Insights

Steel Industry Financial Analyst

ArcelorMittal's Q2 shows resilient $1.9B EBITDA with $0.8B in exceptionals; net debt rose to $8.3B following strategic acquisitions.

ArcelorMittal delivered a solid Q2 2025 performance with EBITDA reaching $1.9 billion and EBITDA per tonne of $135, showing continued margin improvement despite ongoing market challenges. The headline net income of $1.8 billion ($2.35 per share) was significantly boosted by $0.8 billion in exceptional items, primarily from the Calvert acquisition. Adjusting for these one-offs, the underlying profit was $1.0 billion ($1.32 per share).

The quarter demonstrated the company's operational momentum, particularly in its mining operations, with record iron ore production and shipments from Liberia. This diversification continues to provide stability amid challenging steel market conditions. The successful commissioning of Calvert's new 1.5Mt EAF strengthens ArcelorMittal's position in the critical U.S. automotive market, enabling it to meet "domestically melted and poured" requirements.

On the balance sheet front, net debt increased to $8.3 billion, up $1.5 billion from the previous quarter. This rise was primarily due to strategic M&A activities, including full consolidation of AM/NS Calvert, Tuper, and ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas. While this increases leverage in the short term, management expects these acquisitions to contribute approximately $0.3 billion to normalized EBITDA. Liquidity remains robust at $11.0 billion, and S&P upgraded the company's credit rating to BBB from BBB-.

The company's growth investments are strategically focused, with $1.1 billion allocated to strategic capex projects over the past 12 months. These investments, combined with recent M&A, are expected to increase future EBITDA potential by $2.1 billion, with $0.7 billion targeted for 2025 ($0.2 billion already captured in 1H 2025). This demonstrates management's commitment to balancing growth with shareholder returns, which included $1.1 billion returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks over the past year.

Regional performance was mixed, with improved results in Europe offset by weakness in North America due to Section 232 tariffs and unplanned maintenance in Mexico. The European steel sector remains challenged, with the company advocating for swift implementation of the Steel and Metals Action Plan to restore competitiveness through effective carbon border measures and trade policies.

Luxembourg, July 31, 2025 - 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, 2025.

2Q 2025 key highlights:

Safety focus: Protecting employee health and safety is a core value of the Company. LTIF rate of 0.68x in 2Q 2025. dss+ safety audit recommendations implementation phase is underway

Sustained margin improvement: Despite continuous challenges, the Group’s results show the benefits of (i) asset optimization, (ii) regional and end market diversification, and (iii) strategic growth investments. 2Q 2025 EBITDA of $1.9bn, with a margin of $135/tonne that continues to show improvement vs. prior cycles. Net income of $1.8bn in 2Q 2025 (EPS of $2.35/sh) was positively impacted by $0.8bn exceptionals (net of impairments and tax effects)⁴. Adjusted net income of $1.0bn in 2Q 2025 (adjusted EPS of $1.32/sh)⁴
Operational momentum continues: Record quarterly iron ore production and shipments from Liberia, which remains on track to achieve its full expanded 20Mt capacity by end 2025; first slab cast at Calvert's new 1.5Mt EAF in the U.S.; India renewables reaching industrial scale and value add capacity commissioning underway
Financial strength maintained: Net debt of $8.3bn at the end of the quarter, with the increase of $1.5bn from the prior quarter end due largely to M&A impacts following the full consolidation of AM/NS Calvert, Tuper and ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas (AMTBA), which combined are expected to support higher normalized EBITDA of circa $0.3bn; liquidity remains at a robust $11.0bn⁷; during the quarter, S&P upgraded the Company’s credit rating to BBB (from BBB-)
Cash flow being reinvested for growth: Over the past 12 months, the Company has generated investable cash flow⁶ (net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex) of $2.3bn. Over the same period, the Company has invested $1.1bn in strategic capex projects to enhance long-term EBITDA capacity, returned $1.1bn to shareholders via dividends/buybacks, and allocated a net $2.3bn to M&A

