3.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company is organized in two reportable segments: Steel and Mining.

The Steel segment includes the sales of steel products, which comprises slabs, hot rolled coils and sheets, cold rolled coils and sheets, tin plate, welded pipes, hot dipped galvanized and electro-galvanized sheets, pre-painted sheets, billets (steel in its basic, semi-finished state), wire rod and bars and other tailor-made products to serve its customers’ requirements. It also includes the sales of energy.

The Steel segment comprises four operating segments: Mexico, Southern Region, Brazil and Other markets. These four segments have been aggregated considering the economic characteristics and financial effects of each business activity in which the entity engages; the related economic environment in which it operates; the type or class of customer for the products; the nature of the products; and the production processes. The Mexico operating segment comprises the Company’s businesses in Mexico. The Southern region operating segment manages the businesses in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay. The Brazil operating segment includes the business generated in Brazil. The Other markets operating segment includes businesses mainly in United States, Colombia, Guatemala and Germany.

The Mining segment includes the sales of mining products, mainly iron ore and pellets, and comprises the mining activities of Las Encinas, an iron ore mining company in which Ternium holds a 100% equity interest and the 50% of the operations and results performed by Peña Colorada, another iron ore mining company in which Ternium maintains that same percentage over its equity interest. Both mining operations are located in Mexico. For Peña Colorada, the Company recognizes its assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in relation to its interest in the joint operation.

Ternium’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) holds monthly meetings with senior management, in which operating and financial performance information is reviewed, including financial information that differs from IFRS principally as follows:

-The use of direct cost methodology to calculate the inventories, while under IFRS is at full cost, including absorption of production overheads and depreciation.

-The use of costs based on previously internally defined cost estimates, while, under IFRS, costs are calculated at historical cost (with the FIFO method).

-Other timing and non-significant differences.

Most information on segment assets is not disclosed as it is not reviewed by the CEO.

Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. - USIMINAS

As of March 31, 2022, Ternium, through its subsidiaries, owns a total of 242.6 million ordinary shares and 8.5 million preferred shares, representing 20.4% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. – USIMINAS (“Usiminas”), one of the main producers of flat steel products in Brazil for the energy, automotive and other industries.

Ternium, through its subsidiaries, together with Tenaris S.A.’s Brazilian subsidiary Confab Industrial S.A. (“TenarisConfab”), are part of Usiminas’ control group, comprising the so-called T/T Group. As of March 31, 2022, the Usiminas control group holds, in the aggregate, 483.6 million ordinary shares bound to the Usiminas shareholders’ agreement, representing approximately 68.6% of Usiminas’ voting capital. The Usiminas control group, which is bound by a long-term shareholders’ agreement that governs the rights and obligations of Usiminas’ control group members, is currently composed of three sub-groups: the T/T Group; the NSC Group, comprising Nippon Steel Corporation (“NSC”), Metal One Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation; and Usiminas’ pension fund Previdência Usiminas. The T/T Group holds approximately 47.1% of the total shares held by the control group (39.5% corresponding to the Ternium entities and the other 7.6% corresponding to TenarisConfab); the NSC Group holds approximately 45.9% of the total shares held by the control group; and Previdência Usiminas holds the remaining 7%.

9.INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES (continued)

The corporate governance rules reflected in the Usiminas shareholders agreement provide, among other things, that Usiminas’ executive board will be composed of six members, including the chief executive officer and five vice-presidents, with Ternium and NSC nominating three members each. The right to nominate Usiminas’ chief executive officer alternates between Ternium and NSC at every 4-year interval, with the party that does not nominate the chief executive officer having the right to nominate the chairman of Usiminas’ board of directors for the same 4-year period. The Usiminas shareholders agreement also provides for an exit mechanism consisting of a buy-and-sell procedure—exercisable at any time after November 16, 2022 and applicable with respect to shares held by NSC and the T/T Group—, which would allow either Ternium or NSC to purchase all or a majority of the Usiminas shares held by the other shareholder.

As of March 31, 2022, the closing price of the Usiminas ordinary and preferred shares, as quoted on the BM&F Bovespa Stock Exchange, was BRL 13.04 (approximately $ 2.75; December 31, 2021: BRL 14.51 – $ 2.60) per ordinary share and BRL 13.97 (approximately $ 2.95; December 31, 2021: BRL 15.16 – $ 2.72) per preferred share, respectively. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, Ternium’s ownership stake had a market value of approximately $ 692.8 million ($ 653.9 million as of December 31, 2021) and a carrying value of $ 859.7 million ($ 681.7 million as of December 31, 2021).

