\n
\n Financial Review
<\/u>

Downstream steel product shipments to outside customers in the second quarter of 2021 increased 9% from the first quarter of 2021 and increased 18% from the second quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n

In the first six months of 2021, Nucor’s consolidated net sales of $15.81 billion<\/span> were an increase of \u00a059% compared with consolidated net sales of $9.95 billion<\/span> reported in the first six months of 2020.

The average scrap and scrap substitute cost per gross ton used in the first six months of 2021 was $431<\/span>, a 49% increase compared to $289<\/span> in the first six months of 2020.<\/p>\n

Included in the second quarter of 2021 earnings is a $42.0 million<\/span>, or $0.11<\/span> per diluted share, non-cash impairment charge related to our leasehold interest in unproved oil and natural gas properties. This charge is included in the raw materials segment.<\/p>\n

Pre-operating and start-up costs related to the Company’s growth projects were approximately $22 million<\/span>, or $0.06<\/span> per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021, compared with approximately $19 million<\/span>, or $0.05<\/span> per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021 and approximately $22 million<\/span>, or $0.06<\/span> per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n

Operating rates in the first six months of 2021 increased to 96% as compared to 79% in the first six months of 2020.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Financial Strength
<\/u>
\n <\/b>At the end of the second quarter of 2021, we had $3.21 billion<\/span> in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company’s $1.50 billion<\/span> revolving credit facility remains undrawn and does not expire until April 2023.\u00a0 Nucor continues to have the strongest credit rating in the North American steel sector (Baa1\/A-) with stable outlooks at both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Commitment to Returning Capital to Stockholders
<\/u>
\n <\/b>In May 2021<\/span>, the board of directors approved the repurchase of up to $3.00 billion<\/span> of the Company’s common stock and terminated any previously authorized repurchase programs. Share repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or through private transactions or block trades. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase authorization is discretionary and has no expiration date.<\/p>\n

During the second quarter of 2021, Nucor repurchased approximately 6.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $90.80<\/span> per share (12.1 million shares year-to-date at an average price of $75.43<\/span> per share). As of July 3, 2021<\/span>, Nucor had approximately 293,695,000\u00a0shares outstanding\u00a0and approximately $2.80 billion<\/span> remaining for repurchases under its newly authorized share repurchase program. <\/p>\n

On June 8, 2021<\/span>, Nucor’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.405<\/span> per share. This cash dividend is payable on August 11, 2021<\/span> to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2021<\/span> and is Nucor’s 193rd<\/sup> consecutive quarterly cash dividend.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Second Quarter of 2021 Analysis
<\/u>
\n <\/b>All three operating segments are continuing to generate robust profitability as overall strong demand is supporting higher average selling prices. Earnings of the steel mills segment significantly improved in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the significant increase in profitability of our sheet and plate mills. The steel products segment’s earnings in the second quarter of 2021 also increased from the first quarter of 2021. The steel mills segment and the steel products segment set new records for profitability in the second quarter of 2021. After setting a new record for segment earnings in the first quarter of 2021, earnings from the raw materials segment decreased in the second quarter of 2021 due to increased raw material input costs and the previously mentioned impairment charge.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Third Quarter of 2021 Outlook
<\/u>
\n <\/b>We expect earnings in the third quarter of 2021 to be the highest quarterly earnings in Nucor history, surpassing the record set in the second quarter of 2021. The primary drivers for the expected increase in earnings in the third quarter of 2021 are improved pricing and margins in the steel mills segment. We expect increased profitability across the steel mills segment, with the largest increase at our sheet mills. The steel products segment and the raw materials segment are expected to have increased earnings in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Forward-Looking Statements
<\/u>
\n <\/b>Certain statements contained in this news release are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” and similar expressions are intended to identify those forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s best judgment based on current information, and, although we base these statements on circumstances that we believe to be reasonable when made, there can be no assurance that future events will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking information. As such, the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may vary materially from the projected results and expectations discussed in this news release. Factors that might cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) competitive pressure on sales and pricing, including pressure from imports and substitute materials; (2) U.S. and foreign trade policies affecting steel imports or exports; (3) the sensitivity of the results of our operations to prevailing market steel prices and changes in the supply and cost of raw materials, including pig iron, iron ore and scrap steel; (4) the availability and cost of electricity and natural gas, which could negatively affect our cost of steel production or result in a delay or cancellation of existing or future drilling within our natural gas drilling programs; (5) critical equipment failures and business interruptions; (6) market demand for steel products, which, in the case of many of our products, is driven by the level of nonresidential construction activity in the United States<\/span>; (7) impairment in the recorded value of inventory, equity investments, fixed assets, goodwill or other long-lived assets; (8) uncertainties surrounding the global economy, including excess world capacity for steel production; (9) fluctuations in currency conversion rates; (10) significant changes in laws or government regulations affecting environmental compliance, including legislation and regulations that result in greater regulation of greenhouse gas emissions that could increase our energy costs, capital expenditures and operating costs or cause one or more of our permits to be revoked or make it more difficult to obtain permit modifications; (11) the cyclical nature of the steel industry; (12) capital investments and their impact on our performance; (13) our safety performance; and (14) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These and other factors are discussed in Nucor’s regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Nucor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020<\/span>. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release speak only as of this date, and Nucor does not assume any obligation to update them, except as may be required by applicable law.<\/p>\n
