Net sales and shipments
Net sales were $1.3 billion higher sequentially in the third quarter of 2023, mainly as a result of an increase of $1.2 billion from the consolidation of Usiminas' sales.
In Mexico, volumes increased sequentially in the third quarter, driven mainly by higher shipments to commercial customers and increased demand from the country's automotive industry. On the other hand, revenue per ton decreased in this region reflecting lower market steel prices, partially offset by higher industrial contract prices.
As a result of the consolidation of Usiminas, steel shipments in Brazil increased 1.0 million tons sequentially in the third quarter. Shipments to industrial customers account for approximately 70% of total steel shipments in the country, with a significant participation of the Brazilian automotive sector.
In the Southern Region, Ternium's shipments increased 7% sequentially in the third quarter of 2023 mainly as a result of the consolidation of Usiminas shipments to this region. Revenue per ton in the period remained relatively unchanged compared to the prior quarter. In Argentina, steel demand from industrial and commercial customers in the third quarter was similar to that in the second quarter.
In Other Markets, the company's shipments increased 26% in the third quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter, reflecting the consolidation of Usiminas shipments in this region and higher shipments in the US market.
Results and capital allocation
Ternium's adjusted EBITDA decreased 22% sequentially in the third quarter of 2023 mainly due to the negative impact of lower steel prices in the USMCA region and higher cost of purchased slabs, partially offset by higher shipments in Mexico and Other Markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the period was affected by these variables, as well as by the consolidation of Usiminas' operating results, which recorded a very low level of profitability in the quarter.
Capital expenditures increased in the third quarter mainly due to the consolidation of Usiminas. The main projects carried out during the period were those for the relining of blast furnace #3 in the Ipatinga facilities and the construction of new downstream facilities in the Pesquería facilities.
During the period, Ternium acquired additional shares of Usiminas and announced an interim dividend payable to the company's shareholders on November 16, 2023.
Effects of the increase in the participation in Usiminas
On July 3, 2023, Ternium acquired an additional stake in Usiminas of 57.7 million ordinary shares, increasing its participation in the Usiminas control group to 51.5% and its economic participation to 23.3%. In addition, the Usiminas shareholders agreement was updated to reflect a new governance structure. Pursuant to the updated agreement, Ternium started to fully consolidate Usiminas balance sheet and results of operations. The increase in the participation in Usiminas resulted in a $1.1 billion non-cash net loss and a net $171 reduction in the value of Ternium's Equity.
Non-cash $935 million loss mainly due to the recycling of Currency Translation Adjustment (CTA) from Other Comprehensive Income to Net Results
As of June 30, 2023, items recognized in Other Comprehensive Income related to Ternium's previous stake in Usiminas amounted to a loss of $935 million. This negative reserve was mainly related to CTA losses due to the impact on Usiminas valuation of the depreciation, over the years, of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dollar, as Usiminas uses the Brazilian Real as its functional currency.
As a result of the increase in the participation in Usiminas, items recognized in Other Comprehensive Income related to Ternium's previous stake in Usiminas were recycled to the results of the period. The resulting loss is non-cash, it has no income tax effects and did not change the value of Ternium's equity.
Remeasurement of Ternium's stake in Usiminas
As a result of the purchase price allocation related to the business combination performed in the third quarter of 2023 and the remeasurement of Ternium's previous stake in Usiminas, the company registered a net loss of $171 million.
Recognition of contingencies as part of the business combination
As part of the business combination Ternium recognized Usiminas' contingencies of $656 million related to tax, civil, labor and other issues that were defined as "of no probable occurrence". These contingencies are not recognized in Usiminas' standalone balance sheet.
Interim Dividend Payment
Ternium's board of directors approved the payment of an interim dividend for 2023 of $1.10 per ADS ($0.11 per share), or $216 million in the aggregate. The interim dividend will be paid on November 16, 2023 to shareholders on record as of November 13, 2023. This represents an increase of 20 cents per ADS, or 22%, compared to last year's interim dividend.
Outlook
Ternium expects fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA to decrease compared to the third quarter, with lower adjusted EBITDA margin partially offset by slightly higher steel shipments. The company anticipates a sequential decrease in steel revenue per ton in the fourth quarter, reflecting lower realized prices in Mexico and Brazil.
