissioning, prior to the startup of merchant bar production, which commenced during the second quarter of 2024. The merchant bar products produced at this facility will consist of a wide variety of shapes and sizes of long steel, and, combined with rebar production, the capacity of this micro mill is approximately 40% greater than that of the other micro mills we have constructed. The micro mill will employ the latest technology in electric arc furnace ("EAF") power supply systems which will allow us to directly connect the EAF and the ladle furnace to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Additionally, this micro mill is the Company’s first micro mill to utilize Q-ONE technology on an EAF, which provides energy efficiencies and precise electrical control during production, creating a stable and consistent output.

In December 2022, we announced that our planned fourth micro mill will be located in Berkeley County, West Virginia. This new micro mill will be geographically situated to serve the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Western U.S. markets and will enhance our steel production capabilities by achieving synergies within the existing network of downstream fabrication plants. Site improvements and foundations for the micro mill are nearing completion. We expect this micro mill to be commissioned in late calendar 2025.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine did not have a direct material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three or six months ended February 29, 2024 or February 28, 2023. Our Europe Steel Group segment has not experienced an interruption in energy supply and was able to identify alternate sources for a limited number of materials previously procured through Russia. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to economic slowdowns in Europe, including significant volatility in commodity prices and credit markets, as well as reductions in demand and supply chain interruptions, and has contributed to global inflation. We will continue to monitor disruptions in supply of energy and materials and the indirect effects on our operations of inflationary pressures, reductions in demand, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, commodity pricing, potential cybersecurity risks and sanctions resulting from the invasion.

See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion related to the above business conditions and developments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our 2023 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY

Business Overview

North America Steel Group

The North America Steel Group segment is composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, steel mills and fabrication operations located in the U.S.

The scrap metal recycling facilities process and sell ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively referred to as "raw materials") to steel mills and foundries, aluminum sheet and ingot manufacturers, brass and bronze ingot makers, copper

Table of Contents

refineries and mills, secondary lead smelters, specialty steel mills, high temperature alloy manufacturers and other consumers. Ferrous scrap metal processed by our recycling operations is the primary raw material used by our steel mills.

Our steel mill operations consist of six EAF mini mills, three EAF micro mills and one rerolling mill. The steel mills manufacture finished long steel products including rebar, merchant bar, light structural and other special sections and wire rod, as well as semi-finished billets for rerolling and forging applications (collectively referred to as "steel products"). The primary end markets for our steel mills are construction and fabricating industries, metals service centers, original equipment manufacturers and agricultural, energy and petrochemical industries.

The fabricated rebar operations shear, bend, weld and fabricate steel that is used to reinforce concrete during the construction of commercial and non-commercial buildings, hospitals, convention centers, industrial plants, power plants, highways, bridges, arenas, stadiums and dams, among other projects. Many of the projects are fixed price over the life of the project. We also provide installation services of fabricated rebar in certain markets. Steel for our fabrication operations is obtained primarily from our steel mills. Additionally, we fabricate steel fence posts primarily for use in residential and commercial landscaping and agricultural and livestock containment. Further, we supply post-tension cable for use in a variety of projects, such as slab-on-grade foundations, bridges, buildings, parking structures and rock-and-soil anchors. The fabrication and post-tension cable offerings are collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the North America Steel Group segment.

Europe Steel Group

The Europe Steel Group segment is composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, an EAF mini mill and fabrication operations located in Poland.

The scrap metal recycling facilities process ferrous scrap metals for use almost exclusively by the mini mill. Nonferrous scrap metal is not material to this segment’s operations. The mini mill is a significant manufacturer of steel products including rebar, merchant bar, wire rod and semi-finished billets in Central Europe and includes three rolling lines. The first rolling line is designed to allow efficient and flexible production of a range of medium section merchant bar products. The second rolling line is dedicated primarily to rebar production. The third rolling line is designed to produce high grade wire rod. The mini mill sells steel products primarily to fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and construction companies, mostly to customers located within Poland. However, the mini mill also exports steel products to the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and other countries.

The fabrication operations obtain rebar and wire rod primarily from the mini mill for use in the production of fabricated rebar, fabricated mesh, wire mesh, assembled rebar cages, welded steel mesh, cold rolled wire rod, cold rolled rebar and other fabricated rebar by-products. The products manufactured by the fabrication operations (collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the Europe Steel Group segment) are sold primarily to contractors for incorporation into construction projects. In addition to sales of downstream products in the Polish market, the Company also exports downstream products to neighboring countries such as the Czech Republic and Germany.

