Chairman’s Letter

Ternium recovered strongly in 2010 from the global financial and economic crisis that affected our industry in 2009. Shipments rose 27% to a record level of 8.1 million tons and EBITDA rose to USD1.4 billion on sales of USD7.4 billion, with EBITDA per ton rising 60% to a more sustainable level of USD178. With its focus in the Americas and a net cash position, Ternium is well positioned to take advantage of markets that are growing strongly today and have solid long-term growth prospects.

With the recovery of industrial production throughout the Americas and healthy growth in the construction sector in South America, our markets grew strongly during 2010. The recovery in the automotive sectors of Mexico and Argentina, both of which grew in excess of 30% year on year, has been particularly impressive. Throughout the Americas, the value of competitive and integrated regional supply chains is increasingly recognized and this will be a major factor driving growth in our markets in the coming years.

In 2010, we moved forward with our plans for regional expansion, increasing the value added in our products and competitive differentiation. In Mexico, we began construction of new cold rolling and hot dip galvanizing facilities near Monterrey, which will begin producing high-quality galvanized and galvannealed steel sheets for Mexico’s automotive industry in 2013. To construct and operate the galvanizing facility, which will have an annual capacity of 400,000 tons, we have formed a joint venture company with Nippon Steel, who will provide proprietary technology. At the same time, we are investing in setting up new warehouses and service and distribution centers in strategic locations throughout Mexico to improve our service to the retail sector.

In Colombia, we acquired a 54% interest in Ferrasa, a steel processing and distribution concern with steelmaking capacity for long products and are moving quickly to integrate its operations, increasing capacity and productivity. Colombia today is our third largest single country market and demand for flat and long products is growing strongly. Here and in Central America we are focused on strengthening the value chain and consequently our competitive position.

In Argentina, we completed the relining of our second blast furnace and were able to operate at close to full capacity. Our expansion plans are focused on the growing automotive and construction markets, for which we are planning to revamp the cold rolling mill and install a new galvanizing line.

Our support for small and medium enterprises, both suppliers and customers, in our main markets remains an integral part of our strategy to develop sustainable growth. The program is now in its ninth year and now encompasses more that 600 companies. By improving the competitiveness of these entities through the transferring of managerial and technical skills, we help to strengthen the industrial value chain in our markets and, accordingly, sustain and increase demand for our products. Recently, the program gained recognition from the Mexican government for its commitment to the development of Mexican enterprises and contribution to the country’s economic growth.

Our safety indicators continue to improve, but we remain short of our objective to create a working environment where accidents do not happen. This can only be done by a relentless focus on safety in all our work processes and the active participation and awareness of all employees. This year, we renewed our safety policy and adopted a comprehensive medium-term safety program, which includes traditional and innovative tools inspired by steel industry best practices, as part of our commitment to continuously improving our safety performance.

We also renewed our environment policy this year, reinforcing our commitment to meeting the highest standards in environmental management and efficient use of energy and natural resources and to a continuous improvement in our performance. At the same time, we remain active participants in World Steel Association programs on climate change issues as we believe that this is a critical issue which should be addressed by the whole steel industry with full transparency and accountability. Our efforts to reduce and capture emissions at our Guerrero steel shop in Monterrey were recognized this year by the Mexican government.

Usiminas, after accompanying us for the past seventeen years in the growth and development of Ternium, decided to divest its participation to concentrate on other growth opportunities. In a transaction that was concluded in February 2011, the divested shares were acquired partly by Techint, partly by Ternium and the remainder were placed in the market. As a result, Ternium free float has increased to 24%. I would like to thank Usiminas for the continuous support they have given us over the years.

Despite the improvement in operating results, earnings per ADS declined 13% to USD3.10 in 2010 compared to the previous year, as there were no contributions from discontinued operations. However, in consideration of Ternium’s strong financial position and the recovery in market conditions, we propose to increase the annual dividend to USD0.75 per ADS for this year. If approved by shareholders, this would be distributed in June.

In 2010, Ternium responded rapidly to the recovery in its main markets, positioning the company for further growth. I would like to congratulate our employees for their efforts in another demanding year. I would also like to welcome our new colleagues from Ferrasa and to thank our customers, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support and confidence in our company.

Business Review

In 2010, business conditions in Ternium’s steel markets improved significantly from the challenging conditions experienced in 2009. As Latin American economies recovered during the year, so did sales of capital goods and consumer durables, and construction activity in South America, while construction activity remained subdued in Mexico. All in all, our core markets saw a significant expansion in steel consumption in 2010.

The increase in apparent steel demand in Ternium’s markets allowed us to achieve, by year-end, utilization rates similar to those prevailing before the global economic downturn. We operated our crude steel production facilities at relatively high utilization rates in 2010, and we also increased utilization rates at our re-rolling facilities in Mexico.

