NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), together with its subsidiaries (the company), is one of the largest and most diversified domestic steel producers and metals recycler, combined with a meaningful steel fabrication manufacturing platform. The company has three reporting segments: steel operations, metals recycling operations, and steel fabrication operations.

Steel Operations Segment. Steel operations include the company’s electric arc furnace (EAF) steel mills, including Butler Flat Roll Division, Columbus Flat Roll Division, Southwest-Sinton Flat Roll Division, Structural and Rail Division, Engineered Bar Products Division, Roanoke Bar Division, Steel of West Virginia, steel coating and processing operations at The Techs, Heartland Flat Roll Division, United Steel Supply (USS) – 90% equity interest as of April 1, 2023, Vulcan Threaded Products, Inc., and SDI Biocarbon Solutions, LLC, a joint venture to construct and operate a biocarbon production facility. Steel operations accounted for 67% of the company’s consolidated net sales during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 65% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Metals Recycling Operations Segment. Metals recycling operations include the company’s OmniSource ferrous and nonferrous processing, transportation, marketing, brokerage, and scrap management services primarily throughout the United States and in Central and Northern Mexico. Metals recycling operations accounted for 12% of the company’s consolidated net sales during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 10% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Steel Fabrication Operations Segment. Steel fabrication operations include the company’s New Millennium Building Systems’ joist and deck plants located throughout the United States, and in Northern Mexico. Revenues from these plants are generated from the fabrication of trusses, girders, steel joists and steel deck used within the non-residential construction industry. Steel fabrication operations accounted for 15% and 16% of the company’s consolidated net sales during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 17% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Other. Other operations consist of subsidiary operations that are below the company’s quantitative thresholds required for reportable segments and primarily consist of joint ventures, including the company’s newly announced aluminum flat roll mill and the company’s idled Minnesota ironmaking operations. Also included in “Other” are certain unallocated corporate accounts, such as the company’s senior unsecured credit facility, senior notes, certain other investments and certain profit sharing expenses.

Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SDI, together with its wholly- and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling owners’ proportionate share in the equity, income, or losses of the company’s majority-owned or controlled consolidated subsidiaries. Redeemable noncontrolling interests related to USS (owned 90% by SDI at April 1, 2023 and 87.5% at December 31, 2022) are $60.0 million at June 30, 2023, and $70.3 million at December 31, 2022. On April 1, 2023, a noncontrolling member of USS exercised its option to require SDI to purchase its 2.5% equity interest, increasing SDI’s ownership to 90%. The remaining noncontrolling members’ option to require SDI to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest of USS has been extended to on or after February 28, 2025. Redeemable noncontrolling interests related to Mesabi Nugget (owned 85.5% by SDI) are $111.2 million at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and accordingly, include amounts that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the notes thereto. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill; valuation allowances for trade receivables, inventories and deferred income tax assets; unrecognized tax benefits; potential environmental liabilities; and litigation claims and settlements. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Cash and Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash and equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Restricted cash is primarily funds held in escrow as required by various insurance and government organizations. The balance of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows includes restricted cash of $5.5 million for all periods presented, which are recorded in Other Assets (noncurrent) in the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Senior Credit Facility

On July 19, 2023, the company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement comprised of a senior unsecured credit facility (Facility), which provides a $1.2 billion Revolver, maturing July 19, 2028. The new Credit Agreement replaces the December 3, 2019 Credit Agreement. Subject to certain conditions, the company has the ability to increase the Revolver size by $500.0 million. The Facility is available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Facility contains financial covenants and other covenants pertaining to the company’s ability to incur indebtedness and permit liens on certain assets. The company’s ability to borrow funds within the terms of the unsecured Revolver is dependent upon its continued compliance with financial and other covenants.