Considering that the market value of Usiminas was slightly below the book value as of December 31, 2021, the Company decided to assess, for its year-end closing procedures, the recoverability of its investment in Usiminas as of such date, resulting in no impairment charges to be recognized. Although as of March 31, 2022, the market value continued to be below the book value, considering the financial results of Usiminas for the quarter and market expectations, there was no other objective evidence of impairment and, consequently, Management concluded that there was no need to recognize any impairment charges and that it would continue to review periodically the recoverability of this investment.

As of March 31, 2022, the value of the investment in Usiminas is comprised as follows:

Value of investment USIMINAS
As of January 1, 2022 681,711
Share of results (1) 51,687
Other comprehensive income (2) 126,350
As of March 31, 2022 859,748
(1) It includes the adjustment of the values associated to the purchase price allocation.
(2) It includes mainly the effect of the currency translation adjustment.

The investment in Usiminas is based on the following calculation:

Usiminas' shareholders' equity 4,840,739
Percentage of interest of the Company over shareholders' equity 20.40 %
Interest of the Company over shareholders' equity 986,998
Purchase price allocation 64,134
Goodwill 219,391
Impairment (410,775)
Total Investment in Usiminas 859,748

On April 20, 2022, Usiminas issued its consolidated interim accounts as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

10.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

Contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distributions of profits should be read in Note 24 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(i) Tax claims and other contingencies

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) - Tender offer litigation

In 2013, the Company was notified of a lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, or CSN, and various entities affiliated with CSN against Ternium Investments, its subsidiary Ternium Argentina, and TenarisConfab. The entities named in the CSN lawsuit had acquired a participation in Usiminas in January 2012. The CSN lawsuit alleges that, under applicable Brazilian laws and rules, the acquirers were required to launch a tag-along tender offer to all non-controlling holders of Usiminas ordinary shares for a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share paid in such acquisition, or BRL 28.8, and seeks an order to compel the acquirers to launch an offer at that price plus interest. If so ordered, the offer would need to be made to 182,609,851 ordinary shares of Usiminas not belonging to Usiminas’ control group; Ternium Investments and Ternium Argentina’s respective shares in the offer would be 60.6% and 21.5%.

On September 23, 2013, the first instance court dismissed the CSN lawsuit, and on February 8, 2017, the court of appeals of São Paulo maintained the understanding of the first instance court. On March 6, 2017, CSN filed a motion for clarification against the decision of the court of appeals, which was rejected on July 19, 2017. On August 18, 2017, CSN filed with the court of appeals an appeal seeking the review and reversal of the decision issued by the court of appeals by the Superior Court of Justice. On March 5, 2018, the court of appeals ruled that CSN’s appeal did not meet the requirements for review by the Superior Court of Justice and rejected such appeal. On May 8, 2018, CSN appealed against such ruling and on January 22, 2019, the court of appeals rejected such appeal and ordered that the case be submitted to the Superior Court of Justice. On September 10, 2019, the Superior Court of Justice declared CSN’s appeal admissible. The Superior Court of Justice will review the case and will then render a decision on the merits. The Superior Court of Justice is restricted to the analysis of alleged violations to federal laws and cannot assess matters of fact.

Ternium continues to believe that all of CSN’s claims and allegations are groundless and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian legal counsel, two decisions issued by the Brazilian securities regulator (CVM) in February 2012 and December 2016, and the first and second instance court decisions referred to above. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

10.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS (continued)

Shareholder claims relating to the October 2014 acquisition of Usiminas shares

On April 14, 2015, the staff of the CVM, determined that an acquisition of additional ordinary shares of Usiminas by Ternium Investments made in October 2014, triggered a requirement under applicable Brazilian laws and regulations for Usiminas’ controlling shareholders to launch a tender offer to all non-controlling holders of Usiminas ordinary shares. The CVM staff’s determination was made further to a request by NSSMC and its affiliates, who alleged that Ternium’s 2014 acquisition had exceeded a threshold that triggers the tender offer requirement. In the CVM staff’s view, the 2014 acquisition exceeded the applicable threshold by 5.2 million shares. On April 29, 2015, Ternium filed an appeal to be submitted to the CVM’s Board of Commissioners. On May 5, 2015, the CVM staff confirmed that the appeal would be submitted to the Board of Commissioners and that the effects of the staff’s decision would be stayed until such Board rules on the matter.

On June 15, 2015, upon an appeal filed by NSSMC, the CVM staff changed its earlier decision and stated that the obligation to launch a tender offer would fall exclusively on Ternium. Ternium’s appeal has been submitted to the CVM’s Board of Commissioners which has no set timeframe to resolve on the matter. In addition, on April 18, 2018, Ternium filed a petition with the CVM’s reporting Commissioner requesting that the applicable threshold for the tender offer requirement be recalculated taking into account the new ordinary shares issued by Usiminas in connection with its 2016 BRL 1 billion capital increase and that, in light of the replenishment of the threshold that would result from such recalculation, the CVM staff’s 2015 determination be set aside. In the event the appeal is not successful, under applicable CVM rules Ternium may elect to sell to third parties the 5.2 million shares allegedly acquired in excess of the threshold, in which case no tender offer would be required.

