(Free translation from the original issued in Portuguese. 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"), identified as parent company and consolidated, contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which comprise the balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 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 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).

(Free translation from the original issued in Portuguese. In the event of any discrepancies, the Portuguese language version shall prevail.) 3 Other matters Statement of Value Added The previously mentioned quarterly information includes the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Value Added (DVA), referring to the six-months period ended June 30, 2025, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for international standard IAS 34 purposes. 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.

·Going Concern:

 

Management understands that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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”.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

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.

 

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. Interim financial information does not include all requirements for annual or complete financial statements; as a result, it should be read together with the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

In this context, this interim financial information was 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

 

The provided individual and consolidated financial information was approved by Management as of July 31, 2025.

 

2.c)Functional 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 currency 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 June 30, 2025, US$ 1.00 is equivalent to BRL 5.4571 (BRL 6.1923 on December 31, 2024) and €1.00 is equivalent to BRL 6.4230 (BRL6.4363 on December 31, 2024) according to rates obtained from the Central Bank of Brazil’s website.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

2.d)Statement of value added

 

According to Federal Law 11.638/07, the presentation of the statement of value added is required for all publicly-held companies. These statements were prepared in accordance with CPC 09 (R1) – Statement of Value Added. IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement, therefore, it is presented as additional information for IFRS’s purposes.

Financial resources available in Brazil are primarily invested in private and public securities for which the respective income is linked to variation in Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI) and transactions linked to fixed income securities. The Company applies part of the resources through exclusive investment funds, whose financial statements were consolidated in the Company.

 

Overseas financial resources are held in dollars and euros and are invested in TD (Time Deposit) transactions at pre-fixed rates as well as in accounts subject to automatic remuneration and daily liquidity. Income is linked to FED Funds the ECB’s deposit rate, and Management considers counterparty banks to be blue-chip institutions.

· 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 and 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.

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

 

Level 2 – Considers observable inputs in the market, such as interest rates, foreign exchange, etc., but are not prices traded in active markets.

 

Level 3 - There are no assets or liabilities classified in the level.

 

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.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

The consolidated net exposure is shown below:

 

    06/30/2025 12/31/2024
Foreign Exchange Exposure   (Amounts in US$’000)   (Amounts in US$’000)
Cash and cash equivalents overseas   2,091,690    1,951,025
Trade receivables   135,828   58,296
Financial investments   427,348    270,038
Borrowings and financing     (5,872,123)     (5,983,492)
Trade payables    (383,140)     (284,843)
Others   (49,495)    (37,185)

Derivative transactions (¹)   4,753,567    5,098,257
    1,103,675    1,072,096

(*) Total notional value of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments used for exchange risk management.

 

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. Calculations were based on the closing exchange rate on June 30, 2025 and made use of assumptions based on a dispersion calculation that considers both historical changes in exchange rates and projections developed by Management.

 

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

 

                06/30/2025
Currency   Exchange rate   Probable scenario   Scenario 1   Scenario 2
USD     5.4571    5.5433    5.7944     4.9881

 

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

ii)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 calculate these risks, the closing rates as of June 30, 2025 were used as a reference based on a dispersion model, which considers not only historical variations in interest rates, but also detailed projections from management.

 

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

            Consolidated
            06/30/2025
Interest   Possible scenarios   Scenario 1   Scenario 2
CDI   14.90%   15.22%   13.16%
TJLP   8.65%   9.29%   8.07%

(*) ) Sensitivity analyses are based on the assumption that market values as of June 30, 2025 recorded in the Company's assets and liabilities will be maintained.

 

 

iii)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.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

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.

 

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 following table presents profit and loss for derivative instruments as of June 30, 2025:

 

        06/30/2025   06/30/2024   06/30/2025   06/30/2024
        Other operating income expenses (note 25)   Financial income (expenses) (note 26)

02/01/2024 to 02/28/2024 (Settled)    Platts         (39,977)     (133)
03/01/2024 to 03/31/2024 (Settled)    Platts           248,710      5,132
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       
03/01/2025 to 03/31/2025 (Settled)    Platts      40,578           
04/01/2025 to 04/30/2025 (Settled)    Platts      29,501        81     
05/01/2025 to 05/31/2025 (Settled)    Platts      17,344           
          87,423     452,906    81     19,445

 

Activity related to cash flow hedge accounting amounts - "Platts" index recorded under shareholders' equity on June 30, 2025 is as follows:

 

  12/31/2024   Movement   Realization   06/30/2025
Cash flow hedge  –  “Platts”       87,423   (87,423)     
 Income tax and social contribution on cash flow hedge       (4,660)    4,660     
Fair Value of cash flow hedge - Platts, net       82,763   (82,763)     

 

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

 

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 a summary of hedging relationships maintained as of June 30, 2025:

                                    06/30/2025

iv)Credit risks

 

Exposure to credit risks with financial institutions considers the parameters established under the CSN’s financial policy. The Company's practice is the 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.

