(B3: GOAU) (together, "Companies") hereby inform their shareholders and the market in general that the projections, previously disclosed as "Investments in Strategic CAPEX" and now disclosed as "Investments in Main Projects", and the consequent "Potential Annual EBITDA" have been revised, as described below and detailed in the presentation of the "Gerdau Investor Day 2025", disclosed to the market on this date:

 

·Investments in Main Projects: it is estimated the amount pf R$ 5.2 billion, from which R$ 4.0 billion have already been invested and R$ 1.2 billion is projected to be invested by 2027.

 

·Potential Annual EBITDA: it is estimated that, after the ramp-up, the Main Projects have the potential to generate annual EBITDA in the amount of R$ 1.5 billion.

 

oRegarding the Miguel Burnier Mining Project, the Companies estimate a potential EBITDA of approximately R$ 400 million in 2026, considering a learning curve of 12 months. After completing the ramp-up, the estimated gain is R$ 1.1 billion per year.
