Strong Financial Performance
Commercial Metals Company reported net earnings of $83.1 million or $0.73 per diluted share on net sales of $2 billion. Adjusted earnings were $84.4 million or $0.74 per diluted share. Consolidated core EBITDA was $204.1 million with a core EBITDA margin of 10.1%, both of which improved meaningfully on a sequential basis.
Resilient Demand and Market Conditions
Construction and industrial activity resulted in year-over-year growth of finished steel shipments. Downstream bid volumes remained robust, pointing to substantial pent-up demand across nonresidential markets. Infrastructure activity demand is strengthening, particularly in key Sunbelt states.
Strategic Initiatives and Growth Plans
The TAG program is expected to yield approximately $50 million of EBITDA benefit in fiscal year 2025, with annual run rate benefits of over $100 million when fully realized. Investments in new projects like Arizona two and Steel West Virginia are expected to contribute over $150 million in incremental EBITDA.
Europe Market Improvement
Europe Steel Group reported adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million for the third quarter compared to a loss of $4.2 million in the prior year. Improvement was driven by reduced import flows of long steel products and growing demand from construction markets.
Inorganic Growth Potential
Commercial Metals Company is exploring inorganic growth opportunities in the early-stage construction market, targeting segments with EBITDA margins above 20% and free cash flow conversion above current levels.
