**News Release** ![cmc-logo_rgbxprimaryx300px.jpg](cmc-logo_rgbxprimaryx300px.jpg)

**CMC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026 RESULTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Second quarter net earnings of $93.0 million, or $0.83 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $130.1 million, or $1.16 per diluted share**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Consolidated core EBITDA of $297.5 million in the second quarter grew by approximately 114% year-over-year due to solid execution including strong momentum in TAG, favorable market conditions, and the benefit of the newly acquired precast business**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Core EBITDA margin of 14.0% increased by 610 basis points compared to the prior year period**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Adjusted EBITDA margins for the North America Steel Group and the Construction Solutions Group reached 16.8% and 17.0%, respectively; current booking and backlog levels support a strong 2026 construction season outlook** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Construction Solutions' recently acquired precast platform generated $33.6 million of adjusted EBITDA during the quarter, or $40.3 million excluding a purchase accounting charge of $6.7 million**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Precast integrations are progressing well, supporting continued confidence in expected business performance and synergies** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Reduced net leverage during the quarter; remain confident in achieving our goal of 2x within the previously committed timeframe** 

**Irving, TX - March 26, 2026** - CMC (NYSE: CMC) (the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended February 28, 2026.

Peter Matt, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The CMC team delivered another strong quarter, driving a more than two-fold increase in core EBITDA compared to a year ago. These impressive results reflect continued execution of our strategy, underpinned by additional efficiency gains from our enterprise-wide Transform, Advance, Grow ("TAG") program and meaningful contributions from our recently acquired precast platform. While weather disruptions temporarily impacted much of our North American footprint during the quarter, we were encouraged by the favorable underlying market conditions across our segments. Overall, our strong second quarter results demonstrate continued progress toward our goal of meaningfully and sustainably enhancing CMC's financial profile and earnings power, and we believe there is much more runway ahead."

Mr. Matt added, "The second quarter marked CMC's entry into the precast concrete business following the close of both the Concrete Pipe and Precast, LLC ("CP&P") and Foley Products Company, LLC ("Foley") acquisitions in December. Integration is advancing well and remains on schedule, supported by the cultural fit and the high quality of the teams engaged across the companies. While it has only been a few months, we are encouraged by what we have seen within our new precast platform, including a strong customer value proposition, good operational and commercial capabilities, attractive industry fundamentals, and solid synergy opportunity, all of which support our investment thesis."

(CMC Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 - 2)

Second quarter net earnings were $93.0 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.1 billion, compared to prior year period net earnings of $25.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recorded net after-tax charges of $37.1 million, related primarily to the acquisitions of Foley and CP&P, as well as interest expense on the judgment amount associated with the previously disclosed litigation. These charges were offset in part by an unrealized gain on undesignated commodity hedges. Net earnings recorded for the prior year period included net after-tax charges of $10.3 million related to an unrealized loss on undesignated commodity hedges and interest expense on the judgment amount of the aforementioned litigation. Excluding these charges in both periods, second quarter adjusted earnings were $130.1 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings of $35.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the prior year period. "Adjusted EBITDA," "core EBITDA," "core EBITDA margin," "adjusted earnings" and "adjusted earnings per diluted share" are non-GAAP financial measures. Details, including a reconciliation of each such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, can be found in the financial tables that follow.

As of February 28, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $503.6 million and available liquidity was over $1.7 billion. During the quarter, CMC repurchased 249,154 shares of common stock valued at $18.3 million in the aggregate. As of February 28, 2026, $147.8 million remained available under the current share repurchase authorization.

On March 25, 2026, the board of directors approved an increase of $0.02 per share to CMC's quarterly dividend payment and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of CMC common stock payable to stockholders of record on April 6, 2026. The dividend, to be paid on April 15, 2026, will represent an 11% increase from the prior quarterly dividend level and marks the 246<sup>th</sup> consecutive quarterly payment by the Company.

**<u>Business Segments - Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Review</u>**

North America Steel Group product shipments remained stable during the quarter with average daily volumes of finished steel products virtually unchanged from the prior year period. On a sequential basis, average daily volumes decreased by 8.2%, in-line with historical seasonal patterns. The pipeline of potential future construction projects remains healthy as indicated by CMC's downstream bidding activity, customer commentary related to upcoming project opportunities, and the elevated level of the Dodge Momentum Index, which measures the value of projects entering the planning phase. Downstream backlog volumes increased slightly relative to the prior year period, reaching the highest level since the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Contract awards were solid across several growing construction segments, including data centers, energy, institutional, and public works. CMC's downstream shipment volumes increased compared to the prior year period despite continued commercial selectivity aimed at ensuring all new projects meet minimum margin thresholds related to the service capabilities provided. This disciplined approach helped drive the first year-over-year increase in average backlog price in nearly three years.

