FINANCIAL RESULTS 2Q22

 

August 15, 2022

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

São Paulo, August 15, 2022 - Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("CSN") (B3: CSNA3) (NYSE: SID) discloses its second quarter of 2022 (2Q22) financial results in Brazilian Reais, with all financial statements consolidated in accordance with accounting practices 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 international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

The comments address the Company's consolidated results in the second quarter of 2022 (2Q22) and the comparisons are in relation to the second quarter of 2021 (2Q21) and the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22). The BRL/USD exchange rate was 5.00 on 06/30/2021; 4.74 on 03/31/2022 and 5.24 on 06/30/2022.

 

 

Operational and financial highlights of 2Q22

 

	DIVERSIFICATION HELPING TO MITIGATE THE INSTABILITY INCREASE IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS   Although the mining segment was impacted by a lower price realization in 2Q22, the steel industry was able to present a resilient performance, along with other businesses, such as cement, logistics and energy that also had a solid operational performance. As a result, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached BRL3.3 billion with an EBITDA margin of 31%.		INCREASED PRODUCTION AND SALES IN MINING, DESPITE LOWER PRICE REALIZATION   The quarter was led by a price realization below than what was seen in the previous quarter, due to the retraction of Platts price, the increase in freight cost and the negative effect of the provisioned price adjustment. As a result, the mining segment had an Adjusted EBITDA of BRL931 million, with a margin of 36%.
	PRICE INCREASE IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY HELPED TO OFFSET THE GROWING UNCERTAINTIES VERIFIED IN THE QUARTER   A sharp price increase at the beginning of the quarter helped to offset the cost pressure and weaker volume shown in the period, mainly due to a downtrend in the European market and an irregular behavior in the local market. Therefore, the EBITDA margin of the segment remained at 25%, even with the costs pressure.		TRANSFORMATION IN THE ENERGY SEGMENT   CSN has made 3 acquisitions in the energy segment recently, consolidating its strategy of seeking self-sufficiency and competitiveness. This movement is aligned with the objective of supporting the growth of the Group's operations and the CSN's energy pillar.
	STRONG RECOVERY IN THE CEMENT SEGMENT   After a weaker start of 2022, due to seasonality and cost inflation, the cement segment presented a strong recovery in 2Q22, with both volume and price growth. As a result, the Adjusted EBITDA in the segment showed a strong expansion of 64% compared to the previous quarter, with a 34% margin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consolidated Table - Highlights

 

 

¹ Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization, taxes on income, net financial result, income from investment participation, income from other operating income/expenses and includes a proportional participation of 37.27% of the EBITDA of the joint subsidiary MRS Logística.

² Adjusted Ebitda Margin is calculated from Adjusted Ebitda divided by Management Net Revenue.

³ Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Cash/Availability consider 37.27% of MRS, in addition to not considering Forfaiting and Cashed Risk transactions.

 

Consolidated Results

 

·

Net revenue accrued BRL10,566 million in 2Q22, representing a 10.2% decline when compared to 1Q22. This result is mainly a consequence of Platts’ negative price adjustments in the mining segment, that ended up offsetting the higher sales volume in the period.

 

·

The cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled BRL7,560 million in 2Q22, representing an increase of 3.7% compared to 1Q22, as a result of historical price increases of some raw materials such as coal and coke, as well as higher costs of fleet movement in the mining and steel operations, with the rise of fuel prices.

 

·

The decrease in revenue, with higher cost pressure, negatively impacted the gross margin that reached 28% in 2Q22 and was 9.6 p.p. lower than 1Q22. This performance mainly reflects the price contraction observed in the mining segment.

 

·

In 2Q22, sales, general and administrative expenses totaled BRL651 million, a level 10.8% higher than 1Q22, as a consequence of the better commercial activity observed in the period for the mining and cement segments, generating a higher freight expense, further enhanced by the increase in the C3 route in the quarter.

 

·

The group of other operating income and expenses was negative in BRL638 million in 2Q22, mainly affected by the hedge accounting cash flow operations that totaled BRL342 million in the period.

 

·

The financial result was BRL890 million negative in 2Q22, representing a 21% decline compared to the previous quarter, as a consequence of the currency exchange rate, but partially offset by the devaluation of Usiminas shares.

 

 

 

 

 

·

The equity result was positive at BRL54 million in 2Q22, a performance 184% higher than in the previous quarter, as a consequence of the MRS results recovery of levels closer to those recorded last year.

 

 

 

·

In 2Q22, the Company's net income was BRL369 million, a result 73% lower than last quarter, highlighting the Platts price adjustment impact in the Company, which was partially offset by solid steel results and record cement results.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

 

* The Company discloses its adjusted EBITDA excluding participation in investments and other operating income (expenses), understanding that it should not be considered in the calculation of recurring Operational Cash generation.

 

·

In 2Q22, Adjusted EBITDA was BRL3,262 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.7% or 9.2 p.p. below than last quarter. This reduction in profitability is a direct consequence of the performance in the mining segment, with the lower realization of iron ore prices during the period. When you look at others segments, there is stability in the steel industry and a strong recovery in profitability for cement, which once again presented margins above 30% (it was 34.2% in 2Q22).

 

Adjusted EBITDA (BRLMM) and Adjusted Margin¹ (%)

 

¹ Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated from the division between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Revenue, which considers 100% of the stakes in CSN Mineração's consolidation and 37.27% in MRS.

