  • ArcelorMittal Mines Canada expansion project on track to increase iron ore capacity from 16 Mt to 24 Mt by 2013

Outlook and guidance:

  • EBITDA for 2H 2011 is expected to be above the comparable period of 2010
  • Steel shipments in 4Q 2011 are expected to be lower than 3Q 2011 levels reflecting customers’ “wait and see” approach
  • On track to increase FY 2011 own iron ore and coal production by 10% and 20%, respectively, as compared to 2010
  • Net debt at year-end is expected to be higher than 3Q 2011 levels primarily due to the temporary investment in Macarthur
  • Focus on core growth capex; full year 2011 capex therefore is expected to be below previous target of $5.5 billion

Commenting, Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO, ArcelorMittal, said:

Despite weakening economic conditions, ArcelorMittal has reported EBITDA within the forecasted range. Uncertainties around the economic outlook have increased in recent weeks, impacting the confidence levels of our customers, so as we move in to the 4Q we are facing both volume and price pressures. However, our core profitability is resilient, supported by our growing mining business, our market leading value-added steel franchise and our management gains programs. As a result I remain confident that the Group’s EBITDA in the second half of 2011 will be above that of the second half of 2010”.

Key initiatives for the three months ended September 30, 2011

  • ArcelorMittal secured entry to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World). The Dow Jones Sustainability Index tracks the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. Securing recognition from this benchmarking index for the second time demonstrates ArcelorMittal’s commitment towards delivering safe, sustainable steel. ArcelorMittal remains a member of the two major sustainability and corporate responsibility indices: the DJSI World and the FTSE4Good Index series.
  • A report jointly issued by ArcelorMittal, the European Metalworkers’ Federation, the International Federation of Metalworkers and United Steel Workers examines how the Company has worked together with unions throughout the world to achieve better safety results. The report concludes that the joint global Health & Safety Committee has helped build a positive workplace culture and improved collaboration and coordination between unions and management locally as well as globally.

Analysis of results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2010

ArcelorMittal’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.3 billion, or $2.11 per share, as compared with net income of $3.7 billion, or $2.45 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Total steel shipments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were 65.2 million metric tonnes as compared with 63.8 million metric tonnes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 24.8% to $71.5 billion as compared with $57.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sales were higher during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to higher average steel selling prices (20.8%) and slightly higher steel volumes (2.1%).

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.4 billion as compared to $3.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Impairment expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $103 million relating to a rolling facility in the Long Carbon Americas segment and the announced intention to close two blast furnaces, sinter plant, steel shop and continuous casters in Liege, Belgium6. (Restoration, site cleaning, voluntary separation scheme (VSS) and other costs will be recorded when social dialogue has sufficiently progressed). This compared to impairment expenses of $144 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 relating to the sale of the Anzherkoye steam coal mine in Russia and pickling line in Liege, Belgium.

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.9 billion, an increase of 51.2% as compared with operating income of $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Operating performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a non-cash gain of $437 million related to unwinding of hedges on raw material purchases as compared to $266 million recorded in this respect in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Income from equity method investments and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $443 million, as compared to $377 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included an impairment loss of $119 million as a result of the Company’s intention to withdraw from the joint venture with Peabody Energy to acquire ownership of Macarthur Coal. This charge reflects a higher carrying value of the investment in Macarthur, which included accrued share of net income. After considering dividends received and changes in exchange rate through October 25, 2011 (date of the divestiture announcement) the transaction was essentially cash neutral. 7

Net interest expense (including interest expense and interest income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was higher at $1.4 billion, as compared to $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to higher level of borrowing.

As a result of hedging transactions undertaken by the Company in December 2010, the mark-to-market impact from the convertible bonds issued in the spring of 2009 has been minimized. Mark-to-market gains on the mandatorily convertible bond issued in December 2009 were $55 million in the first nine months of 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had recorded a non-cash gain of $720 million as a result of mark-to-market adjustments with respect to embedded derivatives in its convertible bonds issued in 2009.