 

v)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.

Fair values of assets and liabilities in relation to book value

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in current and non-current assets and liabilities while gains and any losses are recorded as revenue, other operating income (expenses) and finance expenses.

 

The amounts are recorded in the financial statements at their book value, which are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. The fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts, except for the amounts below.

 

The estimated fair value for certain consolidated long-term loans and financing was calculated at current market rates, considering their characteristics, term and risks similar to those of the registered contracts, as shown below:

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) provides a projection for a price appreciation horizon, while Scenario 2 (pessimistic extreme) considers a deterioration horizon for price volatility. Calculations were based on the closing price of the shares on June 30, 2025 and assumptions were made 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 remaining terms of these contracts range from between 1 and 19 years.

 

The present value of future obligations was measured using the implicit rate observed in the contracts, and for contracts that did not have a rate, the Company applied the incremental rate of loans – IBR, both in nominal terms.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

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

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

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 involving low-value assets. Payments made for these contracts are recognized as expenses when incurred.

 

The Company maintains lease agreements for its TECAR and TECON port terminals for which it is not possible to accurately estimate the respective cash flows despite these agreements establishing minimum performance targets since payments are completely variable and are determined as they occur. In such cases, amounts will be recognized as an expense for the period in which they are incurred.

 

Expenses related to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are:

(1)Transactions related to the acquisition of ownership interest in the Estrela Comércio e Participações S.A. group which became effective on April 1, 2025. According to CPC 15 (R1) – Business combination, the Company has one year, as of this date, to form the respective business combination, which may impact the recorded fair value within this period based on an appraisal report.

 

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 orders that partially ratified offsetting through credits arising from a final and unappealable lawsuit ruling recognized the unconstitutionality the inclusion of ICMS amounts under the calculation base for PIS and Cofins contributions. According to the federal supervisory body, approximately 20% of the credit authorized by the company would lack liquidity and certainty, and, therefore, could not compose the amount to be offset. Given these orders, CSN presented a manifestation of non-conformity to demonstrate the inappropriateness of the premises adopted by the supervisory body and liquidity and legal certainty underpinning complete authorized credits.

(3) Reduction of 113MM due to the partial cancellation of the debt through an administrative decision that was not subject to appeal. Awaiting ruling and adjustments to debt statement to cancel contingency.

 

(4) Reduction of 184MM due to the cancellation of fines and interest on fines provided for in L. 14.689/2023. Change of contingency supported by legal opinion.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

(5) Reclassification of the likelihood of risk from probable to possible, according to the current jurisprudential understanding on the subject according to assessment from the Company's legal advisors .

 

(6) Transactions related to the acquisition of ownership interest in the Estrela Comércio e Participações S.A. group which became effective on April 1, 2025. According to CPC 15 (R1) – Business combination, the Company has one year, as of this date, to form the respective business combination, which may impact the recorded fair value within this period based on an appraisal report. The acquisition of this company generated a possible increase in contingency on June 30, 2025.

 

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 updated amount as of June 30, 2025 of BRL 10,780,897 (BRL 10,620,316 as of December 31, 2024), as determined under 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.

27.SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

According to the Group's structure, the businesses are distributed and managed in five operating segments as follows:

 

·Steel operations

 

The Steel sector consolidates all operations related to the production, distribution and marketing of flat steel, long steel, metal packaging and galvanized steel, with operations in Brazil, United States, Portugal and Germany. The steel sector supplies the civil construction and steel packaging markets for the country's chemical and food industries, as well as the household appliance, automotive and OEM (engines and compressors) sectors. The Company's steel units produce hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized, and pre-painted steel with great durability. It also produces tinplate, a raw material used in the production of packaging.

 

Operations in Brazil also involve the production and commercialization of long steel products, which consolidates the company's provision of complete civil construction solutions and complements its portfolio of high value-added products within the steel value chain.

 

Abroad, Lusosider, in Portugal, produces cold rolled and galvanized steels. CSN LLC, in the United States, provides services on the local market and imports and commercializes steel products. Stahlwerk Thüringen (SWT), which is based in Germany, produces long steel products and specializes in the production of steel profiles used in construction.

 

In March 2025, the Company acquired the company Gramperfil S.A. which is located in Portugal. This acquisition will complement local operations involving the production, importing, commercialization and processing of metal profiles and accessories used in metal products and civil construction.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

·Mining

 

Mining includes iron ore and tin mining activities.

 

Operations producing high-quality iron ore are located in Minas Gerais’ Iron Quadrangle where iron ore purchased from third parties is sold in addition to production.

