**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**as of June 30, 2025**

**(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)**

**(Unaudited)**

**NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION**

Gerdau S.A. is a publicly traded corporation *(sociedade anônima)* with its corporate domicile in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Gerdau S.A and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company") is a leading producer of long steel in the Americas and one of the largest suppliers of special steel in the world. In Brazil, the Company also produces flat steel and iron ore, activities which expanded the product mix and made its operations even more competitive. The Company believes it is the largest recycler in Latin America and around the world it transforms each year millions of tons of scrap into steel, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development of the regions where it operates. Gerdau is listed on the São Paulo and New York stock exchanges.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company were approved by the Management on July 31, 2025.

**NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES**

**2.1 - Basis of Presentation**

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month period ended on June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) Nº 34, which establishes the content of condensed interim financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Gerdau S.A., as of December 31, 2024, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB.

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires Management to make accounting estimates. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared using the historical cost as its basis, except for the valuation of certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

The accounting policies applied in this Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Starting with the disclosure of the results of 2025, the Company began to disclose the information and results of its business segments as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Brazil Segment: includes the long, flat and special steel operations and the iron ore operation located in Brazil and and joint ventures (note 3.2) and associates (note 3.3) companies located in Brazil.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· North America Segment: includes the long and specialty steel operations located in Canada and the United States and the joint ventures (note 3.2) located in Canada and Mexico;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· South America Segment: includes the operations in Argentina, Peru and Uruguay.

With these changes, the information and results of the former Special Steel Segment, which included the special steel operations located in Brazil and the United States, will now be disclosed jointly with the other segments, according to their geographic location, as the Brazil Segment and the North America Segment, respectively.

This new format for disclosing information and results is in line with recent changes in the global steel industry scenario, which have led to an increasing regionalization of markets, business dynamics and local currencies of these operations, improving the presentation of Gerdau's results in Brazil and North America, the main regions in which it operates. The comparative information of the segments presented in this Interim Information has been adjusted to reflect this new composition.

**2.2 – New accounting standards**

The issued and/or reviewed IFRS standards made by the IASB that are effective for the year started in 2025 had no impact on the Company's Financial Statements. In addition, the IASB issued/reviewed some IFRS standards, which have mandatory adoption for the year 2026 and/or after, and the Company is assessing the adoption impact of these standards in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

- Issuance of IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. It will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements, introducing new requirements that will help achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. Although IFRS 18 does not impact the recognition or measurement of items in financial statements, its impacts on presentation and disclosure are expected to be widespread, in particular those related to the demonstration of financial performance and the provision of performance measures defined by management within the financial statements. This standard is effective for years beginning on/or after January 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impacts on its Financial Statements of adopting this standard.

- Issuance of IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures. Establishes simplified disclosures requirements for consolidated or individual financial statements of entities eligible for the application of this standard. These rules are effective for fiscal years beginning on/or after January 1, 2027. The Company does not expect material impacts on its Financial Statements.

- Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. It clarifies aspects related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. This amendment to the standards is effective for years beginning on/or after January 1, 2026. The Company is evaluating the impacts on its Financial Statements of adopting these standards.

- Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts that refer to electricity dependent on nature. Clarifies aspects related to the application and disclosure of purchase and sale contracts exposed to variations in electricity generation dependent on uncontrollable natural conditions and related financial instruments. This amendment to the standards is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company does not expect significant impacts on its Financial Statements.

- Annual improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards. It applies amendments to IFRS 1, addressing first-adoption aspects related to hedge accounting; IFRS 7, covering aspects of gain and loss on the reversal of a financial instrument, credit risk disclosures, and the difference between fair value and transaction price; IFRS 9, addressing aspects related to the reversal of leasing liabilities and transaction price; IFRS 10, addressing the determination of the "*de facto agent*" and IAS 7, addressing aspects related to the cost method. These amendments are effective for years beginning on/or after January 1, 2026. The Company does not expect material impacts on its Financial Statements.

