3 Basis for the CRSI Reinforcing Bar Forecast The CRSI Reinforcing Bar Forecast is derived from various data sources and presents CRSI s best understanding of current and forecasted market conditions. The starting point for the CRSI Reinforcing Bar Forecast is the prior years domestic consumption of reinforcing bars as reported by the Steel Manufacturers Association in the SMA-First River Long Products Market Report. Forecasted Portland cement growth rates, as reported by the Portland Cement Association, are then utilize d to project the reinforcing bar consumption through the forecast horizon. The Portland Cement Association growth rates are used in the CRSI Reinforcing Bar Forecast, as there is a long history of a high correlation between cement consumption and reinforcing bar consumption, see chart on page 8 of this report. The Portland Cement growth rate data is a weighted calculation performed by the Portland Cement Association and takes into account factors such as projected market conditions, intensity in various geographic and building use applications, among other factors. Values presented in this report are in U.S. tons. The following notes relate to the source and version of data in specific cha rts & tables presented in this report: Page 5 Descriptions of the five Dodge Market Regions from the Dodge Construction Outlook Report. Pages 6 & 7 - The domestic consumption of reinforcing bars, as reported by the Steel Manufacturers Association in the SMA-First River Long Products Market Report. The data presented represents the net domestic shipments, imports, and total domestic consumption of reinforcing bars for the years indicated. August 2018 Version

4 Page 8 - Correlation between (red) Portland Cement consumption and (blue) reinforcing bar consumption since 1945 to demonstrate the high correlation between the annual consumption of the two materials. Page 9 - A 5 year look back at the accuracy of the CRSI Reinforcing Bar Forecast. For each given year, the blue column on the chart (gray for current year) represents the actual domestic consumption of reinforcing bars (current forecast for current year in gray), and the preceding 5 green columns represent the forecasted reinforcing bar consumption from the November forecast for the preceding 1 to 5 years for each given year. Page 10 - USA total Reinforcing Bar Forecast. Derived from the actual domestic reinforc ing bar consumption for 2014 through 2017 as reported by the Steel Manufacturers Association in the SMA-First River Long Products Market Report, and the forecasted Portland Cement growth rates, as reported by the Portland Cement Association for the period through 2023 taken from the August 2018 PCA Summer Forecast, and the forecasted contract value increase, as reported by Dodge Data & Analytics in the November 2017 version of the 2018 Dodge Construction Outlook Report. Pages 11 to 15 - Reinforcing Bar Forecasts for each of the five Dodge market regions. Derived from the calculated reinforcing bar consumption in each Dodge market region for through 2017 as calculated from the Portland Cement Association in the April 2018 version of the CRSI/PCA Trend Analysis Report, and the forecasted Total Construction growth rate, as reported by Dodge Data & Analytics in the November 2017 version of the 2018 Dodge Construction Outlook Report. Pages 16 to 20 - Reinforcing Bar Forecasts for the three CRSI target markets, Office, Healthcare, and Multi Family, plus the public markets of Highways & Streets, and Sewer & Water Systems. Derived from the calculated reinforcing bar consumption in each of the CRSI target markets for 2014 through 2017 as calculated from the Portland Cement Association in the April 2018 version of the CRSI/PCA Trend Analysis Report, and the forecasted growth rate in each respective market segment, as reported by the Portland Cement Association for the period 2018 through 2023 taken from the August 2018 PCA Summer Forecast, and the forecasted floor area increase (contract value for public markets), as reported by Dodge Data & Analytics in the November 2017 version of the 2018 Dodge Construction Outlook Report.
