Version: 1

 

Economic Scenario

Global growth has been consolidating, fueled by the recovery of the developed economies, while growth in the emerging nations is expected to be moderate. The global Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) closed March at 53.5 points, giving 18 consecutive months of expansion. In this scenario, the IMF expects global GDP growth of 3.6% this year and 3.9% in 2015, versus 3.0% in 2013.

 

USA

 

In the United States, even though the economic performance of the first two months of the year was jeopardized by the exceptionally rigorous winter, the fundamentals are still favoring a recovery in activity. March’s manufacturing PMI recorded 53.7 points, while the service sector PMI reached 55.3 points, up by 0.5 and 2.0 points, respectively, on February.

 

Industrial production moved up by 0.7% in March, giving 12-month growth of 3.8%, while capacity use came to 79.2%, higher than the 78.4% recorded in December 2013.

 

Unemployment reached 6.7% in March, flat over December 2013 and 0.8 p.p. down in the last 12 months.

 

The FED maintained its US$10 billion reduction in the asset purchase program at each meeting and will continue to do so, unless there is a significant change in the economic fundamentals. At the same time, it signaled that the current interest rates would remain in place for a longer period, even after the winding up of the asset purchase program, expected at the end of 2014, thereby alleviating market concerns. The FED expects U.S. GDP growth of between 2.8% and 3.0% in 2014.  

 

Europe

 

Despite the 0.4% economic shrinkage in the Eurozone in 2013, the European Central Bank (ECB) expects growth of 1.2% in 2014 and 1.5% in 2015, albeit not uniformly among the various countries.

 

The Eurozone’s compound PMI reached 53.1 points in March, 1.0 point up on December 2013 and the ninth consecutive monthly upturn. Unemployment, stable since October, fell slightly in March, reaching 11.8%, while industrial production increased by 1.7% in February over the month before. 

 

Twelve-month inflation closed March at 1.1%, below the 2% target established by the ECB. As a result, at its last meeting in April, the institution maintained interest rates at 0.25% p.a., their lowest ever level.

 

In the UK, first-quarter GDP edged up by 0.8%, fueled by the service sector. Industrial output grew by 0.9% in February over January, while compound PMI reached 58.1 points in the same month, slightly down on the 59.5 points recorded in December, but still high. According to the British Treasury, the consensus of estimates points to GDP growth of 2.8% in 2014.

 

Asia

 

In China, the beginning-of-year activity indicators pointed to deceleration, once again raising worries of a possible economic slowdown.

 

Preliminary 1Q14 figures indicate year-on-year Chinese GDP growth of 7.4%. Industrial production moved up by 8.7% in the first quarter, below the average of 10% recorded in the second half of 2013. Manufacturing PMI, disclosed by HSBC, which expanded by 50.5 points in December 2013, has been on the decline since the beginning of this year, reaching 48.0 points in March, while investments in fixed assets fell from 20.9% in 1Q13 to 17.6% in 1Q14.

 

According to the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics, total investments in the construction sector came to 1.5 billion yuan in 1Q14, 16.8% up in the quarter, versus 20.2% in 1Q13, signifying a decline of 3.4 p.p.

 

Given this scenario, in April the Chinese government announced a series of measures to stimulate the economy, including tax breaks for small and mid-sized businesses, accelerated railway construction and improvements to the housing financing system. The government maintained its 2014 GDP growth target at 7.5%, with industrial output growth of 9.5%.

Japan continued to stage a modest recovery, with the local central bank maintaining its economic stimuli. Manufacturing PMI reached 53.9 points in March, the tenth consecutive monthly expansion, versus 55.2 points in December 2013. The institution expects 2014 GDP growth of between 0.9% and 1.5%, with inflation of 1.5%.

 

Brazil

 

On the home front, February’s seasonally-adjusted Central Bank Economic Activity Index (IBC-Br), used as a reference for GDP, increased by 0.24% over January, giving a 12-month variation of 2.41%. The Central Bank’s FOCUS report expects GDP growth of 1.63% in 2014 and 1.91% in 2015.

