COMMERCIAL METALS COMPANY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023 RESULTS

•Third quarter net earnings of $234.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, increased 30% from the previous quarter
•Core EBITDA of $391.7 million increased 29% sequentially
•North America segment adjusted EBITDA grew sequentially and year-over-year, driven by strong business activity and ongoing cost improvement
•North America new project bid volumes increased by a double-digit percentage vs. prior year, signaling continued strength in construction pipeline
•Volume and value of North America downstream backlog remained near all-time highs
•Operational startup of Arizona 2 micro mill underway


Irving, TX - June 22, 2023 - Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended May 31, 2023. Net earnings were $234.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.3 billion, compared to prior year period net earnings of $312.4 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.5 billion.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a net after-tax charge of $5.8 million related to the commissioning of the Arizona 2 micro mill. Excluding this item, third quarter adjusted earnings were $239.7 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings of $320.2 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, in the prior year period. “Adjusted EBITDA,” “core EBITDA,” “adjusted earnings” and “adjusted earnings per diluted share” are non-GAAP financial measures. Details, including a reconciliation of each such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, can be found in the financial tables that follow.

Barbara R. Smith, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said, “CMC delivered strong third quarter financial results, benefiting from robust North American construction activity, good product margins in the domestic market, and success in our continued efforts to reduce controllable costs. Our North America segment achieved EBITDA growth both sequentially and year-over-year, demonstrating the resilience of CMC's business and the strength of our end markets. During the third quarter, North American segment volumes were supported by significant structural trends, including the re-shoring of manufacturing and logistical supply chains, and increasing investment to improve the condition and functionality of our nation's core infrastructure and energy markets. We expect increased activity in these rebar-intensive construction sectors will continue to drive demand in the quarters and years ahead." (CMC Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 - 2)





Ms. Smith continued, “I am also extremely encouraged by the progress we have made on our commissioning of operations at CMC's Arizona 2 project. Operations are starting at an ideal time to capitalize on growing construction activity related to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, re-shoring, and the Inflation Reduction Act. We expect this project, together with our Tensar platform and other strategic initiatives, will provide a significant source of earnings and cash flow growth and generate meaningful value for our shareholders.”

The Company's balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong as of May 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $475.5 million, with available liquidity of $1.4 billion. During the quarter, CMC repaid $214.1 million in senior notes that matured in May, and repurchased 352,000 shares of common stock valued at $16.5 million. As of May 31, 2023, $105.3 million remained available under the current share repurchase authorization.

On June 21, 2023, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of CMC common stock payable to stockholders of record on July 3, 2023. The dividend to be paid on July 12, 2023, marks the 235th consecutive quarterly payment by the Company, and represents a 14% increase from the dividend paid in July 2022.

Business Segments - Fiscal Third Quarter 2023 Review
Demand for CMC's finished steel products in North America remained healthy during the quarter. Downstream bid volumes, a significant indicator of the construction project pipeline, improved from a year ago, resulting in an expansion of the Company’s contract backlog value compared to the prior year period. Demand from industrial end markets, which is important for merchant products, was stable on both a sequential and year-over-year basis.

The North America segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $402.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, in comparison to $379.4 million in the prior year period, representing a 6% increase. Financial results for the period mark the tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA, excluding the large gain on the sale of real estate recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The improvement was driven by expanded margins over scrap cost on downstream products. Controllable costs per ton of finished steel increased from the prior year period by approximately 6%, primarily due to general inflationary pressures. However, in comparison to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, controllable costs decreased meaningfully primarily due to improved fixed cost leverage on higher volumes, lower per-unit costs for key consumables, and a lower cost burden related to major planned maintenance outages.

Shipment volumes of finished steel, which include steel products and downstream products, were relatively unchanged from the prior year period. The average selling price for steel products decreased by $131 per ton compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, while the cost of scrap utilized declined $88 per ton, resulting in a year-(CMC Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 - 3)




over-year decrease of $43 per ton in steel products margin over scrap. The average selling price for downstream products increased by $208 per ton from the prior year period and $34 per ton on a sequential quarter basis.

Europe end market conditions softened during the quarter, as Polish construction activity decelerated, and industrial production across Central Europe remained muted. The Europe segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $9.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the record adjusted EBITDA of $121.0 million achieved in the prior year period. The decline was driven by lower margins over scrap, higher energy costs, and reduced shipment volumes.

The Europe segment's advantageous cost position and operational flexibility allowed it to maintain strong shipment levels, despite these market headwinds. Third quarter volume of 429,000 tons was 10% below prior year shipment levels, which were positively impacted by heavy customer buying following the invasion of Ukraine. Average selling price decreased by $214 per ton in the third quarter compared to the prior year period, while the cost of scrap utilized declined $103 per ton. The result was a year-over-year decline in margin over scrap of $111 per ton. Average selling price and margin over scrap also decreased on a sequential basis by $3 per ton and $41 per ton, respectively.