**2.3 - Increased tariffs on exports to the United States**

Following the announcement by the United States government of an increase in tariffs on exports of products from Brazil, the Company has been monitoring, carefully, the potential effects that the U.S. tariffs on Brazil could have on the domestic market, such as a ripple effect on the consumption of steel in Brazil.

**NOTE 3 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**3.1 - Subsidiaries**

The Company did not have material changes of interest in subsidiaries for the period ended on June 30, 2025, when compared to those existing on December 31, 2024, except in relation to the acquisition of control of Gerdau Summit Aços Fundidos e Forjados S.A., Rio do Sangue Energia S.A., Comercial Gerdau Aços Planos Ltda. e Paranatinga Energia S.A., described in Note 3.4.

**3.4 — Acquisition of company control**

**a) Gerdau Summit Aços Fundidos e Forjados S.A. (Gerdau Summit)**

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

The Company assessed the fair value of Gerdau Summit's assets and liabilities and the following table summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities on the date of acquisition of control of the company:

The amounts recognized as net revenue and net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, presented in the Income Statement, attributable to Gerdau Summit, total R$322.7 million and R$21.1 million, respectively.

**b) Rio do Sangue Energia S.A.**

On March 21, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition, from Atiaia Energia S.A., of all the shares of Rio do Sangue Energia S.A., owner of the Small Hydroelectric Power Plant ("PCH") called Garganta da Jararaca, for R$244.5 million. The acquisition price was paid in cash on the closing date with its own available resources. The PCH is located in the state of Mato Grosso and will supply renewable energy to Gerdau's steel production units in Brazil, on a self-generation basis. The acquisition of these assets is in line with the Company's strategy of increasing the cost competitiveness of its business by increasing the self-production of clean energy, and in line with the previously announced decarbonization process. The amounts recognized as revenue and net income for the year attributable to Rio do Sangue Energia S.A., included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date, are not material. Additionally, the revenues and net profit that would be generated by Rio do Sangue Energia S.A. for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, if control had been obtained at the beginning of the year, would also not be significant.

**c) Comercial Gerdau Aços Planos Ltda.**

On April 11, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the capital of Kloeckner Metals Brasil Ltda. from Klöeckner & Co.SE, for approximately R$42.9 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company realized a gain on a bargain purchase of R$3.6 million, since the acquisition price was lower than the fair value of the acquired company, and the gain was recognized in the income statement for the period. The acquisition price was paid in cash with available equity. Following the acquisition, the Company changed the name of its new subsidiary to Comercial Gerdau Aços Planos Ltda.. The acquired company's business purpose is the sale of steel products and metal cutting and bending, among other activities. The amounts recognized as revenue and net income for the year, attributable to Comercial Gerdau Aços Planos Ltda., included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date, are not material. Additionally, the revenues and net profit that would have been generated by Comercial Gerdau Aços Planos Ltda. for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, if control had been obtained at the beginning of the year, would also not have been significant.

**d) Paranatinga Energia S.A.**

On April 28, 2025, the Company, together with Atiaia Energia S.A., completed the acquisition of all the shares of Paranatinga Energia S.A., owner of the Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (PCH) called Paranatinga II, for approximately R$197.2 million, net of consolidated cash of R$32.8 million. The acquisition price was paid in cash with its own available resources. This SHP is located in the state of Mato Grosso and will supply renewable energy to Gerdau's steel production units in Brazil, on a self-production basis. The acquisition of this asset is in line with Gerdau's strategy of increasing the cost competitiveness of its business by increasing the self-production of clean energy, and in line with the decarbonization process already announced by the Company. The amounts recognized as revenue and net income for the year, attributable to Paranatinga Energia S.A., included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date, are not material. Additionally, the revenues and net profit that would be generated by Paranatinga Energia S.A. for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, if control had been obtained at the beginning of the year, would also not be significant.

|:---|:---|:---|

| Trade accounts payable - imports | 810204 | 1365909 |
|  | 5567358 | 5718104 |

---

Under "Trade Accounts Payable - Domestic Market", the Company presents balances payable arising from the acquisition of goods and services in the domestic markets of each of the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate.

