**COMMERCIAL METALS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K") filed by Commercial Metals Company ("CMC," and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") with the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss), comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and stockholders' equity for the periods indicated. These notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2025 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2026 ("Form 10-Q") to the "corresponding period" relates to the relevant three or nine months ended May 31, 2025. Any reference in this Form 10-Q to a year refers to the fiscal year ended August 31st of that year, unless otherwise stated.

**Nature of Operations**

CMC is a leading provider of early-stage construction solutions that support the foundational phases of modern infrastructure and building projects. Through an extensive manufacturing network primarily located in the U.S. and Central Europe, with strategic operations in the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, CMC serves infrastructure, non-residential, residential, industrial and energy markets. While often unseen, CMC's products are essential to highways, bridges, airports, commercial buildings and other critical structures that support everyday life.

During the first quarter of 2026, CMC announced the acquisitions of Foley and CP&P (each as defined in Note 2, Acquisitions), which resulted in the creation of CMC's precast platform. With the addition of Foley and CP&P, CMC changed the name of its Emerging Businesses Group segment to Construction Solutions Group to better reflect the business composition of the segment and more closely align with the strategic priorities of CMC. The name change has no impact on the Company's reporting structure nor on financial information previously reported.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company intends to adopt this standard on a prospective basis, beginning with the annual reporting of 2026. The guidance only impacts disclosures and will not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated income statement expense disclosures related to functional or natural expense line items within continuing operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and permits either prospective or retrospective adoption. The guidance only impacts disclosures and will not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements ("ASU 2025-09"). ASU 2025-09 amends certain aspects of the existing hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815 to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods therein using prospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). ASU 2025-12 addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 eliminates accounting consideration of software project development stages and clarifies the threshold applied to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and permits prospective, modified prospective or retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"). ASU 2025-11 is intended to improve the navigability of guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods.

**Government Assistance**

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, government assistance of $20.4 million and $36.0 million, respectively, was awarded to the Company from a compensation scheme established to provide aid to energy-intensive companies to offset indirect costs of rising carbon emissions rights included in energy costs in Poland. The Company received $48.1 million of similar government assistance in the nine months ended May 31, 2025, none of which was received in the three months ended May 31, 2025. The grants were recognized in the Europe Steel Group segment and recorded as reductions to cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss). See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information on the government assistance program.

**NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS** 

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair value. In valuing certain acquired assets and liabilities, fair value estimates were determined using Level 3 inputs, including expected future cash flows and discount rates. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company's estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The results of operations of the acquired businesses are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from the applicable acquisition date. The financial statements are not retrospectively adjusted for any adjustments that occur during the allowable one-year measurement period (the "Measurement Period"). Rather, any adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the Measurement Period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, we acquired two businesses in the precast concrete industry. Precast concrete and concrete pipe products (together, the "precast platform") are construction components formed by pouring concrete into a reusable mold that contains steel reinforcement, then curing it in a controlled manufacturing environment. The component is then transported in its final form to a construction site for installation. This process produces durable, ready-to-use components of reliable quality that can be installed quickly, saving time and requiring less labor than pour-in-place techniques. The precast platform provides mission-critical applications often for site infrastructure such as utility connections, water supply and stormwater management.

The Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the entities that own Foley Products Company, LLC ("Foley" and such transaction, the "Foley Acquisition") on December 15, 2025 (the "Foley Acquisition Date"). Foley is a supplier of precast concrete solutions primarily operating across nine states within the Southeastern U.S. Foley offers products that are used in drainage, water management, dry utility and road construction applications across residential infrastructure, non-residential and infrastructure end markets. The entities that owned Foley were holding companies with no substantial operations. The total purchase price was approximately $1.84 billion, all paid in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Foley Acquisition was funded from a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes (both as defined in Note 8, Credit Arrangements) in November 2025. Operating results for Foley since the Foley Acquisition Date are included within the Company's Construction Solutions Group segment. For more information on the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes, see Note 8, Credit Arrangements.

Additionally, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Concrete Pipe and Precast, LLC ("CP&P"), a supplier of precast concrete solutions to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic markets, on December 1, 2025 (the "CP&P Acquisition Date"). The total purchase price, all paid in cash, was approximately $675 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and was funded through cash on-hand. Operating results for CP&P since the CP&P Acquisition Date are included within the Company's Construction Solutions Group segment.

See below for details regarding the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets and goodwill, as a result of these business combinations.

**Foley Acquisition**

The table below presents the preliminary fair value and measurement period adjustments that were allocated to Foley's assets and liabilities as of the Foley Acquisition Date based upon fair values as determined by the Company. Final determination of fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

---

***Inventories***

The acquired inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods and an insignificant amount of purchased products for resale. The fair value of raw materials and purchased products for resale approximates the historical carrying value and was calculated based on the estimated replacement cost. The fair value of finished goods was determined by a comparison of estimated selling prices less costs to sell and historical profits. The total purchase accounting inventory adjustment recognized during the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was $2.7 million, which was reflected as cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold.

***Property, Plant and Equipment***

The fair value of real and personal property was calculated primarily using the cost approach. The cost approach measures the value by estimating the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets and adjusts for age and condition. The Company assigned real property a useful life ranging from 2 to 38 years and assigned personal property a useful life ranging from 1 to 20 years.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets***

Goodwill from the Foley Acquisition represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The goodwill recognized in connection with the Foley Acquisition reflects the value of the acquired business's well-established operations, skilled workforce and history of disciplined execution, which are not separately identifiable or measurable. Goodwill also reflects the strategic importance of the acquired business to the Company's overall portfolio. The Company added $1.3 billion of goodwill related to the Foley Acquisition in 2026. The majority of the $1.3 billion of recognized goodwill is deductible over 15 years for tax purposes, which creates associated deferred tax balances post closing.

The acquired intangible assets consist of:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in thousands)** | **Useful Life** | **Preliminary Fair Value** |
| Customer relationships | 10 years | $140700 |
| Contract backlog | 1 year | 48500 |
| Trade name | 5 years | 5600 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total intangible assets |  | $194800 |

---

The fair value of customer relationships for precast offerings and the contract backlog were calculated using the income approach, under the multi-period excess earnings method. This method considers the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges. Customer relationships for pipe offerings were valued using the income approach, under the with-and-without method. The with-and-without method considers opportunity costs associated with lost profits in the absence of the existing customer base.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

The fair value of the trade name was calculated using the income approach, under the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method considers revenue derived from the corporate and product-specific trade names, the strength and relevance of the trade names in the marketplace and management's plans to utilize the trade names going forward.

***Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed***

The Company used historical carrying values for trade accounts receivable and payables, as well as certain other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, as their carrying values represented the fair value of those items as of the Foley Acquisition Date.

***Financial Results***

The following table summarizes the financial results of Foley from the Foley Acquisition Date through May 31, 2026, that are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of earnings and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

***Pro Forma Supplemental Information***

Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis is presented below as if the Foley Acquisition occurred on September 1, 2024. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only, based on certain factually supported estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes to be reasonable, but not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or the results that would have been reported if the Foley Acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2024. These results were not used as part of management's analysis of the financial results and performance of the Company. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect anticipated synergies, but rather include the nonrecurring impact of additional cost of sales from revalued inventory and the recurring income statement effects of fair value adjustments, such as depreciation and amortization. Further adjustments were made to remove the impact of Foley's interest expense on debt not assumed, as well as acquisition and integration expenses (note that acquisition costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses). We also included interest related to the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes that were underwritten to finance the Foley Acquisition. The resulting tax effects of the business combination are also reflected below.

| Pro forma net earnings (loss) | 180714 | 74849 | 477809 | (109929) |

---

The pro forma results presented above include, but are not limited to, the adjustments outlined in following paragraphs. An adjustment was made to remove the impact of $21.6 million of acquisition and integration expenses from the nine months ended May 31, 2026, and include this balance in the earliest period presented. Pro forma net earnings (loss) include additional interest expense associated with the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes that would have been incurred had the acquisition occurred on September 1, 2024, and was partially offset by the removal of the interest expense that Foley would not have incurred, as the acquisition included the elimination of existing Foley debt. These adjustments resulted in $23.5 million of additional interest expense in the nine months ended May 31, 2026, and $27.0 million and $75.3 million of additional interest expense in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, respectively.

The pro forma results also reflect decreased amortization expense from revalued intangible assets of $12.1 million and $18.1 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, primarily as a result of the removal of amortization expense related to the contract backlog intangible asset which has a one-year useful life, offset by increases to amortization expense from other new intangible assets previously mentioned. Amortization expense increased by $15.6 million and $46.9 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of including amortization expense related to the contract backlog intangible asset in the earliest period presented. The pro forma results for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, reflect an adjustment of $2.7 million of increased cost of goods sold as a result of the revaluation of inventory, which was removed from the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

Due to a computation error in determining the Pro forma net sales and Pro forma net earnings (loss) included in Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025 previously filed on March 31, 2026, Pro forma net sales was overstated by $75.1 million during both the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and Pro forma net earnings was overstated $5.4 million and $5.9 million in the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, respectively. We evaluated the errors and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the prior reporting periods affected. The errors had no impact on any amounts presented in a previously issued balance sheet, statement of earnings (loss) or statement of cash flows for any prior periods. The amounts presented above include the corrected pro forma net sales and pro forma net earnings for the nine months ended May 31, 2026.

**CP&P Acquisition**

The table below presents the preliminary fair value and measurement period adjustments that were allocated to CP&P's assets and liabilities as of the CP&P Acquisition Date based upon fair values as determined by the Company. Final determination of fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $676995 | $— | $676995 |

---

***Inventories***

The acquired inventory consists of raw materials, purchased products for resale and finished goods. The fair value of raw materials and purchased products for resale approximates the historical carrying value and was calculated based on the estimated replacement cost. The fair value of finished goods was determined by a comparison of estimated selling prices less costs to sell and historical profits. The total purchase accounting inventory adjustment recognized during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, was $4.0 million, which was reflected as cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold.

***Property, Plant and Equipment***

The fair value of personal property was calculated primarily using the cost approach, as defined above. No real property was acquired in the CP&P Acquisition. The Company assigned personal property a useful life ranging from 1 to 20 years.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets***

Goodwill from the CP&P Acquisition represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill recognized are consistent with the factors discussed above. The Company added $416.2 million of goodwill related to the CP&P Acquisition in 2026. The recognized goodwill for tax purposes is $584.1 million and is deductible over 15 years which created associated deferred tax balances post-closing.

The acquired intangible assets consist of:

| Trade name | 5 years | 3600 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total intangible assets |  | $125600 |

---

The fair value of customer relationships for precast offerings and the contract backlog were calculated using the income approach, under the multi-period excess earnings method. Customer relationships for pipe offerings were valued using the income approach, under the with-and-without method. The fair value of the trade name was calculated using the income approach, under the relief from royalty method. Each approach is defined above.

***Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed***

The Company used historical carrying values for trade accounts receivable and payables, as well as certain other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, as their carrying values represented the fair value of those items as of the CP&P Acquisition Date. Other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities primarily relate to lease balances that are further discussed in Note 7, Leases.

***Financial Results***

**NOTE 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION** 

The majority of the Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time, concurrent with the transfer of control, which usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. See Note 15, Segment Information, for more information about disaggregated revenue by the Company's major product lines.

Certain revenue resulting from sales of downstream products in the North America Steel Group segment is recognized over time, as discussed below. Remaining revenue from sales of other downstream products in the North America Steel Group segment is recognized based on the amount the Company has a right to invoice as a practical expedient.

Each of the North America Steel Group segment's fabrication contracts represents a single performance obligation. Revenue from certain fabrication contracts for which the Company provides downstream products and installation services is recognized over time using an input measure, and represented 6% and 8% of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, and represented 7% of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025. Revenue from fabrication contracts for which the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure, and represented 9% of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, and 10% of net sales in the North America Steel Group segment in each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025.

The following table provides information about assets and liabilities from contracts with customers:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in thousands)** | **May 31, 2026** | **August 31, 2025** |
| Contract assets (included in accounts receivable) | $85298 | $108570 |
| Contract liabilities (included in other accrued expenses and payables) | 21281 | 21631 |

---

The entire contract liability as of August 31, 2025 was recognized in net sales as of May 31, 2026.

**Remaining Performance Obligations**

As of May 31, 2026, revenue totaling $845.7 million was allocated to remaining performance obligations in the North America Steel Group segment related to certain fabrication contracts for which revenue is recognized using input or output measures, as described above.

