Business overview
Key factors affecting results of operations
Please refer to the "Operating and financial review" section of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for a description of the key factors affecting the Company’s results of operations. The purpose of this section is to provide an update for the period between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
During the first half of 2026, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and its impact on the energy markets, negatively impacted the global economy, industrial activity, and steel markets. Since March 2026, the conflict has driven energy prices higher, particularly for oil and natural gas, following the closure of and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. It has also disrupted supplies of other commodities, including fertilizers, aluminum, sulfur, and helium. Higher energy costs have increased inflationary pressures globally, although the impact has varied significantly by region. Major energy importers such as Asia-Pacific and Europe, have been more adversely affected, while the impact on energy exporters, including the U.S. has been relatively limited. The resulting increase in costs has weighed directly on economic activity and steel demand, while also contributing to a more cautious interest rate environment among major central banks. Although a temporary ceasefire and a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S. eased energy prices from their April 2026 peaks, hostilities subsequently resumed. Ongoing disruptions may have significant adverse economic effects, particularly in light of further disruption to energy markets and upward pressure on energy prices, and energy markets are expected to remain volatile.
As a result, steel demand fundamentals in the EU remained subdued during the first half of 2026, as the region faced increased exposure to higher energy prices, particularly with respect to natural gas. In addition, the anticipated benefits from increased infrastructure spending in Germany have yet to materialize, due to planning and implementation delays. By contrast, real demand in the U.S. remained relatively strong, supported by resilient consumer spending (despite higher inflation), continued investment in AI-related projects, increased fiscal spending under the One Big Beautiful Act, and a significant rise in oil and gas exports. Despite the difference in demand fundamentals between the two regions, steel prices and spreads have been supported by trade measures aimed at reducing imports, notably the 50% tariffs on steel in the U.S. in place since 2025, and the EU steel safeguard measures to be implemented in the second half of 2026.
In Brazil, following a period of strong but cyclical real demand in 2024 and into 2025, real demand remained subdued during the first half of 2026 as interest rates stayed elevated, easing only slightly to 14.25% from 15% at the end of 2025. Apparent steel demand also declined as inventories began to normalize from
previous elevated levels. Another important market for the Company is India, where steel demand grew strongly by approximately 10% in 2023 and 2024, before moderating to 9% in 2025. During the first half of 2026, while growth in infrastructure activities slowed slightly from the strong pace in 2025 (growth in the output of infrastructure and construction goods slowed slightly to approximately 8% from 8.5% in 2025), steel demand growth remained robust, supported by continued strength in manufacturing activity, particularly in the automotive sector.
Historically, demand dynamics in China have also substantially affected the global steel business, mainly due to significant changes in net steel exports. In the first half of 2026, Chinese steel demand remained weak, reflecting weak domestic demand from persistent weakness of the real estate sector, although this was partially offset by infrastructure spending and resilient manufacturing activity supported by strong exports. As a result, despite lower steel production reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), net Chinese crude flat steel exports remained high, averaging approximately 5.8 million tonnes during the first half of 2026, compared with 6.3 million tonnes in the first half of 2025. While the 2026 outlook for domestic demand remains largely dependent on the timing and scale of the government stimulus to support growth, Chinese overcapacity and the need to export are expected to persist across many industries. Moreover, the Company continues to expect Chinese steel demand to decline over the medium-term, as infrastructure spending has been front-loaded and real estate demand is likely to weaken structurally due to lower rates of rural-to-urban migration. If this anticipated decline in demand is not accompanied by further capacity closures, Chinese steel exports could remain at or above current elevated levels, putting downward pressure on global steel prices and spreads.
As described in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, the Company’s results are affected by the various factors impacting the prices at which steel is sold (spot, short-term and long-term contract prices and raw material prices (including iron ore and coal)) as well as pricing lags and resulting price-cost effects (which may be positive or negative).
The Company’s operating profitability is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in raw material prices. Volatility on steel margins aside, the results of the Company’s Mining segment (which sells externally as well as internally) are directly impacted by iron ore prices. Pricing is generally linked to market price indexes and uses a variety of mechanisms, including current spot prices and average prices over specified periods. Therefore, there may not be a direct correlation between market reference prices and actual selling prices in various regions at a given time. See

