紐柯鋼鐵公司 - 壓縮基本報表附註合併財務報表附註（未經審計）
1. 中期報告的基礎
在本項目1中提供的信息反映了所有調整，據管理層意見，這些調整在中期報告期間是必要的，以便對結果作出公正陳述，除非另有說明。提供的信息未經審計；但是，2023年12月31日的簡明合併資產負債表數據是從經過審計的基本報表中獲取的，但未包含美國通用會計原則要求的所有披露。本項目1中包含的未經審計的簡明合併財務報表應與工商業務的審計合併財務報表和附註一起閱讀，這些信息包含在Nucor截至2023年12月31日的年度報告10-k中。
最近的會計聲明
2023年11月，發佈了新的會計指導原則，更新了需要披露的報告分部要求，要求披露每個報告分部經常提供給首席營運決策者（「CODM」）幷包含在報告的每個分部利潤表中的重要報告分部費用的披露。這項新的指導也要求披露確定爲CODM的個人的頭銜和職位，以及CODM如何在評估分部績效和決定如何分配資源時使用報告的分部利潤表中的報告指標的說明。新的指導適用於2023年12月15日後開始的年度期間，以及2024年12月15日後開始的財年內的中期期間。新的指導要求對財務報表中呈現的所有以前期間進行追溯應用。也允許提早採納。當採納時，這項新的指導可能會導致額外的必要披露。公司正在評估採用這項新指導將對其合併財務報表產生的影響。
2023年12月，相關於所得稅披露的新會計準則被髮布。新的指引要求提供關於報告實體有效稅率調整的細分信息，以及關於已支付所得稅額外信息。新的指引從2024年12月15日後開始的年度期間起生效。提前採納也可以對尚未發佈或可供發行的年度財務報表進行採納。這項新指引在被採納後可能導致需要額外的披露。公司正在評估採納這一新指引對其合併財務報表的影響。

紐柯鋼鐵的現金及現金等價物、短期投資、限制性現金及現金等價物以及對一家上市核電設備製造商的投資的公允價值衡量被歸類爲一級，因爲這些衡量是基於活躍市場上相同資產的報價市場價格。紐柯鋼鐵的衍生品的公允價值衡量一般被歸類爲二級，因爲這些衡量是基於類似資產的已公佈市場價格或根據可觀察的輸入（如利率、收益曲線、信用風險、現貨和期貨商品價格以及現貨和期貨匯率）估算的。紐柯鋼鐵對非上市公司的投資，其中大部分是在一家核聚變技術公司中，其公允價值衡量被歸類爲三級，因爲這些衡量是基於指示公允價值變化的不可觀察輸入，包括在投資者持有公司權益發生變化時的交易價格（例如其他投資者持有的公司權益出售）或在投資者發行額外股權時的交易價格。在所述期間內，三級公允價值層次間沒有調整。

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements made in this report, or in other public filings, press releases, or other written or oral communications made by Nucor, which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which we expect will or may occur in the future and may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. 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 report. 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 general market conditions, and in particular, 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; (7) impairment in the recorded value of inventory, equity investments, fixed assets, goodwill or other long-lived assets; (8) uncertainties and volatility surrounding the global economy, including excess world capacity for steel production, inflation and interest rate changes; (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; (14) our ability to integrate businesses we acquire; (15) the impact of any pandemic or public health situation; and (16) the risks discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and elsewhere in this report.
Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. In evaluating forward-looking statements, these risks and uncertainties should be considered, together with the other risks described from time to time in our reports and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Nucor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Overview
Nucor and its affiliates manufacture steel and steel products. Nucor also produces DRI for use in its steel mills. Through DJJ, the Company also processes ferrous and nonferrous metals and brokers ferrous and nonferrous metals, pig iron, hot briquetted iron and DRI. Most of Nucor’s operating facilities and customers are located in North America. Nucor’s operations include international trading and sales companies that buy and sell steel and steel products manufactured by the Company and others. Nucor is North America’s largest recycler, using scrap steel as the primary raw material in producing steel and steel products.
