GRUPO SIMEC ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY (UNAUDITED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, February 27, 2009- Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V. (AMEX:SIM)
("Simec") announced today its preliminary (unaudited) results of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2008.
Acquisition of Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V.
On February 21, 2008, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares
of Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V. and certain of its affiliates ("Grupo
San"), and on May 30, 2008 said acquisition was consummated. Grupo San is a long
products steel mini-mill and the second-largest corrugated rebar producer in
Mexico. Grupo San's operations are based in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Its plants
and 1,450 employees produce 600 thousand tons of finished products annually.
With this acquisition, Simec and Industrias CH, S.A.B. de C.V. ("ICH") position
themselves as the second-largest producer of rebar and the largest steel
producer in Mexico, with a production capacity of approximately 4.5 million tons
of liquid steel and 3.8 million tons of finished products.
With this strategic acquisition, Simec and ICH will achieve a more diversified
product mix, with 40% of sales in Mexico and 60% outside Mexico, both of which
will allow them to better address the natural cycles of the steel industry on
the domestic and global levels. Additionally, Simec has already identified
significant synergies and economies of scale that will increase the company's
operating margins. Grupo San's central location in San Luis Potosi, where Simec
is not currently present, also represents a strong competitive advantage since
it provides several strategic benefits mainly related to distribution, given its
proximity to Mexico's main cities, sea ports, and borders.
In addition, Grupo San has aggressive expansion plans in its rebar business,
which ICH and Simec will support and promote to satisfy the growing demand for
this product, resulting from the Mexican government's aggressive infrastructure
plan.
The financial statements of Simec include the operations of Grupo San since June
1, 2008.
Pursuant to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards "Bulletin B-7 Acquisitions of
Business," Simec is in the process of calculating the goodwill and other
intangible assets in the acquisition of Grupo San; as of December 31, 2008,
Simec registered the adjustment of the intangible assets and we are in the
process to determining the adjustment of the fixed assets.
Year Ended December 31, 2008 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Net Sales
Net sales increased 46% to Ps. 35,187 million in 2008 (including the net sales
generated by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 2,666 million)
compared to Ps. 24,106 million in 2007. Shipments of finished steel products
increased 9% to 2 million 924 thousand tons in 2008 (including the net sales
generated by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of 261 thousand tons)
compared to 2 million 693 thousand tons in 2007. Total sales outside of Mexico
in 2008 increased 44% to Ps. 24,472 million (including the net sales generated
by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 98 million) compared with Ps.
17,031 million in 2007, while total Mexican sales increased 51% from Ps. 7,075
million in 2007 to Ps. 10,715 million in 2008 (including the net sales generated
by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 2,496 million). The increase in
sales can be explained due to higher shipments during 2008, compared with 2007
(231,000 tons increase) and 34% increase in the average price of steel products.
Direct Cost of Sales
Direct cost of sales increased 44% from Ps. 20,499 million in 2007 to Ps. 29,585
million in 2008 (including the cost of sales generated by the newly acquired
plants of Grupo San of Ps. 1,340 million). Direct cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales represented 84% in 2008 compared to 85% in 2007. The increase in
the direct cost of sales is attributable mainly to an increase of 33% in the
average cost of raw materials used to produce steel products in 2008 versus
2007, primarily as a result of increases in the price of scrap and certain other
raw materials, as well as a 9% increase in shipments.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in 2008 was Ps. 5,602 million (including the gross profit generated
by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 1,326 million) compared to Ps.
3,607 million in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in 2008 was 16%
compared to 15% in 2007. This increase in gross profit was principally due to an
increase of 9% in sales volume.
Operating Expenses

operating expenses from the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 605

registered by the acquisition of Grupo San) compared to Ps. 1,423 million in
2007 and represented 7% of net sales in 2008 and 6% of net sales in 2007.
Operating Profit
Operating profit increased 46% to Ps. 3,195 million in 2008 (including the
operating profit from the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 721 million)
compared to Ps. 2,184 million in 2007. Operating profit as a percentage of net

profit was due principally to an increase of 9% in sales volume and an increase
of 34% in the average price of steel products.

compared with a gain of Ps. 41 million in 2007. Net interest income was Ps. 77
million in 2008 compared with net interest income of Ps. 274 million in 2007,
reflecting the use of cash and debt for the acquisition of Grupo San. At the
same time, we registered an exchange loss of Ps. 203 million in 2008 compared
with an exchange loss of Ps. 38 million in 2007, reflecting a 25% increase in