Economic environment
Since the COVID-19 disruption in 2020-21, the global economy has faced a series of adverse shocks, from high inflation and elevated interest rates in 2021-22, exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to increased trade tensions and uncertainty related to U.S tariffs in 2025. The global economy entered 2026 with moderate momentum and stability, supported by easing inflation, resilient labor markets and the gradual absorption of the 2025 tariff shock. However, since March 2026 the Middle East conflict and the resulting closure of and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have led to higher oil and gas prices, and renewed pressure on food, fertilizer and industrial input costs, stalling much of this momentum.
The impact has been uneven across regions. Economies more dependent on imported oil, gas and fertilizer have faced stronger inflationary and greater strain on external finances, while those with greater energy self-sufficiency or stronger policy buffers have been relatively insulated. In advanced economies, the conflict has mainly delayed the return of inflation to target levels, while in several emerging markets inflation has increased through higher energy import costs, currency weakness and food-price inflation. As a result, the global economy is in a more fragile position than it was at the start of the year, with the ultimate impact depending on the duration of the conflict in the Middle East, the normalization of Gulf energy flows and the extent to which higher energy prices feed into broader inflation expectations.
In the U.S., economic activity has remained more resilient than in other regions, largely due to its position as a major energy exporter. During the first half of 2026, real GDP grew at approximately 2.5%, up from 2.1% in 2025, supported by business investment, particularly in AI-related infrastructure, while consumer spending moderated. Although the U.S. has been less exposed than Europe or India to physical energy shortages, higher petrol and grocery prices have weighed on household purchasing power, while elevated oil and industrial commodity prices have renewed upward pressure on headline inflation. This has complicated the monetary policy outlook, with expectations for rate cuts fading as inflation has remained more persistent than previously expected. The effective Federal funds interest rate has been maintained at 3.5%-3.75%. While economic activity remained positive in the first half of 2026, the inflationary impact of higher energy and commodities prices reduced the Federal Reserve’s scope to ease policy.
In the EU, economic activity entered 2026 from a weak base. Growth in 2025 remained subdued due to the lagged impact of high interest rates, persistent weakness in industrial sectors and
uncertainty around global trade. During the first half of 2026, the impact of the Middle East conflict was more significant than in the U.S., reflecting Europe’s reliance on imported energy, particularly natural gas, and its already weak industrial momentum. After GDP growth of 1.6% in 2025, growth is expected to slow to 0.8% in the first half of 2026, as higher energy costs, weaker confidence and lower real disposable income weigh on domestic demand. This comes on top of existing structural challenges, including high input costs, weaker industrial competitiveness, subdued investment and aging-related pressures on labor supply and public finances. Higher energy prices pushed headline Consumer Price Index ("CPI") to 3.5% in May, from 2.0% at the beginning of the year, prompting the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to increase interest rates from 2.2% to 2.4%. While the impact is not expected to be as severe as the 2022 energy crisis, Europe remains one of the major regions most exposed to the conflict, particularly given its already weak industrial momentum and the fact that the shock occurred just as the economic conditions were beginning to improve.
In China, economic growth remained relatively resilient, with GDP growth of approximately 4.8% in the first half of 2026, only slightly below the 5.0% recorded in 2025. Growth continued to be bifurcated, with strong export-oriented manufacturing offsetting weaker domestic demand. The challenges that shaped the 2025 outlook remain, including a weak property sector, indebted local governments, subdued household consumption and persistent demand weakness. China has continued to rely heavily on manufacturing, exports and targeted policy support, particularly in high-tech and strategic sectors, to sustain growth. The Middle East conflict has not affected China to the same extent as other Asian economies, which are more dependent on energy imports, although it has increased pressure through higher import costs, weaker industrial profitability and a more uncertain external demand environment. However, despite being a net importer of oil and gas, China has been relatively insulated from energy supply disruptions due to significant crude and refined product inventories, together with alternative energy sources such as coal and renewables.
In Brazil, a major commodity exporter (including of oil), the energy trade surplus has increased and the stronger terms of trade have supported the real, with oil production rising significantly in the second quarter of 2026. Growth during the first half of 2026 was also supported by fiscal measures, including personal income tax reform and higher social welfare spending. Overall, Brazil’s economy has remained resilient despite inflation rising further above the central bank's 3.0% target, reaching 4.7% in May 2026, and expectations for future inflation continuing to rise. However, with interest rates remaining elevated at 14.25%, there is scope for further interest rate cuts. GDP growth is estimated to have remained at 1.8% in

