Exhibit 99.1
Highlights in the second quarter of 2015
2Q15 Highlights
· Consolidated EBITDA and EBITDA margin were flat, despite oversupply in the world steel industry and adverse economic conditions in Brazil.
· Higher shipments and a better metal spread at the North America Business Operation in 2Q15 partially offset the weaker performance of the Brazil Business Operation, when compared to 1Q15.
· Reduction of 6.4% in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period last year.
· Net Debt/EBITDA ratio stable at 3.1 times, compared to March 2015.
· Reduction of nine days in the cash conversion cycle compared to March 2015, mainly due to the reduction in inventories and the effects from exchange variation.

World Steel Market
· On April 20, 2015, World Steel Association released its latest Short Range Outlook containing forecasts for global apparent steel consumption in 2015 and 2016, in which it estimated growth of 0.5% and 1.4%, respectively. The association expects moderate demand growth, which is explained by deceleration in China and the influence of structural adjustments in most economies due to limited investment growth post-2008. Apparent steel consumption in China is projected to contract by 0.5% in both 2015 and 2016, given the rebalancing of the economy for a new stage of development. Demand growth in emerging and developing economies (excluding China) should remain weak in 2015, though positive growth is expected in certain economies, such as India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Egypt, where local steel markets are still developing. In these economies, apparent steel consumption should grow by 2.4% in 2015 and 4.0% in 2016. Growth in developed economies should be moderate in 2015, due to the strong base and the less favorable environment for steel in certain countries. The recovery in the European Union remains moderate, given the low investment activity and high unemployment. Apparent steel consumption in developed economies is expected to grow by 0.2% in 2015 and 1.8% in 2016.

· Consolidated net sales increased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, reflecting the effects from exchange variation, despite the lower shipments in the period. Compared to 1Q15, consolidated net sales increased, mainly due to higher shipments.
· On a consolidated basis, gross profit and gross margin decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, due to the weaker performance of the Brazil BO, which was partially offset by the better performance of the North America BO, reflecting the Companys geographic diversification. Compared to 1Q15, consolidated gross profit and gross margin increased, mainly due to the better performance of the North America BO, which more than offset the lower gross margin at the Brazil BO.

(1) - Includes the results from jointly controlled entities and associate companies based on the equity income method.
· In 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, the relative stability in the financial result reflects the positive exchange variation on liabilities contracted in U.S. dollar (appreciation in the end-of-period price of the Brazilian real against the U.S.
3
dollar of 3.3% in 2Q15, versus appreciation of 2.7% in 2Q14) and the higher financial expenses resulting from the increase in gross debt in the comparison periods.
· The lower negative financial result in 2Q15 compared to 1Q15, is mainly explained by the higher negative exchange variation in 1Q15 (appreciation in the end-of-period price of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar of 3.3% in 2Q15 versus depreciation of 20.8% in 1Q15).
· Note that, in accordance with IFRS, the Company designated the bulk of its debt in foreign currency contracted by companies in Brazil as hedge for a portion of the investments in subsidiaries located abroad. As a result, only the effect from exchange variation on the portion of debt not linked to investment hedge is recognized in the financial result, with this effect neutralized by the line Income and Social Contribution taxes on net investment hedge.
· Consolidated net income decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, mainly due to lower operating income and higher financial expenses. Compared to 1Q15, the relative stability in net income was due to the operating income growth offsetting the higher income tax.
Dividends
· Gerdau S.A., based on the results in 2Q15, approved the prepayment of the minimum mandatory dividend, in the form of interest on capital, of R$ 84.3 million (R$ 0.05 per share).
Payment date: September 4, 2015
Record date: close of trading on August 24, 2015
Ex-dividend date: August 25, 2015
· In the first six months of 2015, Gerdau S.A. distributed R$ 185.5 million in the form of interest on capital.
Investments
· In 2Q15, investments in CAPEX amounted to R$ 648.2 million. Of the amount invested in the quarter, 41.2% was allocated to the Brazil BO, 27.8% to the Latin America BO, 15.1% to the Special Steel BO, 12.6% to the North America BO and 3.3% to the Iron Ore BO.
Working Capital and Cash Conversion Cycle
· In June 2015, the cash conversion cycle (working capital divided by daily net sales in the quarter) decreased in relation to March 2015, reflecting the 6.0% decrease in working capital, mainly due to the reduction in inventories and the effects from exchange variation, which compares with the 3.0% increase in net sales.

· Crude steel production increased in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15, reflecting the higher production of semi-finished products for export. On the other hand, rolled steel production declined in both comparison periods, reflecting the adjustment to the weaker level of demand in the Brazilian steel market.
· Shipments in the domestic market in 2Q15 decreased compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15, reflecting the weaker growth in the construction and manufacturing industries due to economic uncertainties. Higher exports offset the lower shipments in the domestic market in the comparison periods.

(1) - Includes coking coal and coke net sales.
· The lower net sales in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15 was mainly due to lower shipments in the domestic market, despite the improvement in net sales per tonne sold. The increase in export shipments did not offset the reduction in net sales from the domestic market, given the lower prices practiced in the international market.
7
· Cost of goods sold decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, accompanying the lower shipments in the period. The decrease in net sales at a faster pace than the decrease in cost of goods sold led to gross margin compression in the period. Compared to 1Q15, the decrease in gross margin is mainly explained by the lower margins on exports.
· EBITDA and EBITDA margin in 2Q15 accompanied the declines in gross profit and gross margin in comparison with both 2Q14 and 1Q15.