Key developments towards strategic objectives

Growth: ArcelorMittal has completed the acquisition of Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert, gaining full control of one of North America’s most advanced steel making facilities. Calvert’s new 1.5Mt EAF, the first of its kind designed to supply exposed automotive grades, has been successfully commissioned, with the first slabs cast during the quarter. Together with a new 7-year slab supply agreement signed with NSC/USS, this ensures Calvert’s needs for U.S. “domestically melted and poured” material. Additionally, ArcelorMittal acquired control of the Brazilian pipe producer Tuper (a JV in which it already held a 40% interest) and regained control of AMTBA to accelerate growth in high-value tubular and automotive markets in North America
Organic growth: The Group's strong financial position enables the consistent funding of organic growth projects to support future profitability and investable cash flow. The Group‘s high return strategic growth projects, together with the impact of recent M&A, are expected to increase future EBITDA potential by $2.1bn⁶. The EBITDA benefit targeted for 2025 is $0.7bn, of which $0.2bn was captured in 1H 2025 EBITDA
Encouraging EU trade policy momentum to restore fair competition: the “Steel and Metals Action Plan” recognizes the factors needed to restore industry competitiveness; an effective carbon border and more efficient trade measures that limit import penetration to historical levels have the potential to support improved domestic steel capacity utilization rates and restore the industry’s health. It is imperative that these plans are swiftly turned into concrete actions, with announcements anticipated in 2H 2025 on the details of the new tool that will replace the current safeguard measures and a proposal to close major loopholes in the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
Consistent shareholder returns: As per its capital allocation and return policy, in addition to its growing base dividend ($0.55/sh, paid in 2 equal instalments), the Company will continue to return a minimum of 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow to shareholders. Since September 2020⁵, the Company has used buybacks to reduce its fully diluted shares outstanding by 38%. So far in 2025, the Company has repurchased 8.8m shares at a total cost of $262m

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

“Half-way through the year, it is encouraging that we are seeing an improvement in our safety results compared with 2024. We are less than one year into what we know will be at least a three-year transformation, and there is meaningful progress to report on the implementation of the six-core safety-audit recommendations. I appreciate the commitment every employee is giving to ensuring that safety becomes a core value that underpins everything we do.

Turning to the financial performance, as anticipated we saw an improved quarter, with EBITDA per tonne reaching a healthy $135. The underlying strength of the business is good, but like every company we must navigate the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical and tariff disruptions.

Our primary focus is always to meet the requirements of the domestic markets, and our ability to produce high-quality melted and poured steels in the US was strengthened in the quarter as we took full ownership of Calvert. We have transformed Calvert from an advanced finishing operation into a low-carbon steelmaking facility capable of producing the highest-quality steels for all customer segments including automotive. Calvert will become a new center of excellence for ArcelorMittal in the United States.

We continue to execute other strands of our strategic growth agenda, which together with recent M&A, is expected to deliver an incremental $2.1 billion of EBITDA. This includes our mining operations in Liberia, which marked the inauguration of the new concentrator, enabling us to increase production capacity to 20 million tonnes. Liberia continues to demonstrate the benefits of diversification, delivering another quarter of record iron-ore production and shipments.

In Europe, trends towards increased government spending on defense and infrastructure, is clearly positive for the steel industry. However, while the Steel and Metals Action Plan signalled a clear intention to address the critical challenges, we are still awaiting updates to safeguards, the CBAM, and energy prices. It remains a crucial year for European steelmaking, and I sincerely hope that Europe will hold good onto its commitment to defend and prioritize its domestic steel industry.

Despite the many challenges facing global business today, I am confident that ArcelorMittal has a profile that will enable us to continue to grow and thrive. Our strong balance sheet and diverse business model allows us to invest in growth while delivering consistent shareholder returns through our ongoing program of share buybacks. And our unique global presence enables us to benefit from high-growth markets such as India and Brazil, as well as take advantage of new opportunities such as renewable energy."

Safety and sustainable development

Health and safety:

Protecting employee health and safety is a core value of the Company. LTIF rate of 0.68x in 2Q 2025 (vs 0.63x in 1Q 2025 and 0.57x in 2Q 2024).

The Company is on a three-year transformation program, following a comprehensive safety audit performed in 2024. In the first year, the focus has been on laying the foundations for long-term improvements across the organization. Key areas of progress have included:

• The three lines of assurance have been strengthened with ~20 sites completing second line audits by 1H 2025, enabling the third line audits to commence. All the industrial sites second line audits are planned to be performed within the next 2 years.
• Enhanced safety leadership training has been rolled out to senior management, providing a strong foundation for the Company to strengthen ‘one safety culture’ across the Group. More than 80 senior leaders have started the year long training (including 100% of targeted Vice Presidents).
• Contractors are being fully embedded into our safety management processes. This is being reinforced by the roll out of the Mandatory Life Saving Golden Rules Certification to contractors and a tighter contractor sanction policy.