​

The Facility pricing grid is adjusted quarterly and is based on either the company’s leverage of net debt (as defined in the Facility) to last-twelve-months (LTM) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Facility (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other non-cash items, as defined in the Facility), or the company’s credit ratings. The minimum pricing is adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.000% and the maximum pricing is adjusted SOFR plus 1.75%. In addition, the company is subject to an unused commitment fee of between 0.11% and 0.275% (based on either the company’s leverage of net debt to LTM consolidated adjusted EBITDA, or the company’s credit ratings) which is applied to the unused portion of the Revolver.

​

Other Obligations

One of the company’s consolidated joint venture subsidiaries amended and restated its secured credit agreement and extended the maturity to June 2028, comprised of a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which is subject to a borrowing base determined from eligible accounts receivable and inventory.

​

Goodwill

The company’s goodwill consisted of the following at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31, | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | 2023 | ​ | 2022 | ​

​ | Steel Operations Segment | ​ | $ | 272,133 | ​ | $ | 272,133 | ​
​ | Metals Recycling Operations Segment | ​ | ​ | 203,413 | ​ | ​ | 228,009 | ​
​ | Steel Fabrication Operations Segment | ​ | ​ | 1,925 | ​ | ​ | 1,925 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 477,471 | ​ | $ | 502,067 | ​

​

Credit Losses

The company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment of accounts receivable by customers. The company mitigates its exposure to credit risk, which it generally extends on an unsecured basis, by performing ongoing credit evaluations and taking further action if necessary, such as requiring letters of credit or other security interests to support the customer receivable. The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable is based on the company’s reasonable estimate of known credit risks and historical experience, adjusted for current and anticipated economic and other pertinent factors affecting the company’s customers, that may differ from historical experience. Customer accounts receivable are written off when all collection efforts have been exhausted and the amounts are deemed uncollectible.

​

At June 30, 2023, the company reported $2,143 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances for credit losses of $7.9 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

​

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the weighted average dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding during the period applied to the company’s basic earnings per share. Common share equivalents represent potentially dilutive restricted stock units, deferred stock units, restricted stock, and performance awards, and are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. There were no anti-dilutive common share equivalents as of or for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments

The company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate commodity margin risk, and occasionally to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk, and have in the past to mitigate interest rate fluctuation risk. The company routinely enters into forward exchange traded futures and option contracts to manage the price risk associated with nonferrous metals inventory as well as purchases and sales of nonferrous metals (primarily aluminum and copper) and ferrous metals. The company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements.

Commodity Futures Contracts. If the company is “long” on futures contracts, it means the company has more futures contracts purchased than futures contracts sold for the underlying commodity. If the company is “short” on a futures contract, it means the company has more futures contracts sold than futures contracts purchased for the underlying commodity. The following summarizes the company’s significant futures contract commitments as of June 30, 2023:

Derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges had ineffectiveness resulting in gains of $348,000 and $10,000 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and gains of $47,000 and $295,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Gains excluded from hedge effectiveness testing of $1.4 million and $1.6 million decreased cost of goods sold during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Gains excluded from hedge effectiveness testing of $2.2 million and $1.1 million decreased cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges resulted in net gains of $321,000 and net losses of $21.4 million recognized in other comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and net gains of $2.3 million and net losses of $3.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Net gains of $1.3 million and $2.6 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and net gains of $2.1 million and net losses of $599,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023, the company expects to reclassify all $1.4 million of net gains on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next 12 months due to the settlement of futures contracts. The maximum term over which the company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows for forecasted transactions is less than 12 months.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:

| ● | Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

| ● | Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

| ● | Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

​

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and equivalents, and restricted cash approximate fair value (Level 1). The fair values of short-term investments and commodity futures contracts are estimated by the use of quoted market prices, estimates obtained from brokers, and other appropriate valuation techniques based on references available (Level 2). The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, as determined by quoted market prices (Level 2), was approximately $2.7 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, (with a corresponding carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet of $3.1 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022).

