Nucor Corporation – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In the first quarter of 2019, Nucor adopted new guidance related to lease accounting using the modified retrospective approach, which permits companies to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjusting the comparative periods prior to adoption. The new lease guidance requires all lessees to recognize on the balance sheet right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease arrangements with terms greater than 12 months, including operating leases. Expenses are recognized in the statement of earnings in a manner similar to previous accounting guidance.

In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new lease standard, which, among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements, and the short-term lease exemption policy such that the new lease guidance was applied to leases greater than one year in duration. The adoption of the new lease standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it resulted in an increase of 0.5% and 1.2% to our total assets and total liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2019. The new lease standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on our cash flows. See Note 4 for further information.

In the first quarter of 2019, we also adopted new accounting guidance related to tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. As a result of the adoption of the new guidance, we elected to reclassify stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Nucor performed an impairment assessment of its proved producing natural gas well assets in September 2018. One of the main assumptions that most significantly affects the undiscounted cash flows determination is management’s estimate of future pricing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. The pricing used in the impairment assessment was developed by management based on projected natural gas market supply and demand dynamics, in conjunction with a review of projections by market analysts. Management also makes key estimates on the expected reserve levels and on the expected drilling production costs. The impairment assessment was performed on each of Nucor’s three groups (“fields”) of wells, with each field defined by common geographic location.

As a result of the impairment assessment, Nucor recorded an impairment charge of $110.0 million relating to two fields of wells in the third quarter of 2018. The post-impairment combined carrying value of these two fields was $68.6 million at June 29, 2019 ($71.0 million at December 31, 2018). The third field was not impaired and had a carrying value of $49.5 million at June 29, 2019 ($51.8 million at December 31, 2018). Changes in the natural gas industry or a prolonged low price environment beyond what had already been assumed in the assessment could cause management to revise the natural gas and natural gas liquids price assumptions, the estimated reserves or the estimated drilling production costs. Unfavorable revisions to these assumptions or estimates could possibly result in an impairment of some or all of the fields of proved well assets.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion and we consider these options in determining the lease term used to establish our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or a purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

We determine that a contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In evaluating whether we have the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether or not we have the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.    

Certain of our lease agreements include payments that adjust periodically for consumption of goods provided by the right-of-use asset in excess of contractually determined minimum amounts and for inflation. These variable lease payments are not significant. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Total lease costs included in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the second quarter of 2019 were $11.1 million. Finance lease costs were $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, with $2.4 million being included in cost of products sold related to amortization of leased assets and $2.8 million being included in interest expense, net related to interest on lease liabilities. Operating lease costs were $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, with $5.3 million being included in cost of products sold related to amortization of leased assets and $0.6 million being included in marketing, administrative and other expenses of leased assets.

Total lease costs included in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the first six months of 2019 were $22.1 million. Finance lease costs were $10.4 million in the first six months of 2019, with $4.7 million being included in cost of products sold related to amortization of leased assets and $5.7 million being included in interest expense, net related to interest on lease liabilities. Operating lease costs were $11.7 million in the first six months of 2019, with $11.1 million being included in cost of products sold related to amortization of leased assets and $0.6 million being included in marketing, administrative and other expenses of leased assets.

Table of Contents

The reason for the substantial weighted-average discount rate – finance leases, of 31.6%, is due to Nucor’s past accounting for the respective finance leases following the former accounting guidance for capital leases. Pursuant to the former lease accounting guidance, the recognition of a capital lease asset and associated capital lease liability could not exceed the fair market value of the leased asset at the lease commencement. Accordingly, the incremental borrowing rate was adjusted upward so that the present value of the minimum lease payments would equal the fair value of the asset.

Maturities of lease liabilities by fiscal year for our leases are as follows as of June 29, 2019 (in thousands):

Prior Period Disclosures - As a result of adopting the new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach, the Company is required to present future minimum lease commitments for capital leases and operating leases having initial or noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and accounted for under previous lease guidance.

Total future minimum lease payments related to capital leases at December 31, 2018 were $154.8 million, with the timing of those payments estimated at that date to be made as follows: $17.7 million in 2019; a total of $33.6 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021; a total of $30.0 million to be paid between 2022 and 2023; and $73.4 million to be paid thereafter.

Total future minimum lease payments related to operating leases having initial or noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2018 were $128.6 million, with the timing of those payments estimated at that date to be made as follows: $31.8 million in 2019; a total of $45.0 million to be paid between 2020 and 2021; a total of $28.4 million to be paid between 2022 and 2023; and $23.5 million to be paid thereafter.