During 2010, Ternium began work for the construction of a new facility in the vicinity of Monterrey City, Mexico, which will include a cold-rolling mill and a hot-dip galvanizing plant, the latter under a joint development with Nippon Steel. This new facility is expected to serve the demanding requirements of the automotive industry in Mexico and to achieve further integration at Ternium’s steel processing facilities in the southern United States and Guatemala. In addition, in 2010 Ternium expanded its business and commercial presence in Colombia through the acquisition of a 54% ownership interest in Colombia-based Ferrasa, a flat steel processor and long steel producer with annual sales of approximately 300,000 tons. Colombia has experienced significant growth recently and is presently the fourth largest steel consuming market in Latin America.

The improved market conditions in 2010 allowed Ternium to increase its shipments by 27% year-over-year to 8.1 million tons, and to increase EBITDA by 103% year-over-year to USD1.4 billion. For the current year, we expect the NAFTA region to accelerate its growth rate, with higher industrial activity in Mexico driving local demand for steel products. We also anticipate that South America’s economies will continue to grow during the year.

North America Region

During 2010, Ternium was the leading supplier of flat steel products in Mexico and was also active in the southern United States.

Ternium’s shipments in the North America Region were higher in 2010 than in the previous year. Steel demand in the region grew at the beginning of 2010 and remained relatively flat for the rest of the year. Steel prices in North America increased during the first half of 2010, gradually declined during most of the second half of the year as steel demand was not strong enough to digest capacity restarts and additions mainly in the United States, and rebounded by year-end supported by an increase in apparent steel demand.

The economies in the North America Region expanded gradually during 2010. GDP in Mexico grew 5.3% in the year, following a strong downturn in 2009, while the US economy grew 2.9% in 2010 after falling 2.6% in 2009.

Apparent steel use in Mexico increased 13% year-over-year in 2010 to approximately 16.1 million tons. In the entire North America Region it increased 33%, as steel consumption rates in the United States and Canada showed strong recoveries following steep drops in 2009. Mexican export-oriented industries were particularly favored by the recovery of economic activity in the United States. In contrast, the construction sector in Mexico remained subdued during most of 2010 and only showed evidence of improvement by year-end.

Construction activity in Mexico decreased an estimated 0.7% year-over-year in 2010, while activity in the automotive sector increased an estimated 39.0% year-over-year, recovering from the decrease in 2009. Mexico’s growth in motor vehicle production reflected the recovery of the Mexican auto market and the strength of auto exports to the United States.

During 2010 Ternium continued running its integrated steel making facilities in the region at close to full capacity and, as steel markets recovered, increased utilization rates at its re-rolling facilities. Overall, by year-end Ternium’s Mexican facilities achieved utilization rates that were similar to those achieved before the global economic downturn. Ternium continued maximizing the use of direct reduced iron (DRI) over steel scrap in the metallic mix of its steel shops in Mexico, benefiting from relatively low natural gas prices in North America.

Ternium continued with its efforts to increase market share in Mexico’s industrial steel market by developing new products and customers and leveraging its extended network of service centers to serve one of 2010’s most dynamic sectors, which also records a relatively high participation of imports. New products included those developed for leading customers in the automotive sector’s car assembling, wheel and hydro-formed tubes manufacturers.

By year end, Ternium began works for the construction of a new facility in the vicinity of Monterrey City in Mexico, which will include a cold-rolling mill and a hot-dip galvanizing plant expected to have an annual production capacity of one million metric tons and 400,000 metric tons, respectively. With these investments, Ternium expects to serve the demanding requirements of the automotive industry in Mexico for hot-dip galvanized and galvannealed steel sheets and to expand the supply of cold rolled coils to the market and to its galvanizing facilities in the southern United States and Guatemala. In addition, the supply of hot-rolled coils to the new cold-rolling mill should enable Ternium to increase utilization rates at its hot strip mills. The galvanizing plant is being developed by Tenigal S.R.L. de C.V., a joint venture company owned 51% by Ternium and 49% by Nippon Steel. Ternium expects that the galvanizing plant will require a total investment of approximately USD350 million, while the cold-rolling mill will involve an investment of approximately USD700 million. The facility is expected to commence production in 2013.

Ternium’s capital expenditures in the region amounted to USD161 million in 2010. In addition to maintenance capital expenditures, during the year the company upgraded its cold-strip mill and invested in the development of mining activities in Mexico, among other projects.

In 2010, Ternium made progress in its plan of strengthening its distribution network in Mexico, which is aimed at increasing market share in the retail steel market segment in the country through the reinforcement and expansion of its service center and distribution infrastructure, as well as through the development of agreements with regional distributors. As part of this plan, Ternium purchased an industrial building in Mexico’s central area to develop a new warehouse and service center, and expects to complete construction of a new warehouse in Guadalajara in the first half of 2011.

In 2011, Ternium expects the NAFTA region to accelerate its growth rate. Apparent steel use is expected to grow 6.6% in Mexico in the period, with higher industrial activity driving local demand for steel products. In addition, the company expects to increase capital expenditures in the region mainly due to the development of the abovementioned new cold-rolling and hot-dip galvanizing facility.

South and Central America Region

During 2010, Ternium was the leading supplier of flat steel products in Argentina, Paraguay Uruguay, Bolivia and Central America, and kept a significant commercial presence in Chile. In addition, Ternium increased its presence in Colombia with the acquisition of Ferrasa and continued serving customers mainly in Peru and Ecuador.