(ii) Commitments

(a) In March 2022, Ternium Brasil S.A. entered into a contract with Unicarbo Ltda. for the supply of petcoke. This agreement is due to terminate on March 2023 and the outstanding amount was $ 247.6 million as of March 31, 2022. The contract has minimum monthly-required volumes.

(b) Ternium Argentina signed agreements to cover 80% of its required iron ore, pellets and iron ore fines volumes until December 31, 2024, for an estimated total amount of $ 1,341.9 million. Although they do not set a minimum amount or a minimum commitment to purchase a fixed volume, under certain circumstances a penalty is established for the party that fails of:

  • 7% in case the annual operated volume is between 70% and 75% of the total volume of purchases of the Company; such percentage is applied over the difference between the actual purchased volume and the 80% of the total volume of purchases.

  • 15% in case the annual operated volume is lower than 70% of the total volume of purchases of the Company; such percentage is applied over the difference between the actual purchased volume and the 80% of the total volume of purchases.

13.    FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS IN ARGENTINA

Ternium’s Argentine subsidiary, Ternium Argentina S.A., is currently operating in a complex and volatile economic environment. Beginning in September 2019, the Argentine government has imposed and continues to impose significant restrictions on foreign exchange transactions. Restrictions have tightened over time. These measures, however, have not had a significant effect on Ternium Argentina’s ability to purchase U.S. dollars at the prevailing official exchange rate for all of its imports of goods and for the acquisition of services from unrelated parties. By contrast, access to the Argentine foreign exchange market to distribute dividends or to pay royalties to related parties at the prevailing official exchange rate generally requires prior Argentine Central Bank approval, which is rarely, if ever, granted. In March 2022, the Argentine government imposed further restrictions to access the foreign exchange market for payment of imports. If such restrictions are maintained, or are further tightened, Ternium Argentina could be restricted from making payment of imports for key steelmaking inputs which would adversely affect its operations, or would need to resort to alternative, more expensive arrangements, which would affect its results of operations.

Ternium Argentina stated in its interim accounts as of March 31, 2022, and for the three-month period then ended, that revenues amounted to $ 872 million, net profit from continuing operations to $ 178 million, total assets to $ 5,105 million, total liabilities to $ 574 million and shareholders’ equity to $ 4,531 million.

Ternium Argentina’s cash and cash equivalents and other investments amounted to $ 1,066 million as of March 31, 2022:

–$ 264 million in Argentine pesos-denominated instruments, mainly inflation-linked financial instruments ($ 126 million), such as bonds and bills adjusted by CER (Reference Stabilization Coefficient), and mutual funds ($ 129 million).

–$ 390 million in Argentine pesos-denominated instruments with underlying assets to the U.S. dollar (Cedears - Argentine deposit certificates)

–$ 412 million in U.S. dollars-denominated instruments, mainly sovereign bonds issued by the Argentine State and payable in U.S. dollars, national Treasury bonds related to the official exchange rate and negotiable obligations and promissory notes issued by national export driven companies in U.S. dollars and payable in Argentine pesos.

13.    FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS IN ARGENTINA (continued)

Ternium Argentina’s financial position in ARS as of March 31, 2022, amounted to $ 710 million in monetary assets and $ 268 million in monetary liabilities. All of Ternium Argentina’s ARS-denominated assets and liabilities are valued at the prevailing official exchange rate. Although most of Ternium Argentina’s cash holdings are either denominated or payable in ARS, this exposure to the ARS as of March 31, 2022, was diminished due to hedging strategies using derivative instruments amounting to $ 40 million.

  1. THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE ARMED CONFLICT

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. In response, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, among other countries, have imposed a wave of sanctions against certain Russian institutions, companies and citizens. As a result of the armed conflict and related sanctions, energy prices have spiked and foreign trade transactions involving Russian and Ukrainian counterparties have been severely affected.

Russia has a significant participation in the international trade of steel slabs, iron ore pellets, metallurgical coal, pulverized coal for injection, which are relevant inputs for Ternium’s operations. In addition, Ukraine has a relevant participation in the international trade of steel slabs and iron ore pellets. The availability and pricing of these inputs in the international markets are expected to be volatile and could result in limitations to Ternium’s production levels and higher costs, affecting the Company’s profitability and results of operations. As a result of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, Ternium or its contractors (including shipping companies) may not be able to continue purchasing or transporting products from, or making payments to, Ukrainian or Russian suppliers or counterparties; and the Company may not be able to promptly procure such raw materials from other suppliers, or may be required to purchase raw materials at increased prices.
