Comments on the Company´s Consolidated Performance

 

Economic Scenario

 

Throughout 2015, the improvement in economic activity in the United States and the UK contrasted with the slower recovery in the Eurozone and the recession in Brazil and Japan. The IMF expects the global economy to grow by 3.3% in 2015, slightly less than in 2014 and by 3.8% in 2016.

 

The U.S. economy decelerated in the third quarter, recording growth of 1.5%, versus 3.9% in the previous three months. However, domestic demand remained solid and the labor market continued to expand, increasing expectations that the FED would begin the upward interest rate cycle shortly. 

 

In China, the third-quarter figures indicate the continuation of the economic accommodation process. GDP recorded a year-on-year growth of 6.9%, the lowest result since 2Q09. The country's authorities resumed the discussions focused on medium-term reforms and signaled that the current growth rate is acceptable.

 

In Brazil, the activity indicators are pointing to an even greater deterioration in 3Q15, characterized by economic shrinkage, high interest rates and inflation. As a result, uncertainty has led to greater risk aversion and the depreciation of the real. In this context, the government announced new fiscal measures after the downgrading of sovereign rating and the loss of investment-grade status. The Central Bank’s Focus report estimates an economic downturn of 3.10% in 2015, with inflation of 9.99%.

 

Industrial production fell by 10.9% in September, over the same month last year, primarily due to the 31.7% reduction in capital goods output. The labor market continues to deteriorate. According to the IBGE’s Monthly Employment Survey, the country’s unemployment rate reached 7.6% in September.

CSN Consolidated Result

 

·         CSN posted consolidated net revenue of R$3,956 million in 3Q15, 7% up on 2Q15, positively influenced by higher sales volume from mining operations and the depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar.

 

·          Cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled R$3,015 million, 6% more than in 2Q15, mainly due to the increase in sales volume from mining operations.

 

·         Third-quarter gross profit came to R$941 million, 12% up on 2Q15, while gross margin increased by 1.0 p.p. on the same comparison basis, reaching 24% in 3Q15.

 

·         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled R$531 million in 3Q15, 26% up on 2Q15, largely because of higher iron ore freight expenses, given- the increase in CIF sales and higher export sales expenses, and due to the higher expenses with sales of steel in the foreign market.

 

·         Other operating income and expenses totaled R$85 million in 3Q15, a 62% reduction over the R$223 million posted in 2Q15, particularly influenced by lower expenses with provisions. During 3Q15, the Company recognized impairment of R$81 million due to the reduction in the market value of Usiminas’ preferred shares.

 

·         Third-quarter net proportional financial result was negative by R$779 million, due to: i) Interest on loans and financing ex-exchange rate variation totaling R$1.304 million; ii) positive result from exchange and monetary variations amounting R$133 million and iii) financial revenues of R$123 million.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on net income/loss, plus depreciation and amortization, income tax, net financial result, results from investees and other operating revenue (expenses). Adjusted EBITDA also includes the proportional share of EBITDA of the jointly-owned investees: Namisa, MRS Logística and CBSI.

 

 


Indebtedness

 

Gross debt, net debt and the net debt/EBITDA ratio presented below reflect the Company’s proportional interest in Namisa, MRS Logística and CBSI, and includes financial investments as collateral for foreign exchange transactions on the BM&F. On September 30, 2015, consolidated net debt totaled R$23.4 billion, while the net debt/LTM EBITDA ratio was 6.6x.

Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

In order to manage the exposure in dollars, CSN considers the proportional consolidation of the jointly controlled Namisa, in which CSN holds 60% stake.

 

The net foreign exchange exposure generated by the difference between assets and liabilities in US dollars, derivative instruments and hedge accounting recorded in CSN, was US$457 million on 09/30/2015.

 

The derivatives form a long USD position achieved by the purchase of NDFs (Non-Deliverable Forwards).

 

The hedge accounting adopted by CSN correlates the projected exports flow in dollars with part of the scheduled debt principal payments in the same currency. Therefore, the exchange variation of the dollar-denominated debt is temporarily booked on shareholder’s equity, flowing through P&L when the revenues in USD from exports occur.

·         Steel product sales totaled 1.2 million tonnes, 6% down quarter-on-quarter. Of this total, 58% came from the domestic market, 39% from overseas subsidiaries and 3% from exports, thus confirming our subsidiaries’ gain of export market share. Total sales reached 3.86 million tonnes in 9M15, 2% less than in 9M14.

