The North America segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, steel mills and fabrication operations located in the U.S., as well as facilities that provide construction-related solutions to serve markets that are complementary to our vertically integrated operations. The recycling facilities process ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively known as "raw materials") for use by manufacturers of new metal products. The steel mills manufacture finished long steel products including reinforcing bar ("rebar"), merchant bar, light structural and other special sections as well as semi-finished billets for rerolling and forging applications (collectively known as "steel products"). The fabrication operations primarily manufacture fabricated rebar and steel fence posts (collectively known as "downstream products"). The general strategy in North America is to optimize the Company's vertically integrated value chain to maximize profitability by obtaining the lowest possible input costs and highest possible selling prices. The Company operates the recycling facilities to provide low-cost scrap to the steel mills and the fabrication operations to optimize the steel mill volumes. The North America segment's products are sold primarily to steel mills and foundries, construction, fabrication and other manufacturing industries. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Europe</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Europe segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, an electric arc furnace ("EAF") mini mill and fabrication operations located in Poland.

For contracts where the Company provides fabricated rebar and installation services, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure of progress based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs ("input measure"). This input measure provides a reasonable depiction of the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation as there is a direct relationship between costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar and installation services. Revenue from fabricated rebar contracts where the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure of progress based on tons shipped compared to total estimated tons ("output measure"). This output measure provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of contract value to the customer, as there is a direct relationship between the units shipped by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar. If total estimated costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known.

The ROU assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

To evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may use qualitative assessments to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessments consider multiple factors, including the current operating environment, historical and future financial performance and industry and market conditions. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed.

When performing a quantitative impairment test, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into account industry and market conditions. The discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the reporting unit. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is indicated in the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the goodwill value for the reporting unit. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">When estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a quantitative approach, the Company uses an income approach to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets using a relief from royalty method.

Therefore, such ROU assets were evaluated for impairment by comparing the estimated fair values of the ROU assets to their net carrying values, which resulted in a non-cash impairment of $3.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, included in asset impairments in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract if the terms state the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specific asset identified in the contract. The ROU assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.

The purpose of the PCSA in each year was to provide aid to energy-intensive companies to offset indirect costs of rising carbon emission rights included in energy costs. The amount of government assistance awarded by the PCSA in each year was dependent upon the Company meeting certain electricity consumption thresholds and the number of other applicants.

Under this agreement, the Company can receive up to $75.0 million in the aggregate of disbursements in the form of a forgivable loan for eligible costs incurred from June 21, 2023 through June 20, 2027 (the "Completion Date"). Eligible costs include the acquisition of land and buildings, the acquisition and installation of machinery and equipment and necessary construction costs. The Company anticipates receiving disbursements over this period upon achieving certain capital investment and employment thresholds. Amounts received under the agreement are subject to recapture in the event that the Company fails to achieve certain minimum investment and employment thresholds prior to the Completion Date. The Company has determined that amounts received under the agreement are grants related to assets. During 2023, the Company received $5.0 million in cumulative benefits from the WVEDA as a result of meeting certain investment thresholds; amounts received were recognized in the North America segment and reduced construction in process in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2023.

To evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may use qualitative assessments to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessments consider multiple factors, including the current operating environment, historical and future financial performance and industry and market conditions. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed.

When performing a quantitative impairment test, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into account industry and market conditions. The discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the reporting unit. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is indicated in the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the goodwill value for the reporting unit. </span></div>When estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using a quantitative approach, the Company uses an income approach to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets using a relief from royalty method. Significant inputs to measure the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets include projected revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates.Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded on finite-lived intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.

These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 represents unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 represents quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 represents valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.</span></div>

This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance, which will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations.</span></div>In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 aims to increase the transparency of government assistance through the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity's accounting for the assistance and the effect of the assistance on an entity's financial statements. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis for the annual period beginning September 1, 2022.

is presented below as if the acquisition of Tensar occurred on September 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only, based on certain factually supported estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes to be reasonable, but not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or the results that would have been reported if the acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2020. These results were not used as part of management's analysis of the financial results and performance of the Company. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect anticipated synergies, but rather include the nonrecurring impact of additional cost of sales from revalued inventory and the recurring income statement effects of fair value adjustments, such as depreciation and amortization. Further adjustments were made to remove the impact of Tensar's prior management fees, acquisition and integration expenses and interest on debt not assumed in the acquisition. The resulting tax effects of the business combination are also reflected below. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><table

The difference in the balance of goodwill between the 2023 annual impairment test date and August 31, 2023 was due to the acquisition of EDSCO and foreign currency translation adjustments.

As of the 2023 annual impairment test date, the Company had $57.1 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, of which $53.8 million were tested for impairment using a quantitative approach. Based on the quantitative tests performed, the Company concluded it to be more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets were greater than their respective carrying values. The change in the balance of intangible assets with indefinite lives from August 31, 2022 to August 31, 2023 and from the 2023 annual impairment test date to August 31, 2023 was due to foreign

trade accounts receivable to financial institutions without recourse (the "Poland Facility"). The Poland Facility has a facility limit of PLN 288.0 million, or $69.8 million and $61.3 million as of August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, respectively. Advances taken under the Poland Facility incur interest based on the Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate ("WIBOR") plus a margin. The transfer of receivables under the Poland Facility does not qualify to be accounted for as sales. Therefore, any advances outstanding under this program are recorded as debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company had PLN 34.7 million, or $8.4 million, advance payments outstanding under the Poland Facility at August 31, 2023 compared to PLN 124.0 million, or $26.4 million, at August 31, 2022. </span></div>In addition to the Poland Facility, the Company also had a $150.0 million U.S. trade accounts receivable facility under which CMC contributed, and certain of its subsidiaries transferred without recourse, certain eligible trade accounts receivable to CMC Receivables, Inc. ("CMCRV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMC. The Company had no advance payments outstanding under this facility at August 31, 2022. In November 2022, the Company terminated its U.S. trade accounts receivable facility.