The fair value of the Level 3 commodity derivatives is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models that rely on significant unobservable inputs. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices (the "floating rate"), which is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow models. Significant variations in the floating rate could materially impact the fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the range of floating rates used to measure the fair value of the Level 3 commodity derivatives as of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, which are applied uniformly across each of the Company's Level 3 commodity derivatives:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Floating rate (PLN)** | **Floating rate (PLN)** | **Floating rate (PLN)** |
| | **Low** | **High** | **Average** |
| May 31, 2026 | 346 | 628 | 452 |
| August 31, 2025 | 346 | 563 | 436 |

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivatives recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Amounts presented are before income taxes. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and was the primary reason for unrealized gains and losses in OCI for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(1) Unrealized holding gain (loss), net of foreign currency translation, less amounts reclassified, are included in net unrealized holding gain (loss) on derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

(2) Realized gains included in net earnings (loss) are recorded in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

There were no material non-recurring fair value remeasurements during the three or nine months ended May 31, 2026 or 2025.

The carrying values of the Company's short-term items, including documentary letters of credit and notes payable, approximate fair value.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, excluding other borrowings and finance leases, was $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, as of May 31, 2026, and $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, as of August 31, 2025. The fair values were estimated based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using indicated market values. The Company's other borrowings contain variable interest rates, so their carrying values approximate fair values.

**NOTE 11. INCOME TAX**

The Company's effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 were 8.4% and 7.9%, respectively, compared to the 24.1% and 21.7% in the corresponding periods. The effective tax rate is determined by computing the estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the appropriate period. The Company's effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the mix and amount of global earnings, the impact of loss companies for which no tax benefit is available due to valuation allowances, income tax credits, and the impact of permanent tax adjustments.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

On January 10, 2025, the Company was awarded a Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit in connection with the construction of the West Virginia micro mill under section 48C of the Internal Revenue Code. The amount awarded is a non-refundable transferable investment tax credit allocation equal to 30% of qualified expenditures for certified projects that meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. The Company elected to account for its non-refundable transferable investment tax credits under ASC 740 using the flow-through method. Under the flow-through method, the credit is recognized in the fiscal year that the qualifying assets are placed in service, which is currently expected to occur upon commissioning of the West Virginia micro mill during 2026. The Company intends to utilize the credit beginning with its 2026 tax return and has included the estimated impact in the financial statements beginning in 2026. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $34.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively, in income tax benefit related to the credit. No impact was recognized in the corresponding periods.

**Income Tax Examination**

The Company is subject to examination of certain income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). On March 3, 2026, the IRS notified the Company that the fiscal 2024 federal income tax return had been selected for examination. The audit commenced in May. As of May 31, 2026, there were no known or estimable adjustments to the year's taxable income outside of positions previously reserved. As such, no additional reserves were recorded. The Company will continue to evaluate developments in the examination and adjust its reserves, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.

**NOTE 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS** 

The Company's stock-based compensation plans are described in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation Plans, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K. In general, restricted stock units awarded to executive officers and other employees vest ratably over a period of three years. Subject to the achievement of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), performance stock units vest after a period of three years.

Information for restricted stock units and performance stock units accounted for as equity awards during the nine months ended May 31, 2026 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Shares** | **Weighted Average<br>Fair Value** |
| Outstanding as of August 31, 2025 | 1369205 | $50.37 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (768951) | 48.40 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (75767) | 58.31 |
| Outstanding as of May 31, 2026 | 1294520 | $59.12 |

---

The Company granted 107,771 equivalent shares in the form of restricted stock units and performance stock units accounted for as liability awards during the nine months ended May 31, 2026. As of May 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding 256,100 equivalent shares accounted for under the liability method. The Company expects 247,059 equivalent shares to vest.

Total stock-based compensation expense, including fair value remeasurements, which was primarily included in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss), was $11.4 million and $37.4 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, and was $9.5 million and $27.8 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, respectively.

**NOTE 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE** 

The Company's calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS is described in Note 16, Earnings Per Share, to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended May 31,** | **Three Months Ended May 31,** | **Nine Months Ended May 31,** | **Nine Months Ended May 31,** |
|<br>**(in thousands, except share and per share data)** | **2026** | **2025** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net earnings (loss) | $173015 | $83126 | $443329 | $(67119) |
| Average basic shares outstanding | 110845841 | 112700136 | 110955940 | 113437950 |
| Effect of dilutive securities | 869039 | 859320 | 1023550 |  |
| Average diluted shares outstanding | 111714880 | 113559456 | 111979490 | 113437950 |
| Earnings (loss) per share: |  |  |  |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | 1.55 | 0.73 | 3.96 | (0.59) |

---

For all periods presented except for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company had immaterial anti-dilutive shares, which were not included in the computation of average diluted shares outstanding. For the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company had 1,134,029 shares that were excluded from the computation of average diluted shares outstanding due to the Company's net loss position.

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 283,335 and 1,195,709 shares of CMC common stock, respectively, at an average purchase price of $66.72 and $63.65 per share, respectively. Under the share repurchase program, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase $128.9 million of shares of CMC common stock as of May 31, 2026. See Note 15, Capital Stock, to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information on the share repurchase program.

**NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** 

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters.

**Legal Proceedings**

On October 30, 2020, plaintiff Pacific Steel Group ("PSG") filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Northern District Court") alleging that CMC, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC violated the federal and California state antitrust laws and California common law by entering into an exclusivity agreement for certain steel mill equipment manufactured by one of the Company's equipment suppliers. On November 5, 2024, a jury returned a verdict in favor of PSG in the amount of $110.0 million, which the Northern District Court, in entering its judgment on the verdict, subsequently trebled as a matter of law. PSG is also entitled to petition for and recover its attorneys' fees, costs and post-judgment interest. On December 20, 2024, CMC, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC filed a motion with the Northern District Court challenging the jury's verdict and requesting a new trial. On September 29, 2025, the Northern District Court denied this post-trial motion, upholding the jury's verdict. The Company is confident it conducted its business appropriately and intends to vigorously pursue all reasonably available avenues to have the verdict and judgment overturned. On October 24, 2025, the Company filed its notice of appeal. As a trial judgment in favor of PSG was rendered, it was determined that there was a probable and reasonably estimable loss, which was recorded as an expense within the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company reported $358.5 million of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of loss, which represents the Company's estimate based on its understanding of the PSG judgment, PSG's attorneys' fees and other related costs, including post-judgment interest. In the nine months ended May 31, 2026, the Company reported $11.6 million of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, which primarily represents the Company's estimate of post-judgment interest on the PSG judgment. These amounts were classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because the timing of the potential payment is uncertain. All other legal expenses for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 are reported within SG&A

------

expenses. If the verdict and judgment are overturned through the appeals process, the expenses and related liability will be reversed in the same period the verdict and judgment are overturned. The Company's litigation defense costs are expensed as incurred. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing a reversal of the jury's verdict and the judgment, the ultimate resolution is uncertain. Unless the verdict and judgment are overturned or the judgment is significantly reduced, the cash payments incurred in connection with this litigation could have a significant impact on our liquidity.

