EX-99.1 2 cmc-5312026xearningsreleas.htm EX-99.1 Document Exhibit No. 99.1 News Release CMC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026 RESULTS • Third quarter net earnings of $173.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $193.0 million, or $1.73 per diluted share
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can reassess CMC’s earnings power and balance-sheet risk after quantified YoY improvements in core EBITDA/margins and a stated deleveraging milestone (<2x), plus segment-specific drivers (North America steel margins, precast/Tensar, Europe CBAM/CO2 credit).
Market read
A fresh, primary-source earnings release with multiple quantified metrics and leverage update can move positioning and expectations for Q4.
What to watch
Watch whether the <2x leverage trajectory is sustained without further working-capital swings, and whether Europe’s CBAM/trade-policy benefits persist beyond July 1, 2026.
Background
The filing is an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) attaching a news release with CMC’s fiscal third-quarter results and segment commentary.
Ticker impact
CMC filed an 8-K with fiscal Q3 results: net earnings $173.0M, core EBITDA $353.6M (+78.6% YoY), and net leverage reduced to <2x.
Likely positive bias for the stock into/after the earnings window, with follow-through dependent on Q4 demand/backlog commentary.
The filing provides multiple quantified performance metrics (earnings, EBITDA, margins, leverage) and segment drivers, but no explicit forward guidance numbers beyond qualitative Q4 positioning.
Market effects
Steel/metal margins and construction demand read-through: CMC highlights scrap-price dynamics and infrastructure/data-center/energy backlog as key drivers.
Europe Steel Group improves on CO2 credit and CBAM-driven demand; sequential shipment growth suggests regional policy tailwinds.
Signals continued resilience in non-residential construction and steel pricing/margin environment, with acquisitions (precast) contributing to earnings power.
Counterpoint
Despite strong YoY, CMC notes sequential margin compression from higher scrap costs and weather/outage disruptions—Q4 strength may be more normalization than trend.