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

The company is involved in various routine litigation matters, including administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, governmental investigations, environmental matters, and commercial and construction contract disputes, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Note 8. Segment Information

The company’s operations are primarily organized and managed by reportable operating segments, which are steel operations, metals recycling operations, and steel fabrication operations. The segment operations are more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Operating segment performance and resource allocations are primarily based on operating results before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Intra-segment sales and any related profits are eliminated in consolidation. Amounts included in the category “Other” are from subsidiary operations that are below the quantitative thresholds required for reportable segments and primarily consist of joint ventures, including the company’s newly announced aluminum flat roll mill and the company’s idled Minnesota ironmaking operations. Also included in “Other” are certain unallocated corporate accounts, such as the company’s senior unsecured credit facility, senior notes, certain other investments and certain profit sharing expenses.

The company’s segment results, including disaggregated revenue by segment to external, external non-United States, and other segment customers, are as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains some predictive statements about future events, including statements related to conditions in domestic or global economies, conditions in steel, aluminum, and recycled metals market places, Steel Dynamics' revenues, costs of purchased materials, future profitability and earnings, and the operation of new, existing or planned facilities. These statements, which we generally precede or accompany by such typical conditional words as "anticipate", "intend", "believe", "estimate", "plan", "seek", "project", or "expect", or by the words "may", "will", or "should", are intended to be made as "forward-looking", subject to many risks and uncertainties, within the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements speak only as of this date and are based upon information and assumptions, which we consider reasonable as of this date, concerning our businesses and the environments in which they operate. Such predictive statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements. Some factors that could cause such forward-looking statements to turn out differently than anticipated include: (1) domestic and global economic factors; (2) global steelmaking overcapacity and imports of steel, together with increased scrap prices; (3) pandemics, epidemics, widespread illness or other health issues, such as COVID-19 or its variants; (4) the cyclical nature of the steel industry and the industries we serve; (5) volatility and major fluctuations in prices and availability of scrap metal, scrap substitutes and supplies, and our potential inability to pass higher costs on to our customers; (6) cost and availability of electricity, natural gas, oil, or other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions; (7) increased environmental, greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability considerations or regulations; (8) compliance with and changes in environmental and remediation requirements; (9) significant price and other forms of competition from other steel and aluminum producers, scrap processors and alternative materials; (10) availability of an adequate source of supply of scrap for our metals recycling operations; (11) cybersecurity threats and risks to the security of our sensitive data and information technology; (12) the implementation of our growth strategy; (13) litigation and legal compliance; (14) unexpected equipment downtime or shutdowns; (15) governmental agencies may refuse to grant or renew some of our licenses and permits; (16) our senior unsecured credit facility contains, and any future financing agreements may contain, restrictive covenants that may limit our flexibility; and (17) the impacts of impairment charges.

More specifically, we refer you to our more detailed explanation of these and other factors and risks that may cause such predictive statements to turn out differently, as set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the headings Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors for the year ended December 31, 2022, in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, or in other reports which we from time to time file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are available publicly on the Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov, and on our website, www.steeldynamics.com under “Investors – SEC Filings.”

Description of the Business

We are one of the largest domestic steel producers and metal recyclers in the United States, based on estimated steelmaking and steel coating capacity of approximately 16 million tons and actual metals recycling volumes, with one of the most diversified product and end market portfolios in the domestic steel industry, combined with meaningful downstream steel fabrication operations. Our primary sources of revenue are from the manufacture and sale of steel products, the processing and sale of recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals, and the fabrication and sale of steel joists and deck products.

Operating Statement Classifications

Net Sales. Net sales from our operations are a factor of volumes shipped, product mix and related pricing. We charge premium prices for certain grades of steel, product dimensions, certain smaller volumes, and for value-added processing or coating of our steel products. Except for the steel fabrication operations, we recognize revenues from sales and the allowance for estimated returns and claims from these sales at the point in time control of the product transfers to the customer, upon shipment or delivery. Our steel fabrication operations recognize revenues over time based on completed fabricated tons to date as a percentage of total tons required for each contract.

