<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold;">March 12, 2007</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Steel Dynamics Raises Earnings
Guidance for First Quarter</font></b></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">FORT
WAYNE, INDIANA</font></i>, March
12, 2007 &#151; Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: STLD) today announced it is raising
its estimate of first quarter 2007 earnings due primarily to higher shipping
volumes and somewhat stronger margins than initially projected. The company now
expects first-quarter diluted earnings per share to be about 10 percent higher
than its preliminary first-quarter estimate of $0.85 to $0.90 per share,
revising its estimated range to $0.94 to $0.98 per share.&#160; SDI&#146;s preliminary estimate was made January
23, 2007, in the company&#146;s earnings release. By comparison, diluted earnings
per share for the first quarter of 2006 was $0.76 and for the fourth quarter of
2006 was $1.03 per share.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Market
conditions for flat-rolled steels have improved since mid-January with a
recovery in both demand and pricing due in part to decreased import activity
and lower inventories at steel service centers,&#148; said Keith Busse, President
and CEO. &#147;End-use market demand appears to be up slightly year-over-year in
some sectors, yet relatively flat in others.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Meanwhile,
both pricing and shipping volume for long products have remained strong. SDI&#146;s
margins in this sector are also expected to be slightly stronger than
originally forecast. About half of SDI&#146;s shipments are flat-rolled products and
half are long products&#151;which includes structural steel, engineered bars,
merchant bars, and specialty shapes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Steel
scrap prices are trending much higher in the first quarter than previously
forecast,&#148; Busse said. &#147;However, we currently expect to be able to maintain our
margins in the second quarter. With continued strong order entry in the second
quarter, the preliminary outlook is for a solid quarter. We continue to expect
2007 to be another strong year for SDI, with a higher volume of shipments and
good prospects for continued strong margins.&#148;</font></p>
