<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;29, 2017, we and our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC,
entered into the purchase agreement with the sellers, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the acquired businesses for a cash purchase price of $600.0&nbsp;million, which is subject to a customary purchase price adjustment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, associated adjustments and related information, or the pro forma
statements, give effect to the acquisition of the acquired businesses. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes this acquisition was consummated on February&nbsp;28, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement
of earnings assumes the acquisition was consummated on March&nbsp;1, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following pro forma statements have been prepared for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what our condensed combined financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition of the acquired businesses been completed as of the dates
indicated. In addition, the pro forma statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company. The pro forma statements do not include (i)&nbsp;all reclassifications or adjustments to conform the
acquired business&#146; financial statement presentation or accounting policies to those adopted by the Company, (ii)&nbsp;potential additional fair value adjustments to equity method investments, cost method investments, content and property, plant
and equipment, (iii)&nbsp;adjustments for certain tax assets and liabilities or (iv)&nbsp;the impact of pending or future investments by the Company. The pro forma statements also do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits
from the acquisition or synergies that may be derived. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s fiscal year ends on August&nbsp;31, while the fiscal year with
respect to the acquired businesses ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the twelve months ended February&nbsp;28, 2018 combines the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of earnings of the
Company for the twelve months ended February&nbsp;28, 2018 with the statement of earnings for the acquired businesses for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of February&nbsp;28, 2018
combines the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of February&nbsp;28, 2018 with the balance sheet of the acquired businesses as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. The Company&#146;s consolidated financial data for the last
twelve months ended February&nbsp;28, 2018 has been derived by adding the consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended August&nbsp;31, 2017, as adjusted to give effect to the classification of the additional
disposition and wind down as discontinued operations, to the corresponding unaudited consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2018 and subtracting the corresponding unaudited
consolidated statements of earnings information and comprehensive income for the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2017 (except for per share data). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The pro forma statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following information: </P>

accompanying pro forma statements are based on our historical consolidated financial statements and the acquired businesses&#146; historical combined financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Company&#146;s acquisition of the acquired
businesses and the related financing transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes this acquisition was consummated on February&nbsp;28, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings assumes
the acquisition was consummated on March&nbsp;1, 2017. The Company has adjusted the historical consolidated financial statements in the pro forma financial statements to give effects to items that are (1)&nbsp;directly attributable to the pro forma
transactions, (2)&nbsp;factually supportable, and (3)&nbsp;with respect to the statements of earnings, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The pro forma statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of earnings does not reflect cost savings expected to be realized from the elimination of certain expenses and synergies expected to be created or the costs to achieve such cost savings or synergies. Such costs may be material and
no assurance can be given that cost savings or synergies will be realized. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to prepare the pro forma statements, the Company
performed a preliminary review of the acquired businesses&#146; accounting policies to identify significant differences. The Company is currently conducting a detailed review of the acquired businesses&#146; accounting policies to determine if
differences in accounting policies require further adjustment or reclassification of the acquired businesses&#146; results of operations, assets or liabilities to conform to the Company&#146;s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of
that review, the Company may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the notes below, which should be read in conjunction with the
pro forma statements. Since the pro forma statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, the final amounts may differ materially from the information presented. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change
pending further review of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, and as additional information becomes available. Additionally, the final purchase price allocation will be determined after the acquisition is completed and the final
amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 2. Purchase Consideration </B></P>

price adjustment. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering of notes, the incurrence of $150.0&nbsp;million under the 2018 term loan and cash on hand to fund the cash consideration in connection with the acquisition of the acquired
businesses and to pay the fees and expenses related thereto. See Note 5. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of

of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may be materially different than the value
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the estimated pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of fair values and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the Acquisition. The
allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies conducted to date; however, not all such work has been completed. Additionally, useful lives assigned to the acquired assets will be determined after the closing of the acquisition of
the acquired businesses. For purposes of the pro forma statements, we have assumed a useful life of 25, 15, and 5 years for real property, personal property, and intangibles, respectively. </TD></TR></TABLE>

statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Auditors&#146; Responsibility </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor&#146;s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the Gerdau Target Business&#146;s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Gerdau Target Business&#146;s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Opinion </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Gerdau Ameristeel
Target Business as of December&nbsp;31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </P>

combined financial statements, the accompanying combined financial statements include the allocation of certain expenses from Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation. These allocated expenses may not be reflective of the actual level of costs which would have
been incurred had the Gerdau Target Business operated as a separate entity apart from Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. </P>

to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.
Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of inventory and long-lived assets,
including goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; percentage of completion accounting method for revenue recognition; reserve for job losses and environmental liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly
from these estimates and assumptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign Currency Translation </B></P>

identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill is tested, at the
reporting unit level, for impairment annually or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not

the purpose of this combined financial statement, management allocated a portion of the goodwill recorded at the Parent level to the Business, since the operations included in the combined financial statements were not individual operating segments