 

Industrial production in February edged up by 0.4% over the previous month and by 5.0% year-on-year. Retail sales increased by 0.2% in February over January and by 5.0% in the previous 12 months.

 

On the other hand, the Industrial Confidence Index (ICI) measured by the Getulio Vargas Foundation fell by 2.3% between February and March 2014, from 98.5 to 96.2 points, the lowest level since June 2009.The trade balance closed 1Q14 with a deficit of US$6.1 billion, the worst figure since the series began in 1994.

 

Inflation measured by the IPCA consumer price index increased by 0.92% in March over February and by 6.15% in 12 months, above the mid-point of the inflationary target defined by the Monetary Policy Committee (COPOM). As a result, the COPOM maintained its restrictive monetary policy, raising the Selic benchmark interest rate for the ninth consecutive time, this time to 11.25% p.a. The FOCUS report expects 2014 inflation of 6.5%, with a Selic of 11.25% at year-end.

 

On the foreign exchange front, the real appreciated by 3.4% against the dollar in 1Q14, closing March at R$2.263, reflecting the current yields of U.S. government bonds and the increase in Brazilian interest rates.

Net Revenue

CSN recorded consolidated net revenue of R$4,371 million in 1Q14, 20% up on the R$3,642 million reported in 1Q13, chiefly due to increased revenue from steel and mining operations.

 

In relation to the R$4,949 million recorded in 4Q13, 1Q14 net revenue fell by 12%, primarily due to reduced revenue from the mining segment.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

In 1Q14, consolidated COGS came to R$3,035 million, 6% more than the R$2,852 million posted in the same period last year, basically due to higher iron ore sales volume.

  

In comparison to the R$3,292 million recorded in 4Q13, 1Q14 COGS declined by 8%, mainly due to lower iron ore sales volume.

Selling, General, Administrative and Other Operating Expenses

SG&A expenses totaled R$294 million in 1Q14, 5% down on the R$311 million posted in 1Q13, chiefly due to the lower distribution cost, and 17% down on the R$355 million reported in 4Q13, mainly as a result of the reduction in administrative expenses.  

 

In 1Q14, Other Operating Revenue/Expenses amounted to R$177 million, 86% up on the R$95 million recorded in 1Q13, due to provisions for contingencies, and 10% down on the R$196 million reported in 4Q13, essentially basically due to the non-recurring impact of the Company’s adherence to the Tax Settlement Program (REFIS) in the latter quarter.

EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the segments' performance and operating cash flow capacity. It comprises net income, less net financial result, income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization, results from investees and other operating revenue (expenses), plus the proportional EBITDA of the jointly-owned subsidiaries, Namisa, MRS Logística and CBSI.

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1,440 million in 1Q14, 60% up on the R$902 million recorded in 1Q13, essentially due to the contributions of the steel and mining segments, while the EBITDA margin came to 30%.

 

In relation to 4Q13, adjusted EBITDA fell by 18%, chiefly due to the mining segment, partially offset by steel EBITDA, while the adjusted EBITDA margin narrowed by 2 p.p.

 

 

Financial Result and Net Debt

The 1Q14 net financial result was negative by R$741 million, primarily due to the following factors:

 

·         Interest on loans and financing totaling R$659 million;  

·         Expenses of R$41 million with the monetary restatement of tax payment installments;

·         Other financial expenses totaling R$24 million;

·         Monetary and foreign exchange variations amounting to R$55 million;

 

These negative effects were partially offset by consolidated financial revenue of R$38 million.

 

Gross debt, net debt and the net debt/EBITDA ratio presented below reflect the Company’s proportional interest in Namisa, MRS Logística and CBSI, as well as the impact from the partial spin-off of Transnordestina Logística S/A.

