Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Business Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), together with its subsidiaries (the company), is one of the largest and most diversified domestic steel producers and metals recycler, combined with a meaningful steel fabrication manufacturing platform. The company has four reporting segments: steel operations, metals recycling operations, steel fabrication operations, and aluminum operations. Effective the fourth quarter 2024, results from an entity previously reported within the metals recycling operations segment were moved to the aluminum operations segment, consistent with a change in how the company’s chief operating decision maker manages the business. Segment information provided within this Form 10-K, including that within Note 12. Segment Information Steel Operations Segment Steel operations include the company’s electric arc furnace (EAF) steel mills, including Butler Flat Roll Division, Columbus Flat Roll Division, Southwest-Sinton Flat Roll Division, Structural and Rail Division, Engineered Bar Products Division, Roanoke Bar Division, and Steel of West Virginia, steel coating and processing operations at The Techs, Heartland Flat Roll Division, United Steel Supply (USS) – 90% equity interest as of April 1, 2023, Vulcan Threaded Products, warehouse operations in Mexico, and SDI Biocarbon Solutions, a joint venture to construct and operate a biocarbon production facility, of which SDI has a 75% equity interest. Metals Recycling Operations Segment Metals recycling operations include the company’s OmniSource ferrous and nonferrous processing, transportation, marketing, brokerage, and scrap management services primarily throughout the United States and in Central and Northern Mexico. Steel Fabrication Operations Segment Steel fabrication operations include the company’s New Millennium Building Systems joist and deck plants located throughout the United States, and in Northern Mexico. Revenues from these plants are generated from the fabrication of girders, steel joists and steel deck used within the non-residential construction industry. Aluminum Operations Segment Aluminum operations include the recycled aluminum flat rolled products mill nearing completion of construction in Columbus, Mississippi, two satellite recycled aluminum slab centers in the southwest United States and Central Mexico, and an entity with aluminum operations, formerly included in the results of the metals recycling operations segment. The flat rolled products mill is a joint venture with Unity Aluminum, Inc. of which SDI has a 94.4% equity interest. The aluminum flat rolled products mill and the Mexico and US recycled aluminum slab centers are expected to begin operations in mid to late 2025. Other Other operations consist of subsidiary operations that are below the quantitative thresholds required for reportable segments and primarily consist of joint ventures and the company’s idled Minnesota ironmaking operations. Also included in “Other” are certain unallocated corporate accounts, such as the company’s senior unsecured credit facility, senior notes, certain other investments, and certain profit sharing expenses.

Business Combinations and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates Business Combinations ROCA The company acquired 100% of ROCA ACERO, S.A. de C.V. (ROCA) on October 1, 2022. The acquisition of ROCA is part of the company’s North American raw material procurement strategy. ROCA is headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, and operates ferrous and nonferrous scrap facilities strategically positioned near high-volume industrial scrap sources located throughout Central and Northern Mexico. The transaction was funded with available cash. Post ​ Note 2. Business Combinations and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates (Continued) Aluminum Dynamics The company obtained a 94.4% equity interest in a joint venture concurrently formed with Unity Aluminum, Inc. on July 29, 2022, for the construction and operation of a new state-of-the-art lower-carbon recycled aluminum flat rolled products mill. The transaction was funded with available cash. Operating results from and after July 29, 2022, are reflected in the company’s consolidated financial statements in the aluminum operations segment. ​ United Steel Supply The company purchased a 75% equity interest in United Steel Supply, LLC on March 1, 2019. On April 1, 2022, the company purchased an additional 12.5% equity interest in USS. On April 1, 2023, a noncontrolling member of USS exercised its option to require SDI to purchase its 2.5% equity interest, increasing SDI’s ownership to 90%. The remaining noncontrolling members have the option to require SDI to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest of USS on or after February 28, 2025. The USS noncontrolling interest is therefore reflected in redeemable noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. ​ Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates The company purchased a 45% minority equity interest in New Process Steel, L.P. (NPS) on January 31, 2022. NPS is a metals solutions and distribution supply-chain management company headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a focus toward growing its value-added manufacturing applications. On February 28, 2022, the company also purchased a minority equity interest in Aymium, a producer of renewable biocarbon products. As the company does not have power to control these entities, the company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting, which are recorded in Other Assets (noncurrent) in the company’s consolidated balance sheets with related activity recorded in Other (Income) Expense, net. Profits or losses from transactions with NPS are eliminated until realized by the majority equity interest owner. ​"]

Proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of the company’s 2.800% senior notes due December 2024, working capital, capital expenditures, advances for or investments in the company’s subsidiaries, acquisitions, redemption and repayment of other outstanding indebtedness, and purchases of the company’s common stock. Note 3. Long-Term Debt (Continued) Senior Credit Facility, due 2028 ​ On July 19, 2023, the company entered into an unsecured credit agreement comprised of a senior unsecured credit facility (Facility), which provides a $1.2 billion unsecured Revolver, maturing July 2028. Subject to certain conditions, the company has the opportunity to increase the Facility size by $500.0 million. The unsecured Facility is available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Facility contains financial covenants and other covenants pertaining to the company’s ability to incur indebtedness and permit liens on certain assets. The company’s ability to borrow funds within the terms of the unsecured Facility is dependent upon its continued compliance with financial and other covenants. At December 31, 2024, the company had $1.2 billion of availability on the Facility, $9.3 million of outstanding letters of credit and other obligations which reduce availability, and there were no borrowings outstanding. ​ The Facility pricing grid is adjusted quarterly and is based on either the company’s leverage of net debt (as defined in the Facility) to last-twelve-months (LTM) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Facility (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other non-cash items as allowed in the Facility), or the company’s credit ratings. The minimum pricing is adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ( SOFR SOFR The financial covenants under the Facility state that the company must maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 :1.00. The company’s interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing its LTM consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by its LTM gross interest expense, less amortization of financing fees. In addition, a debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 :1.00 must be maintained. At December 31, 2024, the company’s interest coverage ratio and debt to capitalization ratio were 21.68 :1.00 and 0.27 :1.00, respectively. The company was, therefore, in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2024, and anticipates remaining in compliance during the next twelve months. Senior Unsecured Notes The company has seven different tranches of senior unsecured notes (Notes) outstanding. These Notes are in equal right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and are senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness.

Annually, the company evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets for this controlled subsidiary. In completing this evaluation, the company considers all available positive and negative evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes current operating results, historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.

["Equity-Based Incentive Plans","Note 6. Equity-Based Incentive Plans 2023 Equity Incentive Plan In May 2023, the company’s shareholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (2023 Plan), which supersedes the prior Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2023 Plan is designed to attract, motivate, and retain qualified persons that are able to make important contributions to the company’s success. To accomplish these objectives, the 2023 Plan provides for awards of equity-based incentives through granting of restricted stock units (RSUs), deferred stock units (DSUs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance awards, such as the long-term incentive compensation program (LTIP), restricted stock awards (of which none have been granted), stock options (of which none have been granted), and unrestricted stock awards (of which none have been granted). Under the 2023 Plan, 9.0 million shares of common stock were reserved for grant through December 31, 2033. The 2023 Plan uses a fungible share concept under which any awards that are not a full-value award, such as stock options and stock-settled SARs, will be counted against the share reserve as one share for each share of common stock, and awards that are full-value awards, such as RSUs, DSUs, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, and performance awards, will be counted against the share reserve as 2.09 shares for each share of common stock. The SARs the company has granted to date can only be settled in cash, and thus, do not count against the share reserve. At December 31, 2024, there were 6.2 million shares still available for issuance. Note 6.

