1 Gerdau Earnings recovery to be slower than expected; Downgrading to Neutral We are downgrading Gerdau to N from OW as the earnings recovery story has been slower to evolve than we initially expected driven by weaker than expected demand in NA and weaker than previously expected margins in Brazil and Specialty divisions. While we believe the earnings have bottomed in 1Q13 and should stage a recovery beginning 2Q13, we see limited upside to our estimates given present business conditions, which remain challenging from a margin and demand front, and thus we find the stock expensive at current valuations (trading at 8.9x and 7.5x 2013E and 2014E EBITDA vs. 7.6x and 6.6x for peers). That said, we see Gerdau as our preferred steel exposure, especially relative to Brazilian flat steel producers. We retain our OW rating on Metalurgica Gerdau and see it as a discounted way to gain exposure to Gerdau. Earnings recovery to be slower than expected, trimming estimates further. While we expect Gerdau s earnings to improve from 2Q13 onwards, we believe the pace of recovery is likely to be slower than we had expected as business conditions remain challenging. US non-residential construction recovery has been weaker than expected, and price weakness in long steel prices globally should mean there is limited room for price increases in Gerdau s end markets. In addition, the company should continue to see costs related to ramp-up in India operations, impacting recovery of margins for the specialty division. As such, we are trimming our NA EBITDA estimates on slightly weaker volumes and tighter metal spreads (and thus weaker margins). We are also being more conservative in our estimates for earnings recovery for Brazil and specialty divisions, but we expect sequential recovery until 3Q after dismal a 1Q13. Overall, our revised 2013/14 EBITDA estimates are R$4.2B/R$5.0B, -7%/-6% vs. prior estimates and -11%/-12% vs. Bloomberg consensus. Still the best placed company within the Brazilian steel sector. Within the challenging steel sector, Gerdau has a relatively better top-down (exposed to Brazil s growing construction demand and recovery of US non-residential construction segment) and bottom-up story (improving product mix and rising iron ore exposure). In addition, lack of other compelling investment alternatives in the Brazilian steel sector (we rate both CSN and Usiminas as UW), should mean that Gerdau will be viewed as the relative safe haven for exposure in the steel sector in Brazil. Valuations not supportive of an OW, downgrade to N. We see limited upside to our estimates given present business conditions, which remain challenging from a margin and demand front, and thus we find the stock expensive at current valuations (trading at 8.9x and 7.5x 2013E and 2014E EBITDA vs. 7.6x and 6.6x for peers). This drives our downgrade to Neutral. 2Q earnings will remain critical, after two poor quarters, for investors to gain more visibility on the earnings recovery. Our revised Dec 2013 price target is R$16.5 (vs. R$18.5), which implies potential upside of 21%. We retain our OW rating on Metalurgica Gerdau with a revised Dec 2013 price target of R$26.0 (vs. R$31.5) and see it as a discounted way to gain exposure to Gerdau.

Morgan estimates, company data. Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks Gerdau S.A. (Neutral; Price Target: R$16.50) Investment Thesis We rate Gerdau Neutral as we believe valuations remain expensive and we see limited upside to our estimates. The company s earnings should recover from the 3
4 1Q13 bottom; however, the pace of recovery should be slower than we had originally expected, and the visibility of the recovery remains limited. That said, we see Gerdau as our preferred steel exposure, especially relative to Brazilian flat steel producers. Within the challenging steel sector, Gerdau has a relatively better top-down (exposed to Brazil s growing construction demand and recovery of US non-residential construction segment) and bottom-up story (improving product mix and rising iron ore exposure). In addition, the lack of other compelling investment alternatives in the Brazilian steel sector (we rate both CSN and Usiminas as UW), should mean that Gerdau will be viewed as a relative safe haven for exposure in the steel sector in Brazil. Valuation Our Dec 2013 price target for Gerdau is R$ As with other steel companies, we value Gerdau based on a combination of DCF (80%) and multiples (20%). In our DCF we use a 9.7% discount rate composed of a cost of equity of 11.7% and an after-tax cost of debt of 5.3%, which gives us a value of R$17.8. For multiple analysis, we use a target EV/EBITDA of 6.5x, a slight premium to Gerdau s historical multiple average, on our 2014E adjusted EBITDA, which gives us a price of R$10.9. Risks to Rating and Price Target The main upside/downside risks to our Neutral rating and price target would come from better/worse than expected growth in the global and/or domestic economy. If this were to happen, we could see volumes above/below our expectations and prices going higher/lower than we currently assume. We also see risks related to overpaying for potential acquisitions (as it has done in the past), capex execution, and cost overruns in capacity expansion. On the other hand, potentially accretive acquisitions and lower than expected capex would add upside risks to our estimates. 4

6 Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks Metalurgica Gerdau (Overweight; Price Target: R$26.00) Investment Thesis We maintain our Overweight rating on Metalurgica Gerdau (GOAU4) and continue to see its shares as an alternative way to buy long steel exposure through its holdings in Gerdau S.A. (Neutral). Metalúrgica continues to trade at a substantial discount to its estimated NAV, which we believe is unwarranted, especially since it grants 100% tag-along rights to minorities of both types of shares and offers a higher dividend yield vs. Gerdau. Our Dec 2013 price target for GOAU4 is R$26.0. Valuation Our Overweight rating and Dec 2013 price target of R$26.0 (or US$12.7 as JPM s end 2013 BRL/USD forecast is 2.05) for Metalurgica Gerdau are based on a sum-ofthe-parts valuation with a holding discount to NAV of 10%. In the SOTP we value Metalúrgica s particiaption in Gerdau BG Participações and other assets. The stake in Gerdau S.A. is valued in the SOTP taking our estimated fair value for GGBR4 shares, which is extended to GGBR3 shares. We estimate the fair value for Gerdau (GGBR4) with a combination of DCF (80% weight) and multiples (20% weight) analysis. In our DCF, we use a 9.7% discount rate composed of a cost of equity of 11.7% and an after-tax cost of debt of 5.3%. Please see Table 4 above for the sum-ofthe-parts calculations. Risks to Rating and Price Target The main risk to our rating and price target for Metalúrgica comes from its exposure to the steel market, especially at the Gerdau level. A slowdown in global and/or domestic economic growth could impact steel demand and weaken prices. In addition, Gerdau has been an active consolidator; even though the company has been disciplined in its moves, there is a risk that it might overpay widely contested assets. We see further risks related to capex execution and cost overruns from Gerdau that could negatively impact our valuation and price target. Finally, Metalúrgica is also exposed to foreign currency, inflation, and interest rate risks, and any unfavorable movement in these variables could adversely impact the earnings and share price performance. 6
