ArcelorMittal S.A.: ArcelorMittal reports second quarter 2026 results

Rhea-AI Summary

ArcelorMittal (MT) reported 2Q 2026 sales of $16.8 billion, up 8.4% QoQ, with EBITDA of $2.1 billion and EBITDA per tonne of $155, reflecting structurally higher margins. Net income was $683 million (EPS $0.90), compared with $575 million in 1Q 2026 and $1.8 billion in 2Q 2025.

For 1H 2026, sales rose 4.9% YoY to $32.2 billion and EBITDA increased 8.8% to $3.7 billion, though net income declined to $1.3 billion mainly due to higher FX losses and net interest. Net debt increased to $9.5 billion from $7.9 billion at year‑end 2025, while liquidity stood at $10.4 billion. The company generated $0.5 billion of underlying free cash flow in 1H 2026 after $0.8 billion of strategic growth capex, but reported free cash outflow of $1.5 billion including working capital. ArcelorMittal returned $0.7 billion to shareholders in 1H 2026 and expects 2026 returns to exceed its policy minimum, supported by an unchanged 2026 capex plan of $4.5–$5.0 billion and a project pipeline expected to add about $1.8 billion of incremental EBITDA from 2026.

4 terms

ltif technical

"with LTIF rate of 0.60x in 2Q'26."

Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) measures how often workers are injured on the job so seriously they must miss work, typically reported as injuries per one million hours worked. Investors watch LTIF as a safety and operational risk signal: higher rates can imply production interruptions, higher costs, regulatory trouble or reputational damage, while lower rates suggest safer, more reliable operations — like tracking accident frequency per miles driven for a fleet.

ebitda financial

"2Q 2026 EBITDA of $2.1bn"

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

View in glossary

cbam regulatory

"Europe business gathering momentum under a more balanced trade framework"

A carbon border adjustment mechanism is a government policy that charges imports a fee based on the greenhouse gas emissions produced to make them, similar to adding a price to pollution at the border. For investors it matters because it changes the relative costs and competitiveness of companies that make or sell goods across borders, affecting profit margins, supply chains and the likely value of industries exposed to high-carbon production.

roce financial

"Strategic growth projects support higher EBITDA and ROCE"

ROCE (return on capital employed) measures how much profit a company earns for each dollar of capital put into the business, comparing operating profit to the total funds used to run the company. Investors use it like a production efficiency score — similar to measuring how much fruit a tree yields compared with the cost to plant and care for it — to judge how well management turns invested money into returns and to compare companies of different sizes.

Luxembourg, July 30, 2026 - ArcelorMittal (referred to as “ArcelorMittal” or the “Company” or the "Group") (MT (New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Luxembourg), MTS (Madrid)), the world’s leading integrated steel and mining company, today announced results¹ for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.

2Q 2026 key highlights:

Safety focus: Protecting employee health and safety is a core Company value. The multi-year safety transformation continues to deliver measurable improvements, with LTIF rate of 0.60x in 2Q'26.
Delivering structurally improved margins: The Group’s results continue to demonstrate resilience; 2Q 2026 EBITDA of $2.1bn, which represents a margin of $155/t, significantly higher than historical per tonne averages, reflecting the benefits of strategic investments, optimized assets and diversified market exposures. Europe EBITDA per tonne improved by $28/t sequentially, with further upside expected as the benefits of the new TRQ trade tool are realized. Net income in 2Q 2026 was $0.7bn (basic EPS of $0.90/sh).
Financial strength: After returning $0.6bn to shareholders and net working capital investment, net debt increased modestly compared with the prior quarter to $9.5bn⁴. Liquidity⁷ remains robust at $10.4bn, and the Company’s free cash flow outlook for 2026 and beyond remains unchanged.
Strong underlying cash generation, supporting shareholder returns and growth investment: The business generated $0.5bn of underlying free cash flow in 1H 2026, after investing $0.8bn in strategic growth projects and excluding the seasonal $2.0bn working capital investment. Given the positive prospects for 2H 2026 profitability, healthy cash generation in 2H 2026 should support continued returns to shareholders and lower net debt.
Capital return policy is creating significant value for shareholders: During 1H 2026, the Company returned $0.7bn to shareholders ($0.2bn dividends and $0.5bn share buybacks). Following the partial monetization of its Vallourec stake, the proceeds of which have been allocated to share buybacks, shareholder returns in 2026 are expected to exceed the policy minimum (i.e. quarterly base dividend of $0.15/sh plus 50% of post-dividend FCF allocated to buybacks). The fully diluted share count has been reduced by 38% since September 2020⁵.