On March 13, 2022, PSG filed a second suit in the San Diego County Superior Court of California alleging that CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc., CMC Steel US, LLC, and CMC Rebar West (which later merged into CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc.) violated California state antitrust and unfair competition laws by bidding below their costs for rebar furnish-and-install projects in California in order to hamper PSG's ability to win jobs and reduce PSG's profitability. These allegations were initially brought in PSG's lawsuit in the Northern District Court, but were dismissed without prejudice by the Northern District Court for lack of jurisdiction. This second lawsuit was later removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (the "Southern District Court"). There, PSG seeks, among other things, a jury trial on its claims in addition to injunctive relief, compensatory damages of approximately $29 million for alleged lost profits, part of which is subject to automatic trebling pursuant to applicable law, plus pre-judgment interest, fees and costs. Fact and expert discovery are substantially complete. On November 12, 2024, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc., CMC Steel US, LLC and CMC Rebar West filed a motion for summary judgment, which was subsequently denied on September 29, 2025. This ruling does not represent a determination on the merits of the case. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, no trial has been scheduled. The Company is confident it conducted its business appropriately, believes it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against PSG's claims. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, and it cannot estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution to this matter could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

**Other Matters**

At May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the amounts accrued for cleanup and remediation costs at certain sites in response to notices, actions and agreements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") and analogous state and local statutes were immaterial. Total accrued environmental liabilities, including CERCLA sites, were $3.3 million and $3.4 million at May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, respectively, of which $1.9 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in both periods. These amounts have not been discounted to their present values. Due to evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process and other factors, accrued amounts could vary significantly from amounts paid.

**NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION** 

The Company's operating segments engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the underlying operational performance of the Company's reportable segments and to guide strategic decisions aligned with Company-wide objectives, as it provides a consistent and comparable view of operating results across segments. In doing so, the CODM considers the performance of this measure relative to historical, planned and forecasted financial information when making decisions about capital and personnel allocation.

Adjusted EBITDA is equal to earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment expense and unrealized gains and losses on undesignated commodity hedges.

The Company structures its business into three reportable segments: North America Steel Group, Construction Solutions Group and Europe Steel Group. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies herein as well as in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information about the reportable segments, including the types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its net sales. Corporate and Other contains earnings or losses on assets and liabilities related to the Company's benefit restoration plan assets and short-term investments, expenses of the Company's corporate headquarters, litigation-related expenses, interest expense related to long-term debt and intercompany eliminations. Certain corporate administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based upon the nature of the expense.

**BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS**

**Senior Notes Activity** 

In November 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of 5.750% senior unsecured notes due November 2033 (the "2033 Notes") and $1.0 billion of 6.000% senior unsecured notes due December 2035 (the "2035 Notes"). We will make semiannual interest payments on the outstanding principal of the 2033 Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The first such interest payment was made on May 15, 2026. We will make semiannual interest payments on the outstanding principal of the 2035 Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year, with the first such interest payment paid on June 15, 2026. Gross proceeds from the issuance of the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes were used to facilitate the closing of the Foley Acquisition (as defined below). Aggregate fees and issuance costs, including rating agency, legal, and other fees, associated with the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes were immaterial for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and were $21.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2026.

**Foley Acquisition**

On December 15, 2025, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the holding companies that own Foley Products Company, LLC ("Foley" and such transaction, the "Foley Acquisition"), one of the largest regional suppliers of precast concrete solutions in the U.S. and a leader within the Southeastern U.S. Operating results for Foley are included within the Construction Solutions Group segment. The Foley Acquisition aligns with our strategy to pursue inorganic growth by adding scale, margin strength and regional leadership to our precast platform.

**CP&P Acquisition**

On December 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Concrete Pipe and Precast, LLC ("CP&P" and such transaction, the "CP&P Acquisition"), a leading supplier of precast concrete solutions to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic markets. Operating results for CP&P are included within the Construction Solutions Group segment. The CP&P Acquisition aligns with our strategy to pursue inorganic growth by expanding CMC's portfolio of early-stage construction solutions through the addition of precast capabilities.

For more information on the Foley Acquisition and the CP&P Acquisition, refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

**Third Amendment to Credit Agreement**

On December 17, 2025, we entered into the Third Amendment and Commitment Increase to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"), which increased the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $1.0 billion and extended the maturity date to December 17, 2030.

**Capital Expenditures**

We are currently constructing our fourth micro mill, located in Berkeley County, West Virginia. This facility is strategically located to serve the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Western U.S. markets and will be supported by our existing network of downstream fabrication plants. Construction of structural components for multiple process buildings is substantially complete and equipment installation is ongoing. Several key milestones for utility infrastructure have been reached. We expect to begin production at this micro mill during 2026.

**Macroeconomic Trends and Uncertainties** 

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

We are subject to risks and exposures from the evolving macroeconomic environment, including uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, efforts of governments to stimulate or stabilize economies and other changes in economic conditions, such as an increase in trade tensions and related tariffs with U.S. trading partners. On February 10, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order re-imposing Section 232's 25% tariffs on steel imports from all sources, effective March 12, 2025, ending country and product exemptions, and broadening the application of the tariffs to fabricated steel products. Effective June 4, 2025, the tariffs on steel imports were increased to 50% for all countries other than the United Kingdom, which continues to be subject to 25% tariffs.

Although the elimination of Section 232 tariff exemptions has provided a favorable backdrop to the domestic long steel market, there remains uncertainty regarding the duration and scope of this and other potential executive actions related to tariffs. If the Section 232 or other import tariffs, quotas or duties are relaxed, repealed, challenged legally or expire; if other countries are exempted, or if relatively higher U.S. steel prices make it attractive for foreign steelmakers to export their steel products to the U.S., despite the presence of import tariffs, quotas or duties, a resurgence of substantial imports of foreign steel could occur. This would put downward pressure on U.S. steel prices.

