Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. This content is Public. 3 MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT We closed 3Q24 confident that we are on the right track in the relentless pursuit of excellence in our business, through increased competitiveness and efficiency in our day-to-day operations and processes, to face global and steel industry challenges. A clear example of this pursuit is our safety indicators, which have surpassed our best historical values every quarter. In 3Q24, our accident frequency rate was 0.58, down from 0.69 in the same period last year, demonstrating a continuous decline in the frequency of workplace injuries or accidents. As for financial and operating results, 3Q24 stood out due to optimization and better utilization of our assets, especially in Brazil, leading to better performance and improved profitability in the period. As a result, we reached Adjusted EBITDA of R$3.0 billion in 3Q24, up 14.9% over 2Q24. We highlight the performance of the Brazil BD, which closed 3Q24 with the best Adjusted EBITDA in the last eight quarters. This result reflects the progress of cost-cutting initiatives and better asset utilization. In addition, higher shipment volumes, driven by exports, and price increases in the domestic market had a positive impact on the quarter. Despite the recovery in the Brazil BD’s profitability, the Brazilian steel market continues to be challenged by high penetration of imported steel. Although a trade defense mechanism called tariff-rate quota was implemented four months ago, the industry did not observe substantial improvements. On October 18, new NCMs were approved with a 25% import tariff, without a tariff-rate quota system. Thus, new measures are now in place for approximately 31% of the volume sold by Gerdau in Brazil. We understand that the new measure is a positive sign. However, through the Brazil Steel Institute (IABR, in Portuguese), we are actively participating in discussions with the Brazilian government to encourage new measures that bring more balance to the industry. In the North America BD, the result was impacted by a decline in steel prices, due to lower demand and higher pressure from imports, combined with a higher share of rebars in the product shipment mix. We understand that this is a more challenging time for the BD because of the economic volatility caused by the U.S. presidential election. However, we believe in the market fundamentals for the coming years. In addition, our backlog of orders remains stable at approximately 50-60 days. The Special Steel BD closed 3Q24 with a result relatively stable compared to the previous quarter. Lower automobile production and sales in the United States led to a reduction in demand and lower special steel prices in the country. On the other hand, in Brazil, we recorded the best quarter since 2022, driven by an improved operational performance, with growth in shipment volume and significant gains in efficiency and competitiveness. In the South America BD, the 3Q24 result also remained in line with 2Q24. Higher shipment volumes in Peru offset a decline in shipments in Argentina, where the steel industry continues to face major challenges in demand. Reinforcing our commitment to creating value for shareholders, we have approved the payment of dividends in the amount of R$0.30 per share, equivalent to R$619.4 million. We are also consistently executing the share buyback program, approved on July 31, 2024. By the end of October, we had repurchased 39.6 million shares, corresponding to approximately 2% of the Company’s market cap, returning R$729.4 million to our shareholders. Also in October, Moody’s Ratings and S&P Ratings upgraded Gerdau S.A.’s global scale rating to Baa2 and BBB, respectively, both with a stable outlook. We are very pleased to share that we won the Steelie Awards, for the third consecutive year. This is the main global award for the steel industry, promoted by the World Steel Association, in the "Excellence in Sustainability" category. We thank once again our employees, clients, suppliers, partners, shareholders, and other stakeholders for their trust and their support as we build an even more sustainable future for all. THE MANAGEMENT “The results obtained in the third quarter of 2024 already reflect the efforts to adjust our operations in Brazil in pursuit of increased competitiveness and higher operational efficiency, as well as strong discipline in cost management across all our business divisions.” Rafael Japur, Gerdau’s CFO and IRO.

Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. This content is Public. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OPERATING PERFORMANCE PRODUCTION & SHIPMENTS CONSOLIDATED 3Q24 2Q24 ∆ 3Q23 ∆ 9M24 9M23 ∆ Volumes (1,000 tonnes) Crude steel production 2,978 2,916 2.1% 2,802 6.3% 8,984 8,868 1.3% Shipments of steel 2,829 2,712 4.3% 2,755 2.7% 8,266 8,667 -4.6% The oversupply of steel in China continues to be the main concern in the global steel market. According to the World Steel Association, Chinese steel production reached 768.5 Mt in the first nine months of 2024, which, combined with a significant decline in demand in the country, led to excessively high exports and weaker global prices compared to historical levels. The association also reduced the projection for global steel demand for 2024, as the global manufacturing industry continues to face challenges, including a decline in purchasing power and massive imports of Chinese manufactured goods. In Brazil, despite growing confidence in the steel industry and higher apparent consumption, which, according to the Brazil Steel Institute (IABR, in Portuguese), reached the highest level since its peak in 2021, the high penetration of imports continues to impact growth in demand for local steel producers. Despite the implementation of the quota system a few months ago, the penetration rate reached 19.2% in 3Q24, the highest level in 2024. The steel industry continues to monitor government measures and actively participate in discussions with the Brazilian government for the potential implementation of additional trade defense measures, seeking balance and fair competition. In order to mitigate this external pressure, Gerdau continues to improve its portfolio of products and services to meet its clients’ needs and invest in its sales efforts to stand out from imported products. In 3Q24, the Company’s crude steel production was higher than in 2Q24 and 3Q23 (2.1% and 6.3%, respectively), driven by higher steel shipment volumes, especially due to higher exports in the Brazil BD fueled by the profitability and exchange rate environment. In the same context, steel shipments grew compared to both 2Q24 and 3Q23, totaling 2.8 million tonnes in 3Q24. STEEL SHIPMENTS BY BD

Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. This content is Public. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GROSS PROFIT Net Sales totaled R$17.4 billion in 3Q24, up 4.6% over 2Q24. On the one hand, sales prices were lower in our foreign operations. On the other hand, the Brazilian real depreciated against the U.S. dollar (-6.4%), contributing to the translation of foreign results, in addition to higher shipment volumes. Compared to 3Q23, Net Sales rose 1.8%, also due to the above-mentioned factors. Cost of Goods Sold totaled R$14.8 billion in 3Q24, up 2.6% over 2Q24 and 3.7% over 3Q23, impacted by the exchange variation in the period. This effect offset the higher dilution of fixed costs stemming from increased steel production, gains related to the adjustment of production capacity in the Brazil BD and improved competitiveness and productivity in the Special Steel BD. As a result, Gross Profit was R$2.6 billion in 3Q24, reflecting increased Net Sales in the period. Compared to 3Q23, Gross Profit fell 7.7%, mainly due to higher Cost of Goods Sold because of the exchange variation (13.6% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar). SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) Expenses were R$549 million in 3Q24, up 2.8% over 2Q24 and 1.9% over 3Q23, reflecting the effect of exchange variation, partially offset by the Business Divisions’ initiatives to maintain expenses at healthy levels. As a percentage of Net Sales, SG&A Expenses remained flat in both comparison periods.

(b) Amounts composed of the “Credit recovery / provisions” line in Note 22 to the Company’s Financial Statements. Gerdau closed 3Q24 with Adjusted EBITDA of R$3.0 billion and an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 17.4%, increasing when comparing to 2Q24 mainly because of improved operating results in the Brazil BD, including a reduction in costs associated with initiatives to adjust production capacity, higher shipment volumes, and marginally better prices in the domestic market. In addition, the effect of exchange variation partially offset the impacts of lower volumes and prices in foreign operations. Compared to 3Q23, Adjusted EBITDA declined 10.0%, driven by current price pressures in the global market, partially offset by cost-cutting initiatives and volume growth.