Strategic focus:

Positive outlook across the near, medium and long term: ArcelorMittal is well positioned to deliver value-accretive growth, with robust shareholder returns, whilst maintaining a strong investment-grade balance sheet. Our medium and long-term growth prospects are underpinned by a unique portfolio of opportunities. Alongside the next phase of our growth in India, the world's fastest-growing major steel market, the Company is currently reviewing potential downstream expansions in Brazil (leveraging our low-cost assets and long slab position), and further capacity growth in Liberia (leveraging existing infrastructure). Electrical steels is a core growth focus globally, with projects underway in the US and Europe, and opportunities under development in other key regions. We also see significant opportunities to further expand our renewable energy portfolio, generating more resilient, non-cyclical earnings while enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of our steel business. Renewables is a key pillar of the Sustainable Solutions segment which remains on track to double its EBITDA by 2028 (vs. 2023).

Europe business gathering momentum under a more balanced trade framework: The Company believes that CBAM, together with the TRQ trade tool implemented from July 1, 2026, can support higher domestic capacity utilization and restore profitability and returns on capital to healthy, sustainable levels. The introduction of comprehensive and more granular country-specific import quotas represents a meaningful improvement, while the introduction of 'Melt & Pour' requirements could further strengthen the integrity and effectiveness of the system. Activity levels have improved following the implementation of the TRQ measures, with stronger order books supporting capacity restarts across Europe. Consequently, European shipments are expected to be stable to slightly higher in 3Q 2026 versus 2Q 2026, compared with the typical high-single-digit seasonal decline. Furthermore, shipments in 2H 2026 are expected to exceed those in 1H 2026 across all segments.

Strategic growth projects support higher EBITDA and ROCE: The Company’s portfolio of organic growth projects and completed M&A is expected to increase EBITDA potential by approximately $1.8bn⁶ from 2026 and beyond, unchanged from previous guidance. 2026 capex guidance remains unchanged at $4.5bn-$5.0bn, including $1.7bn-$1.9bn of strategic capex.

Commenting, Aditya Mittal, ArcelorMittal Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Today’s results, with second quarter EBITDA per tonne of $155, demonstrate the continued evolution of our business towards structurally higher levels of profitability. A key element is the improved outlook for our European business. The implementation of the new tariff rate quota alongside CBAM is creating a more balanced competitive environment. With Europe volumes in the third quarter projected to be stable to higher compared with the second quarter - counter to normal seasonal trends - and positive momentum across our other businesses, we anticipate higher shipments in both the third quarter and the second half of the year, with all segments expected to outperform first‑half volumes.

On safety, we are making encouraging progress. While there is more work to do, we are reporting a record low LTIF for the first half of the year, reflecting the growing impact of our safety transformation programme and the strong commitment of teams across the Group to create safer workplaces every day.

On 1st August, ArcelorMitttal will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, we have expanded into some of the world’s most attractive steel and mining markets, including India and Southern United States, enhancing the quality of our earnings and increasing our exposure to long-term growth drivers. Our strategic growth initiatives are a key differentiator and position us to create value well beyond the current cycle. From 2026 onwards, this project portfolio is expected to add a collective US$1.8 billion of incremental EBITDA. These projects increase our exposure to long-term growth themes including electrification, renewable energy and grid infrastructure.

Our growing pipeline of future growth opportunities, strengthening contributions from our strategic JV portfolio, and focus on disciplined capital allocation – all backed by an investment grade balance sheet – mean ArcelorMittal is well positioned to deliver structurally higher quality earnings and continue to provide attractive shareholder returns over the long-term. With steel reaffirming its critical importance as a material that supports not only economic growth, but also the energy transition and AI led infrastructure build out, we look forward to further growth, innovation and digitalization in the next decade and beyond.”

Safety and sustainable development

Health and safety:

Protecting employee health and safety is a core Company value. The multi-year safety transformation continues to deliver measurable improvements, with an LTIF rate of 0.53x in 1H 2026 vs 0.66x in 1H 2025.

In 2026, the safety transformation program progressed into its implementation and scale-up phase, focused on embedding execution discipline and delivering consistent, high-quality safety performance across all regions. During 1H 2026, more than 8,000 leaders were assessed against the updated Health and Safety Competency Model, supporting a consistent One ArcelorMittal safety culture globally. In addition, an upgraded Contractor Health and Safety Management Standard was rolled out, establishing a consistent framework to strengthen contractor safety performance across all operations. These initiatives form part of the Company's ongoing efforts to achieve its ambition of zero fatalities and serious injuries.