· Production decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, due to the lower shipments and efforts to optimize inventories. Compared to 1Q15, the increase in production was mainly due to the higher shipments.
· Shipments decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, due to strong shipments recorded in 2Q14 (pent-up volumes in 1Q14 due to the severe winter) and the pressure from imported products in the region. Compared to 1Q15, the growth in shipments mainly reflects the ongoing improvement in demand from the non-residential construction industry.

· Net sales increased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, mainly due to the effect from exchange variation (37.8% depreciation in the average price of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar), despite the lower shipments. Compared to 1Q15, net sales increased, due to higher shipments and the effect from exchange variation in the period (7.1% depreciation in the average price of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar), despite the lower net sales per tonne sold in U.S. dollar.
· Cost of goods sold increased in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15 at a slower pace than the increase in net sales, due to lower scrap costs, which supported gross margin expansion in the comparison periods. Specifically compared to 1Q15, the growth in shipments and resulting dilution of fixed costs also supported gross margin expansion in 2Q15.
· The higher EBITDA recorded in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15 is explained by the increase in gross profit, which supported EBITDA margin expansion.

· Net sales and cost of goods sold increased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, which is explained by the effect from exchange variation resulting from the depreciation in the average price of the Brazilian real against the currencies of the countries where Gerdau operates. Compared to 1Q15, the decrease in net sales and cost of goods sold was also due to the effects from exchange variation, though, in this case, due to the appreciation in the average price of the Brazilian real against the other currencies.
· Gross margin decreased in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15, mainly due to the decline in international prices.
· EBITDA and EBITDA margin remained relatively flat in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, despite the decrease in gross margin, by the reduction on operating expenses. Compared to 1Q15, EBITDA and EBITDA margin decreased, accompanying the performance of gross profit and gross margin.

· Net sales increased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, despite lower shipments, due to the effects from exchange variation on shipments at the units abroad and the increase in net sales per tonne sold at the units in Brazil. Compared to 1Q15, net sales remained relatively flat, with varying performances in the different regions in which Gerdau has operations.
· Cost of goods sold increased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, mainly due to the effects from exchange variation on special steel operations at the units abroad, despite the lower shipments. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the lower dilution of fixed costs and the less favorable geographic mix. Compared to 1Q15, cost of goods sold increased, mainly due to the effects from exchange variation. The decrease in gross margin in 2Q15 compared to 1Q15 is mainly explained by the less favorable geographic mix.

· Net sales decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, which is explained by lower prices and lower iron ore shipments to third parties. Compared to 1Q15, the increase in net sales was mainly due to higher shipments.
· Cost of goods sold decreased in 2Q15 compared to 2Q14, due to lower shipments to third parties. Gross margin increased due to the better sales mix, with higher shipments to Gerdau units, and due to better cost of good sold. Compared to 1Q15, the gross margin expansion reflects the higher shipments to Gerdau units and opportunities for shipments to third parties in the domestic market.
· The variations in EBITDA and EBITDA margin in 2Q15 compared to both 2Q14 and 1Q15 accompanied the performance of gross profit and gross margin in the comparison periods.

Gerdau Day - NYSE
· On June 12, 2015, Gerdau held its first Gerdau Day event on the New York Stock Exchange, which attracted 91 participants from various areas: investors, sell-side analysts, fixed income analysts, investment bankers, etc. During the event, the public had an opportunity to learn about the strategy of Gerdaus management and to ask questions about the evolution in the companys various markets.
Advances in simplifying processes and the ownership structure
· As part of the initiatives required to adapt Gerdau to todays highly competitive environment and to make progress in simplifying processes and the ownership structure, on July 14, the Company announced the following decisions:
· Change in the structure of the Business Operations: (a) the operations in Mexico and the Joint Ventures in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Mexico will become part of the North America Business Operation, which is currently formed by the long steel operations in Canada and the United States; (b) creation of the South America Business Operation, which will be formed by the long steel operations in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay; (c) the Iron Ore operations will become part of the Brazil Business Operation, which is currently formed by the long and flat steel operations in Brazil and the metallurgical coal and coke operations in Colombia; (d) the Special Steel Business Operation will remain unchanged, which is formed by the special steel operations in Brazil, Spain, United States and India. These changes will be presented as of the earnings release for 3Q15;
· Gerdau S.A. will analyze the mergers of Seiva S.A. Florestas e Indústrias, Gerdau América Latina Participações S.A. and Itaguaí Comércio, Importação e Exportação Ltda. during the second half of 2015;
· The acquisition of minority interests in operating companies to support their future merger, based on a long-term view,
· Acquisition of minority shares in operating companies to support their future merger, based on a long-term vision, with benefits from the consolidation including the receipt of dividends, lower costs due to the simpler corporate structure and improving the companys agility in the capital markets, such as tapping the bond market as a registered issuer. By concentrating these companies in Gerdau S.A., which already reports quarterly financial statements, we will significantly increase the speed with which we carry out international debt placements, which, given the volatility in these markets, could represent an important long-term reduction in debt costs.
