Irving, TX - October 16, 2025 - Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2025.
Peter Matt, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year for CMC as we laid the groundwork of our transformative strategy, which we believe will position our Company for years of value-accretive growth going forward. During fiscal 2025, we invested in the safety and development of our people, began execution of – and outperformed on – our TAG operational and commercial excellence commitments, and made meaningful progress on our micro mill investments. Additionally, after our year-end, we announced our pending acquisitions of Foley Products Company ("Foley") and Concrete Pipe & Precast ("CP&P"), which will establish a powerful new growth platform and broaden our commercial portfolio to create additional value for our people, our customers, and our shareholders. I am pleased with the progress made by the CMC team to-date and remain very confident that we will deliver meaningful and sustained enhancements to our margins, earnings, cash flows, and returns on capital over the long-term."
Mr. Matt added, "Looking at the fourth quarter, we achieved substantial improvement in our financial results both sequentially and year-over-year, underpinned by supportive market conditions across each of our segments, including the continuation of margin recovery within the North America Steel Group, solid demand for our proprietary value added products offered by the Emerging Businesses Group, and improving levels of long steel consumption in the geographies served by our Europe Steel Group. Activity within the domestic construction market remained resilient, as demonstrated by our healthy shipment levels of steel products, downstream products, and several EBG solutions, including geogrid and corrosion resistant reinforcing steel. Signs of new work in the construction pipeline continue to be encouraging with CMC’s bid volumes, as well as key external indicators,

pointing to pent-up demand. Looking ahead, we are hopeful that the Fed interest rate reduction cycle that began last month will spur the conversion of some of the pent-up demand to real activity during fiscal 2026. Longer-term, we remain confident in the outlook for construction and are poised to benefit from powerful structural trends within our key end markets."
Fourth quarter net earnings were $151.8 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.1 billion, compared to prior year period net earnings of $103.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.0 billion.
For the full fiscal 2025, CMC reported net earnings of $84.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, on net sales of $7.8 billion compared to prior year net earnings of $485.5 million, or $4.14 per diluted share, on net sales of $7.9 billion. Included in fiscal 2025 net earnings is an after-tax charge of approximately $274 million related to previously disclosed litigation.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded net after-tax charges of $3.2 million, related to interest expense on the judgment amount associated with previously disclosed litigation, an impairment charge, and an unrealized gain on undesignated commodity hedges. Excluding these charges, fourth quarter adjusted earnings were $155.0 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings of $97.4 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the prior year period. During fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded estimated net after-tax charges of $274 million to reflect the judgment amount and related interest costs associated with the previously disclosed Pacific Steel Group litigation. "Adjusted EBITDA," "core EBITDA," "core EBITDA margin," "adjusted earnings" and "adjusted earnings per diluted share" are non-GAAP financial measures. Details, including a reconciliation of each such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, can be found in the financial tables that follow.
The Company's balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong. As of August 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 billion and available liquidity was nearly $1.9 billion. During the quarter, CMC repurchased 974,462 shares of common stock valued at $50.0 million in the aggregate. As of August 31, 2025, $205.0 million remained available under the current share repurchase authorization.
On October 15, 2025, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share of CMC common stock payable to stockholders of record on October 30, 2025. The dividend, to be paid on November 13, 2025, marks the 244 th consecutive quarterly payment by the Company.