Sustainable development highlights:

• Sustainable solutions: Continuing to build exposure to attractive low-carbon infrastructure growth markets. In June 2026, ArcelorMittal Building Solutions announced plans to construct a new manufacturing facility in the United States. Together with recent investments in India and Brazil, the facility will further strengthen ArcelorMittal’s global presence in insulated panels for more energy-efficient buildings. These investments are expected to contribute approximately $0.1bn of incremental EBITDA by 2031 once fully ramped up.
• Electrification is a structural growth driver for steel: Investments in electrification (wind power, solar power and grid expansion) currently targeted by various government policies could require 240–290Mt of steel ex-China through to 2035. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to capture growth through its portfolio of high-value add, high-margin products serving solar, wind, electrical steel and also transmission infrastructure markets.

Analysis of results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus results for the six months ended June 30, 2025

Sales for 1H 2026 increased by 4.9% to $32.2 billion as compared with $30.7 billion for 1H 2025, primarily due to 10.2% higher average steel selling prices partially offset by lower shipments.

Operating income for 1H 2026 was $1.8 billion, broadly stable with the underlying performance recorded in 1H 2025. 1H 2025 operating income of $2.8 billion included $1.0 billion of net exceptional gains (a $1.2 billion exceptional gain mainly related to the acquisition of Nippon Steel's 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert, partly offset by $0.2 billion of impairment charges related to the divestment of the Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia).

Depreciation cost for 1H 2026 was $1,529 million, higher than $1,353 million in 1H 2025, primarily due to the consolidation of Calvert (since June 2025) and foreign exchange impact. 12M 2026 depreciation guidance remains unchanged at approximately $3.0 billion.

EBITDA increased by 8.8% to $3,743 million in 1H 2026 as compared to $3,440 million in 1H 2025, primarily driven by stronger results in Europe, North America (reflecting the impact of the Calvert acquisition) and the India and JVs segment partly offset by weaker results in Brazil and Mining.

Income from associates, joint ventures and other investments increased to $406 million in 1H 2026, as compared to $298 million in 1H 2025, reflecting stronger contributions from AMNS India and European investees partially offset by the full consolidation of Calvert since June 2025.

Foreign exchange and net financing charges amounted to $366 million in 1H 2026 as compared to an income of $123 million in 1H 2025 primarily on account of foreign exchange impacts. 1H 2026 was negatively impacted by a 3.0% appreciation of the US dollar against the Euro, while 1H 2025 benefited from a 12.8% depreciation of the US dollar against the Euro.

Net interest expense increased to $269 million in 1H 2026 as compared to $121 million in 1H 2025, primarily due to higher average gross debt (including impact from consolidation of Calvert) and lower interest income. Interest income in 1H 2025 included interest on the amounts receivable (related to the disposal of the Kazakhstan operations, that were fully repaid in 4Q 2025), as well as returns on U.S. dollar-linked investments in Argentina used to preserve the dollar value of cash balances. 12M 2026 net interest expense is expected to be approximately $550 million.

Net income in 1H 2026 of $1,258 million (EPS of $1.65/sh) compares to adjusted net income⁴ of $1,810 million (adjusted EPS of $2.37/sh) in 1H 2025. The year‑on‑year decline in net income primarily reflects higher foreign exchange losses and increased net interest expense, as explained above.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 1H 2026 was $952 million as compared to $1,062 million in 1H 2025 and includes a working capital investment of $1,981 million as compared to $1,491 million in 1H 2025. Free cash outflow during 1H 2026 of $1,493 million includes capex of $2,373 million (including strategic growth projects totaling $0.8 billion). The free cash outflow, together with shareholder returns of $0.7 billion offset in part by net M&A proceeds during the period, led to an increase in net debt to $9.5 billion on June 30, 2026, as compared to $7.9 billion on December 31, 2025. Gross debt amounted to $14.4 billion on June 30, 2026, as compared to $13.7 billion on June 30, 2025.

Analysis of results for 2Q 2026 versus 1Q 2026

Sales increased by 8.4% to $16.8 billion in 2Q 2026 as compared to $15.5 billion in 1Q 2026, primarily reflecting 4.4% higher average steel prices and 4.1% increase in steel shipments. Average steel selling prices and steel shipments increased in all steel segments.