Costs of Goods Sold. Our costs of goods sold represent all direct and indirect costs associated with the manufacture of our products. The principal elements of these costs are scrap and scrap substitutes (which represent the most significant single component of our consolidated costs of goods sold), steel substrate, direct and indirect labor and related benefits, alloys, zinc, transportation and freight, repairs and maintenance, utilities such as electricity and natural gas, and depreciation.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all costs associated with our sales, finance and accounting, and administrative departments, including, among other items, labor and related benefits, and professional services.

Companywide profit sharing and amortization of intangible assets are each separately presented in the statement of income.

Interest Expense, net of Capitalized Interest. Interest expense consists of interest associated with our senior credit facilities and other debt, net of interest costs that are required to be capitalized during the construction period of certain capital investment projects.

Other (Income) Expense, net. Other income consists of interest income earned on our temporary cash deposits, short-term and other investments, and any other non-operating income activity, including income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method. Other expense consists of any non-operating costs, such as certain acquisition and financing expenses.

Results Overview

In the second quarter of 2023 we achieved quarterly steel shipments of 3.2 million tons, as steel demand remained strong, most notably in the automotive, construction, energy, and industrial sectors. Our metals recycling operations benefitted from continued steady domestic steel industry demand, while our steel fabrication segment again achieved historically strong results on continued solid non-residential construction demand.

Consolidated operating income decreased $554.3 million, or 34%, to $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Second quarter 2023 net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. decreased $397.4 million, or 33%, to $812.1 million, compared to the second quarter of 2022, consistent with the decreased operating income.

Consolidated operating income decreased $1.2 billion, or 39%, to $1.9 billion for the first half of 2023, compared to the first half of 2022. First half 2023 net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. decreased $864.1 million to $1.4 billion, compared to the first half of 2022, consistent with the decreased operating income.

Steel Operations Segment Results 2023 vs. 2022

During the second quarter of 2023, our steel operations achieved consistent shipments of 3.2 million tons (2.9 million excluding intra-segment) with the sequential quarter, including 356,000 tons from Sinton. Steel order activity remained steady, with the automotive, construction, industrial and energy sectors continuing to lead demand. Sheet steel pricing was substantially lower than the second quarter of 2022, as prices steadily declined throughout 2022, but continued their upward trend during the first half of 2023. Second quarter 2023 total steel segment average selling prices decreased 19%, or $289 per ton, compared to second quarter of 2022. Steel operations segment shipments increased 5% in the second quarter 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. Net sales for the steel operations in the second quarter 2023 decreased 15% compared to the same period in 2022, due to the decrease in average steel selling prices offsetting slightly increased shipments. Net sales for the steel operations decreased 17%, in the first half of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, again due to the decrease in average steel selling prices offsetting increased shipments.

Metallic raw materials used in our electric arc furnaces represent our single most significant steel manufacturing cost, generally comprising approximately 55% to 65% of our steel mill operations’ manufacturing costs. Our metallic raw material cost per net ton consumed in our steel operations decreased $94, or 18%, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, consistent with overall decreased domestic scrap pricing noted below in the metals recycling operations segment discussion. In the first half of 2023, our metallic raw material cost per ton decreased $79, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2022.

As a result of average selling prices decreasing more than scrap costs, specifically for sheet steel products, metal spread (which we define as the difference between average steel mill selling prices and the cost of ferrous scrap consumed in our steel mills) decreased 19% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. As a result of this metal spread compression, operating income for the steel operations decreased 36%, to $702.6 million, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. First half 2023 operating income decreased 54%, to $1.0 billion, compared to the first half of 2022 due primarily to a 29% decrease in metal spread.

