Second Quarter of 2024 Highlights
Ternium’s Adjusted EBITDA reached $545 million in the period on Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 12%, with a relatively weak pricing environment in Ternium’s main steel markets. Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially in the second quarter mainly reflecting lower realized steel prices and a slight increase in costs, as steel shipments remained relatively stable.
The company recorded in the second quarter of 2024 a $783 million provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas in 2012 as a result of an adverse Brazilian court decision issued in June 2024. Ternium believes that such decision is contrary to applicable substantive and procedural law; consequently, it plans to vigorously defend its position, which has been confirmed by a long line of precedents and court decisions, and file all motions and appeals available to it. For more information, see note 13(i) “Tax claims and other contingencies - Provision for ongoing litigation in process related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas” included in the company’s Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024.
In the second quarter of 2024, Ternium had a net loss of $743 million. Net of the aforementioned provision, Adjusted Net Income in the second quarter was $40 million, including a deferred tax loss for an amount of $183 million.
In May 2024, Ternium paid a dividend of $432 million to the company’s shareholders, corresponding to the remaining of the total dividend declared for the year 2023. Capital expenditures in the period amounted to $409 million as Ternium progressed with its expansion programs in Mexico and with its new wind farm in Argentina. Despite this demanding capital allocation, net cash position as of the end of June 2024 was $1.9 billion, a slight decrease compared to net cash position of $2.0 billion as of the end of March. Strong cash provided by operating activities of $656 million and a $160 million increase in the fair value of financial instruments contributed to maintain Ternium’s solid financial position as of the end of the second quarter.
Steel shipments in the second quarter of 2024 increased in Brazil and the Southern Region. Such increases, however, were offset by a slight decrease in sales volumes in Mexico and lower shipments in Other Markets.
In Mexico, steel demand from automotive manufacturers continued growing during the second quarter, reflecting the positive momentum of this industry. On the other hand, activity in the Mexican commercial steel market was negatively affected by a downward trend in steel prices. Furthermore, customer demand in the home appliances and HVAC sectors softened in the period, reflecting a relatively sluggish construction market in North America in a context of high interest rates.
In Brazil, there was a pick-up in steel demand in the second quarter, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors. However, imports of steel products remained high, with a significant year-over-year expansion in the first half of 2024.
In the Southern Region, steel demand in the second quarter reflected improving conditions in the Argentine market, as industrial customer demand and the commercial market showed a gradual recovery.
Outlook
Ternium expects a sequential decline in adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributed to reduced margins partially offset by an increase in shipments across key markets. The company anticipates a drop in realized steel prices, largely as a result of the reset of quarterly and six-months contract prices in Mexico.
The company expects consistent demand in Mexico’s industrial and commercial markets, with supply chain stocks at manageable levels. The automotive industry continues to grow and the construction sector is enjoying an upswing in investment from nearshoring activities, leading to the establishment of new factories and a growing need for warehousing and logistics facilities.
In Brazil, Ternium anticipates a modest rise in shipments, supported by the automotive industry’s projected growth and better activity in the construction sector. On the other hand, despite the recent establishment of a quota system to regulate steel imports in the country, imports during the second quarter remained elevated.
In Argentina, Ternium expects shipments to increase in the third quarter of 2024 after a destocking process in the second quarter, although the pace of the recovery remains uncertain.

Steel Segment
The Steel Segment net sales were down sequentially in the second quarter of 2024, mostly as a result of decreasing realized steel prices in Ternium’s main steel
markets. On a year-over-year basis, the consolidation of Usiminas added $1.1 billion to steel segment net sales and 1.0 million tons to steel product shipments.

Steel products shipments in Mexico were slightly down sequentially in the second quarter, as the strength of Mexican automotive industry was offset by soft demand in the home appliances and HVAC sectors. In addition, the company’s value chain was subject to disruptions caused by a tropical storm in June. Activity in Mexican commercial market remained affected by a downward trend in steel prices.
In Brazil, shipments in the second quarter reflected a widespread pick-up in steel demand. On a year-over-year basis, sales volumes increased 0.9 million tons due to the consolidation of Usiminas.
In the Southern Region, steel shipments in the quarter showed certain sequential recovery mainly as a result of a gradual improvement in the Argentine market.

Cash Operating Income equals Operating Income adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization as well as certain other non-cash and/or non-recurring items. The steel segment’s Cash Operating Income per Ton and Margin equal the steel segment’s Cash Operating Income divided by Steel Segment’s Shipments and Net Sales, respectively. For more information see Exhibit I - Alternative performance measures - “Cash Operating Income - Steel Segment”.
Ternium recorded sequentially lower steel segment Cash Operating Income per Ton and Margin in the second quarter of 2024. Reported ratios were negatively impacted by a decrease in realized steel prices in Ternium’s main steel markets. In addition, cost per ton in the second quarter increased slightly compared to cost per ton in the prior quarter.
Mining Segment
Ternium reports intercompany and third-party sales of mining products under the Mining segment. The Mining Segment net sales in the second quarter of 2024 remained relatively stable sequentially.
On a year-over-year basis, the consolidation of Usiminas added 2.0 million tons to mining products shipments in the second quarter and $161 million to net sales of mining products.

Mining revenue per ton in the second quarter of 2024 remained stable sequentially, as higher realized iron ore prices were offset by a lower participation of higher-priced pellets in the sales mix. Iron ore price volatility remained high in the first half of 2024, with reference prices reaching a 12-month peak early in January and then falling to near the lowest level recorded in the last 12 months.

The mining segment’s Cash Operating Income per Ton and Margin increased sequentially in the second quarter of 2024, mainly as result of higher iron ore
prices partially offset by a lower participation of higher-margin iron ore pellets in the sales mix.
Net Financial Results
In the second quarter of 2024, net foreign exchange results were a loss of $49 million, mainly reflecting the negative effect of the depreciation of the Brazilian
Real vis-a-vis the US dollar on Usiminas’ US dollar denominated debt. Usiminas uses the Brazilian Real as functional currency.

Income Tax Results
Ternium Mexico, Ternium Argentina and Ternium Brasil use the US dollar as their functional currency and are, therefore, affected by deferred tax results. These results account for the impact of local currency fluctuations against the US dollar, as well as for the
effect of local inflation. Effective tax rates in the second quarter and first half of 2024 included, in addition, the effect of a $783 million provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.
