- Definition Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid Investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, generally consist of marketable securities intended to be sold within one year (or the normal operating cycle if longer) and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year), as applicable.

| NATURE OF OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Commercial Metals Company ("CMC") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") manufacture, recycle and fabricate steel and metal products and provide related materials and services through a network of facilities that includes seven electric arc furnace ("EAF") mini mills, two EAF micro mills, one rerolling mill, steel fabrication and processing plants, construction-related product warehouses and metal recycling facilities in the United States ("U.S.") and Poland. Through its Tensar operations, CMC is a leading global provider of innovative ground and soil stabilization solutions selling into more than 80 national markets through two major product lines: Tensar® geogrids and Geopier® foundation systems. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and Europe. North America The North America segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, steel mills and fabrication operations located in the U.S. The recycling facilities process ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively known as "raw materials") for use by manufacturers of new metal products. The steel mills manufacture finished long steel products including reinforcing bar ("rebar"), merchant bar, light structural and other special sections as well as semi-finished billets for rerolling and forging applications (collectively known as "steel products"). The fabrication operations primarily manufacture fabricated rebar and steel fence posts (collectively known as "downstream products"). The general strategy in North America is to optimize the Company's vertically integrated value chain to maximize profitability by obtaining the lowest possible input costs and highest possible selling prices. The Company operates the recycling facilities to provide low-cost scrap to the steel mills and the fabrication operations to optimize the steel mill volumes. The North America segment's products are sold primarily to steel mills and foundries, construction, fabrication and other manufacturing industries. In addition, the North America segment also has facilities that provide construction-related solutions to serve complementary markets to our vertically integrated operations. Europe The Europe segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, an EAF mini mill and fabrication operations located in Poland. The steel products manufactured by this segment include rebar, merchant bar and wire rod as well as semi-finished billets. In addition, the downstream products manufactured by this segment's fabrication operations include fabricated rebar, fabricated mesh, assembled rebar cages and other fabricated rebar by-products. The Europe segment's products are sold primarily to fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and construction companies. In addition, the Europe segment also has facilities that provide construction-related solutions to serve complementary markets to our vertically integrated operations. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, income taxes, carrying value of inventory, acquisitions, goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative instruments and contingencies. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and short-term, highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration received or expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's performance obligations arise from (i) sales of raw materials, steel products, downstream products and construction-related solutions and (ii) installation services performed by its fabrication operations. The shipment of products to customers is considered a fulfillment activity and amounts billed to customers for shipping and freight are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Net sales are presented net of taxes. Revenue related to raw materials, steel products and construction-related solutions in the North America and Europe segments and downstream products in the Europe segment is recognized at a point in time concurrent with the transfer of control, which usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. Revenue related to steel fence posts and other downstream products in the North America segment not discussed below is recognized equal to billing under an available practical expedient. Each fabricated rebar contract sold by the North America segment represents a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time. For contracts where the Company provides fabricated rebar and installation services, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure of progress based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs ("input measure"). This input measure provides a reasonable depiction of the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation as there is a direct relationship between costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar and installation services. Revenue from fabricated rebar contracts where the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure of progress based on tons shipped compared to total estimated tons ("output measure"). This output measure provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of contract value to the customer, as there is a direct relationship between the units shipped by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar. If total estimated costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues, costs to complete or total planned quantity is recorded in the period in which such revisions are identified. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and a liability when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although the Company generally requires customers to pay 30 days after the Company satisfies the performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined the contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the accounts receivable we estimate will not be collected based on market conditions, customers' financial condition and other factors. Historically, these allowances have not been material. The Company reviews and sets credit limits for each customer. The Europe segment uses credit insurance to ensure payment in accordance with the terms of sale. Generally, collateral is not required. Approximately 16% and 17% of total receivables at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were secured by credit insurance. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method. Elements of cost in finished goods inventory in addition to the cost of material include depreciation, utilities, consumable production inputs, maintenance, production, wages and transportation costs. Additionally, the costs of departments that support production, including materials management and quality control, are allocated to inventory. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance is expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
The Company evaluates impairment of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For each asset or group of assets held for use with indicators of impairment, the Company compares the sum of the estimated future cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets with its associated net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the excess of the net carrying value over estimated fair value is charged to impairment loss. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell. Leases The Company's leases are primarily for real property and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract if the terms state the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specific asset identified in the contract. The right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company records its ROU assets in other noncurrent assets, its current lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other payables and its noncurrent lease liabilities in other noncurrent liabilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. The Company does not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”). Certain of the Company's lease agreements include payments for certain variable costs not determinable upon lease commencement, including mileage, utilities, fuel and inflation adjustments. These variable lease payments are recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, but are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability balances. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. Government Assistance Government assistance, including non-monetary grants, herein collectively referred to as grants, are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions of the grant and the Company will receive the grant. Generally, government grants fall into two categories: grants related to assets and grants related to income. Grants related to assets are government grants for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of long-lived assets. The Company accounts for grants related to assets as deferred income with the offset to an asset account, such as fixed assets, on the consolidated balance sheets. Non-monetary grants are recognized at fair value. The Company recognizes the deferred income on grants related to depreciable assets in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset, which, consistent with the Company's fixed assets policy, is straight-line. The period over which grants are recognized depends on the terms of the agreement. Grants related to specific expenses already incurred are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the grant becomes receivable. Grants related to non-depreciable assets may require the fulfillment of certain obligations. In such cases, these grants are recognized in profit or loss over the periods that bear the cost of meeting the obligations. Grants related to income are any grants that are not considered grants related to assets, such as grants to compensate for certain expenses. Grants related to income are recognized as a reduction in the related expense in the period that the recognition criteria are met. See Note 10, New Markets Tax Credit Transactions. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be possible. To evaluate goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may use qualitative assessments to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, or an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessments consider multiple factors, including the current operating environment, historical and future financial performance and industry and market conditions. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and instead perform a quantitative impairment test to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit in comparison to its associated carrying value. The Company's reporting units represent an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into account industry and market conditions. The discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the reporting unit. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is indicated in the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the goodwill value for the reporting unit. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded on finite-lived intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. Contingencies The Company accrues for claims and litigation, including environmental investigation and remediation costs, when they are both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs are based upon estimates regarding the sites for which the Company will be responsible, the scope and cost of work to be performed at each site, the portion of costs that will be shared with other parties and the timing of remediation. Where timing and amounts cannot be reasonably determined, a range is estimated and the lower end of the range is recorded. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based equity and liability awards at fair value. The fair value of each stock-based equity award is estimated at the grant date using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo pricing model. Total compensation cost of the stock-based equity award is amortized over the requisite service period using the accelerated method of amortization for grants with graded vesting or the straight-line method for grants with cliff vesting. Stock-based liability awards are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and will fluctuate based on the price of CMC common stock and performance relative to the targets. Income Taxes CMC and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The principal differences are described in Note 13, Income Tax. Benefits from income tax credits are reflected currently in earnings. The Company records income tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company classifies interest and any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position as income tax expense. Foreign Currencies The functional currency of the Company's Polish operations is the local currency, the Polish zloty ("PLN"). Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency related to continuing operations yielded a $9.6 million gain in 2022 and immaterial gains or losses in 2021 and 2020. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through net earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as hedges are recognized depending on the nature of the hedge. In the case of fair value hedges, changes are recognized as an offset against the change in fair value of the hedged balance sheet item. When the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective, changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a derivative instrument is sold, terminated, exercised or expires, the gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings for fair value hedges, and the cumulative unrealized gain or loss, which had been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, is reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings for cash flow hedges. Additionally, when hedged items are sold or extinguished, or the anticipated transaction being hedged is no longer expected to occur, the Company recognizes the gain or loss on the designated hedged financial instrument. Fair Value The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 represents unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 represents quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 represents valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance, which will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations. In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 aims to increase the transparency of government assistance through the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity's accounting for the assistance and the effect of the assistance on an entity's financial statements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance based on government assistance received after the effective date of this guidance.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Commercial Metals Company ("CMC") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") manufacture, recycle and fabricate steel and metal products and provide related materials and services through a network of facilities that includes seven electric arc furnace ("EAF") mini mills, two EAF micro mills, one rerolling mill, steel fabrication and processing plants, construction-related product warehouses and metal recycling facilities in the United States ("U.S.") and Poland. Through its Tensar operations, CMC is a leading global provider of innovative ground and soil stabilization solutions selling into more than 80 national markets through two major product lines: Tensar® geogrids and Geopier® foundation systems. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and Europe. North America The North America segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, steel mills and fabrication operations located in the U.S. The recycling facilities process ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively known as "raw materials") for use by manufacturers of new metal products. The steel mills manufacture finished long steel products including reinforcing bar ("rebar"), merchant bar, light structural and other special sections as well as semi-finished billets for rerolling and forging applications (collectively known as "steel products"). The fabrication operations primarily manufacture fabricated rebar and steel fence posts (collectively known as "downstream products"). The general strategy in North America is to optimize the Company's vertically integrated value chain to maximize profitability by obtaining the lowest possible input costs and highest possible selling prices. The Company operates the recycling facilities to provide low-cost scrap to the steel mills and the fabrication operations to optimize the steel mill volumes. The North America segment's products are sold primarily to steel mills and foundries, construction, fabrication and other manufacturing industries. In addition, the North America segment also has facilities that provide construction-related solutions to serve complementary markets to our vertically integrated operations. Europe The Europe segment is primarily composed of a vertically integrated network of recycling facilities, an EAF mini mill and fabrication operations located in Poland. The steel products manufactured by this segment include rebar, merchant bar and wire rod as well as semi-finished billets. In addition, the downstream products manufactured by this segment's fabrication operations include fabricated rebar, fabricated mesh, assembled rebar cages and other fabricated rebar by-products. The Europe segment's products are sold primarily to fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and construction companies. In addition, the Europe segment also has facilities that provide construction-related solutions to serve complementary markets to our vertically integrated operations. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, income taxes, carrying value of inventory, acquisitions, goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative instruments and contingencies. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and short-term, highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration received or expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's performance obligations arise from (i) sales of raw materials, steel products, downstream products and construction-related solutions and (ii) installation services performed by its fabrication operations. The shipment of products to customers is considered a fulfillment activity and amounts billed to customers for shipping and freight are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Net sales are presented net of taxes. Revenue related to raw materials, steel products and construction-related solutions in the North America and Europe segments and downstream products in the Europe segment is recognized at a point in time concurrent with the transfer of control, which usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. Revenue related to steel fence posts and other downstream products in the North America segment not discussed below is recognized equal to billing under an available practical expedient. Each fabricated rebar contract sold by the North America segment represents a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time. For contracts where the Company provides fabricated rebar and installation services, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure of progress based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs ("input measure"). This input measure provides a reasonable depiction of the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation as there is a direct relationship between costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar and installation services. Revenue from fabricated rebar contracts where the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure of progress based on tons shipped compared to total estimated tons ("output measure"). This output measure provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of contract value to the customer, as there is a direct relationship between the units shipped by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar. If total estimated costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues, costs to complete or total planned quantity is recorded in the period in which such revisions are identified. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and a liability when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although the Company generally requires customers to pay 30 days after the Company satisfies the performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined the contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the accounts receivable we estimate will not be collected based on market conditions, customers' financial condition and other factors. Historically, these allowances have not been material. The Company reviews and sets credit limits for each customer. The Europe segment uses credit insurance to ensure payment in accordance with the terms of sale. Generally, collateral is not required. Approximately 16% and 17% of total receivables at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were secured by credit insurance. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method. Elements of cost in finished goods inventory in addition to the cost of material include depreciation, utilities, consumable production inputs, maintenance, production, wages and transportation costs. Additionally, the costs of departments that support production, including materials management and quality control, are allocated to inventory. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance is expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
The Company evaluates impairment of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For each asset or group of assets held for use with indicators of impairment, the Company compares the sum of the estimated future cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets with its associated net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the excess of the net carrying value over estimated fair value is charged to impairment loss. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell. Leases The Company's leases are primarily for real property and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract if the terms state the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specific asset identified in the contract. The right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company records its ROU assets in other noncurrent assets, its current lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other payables and its noncurrent lease liabilities in other noncurrent liabilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. The Company does not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”). Certain of the Company's lease agreements include payments for certain variable costs not determinable upon lease commencement, including mileage, utilities, fuel and inflation adjustments. These variable lease payments are recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, but are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability balances. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. Government Assistance Government assistance, including non-monetary grants, herein collectively referred to as grants, are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions of the grant and the Company will receive the grant. Generally, government grants fall into two categories: grants related to assets and grants related to income. Grants related to assets are government grants for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of long-lived assets. The Company accounts for grants related to assets as deferred income with the offset to an asset account, such as fixed assets, on the consolidated balance sheets. Non-monetary grants are recognized at fair value. The Company recognizes the deferred income on grants related to depreciable assets in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset, which, consistent with the Company's fixed assets policy, is straight-line. The period over which grants are recognized depends on the terms of the agreement. Grants related to specific expenses already incurred are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the grant becomes receivable. Grants related to non-depreciable assets may require the fulfillment of certain obligations. In such cases, these grants are recognized in profit or loss over the periods that bear the cost of meeting the obligations. Grants related to income are any grants that are not considered grants related to assets, such as grants to compensate for certain expenses. Grants related to income are recognized as a reduction in the related expense in the period that the recognition criteria are met. See Note 10, New Markets Tax Credit Transactions. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be possible. To evaluate goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may use qualitative assessments to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, or an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessments consider multiple factors, including the current operating environment, historical and future financial performance and industry and market conditions. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and instead perform a quantitative impairment test to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit in comparison to its associated carrying value.

