Although ArcelorMittal's management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of ArcelorMittal's securities are cautioned that forward- looking information and statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of ArcelorMittal, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified in the filings with the Luxembourg Stock Market Authority for the Financial Markets (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") made or to be made by ArcelorMittal, including ArcelorMittal's latest Annual Report on Form 20-F on file with the SEC.

Positioned to navigate challenging market conditions whilst remaining focussed on long term objectives

  • Market conditions are challenging we are experiencing the peak of the destocking cycle, which is not sustainable
  • We are responding effectively Optimizing energy consumption and adapting production to addressable demand; working to reduce fixed cost of idled capacity while variable costs (raw materials and energy) are expected to move lower
  • We are a stronger and more resilient business Excluding the impacts of energy, our results are significantly stronger than other crisis environments
  • Working capital has peaked $10bn working capital investment over the last 7 quarters. Working capital will now begin to unwind, supporting FCF and continuous capital returns to shareholders
  • FCF has been consistently positive, and this is expected to continue
  • We will continue to execute our strategy investment plans are unchanged, strategic growth projects are gaining momentum, we are strengthening the asset portfolio

"Real demand headwinds are being exacerbated by destocking through the value chain. This gives us confidence that the apparent demand conditions will improve once the destocking phase reaches maturity.

In the meantime, we are responding effectively by adapting our capacity for the 4Q 2022, and reducing fixed costs on the impacted tonnes. At current spot levels, variable costs (raw materials and energy) per tonne are expected to decline in 4Q 2022.

The improvements we have made in recent periods are being tested by this difficult market environment, but we expect results to demonstrate that our business is stronger and more resilient.

Significant cash has been allocated to working capital investment in recent quarters. This is now at a peak, and the expected working capital unwind will support free cash flow in a lower EBITDA environment.

Our balance sheet strength and expectation of consistently positive free cash flow underpin the continued execution of our strategy: to grow and develop the business, to be a leader in low-carbon steel, and capture the growth opportunities in faster growing markets."

Safety and sustainability

Safety is our priority: committed to reach zero harm

  • Following full review of every aspect of safety a multi-prongedaction plan has been deployed, building on and supporting the considerable policies and processes already in place
  • Global H&S team strengthened
  • Group's H&S policy, standards and golden rules updated: comprehensive and effective dissemination throughout the Company has been rolled out
  • Safety training & mentoring upgraded: leadership presence on the shop floor now mandatory and central to day-to-dayperformance reviews
  • Instituted a "quarantine" for operations that have experienced a serious incident or deemed at risk of such an incident
  • Remuneration links to H&S strengthened: 50% increase in the STI link to safety performance (with fatalities acting as a circuit breaker); STIP safety target increased to 15%, and LTIP to 10%; ESG objectives included in LT incentive plans