the first half of 2026, similar to the second half of 2025 (2.6% growth in 2025 was mainly in the first half, before moderating in the second half).
Among the large emerging economies, India is the most exposed to the negative effects of the Middle East conflict. India entered 2026 with strong growth momentum, supported by domestic demand, services activity and investment, but its heavy reliance on energy imports has made it particularly vulnerable to higher crude oil, gas and shipping costs. Headline CPI rose to 3.9% in May 2026, a 15-month high. While the Reserve Bank of India kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% during the first half of 2026, higher energy prices, supply-chain disruptions and potential food price increases have added risks to both growth and inflation, increasing the likelihood of future rate hikes. Overall, GDP growth slowed slightly to 7.3% in the first half of 2026, from 7.5% in 2025. Despite these temporary headwinds, India economic fundamentals are strong, supported by significant domestic demand potentials, and will likely to remain one of the best emerging market performers over the medium term.
Manufacturing activity remained resilient during the first half of 2026 despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and higher energy costs following the Middle East conflict. After global manufacturing output grew by 4% in 2025, supported by approximately 6% growth in China and 2.4% in ex-China, similar trends continued in the first half of 2026. China strengthened further, with manufacturing output increasing by approximately 5.4% year-on-year, driven by export-oriented industries and high-tech manufacturing, while ex-China output grew by approximately 2%. Manufacturing output in developing economies excluding China accelerated further to approximately 4.5% year-on-year, reflecting strong growth in India (approximately 5.4%) and ASEAN (approximately 4.6%), supported by robust domestic demand. In contrast, manufacturing activity in developed markets remained subdued, growing by approximately 1.0% year-on-year, as higher energy costs, elevated interest rates and weak industrial demand continued to constrain activity. Within developed economies, manufacturing output in Developed Asia grew by approximately 4.6% year-on-year, driven by AI-related demand for high-tech products. By comparison, output in the EU27 contracted by approximately 0.6%, reflecting persisting competitiveness challenges and weaker industrial momentum, while U.S. manufacturing output increased by approximately 1%.
During the first half of 2026, apparent steel consumption ("ASC") in China remained weak as continued weakness in the real estate sector, characterized by stagnant projects and limited improvement in sales, led to further contraction in steel demand. Manufacturing remained the main offset, increasingly supported by exports and overseas demand as domestic consumption remained subdued. In ex-China, ASC in 2025 benefitted from a
surge in Chinese imports, resulting in significant inventory build-up. In the first half of 2026, real demand improved despite high energy prices, but this was partially offset by inventory normalization as trade measures were implemented across several regions reduced imports. For example, in Brazil, despite broadly stagnant real demand, ASC declined by 5% year-on-year as imports fell by 20% following the implementation of steel trade measures in February 2026. In the EU27, ASC growth remained limited, with real demand broadly stable despite higher energy prices. In contrast, the U.S. benefitted from stronger real demand and lean inventories, supporting ASC growth, with long products continuing to outperform flat products.