 

At the end of 2015, CSN and the Asian Consortium formalized a shareholders' agreement for the combination of assets involved in iron ore operations and related logistics, to form a new company, which will concentrate the Group's mining activities as of December 2015. Within this context, the new company, which is currently known as CSN Mineração S.A., came to hold a lease for the TECAR terminal, as well as the Casa de Pedra mine and all shares in the company Namisa. Namisa was incorporated on December 31, 2015. Additionally, CSN holds 100% of the National Minerals that comprise the Fernandinho (operational), Cayman and Pedras Pretas (mineral resource) mines, all of which are located in Minas Gerais.

 

In addition, CSN controls Estanho de Rondônia S.A., a company with tin mining and smelting units in the state of Rondônia.

 

·Logistics

 

i. Railway

 

CSN has a stake in three railway companies: MRS Logística S.A., which manages the former Malha Sudeste da Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., Transnordestina Logística S.A. and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A is the holder of the concession owned by the former Malha Nordeste da RFFSA in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas.

 

a) MRS

 

The rail transport services provided by MRS are fundamental to the supply of raw materials and the transport of final products. The entirety of the iron ore, coal and coke consumed at the Presidente Vargas Plant is transported by MRS, as well as part of the steel produced by CSN both for the domestic market and for export.

 

Southeastern Brazil’s railway system, which comprises 1,674 km of railways, provides services in the industrial triangle formed by the states of São Paulo - Rio de Janeiro - Minas Gerais, in the Southeast region and links company mines located in Minas Gerais to ports

 

in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The network also connects steel mills belonging to CSN, Companhia Siderúrgica Paulista, or Cosipa, and Gerdau Açominas. In addition to providing service to other clients, the railway line transports iron ore from the Company’s Casa de Pedra mine in Minas Gerais, and coke and coal from the Port of Itaguaí in Rio de Janeiro, to Volta Redonda/RJ. The network also transports products destined for export to the Ports of Itaguaí and Rio de Janeiro.

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

b) TLSA and FTL

 

TLSA and FTL hold the concession of the former RFFSA Northeast network. The northeastern railway system covers 4,238 km of railway network divided into two sections: i) Network I, which includes the sections of São Luiz - Mucuripe, Arrojado - Recife, Itabaiana - Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante - Macau - and Propriá - Jorge Lins; and ii) Network II, which includes the sections of Missão Velha - Salgueiro, Salgueiro - Trindade, Trindade - Eliseu Martins and Missão Velha - Porto de Pecém.

 

It also connects to the main ports in the region, thus offering an important competitive advantage through opportunities for combined transport solutions and tailor-made logistics projects.

 

ii. Port

 

The Company’s activities in port logistics sector were consolidated through the operation of the Sepetiba terminal, which was built after a port modernization law (Federal Law 8.630/1993) allowing the transfer of port activities to the private sector was passed. The Sepetiba terminal offers the infrastructure required to meet all the needs of exporters, importers and shipowners. Its installed capacity exceeds that of most Brazilian terminals. It has berths and large storage area, as well as the most modern and appropriate equipment, systems, and intermodal connections.

 

The Company's ongoing investment in terminal projects has allowed the Itaguaí Port Complex to be consolidated as one of the most modern of its kind in Brazil.

 

iii. Land Transport

 

On April 1, 2025, CSN completed the acquisition of Estrela Comércio e Participações S.A. (“the Estrela Group"), the Tora Transportes group’s ("Tora Group”) holding company.

 

Initially founded in the 1970s meet road transport needs, the Tora Group currently offers an "Integrated Logistics System” that seeks to integrate modes of transport, especially in road-rail operations and transport in the steel, mining, solid bulk, automotive and dry cargo sectors in general. The Tora Group’s services portfolio also includes terminal management, storage, operation of bonded warehouses, and production chain and light vehicle fleet management services, including the rental and resale of used vehicles.

 

The Tora Group maintains a national and international presence within the transport sector. The Group relies on more than 70 branches distributed throughout Brazil. It currently operates at four multimodal terminals located in the Southeast region of Brazil and a border terminal located in the city of Uruguaiana/RS. With regards to bonded warehouses, the Tora Group operates a terminal located in the city of Betim/MG that receives goods imported from the Brazil’s largest ports and airports.

 

In March 2024, the Tora Group began operations in the light vehicle segment (fleet management, lease and resale of used vehicles), through the acquisition of the Lokamig Group.

 

·Energy

 

CSN is one of the largest industrial consumers of electricity in Brazil. Since energy is a fundamental input in the Company’s production process, it holds electricity generation assets and achieved energy self-sufficiency with the acquisitions made in 2022. CSN subsequently began to operate within the sector as a player in electricity generation through the commercialization of its surplus energy.
