Management of the Company continually evaluates both the idled facility and the coke inventory for impairment. Management periodically evaluates the potential degradation of the coke inventory and has determined that it continues to be suitable as a blast furnace input or, alternatively, for sale to other blast furnace facilities. As noted in note 2, the plants located in the United States of America ceased operations in October 2023. The existing inventories in these plants amounted to $ 3,777,819.00 in the short term and $ 1,157,556.00 in the long term as of December 31, 2025. At the end of the year, the coke inventories and an important part of the other inventories were evaluated by an expert in the field.</p> <table cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Employees Profit Sharing is computed in similar terms to the taxable profit for income tax, excluding mainly the employee’s profit sharing paid this year and the amortization of tax losses and decreasing the non-deductible part of the social security for purposes of income tax. For the years 2025 and 2024, EPS amounted to $1,234 and $2,713, respectively. EPS is recorded in the results of operations for the year in which it is incurred.</span></td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 56.7pt; text-align: justify"><b><i> </i></b></p> <table cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">e.</span></td> <td style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"><b><i>Governmental defined contribution plans </i></b>- Under Mexican legislation, the Company must make payments equivalent to 2% of its workers’ daily integrated salary (ceiling) to a defined contribution plan that is part of the retirement savings system.

In this same month, DTSC issued an enforcement order of imminent and substantial endangerment determination, which alleges that certain soil piles, soil management and metal recovery operations may cause an imminent and substantial danger to human health and the environment; consequently, DTSC sanctioned PS for violating Hazardous Waste Control Laws in the State of California and imposed the obligation to remedy the site.

On June 24, 2019, the preliminary dumping tariff of 3.65% was published for the period from November 1, 2016, to October 31, 2017, which was imposed on rebar exports to the United States of America. On February 25, 2020, Customs and Border Protection issued a assessment to the Company for USD $1.4 million, applying a rate of 69.07%, different from the 3.65% rate, based on an error in the dollar sales value reported in the database submitted by Greenberg Trauring during the administrative review conducted by the DOC.

On June 1, 2022, it was ratified as the final result. On June 22, 2022, the Company decided to challenge this result before the Court of International Trade (CIT). On April 25, 2024, the Court of International Trade remanded the final results to Commerce to (1) reopen the administrative review file to accept the Company’s submission of information rejected by the DOC on October 18, 2021, on the grounds that it was submitted untimely and to request additional information as needed, and (2) conduct a new analysis to determine whether the application of the 66.7% rate is justified. In the final remand resolution published on November 21, 2024, as a result of the reopening, the DOC calculated a new dumping margin for the Company at a final and definitive rate of 0.00%. Consequently, the Company is released from its duties on exports for that period.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">By order of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), the Company did not participate in the review for the period from November 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022.
