|  | CHAIRMAN’S LETTER |

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 7

While 2024 saw Ternium continue to build its position as the leading steelmaker in Latin America, these achievements unfolded against the backdrop of mounting uncertainty in global markets, presenting new challenges and opportunities for continued growth. At our Pesquería complex in Mexico, we completed a new pickling line at the end of the year. In Brazil, Usiminas successfully resumed production at its Ipatinga blast furnace following its relining and modernization during 2023, and, in Argentina, we began operations at our new wind farm in December, which will supply 90% of the purchased energy requirements for our operations in the country.
Net sales amounted to $17.6 billion, in line with 2023, as we consolidated the results of Usiminas for the full year. Although shipments rose, steel prices fell through the year in our most relevant markets. EBITDA declined to $2.0 billion with a margin of 12%. Net income was $174 million, affected by a provision following an adverse court ruling in Brazil, which we continue to dispute. Our balance sheet remains solid with a net cash position of $1.6 billion at year-end. At our shareholders’ meeting, an annual dividend of $2.70 per ADS was approved, reflecting our commitment to maintain a competitive dividend payout over the years. This dividend considers a lower net income level in 2024, net of the provision for litigation in Brazil, and our extensive investment program over the next two years.
Our investment program is centered on our Pesquería complex in Mexico, where we are integrating advanced electric steelmaking and natural gas-based direct reduction facilities while expanding our downstream processing capacity for high-value flat steel products. Once these investments are complete, the Pesquería complex will be one of the most advanced steelmaking and processing sites in North America, compliant with USMCA “melted and poured” requirements and able to supply the ultra-high-strength steel products required by the automotive industry and other demanding industrial and construction applications.
Tariffs and trade tensions in recent months have created a climate of uncertainty, impacting business confidence and economic growth in North America and more widely. To the extent that the tariffs are intended to address unsustainable trade imbalances and China’s unfair trading practices, we are confident that Mexico will be recognized by the United States as a valuable ally and partner in strengthening manufacturing activity and addressing trade imbalances across North America and that the USMCA will be renewed with a favorable tariff treatment for its members and stricter rules of origin to prevent unfairly traded imports in the region.
In Mexico, amidst the current uncertainty concerning tariffs and the economy, the government is pursuing a “Plan Mexico” strategy to attract investment and increase the local and regional content of manufactured goods through nearshoring, infrastructure development and support for SMEs. Ternium is well placed to contribute to this strategy: it continues to consolidate its leading position in the domestic market as a supplier of advanced steel products for local industry and infrastructure projects, it is investing in developing capacity and products to replace imports, and it has its own ProPymes program which is designed to support the development of SMEs. Once the uncertainty concerning tariffs is lifted, we expect to see the Mexican industrial economy emerge stronger as part of a revitalized USMCA trading block.
In Brazil, the industrial markets that Usiminas serves have been growing strongly and, following the modernization of its Ipatinga blast furnace, it has increased sales and production while reducing costs. We continue to see, however, the pressure from unfairly traded steel imports as China increases its exports of surplus steel production to Latin

8. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

America, where Brazil is its largest regional trading partner. Although the government has taken some measures to limit such imports, their effectiveness is still to be seen.
In Argentina, the economy has started to recover following the government’s measures to reduce inflation and liberalize the economy. The transformation that is being undertaken is having profound effects on the economy and is expected to lay the foundations for growth for the years ahead following 15 years of stagnation. Last year, our sales in the Southern Region declined 33% compared to 2023 as volumes were affected by a contraction in the industrial and construction sectors. As 2025 progresses, we are seeing a recovery in demand in some sectors, such as energy, agriculture and mining, although some other sectors like construction continue to show subdued activity levels.
For Ternium, like other companies operating in the steel industry, decarbonization is a major challenge that will take many years and substantial investments to accomplish. The integration of state-of-the-art electric furnace steelmaking and direct reduction facilities into our operations in Pesquería, Mexico, represents a significant part of our plans to reduce the emissions intensity of our operations in line with our 2030 decarbonization target and prepare for further reductions thereafter. Our investment in a 99 MW wind farm, completed during 2024, to replace 90% of our purchased electric energy requirements in Argentina is an additional step towards that target. Usiminas has also established a 2030 target to reduce its emissions intensity by 15% compared to a 2019 baseline to which the recent modernization of the Ipatinga blast furnace will contribute. At the same time, we need to identify and develop economic, scalable technologies that will enable further decarbonization of our operations beyond 2030. In this respect, we are participating in a pilot plant to produce turquoise hydrogen through methane hydrolysis and are partnering with Vale to develop raw material products with lower carbon emissions intensity.
As an industrial company with a long-term perspective, the safety of our people, protection of the environment and support for the inclusive development of our communities are an integral part of our management agenda. In addition to our decarbonization program, we are advancing with a multi-year $550 million investment plan to enhance our environmental performance through improving the management of water and air emissions and maximizing the recycling and reuse of resources at our industrial facilities. This reflects our commitment to setting an example on managing environmental issues within our communities. Among the projects already implemented under this plan are the installation of a dome and iron ore silos to control dust emissions at our Guerrero plant in Mexico, the incorporation of technology for the measuring and control of air emissions in our plants in Argentina and Brazil and improvements in the settling ponds and water treatment systems throughout our industrial system.
In 2024, we invested a further $60 million in projects aimed at improving our safety performance. Many of our safety investments over the past four years have been in automation to reduce human participation in high-risk operations, such as continuous casting. This has resulted in a significant reduction in human exposure to hazardous conditions. This year, we received a Health & Safety Excellence Recognition from worldsteel for this safety program. Our performance during 2024, however, was affected by two fatalities. This is a major setback for Ternium, which has an absolute commitment to safety with its employees and its communities. We deeply regret the loss of life and are reinforcing all our actions on preventive activities with a focus on critical risks.

As we engage with our communities, our educational programs are at the forefront of our efforts to support inclusive growth. They are designed to open opportunities, encouraging merit and an entrepreneurial spirit. We accompany the development of students from a young age with our Roberto Rocca After School Program and are strengthening our network of Roberto Rocca Technical Schools. Early this year, we opened a new school in Santa Cruz, Brazil, which will receive 576 students over the next three years and will share curriculum and best practices with its sister schools in Pesquería, Mexico, and Campana, Argentina. These schools open their doors not only to their enrolled students but also act as professional training centers for their communities offering various Industry 4.0 training courses and certifications licensed by companies such as Festo and Siemens. The educational institutions are obtaining excellent results and the new school in Santa Cruz has created high expectations in the community surrounding our Brazilian slab mill.
Our employees are always at the center of our achievements. Our aim is to offer them the opportunities to develop their skills and potential in a respectful and dynamic working environment in which they are recognized for their contribution to our goals. We are also focused on enhancing diversity and improving the gender balance among our employees and in managerial positions, recognizing the positive benefits to our industrial culture that diversity can bring.
In closing, I would like to give a special thanks to them for their ongoing efforts and achievements over the past year. I would also like to thank our customers, suppliers, shareholders and communities for their continuing support for our project.
July, 2025

|  | OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY |

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 11

At Ternium, we believe that steel is much more than just a material, it is the backbone of progress in our societies. That is why our vision is rooted in producing steel responsibly, innovatively, and sustainably, while serving as a key driver of economic and social development across Latin America. We are making significant progress with the construction of our new DRI-EAF steel mill at the Industrial Center in Pesquería, Mexico. This project will be among the most sustainable of its kind in the Americas. The facility will have the capacity to produce 2.6 million tons of low-emission steel annually, including high-end exposed steel and advanced high-strength steel grades. All of this will be achieved while maintaining the lowest CO₂ emissions per ton in the market for these products. We also continued executing other initiatives outlined in our decarbonization roadmap. The latest one to be put in place was the wind farm in Olavarría, Argentina, which replaces 90% of our electricity purchases from the national grid with renewable energy, cutting approximately 111 thousand tons of CO₂ emissions each year. As a company, we are resolute in our commitment to minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment through continuous improvement and adherence to stringent environmental standards. Our company has achieved numerous certifications that underscore our commitment to sustainability, including ISO 14001, which highlights our robust environmental management system, and ISO 50001, demonstrating our commitment to energy efficiency. Our efforts extend beyond compliance with these certifications. We have implemented state-of-the-art technologies to reduce emissions, conserve energy, and optimize resource use. We believe that industrial growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand, and we are dedicated to forging a sustainable future through innovative practices, transparency, and a steadfast commitment to our environmental responsibilities. To become more competitive, sustainable and resilient, we are building the future of manufacturing on four essential pillars: the safety of our people, the protection of the environment, deep engagement with local communities, and the integration of smarter, more efficient technologies. These principles will continue to guide every step we take.

18. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

ABOUT THIS REPORT

This report provides a comprehensive overview of Ternium’s integrated strategy, including the progress made in 2024 across various economic, environmental, social and governance dimensions. It also highlights how the company’s actions contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The report has been prepared with reference to international standards issued by the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), as well as the guidelines of the worldsteel association, and follows the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) regarding climate change reporting.
Ternium S.A. is incorporated in Luxembourg and, as such, is subject to certain European regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In February 2025, the European Commission presented the “Omnibus Package” aimed at simplifying regulatory obligations and proposed amendments to several frameworks, including the CSRD. Based on this proposal, Ternium is expected to begin reporting sustainability information in 2028, covering fiscal year 2027, in accordance with the applicable requirements, which are currently under review.
Double materiality assessment
Regarding topic selection for disclosure, in late 2024 and the beginning of 2025, the company carried out a double materiality assessment aimed at identifying key issues for the business. Topics were mapped across Ternium’s value chain and validated with internal stakeholders to ensure coverage of all activities, relationships and geographic regions.
The process consisted of five stages: identification of relevant topics across the industry, impact materiality assessment, financial materiality assessment,
consolidation of the results and stakeholder engagement.
To identify relevant topics, an initial analysis of sustainability issues from various sources—such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Ternium’s Sustainability Report, ESG frameworks and standards, peer benchmarks, and industry associations—was conducted to develop a master list.
For impact materiality assessment, the company identified actual or potential, positive or negative impacts on people and/or the environment and linked them to the relevant ESRS subtopics available at the time. These impacts were then evaluated based on time horizon and severity (rated on a scale from 1 [least severe] to 5 [most severe]). For potential impacts, the likelihood of occurrence was also considered.
For the financial materiality assessment, risks and opportunities were evaluated based on time horizon, magnitude and likelihood of occurrence, using criteria aligned with internal risk management methodologies. For risks, magnitude referred to the potential extent of damage or disruption (e.g., financial loss), while for opportunities, it reflected the scale of potential benefits (e.g., financial gain). Likelihood was rated on a scale from 1 (unlikely) to 5 (certain), in line with internal practices.
The fourth step involved consolidating the findings by defining a materiality threshold. As a result, the material topics and subtopics identified were as follows: in the environmental dimension, climate change—including mitigation, adaptation and energy—was highlighted, along with pollution of air, soil and water, and water withdrawals, taking into account the location of the facilities. In the social dimension, relevant topics included the company’s workforce, with a focus on equal opportunities, working conditions and other work-related rights; workers in the value chain, particularly in terms of working conditions and safety; affected communities, addressing social and cultural

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 19

rights, including the specific rights of indigenous communities; and consumers and end-users, focusing on impacts related to product information and transparency. In the area of governance, material issues included corporate culture, anti-corruption and bribery, the management of supplier relationships, and the protection of whistleblowers. Additionally, other relevant topics identified by the company were innovation and technology, as well as cybersecurity.
For the stakeholder engagement, we conducted a survey based on seven questions. The aim was to assess stakeholders’ perceptions of Ternium’s current sustainability efforts and to identify areas of focus for future initiatives. We surveyed 655 internal and external stakeholders across the following groups: Employees, Customers, Suppliers, Financial Institutions, Community Members, Industry Chambers/Associations, Media and Universities. The stakeholder list was based on participants from Ternium’s previous materiality assessment, with updates to reflect organizational and contextual changes.
Ongoing stakeholder engagement
Beyond this process, the company continuously monitors stakeholder interests and includes relevant information in its disclosures to address their expectations. Some ongoing engagement initiatives include:
< Employees: We prioritize transparent communication
through feedback check-ins, town hall meetings, surveys and performance reviews. In 2024, our CEO hosted four “Live Talks” with Q&A sessions, attended by an average of 3,500 employees. We also organized Ternium’s Safety Day for employees and managers to address safety topics and improve operations.
< Customers: We maintain an open dialogue with our
customers to understand their needs and develop long-term partnerships that enhance supply chain and digital integration. In 2024, several customers invited us to participate in sustainability surveys and CSR audits and requested information about our performance for benchmarking in platforms such as CDP and EcoVadis.
< Suppliers: We collaborate closely with our suppliers to
strengthen the steel value chain, with the ProPymes
program playing a central role. Additionally, our procurement company Exiros—jointly owned with Tenaris—provides valuable insight into supplier priorities and concerns.
< Communities: Transparent communication with local
communities is one of Ternium’s core values. Over ten years ago, we launched the “One Mill, One Fan Page” strategy, linking each industrial facility to a dedicated Facebook Fan Page to facilitate community engagement. We currently operate eight local pages with 294 thousand followers, used to share timely and transparent information with community members, media and nearby institutions. We also organize in-person meetings led by Regional Presidents to listen to local concerns and provide operational updates.
< Investors: We maintain regular communication with
shareholders through meetings, calls and anonymous feedback, keeping them informed and aligned with current trends.
< Industry Associations: Our active participation in the
industry associations promotes collaboration, sharing of best practices, and the development of common standards for the future of the steel sector.
Scope alignment with financial statements
The company is working to harmonize the scope of sustainability reporting with that of its financial statements. In the meantime, reported indicators and KPIs do not include Usiminas, unless explicitly stated.

24. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

GOVERNANCE
The company has established a comprehensive governance system to address climate change across various levels. At the board level, the Vice-Chairman has been appointed to report quarterly on the progress of Ternium’s climate change strategy to the Board of Directors.
At the management level, a decarbonization committee, chaired by the CEO, regularly reviews performance indicators and the progress of decarbonization projects.
Climate change risks and their mitigation strategies are integrated into the company’s risk management system, with the critical risks committee oversight. Risks are first identified at the local level and then incorporated into a unified risk matrix that is assessed at least three times a year by this committee.
In terms of the policies and procedures established on the matter, Ternium’s Environmental and Energy Policy, updated in 2023, serves as the primary framework guiding the company’s environmental efforts. Among its key principles is a commitment to reduce emissions

| OUR STRUCTURE CLIMATE CHANGE GOVERNANCE |  |

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 25

intensity and the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality, subject to technological feasibility and local market conditions.
In 2024, the company reviewed its emissions intensity reduction target to include scope 3 emissions and better reflect our operational configuration and set a goal of a 15% reduction in intensity up to hot rolled by 2030 (compared to a 2023 baseline). This target encompasses Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions, including Category 1 (emissions from the production of raw materials and slabs/billets purchased from third parties) and Category 10 (emissions from third parties processing slabs and billets sold by Ternium), in line with the GHG Protocol’s guidelines: the Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004) and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard (2011).
Additionally, the investments included in Ternium’s decarbonization roadmap undergo a step-by-step approval process defined in the investment authorization procedure for projects, ensuring involvement and oversight at the highest management levels.
Both the timely and effective execution of decarbonization projects and the operational performance of Ternium’s sites, ensuring alignment with the decarbonization targets, are integral components of the annual incentive framework for the participating sectors, directors and the CEO.
Participation in global sustainability and trade forums
The company remains actively engaged in industrial forums and international initiatives to promote fair trade conditions across regions during the transition to a low-carbon economy. For instance, Ternium’s Global Sustainability Senior Director serves as the chairman of the environmental policy committees at both worldsteel and ALACERO. Additionally, several of the company’s directors and managers actively contribute to the working groups of these organizations, fostering collaboration and advancing sustainable industry practices.
INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE AND THE COMPANY’S INDUSTRIAL SCHEME
Steel is a fundamental material for modern societies, yet its production accounts for between 7% and 9% of global CO 2 emissions, according to worldsteel data. As reported in worldsteel’s latest sustainability indicators, in 2023, the global average emission intensity stood at 1.9 tCO 2 per ton of crude steel (Scopes 1, 2 and 3 Category 1 from the production of raw materials).
Emission intensity is determined by the production technology used, the availability of raw materials, the type of energy used and the characteristics needed in the final products. According to worldsteel, in 2023, 71.6% of global steel production relied on blast furnaces, with an average emission intensity of 2.3 tons of CO 2 per ton of crude steel cast (tCO 2/t). Electric arc furnaces (EAF) using scrap accounted for 20.4% of production, with an average emission intensity of 0.7 tCO 2/t, while EAFs using direct reduced iron (DRI) represented 8%, with an average emission intensity of 1.4 tCO 2/t.
As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, the steel production landscape is expected to evolve in the coming decades. With infrastructure and industrial development entering a replacement phase, scrap availability is projected to increase, facilitating the adoption of scrap-based technologies. Additionally, renewable energy is set to play a pivotal role in this transition, both for direct use in steelmaking processes and to produce green hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas in some processes in the long term. According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA Renewables 2024), global renewable capacity is expected to increase by over 5,520 GW between 2024 and 2030–2.6 times more than the deployment of the period 2017–2023.
Recognizing both the challenges and opportunities in the industry, Ternium prioritizes reducing emission intensity and improving energy efficiency as key pillars of its sustainability agenda.

STRATEGY
In 2024 the company updated its decarbonization target for 2030 to a 15% reduction in the CO 2e intensity up to hot rolling from a 2023 baseline, considering Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (category 1 and 10) under GHG Protocol methodology. These changes better reflect Ternium’s operational configuration, considering that our hot rolling capacity is higher than the steelmaking capacity, and the change in methodology allows the comparison with other industries and eventually compliance with international regulations
like the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Ternium’s decarbonization strategy for 2030 comprises five axes of work:
< Prioritizing low-emission production technologies
< Increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix
< Expanding the capacity for CO 2 capture and usage
< Advancing in energy efficiency initiatives and improving industrial performance
< Increasing the use of scrap in the metallic mix.

Pesquería: at the core of our sustainable growth strategy
At the heart of our sustainable growth strategy is the Industrial Center in Pesquería, where we are developing a state-of-the-art steelmaking facility based on Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology. This facility will have a significantly lower carbon intensity compared to conventional steelmaking processes, reinforcing our commitment to reducing emissions and enhancing environmental performance.
The DRI module will utilize ENERGIRON technology, an advanced DRI process jointly developed by Tenova (a company from the Techint Group) and Danieli. ENERGIRON stands out for its high energy efficiency and reduced CO 2 emissions. It is equipped with carbon capture features, allowing for the efficient removal and repurposing of CO 2, contributing to our broader decarbonization goals. It is also adaptable to hydrogen-based reduction when economically viable. Additionally, the DRI installation includes a direct

28. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

pneumatic transport system for hot DRI to the EAF, further optimizing energy consumption.
The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) will incorporate cutting-edge energy efficiency technologies, including the Consteel® system by Tenova. Consteel® is a continuous scrap charging and preheating system that enhances process stability while reducing electricity consumption. Additionally, the CONSTEERER system will provide real-time process optimization, improving energy efficiency and reducing electrode consumption. Together, these technologies will enhance industrial performance while lowering the facility’s carbon footprint.
Beyond emissions reduction, the facility’s design integrates additional environmental safeguards. The iron ore storage area has been designed to minimize diffuse emissions, incorporating domes and enclosed material handling circuits to prevent airborne dust. Moreover, water management is a critical component of our sustainability strategy. For its cooling processes, the facility will use treated sewage water, which is then filtered within the Industrial Center to
meet the required process quality standards, thereby preserving natural water resources.
References considered when assessing Ternium’s strategy
The decarbonization roadmap was developed considering Ternium’s current industrial configuration, the available technologies at industrial scale in the world, the availability of certain raw materials and the advancement of local regulations. The strategy was designed in accordance with the IEA Stated Policies Scenario and Sustainable Development Scenarios published in October 2020 and the general commitments made by each country for 2030 that were assessed with a high probability of materializing.
As an example, the embedded emission intensity rate for the company’s crude steel products for the year 2030 (Scopes 1 and 2) is 1.35 tons of CO 2e per ton of crude steel, calculated using the GHG Protocol methodology. This intensity rate is more ambitious than the 1.5 tons of CO 2 per ton of crude steel (Scopes 1 and 2) estimated by the IEA Sustainable Development Scenario for the steel sector for the same year.

Internal carbon price (ICP)
The company has an internal carbon price of $80 per ton of CO 2 in the assessment of investment projects. Its purpose is to assess the potential financial impacts of carbon emission pricing mechanisms. The methodology for its implementation is shadow pricing, a hypothetical price per ton of CO 2 emitted considering Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (when applicable) emissions, and the amount is defined based on global references. This tool was implemented to help in the sensitivity analysis of investment projects.
Looking ahead: beyond 2030
Ternium has the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations and products. With that in mind, we are mapping different alternatives in each region regarding CCUS technologies, the use of biomass, biofuels and hydrogen, aiming to determine the most economically feasible way to decarbonize our operations.
One of the recent initiatives in this effort is Ternium’s participation in the Tulum Energy project, supported by TechEnergy Ventures, the investment fund of Tecpetrol, and developed in collaboration with Tenova, both companies part of the Techint Group. The Tulum Energy project focuses on the production of turquoise hydrogen through methane pyrolysis, aiming to provide a cost-effective and scalable solution for hydrogen production. This innovative process breaks down natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon without emitting direct CO 2, offering a cleaner alternative for industrial applications.
The pilot plant is being developed at Ternium’s Industrial Center in Pesquería, Mexico. The facility will utilize a plasma reactor powered by an electric arc, leveraging existing steel industry technology to efficiently extract hydrogen while capturing solid carbon. By exploring turquoise hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source, we reinforce our commitment to advancing sustainable steel production and contributing to the global energy transition.
We have also established strategic partnerships with suppliers like Vale in Brazil. In this case, we have joined

efforts to explore the development of new products aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of raw materials and diversifying the feedstock for Ternium’s blast furnace and direct reduction operations. We expected to run tests at industrial scale during 2025.
Recognizing the potential of Latin America for nature-based decarbonization solutions, Ternium is analyzing its participation in projects for biomass production and utilization, as well as the protection and reforestation of affected areas. These efforts would allow the company to offset residual emissions in the long term while promoting human well-being and biodiversity.

Risk assessment
Climate risks are part of the company’s risk management and are assessed locally and corporately.
Decarbonization catalysts
Ternium’s decarbonization efforts are influenced by various external factors that will shape the viability and timing of projects in the coming decades:
< Economic incentives: Such as tax reductions or direct
government investments, which are key to advancing the decarbonization roadmap. As an example, in February 2025, the European Commission launched the Clean Industry Pact with EUR 100 billion to support clean manufacturing in the EU. To mobilize these funds, the Commission will facilitate the approval of state aid aimed at renewable energy, industry decarbonization, and scaling up clean technology manufacturing capacity; stimulate research and development; and amend regulations to increase financial guarantees for supporting investments. Similar incentives in regions where Ternium operates could help accelerate its decarbonization efforts.
< Development of infrastructure necessary like an electrical grid:
With electricity demand and supply projected to increase substantially in the coming years, it’s critical that the grid is capable of managing both the scale and variability of power. Governments should establish clear frameworks for grid operators to facilitate timely investments and translate targets set to different sectors into specific regional capacities that can meet future requirements.
< New legislation: Implementing carbon capture and storage
(CCS) technologies require specific regulatory frameworks. Brazil is progressing towards establishing a
legal structure for CCS activities, potentially becoming the first South American nation to do so. In Mexico, regions with a high potential for CO 2 utilization and storage have been identified, but comprehensive regulations and carbon market mechanisms are still needed to facilitate CCS projects.
< Fair competition: Given the disparity in actions among
countries in addressing the challenge of climate change, it is essential for governments to support national industries that are making efforts to protect the environment. This stands in contrast to raw materials/goods coming from countries with less stringent environmental requirements. Defending these environmentally responsible products and industries promotes equitable competition and ensures that efforts made towards sustainability are recognized and rewarded.
< Common emissions measurement methodologies: Currently,
there are various standards for carbon emission accounting and determining the carbon footprint of products. A common and interoperable industry standard would enable the comparison of steel products and empower consumers to make well-informed decisions.
< Consumer preference: Differential pricing for products manufactured with lower emissions would encourage investment and the development of new technologies.
RISKS
According to Ternium’s Risk Management Policy, climate-related risks are identified and assessed locally with the involvement of the environmental, industrial, planning, legal, and risk management departments. All identified risks are categorized in a matrix considering their economic impact and probability of occurrence. Risks are reviewed at least three times a year, and those classified as significant, very significant, or critical are analyzed in the Critical Risks Committee, chaired by the CEO. During these meetings, each business unit presents its mitigation plans, which are then approved by the committee.