In Mexico, the company expects apparent steel consumption to remain strong in the fourth quarter. Industrial sectors are showing healthy steel demand. Similarly, the commercial market continues to be very active due to low inventory levels and a recent improvement in steel benchmark prices. However, Ternium anticipates realized prices in Mexico to sequentially decrease in the fourth quarter, due primarily to the delayed impact of quarterly contract prices resetting at lower levels than in the third quarter.
In Brazil, Ternium expects shipments to remain relatively stable in most market sectors. In addition, the company anticipates realized steel prices to decrease in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter due to a recent decrease in prices of local steel finished products.
In Argentina, the company anticipates a sequential decrease in fourth quarter shipments due to seasonality and government-imposed restrictions on the importation of inputs required for production by the company and its value chain. The steel market also continues to be highly unpredictable, as it is unclear what government measures may be taken to address the country's ongoing macroeconomic challenges when a new administration takes office in December of 2023.
Analysis of Third Quarter of 2023 Results
Consolidated Steel Products Sales
Ternium reports its sales of steel products under the Steel and Usiminas segments. The consolidation of Usiminas resulted in a $1.2 billion sequential increase in net sales to third parties in the third quarter of 2023 (1.0 million tons). The Steel segment net sales remained relatively stable sequentially in the third quarter, as higher shipments of steel products were offset by a lower revenue per ton.
Particularly in Mexico, revenue per ton decreased sequentially in the third quarter reflecting lower market steel prices in the USMCA region, partially offset by higher industrial contract prices.
Ternium's steel shipments in Mexico achieved a new all-time high in the third quarter. Volumes to industrial customers continued growing supported by the company's new state-of-the-art facilities in Pesquería. In addition, shipments to commercial customers improved sequentially in the third quarter.
The consolidation of Usiminas' shipments led to a significant increase in reported steel volumes in Brazil and to a moderate increase in steel volumes in the Southern Region and Other Markets.
Mining Products Sales
Ternium reports intercompany and third-party sales of mining products under the Mining and Usiminas segments. The consolidation of Usiminas resulted in a $149 million sequential increase in net sales to third parties in the third quarter of 2023 (2.2 million tons).

Operating Income
The consolidation of Usiminas' financial statements did not add significant results at the operating income level in the third quarter of 2023.
The sequential decrease in Ternium's operating income in the third quarter was primarily due to lower steel prices in the USMCA region and higher purchased slab costs, partially offset by higher shipments in Mexico and Other Markets.

Net Financial Results
Net foreign exchange results in the third quarter of 2023 were a loss of $33 million, mainly due to the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US dollar on Usiminas' net short foreign currency position. Fair value of Ternium Argentina's financial investments increased during the period. The US dollar value of these investments is based on their Argentine Peso local market price, converted at the ARS/$ official exchange rate.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA equals net results adjusted to exclude net financial results, income tax results, depreciation and amortization, the equity in results of non-consolidated companies, and non-cash effects related to the increase in the participation in Usiminas, and, in the third quarter of 2023, adjusted to include the proportional EBITDA in Unigal (70% participation).
Adjusted EBITDA Margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2023 was $945 million, including a working capital reduction of $388 million.
The decrease in working capital was due to a $272 million decrease in inventories and an aggregate $270 million net increase in accounts payable and other liabilities, partially offset by an aggregate $153 million increase in trade and other receivables. Inventories decreased along Ternium's main operating subsidiaries, particularly Usiminas. The increase in accounts payable was also broad based.
The main capital expenditure projects carried out during the period were those for the relining of blast furnace #3 in Ipatinga, Brazil, those for the development of the new expansion projects in the industrial center in Pesquería, Mexico, and those for further improving environmental and safety conditions.
Ternium's free cash flow was $563 million in the third quarter of 2023. During the period, the company invested $119 million in the acquisition of additional shares of Usiminas. Ternium's net cash position as of September 30, 2023, included Ternium Argentina's total position of cash and cash equivalents and other investments of $1.3 billion. On November 16, 2023, the company will pay an interim dividend to shareholders of $1.10 per ADS.
Conference Call and Webcast