Steel production
During the first half of 2026, global crude steel production declined by approximately 1% year-on-year, reflecting lower reported steel production in China, where official NBS data indicated a decline of approximately 3% year-on-year. Meanwhile, ex-China steel production increased by approximately 2% year-on-year, supported by growth across both developed and developing markets.
In developed markets, crude steel production increased by approximately 2% year-on-year during the first half of 2026. Higher production in North America, particularly in the U.S, more than offset weaker output elsewhere. U.S. steel production increased by approximately 7% year-on-year, averaging 7.1 million tonnes. Supported by continued growth in steel demand, domestic production rose in response to lower steel imports following the introduction of 50% steel tariffs last year. In Europe, steel production was broadly stable compared with the first half of 2025, averaging approximately 10.8 million tonnes, as steel demand conditions remained subdued. Similarly, steel production in Developed Asia remained largely stable at approximately 13 million tonnes.
In developing markets excluding China, steel production increased by approximately 2% year-on-year during the first half of 2026. This was primarily driven by continued strong growth in India, where production increased by approximately 7% year-on-year, supported by robust domestic demand from the infrastructure, construction and manufacturing sectors. Steel production also increased significantly in ASEAN (estimated

approximately 10%) and Turkey (8%). However, this was partly offset by weaker production elsewhere, particularly in the Middle East, where production declined by approximately 7% year-on-year due to the ongoing conflict in the region.

Steel prices
In relation to flat products, European hot rolled coil ("HRC") prices (Northern and Southern), U.S. domestic Midwest HRC prices and Chinese spot HRC prices (VAT excluded), over the 2025-2026 period transitioned from localized stabilization to global price escalation. In the first half of 2025, price movements remained largely stable except in the U.S., where prices improved significantly. In the first half of 2026, prices improved radically across all monitored regions. The U.S. market demonstrated the strongest absolute price acceleration, China HRC prices remained largely stable in Q1 2026 at $417 before strengthening in Q2 2026 to $439.
In relation to long products, European medium sections, European rebar, and Turkish export rebar spot prices over the 2025-2026 period transitioned from an overall downward trend in the second half of 2025 into consecutive quarterly price recoveries during the first half of 2026. In the first half of 2026, prices improved steadily across all three product categories. European medium sections prices moved above their early 2025 baseline, averaging €816/tonne in the second quarter of 2026. European rebar and Turkish export rebar prices recorded consecutive quarter-on-quarter increases, continuing their recovery towards the price levels observed in early 2025.
Movements in prices over these periods have been driven by a number of factors affecting demand and supply in such markets, including the implementation of new TRQ and protective safeguard legislation in Europe (from July 1, 2026), import tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, global freight disruptions resulting from in the Middle East conflict.

Raw materials
Iron ore
In the first half of 2026, seaborne iron ore prices increased sequentially, averaging $105.79/t in the first quarter and $107.13/t in the second quarter. The upward momentum was primarily driven by the surging freight rates associated with the Middle East conflict, which more than offset the downward pressure from China Mineral Resources Group's ("CMRG") decision to lift its restrictions on purchases of BHP cargoes (increasing the supply of iron ore to Chinese buyers).
Coking coal
In the first half of 2026, coking coal prices strengthened, averaging $236.07/t in the first quarter and increasing slightly to $239.80/t in the second quarter. Prices surged in the first quarter of 2026 by $35.40/t from the fourth quarter of 2025 following severe supply disruptions caused by Cyclone Koji in Queensland, Australia, which significantly tightened seaborne availability. The rally was sustained by firm Indian demand, low spot availability, and production delays at some major mines in Australia, with sentiment further supported by global energy market volatility linked to the Middle East conflict. Chinese

demand remained muted as buyers were largely covered by domestic and Mongolian supply, limiting their reliance on seaborne imports. In the second quarter of 2026, prices remained firm as low spot availability and ongoing shipment delays persisted. Indian demand continued to support the market, while Chinese buying interest increased in late May after a Shanxi mine accident triggered large-scale mine safety inspections, reducing domestic supply and encouraging Chinese buyers to re-enter the seaborne market.