CLIMATE CHANGE RISK ANALYSIS

RISK TYPE |  | CLASSIFICATION |  | DESCRIPTION |  | EXAMPLES
Transition |  | Legislation |  | Changes in carbon pricing mechanisms or new laws could increase production costs and capital expenditures, negatively affecting the company’s competitiveness. |  | Current legislation on carbon taxes with different scopes are implemented in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. ▪Argentina: Natural gas is not included (2017 reform). ▪Brazil: The Sistema Brasileiro de Comércio de Emissões (SBCE) was recently approved and is expected to regulate activities that emit more than 25,000 tons of CO 2e per year. This mixed CAP & TRADE system will include both regulated and voluntary markets, and its implementation will take place in five phases, with economic effects expected by 2030. Its regulation is still pending. ▪Mexico: Natural gas is not covered by the national carbon tax. The final rules and regulations of the Sistema de Comercio de Emisiones (SCE) are still pending, and it is expected that the operational phase will begin in the short term. Furthermore, some states may impose carbon emissions taxes on top of the national carbon tax. ▪Colombia: Natural gas for the steel industry is not covered by the fossil fuel tax.
|  | Market |  | Changes in customer preference could impact the sales level. |  | ▪Shifts in customer preferences and failure to respond to stakeholders’ demand for climate-related measures could adversely affect the ability or willingness of our customers or suppliers to do business with us, harm our reputation, erode stakeholder support and restrict or reduce access to financial resources. ▪The changing landscape could reshape market dynamics, thereby intensifying competitive pressures and increasing the demand for scale-up and commercialization of low-emission steel.
|  | Technology |  | The development of new production technologies requires significant investment and scale-up of commercialization. |  | ▪Approximately 72% of the global steel industry relies on blast furnace technology (using coking coal as a reducing agent). Currently, there is no definitive solution to drastically reduce CO 2 emissions from this route, which is still necessary given raw materials and scrap availability as well as the technical characteristics of final products. ▪Increased likelihood of abrupt policy interventions as governments attempt to meet their environmental goals.
Physical |  | Chronic |  | Changes in the water level of navigable channels hinder the provision of raw materials, increasing production costs. |  | Changes in precipitation patterns and extreme variability in weather patterns have led to low water levels in the Paraguay and Paraná waterways, intermittently disrupting the supply of iron ore to Ternium Argentina. This has forced the company to obtain this raw material from an alternative source at a higher cost and increase its iron ore inventories.
|  | Acute |  | Extreme weather events and natural disasters could affect business operations, the workforce markets, infrastructure, raw materials, and assets of companies. |  | ▪Extreme weather conditions in southern United States and northern Mexico have disrupted the supply of natural gas and energy to operations in Mexico, negatively impacting steel production levels. ▪Droughts in Monterrey, Mexico, affect the availability of drinking water for the community, so the company is continuously using alternative sources and making a more efficient use of this resource. ▪Heavy rains in Brazil and Argentina have hindered personnel access to facilities, limiting steel production.

32. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

Ternium classifies climate-related risks into two categories: transition risks and physical risks.
Regarding physical risks, during 2021 and 2022, the company engaged an external consultant to assess the exposure of its assets and provide a conclusion on the level of risk (Risk Index) considering the established preventive measures. The analysis considered the exposure and vulnerability to five types of events:
< Pluvial flooding
< Tropical cyclones
< Landslides
< Forest fires
< Droughts
Prediction models were based on Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP): 4.5 (intermediate) and 8.5 (extreme with very high GHG emissions) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and covered the periods 2020 to 2039 and 2040 to 2059.
The analysis concluded that Ternium’s facilities do not pose significant risks, given the level of exposure and the mitigation and adaptation measures already implemented by the company across the scenarios and time periods analyzed. These results remain relevant, and the company is exploring options to establish a more frequent monitoring system.
OPPORTUNITIES
Currently, Ternium is focused on developing a range of lighter steel products while maintaining durability and strength. In the renewable energy sector, Ternium supplies galvanized steel to manufacturers of support structures for solar panels in Mexico and Argentina. Furthermore, the hot rolling mill in Pesquería, Mexico, is equipped with technology that enables the production of high-value-added steels for the automotive industry. For the construction sector, Ternium has designed a family of coated steels and sustainable insulation panels, combining environmentally friendly components and energy-saving solutions.
The company continuously strives to develop new products with a strong focus on sustainability. In 2024, we submitted two projects to the "Innovation of the

STEEL RAW MATERIALS |  |  | Scrap is a key raw material for the steel industry. In 2024, Ternium used 2.7 million tons in its production process, a figure expected to grow with the construction of the scrap yard in Brazil and the start-up of the DRI-EAF in Pesquería.

sustainability while incorporating recycled materials to support circular economy principles and reduce environmental impact.
In 2024, Ternium sold approximately $232 million worth of products for use in renewable energy projects, electric vehicles, transportation solutions designed to reduce weight or increase capacity, and packaging that is more environmentally friendly compared to alternative materials.
2024 PERFORMANCE
In 2024, Ternium’s CO 2e emission intensity rate for hot-rolled steel (Scopes 1, 2 and 3, category 1 and 10) under the GHG Protocol methodology was 2.2 tons of CO 2 e
per ton of hot-rolled steel equivalent. Under the worldsteel methodology, the emission intensity for crude steel (Scope 1 and 2) in 2024 was 1.7 tons of CO₂ per ton of crude steel. This figure is consistent with previous years and aligns with the global steel industry average, according to worldsteel data.
Throughout the year, the company continued the execution of its decarbonization projects:
< Renewable energy: The wind farm in Olavarría,
Argentina, began operations, marking a significant milestone in the company’s renewable energy initiatives. The wind farm features 22 turbines, each with a capacity of 4.5 megawatts, totaling an installed capacity of 99 megawatts. This facility is expected to generate approximately 480 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy

annually, enabling Ternium to replace about 90% of the electricity it currently purchases from the national grid in Argentina. This shift will result in an estimated reduction of 111 thousand tons of CO 2 emissions each year.
< Utilization of low CO 2 emission technologies: Continuation of
the construction of the steel mill in Pesquería (Mexico), based on DRI-EAF technology. The project incorporates the use of renewable energy, CO 2 capture, and the potential transition from natural gas to green hydrogen in the DRI module when economically feasible. Commissioning is expected by 2026.
< CO 2 capture and usage: During 2024 the company captured
and sold 274 thousand tons of CO 2, equivalent to the annual CO 2 emissions of 59 thousand gasoline-powered passenger vehicles, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This helps
prevent emissions in other industries, such as carbonated beverages and chemicals. Given the positive experience in Mexico, studies are underway for CO 2 capture and usage at our facilities in Brazil.
< Increase of scrap in the metallic mix: The scrap yard
construction project in Brazil is underway to increase the scrap share of this steel mill up to 16%. The project is expected to be completed by 2025.
< New raw materials for use in blast furnaces: The company is
actively exploring the partial replacement of coal in our facilities in Argentina and Brazil. It conducted successful pilot and industrial tests for the use of various types of charcoal derived from biomass and forestry as a substitute for mineral coal in the coking facilities at its steelmaking sites in Brazil and Argentina. Efforts are now underway to identify charcoals with sustainable certification at a competitive price.
Ternium anticipates that emission intensity will begin to decrease in 2027, as decarbonization projects are completed and reach their full operational stage.
Implementation of systems for GHG inventory management and calculation
As part of Ternium’s GHG management system, the company has an online platform to calculate GHG emissions using the carbon balance approach outlined by the GHG Protocol methodology. This system allows us to manage emissions at the process line level across all our operations, improving transparency and accuracy in our calculations and facilitating the successful verification of our inventory by an external third party for the fourth consecutive year. The company continues to advance the systematization of products’ carbon footprint calculations.
Furthermore, as part of our sustainable sourcing practices and efforts to improve the accuracy of Ternium’s corporate GHG emissions inventory, we are actively collecting data on the emissions intensity of raw materials and steel purchased from third parties. This initiative strengthens our Scope 3 emissions assessment and helps identify key suppliers for further engagement. As a result of the 2024 campaign, 84% of scope 3 emissions from raw materials and steel purchases were

calculated using specific supplier data. Additionally, in 2024, all relevant categories (C1, C3 and C4) and certain non-relevant categories (C5, C6, C9, and C10) were included in our corporate inventory.
It is worth noting that significant work remains for the industry as a whole to establish common criteria for measuring the different categories of Scope 3 emissions. worldsteel is actively working on updating emission factors for aluminum and ferroalloy production, and is analyzing the inclusion of upstream methane emissions from natural gas and coal production. We have already updated some Scope 3 emission factors, but we anticipate that these initiatives could impact Scope 3 measurements in the future.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Ternium is committed to improving its environmental and energy management systems. The company operates
with the aim of achieving a circular economy and minimizing CO 2 emissions through efficient energy management.
Depending on the technology used, Ternium’s power plants in Brazil and Argentina reuse recovered residual gases from iron and steel production processes, such as blast furnace gas (BFg), basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFg), and coke oven gas (COg), as well as residual heat from coke production.
The power plant in Brazil supplies energy to the steel production process and sells 40% of the electricity generated to the national grid and private off takers. Additionally, the company is reducing its natural gas consumption in Brazil by using biomethane obtained from urban solid waste. The substitution rate of fossil natural gas with biomethane was around 22% in 2024, making it a flexible and renewable energy source.
In Argentina, the company uses process gases to produce electricity that partially covers its needs. In 2024 we

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 37

inaugurated the wind farm in Olavarría that will replace 90% of the electricity currently purchased from third-parties.
In Mexico, Ternium contracts the supply of electricity to Techgen, a combined-cycle power plant owned in partnership with Tenaris and Tecpetrol. Of Techgen’s 900-megawatt capacity, Ternium purchases 78% for its own use and sells the surplus to the Mexican market. The use of electricity from Techgen represents a reduction in Ternium’s scope 2 market-based emissions compared to using electricity from the national grid. Additionally, in 2024 Ternium acquired, through Techgen, clean energy certificates equivalent to almost 10% of its electricity consumption in Mexico.
Looking ahead, Ternium aims to achieve a 40% share of renewable electricity of the purchased electricity by 2030 (up to hot rolling process).
Energy efficiency: Ternium’s commitment to continuous improvement
Energy efficiency plays a vital role in decarbonization efforts, as electricity consumption from fossil sources is directly related to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, reducing electricity consumption leads to economic savings and, depending on the project, an improvement in overall productivity.
In 2014, the company launched a comprehensive energy efficiency program to identify and exploit energy-saving opportunities. Since then, the program has expanded and is reviewed annually in light of the latest technological advancements and market best practices.
Some of the projects executed during 2024 include:
< In Argentina: We replaced ladle dryers in the steel
manufacturing process to optimize natural gas consumption. This project led to a reduction of over 2.0 million m³ of natural gas per year, equivalent to mitigating more than 4,000 tons of CO 2 annually. Additionally, throughout 2024, the company continued upgrading lighting systems across its plants. At the San Nicolás facility, 67% of traditional high-bay lights were replaced with LED technology, along with 95% of roadway lighting.

Additionally, we have achieved a 92% progress rate in replacing outdated lighting systems with LED technology at the Guerrero, Pesquería, and Tenigal plants. Over the past year, this initiative has resulted in energy savings of approximately 54,000 GJ.
Furthermore, a project is currently underway to enhance the electricity measurement system at the Guerrero plant, with more than 100 devices already installed.
< In Brazil: The blast furnace regenerator system (hot blast
stoves) optimization project is currently in progress. This initiative aims to increase the blast temperature by approximately 130°C compared to the baseline year, enhancing furnace efficiency. As a result, the

38. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

consumption of fossil-based reducing agents, such as coke and PCI, will be reduced, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
Finally, Ternium’s energy management system is certified under ISO 50001. Currently, the facilities in Puebla, Guerrero and Pesquería in Mexico, San Nicolás in Argentina (except for industrial services), and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil are certified under this standard. For more information, please refer to Annex 2: Certifications in this report.
USIMINAS’ DECARBONIZATION COMMITMENT
As part of its commitment to sustainability, Usiminas has developed the 2030 Decarbonization Plan, an integral part of its ESG strategy. This plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emission intensity by 15% per ton of steel produced by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year, considering scope 1 and scope 2 and calculated using worldsteel methodology. To achieve this, Usiminas focuses on four key pillars: Energy Efficiency, Biomass, Raw Material Optimization, and Renewable Energy. The plan is overseen by the Decarbonization Committee, which includes the company’s top leadership and is dedicated to driving progress.
The company quantifies its emissions annually through corporate GHG inventories following the GHG Protocol and WSA methodologies, with third-party verification in accordance with NBR 14.064 standards and recognition with the Gold Seal in the Public Emissions Registry –GHG Protocol. In 2024, Usiminas achieved a CO 2 emission intensity of 2.16 tCO 2 per ton of steel produced (considering scope 1 and 2), an improvement over the previous year, demonstrating continued progress in reducing its carbon footprint. For more information, please refer to Usiminas’s 2024 Sustainability Report.

44. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

2024 PERFORMANCE
The following section describes Ternium’s approach to managing different environmental aspects of the production process, the projects recently executed or planned for the coming years, and the performance achieved during 2024.
Water management
Ternium places a strong emphasis on responsible water management in its operations, implementing a site-specific strategy that considers the unique characteristics of each operating location. Through continuous adoption of cutting-edge technologies, Ternium aims to enhance water management practices across the entire cycle, from intake to discharge, thereby reducing its environmental footprint and promoting sustainable water usage.
In 2024, Ternium’s total water intake, which includes steelmaking, downstream processing, and electricity production, amounted to 754 million m 3. Only 2% came from regions classified as having high or extremely high water stress according to the Water Risk Atlas of the World Resources Institute (WRI) version 4.0. The primary use of water was for the power plants in Argentina and Brazil, where nearly all intake is returned to its source. As a result, total water consumption, representing water lost in the process (mainly due to evaporation), amounted to only 7% of the annual intake in 2024. Excluding power plants, water intake for steelmaking and downstream processes in 2024 was 167 million m 3, with approximately 10% located in high or extremely high water stress areas (Mexico).
Over the years, Ternium has developed various strategies to minimize water usage at its Mexican steel facilities, achieving a water use intensity rate of just 3.2 cubic meters per ton of crude steel produced in 2024 (including reused water). This figure significantly contrasts with the average intake intensity of 28.1 m 3 per ton of crude steel in Electric Arc Furnace technology facilities reported in a 2011 worldsteel study.
The company has also consistently increased its use of third-party water in Mexico, primarily treated sewage water from external wastewater treatment plants or sourced directly from municipal sewage systems.

