Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“Pro Forma Financial Information”) of Commercial Metals Company (“CMC” or the “Company”) was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and gives pro forma effect to the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding equity securities of the entities that own Foley Products Company, LLC (“Foley” and such transaction, the “Foley Acquisition”) (as further described in Note 1), as well as the issuance of the related Senior Notes (as defined and further described in Note 1). The Foley Acquisition and the issuance of the Senior Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.” The Pro Forma Financial Information includes adjustments (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) intended to illustrate the estimated pro forma effects of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of August 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of CMC as of August 31, 2025 and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Foley as of September 30, 2025, giving effect to the Transactions, as if they had occurred on August 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated statement of earnings of CMC for the year ended August 31, 2025 and the historical consolidated statement of earnings of Foley for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 1, 2024. The historical consolidated statement of earnings for Foley for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 was prepared by combining the historical consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 with the historical consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 derived from Foley’s books and records (as presented in Note 3) giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 1, 2024.
The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to Pro Forma Financial Information and the following:
| • | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CMC as of and for the year ended August 31, 2025, included in CMC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 16, 2025; |
| • | the historical unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Foley as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, included as .2 to this Form 8-K; and |
| • | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Foley as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included as to this Form 8-K. |
The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated or that the combined company may achieve in future periods. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable and supportable. As the Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on these assumptions, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented herein. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Information does not reflect any operating synergies, dis-synergies, or cost savings that may result from the Foley Acquisition.
All terms defined in this .3 are used solely for the purposes of this .3 and do not apply to any other sections of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Amounts in the Pro Forma Financial Information below may not foot and cross foot due to immaterial rounding differences.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(in thousands, unless otherwise specified)
NOTE 1 – Description of Transactions and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Transactions
Foley Acquisition – On October 15, 2025 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of entities that own Foley for a cash purchase price of approximately $1.84 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as described in the Agreement. The Foley Acquisition closed on December 15, 2025 and was funded from a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the Senior Notes (as described below). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company did not acquire Foley’s debt. Refer to Note 4 for details of the acquisition accounting treatment and preliminary purchase price allocation.
Senior Notes – On November 26, 2025, in connection with the Foley Acquisition, the Company issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Notes”) and $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2033 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) with U.S. Bank, National Association, the trustee of the Senior Notes, acting as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The 2033 Senior Notes will mature on November 15, 2033 and the 2035 Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2035.
The 2033 Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.750% per annum and the 2035 Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.000% per annum. Interest on the 2033 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 and interest on the 2035 Notes is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. None of the Company’s subsidiaries guarantee the Senior Notes.
In connection with issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred $21.3 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs have been capitalized and reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet within long-term debt. The debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the Senior Notes and reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings within interest expense.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Transactions had occurred on August 31, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2025 gives effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on September 1, 2024.
The preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information was based upon CMC’s fiscal year end, which ends on August 31. Foley’s fiscal year end is December 31. Given the difference between CMC’s year end and Foley’s year end is more than one quarter, the Company combined the historical consolidated statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 of CMC and the historical consolidated statement of earnings for the period October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 (i.e., the twelve months ended September 30, 2025) of Foley. The historical consolidated
statement of earnings of Foley for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 was prepared by combining Foley’s historical consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 with the statement of earnings for the three-month period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 derived from Foley’s books and records (as presented in Note 3). As such, Foley’s statement of earnings information for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 is within one quarter of CMC’s statement of earnings information for the year ended August 31, 2025.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information are those set out in CMC’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025. Management performed a preliminary review of the accounting policies between CMC and Foley and is currently not aware of any material differences. Therefore, the Company has not made any adjustments to the Pro Forma Financial Information related to potential differences.
The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated or that the combined company may achieve in future periods. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable and supportable. As the Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on these assumptions, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented herein. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Information does not reflect any operating synergies, dis-synergies, or cost savings that may result from the Foley Acquisition.
NOTE 2 – Foley Balance Sheet Reclassification Adjustments
Certain reclassifications are reflected to conform Foley’s presentation to CMC’s presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

NOTE 4 – Accounting Treatment and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the pro forma effect of the Foley Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the Company being the acquiring entity.
In accordance with ASC 805, we assign fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed using our best estimates and assumptions as of the Foley Acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on certain valuation techniques dependent on the asset class of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed including intangible assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and leases. The preliminary fair value of customer backlog and customer relationships were determined using the Multi Period Excess Earnings and With and Without Methods, while the trade names were determined using the Relief-from-Royalty Method. The estimated fair values are preliminary and subject to change upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. A final determination of the fair value of Foley’s assets and liabilities will be performed within one year of the acquisition date. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may be materially different than what is reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein.
Preliminary Purchase Consideration
The Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the acquisition of Foley for cash consideration of approximately $1.84 billion. The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred on the closing date is the value of the cash consideration transferred to the sellers. As the Company did not pay any material sellers’ transaction costs, no amounts related to such have been reflected within the Pro Forma Financial Information.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the acquisition date fair value. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may be materially different than the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the estimated pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of fair values and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition.