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is indicated in the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the goodwill value for the reporting unit. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded on finite-lived intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. Contingencies The Company accrues for claims and litigation, including environmental investigation and remediation costs, when they are both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs are based upon estimates regarding the sites for which the Company will be responsible, the scope and cost of work to be performed at each site, the portion of costs that will be shared with other parties and the timing of remediation. Where timing and amounts cannot be reasonably determined, a range is estimated and the lower end of the range is recorded. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based equity and liability awards at fair value. The fair value of each stock-based equity award is estimated at the grant date using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo pricing model. Total compensation cost of the stock-based equity award is amortized over the requisite service period using the accelerated method of amortization for grants with graded vesting or the straight-line method for grants with cliff vesting. Stock-based liability awards are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and will fluctuate based on the price of CMC common stock and performance relative to the targets. Income Taxes CMC and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The principal differences are described in Note 13, Income Tax. Benefits from income tax credits are reflected currently in earnings. The Company records income tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company classifies interest and any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position as income tax expense. Foreign Currencies The functional currency of the Company's Polish operations is the local currency, the Polish zloty ("PLN"). Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency related to continuing operations yielded a $9.6 million gain in 2022 and immaterial gains or losses in 2021 and 2020. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through net earnings.

| ACQUISITION | NOTE 2. ACQUISITION On April 25, 2022 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of TAC Acquisition Corp. ("Tensar"). The total cash purchase price, net of $19.6 million cash acquired, was approximately $550 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and was funded through domestic cash on-hand. Tensar is a leading global provider of innovative ground stabilization and soil reinforcement solutions through two major product lines: Tensar® geogrids and Geopier® foundation systems, which are complementary to the Company's existing concrete reinforcement product lines within North America and Europe. Geogrids are polymer-based products used for ground stabilization, soil reinforcement and asphalt optimization in construction applications, including roadways, public infrastructure and industrial facilities. Geopier foundation systems are ground improvement solutions that increase the load-bearing characteristics of ground structures and working surfaces and can be applied in soil types and construction situations in which traditional support methods are impractical or would make a project infeasible. Tensar’s end customers include commercial, industrial and residential site developers, mining and oil and gas companies, transportation authorities, coastal and waterway authorities and waste management companies. Tensar serves customers in more than 80 national markets through its manufacturing facilities, the largest of which are located in Morrow, Georgia and Blackburn, England. The acquired operations in North America are presented within the North America reportable segment, and the remaining acquired operations are presented within the Europe reportable segment. The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date fair value. In valuing acquired assets and liabilities, fair value estimates were determined using Level 3 inputs, including expected future cash flows and discount rates. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The results of operations of Tensar are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date. The financial statements are not retrospectively adjusted for any adjustments that occur during the allowable one-year measurement period (the "Measurement Period"). Rather, any adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the Measurement Period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined. The table below presents the preliminary fair values and measurement period adjustments that were allocated to Tensar's assets and liabilities as of the Acquisition Date:
Inventories The acquired inventory is comprised of finished goods, work in process and raw materials. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for the selling costs, economic rents for use of intangible assets involved with the disposal process and a reasonable profit margin. The fair value of work in process was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for estimated costs to complete manufacturing, estimated selling costs and a reasonable profit margin. The fair value of raw materials approximates the historical carrying value or was calculated based on the estimated replacement cost. The total purchase accounting inventory adjustment of $8.7 million was recognized during the year ended August 31, 2022 and was reflected as cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold. Defined Benefit Pension Plan The Company recognized a net asset of $14.6 million at the Acquisition Date, representing the overfunded status of the acquired defined benefit pension plan. See Note 15, Employees' Retirement Plans, for more information on the acquired plan. Property, Plant and Equipment The fair value of real property was calculated using the cost approach for buildings and improvements and the sales comparison approach for land. The fair value of personal property was calculated using the cost approach. The cost approach measures the value by estimating the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets and adjusts for age and condition. The Company assigned real property a useful life ranging from 5 to 25 years and personal property a useful life ranging from 1 to 15 years. Goodwill Goodwill from acquisitions represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition, due in part to the complementing markets for engineered construction ground reinforcement and concrete reinforcement. As of the Acquisition Date, the Company added $186.8 million of goodwill related to the Tensar acquisition. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Intangible Assets The acquired intangible assets consist of:
The fair value of developed technologies was calculated using the income approach under the excess earnings method and considers selling, marketing and research and development costs, which were allocated based on patent lifecycles. The fair value of trade names was calculated using the income approach, under the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method considers revenue derived from the corporate and product-specific trade names, the strength and relevance of the trade names in the marketplace and management’s plans to utilize the trade names going forward. The fair value of customer relationships was calculated using the income approach, under the with-and-without method. The with-and-without method considers opportunity costs associated with lost profits in the absence of the existing customer base. The fair value of in-process research and development was calculated using the cost approach and considers development costs, profit mark-up and opportunity cost. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred tax liabilities include the expected future U.S. federal, state and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax bases. Tax rates utilized in calculating the deferred tax liabilities represent the appropriate tax rate for each respective jurisdiction. Deferred tax liabilities may be adjusted during the Measurement Period as the Company finalizes tax returns for periods prior to the Acquisition Date. Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The Company used historical carrying values for trade accounts receivable and payables, as well as certain other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, as their carrying values represented the fair value of those items as of the Acquisition Date. Financial Results The following table summarizes the financial results of Tensar from the Acquisition Date through the end of fiscal 2022 that are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings and consolidated statement of comprehensive income:
Pro Forma Supplemental Information Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis is presented below as if the acquisition of Tensar occurred on September 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only, based on certain factually supported estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes to be reasonable, but not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or the results that would have been reported if the acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2020. These results were not used as part of management's analysis of the financial results and performance of the Company. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect anticipated synergies, but rather include the nonrecurring impact of additional cost of sales from revalued inventory and the recurring income statement effects of fair value adjustments, such as depreciation and amortization. Further adjustments were made to remove the impact of Tensar's prior management fees, acquisition and integration expenses and interest on debt not assumed in the acquisition. The resulting tax effects of the business combination are also reflected below.
The pro forma results presented above include, but are not limited to, adjustments to remove the impact of $8.7 million of acquisition and integration expenses from 2022 and reapportion $1.0 million of those costs incurred following the Acquisition Date to 2021, as well as reallocate $8.7 million of increased cost of goods sold in 2022 to 2021 as a result of the revaluation of inventory. The pro forma results also reflect increased amortization expense from acquired intangible assets of $8.1 million in 2022 and $12.4 million in 2021.