The NMTC transactions relate to the construction and equipping of the micro mill in Durant, Oklahoma, as well as a rebar spooler and automated T-post shop located on the same site. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The transactions qualified through the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the "NMTC Program"), as the micro mill, spooler and T-post shop are located in an eligible zone designated by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and are considered eligible business activities for the NMTC Program. Under the NMTC Program, an investor that makes a capital investment, which, in turn, together with leverage loan sources, is used to make a Qualifying Equity Investment ("QEI") in an entity that (i) qualifies as a Community Development Entity ("CDE"), (ii) has applied for and been granted an allocation of a portion of the total federal funds available to fund the credits (an "NMTC Allocation") and (iii) uses a minimum specified portion of the QEI to make a Qualified Low Income Community Investment up to the maximum amount of the CDE’s NMTC Allocation will be entitled to claim, over a period of seven years, federal nonrefundable tax credits in an amount equal to 39% of the QEI amount. NMTCs are subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In general, the three NMTC transactions were structured similarly. USBCDC made a capital contribution to an investment fund and Commonwealth Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Commonwealth”), made a loan to the investment fund. The investment fund used the proceeds from the capital contribution and the loan to make a QEI into a CDE, which, in turn, makes loans of the QEIs to the operating subsidiaries of the Company with terms similar to the loans by Commonwealth. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New

One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments. The Company enters into (i) metal commodity futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risk of unanticipated changes in net earnings due to price volatility in these commodities, (ii) foreign currency forward contracts that match the expected settlements for purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) natural gas and electricity commodity derivatives to mitigate the risk related to price volatility of these commodities.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company designates only those contracts which closely match the terms of the underlying transaction as hedges for accounting purposes.

At August 31, 2023 and 2022, the notional values of the Company's commodity contract commitments were $456.4 million and $205.1 million, respectively. The increase in the notional value of the Company’s commodity contract commitments from August 31, 2022 to August 31, 2023 was due to the Company entering into additional Level 3 commodity derivative contracts as described in Note 11, Fair Value. At August 31, 2023 and 2022, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency contract commitments were $221.4 million and $253.5 million, respectively. </span></div><div

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") approves all awards that are granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense for 2023, 2022 and 2021 of $60.5 million, $47.0 million and $43.7 million, respectively, was primarily included in SG&A expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of earnings. Total tax benefits recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings related to stock-based compensation expense were $14.2 million, $9.3 million and $9.9 million for the years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of August 31, 2023, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $22.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average

The tax qualified defined contribution plan is maintained, and contributions are made, in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The Company also provides certain eligible executives benefits pursuant to its Benefit Restoration Plan ("BRP") equal to amounts that would have been available under the tax qualified ERISA plan, but were subject to the limitations of ERISA, tax laws and regulations. Company expenses for these plans, a portion of which are discretionary, totaled $40.4 million, $34.0 million and $47.0 million for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $14.3 million, $7.2 million and $25.5 million was recorded in SG&A expenses during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $26.1 million, $26.8 million and $21.5 million was recorded in cost of goods sold during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The deferred compensation liability under the BRP was $48.2 million and $43.1 million at August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $41.1 million and $40.0 million, respectively, was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $7.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, was included in accrued expenses and other payables on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Though under no obligation to fund the BRP, the Company has segregated assets in a trust with a value of $60.1 million and $57.9 million at August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and such assets were included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The net holding gain on these segregated assets was $5.0 million in 2023, compared to a net holding loss of $7.1 million and a net holding gain of $10.1 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was included in net sales in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">U.K. Pension Plan</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Following the acquisition of Tensar, the Company assumed the TGL Pension Plan in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") (the "U.K. Pension Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan. The U.K. Pension Plan provides retirement benefit payments for participating retired employees and their spouses, and was closed to new participants prior to the acquisition of Tensar. Upon acquisition, the excess of projected U.K. Pension Plan assets over the U.K. Pension Plan benefit obligation was recognized as an asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and previously existing deferred actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized service costs or benefits were eliminated.

Plan assets were liquidated to purchase annuity contracts with an insurance company for all participants. The Company recognized a $4.2 million settlement charge as a result of the termination, including an immaterial non-cash charge for unrecognized losses within AOCI as of the termination date. The $4.2 million settlement charge was recognized within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters. At August 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts accrued for cleanup and remediation costs at certain sites in response to notices, actions and agreements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) were immaterial. Total accrued environmental liabilities, including CERCLA sites, were $4.5 million and $5.3 million as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $2.0 million was classified as <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:f-1498"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden:f-1499"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden:f-1500"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden:f-1501">other noncurrent liabilities</span></span></span></span> at both August 31, 2023 and 2022. These amounts have not been discounted to their present values. Due to evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process and other factors, amounts accrued could vary significantly from amounts paid.