 

·         In the third quarter, domestic steel sales came to 686,000 tonnes, 10% down on 2Q15. Of this total, 645,000 tonnes corresponded to flat steel and 41,000 tonnes to long steel.

 

·         Third-quarter foreign steel sales amounted to 506,000 tonnes, in line with the 2Q15 figure. Of this total, the overseas subsidiaries sold 461,000 tonnes, 221,000 by LLC, 154,000 by SWT, 86,000 by Lusosider and, 44,000 tonnes of direct exports.

 

·         In 3Q15 CSN increased its share of coated products in total sales volume, according to the strategy of increasing CSN’s value-added product mix. In the domestic market, sales of coated such as galvanized and tin plate, accounted for 44% of sales volume compared to the 41% observed in 2Q15. In the foreign market, the increase rise from 66% of sales to 67% in 3Q15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Net revenue totaled R$2,737 million in 3Q15, 1% lower than 2Q15, due to the decrease in volumes of domestic steel sales and by SWT, partially offset by the increase of flat steel export sales and the depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar. Average net revenue per tonne increased by 2%, from R$2,172 in 2Q15 to R$2,224 in 3Q15.

·         In 3Q15, COGS amounted to R$2,270 million, 2% up on the R$2,225 million posted in 2Q15.

·      The parent company’s production cost totaled R$1.59 billion in 3Q15, 5% less than in 2Q15, particularly influenced by: i) the 14% reduction in raw material costs, given the lower production volume, and also due to the higher internal coke production; ii) the increase in labor costs given the pay rise due to the collective labour agreement.

·      The slab production cost reached R$979/t, lower than the R$984/t recorded in 2Q15. In US dollars, the cost reduced 13% to US$278/t compared to US$320/t in 2Q15, helped by the depreciation of the real against the dollar.

·         Adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$386 million in 3Q15, with an adjusted margin of 14%.

 

 

 

 

Mining

 

In the third quarter, the seaborne iron ore market continued under pressure due to the increasing supply and lower domestic steel demand in China. On the supply side, the capacity closures announced were more than offset by the ramp-up of projects in Australia and Brazil. On the demand side, the weaker investments and construction activities continued to negatively impact steel prices and margins recorded by Chinese steelmakers. In this scenario, iron ore prices dropped by 6% over 2Q15, averaging US$54.90/dmt (Platts, 62% Fe, N. China) in 3Q15. 

 

 

 

 

Results from CSN’s Mining Operation

 

·         In the third quarter, iron ore production totaled 7.94 million tonnes1, 17% up on 2Q15, with record production of 7.46 million tonnes from the Casa de Pedra mine.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Iron ore purchases reached 1.6 million tonne in 3Q15, 60% more than in 2Q15, due to market opportunities.

·      Iron ore sales reached 7.6 million tonnes1 in 3Q15, 27% up on 2Q15. Of this total, 6.0 million tonnes came from the Casa de Pedra and 1.6 million tonnes1 from Namisa. In addition to iron ore sales to third-parties, the Company allocated 1.4 million tonnes to its own steel production.

·         Net revenue from mining operations totaled R$942 million in 3Q15, 38% higher than in 2Q15, due to increased sales volumes. The FOB revenue in 3Q15 was US$38/t, unchanged from the previous quarter, while the iron ore price index (Platts 62% Fe, N. China) declined by 6% in the same period.

 

·         Third-quarter mining COGS came to R$625 million, 17% higher than the previous quarter, due to sales volume growth, partially offset by lower production costs. In the quarter, Casa de Pedra recorded a delivered cash cost to China of US$ 35.4/wmt, 9% lower compared to 2Q15.

·         Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA from mining operations totaled R$395 million, 74% up on 2Q15, due to: i) the increase in sales volume; ii) the effect from the currency depreciation in the quarter; and iii) lower production costs. EBITDA/tonne climbed from R$40.90 in 2Q15 to R$57.04 in 3Q15.

 

·         The EBITDA margin from mining operations increased 8.5 p.p. reaching 42% in 3Q15 from 33% in 2Q15, the highest margin recorded since the 1Q14.

 

Logistics

 

According to ANTAQ (the National Waterway Transport Agency), Brazil’s ports handled 480 million gross tonnes in 1H15, 3.7% higher than the same period in the previous year.