Emerging Businesses Group

Our Emerging Businesses Group segment provides construction-related solutions and value-added products with strong, underlying growth fundamentals to serve domestic and international markets that are adjacent to those served by our vertically integrated operations in the North America Steel Group segment and the Europe Steel Group segment. The Emerging Businesses Group segment's portfolio consists of CMC Construction Services TM products (collectively referred to as "construction products"), Tensar ® products and solutions (collectively referred to as "ground stabilization solutions") and CMC Impact Metals TM , CMC Anchoring Systems and performance reinforcing steel products (collectively referred to as "downstream products" in the context of the Emerging Businesses Group segment).

• CMC Construction Services TM operations sell and rent construction-related products and equipment to concrete installers and other businesses in the construction industry.

Table of Contents

• Our group of performance reinforcing steel offerings include innovative products such as Galvabar ® (galvanized rebar with a zinc alloy coating that provides corrosion protection and post-fabrication formability), ChromX ® (designed for high-strength capabilities, corrosion resistance and a service life of more than 100 years) and CryoSteel ® (a cryogenic reinforcing steel that exceeds minimum performance requirements for strength and ductility at extremely low temperatures).

Key Performance Indicators

When evaluating our results for the period, we compare net sales, in the aggregate and for each of our reportable segments, in the current period to net sales in the corresponding period. Specifically, for the North America Steel Group segment and the Europe Steel Group segment we focus on changes in average selling price per ton and tons shipped compared to the prior period for each of our vertically integrated product categories as these are the two variables that typically have the greatest impact on our net sales for those reportable segments. Of the products evaluated by changes in average selling price per ton and tons shipped within the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments, raw materials include ferrous and nonferrous scrap, steel products include rebar, merchant bar and other steel products, such as billets and wire rod, and downstream products include fabricated rebar, steel fence posts and wire mesh. The evaluation of average selling price per ton and tons shipped for downstream products exclude post-tension cable, which is not measured on a per ton basis.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to compare and evaluate the period-over-period underlying business operational performance of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company's earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairment expense. Although there are many factors that can impact a segment’s adjusted EBITDA and, therefore, our overall earnings, changes in metal margins of our steel products and downstream products period-over-period in the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments is a consistent area of focus for our Company and industry. Metal margin is a metric used by management to monitor the results of our vertically integrated organization. For our steel products, metal margin is the difference between the average selling price per ton of rebar, merchant bar and other steel products and the cost of ferrous scrap per ton utilized by our steel mills to produce these products. An increase or decrease in input costs can impact profitability of these products when there is no corresponding change in selling prices. The metal margin for our North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments' downstream products is the difference between the average selling price per ton of fabricated rebar and steel fence post products and the scrap input costs to produce these products. The majority of our North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments' downstream products selling prices per ton are fixed at the beginning of a project and these projects last one to two years on average. Because the selling price generally remains fixed over the life of a project, changes in input costs over the life of the project can significantly impact profitability.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $16.6 million and $22.8 million during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. Contributing to the period-over-period increases were $2.9 million and $6.6 million of incremental SG&A expenses from the 2023 acquisitions in the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the expenses recorded during the corresponding periods. Additionally, as compared to the respective corresponding periods, the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 included $4.2 million and $4.4 million of increased benefit restoration plan expenses and $2.9 million and $3.0 million of increased professional services expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses during the six months ended February 29, 2024 was offset, in part, by a $4.2 million pension plan settlement charge in the six months ended February 28, 2023, with no such settlement charge in the six months ended February 29, 2024. The remaining fluctuations in SG&A expenses during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods, were due to multiple factors of which no single category was material.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $1.9 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period, and remained relatively flat during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. While quarter-over-quarter interest expense decreased by $2.7 million due to a lower average balance of long-term debt outstanding during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period, this decrease was offset by a $4.2 million reduction in capitalized interest during the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 were 26.6% and 23.3%, respectively, compared to 23.6% and 23.1%, respectively, in the corresponding periods. The increase for the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared with the corresponding period, is due to multiple factors of which no single item was material. The effective income tax rate remained relatively flat for the six months ended February 29, 2024 when compared to the corresponding period.

Net sales from external customers in our North America Steel Group segment decreased 1% and 3% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The decreases primarily resulted from a reduction in steel products average selling prices per ton of 8% and 10% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, and reductions in downstream products average selling prices per ton, compared to the corresponding periods, in both cases due to increased competitive pricing in our key markets. These reductions in net sales from external customers driven by lower average selling prices were partially offset by increased shipments of raw materials and steel products in both periods presented due to strong construction activity and demand in our end-use markets.