Nucor reports its results in the following segments: steel mills, steel products and raw materials. The steel mills segment includes carbon and alloy steel in sheet, bars, structural and plate; steel trading and rebar distribution businesses; and Nucor’s equity method investment in NuMit. The steel products segment includes steel joists and joist girders, steel deck, fabricated concrete reinforcing steel, cold finished steel, precision castings, steel fasteners, metal building systems, insulated metal panels, overhead doors, steel grating, tubular products, steel racking, piling products, wire and wire mesh, and utility towers and structures. The raw materials segment includes DJJ, primarily a scrap broker and processor; Nu-Iron Unlimited and Nucor Steel Louisiana, two facilities that produce DRI used by the steel mills; and our natural gas production operations.
17
The average utilization rates of all operating facilities in the steel mills, steel products and raw materials segments were approximately 77%, 59% and 73%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2024 compared with approximately 80%, 66% and 74%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2023.
Results of Operations
Nucor reported net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $249.9 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $1.14 billion, or $4.57 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023.
Included in the third quarter of 2024 net earnings was $123.0 million of losses and impairments of assets (none in the third quarter of 2023). Of that amount, $83.0 million related to certain non-current assets in the raw materials segment and $40.0 million related to certain non-current assets in the steel products segment.
Excluding the losses and impairments of assets, the largest driver of the decrease in earnings in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was the decreased earnings of the steel mills segment. Though shipments to outside customers improved slightly in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023, metal margins decreased significantly as average selling prices decreased across all product groups within the steel mills segment. The steel products segment’s earnings in the third quarter of 2024 decreased significantly compared to the third quarter of 2023. The primary driver of the decrease in the earnings of the steel products segment was the decreased earnings of our joist and deck businesses, which had decreased average selling prices and lower volumes. Earnings in the raw materials segment decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to the decreased performance of our scrap processing and DRI operations.
Nucor reported net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $1.74 billion, or $7.22 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2024, as compared to net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $3.74 billion, or $14.83 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2023. Earnings decreased across all three segments for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023, with the largest decrease in the steel products segment. In the steel products segment, average selling prices for our joist and deck businesses have moderated from historically high levels and steadily declined from the beginning of 2023 through the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in average selling prices, combined with lower volumes for the joist and deck businesses, were the largest contributors to the decrease in the earnings of the steel products segment in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023. The steel mills segment's earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to lower metal margins caused by lower average selling prices and decreased volumes. Earnings in the raw materials segment decreased in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to the decreased earnings of our scrap processing and DRI operations.
The following discussion provides a greater quantitative and qualitative analysis of Nucor’s performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2023.

Net sales for the raw materials segment increased 9% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, due to increased tons shipped to outside customers by the scrap brokerage operations of DJJ. In the third quarter of 2024, approximately 93% of outside sales for the raw materials segment were from the scrap brokerage operations of DJJ, and approximately 3% of outside sales were from the scrap processing operations of DJJ (approximately 92% and 4%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2023).
Net sales for the raw materials segment increased 3% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023, due to increased tons shipped to outside customers by the scrap brokerage operations of DJJ. In the first nine months of 2024, approximately 93% of outside sales for the raw materials segment were from the scrap brokerage operations of DJJ, and approximately 4% of outside sales were from the scrap processing operations of DJJ (approximately 93% and 3%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2023).
20
Gross Margins
Nucor recorded gross margins of $757.9 million (10%) in the third quarter of 2024, which was a decrease compared to $1.92 billion (22%) in the third quarter of 2023.
Scrap and scrap substitutes are the most significant element in the total cost of steel production. In the steel mills segment, the average scrap and scrap substitute cost per gross ton used in the third quarter of 2024 was $378, a 9% decrease compared to $415 in the third quarter of 2023. Though scrap and scrap substitute costs decreased in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023, total metal margin dollars decreased as the decrease in average selling prices outpaced the decrease in scrap and scrap substitute costs.