 

Adjusted Cash Flow¹

 

Adjusted Cash Flow in 2Q22 reached BRL830 million in 2Q22, reversing the negative result observed in the previous quarter with the normalization of working capital and the seasonality in the payment of taxes verified in 1Q22. Additionally, the cash flow of 2Q22 was positively impacted by the reduction in working capital that was able to mitigate the lower operating result with a reduction in accounts receivable, even considering increases in CAPEX and financial expenses.

 

Adjusted cash flow¹ in 2Q22 (BRLMM)

 

¹ The concept of adjusted cash flow is calculated from adjusted Ebitda, subtracting Ebitda from Jointly Controlled Companies, CAPEX, IT, Financial Results and Changes in Assets and Liabilities², excluding the effect of the Glencore advance.

² Adjusted Working Capital is composed by the change in Net Working Capital, plus the change in accounts of long-term assets and liabilities and disregarding the net change in IT and SC.

 

Debt

 

On June 30, 2022, consolidated net debt reached BRL21,034 million, with the maintenance of high cash levels, and with the leverage indicator measured by the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio reaching 1.31x. This increase in leverage is a consequence of the exchange rate variation and disbursements made in the period, such as the payment of dividends and interests on equity, in addition to the acquisition of the Santa Ana and Sacre SHPs.

 

 

 

Debt (BRLBillion) and

Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA (x)

¹ Net Debt / EBITDA: To calculate the debt, please consider the final dollar of each period and for net debt and EBITDA the average dollar of the period.

 

The Company remains very active in its objective of extending its debt: during the second quarter of 2022, CSN concluded a long-term operation with SACE in the amount of USD 375 MM through its subsidiary CMIN, which also issued its 2^nd infrastructure debenture operation of BRL1.4 billion. These resources will be used in capacity expansion projects in the mining segment.

 

Amortization Schedule (BRLBi)

¹ IFRS: does not consider participation in MRS (37.27%).

² Gross Debt/Management Net considers participation in MRS (37.27%) and gross interest.

³ Medium term after completion of the Liability Management Plan.

 

Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

The accrued net foreign exchange exposure in the consolidated Balance Sheet of 2Q22 was USD 502 million, as shown in the table below, in line with the company's policy of minimizing the impacts of exchange rate volatility on its results. The Hedge Accounting adopted by CSN correlates with the projected dollar exports flow of future debt maturities in the same currency. Therefore, the dollar debt exchange variation is temporarily recorded in the equity, being brought to the result when the dollar revenues from said exports occur.

 

 

 

 

Investments

 

A total of BRL838 million was invested in 2Q22, an increase of 20% compared to the previous quarter, as a result of the advances in mining expansion projects (Itabirito, tailings filtration and port expansion), as well as repairs of UPV's steel operations and coke batteries.

 

 

Net Working Capital

 

The Net Working Capital applied to the business totaled BRL4,301 million in 2Q22, a decrease of 2% when compared to 1Q22, with the reduction in receivables partially offset by punctually high inventories due to the costs of the raw material.

 

The calculation of the Net Working Capital applied to the business does not take Glencore's advance, as shown in the following table:

 

¹ Other CCL Assets: Considers employees advances and other accounts receivable.

² Other CCL Liabilities: Considers other accounts payable, dividends payable, installment taxes and other provisions.

³ Inventories: Does not consider the effect of the provision for inventory losses. For the calculation of the SME, warehouse balances are not considered

 

Acquisitions in the Energy Sector

 

Recently, the Company announced the acquisition of 3 different assets in the energy segment, consolidating its strategy of achieving self-sufficiency in energy. On April 8, 2022, the Company announced to the market the acquisition of SHP's Santa Ana and Sacre, which has an installed capacity of 36.3 MW, with the closing of this acquisition occurring on 06/30/22 and the assets being directed to cement operations. Also, the acquisition of the Quebra-Queixo Hydroelectric Powerplant announcement was made on 07/25/2022 and the conclusion is still pending on regulatory approvals. This asset has an installed capacity of 120 MW (guaranteed capacity of 57.4 MW) and will support the energy supply for mining expansion projects. Finally, on 07/29/2022, the Company won the privatization auction of CEEE-G, a relevant renewable generation platform in Rio Grande do Sul, with 15 own assets (HEPs and SHPs), a total installed capacity of 920 MW and an average physical guaranteed capacity of 399 MW, along with 11 minor participations and 3 wind projects under development.

Steel Result

 

According to the World Steel Association (WSA), global crude steel production totaled 490.3 million tons (Mt) in the quarter, 4.2% below the same period in 2021 as a result of the impacts from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the outcome of stricter social distancing policies in some Chinese cities. China produced 57% of the global volume (280.1 Mt), which represents a reduction of 3.8% compared to the same period in 2021. Despite this slowdown, the Chinese government has sought to increase investment in infrastructure through economic stimulus that should keep demand at a high level throughout this year. Brazil produced 8.8 Mt in the quarter, which corresponds to an annual decline of 6.4%, as a result of the cost pressure suffered by the industry in the first half, in addition to the increase in uncertainties regarding the demand sustainability. For 2022, the global market is expected to have a stable production of approximately 1,840 Mton.