Sayreville, New Jersey, Knoxville, Tennessee and the east coast downstream operations. The reporting units are aligned with the way the Business is managed and the way current oversight is provided management. Allocation of goodwill between

expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Business&#146;s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the combined
financial statements and their corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income (loss), and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and
interests in joint ventures, except where the Business is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from
deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and
they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and
assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Business expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is
reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax losses carried forward. The Business reviews the deferred tax

compensation during the period of employment. Annual contributions are made in conformity with minimum funding requirements and maximum deductible limitations. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will
receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years or service and compensation. Many employees are also covered by the defined contribution retirement plans of the Parent. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan
under which the Business pays fixed contributions into a trust which is separate from the Business and under the control of trustees. Contributions are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. The Business
has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the trust does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:18%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit plans of Tamco. In accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement, only the liability related to the Tamco Pension Plan for Hourly Employees is being
assumed in the purchase and the Tamco Pension Plan for Salaried Employees will be retained by the Parent. The defined benefit obligation for pension is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method prorated on
service and management&#146;s best estimate of expected plan investment performance for funded plans, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and expected health care costs. The discount rate used for determining the liability for future
benefits is the current interest rate at the balance sheet date on high quality fixed income investments with maturities that match the expected maturity of the obligations. </P>

service cost related to the employees that are part of the Business and that participate in this multi-employer pension plan has been allocated to the combined statement of operations of the Business. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level&nbsp;1 represents unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level&nbsp;2
represents quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level&nbsp;1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level&nbsp;3 represents valuations derived from valuation techniques in
which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.&nbsp;There were no transfers into or out of Level&nbsp;1, 2 or 3 assets during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. The carrying values of the Business&#146;s
short-term items, including trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and short term debt, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The underlying investments within the defined benefit pension plans include assets that are
classified as Level&nbsp;1 and Level&nbsp;2. See Note 12 for further information regarding pension plan assets.&nbsp;Certain assets are measured at fair value on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> basis utilizing Level&nbsp;3
inputs such as goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017, goodwill was determined to be impaired and measurement at fair value was applicable. </P>

of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Business plans to adopt the standard when required and currently expects to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach. The Business has not evaluated the
impact of this guidance on its combined financial statements. The Business will be required to implement changes to its accounting policies, practices, and internal controls over financial reporting to support the standard both in the transition

tested goodwill allocated to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">carve-out</FONT> Business for impairment as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. Goodwill from the Parent was allocated to the Business based on the relative fair value of the Business to the
Parent&#146;s total fair value. Management determined the consideration to be exchanged defined in the Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement to be the most objective measurement of fair value of the Business. The Business&#146;s reporting units with
significant balances of goodwill include the West Coast, which includes the Rancho Cucamonga, California mill and RSW operations, and the East Coast, which includes Jacksonville, Florida, Sayreville, New Jersey, Knoxville, Tennessee and the east
coast downstream operations. The reporting units are aligned with the way the Business is managed and the way current oversight is provided. Allocation of goodwill between reporting units is based on relative fair value, which approximates book
value. It was determined the carrying amount of the Business&#146;s net assets exceeded their fair value. Accordingly, in December 2017, a goodwill impairment of $97&nbsp;million and $216&nbsp;million in the West and East, respectively was
recognized. </P>

