The steel shipments by the company surged 4% over the sequential quarter to total around 3 million tonnes.

On a year-on-year basis, shipments in the first quarter witnessed a decline of 5%. Also, the volume of slabs shipped to third parties decline on a sequential and year-on-year basis, due to integration of the company’s slab facility in Brazil.

Ternium expects EBITDA to sequentially increase in the second quarter of the year, primarily due to an increase in realized steel prices and anticipated further growth in steel shipments.