An unscheduled stoppage at UPV’s grinding operations resulted in discontinuation of production in Volta Redonda for 37 days. Nevertheless, volume remained virtually stable due to the start-up of additional production capacity in Arcos. 

 

 

Energy

 

According to the Energy Research Company (EPE), Brazilian electricity consumption recorded year-on-year reduction of 0.7% in the first nine months of 2015, to 348 TWh. Consumption in the industrial and residential segments fell by 4.5% and 0.7%, respectively, while the commercial segment registered a 1.1% increase. Given this scenario, EPE’s initial forecast at the close of last year of a 3.1% increase in consumption, was revised down to a 1.5% decline in the second four-month review.

 

Results from CSN’s Energy Operation

 

In 3Q15, net revenues from energy operations totaled R$60 million, adjusted EBITDA reached R$8 million and the EBITDA margin was 13%.

 

Capital Markets

 

CSN’s shares depreciated by 24% in 3Q15, while the IBOVESPA dropped by 15% during the same period. Daily traded volume on the BM&FBovespa averaged R$28.6 million. On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), CSN’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) fell by 42%, versus the Dow Jones’ 8% depreciation.

Notes to the Individual and Consolidated Financial Information for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2015

 (Expressed in thousands of reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

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, joint ventures, joint operations and associates 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. CSN holds the concession to operate TECAR a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals that form the Port of Itaguai, located in Rio de Janeiro. Imports of coal and coke are made through this terminal.

 

·       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.

 

Iron ore is substantially sold in the international market, especially in Europe and Asia. The prices in force in these markets are historically cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations over short periods as a result of many factors related to global demand, to the strategies adopted by major steel producers and to the exchange rate.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.a) Basis of preparation

 

The individual and consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which correlate in Brazil is the CPC 21 (R1) (Interim Financial Statements and Consolidated Interim Financial Statements) issued by the CPC (Accounting Pronouncements Committee) and approved by CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission).

 

The significant accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with the policies described in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the CVM.

 

These condensed interim financial statements do not include all requirements of annual or full financial statements and, accordingly, should be read together with the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Therefore, in these condensed interim financial statements the following notes were not repeated, either due to redundancy or to relevance in relation to those already presented in the annual financial statements:

 

Note 02 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Note 07 - Investments

Note 14 – Taxes in installments

Note 25 – Employee benefits

Note 27 - Commitments

 

The individual and consolidated condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 12th, 2015.

 

2.b) Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions or valuation on which items are remeasured. The asset and liability balances are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. As of September 30, 2015, US$1 is equivalent to R$3.9729 (R$2.6562 as of December 31, 2014), €1 is equivalent to R$4.4349 (R$3.2270 as of December 31, 2014).

·       NACIONAL MINÉRIOS S.A. - (“Namisa”)

 

New strategic alliance with the Asian Consortium

 

On December 11, 2014, CSN’s Board of Directors approved the formation of a strategic alliance with the Asian Consortium (“JKTC”).

 

This transaction consists of creating a partnership between CSN and the JKTC, under which the JKTC will contribute its 40% stake in Namisa to Congonhas Minérios S.A. (“Congonhas Minérios”), a non-operating subsidiary of CSN, and to which CSN will contribute its Casa de Pedra iron ore mine, its 60% stake in Namisa, its 8.63% stake in MRS, and the assets of and the rights to manage and operate the TECAR Port concession.

 

After closing the deal, CSN and the JKTC will hold approximately 88.25% and 11.75% of the share capital of Congonhas Minérios, respectively.

 

These percentages were set considering the valuation of the entities´ net assets that will compose Congonhas Minérios and adjustments resulting from negotiations between CSN and JKTC involving the extinction of existing operating agreements between CSN and Namisa. As usual in transactions of this nature, in its closing will be held cash adjustments, debt and working capital.

CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE
ITR –– Quarterly Financial Information - September 30, 2015 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL Version:1

 

The transaction also provides for an earn-out mechanism, under which a qualifying liquidity event occurring within certain valuation parameters and a given period of time agreed after the transaction is closed could dilute the Consortium’s equity interest in Congonhas Minérios from 11.75% up to 8.21%.

 

The transaction’s primary purpose is to capture synergies among the businesses involved in this reorganization and generate shareholder value to create a world-class company. The main synergies identified are related to procedure optimization, increasing operation efficiencies and cutting operating costs, and capital expansion.