The Company has contracts with financial institutions in order to allow its suppliers to anticipate their receivables through an operation called "Trade Accounts Payable – Debtor Risk". In this operation, suppliers can transfer, at their discretion, the right to receive the securities to a financial institution, which, in turn, becomes the holder of the rights of the suppliers' receivables. The average discount rate on risk transactions carried out by our suppliers with financial institutions in Brazil and with subsidiaries in the United States was based on market conditions. The transfer of the right to receive the Company's securities, at the supplier's discretion, does not change the payment term, nor does it imply the payment of interest by the Company, as the financial cost of such transfer is the responsibility of the supplier. Therefore, the payment term for suppliers at risk drawn varies between 7 and 132 days, with the same payment term for suppliers who do not choose to advance their receivables through the operation called "Trade Accounts Payable – Debtor Risk".

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **January 01, 2024** |

| Amounts received by suppliers from financial institutions that are part of the financing agreement - debt risk, in relation to the outstanding balance mentioned above | 399555 | 451420 | 571784 |

---

The amounts of liabilities under the supplier financing arrangement are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The balances presented as "Trade Accounts Payable - Imports" substantially refer to the purchase of coal and other raw materials abroad, where in commercial transactions the supplier may require the issuance of a letter of credit or similar risk mitigation instrument to ship the products. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contracts negotiated via letter of credit had a payment term of up to 180 days and rates that also varied, depending on market conditions.

The Company permanently monitors the composition of the portfolio and the conditions established with suppliers, which have not undergone significant changes in relation to what had been practiced historically.

The debentures are denominated in Brazilian Reais, nonconvertible, and pay variable interest as a percentage of the CDI – Interbank Deposit Certificate. The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to default clauses (covenants) linked to financial indexes.

The average interest rate was 104.48% of the CDI + 0.67% for the three and six-month periods ended on June 30, 2025 (CDI + 0.62% for the three and six-month periods ended on June 30, 2024, respectively).

In June 2025, the Company announced the public offering for its 19th debenture issuance, issuing 1,375 (one million, three hundred and seventy-five thousand) debentures in registered, book-entry form, without issuing warrants or certificates, with a unit face value of R$1, totaling R$1.375 billion.

The fair values of Loans and Financing and Debentures are based on market premises, which may take into consideration discounted cash flows using equivalent market rates and credit rating. All other financial instruments, which are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their carrying amount, are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, because there is no active market for these instruments, differences could exist if they were settled in advance. The fair value hierarchy of the financial instruments above is presented in Note 14.g.

**c) Risk factors that could affect the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses:**

**Price risk of commodities**: this risk is related to the possibility of changes in prices of the products sold by the Company or in prices of raw materials and other inputs used in the productive process. Since the Company operates in a commodity market, net sales and cost of sales may be affected by changes in the international prices of their products or materials. In order to minimize this risk, the Company constantly monitors the price variations in the domestic and international markets. Furthermore, the Company may contract derivatives in order to reduce this risk.

**Interest rate risk**: this risk arises from the effects of fluctuations in interest rates applied to the Company's financial liabilities or assets and future cash flows and income. The Company evaluates its exposure to these risks: (i) comparing financial assets and liabilities denominated at fixed and floating interest rates and (ii) monitoring the variations of interest rates like Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and CDI. Accordingly, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps in order to reduce this risk.

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

**Credit risk**: this risk arises from the possibility of the Company not receiving amounts arising from sales to customers or investments made with financial institutions. In order to minimize this risk, the Company adopt the procedure of analyzing in details of the financial position of their customers, establishing a credit limit and constantly monitoring their balances. Regarding financial investments, the Company only carries out transactions with first-rate institutions and with low credit risk, as assessed by rating agencies and risk mitigation parameters defined in the Company's internal guidelines.

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Net debt/EBITDA | Less or equal to 1.5 times |
| Gross debt limit | R$12 billion |
| Average maturity of debt | more than 6 years |

---

These key indicators are used to monitor objectives described above and may not necessarily be used as indicators for other purposes, such as impairment tests.

