<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">On February&nbsp;10, 2025, the Company,
after fulfilling all the conditions precedent, including approval by the antitrust authorities, concluded the transaction with Sumitomo
Corporation and The Japan Steel Works Ltd., for the acquisition of 39.53% and 1.74%, respectively, of the total shares issued by Gerdau
Summit A&ccedil;os Fundidos e Forjados S.A. (&ldquo;Gerdau Summit&rdquo;). With the closing of the transaction, the Company owns 100%
of the Gerdau Summit&rsquo;s capital. The acquisition price, paid in cash with own resources, was approximately US$ 32.6 million (equivalent
to R$ 188.6 million on the date of completion of the transaction), and as a result of the acquisition, the Company obtained a gain from
a bargain purchase of R$ 37.7 million, due to the acquisition price being lower than the fair value of Gerdau Summit, with the gain being
recognized in the income statement of the period. Gerdau Summit is located in Pindamonhangaba, in the state of S&atilde;o Paulo, and
produces cast and forged steel, especially for the production of cylinders and axles in the steel, aluminum, sugar and ethanol and energy
sectors. The transaction is in line with the Company&rsquo;s strategy of generating greater synergy between its businesses and offering
higher value- added products and services to its customers. Gerdau Summit, until then a joint venture, with this transaction becomes
a subsidiary of the Company.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">The Company has contracts with financial
institutions in order to allow its suppliers to anticipate their receivables through an operation called &ldquo;Trade Accounts Payable
 &ndash; Debtor Risk&rdquo;. In this operation, suppliers can transfer, at their discretion, the right to receive the securities to a
financial institution, which, in turn, becomes the holder of the rights of the suppliers&rsquo; receivables. The average discount rate
on risk transactions carried out by our suppliers with financial institutions in Brazil and with subsidiaries in the United States was
based on market conditions. The transfer of the right to receive the Company&rsquo;s securities, at the supplier&rsquo;s discretion,
does not change the payment term, nor does it imply the payment of interest by the Company, as the financial cost of such transfer is
the responsibility of the supplier. Therefore, the payment term for suppliers at risk drawn varies between 7 and 132 days, with the same
payment term for suppliers who do not choose to advance their receivables through the operation called &ldquo;Trade Accounts Payable
 &ndash; Debtor Risk&rdquo;.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>c) Risk factors that could affect the Company&rsquo;s and its subsidiaries&rsquo;
businesses:</B></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Price risk of commodities</B>: this risk is related to the possibility
of changes in prices of the products sold by the Company or in prices of raw materials and other inputs used in the productive process.
Since the Company operates in a commodity market, net sales and cost of sales may be affected by changes in the international prices of
their products or materials. In order to minimize this risk, the Company constantly monitors the price variations in the domestic and
international markets. Furthermore, the Company may contract derivatives in order to reduce this risk.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Interest rate risk</B>: this risk arises from the effects of fluctuations
in interest rates applied to the Company&rsquo;s financial liabilities or assets and future cash flows and income. The Company evaluates
its exposure to these risks: (i)&nbsp;comparing financial assets and liabilities denominated at fixed and floating interest rates and
(ii)&nbsp;monitoring the variations of interest rates like Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and CDI. Accordingly, the Company may
enter into interest rate swaps in order to reduce this risk.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Exchange rate risk</B>: this risk is related to the possibility
of fluctuations in exchange rates affecting the amounts of financial assets or liabilities or of future cash flows and income. The Company
assesses its exposure to the exchange rate by measuring the difference between the amount of its assets and liabilities in foreign currency.
The Company understands that the accounts receivables originated from exports, its cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies
and its investments abroad are more than equivalent to its liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Since the management of these
exposures occurs at each operation level, if there is a mismatch between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, the Company
may contract derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Credit risk</B>: this risk arises from the possibility of the Company
not receiving amounts arising from sales to customers or investments made with financial institutions. In order to minimize this risk,
the Company adopt the procedure of analyzing in details of the financial position of their customers, establishing a credit limit and
constantly monitoring their balances. Regarding financial investments, the Company only carries out transactions with first-rate institutions
and with low credit risk, as assessed by rating agencies and risk mitigation parameters defined in the Company&rsquo;s internal guidelines.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Capital management risk</B>: this risk comes from the Company&rsquo;s
choice in adopting a financing structure for its operations. The Company manages its capital structure, which consists of a ratio between
the financial debts and its own capital (Net Equity) based on internal policies and benchmarks. The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) related
to the &ldquo;Capital Structure Management&rdquo; objective are: WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), Net Debt/EBITDA (Earnings before
interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization), Coverage Ratio of Net Financial Expenses (EBITDA/Net Financial Expenses) and Debt/Total
Capitalization Ratio. Net Debt is formed by the principal of the debt reduced by cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (notes
4, 12 and 13). Total Capitalization is formed by the Total Debt (composed of the principal of the debt) and the Net Equity (Note 17).
