NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (“CSN”, also referred to as “Company” or “Parent 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”), reporting its information to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

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 its facilities in Brazil, CSN has commercial operations in the United States and operations in Portugal and Germany in order to expand its market presence and provide excellent services to end consumers. Its steel is used in home appliances, civil construction, packaging and automobile industry.

 

·Mining:

 

Iron ore production is carried outin the cities of Congonhas, Belo Vale and Ouro Preto, in the State of Minas Gerais, by its subsidiary CSN Mineração S.A. (“CSN Mineração”). The Company’s mining activities also include tin exploration in the state of Rondônia conducted by CSN's subsidiary Estanho de Rondônia S.A. (“ERSA”), to meet the needs of the UPV. The surplus of this raw material is sold to subsidiaries and third parties.

 

Iron ore is primarily sold in the international market, particularly in Europe and Asia. The prices charged in these markets are historically cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations over short periods of time, influenced by factors such as global demand, strategies adopted by the major steel producers, and the foreign exchange rates. All these factors are beyond the Company’s control. The ore is transported by rail to the Terminal de Carvão e Minérios at the Port of Itaguaí (“TECAR”), a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals that comprise the Itaguai Port, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro and from TECAR to customers around the world. The imports of coal and coke are also carried out through this terminal by provision of services by CSN Mineração to CSN.

 

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, since January 2020, has a complete structure for tailings filtration, allowing the dry stacking of the material. The tailings are disposed of in geotechnically controlled piles in areas exclusively designated for stacking, avoiding the use of dams for this purpose.

 

As a consequence of these measures, decommissioning dams is the natural progression for processing filtered tailings. All of our mining dams are certified and comply with current environmental regulations.

 

·Cements:

 

CSN entered the cement market to leverage the synergy between this activity and its existing businesses. The cement production unit located adjacent to the UPV facilities, in Volta Redonda, RJ, produces CP-III type cement using slag produced by UPV's own blast furnaces. There is also the exploration of limestone and dolomite at the Arcos, MG unit to meet the needs of the steel industry and the cement factory, as well as the production of clinker at the same unit.

 

On August 31, 2021, the subsidiary CSN Cimentos S.A. (“CSN Cimentos”) completed the acquisition of control of Elizabeth Cimentos S.A. and Elizabeth Mineração Ltda., operating in the Northeast region, especially in Paraíba and Pernambuco. On May 1, 2022, Elizabeth Mineração was merged into CSN Cimentos.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

 

2.a)Statement of compliance

 

The parent company and consolidated interim financial information (“interim financial information”) have been prepared and are presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”), and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and disclose all the relevant information of the interim financial information, and only this information, and includes only the data used by the Company's management in its activities. The consolidated interim financial information are identified as “Consolidated” and the parent company's individual interim financial information are identified as “Parent Company”.

 

2.b)Basis of presentation

When IFRS and CPCs allows the 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 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.

The new standards adopted for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 are described in Note 2.e.

The credits arise mainly from ICMS (Brazilian State Value-Added Tax), PIS (Social Integration Program Contribution) and COFINS (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) - both of which are Brazilian federal taxes on business revenues levied on purchases of inputs and fixed assets, in accordance with current legislation. These credits are typically realized through offsets against liabilities of the same nature or with other federal taxes, as permitted by legislation. Based on analyses and projections made by Management, the Company does not foresee any risk of non-realization of these tax credits.

9.c)TRANSNORDESTINA LOGÍSTICA S.A. (“TLSA”)

 

TSA is primarily engaged in the public service operation and development of a railroad network in the Northeast of Brazil, comprising the rail links Velha-Salgueiro, Salgueiro-Trindade, Trindade-Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro- Porto de Suape, and Missão Velha-Porto de Pecém (“Malha II”). On December 23, 2022, after extensive negotiations involving ANTT, TCU and the then Ministry of Infrastructure, signed first amendment to the Concession Agreement , which redefined the scope and deadlines for completion of the TLSA sections, notably to provide for the return of the section Salgueiro-Porto de Suape, which results in a project with the current 1,206 km of rail network and completion deadline up to December 2029.