In the fourth quarter 2024, results from an entity previously reported within the metals recycling operations segment were moved to the aluminum operations segment, consistent with a change in how the CODM manages the business. Segment information provided within this Form 10-K has been recast for all prior periods presented consistent with the current reportable segment presentation. The segment operations are more fully described in Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The CODM assesses segment performance and allocates resources primarily based on operating income. The CODM uses operating income to allocate operating and capital resources and assesses performance of each segment by comparing actual operating income results to historical and previously forecasted financial information. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Intra-segment sales and any related profits are eliminated in consolidation. The company’s segment results, with prior periods recast consistent with our current reportable segments presentation, including disaggregated revenue by segment to external, external non-United States, and other segment customers, are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Metals ​ Steel ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the year ended ​ Steel ​ Recycling ​ Fabrication ​ Aluminum ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2024 ​ Operations ​ Operations ​ Operations ​ Operations ​ Other (a) ​ Eliminations ​ Consolidated ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net sales - disaggregated revenue ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ External ​ $ 11,311,552 ​ $ 1,311,124 ​ $ 1,761,771 ​ $ 256,051 ​ $ 1,435,062 ​ $ - ​ $ 16,075,560 External Non-United States ​ ​ 749,932 ​ ​ 694,010 ​ ​ 1,731 ​ ​ 2,496 ​ ​ 16,661 ​ ​ - ​ ​ 1,464,830 Other segments ​ ​ 465,582 ​ ​ 2,131,779 ​ ​ 8,293 ​ ​ 60,142 ​ ​ - ​ ​ (2,665,796) ​ ​ - Net sales ​ ​ 12,527,066 ​ ​ 4,136,913 ​ ​ 1,771,795 ​ ​ 318,689 ​ ​ 1,451,723 ​ ​ (2,665,796) ​ ​ 17,540,390 Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cost of goods sold ​ ​ 10,736,557 ​ ​ 3,946,457 ​ ​ 1,006,211 ​ ​ 298,572 ​ ​ 1,420,978 ​ ​ (2,670,971) ​ ​ 14,737,804 Other segment items (b) ​ ​ 208,135 ​ ​ 113,649 ​ ​ 98,600 ​ ​ 92,448 ​ ​ 348,153 ​ ​ (1,436) ​ ​ 859,549 Operating income (loss) ​ ​ 1,582,374 ​ ​ 76,807 ​ ​ 666,984 ​ ​ (72,331) ​ ​ (317,408) ​ ​ 6,611 ​ ​ 1,943,037 Interest expense, net of capitalized interest ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 56,347 Other (income) expense, net ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (96,191) Income before income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,982,881 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Depreciation and amortization ​ $ 351,558 ​ $ 56,148 ​ $ 11,071 ​ $ 6,786 ​ $ 53,344 ​ $ - ​ $ 478,907 Capital expenditures ​ ​ 461,524 ​ ​ 83,020 ​ ​ 29,374 ​ ​ 1,309,027 ​ ​ 55,183 ​ ​ (70,122) ​ ​ 1,868,006 Total Assets ​ ​ 8,776,445 ​ ​ 1,301,234 ​ ​ 665,867 ​ ​ 2,802,647 ​ ​ 3,319,917 (c) ​ (1,930,877) ​ ​ 14,935,233 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Note 12.

["Revenue from Contracts with Customers","Revenue from Contracts with Customers In the steel, metals recycling, and aluminum operations segments, revenue is recognized at the point in time the performance obligation is satisfied, and control of the product is transferred to the customer upon shipment or delivery, at the amount of consideration the company expects to receive, including any variable consideration. The variable consideration included in the company’s steel operations segment contracts, which is not constrained, includes estimated product returns and customer claims based on historical experience, and may include volume rebates which are recorded on an expected value basis. Revenue recognized is limited to the amount the company expects to receive. The company does not exercise significant judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations or the transaction price. Shipment of products to customers is considered a fulfillment activity with amounts billed to customers included in sales and costs associated with such activities included in cost of goods sold. The company’s steel fabrication operations segment recognizes revenue over time at the amount of consideration the company expects to receive. Revenue is measured on an output method representing completed fabricated tons to date as a percentage of total tons required for each contract. Revenue from fabrication of tons remaining on partially fabricated customer contracts as of a reporting date, and future revenue from yet to be fabricated customer contracts, has not been disclosed under the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 related to customer contracts with expected duration of one year or less. The company does not exercise significant judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations or the transaction price. Shipment of products to customers, which occurs after control over the product has transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized, is considered a fulfillment activity with amounts billed to customers included in sales and costs associated with such activities included in cost of goods sold. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days of invoicing, which generally occurs upon shipment of the products. Shipment for the steel fabrication operations segment generally occurs within 30 days of satisfaction of the performance obligation and revenue recognition.

["Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible and Definite Lived Intangible Assets","Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets The company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations 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. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to its carrying amount. The company considers various factors and determines whether an impairment test is necessary, including by way of examples, a significant and prolonged deterioration in operating results and/or projected cash flows, significant changes in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, technological advances with respect to assets which would potentially render them obsolete, the company’s strategy and capital planning, and the economic environment in markets to be served.

