New projects, including a plate mill in Kentucky and a sheet mill in West Virginia, are causing a significant drag on gross margins. This creates pressure to optimize project execution, control costs, and accelerate the path to profitability for these new facilities.
Filing excerpt
The decrease in gross margins in the steel mills segment was primarily due to an increase in pre-operating and start-up costs of approximately $107 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025.
