<P STYLE="font: italic 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The following discussion of Gerdau S.A.&rsquo;s
(which we refer to as &ldquo;Gerdau&rdquo; or &ldquo;we&rdquo;) results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025
and 2024 should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) on March 14, 2025 (which we refer to as the &ldquo;2024

<P STYLE="font: italic 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Gerdau&rsquo;s actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth herein under &ldquo;Cautionary Statement with Respect to Forward-Looking
Statements&rdquo; and &ldquo;Item 3. Key Information&mdash;Risk Factors&rdquo; in our 2024 Annual Report. The results of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year
ending December 31, 2025.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">Significant events affecting financial performance
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our operating results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, were influenced by a challenging and volatile macroeconomic
scenario, as well as weaker results in North America. This was primarily due to reductions in steel prices throughout 2024, partially
offset by the higher overall shipment volume and the exchange rate variation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our North America Segment (which, as of March 31,
2025, includes the special steel operation in the United States) ended the first quarter of 2025 with shipment volumes 7.9% higher than
in the first quarter of 2024. This growth is partly due to the reaction of customers to changes in U.S. trade policy, favoring the consumption
of steel produced by the local industry. The reintroduction of certain U.S. tariffs under Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act
of 1962 (the &ldquo;Section 232 Tariffs&rdquo;) led to a significant increase in demand, due to a rebalancing of supply and stocking within
the sector. Despite this growth, the activity levels of the main industries that Gerdau serves in North America, industrial and automotive,
as well as oil and gas, remain below those of previous years, while non-residential construction and infrastructure sectors continue on
equivalent levels as those of previous years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In our Brazil Segment (which, as of March 31, 2025,
also includes the special steel operation in this country), shipment volumes remained stable in the three-month period ended March 31,
2025 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This is mainly a result of export growth, which offset the decline in the
domestic market, impacted mainly by the high imported steel penetration. Demand for steel on the domestic market continues to benefit
from the construction, machinery, and agricultural implements sectors. However, the pressure of steel imports into Brazil, especially
due to the entry of steel under conditions of predatory competition, continues to be a major concern for the sector. In the three-month
period ended March 31, 2025, imports of rolled steel returned to high levels, having been 34.0% higher than in the three-month period
ended March 31, 2024, further demonstrating our view that the current quota tariff system continues to be ineffective in defending domestic
production in the Brazilian steel industry.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In the South America Segment, shipments increased
by 4.5% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, driven by a slight recovery
in Argentina following the economic measures implemented by the government by late 2023. However, steel prices in the country remain under
pressure due to lower domestic demand and greater availability of imported steel. In Uruguay, the suspension of public infrastructure
projects may start to impact local steel demand, while in Peru, shipments have remained resilient, driven mainly by activity in the infrastructure
sector.</P>