Foreign exchange and other net financing costs were $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

ArcelorMittal recorded an income tax expense of $49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Gain attributable to non-controlling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $21 million as compared to a gain of $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Discontinued operations (i.e. the Company’s stainless steel operations, which were spun-off into a separate company, Aperam) in the nine months ended on September 30, 2011 amounted to a gain of $461 million, including $42 million of the post-tax net results contributed by the stainless steel operations prior to their spin-off. The balance of $419 million represents a one-time non-cash gain from the recognition through the income statement of gains/losses relating to the demerged assets previously held in equity. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended on September 30, 2010 amounted to a gain of $217 million.

Analysis of results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2010

ArcelorMittal’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.7 billion, or $0.43 per share, as compared with net income of $1.5 billion, or $0.99 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and net income of $1.4 billion, or $0.89 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Total steel shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were 21.1 million metric tonnes as compared with 22.2 million metric tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 20.5 million metric tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by 3.6% to $24.2 billion as compared with $25.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and were up 22.6% as compared with $19.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Sales were lower during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to lower average steel selling prices (-1.7%) and lower volume of shipments (-4.9%).

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 remained constant at $1.2 billion as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 and higher than the $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Impairment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $85 million relating to costs associated with the announced intention to close 2 blast furnaces, sinter plant, steel shop and continuous casters in Liege, Belgium6, and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Impairment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $26 million related to the impairment of a pickling line in Liege, Belgium.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.2 billion, as compared with operating income of $2.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and operating income of $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included a non-cash gain of $129 million relating to unwinding of hedges on raw material purchases as compared to non-cash gains relating to such unwinding of $189 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $85 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Income from equity method investments and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $6 million, as compared to $289 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $107 million and for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included an impairment loss of $119 million as a result of the Company’s intention to withdraw from the joint venture with Peabody Energy to acquire ownership of Macarthur Coal. This charge reflects a higher carrying value of the investment in Macarthur, which included accrued share of net income. After considering dividends received and changes in exchange rate through October 25, 2011 (date of the divestiture announcement) the transaction was essentially cash neutral. 7

Net interest expense (including interest expense and interest income) of $477 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was higher than the $457 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $376 million.

As a result of hedging transactions undertaken by the Company in December 2010, the mark-to-market impact from the convertible bonds issued in the spring of 2009 has been minimized. Mark-to-market gains on the mandatorily convertible bond issued in December 2009 during the third quarter of 2011 were $59 million compared to mark-to-market losses of $4 million for the second quarter of 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had recorded a non-cash gain of $24 million as a result of the embedded derivatives in its convertible bonds issued in 2009.

Foreign exchange and other net financing losses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $31 million. Foreign exchange and other net financing gains for the third quarter of 2011 were positively impacted by foreign exchange gains on euro denominated debt (6.6% appreciation of US$ as compared to 1.7% depreciation in the second quarter of 2011).

ArcelorMittal recorded an income tax expense of $154 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to an income tax expense of $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and an income tax benefit of $576 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Analysis of segment operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011

As from January 1, 2011 the Company’s mining operations are reported as a separate operating segment. This change in segmentation reflects the changes in ArcelorMittal’s approach to managing its mining operations i.e. a dedicated mining management team. Accordingly, as required by IFRS, prior periods have been recast to reflect this new segmentation.

All raw materials consumed from ArcelorMittal mines that could practically be sold outside the Company are now reported at market prices. Production from “captive” mines (limited by logistics or quality) continues to be reported at cost-plus to the steel facilities. The principal impact of this change has been to increase the costs of raw materials consumed by the FCA and AACIS segments.

Flat Carbon Americas

USDm unless otherwise shown   3Q 11   2Q 11   3Q 10   9M 11   9M 10 Sales   $5,499   $5,567   $4,394   $16,005   $13,111 EBITDA   420   924   379   1,872   1,397 Operating income   193   697   166   1,197   758                       Crude steel production ('000t)   5,866   6,277   5,932   18,206   17,465 Steel shipments ('000t)   5,708   5,520   4,979   16,791   15,596 Average steel selling price (US$/t)   910   961   826   900   786 EBITDA/tonne (US$/t)   74   167   76   111   90 Operating income /tonne (US$/t)   34   126   33   71   49

Flat Carbon Americas crude steel production decreased 6.5% to 5.9 million tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 6.3 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011, due in part to production downtime in the North American operations.