Scrap prices are driven by the global supply and demand for scrap and other iron-based raw materials used to make steel. As we enter the fourth quarter of 2024, scrap prices are comparable to the third quarter of 2024.
Nucor recorded gross margins of $3.48 billion (15%) in the first nine months of 2024, which was a decrease compared to $6.42 billion (24%) in the first nine months of 2023.
21
Marketing, Administrative and Other Expenses
A major component of marketing, administrative and other expenses is profit sharing and other incentive compensation costs. These costs, which are based upon and fluctuate with Nucor’s financial performance, decreased by $119.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023, and decreased by $285.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023. These decreases were due to Nucor's decreased profitability in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 as compared to the respective prior year periods, which resulted in decreased accruals related to profit sharing.
Equity in (Earnings) Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $24.1 million and $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increases in equity method investment earnings were primarily due to the increased results of NuMit.
Losses and Impairments of Assets
Included in the third quarter of 2024 net earnings was $123.0 million of losses and impairments of assets (none in the third quarter of 2023). During the third quarter of 2024, management determined it was probable that a long-term note receivable in the raw materials segment was no longer collectable and recorded an $83.0 million impairment charge to fully reserve the note receivable. The remaining $40.0 million is related to certain non-current assets, mostly property, plant and equipment, net, related to a business in the steel products segment.

Interest expense increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to higher average interest rates on debt and an increase in average debt outstanding. Interest expense decreased in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 due to an increase in capitalized interest.
Interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in average investment levels. Interest income increased in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to an increase in average interest rates on cash investments.
Earnings Before Income Taxes and Noncontrolling Interests
The table below presents earnings before income taxes and noncontrolling interests by segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 and 2023 (in thousands). The changes between periods were driven by the quantitative and qualitative factors previously discussed.

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the income attributable to the holders of noncontrolling interests in Nucor’s joint ventures, NYS, CSI and NJSM. Nucor owns a 51% controlling interest in each of NYS, CSI and NJSM. The decrease in earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the decreased earnings of NYS and CSI, and the losses of NJSM in the current year (NJSM was not included in noncontrolling interests until the fourth quarter of 2023, when Nucor obtained a controlling interest). The decrease in earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to the decreased earnings of NYS and CSI, and the losses of NJSM in the current year.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 22.0% compared to 21.1% for the third quarter of 2023. The expected effective tax rate for the full year of 2024 is approximately 21.5%.
We estimate that in the next 12 months our gross unrecognized tax benefits, which totaled $213.8 million at September 28, 2024, exclusive of interest, could decrease by as much as $9.2 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations and the closures of examinations, substantially all of which would impact the effective tax rate.
The IRS is currently examining Nucor’s 2015, 2019 and 2020 federal income tax returns. Nucor has concluded U.S. federal income tax matters for the tax years through 2014, and for the tax years 2016 through 2018. The tax years 2021 through 2023 remain open to examination by the IRS. The 2015 through 2021 Canadian income tax returns for Nucor Rebar Fabrication Group Inc. (formerly known as Harris Steel Group Inc.) and certain related affiliates are currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency. The tax years 2016 through 2023 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which Nucor is subject (primarily Canada, Trinidad & Tobago, and other state and local jurisdictions).
Net Earnings Attributable to Nucor Stockholders and Return on Equity
Nucor reported net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $249.9 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $1.14 billion, or $4.57 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. Net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders as a percentage of net sales were 3.4% and 13.0% in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Nucor reported net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $1.74 billion, or $7.22 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders of $3.74 billion, or $14.83 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2023. Net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders as a percentage of net sales were 7.4% and 13.8% in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 11.2% and 25.6% in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Outlook
We expect consolidated net earnings attributable to Nucor stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2024 to decrease compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.05 reported for the third quarter of 2024. The largest driver of the expected decrease in earnings in the fourth quarter of 2024 is the expected decrease in earnings of the steel mills segment caused by lower average selling prices and decreased volumes. We expect earnings in the steel products segment to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to lower average selling prices and decreased volumes. The earnings of the raw materials segment are expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 (excluding the impairment charge taken during the third quarter of 2024).