The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases was $89.4 million as of December 31, 2018, which primarily consisted of buildings and improvements or machinery and equipment.

Nucor completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2018 and concluded that as of such time there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.

Table of Contents

The assessment performed in 2018 used forward-looking projections and included significant expected improvements in the future cash flows of one of the Company’s reporting units, Rebar Fabrication. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 8% in the most recent assessment. The operating results of this reporting unit declined significantly and remained depressed throughout 2018. Nucor expects the operating results of this reporting unit to improve when the price of steel in relation to the reporting unit’s backlog pricing stabilizes. If our assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances changes, or the actual performance of this reporting unit falls short of expected results, noncash impairment charges may be required. Total goodwill associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit was $356.1 million as of June 29, 2019 ($353.0 million as of December 31, 2018). An impairment of goodwill may also lead us to record an impairment of other intangible assets. Total finite-lived intangible assets associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit were $72.0 million as of June 29, 2019 ($76.7 million as of December 31, 2018). There have been no triggering events requiring an interim assessment for impairment since the most recent annual goodwill impairment testing date.

During the first six months of 2019, the operating results and updated future projections of one of the Company’s reporting units, Grating, decreased from the assumptions used in our most recent impairment assessment. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 19% in that assessment. The decline in operating results was determined not to be indicative of a long-term decline representing a triggering event given the amount the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount in the most recent assessment. As of June 29, 2019, total goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets associated with the Grating reporting unit were $36.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Management is currently assessing the Grating reporting unit’s business strategy and structure and will continue to monitor the reporting unit for potential triggering events that would require an interim assessment for impairment.

Intangible assets with estimated useful lives of five to 22 years are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis and were comprised of the following as of June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Intangible asset amortization expense in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $21.2 million and $22.1 million, respectively, and was $42.7 million and $44.6 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Annual amortization expense is estimated to be $87.1 million in 2019; $84.7 million in 2020; $83.5 million in 2021; $81.2 million in 2022; and $80.0 million in 2023.

NUMIT

Nucor owns a 50% economic and voting interest in NuMit LLC (“NuMit”). NuMit owns 100% of the equity interest in Steel Technologies LLC, an operator of 26 sheet processing facilities located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Nucor accounts for the investment in NuMit (on a one-month lag basis) under the equity method, as control and risk of loss are shared equally between the members. Nucor’s investment in NuMit was $320.3 million at June 29, 2019 ($337.2 million at December 31, 2018). Nucor received distributions of $27.4 million and $27.5 million from NuMit during the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

DUFERDOFIN NUCOR

Nucor owns a 50% economic and voting interest in Duferdofin Nucor S.r.l. (“Duferdofin Nucor”), an Italian steel manufacturer, and accounts for the investment (on a one-month lag basis) under the equity method, as control and risk of loss are shared equally between the members.

Nucor’s investment in Duferdofin Nucor was $262.0 million at June 29, 2019 ($269.1 million at December 31, 2018). Nucor’s 50% share of the total net assets of Duferdofin Nucor was $111.9 million at June 29, 2019, resulting in a basis difference of $150.1 million due to the step-up to fair value of certain assets and liabilities attributable to Duferdofin Nucor as well as the identification of goodwill ($87.6 million) and finite-lived intangible assets. This basis difference, excluding the portion attributable to goodwill, is being amortized based on the remaining estimated useful lives of the various underlying net assets, as appropriate. Amortization expense associated with the fair value step-up was $2.3 million

Table of Contents

during the second quarters of both 2019 and 2018, respectively, and was $4.5 million and $4.8 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of June 29, 2019, Nucor had outstanding notes receivable of €35.0 million ($39.8 million) from Duferdofin Nucor (€35.0 million, or $40.2 million, as of December 31, 2018). The notes receivable bear interest at 0.84% and reset annually on September 30 to the 12-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 1% per year. The maturity date of the principal amounts was extended to January 31, 2022 during the first quarter of 2018. As of June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the notes receivable were classified in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Nucor has issued a guarantee for its ownership percentage (50%) of Duferdofin Nucor’s borrowings under Facility A of a Structured Trade Finance Facilities Agreement (“Facility A”). The fair value of the guarantee is immaterial. In April 2018, Duferdofin Nucor amended and extended Facility A to mature on April 16, 2021. The maximum amount Duferdofin Nucor could borrow under Facility A was €160.0 million ($181.9 million) at June 29, 2019. As of June 29, 2019, there was €154.0 million ($175.1 million) outstanding under that facility (€155.0 million, or $178.0 million, as of December 31, 2018). If Duferdofin Nucor fails to pay when due any amounts for which it is obligated under Facility A, Nucor could be required to pay 50% of such amounts pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of its guarantee. Any indebtedness of Duferdofin Nucor to Nucor is effectively subordinated to the indebtedness of Duferdofin Nucor under Facility A. Nucor has not recorded any liability associated with this guarantee.