Consequently, treated sewage water accounted for 53% of water intake at Ternium’s Mexican steel facilities in 2024, with the Pesquería facility sourcing 95% of its water from treated sewage instead of groundwater.
As water plays a significant role in Ternium’s production system, both in cooling machinery and steam generation, and considering that water availability varies across its locations, the company views water as a critical resource in designing new facilities. As an example, the Palmar de Varela facility in Colombia, inaugurated in 2021, operates with a 100% closed circuit system, replenishing water lost only due to evaporation and purges. Similarly, the hot rolling mill in Pesquería, Mexico, follows this closed-circuit principle.

WATER TREATMENT AT TERNIUM'S FACILITIES |  |  | To support sustainable water management, Ternium’s steel facilities in Mexico use treated sewage water, significantly reducing their dependence on groundwater sources.

Moreover, Ternium’s water management system ensures that water discharged is cooled, treated and safely returned to its source. With this approach, the company rigorously monitors the quality of water intake and discharge to comply with local environmental regulations. All facilities assess water quality using multiple physicochemical and bacteriological parameters. At the corporate level, Ternium developed a managerial platform for monthly monitoring of KPIs related to the intake, reuse, consumption and discharge of all operational steelmaking and downstream processes sites.
Some recent projects related to water management are the following:
Mexico
At the Guerrero facility, we implemented effluent treatment processes to increase the availability of reused water and reduce groundwater extraction, like the installation of a reverse osmosis processes. This enables water to be reused while achieving high quality standards. In 2024, storm Alberto raised reservoir levels and temporarily eased water availability issues in Nuevo León. However, as the region remains classified as water-stressed, a comprehensive water plan is being developed to reduce groundwater use at the Guerrero and Apodaca facilities and to enhance discharge control and water reuse practices.

46. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

A continuous commitment
Ternium has developed a series of initiatives to control and reduce air emissions at the source, improve the treatment of process gases and ensure compliance with local air emissions standards.
Argentina
We are advancing in the unification of discharge streams at the San Nicolás facility by channeling and pumping all effluents into a single sedimentation unit. This integration will simplify the monitoring of effluent quality and strengthen our efforts to improve water management across the site.
Additionally, a new sludge dewatering unit using geobags was installed at the steel shop’s water treatment plant. This system helps to reduce sedimentable material in the treated river water and produces inert sludge that can be repurposed for various applications, while also enhancing the quality of the final effluent.
Brazil
We implemented an online monitoring system to track water reuse across the operations. Through the development of a digital dashboard within the Plant Information Management System (PIMS)—based on existing flow meters—water reuse flows became visible
in real time. As a result, water reuse increased almost 2% from 2023 to 2024. Additionally, the company launched a potable water use reduction plan aimed at improving efficiency. Key actions included identifying and prioritizing areas without flow measurement instruments, setting consumption targets based on historical data, inspecting and upgrading infrastructure through the installation of automatic valves and faucets, and promoting the use of reused water in place of potable water in selected processes. The initiative also involved internal communication campaigns to raise awareness about water consumption.
Air quality management
Atmospheric emissions, which extend beyond carbon dioxide (CO 2), pose a significant challenge in the industrial sector due to their impact on air quality and the environment. The main emissions from the steel industry are NOx, SOx, and particulate matter (PM). Controlling and reducing emissions are environmental imperatives and a social responsibility for all industrial companies.
Aware of this responsibility, Ternium has developed a series of initiatives to reduce air emissions at the source, improve the treatment of its process gases, and ensure compliance with air emissions standards at each location. Some of the projects under execution or finalized are the following:
Mexico
We implemented a range of initiatives at the Guerrero facility with the aim of minimizing diffuse emissions, particularly in raw material handling, steelmaking and direct reduction operations. These measures include using dust suppressors with reused water during operations and applying a mixture of molasses and reused water on roads and pathways to control particulate matter. Some of the infrastructure projects include upgrades to the direct reduction iron handling system and installation of a new dust collector, construction of the roofing of slag pits and modifications to the transfer system to improve dust containment and material preservation. Additional measures include the construction of silos for fume house dust, sealing of the steel shop and caster building façades and the installation of a gas scrubbing system for cold venting at the continuous feeding area. In the

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 47

Alzada facility we introduce a sulfur flotation plant to enhance environmental performance.
Argentina
At the San Nicolás facility, we have implemented several initiatives to strengthen air quality management. These include the renewal of the steel shop’s dust collection, transport, and flow control systems, significantly improving dust capture efficiency. Additionally, new igniters were installed in the coke batteries to ensure more effective combustion of gases emitted through the flaring system. The facility is also equipped with an air quality monitoring system based on LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, installed in previous years, which enables real-time data collection to support environmental management.
Brazil
As part of a broader technological upgrade, new particulate matter (PM) monitors were installed at the three air quality monitoring stations located in the community’s surrounding areas. Additionally, a project was launched to enhance the management of continuous emissions monitoring data, enabling the integration of key process variables associated with emissions into an online platform, with system testing scheduled for 2025. To improve operational continuity and emission control, a Switch Over Station (SOS) was installed at the steel shop, allowing electrostatic precipitators to be switched for maintenance without halting the converter. The company also completed a revamping of the electrostatic precipitators in both the

steel shop and the sinter plant. Further improvements include an ongoing project to revitalize the coke plant to ensure long-term refractory integrity and reduce potential diffuse emissions. Additionally, the Automatic Network for Monitoring Fugitive Particulate Emissions (RAMP) project is underway at the co-products yard. This project is part of a larger plan that includes all yards that receive, process and store co-products.
Material efficiency and recycling
Steel plays a key role in building a more sustainable future, thanks to its ability to be endlessly recycled without any loss in quality or property.
At Ternium, all steel scrap generated at the company’s facilities is fully recycled. Additionally, Ternium sources scrap from external scrap-processing companies and collection firms. In 2024, the company recycled 2.7 million tons of steel scrap to produce new steel, without affecting the final properties of steel products.
Local governments have a critical role to play in advancing the circular economy by encouraging the reuse and commercialization of co-products and scrap metal from the steelmaking process. A key step would be formally recognizing scrap as a key raw material rather than as waste. This regulatory shift would modernize waste management practices, promote sustainability, and unlock the full potential of circularity in the steel value chain.
Ternium is also committed to minimizing waste and maximizing material efficiency across its operations. For example, fines from raw materials (iron ore, coal, coke, lime and dolomite), as well as dust and sludge from effluent treatment systems, are recovered through sintering and briquetting processes to be reused as raw materials, thereby avoiding waste generation and reducing the consumption of virgin raw materials.
The company generates a range of co-products—including blast furnace and steel shop slag and various chemical substances—which are sold and used by other industries, helping them reduce both raw material consumption and energy use. This, in turn, has a positive impact on CO₂ emissions and waste generation
across the value chain. In facilities with blast furnaces, the granulated slag is sold to the cement industry as a substitute for clinker. Additionally, the slag generated in the steel shop is also used to consolidate roads and therefore avoid the use of new materials. In Mexico, the dust and slag generated by the electric-arc furnaces at our Guerrero and Puebla facilities and the scales from our hot rolling mills in Pesquería and Churubusco are transformed into Mix Rock®, an innovative co-product developed and registered by Ternium, and other mixes. In 2024, Ternium sold 141 thousand tons of Mix Rock® and other mixes to the cement industry.
The company also uses process gases generated during the processing of metallurgical coal in the Blast Furnace route to generate co-products. In Argentina, Ternium treats these gases and produces chemical products such as tar and benzol, which are sold to third parties.
As a result of these and other initiatives, in 2024 Ternium achieved a material efficiency rate of 98.8% in its steel operations, with 4.5 million tons of co-products and recovered materials either reused internally or sold to other industries.
Life cycle and environmental product declarations
Ternium evaluates the life cycle of its steel products and actively participates in worldsteel’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) initiatives to better understand and improve their environmental footprint.
In line with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, LCAs provide a comprehensive inventory of the energy and materials used throughout the steel value chain, enabling a more accurate assessment of environmental impacts. In 2024, Ternium’s LCA reporting covered 98% of its crude steel production.
To meet growing customer demand for transparency, Ternium has developed eight Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for different product families produced in Mexico. These documents provide detailed information on each product’s environmental performance, including carbon footprint and other key indicators. All EPDs are available on Ternium’s website.

PROTECTION OF LOCAL SPECIES |  |  | Ternium is collaborating with the University of Rio de Janeiro and the Boto Cinza Institute in a marine biodiversity research focused on the study of the grey dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), a key player in Brazil’s ecosystem.

Biodiversity endeavors
Ternium takes proactive steps to preserve local biodiversity before developing new facilities. Within the Pesquería Industrial Center, the company created an ecological reserve of over 80 hectares to protect the site’s biodiversity and integrate nature with industrial activity. In Brazil, the company has a broad strategy to protect the fauna and flora of Sepetiba Bay, including 160 hectares (395 acres) of mangroves.
Every new project is assessed considering the impacts on biodiversity. For example, following the announcement of its new steelmaking facility in Pesquería, Mexico, Ternium launched a Wildlife Rescue Program aimed at protecting local flora and fauna prior to construction. As a result, over 16,800 plants—including species such as Colima, Cenizo and Gavia—were successfully preserved. Additionally, 50 animals, including reptiles and small mammals, were rescued and relocated,
reflecting the company’s strong commitment to biodiversity conservation.
Another example is the work carried out during the construction of the wind farm in Argentina. Ternium conducted a baseline analysis of the flying fauna species that could be affected, with a focus on documenting globally threatened species according to the criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The development of the Flying Fauna Baseline is part of the BACI analysis (Before-After-Control-Impact), as recommended by the 2019 Good Practices Guide for Wind Development in Argentina. Based on this, we will continue seasonal monitoring of birds and bats. We also completed environmental characterization maps, including topography, hydrogeology, vegetation, and the definition of landscape units.
The company carries out extensive fieldwork to identify ecological connectivity areas. These efforts include continuous environmental monitoring, wildlife rescue

| On February 16, 2024, Ternium México signed a collaboration agreement with the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) to restore 233 hectares (576 acres) of forest land within the university’s “Bosque Escuela” (Forest School), which was severely impacted by a wildfire on April 28, 2021. This initiative aims to recover the ecosystem services of the affected area and promote long-term environmental resilience. The restoration plan includes a series of coordinated actions such as installing a 13,000-meter perimeter fence, rehabilitating 8,000 meters of access roads, building around 700 check dams, and creating 32,000 square meters of firebreaks. Additionally, the project involves constructing over 29,000 meters of soil retention works using vegetation, trenches, or rock structures, and reforesting 230 hectares with over 69,000 native seedlings (equivalent to 300 plants per hectare). |  | To support this reforestation effort, a forest nursery will be rehabilitated to ensure annual seedling production. The project also includes a structured maintenance and ecological monitoring program. By the end of 2024, 35% of the restoration work had been completed, with full implementation expected by 2025. Ongoing quarterly maintenance of the planted areas will be continued thereafter. |

programs, and the installation of wildlife crossings—such as gates for reptiles, amphibians and small mammals—to maintain habitat connectivity.
In 2024, Ternium conducted a biodiversity assessment using the IBAT platform, focusing on the geographic locations of its mining, steelmaking and hot rolling operations. The analysis covered a 50-kilometer radius around each site and considered three key aspects: Protected Areas, Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and Threatened Species listed by the IUCN Red List. These findings will help Ternium further focus and adapt its conservation efforts in areas of greater ecological significance.
Protecting the grey dolphin and marine biodiversity
in Brazil
Ternium is actively participating in a marine biodiversity research project in collaboration with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Boto Cinza Institute. The study focuses on the grey dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), a key species in the local ecosystem. The first phase of the project, completed in 2022, explored the species’ chemical and population ecology. It also generated important data on whale habitats, which helped authorities redefine navigation routes to reduce the risk of collisions with vessels.

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 51

The second phase, launched in 2025, aims to deepen scientific knowledge of dolphins and whales in Sepetiba and Ilha Grande Bays, through research on ecology, health and conservation, as well as educational outreach. This includes analyzing the presence of compounds such as pharmaceuticals and UV filters in marine mammals, studying viral agents to better understand potential public health risks, and promoting marine conservation in nearby communities through school-based awareness programs, with the grey dolphin as a flagship species.
Reforestation and biodiversity conservation in mining operations (Mexico)
Ternium’s mining units, Las Encinas and Peña Colorada, continued strengthening their environmental efforts in 2024 through large-scale reforestation and biodiversity protection programs. At Las Encinas, over 19,800 trees were planted in new areas, complemented by more than 78,000 trees for enrichment and replanting purposes, covering 19.4 new hectares and maintaining more than 310 hectares (765 acres) previously reforested. The on-site nursery produced over 92,000 trees, with a production capacity of 200,000, and included 35 native species. Fire prevention and control efforts included the creation of 26,940 meters of firebreaks, covering nearly 116,000 square meters, and the containment of three wildfires in coordination with Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR). Wildlife conservation was also a key focus, with 125 animals from 37 different species rescued and relocated to safer habitats.
At Peña Colorada, reforestation efforts reached the milestone of 160,000 plants, 13 of which belong to species classified under protection by the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 regulation. In wildfire prevention, 78.5 kilometers of firebreaks were established, and 16 wildfires were successfully controlled in partnership with CONAFOR’s firefighting brigades. Conservation funding included support annual feeding of local wildlife and a utility vehicle to strengthen field operations at UMA Palapo. Additionally, Peña Colorada invested in the rehabilitation of an educational corridor at the local Tortugario, promoting awareness about the ecological importance of marine turtles.