Ferro alloys and base metals
Ferro alloys
The underlying price driver for manganese alloys is the price of manganese ore, which averaged $5.24 per dry metric ton unit ("/dmtu") (for 44% lump ore) on Cost, Insurance and Freight ("CIF") China for the first half of 2026 as compared to an average of $4.64/dmtu for the first half of 2025.
The average price of high carbon ferro manganese in the first half of 2026 was $1,288/t, higher compared to $1,224/t in the first half of 2025. The average price of silicon manganese in the first half of 2026 was $1,341/t, higher compared to $1,283/t in the first half of 2025. The average price of medium carbon ferro manganese in the first half of 2026 was $1,720/t, lower compared to $1,816/t during the first half of 2025.
Base metals
The base metals used by ArcelorMittal are zinc, tin and aluminum for coating and deoxidization of liquid steel and nickel for producing stainless or special steels. ArcelorMittal partially hedges its exposure to its base metal inputs in accordance with its risk management policies.
The average price of zinc in the first half of 2026 was $3,353/t, representing a 22.4% increase compared to the average price of $2,739/t in the first half of 2025.
The average price of tin in the first half of 2026 was $50,279/t, representing a 56.5% increase compared to the first half 2025 average of $32,116/t.
The average price of Primary Aluminum (LME Cash Settlement) in the first half of 2026 was $3,386/t, representing a 33.3% increase as compared to the average price of $2,539/t in the first half of 2025.
The average price of nickel in the first half of 2026 was $17,731/t, representing a 15.3% increase compared to the first half of 2025 average of $15,371/t.

Oil
Brent crude oil price averaged $87.53 per barrel ("/bbl") in the first half of 2026, a $16.69/bbl increase as compared to $70.84/bbl in the first half of 2025. Brent crude oil price volatility over the 2025–2026 period has been exacerbated by a number of geopolitical and macroeconomic factors including: U.S. trade tariffs, the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and consequences of the blockade of and disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, production decisions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and other countries, embargoes on Russian oil, cautious monetary policy (including by the U.S. Federal Reserve), and general perception over the economic outlook.
CO2
The average price for one tonne of CO2 emitted in the first half of 2026 increased by 6.3% as compared to the first half of 2025 and reached €77.1 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent ("/tCO2e").
Variations in the price per ton of CO₂ equivalent are driven by a number of factors, including compliance buying, policy decisions relating to the EU Emissions Trading System ("EU-ETS"), broader regulatory uncertainty, temperatures, and natural gas prices and storage levels, which influence the level of power generation from coal-fired power plants.
Because the integrated steel process leads to substantial CO2 emissions, costs related to EU allowances ("EUA") and the fluctuations in EUA prices can significantly affect the Company’s costs of production. The Company recognized a CO2 emission obligation provision of $787 million at June 30, 2026 with respect to its shortfall. See note 11 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in prices of emission rights allowances from time to time. See note 10 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Natural gas
The price of natural gas at Title Transfer Facility ("TTF spot price”, as assessed and published by ICIS Heren) averaged €39.7/MWh in the first quarter of 2026, amid cold winter periods and rapid storage withdrawals, leaving European storages 28% full by the end of March (-5.7% year on year). In early March, the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East and the resulting disruption to vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz heightened concerns over the security of global liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) supplies, pushing prices to a high of €61.1/MWh on March 20, 2026. The second quarter of 2026 was largely affected by geopolitical risks and shifting expectations around a potential peace agreement, leading to an average price of €45.7/MWh. The interim peace agreement signed on June 2026 temporarily eased geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran towards the end of the second quarter. Hostilities subsequently resumed in July 2026. Overall, the TTF spot price averaged €42.7/MWh in the first half of 2026 reflecting both tight market fundamentals and elevated geopolitical risk premiums.
In the U.S., Henry Hub ("HH", the main gas hub in Louisiana) prices averaged $3.5 per million British thermal units ("/MMBtu") in the first quarter of 2026, supported by increased heating demand, lower production and tight gas inventories. While the U.S.-Iran conflict did not affect the domestic gas market, stronger LNG feed gas demand from U.S. liquefaction terminals operating near peak capacity provided additional support to prices. In the second quarter of 2026, HH prices averaged $2.9/MMBtu as milder weather reduced heating demand, natural gas production remained robust and storage injections accelerated. Overall, HH prices averaged $3.2/MMBtu in the first half of 2026, reflecting a transition from tight winter market conditions to a more balanced supply-demand environment.
In the first quarter of 2026, Japan Korea Marker ("JKM", the benchmark for LNG cargoes in Northeast Asia) prices averaged $13.4/MMBtu. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz in early March and destruction of certain LNG trains and facilities in the Middle East significantly disrupted LNG shipments to Asian markets, given their reliance on long-term contracts for Qatari LNG, which was unable to transit through the Persian Gulf. In the second quarter of 2026, prices rose to an average of $17.7/MMBtu, driven by supply constraints, uncertainty regarding the recovery of Qatari LNG exports, and labor strikes at Australian LNG terminals. Overall, JKM prices averaged $15.5/MMBtu in the first half of 2026.