During the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, we achieved adjusted EBITDA of $222.3 million and $489.1 million, respectively, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $274.2 million and $624.0 million, during the respective corresponding periods. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 was primarily due to an 18% and a 20% erosion of steel products metal margin per ton, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, and 9% and 6% decreases in downstream products margin over scrap per ton, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The decreased margins resulted from the decreased steel products and downstream products average selling prices per ton mentioned above, combined with increases in the cost of ferrous scrap during both periods.

Net sales from external customers in our Europe Steel Group segment decreased $145.1 million, or 43%, and $306.4 million, or 42%, during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The decreases were primarily due to reductions in steel products shipment volumes of 37% and 32% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, and reductions in steel products average selling prices per ton of 11% and 16% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The slowdown in demand and reduced steel products average selling prices per ton were driven by the indirect impacts of macroeconomic factors affecting the business climate in European end markets, such as inflation and rising interest rates, which resulted in lower construction and industrial activity. During both the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, overall, the U.S. dollar weakened compared to the Polish zloty. Using actual results for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, measured at the comparable periods' average currency rates, foreign currency translation would result in decreases in net sales from external customers of approximately $18.0 million and $43.7 million for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 decreased $20.1 million and $42.4 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.6 million in the three months ended February 29, 2024 resulted primarily from a decrease in steel products metal margin per ton of $88, or 24%, during the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. Steel products metal margin per ton also decreased $127, or 32%, during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. Both decreases were a result of the declines in steel products average selling prices described above, while the cost of ferrous scrap utilized per ton remained relatively flat. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 was also negatively impacted by lower shipment volumes compared to the corresponding periods, as described above. Offsetting the impact of the decrease in steel products metal margin per ton, results during the six months ended February 29, 2024 benefited from government assistance programs established to offset the rising costs of electricity and natural gas and the indirect costs of rising carbon emission rights included in energy costs. The government assistance recognized under the programs during the six months ended February 29, 2024 was $66.3 million, compared to $9.5 million of government assistance recognized in the six months ended February 28, 2023. Using actual results for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, measured at the comparable periods' average currency rates, foreign currency translation would result in an immaterial change to adjusted EBITDA loss during the three months ended February 29, 2024 and a decrease in adjusted EBITDA of approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024.

Table of Contents

Net sales from external customers in our Emerging Businesses Group segment increased $2.4 million, or 2%, for the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period, and increased $9.1 million, or 3%, for the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. The acquired CMC Anchoring Systems operations contributed to the year-over-year changes by providing $12.0 million and $24.7 million of net sales from external customers in the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, with no such activity in the corresponding periods. See Note 2, Changes in Business, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information on the acquisition of CMC Anchoring Systems. These increases were offset, in part, by decreases in net sales from CMC Construction Services' operations for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, primarily resulting from job site delays caused by weather disruptions. Our Tensar operations also experienced reduced net sales for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods, due to weather-related shipment disruptions in the U.S. and economic conditions in international markets.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $8.6 million, or 32%, for the three months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period, and decreased $9.2 million, or 16%, for the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. The decreases in adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods, were primarily a result of the decline in net sales from external customers for CMC Construction Services and our Tensar operations as described above, which impacted fixed cost leverage, and more than offset the positive contribution from the acquired CMC Anchoring Systems operations.

Adjusted EBITDA loss	$	(34,512)	$	(15,573)	$	(65,499)	$	(55,298)

Adjusted EBITDA loss for Corporate and Other increased $18.9 million and $10.2 million during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The increase in adjusted EBITDA loss during each period is partially due to the recognition of $17.7 million of other revenue from our New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) transactions during the three and six months ended February 28, 2023, with no such transactions in the three and six months ended February 29, 2024. Additionally, there were $4.1 million and $6.6 million of increased professional services expenses during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the respective corresponding periods. These increases to adjusted EBITDA loss were offset by $3.9 million and $7.7 million of increased interest income on short-term investments during the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. Additionally, the six months ended February 28, 2023 included a $4.2 million pension plan settlement charge, with no such settlement charge in the six months ended February 29, 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities are our principal sources of liquidity and result from sales of products offered by the vertically integrated operations in the North America Steel Group segment and the Europe Steel Group segment, products offered by our Emerging Businesses Group segment and related materials and services, as described in Part I, Item 1, Business, of our 2023 Form 10-K and Note 1, Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q .

We have a diverse and generally stable customer base, and regularly maintain a substantial amount of accounts receivable. We actively monitor our accounts receivable and, based on market conditions and customers' financial condition, record allowances when we believe accounts are uncollectible. We use credit insurance internationally to mitigate the risk of customer insolvency. We estimate that the amount of credit-insured or financially assured receivables was approximately 11% of total trade receivables at February 29, 2024.