RISKS
Due to the nature of its steelmaking and mining operations, Ternium operates within a framework of increasingly comprehensive local, regional and national environmental regulations. Compliance with these standards requires the timely renewal of permits, as well as the continuous adaptation of processes and procedures. While the company consistently works to meet these requirements, there may be occasions when additional regulatory oversight or administrative processes demand further attention and resources.

52. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

Ternium also faces environmental risks related to fluctuating natural conditions, such as water availability. Some of Ternium Mexico’s facilities are located in water-stressed regions, which could lead to operational challenges or increased water costs, particularly in the context of severe droughts. For instance, following the 2022 drought in the Monterrey area, Mexico’s national water authority suspended new freshwater concessions, a measure that remains in effect. While these actions have not significantly impacted operations to date, ongoing regulatory developments and national efforts to improve water sustainability—
such as proposed legislative reforms and the review of existing water concessions—may pose future challenges for industrial water use in the country.
Ternium continues to invest in environmental initiatives and management systems aimed at minimizing impacts and ensuring regulatory compliance. However, the risk of incidents, litigation or regulatory actions that could lead to reputational damage, production interruptions, or financial liabilities remains. For more information related to environmental risks, please refer to Ternium’s latest 20-F filing.

SAFETY AS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN
Ternium has devoted significant efforts to create a culture under the idea of “Safety First.” This involves promoting an environment where safety is ingrained in every aspect of operations, from top-level management to hourly employees. By prioritizing safety and making it a core value, we believe we are not only protecting our workforce but also enhancing productivity, morale and overall business performance. Ultimately, a strong safety culture fosters trust, collaboration and a shared commitment to preventing accidents and injuries.
GOVERNANCE
Safety is embedded at every level of the corporate structure. The Board of Directors receives quarterly reports on recent incidents and updates on the Safety Strategy, presented alongside the company’s financial results.
At the management level, Ternium has a Chief Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Officer responsible for overseeing these matters and defining the company’s overall corporate health and safety strategy. Local EHS teams, together with the hygiene and medical

| OUR STRUCTURE HEALTH AND SAFETY GOVERNANCE |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

departments, support these efforts. Safety incidents are reviewed monthly at both the local and corporate levels. Ultimately, the primary responsibility for ensuring occupational safety within each facility lies with the local managers of each production unit.
Ternium’s Occupational Health and Safety Policy serves as the main framework for protecting the well-being of employees, customers, contractors and suppliers across its operations. Rooted in key principles such as injury prevention, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement, the policy emphasizes the shared responsibility of all stakeholders in fostering a safe and healthy work environment. The policy is available online on Ternium’s website and at the end of this chapter.
Safety is a shared responsibility across the organization. In line with this vision—and to recognize the daily commitment and efforts of all personnel—safety will be formally incorporated as a mandatory component of the performance evaluation process, starting with the July 2024 to June 2025 cycle.
To ensure consistency in how safety is evaluated, a guideline was issued outlining expectations structured around three key areas: (1) reducing risk in critical activities, (2) implementing preventive actions with a focus on quality over quantity and (3) monitoring reactive indicators from relevant events to assess whether preventive efforts are effectively targeted. The evaluation criteria are specifically designed to foster a proactive approach centered on prevention and risk mitigation, rather than a reactive response to incidents.
STRATEGY
Health and safety have long been a focal point of Ternium’s sustainability agenda, continuously evolving and undergoing reviews to incorporate industry’s best practices and insights gained from experience.
The key components of this strategy include:
< Unified safety management system
< Process safety management
< Accident investigation and risk management
< Definition of safety plans across locations
< Proactive and preventive activities

“Safety is a daily responsibility. We constantly work to align our operations with this value, ensuring that no matter how complex the task is, we always apply a safety-first approach.”

< Occupational health initiatives.
Recently, the company has redirected its efforts to identify and address the root causes of major injuries and high-severity events, shifting away from a previous focus on traditional targets such as the Injury Frequency Rate (IFR) and the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR).
Unified safety management system
Ternium relies on an integrated Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management system in place throughout our industrial operations to ensure the consistent application of policies, methodologies and processes. Periodic audits of processes are conducted to identify new opportunities for enhancing the safety management system and ensuring compliance with local

60. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

regulations. 100% of employees and contractors are covered by the company’s safety management system.
The company’s OH&S management system is certified under the ISO 45001 standard. In December 2024, 89% of employees and contractors were working in ISO 45001 certified facilities, including both upstream and downstream operations.
Process safety management
Process safety is paramount in the steel industry, as it serves to avert major accidents and safeguard the well-
being of employees, the environment and company assets. Our focus on process safety management revolves around identifying, understanding and mitigating risks associated with operations, aiming to minimize incidents such as fires, explosions, exposure to hazardous chemicals and structural collapse.
The process safety management model, referred to as PSM, adheres to global best practices and is structured around three core pillars: technology, facilities and people. Our ultimate objective is to achieve operational excellence through stringent operational discipline and continuous process enhancement.

| SIASSO MOBILE ENHANCING SAFETY MANAGEMENT AT TERNIUM |  |  |  |
| As part of its simplification strategy, Ternium launched SIASSO Mobile, a digital tool that modernizes safety management by allowing employees to monitor and manage safety processes anytime, anywhere. This mobile application enhances flexibility and speed in risk assessments, with real-time alerts and data enabling proactive responses.

In addition, Ternium added an EHS menu to its internal chatbot “Ternium Responde” |  | (available in all locations except the U.S.), offering features such as Simplified Event Reporting, Positive Approach Registration and Coverage, Safe Behavior Observation, Communication Routine and Task Rejection. |

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 61

The company consistently implements preventive measures and adds to its procedures recommendations from its risk insurers. Looking ahead, we are implementing a five-year strategic plan integrating objectives from the health and safety team with those of the maintenance departments. This plan encompasses projects such as implementing standardized protection barriers across our facilities in all regions. Moreover, we have refined our risk analysis procedures by integrating the Bow Tie methodology and enhancing tools for investigating process safety-related incidents.
In case of an emergency, the company has a corporate procedure for a quick response. The Crisis Management Procedure aims to provide comprehensive guidance for developing, implementing and maintaining effective crisis management strategies to minimize the negative effects and expedite the return to normal business operations. The procedure outlines types of crises, escalation criteria, and the roles and responsibilities of key personnel in managing and responding to crises effectively. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, compliance with regulatory requirements, and clear and transparent communications to safeguard personnel, assets and the company’s reputation. It also defines the establishment of a Crisis Committee responsible for monitoring and coordinating crisis response efforts.
Accident investigation and risk management
Ternium’s management follows specific protocols when an accident or incident occurs at the company’s workplace, regardless of the severity of the damage or injuries caused by such an event. Data collection and fact analysis are conducted by multidisciplinary teams, with the participation of the director responsible for the involved area. Management uses all available resources that could contribute to the understanding of the event, including the Causal Factor Tree Analysis methodology.
Once the causes have been fully identified and understood, the company implements an action plan structured around a hierarchy of controls. The action plan is presented to the Environmental and Safety Committee and, three months later, a revision is conducted to determine the effectiveness of the proposed action plan in eliminating the cause of the situation or event that compromised safety.
This process is conducted within the SIASSO system, an internally developed OH&S platform, which incorporates a tool that assesses the robustness of the analysis and action plan. The tool prevents the process from concluding if specific parameters relevant to the type of event are not met. In other words, the severity of the event determines the level of analysis rigor required by the tool.

The twelve plans cover key areas such as Safe Cranes; Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Safety; Piping and Structures; Hot Metal Handling; Electrical Risk and Lightning Protection; Annealing; Pickling and Acid Regeneration Plants; Furnace Safety; Emergency Response Planning; Gases, Asphyxiation, and Explosion Prevention; and Fire Prevention.
In addition, the company continues to monitor progress and ensure compliance in other ongoing areas, including the standardization of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Radiological Safety and Safe Warehouse Operations.
Preventive activities
Ternium designs preventive activities to identify and mitigate potential hazards before they escalate into incidents or accidents. After reviewing the preventive processes, the company is focusing more on the quality of the tools rather than the quantity of activities and reports. Among Ternium’s preventive measures are the following:
< Safety and environment hour initiative: Managers conduct
tours through operational areas across the production
facilities. This initiative serves multiple purposes,
including identifying safe behaviors that can be
replicated across different facilities and addressing
unsafe acts or situations through open dialogue with
employees. The agenda of the visit is previously
defined and may include observing and evaluating
factors such as people’s behavior, safety conditions,
presence of accident precursors in the area,
operational discipline, and critical activities. Each
leader is required to complete a set number of visits
per month.
< On-site revisions: Tailored to the specific needs of each
area to ensure compliance with relevant OH&S policies, procedures, and practices. Last year, over 85,200 health and safety revisions were conducted outside the formal Safety and Environment Hour initiative.

< Identifying precursors of serious injuries and fatal accidents:
The company has increased its efforts to identify signals of potential severe injuries or fatalities and has already registered several non-controlled repeating precursors. Some of them are protections and barriers, equipment lockouts and mobile equipment conditions.
< Task Rejection Tool: This tool strengthens people’s
determination not to start or, if started, to suspend a task when they consider that an uncontrolled risk is present. Task Rejection helps prevent injuries resulting from a lack of effective control of previously identified safety risks. The company encourages the use of this tool and has started recognizing workers when their personal analysis of Occupational Health and Safety conditions prevents the occurrence of a high-risk event. In 2024, we recorded approximately 17,500 reports, 27% of which involved potential high risks.

TECHNOLOGY TO MINIMIZE RISKS |  |  | Drones are used for inspections and to reach areas of the plants that are difficult to access, preventing accidents and prioritizing safety.

< Pre-shift Assessments: The company has identified
behavioral factors, such as distraction, which contribute to certain accidents. This tool consists of assessing the condition of workers before their shifts. Initially, the focus is on workers who perform high-risk activities. The chosen approach is a Readiness Test conducted daily to hourly employees, utilizing normalized responses and artificial intelligence to assess employees’ general state. It measures parameters like impulse control, reaction time, attention and concentration over time. Its purpose is to ensure that workers are mentally prepared and focused, effectively preventing potential incidents. This tool is currently operative in Brazil, in the United States and in several facilities in Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico.
Implementation of technology to mitigate risks and facilitate learning
We have implemented advanced technologies to enhance operational performance and minimize human risk exposure, following the principle of “no people on the floor.” For example, at the slabs yard in the new hot rolling mill in Pesquería, Mexico, we control all access points to prevent unauthorized entry and coordinate the movement of cranes and transport carts using a warehouse management system, making them autonomous.
Furthermore, we have embraced cutting-edge technologies to improve risk assessment, incident analysis and staff education in Occupational Health

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 65

and Safety. We have integrated advanced tools like Video Analytics, drones for inspections, remote assistance from the maintenance department, simulations of high-risk scenarios, and virtual reality into our operations.
Automated video analytics continuously monitor our operations, comparing real-time activities against established safety standards. When deviations are detected, alerts are immediately triggered, and the information is uploaded to the SIASSO platform. Starting in December 2024, the company also began using cameras and drones to conduct audits. These tools are especially useful for accessing more locations, covering different shifts, and observing complex tasks—even those where the presence of an auditor could introduce additional risk. The purpose of camera-based audits is not to replace in-person inspections, but to broaden our understanding of how work is performed beyond what is typically seen during routine site visits. In February 2025, an official module was introduced in the SIASSO platform to record the outcomes of these video-based inspections.
Moreover, technology helps us learn from past incidents. Using 3D technology, we simulate and analyze high-risk events to understand their causes and implement preventive measures. We also use virtual reality for training in hazardous tasks and maintenance activities, such as operating mobile equipment like forklifts, locomotives and cranes.
Education and training initiatives
The company is committed to training its employees, customers and suppliers on the appropriate use of the company’s OH&S management systems, as well as raising awareness of the risks involved in task execution.
Ternium University offers a diverse range of training courses on OH&S. In 2024, over 19,100 employees and contractors received an average of 16 hours of training on safety-related issues focused on Ternium’s OH&S programs and preventive measures.
Furthermore, teams from EHS and Ternium University have developed a certification program focused on activities that entail high risks, with the aim of ensuring that only specifically trained personnel perform the required tasks.

| WORLDSTEEL RECOGNITION SAFETY INNOVATION THROUGH ROBOTICS IN BRAZIL |
| In 2024, Ternium received the Safety and Health Excellence Recognition from worldsteel for its robotic automation initiative in Brazil. Since 2018, Ternium Brazil has leveraged robotic technology in its continuous casting process to eliminate human exposure to high-risk tasks. Robots now perform critical operations such as ladle shroud manipulation, tundish insulation powder application, shroud showering, temperature and hydrogen probing, sampling, and ladle opening via oxygen lancing. Traditionally, each casting machine required two ladle operators, one technician and one coordinator. With automation, the workforce has been reduced by one operator per machine—significantly improving safety and reducing exposure to hazards like burns, explosions, extreme heat and moving parts. This innovation not only enhances safety but also improves operational efficiency. Ternium continues to invest in robotics and risk prevention as part of its commitment to sustainable, safe steel production. |

66. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

The program includes medical checkups, specific courses, on-the-job training, and a final evaluation authorizing employees to perform the tasks. Currently, the certification is mandatory for locomotive, forklift, and crane operators, as well as for maintenance tasks, work-at-heights or confined spaces, electrical risks and logout/tagout procedures. The certification process requires periodic re-certification every 1 to 3 years, depending on the nature of the activity and local regulations.
Additionally, the company has developed documents that define best safety practices for different groups, such as the guidebook for managers. This manual serves as a valuable resource, outlining expected behaviors and effective decision-making processes under various scenarios.
It was created based on insights and experiences shared by a diverse group of over 300 directors and managers from across the organization through virtual and in-person sessions. During these gatherings, participants discussed various topics relevant to leadership, including the 7 best practices, common mental pitfalls, the Bradley curve, along with other developments in the safety field. These best practices have also been extended to supervisors, hourly employees and contractors.
Engagement of top management and effective
communication
Over the years, Ternium has enhanced the visibility of safety issues through its communication platforms.