 

On March 31, 2014, consolidated net debt totaled R$15.8 billion, very close to the R$15.7 million recorded on December 31, 2013, impacted by:

 

·         Payment of dividends and interest on equity totaling R$0.4 billion;

·         Investments of R$0.3 billion in fixed assets;

·         A R$0.7 billion effect related to the cost of debt;

·         Other effects totaling R$0.1 billion;

 

These negative impacts were offset by 1Q14 EBITDA of R$1.4 billion.

 

The net debt/EBITDA ratio based on LTM adjusted EBITDA closed the first quarter at 2.66x, 0.25x down on the ratio recorded at the end of 4Q13.

Indebtedness (R$ million) and Net Debt /Adjusted EBITDA ratio  

 

Equity Result

The consolidated equity result was negative by R$46 million in 1Q14, essentially due to the results of the jointly-owned subsidiaries Namisa and MRS.

Net Income

CSN posted consolidated net income of R$52 million in 1Q14, R$36 million more than in 1Q13, chiefly due to the upturn in gross profit.

 

In comparison with the previous quarter, net income increased by R$539 million, given the 4Q13 net loss of R$487 million, primarily due to the Company’s adherence to the Tax Settlement Program (REFIS)

Capex

Investments reflect the Company’s proportional interest in Namisa, MRS Logística and CBSI. The Company has ceased consolidating its interest in Transnordestina Logística S/A, due to the latter’s partial spin-off on December 27, 2013 and the consequent entry into effect of the new shareholders’ agreement.

 

CSN invested R$355 million in 1Q14, R$236 million in the parent company. Of this total, R$114 million went to the Casa de Pedra mine and the Port of Itaguaí and R$108 million to the steel segment, mainly due to improvements to the hot strip mill (LTQ) and the coke batteries.

 

The remaining R$119 million went to subsidiaries or joint subsidiaries, mostly as follows:

 

ü  Namisa: R$33 million;

ü  Sepetiba Tecon: R$28 million;

ü  MRS: R$23 million.

Working Capital

Working capital allocated to the Company’s businesses closed 1Q14 at R$2,510 million, R$25 million less than at the end of 4Q13, chiefly due to the increase in the suppliers line and the reduction in accounts receivable, partially offset by the upturn in inventories. The average supplier payment period widened by nine days, the average receivables period narrowed by two days and the average inventory turnover period increased by twelve days.

Steel

Scenario

 

According to the World Steel Association (WSA) global crude steel production totaled 406 million tonnes in 1Q14, 2.5% higher than in 1Q13, with China, responsible for 203 million tonnes, recording growth of 2.4%. Global capacity use reached 79% in March, 6.2 p.p. up on December 2013. The WSA expects global apparent steel consumption to grow by 3.1% in 2014, with apparent consumption in China moving up by 3%.

 

According to the Brazilian Steel Institute (IABr), domestic crude steel production came to 8.3 million tonnes in 1Q14, 1.5% more than in 1Q13, while rolled flat output totaled 6.3 million tonnes, up by 1.9%. 

 

Apparent domestic flat steel consumption amounted to 6.4 million tonnes in the first quarter, 2.1% more than in 1Q13, while domestic sales moved up by 1.7% to 5.4 million tonnes. On the other hand, imports climbed by 3.8% to 0.9 million tonnes, while exports fell by 19% to 1.9 million tonnes.

 

The IABr estimates domestic sales of 23.7 million tonnes in 2014, with apparent consumption of 27.2 million tonnes.

 

Automotive

 

According to ANFAVEA (the Auto Manufacturers’ Association), light vehicle production totaled 790,000 units in 1Q14, 8.4% down on 1Q13, with sales of 813,000 units, down by 2.1%.

 

ANFAVEA estimates light vehicle production and sales growth of 1.4% and 1.1%, respectively, in 2014, while FENABRAVE (the Vehicle Distributors’ Association) expects sales to remain flat over last year.

Construction  

 

According to ABRAMAT (the Construction Material Manufacturers’ Association), sales of building materials increased by 0.9% year-on-year in 1Q14.

