In the event of any discrepancies, the Portuguese language version shall prevail.) 2 Independent auditor’s report on review the individual and consolidated interim financial information. To the Shareholders, Directors and Managers of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional Sao Paulo-SP Introduction We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("Company"), contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which comprise the balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, for three-months period then ended and changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the threemonth period then ended, including the explanatory notes. The Company’s management is responsible for preparing and presenting the individual and consolidated interim financial information, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Statements and with the international accounting standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission, applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards for reviewing interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Entity Auditor and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than that of an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, as a result, did not enable us to obtain assurance that we have taken knowledge of all significant matters that could be identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which leads us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

These statements were submitted to review procedures performed in conjunction with the review of the Company’s quarterly information - ITR, in order to conclude whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in technical pronouncement CPC 09 (R1) - "Demonstration of Added Value". Based on our review, we are not aware of any facts that lead us to believe that these statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this standard and in a manner consistent with the interim financial information, individual and consolidated, taken as a whole.

    1.OPERATING CONTEXT

     

    Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) is a publicly-held corporation, headquartered in São Paulo, capital. Founded on April 9, 1941 during the Getúlio Vargas government, the Company was privatized in 1993. CSN (referred to as "Company" or "Parent Company"), together with its subsidiaries, controlled entities, jointly controlled entities and affiliates (referred to as "Group"), operates in five main business segments:

     

    (i)Steel industry: production and marketing of flat and long steels;
    (ii)Mining: mining and processing of iron ore, tin, limestone and dolomite, as well as the sale of iron ore;
    (iii)Cements: production and marketing of bagged and bulk cements, as well as aggregates and other related products;
    (iv)Energy: production and sale of energy from renewable sources;
    (v)Logística: participações em ferrovias, concessão de portos e frota rodoviária.

     

    The Company is listed on B3 – Brazil, Bolsa, Balcão, under the code CSNA3, where it trades its common shares, and on the United States stock exchange, under the code SID. Besides that, the subsidiaries CSN Mineração S.A. and Companhia Estadual de Geração de Energia Elétrica are publicly traded, and CSN Mineração S.A. has its common shares traded on B3 under the code CMIN3.

     

    CSN Group has a significant business diversification, being one of the largest steel producers in Brazil, the second largest exporter of iron ore and a pioneer in the stacking of tailings for de-characterization of dams. It also occupies the position of the second largest player in the cement sector in the country.

     

    ·Operational Continuity:

     

    Management understands that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations. Accordingly, this interim financial information for the period ended March 31, 2025 was prepared based on the assumption of operational continuity.

     

    2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

     

    2.a) Declaration of conformity

     

    The individual and consolidated interim financial information ("interim financial information") was prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in Brazil issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee ("CPC"), approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM") and the Federal Accounting Council ("CFC") and in accordance with the International Financial Standards Reporting ("IFRS"), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), currently referred to as IFRS Accounting Standards, and evidences all relevant information specific to the financial statements, and only this information corresponds to that used by the Company's Management in its activities. The consolidated financial information is identified as “Consolidated” and the individual financial information of the Parent Company is identified as “Parent Company”.

     

     

    2.b) Basis of presentation

     

    The individual and consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on historical cost and adjusted to reflect: (i) the fair value measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), as well as pension plan assets; and (ii) impairment losses. When IFRS and CPCs allow the option between acquisition cost or another measurement criterion, the acquisition cost criterion was used.

     

    The preparation of this financial information requires Management to use certain accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported on the balance sheet date of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses may differ from future actual results. The assumptions used are based on historical data and other factors considered relevant and are reviewed by the Company's Management.

     

    Consolidated and individual Interim Financial Statements

    (In thousands of Reais, unless stated otherwise)

     
      

     

    These interim financial information has been prepared and is being presented in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) - "Interim Financial Reporting" and IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting", in accordance with the standards established by the CVM. This interim financial information does not include all requirements for annual or full financial statements, therefore, it should be read together with the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

     

    In this context, these interim financial information were not repeated, either due to redundancy or relevance in relation to that already presented in the following explanatory notes to the annual financial statements:

     

    Note 2.d - Material accounting policies

    Note 2.f - Adoption of new requirements, standards, amendments and interpretations

    Note 9.b - Additional information on direct and indirect subsidiaries

    Note 9.c - Main events occurred in subsidiaries in 2024 and 2023

    Note 11.a - Assets with indefinite useful lives

    Note 12 – Impairment of assets

    Note 19 - Taxes in installments

    Note 22.a - Transactions with controllers

    Note 22.c - Other unconsolidated related parties

    Note 30 - Employee benefits

    Note 31 - Commitments

    Note 32 - Insurance

     

    These individual and consolidated financial information were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 8, 2025.

