| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On December 14, 2023, Commercial Metals Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing a change in its segment reporting structure. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, on December 14, 2023, the Company made available on its website the investor presentation furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Beginning with its first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure to include three reportable segments: North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group and Emerging Businesses Group. The Company will continue to report Corporate and Eliminations separately from its reportable segments.
| | • | | The North America Steel Group segment is primarily composed of all recycling, steel mill, rebar fabrication, fence post fabrication, and post-tension cable operations that were previously included within the Company’s former North America segment. |
| | • | | The Europe Steel Group segment is primarily composed of all recycling, steel mill, and steel fabrication operations that were previously included within the Company’s former Europe segment. |
| | • | | The Emerging Businesses Group segment is composed of all Tensar® geogrid and Geopier®, CMC Construction Services™, Performance Reinforcing Steel, CMC Anchoring Systems, and Impact Metals™ operations, all of which were previously reported as part of the Company’s former North America segment, with the exception of geogrid operations located outside of North America, which were previously included within the Company’s former Europe segment. |
The decision to realign the Company’s segment reporting structure was made to reflect (i) the evolution of the Company’s solutions offerings outside of traditional steel products, (ii) the growing importance of non-steel solutions to the Company’s financial results and future outlook, and (iii) the Company’s chief operating decision maker’s approach to performance assessment, strategic decision-making, and the allocation of capital resources.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the above-described segment reporting change. The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto includes recast unaudited historical financial information and operating statistics for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The segment reporting change has no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity previously reported on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The recast historical financial information and operating statistics provided do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial information and operating statistics. The updated segment reporting structure will be reflected in the results reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2023.