CHANGES IN BUSINESS Facility Closures and Dispositions In October 2019, the Company closed the melting operations at its Rancho Cucamonga facility, which was part of the North America segment, and in August 2020, the Company announced plans to sell the facility.

During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the annual goodwill impairment analyses did not result in any impairment charges. For the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company performed qualitative tests for all reporting units other than one reporting unit within the North America reporting segment consisting of $56.9 million of goodwill. The results of the qualitative tests indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying value. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative test and perform a quantitative test for the North America reporting unit consisting of $56.9 million of goodwill. Based on the results of the quantitative test, the fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 18%. Other intangible assets subject to amortization are detailed in the following table:
The foreign currency translation adjustments related to the intangible assets subject to amortization were immaterial for all periods presented above. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $10.0 million in 2022, of which $6.4 million was recorded in cost of goods sold and $3.6 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $2.1 million in 2021 and 2020, all of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is as follows:

The availability under the Revolver was reduced by outstanding stand-by letters of credit of $1.4 million and $3.0 million at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants, including covenants to maintain: (i) an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, as each is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) a debt to capitalization ratio (consolidated funded debt to total capitalization, as each is defined in the Credit Agreement) that does not exceed 0.60 to 1.00. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on the Eurocurrency rate, a base rate, or the LIBOR rate. At August 31, 2022, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in its credit arrangements. At August 31, 2022, the Company's interest coverage ratio was 34.48 to 1.00 and the Company's debt to capitalization ratio was 0.31 to 1.00. The Company has a Term Loan facility (the "Poland Term Loan") through its subsidiary, CMC Poland Sp. zo.o. ("CMCP"). At August 31, 2022, PLN 152.4 million, or $32.4 million, was outstanding, compared to the maximum amount available under the facility, PLN 190.5 million, or $49.7 million, which was outstanding as of August 31, 2021. CMCP is required to make quarterly interest and principal payments on the Poland Term Loan with interest based on the Warsaw Interbank Offer Rate ("WIBOR") plus a margin. The Poland Term Loan has a maturity date in August 2026. The Company also has credit facilities in Poland, through its subsidiary, CMCP, available to support working capital, short-term cash needs, letters of credit, financial assurance and other trade finance-related matters. At August 31, 2022 and 2021, CMCP's credit facilities totaled PLN 300.0 million, or $63.9 million and $78.3 million, respectively. The credit facilities have expiration dates ranging from March 2024 to March 2025. At August 31, 2022 and 2021, no amounts were outstanding under these facilities. CMCP had no borrowings or repayments under its credit facilities in 2022 and 2021. The available balance of these credit facilities was reduced by outstanding stand-by letters of credit, guarantees and/or other financial assurance instruments, which totaled $1.0 million and $5.7 million at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The scheduled maturities of the Company's long-term debt, excluding obligations related to finance leases, are included in the table below. See Note 8, Leases, for scheduled maturities of finance leases.
The Company capitalized $11.9 million, $2.8 million and $2.5 million of interest in the cost of property, plant and equipment during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounts Receivable Facilities CMC has a $150.0 million U.S. trade accounts receivable facility (the "U.S. Facility"), which expires in March 2023. Under the U.S. Facility, CMC contributes, and certain of its subsidiaries transfer without recourse, certain eligible trade accounts receivable to CMC Receivables, Inc. ("CMCRV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMC. CMCRV is structured to be a bankruptcy-remote entity formed for the sole purpose of facilitating transfers of trade accounts receivable generated by the Company. CMCRV transfers the trade accounts receivable in their entirety to two financial institutions. Under the U.S. Facility, with the consent of both CMCRV and the program's administrative agent, the amount advanced by the financial institutions can be increased to a maximum of $300.0 million for all trade accounts receivable. The remaining portion of the purchase price of the trade accounts receivable takes the form of subordinated notes from the respective financial institutions. These notes will be satisfied from the ultimate collection of the trade accounts receivable after payment of certain fees and other costs. The U.S. Facility contains certain cross-default provisions whereby a termination event could occur if the Company defaulted under certain of its credit arrangements. The covenants contained in the receivables purchase agreement are consistent with the Credit Agreement. Advances taken under the U.S. Facility incur interest based on LIBOR plus a margin. The Company had no advance payments outstanding under the U.S. Facility at August 31, 2022 and 2021. In addition to the U.S. Facility, the Company's subsidiary in Poland transfers trade accounts receivable to financial institutions without recourse (the "Poland Facility"). The Poland Facility has a facility limit of PLN 288.0 million, or $61.3 million and $75.2 million as of August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, respectively. Advances taken under the Poland Facility incur interest based on the WIBOR plus a margin. The Company had PLN 124.0 million, or $26.4 million, advance payments outstanding under the Poland Facility at August 31, 2022 and PLN 101.7 million, or $26.6 million, at August 31, 2021. The transfer of receivables under the U.S. Facility and Poland Facility do not qualify to be accounted for as sales. Therefore, any advances outstanding under these programs are recorded as debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

