EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise noted)
| 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 the facilities in Brazil, CSN has commercial operations in the United States and operations in Portugal and Germany in order to gain markets and provide excellent services to 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, Belo Vale and Ouro Preto, 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 by CSN's subsidiary Estanho de Rondônia S.A. (“ERSA”), to supply the needs of the UPV. The surplus of this raw material is sold to subsidiaries and third parties.
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 is transported by rail to the Terminal de Carvão e Minérios from the Itaguaí Port (“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 intended for stacking, avoiding the use of dams for this purpose.
As a consequence of these measures, decommissioning of dams is the natural path for processing filtered tailings. All of our mining dams are positively certified and comply with the environmental legislation in force.
| · | Cements: |
CSN entered the cement market driven by the synergy between this activity and its existing businesses. The cement production unit located next 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”) concluded 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.

(“LafargeHolcim”). On September 6, 2022, the acquisition of all shares issued by LafargeHolcim S.A. was completed, with the corporate name of LafargeHolcim being changed to "CSN Cimentos Brasil S.A.", which became controlled by CSN Cimentos. The Company's main activities are: production, industry and general trade of cement, lime, mortar, minerals and metals in general and complementary products for civil construction, in natura with industrial plants, warehouses and branches across a large part of the national territory.
On August 31, 2023, the Extraordinary General Meeting approved the incorporation of CSN Cimentos by CSN Cimentos Brasil with the consequent transfer of all assets, assets (movable and immovable), rights and obligations, in accordance with the terms of the “Protocol and Justification of the Incorporation of CSN Cimentos S.A. by CSN Cimentos Brasil S.A.”. Thus, CSN Cimentos was extinguished, all its shares were canceled and, in replacement, its shareholders received shares in CSN Cimentos Brasil. All activities carried out by CSN Cimentos are now carried out by CSN Cimentos Brasil. The Valuation Report of CSN Cimentos' equity was prepared on June 30, 2023, being the basis for defining a capital increase in CSN Cimentos Brasil in the amount of R$2,383,276.

| · | Going Concern: |
Management understands that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations. Accordingly, the Company's interim financial information for the period ended March 31, 2024, have been prepared on a going concern basis.
| 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 being 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, which corresponds to that 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 |
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 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 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, 2023.
The new standards adopted for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 are described in Note 2.e.
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 18 - Installment taxes
Note 29 - Employee benefits
Note 30 - Commitments
Note 31 - Insurance
The consolidated financial statements were approved by Board of Directors on May 09, 2024.
| 2.c) | Functional currency and presentation currency |
The accounting records included in the interim financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the principal of the economic environment in which each subsidiary operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated and parent company interim financial statements are presented in BRL (reais), which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
Quarterly Financial Information – March 31, 2024 – Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE) | |
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 converted using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2024, US$1.00 was equivalent to BRL 4.9962 (BRL 4.8413on December 31, 2023) and €1.00 was equivalent to BRL 5.3979 (BRL 5.3516 on December 31, 2023), according to the rates obtained from Central Bank of Brazil website.
| 2.d) | Statement of value added |
Pursuant to Law 11,638/07, the presentation of the statement of added value is required for all publicly held companies. These statements were prepared in accordance with CPC 09 - Added Value Statement. The IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement and for IFRS purposes is presented as additional information.

In relation to the aforementioned changes, the Company did not identify significant impacts that would alter its disclosure in terms of the adoption and interpretation of the rules; with the exception of the amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, as a result of the addition of items 44F and 44H to Technical Pronouncement CPC 03 (R2) – Cash flow statements, which provide greater detail on drawn risk operations (also referred to as "forfaiting" throughout the report, in its note 15.a.

| 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.

· Covenants
The Company maintains contracts that provide for the fulfillment of certain non-financial obligations, as well as the maintenance of certain parameters and performance indicators, such as the equity ratio disclosure of its audited interim financial information according to regulatory deadlines or payment of commission for risk assumption, if the indicator of net debt to EBITDA reaches the levels foreseen in those contracts.
To the moment, the Company is compliant with the financial and non-financial obligations (covenants) of its existing contracts.
13. 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, swap interest and derivatives with commodities.
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 March 31, 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.
With the modification of the global financial market 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 March 31,2024,all contracts were migrated to SOFR, as evidenced in the interest rate sensitivity analysis.

| · | 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
Quarterly Financial Information – March 31, 2024 – Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE) | |
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 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 March 31, 2024:

(*) The operation matured on March 31, 2024 and was settled in early April 2024.
The changes in the amounts related to cash flow hedge accounting - Platts index recorded in shareholders' equity on March 31, 2024, are shown as follows:
| 12/31/2023 | Movement | Realization | 03/31/2024 | ||||

| Fair Value of cash flow accounting - Platts, net | (443,705) | 909,416 | (3,980) | 461,731 |
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.

| · | 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.

IV - Fair values of assets and liabilities in relation to the book value
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in current and non-current assets and liabilities and gains and losses are recorded as financial income and expenses, respectively.
The amounts are recorded in the interim financial information at their book values, which are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded on the market. The fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities do not differ significantly from their book values, except for the amounts below.
The estimated fair value for certain consolidated long-term borrowings and financing was calculated at current market rates, considering the nature, term and risks similar to those of the registered contracts, as follows:

The Company chose not to recognize lease liabilities in contracts with a term of less than 12 months and for low value assets. Payments made for these contracts are recognized as expenses when incurred.
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 Company has in its corporate structure subsidiaries abroad, whose income is 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 2023, these subsidiaries generated income in the amount of R$155,482. If the Brazilian tax authorities understand that this income is subject to additional taxation in Brazil for income tax and social contribution, these, if due, would reach approximately R$52,864. 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 interim financial information.
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 levy 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.

Quarterly Financial Information – March 31, 2024 – Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE) | |
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company was notified of an arbitration proceeding 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 basis for the estimates of the amount asked. 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 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) in the total amount updated to March 31, 2024, of R$9,021,041 (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.

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 March 31, 2024, which comprise the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, for three eriod then ended and changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the tree-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.
