Notes to the Financial Statements

1.      GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Ternium S.A. (the “Company” or “Ternium”), was incorporated on December 22, 2003 to hold investments in flat and long steel manufacturing and distributing companies.  The Company has an authorized share capital of a single class of 3.5 billion shares having a nominal value of USD 1.00 per share.  As of September 30, 2014, there were 2,004,743,442 shares issued.  All issued shares are fully paid.

Following a corporate reorganization carried out during fiscal year 2005, in January 2006 the Company successfully completed its registration process with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Ternium’s ADSs began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TX” on February 1, 2006.  The Company’s initial public offering was settled on February 6, 2006.  

The Company was initially established as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under Luxembourg’s 1929 holding company regime.  Until termination of such regime on December 31, 2010, holding companies incorporated under the 1929 regime (including the Company) were exempt from Luxembourg corporate and withholding tax over dividends distributed to shareholders.

On January 1, 2011, the Company became an ordinary public limited liability company (société anonyme) and, effective as from that date, the Company is subject to all applicable Luxembourg taxes (including, among others, corporate income tax on its worldwide income) and its dividend distributions will generally be subject to Luxembourg withholding tax.  However, dividends received by the Company from subsidiaries in high income tax jurisdictions, as defined under Luxembourg law, will continue to be exempt from corporate income tax in Luxembourg under Luxembourg’s participation exemption.

As part of the Company’s corporate reorganization in connection with the termination of Luxembourg’s 1929 holding company regime, on December 6, 2010, the Company contributed its equity holdings in all its subsidiaries and all its financial assets to its Luxembourg wholly-owned subsidiary Ternium Investments S.à r.l., or Ternium Investments, in exchange for newly issued corporate units of Ternium Investments. As the assets contributed were recorded at their historical carrying amount in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP, the Company’s December 2010 contribution of such assets to Ternium Investments resulted in a non-taxable revaluation of the accounting value of the Company’s assets under Luxembourg GAAP. The amount of the December 2010 revaluation was equal to the difference between the historical carrying amounts of the assets contributed and the value at which such assets were contributed and amounted to USD 4.0 billion. However, for the purpose of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the assets contributed by Ternium to its wholly-owned subsidiary Ternium Investments were recorded based on their historical carrying amounts in accordance with IFRS, with no impact on the financial statements.

1.      GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Following the completion of the corporate reorganization, and upon its conversion into an ordinary Luxembourg holding company, the Company voluntarily recorded a special reserve exclusively for tax-basis purposes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, this special reserve amounted to USD 7.5 billion and USD 7.6 billion, respectively. The Company expects that, as a result of its corporate reorganization, its current overall tax burden will not increase, as all or substantially all of its dividend income will come from high income tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company expects that dividend distributions for the foreseeable future will be imputed to the special reserve and therefore should be exempt from Luxembourg withholding tax under current Luxembourg law.

The name and percentage of ownership of subsidiaries that have been included in consolidation in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements is disclosed in Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current period.

The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial position, and also the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. However, the fact that the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries differ, results in the generation of foreign exchange gains and losses that are included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement under “Other financial  income (expenses), net”.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors of Ternium on November 4, 2014.

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and are unaudited. These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the European Union (“EU”). Recently issued accounting pronouncements were applied by the Company as from their respective dates.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New accounting pronouncements have been issued after December 31, 2013, as follows:

International Financial Reporting Standard 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, "Revenue from contracts with customers", which sets out the requirements in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and which is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. IFRS 15 must be applied annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

International Financial Reporting Standard 9, “Financial instruments”

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9, "Financial instruments", which replaces the guidance in IAS 39. It includes requirements on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, as well as an expected credit losses model that replaces the current incurred loss impairment model. IFRS 9 must be applied on annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

These standards are not effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2014 and have not been early adopted.

The Company's management has not yet assessed the potential impact that the application of these standards may have on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

3.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company is organized in two reportable segments: Steel and Mining.

The Steel segment includes the sales of steel products, which comprises slabs, hot rolled coils and sheets, cold rolled coils and sheets, tin plate, welded pipes, hot dipped galvanized and electro-galvanized sheets, pre-painted sheets, billets (steel in its basic, semi-finished state), wire rod and bars and other tailor-made products to serve its customers’ requirements.

The Steel segment comprises three operating segments: Mexico, Southern Region and Other markets. These three segments have been aggregated considering the economic characteristics and financial effects of each business activity in which the entity engages; the related economic environment in which it operates; the type or class of customer for the products; the nature of the products; and the production processes. The Mexico operating segment comprises the Company’s businesses in Mexico. The Southern region operating segment manages the businesses in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay. The Other markets operating segment includes businesses mainly in United States, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras.