Nucor’s largest exposure to market risk is in our steel mills and steel products segments. Our largest single customer in the third quarter of 2024 represented approximately 5% of sales and has consistently paid within terms. In the raw materials segment, we are exposed to price fluctuations related to the purchase of scrap and scrap substitutes, pig iron and iron ore. Businesses within the steel mills segment account for the majority of the raw materials segment’s sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently have the highest credit ratings of any steel producer headquartered in North America, with an A- long-term rating from Standard & Poor’s, an A- long-term rating from Fitch Ratings and a Baa1 long-term rating from Moody’s. Our credit ratings are dependent, however, upon a number of factors, both qualitative and quantitative, and are subject to change at any time. The disclosure of our credit ratings is made in order to enhance investors’ understanding of our sources of liquidity and the impact of our credit ratings on our cost of funds.
Our liquidity position as of September 28, 2024 remained strong, consisting of total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $4.86 billion ($7.13 billion as of December 31, 2023). Approximately $899.1 million of the cash and cash equivalents position at September 28, 2024, was held by our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries as compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2023.
Cash provided by operating activities was $3.25 billion in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $5.59 billion in the first nine months of 2023. The $2.34 billion decrease was primarily driven by net earnings before noncontrolling interests of $1.97 billion for the first nine months of 2024, which represented a decrease of $2.07 billion from net earnings before noncontrolling interests for the prior year period of $4.04 billion. In addition, changes in operating assets and operating liabilities (exclusive of acquisitions and dispositions) provided cash of $130.9 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $604.5 million in the first nine months of 2023.
The funding provided by our working capital in the first nine months of 2024 decreased by $473.6 million compared to the first nine months of 2023 mainly due to the change in accounts payable using $371.2 million more cash, federal income taxes providing less cash of $224.1 million and the change in accounts receivable providing $124.8 million less cash compared to the same period in 2023. These changes were partially offset by the change in inventories providing more cash of $287.0 million.
The current ratio was 2.6 at the end of the third quarter of 2024 and 3.6 at year-end 2023. The decrease in the current ratio at the end of the third quarter of 2024 compared to year-end 2023 was primarily due to the $2.86 billion, or 17%, decrease in current assets. The main driver of the decrease in current assets was the $2.12 billion, or 33% decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Also contributing to the decrease in the current ratio was the $622.3 million, or 14%, increase in current liabilities. The increase in current liabilities was primarily due to the $966.3 million increase in the current portion of long-term debt and finance lease obligations and the $94.5 million increase in short-term debt. These changes were offset by the $117.4 million decrease in accounts payable and the $351.8 million decrease in salaries, wages and related accruals.
Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $2.77 billion as compared to $1.84 billion in the first nine months of 2023, an increase of $929.7 million. Cash used for capital expenditures of $2.29 billion in the first nine months of 2024 increased by $797.6 million as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily due to the sheet mill under construction in West Virginia, the sheet mill expansion in Indiana and the rebar micro mill under construction in North Carolina. Capital expenditures for 2024 are estimated to be approximately $3.2 billion as compared to $2.20 billion for 2023. The projects that we anticipate will have the largest capital expenditures in 2024 are the sheet mill under construction in West Virginia, the sheet mill expansion in Indiana, the rebar micro mill under construction in North Carolina and the construction of two manufacturing locations to expand Nucor Towers & Structures. Also contributing to the increase in cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2024 over the same period of 2023 was the acquisition (net of cash acquired) of Rytec for approximately $565.0 million during the third quarter of 2024.
Cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 was $2.60 billion as compared to $2.24 billion in the first nine months of 2023. The primary uses of cash were stock repurchases of $1.90 billion in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $1.38 billion in the first nine months of 2023, which represented an increase of $524.8 million. Partially offsetting the increase in stock repurchases was the $79.0 million decrease in distributions to noncontrolling interests in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023.