 

Management relies on resources from its shareholders and third parties to complete the work, which is expected to be available, based on previously conducted agreements and recent discussions between the parties involved. After evaluating this matter, Management concluded that the use of the project’s business continuity accounting basis in the preparation of the interim financial information 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 to assess impairment in December 2023 remain in force and there is no event that justifies impairment records on June 30, 2024.

Considering the nature of these instruments, their 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 or maturity, mostly in the short term. Considering the terms and characteristics of these instruments, the carrying amounts approximate the fair values.

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 referred to as 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, 2024, is shown below:

·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, TLP, SOFR, exposing these financial assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations as shown in the sensitivity analysis table below.

 

 

Quarterly Financial Information – June 30, 2024 – Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

 
  

With the modification of the global financial market in debt instruments in recent years and in line with the recommendations of international regulatory bodies, the market began to transition from the Libor rate (London Interbank Offered Rate) to the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as of 2022. On June 30,2024, all contracts were migrated to SOFR, as evidenced in the interest rate sensitivity analysis.

 

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 2024, as a reference.

(*) The sensitivity analysis is based on the premise of maintaining the market values as of June 30, 2024 as a probable scenario recorded in the company´s assets and liabilities.

 

·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, as shown in the following topics:

 

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. These contracts were settled in the second half of June 2024.

 

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, 2024:

04/01/2024 to 04/30/2024 (Settled)    Platts                 192,625                9,922    
05/01/2024 to 05/31/2024 (Settled)    Platts                 81,139                5,244    
06/01/2024 to 06/30/2024 (Settled)    Platts                 173,111                  
                     452,906   (341,175)        94,472    19,445    9,773

 

The changes in the amounts related to cash flow hedge accounting - Platts index recorded in shareholders' equity on June 30, 2024, are shown as follows:

 

  12/31/2023   Movement   Realization   06/30/2024
Cash flow hedge accounting–“Platts”  (672,280)   1,125,186   (452,906)    
 Income tax and social contribution on cash flow hedge accounting 228,575   (382,563)    153,988    
Fair Value of cash flow accounting - Platts, net  (443,705)    742,623   (298,918)    

 

The cash flow hedge accounting - Platts index – is 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 Hedge Accounting

 

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 and its subsidiary CSN Mineração designated part of their dollar liabilities as an instrument of future hedge exports. As a result, the exchange rate variation resulting from the designated liabilities will be temporarily 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 hedge accounting does not imply the contracting of any financial instrument.

 

The table below presents a summary of the relations of hedge as of June 30, 2024:

·Credit risk

 

The exposure to credit risks of financial institutions considers the parameters established in the financial policy. The Company practices a detailed analysis of the financial situation of its customers and suppliers, the determination of a credit limit and the permanent monitoring of its outstanding balance.

 

With regard to financial investments, the Company only invests in institutions with low credit risk assessed by credit rating agencies. 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 honor 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, financing and debentures are shown in note 12.b.

 

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

The Company has contracts for the right to use ports (TECAR) and railways (FTL) which, even if they establish minimum performance, it is not possible to determine its 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 expenses related to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability during the period are:

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company was notified of an arbitration proceeding based on an alleged breach of iron ore supply contracts. The counterparty asks for approximately US$1 billion, and the Company has no knowledge of the basis for the estimates of the amount asked. Finally, the Company informs that it 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 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.

 

The Company has been offering judicial guarantees (Guarantee Insurance/Letter of Guarantee) amounting to R$9,747,692 as of June 30,2024 (December 31, 2023, R$8,768,003), as determined by the procedural legislation in force.

 

The assessments made by legal advisors define these administrative and judicial proceedings as a possible risk of loss and, consequently, no loss provisions have been recognized in accordance with Management's judgment and with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

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 June 30, 2024, which comprise the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, for three and six months period then ended and changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies and notes.

 

The Company's management is responsible for preparing and presenting the individual and consolidated interim financial information, in accordance with technical pronouncement NBC TG 21 - 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 NBC TG 21 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.

Other matters

 

Statement of Value Added

 

The aforementioned quarterly information includes the individual and consolidated Statements of Value Added (DVA), referring to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for IAS purposes 34. 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 NBC TG 09 - "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 together.