The company has also introduced Safety Talks, an open-dialogue instance for plant supervisors and their teams to analyze selected OH&S issues each week as determined by senior management. Under this program, in 2024 the company delivered infographics via email to over 3,500 employees, and leaders and EHS teams conducted more than 28,200 short interactive sessions at the beginning of each shift to emphasize workplace health and safety issues globally, locally, or by theme, reaching over 22,500 employees.
Integration of contractors into safety initiatives
Ternium actively promotes the adoption of its Safety Vision and goals among all contractors’ employees. To achieve this, the company has initiated several programs, including meetings with top managers of Ternium contractors and the involvement of their employees in Ternium’s OH&S workshops. Additionally, Ternium has implemented an OH&S improvement plan specifically tailored for contractors. This plan draws on the best practices of contractors, identified through benchmarking their operations at various locations within the company’s facilities.
From July 2023 to June 2024, Ternium conducted audits of the OH&S programs of 195 contractor companies across four countries, 28 of which were commended for the improvements made during the year.
Occupational Health Initiatives
Ternium demonstrates its commitment to providing a healthy workplace through the implementation of a comprehensive occupational health program. We regularly conduct monitoring activities and risk analysis within our health management system to assess and manage the various factors that may impact employees’ health. These factors include chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic and psychological conditions associated with work activities.
Ternium has a Health Surveillance and Medical Control program regarding occupational health exams
and medical studies for Ternium’s employees. The objective is to comply with the required occupational

68. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

medical exams according to applicable legislation, monitor the health of employees exposed to specific health risks, ensure employees are fit for their assigned tasks, provide voluntary access to medical exams, and implement preventive campaigns based on statistical data. The company conducts mandatory medical check-ups based on local law requirements and offers annual voluntary medical check-ups aiming to improve employees’ health and identify common diseases and health conditions for statistical analysis.
On a more specific basis, the company has in place an Alcohol and Drugs Program with the aim of maintaining a safe and drug-free workplace environment to ensure optimal safety and well-being levels across its facilities
and operations. The company prohibits activities such as possessing, producing, selling, distributing, or consuming alcohol and drugs within Ternium’s premises or during work-related activities. It also mandates that employees refrain from consuming drugs, whether prescribed or not, that could impair their performance, without prior notification to their immediate superior.
To enforce compliance, the company establishes prevention procedures and conducts objective tests to detect the presence of prohibited substances. This obligation extends to suppliers, contractors, subcontractors and visitors, who are expected to adhere to these regulations as per the applicable legal framework. Through these measures, Ternium seeks to

RISKS
According to worldsteel’s “Safety and health in
the steel industry - Data report 2025”, the top five causes of fatalities over the period 2020-2024 were fall from height, moving machinery, gassing and asphyxiation, on site road vehicle and falling objects. This seems to be consistent over time. In terms of causes of lost time injuries in the last 5 years (2020-2024),
they mention slip, trip and fall, manual tasks tools, moving machinery, fall from height and falling object as the main ones.
In the case of Ternium, the fatalities recorded in the period 2020-2024 were related to explosions, electrical hazards, rail-related incidents (trains and wagons), vehicle and internal traffic collisions within the facilities, and falling objects. The top causes of lost-time injuries during the same period were manual tasks and hand tools, moving machinery, falls from height, same-level falls, and incidents involving cranes and lifting devices.

COMMUNICATION ROUTINES |  |  | Ternium’s managers are involved personally in talks, training activities, workshops and face-to-face meetings on safety, environment, quality and industrial performance topics.

70. TERNIUM | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 | OVERVIEW

Risk analysis
Risks are assessed considering the severity of injuries, probability of occurrence and frequency of exposure. For unacceptable risks, the activity is halted until additional measures are implemented to reduce the risk to acceptable levels.
The company has set out a framework for hazard identification, risk assessment, and control using the IPER (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) Matrix. The process is based on hazard identification using a specific list, considering factors such as work organization, routine and non-routine activities, past and potential incidents, and human and environmental conditions. Once hazards are identified, existing control measures are documented and additional actions are planned according to a hierarchy that includes elimination, substitution, engineering controls, signage/administrative controls and personal protective elements.
Risk is assessed considering the severity of injuries, probability of occurrence and frequency of exposure, and is determined to be acceptable or unacceptable. For unacceptable risks, the activity is halted until additional measures are implemented to reduce the risk to acceptable levels.
Hazard and risk matrices are periodically reviewed under circumstances such as changes in processes, work methods, acquisition of new equipment, projects, audit results, real emergencies, legislative changes, and
modifications in the organization’s occupational health and safety management system, among others. To ensure that employees have access to the results of their risk analyses and to promote the use of this information through various tools, the IPER matrices are being digitalized within the SIASSO platform. This has made it easier to audit critical activities—those considered high-risk based on severity and likelihood of occurrence—as well as to implement improvement actions and review related documentation.
SAFETY PERFORMANCE: ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS
In 2024, Ternium recorded an Injury Frequency Rate (IFR) of 2.70 injuries per million hours worked and a Lost Time Injuries Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0.69 lost time injuries per million hours worked. The injury frequency rate was a setback from the performance of the previous year, but still below worldsteel averages of 3.54 IFR and 0.70 LTIFR for the year 2024.

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 71

The year 2024 was marked by two fatal accidents involving a contractor and a direct employee in Argentina. The first accident occurred in the Blast Furnace area during maintenance work, while the second took place in the rail yard as a result of interaction with a moving train.
As a result of the first accident, the company reviewed the Global Risk Consultants (GRC) recommendations and prioritized them based on their potential impact on people. Personal protective equipment was standardized, and the response strategy of medical teams in the presence of flammable substances was reinforced.
Following the second accident, we decided to incorporate new mechanisms to detect risks in areas where human inspections were more limited and extended the use of cameras. Additionally, we conducted a review with Ternium University to identify ways to enhance employee awareness of the hazards present in their daily tasks.
While the steel industry inherently involves various safety risks due to the nature of the activity, we remain committed to enhancing safety and accident prevention, and we will continue implementing actions to ensure a safe working environment for everyone involved in our operations.
USIMINAS’ COMMITMENT TO WORKPLACE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING
At Usiminas, the goal is Zero Accidents, a commitment pursued through initiatives that engage all hierarchical levels and encompass both direct employees and contractors. The company is dedicated to promoting workplace safety and employee health by implementing tools that foster a strong safety culture. This is an ongoing objective with no fixed deadline, ensuring continuous improvement in safety standards.
The Usiminas Health and Safety Policy acknowledges life and well-being as universal rights. Prioritizing these values, the company has implemented a comprehensive

TO ADDRESS TOPICS RELATED TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN A SAFE AND OPEN SPACE
1,000
PEOPLE HAVE PARTICIPATED
IN THE PROGRAM SINCE ITS BEGINNING,
INCLUDING 55 DIRECTORS
Equal treatment in a diverse and inclusive environment
Over time, Ternium’s workforce has become increasingly diverse. Our employees represent 28 different nationalities, with Mexican, Argentine, Brazilian and Colombian citizens constituting the largest portion of the company’s team.
Ternium is dedicated to being an equal opportunity employer, striving to create a working environment that recognizes and nurtures talent from diverse backgrounds, encompassing different genders, nationalities, generations, cultures, religions and experiences.
Among the actions implemented to ensure equal treatment and foster inclusion and diversity, there are:
< Bias-free selection: Ternium aims at creating a
transparent and merit-based system that allows all employees to have equal access to career advancement opportunities within the organization. During the recruitment process we use specialized software to ensure a fair assessment of candidates based solely on their cognitive and technical knowledge. Furthermore, for internal vacancies, we have an Opportunities Committee system. The vacancies are promoted through e-mail and people are given a timeframe to apply. After gathering information and conducting a process of interviews, a committee of members from various departments, supported by the HR Talent sector, convenes to make a final decision.
< Equal treatment conditions: The company has adapted its
policies and procedures to ensure equal treatment. As an example, the company grants extended maternity and paternity leave in countries where maternity leave is less than 120 days and paternity leave is less than 30 days. Additionally, we have a flexibility program where 3 days are worked from home and 2 days in the office from the return of the mother or primary caregiver until the child is one year old. These benefits apply to all, regardless of sexual orientation.
Specific training activities: Ternium developed the Lean
In Together initiative. This project aims to raise awareness and foster discussions about important topics related to inclusion and diversity, including unconscious biases, sexual diversity, gender identity, and the

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 85

relevance of intercultural and inclusive leadership. The Lean In Together circles provide a safe and open space for participants from diverse regions, genders, professional backgrounds and expertise to freely express themselves and engage in thoughtful dialogues on these matters. In 2024, the seventh generation of Lean In circles was launched, with 290 participants that completed the program, including 10 company directors and expanding to all Ternium locations. Additionally, specific discussions on gender equality and generational interaction were reinforced, involving participants from previous stages of the program. Since the beginning of the program, 1,000 employees have completed it, including 55 directors (1,490 participated in at least one event).
< New ways to include people with special abilities:
Ternium’s Labor Integration Program in Argentina began in 1997 with the employment of a group of graduates from Vocational Training Centers in nearby communities, and it continues to this day. In Brazil, the company also operates a labor inclusion program for people with disabilities and organizes annual events and communications to search for candidates interested in working for the company. In 2024, there were 10 people with special needs from Argentina and 135 from Brazil in positions such as administrative staff, internal communications analysts and gardeners. These employees have different types of disabilities, such as motor disabilities, hearing impairments, visual impairments, intellectual disabilities and mixed disabilities.

BEST PLACES TO WORK FOR LGBTQ+ |  |  | Ternium was named one of the best places to work for the LGBTQ+ community in Mexico by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for the fifth time. In 2024, the company achieved triple certification: in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

< | In 2021, Ternium embraced the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), reinforcing its commitment to gender equality. Since then, the company has been actively working to increase female participation in leadership roles and in the industry overall. To achieve this, Ternium focuses on: recruiting more young female professionals, supporting women during maternity to help them balance personal and professional goals, and boosting female representation at the board level. As a result, the company has seen a 42% increase in the number of women in managerial positions since 2021. Key initiatives to support women throughout their careers include: Continued employment after maternity: The Maternity Mentoring Program helps reduce turnover among female employees after maternity leave by providing guidance and support during the transition. This program is currently available in Mexico, | < < < | Argentina, Brazil and Guatemala. Creating a motherhood-friendly workplace: Ternium has installed lactation rooms at its main facilities and is working on making its facilities more inclusive. Financial support: The company offers a daycare assistance benefit, which is currently available in Argentina and Mexico. Board representation: Women now make up 38% of Ternium’s Board of Directors, reflecting the company’s commitment to increasing female representation and showcasing leadership at the highest level. Ternium’s efforts to recruit and retain more women in engineering are also reflected in the growing number of women working in operations. The number of female operators has increased by 45% from 2023. Aligned with the WEPs, Ternium is also committed to advancing women’s empowerment across the steel industry value chain and in the communities around its operations. |

< Regional programs: In Brazil, Ternium has implemented a
mentorship program for university students, with a focus on promoting equitable access to the job market. This edition prioritized support for Afro-descendant students—particularly those pursuing engineering degrees—through mentorship provided by Ternium professionals. This initiative complements other mentorship programs we offer to students from diverse backgrounds. Of the 20 participants across the program’s two editions, 18 went on to join Ternium or other companies as trainees. Additionally, the program achieved 50% female participation, helping to boost representation in a sector where women have been historically underrepresented.
Ternium’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC), which named Ternium as one of the best places to work for the LGBTQ+ community in Mexico for the fifth time in 2024. This certification evaluates the company’s commitment to equality, taking into account its actions, policies and procedures concerning equity, gender identity, sexual orientation and inclusion. In 2024, the company also received the recognition of HRC Argentina and HRC Brazil.
Positive work environments
At Ternium, fostering positive work environments is a strategic priority and a key part of our commitment to inclusion, equity and respect across all countries and organizational levels. We believe that a healthy workplace is built on recognizing and valuing differences, as well as actively preventing harassment and discrimination.
To support this, we promote initiatives that provide tools to identify inappropriate behavior, properly assess each situation, and respond responsibly. In addition, we have established clear and confidential channels for reporting any incidents that compromise integrity and respect in the workplace.
This approach strengthens our organizational culture, aligning with the values that guide our management practices and labor relations.