Steel shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were 5.7 million tonnes, 3.4% higher as compared to 5.5 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to improved auto demand in the NAFTA market.

Sales in the Flat Carbon Americas segment were $5.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a marginal decline of 1.2% as compared to $5.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Sales decreased primarily due to lower average steel selling prices (-5.3%) primarily in Mexico and Brazil due to slab shipments partially offset by higher steel volumes.

EBITDA in the third quarter of 2011 declined by 54.5% to $420 million as compared to $924 million in the second quarter of 2011, driven primarily by margin compression on account of lower average steel selling prices and higher costs.

Flat Carbon Europe crude steel production amounted to 7.4 million tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 6.1% as compared to 7.9 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Production decreased reflecting weaker market sentiment and seasonal slowdown.

Steel shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were 6.4 million tonnes, a decrease of 10.9% as compared to 7.2 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Steel shipments decreased during the third quarter due to weaker market demand and seasonal slowdown.

Sales in the Flat Carbon Europe segment were $7.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 10.0% as compared to $8.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Sales decreased primarily due to lower steel shipment volumes while average steel selling price remained relatively stable.

EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $367 million, a 42.3% decrease as compared to $636 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily driven by lower steel volumes and higher costs.

Operating results in the third quarter of 2011 include impairment expense of $85 million relating to costs associated with the announced intention to close 2 blast furnaces, sinter plant, the steel shop and continuous casters in Liege, Belgium6. They also include a $129 million non-cash gain relating to the unwinding of the hedges on raw material purchases, as compared to a non-cash gain of $189 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $85 million in third quarter of 2010.

Own iron ore production (excluding supplies under strategic long-term contracts) increased 7.4% to 14.1 million tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 13.1 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Total iron ore shipped during the third quarter of 2011 amounted to 13.5 million metric tonnes, an increase of 2.9% as compared to 13.2 million tonnes in the second quarter of 2011.

Own coal production for the three months ended September 30, 2011 remained constant at 2.1 million tonnes as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Total coal shipped during the third quarter of 2011 amounted to 2.1 million tonnes, essentially flat as compared to the second quarter of 2011.

EBITDA attributable to the Mining segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $842 million, marginally higher as compared to $835 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to improved cost position driven by higher overall production volumes partially offset by lower market price volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 billion, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The cash flow used in operating activities for the third quarter of 2011 included a $1.0 billion investment in operating working capital as compared to a $2.8 billion investment in the second quarter of 2011. The working capital investment in the third quarter of 2011 primarily resulted from increased raw material costs. Rotation days10 increased to 73 days during the third quarter of 2011 from 71 days in the second quarter of 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 remained constant at $1.3 billion, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. Capital expenditures increased to $1.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The Company will continue to calibrate its steel growth projects to evolving demand situations; at the same time the Company intends to maintain the growth capex in its mining business as these projects have more attractive return profiles. Accordingly the Company’s full year 2011 capital expenditure is expected to be below the previously targeted level of $5.5 billion (as compared to $3.3 billion in 2010).

Other investing activities in the third quarter of 2011 include an outflow of $31 million including the installment of $55 million for an 11% stake in Ostrava acquired in 2009, offset in part by the sale of various non-core fixed assets. Other investing activities in the second quarter of 2011 of $186 million included outflows of $67 million related to the acquisition of Cognor in Poland (Distribution Solutions) and $205 million for the acquisition of the Prosper coke plant in Germany, offset in part by net cash inflows of $86 million representing cash proceeds from the sale of certain non-core fixed assets and other recoveries.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.3 billion, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid dividends amounting to $309 million as compared to $302 million in the second quarter of 2011. Dividends paid during the third quarter of 2011 included $17 million paid to minority shareholders. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company received a $250 million cash inflow from the increase in the privately placed mandatorily convertible bond (MCB) issued on December 28, 2009 by one of its wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2011, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and short-term investments) amounted to $2.8 billion as compared to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2011. During the quarter, net debt decreased by $0.1 billion to $24.9 billion as compared with $25.0 billion at June 30, 2011.