U.S. tax code by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; limiting deductibility of interest expense; and implementing a territorial-style tax system imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of

corporate tax rate to 21&nbsp;percent, effective from January&nbsp;1, 2018. Consequently, the Business has recorded a decrease related to net deferred tax asset of $2.6&nbsp;million, with a corresponding expense adjustment to income from operations
of $2.6&nbsp;million. At the same time, the Business also has recorded a decrease related to the valuation allowance of $2.6&nbsp;million, with a corresponding benefit adjustment to income from operation of $2.6&nbsp;million. The ultimate impact of
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may differ from the Business&#146; estimates due to changes in the interpretations and assumptions made by the Business as well as additional regulatory guidance that may be issued. </P>

both the federal and state level over EAF dust is subject to change, which may change the cost of compliance.&nbsp;While EAF dust is generated in current production processes, such EAF dust is being collected, handled and disposed of in a manner
that the Business believes meets all current federal, state and provincial environmental regulations. The costs of collection and disposal of EAF dust are expensed as operating costs when incurred.&nbsp;In addition, the Business has handled and
disposed of EAF dust in other manners in previous years, and is responsible for the remediation of certain sites where such dust was generated and/or disposed. </P>

determinations, the Business may employ outside consultants and providers of such remedial services to assist in making such determinations. Considering the uncertainties inherent in determining the costs associated with the <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In June 2017, our Board of Directors approved a plan to exit our International Marketing and Distribution segment. As an initial step in this
plan, on August&nbsp;31, 2017, we completed the sale of our raw materials trading business, or CMC Cometals, for $170.4&nbsp;million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. In addition, on March&nbsp;2, 2018, we sold certain assets and
liabilities of our Australian steel trading business for cash proceeds of $45.4&nbsp;million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Finally, during our second quarter of fiscal 2018, we completed the substantial wind down of the remaining
operations that were previously included in the International Marketing and Distribution segment. With June 2017 as a starting point, once completed, we expect the exit plan described herein will result in a liquidation of working capital in excess
of $350.0&nbsp;million. The results of these activities have been classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of earnings for all periods presented in this offering memorandum. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">IRVING, Texas, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ &#150; Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) (&#147;<U>CMC</U>&#148;) announced today that it is offering to sell,
subject to market and other conditions, $350&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2026 (the &#147;<U>Notes</U>&#148;) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
&#147;<U>Securities Act</U>&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Final terms for the offering of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing. The Notes will be CMC&#146;s
senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. CMC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance a portion of the purchase price of its previously announced
acquisition of certain U.S. rebar steel mill and fabrication assets from Gerdau S.A. (NYSE: GGB) (the &#147;<U>Business</U>&#148;). If the acquisition of the Business does not close for any reason, CMC intends to use the net proceeds of the offering
for general corporate purposes. In such event, CMC will also have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the initial offering price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of redemption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There can be no assurance that the offering of the Notes will be completed. The offering of the Notes is not
contingent upon the closing of the acquisition of the Business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be sold only to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in
accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the
United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or other jurisdictions&#146; securities laws. CMC intends to enter into a registration rights agreement in
connection with the Notes offering pursuant to which CMC will file a registration statement covering the future exchange or resale of the Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer, if at all, will be made only pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from CMC&#146;s expectations include the
following: changes in economic conditions which affect demand for our products or construction activity generally, and the impact of such changes on the highly cyclical steel industry; rapid and significant changes in the price of metals potentially
impairing our inventory values due to declines in commodity prices; excess capacity in our industry, particularly in China, and product availability from competing steel mills and other steel suppliers including import quantities and pricing;
compliance with and changes in environmental laws and regulations, including increased regulation associated with climate change and greenhouse gas emissions; potential limitations in our or our customers&#146; abilities to access credit and <FONT

such as the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required approvals under applicable antitrust legislation and other regulatory and third party consents and approvals; potential volatility in the capital markets and its impact on the ability
to complete the proposed financing necessary to pay the purchase price for the Business; failure to retain key management and employees of the Business; issues or delays in the successful integration of the Business&#146; operations with those of
the Company, including incurring or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays or difficulties; difficulties or delays in the successful transition of the Business to the information technology systems of the Company as well as risks associated
with other integration or transition of the operations, systems and personnel of the Business; future levels of revenues being lower than expected and costs being higher than expected; failure or inability to implement growth strategies in a timely
manner; unfavorable reaction to the acquisition of the Business by customers, competitors, suppliers and employees; currency fluctuations; global factors, including political uncertainties and military conflicts; availability of electricity,

pricing of raw materials over which we exert little influence, including scrap metal, energy, insurance and supply prices; unexpected equipment failures; competition from other materials or from competitors that have a lower cost structure or access
to greater financial resources; losses or limited potential gains due to hedging transactions; litigation claims and settlements, court decisions, regulatory rulings and legal compliance risks; risk of injury or death to employees, customers or
other visitors to our operations; increased costs related to health care reform legislation; impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; and those factors listed under Item 1A. Risk Factors included in CMC&#146;s Annual Report filed on Form <FONT