     

    2.c) Functional currency and presentation currency

     

    The accounting records included in the financial information of each of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the main economic environment in which each subsidiary operates ("functional currency"). The parent company's interim and consolidated information are presented in Brazilian reals (BRL), which is the Company's functional and reporting currency.

     

    Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions or valuation, in which the items are remeasured. The balances of the asset and liability accounts are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2025, US$ 1 was equivalent to BRL 5.7422 (BRL 6.1923 on December 31, 2024) and € 1 was equivalent to BRL 6.1993 (BRL 6.4363 on December 31, 2024), according to rates extracted from Banco Central do Brasil website.

     

    2.d) Statement of added value

     

    According to Federal Law 11.638/07, the presentation of the statement of added value is required for all publicly-held companies. These statement were prepared in accordance with CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added. IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement, therefore, it is presented as additional information for IFRS’s purposes.

    The credits arise mainly from ICMS (Brazilian State Value-Added Tax), PIS (Social Integration Program Contribution) and COFINS (Contribution for Social Security Financing) – both of which comprise Brazilian federal taxes on business revenues levied on purchases of inputs and fixed assets, according to current legislation. These credits are carried out naturally through compensations with debts of the same nature or with other federal taxes, in the cases authorized by the legislation. Based on analyzes and projections made by Management, the Company does not foresee risks of non-realization of these tax credits.

    ·      Covenants

     

    The Company's debt contracts provide for compliance with certain non-financial obligations, as well as maintenance of specific performance parameters and indicators, such as the disclosure of audited financial statements according to regulatory deadlines or having early maturity declared if the net debt to EBITDA indicator reaches the levels specified in these contracts.

     

    Until now, the Company is compliant with the financial and non-financial obligations (covenants) of its current contracts.

     

     

    13.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     

    13.a) Identification and valuation of financial instruments

     

    The Company may operate with several financial instruments, with an emphasis on cash and cash equivalents, including investments, marketable securities, accounts receivables from customers, accounts payables to suppliers and loans and financing. Additionally, we may also operate with financial derivatives, such as swap, exchange rate swap, swap interest and commodity derivatives.

     

    Considering the nature of the instruments, fair value is basically determined by using quotations in the open capital market of Brazil and the Commodities and Futures Exchange. The amounts recorded in current assets and liabilities have immediate liquidity or short-term maturity. Considering the term and characteristics of these instruments, the book values approximate the fair values.

    13.b) Financial risk management

     

    The Company follows risk management strategies, with guidelines regarding the risks incurred by the company.

     

    The nature and general position of financial risks are regularly monitored and managed in order to assess results and financial impact on cash flow. Credit limits and the hedge quality of counterparties are also periodically reviewed.

     

    Market risks are hedged when considered necessary to support the corporate strategy or when it is necessary to maintain the financial flexibility level.

     

    The Company believes it is exposed to exchange rate and interest rate risk, market price, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

     

    The Company can manage some of the risks through the use of derivative instruments, not associated with any speculative trading or short selling.

     

     

    i)Foreign exchange risk

     

    The exposure arises mainly from the existence of assets and liabilities denominated in dollars, since the Company's functional currency is substantially the Real and is called natural foreign exchange exposure. The net exposure is the result of offsetting the natural foreign exchange exposure by hedging instruments adopted by the Company.

    The consolidated net exposure is shown below:

    The Company uses Hedge Accounting as a strategy, as well as derivative financial instruments to protect future cash flows.

     

    Sensitivity analysis of Derivative Financial Instruments and Consolidated Foreign Exchange Exposure

     

    The Company evaluated two different scenarios for the analysis of the exchange rate impact: Scenario 1 projects a horizon of increased currency volatility, and Scenario 2 predicts a horizon of appreciation of the Real against the Dollar. The calculation was based on the closing exchange rate on March 31, 2025, using assumptions based on a dispersion calculation that considers both historical variations in exchange rates and projections developed by management.

     

    The currencies used in the sensitivity analysis and their respective scenarios are shown below:

     

                    03/31/2025
    Currency   Exchange rate   Probable scenario   Scenario 1   Scenario 2
    USD    5.7422   5.8559   5.8582   4.8258
    EUR    6.1993   6.6558   6.4172   5.4127
    USD x EUR    1.0796   1.1366   1.1095   0.9250

     

    The effects on the result, considering scenarios 1 and 2, are shown below:

    i)Interest rate risk

     

    This risk stems from financial investments, loans, and financing and debentures in short and long terms linked to pre-fixed and post-fixed interest rates of CDI, TJLP, SOFR, exposing these financial assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations as demonstrated in the sensitivity analysis chart below.

