AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Commercial Metals (CMC)

CMC Q4 net earnings rise to $151.8 million; fiscal 2025 falls on $274 million charge

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Commercial Metals Company reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 net earnings of $151.8 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, up from $103.9 million a year earlier, on net sales of $2.1 billion. For the full fiscal year, net earnings fell to $84.7 million from $485.5 million, reflecting an after-tax litigation charge of approximately $274 million tied to the Pacific Steel Group case, so shareholders face a mixed picture of a stronger quarter and a much weaker year.

Key points

  • Q4 fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings were $155.0 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, versus $97.4 million, or $0.84, a year earlier
  • Fiscal 2025 net earnings were $84.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, on net sales of $7.8 billion, versus $485.5 million, or $4.14, on $7.9 billion in fiscal 2024
  • The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share, payable November 13, 2025, to holders of record on October 30, 2025
  • Management expects first-quarter fiscal 2026 consolidated results to be generally consistent with the fourth quarter; the company also recast historical non-GAAP measures under a revised methodology