 

A portion of Congonhas Minérios’ iron ore production will be sold to members of the JKTC and CSN. These rights are laid down in long-term supply agreements.

 

The closing of the transaction is subject to the parties reaching a consensus on a business plan, regulatory approvals by antitrust authorities and the governmental authorities responsible for regulating mining and ports rights, and other precedent conditions usual in this type of transaction. The closing date is scheduled for the end of 2015.

 

If the transaction described above is not completed by the mentioned closing date (end of 2015), some obligations, the terms and conditions of the operation established in the agreements signed between the Company and JKTC in the year 2008, which remain suspended as a result of the transaction signing, will again be in force.

 

The shareholders' agreement signed in 2008 provides that certain situations of standstill between the shareholders and not resolved after mediation and negotiation procedures between the parties´ executives may give rise to the Company's right to exercise call option and the consortium´s right to exercise put option of its stake in Namisa.

 

Other agreements signed in order to enable this association in 2008, among the share purchase agreement as well as the long-term operating agreements between Namisa and the Company, provide for certain obligations that if not accomplished or resolved in the deadlines can give rise to, in certain situations, to the aggrieved party´s right to exercise put option or purchase, as appropriate, the shareholding of the JKTC in Namisa.

 

Any of these events can generate a significant disbursement that may have adverse effect on the Company.

There are no assets or liabilities classified as Level 3.

 

 

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

 

Consist mainly of investments in shares acquired in Brazil involving companies considered as top ranked by the Company, 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.

 

 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). According to Company´s policy, the gains and losses arising from changes in the price of shares are recorded directly in equity under other comprehensive income.

 

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. If a decline in the market value of the instrument is considered prolonged, the corresponding part previously recorded in other comprehensive income must be registered as impairment loss in the income statement.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, after a decline in the quoted prices of the common shares (USIM5) the Company reclassified the accumulated losses recognized in other comprehensive income, amounting to R$5,555 and R$59,027, net of income tax and social contribution, to profit (loss) for the period, recognizing R$8,417 and R$89,434 in other operating expenses and R$2,862 and R$30,407 in deferred taxes, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2015, after a new decline in the quoted prices of the common shares (USIM5) as compared with the quoted prices as of June 30, 2015, the Company reclassified the accumulated losses for the quarter recognized in other comprehensive income, amounting to R$81,016 to profit (loss) for the period, in other operating expenses. Deferred taxes amounting to R$ 27,545 have not been made as detailed in Note 14b.

 

The Company’s interest in Usiminas has not changed as compared with the percentage disclosed in the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

 

·       Share Market risks

 

The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in share prices due to the investments made and classified as available-for-sale.

 

According to the Company’s accounting policies, any negative changes in the investment in Usiminas considered significant (impairment) are recognized in profit or loss, and positive changes are recognized in comprehensive income until the investment is realized.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the amount recognized in comprehensive income for investments available for sale, net of taxes is R$(45,706).

Forward dollar contracts

 

As part of the hedging strategy of natural exposure to dollar, CSN contracts foreign exchange derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2015 the Company held in its       portfolio forward dollar contracts traded at BM&F Bovespa which totaled the notional amount of US$ 1.275 billion.

 

These contracts consist in negotiating the exchange rate of Reais to US dollar, for prompt delivery, contracted under Resolution 1.690/90 of the National Monetary Council (CMN) in standard contracts established by BM&F Bovespa. CSN determines the required volume of currency to be purchased in accordance with its foreign exchange management strategy and negotiates a sufficient volume of contracts to achieve this financial volume.

 

The maturity of the portfolio always occurs on the first business day of the contract´s maturity month, being renewable every 30 days, in average. The contract settlement is exclusively financial, on the due date and occurs daily until the maturity. The position held by the Company is set at the end of each session based on the difference of the day's settlement price (D0) compared to the previous day price (D-1), and is settled on the following day (D+1), according to the rules of BM&F.

 

For as much as the Company maintains contracts traded on the BM&F Bovespa, it is required by the clearing house a guarantee margin to cover those commitments in these contracts, which is only a percentage of the contract´s total amount. CSN maintains securities linked to this guarantee margin, consisting mainly of government bonds, which will be redeemed after the end position. The amounts ​​of these investments are described in Note 4.

