Third Quarter of 2026 Outlook Compared to the Second Quarter of 2026 We expect higher consolidated reported earnings in the third quarter of 2026. In the steel mills segment we expect an increase in earnings due to higher realized pricing across all major product categories with stable volumes. In the steel products segment, we expect increased earnings due to both higher volumes and higher realized pricing. The raw materials segment is expected to have decreased earnings due to lower margins.
