Dynamics Provides Fourth Quarter 2008 and Full Year 2009 Outlook</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Fort
Wayne, Indiana, December&nbsp;12, 2008&#151;(NASDAQ/GS: STLD)&#151;During a publicly
announced webcast on December&nbsp;4, 2008, Steel Dynamics&#146; Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Keith E. Busse, spoke about the likelihood that Steel
Dynamics would incur a fourth quarter loss for 2008.&#160; Based on current loss expectations, Steel
Dynamics now estimates full year 2008 earnings to be in the range of $2.35 to
$2.40 per diluted share, compared with earlier estimates of about $3.25.&#160; Despite fourth quarter loss expectations of
$0.35 to $0.40 per diluted share, the company expects to achieve record annual
revenues, operating income, and cash flow from operations during 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;It
is disappointing to report an expected fourth quarter operating loss,
detracting from our stellar performance during the first three quarters of the
year,&#148; said Busse.&#160; &#147;We are in the midst
of a rapidly changing and very challenging global economic environment.&#160; We have seen a sharp drop in demand for all
products:&#160; steel, recycled metals and fabrication.&#160; The global credit crisis has had a profoundly
negative impact on what was already a weakening and very fragile world
economy.&#160; Rising unemployment and low
consumer confidence levels will likely prolong an anemic consumer environment
into next year.&#160; In spite of these
circumstances, entering 2009 Steel Dynamics will be well positioned to not only
weather these challenges, but to prosper in this environment.&#160; This demonstrates our strong operational
discipline and superior cost structure.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
company&#146;s fourth quarter results will be negatively impacted by sharp declines
in steel and recycled metal demand. Specifically, end-user demand for flat
rolled steel declined dramatically.&#160;
Consumers also reduced and canceled orders to decrease their own
higher-priced inventory positions in an effort to generate cash in response to
the credit crisis and uncertain economic environment. Due primarily to the
rapid decline in ferrous material costs, the company&#146;s steel operations expect
to decrease finished goods and work-in-process inventory values, causing a
potential write-down in excess of $60 million during December.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, in the metals recycling business the company enters into financial
hedges to mitigate market risk associated with physical positions of certain
commodities, such as copper, stainless steel and aluminum.&#160; The severe decline in copper values will
likely cause the company to record non-cash, unrealized hedging losses
approaching $35 million in the fourth quarter.&#160;
Heavy losses in the recycling arena occurred as
ferrous prices fell from approximately $850 per ton to $150 per ton and were
principally realized in the fourth quarter, as higher-priced inventory worked
through the system.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
company&#146;s combined steel operations are expected to operate at about a 50%
utilization rate during the fourth quarter.&#160;
Even at low operating rates, the highly variable cost structure of the
company&#146;s steel mills creates the potential for profitability even at low
operating rates as the higher-cost scrap inventories purchased earlier in the
quarter are primarily eliminated. The company&#146;s current 2009 plan reflects a
difficult market environment; however, the company expects to achieve a strong
relative-performance and believes that 2009 financial results could approach
and possibly surpass full-year 2008 record earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We
are cautiously optimistic about market conditions as we enter December,&#148; said
Busse. &#147;We believe that the precipitous decline in ferrous scrap prices has run
its course, as prices rose slightly from November&nbsp;to December.&#160; A more stable recycled metallic market,
combined with lower-cost ferrous scrap inventories at our flat and long product
steel operations positions the company to achieve improved operating margins in
the first quarter of 2009, as we believe that steel selling prices are at the
bottom and could likely see modest increases.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We
believe our core strategy of being the lowest cost steel producer and now
metals recycler, along with the high variability of our manufacturing cost framework,
enables us to achieve superior results in challenging as well as robust
economic environments.&#160; These fundamental
practices will sustain us and allow us to remain one of the most competitive
companies in our markets,&#148; concluded Busse.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
company continues to focus on further reductions in leverage, while maintaining
appropriate capital investment provisions, positioning for profitable long-term
growth.&#160; The company has increased its
liquidity position during the quarter through significant reductions in working
capital and anticipates further improvements throughout 2009. Availability on
the company&#146;s $874 million revolving credit facility could be as much as $450
million by the end of 2008. The company&#146;s first significant debt amortization
occurs mid-2012 with the maturing of its senior secured revolving and Term A loan facility.</font></p>