 

The contracts on the BM&F Bovespa have been carried out to replace the foreign exchange swap contracts (NDF - Non Deliverable Forward) traded in over the counter markets.

Fixed rate-to-CDI swap

 

The purpose of this transaction is to peg obligations subject to a post-fixed rate (CDI) to a fixed rate. Basically, the Company contracted swaps for its obligations indexed to CDI, in which it receives interest on the notional amount (long position) and pays a pre-fixed rate on the notional amount of the contract date (short position). The gains and losses on this contract are directly related to CDI fluctuations. In general, these are transactions conducted in the Brazilian over-the-counter market that have as counterparty a prime financial institution.

 

 

Dollar x Euro swap

 

The subsidiary Lusosider has derivative transactions to protect its dollar exposure versus euro.

·       Hedge accounting – cash flow

 

In addition to the hedging strategy of protecting natural exposure to dollar, beginning November 1, 2014, the Company formally designated cash flow hedging relationships to protect highly probable future cash flows against US dollar fluctuations.

 

In order to better reflect the accounting impacts of this foreign exchange hedging strategy on its profit, CSN designated part of its US dollar-denominated liabilities as a hedging instrument of its future exports. As a result, foreign exchange differences arising on translating the designated liabilities have been temporarily recognized in shareholders’ equity and allocated to profit or loss when such exports are carried out, which will allow recognizing the US dollar impact on liabilities and exports concurrently.

According to internal policy, the hedge relationship was discontinued prospectively, since the resume of exports in future periods is possible.

 

In the hedging relationships described above, the amounts of the debt instruments were fully designated for equivalent iron ore export portions.

As of September 30, 2015 the hedging relationships established by the Company were effective, according to the prospective tests conducted. Thus, no reversal for hedge accounting ineffectiveness was recognized.

 

· Hedge of net investment in foreign subsidiaries

 

CSN has natural foreign exchange exposure in euros arising significantly from loan made by a subsidiary abroad with functional currency in Reais, for the acquisition of investments abroad whose functional currency is Euro. Such exposure arises from converting the balance sheets of these subsidiaries for consolidation in CSN, and the exchange rate of the loans affected the income statement in the financial result item and exchange variation of the net assets of the foreign operation directly affected the equity in other comprehensive income.

 

As from 1 September 2015 CSN began to adopt hedge of net investment to eliminate exposure in order to cover future fluctuations of the euro on such loans. Non-derivative financial liabilities have been designated represented by loan agreements with financial institutions in the amount of € 120 million. The carrying amounts as of September 30, 2015 are:

PAGE 59 of 86


 
CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE

From 2011 to the third quarter of 2015, these subsidiaries generated profits amounting to R$3,826,742, 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$1,301,092. 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.

 

·         Law 12.973/14

 

Law 12.973, enacted in May 2014, brought significant changes to tax legislation, which among others, revoked the Transition Tax Regime (RTT).Theses changes directly impact the determination of the income tax and social contribution basis. As from 2015, the application of the Law is mandatory and CSN applied the Law´s requirements.

 

·         Impairment test - Deferred taxes

 

CSN approved by the Board of Directors´ Meeting of November 6 th2015, a study to demonstrate the generation of future taxable income with which it is expected that the credits currently registered in the balance sheet are offset.

 

The test was performed considering only the parent company, since the other group companies have no relevant credits for purposes of this test. The parent company consists of the following businesses:

 

• Flat Steel Brazil;

• Long Steel Brazil;

• Mining

• Cement;

• Investments in other entities.

 

The study was prepared based on the CSN´s financial model of long-term and considered several scenarios which vary according to different macroeconomic and operating assumptions. Furthermore, the model considers a combination of assets sales scenario and liquidity events in order to achieve a specific amount of resources to CSN allowing a leverage reduction of and consequently, the reduction of financial expenses.

 

In addition, a sensitivity analysis of tax credits utilization considering a change in macroeconomic assumptions, operational performance and liquidity events took place. This sensitivity analysis showed that the consumption of credits is sensitive to exogenous issues and outside the Company's control.

 

Thus, considering the study´s results, which indicates the probable future taxable income to compensate the deferred income tax and social contribution balances recognized until June 30, 2015, the Board of Directors agreed to not record the deferred income tax and social contribution as from the 3rd quarter of 2015. If the tax credit for the quarter was constituted, the amount would be R$1.1 billion. Additionally, the study projects the compensation of the balance according to the schedule below:

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).