Business Segments - Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Review
North America Steel Group product demand remained stable during the quarter. Shipments of finished steel products grew by 3.0% relative to the prior year period and were unchanged relative to the third quarter. The pipeline of potential future construction projects remained healthy as indicated by CMC’s downstream bidding activity and the record level of the Dodge Momentum Index, which measures the value of projects entering the planning phase. Downstream backlog volumes declined by a mid-single digit percentage year-over-year due to more disciplined commercial selectivity relating to project margin goals and risk profile. The backlog remains well-sized by historical standards and is positioned to support steel shipments over the coming quarters. Shipments of merchant products grew compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 as CMC increased its ability to serve West Coast customers from the Arizona 2 micro mill.
Margins on steel products maintained an upward trajectory during the quarter, increasing by $69 per ton on a sequential basis. Compared to the third quarter, the average selling price for steel products improved by $23 per ton, while scrap costs declined by $46 per ton. Price levels increased throughout the quarter, with steel product metal margins exiting the fourth quarter approximately $31 per ton above the average for the period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the North America Steel Group increased 18.0% to $239.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 from $202.9 million in the prior year period and by 33.1% compared to $179.9 million in the third quarter. The year-over-year improvement was driven by higher margins over scrap costs on steel products as well as positive contributions from CMC’s TAG program, partially offset by lower margins over scrap on downstream products. TAG benefits during the fourth quarter reflect solid execution across a number of ongoing initiatives, including melt shop and rolling mill yield enhancement, scrap cost optimization, logistics optimization and reduced alloy consumption. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the North America Steel Group was 14.8%, up from 13.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
EBG fourth quarter net sales of $221.8 million increased by 13.4% compared to the prior year period and 12.3% from the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment of $50.6 million was up 19.1% year-over-year and 23.8% sequentially. Improved segment profitability on a year-over-year basis was driven by record Tensar performance that benefited from solid demand and enhanced cost efficiency. Financial results for CMC Construction Services, CMC Impact Metals, and Performance Reinforcing Steel ("PRS") also improved on a year-over-year basis. Net sales and margins within CMC Construction Services benefited from initiatives to standardize commercial practices and grow store traffic, while strong project-related demand continued to propel PRS performance. Indications of future market conditions remained encouraging with project quotes and new planning activity at healthy levels. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.8% improved by 110 basis points compared to the prior year period and was the highest on record.

(CMC Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 - 4)
Market conditions for the Europe Steel Group improved modestly from the third quarter. Demand continued to normalize as a result of solid Polish economic growth, while on the supply side, import flows ticked up slightly from recent levels, but remained well below the disruptive levels of a year ago. Metal margin expanded by $24 per ton sequentially in the fourth quarter, driven by a $5 per ton increase in average selling price and a $19 per ton decline in scrap costs. Financial results continued to benefit from an extensive cost management program that has meaningfully reduced controllable costs.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Europe Steel Group increased to $39.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 from a loss of $3.6 million in the prior year period and positive adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million in the third quarter. The year-over-year improvement was driven by the receipt of a $30.7 million CO 2 credit, as well as higher metal margins, increased shipment volumes, and strong cost performance. The adjusted EBITDA margin for the Europe Steel Group of 14.8% increased from (1.6%) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Outlook
Mr. Matt said, "We expect consolidated financial results in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to be generally consistent with those of the fourth quarter. Finished steel shipments within the North America Steel Group are anticipated to follow normal seasonal trends, while our adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to increase sequentially on higher steel product margins over scrap. While we expect financial results for the Emerging Businesses Group to decline on a sequential basis due to seasonality, we believe they will improve year-over-year. Our Europe Steel Group will receive the second tranche of the annual CO 2 credit in the amount of approximately $15 million during the first quarter, but less than the $30.7 million recovered during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding this credit, adjusted EBITDA for our Europe Steel Group is likely to be around breakeven as seasonal factors weigh on profitability."
Mr. Matt concluded, "As we enter fiscal 2026, I continue to be enthusiastic about the long-term outlook for our company and our ability to create significant value for our shareholders. We remain focused on executing against our strategic plan, which we expect to deliver meaningful and sustained enhancements to our margins, earnings, cash flow generation, and return on capital. We will achieve these results by leveraging our TAG operational and commercial excellence program to get more out of our existing enterprise, continuing to drive value-accretive organic growth projects, and adding complementary early-stage construction solutions that customers value, including the new growth platform that will be provided by our pending acquisitions of Foley and CP&P. We are confident these efforts will position CMC to take full advantage of powerful structural trends in the domestic construction market for years to come."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA, core EBITDA margin and adjusted earnings are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. Core EBITDA margin is defined as core EBITDA divided by net sales. The adjustment "Settlement of New Markets Tax Credit transactions" represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company’s participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The adjustment "Litigation expense" represents a provision recorded in the three months ended November 30, 2024 related to the judgment in the Pacific Steel Group litigation and, with respect to subsequent periods, interest expense on the judgment amount.
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company modified its method of calculating adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses on undesignated commodity derivatives. This change was primarily driven by heightened volatility in copper forward markets, which introduced significant non-cash fluctuations unrelated to core operations. By removing this volatility, the revised metric provides a more representative view of operating performance and cash-generating capability. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the impact of this change on prior-period disclosures and has recast adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA, core EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share for all periods presented in this press release to conform to this presentation.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as alternatives to, the most directly comparable measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. However, we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to management, investors, analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as they allow: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our underlying business operational performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate financial performance.
