These are the incorporation of Scope 3 emissions, primarily from raw material and semi-finished steel purchases from third parties&#59; an expanded boundary that now includes the hot-rolling process to better reflect the company&#8217;s industrial configuration&#59; and the adoption of the GHG Protocol methodology. The new target is a 15% reduction in emission intensity for hot-rolled steel by 2030, compared to a 2023 baseline, covering Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 Categories 1 and 10.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#666666;font-family:'Sabon MT Pro',serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The report is available at</font><font style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Sabon MT Pro',serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> www.ternium.com</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Sabon MT Pro',serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#666666;font-family:'Trade Gothic',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">About Ternium</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#666666;font-family:'Sabon MT Pro',serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Ternium is a leading steel producer in the Americas, providing advanced steel products to a wide range of manufacturing industries and the construction sector.
