American Marconi Wireless News - Ternium Announces Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2025 Results

The financial and operational information contained in this press release is based on Ternium S.A.'s operational data and consolidated condensed interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" (IFRS) and presented in U.S. dollars ($) and metric tons. Interim financial figures are unaudited. This press release includes certain non-IFRS alternative performance measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Operating Income, Free Cash Flow and Net Cash. The reconciliation of these figures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is included in Exhibit I.

Third Quarter of 2025 Highlights

Interim dividend figure compared to third quarter of 2024. Other figures compared to second quarter of 2025.

Note 1: Includes a $405 million non-cash charge in connection with a write-down of deferred tax assets at Usiminas and a $32 million loss stemming from the quarterly update of the value of a provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

Summary of Third Quarter of 2025 Results

Note: Each American Depositary Share, or ADS, represents 10 shares of Ternium's common stock. Results are based on a weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (net of treasury shares) of 1,963,076,776.

Third Quarter of 2025 Highlights

In the third quarter of 2025, Ternium continued improving its Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as steel production costs decreased, mainly reflecting lower raw material and purchased slab costs, as well as efficiency gains.

Net result in the third quarter of 2025 was a loss of $270 million. This result includes a $405 million income tax charge in connection with a write-down of deferred tax assets at Usiminas and a $32 million loss stemming from the quarterly update of the value of a provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

As of the end of September 2025, Ternium's Net Cash position stood at $715 million, decreasing by $303 million since June 2025. This decline reflects the cash demands associated with the ongoing expansion of the company's industrial center in Pesquería, Mexico, and changes in the fair value of Argentine securities.

Interim Dividend Payment

Ternium's board of directors approved the payment of an interim dividend of $0.90 per ADS ($0.09 per share), or $177 million based on total shares of common stock outstanding, net of treasury shares.

The interim dividend payment date will be November 11, 2025, with record date on November 10, 2025.

Considering the dividend paid in May 2025 and the announced interim dividend for November 2025, total distributions during 2025 will amount to $2.70 per ADS. Considering Ternium's ADS prevailing market prices, this is equivalent to a dividend yield of approximately 7%.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 equals net Income adjusted to exclude:

• Depreciation and amortization;

• Income tax results;

• Net financial results;

• Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies; and

• Provision charge for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

And adjusted to include the proportional EBITDA in Unigal (70% participation).

Adjusted EBITDA margin equals adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. For more information see Exhibit I - Alternative performance measures - "Adjusted EBITDA".

In the third quarter of 2025, the Steel Segment's net sales remained stable sequentially with slightly higher sales volumes offset by slightly lower realized steel prices. Year-over-year, the Steel Segment's net sales declined by 13% in the third quarter of 2025. Sales volumes decreased by 9% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower shipments in Mexico and Brazil, partially offset by higher shipments in the Southern Region. Steel revenue per ton declined by 5% year-over-year, reflecting lower realized steel prices particularly in the Southern Region and Other Markets.

Ternium's shipments in Mexico posted a moderate sequential increase in the third quarter of 2025. On a year-over-year basis, sales volumes in the third quarter declined, as ongoing uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations with the U.S. and weak infrastructure investments in the country continued to dampen overall steel demand.

In Brazil, shipments in the third quarter of 2025 showed a modest sequential increase. On a year-over-year basis, sales volumes declined. Although steel demand in the country grew during 2025, this was offset by a sharp increase in flat steel product imports.

In the Southern Region, shipments showed a slight sequential decrease in the third quarter of 2025. Year-over-year, sales volumes increased, reflecting better steel demand in Argentina.

In Other Markets, declining shipments in the US were partially offset by higher sales volumes in other destinations both sequentially and year-over-year.

The Steel Segment's Cash Operating Income increased by $41 million sequentially in the third quarter of 2025, mainly driven by better margins. The margin improvement reflected the company's efforts to increase the efficiency in its operations and a decrease in raw material, purchased slab and energy costs, partially offset by a slight decrease in realized steel prices.

Year-over-year, the Steel Segment's Cash Operating Income increased by $82 million in the period, driven by better margins partially offset by lower sales volumes. The margin improvement mainly reflected a decrease in raw material and purchased slab costs, partially offset by lower realized steel prices.

The Mining Segment's net sales decreased by 5% sequentially in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting lower sales volumes and a slight decrease in realized iron ore prices. Year-over-year, the Mining Segment's net sales increased slightly in the third quarter of 2025, as an increase in sales volumes was mostly offset by lower realized iron ore prices.

The Mining Segment's cash operating income decreased sequentially and year-over-year in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower margins and reduced sales volumes. On a year-over-year basis, the decline reflected lower margins, partially offset by increased sales volumes. The margin compression in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior quarter and to the same period in 2024, was the result of higher unit costs and lower realized iron ore prices.

Note: For a reconciliation of the Mining Segment's Cash Operating Income and Cash Operating Income per Ton and Margin to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, see Exhibit I - Alternative performance measures - "Cash Operating Income - Mining Segment".

Net financial results for the third quarter of 2025 were a loss of $35 million. This included a loss of $34 million in net foreign exchange results, driven mainly by the impact of the Argentine Peso's depreciation against the U.S. dollar on Ternium Argentina's net long local currency position and the impact of the Mexican Peso's appreciation against the U.S. dollar on Ternium Mexico's net short local currency position.

Ternium Mexico, Ternium Argentina and Ternium Brasil use the U.S. 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 U.S. dollar, as well as for the effect of local inflation.

In the third quarter of 2025, Ternium's income tax expense totaled $444 million. This included a $405 million charge in connection with the write-down of deferred tax assets at Usiminas, following the performance of a recoverability assessment of such assets.

Net result in the third quarter of 2025 was a loss of $270 million. This result includes a loss of $405 million in connection with the write-down of deferred tax assets at Usiminas, and a loss of $32 million on account of interest accruals and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real in connection with the provision for ongoing litigation concerning the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

Equity Holder's Net Income was $21 million in the period, or $0.10 per ADS, mainly after accounting for the participation of a 76.7% non-controlling interest in Usiminas and a 37.4% non-controlling interest in Ternium Argentina.