| New Markets Tax Credit Transactions | NOTE 10. NEW MARKETS TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS During 2016 and 2017, the Company entered into three New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) transactions with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, a Minnesota corporation ("USBCDC"). The NMTC transactions relate to the construction and equipping of the micro mill in Durant, Oklahoma, as well as a rebar spooler and automated T-post shop located on the same site. The transactions qualified through the New Markets Tax Credit program provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the "NMTC Program"), as the micro mill, spooler and T-post shop are located in an eligible zone designated by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and are considered eligible business activities for the NMTC Program. Under the NMTC Program, an investor that makes a capital investment, which, in turn, together with leverage loan sources, is used to make a Qualifying Equity Investment (a "QEI") in an entity that (i) qualifies as a Community Development Entity ("CDE"), (ii) has applied for and been granted an allocation of a portion of the total federal funds available to fund the credits (an "NMTC Allocation") and (iii) uses a minimum specified portion of the QEI to make a Qualified Low Income Community Investment up to the maximum amount of the CDE’s NMTC Allocation will be entitled to claim, over a period of seven years, federal nonrefundable tax credits in an amount equal to 39% of the QEI amount. NMTCs are subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code. In general, the three NMTC transactions were structured similarly. USBCDC made a capital contribution to an investment fund and Commonwealth Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Commonwealth”), made a loan to the investment fund. The investment fund used the proceeds from the capital contribution and the loan to make a QEI into a CDE, which, in turn, makes loans of the QEIs to the operating subsidiaries of the Company with terms similar to the loans by Commonwealth. The following table summarizes the key terms and conditions for each of the three NMTC transactions ($ in millions):
By its capital contributions to the investment funds (exclusive of Twain Investment Fund 222) (collectively, the "Funds"), USBCDC is entitled to substantially all the benefits derived from the NMTCs. These transactions include a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBCDC’s interest in the Funds at the end of a seven-year period, in the case of the USBCDC Investment Fund 156, LLC and Twain Investment Fund 249, LLC or an eight-year period, in the case of Twain Investment Fund 219, LLC (each of such periods, an "Exercise Period"). The Company believes USBCDC will exercise the put options following the end of the respective Exercise Periods. The value attributed to the put/call is immaterial. The Company is required to follow various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC transactions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in unrealized projected tax benefits and, therefore, could require the Company to indemnify USBCDC for any loss or recapture of NMTCs related to the financing until the Company's obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The Company does not anticipate any credit recaptures will be required in connection with these transactions. The Company has determined that the Funds are VIEs, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary and has consolidated them in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. As of August 31, 2021, $27.2 million of USBCDC’s contributions, which represent deferred revenue to the Company, were included in other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The seven-year recapture period on the USBCDC Investment Fund 156 will end on December 24, 2022, and therefore, the corresponding $17.7 million USBCDC capital contribution was reclassified to accrued expenses and other payables in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2022. Direct costs incurred in structuring the transactions were deferred and are recognized as expense over each Exercise Period. Incremental costs to maintain the structures during the compliance periods are recognized as incurred. The Company has determined that Twain Investment Fund 222 is a VIE, of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and has therefore treated the QEI of $2.1 million as debt. The obligation represents the Company's maximum exposure to loss and is included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DERIVATIVES | NOTE 11. DERIVATIVES The Company's global operations and product lines expose it to risks from fluctuations in metal commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and natural gas, electricity and other energy prices. One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments. The Company enters into (i) metal commodity futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risk of unanticipated changes in net earnings due to price volatility in these commodities, (ii) foreign currency forward contracts that match the expected settlements for purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) natural gas and electricity commodity derivatives to mitigate the risk related to price volatility of these commodities. The Company considers the total notional value of its futures and forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. At August 31, 2022, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency and commodity contract commitments were $253.5 million and $205.1 million, respectively. At August 31, 2021, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency contract commitments and its commodity contract commitments were $389.5 million and $213.4 million, respectively. The following table provides information regarding the Company's commodity contract commitments as of August 31, 2022:
__________________________________ MT = Metric Ton MW(h) = Megawatt hour MMBtu = Metric Million British thermal unit The Company designates only those contracts which closely match the terms of the underlying transaction as hedges for accounting purposes. Certain foreign currency and commodity contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, although management believes they are essential economic hedges. The following tables summarize activities related to the Company's derivative instruments and hedged items recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. All other activity related to the Company's derivative instruments and hedged items was immaterial for the periods presented.

| FAIR VALUE | NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for definitions of the three levels within the hierarchy. The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
__________________________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options. (2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or the New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivatives classified as Level 3 are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 11, Derivatives. The fair value estimate of the Level 3 commodity derivative is based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model primarily utilizing unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices ("floating rate"). The floating rate is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow model. The following table summarizes the floating rate during 2022 and 2021:
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivative recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and is the primary reason for the unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income ("OCI") in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
__________________________________ (1) Unrealized holding gains/(losses), net of foreign currency translation, less amounts reclassified are included in OCI in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. (2) (Gains)/losses included in net earnings are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of earnings. There were no material non-recurring fair value remeasurements in 2022 or 2021. The carrying values of the Company's short-term items, including documentary letters of credit and notes payable, approximate fair value. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
__________________________________ (1) The fair value of the notes and the Series 2022 Bonds were determined based on indicated market values. (2) The Poland Term Loan and short-term borrowings contain variable interest rates and carrying value approximates fair value.