     

    Sensitivity analysis of interest rate changes

     

    Below, we present the sensitivity analysis to risks related to interest rates. The Company considered two different scenarios to assess the impact of variations in these rates: Scenario 1 predicts a horizon of rising interest rates, and Scenario 2 projects a reduction horizon. To carry out the calculation, the closing rates on March 31, 2025 were considered as references, based on a dispersion model, which considers not only the historical variations in interest rates, but also detailed projections by the management.

     

    This approach allows a comprehensive and precise assessment of potential economic impacts arising from interest rate fluctuations.

     

                Consolidated
                03/31/2025
    Interest   Possible scenarios   Scenario 1   Scenario 2
    CDI   14.15%   15.55%   12.75%

    (*) The sensitivity analysis is based on the assumption of maintaining as a probable scenario the market values on March 31, 2025 recorded in the Company's assets and liabilities.

     

    i)Market price risk

     

    The Company is also exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity and input prices. In line with its risk management policy, risk mitigation strategies involving commodities may be used to reduce cash flow volatility. These mitigation strategies may incorporate derivative instruments, predominantly forward, futures, and options transactions.

     

    Below are the price risk protection instruments, as shown in the following topics:

     

    a) Cash flow hedge accounting – “Platts” index

     

    To better reflect the accounting effects of the "Platts" hedge strategy on the result, CSN Mineração opted to formally designate the hedge and, consequently, adopted hedge accounting for the iron ore derivative as a hedge accounting instrument for its highly probable future iron ore sales. As a result, the mark-to-market arising from the "Platts" volatility will be temporarily recorded in shareholders' equity and will be taken to the income statement when the sales occur according to the contracted evaluation period. This allows the recognition of "Platts" volatility on iron ore sales to be recognized at the same time.

     

    Consolidated and individual Interim Financial Statements

    (In thousands of Reais, unless stated otherwise)

     
      

    The Company has periodically reviewed market scenarios to assess its exposure to iron ore price risk to ensure adequate coverage of market price fluctuations. This process involves monitoring fluctuations and trends in global prices, in addition to considering economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the value of this commodity.

     

    The table below shows the result of the derivative instrument up to March 31, 2025:

     

                    03/31/2025   03/31/2025   03/31/2024   03/31/2025   03/31/2024   03/31/2025   03/31/2024

    The movement of the amounts related to cash flow hedge accounting - "Platts" index recorded in shareholders' equity on March 31, 2025 is shown as follows:

     

                   
      12/31/2024   Movement   Realization   03/31/2025
    Cash flow hedge–“Platts”      71,597   (40,578)    31,019
     Income tax and social contribution on cash flow hedge     (24,347)    13,800   (10,547)
    Fair Value of cash flow hedge - Platts, net  -     47,250   (26,778)    20,472

     

    The cash flow hedge - "Platts" index was fully effective since the contracting of derivative instruments.

     

    To support the above-mentioned designations, the Company prepared formal documentation indicating the manner which the designation of cash flow hedge accounting - "Platts" index aligned with CSN's risk management objectives and strategy, identifying the hedge instruments used, the hedge object, the nature of the risk to be protected, and demonstrating the expectation of high effectiveness of the designated relationships. Iron ore derivative instruments ("Platts" index) were designated in amounts equivalent to the portion of future sales, comparing the designated amounts with the expected and approved amounts in the budgets of the Management and Board.

    b) Cash flow hedge accounting

     

    Foreign Exchange Hedge Accounting

     

    The Company has iron ore derivatives operations, contracted by the subsidiary CSN Mineração, in order to reduce the volume of its exposure to the commodity.

     

    With the objective of better reflecting the accounting effects of the foreign exchange hedge strategy in the results, CSN and its subsidiary CSN Mineração designated part of their dollar liabilities as a hedge instrument for their future exports. As a result, the exchange rate variation from designated liabilities will be temporarily recorded in shareholders' equity and will be transferred to the income statement when the respective exports occur, thus allowing the recognition of dollar fluctuations on the liability and exports to be recorded at the same time. It is emphasized that the adoption of this hedge accounting does not imply the contracting of any financial instrument.

     

    The table below presents the summary of hedging relationships as of March 31, 2025:

    ii)Credit risks

     

    Exposure to credit risks with financial institutions considers the parameters established under the CSN’s financial policy. The Company's practices a detailed analysis of the equity and financial situation of its customers and suppliers, the establishment of a credit limit and the permanent monitoring of its outstanding balance.

