Achieved record quarterly steel shipments of 3.7 million tons, driven by strong demand in non-residential construction and a diversified value-added product portfolio.

Steel operations operating income increased 30% sequentially, primarily due to higher realized pricing and a recovery in value-added spreads to hot band, which improved $70 per ton from late 2025 lows.

Maintained a 90% utilization rate across steel mills, significantly outperforming the domestic industry average of 81% by leveraging internal manufacturing support and unique customer supply chain solutions.

The aluminum platform transition from commissioning to full-scale production is addressing a structural U.S. supply deficit of 1.4 million metric tons, with two-thirds of existing steel customers already consuming aluminum sheet.

Metals recycling platform provided a strategic hedge against prime scrap supply challenges through enhanced separation technologies, while supporting raw material needs for both steel and aluminum operations.

Strategic positioning in the automotive sector was bolstered by lower carbon content steel offerings and early product qualification for aluminum alloys 5182 and 5754.

Management attributed sustained financial performance to a performance-driven compensation culture and a disciplined focus on higher-margin, countercyclical market diversification.

Expect aluminum rolling mill volumes and profitability to increase sharply in the second half of 2026 as the third cold mill comes online and startup costs subside.

Projecting an exit rate for aluminum production of at least 90% capacity by the end of 2026, enabling full volume capability of 650,000 metric tons in 2027.

Anticipate third quarter results will be positively impacted by recent flat-rolled steel price increases and further improvements in value-added product spreads due to lagging contract structures.

Capital investment for the second half of 2026 is estimated between $300 million and $350 million, focusing on operational optimization of recent growth projects.

Management expects the $5 billion investment in Sinton, coated lines, and aluminum to eventually generate over $1.4 billion of through-cycle annual EBITDA.

Recorded a $16 million non-cash impairment charge related to the strategic relocation of the second planned recycled aluminum slab center.

Reported a fatal accident at a New Process Steel facility in April, prompting a renewed management focus on the 'Take Control of Safety' philosophy and zero-incident goals.

Identified rising steel raw material input costs as a temporary margin headwind for the fabrication business, which typically maintains 10 to 12 weeks of inventory.

Flagged potential disruptions from Asian steel exports and is actively advocating for Section 301 remedies to be additive to existing 232 tariffs to preserve domestic market stability.

Management clarified that the 45% year-over-year backlog increase is volume-specific, not pricing-driven.

Improved pricing currently being quoted in the backlog is expected to be realized in the next six to nine months, impacting late 2026 and 2027 results.

Current aluminum production uses approximately 80% scrap for can sheet and a 40/60 mix of scrap to prime metal for automotive applications.

Management expects scrap content to increase as operations stabilize, which will serve as a primary driver for margin expansion in the second half of the year.

The relocation of the slab facility will result in an incremental $10 million to $20 million increase in Columbus CapEx due to construction inflation.

While the move delays internal slab supply, the second cast house is expected to reach 100% utilization by the first half of 2027.

Management maintained the $650 million to $700 million through-cycle EBITDA guidance but acknowledged that current market spreads are considerably higher than those used in the original forecast.

A formal guidance update may occur once the third cold mill and final CASH line are fully operational and cost structures are dialed in.

Management expressed concern regarding long-term grid reliability and demand from data centers but noted that current electricity costs remain manageable through regional contracts and off-peak optimization.

Aluminum operations are primarily a 'natural gas play,' with management comfortable with current storage and procurement strategies.