In years 2 and 3, the Company will embed these changes to ensure consistency, discipline and results in every region.

• Economic decarbonization via EAFs: The Company will have a phased approach to decarbonization in Europe starting with EAFs. The Company has announced its intention to invest in a 2Mt EAF in Dunkirk for €1.2 billion, subject to the implementation of all the conditions in particular the efficient trade measure replacing the current steel safeguards and an effective carbon border adjustment mechanism. The Company currently has 29 EAFs in the Group, with 21.5Mt per year of capacity which will increase to 23.4Mt by 2026 with the two projects in Gijon and Sestao.

Analysis of results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus results for the six months ended June 30, 2024

Sales for 1H 2025 decreased by 5.6% to $30.7 billion as compared with $32.5 billion for 1H 2024, primarily due to 7.5% lower average steel selling prices.

Operating income for 1H 2025 of $2.8 billion was 30.2% higher as compared to $2.1 billion in 1H 2024 primarily due to the net positive impact of $1.0 billion exceptional items and impairments. This includes a $1.7 billion gain recognized on consolidation reflecting the assessed fair value of the asset less consideration paid and debt assumed from acquiring Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert, partially offset by the final settlement of the purchase price of Votorantim's long business in Brazil ($0.4 billion)⁹ and $0.2 billion in impairments related to the announced divestments of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia.

EBITDA decreased by 9.9% to $3,440 million in 1H 2025 as compared to $3,818 million in 1H 2024, primarily driven by weaker results in the North America (S232 tariffs and their resultant impact on costs and Canadian and Mexican pricing) and India and JVs segments (weaker average selling prices) offset in part by an improvement in the Europe segment primarily due to higher volume and a positive price-cost effect.

Foreign exchange and net financing costs in 1H 2025 were an income of $123 million (benefiting from the 12.8% depreciation of the US dollar against the euro), compared to a loss of $521 million in 1H 2024 (which was negatively impacted by the 3.1% appreciation of the US dollar against the euro).

Net income increased to $2,598 million in 1H 2025 as compared to $1,442 million in 1H 2024, mainly driven by $0.8 billion in exceptional items (net of impairments and tax effects) and higher foreign exchange gains. Adjusted net income was $1,810 million in 1H 2025 as compared to $1,434 million in 1H 2024, with adjusted basic earnings per common share of $2.37⁴ in 1H 2025 as compared to $1.79 for 1H 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 1H 2025 was $1.1 billion as compared to $1.0 billion in 1H 2024 and includes a working capital investment of $1.5 billion as compared to $1.6 billion in 1H 2024. Free cash outflow during 1H 2025 of $0.8 billion includes capex of $1.9 billion (including strategic growth projects totaling $0.5 billion). The free cash outflow, together with ongoing shareholder returns of $0.5 billion (including $0.2 billion of dividends) and M&A (primarily Calvert) during the period, led to an increase in net debt to $8.3 billion on June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.1 billion on December 31, 2024. Gross debt of $13.7 billion on June 30, 2025, as compared to $11.6 billion on December 31, 2024.

Analysis of results for 2Q 2025 versus 1Q 2025

Sales increased by 7.6% to $15.9 billion in 2Q 2025 as compared to $14.8 billion in 1Q 2025 primarily due to 6.8% increase in average steel selling prices.

Operating income of $1.9 billion in 2Q 2025 was significantly higher as compared to $825 million in 1Q 2025 primarily due to the net positive impact of $1.0 billion exceptional items and impairments as discussed above.

EBITDA increased by 17.7% in 2Q 2025 to $1,860 million as compared to $1,580 million in 1Q 2025, primarily due to a positive price-cost effect in Europe and higher contribution from India and JVs segment, offset in part by a decline in North America (due to S232 tariff impacts as well as unplanned maintenance in Mexico) and Mining segment (lower iron ore reference selling prices and higher costs more than offsetting the strong shipment performance).

