Operational and financial highlightsof 2Q22


DIVERSIFICATION HELPING TO MITIGATETHE INSTABILITY INCREASE IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Although the mining segment was impacted by a lower<br>price realization in 2Q22, the steel industry was able to present a resilient performance, along with other businesses, such as cement,<br>logistics and energy that also had a solid operational performance.<br><br><br><br>As a result, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reachedBRL3.3 billion with an EBITDA margin of 31%. INCREASED PRODUCTION AND SALESIN MINING, DESPITE LOWER PRICE REALIZATION<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The quarter was led by a price realization below<br>than what was seen in the previous quarter, due to the retraction of Platts price, the increase in freight cost and the negative effect<br>of the provisioned price adjustment.<br><br><br><br>As a result, the mining segment had an AdjustedEBITDA of BRL931 million, with a margin of 36%.
PRICE INCREASE IN THE STEEL INDUSTRYHELPED TO OFFSET THE GROWING UNCERTAINTIES VERIFIED IN THE QUARTER<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>A sharp price increase at the beginning of<br>the quarter helped to offset the cost pressure and weaker volume shown in the period, mainly due to a downtrend in the European market<br>and an irregular behavior in the local market.<br><br><br><br>Therefore, the EBITDA margin of the segment remained<br>at 25%, even with the costs pressure.

STRONG RECOVERY IN THE CEMENTSEGMENT<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>After a weaker start of 2022, due to seasonality<br>and cost inflation, the cement segment presented a strong recovery in 2Q22, with both volume and price growth.<br><br><br><br>As a result, the Adjusted EBITDA in the segment showed<br>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<br>in 2Q22, representing a 10.2% decline when compared to 1Q22. This result is mainly a consequence of Platts’ negative price adjustments<br>in the mining segment, that ended up offsetting the higher sales volume in the period.
· The cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled<br>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<br>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,<br>negatively impacted the gross margin that reached 28% in 2Q22 and was 9.6 p.p. lower than 1Q22. This performance mainly reflects<br>the price contraction observed in the mining segment.
--- ---
· In 2Q22, sales, general and administrativeexpenses totaled BRL651 million, a level 10.8% higher than 1Q22, as a consequence of the better commercial activity observed in the<br>period for the mining and cement segments, generating a higher freight expense, further enhanced by the increase in the C3 route in the<br>quarter.
--- ---
· The group of other operating income and expenses<br>was negative in BRL638 million in 2Q22, mainly affected by the hedge accounting cash flow operations that totaled BRL342 million in the<br>period.
--- ---
· The financial result was BRL890 million<br>negative in 2Q22, representing a 21% decline compared to the previous quarter, as a consequence of the currency exchange rate, but partially<br>offset by the devaluation of Usiminas shares.

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

· In 2Q22, the Company's net income was BRL369million, a result 73% lower than last quarter, highlighting the Platts price adjustment impact in the Company, which was partially<br>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<br>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<br>of the performance in the mining segment, with the lower realization of iron ore prices during the period. When you look at others segments,<br>there is stability in the steel industry and a strong recovery in profitability for cement, which once again presented margins above 30%<br>(it was 34.2% in 2Q22).

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 totaledBRL4,301 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:

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 secondquarter 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<br>to ANFAVEA (National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the production in the second quarter registered 596,000 units,<br>a 20% increase when compared to last quarter and an 8.1% increase compared to the same period of 2021.

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 ofiron 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 (USD141.6/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)<br><br> <br> Sales Volume - Mining<br><br><br><br>(thousand tons)<br><br><br>
· Iron ore production totaled 8,283 ktons<br>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,<br>a performance 9.3% higher than the previous quarter as a result of the drier period observed throughout the quarter, enabling an increase<br>in port shipments. To contextualize this performance, the sales volume for the foreign market was 15.2% higher than in 1Q22. However,<br>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<br>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<br>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<br>and commercial activity presented in the period. Unitary net revenue was $72.03 per wet ton, down 33% from 1Q22, a performance<br>that reflects not only the lower price of the index benchmark, but also the impact of more expensive sea freight and a negative realization<br>of provisioned price from previous quarters in the period.
--- ---
· The cost of goods sold from<br>mining totaled BRL1,832 million in 2Q22, an increase of 14.8% compared to the previous quarter, as a result of the higher volume<br>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<br>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<br>compensating for the greater dilution of fixed cost due to the increase in the volume produced, the exchange rate impact and the reduction<br>of the cost in TECAR.

· Adjusted EBITDA reached BRL931 million in2Q22, 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,<br>together with increases in C1 costs, freight and greater participation of third-party volumes were the main responsible for the decrease<br>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<br>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<br>as a result of the price increase of imported coke and freight distribution costs.

· After all, Adjusted EBITDA increased<br>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<br>the margin recorded in 1Q22. This improvement reflects the Company's ability to generate results even<br>in a period of inflationary pressure, highlighting not only the strength of the brand, but also all the operational efficiency of CSN's<br>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 netrevenue 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.

ESG RATINGS


In the second half of 2022 there was an evolution in the Company's performance in the MSCI and Mood's ESG - V.E. and TPI (Transition Pathway Initiative) global initiative that assesses the maturity of companies in relation to the transition to a low-carbon economy.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Mining and Cements


Electrification of vehicles in Casa de Pedra andCSN 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.

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”)

On the same date, the Company deposited in an Escrow Account with Banco Santander the amount of US$50 million as part of the negotiations for the acquisition of LafargeHolcim, see note 9.f.

· Logistics:

Railroads:

CSN has interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística S.A., which manages the former Southeast Railway System of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A (“RFFSA”)., Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“TLSA”) and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A.

(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.

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. Its Management understands that new deadlines for the completion of the project will not substantially negatively imply the expected return on investment.

Management relies on resources from its shareholders and third parties to complete the work, which it expects to be available, based on previously concluded 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 statements was considered appropriate.

On September 9, 2021, CSN Cimentos S.A., a non-publicly held subsidiary of CSN, and which concentrates the group's cement manufacturing and sales operations ("CSN Cimentos") entered into a stock purchase agreement through which it intends to acquire 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares issued by LafargeHolcim, with the Company as guarantor of its obligations. The business was valued at a base value of US$1.025 billion, subject to price adjustment and the amount held in escrow, in addition to the other terms and conditions provided for in the respective contract, including approval by CADE. On that same date, the Company deposited in an escrow account the amount of US$50 million as part of the negotiations for the acquisition.

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.

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 financial statements 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.

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 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
Trade receivables 162,425 5,898
Financial investments 24,651
Other assets 57,323 (32)
Total Assets 1,613,146 12,139
Borrowings and financing (4,585,007) (7,000)
Trade payables (489,347) (2,742)
Other liabilities (16,176) (5)
Total Liabilities (5,090,530) (9,747)
Foreign exchange exposure (3,477,384) 2,392
Cash flow hedge accounting 4,262,190

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%

(*) The sensitivity analysis is based on the premise of maintaining the market values as of June 30, 2022, 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:

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.

· Credit risk

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

With respect 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 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.

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 financial statements at their amortized cost, 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:

(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.

--- ---

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) Values of the indicators thatare the subject of the forecast.

The values can be found above in item 11.1 a).

11.2 In the event that the issuer has disclosed,during the last 3 fiscal years, projections on the evolution of its indicators:

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 toperiods already elapsed, compare the projected data with the effective performance of the indicators, clearly indicating the reasons thatled 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.

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.