 

ABRAMAT estimates sales growth of 4.5% in 2014 as a whole, sustained by the resumption of investments in infrastructure and the works for the upcoming sporting events.

 

Home Appliances

 

According to the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), home appliance production fell by 2.4% year-on-year in January and February.

 

Distribution  

 

According to INDA (the Brazilian Steel Distributors’ Association), domestic flat steel sales by distributors totaled 1.17 million tonnes in 1Q14, 12% up on 4Q13. For 2014 as a whole, the association expects growth of 4% in flat steel sales by its affiliates.

 

Purchases by the associated network came to 1.09 million tonnes in 1Q14, 0.9% down on the previous three months. On the other hand, inventories closed March at 968,000 tonnes, 0.8% less than in 4Q13, representing 2.6 months of sales.

 

Sales Volume

 

CSN sold 1.39 million tonnes of steel in 1Q14, 4% down on 4Q13. Of this total, 73% went to the domestic market, 25% were sold by overseas subsidiaries and 2% went to direct exports.

 

Domestic Sales Volume

 

 

Domestic steel sales totaled 1.01 million tonnes in 1Q14, 5% less than in 4Q13, due to the seasonality of steel sales.

Foreign Sales Volume         

 

Foreign steel sales amounted to 377,000 tonnes in 1Q14, in line with the previous quarter. Of this total, the overseas subsidiaries sold 351,000 tonnes, 209,000 of which by SWT. Direct exports came to 26,000 tonnes.

 

 

Prices

 

Net revenue per tonne averaged R$2,216 in 1Q14, 6% higher than the 4Q13 average.

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue from steel operations totaled R$3,127 million, 1% up on 4Q13, chiefly due to higher prices, partially offset by the decline in sales volume.

 

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

 

Steel segment COGS came to R$2,395 million, 2% less than in 1Q13 and 4Q13, basically due to lower sales volume.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted steel segment EBITDA totaled R$761 million in 1Q14, 20% up on the quarter before, basically due to higher steel prices and the largest quarterly figure since 3Q10. The adjusted EBITDA margin came to 24%, 3 p.p. up on 4Q13, and the highest since 3Q11. These results signify a steel segment margin recovery.

 

Production

 

The Presidente Vargas Steelworks (UPV) produced 1.1 million tonnes of crude steel in 1Q14, in line with the 4Q13 figure, while consumption of slabs purchased from third parties totaled 102,000 tonnes. Production  of rolled steel came to 1.1 million tonnes, 8% down on the previous quarter due to the hot strip mill maintenance program.

Production Costs (Parent Company)

 

In 1Q14, the Presidente Vargas Steelworks’ total production costs came to R$1,656 million, 7% down on 4Q13, chiefly due to the reduced consumption of slabs acquired from third parties.

 

 

Mining

 

Scenario

 

In 1Q14, the seaborne iron ore market was negatively impacted by the slowdown in industrial output, the reduction in investments in fixed assets and lower real estate sales in China, which led to a deceleration in steel production. In addition, iron ore stocks in the main Chinese ports reached record levels, putting downward pressure on prices.

 

In this scenario, the Platts Fe62% CFR China index averaged US$120.38/dmt in 1Q14, 10.6% down on the 4Q13 average. The iron ore quality premium varied between US$2.00 and US$2.30/dmt per 1% of Fe content, while freight costs on the Tubarão/Qingdao route averaged US$22.33/wmt, 10.7% less than the previous quarter’s average, with the seasonal reduction in exports from Brazil and Australia.

Brazil exported 77 million tonnes of iron ore in the first quarter, 19% down on 4Q13.

 

Iron Ore Sales

In 1Q14, sales of finished iron ore products totaled 6.4 million tonnes, 54% up on the 4.1 million tonnes sold in 1Q13 and 18% less than the 7.8 million tonnes recorded in the previous quarter, due to maintenance at the Tecar terminal in the Port of Itaguaí. Of this total, 2.2 million tonnes were sold by Namisa1. Virtually all iron ore sold in 1Q14 was exported.