Recent developments illustrate how these risks may materialize. Countries such as Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt and Vietnam have also increased their steel exports, particularly of rebar, to the U.S. Further, excess capacity has also led to greater protectionism as is evident in raw material and finished product border tariffs put in place by China, Brazil and other countries. In response to these pressures, in June 2025, the Rebar Trade Action Coalition, which consists of several U.S. steel producers including CMC, filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce (the "DOC") and the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") alleging that exporters of steel concrete reinforcing bar from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt and Vietnam are dumping material into the U.S. market at prices below fair value, and that producers of rebar in Algeria, Egypt and Vietnam are benefitting from countervailable government subsidies. The petitions seek the imposition of significant antidumping and countervailing duties on rebar imports from these countries. In July 2025, the ITC preliminarily determined that there was a reasonable indication of material injury to the U.S. domestic rebar industry, and thus the DOC's investigations were authorized to continue. The DOC subsequently issued preliminary affirmative determinations that the subject rebar had been sold in the U.S. at less than fair value in December 2025 with respect to Algeria and in March 2026 with respect to Bulgaria, Egypt and Vietnam. Additionally, the DOC determined in January 2026 that producers in Algeria, Egypt and Vietnam had received countervailable subsidies. In March 2026, the DOC issued final affirmative determinations with respect to Algeria, concluding that Algerian rebar had been dumped at a margin of 127.32% and had benefitted from countervailable subsidies at a rate of 72.94%. In April 2026, the ITC made a final affirmative determination of material injury with respect to dumped imports of rebar from Algeria, clearing the way for the DOC to issue an antidumping duty order on rebar from Algeria. The DOC's final determinations in the antidumping investigations of Bulgaria, Egypt and Vietnam, and in the countervailing duty investigations of Egypt and Vietnam, are expected later in calendar 2026, with the ITC's corresponding final injury determinations to follow. If affirmative final injury determinations are made by the ITC, the DOC will assess antidumping and/or countervailing duties on the subject steel concrete reinforcing bar.

From a longer-term perspective on demand, tariffs represent one component of broader economic and trade policies that may influence domestic investment and construction activity. However, the timing, magnitude and sustainability of any tariff impacts on demand remain uncertain. With regards to operating costs, we anticipate the direct impact of tariffs to be modest, as we source primarily from domestic suppliers, though, indirect effects from market pricing and supply dynamics remain uncertain. We also anticipate the impact on capital costs to be modest.

We have not yet experienced any material, direct impacts from the war in Iran. However, we have seen increases in fuel costs, energy costs in Europe have increased, and the broader geopolitical environment may result in demand variability and cost inflation. The Company continues to evaluate potential impacts, which will depend on the duration and severity of the conflict.

**Tax Legislation Updates**

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted into law, introducing significant amendments to U.S. tax legislation with varying effective dates. Key provisions that impact CMC include the expansion of bonus depreciation, accelerated expensing of research and development costs and revisions to international tax regimes. We have incorporated these amendments into our 2026 tax provision, as applicable.

On January 10, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service awarded CMC with a Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 48C) based on qualifying expenditures related to the construction of the West Virginia micro mill. We plan on utilizing the credit beginning with our 2026 tax return and have included the estimated impact in the financial statements beginning in 2026.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

See section entitled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Form 10-K for further discussion related to the above business conditions and developments.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY** 

**Business Overview**

CMC is a leading provider of early-stage construction solutions that support the foundational phases of modern infrastructure and building projects. Through an extensive manufacturing network primarily located in the U.S. and Central Europe, with strategic operations in the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, CMC serves infrastructure, non-residential, residential, industrial and energy markets. While often unseen, CMC's products are essential to highways, bridges, airports, commercial buildings and other critical structures that support everyday life. Our operations are conducted through three reportable segments: North America Steel Group, Construction Solutions Group and Europe Steel Group.

During the first quarter of 2026, we announced the acquisitions of Foley and CP&P, which resulted in the creation of our precast platform. As a result, we changed the name of our Emerging Businesses Group segment to Construction Solutions Group to better reflect the business composition of the segment and more closely align with the strategic priorities of CMC. The name change has no impact on our reporting structure nor on financial information previously reported.

**Key Performance Indicators**

When evaluating our results, we compare net sales, in the aggregate and for each of our reportable segments, in the current period to net sales in the corresponding period. For the North America Steel Group and the Europe Steel Group segments, we focus on changes in average selling price per ton and tons shipped compared to the corresponding period for each of our vertically integrated product categories as these are the two variables that typically have the greatest impact on our net sales for those reportable segments. Of the products evaluated by changes in average selling price per ton and tons shipped within the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments, raw materials include ferrous and nonferrous scrap, steel products include rebar, merchant bar, light structural and other steel products, such as billets and wire rod, and downstream products include fabricated rebar, steel fence posts and wire mesh. Evaluations of average selling price per ton and tons shipped for downstream products exclude post-tension cable, which is not measured on a per ton basis.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to compare and evaluate the period-over-period underlying business operational performance of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment expense and unrealized gains and losses on undesignated commodity hedges.

Although there are many factors that can impact a segment's adjusted EBITDA and, therefore, our overall earnings or losses, changes in metal margins of our steel products and downstream products period-over-period in the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments are a consistent area of focus for our Company and industry. Metal margin is a metric used by management to monitor the results of our vertically integrated organization. For our steel products, metal margin is the difference between the average selling price per ton of rebar, merchant bar and other steel products and the cost of ferrous scrap per ton utilized by our steel mills to produce these products. The metal margin for the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments' downstream products is the difference between the average selling price per ton of our downstream products and the scrap input costs to produce these products. An increase or decrease in input costs can impact profitability of steel products and downstream products when there is no corresponding change in selling prices. The majority of the North America Steel Group and Europe Steel Group segments' downstream products selling prices per ton are fixed at the beginning of a project and these projects last one to two years on average. The selling price generally remains fixed over the life of a project; therefore, changes in input costs over the life of the project can significantly impact profitability.