NUCOR-JFE

Nucor owns a 50% economic and voting interest in Nucor-JFE Steel Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Nucor-JFE”), a 50-50 joint venture with JFE Steel Corporation of Japan, to build and operate a galvanized sheet steel plant in central Mexico. Nucor-JFE plant construction has commenced and operations are expected to begin in the second half of 2019. Nucor accounts for the investment in Nucor-JFE (on a one-month lag basis) under the equity method, as control and risk of loss are shared equally between the members. Nucor’s investment in Nucor-JFE was $143.4 million at June 29, 2019 ($135.7 million at December 31, 2018).

On January 16, 2019, Nucor entered into an agreement to guarantee a percentage, equal to its ownership percentage (50%), of Nucor-JFE’s borrowings under the General Financing Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Facility”). The fair value of the guarantee is immaterial. Nucor’s guarantee expires on April 30, 2020. Under the Facility, the maximum amount Nucor-JFE could borrow was $65.0 million as of June 29, 2019. The Facility is uncommitted. As of June 29, 2019, there was $65.0 million outstanding under the Facility. If Nucor-JFE fails to pay when due any amounts for which it is obligated under the Facility, Nucor could be required to pay 50% of such amounts pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of its guarantee. Nucor has not recorded any liability associated with this guarantee.

ALL EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Nucor reviews its equity investments for impairment if and when circumstances indicate that a decline in fair value below their carrying amounts may have occurred. Nucor last assessed its equity investment in Duferdofin Nucor for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the protracted challenging steel market conditions in Europe. After completing its assessment, the Company determined that the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying amount by a sufficient amount and that there was no need to record an impairment charge. The assumptions that most significantly affect the fair value determination include projected cash flows and the discount rate. It is reasonably possible that material deviation of future performance from the estimates used in our most recent valuation could result in impairment of our investment in Duferdofin Nucor. We will continue to monitor for potential triggering events that could affect the carrying value of our investment in Duferdofin Nucor as a result of future market conditions and any changes in our business strategy.

Table of Contents

Fair value measurements for Nucor’s cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified under Level 1 because such measurements are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Our short-term investments are held in similar short-term investment instruments as described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Nucor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Fair value measurements for Nucor’s derivatives are classified under Level 2 because such measurements are based on published market prices for similar assets or are estimated based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, spot and future commodity prices, and spot and future exchange rates.

The fair value of short-term and long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $4.74 billion at June 29, 2019 ($4.45 billion at December 31, 2018). The debt fair value estimates are classified under Level 2 because such estimates are based on readily available market prices of our debt at June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, or similar debt with the same maturities, ratings and interest rates.

We are from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Nucor maintains liability insurance with self-insurance limits for certain risks.

The Company also maintains a number of inactive plans under which stock-based awards remain outstanding but no further awards may be made. As of June 29, 2019, 1.5 million shares were reserved for issuance upon the future settlement of outstanding awards under such inactive plans.

Stock Options – Stock options may be granted to Nucor’s key employees, officers and non-employee directors with exercise prices at 100% of the market value on the date of the grant. The stock options granted are generally exercisable at the end of three years and have a term of 10 years.

A summary of activity under Nucor’s stock option plans for the first six months of 2019 is as follows (in thousands, except years and per share amounts):

For the 2019 stock option grant, the grant date fair value of $8.69 per share was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Stock options granted to employees who are eligible for retirement on the date of the grant are expensed immediately since these awards vest upon retirement from the Company. Retirement, for purposes of vesting in these stock options, means termination of employment after satisfying age and years of service requirements. Similarly, stock options granted to employees who will become retirement-eligible prior to the end of the vesting term are expensed over the period through which the employee will become retirement-eligible. Compensation expense for stock options granted to employees who will not become retirement-eligible prior to the end of the vesting term is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options was $3.8 million and $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $4.1 million and $4.0 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of June 29, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $1.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock Units – Nucor annually grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to key employees, officers and non-employee directors. The RSUs granted to key employees and officers vest and are converted to common stock in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, provided that a portion of the RSUs awarded to officers prior to 2018 vests only upon the officer’s retirement. Retirement, for purposes of vesting in these RSUs only, means termination of employment with approval of the Compensation and Executive Development Committee of the Board of Directors after satisfying age and years of service requirements. RSUs granted to a non-employee director are fully vested on the grant date and are payable to the non-employee director in the form of common stock after the termination of the director’s service on the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