 

Steel Production (thousand tons)

 

CSN’s plate production on the 2Q22 totaled 890,000 tons, a stable performance compared to the previous quarter. However, the production of flat laminates, our main market of operation, reached 767 kton, which represents a contraction of 7.3% in relation to 1Q22, due to planned maintenance on the production line.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sales Volume (Kton) - Steel

 

Total sales reached 1,067.000 tons in the second quarter of 2022, a volume 7.8% lower than last quarter. When analyzing the evolution in the different markets, it is noticed that domestic sales totaled 724,000 tons of steel products and were 4% lower than in 1Q22, as a result of uncertainties regarding price dynamics and demand behavior. In the foreign market, 2Q22 sales accrued 342,000 tons, 15% below the 1Q22 volume, as a consequence of a lower commercial activity in the operations of SWT and Lusosider, resulting from the lower consumption of steel in the European market and all the instability brought by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In the quarter, 18,000 tons were exported directly, and 324,000 tons were sold by our subsidiaries abroad, with 67,000 tons by LLC (25% quarterly increase), 183,000 tons by SWT and 75,000 tons by Lusosider.

 

In relation to the total sales volume, in 2Q22, compared to the previous quarter, the automotive (+40%), home appliances (+40%) and general industry (+35%) segments were the main positive highlights of the quarter, and ended up compensating for the more uncertain period experienced by the distribution sector.

 

According to ANFAVEA (National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the production in the second quarter registered 596,000 units, a 20% increase when compared to last quarter and an 8.1% increase compared to the same period of 2021. The Association also projects a 4.1% growth in production for 2022, with a production of 2,340,000 vehicles units.   According to the Brazil Steel Institute (IABr) data, crude steel production in the quarter accrued 8.8Mt, a performance 4.7% lower than in the same period last year. Apparent Consumption was 6.1 Mton, a 15.6% retraction compared to 2Q21. Also, the Steel Industry Confidence Indicator (ICIA) of June was 45.4 points, a drop of 5.7 p.p. compared to March and below the 50-point dividing line, which indicates lower confidence for the next six months in the local market.   According to the IBGE data, the monthly index of household appliance production in the first two months of the quarter recorded a 16.9% decline compared to the same period of the previous year. For this year, the home appliances market is expected to have a moderate growth after the strong sales volume seen in the sector in 2020 and 2021.

Sale by Market Segment

 

 

·

Net revenue in Steel reached BRL7,706 million in 2Q22, 2% lower than in 1Q22. As commented earlier, the increase in the sales price was eventually offset by the reduction in the volume sold. In this sense, the average domestic market price in 2Q22 was 5.3% higher than in 1Q22, a performance that accompanies the increase in the prices of raw materials for steel production. Moreover, the average foreign market price was 7.1% higher compared to last quarter, a performance pulled by U.S. and Germany domestic prices, which showed a strong growth at the beginning of the quarter.

 

·

The cost of consumed plate in 2Q22 reached BRL4,386/t, which represents a 4.5% increase over the previous quarter as a result of (i) the increase in the coal price, (ii) the increase in the price of gas used for the manufacture of steel, and (iii) the lower dilution of fixed costs due to the lower volume of production.

·

The Company's steel Adjusted EBITDA reached BRL1,905 million in 2Q22 and was 5.8% lower than in 1Q22, with an EBITDA margin of 24.7% (-0.9 p.p.). Despite the lower profitability and increased cost pressure of some raw materials at the beginning of the year, this performance reinforces the Company's resilience and the ability to generate results even in an environment of inflationary pressure and economic uncertainties.

Mining Result

 

The quarter in China was marked by the maintenance of stimulus to the infrastructure sector, lower than expected performance in the real estate market and maintenance of the Covid Zero policy that eventually resulted in the isolation of several major cities, bringing instability and uncertainty regarding the economic impacts and prospects. In addition, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the inflationary effects and the increase of interest rates have also backed-up the raising concern about iron ore demand and energy supply to European countries, contributing yet another component of instability to the transoceanic market. In this context, the price of iron ore ended 2Q22 on a downward trend, returning to November/21 levels and undergoing adjustments throughout the quarter. However, the 2Q22 average price did not vary as much, performing on USD 137.9/dmt (Platts, Fe62%, N. China), 2.6% lower than 1Q22 (USD 141.6/dmt), but 31% below 2Q21 (USD 200.01/dmt).

 

In relation to sea freight, the BCI-C3 Route (Tubarão-Qingdao) observed a more significant impact, reaching an average of $30.2/wmt in 2Q22, which represented a 32% increase compared to the previous quarter, mainly driven by the higher bulk costs.

 

Total Production - Mining (thousand tones)

Sales Volume - Mining (thousand tons)

 

 

·

Iron ore production totaled 8,283 ktons in 2Q22, an 29% increase compared to 1Q22, as a result of improved production with the reduction of impacts of rain volumes in the period.

 

·

Sales volume reached 7,574 ktons in 2Q22, a performance 9.3% higher than the previous quarter as a result of the drier period observed throughout the quarter, enabling an increase in port shipments. To contextualize this performance, the sales volume for the foreign market was 15.2% higher than in 1Q22. However, it is important to highlight that this performance could have been even better if it were not for the still high volume of rainfall in April, especially in the State of Rio de Janeiro where the Company’s Port is located, delaying a more consistent recovery.

 

·

In 2Q22, net revenue totaled BRL2,608 million and was 32.5% lower than in the last quarter, as a result of a lower price realization that offset the increase in production and commercial activity presented in the period. Unitary net revenue was $72.03 per wet ton, down 33% from 1Q22, a performance that reflects not only the lower price of the index benchmark, but also the impact of more expensive sea freight and a negative realization of provisioned price from previous quarters in the period.