Metals Recycling Operations Segment

Metals recycling operations includes both ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal processing, transportation, marketing, brokerage, and scrap management services. Our steel mills utilize a large portion of the ferrous scrap sold by our metals recycling operations as raw material in our steelmaking operations, and the remainder is sold to other consumers, such as other steel manufacturers and foundries. In the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, 62% and 68%, respectively, of metals recycling operations ferrous scrap was sold to our own steel mills, while our steel mill utilization (excluding Sinton) was 93% and 95% in the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Metals recycling operations accounted for 12% of our consolidated net sales during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 10% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Metals Recycling Operations Segment Results 2023 vs. 2022

During the second quarter of 2023, our metals recycling operations continued its positive momentum from the first quarter, benefitting from modestly higher domestic steel industry demand, resulting in higher scrap shipments. Net sales decreased 14% during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, driven by decreased average selling prices for both ferrous and nonferrous metals, which more than offset increased shipping volumes. Domestic steel mill utilization rates were approximately 76% in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to approximately 82% in the second quarter of 2022. Ferrous scrap average selling prices decreased 21% during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, while average nonferrous scrap prices decreased 22%. Ferrous metal spreads (which we define as the difference between average selling prices and the cost of purchased scrap) decreased 28% during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, while nonferrous metals spreads increased 43%. As a result of the compressed ferrous metals spreads, metals recycling operations operating income decreased 39% to $33.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Net sales for our metals recycling operations in the first half of 2023 decreased 7% compared to the same period in 2022, driven by decreased pricing while shipments increased. Ferrous scrap average selling prices decreased 17% during the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, while nonferrous average selling prices decreased 14%. Ferrous and nonferrous shipments increased 13% and 7%, respectively, in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022. Ferrous metal spreads decreased 18%, while nonferrous metal spreads increased 16% in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022. Metals recycling operations operating income in the first half of 2023 of $72.7 million decreased 27% from the first half of 2022, as decreased ferrous metal spread more than offset increased shipments.

Steel Fabrication Operations Segment

Steel fabrication operations include seven New Millennium Building Systems joist and deck plants located throughout the United States, and in Northern Mexico. Revenues from these plants are generated from the fabrication of steel joists, girders, trusses, and steel deck used within the non-residential construction industry. Steel fabrication operations accounted for 15% and 16% of our consolidated net sales during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 17% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Steel Fabrication Operations Segment Results 2023 vs. 2022

Our steel fabrication operations continue to benefit from the solid non-residential construction market, as evidenced by a strong order backlog that extends into 2024. The continued onshoring of manufacturing, coupled with the robust U.S. infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Act programs and industrial build-outs, supports consistent strong demand. Net sales for the steel fabrication operations decreased 28% during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, as average selling prices decreased $617 per ton, or 12%, while volume decreased 18%. Net sales for the segment decreased 18% during the first half of 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, as volume decreased 18%, and average selling prices were comparable year over year.

The purchase of various steel products is the largest single cost of production for our steel fabrication operations, historically representing approximately two-thirds of the total cost of manufacturing. The average cost per ton of steel consumed decreased 30% in the second quarter 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. As a result of decreased selling prices per ton more than offsetting decreased steel input costs per ton, metal spread (which we define as the difference between average selling prices and the cost of purchased steel) decreased 3% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This metal spread compression coupled with decreased volume, resulted in operating income decreasing 23% to $462.1 million in the second quarter 2023, compared to $599.2 million in the same period in 2022. For the first half of 2023, operating income decreased 50% to $1.0 billion compared to the first half of 2022, as a 16% increase in metal spread was more than offset by the 18% decrease in volume.

Other Operations

Second Quarter Consolidated Results 2023 vs. 2022

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $141.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 increased 19% from $118.4 million during the second quarter of 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 2.8% and 1.9% of net sales during second quarter 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Profit sharing expense during the second quarter of 2023 of $91.0 million decreased 35% from the $139.7 million during the same period in 2022, consistent with decreased pretax earnings. Profit sharing expense for eligible employees is 8% of consolidated pretax income excluding noncontrolling interests and other items.

Interest Expense, net of Capitalized Interest. During the second quarter of 2023, interest expense was $20.8 million, a decrease of $4.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. The lower interest expense in the second quarter 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was due to higher capitalized interest in 2023 related to construction at our Sinton and Heartland divisions and the aluminum flat rolled products mill.

Other (Income) Expense, net. Net other income was $31.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, due primarily to an increase in interest income of $24.0 million associated with an increase in invested cash and short-term investments.