**Liquidity risk:** The Company's management policy of indebtedness and cash on hand is based on using the committed lines and the currently available credit lines with or without a guarantee in export receivables for maintaining adequate levels of short, medium, and long-term liquidity. The maturity of long-term loans and financing, and debentures are presented in Notes 12 and 13, respectively.

**Sensitivity analysis:**

The Company performed a sensitivity analysis, which can be summarized as follows:

**Foreign currency sensitivity analysis**: As of June 30, 2025, the Company is mainly exposed to variations between the Real and the Dollar. The sensitivity analysis carried out by the Company considers the effects of a 5% increase or decrease between the Real and the Dollar in its non-hedged debts (loans and financing), trade accounts receivable - exports from Brazil and trade accounts payable – imports (imports/exports). Variations between the local currencies of other countries and the Dollar do not represent material exposures. In this analysis, if the Real appreciates against the Dollar, this would represent a gain of R$22,786 (gain of R$12,139 as of June 30, 2024). If the Real depreciates against the Dollar, this would represent a loss of the same amount. As for foreign currency variations in Imports/Exports, if the Real appreciates against the Dollar, this would represent a gain of R$59,219 (gain of R$49,262 as of June 30, 2024), if the Real depreciates against the Dollar, this would represent a loss of the same value.

**(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)**

**(Unaudited)**

The net values of other assets and other liabilities in foreign currencies do not present significant risks of impacts due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.

**Interest rate sensitivity analysis**: The interest rate sensitivity analysis made by the Company considers the effects of an increase or reduction of 10 basis point (bps) on the average interest rate applicable to the floating part of its debt. The calculated impact, considering this variation in the interest rate totals R$53,968 as of June 30, 2025 (R$34,471 as of June 30, 2024) and would impact the financial expenses account in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The specific interest rates to which the Company is exposed are related to the loans, financing, and debentures presented in Notes 12 and 13, and are mainly comprised by SOFR and CDI — Interbank Deposit Certificate.

**Sensitivity analysis of changes in sales price of products and price of raw materials and other inputs used in production**: The Company is exposed to changes in the price of its products. This exposure is associated with the fluctuation of the sales price of the Company's products and the price of raw materials and other inputs used in the production process, mainly for operating in a commodity market. The sensitivity analysis made by the Company considers the effects of an increase or of a reduction of 1% on both prices. The impact measured considering this variation in the price of products sold, considering the revenues and costs for the period ended on June 30, 2025, totals R$24,631 (R$166,158 as of June 30, 2024) and the variation in the price of raw materials and other inputs totals R$12,915 as of June 30, 2025 (R$104,942 as of June 30, 2024). The impact in the price of products sold and raw materials would be recorded in the accounts Net Sales and Cost of Sales, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company does not expect to be more vulnerable to a change in one or more specific product or raw material.

**Sensitivity analysis of currency forward contracts**: On June 30, 2025, the Company has no exposure to Dollar forward contracts for some of its assets and liabilities. The sensitivity analysis carried out by the Company considers the effects of a 5% increase or decrease in the Dollar against the Argentinian Peso, and its effects on the mark to market of these derivatives. A 5% increase in the Dollar against the Argentinian Peso represents a loss of R$16,276 and a 5% decrease in the Dollar against the Argentinian Peso represents a gain in the same amount. Forward contracts in Dollar/Argentinian Peso were intended to cover asset and liability positions in Dollars and the effects of the mark to market of these contracts were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

On June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there were no exposure in currency forward contracts in Reais against the Dollar. The Dollar forward contracts to which the Company is exposed are presented in Note 14.e.

**Sensitivity analysis of commodity forward contracts**: the Company has exposure to Commodity forward contracts (coal, nickel and energy) for some of its liabilities. The sensitivity analysis carried out by the Company on June 30, 2025 considers the effects of a 5% increase or decrease in the price of the commodity, and its effects on the mark to market of these derivatives. A 5% increase in the price of the commodity represents a loss of R$1,851 as of June 30, 2025 (loss of R$3,949 as of June 30, 2024), and a 5% decrease in the price of the commodity represents a gain on June 30, 2025 and on June 30, 2024 in the same amount. The mark to market effects of these contracts were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Commodity forward contracts to which the Company is exposed are presented in Note 14.e.

