Net Revenues grow 62% in 1Q03 and Net Profit reaches R$ 356 million
Belo Horizonte, May 15, 2003 - Usinas Siderrgicas de Minas Gerais S/A - USIMINAS (BOVESPA: USIM3, USIM5, USIM6; OTC: USNZY), released today its first quarter 2003 results, preliminarily informed on April 11. Financial and operational information of the Company, except where otherwise mentioned, is presented based on consolidated figures in reais, according the existing Corporate Legislation Legislao Societria. All comparisons made in this release refer to the same period in 2002, except where specified differently. HIGHLIGHTS Sales and Revenues Driven by production increases and export expansion, sales volume of the Usiminas System grew 5% and totaled 1.8 million tons in 1Q03. Net revenues totaled R$ 2.1 billion, 62% above the same period of last year. The favorable performance was the result of positive development of international prices, upgrading of the product mix, as well as dollar-based exchange variations from export revenues. EBITDA Cash generation grew 155% and totaled R$ 889 million in 1Q03, reinforced by good performance of subsidiaries and associated companies. In addition to growth in revenues, productivity increases and efficient operational expense controls collaborated in the expansion of EBITDA margins, which went from 26.7% in 1Q02 to 41.9% in 1Q03. Net Income Usiminas recorded net profit of R$ 356 million in 1Q03. This result is a consequence of good operational performance and of the new production capacity level of the System, 9.2 million tons annually of raw steel, achieved in September 2002. Economy of scale gains and operational efficiency with new equipment helped to raise the net margins of the Company. Perspectives In the domestic market, demand conditions registered in the beginning of the year should persist into 2Q03, sustaining sale volume and price levels. With respect to exports, it is important to point out the shipments to China were interrupted, affecting all exporters to the region. For the second half, however, there is expectation of the resumption of steel shipments to China, as soon as the excessive inventory levels have been adjusted in the ports. In the domestic market, macroeconomic conditions may stimulate sales in the hypothesis of a decrease in interest rates and growth in the level of economic activity.

Consolidated sales grew 5% in relation to sales in 1Q02, reaching 1.8 million tons. Exports represented 25% of the total in the period. The decrease in sales volume in relation to 4Q02 was the result of strategy adopted by the Company to take maximum advantage of exceptional market conditions at the end of 2002. With favorable international prices and the dollar at its peak at the end of last year, Usiminas anticipated shipments and put off maintenance stoppages in its subsidiary Cosipa until 1Q03.

Cold rolled product sales totaled 479 thousand tons, a growth of 39%. The domestic market continued firm in 1Q03, with special mention of the auto industry and agricultural machinery and equipment. After the strong demand pressure seen at the end of the year, steel distributors also took advantage of the first months of 2003 to replenish inventories. Reflecting heated domestic demand, the mix of sales to the domestic market rose in relation to 4Q02 and reached 75%. Usiminas maintained market domestic share above 60%, in spite of increased supply of flat products from its competitors.

In the international market, sales remained stable, influenced by demand in Asian markets, especially China. With expansion already concluded at Cosipa, the Usiminas System has assured its competitive capacity in international markets with high quality products at advantageous costs. Nevertheless, compared to 4Q02, the Company earmarked a larger share of its production to domestic sales in 1Q03, taking advantage of heated demand seen in several industrial segments in Brazil.

Gross Profit
Gross profit was R$ 875 million in 1Q03, a growth of 158%. Average cost per ton rose 22%, coming to R$ 680.22. The most significant increases in cost of production were raw materials, such as coal, coke, alloys and flux powders, directly affected by the exchange rate devaluation. In addition to the exchange effect, zinc weighed more heavily on average cost due to the growth in sales of galvanized products. Gross margin went from 26% to 41%, boosted by gain in economy of scale and by the growing sales of higher valued added products.

Investments
Investments total R$ 76 million in 1Q03
Investments totaled R$ 76 million in 1Q03. Resources were earmarked basically for equipment maintenance, considering that the modernization and expansion programs at Usiminas and Cosipa have been concluded, enabling the System to operate at full capacity.
Outlook
Market conditions remain stable in 2Q03
The level of domestic demand and the maintenance of steel exports allowed the Company to sustain volume and prices in 2Q03. Usiminas is forecasting growth of 4.2% in domestic demand for flat steel this year, around 8.9 million tons. The continuation of a favorable scenario for the steel industry in the second semester in the domestic market will depend on the development of macroeconomic factors, such as the interest rate and the reduction of inflationary pressures, which will allow for growth of industrial production. In the export markets, besides the resumption of imports by China, recovery in the American economy and the results of the revision of the 201 safeguards in that market will be relevant. Revenue increase stemming from output expansion, coupled with lower pressure on costs and no need to make major investments will enable the Company to progress towards reducing indebtedness during the course of the year.
Declarations contained in this release relative to business perspectives of the Company, operating and financial results and projections, and references to the growth of the Company, constitute mere forecasts and were based on Managements expectations in relation to future performance. These expectations are highly dependent on market behavior, of Brazils economic situation, on the industry and on international markets, and are therefore subject to change. ### Usinas Siderrgicas de Minas Gerais S/A USIMINAS is na integrated steel producer, with consolidated net Sales of R$ 6.6 billion in 2002. The Usiminas System, made up of Usiminas and Cosipa and 15 other companies, has an annual production capacity of 9.2 million tones of raw steel and holds the position of domestic market leader in flat rolled steel in the auto, autoparts, agricultural and highway machinery, electrical and electronic equipment and linepipe industries.