Performance management
Every year, Ternium employees must establish a work plan in collaboration with their leaders and respective departments. These objectives are divided into two types: area objectives, which involve specific contributions, and personal objectives, focused on improving individual development and leadership or technical skills.
Starting in July 2024, two additional types of objectives were introduced: mandatory EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) objectives, and optional but recommended diversity and inclusion objectives. The application of EHS objectives applies to all employees and managers in industrial areas and roles related to the plant floor, accounting for 30% of the overall evaluation. Diversity objectives have a broader scope, being recommended for all employees, regardless of their activity.

CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION |  |  | In 2024, Ternium’s CEO hosted four Live Talks with Q&A sessions, engaging an average of over 3,400 employees each time.

Once the year concludes, Ternium conducts a formal assessment to evaluate the performance of salaried employees and managers. The results of this assessment impact several areas, including career development, compensation, identification of training needs, and the setting of measurable objectives for the next period.
The performance assessment process includes a self-evaluation and an evaluation by the employee’s leader. It is integrated into the company’s HR IT system to track progress over time and follows a comprehensive 360-degree approach, incorporating client feedback. This structure ensures transparency and fairness in the evaluation process throughout the year.
The evaluation is reviewed by various committees up to the corporate level, and the results are shared in
dedicated feedback meetings to communicate outcomes and identify areas for improvement.
Continuous communication
Ternium regularly organizes interactive engagement events to outline its strategy and gather employee feedback. CEO live talks, online town hall meetings, and Safe Hour meetings at the company’s facilities are some mechanisms used to connect with employees.
Moreover, Ternium conducts confidential surveys to gather feedback on the working experience and perception of the company’s management, leadership and culture. These surveys monitor employee satisfaction and provide insights for continuous improvement. The latest survey was conducted

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 89

in February 2024, with results and follow-up action plans expected to be developed throughout the year.
RISKS
Some of the risks associated with human resources management, as well as Ternium’s approach to each topic, are detailed below:
< Talent attraction, retention and engagement: It is key to
build a robust talent pipeline, an appealing employment proposition and develop growth opportunities to sustain and inspire our workforce. To tackle this challenge, Ternium implements comprehensive talent attraction strategies, including university outreach and assessments nationwide (in Argentina), participation in job fairs and public events (in Mexico) and engagement with universities across the countries where it has operations. Furthermore, in terms of retention, the company strives to provide competitive economic conditions, foster work-life balance and encourage continuous employee development to ensure adequate retention levels.
< Conduct and culture: A hostile work environment
characterized by bullying, harassment, unsafe practices, or fraudulent behavior, all of which are incongruent with our corporate values, can severely tarnish the company’s reputation and lead to costly legal consequences. Ternium addresses such issues by implementing specific procedures to detect, investigate and appropriately sanction behaviors that violate the company’s Code of Conduct.
< Succession and key personnel risk: Inadequate succession
planning and the risk of key talent loss can leave the company overly reliant on specific individuals, potentially resulting in significant disruptions if these individuals are unable to fulfill their roles. As part of its performance management process and annual evaluations, Ternium conducts a thorough analysis of succession plans.
< Obsolete skills: Discrepancies in workforce skill sets,
arising from rapid digitization and automation, may hinder the achievement of business objectives. To remain at the forefront, Ternium offers numerous
training programs, both internally and externally, overseen by Ternium University and the Talent Management team.
USIMINAS’S PEOPLE MANAGEMENT
Through its Integrated Management Policy, Usiminas promotes both personal and professional development, prioritizes employee well-being, and supports the social and environmental progress of the communities where it operates.

consulted and, if any red flags are identified, a deeper analysis is carried out in collaboration with the Business Conduct Compliance team. Specific procedures are also in place when contracting third parties who act on Ternium’s behalf.
Regarding safety, Exiros performs safety audits for service providers based on the risk level of the tasks to be performed. These audits are a prerequisite for awarding or renewing service contracts and play a key role in long-term risk management. As of April 2025, Exiros had successfully audited and certified 99% of its active service providers, assessed under stringent health, safety and environmental criteria. In 2024 alone, 520 new audits were conducted.
To further strengthen supply chain risk assessment in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters, Ternium has engaged with the Open-Es platform. This tool provides ESG scores based on specialized questionnaires, public data and expert analysis. As part of the initial implementation, we have invited 35 suppliers to complete their assessment on the Open-es platform or to provide a similar ESG assessment. With this initiative, we aim to reinforce our supplier evaluation system in alignment with Ternium’s values, identify improvement opportunities in ESG practices, and develop corrective action plans with our suppliers when needed.

Conflict minerals reporting requirements
Ternium has implemented a Procedure for Compliance with Conflict Minerals (sourced from regions characterized by armed conflict and human rights abuses), which includes an annual request to suppliers in the form of the “RCOI Form.” This form aims at determining whether any conflict minerals necessary for the functionality or production of Ternium’s products, whether manufactured by Ternium or by third-parties contracted by Ternium, may have originated in a Covered Country. All responses to the RCOI Form are thoroughly reviewed by Ternium. If necessary, potential conflict minerals suppliers are asked to provide additional information or clarifications.
Only a negligible portion of Ternium’s products (representing less than 1% of the company’s sales) could theoretically contain conflict minerals. In 2024, Ternium identified and surveyed 41 potential conflict minerals suppliers. As of the present date, 100% of the surveyed potential conflict minerals suppliers have confirmed that none of their products, including raw materials, contain conflict minerals originating from a Covered Country.
In addition to the RCOI Form, the Policy incorporates conflict-minerals-free-sourcing clauses, which have been included in Ternium’s General Terms and Conditions for the Purchase of Goods and Services.
Based on the information obtained through the aforementioned procedures as of the present date, Ternium has no reason to believe that any products manufactured by Ternium or contracted by Ternium to be manufactured by third-parties contain conflict minerals, necessary for the functionality or production of such products, which have originated from a Covered Country.
For more detailed information, please refer to Ternium’s SD Form submitted to the SEC.
INTEGRATED VALUE CHAIN
Through the ProPymes program in Argentina and Mexico, Ternium supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are part of its value chain. The goal is to strengthen the competitiveness of customers and suppliers focusing on enhancing productivity,
modernizing industrial facilities and exploring new markets for SMEs’ products.
ProPymes fosters industrial knowledge-sharing and management skills, with a strong focus on business growth, export development, and improved competitiveness. The program began in Argentina in 2002 in response to a significant economic and institutional crisis in the country, and has since expanded to Mexico. Over the years, it has built a large collaborative network of SMEs—currently involving over 2,200 companies in Argentina and Mexico, including those in the supply chains of Tenaris, Tecpetrol, and Techint Engineering, Ternium’s affiliates.
Areas of support
ProPymes offers tailored assistance in various areas:

It also supports suppliers in the development and certification of new products for Ternium, its related companies, and other industrial sectors.
< Financial support: Offers direct financing for
productivity and capacity-building investments, as well as support for steel purchases related to export production. The program also collaborates with banks and other financial institutions to provide
tailored financial solutions for SMEs, facilitating their access to funding.
< Sustainability agenda: Promotes the adoption of
environmental best practices, carbon reduction targets, circular economy initiatives and renewable energy sources.
< IT systems: Supports the selection and implementation of business systems and digital transformation.

RISKS
As part of its risk management practice, the company analyzes the impact of the supply chain on various business variables. These include the following:
< Intense competition could cause Ternium to lose its market
share and adversely affect its revenues. Ternium operates
in a highly competitive market, where price, quality and service are key factors. The company faces competition

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 123

from global and local steel producers, some with greater resources or government support. This can lead to
lower margins and reduced sales. Industry consolidation may also strengthen competitors. Additionally, steel competes with alternative materials like aluminum, plastics and composites—especially in sectors such
as automotive, where lighter materials are increasingly used due to regulatory and sustainability pressures. These trends could negatively affect demand for certain steel products and impact Ternium’s revenues.
< Price fluctuations, shortages or disruptions in the supply of raw materials, slabs, energy and other inputs could adversely affect Ternium’s profitability. Disruptions in supply or
price volatility can arise from market dynamics, supplier decisions, government interventions, trade sanctions, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters and other unforeseen events. The growing scarcity of slabs—exacerbated by industry consolidation and the integration of slab-making into finished steel production—adds further pressure, as seen with recent changes involving key suppliers and the impact of sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While Ternium has historically managed to secure the necessary inputs, future disruptions could lead to production challenges, lower margins or lost sales.
< Dependence on a limited number of key suppliers.
The steel industry is experiencing consolidation among suppliers of raw materials, slabs and other key inputs. Ternium has long-term contracts for some, but not all, of its main inputs and expects to maintain and renew them as needed. However, if a key supplier fails to deliver, if contracts are not renewed, or if regulations or sanctions restrict purchases, we may face limited access to critical inputs, increased costs or delays from having to source alternative suppliers.
< The construction of Ternium’s new steel slab facility in Mexico could be delayed and its cost could increase, if the operations of certain suppliers of heavy equipment are disrupted by geopolitical risk or our commercial relationship with them is otherwise affected, adversely impacting Ternium’s growth opportunities and profitability. Ternium is building a new
steelmaking facility in Pesquería to strengthen its operations and market position in the USMCA region. The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
To monitor closely
Disruptions in supply or price volatility can arise from market dynamics, supplier decisions, government interventions, trade sanctions, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters and other unforeseen events. These could lead to production challenges, lower margins or lost sales.
However, its execution depends on the timely delivery and installation of heavy equipment. Geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, sanctions or tariffs could disrupt suppliers’ ability to deliver, delay shipments or increase costs. If we cannot find timely or cost-effective alternatives, the project could face delays and higher expenses, negatively affecting our growth plans and profitability.

SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY POLICY

Ternium is a company committed to the development of its supply chain. Over the years the company has worked closely with its suppliers with the intention of building long-term business relationships and fostering mutual growth through knowledge transfer and the implementation of various assistance programs.
This Policy defines the behavior principles that Ternium expects from its suppliers. These principles are aligned with the United Nations Global Compact, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) and with Ternium’s own regulatory system.
The company will continue to collaborate with its suppliers with a view to improving the sustainability of the business and the supply chain, participating in the identification of risks and opportunities, including those related to climate change, providing training and raising awareness about the impacts of activities on the environment and in society.
In order to achieve efficiency in its supply processes, Ternium has established differentiated processes based on the particularities of the input/service purchased. Steel purchases are managed centrally, while purchases of raw materials and other goods and services are made through Exiros, a specialized company created in conjunction with its affiliate Tenaris and in which each shareholder owns 50% of stake.
Exiros offers comprehensive supply solutions including supplier search and selection activities, monitoring of business relationships and inventory management. Exiros has adopted a Code of Conduct, a Business Conduct Policy and a Sustainability Policy, equivalent to those adopted by Ternium, with the purpose of ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
This policy covers all supply activities of Ternium and its subsidiaries.
As a basis for sustainable development, Ternium expects its suppliers to carry out their activities in accordance with the following principles and extend the commitment to their respective value chains:
– Comply with the laws, norms and regulations applicable to its operations and those that may
correspond due to the nature of the commercial relationship with Ternium.
– Promote a safe and healthy work environment in order to avoid accidents and damage to the health
of its employees and third parties
– Generate the conditions for a work environment that respects the fundamental rights and dignity
of people, free from violence, harassment, abusive treatment or exploitation, having as reference the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN) and the principles of the International Labor Organization (ILO).

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE | ANNEXES | 127

– Promote diversity and reject any type of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation,
ethnicity, social origin, color, age, religion, physical condition or political opinion, or any circumstance that implies distinction, exclusion, restriction or impairment of human dignity.
– Protect the environment, minimizing the environmental impacts of its activities, maximizing
efficiency in the use of natural resources and proactively addressing the challenges of climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
– Implement the necessary measures to protect the information, communications and personal data,
and prevent computer security incidents that may result in damage to assets or the loss of Ternium information or of its employees, customers, business partners or related parties.
– Build an organizational culture of transparency and integrity, adopting corporate governance
policies, procedures and practices tending to ensure ethical behavior.
Ternium, either by itself or through third parties, will monitor the application of these principles based on the nature of the commercial relationship and the impact on the business. With this objective and in order to report the company’s sustainability indicators, Ternium may require certain suppliers information on their policies, actions and related metrics. This information, or the lack thereof, will be considered, among other factors, in the process of selecting and contracting the company’s suppliers.
This new Ternium Sustainable Supply Policy was approved by the Ternium SA Board of Directors in April 2023.