Net income increased to $1,793 million in 2Q 2025, as compared to $805 million in 1Q 2025 (adjusted net income of $1,005 million in 2Q 2025)⁴, primarily due to impact of $0.8bn exceptional items (net of impairments and tax effects)⁴.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2Q 2025 amounted to $1.4 billion, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.4 billion in 1Q 2025, reflecting mainly a $0.2 billion release of working capital in 2Q 2025 as compared to a working capital investment of $1.7 billion in 1Q 2025. Capex for the quarter amounted to $0.9 billion (including $0.2 billion spent on strategic growth projects) as compared to $1.0 billion (including $0.3 billion spend on strategic growth projects) in 1Q 2025.

Free cash inflow of $0.5 billion, dividends paid to ArcelorMittal shareholders of $0.2 billion, M&A of $1.4 billion, and share repurchases of $0.2 billion resulted in an increase in net debt to $8.3 billion on June 30, 2025, as compared to $6.7 billion on March 31, 2025.

* North America steel shipments include slabs sourced by the segment from Group companies (mainly the Brazil segment) and sold to the Calvert JV (eliminated in the Group consolidation). These shipments can vary between periods due to slab sourcing mix and timing of vessels: 2Q'25 357kt; 1Q'25 469kt; 2Q'24 476kt; 1H'25 826kt and 1H'24 957kt.

Sales in 2Q 2025 increased by 7.8% to $3.1 billion, as compared to $2.9 billion in 1Q 2025, primarily driven by an 11.1% increase in average steel selling prices. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of AM/NS Calvert (on June 18, 2025) and AMTBA (on April 1, 2025), average selling prices were relatively stable. Furthermore, sales were negatively impacted by a 4.2% decline in steel shipment volumes due to unplanned maintenance in Mexico and weaker apparent demand.

Operating income in 2Q 2025 increased to $1.8 billion, largely due to a $1.7 billion exceptional gain from the acquisition of Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert. Underlying operating performance declined, primarily reflecting the additional costs imposed on the business by Section 232 tariffs (which were further increased to 50% from June 4, 2025) as well as the impact of unplanned maintenance in Mexico (approximately $40 million) and the impacts of weaker apparent demand on shipment volumes.

As a result, EBITDA in 2Q 2025 declined to $258 million as compared to $475 million in 1Q 2025.

On June 18, 2025, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition of Nippon Steel’s 50% equity stake in AM/NS Calvert, now fully owned and renamed ArcelorMittal Calvert. This consolidation brings 100% of Calvert EBITDA ($614 million in 2024) within the North America segment; previously ~60% of this was captured in Group EBITDA (~45% within North America segment and ~15% in India and JVs segment).

Sales in 2Q 2025 increased by 6.4% to $2.8 billion as compared to $2.6 billion in 1Q 2025, primarily driven by a 10.8% increase in steel shipments, reflecting shipment timing and seasonality compared to the prior quarter, offset in part by a 3.5% decline in average steel selling prices.

There was an operating loss in 2Q 2025 of $137 million as compared to an operating income of $306 million in 1Q 2025. 2Q 2025 included an exceptional cost of $453 million mainly related to the final settlement of the purchase price of Votorantim's long business in Brazil⁹. Without this one-time charge, performance improved slightly with higher shipment volumes, offset in part by lower average steel selling prices.

EBITDA in 2Q 2025 increased by 4.1% to $407 million as compared to $391 million in 1Q 2025, as discussed above.

Crude steel production in 2Q 2025 declined as compared to 1Q 2025 primarily due to the planned reline of Dunkirk BF4, which restarted mid-July 2025.

Sales in 2Q 2025 increased by 6.0% to $7.7 billion as compared to $7.2 billion in 1Q 2025, primarily due to a 11.0% increase in average steel selling prices offset in part by a 3.0% decline in steel shipment volumes which was impacted by apparent demand. 2Q 2025 steel shipments were 1.4% lower year-on-year, reflecting a 6% decline in Long product shipments whilst Flat product shipments were stable.

Operating income in 2Q 2025 of $150 million was higher as compared to $90 million in 1Q 2025, primarily due to a positive price-cost effect, which was partially offset by lower steel shipments and impairments of $194 million related to the disposal of Zenica and Prijedor in Bosnia.

EBITDA in 2Q 2025 of $627 million was 69.7% higher as compared to $370 million in 1Q 2025, primarily due to a positive price-cost effect, offset in part by lower steel shipments.

India and JVs

Income from associates, joint ventures and other investments was higher in 2Q 2025 at $199 million, as compared to $99 million in 1Q 2025 primarily due to a higher income from AMNS India.