EBITDA increased by 22.9% to $2,064 million in 2Q 2026 as compared to $1,679 million in 1Q 2026, driven by improved performance across all steel segments.

Income from associates, joint ventures and other investments increased to $229 million in 2Q 2026, as compared to $177 million in 1Q 2026, primarily due to stronger AMNS India results. 2Q 2026 includes a $0.3 billion gain on the disposal of a 10% stake in Vallourec which was fully offset by $0.3 billion impairment relating to the associate investment in Baffinland.

Foreign exchange and other net financial charges amounted to $286 million in 2Q 2026 as compared to $80 million in 1Q 2026, primarily on account of foreign exchange impacts.

Income tax expense of $175 million in 2Q 2026 compares with an income tax expense of $136 million in 1Q 2026.

Net income in 2Q 2026 increased to $683 million (EPS of $0.90/sh) as compared with $575 million (EPS of $0.76/sh) in 1Q 2026.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2Q 2026 amounted to $1.0 billion (including a $0.5 billion investment in working capital) as compared to net cash used in operating activities in 1Q 2026 of $9 million (including a $1.5 billion seasonal investment in working capital). Capex totalled $1.1 billion (including strategic growth projects totaling $0.4 billion) for 2Q 2026 and $1.3 billion for 1Q 2026 (including strategic growth projects totaling $0.4 billion and $0.2 billion payment on signing the new Mineral Development Agreement in Liberia)¹⁰.

Note: Mining segment comprises iron ore operations of ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) and ArcelorMittal Liberia.

Iron ore production in 2Q 2026 increased by 3.5% to 10.1Mt, compared with 9.7Mt in 1Q 2026, driven by seasonally higher volumes at ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (“AMMC”), partly offset by lower output in Liberia due to heavy rainfall.

Compared to 2Q 2025, iron ore production increased by 22.0%, driven primarily by improved performance in Liberia, where operational improvements and the continued concentrator ramp up supported higher mining volumes.

In 2Q 2026, iron ore shipments (9.4Mt) were lower than iron ore production (10.1Mt), primarily due to shipment timing delays in Liberia caused by heavy rainfall and weather-related constraints impacting port operations at AMMC. In comparison, iron ore shipments in 2Q 2025 were higher than iron ore production, as AMMC shipped approximately 2Mt of inventory from prior periods that had accumulated at Port Cartier (AMMC) during the wharf rehabilitation. Liberia 2026 iron ore shipment guidance remains at 18Mt, supported by the ongoing ramp-up of the concentrator.

Sales in 2Q 2026 were 15.0% lower at $0.8 billion as compared to $0.9bn in 1Q 2026 reflecting lower iron ore shipments.

Operating income decreased to $93 million in 2Q 2026, compared with $215 million in 1Q 2026.

EBITDA in 2Q 2026 decreased to $179 million as compared with $299 million in 1Q 2026, primarily reflecting lower iron ore shipments and higher freight costs.

India and JVs

Income from associates, joint ventures and other investments increased to $229 million in 2Q 2026, as compared to $177 million in 1Q 2026, due to stronger AMNS India results.

ArcelorMittal has investments in various joint ventures and associate entities globally. The Company considers AMNS India (60% equity interest) joint venture to be of particular strategic importance, warranting more detailed disclosures to improve the understanding of its operational performance and value to the Group.