The Mining segment includes the sales of mining products, mainly iron ore and pellets, and comprises the mining activities of Las Encinas, an iron ore mining company in which Ternium holds a 100% equity interest and the 50% of the operations and results performed by Peña Colorada, another iron ore mining company in which Ternium maintains that same percentage over its equity interest. Both mining operations are located in Mexico.

Ternium’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) holds monthly meetings with senior management, in which operating and financial performance information is reviewed, including financial information that differs from IFRS principally as follows:

3.      SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

- The use of direct cost methodology to calculate the inventories, while under IFRS is at full cost, including absorption of production overheads and depreciation.

- The use of costs based on previously internally defined cost estimates, while, under IFRS, costs are calculated at historical cost (with the FIFO method).

- Other timing and non-significant differences.

Most information on segment assets is not disclosed as it is not reviewed by the CODM.

3.      SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

There are no revenues from external customers attributable to the Company’s country of incorporation (Luxembourg).

For purposes of reporting geographical information, net sales are allocated based on the customer’s location. Allocation of non-current assets is based on the geographical location of the underlying assets.

4.      COST OF SALES

5.      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

6.      OTHER FINANCIAL INCOME (EXPENSES) , NET

7.      PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

8.      INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

9.      INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES

(1) It includes the investments held in Techgen S.A. de C.V., Finma S.A.I.F., Arhsa S.A., Techinst S.A., Recrotek  S.R.L. de C.V. and Gas Industrial de Monterrey S.A. de C.V.

(a) Techgen S.A. de C.V.

Following the execution of an August 2013 memorandum of understanding for the construction and operation of a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico, as of February 2014, Ternium, Tenaris and Tecpetrol International S.A. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Faustin S.A., the controlling shareholder of both Ternium and Tenaris) have completed their initial investments in Techgen, S.A. de C.V. (Techgen), a Mexican project company owned 48% by Ternium, 30% by Tecpetrol and 22% by Tenaris.  Tenaris and Ternium have also agreed to enter into power supply and transportation agreements with Techgen, pursuant to which Ternium and Tenaris will contract 78% and 22%, respectively, of Techgen’s power capacity of between 850 and 900 megawatts.

(b) Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. - USIMINAS

On January 16, 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiary Ternium Investments S.à r.l., together with the Company’s Argentine majority-owned subsidiary Siderar S.A.I.C. (and Siderar’s wholly-owned Uruguayan subsidiary Prosid Investments S.C.A.), and Confab Industrial S.A., a Brazilian subsidiary of Tenaris S.A. (“TenarisConfab”), joined Usiminas’ existing control group through the acquisition of 84.7, 30.0, and 25.0 million ordinary shares, respectively. As a result of these transactions, the control group, which holds 322.7 million ordinary shares representing the majority of Usiminas’ voting rights, is now formed as follows: Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation Group (formerly Nippon Group) 46.1%, Ternium/Tenaris Group 43.3%, and CEU 10.6%.

9. INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES (continued)

As of September 30, 2014 the value of the investment is comprised as follows:

At September 30, 2014, the closing price of the Usiminas’ ordinary shares as quoted on the BM&FBovespa Stock Exchange was BRL 6.64 (approximately USD 2.71) per share, giving Ternium’s ownership stake a market value of approximately USD 310.8 million.

The Company reviews periodically the recoverability of its investment in Usiminas. To determine the recoverable value, the Company estimates the value in use of the investment by calculating the present value of the expected cash flows. There is a significant interaction among the principal assumptions made in estimating Usiminas cash flow projections, which include iron ore and steel prices, foreign exchange and interest rates, Brazilian GDP and steel consumption in the Brazilian market.

Many of the above mentioned drivers of Usiminas recoverable value estimation showed a high degree of volatility during the third quarter of 2014 and as of the release of these financial statements. Brazil’s recently held presidential elections were one of the main causes of this volatility, as the runners-up to Brazil’s presidency were perceived as having significantly different economic policy views, creating a high level of uncertainty regarding the country’s future macro-economic environment.

Since the acquisition of its investment in Usiminas and up to September 30, 2014, Ternium reduced the carrying value of the investment by 42% through impairment charges, currency translation adjustments (CTA) due to the devaluation of the Brazilian currency against the US dollar, and the results of the company.  In the third quarter of 2014, the value of the investment in Usiminas declined by USD 155 million, mainly through CTA.

Under this volatile and uncertain environment, the Company reviewed its value in use calculation with the information currently available and based on the long term potential and prospects of Usiminas, and determined no need for an impairment charge. Nevertheless, during the following months, Ternium will closely follow the newly elected Brazilian government’s changes to economic policy, if any, together with the Brazilian Real exchange rate expectations, and will evaluate their impact in the drivers of Usiminas recoverable value. These matters could lead to further reductions in the carrying value of Ternium’s investment in Usiminas, either through CTA or impairment charges.