On September 30, 2024, Gross Debt totaled R$12.5 billion, in line with the previous quarter and 9.2% higher than in 3Q23, due to the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (-8.8%). The cash position at quarter-end was R$8.8 billion, resulting from the credit of approximately R$1.8 billion to the Company’s account, due to the receipt of the judicial deposit related to the case involving the exclusion of ICMS tax from the PIS and COFINS tax base. The reduction in Net Debt, influenced by the increase in cash in 3Q24, reached R$3.7 billion in the quarter, leading to a Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.32x. At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s Global Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), totaling US$875 million (equivalent to R$4.8 billion), was fully available. The Company maintains a long debt maturity profile, with 88% of its liabilities coming due in the long term, and a well-distributed schedule for the coming years. At quarter-end, the average payment term was 7 years, and the weighted average nominal cost of debt was 5.4% per annum for debt denominated in U.S. dollars and 106.6% of the CDI rate per annum for debt denominated in Brazilian reais. The maintenance of a healthy leverage level reinforces the Company’s capacity to execute the necessary investment commitments for the development of business.

Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. This content is Public. 10 INVESTMENTS (CAPEX) In 3Q24, CAPEX totaled around R$1.5 billion, of which R$589 million was allocated to sustain and R$920 million was directed to the competitiveness of the Business Divisions, totaling approximately R$3.8 billion in Investments for the first nine months. The Company remains focused on advancing the main projects related to the CAPEX plan announced for the current year, totaling R$6.0 billion. Gerdau reiterates its strategy of increasing the competitiveness of its operations, especially the Brazil and North America BDs, which already account for approximately 54% of CAPEX invested in 2024. WORKING CAPITAL & CASH CONVERSION CYCLE At the end of 3Q24, Working Capital was R$15.9 billion, down 3.4% from 2Q24, benefiting from a substantial decline in inventories, especially in the North America BD, due to scheduled maintenance shutdowns, in addition to the effect of exchange variation. The Cash Conversion Cycle (Working Capital divided by Net Sales in the quarter) decreased from 89 to 83 days, driven by a 4.6% increase in Net Sales from 2Q24 to 3Q24. Detailed information on Working Capital accounts is presented in Notes 5, 6, and 11 to the Financial Statements. FREE CASH FLOW Free Cash Flow was positive R$3.0 billion in 3Q24, the best result since 4Q21, mainly driven by a cash effect of around R$1.8 billion, resulting from the withdrawal of the judicial deposit from the case relating to the exclusion of ICMS tax from the PIS and COFINS tax base.

Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. 16 16 This content is Public. BRAZIL BD PRODUCTION & SHIPMENTS ∙ Crude steel production and shipment volume grew in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24 and 3Q23, driven by higher exports, which contributed to an increase in capacity utilization in the quarter; ∙ In the domestic market, shipment volume rose 2.3% and 1.9% over 2Q24 and 3Q23, respectively, driven by increased demand for long steel in the main markets where Gerdau operates, led by shipments to the civil construction segment. ∙ Historically, imported steel volumes accounted for around 10% of apparent consumption; however, the share of imported steel in Brazil was 18.6% in the first nine months of 2024 and, as mentioned earlier, continued to have a significant impact on local steel consumption, despite the trade defense mechanism called tariff-rate quota implemented in June 2024 for some product lines. The Brazil BD remains committed to enhancing its solutions, services, and broad portfolio to meet clients’ demands and maintain its market share in the face of steel imports; and ∙ In 3Q24, 59,000 tonnes of iron ore were sold to third parties, and 1,070,000 tonnes were consumed internally. OPERATING RESULT 1 – Includes iron ore sales. 2 – Non-accounting measure reconciled with information presented in Note 22 to the Company’s Financial Statements, as established by CVM Resolution 156, of June 23, 2022. ∙ In 3Q24, Net Sales grew 9.7% over 2Q24, due to an increase in shipment volume. Net sales per tonne remained flat in the quarter, as a higher share of exports (54.0% growth in export volume) offset higher net sales per tonne in the domestic market (+4.2%). Compared to 3Q23, Net Sales rose 1.6%, fueled by increased shipments in 3Q24, while net sales per tonne remained stable in both the domestic and the export markets; ∙ In 3Q24, the cost of goods sold per tonne fell 8.0% and 6.1% from 2Q24 and 3Q23, respectively, reaching the lowest level since 4Q21. This result was driven by the progress of initiatives to reduce controllable costs and expenses in the Brazil BD, which in 3Q24 captured around 50% of the savings projected for the second half of 2024, focusing on increasing operational leverage at the production units and optimizing costs related to maintenance and specific materials; and BRAZIL BD 3Q24 2Q24 ∆ 3Q23 ∆ 9M24 9M23 ∆ Volumes (1,000 tonnes) Production of crude steel 1,442 1,279 12.7% 1,286 12.1% 4,087 3,985 2.6% Shipments of steel 1,290 1,185 8.9% 1,260 2.4% 3,775 3,882 -2.7% Domestic Market 1,059 1,035 2.3% 1,039 1.9% 3,138 3,191 -1.7% Exports 232 150 54.0% 221 4.8% 638 691 -7.7% Shipments of long steel 893 779 14.6% 816 9.4% 2,524 2,564 -1.5% Domestic Market 686 653 5.0% 637 7.6% 1,960 1,957 0.1% Exports 207 126 64.4% 179 15.8% 564 607 -7.0% Shipments of flat steel 397 406 -2.2% 444 -10.5% 1,251 1,318 -5.1% Domestic Market 373 382 -2.4% 402 -7.2% 1,178 1,234 -4.5% Exports 24 24 0.3% 42 -41.8% 73 84 -12.9% BRAZIL BD 3Q24 2Q24 ∆ 3Q23 ∆ 9M24 9M23 ∆ Results (R$ million) Net Sales¹ 6,738 6,142 9.7% 6,635 1.6% 19,315 20,796 -7.1% Domestic Market 5,939 5,604 6.0% 5,864 1.3% 17,191 18,294 -6.0% Exports 800 538 48.7% 771 3.7% 2,124 2,502 -15.1% Cost of Goods Sold (5,757) (5,746) 0.2% (5,985) -3.8% (17,489) (18,446) -5.2% Gross profit 981 396 148.0% 650 50.9% 1,826 2,350 -22.3% Gross margin (%) 14.6% 6.4% 8.1 p,p 9.8% 4.8 p,p 9.5% 11.3% -1.8 p,p Adjusted EBITDA² 1,140 534 113.7% 868 31.4% 2,269 2,924 -22.4% Adjusted EBITDA Margin² (%) 16.9% 8.7% 8.2 p,p 13.1% 3.8 p,p 11.7% 14.1% -2.3 p,p

NORTH AMERICA BD PRODUCTION & SHIPMENTS ∙ Steel production fell in 3Q24 due to scheduled maintenance shutdowns in some plants in North America, which reduced capacity utilization by 5 p.p. compared to 2Q24. However, this scenario contributed to improving the BD’s working capital; and ∙ In 3Q24, shipment volume declined slightly compared to 2Q24, mainly due to lower demand for steel as a result of volatility caused by the U.S. presidential election, pressure from steel imports, and client inventory levels. Compared to 3Q23, shipment volume was 3.5% higher, demonstrating the healthy demand for steel in the North American market. OPERATING RESULT 2 – Non-accounting measure reconciled with information presented in Note 22 to the Company’s Financial Statements, as established by CVM Resolution 156, of June 23, 2022. ∙ The average dollar price of the main product lines fell in 3Q24 due to a series of factors, including lower prices, product mix (increased share of rebars in our portfolio), reduced demand for steel, and increased pressure from imports. These factors reduced net sales per tonne in U.S. dollars by US$50/t compared to 2Q24 and US$150/t compared to 3Q23. In Brazilian reais, Net Sales increased in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24 and 3Q23 due to the effect of exchange variation; ∙ In 3Q24, the Cost of Goods Sold in Brazilian reais was also affected by exchange variation. Although schedule maintenance shutdowns impacted the BD’s fixed cost, the inventory valuation adjustments maintained the cost of goods sold per tonne in line with 2Q24. Compared to 3Q23, the cost of goods sold per tonne in U.S. dollars declined 3.5% in 3Q24, reflecting a decrease in the price of the main raw materials, such as scrap and alloys; and ∙ Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin fell 3.9 p.p. in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24, reflecting a decline in operating results, as explained earlier. However, the Company’s strategy of adjusting production depending on the different market dynamics and cost control efforts maintained the BD’s results at healthy levels. Compared to 3Q23, Adjusted EBITDA dropped 25.7%, mainly due to lower prices.

