Results by Segment

The Company maintains integrated operations in five business segments: Steel, Mining, Logistics, Cement and Energy. 

The main assets and/or companies comprising each segment are presented below:

Notes: As of 2013, the Company ceased the proportional consolidation of its jointly-owned subsidiaries Namisa, MRS and CBSI. For the purpose of preparing and presenting the information by business segment, Management opted to maintain the proportional consolidation of its jointly-owned subsidiaries, in line with historical data. In the reconciliation of CSN’s consolidated results, these companies’ results are eliminated in the “Corporate Expenses/Elimination” column.

Since the end of 2015 , after the combination of CSN’s mining assets (Casa de Pedra, Namisa and Tecar), the consolidated results have included all the data related to this new company.