The company recognizes the significance of effective communication in cultivating an ethical culture within the organization. Ternium places a high priority on maintaining constant communication with directors, senior managers, and employees to enhance their understanding of compliance risks and the importance of adhering to applicable principles and regulations.
Ternium encourages active participation from all departments and emphasizes the value of seeking guidance when encountering red flags or ambiguous situations. By fostering open communication and promoting awareness, Ternium aims to strengthen its ethical framework throughout the organization.
Training on anti-bribery policies and procedures
Ternium has implemented an extensive training program on its anti-bribery policy and procedures.
This program aims at training Ternium’s employees on the company’s ethical commitment along with providing a clear set of guidelines and values.
In order to define the scope of application and concentrate efforts, sensitive functions are identified based on a risk matrix that takes into account the type of operation, the country of operation, and/or the involved parties. Individuals occupying or performing these functions generally become the focal point of the corporate compliance program activities.
However, all Ternium employees are obliged to acknowledge and adhere to the guidelines of the Code of Conduct upon joining the company. Eligible employees have to complete a mandatory e-learning course that includes the resolution of practical cases and a final evaluation and, according to their level of exposure, participate in an on-site or live training workshop as well.
81% of Ternium’s eligible employees have completed the training course on the company’s Policy on Business Conduct after its update in 2024. During the year, Ternium delivered live training sessions with focus on the upgraded Policy on Business Conduct, and the new Due Diligence Digital Tool for third-parties. Our anti-bribery training program also covers third-parties that represent or act on behalf of Ternium.
COMPLIANCE LINE
Ternium has established and encourages the use of its Compliance Line. This confidential channel is available to all employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders who wish to report any type of alleged breach of the Code of Conduct or Ternium’s policies.

Each relevant area evaluates the time horizon, probability of occurrence and potential impact of each risk. The impact is assessed differently depending on whether it affects personnel, the environment, infrastructure, the company’s business or its reputation.
CRC meetings focus on monitoring risks considered highly significant or critical according to Ternium’s risk matrix.
Cybersecurity risk management
Ternium has appointed an Information Security Officer to evaluate cybersecurity risks and manage related incidents. This officer reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who in turn reports to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The Board of Directors receives quarterly updates from both the CEO and CFO on overall risk management, including cybersecurity, and once a year the CIO presents a detailed cybersecurity report to the Board.
Like other risks in the Risk Management Matrix, cybersecurity risks are classified as critical, very significant, significant, or less significant based on their potential impact, likelihood, and severity. High-priority risks are reviewed at least three times as defined in the Risk Management Policy.

ANNEX 4 ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In 2024, Ternium successfully navigated through a downward market prices environment and uncertainties arising from trade tensions in North America during the second half of the year.
Net sales totaled $17.6 billion, remaining stable compared to 2023. With the full year consolidation of Usiminas in 2024, shipments grew by 10% in a year-over-year basis, to 15.6 million tons while average selling prices decreased in an equal magnitude reflecting the overall negative market trend.
Steel shipments in Mexico decreased by 2% due to a weakened commercial market that was largely offset by growth in shipments to industrial customers. The company further advanced in the construction of its new steel mill in the Pesquería industrial center as well as its downstream lines. In Brazil, steel shipments reached 3.9 million tons, largely due to the full consolidation of Usiminas in 2024. Shipments in the Southern Region experienced a 20% decline during the year as the Argentine economy continued its reconfiguration under the new administration’s reforms in the country.
In Other Markets, sales volumes improved in 2024, albeit starting from relatively weak shipments in 2023.
EBITDA was $2 billion, mainly because of a margin decrease driven by the lagged reflection of declining raw material prices in the first-in-first-out cost methodology.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 billion, with capital expenditures of $1.9 billion as the company advanced in the construction of the new downstream and upstream facilities in its industrial facility in Pesquería, Mexico. Additionally, the wind farm in Argentina started its operations in December 2024, reaching its full operational capacity by February 2025. Usiminas successfully ramped-up the main blast furnace at its Ipatinga facility, following its relining in 2023.
Although capital expenditures grew in 2024, Ternium continued to show a solid net cash position of $1.6 billion at the end of December 2024.
The dividend proposal for the 2024 period was $530 million, representing a 9% dividend yield.

NOTES
1. % of mining sites certified with ISO 14001
Mining operations certified under ISO 14001 include the Aquila site, the Tecomán transfer station, the Alzada pelletizing facility, and the Palomas mine. The 2023 figure was restated to exclude the El Encino facility, as it was not operational in 2023 or 2024 and has not yet resumed operations.
2. GHG Emissions Inventory (GHG Methodology)
These figures include CO 2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6. They cover steel production, finishing, power generation, and mining activities. The 2024 corporate inventory was third-party verified for all sites where Ternium has operational control. Offices and service centers are excluded due to their low significance (<1% of the company's electricity consumption).
3. Gross global Scope 1 emissions
Direct emissions - scope 1 was calculated using direct carbon content measurement performed by Ternium on the main raw materials. The percentage of gross global scope 1 CO2 emissions subject to GHG emissions regulations or programs in 2024 was 42%.
4. Gross market-based energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions
Was estimated using location based (Tier 2) and market-based (Tier 3) emission factors according to local electricity suppliers, and accounting for clean/renewable energy certificates that represent a reduction of 175 thousand tons of CO 2, and renewables PPAs that represent a reduction of 42 thousand tons of CO 2.
5. Gross other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions
Category 6 was 10.3 thousand tons in 2024.
Category 7 is no longer included due to limited data availability and its insignificant contribution to total Scope 3 emissions.
Category 9 was 5.8 thousand tons in 2024 and corresponds exclusively to Ternium Brazil.
Scope 3 emissions corresponding to the year 2023 were restated and reverified to incorporate improvements in category disclosures and updates to the emission factors of certain raw materials in
Category 1, such as coke, pellets, ferroalloys, and other metals.Updated value for 2023 total Scope 3 emissions is 14.8 million tCO 2e (+3.2 million tCO 2e).
6. C1.Purchased goods and services
Includes steel purchases from third parties calculated using Tier 3 emission factors from suppliers when available.
7. Energy and CO 2 Emissions up to crude steel (worldsteel methodology)
The energy and emissions data are limited to Ternium's sites with steel shops and are based on worldsteel's sectorial approach methodology. Worldsteel methodology has been published as an International Standard, ISO 14404:2013 - Calculation method of CO 2 emission intensity from iron and steel production. It consists of Part 1: Steel plant with blast furnace, Part 2: Steel plant with electric arc furnace (EAF), and Part 3: Steel plant with electric arc furnace (EAF) and coal-based or gas-based direct reduction iron (DRI) facility.
8. Total energy consumed
Accounts for all energy sources used, including fuels, electricity, and the energy required for feedstock production. The conversion factor from worldsteel methodology is used to convert from MWh of electricity consumed to MW. Conversion factor = 9.8 GJ/MWh.
9. Electricity consumed
Equals self-generated electricity plus electricity purchased for consumption less electricity sold.
10. Total fuel consumed
Includes fuels like natural gas, fuel oil, light oil and reducing agents like coal, coke and natural gas.

11. Scope 1 emissions intensity
Scope 1 emissions were calculated using Tier 3 emissions factors based on specific site measurements performed by Ternium on the main raw materials. CO 2 captured and sold to other industries is considered as emissions avoided. The percentage of gross global scope 1 CO 2 emissions subject to GHG emissions regulations or programs in 2024 was 40%.
12. Scope 2 emissions intensity
Scope 2 emissions were estimated using location based (Tier 2) and market-based (Tier 3) emission factors according to local electricity suppliers, and accounting for clean energy certificates that represent a reduction of 117ktons of CO2, and renewables PPAs that represent a reduction of 32 thousand tons of CO 2.
13. Scope 3 emissions intensity
Scope 3 emissions were calculated using Tier 1 and Tier 3 emission factors based on upstream emission factors provided by suppliers. It includes only category 1: purchases of goods and services (raw materials for crude steel production).
In 2024, we updated the emission factor for ferraloys and coke and we added aluminium and other metals as raw materials accounting for scope 3 emissions. In consequence 2024 data is not comparable with 2023 and 2022.
The Blast Furnace slag sold to other industries is considered as emissions avoided.
14. Emission intensity - scopes 1, 2 & 3
For the calculation, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are the only greenhouse gas considered, as established in the WSA methodology, due to the insignificant levels of other greenhouse gases in steelmaking processes. In absolute terms, CO₂ emissions amounted to 18.0 million tons with credits (from sales of blast furnace slag to the cement industry and sales of captured CO₂), and 19.2 million tons without credits.
In 2024, the calculation of Scope 3 was updated as mentioned in Note 13, so the emission intensity for 2024 is not comparable with 2023 and 2022.
15. Other Air Emissions
Air emissions indicators correspond to steel shops excluding power plants. They consider local legal requirements for monitoring and reporting emissions from all process stacks. All measurements resulted in values below the limits and guide values established by the authorities of each country. If power plants were included, the 2024 figures would be: PM 2.8 thousand tons, NOx 13.1 thousand tons and SOx 18.6 thousand tons.
16. SOx emissions
The increase in SOx emissions from 2023 to 2024 was driven by both operational and methodological factors. Operationally, the sulfur content in the sinter
feedstock used in Brazil increased, leading to higher emissions. From a methodological standpoint, the implementation of a new monitoring port at the sinter electrostatic precipitator stack at the San Nicolás facility in Argentina enabled more frequent isokinetic measurements starting in 2024,resulting in more accurate data.
17. Water Management
Water management figures exclude in all cases mining operations.
18. Total water intake
Total water intake includes water for all steelmaking and processing sites. It comes mostly from surface water sources in Argentina and Brazil (98%) and is primarily classified as fresh water, meaning water with a concentration of dissolved solids equal to or below 1,000 mg/L (99%).
Total water intake intensity, meaning total water intake divided by total crude steel produced in 2024 is 79.9 m3/ton crude steel.
Total water intake in regions with high or extremely high water stress is only 2% of total water intake.
19. Total water consumed
Consumption is defined by Worldsteel as the difference between water intake and discharge. The quality of the discharged water is monitored in accordance with local regulations in each country where Ternium operates.
20. Water intake (excluding power plants)
Water intake, excluding power plants, classified as freshwater represents 96%. Freshwater is defined as water with less than 1,000 mg/L of dissolved solids. This also includes treated sewage water.
21. % of water intake in regions with high or extremely high baseline water stress
It is calculated as the total water intake in areas with high water stress divided by the total water intake. According to WRI aqueduct tool 4.0, it is only Mexican facilities.
22. % of water consumed in locations with high or extremely high baseline water stress
It is calculated as the total water consumed (withdrawal minus discharge) in areas with high water stress divided by the total water consumed.
23. Water management at Mexican facilities
Includes steelmaking and downstream processes.
24. Third-party water
Third-party water is mainly sewage water from external wastewater treatment plants or directly sourced from the city’s drainage. In 2024, 53% of Mexican facilities’ water intake was treated sewage water.
25. Fresh water
Fresh water is water with a concentration of total dissolved solids equal to or below 1,000 mg/L
26. Internal treated and recycled water
Starting in 2024, the indicator began to include the water pumped from the hot rolling mill’s wastewater treatment plant. As a result, the 2022 and 2023 values were recalculated to ensure comparability.
27. Water intensity for steelmaking sites (only)
Water intensity considers water intake and reused water, treated internally. Excluding reused water, the 2024 figure is 2.8 m 3 per ton of crude steel.
28. Materials and waste
The information about materials and waste refers only to Ternium's steelmaking sites. In 2024, the classification of co-products was reviewed to standardize criteria across the countries where we operate and to exclude scrap, in alignment with worldsteel’s Material Efficiency guidelines. As a result, material efficiency, co-products, and waste data for 2022 and 2023 were restated.
29. Reused materials and co-products sold to third parties
In 2024, we revised our co-product classification to align with the guidelines established by worldsteel (Material Efficiency), excluding scrap from the co-product category. As a result of this reclassification, the reported values of co-products and reused materials generated in 2022 and 2023 have been adjusted to 5.0 and 5.2 million tonnes, respectively.
30. Mix Rock® & other mixes for the cement industry
Considering also downstream processes, this figure amounted to 141 thousand tons in 2024.
31. Waste
Total waste considering also downstream facilities and mining equals 261.3 thousand tons. The composition is the following:
-Waste directed to disposal: 219 thousand tons; Non-hazardous waste: 166.5 thousand tons; and Hazardous waste: 52.5 thousand tons
-Waste diverted from disposal: 42.3 thousand tons; Non-hazardous waste: 8.4 thousand tons; and Hazardous waste 33.9 thousand tons.
32. Mining tailing waste
The information regarding mining includes 50% of Consorcio Minero Benito Juárez Peña Colorada S.A. de C.V
33. Full-time employees covered by collective bargaining agreements
The 2023 figure has been restated.
