- EBITDA of USD392.8 million in the second quarter 2016, a 30% sequential increase as a result of higher shipments and EBITDA per ton.
- Earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS)(3) of USD0.78 in the second quarter 2016.
- Capital expenditures of USD132.4 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to USD97.8 million in the first quarter 2016.
- Net debt position of USD1.1 billion at the end of June 2016, up from USD1.0 billion at the end of March 2016 and equivalent to 0.9 times net debt to last twelve months EBITDA. Of note in the second quarter 2016 were dividend payments of USD227.5 million, a USD114.4 million cash contribution to Usiminas in connection with its capital increase process and a USD29.4 million intercompany loan to Techgen.
Ternium's operating income in the second quarter 2016 was USD293.5 million, USD91.2 million higher than operating income in the first quarter 2016. Shipments increased 177,000 tons sequentially, reaching 2.6 million tons in the second quarter 2016, a quarterly record mainly due to a 158,000 ton increase in Mexico. Operating margin(4) increased in the quarter as a result of 5% higher steel revenue per ton partially offset by a slight sequential increase in operating cost per ton(5). Steel revenue per ton increased principally due to higher realized steel prices in Mexico, as realized prices in the Southern Region remained relatively stable. The slight increase in operating cost per ton was the result of higher costs in Argentina, as the effect of December 2015 Argentine peso's devaluation on inventories gradually dissipated, partially offset by lower costs in the rest of Ternium's facilities.
Compared to the second quarter 2015, the company's operating income in the second quarter 2016 increased USD190.4 million, with higher shipments and operating margin. Shipments increased 210,000 tons year-over-year, mainly as a result of a 296,000 ton increase in Mexico, partially offset by a 96,000 ton decrease in the Southern Region. Operating margin increased in the second quarter 2016 principally due to lower cost of purchased slabs, raw materials, energy and labor, partially offset by 13% lower steel revenue per ton than in the second quarter 2015.
The company's net income in the second quarter 2016 was USD174.3 million, compared to USD123.6 million in the first quarter 2016. The USD50.7 million increase in net income was mainly due to higher operating income and lower net financial expenses, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate principally related to the non-cash effect on deferred taxes of an 8.0% devaluation of the Mexican peso against the US dollar during the period.
Relative to the prior-year-period, net income in the second quarter 2016 increased by USD123.8 million mainly due to higher operating income and lower net financial expenses, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.

- Capital expenditures of USD230.2 million in the first half 2016, compared to USD227.5 million in the first half 2015.
Operating income in the first half 2016 was USD495.9 million, USD188.7 million higher than operating income in the first half 2015. Steel shipments reached 5.0 million tons in the first half 2016, a 210,000 ton increase year-over-year mainly as a result of 357,000 tons higher shipments in Mexico partially offset by 159,000 tons lower shipments in the Southern Region. Steel operating margin increased, mainly reflecting USD189 lower operating cost per ton partially offset by USD150 lower revenue per ton. The decrease in operating cost per ton was mainly due to lower cost of purchased slabs, raw materials, energy and labor.
Net income in the first half 2016 was USD297.8 million, compared to net income of USD146.3 million in the first half 2015. The USD151.6 million increase in the year-over-year comparison was mainly due to higher operating income and better results from non-consolidated companies, partially offset by higher income tax expenses.
Outlook
Ternium expects an increase during the third quarter 2016 in average realized prices, reflecting the substantial improvement of the steel price environment in the United States during the first half of the year, after some lag in previous quarters related to the regular price resets contained in industrial customer sales contracts. Following a new steel shipments quarterly record in Mexico during the second quarter 2016, the company anticipates steel shipments in that country to decrease in the third quarter despite steady end-market demand conditions, mainly as a result of inventory buildup in the Mexican commercial market over the past few months, as well as third quarter seasonality in the automotive and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industries.
Steel market conditions in Argentina remained weak in the second quarter 2016. Ternium expects some further weakness in shipments to the local domestic market into the third quarter of the year. This should be partially offset by higher exports to Argentina's neighboring countries.
The company anticipates a sequentially higher operating income in the third quarter 2016, as a result of higher operating margin partially offset by lower shipments. Ternium expects a sequential increase in the third quarter 2016 of average realized prices and slightly higher cost per ton. The significant increase of slab market prices during the first half of 2016 should gradually pass through to the company's cost of sales, although only toward the beginning of the fourth quarter this year.

Mining reporting segment
The mining segment's operating income was a loss of USD2.1 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to a loss of USD12.5 million in the second quarter 2015, mainly reflecting relatively stable iron ore sales and lower operating cost.
Mining products net sales in the second quarter 2016 remained relatively stable, mainly as a result of lower shipments offset by higher revenue per ton. Shipments were 811,000 tons, 7% lower than in the second quarter 2015.

Net foreign exchange results were a gain of USD19.8 million in the second quarter 2016 compared to a gain of USD4.6 million in the second quarter 2015. The second quarter 2016 gain was mainly due to the positive impact of the Mexican Peso's 8% devaluation against the U.S. dollar on a net short local currency position in Ternium's Mexican subsidiaries.
Equity in results of non-consolidated companies was a gain of USD4.9 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to a loss of USD1.1 million in the second quarter 2015, mainly due to better results from Ternium's investment in Usiminas.
Income tax expense in the second quarter 2016 was USD124.0 million, or 42% of income before income tax expense, compared to an income tax expense of USD31.3 million in the second quarter 2015, or 38% of income before income tax expense. Income tax expenses in the second quarter 2016 included a non-cash charge on deferred taxes due to the 8% devaluation of the Mexican peso against the US dollar during the period, which reduces, in US dollar terms, the tax base used to calculate deferred tax at our Mexican subsidiaries (which have the US dollar as their functional currency). In the second quarter 2015, the Mexican peso devaluation against the US dollar had been 3%.

Cost of sales was USD2.7 billion in the first half 2016, a decrease of USD741.5 million compared to the first half 2015. This was principally due to a USD647.8 million, or 25%, decrease in raw material and consumables used, mainly reflecting lower iron ore, coking coal, scrap, energy and purchased slabs costs; and to a USD93.7 million decrease in other costs, mainly including a USD47.7 million decrease in labor cost, a USD23.5 million decrease in maintenance expenses, a USD19.5 million decrease in depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and a USD6.1 million decrease in services and fees, partially offset by a 4% increase in steel shipments volumes. In addition, the Argentine peso significant devaluation against the US dollar by the end of 2015 helped to reduce Ternium's Argentine subsidiary's costs year-over-year, as a result of the currency devaluation effect on the U.S. dollar value of the subsidiary's inventory as of the end of December 2015.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses in the first half 2016 were USD344.0 million, or 9.8% of net sales, a decrease of USD58.1 million compared to SG&A expenses in the first half 2015 mainly due to lower labor costs, freight and transportation expenses, services and fees expenses and lower taxes and contributions (other than income tax).