Iron ore volume for own consumption reached 1.5 million tonnes in 1Q14.

1 Sales volumes include 100% of the stake in NAMISA.

Net Revenue

In relation to the R$1,920 million reported in the previous quarter, however, 1Q14 net revenue fell by 35%, due to lower sales volume and prices and the 4Q13 reception of R$323 million in indemnification for lost earnings in 2007 due to a claim related to Tecar’s iron ore separator and belt transportation system.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS totaled R$716 million in 1Q14, 58% up on 1Q13, chiefly due to higher sales volume.

In relation to the R$946 million recorded in 4Q13, 1Q14 COGS fell by 24%, essentially due to lower sales volume.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA from mining operations totaled R$585 million in 1Q14, 79% up on the R$326 million reported in 1Q13, for the reasons mentioned above, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 47%, and 43% down on the R$1,022 million recorded in 4Q13.

1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional “CSN”, also referred to as the Company or Parent Company, is a publicly-held company incorporated on April 9, 1941, under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities collectively referred to herein as the "Group”). The Company’s registered office is located in São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

                                                                 

CSN has shares listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&F BOVESPA) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Accordingly, it reports its information to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The Group's main operating activities are divided into five (5) operating segments as follows:

 

·       Steel: 

 

The Company’s main industrial facility is the Presidente Vargas Steel Mill (“UPV”), located in the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro. This segment consolidates the operations related to the production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers and galvanized steel. In addition to the facilities in Brazil, CSN has operations in the United States, Portugal and Germany aimed at gaining markets and performing excellent services for final consumers. Its steels are used in the home appliances, civil construction and automobile industries. 

 

·       Mining: 

 

The production of iron ore is developed in the city of Congonhas, in the State of Minas Gerais. It further mines tin in the State of Rondônia to supply the needs of UPV, with the excess of these raw materials being sold to subsidiaries and third parties. CSN holds the concession to operate TECAR, a solid bulk terminal, one of the 4 (four) terminals that comprise the Itaguaí Port, in Rio de Janeiro. Importations of coal and coke are carried out through this terminal.

 

·       Cement: 

 

CSN entered the cement market boosted by the synergy between this new activity and its already existing businesses. Next to the Presidente Vargas Steel Mill in Volta Redonda (RJ), it installed a new business unit: CSN Cimentos, which produces CP-III type cement by using slag produced by the UPV blast furnaces in Volta Redonda. It also explores limestone and dolomite at the Arches drive in the State of Minas Gerais, to supply the needs of UPV and of the cement plant.

 

·       Logistics 

 

Railroads:

 

CSN has equity interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística S. A., which manages the former Southeast Railway System of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., Transnordestina Logística S. A. (“TLSA”) and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“FTL”), which operate the Northeast Railway System of RFFSA, in the States of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, with TLSA being responsible for the streches of Missão Velha - Salgueiro, Salgueiro - Trindade, Trindade - Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro - Porto de Suape and Missão Velha - Porto de Pecém (Railway System II) and FTL being responsible for the streches of São Luiz - Mucuripe, Arrojado - Recife, Itabaiana - Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante - Macau and Propriá - Jorge Lins (Railway System I).

 

Ports:  

 

In the State of Rio de Janeiro, by means of its subsidiary Sepetiba Tecon S. A., the Company operates the Container Terminal (Tecon) at the Itaguaí Port.  Located in the Bay of Sepetiba, this port has privileged highway, railroad and maritime access.

 

Tecon handles the shipments of CSN steel products, movement of containers, as well as storage, consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo.

In order to meet the needs of some customers in the domestic market, related to the extension of the payment term for billing of steel, in common agreement with CSN’s internal commercial policy and maintenance of its very short-term receipts (up to 7 days), at the request of the customer, transactions are carried out for assignment of receivables without co-obligation negotiated between the customer and banks with common relationship, where CSN assigns the trade notes/bills that it issues to the banks with common relationship.