The Company may change its capital structure, according to economic and financial conditions, in order to optimize its financial leverage
and debt management. At the same time, the Company seeks to improve its ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) through the implementation of
working capital management and an efficient program of investments in property, plant and equipment. In the long term, the Company seeks
to remain within the parameters below, admitting occasional variations in the short term:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Foreign currency sensitivity analysis</B>: As of September&nbsp;30,
2025, the Company is mainly exposed to variations between the Real and the Dollar. The sensitivity analysis carried out by the Company
considers the effects of a 5% increase or decrease between the Real and the Dollar in its non-hedged debts (loans and financing), trade
accounts receivable - exports from Brazil and trade accounts payable &ndash; imports (imports/exports). Variations between the local currencies
of other countries and the Dollar do not represent material exposures. In this analysis, if the Real appreciates against the Dollar, this
would represent a gain of R$ 14,096 (gain of R$ 5,110 as of September&nbsp;30, 2024). If the Real depreciates against the Dollar, this
would represent a loss of the same amount. As for foreign currency variations in Imports/Exports, if the Real appreciates against the
Dollar, this would represent a gain of R$ 84,863 (gain of R$ 30,695 as of September&nbsp;30, 2024), if the Real depreciates against the
Dollar, this would represent a loss of the same value.</P>

analysis made by the Company considers the effects of an increase or reduction of 10 basis point (bps) on the average interest rate applicable
to the floating part of its debt. The calculated impact, considering this variation in the interest rate totals R$ 47,930 as of September&nbsp;30,
2025 (R$ 35,749 as of September&nbsp;30, 2024) and would impact the financial expenses account in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">IFRS requires the Company to disclose revenues from external customers
for each product and service, or each group of similar products and services, unless the necessary information is not available and the
cost to develop it would be excessive. Management does not consider this information useful for its decision-making process, because it
would aggregate sales in different markets and in different currencies, subject to the effects of changes in exchange rates. Furthermore,
the trends of steel consumption and the price dynamics of each product or group of products in different countries and different markets
within these countries are poorly correlated and, as a result, the information would not be useful and would not serve to reach any conclusions
about historical trends. Considering this scenario and considering that the information of revenue from external customers by product
and service is not maintained by the Company on a consolidated basis and the cost to obtain this information would be excessive compared
to the benefits of the information, the Company does not present revenue by product and service.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The impairment test of goodwill and other long-lived assets is tested
based on the analysis and identification of facts or circumstances that may involve the need to perform the impairment test. The Company
performs impairment tests of goodwill and other long-lived assets, based on projections of discounted cash flows, which take into account
assumptions such as: cost of capital, growth rate and adjustments applied to flows in perpetuity, methodology for working capital determination,
investment plans, and long-term economic-financial forecasts.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">To determine the recoverable amount of each business segment, the Company
uses the discounted cash flow method, taking as basis, financial and economic projections for each segment. The projections are updated
to take into consideration any observed changes in the economic environment of the market in which the Company operates, as well as premises
of expected results and historical profitability of each segment.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The impairment test of goodwill allocated to the business segments
is carried out annually in December&nbsp;and it is anticipated if events or circumstances indicate that it is necessary. In the test carried
out in the year 2024, considering the new composition of the business segments disclosed in note 2.1, the Company carried out a sensitivity
analysis of the discount rate and perpetuity growth rate as well as a combination of both, given their potential impacts on cash flows,
where an increase of 0.5&nbsp;percentage points in the discount rate of each segment&rsquo;s cash flow would result in a recoverable amount
that exceeded book value as shown below: a) North America: R$ 3,642 million; b) South America: R$ 1,247 million; and c) Brazil: R$ 5,026
million. On the other hand, a decrease of 0.5&nbsp;percentage points in the perpetuity growth rate of the cash flow of each business segment
would result in a recoverable amount that exceeded book value as shown below: a) North America: R$ 4,220 million; b) South America: R$
1,326 million; and c) Brazil: R$ 5,592 million. A combination of the above-mentioned sensitivities in the cash flow of each segment would
result in a recoverable amount exceeding the book value as follows: a) North America: R$ 2,255 million; b) South America: R$ 1,149 million;
and c) Brazil: R$ 3,803 million.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company concluded that there are no indications that demand the
performance of the impairment test of goodwill and other long-lived assets for the period ended on September&nbsp;30, 2025.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company will maintain over 2025 its constant monitoring of the
steel market in order to identify any deterioration, significant drop in demand from steel consuming sectors (notably automotive and construction),
stoppage&nbsp;of industrial plants or activities relevant changes in the economy or financial market that result in increased perception
of risk or reduction of liquidity and refinancing capacity. Although the projections made by the Company provide a challenging scenario,
events that impact the economic environment and business, if manifested in a greater intensity than that anticipated in the assumptions
made by management, may lead the Company to revise its projections of value in use and eventually result in impairment losses.</P>