DIRECTOR REPORT
CONSOLIDATED
Acquisition of Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V.
On February 21, 2008, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares
of Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V. and certain of its affiliates ("Grupo
San"), and on May 30, 2008 said acquisition was consummated. Grupo San is a long
products steel mini-mill and the second-largest corrugated rebar producer in
Mexico. Grupo San's operations are based in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Its plants
and 1,450 employees produce 600 thousand tons of finished products annually.
With this acquisition, Simec and Industrias CH, S.A.B. de C.V. ("ICH") position
themselves as the second-largest producer of rebar and the largest steel
producer in Mexico, with a production capacity of approximately 4.5 million tons
of liquid steel and 3.8 million tons of finished products.
With this strategic acquisition, Simec and ICH will achieve a more diversified
product mix, with 40% of sales in Mexico and 60% outside Mexico, both of which
will allow them to better address the natural cycles of the steel industry on
the domestic and global levels. Additionally, Simec has already identified
significant synergies and economies of scale that will increase the company's
operating margins. Grupo San's central location in San Luis Potosi, where Simec
is not currently present, also represents a strong competitive advantage since
it provides several strategic benefits mainly related to distribution, given its
proximity to Mexico's main cities, sea ports, and borders.
In addition, Grupo San has aggressive expansion plans in its rebar business,
which ICH and Simec will support and promote to satisfy the growing demand for
this product, resulting from the Mexican government's aggressive infrastructure
plan.
The financial statements of Simec include the operations of Grupo San since June
1, 2008.
Pursuant to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards "Bulletin B-7 Acquisitions of
Business," Simec is in the process of calculating the goodwill and other
intangible assets in the acquisition of Grupo San; as of December 31, 2008,
Simec registered the adjustment of the intangible assets and we are in the
process to determining the adjustment of the fixed assets.
Year Ended December 31, 2008 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Net Sales
Net sales increased 46% to Ps. 35,187 million in 2008 (including the net sales
generated by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 2,666 million)
compared to Ps. 24,106 million in 2007. Shipments of finished steel products
increased 9% to 2 million 924 thousand tons in 2008 (including the net sales
generated by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of 261 thousand tons)
compared to 2 million 693 thousand tons in 2007. Total sales outside of Mexico
in 2008 increased 44% to Ps. 24,472 million (including the net sales generated
by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 98 million) compared with Ps.
17,031 million in 2007, while total

in 2008 (including the net sales generated by the newly acquired plants of Grupo
San of Ps. 2,496 million). The increase in sales can be explained due to higher

million in 2008 (including the cost of sales generated by the newly acquired
plants of Grupo San of Ps. 1,340 million). Direct cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales represented 84% in 2008 compared to 85% in 2007. The increase in
the direct cost of sales is attributable mainly to an increase of 33% in the

2007, primarily as a result of increases in the price of scrap and certain other
raw materials, as well as a 9% increase in shipments.

by the newly acquired plants of Grupo San of Ps. 1,326 million) compared to Ps.

of 34% in the average price of steel products.

