Notes

On June 3, 2026, the Company completed acquisition of a majority interest (approximately 62%) in Kloeckner & Co SE. Results include Kloeckner from the acquisition date. Kloeckner’s results are reflected as consolidated operations with noncontrolling interests. Certain Kloeckner business units meeting held-for-sale criteria are reported as discontinued operations. A Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (DPLTA) was entered into on September 8, 2026, subject to Kloeckner shareholder approval and registration, expected to become effective no earlier than January 1, 2027. Adjusted EBITDA metric was updated to include full adjusted EBITDA of consolidated operations including noncontrolling interests; prior-year periods were recast to conform.
