Growth in 2022 awards signals a strong spring and summer construction season for 2023  CMC’s internal demand measures echo key external indicators. The flow of new work into the project pipeline remains robust, with a solid blend of private and public work  Backlog repricing over the last six quarters, combined with strong award activity, has led to historically high value in backlog Q2 FY23 Supplemental Slides │ March 23, 2023 6  The ongoing Structural Adjustment has occurred in phases: 1) Pandemic driven North to South migration and residential buildout 2) Construction of e-commerce facilities, warehouses, and data centers 3) Major reshoring projects (e.g., semiconductors, LNG facilities, automotive suppliers) 4) Federally funded infrastructure investment is yet to impact construction activity, but is expected to do so in calendar 2023 Re ba r C on su m pt io n (m ill io n to ns ) U.S. Rebar Consumption Trending Up1 (trailing 12-month basis) [1] Data from Steel Manufacturers’ Association [2] Growth in state and local government highway contracts awarded in 2022 vs. 2021 as reported by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association Dodge Momentum Index 43% y/y State Highway Contract Awards2 24% y/y CMC New Project Bid Volumes 34% y/y Downstream Backlog Value 20% y/y Near-Term Market Outlook – Key Construction Indicators External Indicators Internal Indicators

Powerful Long-Term Structural Trends Emerging • 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) significantly increases federal support for infrastructure investment − Estimated to increase annual rebar demand by 1.5 million tons at full run-rate • Several states have meaningfully increased long-term highway funding, driven by the need for investment and strong tax revenues INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT 7Q2 FY23 Supplemental Slides │ March 23, 2023 • Supply chain failures and direct government support have stimulated a massive amount of investment across multiple industries • A recent survey1 of manufacturing executives indicated that 68% intend to invest in reshoring projects, and shift 36% of Asia-originating shipments to other regions (e.g. Western hemisphere) RESHORING AND SUPPLY CHAIN REALIGNMENT • The war in Ukraine and the resulting European energy crisis has led Europe to seek reliable sources of natural gas − Projects in planning or under construction have reached commercial deals on long- term arrangements • Legislation to promote investment in renewable energy ENERGY Successive crises of pandemic, supply chain failures, and geopolitical shocks have launched significant structural adjustments. Construction activity is at the heart of economic realignment. Dodge Analytics Infrastructure Design- Phase Index +400% Y/Y (trailing 3-mo) 5-Year Highway Construction Budgets in CMC Top 3 States6 Expected +24% vs. past year Semiconductor Investments2 12 projects $287 billion Electric Vehicle and Battery Plants3 ~20 projects >$61 billion LNG Export Terminals in U.S. Gulf4 9 projects in planning or under construction The trends highlighted above have the potential to support rebar demand for multiple years. Investments are being driven by necessity and the availability of government funding, making them less interest rate sensitive than traditional non-residential markets like office, retail, and lodging. These investments are also more rebar intensive. Infrastructure, for example, consumes 6x as much rebar per dollar invested compared to single-family housing and 5x a standard non-residential structure. 3.6 5.2 26.4 0 10 20 30 Residential Non-Res Infrastructure Rebar Consumption Intensities5 (5-year average: tons of rebar consumed per $ million of value put-in-place) [1] Survey conducted by Deloitte and reported in November 2022 [2] Data from CNBC [3] Data from Atlas Public Policy report [4] Data from S&P [5] Rebar intensities equal to consumption by market segment per Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute divided by total construction spending by market segment per the U.S. Census Bureau [5] Source: McKinsey [6] CMC estimates based on government filings and reports Federal Support for Green Energy5 $250 billion from Inflation Reduction Act

Definitions for non-GAAP financial measures Q2 FY23 Supplemental Slides │ March 23, 2023 25 ADJUSTED EARNINGS Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to earnings before debt extinguishment costs, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, certain gains on sale of assets, asset impairments, purchase accounting effect on inventory, mill operational start-up costs, acquisition and integration related costs and other, including the estimated income tax effects thereof. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted earnings provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted earnings may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (or adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. CORE EBITDA Core EBITDA is the sum of net earnings before interest expense and income taxes. It also excludes recurring non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, and amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog. Core EBITDA also excludes debt extinguishment costs, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, non-cash equity compensation, certain gains on sale of assets, certain facility closure costs, acquisition settlement costs, labor cost government refunds, acquisition and integration related costs, mill operational start-up costs, CMC Steel Oklahoma incentives, severance, and purchase accounting effect on inventory. Core EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to earnings (loss) from continuing operations or net earnings (loss), or as a better measure of liquidity than net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP. However, we believe that Core EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is often used by analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as it allows: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Additionally, Core EBITDA is the target benchmark for our annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans for management. Core EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company’s net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, and amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. ADJUSTED EBITDA LESS SUSTAINING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND DISBURSEMENTS TO STAKEHOLDERS Adjusted EBITDA less sustaining capital expenditures and disbursements to shareholders is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization (used as a proxy for sustaining capital expenditures) less interest expense, less cash income taxes less dividend payments plus stock-based compensation. NET DEBT Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL Return on Invested Capital is defined as: 1) after-tax operating profit divided by 2) total assets less cash & cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing liabilities. For annual measures, trailing 5-quarter averages are used for balance sheet figures. FREE CASH FLOW Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures.