The Company had liquidity of $11.311 billion at September 30, 2011, a decline of $1.0 billion as compared with liquidity of $12.3 billion at June 30, 2011, consisting of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and short-term investments) of $2.8 billion and $8.5 billion of available credit lines.

Update on management gains program and asset optimization plan

At the end of the third quarter of 2011, the Company’s annualized sustainable management gains increased to $3.8 billion as compared to $3.6 billion at the end of June 30, 2011 (excluding Aperam). The Company maintains its target (based on the revised plan excluding Aperam) to reach management gains of $4.8 billion from sustainable SG&A, fixed cost reductions and continuous improvement by the end of 2012.

On September 23, 2011, the Company announced the launch of a new asset optimization plan which will target a $1 billion improvement in annualized EBITDA by the end of 2012.

Recent developments

  • On October 25, 2011, ArcelorMittal provided notice to Peabody Energy that, in accordance with the Co-Operation and Contribution Agreement between the two companies, following its acceptance of PEAMCoal Ltd’s offer for Macarthur Coal Ltd, it has terminated the Co-Operation and Contribution Agreement as provided for therein. ArcelorMittal will remain a shareholder in PEAMCoal until the termination arrangements are completed which is expected to be in approximately 90 days’ time. In taking this decision, ArcelorMittal has determined that it would no longer be appropriate to allocate substantial capital to the acquisition of a non-controlling, minority business interest. This is in accordance with the rights that ArcelorMittal originally negotiated with Peabody at the time the Co-Operation and Contribution Agreement was concluded.

Given the unanticipated level of acceptances into the offer, ArcelorMittal believes that it is more appropriate to focus its capital elsewhere in its business. ArcelorMittal considers that the capital commitment that would be required to retain its Macarthur interest and grow it materially further, exceeds what is appropriate to allocate to a business that ArcelorMittal does not fully control and consolidate. The unconditional PEAMCoal offer for Macarthur will not be affected by ArcelorMittal’s acceptance and will remain open until 7:00 p.m. (Brisbane time) on November 11, 2011 unless extended. ArcelorMittal will continue to perform its funding obligations to PEAMCoal until the termination takes effect as described in section 10.2(f) of PEAMCoal’s Bidder’s Statement for Macarthur.

  • On September 30, 2011, ArcelorMittal extended to May 2015 the maturity of its $4 billion revolving credit facility that was due to expire in May 2013.
  • On September 28, 2011, ArcelorMittal announced the increase by $250 million of its $750 million privately placed mandatorily convertible bond (MCB) issued on December 28, 2009 by one of its wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiaries. This amendment to the MCB, which is mandatorily convertible into preferred shares of such subsidiary, was executed on September 27, 2011. The other main features of the MCB remain unchanged. The bond was placed privately with a Luxembourg affiliate of Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and is not listed.
  • On August 1, 2011, ArcelorMittal published its Half-Year Report for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. In addition, ArcelorMittal filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) a recast of its 2008-2010 Financial Statements, Business description and Management’s Discussion and Analysis to reflect the fact that its mining business is being reported as a segment since January 1, 2011.

Outlook and guidance

The Company’s EBITDA in the second half of 2011 is expected to exceed the level achieved in the comparable period of 2010. The Company expects shipments in 4Q 2011 to be lower than 3Q 2011 levels, reflecting economic uncertainties leading to customers adopting a “wait and see” approach. Higher iron ore and coal volumes will continue to be a positive underlying driver. Own iron ore and coal production is expected to increase by 10% and 20% respectively, by the end of 2011 as compared to 2010.

In light of recent market uncertainty the Company is focusing on core growth capex. This will result in postponement of some planned steel investments. Accordingly, full year 2011 capital expenditure is expected to be below the previously targeted level of $5.5 billion.

Net debt at year end is expected to be higher than third quarter of 2011 primarily due to the temporary investment in Macarthur Coal (which will be reversed in the first quarter of 2012).