Environmental proceedings

 

 

The environmental proceedings have high complexity for estimating the amount at risk, as they must be considered, among several aspects, procedural developments, the extent of damage and the remediation costs´ projection.

 

During the second quarter 2015, in line with the Company's accounting policy of ongoing evaluation of the ongoing proceedings, management, supported by its internal and external legal counsel, reevaluated their environmental contingencies. As a result of this work, there was an increase of possible risk in R$187,886.

 

There are other environmental proceedings to which it is not yet possible to assess the risk and contingency amount due to the aforementioned complexity estimation, the peculiarities of the matters which concern them and their procedural stages.

1.   Refers to loans of the subsidiary FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A to the joint venture Transnordestina Logística S.A. The contract has a 102.5% of CDI interest rate and maturity expected in June 2017.

2.   Nacional Minérios S.A: Asset: Refers mainly to accounts receivable in the amount of R$110,150 (R$80,003 as of December 31, 2014) related to iron ore purchases.

 

Liability: Refers mainly to the advance from customer received from joint venture Nacional Minérios S.A. regarding the contractual obligation of supply of iron ore and port services. The contract is subject to interest rate of 12.5% p.a. and expires in September 2042.

As disclosed in note 8.c), the Company signed an investment agreement for the new strategic alliance formed with the Asian Consortium. During the procedures required to close the transaction, the interest established in the agreements was canceled; however, a resolutive condition was introduced to reinstate the collection of interest retrospectively if the deal is not closed. However, since CSN holds 60% stake in Namisa, the Company began to accrue 40% interest provided for in contracts that would be due to Asian partners, in the case the deal does not occur.

 

3.   Transnordestina Logística S.A: Refers mainly to contracts in R$: interest equivalent to 108.0% of CDI with final maturity in June 2017. As of September 30, 2015, borrowings total R$197,595 (R$141,358 as of December 31, 2014)

18.f) Policy on investments and payment of interest on capital and dividends

 

At a meeting held on December 11, 2000, the Board of Directors decided to adopt a dividend distribution policy which, after compliance with the provisions in Law 6.404/76, as amended by Law 9.457/97, will entail the distribution of all the profit to the Company’s shareholders, provided that the following priorities are observed, irrespective of their order: (i) carrying out the business strategy; (ii) fulfilling its obligations; (iii) making the required investments; and (iv) maintaining a healthy financial situation of the Company.

 

 

18.g) Earnings/(loss) per share (EPS):

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share were calculated based on the profit attributable to the owners of CSN divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the common shares purchased and held as treasury shares, as follows:

 (*) 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 (expenses), 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.

26. INSURANCE

 

Aiming to properly mitigate risk and in view of the nature of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries have taken out several different types of insurance policies. Such policies are contracted in line with the CSN Risk Management policy and are similar to the insurance taken out by other companies operating in the same lines of business as CSN and its subsidiaries. The risks covered under such policies include the following: Domestic Transportation, International Transportation, Carrier’s Civil Liability, Life and Casualty, Health Coverage, Fleet Vehicles, D&O (Civil Liability Insurance for Directors and Officers),

General Civil Liability, Engineering Risks, Sundry Risks, Export Credit, Performance Bond and Port Operator’s Civil Liability.

 

In 2015, after negotiation with insurers and reinsurers in Brazil and abroad, an Insurance Issue Certificate was issued for the contracting of a policy of Operational Risk of Property Damages and Loss of Profits, with effect from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016. Under the insurance policy, the LMI (Maximum Limit of Indemnity) is US$600,000,000 and covers the following units and subsidiaries of the Company:  Usina Presidente Vargas, Mineração Casa de Pedra, CSN Paraná, Terminal de Cargas Tecar, Terminal Tecon, Namisa, CSN Handel and Namisa Handel. CSN takes responsibility for a range of retention of US$375,000,000 in excess of the deductibles for property damages and loss of profits.

 

In view of their nature, the risk assumptions adopted are not part of the scope of an audit of financial statements and, accordingly, were not audited by our independent auditors.

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 September 30, 2015, which comprises the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three and nine-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Information and 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 the 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 interim financial information

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

 

 

 

 

PAGE 82 of 86


 

 

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, 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 - IFRSs, 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.