 

·

The cost of goods sold from mining totaled BRL1,832 million in 2Q22, an increase of 14.8% compared to the previous quarter, as a result of the higher volume produced in the period, in addition to the higher costs of diesel used in the mine fleet and the increase in rail transport costs. The C1 Cost was USD 24.3/t in 2Q22, 3.8% higher when compared to 1Q22, mainly a result of the factors mentioned above. This ended up compensating for the greater dilution of fixed cost due to the increase in the volume produced, the exchange rate impact and the reduction of the cost in TECAR.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA reached BRL931 million in 2Q22, with quarterly EBITDA margin of 35.7% or 27.6 p.p. lower than that recorded in 1Q22. The lower performance of the realized prices, together with increases in C1 costs, freight and greater participation of third-party volumes were the main responsible for the decrease in mining margins in the period.

 

Cement Result

 

After a challenging start of 2022 with a seasonality accentuated by the high volume of rainfall in January and February, the cement segment continued to face challenges in 2Q22 with raw material cost pressures and commercial activity limited by high inflation and interest rates. However, it has already been possible to verify a resumption of construction and, according to the National Union of the Cement Industry (SNIC), cement sales reached 15.9 Mton in 2Q22 and was 6.7% higher compared to the previous quarter, but still 3.0% below the same period from last year. In this context, the real estate market has been resilient with the increase in real estate units sold throughout the quarter, according to the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC), and the Industrial Entrepreneur Confidence Index (ICEI) presenting values above 50 in all indicators.

 

in the case of CSN Cimentos, the recovery came from both commercial activity and the strong price adjustment applied at the beginning of the quarter, an adjustment that was necessary to offset the higher production costs in the period. Sales on the 2Q22 accrued 1,261 kton and were 6% higher than in the previous quarter, as a result of the assertive commercial strategy, in addition to seasonality, with a drier quarter.

 

Sales Volume - Cements (thousand tones)

 

* Alhandra's operations were integrated in September 2021.

 

·

Net revenue reached an all-time high of BRL475 million in 2Q22, a performance 23.1% higher than last quarter, driven by volume recovery with higher prices applied in the period.

 

·

Unitary costs also rose in the quarter as a result of the price increase of imported coke and freight distribution costs.

 

·

After all, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 64.1% compared to the previous quarter, reaching BRL163 million in 2Q22 and with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.2%, or 8.6 p.p. above the margin recorded in 1Q22. This improvement reflects the Company's ability to generate results even in a period of inflationary pressure, highlighting not only the strength of the brand, but also all the operational efficiency of CSN's plants.

 

Logistics Result

 

Rail Logistics: In 2Q22, net revenue reached BRL592 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of BRL298 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 50.3%. Compared to 1Q22, net revenue increased 30% due to increased prices of transported goods. In the same comparison line, Adjusted EBITDA was 42% higher.

 

Port Logistics: In 2Q22, 308,000 tons of steel products were shipped by Sepetiba Tecon, in addition to 15,000 containers, 4,000 tons of general cargo and 219,000 tons of bulk. Compared to the previous quarter, the two most significant variations were in the volume of steel products, with an increase of 24%, and in the bulk sales, which reported a 40% decline. As a result, net revenue of the port segment was 2% higher than in the last quarter, reaching BRL77 million in 2Q22. Additionally, there was a decline in sales and administrative expenses that led the Adjusted EBITDA to increase 21.5% in the quarter, reaching BRL24 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.3% in the period, or 5.1 p.p. superior.

 

Energy Result

 

In 2Q22, the volume of energy traded generated net revenue of BRL47 million, with negative adjusted EBITDA of BRL6 million. Compared to 1Q22, net revenue increased by 7% due to lower exposure to the short-term market. This reflects a greater adherence of energy consumption carried out by industrial plants, which also resulted in an EBITDA improvement of 17% in the period.

ESG PERFORMANCE - CSN

 

Starting in the second quarter of 2022, CSN begins a new format for disclosing its ESG shares and performance. The new model allows stakeholders to have access to key results, quarterly indicators and can now follow them effectively and even more agilely.

The information included in this release was selected based on relevance and materiality to the company. Quantitative indicators are presented in comparison with the period that best represents the metric for monitoring these. Thus, some are compared with the same quarter of the previous year, and others will be with the average of the previous period, ensuring a comparison based on seasonality and periodicity.

More detailed historical data on CSN's performance and initiatives can be verified in the Integrated Report 2021, released in June 2022 (esg.csn.com.br/nossa-empresa/relatorio-integrado-gri). The assurance of ESG indicators occurs annually for the closing of the Integrated Report, so the information contained in the quarterly releases is subject to adjustments arising from this process.

The Integrated Report 2021 released in June 2022, follows internationally recognized guidelines and frameworks, such as GRI, IIRC, SASB and TCFD and are presented with due correlation with the SDGs and Principles of the Global Compact.

With the completion of the survey and integration of CSN's risks and climate opportunities to its internal risk matrix, the Integrated Report for 2021 was the first in which CSN carried out the structured disclosure based on TCFD reporting format.

Also in this quarter, expanding the partnership between ITOCHU Corporation and CSN Group in 2021, the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Shell International Petroleum Company Ltd. to work jointly in the development of solutions for decarbonization of the operations of the CSN group. The main objective of this collaboration is the advancement in the decarbonization strategy through the application of new technologies focused mainly on the Steel and Mining segment.

Also, in this period the new ESG website was launched with the proposal to present in a more agile and transparent way the Actions and ESG indicators of the Company. Go to esg.csn.com.br.

Electrification of vehicles in Casa de Pedra and CSN Cimentos

 

In July 2022, in a ceremony held in Congonhas, 2 electric trucks produced by Sany were symbolic delivery and that will be used in the movement of tailings in the Casa de Pedra mine. These equipment’s are part of the company's fleet renewal plan. The forecast is initially to electrify the fleet of lighter vehicles within 4 years.

