China Steel Corporation (CSC), Taiwan’s leading carbon steel producer, reported a consolidated pre-tax net loss of NT$980.6 million for September 2025, up by 24% compared to the previous month. The consolidated operating revenue was NT$24.38 billion, a month-on-month fall of 1%.

As of September, the cumulative pre-tax net loss reached NT$4.68 billion, significantly falling by 229% from the same period last year. The consolidated operating revenue was NT$241.78 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12%.

The increase in the monthly loss was partially offset by higher unit gross profit in the steel segment and increased dividend income from mining investments. The cumulative yearly decline in the first nine months was attributed to lower steel selling prices and increased operating expenses.

CSC pointed out a slow recovery in the global steel market, expecting mild demand growth next year, with the current market in a consolidation phase.