ArcelorMittal has investments in various joint ventures and associate entities globally. The Company considered AM/NS Calvert (50% equity interest prior to the full consolidation as from June 18, 2025) and considers AMNS India (60% equity interest) joint ventures to be of particular strategic importance, warranting more detailed disclosures to improve the understanding of their operational performance and value to the Company.

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

Sales in 2Q 2025 increased by 16.6% to $857 million as compared to $735 million in 1Q 2025, primarily due to 22.7% higher iron ore shipments, offset in part by 6.0% decline in iron ore reference prices.

Iron ore production in 2Q 2025 marginally decreased to 8.3Mt as compared to 8.4Mt in 1Q 2025. Production in ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) was impacted by planned maintenance. Production in Liberia reached a record level driven by operational improvements and ramp up of phase 2 infrastructure and mining equipment.

Iron ore shipments in 2Q 2025 included ~2Mt of inventory from prior periods that had accumulated at Port Cartier (AMMC) during the rehabilitation of the wharf.

Operating income in 2Q 2025 decreased by 22.5% to $196 million as compared to $253 million in 1Q 2025, driven by impacts of lower iron ore prices (including lower premia) and higher costs offset in part by higher iron ore shipments.

EBITDA in 2Q 2025 of $262 million was 18.0% lower as compared to $320 million in 1Q 2025, as discussed above.

Recent developments

• On June 18, 2025, in accordance with the definitive Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) signed between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel Corporation (“NSC”) on October 11, 2024, the Company confirms that it has completed the acquisition of NSC’s 50% equity stake in AM/NS Calvert, with ArcelorMittal already holding the balance. The facility, now renamed ArcelorMittal Calvert, was originally acquired by ArcelorMittal and NSC in 2014 from ThyssenKrupp for total consideration of $1.55 billion. The operation was originally built at a cost of approximately $5 billion. It commenced operations in 2010 and has a flat rolled steel capacity of 5.3 million metric tonnes, annually. It is one of the most advanced steel making facilities in North America, with assets that include: State-of-the-art hot strip mill (HSM) designed to roll advanced high strength steels (AHSS), Line Pipe and Stainless products; Continuous Pickling Line (CPL) and coupled Pickle Line-Tandem Cold Mill (PLTCM) optimized for auto production (including exposed); and Coating and Continuous Annealing Lines, galvanized, galvanneal, aluminized, and cold rolled, which can supply advanced automotive grades including Gen3 AHSS and Press Hardened Steel (PHS).
• On May 5, 2025, following approval by the Brazilian antitrust authority CADE on April 4, 2025, ArcelorMittal acquired control of the Brazilian pipe producer Tuper, a joint venture in which it already held a 40% interest for $0.2 billion. Tuper is one of the largest steel processing companies in Latin America serving oil and gas, civil construction, infrastructure, industrial and automotive markets.
• On April 1, 2025, ArcelorMittal increased its interest in the joint venture AMTBA from 80% to 90% and regained control following certain amendments of the shareholders' agreement. AMTBA manufactures light-weighting solutions for the automotive industry through laser welding and has facilities across Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Outlook

Due to ongoing tariff headwinds, economic activity remains subdued; no restocking has been observed as customers maintain a “wait and see” approach. This has created some headwinds to demand that were not anticipated at the beginning of the year, concentrated in the United States, where flat product apparent steel consumption (ASC) is now forecast to decline slightly in 2025 within the range of -2.0% to 0% (as compared to growth of 1.0% to 3.0% forecast at the beginning of the year). Section 232 tariffs have also increased costs and negatively impacted the supply/demand balance in Canada and Mexico markets.

In Europe demand is faring relatively better, and flat product ASC growth is expected in the range of -0.5% to +1.5% in 2025, only marginally below the forecast at the beginning of the year (+0% to +2.0%) due to more limited direct tariff impacts and support from lower interest rates. Looking beyond the near-term challenges (seasonal demand weakness and manufacturing activity at stable but low levels), inventories in Europe remain low, and the prospects of incremental trade policy support, a strengthened carbon border adjustment mechanism, together with higher infrastructure and defense spending, may materially improve the medium-term outlook.