Ternium’s shipments in the South and Central America Region grew in 2010, as demand for steel products recovered throughout the year. The economic activity in the region expanded during 2010, supported by strong commodity prices, recovering from subdued economic activity in 2009.

Finished steel apparent demand in our main markets in the region recovered strongly in 2010, reaching levels seen before the global economic downturn. Apparent steel use in South and Central America increased an estimated 36.4% year-over-year in 2010. Construction activity returned to solid growth rates and the automotive sector, which was among the most affected sectors in 2009, significantly expanded in 2010.

Apparent steel use – South and Central America²

^{All products (million tons)}

In Argentina, GDP increased an estimated 9.4% year-over-year in 2010, reflecting a rise in consumption and capital investment. Apparent steel demand increased 43.5% to about 4.6 million tons in the period, reflecting the recovery of that country’s economy. Construction activity increased an estimated 7.2% year-over-year in 2010, and activity in the automotive sector increased an estimated 39.8% year-over-year. Growth in motor vehicle production benefited from a stronger domestic auto market and higher exports, mainly to Brazil.

Finished steel apparent demand also increased in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Although the economies of these countries expanded in 2010, with GDP growth rates of between 4.2% and 15.3% year-over-year, higher demand in Argentina in 2010 constrained our supplying capabilities to some of these markets.

Apparent steel demand in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador was also strong. The economies of these countries expanded in 2010, recording GDP growth rates of between 3.2% and 8.8% year-over-year. During 2010, Ternium increased its business and commercial presence in Colombia through the acquisition of a 54% ownership interest in Colombia-based Ferrasa. Ferrasa has a 100% ownership interest in Sidecaldas, Figuraciones and Perfilamos del Cauca. These companies have combined annual sales of approximately 300,000 tons, including a long steel making and rolling facility with annual production capacity of approximately 140,000 tons. Ternium concurrently acquired a 54% ownership interest in Ferrasa Panamá, a long steel products processor and distributor based in Panama.

As the steel markets recovered throughout the year, in July 2010 Ternium raised the level of activity at the steel shop in Argentina to full capacity with the fire-up of a second blast furnace. Overall, Ternium’s subsidiary Siderar kept its facilities working at relatively high utilization rates during 2010.

Ternium’s capital expenditures in the region amounted to USD189 million in 2010. During the year Ternium’s subsidiary Siderar carried out several projects, including the relining of a blast furnace, progress in the capacity increase of the hot-strip mill, progress in repairs and enhancements at its coking facilities, the construction of a river port for barges, and the expansion of two service centers.

Siderar was recognized with the 2010 edition of the Argentine government’s national quality prize, granted to companies excelling in fields such as leadership, management systems, quality performance, operating performance, customer service, technology, productivity, community relations and environment care.

This year South America’s economies are expected to show strong growth. Apparent steel use in the region is expected to increase approximately 6.6% year-over-year. In addition we expect to continue growing our presence in Colombia with the full integration of Ferrasa.

Iron Ore Mining

Ternium’s mining activities are aimed at securing the supply of iron ore for our facilities in Mexico for at least a 20-year operating period. Surplus production of iron ore is commercialized to partially hedge the iron ore procurement requirements of Ternium’s facilities in Argentina.

The extraction, processing and production of iron ore is organized under two operating companies: Las Encinas, which is wholly owned by Ternium; and Peña Colorada, which is 50% owned by Ternium and 50% by ArcelorMittal. As of year-end 2010, the mining activities had a combined annual production capacity of 5.9 million tons of pellets and 0.4 million tons of concentrate surplus.

Las Encinas

The Las Encinas mining facilities include a pelletizing plant located in the community of Alzada, in Mexico’s state of Colima, which has a production capacity of 1.9 million tons per year. As of year-end 2010, Las Encinas had two active iron ore mines in Mexico: Aquila, located in Michoacán, and El Encino, located in Jalisco. During 2010 the company launched a project to revamp its grinding facilities. The works are expected to be completed during the current year.

During 2010, Ternium continued its exploration activities in its concessions in Jalisco, in an area close to Las Encinas’ current facilities. As these activities were successful, the company is currently evaluating the development of the site and the expansion of the processing facilities.

Peña Colorada

The Peña Colorada mining facilities include a two-line pelletizing plant in the Manzanillo port in Colima, with an annual production capacity of 4.0 million tons of pellets and 0.4 million tons of concentrate surplus. Of these totals, ArcelorMittal and Ternium are each entitled to receive 50% of production. The pelletizing plant is fed from a mine in the Minatitlán municipality, located in Colima. Peña Colorada continued its exploration activities in 2010 at the existing mine’s nearby areas and succeeded at increasing its iron ore resources.

-10-

In 2011, we intend to continue running Las Encinas and Peña Colorada mining facilities at full capacity, as they represent a low-cost raw material option for the production of steel. We plan to continue pursuing the expansion of our iron ore resources through exploration activities, mainly in the Jalisco and Colima areas.