 

Due to the characteristics of the transactions for assignment of receivables without co-obligation, after assignment of the customer’s trade notes/bills and receipt of the funds from the closing of each transaction, CSN settles the trade receivables and becomes entirely free of the credit risk on the transaction. This transaction totals R$405,351 as of March 31, 2014 (R$386,732 as of December 31, 2013), less the trade receivables.

At the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on December 27, 2013, as part of the reorganization process described above, the shareholders approved the disproportionate spin-off of TLSA, completing the segregation of Railway System I and Railway System II.

 

The purpose of this restructuring was to rebalance economically and financially the Northeast Railway System concession, leading to the extension of the Railway System II operation concession, which could reach 2057, and the segregation of the assets related to Railway System I, which were merged into subsidiary FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“FTL”), with the maintenance of the assets related to Railway System II in TLSA.

 

As a result of the spin-off, CSN became the holder of an 88.41% stake in FTL and a 77.30% stake in TLSA.

 

With the completion of the spin-off, the new Shareholders’ Agreement became effective and control is now jointly held with the shareholders part of the public block, which became the holders of substantive rights to make certain material company decisions and influence the ordinary course of business, as well as CSN, by influencing budgeting, internal policies, capital expenditures, debt, etc., thus typifying the loss of control by CSN, pursuant to specific IFRS criteria.

 

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, in accordance with IFRS 10, corresponding to CPC 36(R3), CSN reversed all TLSA assets and liabilities and non-controlling interests and started to recognize the remaining stake in this investment at fair value on the date control was lost. After this initial recognition, the investment starts to be measured under the equity method.

 

The gain generated by the loss of control over the investment recognized in the income statement, in other operating income in 2013, is broken down as follows:

II – Investments in financial instruments classified as available for sale and measured at fair value through OCI  

 

These consist mainly of investments in shares acquired in Brazil involving top ranked companies, which are recognized in non-current assets, and any gains or losses are recognized in shareholders' equity, where they will remain until actual realization of the securities or when any loss is considered unrecoverable.

 

Potential impairment of financial assets classified as available for sale      

 

The Company has investments in common (USIM3) and preferred (USIM5) shares (“Usiminas Shares”), designated as available-for-sale financial assets  as they do not meet the criteria to be classified within any of the other categories of financial instruments (loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The asset is classified as a non-current asset under line item “investments” and is carried at fair value based on the quoted price on the stock exchange (BM&FBOVESPA).

 

Considering the volatility of the quotations of Usiminas shares, the Company evaluated whether, at the end of the reporting period, there was objective evidence of impairment of these financial assets, i.e., the Company’s management evaluated if the decline in the market value of Usiminas shares should be considered either significant or prolonged. In turn, this valuation requires judgment based on CSN’s policy, prepared according to practices used in the domestic and international markets, and consists of an instrument by instrument analysis based on quantitative and qualitative information available in the market, from the time an instrument shows a drop of 20% or more in its market value or from the time there is a significant drop in its market value as compared to its acquisition price during more than twelve months.

 

Based on the qualitative and quantitative elements, management concluded, in its best judgment, that there was evidence of a significant impairment of the investment in Usiminas shares as of June 30, 2012, and, consequently, reclassified the accumulated losses recorded in other comprehensive income amounting to R$1,599,485, net of income tax and social contribution, to profit for the year, by recognizing R$2,022,793 in other operating expenses and R$423,308 in deferred taxes.

 

In December 2012 there was an additional recognition of R$264,441 related to deferred taxes on accumulated losses due to the annual analysis of the effective income tax and social contribution rate that took into consideration the temporary differences generated by this investment in CSN subsidiaries resulting from the reclassification of accumulated losses.