compared with a gain of Ps. 41 million in 2007. Net interest income was Ps. 77

GRUPO SIMEC, S.A.B. DE C.V.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES
CONSOLIDATED
(1) Operations preparation bases and summary of significant accounting policies:
Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. and its Subsidiaries ("the Company") are subsidiaries
of Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), and their main activities consist of the
manufacturing and sale of steel products primarily destined for the construction
sector of Mexico and other countries.
Significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Companies which
affect the principal captions of the financial statements are described below:
a. Financial statement presentation - Below is a summary of the most significant
accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements, in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards
(MFRS), which include Bulletins and Circulars issued by the Accounting
Principles Commission (CPC) of the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants
(IMCP) which have not been amended, replaced or abrogated by MFRS issued by the
Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Research and Development Board (Consejo
Mexicano para la Investigacion y Desarrollo de Normas de Informacion Financiera,
A.C. (CINIF).
b. Principles of Consolidation - As part of the financial debt restructuring
agreement into during 1997, Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V.
("CSG") assumed all of the debt of the Company in return for an equity interest
in its subsidiaries. As a result of the above, the Company is the principal
shareholder of CSG, and CSG is the principal shareholder of the other
subsidiaries that Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. ("Simec") controlled before the
restructuring.
The main subsidiaries of CSG are the following:
o Compania Siderurgica de California, S.A. de C.V.
o Industrias del Acero y del Alambre, S.A. de C.V.
o Pacific Steel Inc.
o SimRep Corporation and PAV Republic and Subsidiaries
o Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
c. Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers short-term investments with
original maturities not greater than three months to be cash equivalent. Cash
equivalents include temporary investments and Mexican Government Treasury Bonds,
and are stated at market value, which approximates cost plus earned interest.
Any increase in market value is credited to operations for the period.
d. Inventories - Domestic subsidiaries' inventories are recorded initially at
average cost under the direct costing system. Foreign subsidiaries' inventories
are valued on a last-in, first-out (LIFO). For translation effects into MFRS the
inventories have been adjusted from LIFO to average cost under the direct
costing system.
Billet finished goods and work in process, raw materials and materials, supplies
and rollers - At the average cost.
The Company presents as non-current inventories the rollers and spare parts,
which according to historical data and production trends will not be used within
a one-year period.
e. Derivative financial instruments - The Company is using derivative financial
instruments for hedging risks associated with natural gas prices and conducted
studies on historical consumption, future requirements and commitments; thus it
avoided exposure to risks other than the normal operating risks. Management of
the Company examines its financial risks by continually analyzing price, credit
and liquidity risks.
The Company uses futures contracts for hedging risks from fluctuations in
natural gas prices, which are based on demand and supply at the principal
international markets.
As applicable, the Company recognized the fair value of instruments either as
liabilities or assets. Such fair value and thus, the value of these assets or
liabilities were restated at each month's-end. The Company opted for the early
adoption of Bulletin C-10 "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging";
therefore, at December 31, 2003 the fair value of natural gas in force during
2004, 2005 and 2006 and which effective portions will not be offset against the
asset risks until consumed, were recognized within the comprehensive income
account in stockholders' equity.
f. Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment of domestic
origin are restated by using factors derived from The National Consumer Price
Index ("NCPI") from the date of their acquisition, and imported machinery and
equipment are restated by applying devaluation and inflation factors of the
country of origin, until December 31, 2007. Depreciation recorded in the
consolidated statement of income (loss) is computed based upon the estimated
useful life and the restated cost of each asset. In addition, Financial expense
incurred during the construction period is capitalized as construction in
progress. The estimated useful lives of assets as of December 31, 2008 are as
follows:
Years
-----
Buildings .......................................... 15 to 50
Machinery and equipment ............................ 10 to 40
Buildings and improvements (Republic) .............. 10 to 25
Land improvements (Republic) ....................... 5 to 25
Machinery and equipment (Republic) ................. 5 to 20
g. Other assets - Organization and pre-operating expenses are capitalized and
their amortization is calculated by the straight-line method over a period of 20
years.
h. Seniority premiums and severance payments - According to Federal Labor Law,
employees are entitled to seniority premiums after fifteen years or more of
services. These premiums are recognized as expenses in the years in which the
services are rendered, using actuarial calculations based on the projected unit
credit method, and since 1996 by applying real interest and salary increases.
Any other payments to which employees may be entitled in case of separation,
disability or death, are charged to operations in the period in which they
become payable.
i. Pension plan - Until 1995, the Company provided pension benefits for all
personnel with a minimum of 10 years of service and 35 years of age. The Company
had established an irrevocable trust for its contributions, which were based on
actuarial calculations. In December 1995, the board of directors of the Company,
in agreement with the trade union, discontinued these benefits and related
contributions to the trust fund. This decision was made because of the new
Mexican pension fund system, Administradoras de Fondos para el Retiro,
which establishes similar benefits for the employees. The balance of the trust
fund will be applied to the retirement benefits of qualifying employees until
the fund is exhausted due to the irrevocable status of the fund.
The Company does not have any contractual obligation regarding the payment of
pensions of retirements.
j. Income taxes - In 1999, the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants issued
Bulletin D-4, "Accounting for Income and Asset Taxes and Employee Profit
Sharing", which is effective for all fiscal years beginning January 1, 2000.
Bulletin D-4 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the
effects of asset tax, income tax and employee profit sharing that result from
enterprise activities during the current and preceding years.
The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated tax returns of
the company's parent.
k. Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences - All transactions in
foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of
their execution or liquidation. Foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Any exchange differences incurred with regard to assets or liabilities
denominated in foreign currency are charged to operations of the period and are
included in financial income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income (loss).
For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the foreign
subsidiaries, were translated into pesos in conformity with Mexican accounting
Bulletin MFRS B-15, Transactions in Foreign Currency.
The first step in the process of conversion of financial information of the
operations is the determination of the functional currency, which is in first
instance the currency of primary the economic surroundings of the foreign
operation; nevertheless, despite the previous thing, the functional currency can
differ from the premises or registry, in the measurement that this one does not
represent the currency that fundamentally affects the cash flow of the
operations abroad. The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were
turned to Mexican pesos with the following procedure:
- Applying the prevailing exchange rate at the consolidated balance date for
monetary assets and liabilities.
- Applying the prevailing historical exchange rate for nonmonetary assets
and liabilities and for stockholders' equity accounts.
- Applying the prevailing the historical exchange rate at the consolidated
balance sheet date for revenues and expenses during the reporting period
- The resulting effect of translation, the process of consolidation and to
apply the participation method, is recorded in stockholders' equity under
the accumulated effect by conversion forming part of the Comprehensive
Income.
l. Geographic concentration of credit risk - The Company sells its products
primarily to distributors for the construction industry with no specific
geographic concentration. Additionally, no single customer accounted for a
significant amount of the Company's sales, and there were no significant
accounts receivable from a single customer or affiliate at December 31, 2008
sales to five customers accounted for approximately 29.8% of the Republic's
sales. The Company performs evaluations of its customers' credit histories and
establishes and allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of
specific customers and historical trends.
m. Other income (expenses) - Other income (expenses) shown in the consolidated
statements of operations primarily includes other financial operations.
(2) Financial Debt:
As of December 31, 2008, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of U.S.
$952,000; U.S. $650,000 is a credit bank and U.S. $302,000 of 8 7/8% medium-term
notes ("MTN's") due 1998 (accrued interest on December 31, 2008 was U.S.
$387,882). As of December 31, 2007, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of
U.S. $302,000 from 8 7/8% medium-term notes ("MTN's") due 1998 (accrued interest
on December 31, 2007 was U.S. $363,703).
(3) Commitments and contingent liabilities:
a. Pacific Steel, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the U.S.A.) has
been named in various claims and suits relating to the generation, storage,
transport, disposal and cleanup of materials classified as hazardous waste. The
Company has accrued approximately Ps. 13,320 (U.S. $983,875) at December 31,
2008, (included in accrued liabilities) relating to these actions; the reduction
of this reserve from previous levels reflects clean-up activities undertaken by
Simec. Management believes the ultimate liability with respect to this matter
will not exceed the amounts that have been accrued.
b. The Company is subject to various other legal proceeding and claims, which
have arisen, in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of
management that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results
of operations.

TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY AND CONVERSION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
FOREIGN OPERATIONS INFORMATION RELATED TO BULLETIN B-15
CONSOLIDATED
Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences - All transactions in
foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of
their execution or liquidation. Foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Any exchange differences incurred with regard to assets or liabilities
denominated in foreign currency are charged to operations of the period and are
included in financial income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income (loss).
For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the foreign
subsidiaries, were translated into pesos in conformity with Mexican accounting
Bulletin MFRS B-15, Transactions in Foreign Currency.
The first step in the process of conversion of financial information of the
operations is the determination of the functional currency, which is in first
instance the currency of primary the economic surroundings of the foreign
operation; nevertheless, despite the previous thing, the functional currency can
differ from the premises or registry, in the measurement that this one does not
represent the currency that fundamentally affects the cash flow of the
operations abroad. The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were
turned to Mexican pesos with the following procedure:
- Applying the prevailing exchange rate at the consolidated balance date for
assets and liabilities.
- Applying the prevailing historical exchange rate for stockholders' equity
accounts.
- Applying the prevailing the historical exchange rate at the consolidated
balance sheet date for revenues and expenses during the reporting period
- The resulting effect of translation, the process of consolidation and to
apply the participation method, is recorded in stockholders' equity under
the accumulated effect by conversion forming part of the Comprehensive
Income.