We use futures or forward contracts to mitigate the risks from fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and natural gas, electricity and other energy prices. See Note 8, Derivatives, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for further information.

Table of Contents

The table below reflects our sources, facilities and availability of liquidity at February 29, 2024. See Note 7, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

__________________________________

(1) We believe we have access to additional financing and refinancing, if needed, although we can make no assurances as to the form or terms of such financing.

We continually review our capital resources to determine whether we can meet our short and long-term goals. We anticipate our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to maintain operations, make necessary capital expenditures, invest in the development of new micro mills, pay dividends, fund potential expenditures in connection with litigation or other legal proceedings and opportunistically repurchase shares for at least the next twelve months. Additionally, we expect our long-term liquidity position will be sufficient to meet our long-term liquidity needs with cash flows from operations and financing arrangements. However, in the event of changes in business conditions or other developments, including a sustained market deterioration, unanticipated regulatory developments, significant acquisitions, competitive pressures, or to the extent our liquidity needs prove to be greater than expected or cash generated from operations is less than anticipated, we may need additional liquidity. To the extent we elect to finance our long-term liquidity needs, we believe that the potential financing capital available to us in the future will be sufficient.

We estimate that our 2024 capital spending will range from $550 million to $600 million. We regularly assess our capital spending based on current and expected results and the amount is subject to change.

In January 2024, our Board authorized an increase of $500.0 million to the existing share repurchase program. We had remaining authorization to repurchase $510.4 million of shares of CMC common stock at February 29, 2024. See Note 11, Stockholders' Equity and Earnings per Share, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information on the share repurchase program.

Our credit arrangements require compliance with certain non-financial and financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio and a debt to capitalization ratio. At February 29, 2024, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants contained in our credit arrangements.

As of February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities were $350.0 million and $558.9 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. Contributing to the change was a decrease in net earnings of $179.5 million year-over-year and a $25.0 million decrease in deferred income taxes and other long-term taxes. Additionally, there was a $49.0 million year-over-year net increase in cash used by operating assets and liabilities. Cash used by inventory increased year-over-year due to both greater inventory volumes and prices during a higher scrap price environment in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period, offset, in part, by a year-over-year decrease in cash used by accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables. These reductions to cash flows from operating activities were offset, in part, by $35.1 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense year-over-year, primarily attributable to our third micro mill being placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows used by investing activities were $158.5 million and $352.6 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The fluctuation in net cash flows used by investing activities was driven by a $65.2 million decrease in cash used by acquisitions during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period, along with a $128.5 million reduction of capital expenditures during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period. See Note 2, Changes in Business, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information about the acquisitions completed during the corresponding period.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows used by financing activities were $147.8 million and $283.7 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The $135.9 million decrease in net cash flows used by financing activities during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to the corresponding period, included a $143.1 million decrease in repayments of long-term debt, offset, in part, by a $10.0 million increase in treasury stock acquired under the share repurchase program and a $4.7 million increase in net repayments under our Polish accounts receivable facility. See Note 11, Stockholders' Equity and Earnings per Share, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information on the share repurchase program and Note 7, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information regarding our Polish accounts receivable facility.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations primarily consist of obligations for long-term debt and related interest, leases for properties and equipment and purchase obligations as part of normal operations. The amount and composition of our material cash commitments have not changed materially since those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Other Commercial Commitments

We maintain stand-by letters of credit to provide support for certain transactions that governmental agencies, our insurance providers and suppliers require . At February 29, 2024, we had committed $41.7 million under these arrangements, of which $0.9 million reduced availability under the Revolver (as defined in Note 7, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q).

CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters. We may incur settlements, fines, penalties or judgments because of some of these matters. Liabilities and costs associated with litigation-related loss contingencies require estimates and judgments based on our knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding each matter and the advice of our legal counsel. We record liabilities for litigation-related losses when a loss is probable, and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We evaluate the measurement of recorded liabilities each reporting period based on the current facts and circumstances specific to each matter. The ultimate losses incurred upon final resolution of litigation-related loss contingencies may differ materially from the estimated liability recorded at a particular balance sheet date. Changes in estimates are recorded in earnings in the period in which such changes occur. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information on pending litigation and other matters.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

With respect to administrative or judicial proceedings arising under any federal, state or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, the Company has determined that it will disclose any such proceeding to which a governmental authority is a party if it reasonably believes such proceeding could result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of at least $1.0 million. The Company believes that this threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of environmental proceedings that are material to the Company's business or financial condition. Applying this threshold, there were no environmental matters to disclose for this period.