On October 28, 2014,  Usiminas approved its interim accounts as of and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014, which state that revenues, post-tax profit from continuing operations and shareholders’ equity  amounted to USD 4,000 million, USD 118 million and USD 6,911 million, respectively.

9. INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES (continued)

10.    DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS

During the annual shareholders’ meeting held on May 7, 2014, the shareholders approved the consolidated  financial statements and unconsolidated annual accounts for the year ended December 31, 2013, and a distribution of dividends of USD 0.075 per share (USD 0.75 per ADS), or approximately USD 150.4 million.  The dividends were paid on May 16, 2014.

11.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

This note should be read in conjunction with Note 25 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Significant changes or events since the date of issue of such financial statements are as follows:

11.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS (continued)

(i) Tax claims and other contingencies

(a) Siderar.  AFIP – Income tax claim for fiscal years 1995 to 1999

The Argentine tax authority (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, or “AFIP”) has challenged the deduction from income of certain disbursements treated by Siderar as expenses necessary to maintain industrial installations, alleging that these expenses should have been treated as investments or improvements subject to capitalization. Accordingly, AFIP made income tax assessments against Siderar with respect to fiscal years 1995 through 1999.

As of September 30, 2014, Siderar’s aggregate exposure under these assessments (including principal, interest and fines) amounts to approximately USD 11.4 million. Siderar appealed each of these assessments before the National Tax Court, which, in successive rulings, reduced the amount of each of the assessments made by AFIP; the National Tax Court decisions were, however, further appealed by both Siderar and AFIP.

On May 15, 2014, Siderar was notified of a new National Tax Court ruling approving the AFIP assessment for fiscal year 1997 in an amount of approximately USD 0.8 million (including principal and interest); as the Tax Court did not grant a stay with respect to this decision, Siderar paid the full amount of the ruling, reserving its right to seek reimbursement of that payment.

Based on the recent National Tax Court decision, management believes that there could be an additional potential cash outflow in connection with this assessment and, as a result, Siderar recognized a provision which, as of September 30, 2014, amounts to USD 0.2 million.

(b) Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) – Lawsuit

In 2013, the Company was notified of a lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) and various entities affiliated with CSN against Ternium Investments S.à r.l., its subsidiary Siderar, and Confab Industrial S.A., a Brazilian subsidiary of Tenaris S.A. The entities named in the CSN lawsuit had acquired a participation in Usinas Siderúrgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. – USIMINAS (Usiminas) in January 2012. The CSN lawsuit alleges that, under applicable Brazilian laws and rules, the acquirers were required to launch a tag-along tender offer to all minority holders of Usiminas ordinary shares for a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share paid in such acquisition, or BRL 28.8, and seeks an order to compel the acquirers to launch an offer at that price plus interest. If so ordered, the offer would need to be made to 182,609,851 ordinary shares of Usiminas not belonging to Usiminas’ control group; Ternium Investments and Siderar’s respective shares in the offer would be 60.6% and 21.5%.

On September 23, 2013, the first instance court issued its decision finding in favor of the defendants and dismissing the CSN lawsuit. The claimants appealed the court decision, and the defendants filed their response to the appeal. It is estimated that the court of appeals will issue its judgment on the appeal within the next two years. Ternium believes that CSN's allegations are groundless and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian counsel and previous decisions by Brazil's securities regulator Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (including a February 2012 decision determining that the above mentioned acquisition did not trigger any tender offer requirement) and, more recently, the first instance court decision on this matter referred to above. Accordingly, the Company did not record any provision in connection with this lawsuit.

11.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS (continued)

(ii) Commitments

(a) Siderar entered into a contract with Tenaris, a related company of Ternium, for the supply of steam generated at the power generation facility that Tenaris owns in the compound of the Ramallo facility of Siderar. Under this contract, Tenaris has to provide 250 tn/hour of steam, and Siderar has the obligation to take or pay this volume. The amount of this outsourcing agreement totals USD 56.0 million and is due to terminate in 2018.

(b) Siderar, within the investment plan, has entered into several commitments to acquire new production equipment for a total consideration of USD 85.5 million.

(c) Siderar assumed fixed commitments for the purchase of raw materials for a total amount of   USD 127.9 million to be expended during the next 3 years.