Also in a pioneering way, CSN Cimentos has partnered with Sany to test a 100% electric truck in its operations. The truck will be used in limestone mining activities, making the company the first cement company in Brazil to use electric trucks in its fleet.

 

Co-processing in Arcos

 

CSN Cimentos, arcos unit, started waste co-processing operations in June 2022.

The new process seeks to optimize the fossil fuel matrix, reducing the consumption of petroleum coke, with partial replacement by solid waste (pieces of wood, tire chip, among others), contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. With the implementation of the co-processing process in oven 2, the intensity of GHG emissions decreased by 5% compared to May 2022, considering only 15 days of operation. Thus, the expectation is that even more expressive results will be achieved in the coming months, with a significant reduction in emissions for the year 2022.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional “CSN”, also referred to as “Company”, is a publicly held company incorporated on April 9, 1941, under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, its subsidiaries, joint ventures, joint operations and associates are collectively referred to herein as the "Group”). The Company’s registered office is located in São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

 

CSN is listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A.- Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

The Group's main operating activities are divided into five (5) segments as follows:

 

·

Steel:

 

The Company’s main industrial facility is the Presidente Vargas Steelworks (“UPV”), located in the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro. This segment consolidates all operations related to the production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers, and galvanized steel. In addition to the facilities in Brazil, CSN has commercial operations in the United States and operations in Portugal and Germany to achieve markets and providing excellent services for final consumers. Its steel is used in home appliances, civil construction, package and automobile industries.

 

·

Mining:

 

The production of iron ore is developed in the cities of Congonhas, Ouro Preto and Belo Vale, State of Minas Gerais – by subsidiary CSN Mineração.

Iron ore is sold basically in the international market, especially in Europe and Asia. The prices charged in these markets are historically cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations over short periods of time, driven by several factors related to global demand, strategies adopted by the major steel producers, and the foreign exchange rate. All these factors are beyond the Company’s control. The ore transportation is carried out through the Terminal de Carvão e Minérios from the Itaguai Port– (“TECAR”), a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals that comprise the Itaguai Port, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Imports of coal and coke are also carried out through this terminal by provision of services by CSN Mineração to CSN. The Company´s mining activities also comprises of tin exploitation, which is based in the State of Rondônia, to supply the needs of UPV. The excess of raw material is sold to subsidiaries and third parties.

 

As a pioneer in the use of technologies that result in the possibility of stacking the tailings generated in the iron ore production process, the Company has had its iron ore production since January 2020, 100% independent of tailings dams. After significant investments in recent years to raise the level of reliability, mischaracterization and dry stacking, the Company has moved on to a scenario in which 100% of its waste goes through a dry filtration process and is disposed of in geotechnically controlled batteries, areas exclusively destined for stacking.

 

Because of these measures, the decommissioning of the dams is the natural way of processing dry waste.

 

All our mining dams are positively certified and comply with the environmental legislation in force.

 

·

Cements

 

CSN entered the cement production market in 2009, catapulted by the synergy between this activity and CSN's current business. Beside the UPV facilities, in Volta Redonda / RJ, the Company installed a business unit, which produces CP-III type cement using the slag produced by the UPV’s own blast furnaces. It also explores limestone and dolomite at the Arcos / MG unit, to meet the needs of the Steel and the cement plant. Additionally, in Arcos / MG, the clinker production operation is located.

 

On January 31, 2021, the Company concluded the drop down of the cement business and, accordingly, all assets and liabilities related to the cement business were transferred from CSN to its subsidiary recently incorporated CSN Cimentos S.A. (“CSN Cimentos”)

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)
Quarterly Financial Information – June 30, 2022 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL	Version: 1

 

The consolidated and parent company interim financial statements have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil based on the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law, pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued (CPC), approved by CVM, besides the own standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and highlight all the relevant information at the interim financial statements, and only this information, which correspond to those used by the Company's management in its activities. The consolidated interim financial information is identified as "Consolidated" and the parent company's individual interim financial information is identified as "Parent Company"

 

2.b)

Basis of presentation

 

The interim financial statements were prepared based on the historical cost and were 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 allows an option between cost or another measurement criterion, the cost of acquisition criterion was used.

 

The preparation of these interim financial statements requires Management to use certain accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of Accounting Polices and the amounts reported on the balance sheet date of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses may differ from actual future results. The assumptions used are based on history and other factors considered relevant and are reviewed by the Company’s management.

 

The 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”, consistently with the standards issued by the CVM.

 

This interim financial information does not include all requirements of annual or full financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.The accounting policies, when applicable and relevant, are included in the respective explanatory notes and are consistent with the previous period presented.

 

Therefore, in this interim financial information the following notes are not repeated, either due to redundancy or to the materiality in relation to those already presented in the annual financial statements:

 

Note 10 - Basis of consolidation and investments

Note 12 - Intangible assets

Note 18 - Income tax and social contribution

Note 19 - Installment taxes

The consolidated and parent company interim financial statements are presented in BRL(reais), which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction or valuation dates, in which the items are remeasured. The balances of the asset and liability accounts are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2022, US$1.00 was equivalent to BRL5.2380 (BRL5.5805 on December 31, 2021) and €1.00 was equivalent to BRL5.4842 (BRL6.3210 on December 31, 2021), according to the rates obtained from Central Bank of Brazil website

The accumulated tax credits arise basically from ICMS, PIS and COFINS credits on purchases of raw materials and fixed assets used in production. The realization of these credits normally occurs through offset with debits of these taxes, generated by sales operations and other taxed expenses.