| INCOME TAX | NOTE 13. INCOME TAX The components of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were as follows:
The income taxes (benefit) included in the consolidated statements of earnings were as follows:
A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations, including material items impacting the effective income tax rate, is as follows:
__________________________________ (1) Fully offset by a valuation allowance. (2) 2021 includes the tax effect of a gain recognized in connection with a global tax restructuring. (3) State and local taxes in 2021 includes a $19.9 million benefit related to the release of certain state valuation allowances. (4) 2022 includes the impact of uncertain tax positions. (5) Resulted from a tax restructuring transaction. The Company plans to repatriate the current and future earnings from material jurisdictions within the Europe segment and recorded an immaterial amount of tax expense related to such future distributions. The Company considers all undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries prior to August 31, 2019 to be indefinitely reinvested and has not recorded deferred tax liabilities on such earnings. The income tax effects of significant temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
Net operating losses giving rise to deferred tax assets consist of $365.5 million of state net operating losses, $65.8 million of U.S. federal net operating losses and $922.4 million of foreign net operating losses that expire in varying amounts beginning in 2023 (with certain amounts having indefinite carryforward periods). These assets will be reduced as income tax expense is recognized in future periods. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to reduce certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company's valuation allowances primarily relate to net operating loss and credit carryforwards in certain state and foreign jurisdictions for which utilization is uncertain. During 2022, the Company recorded a net $9.6 million decrease in valuation allowances, principally related to the dissolution of certain foreign subsidiaries. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows:
__________________________________ (1) The full balance of unrecognized income tax benefits in each year, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective income tax rate at the end of each respective year. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were not material in any period presented. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. The following is a summary of all fiscal years that are open to examination. U.S. Federal — 2019 and forward U.S. States — 2018 and forward Foreign — 2014 and forward

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS | NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company's stock-based compensation plans provide for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and performance-based awards. The Compensation Committee of CMC's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") approves all awards that are granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense for 2022, 2021 and 2020 of $47.0 million, $43.7 million and $31.9 million, respectively, was primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of earnings. As of August 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $15.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of three years. The following table summarizes the total awards granted:
As of August 31, 2022, the Company had 4,575,646 shares of common stock available for future grants. Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans may not be sold, transferred, pledged or assigned until service-based restrictions lapse. The restricted stock units generally vest and are converted to shares of the Company's common stock in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. Generally, upon termination of employment, restricted stock units that have not vested are forfeited. Other than awards granted to certain executives, which continue to vest following qualifying retirement, a pro-rata portion of the unvested restricted stock awarded will vest and become payable upon death, disability or qualifying retirement. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, discounted for the expected dividend yield through the vesting period. Compensation cost related to the restricted stock units is recognized ratably over the service period and is included in equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Performance Stock Units Performance stock units issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans may not be sold, transferred, pledged or assigned until service-based restrictions lapse and any performance objectives have been attained as established by the Compensation Committee. Recipients of these awards generally must be actively employed by and providing services to the Company on the last day of the performance period in order to receive an award payout. Other than awards granted to certain executives, which continue to vest following qualifying retirement, a pro-rata portion of the performance stock units will vest and become payable at the end of the performance period upon death, disability or qualifying retirement. Compensation cost for performance stock units is accrued based on the probable outcome of specified performance conditions, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company accrues compensation cost if it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. The Company reassesses the probability of meeting the specified performance conditions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts compensation cost, as necessary, based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions. If the performance conditions are not met at the end of the performance period, the Company reverses the related compensation cost. Performance targets established by the Compensation Committee for performance stock units awarded in 2022, 2021 and 2020 were weighted 75% based on the Company's cumulative EBITDA targets and positive return on invested capital for the fiscal year in which the awards were granted and the succeeding two fiscal years, as approved by CMC's Board of Directors in the respective year's business plan, and 25% based on a three-year relative total stockholder return metric. Performance stock units awarded will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Award payouts range from a threshold of 50% to a maximum of 200% for each portion of the target awards. The performance stock units awarded in 2022 and 2021 associated with the cumulative EBITDA targets have been classified as liability awards because the final EBITDA target will not be set until the third year of the performance period. Consequently, these awards were included in accrued expenses and other payables on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these performance stock units is remeasured each reporting period and is recognized ratably over the service period. The performance stock units associated with the total stockholder return metric were valued at fair value on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo pricing model and were included in equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Information for restricted stock units and performance stock units is as follows:
The total fair value of shares vested during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $30.5 million, $25.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively. The Company granted 261,275 and 323,880 equivalent shares of restricted stock units and performance stock units accounted for as liability awards during 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of August 31, 2022, the Company had 591,483 equivalent shares of awards outstanding and expects 561,908 equivalent shares to vest. Stock Purchase Plan Almost all U.S. resident employees may participate in the Company's employee stock purchase plan. Each eligible employee may purchase up to 500 shares annually. The Board of Directors established a 15% purchase discount based on market prices on specified dates for 2022, 2021 and 2020. Yearly activity of the stock purchase plan was as follows:

| EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLANS | NOTE 15. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLANS Substantially all employees in the U.S. are covered by a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan. The tax qualified defined contribution plan is maintained, and contributions are made, in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The Company also provides certain eligible executives benefits pursuant to its Benefit Restoration Plan ("BRP") equal to amounts that would have been available under the tax qualified ERISA plan, but were subject to the limitations of ERISA, tax laws and regulations. Company expenses for these plans, a portion of which are discretionary, totaled $34.0 million, $47.0 million and $37.3 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of which $7.2 million, $25.5 million and $15.9 million were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the remainder was recorded in cost of goods sold in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings. The deferred compensation liability under the BRP was $43.1 million and $51.2 million at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $40.0 million and $45.4 million, respectively, was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $3.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, was included in accrued expenses and other payables on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Though under no obligation to fund the BRP, the Company has segregated assets in a trust with a value of $57.9 million and $69.4 million at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and such assets were included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The net holding loss on these segregated assets was $7.1 million in 2022, compared to a net holding gain of $10.1 million and $6.0 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was included in net sales in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings. U.K. Pension Plan Following the acquisition of Tensar, the Company assumed the TGL Pension Plan in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") ("U.K. Pension Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan. The U.K. Pension Plan provides retirement benefit payments for participating retired employees and their spouses, and was closed to new participants prior to the acquisition. Upon acquisition, the excess of projected U.K. Pension Plan assets over the U.K. Pension Plan benefit obligation was recognized as an asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and previously existing deferred actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized service costs or benefits were eliminated. The Company’s funding policy for the U.K. Pension Plan is to contribute annually the amount necessary to provide for benefits based on accrued service and meet at least the minimum contributions required by applicable regulations. U.S. Pension Plan In 2019, the Company acquired a partially funded defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. Pension Plan"), which was closed to new participants prior to the acquisition. Pension benefits associated with the U.S. Pension Plan are generally based on each participant’s years of service, compensation and age at retirement or termination. The Company’s funding policy for the U.S. Pension Plan is to contribute annually the amount necessary to provide for benefits based on accrued service and meet at least the minimum contributions required by applicable regulations. As a result of the closure of the Rancho Cucamonga facility, the Company recorded pension curtailment loss and special termination benefits of $3.2 million in 2020. For further details, refer to Note 3, Changes in Business. The following tables include a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of pension benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets resulting from the U.K. Pension Plan and the U.S. Pension Plan and the related amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2022 and 2021:
Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are detailed below:
The pension accumulated benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits based on employee service and compensation as of the measurement date and does not include an assumption about future compensation levels. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is recorded in cost of goods sold within the consolidated statements of earnings and other components of net periodic benefit costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of earnings. Components of net periodic benefit cost and other supplemental information are detailed below:
Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for 2022, 2021 and 2020 are detailed below:
__________________________________ (1) Certain weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for 2020 were remeasured at an interim date. This remeasurement resulted in an effective rate for interest on benefit obligations of 2.9% and an effective rate for service cost of 3.5%. The Company determines the discount rates used to measure liabilities as of the August 31 measurement date, which is also the date used for the related annual measurement assumptions. The discount rates reflect the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. For the U.K. Pension Plan, the Company sets its discount rate by reference to a corporate bond yield curve derived from AA rated U.K. corporate bonds. The single equivalent discount rate is derived as equivalent to applying the full yield curve approach to each future year's projected benefit cash flow. For the U.S. Pension Plan, the Company uses the full yield curve approach and sets its rates to reflect the yield of a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds that would produce cash flows sufficient in timing and amount to settle projected future benefits. The expected return assumptions are based on the strategic asset allocation of each plan and long-term capital market return expectations. For the U.K. Pension Plan, the interest cost calculation is determined by applying the single equivalent discount rate to the discounted value of the year-by-year projected benefit payments. For the U.S. Pension Plan, the Company measures interest cost using the full yield curve approach. The interest cost calculation is determined by applying duration-specific spot rates to the year-by-year projected benefit payments. Neither the single equivalent discount rate nor the full yield curve approach affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations. The Company plans to make immaterial contributions to the U.K. Pension Plan and does not expect to make any contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan in 2023. Future contributions will depend on market conditions, interest rates and other factors. Plan Assets Plan assets consist primarily of public equity, corporate and government bonds. The principal investment objectives are to achieve, over the long term, a return on the plan assets which is consistent with the assumptions made by the plan actuaries in determining the funding of the plans, to ensure that sufficient liquid assets are available to meet benefit payments as they fall due and to consider the interest of the Company in relation to the size and volatility of the Company's contribution requirements. Each asset class has broadly diversified characteristics. Asset and benefit obligation forecasting studies are conducted periodically, generally every two to three years, or when significant changes have occurred in market conditions, benefits, participant demographics or funded status. The U.K. Pension Plan's weighted average target allocation ranges and actual allocations as a percentage of plan assets, including the notional exposure of future contracts by asset categories, are detailed below:
The U.S. Pension Plan's weighted average target and actual allocations as a percentage of plan assets, including the notional exposure of future contracts by asset categories, are detailed below:
Investment Valuation Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the final business day of the year. Fixed income securities are valued at the yields currently available on comparable securities of issues with similar credit ratings. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are determined based on average cost. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Non-interest bearing cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair Value Measurements The following table sets forth the plan assets by asset class for the U.K. Pension Plan as of August 31, 2022. Level 1 assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. Level 2 assets include funds invested in bonds and fixed income securities. Level 3 assets consist primarily of Secured Finance and Multistrategy Funds that invest in debt, loan and structured financial instruments in both public and private secured finance markets. The changes in Level 3 assets related to actual return on plan assets, purchases, sales, settlements and transfers were immaterial from the Acquisition Date to August 31, 2022.
The following table sets forth the plan assets by asset class for the U.S. Pension Plan as of August 31, 2022 and 2021. All securities are traded on a national securities exchange and therefore are Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Future Pension Benefit Payments The following table provides the estimated aggregate pension benefit payments that are payable from the U.K Pension Plan and the U.S. Pension Plan to participants in future years:

| OPERATING SEGMENTS | NOTE 20. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company's operating segments engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating results for the operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to manage the business, make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess performance. The Company's CODM is identified as the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President Operations. The Company structures its business into the following two reportable segments: North America and Europe. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for more information about the reportable segments, including the types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its net sales. Corporate and Other contains earnings or losses on assets and liabilities related to the Company's BRP assets and short-term investments, expenses of the Company's corporate headquarters, interest expense related to its long-term debt and intercompany eliminations. Certain corporate administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based upon the nature of the expense. The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources.