(d) On December 20, 2000, Hylsa (Ternium Mexico’s predecessor) entered into a 25-year contract with Iberdrola Energia Monterrey, S.A. de C.V. (“Iberdrola”), a Mexican subsidiary of Iberdrola Energía, S.A., for the supply to four of Ternium Mexico’s plants of a contracted electrical demand of 111.2 MW. Iberdrola currently supplies approximately 22% of Ternium Mexico’s electricity needs under this contract. Although the contract was to be effective through 2027, on April 28, 2014, Ternium Mexico and Iberdrola entered into a new supply contract and terminated the previous one. In consideration of the termination of the previous contract, Iberdrola has granted Ternium Mexico a credit of USD 750 thousand per MW of the 111.2 MW contracted capacity, resulting over time in a total value of USD 100.0 million.  In addition, Iberdrola agreed to recognize to Ternium México USD 15 million through discounted rates. As a result of the above mentioned credit and discount, the company expects to incur in electricity rates comparable to those obtained in the past under the previous contract’s terms for a period that is estimated to be approximately 2 years. Following such period, Ternium Mexico’s rates under the contract will increase to market rates with a 2.5% discount; however, Ternium Mexico will be entitled to terminate the contract without penalty.

(e) Following the maturity of a previously existing railroad freight services agreement during 2013, in April 2014, Ternium México and Ferrocarril Mexicano, S. A. de C. V. (“Ferromex”) entered into a new railroad freight services agreement pursuant to which Ferromex will transport Ternium Mexico’s products through railroads operated by Ferromex for a term of five years through 2019. Subject to Ternium’s board approval, both Ternium Mexico and Ferromex would be required to make (within a period of 36 months) certain investments to improve the loading and unloading of gondolas. Ternium Mexico’s total investment commitment would amount to approximately USD 16.9 million, while Ferromex’s would amount to approximately USD 5.9 million. Under the agreement, Ternium Mexico has guaranteed to Ferromex a minimum average transport load of 200 metric tons per month in any six-month period.

In the event that the actual per-month average transport loads in any six-month period were lower than such guaranteed minimum, Ternium Mexico would be required to compensate Ferromex for the shortfall so that Ferromex receives a rate equivalent to a total transport load of 1,200 metric tons for such six-month period. However, any such compensation will not be payable if the lower transport loads were due to adverse market conditions, or to adverse operating conditions at Ternium Mexico’s facilities.

11.    CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS (continued)

(f) Techgen is a party to transportation capacity agreements with Kinder Morgan Gas Natural de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC and Kinder Morgan Tejas Pipeline LLC for a purchasing capacity of 150,000 MMBtu/Gas per day starting on June 1, 2016 and ending on May 31, 2036. As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding value of this commitment was approximately USD 285 million. Ternium has provided a guarantee in connection with these agreements of USD 136.7 million, corresponding to the 48% of the outstanding value as of September 30, 2014.

(g) Techgen is a party to a contract with GE Power Systems, Inc. and General Electric International Operations Company, Inc Mexico Branch for the purchase of power generation equipment and other services related to the equipment for an outstanding amount of approximately USD 238 million. These agreements required Techgen to issue stand-by letters of credit up to an amount of USD 47.5 million. Ternium has provided a guarantee in connection with these stand-by letters of credit issued by Techgen of an amount of USD 15.5 million and will continue to provide guarantees up to USD 22.8 million.

(h) Ternium issued a Corporate Guarantee covering 48% of the obligations of Techgen under a syndicated loan agreement between Techgen and several banks led by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, and Natixis, New York Branch acting as joint bookrunners. The loan agreement amounted to USD 800 million and the proceeds will be used by Techgen in the construction of the facility. As of September 30, 2014, disbursements under the loan agreement amounted USD 220 million, as a result the amount guaranteed by Ternium was approximately USD 106 million. When the loan is fully disbursed, the amounts guaranteed by Ternium will be approximately USD 384 million. The main covenants under the Corporate Guarantee are limitations on the sale of certain assets and compliance with financial ratios (e.g. leverage ratio).

(iii) Restrictions on the distribution of profits

Under Luxembourg law, at least 5% of net income per year calculated in accordance with Luxembourg law and regulations must be allocated to a reserve until such reserve equals 10% of the share capital. At December 31, 2013, this reserve reached the above-mentioned threshold.

As of December 31, 2013, Ternium may pay dividends up to USD 5.8 billion in accordance with Luxembourg law and regulations.

Shareholders' equity under Luxembourg law and regulations comprises the following captions:

(1)   As a result of the repurchase of its own shares from Usiminas on February 15, 2011, the Company created a non-distributable reserve of USD 150 million as required under Luxembourg law, which is included in Non distributable reserves.

12.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of September 30, 2014, Techint Holdings S.à r.l. (“Techint”) owned 62.02% of the Company’ s share  capital and Tenaris Investments S.à r.l. (“Tenaris”) held 11.46% of the Company’s share capital.  Each of Techint and Tenaris were controlled by San Faustin S.A., a Luxembourg company (“San Faustin”). Rocca & Partners Stichting Administratiekantoor Aandelen San Faustin (“RP STAK”), a Dutch private foundation (Stichting), held shares in San Faustin sufficient in number to control San Faustin.  No person or group of persons controls RP STAK.