Outlook
Ms. Smith said, "We expect financial performance to remain strong during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. North America finished steel product shipments are anticipated to be consistent with the third quarter, supported by healthy end market demand and our historically high downstream backlog. Margin levels in North America should be similar to the third quarter. Results in our Europe segment are expected to be relatively unchanged from the third quarter, reflecting continued economic uncertainty. CMC will leverage its market leading cost position to maintain profitability in Europe within this challenging backdrop.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA and adjusted earnings are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the most directly comparable measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. However, we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to management, investors, analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as they allow: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our underlying business operational performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate financial performance and set target benchmarks for annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans.

A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA and core EBITDA is provided below:

The statements in this presentation that are not historical statements, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by phrases such as we or our management "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "future," "intends," "may," "plans to," "ought," "could," "will," "should," "likely," "appears," "projects," "forecasts," "outlook" or other similar words or phrases, as well as by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions. Our forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and beliefs as of the date of this presentation. Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or circumstances or any other changes. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our most recent quarterly report on 10-Q, as well as the following: changes in economic conditions which affect demand for our products or construction activity generally, and the impact of such changes on the highly cyclical steel industry; rapid and significant changes in the price of metals, potentially impairing our inventory values due to declines in commodity prices or reducing the profitability of our downstream contracts due to rising commodity pricing; impacts from global health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on the economy, demand for our products, global supply chain and on our operations; excess capacity in our industry, particularly in China, and product availability from competing steel mills and other steel suppliers including import quantities and pricing; the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the global economy, inflation, energy supplies and raw materials; increased attention to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, including any targets or other ESG or environmental justice initiatives; operating and startup risks, as well as market risks associated with the commissioning of new projects could prevent us from realizing anticipated benefits and could result in a loss of all or a substantial part of our investments; compliance with and changes in existing and future laws, regulations and other legal requirements and judicial decisions that govern our business, including increased environmental regulations associated with climate change and greenhouse gas emissions; involvement in various environmental matters that may result in fines, penalties or judgments; evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process and other factors that may impact amounts accrued for environmental liabilities; potential limitations in our or our customers' abilities to access credit and non- compliance of their contractual obligations, including payment obligations; activity in repurchasing shares of our common stock under our repurchase program; financial covenants and restrictions on the operation of our business contained in agreements governing our debt; our ability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions and realize any or all of the anticipated synergies or other benefits of acquisitions; the effects that acquisitions may have on our financial leverage; risks associated with acquisitions generally, such as the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required approvals under applicable antitrust legislation and other regulatory and third party consents and approvals; lower than expected future levels of revenues and higher than expected future costs; failure or inability to implement growth strategies in a timely manner; impact of goodwill or other indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges; impact of long-lived asset impairment charges; currency fluctuations; global factors, such as trade measures, military conflicts and political uncertainties, including changes to current trade regulations, such as Section 232 trade tariffs and quotas, tax legislation and other regulations which might adversely impact our business; availability and pricing of electricity, electrodes and natural gas for mill operations; ability to hire and retain key executives and other employees; competition from other materials or from competitors that have a lower cost structure or access to greater financial resources; information technology interruptions and breaches in security; ability to make necessary capital expenditures; availability and pricing of raw materials and other items over which we exert little influence, including scrap metal, energy and insurance; unexpected equipment failures; losses or limited potential gains due to hedging transactions; litigation claims and settlements, court decisions, regulatory rulings and legal compliance risks; risk of injury or death to employees, customers or other visitors to our operations; and civil unrest, protests and riots. .

Definitions for non-GAAP financial measures Q3 FY23 Supplemental Slides │ June 22, 2023 26 ADJUSTED EARNINGS Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to earnings before debt extinguishment costs, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, certain gains on sale of assets, asset impairments, purchase accounting effect on inventory, mill operational start-up costs, acquisition and integration related costs and other, including the estimated income tax effects thereof. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted earnings provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted earnings may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (or adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. CORE EBITDA Core EBITDA is the sum of net earnings before interest expense and income taxes. It also excludes recurring non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, and amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog. Core EBITDA also excludes debt extinguishment costs, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, non-cash equity compensation, certain gains on sale of assets, certain facility closure costs, acquisition settlement costs, labor cost government refunds, acquisition and integration related costs, mill operational start-up costs, CMC Steel Oklahoma incentives, severance, and purchase accounting effect on inventory. Core EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to earnings (loss) from continuing operations or net earnings (loss), or as a better measure of liquidity than net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP. However, we believe that Core EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is often used by analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as it allows: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Additionally, Core EBITDA is the target benchmark for our annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans for management. Core EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company’s net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, and amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. ADJUSTED EBITDA LESS SUSTAINING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND DISBURSEMENTS TO STAKEHOLDERS Adjusted EBITDA less sustaining capital expenditures and disbursements to shareholders is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization (used as a proxy for sustaining capital expenditures) less interest expense, less cash income taxes less dividend payments plus stock-based compensation. NET DEBT Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL Return on Invested Capital is defined as: 1) after-tax operating profit divided by 2) total assets less cash & cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing liabilities. For annual measures, trailing 5-quarter averages are used for balance sheet figures. FREE CASH FLOW Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures.