Margins on steel products were relatively stable on a sequential basis. Compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the average selling price for steel products improved by $35 per ton, while scrap costs were up $33 per ton. CMC's average selling price for steel products increased by $160 per ton on a year-over-year basis, while scrap costs were up only $13 per ton.

Adjusted EBITDA for the North America Steel Group increased 96.9% to $269.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from $137.0 million in the prior year period, driven by higher margins over scrap costs on steel products as well as solid execution and positive contributions from CMC's TAG program. Segment profitability during the quarter was negatively impacted by approximately $5 million to $10 million due to weather disruptions that reduced production and temporarily increased energy costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the North America Steel Group was 16.8%, up from 9.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Construction Solutions Group ("CSG") second quarter net sales of $314.4 million increased by 97.9% compared to the prior year period, while adjusted EBITDA of $53.4 million was up 127.1% year-over-year. Growth in net sales and profitability was driven by the addition of CMC's precast platform, which contributed $33.6 million to segment adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. Excluding a one-time purchase accounting adjustment of $6.7 million, the newly established precast platform generated $40.3 million of EBITDA, reflecting three months of performance for CP&P and two and a half months for Foley. Precast shipments were solid during the quarter despite some delays related to inclement weather. The value in backlog ended the quarter up by a high single-digit percentage compared to the prior year period, indicating a good volume outlook for the spring and summer construction season. Tensar financial performance remained stable in its seasonally weakest quarter. Financial results for CMC's Construction Services division improved on a year-over-year basis, driven by strategic initiatives to increase store traffic, add new accounts, and optimally price in-store merchandise. Adjusted EBITDA at CMC's

(CMC Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 - 4)

Performance Reinforcing Steel division declined compared to the prior year period due to project timing. Indications of future market conditions within CSG remained encouraging with backlogs and quoting activity at healthy levels. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.0% improved 2.2 percentage points relative to the prior year period. The inclusion of CMC's precast business was 5.3 percentage points accretive to CSG's adjusted EBITDA margin during the quarter, and would have been accretive by 7.4 percentage points excluding the purchase accounting effect on inventory.

Market conditions for the Europe Steel Group were mixed during the quarter. Demand for merchant bar remained resilient, while the large quantity of rebar imported ahead of the Europe Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ("CBAM") implementation on January 1, 2026, temporarily dampened demand for domestic material. Despite this overhang, the average selling price for CMC's steel products increased by $21 per ton compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026 in anticipation of CBAM's eventual supportive impact. Price levels for merchant bar and wire rod also improved on a sequential basis, leading to the Europe Steel Group achieving its highest total steel products average selling price in six quarters. Metal margin increased by $10 per ton sequentially in the second quarter, as a $21 per ton rise in average selling price was only partially offset by a seasonal uptick in scrap costs of $11 per ton.

The adjusted EBITDA loss for the Europe Steel Group of $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was down from a profit of $0.8 million in the prior year period, while adjusted EBITDA margin of (0.7%) decreased from 0.4% over the comparable period. The year-over-year decline was driven by lower shipments and related diminished fixed cost leverage.

**<u>Outlook</u>**

Mr. Matt said, "We expect consolidated core EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to increase meaningfully from second quarter levels due to normal seasonal improvement within our key markets and continued margin strength across our North American footprint. North America Steel Group adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to rise modestly on a sequential basis on higher seasonal volumes, the impact of which will be partially offset by annual maintenance outages across the mill network that are expected to add approximately $15 million to $20 million in costs during the quarter. Financial results for the Construction Solutions Group are expected to nearly double compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Europe Steel Group adjusted EBITDA should improve substantially on higher seasonal volumes, modestly improved metal margins, and the anticipated receipt of an approximately $20 million CO2 credit. In our U.S. market, we have not yet experienced any direct impact from the war in Iran, but continue to closely monitor the situation for potential demand disruptions or cost inflation. Energy costs in Europe have risen, though the magnitude of the financial effect will depend on the duration of the conflict."