     

    Regarding financial investments, the Company only makes investments in institutions for which a low credit risk was assessed by credit rating agencies. Since part of the resources is invested in repurchase agreements that are backed by Brazilian government bonds, there is also exposure to the credit risk of the Brazilian State.

     

    With regards to exposure credit risk under accounts receivable and other receivables, the Company has a credit risk committee where each new customer is individually analyzed for their financial condition before credit limits and payment terms are granted. This is periodically reviewed according to the procedures specific to each business area.

     

    iii)Liquidity risk

     

    It is the risk that the Company does not have sufficient net resources to honor its financial commitments, due to a mismatch in terms of volume between the expected receipts and payments.

     

    To manage cash liquidity in national and foreign currency, assumptions of future disbursements and receipts are established and monitored daily by the Treasury area. The payment schedules of long-term installments of loans and financing and debentures are presented in note 12.

     

    The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including interest:

    Sensitivity analysis for stock price risks

     

    We present below the sensitivity analysis for the risks related to the stock price variation. The Company evaluated two different scenarios for the impact of fluctuations in prices: Scenario 1 (optimistic extreme) considers a horizon of deterioration in price volatility, and Scenario 2 (pessimistic extreme) predicts a horizon of price appreciation. The calculation was based on the closing price of the shares on March 31, 2025, using assumptions based on both the dispersion of historical variations in prices and projections prepared by management.

     

    The effects on the result, considering the probable scenarios, 1 and 2 are shown below:

    The average rates used in measuring new lease liabilities in the consolidated and parent company are demonstrated in the table below:

     

        03/31/2025
    Contract term (in years)   Incremental Rate (p.a.)
    1   15.43%
    2   18.02%
    3   16.76%
    5   14.76%

    Lease payments not recognized as liabilities:

     

    The Company chose not to recognize lease liabilities under contracts with a term of less than 12 months and those involvind low-value assets. Payments made for these contracts are recognized as expenses when incurred.

     

    The Company has a lease agreement for port terminals (TECAR and TECON) and a concession agreement for the exploration and development of the public rail freight service in the Northeast Network I (FTL) which, even if they establish minimum performances, it is not possible to determine their cash flow since these payments are fully variable and will only be known when they occur. In such cases, payments will be recognized as expenses when incurred.

    The Company's corporate structure includes foreign subsidiaries, the income of which is taxed in the countries in which they are incorporated at rates lower than those applicable in Brazil. In the period between 2020 and 2025, these subsidiaries did not generate profits subject to additional taxation in Brazil by income tax and social contribution. The Company, based on the position of its legal advisors, assessed only as possible the probability of loss in case of possible tax challenge and, therefore, no provision was recognized in the Financial Statement.

     

    Furthermore, Management evaluated the precepts of IFRIC 23 - "Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments" and recognized in 2021 the credit for the unconstitutionality of IRPJ and CSLL incidence on SELIC interest of mora values received due to tax undue repetition.

    (1)In March 2025, CSN was informed of the decision orders that partially ratified the compensations made with credits arising from the final and unappealable lawsuit that recognized the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS values in the calculation basis of PIS and Cofins contributions. According to the federal inspection, approximately 20% of the credit authorized by the company would lack liquidity and certainty, and, therefore, could not compose the amount to be offset. In view of the decision-making orders, CSN presented manifestations of non-conformity to demonstrate the misconception of the assumptions adopted by the inspection and the liquidity and certainty of the completeness of the authorized credit. Finally, for the other processes related to the "Big Jump" theme, the prognoses remain the same (possible).

     

    In the 1st quarter of 2021, the Company was notified of the initiation of an arbitration proceeding based on an alleged breach of iron ore supply contracts. The counterparty's request at that time was around US$ 1 billion, which the Company, in addition to understanding that the allegations presented are unfounded due to the complete absence of damages, is also unaware of the bases for estimating said amount. The Company informs that it has prepared, together with its legal advisors, the response to the arbitration request and is currently developing its defense. It also clarifies that the discussions involve ongoing arbitration disputes initiated by both parties. It is also estimated that the arbitrations will be completed in 2 years. The relevance of the process for the Company is related to the value attributed to the cause and the possible financial impact.

    The Company has offered judicial guarantees (Surety Bond/Letter of Guarantee) in the total and updated amount on March 31, 2025 of BRL 10,414,896 (on December 31, 2024 BRL 10,620,316), as determined by the current procedural legislation.

     

    The evaluations carried out by legal advisors define these administrative and judicial proceedings as a possible risk of loss and are not provisioned in accordance with Management's judgment and accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