However, as of June 30, 2013, there was an additional decline in the quotation of the common shares (USIM3) as compared with the quotation as of June 30, 2012 which, according to the Company's accounting policy, generated a loss of R$5,002, recorded directly in other operating expenses. Beginning this date, pursuant to a Company's policy, gains and losses arising from the variation of the quotation of shares were recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives with respect to its investment in Usiminas. These initiatives can, for example, affect the way an investment is recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

 

III – Fair values of assets and liabilities as compared to their carrying amounts

Some Group companies recognized tax credits on income tax and social contribution loss carryforwards not subject to statute of limitations and based on the history of profitability and expected future taxable profits determined in technical studies approved by Management.

 

Since they are subject to significant factors that may change the projections for realization, the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets and projections are reviewed annually. These studies indicate the realization of these tax assets within the term stipulated by the mentioned instruction and the limit of 30% of the taxable profit.

 

Certain Group companies have tax assets amounting to R$177,446 and R$24,349, related to income tax and social contribution loss carryforwards, for which no deferred taxes were set up, of which R$35,829 expire in 2015, R$10,611 in 2018 and R$56,537 in 2025. The remaining tax assets refer to domestic companies and, therefore, are not subject to statute of limitations.

 

The Company’s corporate structure includes foreign subsidiaries whose profits are subject to income tax levied by the related countries, recognized at tax rates lower than in Brazil.

 

For the years from 2010 to 2014 these subsidiaries generated profits amounting to R$4,031,024, which tax authorities may understand that have already been distributed, hence, it would be subject to additional taxation in Brazil, in the approximate amount of R$1,300,000. The Company, based on its legal counsel's opinion, assessed the likelihood of loss in a potential challenge by tax authorities as possible and, therefore, no provision was recognized in the condensed interim financial statements.

a)      Tax Recovery Program (Federal Refis) – Law 11,941/09 and Law 12,865/13

 

·         New deadline – Law 11,941/09

 

On November 26, 2009, the Group companies joined the Tax Recovery Programs established by Law 11,941/09 and Provisional Act 470/2009, aimed at settling tax liabilities through a special payment system and installment plan for the settlement of tax and social security obligations.

 

With the new deadline to join the Law 11,941/09 tax installment program established by the RFB/PGFN, pursuant to Law 12,865/13, the Company analyzed with its legal counsel the lawsuits that could have changed or be subject to new jurisprudence, the Company concluded that some tax debts could be included in the new tax installment plan on December 27, 2013. After the analysis, the Company concluded that there were debts that could be included in the program and applied for installment payment on December 27, 2013.  

 

·         Overseas profits – Law 12,865/13

 

Under Article 40 of Law 12,865/13, the federal government allowed the payment in installments of income tax and social contribution arising from the application of Article  74 of Provisional Act 2158-35/2001, the so-called overseas profits, which requires that profits earned by foreign subsidiaries or associates be taxed at year end.

 

The Company elected to join the amounts corresponding to the assessed period (2004-2009), on November 29, 2013.   

 

Both programs provide for reductions in fines and interest, however, only income tax and social contribution debt arising from the application of Law 12,865/12 could be settled with tax credits claimed on tax loss carryforwards of subsidiaries and the parent company. The tax credit utilized by the subsidiaries total R$565,273, of which R$550,270 did not have a recognized tax credit.

 

The remaining balance was divided into 179 monthly installments adjusted by the SELIC and the amount determined pursuant to Laws 11,941/09 and 1,2865/13 is subject to approval by the tax authorities.

 

b)      Other tax installments (regular and other)

 

The Group companies also joined the Regular social security tax (INSS) installment plan and other plans.

The provision for tax, social security, labor, civil and environmental liabilities was estimated by management and is mainly based on the legal counsel’s assessment. Only proceedings for which the risk is classified as probable loss are accrued. Moreover, this provision includes tax liabilities resulting from contingencies filed by the Company, subject to SELIC (Central Bank’s policy rate).