 

(1) In a judgment finalized on September 24, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court, with general repercussion, decided for the unconstitutionality of the levy of IRPJ and CSLL on amounts of interest on arrears at the SELIC rate received because of the repetition of undue tax payment. Although the decision is still pending publication, and the Company's specific lawsuit is still pending judgment, based on its best estimate to date CSN reassessed the judgment on this lawsuit, as required by ICPC22/IFRIC23 and recorded a credit in the amount of BRL229.000 After the final and unappealable decision of the Company's legal action, these amounts will be considered in the tax assessments, in accordance with the Federal Tax Authorities of Brazil.

a)

Determination of the purchase price

 

In accordance with CPC15 (R1) / IFRS3, the purchase price is determined by the sum of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, equity interests issued, non-controlling interest and the fair value of any interest held prior to the transaction. The table below summarizes the price considered for accounting purposes:

Goodwill on acquisition of control of Elizabeth Cimentos and Elizabeth Mineração

 

In accordance with item 32 of CPC15(R1) / IFRS3, the acquirer must recognize goodwill based on expected future profitability on the acquisition date, measured by the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (purchase price allocation). The acquisition of Elizabeth Cimentos generated goodwill for expected future profitability of BRL83,266, as shown in the table below.

 

Item		Reference		Elizabeth Cimentos		Elizabeth Mineração
Purchase price considered		item (i) and (ii)		599,891		118,831
Fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired				516,625		118,831
Goodwill for future profitability expected				83,266		-

 

The goodwill for expected future earnings is recorded under intangible assets and, since it does not have a determinable useful life, it is not amortized in accordance with CPC04(R1)/IAS38. As from the year 2022, CSN Cimentos will perform the recoverability test for this asset in accordance with the requirements of CPC01(R1)/IAS36.

TRANSNORDESTINA LOGÍSTICA SA (“TLSA”)

 

It is in the pre-operational phase and should remain so until the completion of Mesh II. The approved schedule, which provided for the completion of the work for January 2017, is currently under discussion with the responsible bodies.

After evaluating this matter, Management concluded that the use of the project’s business continuity accounting basis in the preparation of the interim financial statements was considered appropriate.

11.a)

Goodwill impairment test

 

Goodwill arising from expected future profitability of acquired companies and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (brands) were allocated to CSN’s cash generating units (CGUs) which represent the lowest level of assets or group of assets of the Company. According to CPC 01 (R1) / IAS36, when a CGU has an intangible asset with no defined useful life allocated, the Company must perform an impairment test.

 

The assumptions used for impairment assessment in December 2021 remain in place and there is no event that would justify recording impairment on June 30, 2022.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

13.a)

- Identification and valuation of financial instruments

 

The Company may operate with several financial instruments, with emphasis on cash and cash equivalents, including financial investments, marketable securities, accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable to suppliers and borrowings and financing. Additionally, we may also operate with derivative financial instruments, such as swap exchange rate, swap interest and derivatives with commodities.

 

Considering the nature of the instruments, the fair value is basically determined by the use of quotations in the capital markets in Brazil and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange. The amounts recorded in current assets and liabilities have immediate liquidity. Considering the term and characteristics of these instruments, fair values do not differ from the recorded amounts.

Level 1 - Data are prices quoted in an active market for items identical to the assets and liabilities being measured.

 

Level 2 - Consider inputs observable in the market, such as interest rates, exchange rates, etc., but are not prices negotiated in active markets.

 

There are no assets or liabilities classified as level 3.

 

13.b)

- Financial risk management:

 

The Company uses risk management strategies with guidance on the risks incurred by us. The nature and general position of financial risks are regularly monitored and managed in order to assess results and the financial impact on cash flow. Credit limits and hedge quality of counterparties are also reviewed periodically.

 

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

 

We are exposed to exchange rate, interest rate, market price and liquidity risks.

 

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

 

·

Exchange rate risk:

 

The exposure arises from the existence of assets and liabilities denominated in Dollar or Euro, since the Company’s functional currency is substantially the Real and is called natural exchange exposure. The net exposure is the result of the offsetting of the natural exchange exposure by the instruments of hedge adopted by CSN.

 

The consolidated net exposure as of June 30, 2022, is shown below:

 

				06/30/2022
Foreign Exchange Exposure		(Amounts in US$’000)		(Amounts in €’000)
Cash and cash equivalents overseas		1,368,747		6,273

Exchange rate swap CDI x Dollar		(67,000)
Exchange rate swap Real x Dollar		(115,000)
Net foreign exchange exposure		502,806		2,392

 

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

 

Sensitivity analysis of Derivative Financial Instruments and Consolidated Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

The Company considered scenarios 1 and 2 to be 25% and 50% deterioration for currency volatility, using the exchange rate closing rate as of June 30, 2022, as a reference.

 

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

(*) The probable scenarios were calculated considering the following variations for risks: Real x Dollar – devaluation of the Real by 2.34% / Real x Euro - valuation of the Real by 1.10% / Euro x Dollar - devaluation of Euro by 3.36%. Source: Central Bank of Brazil and European Central Bank quotations on July 26,2022.

 

 

·

Interest rate risk:

 

This risk arises from financial investments, borrowings and financing and debentures linked to the fixed and floating interest rates of the CDI, TJLP and LIBOR, exposing these financial assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations as shown in the sensitivity analysis table below.

 

With the modification of the global financial market in recent years and in line with the recommendations of international regulatory agencies, the market has transitioned from the Libor rate (London Interbank Offered Rate) to the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as of 2022. Therefore, the Company is now exposed to some foreign currency borrowings by SOFR.