The change in net earnings in the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period, was primarily due to expansion in steel products metal margins within our North America Steel Group segment, changes to the timing of payments from government assistance programs in Europe and the inclusion of the precast platform in current year results, offset by increases in interest expense and employee-related costs. The year-over-year increase in net earnings in the nine months ended May 31, 2026, was primarily due to litigation-related expense of approximately $271.0 million, net of estimated tax, associated with a contingent litigation-related loss recognized in the nine months ended May 31, 2025, resulting in a net loss in the corresponding period, coupled with metal margin expansion in the nine months ended May 31, 2026, within our North America Steel Group segment. These effects were partially offset by higher interest expense.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses**

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $46.5 million and $129.9 million during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The increases were primarily driven by employee-related costs which increased by $33.0 million and $70.7 million, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods as a result of increased headcount from the acquired precast platform, as well as higher variable incentive compensation costs. Further, transaction expenses of $2.5 million and $36.5 million related to the acquired precast platform were incurred during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, with no such expenses in the corresponding periods. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.9 million and $9.3 million, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, primarily as a result of the inclusion of new intangible assets from the acquired precast platform. Information technology costs increased by $2.4 million and $8.5 million, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding period, as a result of a planned upgrade to our enterprise resource planning system as well as an ongoing project to optimize our customer relationship management platform.

**Interest Expense**

Interest expense increased by $29.3 million and $72.6 million during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods due to the issuance of the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes in conjunction with the Foley Acquisition as discussed in Note 8, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

**Litigation Expense**

Litigation expense related to the Pacific Steel Group ("PSG") litigation of $3.8 million and $11.6 million were recorded during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to $3.8 million and $358.5 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, respectively. The amount recorded during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, reflects interest on the judgment amount. For more information about the contingent litigation-related loss, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

**Income Taxes**

The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 were 8.4% and 7.9%, respectively, compared to 24.1% and 21.7% in the corresponding periods. The decrease for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods, is primarily due to the recognition of a federal investment tax credit related to the ongoing construction of the West Virginia micro mill, with commissioning currently expected during 2026. For more information, see Note 11, Income Tax in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

Net sales to external customers in our North America Steel Group segment increased $227.1 million, or 15%, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, and increased $591.0 million, or 13%, during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods. The year-over-year increases were due to 15% and 17% higher steel products average selling price per ton during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively. In addition, net sales to external customers was impacted by increases in external tons shipped in both raw materials and downstream products which increased by 25% and 8%, respectively, for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and 18% and 6%, respectively, for the nine months ended May 31, 2026. These impacts were partially offset by decreases in steel products external tons shipped of 6% and 3% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, primarily due to weather delays in key markets and planned maintenance outages across a number of mill operations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $73.6 million, or 41%, and increased $314.0 million, or 62%, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The increases in adjusted EBITDA during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods, were primarily due to expansion in steel products metal margin per ton, which increased 22% and 27%, respectively, offset by increased maintenance costs related to the outages discussed above.

Net sales to external customers in our Construction Solutions Group segment increased $197.1 million, or 100%, and increased $381.5 million, or 73%, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. The increase during the three months ended May 31, 2026 was primarily driven by $175.7 million of net sales to external customers due to the acquired precast platform that was not part of the corresponding period results. In addition, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, net sales to external customers from our Tensar division and CMC Construction Services' operations increased $17.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding period, due to higher demand. The increase during the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was also primarily a result of the acquired precast platform which contributed $320.3 million in net sales to external customers that was not part of the corresponding period. This was in addition to $35.3 million and $26.8 million increases in net sales to external customers from our Tensar Division and CMC Construction Services, respectively, compared to the corresponding period, due to higher demand.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $56.5 million, or 138%, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, and increased $103.3 million, or 119%, during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods. These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of the acquired precast platform which contributed $52.9 million and $86.5 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA within our Tensar Division increased by $10.8 million and $28.1 million, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods, due to higher demand as mentioned above.

Net sales to external customers in our Europe Steel Group segment increased $43.6 million, or 18%, and increased $83.9 million, or 13%, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, net sales to external customers increased in part due to a 5% increase in the steel products average selling price per ton, which was amplified by a 12% increase in tons shipped, compared to the corresponding period. The increase in tons shipped was primarily due to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ("CBAM") policy which took effect at the start of the calendar year and has improved market conditions for domestic producers. The increase for the nine months ended May 31, 2026, was primarily a result of a 5% increase in the steel products average selling price per ton as well as a 7% increase in steel products tons shipped, compared to the corresponding period. On average, compared to the Polish zloty, the U.S. dollar was weaker during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period. The effect of foreign currency translation on net sales to external customers was an increase of approximately $12.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and an increase of approximately $54.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $31.1 million, or 865%, and increased $14.0 million, or 46%, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by changes to the timing of payments from a government assistance program established to offset the indirect costs of rising carbon emissions rights included in energy costs in Poland. We received $20.4 million in payments from this program during the three months ended May 31, 2026 compared to none in the corresponding period. In addition, steel products metal margins increased by 13% during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, $36.0 million was received through the aforementioned government assistance program, compared to $48.1 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2025. However, this decrease in government assistance was more than offset by steel products metal margin expansion of 14%, during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period. The effect of foreign currency translation on adjusted EBITDA was immaterial for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026.

Corporate and Other adjusted EBITDA loss increased $12.7 million, or 34%, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, and decreased $282.1 million, or 62%, during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods. The adjusted EBITDA loss includes the recognition of $2.5 million and $36.5 million of acquisition and integration related costs related to the Foley Acquisition and the CP&P Acquisition, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively. Further, variable incentive compensation costs increased by $8.1 million and $24.3 million during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods. Additionally, costs related to information technology increased by $2.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods. This increase was a result of a planned upgrade to our enterprise resource planning system.

The year-over-year increase in expenses described above was offset by a $358.5 million contingent litigation-related loss related to the PSG litigation recognized during the nine months ended May 31, 2025. For more information about the contingent litigation-related loss, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES** 

**Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our cash flows from operating activities are our principal sources of liquidity and result primarily from sales of products offered by the vertically integrated operations in the North America Steel Group and the Europe Steel Group segments, and products and solutions offered by our Construction Solutions Group segment and related materials and services, as described in Part I, Item 1, Business, of our 2025 Form 10-K.

We have a diverse and generally stable customer base, and regularly maintain a substantial amount of accounts receivable. We actively monitor our accounts receivable and, based on market conditions and customers' financial condition, record allowances when we believe accounts are uncollectible. We use credit insurance internationally to mitigate the risk of customer insolvency. We estimate that the amount of credit-insured or financially assured receivables was approximately 14% of total receivables at May 31, 2026.

