Commitment to Returning Capital to Stockholders

During the second quarter of 2022, Nucor repurchased approximately 5.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $157.37 per share (12.1 million shares year-to-date at an average price of $140.59 per share). As of July 2, 2022, Nucor had approximately 262,000,000 shares outstanding and approximately $2.14 billion remaining for repurchases under its existing authorized share repurchase program. This share repurchase authorization is discretionary and has no scheduled expiration date.

On June 9, 2022, Nucor’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share. This cash dividend is payable on August 11, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022 and is Nucor’s 197th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Second Quarter of 2022 Analysis

Second quarter earnings were driven by increased profitability in the steel products segment, which continued to benefit from robust demand in nonresidential construction markets. In addition, the steel mills segment earnings strengthened due primarily to increased profitability at our bar and plate mills. Similarly, Nucor’s raw materials segment generated increased profits in the second quarter due to relatively higher selling prices for both direct reduced iron (DRI) and scrap. The second quarter also saw the closing of Nucor’s acquisition of C.H.I. Overhead Doors, LLC.

Third Quarter of 2022 Outlook

As we enter the third quarter, demand remains stable and resilient across the major end-use markets we serve, and customer inventory levels appear right-sized relative to economic conditions. Though we expect a decrease from the record-setting second quarter, we expect another strong quarter of profitability in the third quarter of 2022. We believe that 2022 will be the most profitable year in Nucor’s history.

We expect the steel mills segment earnings to be sequentially lower in the third quarter of 2022, due to lower expected shipment volumes and average selling prices, particularly at our sheet and plate mills. The steel products segment is expected to have another very strong quarter in the third quarter of 2022, with earnings roughly in-line with the second quarter of 2022. Raw materials segment earnings are expected to improve in the third quarter of 2022 due to higher realized pricing at our DRI facilities.

Earnings Conference Call

You are invited to listen to the live broadcast of Nucor’s conference call during which management will discuss Nucor’s second quarter results on July 21, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be available over the Internet at www.nucor.com, under Investors.

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.
