Forward-Looking Statements
2Q4 FY25 Supplemental Slides October 16, 2025 Financial Information of CP&P and Foley; Pro Forma and Combined Company Measures This presentation contains unaudited financial information about CP&P and Foley, some of which reflects preliminary estimates and forecasts based on currently available information and management estimates. This presentation does not contain a comprehensive statement of CP&P’s or Foley’s respective actual financial results or position. Actual results may be different from this preliminary and/or forecasted information and any such changes may be material. Investors should not place undue reliance upon the preliminary estimates and forecasts. Estimates and forecasts are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of management’s control. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” This presentation also includes pro forma and combined company forward-looking financial information that gives effect to the consummation of the acquisitions of CP&P and Foley (together, the “Acquisitions”). Pro forma and combined company forward-looking financial information included herein is presented for illustrative purposes only and is based upon available information that is preliminary in nature, as well as certain assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable. This pro forma and combined company forward-looking financial information may not necessarily reflect what our results of operations and financial position would have been had the Acquisitions occurred during the periods presented herein or what our results of operations and financial position will be in the future. The pro forma financial information presented herein has not been prepared and presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X. The assumptions and estimates underlying the combined company forward-looking financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information, including the risks and uncertainties described under “Forward-Looking Statements” above. The Company’s auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying financial information. Acquisition Risks Although certain information included in this presentation generally assumes consummation of the Acquisitions and we expect that the Acquisitions will result in benefits to the Company, we may be unable to consummate the Acquisitions on a timely basis or at all, and if the Acquisitions are consummated, we may not realize the anticipated benefits because of integration difficulties, increased debt and other challenges. The success of the Acquisitions will depend, in large part, on CMC’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the Acquisitions.

7 Pursuing Excellence: Update on Transform, Advance, Grow (TAG) Program The enterprise-wide, transformational, capital-light TAG program aims to drive higher through-the-cycle margins, earnings, and cash flows and improved ROIC. The effort includes 150+ individual initiatives across operational, commercial, and support functions. Benefits from these initiatives are expected to continue to generate value long after TAG fully matures.

30 ADJUSTED EARNINGS Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to earnings (loss) before asset impairments, including the estimated income tax effects thereof. The adjustment “settlement for New Markets Tax Credit transaction” represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company’s participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Adjusted earnings also excludes litigation expense and unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted earnings provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted earnings may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (or adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted earnings on a diluted per share basis. CORE EBITDA Core EBITDA is the sum of net earnings (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. It also excludes recurring non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog, and unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges. Core EBITDA also excludes litigation expense, settlement for New Market Tax Credit transactions, non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishments, gains on sale of assets, acquisition settlements, acquisition and integration related costs, and purchase accounting effect on inventory. The adjustment “litigation expense” represents a provision recorded in the three months ended November 30, 2024 related to the judgment in the Pacific Steel Group litigation and, with respect to subsequent periods, interest expense on the judgment amount. The adjustment “settlement for New Markets Tax Credit transaction” represents the recognition of deferred revenue from 2016 and 2017 resulting from the Company’s participation in the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 during the development of a micro mill, spooler and T-post shop located in eligible zones as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Core EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to earnings (loss) from continuing operations or net earnings (loss), or as a better measure of liquidity than net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP. However, we believe that Core EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is often used by analysts, creditors and other interested parties in our industry as it allows: (i) comparison of our earnings to those of our competitors; (ii) a supplemental measure of our ongoing core performance; and (iii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Additionally, Core EBITDA is the target benchmark for our annual and long-term cash incentive performance plans for management. Core EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company’s net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, amortization of acquired unfavorable contract backlog, and unrealized (gain) loss on undesignated commodity hedges. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to investors as it allows: (i) a supplemental measure of our ongoing performance and (ii) the assessment of period-to-period performance trends. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company modified its method of calculating adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses on undesignated commodity derivatives. This change was primarily driven by heightened volatility in copper forward markets, which introduced significant non-cash fluctuations unrelated to core operations. By removing this volatility, the revised metric provides a more representative view of operating performance and cash-generating capability. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the impact of this change on prior-period disclosures and has recast adjusted EBITDA, core EBITDA, core EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share for all periods presented in this presentation. DISCRETIONARY CASH FLOW Discretionary Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization (used as a proxy for sustaining capital expenditures) less interest expense, less net cash income taxes paid less dividend payments plus stock- based compensation plus a litigation-related loss associated with the PSG litigation. NET DEBT Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. NET LEVERAGE Net leverage is defined as net debt divided by trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL Return on Invested Capital is defined as: 1) after-tax operating profit divided by 2) total assets less cash & cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing liabilities. For annual measures, trailing 5-quarter averages are used for balance sheet figures. Q4 FY25 Supplemental Slides October 16, 2025 Definitions for non-GAAP financial measures
