- EBITDA of USD330.1 million in the second quarter 2014, 21% lower than EBITDA in the first quarter 2014 mainly as a result of lower EBITDA per ton due to higher steel operating cost per ton(3), partially offset by higher steel revenue per ton.
- Earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS)(4) of USD0.66 in the second quarter 2014, a decrease of USD0.10 per ADS compared to the first quarter 2014 mainly due to lower operating income, partially offset by lower income tax expense.
- Capital expenditures of USD136.4 million in the second quarter 2014, up from USD103.6 million in the first quarter 2014.
- Net debt position of USD2.0 billion at the end of June 2014, up from USD1.6 billion at the end of March 2014. Of note in the second quarter 2014 were USD180.9 million dividend payments and an increase of USD135.5 million in working capital.
Ternium's operating income in the second quarter 2014 was USD231.3 million, USD87.6 million lower than in the first quarter 2014 mainly as a result of lower operating margin. Operating margin decreased sequentially as a result of USD57 higher steel operating cost per ton, partially offset by USD15 higher steel revenue per ton. Operating cost per ton increased mainly due to higher raw material and purchased slabs costs and higher maintenance expenses, principally related to planned stoppages performed during the second quarter 2014 at Ternium's Mexican facilities. Operating cost per ton was higher in Siderar, Ternium's Argentine subsidiary, as a result of an increase in costs, in Argentine Peso terms, that was not mitigated by the devaluation of the local currency against the US Dollar, as the Argentine Peso devalued only 2% against the US Dollar in the second quarter 2014. Steel revenue per ton increased 2% in Mexico and 1% in the Southern Region.
Compared to the second quarter 2013, the company's operating income in the second quarter 2014 decreased by USD44.7 million, mainly as a result of lower operating margin, partially offset by higher shipments. Operating margin decreased principally due to 6% lower revenue per ton in the Southern Region. Shipments increased by 144,000 tons year-over-year, mainly as a result of a 220,000 ton increase in Mexico, partially offset by a combined 76,000 ton decrease in the Southern Region and Other Markets.
Net income in the second quarter 2014 was USD180.3 million, a decrease of USD7.9 million compared to net income in the first quarter 2014 mainly due to the above-mentioned lower operating income, partially offset by lower income tax expense. Income tax expense in the second quarter 2014 included a net gain related to a non-cash reduction of deferred tax liabilities at one of Ternium's subsidiaries, partially offset by higher taxes on dividends in connection to Siderar dividend payment in April 2014. Income tax expense in the first quarter 2014 included a net non-recurrent loss mainly related to the settlement of a claim from the Mexican tax authorities related to fiscal year 2006 and to changes in Mexican tax regulations in connection with new mining laws.
Relative to the prior-year period, net income in the second quarter 2014 increased by USD45.9 million, mainly due to the above mentioned lower income tax expense, better results from Usiminas and lower net financial expenses, partially offset by lower operating income.

- Earnings per ADS(6) of USD1.42 in the first half 2014, USD0.24 higher than in the first half 2013.
- Capital expenditures of USD240.0 million in the first half 2014, down from USD507.7 million in the first half 2013.
Operating income in the first half 2014 was USD550.3 million, compared to operating income of USD547.8 million in the first half 2013 as a result of a 238,000 ton increase in steel shipments offset by a decrease in iron ore shipments to third parties. Steel operating margin was relatively stable year-over-year, as a result of USD21 lower revenue per ton offset by USD19 lower operating cost per ton. Steel revenue per ton decreased 7% in the Southern Region and was steady in Mexico. The decrease in steel operating cost per ton was mainly due to lower raw material costs partially offset by higher purchased slabs and energy costs. Steel shipments increased 386,000 tons in Mexico, and decreased a combined 148,000 tons in the Southern Region and Other Markets.
Net income in the first half 2014 was USD368.5 million, USD82.7 million higher than net income in the first half 2013 mainly as a result of better results from Usiminas, lower net financial expenses and lower income tax expenses mainly as a result of the above mentioned factors.
Outlook
During the second quarter 2014, Ternium sustained its strong first quarter shipment activity in Mexico. Shipments in the country increased 386,000 tons, or 16%, in the first half of 2014 over the first half of 2013. The company expects these healthy shipment levels to continue in the third quarter 2014. In addition, North American steel prices remained attractive during the second quarter 2014. An active manufacturing sector in the region continues to generate demand for steel products and steel inventories remain at reasonable levels. As a result, Ternium expects a slight increase in revenue per ton in Mexico in the third quarter 2014 compared to the second quarter 2014.
The company's shipments in the Southern Region did not recover as anticipated during the second quarter 2014 after the seasonally lower first quarter of the year. Ternium expects shipments in this region to remain relatively stable in the third quarter 2014, with average prices not changing significantly.
Ternium anticipates a slightly higher operating income in the third quarter 2014 compared to the second quarter 2014, with stable shipments and an increase in operating margin as a result of higher revenue per ton partially offset by higher cost per ton.
