First Quarter of 2025 Highlights
In the first quarter of 2025, Ternium reported a sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA driven by improved margins and steel and iron ore shipments. Cost per ton decreased due to the gradual consumption of lower-priced slabs and raw material inventories as well as to improvements in industrial operations efficiency, while a sequentially lower revenue per ton partially offset this cost reduction.
Ternium’s sales volume in Mexico decreased both sequentially and year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025. Uncertainty surrounding evolving U.S. trade policies continued to weight on shipments in the first quarter, primarily in the commercial steel market. However, the company’s sales to industrial customers remained relatively stable.
Shipments in the Brazilian steel market rose sequentially in the first quarter, rebounding from the seasonal slowdown in the fourth quarter. Year-over-year, sales volumes in Brazil grew by 9%, reflecting the successful ramp-up of Usiminas’ main blast furnace and increased domestic demand for steel products.
In the Southern Region, steel sales volumes remained relatively stable in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Year-over-year, the company reported a 32% rise in steel shipments during the first quarter, reflecting better activity in the Argentine steel market after a notably weak performance in the same period of 2024.
2
| ||||||||
In Other Markets, steel shipments rose by 36% sequentially in the first quarter partly as a result of the sale of steel slabs to third parties. Year-over-year, steel shipments declined by 14% in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower sales volume in the U.S. market.
Net income of $142 million in the first quarter of 2025 included a provision adjustment charge of $45 million in connection with the ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. This adjustment accounted for interest accrual and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dollar in the quarter. Excluding this charge, Adjusted Net Income amounted to $188 million.
Ternium reported a Net Cash position of $1.3 billion at the end of March 2025, down from $1.6 billion at the end of 2024. Cash provided by operations amounted to $207 million in the first quarter and capital expenditures were $518 million, mainly in connection with the ongoing expansion at the company’s industrial center in Pesquería, Mexico.
Following a review of the project, the company estimates the total cost of its expansion plan in Pesquería to reach $4.0 billion, a 16% increase from a prior estimate in February 2024, primarily due to higher prices for assembly and construction, larger volumes of structures and civil works, as well as higher costs associated with extended deadlines. Ternium now expects the new steel slab mill in Pesquería will begin operations by the fourth quarter of 2026.
Outlook
Ternium expects a sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025, driven mainly by higher realized steel prices and slightly lower cost per ton, with relatively stable steel shipments.
In Mexico, the company anticipates volumes in the second quarter to remain subdued due to the unresolved tariff issue, which impacts operational and investment decisions in the steel value chain.
In Brazil, Usiminas anticipates sequentially stable steel shipments in the second quarter of 2025, amid resilient steel demand. The issue of unfair trade practices remains unresolved in this market, with notable year-over-year increases in imports during the first quarter of 2025.
In Argentina, the company expects a sequential increase in shipments in the second quarter of 2025 due to improvements in macroeconomic conditions.

Steel Segment
In the first quarter of 2025, the Steel Segment’s shipments and net sales rose slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Increased sales volumes in Brazil and Other Markets were partially offset by lower sales volumes in Mexico. Realized steel prices edged down slightly on a sequential basis.
Year-over-year, shipments in the Steel Segment remained relatively stable, while net sales declined by 19% in the first quarter of 2025. Lower sales volumes in Mexico and Other Markets were largely offset by higher shipments in Brazil and the Southern Region. Steel revenue per ton fell across all regions due to lower steel prices.

In Mexico, steel shipments had a sequential decline in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a weaker commercial market. In the case of the industrial market, demand from industrial customers remained relatively stable. Year-over-year, shipments declined in the period, mainly due to a soft commercial market and a slight decrease in sales to industrial customers.
In Brazil, shipments rose sequentially during the first quarter reflecting higher demand for steel products after a seasonally low fourth quarter. Year-over-year, sales volumes increased in the first quarter reflecting the successful ramp up of Usiminas’ main blast furnace and a stronger demand for steel products in the country.
In the Southern Region, steel shipments remained relatively stable sequentially in the first quarter. Year-over-year, sales volumes showed a significant rebound in this period, reflecting better activity in the Argentine steel market after a notably weak performance in the same period of 2024.
In Other Markets, sales volumes rose sequentially in the first quarter partly as a result of the sale of steel slabs to third parties. On a year-over-year basis, shipments decreased in the period, largely reflecting lower sales volumes in the U.S. market.

increase in shipments supported by higher production levels in Mexico and Brazil. This was mostly offset by a decrease in revenue per ton, reflecting the year-over-year decline in iron ore prices.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decrease in margins in the first quarter of 2025 resulted from
higher cost per ton, partially offset by higher realized iron ore prices.
Year-over-year, margins contracted due to lower realized iron ore prices, partially offset by a moderate decline in cost per ton.

Net Financial Results
Net financial results for the first quarter of 2025 recorded a $63 million gain. The net foreign exchange result for the period was a $31 million gain, driven mainly by the Brazilian Real’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar. This had a favorable effect on Usiminas’ U.S. dollar-denominated financial debt, as its functional currency is the Brazilian Real, as well as on
Ternium Brazil’s long local currency position. In addition, Ternium Argentina’s divestment of Argentine government bond holdings resulted in a gain of $30 million in the period, due to the recycling of changes in the fair value of financial instruments from Other Comprehensive Income to Financial Results.

Net Income
In the first quarter of 2025, Ternium recorded net income of $142 million, which included a provision
adjustment charge of $45 million for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. This adjustment accounted for interest accrual and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dollar in the quarter. Excluding this, Adjusted Net Income amounted to $188 million, on operating income of $132 million and a financial result gain of $63 million.
Adjusted Equity Holder’s Net Income was $108 million in the first quarter, or $55 cents 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.