Income Tax Expense. Second quarter 2023 income tax expense of $258.1 million, at an effective income tax rate of 24.0%, decreased 32% compared to the $381.8 million, at an effective income tax rate of 23.9%, during the second quarter of 2022, consistent with decreased pretax earnings.

First Half Consolidated Results 2023 vs. 2022

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $285.5 million during the first half of 2023 increased 6% from $270.4 million during the first half of 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 2.9% and 2.3% of net sales during first half of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Profit sharing expense during the first half of 2023 of $160.6 million decreased 40% from the $268.2 million during the same period in 2022, consistent with decreased pretax earnings.

Other (Income) Expense, net. Net other income was $66.3 million in the first half of 2023, compared to expense of $16.4 million in the first half of 2022, due primarily to an increase in interest income of $49.4 million associated with an increase in our invested cash and short-term investments in the first half of 2023, as well as an increase in net earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $13.2 million.

Interest Expense, net of Capitalized Interest. During the first half of 2023, interest expense of $43.3 million increased 2% from $42.3 million during the first half of 2022.

Income Tax Expense. First half 2023 income tax expense of $461.6 million decreased 37% compared to the $732.1 million during the first half of 2022, at an effective income tax rate of 24.0% during both periods, consistent with decreased pretax earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources and Long-term Debt. Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial expenditures for, among other things, the purchase and maintenance of equipment used in our operations, and to remain in compliance with environmental laws. Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from working capital requirements, capital expenditures, including expansion projects, principal and interest payments related to our outstanding indebtedness (no significant principal payments until 2024), dividends to our shareholders, and potential

22

Table of Contents

stock repurchases and acquisitions or investments. We have met and intend to continue to meet these liquidity requirements primarily with available cash and cash provided by operations, long-term borrowings, and we also have availability under our unsecured Revolver. Our liquidity at June 30, 2023, is as follows (in thousands):

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Cash and equivalents | ​ | $ | 1,475,356 | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Short-term and other investments | ​ | ​ | 837,340 | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Revolver availability | ​ | ​ | 1,190,829 | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Total liquidity | ​ | $ | 3,503,525 | ​ | ​ | ​

​

Our total outstanding debt of $3.1 billion is consistent with our total outstanding debt at December 31, 2022. Our total long-term debt to capitalization ratio (representing our long-term debt, including current maturities, divided by the sum of our long-term debt, redeemable noncontrolling interests, and our total stockholders’ equity) was 26.1% and 27.7% at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Our unsecured credit agreement has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (Facility), which provides a $1.2 billion unsecured Revolver. The unsecured Revolver is available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Facility contains financial covenants and other covenants pertaining to our ability to incur indebtedness and permit liens on certain assets. Our ability to borrow funds within the terms of the unsecured Revolver is dependent upon our continued compliance with the financial and other covenants. At June 30, 2023, we had $1.2 billion of availability on the Revolver, $9.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and other obligations which reduce availability, and there were no borrowings outstanding. Subsequent to June 30, the company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement, replacing the previous one, which has a senior unsecured credit facility (New Facility), which provides a $1.2 billion Revolver and matures in July 2028. Subject to certain conditions, we have the ability to increase the New Facility size by $500.0 million.

The financial covenants under our Facility state that we must maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50:1.00. Our interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing our last-twelve-months (LTM) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Facility (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other non-cash transactions as defined in the Facility) by our LTM gross interest expense, less amortization of financing fees. In addition, a debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60:1.00 must be maintained. At June 30, 2023, our interest coverage ratio and debt to capitalization ratio were 43.08:1.00 and 0.26:1.00, respectively. We were, therefore, in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2023, and we anticipate we will continue to be in compliance during the next twelve months.