Quarterly Results – 3Q24 Gerdau S.A. 18 18 This content is Public. SPECIAL STEEL BD PRODUCTION & SHIPMENTS ∙ In 3Q24, steel production was slightly lower than in 2Q24 due to scheduled maintenance shutdowns at the Fort Smith and Monroe plants, in the United States. Compared to 3Q23, production increased 28.8%, benefiting from the gradual resumption of the auto industry, especially in Brazil; ∙ Shipment volume in 3Q24 was boosted by growth in steel shipments in Brazil, up 12.0% and 26.2% over 2Q24 and 3Q23, respectively. According to ANFAVEA (National Association of Vehicle Manufacturers), vehicle production increased 19.0% in 3Q24 compared to the same period last year, mainly driven by the production of trucks and light vehicles, which recorded the best quarter in the last five years; and ∙ In the United States, steel shipment volume declined 6.0% from 2Q24 to 3Q24, impacted by lower demand from the auto industry, which continues to be affected by consumers’ lower purchasing power and higher interest rates. Compared to 3Q23, shipment volume remained stable in 3Q24. OPERATING RESULT 2 – Non-accounting measure reconciled with information presented in Note 22 to the Company’s Financial Statements, as established by CVM Resolution 156, of June 23, 2022. ∙ Net Sales increased in 3Q24 compared to both 2Q24 and 3Q23, due to the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (-6.4%) on the U.S. result. In U.S. dollars, net sales per tonne declined approximately 3.0% from the previous quarter. In Brazil, net sales per tonne in Brazilian reais remained stable. Compared to 3Q23, the BD’s net sales per tonne fell 4.8% because of the more challenging special steel price environment in 2024; ∙ The increase in the Cost of Goods Sold in 3Q24 was due to scheduled maintenance shutdowns and lower dilution of fixed costs in the U.S., offsetting the decline in the Cost of Goods Sold in Brazil. In Brazil, the cost of goods sold per tonne declined 8.9% from 2Q24 and 19.0% from 3Q23. This result reflects the consolidation of initiatives aimed to improve performance and optimize structures and processes, enhancing competitiveness and profitability in the operations in Brazil; and ∙ Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin was slightly lower compared to 2Q24, reflecting a decline in operating results in the United States. Compared to 3Q23, both indicators grew mainly as a result of profitability gains from initiatives to improve the BD’s industrial performance and reduce costs, as explained earlier.

SOUTH AMERICA BD PRODUCTION & SHIPMENTS 1- Includes resale of products imported from the Brazil BD. ∙ In 3Q24, production declined compared to 2Q24 and 3Q23, reflecting lower demand for steel, especially in Argentina, which continued to be impacted by a downturn in the economic activity of industries that boost demand for steel, such as construction and industry; and ∙ Steel shipments grew 6.0% over 2Q24, driven by Peru operation, where steel shipments increased 9.1% due to progress in the execution of government construction projects. Compared to 3Q23, steel shipments declined 9.0% also due to lower domestic demand for steel in Argentina. OPERATING RESULT 2 – Non-accounting measure reconciled with information presented in Note 22 to the Company’s Financial Statements, as established by CVM Resolution 156, of June 23, 2022. ∙ In 3Q24, Net Sales grew 3.4% over 2Q24, due to the effect of exchange variation. Compared to 3Q23, Net Sales declined 7.3%, reflecting a reduction in shipment volume and steel prices; and ∙ Adjusted EBITDA was 1.4% higher than in 2Q24, influenced by a slight improvement in operating results, as explained earlier. Compared to 3Q23, Adjusted EBITDA fell 54.2% due to the equity income from the joint ventures in Colombia and the Dominican Republic recognized in that period4 , in addition to the effect of exchange variation. 4 The divestment of equity interest of the joint ventures Diaco S.A. and Gerdau Metaldom Corp. was completed in the 1Q24.