Support Program for Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Ternium sponsors, as it has done for many years, a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) support program called “ProPymes.” Created by the Techint group in 2002, the program is focused on helping SMEs in the steel industry’s value chain to grow. The program’s ultimate goal is to enhance SMEs’ competitiveness and to stimulate investments in the steel industry’s value chain. To achieve this, ProPymes provides a diversity of services including training, business advisory, institutional assistance, commercial support and financial aid. In 2010, ProPymes assisted approximately 640 SMEs in Mexico and Argentina.

Ternium supervises the execution of the ProPymes programs through two departments operating under local management supervision in Mexico and in Argentina.

Mexico

Approximately 150 Mexican SMEs, including customers and suppliers, participate in ProPymes. While suppliers are selected according to their ability to competitively increase domestic value content to their products, customers are selected according to their ability to add value to the steel products and to their potential to increase exports or substitute imports.

In 2010, ProPymes strengthened the institutional network necessary for developing SMEs, increasing contact with the national government, educational bodies, industrial chambers and local economic development secretariats where Ternium’s operations are carried out. The program continued focusing on management training and industrial assistance, including the technological upgrading of facilities under the cooperation of and support from the Mexican SMEs program and ProPymes. Furthermore, ProPymes continued promoting business conventions in selected cities in Mexico in coordination with local industrial chambers in order to identify and promote new companies that are apt for being developed as steel industry suppliers.

Ternium’s efforts through ProPymes have been recognized by the secretariat of economy of Mexico, in relation to its cooperation with the under secretariat of SMEs, as an outstanding socially responsible sponsoring company committed to the development of Mexican small and mid-sized businesses and contributing to the country’s overall economic growth.

In 2011, ProPymes’ activities in Mexico are expected to continue focusing on programs aimed at strengthening SMEs’ competitiveness and ultimately helping them increase their capacity utilization rates. In addition, ProPymes plans to support projects aimed at sustainable growth and environmental management in collaboration with the Mexican government and educational bodies.

Argentina

Approximately 490 Argentine SMEs, including customers and suppliers, participate in ProPymes. These companies were selected to take part in the program based upon their management skills, their exporting profile and their growth potential, among other attributes. In 2010, the program focused on business advisory, financial aid and training. The program’s consulting area, one of ProPymes’ pillars, continued its assistance related to, among other activities, plant lay-out, production planning, quality assurance and ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certifications. In addition, in response to the increasing demand for specialized services, the program launched consultancy services in supply audits and, for the first time beyond the industrial field, in human resources and information technology.

-11-

The program’s financial assistance to SMEs in Argentina continued in 2010 and was aimed at supporting capital expenditure plans favoring improvements in productivity, increases in production capacity and updates in technology.

With the addition of special workshops in response to increasingly demanding requirements in Argentina, training activities are gradually growing in complexity. ProPymes’ training programs, comprised of SMEs employees in every category, reached a record level of attendees in 2010.

In 2011, ProPymes in Argentina intends to intensify tailored training programs to address the specific requirements of local SMEs. In addition, the program intends to strengthen its business advisory services in connection with human resources and information technology.

Product Research & Development

Product research and development activities at Ternium are conducted through a central Product Development Department in coordination with local teams that operate in several of our facilities. Applied research efforts are carried out in-house and in conjunction with universities and research centers, as well as through the participation in international consortia. Ternium also develops new products and processes in cooperation with its industrial customers.

In 2010, Ternium’s product research and development activities focused on increasing the industrial integration of its newly acquired facilities in Colombia and on the development of products aimed at increasing market share and adding value to our products. Ternium continued carrying out its medium-term product research and development plan, encompassing foreseen product requirements and associated new equipment, which it considers a key input for the design of Ternium’s capital expenditure projects and differentiating strategies.

Integration of Processes

In 2010, Ternium continued the development of processing routes aimed at integrating and increasing utilization rates at its production units and, ultimately, at replacing steel products procured from third parties with products manufactured in-house and developing new markets. For example, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated coils manufactured in our production units in Mexico were further processed in our recently acquired facilities in Colombia, targeting the Andean steel market for structural products, pressure vessels, white goods and enameled products. In addition, billets manufactured in our production units in Mexico were further processed in our hot-rolling mill in Colombia to supply the local construction steel market.

Construction Products

During 2010, Ternium developed new products for certain construction steel markets in Central America, including various types of reinforcing bars and billets. In addition, the company developed large diameter bars for the Andean market for use in mountain road infrastructure development.

Ternium expanded the product range of pre-engineered metal buildings through the development of manufacturing processes of heavy structures used in large industrial buildings. In addition, the company developed structural high-toughness hot-rolled steel for use in a mining project in Argentina.

During the year the company developed new panels in compliance with the Montreal Protocol regulations and is now able, ahead of its schedules, to manufacture panels without using foaming agents that could potentially damage the ozone layer.

-12-

Industrial Products

In 2010 we continued certifying our products with existing customers in the automotive industry in Mexico and Argentina, related to newly defined standards and new car models to be produced in these countries. In this regard, the company gained market share upon receiving customer approval of our electro-galvanized products for exposed surface and hot-rolled and cold-rolled low-carbon drawing grade steels. We also received customer approval for hot-rolled pickled and oiled structural grades for use in the wheel and hydro-formed tubes market segments.