**Sensitivity analysis of USD x DI swaps**: the Company has USD x DI swaps to protect some of its Loans and financing. The sensitivity analysis carried out by the Company considers the impact on the MTM of a 5% increase in the Dollar against Real for all vertices of the respective operations. This variation would represent a gain of R$8,465 (gain of R$8,559 as of June 30, 2024). These effects would be recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. The USD x DI swaps that the Company is exposed to are presented in Note 14.e.

**e) Operations with derivative financial instruments**

**Risk management objectives and strategies**: In order to execute its strategy of sustainable growth, the Company implements risk management strategies in order to mitigate market risks.

The objective of derivative transactions is always related to mitigating market risks as stated in our policies and guidelines. All derivative instruments in force are monthly reviewed by the Financial Risk Committee, which validates the fair value of such instruments. All gains and losses on derivative instruments are recognized at their fair value in the Company's consolidated financial statements in the line of Gains (Losses) on financial instruments, net.

**Policy for use of derivatives**: The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in exchange rates, commodities prices and interest rates. The Company uses derivatives and other financial instruments to reduce the impact of such risks on the fair value of its assets and liabilities or in future cash flows and income. The Company has established policies to evaluate the market risks and to approve the use of derivative transactions related to these risks. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments solely to manage the market risks mentioned above and never for speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are used only when they have a related position (asset or liability exposure) resulting from business operations, investments and financing.

**Policy for determining fair value**: the fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using models and other valuation techniques, including future prices and market curves.

Derivative transactions may include interest rate and/or currency swaps, currency futures contracts and currency options contracts.

**Currency forward contracts**: The Company may contract forward contract operations, through which it receives/pays a fixed Dollar amount and receives/pays a fixed Real/Argentinian Peso amount. Counterparties are always top - tier financial institutions with low credit risk.

**Swap Contracts**: The Company may contract a swap contract operation, through which it exchanges interest rate indices or local and/or foreign currency. Counterparties are always top - tier financial institutions with low credit risk.

The derivatives instruments can be summarized and categorized as follows:

**f) Net investment hedge**

The Company designated as hedge of part of its net investments in subsidiaries abroad the operations of Ten Years Bonds. Consequently, the effect of exchange rate changes on these debts on the amount of US$0.2 billion (equivalent to R$1.0 billion on June 30, 2025) (designated as a hedge) has been recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Company demonstrated effectiveness of the hedge as of its designation dates and demonstrated the high effectiveness of the hedge from the contracting of each debt for the acquisition of these companies abroad, whose effects were measured and recognized directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an unrealized gain, net of taxes, in the amount R$96,950 for the three-month period ended on June 30, 2025 (loss of R$232,157 for the three-month period ended on June 30, 2024) and as an unrealized gain, net of taxes, in the amount R$284,021 for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2025 (loss of R$295,865 for six-month period ended on June 30, 2024).

The objective of the hedge is to protect, during the existence of the debt, the amount of part of the Company's investment in the subsidiaries abroad mentioned above against positive and negative changes in the exchange rate. This objective is consistent with the Company's risk management strategy. Prospective and retrospective tests demonstrated the effectiveness of these instruments.

**g) Measurement of fair value:**

IFRS Accounting Standards defines fair value as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability in an arm's length transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

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

**NOTE 23 – IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS**

The impairment test of goodwill and other long-lived assets is tested based on the analysis and identification of facts or circumstances that may involve the need to perform the impairment test. The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill and other long-lived assets, based on projections of discounted cash flows, which take into account assumptions such as: cost of capital, growth rate and adjustments applied to flows in perpetuity, methodology for working capital determination, investment plans, and long-term economic-financial forecasts.

To determine the recoverable amount of each business segment, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method, taking as basis, financial and economic projections for each segment. The projections are updated to take into consideration any observed changes in the economic environment of the market in which the Company operates, as well as premises of expected results and historical profitability of each segment.

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

The Company concluded that there are no indications that demand the performance of the impairment test of goodwill and other long-lived assets for the period ended on June 30, 2025.

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