So far this year, steel demand in Brazil has been stronger than initial expectations, and the Company now forecasts positive ASC growth of up to 2.0% in 2025 (vs. a stable demand forecast previously). India continues to be the fastest growing major steel market, with demand well supported particularly by infrastructure investment; ASC remains on track to increase in the range of 6.0% to 7.0% in 2025.

As a result, World ex-China ASC is now expected to grow by +1.5% to +2.5% in 2025, as compared to the initial +2.5% to +3.5% guidance provided at the beginning of the year. China’s steel industry capacity remains unsustainable, and its elevated exports continue to weigh on ex-China fundamentals. China demand is expected to remain broadly stable in 2025, with the tariff impacts on exports and real estate weakness being offset by manufacturing and infrastructure demand.

Further contributions from strategic growth projects and Calvert consolidation should support 2H 2025 profitability which will face increased headwinds from Section 232 tariffs and impacts of seasonality. Free cash flow is expected to be positive in 2025, supported by a release of working capital in 2H 2025.

Looking to the medium term, the Company remains positive on the steel demand outlook and believes that it is optimally positioned to execute its strategy of growth with capital returns, and therefore has made no changes to its investment or capital return plans. Capex for 2025 remains guided at $4.5–$5.0 billion, including $1.4–$1.5 billion for strategic growth and $0.3–$0.4 billion for decarbonization projects. Furthermore, the completion and ramp-up of the Company’s strategic growth projects is expected to support structurally higher EBITDA and investable cash flow in the coming periods.

Adjusted net income: refers to reported net income(loss) less impairment items and exceptional items (including mark-to-market on purchase of Vallourec shares and related tax impacts and one-off tax charges).

Apparent steel consumption: calculated as the sum of production plus imports minus exports.

Average steel selling prices: calculated as steel sales divided by steel shipments.

Cash and cash equivalents: represent cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments.

Capex: represents the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangibles. The Group’s capex figures do not include capex at the JVs level (i.e. AMNS India and AM/NS Calvert until June 18, 2025).

The financial information in this press release has been prepared consistently with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union. The interim financial information included in this announcement has also been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim periods, however this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. 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.
5. September 2020 was the inception date of the ongoing share buyback programs. Under the new 10 million share buyback program launched in April 2025, the Company has repurchased 2 million shares (~20%) in 2Q 2025 of the tranche.
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 the construction of a new high added value finishing line (cold rolling mill) and a continuous coating line at Tubarão facility. The project is undergoing internal approvals, and ArcelorMittal Brasil is currently moving forward with detailed engineering (full feasibility study). As of June 30, 2025, last twelve months investable cash flow of $2.3 billion consisting of cash flow from operations of $4.9 billion less normative/maintenance capex of $2.6 billion.
7. Liquidity at the end of June 30, 2025, of $11.0 billion consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $5.5 billion (including cash and cash equivalents held as part of assets held for sale) and $5.5 billion of available credit lines. On April 30, 2025, the facility agent confirmed that all Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) lenders have agreed to our one-year extension request dated February 2, 2025. Consequently, the maturity of the ArcelorMittal $5.5 billion RCF is extended by one year to May 29, 2030.
8. Assets and liabilities held for sale are related to the announced divestment of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia (Europe) and Tubular subsidiaries.
9. The acquisition of Votorantim’s long steel business in Brazil in 2018 significantly strengthened ArcelorMittal’s market position, adding approximately 2 million tonnes 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.
10. Updated status of selected strategic projects: Mardyck: Due to the brownfield nature of this project, unforeseen challenges in civil works have caused delays in the annealing and varnishing lines (ACL) part to 2H 2025 (previously 1H 2025). The annealing and pickling line (APL) and reversing mill (REV) part is also extended to 2H 2026 (previously 2H 2025) to perform additional studies to define the extent of the works. Las Truchas: delay from 1H 2026 to 2H 2026 is linked due to delays in obtaining environmental permits. AMNS India’s auto downstream complex is expected to be fully commissioned at the end of 2025. CGL3 was commissioned at Hazira in July 2025. Plans underway for further capacity expansion in Hazira and land acquisition started for 7.3Mtpa greenfield project in Andhra Pradesh (east coast).

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”, “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 and EBITDA/tonne, free cash flow (FCF), adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share and the ratio of net debt/LTM EBITDA 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 cashflow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex, and the Company thus believes that it represents a cashflow that is available for allocation at management’s discretion. The Company’s guidance as to 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.