We use futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risks from fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and natural gas, electricity and other energy prices. See Note 9, Derivatives, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for further information.

(1) We believe we have access to additional financing and refinancing, if needed, although we can make no assurances as to the form or terms of such financing.

(2) In December 2025, we entered into the Third Amendment, which increased the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $1.0 billion.

We continually review our capital resources to determine whether we can meet our short and long-term goals. For at least the next twelve months, we anticipate our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to maintain operations, make necessary capital expenditures, pay for litigation-related expenses, complete the investment in our fourth micro mill, pay dividends and opportunistically repurchase shares. Additionally, we expect our long-term liquidity position will be sufficient to meet our long-term liquidity needs with cash flows from operations and financing arrangements. However, in the event of changes in business conditions or other developments, including a sustained market deterioration, unanticipated regulatory or legal developments, competitive pressures, or to the extent our liquidity needs prove to be greater than expected or cash generated from operations is less than anticipated, we may need additional liquidity. To the extent we elect to finance our long-term liquidity needs, we believe that the potential financing capital available to us in the future will be sufficient.

We aim to execute a capital allocation strategy that prioritizes both value-accretive growth and competitive cash returns to stockholders. We estimate that our 2026 capital spending will be approximately $550 million, driven by the construction costs for facilities located in Berkeley County, West Virginia. We regularly assess our capital spending based on current and expected results and the amount is subject to change.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased $76.1 million and $148.9 million, respectively, of shares of CMC common stock. Under the share repurchase program, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $128.9 million of shares of CMC common stock at May 31, 2026. See Note 13, Stockholders' Equity and Earnings (Loss) per Share, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q, and Note 15, Capital Stock, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information on the share repurchase program.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid $62.1 million and $61.3 million, respectively, of cash dividends to our stockholders.

Our credit arrangements require compliance with certain non-financial and financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio and a debt to capitalization ratio. At May 31, 2026, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants contained in our credit arrangements.

As of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

As described above under "Business Conditions and Developments," we completed the Foley Acquisition and the CP&P Acquisition in December 2025. The Foley Acquisition was funded through a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes, and the CP&P Acquisition was funded with cash on hand.

As described in Part I, Item 1, Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q, on November 5, 2024, a jury returned a verdict in favor of PSG in the amount of $110.0 million, which the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

California (the "Northern District Court"), in entering its judgment on the verdict, subsequently trebled as a matter of law. PSG is also entitled to petition for and recover its attorneys' fees, costs and post-judgment interest. We are confident that we conducted our business appropriately and intend to vigorously pursue all reasonably available avenues to have the verdict and judgment overturned. Unless the verdict and judgment are overturned or the judgment is significantly reduced, the cash payments incurred in connection with this litigation could have a significant impact on our liquidity.

**Cash Flows**

*Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities*

During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a $135.7 million decrease in cash from operating activities, compared to the corresponding period. The decrease was primarily due to a $116.8 million increase in cash used by inventories, reflecting higher materials costs. This was combined with a $109.8 million year-over-year decrease in cash from accounts receivable, primarily driven by increases in selling prices for our products, as well as a $8.6 million increase in cash used by other assets and liabilities due to new leases as described in Note 7, Leases, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q. Offsetting these was an $124.4 million increase in cash from accounts payable which is primarily a function of higher inventory costs within North America Steel Group, as well as the precast platform which was not included in the corresponding period.

*Acquisitions*

As previously discussed, we purchased Foley and CP&P during the second quarter and have recognized cash outflows, net of cash acquired, of $2.52 billion related to these transactions. See Note 2, Acquisitions, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q, for more information.

*Capital Investments*

Capital expenditures increased $110.4 million year-over-year for the nine months ended May 31, 2026, primarily driven by the construction of our fourth micro mill, in West Virginia.

*2033 Notes and 2035 Notes* 

For the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we received proceeds of $2.0 billion, presented net of $15.0 million of related fees, for net proceeds of $1.985 billion from the issuance of the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes. Aggregate fees and issuance costs associated with the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes were approximately $21.3 million. See Note 8, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information regarding the 2033 Notes and the 2035 Notes.

*Share Repurchases*

For the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we repurchased $76.1 million of CMC common stock under our share repurchase program, representing a decrease of $72.7 million compared to the corresponding period. See Note 13, Stockholders' Equity and Earnings (Loss) per Share, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q, and Note 15, Capital Stock, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, for more information on the share repurchase program.

**CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS**

Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations primarily consist of obligations for long-term debt and related interest, leases for properties and equipment, construction of our fourth micro mill and other purchase obligations as part of normal operations. See Note 8, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information regarding scheduled maturities of our long-term debt. See Note 7, Leases, in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on leases. Interest payable on our long-term debt due in the twelve months following May 31, 2026, is $170.9 million, and $1.2 billion is due thereafter.

As of May 31, 2026, our undiscounted purchase obligations were approximately $780 million due in the next twelve months and $330 million due thereafter under purchase orders and "take or pay" arrangements. These purchase obligations include all enforceable, legally binding agreements to purchase goods or services that specify all significant terms, regardless of the duration of the agreement, and exclude agreements with variable terms for which we are unable to estimate the minimum amounts. The "take or pay" arrangements are multi-year commitments with minimum annual purchase requirements and are entered into primarily for purchases of commodities used in operations such as electrodes and natural gas.

Of the purchase obligations due within the twelve months following May 31, 2026, approximately 29% were for consumable production inputs, such as alloys, 16% were for the construction of our fourth micro mill, 16% were for commodities and 13% were for capital expenditures in connection with normal business operations. Of the purchase obligations due thereafter, 62%

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icf6cb89853194d4bb4df81480eb9cd0a_7)</u>

were for commodities and 22% were for investments in information technology. The remainder of the purchase obligations are for goods and services in the normal course of business.

**Other Commercial Commitments** 

We maintain stand-by letters of credit to provide support for certain transactions that governmental agencies, our insurance providers and suppliers require. At May 31, 2026, we had committed $46.3 million under these arrangements, of which $1.0 million reduced availability under the Revolver (as defined in Note 8, Credit Arrangements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q).

