Commercial Metals sees Q3 consolidated core EBITDA up meaningfully from Q2

Matt said, “We expect consolidated core EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to increase meaningfully from second quarter levels due to normal seasonal improvement within our key markets and continued margin strength across our North American footprint. North America Steel Group adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to rise modestly on a sequential basis on higher seasonal volumes, the impact of which will be partially offset by annual maintenance outages across the mill network that are expected to add approximately $15 million to $20 million in costs during the quarter. Financial results for the Construction Solutions Group are expected to nearly double compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Europe Steel Group adjusted EBITDA should improve substantially on higher seasonal volumes, modestly improved metal margins, and the anticipated receipt of an approximately $20 million CO2 credit. In our U.S. market, we have not yet experienced any direct impact from the war in Iran, but continue to closely monitor the situation for potential demand disruptions or cost inflation. Energy costs in Europe have risen, though the magnitude of the financial effect will depend on the duration of the conflict.”