Other products we developed in 2010 included novel silicon-killed wire rod steel grades with enhanced toughness for the manufacturing of high resistance springs used in light and heavy vehicles, hot-rolled grades for welded pipes applied in boilers and heat exchangers, painted galvanized steel sheets for air conditioners, and high strength painted cold-rolled steel for lighting fixtures.

Applied Research

Ternium’s medium-term product research and development plans are based on a continuing assessment of steel product performance and the emerging requirements of the industry, carried out in close collaboration with leading steel customers. Based on customer needs, we improve, adapt and create new applications and define future technology requirements at our facilities.

With the aim at further developing our metallurgical knowledge and its applications, we continued participating in various medium-term projects, including those relating to high-quality low-inclusion steel in association with Mexican Cinvestav; applications for the automotive industry through consortiums associated with Canadian McMaster University and the International Zinc Association, as well as in direct association with US Pittsburgh University and the Argentine Steel Institute; applications for buildings through a consortia associated with the French Corrosion Institute; and applications for the canning industry through a consortia associated with the International Tin Research Institute.

Prospective Developments

In 2011, Ternium plans to expand its product range for the automotive, pressure vessels, heavy machinery and agricultural sectors through the development of high-strength steel grades, mainly to increase market share and the value added to our products. In addition, the company expects to complete an ongoing project aimed at manufacturing high-quality low-inclusion bars for the oil and gas industry, a new product family for seamless pipe manufacturing, and expects to explore product development opportunities for application in oil and gas wells aimed at participating in the high-end coiled tubing market.

In addition, Ternium expects to implement an IT system in Mexico fully integrating product and processing route specifications among its plants. This effort should enable significant optimization in our processes and products, including increasing opportunities for productivity enhancement, cost reduction and inventory optimization.

In applied research, Ternium intends to continue developing ongoing projects with focus on several developments for the automobile and electric motor sectors, and plans to launch projects aimed at developing continuous casting processes for ultra-low carbon steel grades for application in the automobile sector. These developments should allow it to assess future technology requirements as well as to incorporate, within its product range, a new family of high-end finished steel products.

Human Resources & Communities

The improved business conditions in Ternium’s steel markets during 2010 allowed us to resume our medium-term personnel recruitment plans during that period. In addition, the acquisition of a controlling interest in Ferrasa on August 25, 2010 required introducing Ferrasa’s employees to Ternium’s human resources management directives, including payroll unification, medium-term personnel recruitment plans, management procedures and code of conduct. The number of Ternium’s employees increased to approximately 16,000 at year-end 2010, or 2,000 more employees than at year-end 2009, mainly as a result of the Ferrasa acquisition and higher activity levels.

-13-

Ternium’s training and recruiting activities during the year were mostly based on our ongoing program for recent graduates, a program that has already contributed a majority of our current management positions. Ternium’s training programs are intended to create a unique managerial profile that combines the ability to integrate into a regional culture with a global approach to business. As part of the recently launched medium-term safety program, in 2010 the training program incorporated a one-to-two month assignment to our safety department for graduates completing their initial training activities.

In addition, Ternium continued carrying out several customized courses focused on leadership, performance and technical knowledge, targeted at management, staff and operating employees. These courses are designed to train employees in the latest concepts and tools in their relevant fields, and to encourage them to achieve the highest possible levels of productivity and operating efficiency.

We also continued strengthening our financial support and contribution to key joint industry and university programs. Current initiatives include the funding of scholarship and fellowship grants and the endowed Chair sponsoring at targeted universities. Throughout the year we hosted various courses for graduate and undergraduate students and fostered conferences on technical subjects.

To complete efforts towards the excellence in its human resources, Ternium combined professional and technical training and development programs with initiatives aimed at ensuring the quality of life of its employees, in and out of the workplace. These efforts included sports and fitness fostering programs, clinical examination and disease prevention campaigns, scholarship and leisure programs for employees’ children, loan programs for home improvement and special situations, and special programs designed for employees willing to complete basic education.

Community Relations

During 2010, with a view towards consolidating long-term sustainable relationships in the communities where we operate, Ternium continued supporting a select number of high-impact programs adapted to the social and economic realities of the mining and industrial areas where we operate.

In the mining areas in Mexico, we continued financing educational infrastructure and initiatives aimed to children and adults and supporting training programs for teachers and school managers. Additionally, we continued supporting skill academies and fostering agricultural activities in order to promote the labor insertion of underprivileged community members. Among its healthcare initiatives, in 2010 the company concluded the Ternium Hospital’s third construction stage. The facility now offers general and dental health treatment, including medicine prescription services. Ternium also continued fostering activities at local communities through its sport facilities.

Ternium designed, in coordination with the Mexican national board of technical education, a technical module for the schools’ syllabus aimed at enhancing skills required in the steel industry among young technicians. In addition, the company financed infrastructure projects of educational facilities in the Monterrey area and fostered sports and cultural activities among its employees, their families and the broader community.