**CONTINGENCIES** 

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters. We have in the past, and may in the future, incur settlements, fines, penalties or judgments in connection with some of these matters. Liabilities and costs associated with litigation-related loss contingencies require estimates and judgments based on our knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding each matter and the advice of our legal counsel. We record liabilities for litigation-related losses when a loss is probable, and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. In the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company reported $358.5 million of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of loss, which represents the Company's estimate based on its understanding of the PSG judgment, PSG's attorneys' fees and other related costs, including post-judgment interest. In the nine months ended May 31, 2026, the Company reported $11.6 million of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, which primarily represents the Company's estimate of post-judgment interest on the PSG judgment. These amounts were classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because the timing of the potential payment is uncertain. We evaluate the measurement of recorded liabilities each reporting period based on the current facts and circumstances specific to each matter. The ultimate losses incurred upon final resolution of litigation-related loss contingencies may differ materially from the estimated liability recorded at a particular balance sheet date. Changes in estimates are recorded in earnings in the period in which such changes occur. See Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q for more information on pending litigation and other matters.

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

This Form 10-Q contains or incorporates by reference a number of "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the expected performance of our recently acquired precast platform, general economic conditions, key macro-economic drivers that impact our business, the effects of ongoing trade actions, the effects of continued pressure on the liquidity of our customers, potential synergies and growth provided by acquisitions and strategic investments, demand for our products, shipment volumes, metal margins, backlog volumes, the ability to operate our steel mills at full capacity, particularly during periods of domestic mill start-ups, the future availability and cost of supplies of raw materials and energy for our operations, growth rates in certain reportable segments, product margins within our Construction Solutions Group segment, share repurchases, legal proceedings, construction activity, international trade, the impact of geopolitical conditions, the effects of CBAM and other EU trade measures on European demand and pricing, capital expenditures, tax credits, the timing, amount and recurrence of CO2 or emissions-related credits, our liquidity and our ability to satisfy future liquidity requirements, our ability to achieve our stated deleveraging target within the anticipated timeframe, estimated contractual obligations, the expected capabilities and benefits of new facilities, the anticipated benefits and timeline for execution of our growth plan and initiatives, including our TAG operational and commercial excellence program, and our expectations or beliefs concerning future events.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK** 

As of May 31, 2026, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's total gross foreign currency exchange contract commitments increased $44.4 million, or 16%, compared to August 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to forward contracts denominated in the Euro with a Polish zloty functional currency, which increased $20.9 million as of May 31, 2026, compared to August 31, 2025, as well as forward contracts denominated in the Polish zloty with a U.S. dollar functional currency, which increased $19.0 million as of May 31, 2026, compared to August 31, 2025.

As of May 31, 2026, the Company's total commodity contract commitments increased $71.5 million, or 16%, compared to August 31, 2025, primarily due to a $93.7 million increase related to copper commodity commitments, partially offset by a $21.6 million decrease related to electricity commodity commitments.

There have been no other material changes to the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES** 

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, and they have concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION** 

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS** 

On October 30, 2020, plaintiff Pacific Steel Group ("PSG") filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Northern District Court") alleging that CMC, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC violated the federal and California state antitrust laws and California common law by entering into an exclusivity agreement for certain steel mill equipment manufactured by one of our equipment suppliers. On November 5, 2024, a jury returned a verdict in favor of PSG in the amount of $110.0 million, which the Northern District Court, in entering its judgment on the verdict, subsequently trebled as a matter of law. PSG is also entitled to petition for and recover its attorneys' fees, costs and post-judgment interest. On December 20, 2024, CMC, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and CMC Steel US, LLC filed a motion with the Northern District Court challenging the jury's verdict and requesting a new trial. On September 29, 2025, the Northern District Court denied this post-trial motion, upholding the jury's verdict. We are confident we conducted our business appropriately and intend to vigorously pursue all reasonably available avenues to have the verdict and judgment overturned. On October 24, 2025, the Company filed its notice of appeal. As a trial judgment in favor of PSG was rendered, it was determined that there was a probable and reasonably estimable loss, which was recorded as an expense within the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the nine months ended May 31, 2025, we reported $358.5 million, of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of loss, which represents the Company's estimates based on its understanding of the PSG judgment, PSG's attorneys' fees and other related costs, including post-judgment interest. In the nine months ended May 31, 2026 we reported $11.6 million of litigation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, which primarily represents the Company's estimate of post-judgment interest on the PSG judgment. These amounts were classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because the timing of the potential payment is uncertain. All other legal expenses for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 are reported within SG&A expenses. If the verdict and judgment are overturned through the appeals process, the expenses and related liability will be reversed in the same period the verdict and judgment are overturned. Our litigation defense costs are expensed as incurred. Although we are vigorously pursuing a reversal of the jury's verdict and the judgment, the ultimate resolution is uncertain. Unless the verdict and judgment are overturned or the judgment is significantly reduced, the cash payments incurred in connection with the litigation could have a significant impact on our liquidity.

On March 13, 2022, PSG filed a second suit in the San Diego County Superior Court of California alleging that CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc., CMC Steel US, LLC, and CMC Rebar West (which later merged into CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc.) violated California state antitrust and unfair competition laws by bidding below their costs for rebar furnish-and-install projects in California in order to hamper PSG's ability to win jobs and reduce PSG's profitability. These allegations were initially brought in PSG's lawsuit in the Northern District Court, but were dismissed without prejudice by the Northern District Court for lack of jurisdiction. This second lawsuit was later removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. There, PSG seeks, among other things, a jury trial on its claims in addition to injunctive relief, compensatory damages of approximately $29 million for alleged lost profits, part of which is subject to automatic trebling pursuant to applicable law, plus pre-judgment interest, fees and costs. Fact and expert discovery are substantially complete. On November 12, 2024, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc., CMC Steel US, LLC and CMC Rebar West filed a motion for summary judgment, which was subsequently denied on September 29, 2025. This ruling does not represent a determination on the merits of the case. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, no trial has been scheduled. We are confident we conducted our business appropriately, believe we have substantial defenses and intend to vigorously defend against PSG's claims. We have not recorded any liability for this matter as we do not believe a loss is probable, and cannot estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of this matter could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

With respect to administrative or judicial proceedings arising under any federal, state or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, the Company has determined that it will disclose any such proceeding to which a governmental authority is a party if it reasonably believes such proceeding could result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of at least $1.0 million. The Company believes that this threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of environmental proceedings that are material to the Company's business or financial condition. Applying this threshold, there were no environmental matters to disclose for this period.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS** 

There were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our 2025 Form 10-K.