["Impairment of Goodwill","Impairment of Goodwill At least once annually (as of October 1), or when indicators of impairment exist, the company performs a goodwill impairment analysis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally one level below the company’s operating segments. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the company recognizes an impairment loss in the amount by which the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The company has the option to consider qualitative factors to assess if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If elected to bypass the qualitative assessment or if indications of a potential impairment exist, the company performs a quantitative test. Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) When conducting a qualitative assessment, the company considers the impact of several factors on the company overall and each reporting unit individually including the timing and results of prior quantitative tests performed, changes in the carrying amount of the reporting unit, macroeconomic conditions (including changes in interest and discount rates), industry and market conditions, recent and projected financial performance, the company’s competitive position and other factors. When conducting a quantitative test, the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by using an estimate of future cash flows utilizing a risk-adjusted discount rate to calculate the net present value of future cash flows (income approach), and for some years by using a market approach based upon an analysis of valuation metrics of comparable peer companies, using Level 3 fair value inputs as provided for under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . ​ No impairment was identified during the company’s 2024, 2023 or 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis. During 2024, the company performed a qualitative assessment and performed quantitative tests in 2023 and 2022."]
["Equity-Based Compensation","Equity-Based Compensation The company has several stock-based employee compensation plans which are more fully described in Note 6. Equity-Based Incentive Plans. Compensation expense for restricted stock units, deferred stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation awards, and performance awards is recorded over the vesting periods using the fair value as determined by the closing fair market value of the company’s common stock on the grant date, and with respect to performance awards, an estimate of probability of award achievement during the performance period. The company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense for these stock-based employee compensation plans was $65.6 million, $60.1 million, and $69.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively."]
["Income Taxes","Income Taxes The company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse."]
["Earnings Per Share","Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the weighted average dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding during the period applied to the company’s basic earnings per share. Common share equivalents represent potentially dilutive restricted stock units, deferred stock units, restricted stock, and performance awards, and are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. There were 269,000 anti-dilutive common stock equivalents as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no anti-dilutive common stock equivalents as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. ​ Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the company’s basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share data): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ 2023 ​ ​ Net Income ​ Shares ​ Per Share ​ ​ Net Income ​ Shares ​ Per Share ​ ​ (Numerator) ​ (Denominator) ​ Amount ​ ​ (Numerator) ​ (Denominator) ​ Amount Basic earnings per share ​ $ 1,537,134 ​ ​ 155,420 ​ $ 9.89 ​ ​ $ 2,450,882 ​ ​ 166,552 ​ $ 14.72 Dilutive common share equivalents ​ ​ - ​ ​ 716 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ - ​ ​ 879 ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings per share ​ $ 1,537,134 ​ ​ 156,136 ​ $ 9.84 ​ ​ $ 2,450,882 ​ ​ 167,431 ​ $ 14.64 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ Net Income ​ Shares ​ Per Share ​ ​ (Numerator) ​ (Denominator) ​ Amount ​ Basic earnings per share $ 3,862,674 ​ ​ 183,393 ​ $ 21.06 ​ Dilutive common share equivalents ​ - ​ ​ 1,229 ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings per share $ 3,862,674 ​ ​ 184,622 ​ $ 20.92 ​"]
["Concentration of Credit Risk","Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to significant concentrations of credit risk principally consist of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. When advantageous, the company places its temporary cash with high credit quality financial institutions and companies and limits the amount of credit exposure from any one entity. The company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers. The company mitigates its exposure to credit risk, which it generally extends initially on an unsecured basis, by performing ongoing credit evaluations and taking further action if necessary, such as requiring letters of credit or other security interests to support the customer receivable."]
["Derivative Financial Instruments","Derivative Financial Instruments The company routinely enters into forward exchange traded futures to manage price risk associated with nonferrous metal inventory, as well as purchases and sales of nonferrous (primarily aluminum and copper) and ferrous metals, to reduce exposure to commodity related price fluctuations. The company does not enter into these derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as hedges, depending on the nature of the hedge, are recognized as either an offset against the change in fair value of the hedged balance sheet item in the case of fair value hedges or as other comprehensive income in the case of cash flow hedges, until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings for fair value hedges. The company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements. In the normal course of business, the company has derivative financial instruments in the form of forward contracts in various metallic commodities and those related to managing fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. At the time of acquiring these financial instruments, the company designates and assigns these instruments as hedges of specific assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions. When hedged assets or liabilities are sold or extinguished, or the anticipated transaction being hedged is no longer expected to occur, the company recognizes the gain or loss on the designated hedged financial instrument in earnings. Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments, along with required margin deposit amounts with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, totaled $26.0 million and $24.0 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are reflected in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Total gains and losses related to derivatives in fair value hedging relationships, as well as those not designated as hedging instruments, are recognized in costs of goods sold and were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, for which gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, along with net amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