Nucor’s $1.75 billion revolving credit facility matures on November 5, 2026. The revolving credit facility includes only one financial covenant, which is a limit of 60% on the ratio of funded debt to total capital. In addition, the revolving credit facility contains customary non-financial covenants, including a limit on Nucor’s ability to pledge the Company’s assets and a limit on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. As of September 28, 2024, the funded debt to total capital ratio was 24.4% and we were in compliance with all non-financial covenants under the revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of September 28, 2024.
24
In September 2024, Nucor’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on Nucor’s common stock of $0.54 per share payable on November 8, 2024 to stockholders of record on September 27, 2024. This dividend is Nucor’s 206th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Funds provided from operations, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and new borrowings under our existing credit facilities are expected to be adequate to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements for existing operations for at least the next 24 months. We also believe we have adequate access to capital markets for liquidity purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the ordinary course of business, Nucor is exposed to a variety of market risks. We continually monitor these risks and develop strategies to manage them.
Interest Rate Risk
Nucor manages interest rate risk by using a combination of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. Nucor also occasionally makes use of interest rate swaps to manage net exposure to interest rate changes. Management does not believe that Nucor’s exposure to interest rate risk has significantly changed since December 31, 2023. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at September 28, 2024.
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, Nucor is exposed to market risk for price fluctuations of raw materials and energy, principally scrap steel, other ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys and natural gas. We attempt to negotiate the best prices for our raw material and energy requirements and to obtain prices for our steel products that match market price movements in response to supply and demand. In periods of strong or stable demand for our products, we are more likely to be able to effectively reduce the normal time lag in passing through higher raw material costs so that we can maintain our gross margins. When demand for our products is weaker, this becomes more challenging. Our DRI facilities in Trinidad and Louisiana provide us with flexibility in managing our raw material requirements and our input costs. DRI is particularly important for operational flexibility when demand for prime scrap increases due to increased domestic steel production.
Natural gas produced by Nucor’s production operations is being sold to third parties to partially offset our exposure to changes in the price of natural gas consumed by our Louisiana DRI facility and our steel mills in the United States.
Nucor also periodically uses derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to price risk related to natural gas purchases used in the production process and to hedge a portion of our steel, scrap, aluminum and copper purchases and sales. Gains and losses from derivatives designated as hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized in net earnings in the same period as the underlying physical transaction. At September 28, 2024, accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes included $6.3 million in unrealized net-of-tax losses for the fair value of these derivative instruments. Changes in the fair values of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in net earnings each period.
The following table presents the negative effect on pre-tax earnings of a hypothetical change in the fair value of the derivative instruments outstanding at September 28, 2024, due to an assumed 10% and 25% change in the market price of each of the indicated commodities (in thousands):

Any resulting changes in fair value would be recorded as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes or recognized in net earnings, as appropriate. These hypothetical losses would be partially offset by the benefit of lower prices paid or higher prices received for the physical commodities.
25
Foreign Currency Risk
Nucor is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily through its operations in Canada, Europe and Mexico. We periodically use derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of currency fluctuations. Open foreign currency derivative contracts at September 28, 2024 were insignificant.
26
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 28, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
27
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Nucor is from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Nucor maintains liability insurance with self-insurance limits for certain risks.
During 2022, Nucor Steel Louisiana, our DRI facility located in St. James Parish, Louisiana, received allegations of violations of the Clean Air Act from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. A combined settlement is currently being negotiated with the United States Department of Justice, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. We do not believe that any aggregate settlement for these allegations will be material to Nucor.
There were no other proceedings that were pending or contemplated under federal, state or local environmental laws that the Company reasonably believes may result in monetary sanctions of at least $1.0 million (the threshold chosen by Nucor as permitted by Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and which Nucor believes is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceeding that is material to its business or financial condition).
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in Nucor’s risk factors from those included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Nucor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