§  Other administrative and judicial proceedings

 

The Group is a defendant in other administrative and judicial proceedings (tax, social security, labor, civil, and environmental), in the approximate amount of R$12,688,667, of which

 

(a)  R$6,654,445 refers to the tax assessment notice issued against the Company for an alleged sale of 40% of the shares of its subsidiary NAMISA to a Japanese-Korean consortium, thus failing to determine and pay taxes on the capital gain resulting from this transaction, and in May 2013, the São Paulo (SP) Regional Judgment Office (lower administrative court) issued a decision favorable to the Company and cancelled the tax assessment notice. In light of this decision, an ex-officio appeal was filed that will be judged by the Administrative Board of Tax Appeals (CARF).

 

(b)  R$701,695 refers to tax foreclosures filed to require the Company to pay the ICMS, as liable party, allegedly due on the electricity purchased from a Generating Plant and fully consumed in the manufacturing of steel products. The tax auditors believe that the use of electricity in the production process does not exclude the Company responsibility for withholding ICMS levied on delivery of this input in the plant.

 

(c)  R$547,557 refers to the offset of taxes that were not approved by the Federal Revenue Service for different reasons. The taxes involved are CSLL, IRPJ, IPI, PIS and COFINS. The analysis of the entire documentation evidences the right to claim credits and the right to file the offset requests, processed at the time. 

 

(d)  R$521,197 refers to the decision issued by the Federal Revenue Service that partially approved the request to pay debts in installments governed by Provisional Act 470/09, due to the insufficiency of tax loss carryforwards. When it consolidated the tax installment plan, the Federal Revenue Service considered the existing outstanding balance in the Inflationary Profit Tax Return (SAPLI) as the correct amount: however, this balance already included the adjustments to tax loss carryforwards as a result of the Overseas Profits tax assessment notice issued against the Company.

 

(e)  R$460,669 refers to the disallowance of the ICMS credits claimed by the Company in the period 04/1999-07/2002 on the transfer of iron ore between the Casa de Pedra mine and the Presidente Vargas Plan. According to the tax auditors, the tax base used on the transfer under the Minas Gerais State Law is not accepted under the Rio de Janeiro State Law, reason why the difference was disallowed. 

 

(f)   R$260,321 refers to the disallowance of the ICMS credits on the acquisition of subsidiary INAL’s units located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. According to the tax auditors, the acquisition of a unit does not entitle an entity to claim ICMS credits. In light of these tax assessments, the Company filed for an injunction at the time and its right to change its State taxpayer master file was recognized, to state that the units acquired belong to CSN. This decision was favorable to the Company and can be applied in the judgment of our appeals by the Rio de Janeiro State Taxpayers Board.

 

(g)  R$2,113,511 refers to other tax (federal, state, and municipal) lawsuits.

 

(h)  R$973,226 refers to labor and social security lawsuits; R$407,173 refers to civil lawsuits, and R$48,873 refers to environmental lawsuits.

 

The assessments made by legal counsel define these administrative and judicial proceedings as entailing risk of possible loss and, therefore, no provision was recorded in conformity with Management’s judgment and accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

(*) The ore sales volumes presented in this note take into consideration Company sales and the interest in its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities (Namisa 60%).

 

Adjusted EBITDA is the tool based on which the chief operating decision maker measures segment performance and the capacity to generate recurring operating cash, and consists of profit for the year less net finance income (costs), income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization, share of profits of investments, and other operating income (expenses), plus the proportional EBITDA of jointly controlled entities.

 

Even though it is an indicator used in segment performance measurements, EBITDA is not a measurement recognized by accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS, does not have a standard definition, and may not be comparable with measurements using similar names provided by other entities.

 

As required by IFRS 8, the table below shows the reconciliation of the measurement used by the chief operating decision maker with the results determined using the accounting practices.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional

São Paulo – SP

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (“the Company”), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, included in the Interim Financial Information Form (ITR), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, which comprises the balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and the related statements of income, and of comprehensive income, for the three-months periods then ended and of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Information and of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and with international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1), applicable to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission.

 


 

 

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission.

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim statements of value added (DVA), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's Management, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and considered as supplemental information for International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS, which do not require the presentation of DVA. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

The accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
