| OUTLOOK* 5 NORTH AMERICA 2Q25: Margins upturn BRAZIL 2Q25: Margins stability Continued discipline in capital allocation through strategic CAPEX and share buyback Resilient volumes, with backlogs above historical levels (>70 days); Higher spread due to better steel prices and stable scrap costs; 2025: US import tariffs may have a positive impact on capacity utilization rate and spreads; Constructive outlook on market conditions, especially demand in the non-residential construction sector; Attention to customer uncertainty due to recent trade measures. Volumes upturn in the domestic market, especially flat steel, with the BQ2 start-up; Price pressure, especially on long steel, due to the fierce competitive scenario; Costs returning to standard levels. 2025: Civil construction and automotive markets with resilient demand in the current economic scenario, with attention to the eventual impacts of high interest rates; Risk of continued increase in imports due to higher tariffs in other markets and inefficiency of the quota-tariff system. * This does not represent guidance.