Mr. Matt added, "CMC is well-positioned to drive further growth during the second half of fiscal 2026. Solid market dynamics, additional benefits from our TAG program, and effective operational execution are

(CMC Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 - 5)

generating momentum in CMC's legacy businesses, which will be supplemented by significant contributions from our newly established precast platform. For the full fiscal year, we continue to anticipate the precast business will generate between $165 million and $175 million in EBITDA. Longer-term, we remain focused on creating significant value for our shareholders by continuing to execute against our strategic plan, delivering meaningful and sustained enhancements to our margins, earnings, cash flow generation, and return on capital."

**COMMERCIAL METALS COMPANY**

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)**

This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA, core EBITDA margin and adjusted earnings are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. Core EBITDA margin is defined as core EBITDA divided by net sales. The adjustment "Settlement of New Markets Tax Credit transactions" represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company's participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The adjustment "Litigation expense" represents a provision recorded in the three months ended November 30, 2024 related to the judgment in the Pacific Steel Group litigation and, with respect to subsequent periods, primarily represents interest expense on the judgment amount. The adjustments "Acquisition and integration related costs" and "Acquisition, integration and financing related costs" represent nonrecurring fees associated with the Foley and CP&P acquisitions. The adjustment "Purchase accounting effect on inventory" represents a one time fair value adjustment on inventory associated with the Foley and CP&P acquisitions. The adjustment "Amortization of acquired contract backlog" represents the amortization of the intangible contract backlog from the Foley and CP&P acquisitions.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as alternatives to, the most directly comparable measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. However, we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to management, investors, analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as they allow: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our underlying business operational performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate financial performance. We have not reconciled the forward-looking estimates of TAG-related EBITDA benefits to comparable GAAP measures because applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of metal margins, U.S. trade policy, cost levels of key production inputs, construction activity and related product demand, etc. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forward-looking estimates of TAG-related EBITDA benefits to net earnings are not available at this time without unreasonable effort.

4 [1] We have not reconciled the forward-looking estimates of TAG-related EBITDA benefits to comparable GAAP measures because applicable information for future periods, on which these reconciliations would be based, is not readily available due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of metal margins, U.S. trade policy, cost levels of key production inputs, construction activity and related product demand, etc. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forward-looking estimates of TAG-related EBITDA benefits to net earnings are not available at this time without unreasonable effort. Benefit estimates are based on the value of changes to key margin, cost, or efficiency drivers achieved through the TAG program as compared to a baseline fiscal 2024 starting point.

27 ADJUSTED EARNINGS Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to earnings (loss) before asset impairments and settlement for New Markets Tax Credit transactions, including the estimated income tax effects thereof. The adjustment "settlement for New Markets Tax Credit transaction" represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company's participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Adjusted earnings also excludes litigation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges and acquisition, integration and financing related costs. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted earnings provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted earnings may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (or adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. CORE EBITDA Core EBITDA is the sum of net earnings (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. It also excludes recurring non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog, and unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges. Core EBITDA also excludes litigation expense, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishments, gains on sale of assets, acquisition settlements, and acquisition and integration related costs. The adjustment "litigation expense" represents a provision recorded in the three months ended November 30, 2024 related to the judgment in the Pacific Steel Group litigation and, with respect to subsequent periods, interest expense on the judgment amount. The adjustment "settlement for New Markets Tax Credit transaction" represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company's participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Core EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to earnings (loss) from continuing operations or net earnings (loss), or as a better measure of liquidity than net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP. However, we believe that Core EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is often used by analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as it allows: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Additionally, Core EBITDA is the target benchmark for our annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans for management. Core EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company's net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog, and unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. NET DEBT Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. NET LEVERAGE Net leverage is defined as net debt divided by trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL Return on Invested Capital is defined as: 1) after-tax operating profit divided by 2) total assets less cash & cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing liabilities. For annual measures, trailing 5-quarter averages are used for balance sheet figures. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company modified its method of calculating adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses from undesignated commodity derivatives. This change was primarily driven by heightened volatility in copper forward markets during 2025, which introduced significant non-cash fluctuations unrelated to core operations. By removing this volatility, the revised metric provides a more representative view of operating performance and cash-generating capability. Accordingly, the Company recast adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA, core EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share for all prior periods to conform to this presentation.