RSUs granted to employees who are eligible for retirement on the date of the grant are expensed immediately, and RSUs granted to employees who will become retirement-eligible prior to the end of the vesting term are expensed over the period through which the employee will become retirement-eligible since these awards vest upon retirement from the Company. Compensation expense for RSUs granted to employees who will not become retirement-eligible prior to the end of the vesting term is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Cash dividend equivalents are paid to holders of RSUs each quarter. Dividend equivalents paid on RSUs expected to vest are recognized as a reduction in retained earnings.

The fair value of an RSU is determined based on the closing price of Nucor’s common stock on the date of the grant. A summary of Nucor’s RSU activity for the first six months of 2019 is as follows (shares in thousands):

Compensation expense for RSUs was $41.3 million and $32.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $48.1 million and $38.3 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of June 29, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $81.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Awards – Prior to their expiration effective December 31, 2017, the Nucor Corporation Senior Officers Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Nucor Corporation Senior Officers Annual Incentive Plan authorized the award of shares of common stock to officers subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted supplements to the Omnibus Plan with terms that permit the award of shares of common stock to officers subject to the conditions and restrictions described below, which are substantially similar to those of the expired Senior Officers Long-Term Incentive Plan and Senior Officers Annual Incentive Plan. The expired Senior Officers Long-Term Incentive Plan, together with the applicable supplement, is referred to below as the “LTIP,” and the expired Senior Officers Annual Incentive Plan, together with the applicable supplement, is referred to below as the “AIP.”

The LTIP provides for the award of shares of restricted common stock at the end of each LTIP performance measurement period at no cost to officers if certain financial performance goals are met during the period. One-third of the LTIP restricted stock award vests upon each of the first three anniversaries of the award date or, if earlier, upon the officer’s attainment of age 55 while employed by Nucor. Although LTIP participants are entitled to cash dividends and may vote such awarded shares, the sale or transfer of such shares is limited during the restricted period.

The AIP provides for the payment of annual cash incentive awards. An AIP participant may elect, however, to defer payment of up to one-half of an AIP award. In such event, the deferred AIP award is converted into common stock units and credited with a deferral incentive, in the form of additional common stock units, equal to 25% of the number of common stock units attributable to the deferred AIP award. Common stock units attributable to deferred AIP awards are fully vested. Common stock units credited as a deferral incentive vest upon the AIP participant’s attainment of age 55 while employed by Nucor. Vested common stock units are paid to AIP participants in the form of shares of common stock following their termination of employment with Nucor.

A summary of Nucor’s restricted stock activity under the AIP and the LTIP for the first six months of 2019 is as follows (shares in thousands):

Table of Contents

Compensation expense for common stock and common stock units awarded under the AIP and the LTIP is recorded over the performance measurement and vesting periods based on the anticipated number and market value of shares of common stock and common stock units to be awarded. Compensation expense for anticipated awards based upon Nucor’s financial performance, exclusive of amounts payable in cash, was $3.7 million and $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $9.1 million and $9.7 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of June 29, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards was $2.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Included in interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 was the benefit received from the settlement of a treasury lock instrument that was entered into in anticipation of the Company’s debt issuance that occurred in the second quarter of 2018. The Company did not elect hedge accounting for this instrument.

Nucor has concluded U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2014. The tax years 2015 through 2017 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Canada Revenue Agency has concluded its examination of the 2012 and 2013 Canadian returns for Harris Steel Group Inc. and certain related affiliates. The 2015 tax year is currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency. The Trinidad and Tobago Inland Revenue Division is examining the Nu-Iron Unlimited 2013 corporate income tax return. The tax years 2012 through 2018 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which Nucor is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).

Non-current deferred tax assets included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $0.9 million at June 29, 2019 ($0.7 million at December 31, 2018). Non-current deferred tax liabilities included in deferred credits and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $387.9 million at June 29, 2019 ($332.0 million at December 31, 2018).