In Argentina, Ternium’s subsidiary Siderar continued supporting programs aimed at improving public schools located in marginal areas in the country. In addition, the company continued its program intended to reduce student drop-out rates within the communities that are located near its facilities and granted scholarships for students at risk of dropping out.

-14-

In the Ramallo and Ensenada industrial areas in Argentina, Siderar maintained its support of a program initiated in 2006 aimed at strengthening specific technical schools. This endeavor, which includes five technical schools near the facilities, focuses on the enhancement of these institutions’ technical education to match the increasingly demanding requirements of the industrial labor market. Under this program, during 2010 Siderar continued providing scholarships at its workshops as well as training in associated centers and schools.

Also, in the Ramallo industrial area, the company committed its support for the remodeling and expansion works at a medical care unit devoted mainly to the assistance of rural population in the area. Siderar also granted scholarships for high performance students and fostered sports and cultural activities for children, as well as among its employees, their families and the broader communities.

Environment, Health & Safety

During 2010, Ternium continued improving its environment, health and safety policies, reaffirming environmental protection and individual’s health and safety as a paramount value, holding its personnel responsible for the observance of this value and encouraging the promotion and sharing of these policies with the company’s value chain and with the communities where it operates. Ternium’s environment, health and safety policies abide by the World Steel Association’s policy statement and its principles for excellence in safety and occupational health, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OHSA) 18000 and ISO 14000 environmental management international standard directives.

In 2010, we continued participating in the World Steel Association forums. These forums, which are focused on sustainable development, environment, safety and occupational health, are in the process of developing consistent measurements, statistics and databases of selected variables aiming to enable steelmaking companies to benchmark performance, share state-of-the-art best practices and ultimately set improvement plans for its processes. These forums include the Climate Change Policy, Life Cycle Assessment, CO2 Data Collection Program, Water Management, Sustainability Reporting, and Safety and Occupational Health Committee groups and their working subgroups.

Ternium’s commitment toward environmental programs has once again been recognized by the World Steel Association and by GEI Mexico, a public-private nonprofit organization, for our participation in their respective greenhouse gas emission reporting programs. As of year-end 2010, all of our steelmaking and steel processing facilities in Mexico were registered with the Mexican Government’s National Environmental Voluntary Program. Under this program, two of our certified facilities were nominated within the outstanding Mexican facilities for their environmental performance. In Argentina, Ternium revalidated the ISO 14001 certificates for its local facilities as well as its clean industry certificates for selected operations.

Health and safety programs results have been encouraging. In 2010, Ternium’s average injuries frequency rate³ (IFR) and lost-time injuries frequency rate⁴ (LTIFR) continued improving, reaching new lows of 4.0 and 2.2, respectively. These measurements cover all of Ternium’s facilities and both our personnel and the personnel of third-party contractors operating in our facilities.

³ Injuries frequency rate refers to total quantity of injuries per million of hours worked.

⁴ Lost time injuries frequency rate refers to quantity of day-loss injuries per million of hours worked.

-15-

In 2010, Ternium took steps to improve its medium-term safety program, including some innovative techniques. Under the program, the company standardized safety practices across the production units, trained managers in the newly adopted best-in-industry management safety tools, and reassessed contractor obligations towards pre-defined safety programs. Inspired by the steel industry’s best safety practices, the program includes training programs, information campaigns, progressive enhancement teams and “safety hour” events, requiring managers to tour the facilities according to a predefined schedule, in order to detect unsafe conditions or practices and listen to personnel’s comments and suggestions.

Likewise, the company took steps to improve its medium-term environmental program. The new program, also inspired by the steel industry’s best practices, introduces environmental accountability of managers and includes personnel training as well as information campaigns.

Emissions Control

During 2010, we launched a project to enhance the dust collection and handling system at one steel shop in Mexico. The project is expected to be completed in 2011. In Argentina, we launched a project to reduce defuse emissions encompassing all three basic oxygen furnaces at our steel shop in that country. With two basic oxygen furnaces already enclosed during 2010, the project is expected to be concluded during 2011. In Colombia, we concluded infrastructure works to minimize the generation of waste water and we expect to start the development of a dust emission control project at Ferrasa’s steel shop in 2011. These activities are encompassed in an ongoing program that monitors and reviews the facilities, aimed at maximizing the efficient use of energy resources, the re-use of by-products and the appropriate treatment and disposal of wastes, air emissions and waste water.

-16-

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The accompanying graph shows Ternium’s estimated emission of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per ton of liquid steel produced, as reported to the World Steel Association. We support the steel industry’s ongoing effort to develop innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the lifecycle of steel products. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the steel industry accounts for approximately 3% to 4% of total world GHG emissions.

Carbon Dioxide Emission

(ton/ton of liquid steel)

Our steel production facilities in Mexico have achieved GHG-specific emission levels that are close to the theoretical minimum. In Argentina, Siderar’s GHG-specific emission levels are close to the industry average for blast furnace technology. Our Guerrero steel production unit in Mexico has been recognized by the state government for its high GHG capture levels.