Working Capital (representing excess of current assets over current liabilities). We generated cash flow from operations of $1.5 billion in the first half of 2023 compared to $1.8 billion in the same 2022 period. Working capital increased $31.3 million, or 11%, during the first half of 2023 to $5.6 billion at June 30, 2023, due primarily to a $289.2 million decrease in accrued payroll and benefits related to the payment of the 2022 company-wide profit sharing, partially offset by the current year’s accrual. Current assets decreased $242.0 million due to a decrease in cash and equivalents and inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

Capital Investments. During the first half of 2023, we invested $584.6 million in property, plant and equipment, primarily within our steel operations segment and previously announced aluminum flat roll mill, compared with $323.5 million invested during the same period in 2022. As announced in 2022, we plan to invest $2.5 billion in a new state-of-the-art low-carbon aluminum flat roll mill with two supporting satellite recycled aluminum slab centers, which is planned to be funded by available cash and cash flow from operations. Related expenditures began in the third quarter of 2022 and are expected to continue through 2025. We entered 2023 with ample liquidity of $3.4 billion and anticipate operating cash flow generation to provide for our planned 2023 capital requirements.

Cash Dividends. As a reflection of continued confidence in our current and future cash flow generation capability and financial position, we increased our quarterly cash dividend by 25% to $0.425 per share in the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter of 2023 (from $0.34 per share in 2022), resulting in declared cash dividends of $143.0 million during the first half of 2023, compared to $126.4 million during the same period in 2022. We paid cash

23

Table of Contents

dividends of $131.1 million and $115.0 million during the first half of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our board of directors, along with executive management, approves the payment of dividends on a quarterly basis. The determination to pay cash dividends in the future is at the discretion of our board of directors, after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated cash needs and growth plans.

Other. Our board of directors has authorized share repurchase programs during prior years, the most recent of which occurred in November 2022 for a program of up to $1.5 billion of the company’s common stock. Under the share repurchase programs, purchases take place as and when we determine in open market or private transactions made based upon the market price of our common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities or growth projects, our cash flows from operations, and general economic conditions. The share repurchase programs do not require us to acquire any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended, extended, or terminated by us at any time. The share repurchase programs do not have an expiration date. There were $734.2 million and $906.2 million of share repurchases during the first half of 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had $605.7 million remaining available to purchase under the November 2022 share repurchase program.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will depend upon general economic, financial, and business conditions, along with competition, legislation and regulatory factors that are largely beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure that our operating results, cash flows, access to credit markets and capital resources will be sufficient for repayment of our indebtedness in the future. We believe that based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, cash flows from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including borrowings under our Revolver, if necessary, will be adequate for the next twelve months for making required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, funding working capital requirements, and funding anticipated capital expenditures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the market risk and price fluctuations related to the sale of our products and to the purchase of raw materials used in our operations, such as metallic raw materials, electricity, natural gas and its transportation services, fuel, air products, zinc, and electrodes. Our risk strategy associated with product sales has generally been to obtain competitive prices for our products and to allow operating results to reflect market price movements dictated by supply and demand.

Our risk strategy associated with the purchase of raw materials utilized within our operations has generally been to make some commitments with suppliers relating to future expected requirements for some commodities such as electricity, water, natural gas and its transportation services, fuel, air products, zinc, and electrodes. Certain of these commitments contain provisions which require us to “take or pay” for specified quantities without regard to actual usage for periods of generally up to 5 years for physical commodity requirements and commodity transportation requirements, with some extending beyond, and for up to 15 years for air products and 29 years for water products. We utilized such “take or pay” requirements during the past three years under these contracts. We believe that production requirements will be such that consumption of the products or services purchased under these commitments will occur in the normal production process.

In our metals recycling and steel operations, we have certain fixed price contracts with various customers and suppliers for future delivery of nonferrous and ferrous metals. Our risk strategy has been to enter into base metal financial contracts with the goal to protect the profit margin, within certain parameters, that was contemplated when we entered into the transaction with the customer or vendor. At June 30, 2023, we had a cumulative unrealized gain associated with these financial contracts of $15 million, substantially all of which have a settlement date within the next twelve months. We believe the customer contracts associated with the financial contracts will be fully consummated.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

| (b) | Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