 

Sensitivity analysis of changes in interest rates

 

We present below the sensitivity analysis for interest rate risks. The Company considered scenarios 1 and 2 to be 25% and 50% deterioration for interest rate volatility using the closing rate as of June 30, 2022, as a reference.

 

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

 

						06/30/2022
Interest		Interest rate		Scenario 1		Scenario 2
CDI		13.15%		16.44%		19.73%
TJLP		6.82%		8.53%		10.23%
LIBOR		2.94%		3.67%		4.40%

 

The effects on profit and loss, considering scenarios 1 and 2 are shown below:

·

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 can be used to reduce cash flow volatility. These mitigation strategies may incorporate derivative instruments, predominantly forward transactions, futures, and options.

 

Below are the instruments for price risk protection:

 

a) Cash flow hedge accounting - "Platts" index

 

The Company had derivative operations for iron ore, contracted by the subsidiary CSN Mineração, with the objective of reducing the volatility of its exposure to the commodity. In 2022, derivative operations were contracted and fully settled on May 31, 2022.

 

In order to better reflect the accounting effects of the Platts hedge strategy in the result, CSN Mineração opted to make the formal designation of the hedge and consequently adopted hedge accounting of the iron ore derivative as a hedge accounting instrument of its highly probable future iron ore sales. With this, the mark-to-market resulting from the volatility of Platts will be temporarily recorded in shareholders' equity and will be taken to the result when the referred sales occur according to the contracted period of assessment, thus allowing the recognition of the volatility of Platts on the sales of iron ore to be recognized at the same moment.

 

The table below shows the result of the derivative instrument until June 30, 2022:

 

			06/30/2022		06/30/2021		06/30/2022		06/30/2021
			Other income and expenses (note 25)				Exchange variation
Maturity		Notional
02/02/2021 to 07/02/2021 (Settled)		Platts			(337,478)				12,726
05/31/2022 (Settled)		Platts	23,374				(1,087)
			23,374		(337,478)		(1,087)		12,726

 

The cash flow hedge accounting - Platts index - has been fully effective since the derivative instruments were contracted.

 

To support the above-mentioned designations, the Company prepared formal documentation indicating how the designation of cash flow hedge accounting - Platts index is aligned with CSN's risk management objective 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 relations designated. Iron ore derivative instruments ("Platts" index) were designated in amounts equivalent to the portion of future sales, comparing the amounts designated with the amounts expected and approved in the Management and Board budgets.

 

b) Cash flow hedge accounting - Foreign Exchange

 

The Company and its subsidiary CSN Mineração formally designates relations of hedge of cash flows to protect highly probable future flows exposed to the dollar related to sales made in dollars.

 

With the objective of better reflecting the accounting effects of the hedge exchange rate in the result, CSN designated part of its dollar liabilities as an instrument of hedge future exports. As a result, the exchange rate variation resulting from the designated liabilities will be transiently recorded in shareholders’ equity and will be reflected in the income statement when said exports occur, thus allowing the recognition of dollar fluctuations on liabilities and on exports to be recorded at the same time. It is noteworthy that the adoption of this accounting hedge it does not imply the contracting of any financial instrument.

Since part of the funds is invested in repo operations that are backed by Brazilian government bonds, there is also exposure to the credit risk of the country.

 

As for the exposure to credit risk in accounts receivable and other receivables, the Company has a credit risk committee, in which each new customer is analyzed individually regarding their financial condition, before granting the credit limit and payment terms, and periodically reviewed based on procedures and circumstances of each business area.

Liquidity risk

 

It is the risk that the Company may not have sufficient net funds to settle its financial commitments, as a result of the mismatch of term or volume between expected receipts and payments.

 

Future receipt and payment premises are established to manage cash liquidity in domestic and foreign currencies, which are monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Treasury Department. The payment schedules for long-term installments of borrowings and financing and debentures are presented in note 12.

 

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

(1) The Company taxes exchange variations on a cash basis to calculate income tax and social contribution on net income.

 

The Company has in its corporate structure subsidiaries abroad, whose income are taxed by the income tax in the respective countries where they were constituted at rates lower than those in force in Brazil. In the period between 2018 and 2022, these subsidiaries generated income in the amount of BRL471,514. If the Brazilian tax authorities understand that these profits are subject to additional taxation in Brazil for income tax and social contribution, these, if due, would reach approximately BRL163,960. The Company, based on the position of its legal advisors, assessed only the likelihood of loss as possible in the event of possible tax questioning and, therefore, no provision was recognized in the financial statements.

 

In addition, management evaluated the precepts of IFRIC 23 - “Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments” and recognized in 2021 the credit for the unconstitutionality of the incidence of the IRPJ and CSLL on the amounts of default interest referring to the SELIC rate received due to the repetition of tax undue payment.

 

A sensitivity analysis of consumption of tax credits was carried out considering a variation in macroeconomic assumptions, operating performance, and liquidity events. Thus, considering the results of the study carried out, which indicates that it is probable the existence of taxable profit to use the balance of deferred income tax and social contribution.

The provision for tax, social security, labor, civil and environmental risks was estimated by Management and is mainly based on the legal counsel’s assessment. Only lawsuits for which the risk is classified as probable loss are provisioned. Additionally, tax liability from actions initiated by the Company is included in this provision and is subject to SELIC (Central Bank’s policy rate).