Other Initiatives

In Mexico, the company implemented a flora and fauna rescue plan in preparation for the construction of a new plant. The works were carried out in collaboration with a local university and specialists, and in compliance with the resolutions issued by Mexican environmental authorities.

Net sales in 2010 were USD7.4 billion, 49% higher than net sales in 2009. Shipments of flat and long products were 8.1 million tons in 2010, up 27% compared to shipments in 2009. Revenue per ton shipped was USD895 in 2010, an 18% increase compared to 2009, mainly as a result of higher prices. Shipments and revenue per ton in 2009 were significantly impacted by the global economic downturn during the period.

In 2010, steel consumption in the North American market increased 31% year-over-year. The economies in the NAFTA region expanded gradually during the year with a 4.0% GDP growth in Mexico and a 2.9% GDP growth in the US. Mexican export-oriented industries were particularly favored by the recovery of the economic activity in the United States. In contrast, the construction sector in the country remained subdued during most of 2010 and only showed evidence of improvement by year-end.

Likewise, the steel markets in Central and South America showed an estimated 28% year-over-year increase in apparent steel use during 2010.

The economic activity in the region expanded during 2010, including a 7.5% GDP growth in Argentina and a 4.7% GDP growth in Colombia. Construction activity in the region returned to solid growth rates and the automotive sector, which was among the most affected sectors in 2009, significantly expanded in 2010.

Sales of flat products in 2010 totaled USD6.4 billion, a 50% increase compared to 2009. Net sales increased as a result of higher shipments and revenue per ton. Shipments of flat products totaled 6.8 million tons in 2010, an increase of 28% compared to 2009 mainly due to a recovery from the 2009 global economic downturn. Revenue per ton shipped increased 18% to USD942 in 2010 compared to 2009, mainly due to higher steel prices in Ternium’s main steel markets.

Sales of long products were USD833.1 million in 2010, an increase of 45% compared to 2009, mainly due to higher volumes and prices. Shipments of long products totaled 1.3 million tons in 2010, a 22% increase versus 2009. Revenue per ton shipped was USD649 in 2010, an increase of 20% compared to 2009 due to higher prices.

Sales of other products totaled USD172.5 million in 2010, compared to USD136.1 million during 2009, an increase of 27%. The increase includes the effect of higher iron ore prices.

Sales of flat and long products in the North America Region were USD4.1 billion in 2010, an increase of 42% versus 2009 due to higher shipments and prices. Shipments in the region totaled 4.8 million tons in 2010, or 19% higher than 2009, as a result of higher demand. Revenue per ton in the North Region increased 19% to USD851 in 2010 over 2009, mainly due to higher prices.

Flat and long product sales in the South & Central America Region were USD3.1 billion in 2010, an increase of 72% versus 2009, due to higher shipments and prices. Shipments in the region totaled 3.1 million tons in 2010, or 55% higher than in 2009, mainly due to a recovery from the 2009 global economic downturn. Revenue per ton shipped was USD973 in 2010, an increase of 11% compared to 2009.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales was USD5.7 billion in 2010, compared to USD4.1 billion in 2009. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of higher shipments and higher cost per ton. Cost per ton in 2010 increased compared to 2009 mainly due to higher raw material and purchased slab prices, as well as higher labor, services and maintenance costs.

Energy prices for our operations in Mexico, mainly natural gas and electricity, increased year-over-year in 2010 following the trend in the US energy markets. Energy prices for our operations in Argentina, mainly coal, petroleum coke and to a lesser extent natural gas, decreased year-over-year in 2010 primarily due to a significant reduction in contractual coal prices in the second half of 2009 and first half of 2010. Our operations in Argentina are less exposed to electricity prices as they have self-generating capabilities for a large share of its consumption.

[5] Primarily includes iron ore, pig iron and pre-engineered metal buildings.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses

SG&A expenses in 2010 were USD665.3 million, or 9% of net sales, compared to USD531.5 million, or 11% of net sales, in 2009. The USD133.8 million increase in SG&A was mainly due to higher freight expenses and taxes related to higher activity levels, higher labor costs and the effect of the consolidation of Ferrasa on August 25, 2010, partially offset by lower personnel reduction charges.

Operating income and EBITDA^{^{^[6]}}

Operating income in 2010 was USD1.1 billion, or 14% of net sales, compared to an operating income of USD296.4 million, or 6% of net sales, in 2009. The increase was mainly due to higher sales prices and volumes, partially offset by higher costs of sales. EBITDA in 2010 was USD1.4 billion, or 20% of net sales, compared to USD708.5 million, or 14% of net sales, in 2009. The increase in Ternium’s EBITDA margin in 2010 as compared to 2009 was mainly the result of higher steel prices, partially offset by higher operating costs per ton.

Net financial results

Ternium recorded a net financial gain of USD130.5 million in 2010, compared to a $132.9 million gain in 2009.

In 2010, Ternium’s net interest expenses were USD45.6 million, compared to USD84.7 million in 2009, mainly as a result of lower net indebtedness and cost of debt.