The numbers in this 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. Segment information presented in this press release is prior to inter-segment eliminations and certain adjustments made to operating results of the segments to reflect corporate costs, income from non-steel operations (e.g. logistics and shipping services) and the elimination of stock margins between the segments.
2. Impairment charges of $194 million in 2Q 2025 related to announced divestment of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia.
3. Exceptional gains of $1,162 million in 2Q 2025 includes a $1,742 million gain from acquiring Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert (North America segment), partially offset mainly by final settlement of the purchase price of Votorantim's long business in Brazil ($0.4 billion). One-off tax charges for $0.2 billion relate to the reversal of a deferred tax asset and corresponding deferred tax expense which was partly offset by the positive tax impact relating to the Votorantim settlement (both of which are considered exceptional items for the calculation of adjusted net income).
4. See Appendix 4 for the reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share; see appendix 3 for the reconciliation of gross debt to net debt.
5. September 2020 was the inception date of the ongoing share buyback programs. Following the completion of the first 10 million share buyback tranche during 2Q 2026, the Company launched a new tranche of share buy back up to 10 million shares.
6. The estimate of potential additional contribution to EBITDA is based on assumptions once ramped up to full capacity and assuming prices/spreads generally in line with the averages of 2015-2020. Other projects under development include two potential high-return investments in Brazil to expand higher-value steel capabilities i) the construction of a new high added value finishing line (cold rolling mill) and a continuous coating line at Tubarão facility, and ii) at ArcelorMittal Pecém which announced the approval of the first phase of a strategic project aimed at the developing of a new hot rolled coil production line at the site. We are advancing studies for a potential second 1.5Mt EAF at Calvert, which would expand domestic steelmaking capability at our world-class facility, enhance melt-and-pour capacity, and strengthen participation in the US steel market. The project would leverage existing infrastructure, established customer relationships and downstream assets, supporting attractive capital efficiency and value-added growth opportunities. Future growth optionality in India remains significant, with the announced 8.2Mtpa Andhra Pradesh greenfield project (assuming timely receipt of remaining regulatory approvals, including securing a long-term iron ore supply agreement with NMDC) and the potential expansion of Hazira to 24Mtpa (from 15Mtpa following completion of the current expansion) with detailed engineering underway, supporting a long-term pathway towards 40Mt of steelmaking capacity.
7. Liquidity at the end of June 30, 2026, of $10.4 billion consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 billion (including cash and cash equivalents held as part of assets held for sale) and $5.5 billion of available credit lines. On April 13, 2026, ArcelorMittal extended its $5.5 billion revolving credit facility. The maturity was extended by one year to May 29, 2031.
8. As of June 30, 2026, assets and liabilities held for sale are related to the ongoing disposal of a downstream long wire rod business in the Brazil segment. As of December 31, 2025, assets and liabilities held for sale related to the announced divestment of Tubular subsidiary.
9. The acquisition of Votorantim’s long steel business in Brazil in 2018 significantly strengthened ArcelorMittal’s market position, adding approximately 2Mt of annual production capacity, increasing market share, and unlocking cost efficiencies alongside substantial operational, logistics, and procurement synergies. As part of the original deal structure, Votorantim and ArcelorMittal retained certain put and call option rights. In March 2022, Votorantim exercised its put option, resulting in a valuation dispute that proceeded to arbitration in Brazil. Following hearings in October 2024, the parties reached a settlement in June 2025, under which ArcelorMittal Brasil will pay approximately $546 million over three years. Net of amounts previously provisioned, ArcelorMittal recorded a net amount of $0.4 billion in 2Q 2025 as an exceptional item. The first instalment of $0.2 billion was paid in 3Q 2025, and second paid in 2Q 2026, with 2 further annual payments of $0.1 billion due in 2027 and 2028.
10. In 1Q 2026, the existing Mineral Development Agreement (MDA) was extended to 2050, with a right to renew for a further 25 years. Under the terms of the agreement, ArcelorMittal paid $200 million to the Government of Liberia for certain rights it acquires per the agreement, namely the mining rights extension and reserved access to railroad capacity the Company is investing in (infrastructure is being expanded so it can transport up to 30Mt of iron ore annually). The Company is undertaking feasibility studies to increase iron ore production capacity beyond the 20Mtpa phase 2 currently in ramp-up.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking information and statements about ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe”, "will", “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, "projected", "potential", "intend" or similar expressions. 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. ArcelorMittal undertakes no obligation to publicly update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP/Alternative Performance Measures

This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures. ArcelorMittal presents EBITDA, EBITDA/tonne, free cash flow (FCF), adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share which are non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures, as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its operating performance. The definition of EBITDA includes income from share of associates, JVs and other investments (excluding impairments and exceptional items if any, of associates, JVs and other investments) because the Company believes this information provides investors with additional information to understand its results, given the increasing significance of its joint ventures. ArcelorMittal believes such indicators are relevant to provide management and investors with additional information. ArcelorMittal also presents net debt, liquidity and change in working capital as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its financial position, changes to its capital structure and its credit assessment. Investable cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex, and the Company thus believes that it represents a cash flow that is available for allocation at management’s discretion. The Company’s guidance as to free cash flow, EBITDA from Sustainable Solutions segment and additional EBITDA estimated to be generated from certain projects is based on the same accounting policies as those applied in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. ArcelorMittal is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, such guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of items impacting comparability. For the same reasons, ArcelorMittal is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information. Non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with, and not as an alternative to, ArcelorMittal's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Comparable IFRS measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures are presented herein.