 

§

Administrative and judicial proceedings

 

The Company does not make provisions for lawsuits, which Management’s expectation, based on the opinion of legal counsel, is a possible loss. The following table shows a summary of the balance of the main matters classified as possible risk compared to the balance on June 30, 2022, and December 31,2021.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Group was notified of an arbitration procedure based on an alleged unfulfillment of iron ore supply contracts. The counterparty asks for approximately US$1 billion, and the Company has no knowledge of the bases used in the allegations presented, as well as has no knowledge of the basis for the estimates of the amount asked. As opposed, the Company understands to be a creditor in the contracts. Finally, the Company informs that has responded the arbitration requirements in conjunction with its legal counselors and is currently at the initial stage of its defense. The Company expects the arbitration will be concluded in 2 to 3 years. The relevance of the arbitration to the Company is related to the amount attributed to the cause and its eventual financial impact. The discussion involves arbitration disputes initiated by both parties.

Quarterly Financial Information – June 30, 2022 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL	Version: 1

 

The Company's insurance is contracted together with the insurance of its subsidiaries, but there is no joint or subsidiary responsibility between the Company and companies of its economic group with CSN Mineração.

 

In 2022, after negotiations with insurers and reinsurers in Brazil and abroad, an Operational Risk Insurance Policy for Property Damage and Business Interruption was issued, effective from June 30, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Under the policy, the Maximum Indemnity Limit is US$475 million for the locations with Company activities combined for Property Damage and loss of profits, and the deductible is US$385 million for material damages and 45 days for loss of profits. The policy's maximum indemnity limit is shared with other insured establishments.

 

The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not part of the scope of the review of the interim financial statements, and consequently, they have not been reviewed by our independent auditors.

11.1 Projections

 

The Company clarifies that the information disclosed in this item represents a mere estimation, with hypothetical data and in no way constitute a promise of performance on behalf of the Company and/or its directors. The projections presented below involve market factors beyond the Company's control and, therefore, may change.

 

a)

Projection object.

The Company estimates the following variables below:

 

Projections	2022	2023E	2022-2026 E
Leverage (Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA)	1.0x	-	-
Capex expansion (BRLmillion) - Mining	-	-	BRL12,000
Capex (BRLmillion) - Steel	-	-	BRL6,300
Capex (BRLmillion) - Consolidated	BRL4,100	-	-

Cash Cost Mining (USD/ton)	$ 20.0 - $22.00	-	-

 

b)

Projected period and the validity of the projection.

The projected period and expiration dates can be viewed in the table above in item 11.1 a), and the numbers are always presented at the end of the fiscal year and duly published in the Standardized Financial Statements (DFP) of each fiscal year.

 

c)

Assumptions of the projection, with the indication of which ones can be influenced by the administration of the issuer and which escape its control.

 

All the premises of the projections mentioned above are subject to external influence factors, which are outside the control of the Company's management. Therefore, in the event of any material change in these assumptions, the Company may revise its estimates, changing them compared to those originally presented.

 

The main premise that can be influenced by the Company's management would be its production and sales volumes, along with the associated costs.

 

The volume of ore production always considers our 2022 mining plan, with increased pellet feed production. However, key factors such as sales prices and raw material inputs are outside the Company's control.

 

d)

CSN replaced in Dec/21 the estimated volume of iron ore production in 2021 to 36-37Mton, against previous expectation of 38-40Mton.

 

95

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)
Quarterly Financial Information – June 30, 2022 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL	Version: 1

CSN replaced in Dec/21 Mining Cash Cost in 2021 to $19.00, against a previous expectation of $16.00.

CSN replaced in Dec/21 Mining Expansion Capex in 2021 to BRL560 million, against a previous expectation of BRL1,000 million.

CSN replaced in Dec/20 the projection of reaching a Net Debt of BRL23 billion by BRL20 billion at the end of the 2020 annual Balance Sheet.

 

CSN replaced in Dec/20 the projection of achieving a Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of BRL9.75 billion by BRL11.2 billion at the end of the 2020 annual Balance Sheet.

 

CSN replaced in Dec/20 the projection to achieve a Mining segment EBITDA of BRL7.3 billion by BRL7.65 billion at the end of the 2020 annual Balance Sheet.

CSN replaced in Dec/20 the estimated iron ore production volume in 2020 of 33Mton, against previous expectation of 33-36Mton.

 

b) regarding the projections related to periods already elapsed, compare the projected data with the effective performance of the indicators, clearly indicating the reasons that led to deviations in the projections.

 

2021

 

 

Regarding the major deviations above and below the expectation, our evaluations are as follows:

 

The increase in net debt, in millions of reais, compared to the guidance was mainly tied by the share repurchase programs, in addition to the exchange variation observed in the period. However, even with the increase in net debt, the company's leverage was still below the 1.0x Net Debt/EBITDA level.

 

The steel Sales Volume was impacted by the lower sales volume during the third quarter, which was marked by the commercial strategy of prioritizing price, without the application of discounts, to the detriment of the sold volume. This strategy proved to be assertive for the Company's financial results.

 

The company's dollarized Cash Cost annual average was $2.6/t, worse than the guidance presented due to a one-off pressure in November, impacted by the scheduled halts and heavy rainfall in the period, causing a lower dilution of the mine’s and port’s fixed cost. If we discount the month of November from the calculation of the average of the year, the average cash cost would be $19.00, which is in line with what was expected by The Company.

Quarterly Financial Information – June 30, 2022 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL	Version: 1

 

2020

 

¹MINING EBITDA – the variation of BRL541 million above expected was due to the higher iron ore price during 4Q20.

²Production Volume – the negative variation of 2.3Mton was due to rainfall, pandemic impacts and lower availability of iron ore compared to expected.