Ternium had a net foreign exchange gain of USD123.7 million in 2010, compared to a gain of USD83.1 million in 2009. The 2010 gain was primarily due to the impact of the Mexican Peso’s 5.4% revaluation on Ternium’s Mexican subsidiary’s US dollar denominated debt. This result is non-cash when measured in US dollars and is offset by changes in Ternium’s net equity position in the currency translation adjustments line, as the value of Ternium México’s US dollar denominated debt is not altered by the Mexican Peso’s fluctuation when stated in US dollars in Ternium’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with IFRS, Ternium México prepares its financial statements in Mexican Pesos and records foreign exchange results on its net non-Mexican Peso positions when the Mexican Peso revaluates or devaluates relative to other currencies.

Interest income on the Sidor financial asset recognized in connection with the transfer of Sidor shares on May 7, 2009, was USD61.0 million in 2010, compared to USD136.0 million in 2009.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for 2010 was USD406.7 million, or 34% of income before income tax, discontinued operations and non-controlling interest, compared to USD91.3 million in 2009, or 21% of income before income tax, discontinued operations and non-controlling interest. The 2009 result included a non-recurring gain of USD35.4 million due to a favorable resolution of a tax-related dispute in Mexico.

Net result of discontinued operations

There were no results of discontinued operations in 2010, while 2009 included a USD428.0 million gain as a result of the transfer of Sidor shares to the Venezuelan government on May 7, 2009.

Income attributable to non-controlling interest

Income attributable to non-controlling interest in 2010 was USD157.4 million, higher than income attributable to non-controlling interest of USD49.7 million in 2009, mainly due to a higher result attributable to non-controlling interest in Siderar and Ternium México.

[6] EBITDA in 2010 equals operating income of US$1.1 billion plus depreciation and amortization of US$383.3 million.

-26-

Liquidity and financial resources

Ternium’s financing strategy is to maintain adequate financial resources in hand and access to additional liquidity to achieve its objective of maximizing financial flexibility at a reasonable cost. On August 25, 2010, Ternium acquired a controlling interest in Ferrasa. Other capital expenditures in the period were limited to brown-field projects. During the year, Ternium only accessed the banking market to obtain short-term bank financing for working capital purposes, relying largely on cash flow from operations as it principal source of funding.

We are confident that our cash flow from operations and our access to external borrowings are sufficient to meet our needs for working capital and that we have ample debt coverage to service our obligations for the foreseeable future. We believe that our liquidity and access to capital and international bank markets give us significant flexibility to execute our planned capital expenditures and to carry out strategic acquisitions if such opportunities arise.

Ternium holds money market investments and variable-rate or fixed-rate securities from investment grade issuers. The company concentrates cash in major financial centers, mainly New York. Ternium holds cash primarily in US dollars and limits its holdings of other currencies to the minimum required to fund its cash operating needs. Liquid financial assets as a whole represented 23.6% of its total assets at the end of 2010 or USD2.6 billion.

Historical cash flow

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was USD806.8 million, compared to USD1.2 billion in 2009. While operating income was USD757.6 million higher in 2010 than in 2009, there also was a USD448.0 million increase in working capital in 2010 compared to a USD635.2 million decrease in working capital in 2009. The increase in working capital in 2010 included an increase of USD497.4 million in inventory and an aggregate USD149.3 million increase in trade and other receivables, partially offset by an aggregate USD198.7 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities. Inventories increased in 2010, reflecting higher costs as a result of higher input prices, as well as higher inventory volume of finished goods, goods in process and raw materials as a result of increased operating activity. The decrease in working capital in 2009 included a USD429.1 million decrease in inventories and an aggregate USD308.9 million decrease in trade and other receivables, partially offset by an aggregate USD102.9 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities. Inventories decreased in 2009 as a result of lower input costs, as well as lower inventory volume of finished goods, goods in process and raw materials.

Principal sources of funding

Funding policy

Ternium’s policy is to maintain a high degree of flexibility in operating and investing activities by maintaining adequate liquidity levels and ensuring access to readily available sources of financing. Most of Ternium’s financing is conducted in US dollars. Ternium selects the type of facility, associated rate and term after considering the intended use of proceeds.

Financial liabilities

Ternium’s borrowings as of December 31, 2010, consisted mainly of different bank loans and facilities. Outstanding financial debt amounted to USD1.9 billion at year end, compared to USD2.3 billion as of December 31, 2009, a decrease of USD0.4 billion. Ternium’s net cash position of USD0.7 billion as of December 31, 2010 (cash and cash equivalents plus other investments of USD2.6 billion less borrowings of USD1.9 billion) increased by USD0.9 billion compared to net debt of USD0.2 billion as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2010, Ternium’s outstanding financial debt US dollar-denominated portion and floating-rate portion were 92.1% and 99.3%, respectively. Ternium entered into derivative instruments to manage the impact of the floating interest rate changes on its financial debt. At December 31, 2010, these instruments, consisting of interest rate collars and knock-in swaps for an aggregate contractual amount of USD894.8 million, had an aggregate negative fair value of USD54.7 million. At December 31, 2010, the weighted average interest rate of Ternium’s outstanding financial debt, including the cost related to derivative instruments, was 3.29%.