Note: Table excludes analysis on account of others and eliminations.

a) The volume variance indicates the sales value gain/loss through selling a higher/lower volume compared to the reference period, valued at reference period contribution (selling price–variable cost). The product/shipment mix variance indicates sales value gain/loss through selling different proportion of mix (product, choice, customer, market including domestic/export), compared to the reference period contribution.

b) The price-cost variance is a combination of the selling price and cost variance. The selling price variance indicates the sales value gain/loss through selling at a higher/lower price compared to the reference period after adjustment for mix, valued with the current period volumes sold. The cost variance indicates increase/decrease in cost (after adjustment for mix, one time items, non-steel cost and others) compared to the reference period cost. Cost variance includes the gain/loss through consumptions of input materials at a higher price/lower price, movement in fixed cost, changes in valuation of inventory due to movement in capacity utilization etc.

c) Non-steel EBITDA variance primarily represents the gain/loss through the sale of by-products.

d) Other represents the gain/loss through movements in provisions including write downs, write backs of inventory, onerous contracts, reversal of provisions, dynamic delta hedge on raw materials, foreign exchange etc as compared to the reference period.

Appendix 9 – End notes

1 The financial information in this press release has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). While the interim financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim periods, this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. Unless otherwise noted the numbers in the press release have not been audited. The financial information and certain other information presented in a number of tables in this press release have been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column. In addition, certain percentages presented in the tables in this press release reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers.

2 Lost time injury frequency rate equals lost time injuries per 1,000,000 worked hours, based on own personnel and contractors.

3 EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation, impairment expenses and exceptional items.

4 Market price tonnes represent amounts of iron ore and coal from ArcelorMittal mines that could be sold to third parties on the open market. Market priced tonnes that are not sold to third parties are transferred from the Mining segment to the Company’s steel producing segments at the prevailing market price. Shipments of raw materials that do not constitute market price tonnes are transferred internally on a cost-plus basis.

5 Net debt refers to long-term debt, plus short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments.

6 The Company concluded that the assets subject to intended permanent idling were impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $85 million during the quarter. Restoration, site cleaning, voluntary separation scheme (VSS) and other costs will be recorded when social dialogue has sufficiently progressed.

7 The Company’s investment in Macarthur is accounted for under the equity method. As a result of the Company’s intention to withdraw from the joint venture with Peabody Energy to acquire ownership of Macarthur Coal, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $119 million in the third quarter of 2011. This charge reflects a higher carrying value of the investment in Macarthur, which included accrued share of net income. After considering dividends received and changes in exchange rate through October 25, 2011 (date of the divestiture announcement) the transaction was essentially cash neutral.

8 As from January 1, 2010 the Steel Solutions and Services segment has been renamed ArcelorMittal Distribution Solutions (AMDS).

9 There are three categories of sales: 1) “External sales”: mined product sold to third parties at market price; 2) “Market-priced tonnes”: internal sales of mined product to ArcelorMittal facilities at prevailing market prices; 3) “Cost-plus tonnes” - internal sales of mined product to ArcelorMittal facilities on a cost-plus basis. The determinant of whether internal sales are transferred at market price or cost-plus is whether or not the raw material could practically be sold to third parties (i.e. there is a potential market for the product and logistics exist to access that market).

10 Rotation days are defined as days of accounts receivable plus days of inventory minus days of accounts payable. Days of accounts payable and inventory are a function of cost of goods sold. Days of accounts receivable are a function of sales.

11 Includes back-up lines for the commercial paper program of approximately $2.7 billion (€2 billion).

12 In accordance with IFRS the Company has adjusted the 2009 financial information retrospectively for the finalization in 2010 of the allocation of purchase price for certain business combinations carried out in 2009. The adjustments have been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

13 Total of all finished production of fines, concentrate, pellets and lumps (includes share of production and strategic long-term contracts).

14 ArcelorMittal Distribution Solutions shipments are eliminated in consolidation as they primarily represent shipments originating from other ArcelorMittal operating subsidiaries.

15 Changes in operating working capital are defined as trade accounts receivable plus inventories less trade accounts payable.

16 Capex includes the acquisition of intangible assets (such as concessions for mining and IT support).

17 Average steel selling prices are calculated as steel sales divided by steel shipments.

18 Shipments originating from a geographical location.

19 Includes Tubular products business.

20 Commercial paper is expected to continue to be rolled over in the normal course of business.

21 Gearing is defined as (A) long-term debt, plus short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, divided by (B) total equity.