| Subsequent Events | NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On September 15, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of Advanced Steel Recovery, LLC ("ASR"), a supplier of recycled ferrous metals located in Southern California, for a cash purchase price of approximately $48 million, net of cash acquired. ASR's primary operations include processing and brokering capabilities that source material for sale into both the domestic and export markets. ASR handles approximately 300,000 tons of scrap annually across its processing, industrial collection and brokerage platforms. The ASR acquisition is not material to the Company's 2022 financial position or results of operations, and therefore, pro forma operating results and other disclosures for the acquisition are not presented.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Consolidation | Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, income taxes, carrying value of inventory, acquisitions, goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative instruments and contingencies. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and short-term, highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration received or expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's performance obligations arise from (i) sales of raw materials, steel products, downstream products and construction-related solutions and (ii) installation services performed by its fabrication operations. The shipment of products to customers is considered a fulfillment activity and amounts billed to customers for shipping and freight are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Net sales are presented net of taxes. Revenue related to raw materials, steel products and construction-related solutions in the North America and Europe segments and downstream products in the Europe segment is recognized at a point in time concurrent with the transfer of control, which usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. Revenue related to steel fence posts and other downstream products in the North America segment not discussed below is recognized equal to billing under an available practical expedient. Each fabricated rebar contract sold by the North America segment represents a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time. For contracts where the Company provides fabricated rebar and installation services, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure of progress based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs ("input measure"). This input measure provides a reasonable depiction of the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation as there is a direct relationship between costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar and installation services. Revenue from fabricated rebar contracts where the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure of progress based on tons shipped compared to total estimated tons ("output measure"). This output measure provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of contract value to the customer, as there is a direct relationship between the units shipped by the Company and the transfer of the fabricated rebar. If total estimated costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues, costs to complete or total planned quantity is recorded in the period in which such revisions are identified. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and a liability when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although the Company generally requires customers to pay 30 days after the Company satisfies the performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined the contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the accounts receivable we estimate will not be collected based on market conditions, customers' financial condition and other factors. Historically, these allowances have not been material. The Company reviews and sets credit limits for each customer. The Europe segment uses credit insurance to ensure payment in accordance with the terms of sale. Generally, collateral is not required. Approximately 16% and 17% of total receivables at August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were secured by credit insurance.

| Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method. Elements of cost in finished goods inventory in addition to the cost of material include depreciation, utilities, consumable production inputs, maintenance, production, wages and transportation costs. Additionally, the costs of departments that support production, including materials management and quality control, are allocated to inventory.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance is expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
The Company evaluates impairment of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For each asset or group of assets held for use with indicators of impairment, the Company compares the sum of the estimated future cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets with its associated net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the excess of the net carrying value over estimated fair value is charged to impairment loss. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases The Company's leases are primarily for real property and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract if the terms state the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specific asset identified in the contract. The right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company records its ROU assets in other noncurrent assets, its current lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other payables and its noncurrent lease liabilities in other noncurrent liabilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. The Company does not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”). Certain of the Company's lease agreements include payments for certain variable costs not determinable upon lease commencement, including mileage, utilities, fuel and inflation adjustments. These variable lease payments are recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, but are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability balances. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Government Assistance | Government Assistance Government assistance, including non-monetary grants, herein collectively referred to as grants, are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions of the grant and the Company will receive the grant. Generally, government grants fall into two categories: grants related to assets and grants related to income. Grants related to assets are government grants for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of long-lived assets. The Company accounts for grants related to assets as deferred income with the offset to an asset account, such as fixed assets, on the consolidated balance sheets. Non-monetary grants are recognized at fair value. The Company recognizes the deferred income on grants related to depreciable assets in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset, which, consistent with the Company's fixed assets policy, is straight-line. The period over which grants are recognized depends on the terms of the agreement. Grants related to specific expenses already incurred are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the grant becomes receivable. Grants related to non-depreciable assets may require the fulfillment of certain obligations. In such cases, these grants are recognized in profit or loss over the periods that bear the cost of meeting the obligations. Grants related to income are any grants that are not considered grants related to assets, such as grants to compensate for certain expenses. Grants related to income are recognized as a reduction in the related expense in the period that the recognition criteria are met. See Note 10, New Markets Tax Credit Transactions.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be possible. To evaluate goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may use qualitative assessments to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, or an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessments consider multiple factors, including the current operating environment, historical and future financial performance and industry and market conditions. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and instead perform a quantitative impairment test to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit in comparison to its associated carrying value. The Company's reporting units represent an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into account industry and market conditions. The discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the reporting unit. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is indicated in the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the goodwill value for the reporting unit. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded on finite-lived intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contingencies | Contingencies The Company accrues for claims and litigation, including environmental investigation and remediation costs, when they are both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs are based upon estimates regarding the sites for which the Company will be responsible, the scope and cost of work to be performed at each site, the portion of costs that will be shared with other parties and the timing of remediation. Where timing and amounts cannot be reasonably determined, a range is estimated and the lower end of the range is recorded.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based equity and liability awards at fair value. The fair value of each stock-based equity award is estimated at the grant date using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo pricing model. Total compensation cost of the stock-based equity award is amortized over the requisite service period using the accelerated method of amortization for grants with graded vesting or the straight-line method for grants with cliff vesting. Stock-based liability awards are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and will fluctuate based on the price of CMC common stock and performance relative to the targets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes CMC and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The principal differences are described in Note 13, Income Tax. Benefits from income tax credits are reflected currently in earnings. The Company records income tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company classifies interest and any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position as income tax expense.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Foreign Currencies | Foreign Currencies The functional currency of the Company's Polish operations is the local currency, the Polish zloty ("PLN"). Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency related to continuing operations yielded a $9.6 million gain in 2022 and immaterial gains or losses in 2021 and 2020.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through net earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as hedges are recognized depending on the nature of the hedge. In the case of fair value hedges, changes are recognized as an offset against the change in fair value of the hedged balance sheet item. When the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective, changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a derivative instrument is sold, terminated, exercised or expires, the gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings for fair value hedges, and the cumulative unrealized gain or loss, which had been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, is reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings for cash flow hedges. Additionally, when hedged items are sold or extinguished, or the anticipated transaction being hedged is no longer expected to occur, the Company recognizes the gain or loss on the designated hedged financial instrument.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | Fair Value The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 represents unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 represents quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 represents valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance, which will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations. In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 aims to increase the transparency of government assistance through the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity's accounting for the assistance and the effect of the assistance on an entity's financial statements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance based on government assistance received after the effective date of this guidance.

| Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis | The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
__________________________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options. (2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or the New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivatives classified as Level 3 are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 11, Derivatives. The fair value estimate of the Level 3 commodity derivative is based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model primarily utilizing unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices ("floating rate"). The floating rate is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow model. The following table summarizes the floating rate during 2022 and 2021:

| Fair Value, Net Derivative Asset (Liability) Measured on Recurring Basis, Unobservable Input Reconciliation | Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivative recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and is the primary reason for the unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income ("OCI") in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
__________________________________ (1) Unrealized holding gains/(losses), net of foreign currency translation, less amounts reclassified are included in OCI in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. (2) (Gains)/losses included in net earnings are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of earnings.