Electricity - Europe
Due to the regional nature of electricity markets, prices follow mainly local drivers (e.g., energy mix of the respective country, power generation from renewables such as nuclear, country specific energy policies), as well as temperatures and natural gas prices (positively correlated). Consistent with prior periods, power prices in the first half of 2026 were greatly affected by natural gas and CO2 prices, with the marginal cost of power generation from gas power plants serving as a key indicator for electricity prices.

Ocean freight
Dry bulk trade has performed better than expected in the first half of 2026 despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, with time charter rates rising sharply, particularly in the second quarter of 2026. The market has been supported
by a significant increase in effective demand driven by structural inefficiencies rather than cargo volumes alone. Longer voyage distances, slow steaming, extended ballast periods, volatility in fuel oil prices, and operational disruptions related to the Middle East conflict have reduced effective fleet availability and contributed to higher freight rates across market segments.
The direct impact of the Middle East conflict on the overall dry bulk market stems more from secondary effects, such as rising fuel oil prices, higher risk premiums and broader economic repercussions, rather than direct trade volume losses. Freight rates for bulk carriers have generally increased in line with rising energy and bunker costs, reflecting the market's sensitivity to higher operating expenses and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
In the first half of 2026, total dry bulk trade increased by 3.7% compared with the same period in 2025, supported by stronger iron ore and bauxite demand, as well as recovery in coal volumes. Grain trade also remained resilient, although some minor bulk commodities continued to face disruptions related to the Middle East conflict. On the supply side, the global dry bulk fleet is projected to grow by 3.8% year-on-year in 2026, although effective capacity remains constrained by operational inefficiencies.The dry bulk freight market outlook for 2026 is expected to remain supported by additional long-haul iron ore volumes from West Africa. Additionally, higher energy prices, uncertainty around gas supplies, and potential weather-related impacts from El Niño could increase coal demand for power generation across Europe and Asia. While these factors are supportive for vessel demand, they may also keep freight rates elevated, increasing transportation costs.
The Baltic Dry Index ("BDI") average for the first half of 2026 was 2,347 points compared to 1,293 points in the first half of 2025. Capesize average timecharter rates for the first half of 2026 have increased 86% year-on-year, averaging $29,494/day, as compared to $15,839/day for the same period in 2025. The average rates for full year 2025 were $21,297/day. The Panamax market has also been strong, with time charter rates averaging $17,283/day in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 61% as compared to $10,720/day in the first half of 2025. Average rates in 2025 were $13,361/day.
Impact of exchange rate movements
Because a substantial portion of ArcelorMittal’s assets, liabilities, sales and earnings are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (its reporting currency), ArcelorMittal has exposure to fluctuations in the values of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. During the first half of 2026, the Company was mainly subject to foreign exchange exposure relating to the euro, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Indian rupee, South African rand, Mexican peso, Polish zloty, Argentinian peso and Ukrainian hryvnia against the U.S. dollar resulting from its payables, receivables, or other foreign

Trade and import competition
Europe
After a surge in imports during the second half of 2025 ahead of CBAM and trade measures, imports declined during the first half of 2026, and were estimated to be approximately 5% lower year-on-year. Coupled with limited growth in apparent steel consumption ("ASC"), import penetration decreased to approximately 18% during the first half of 2026, compared with 21% in 2025.

United States
During the first half of 2026, imports remained broadly stable at the lower levels seen following the implementation of 50% tariffs on steel products in June 2025. With little change in imports and broadly stable ASC, import penetration remained at approximately 15% during the first half of 2026, broadly in line with the penetration rate during the second half of 2025, and down from 20% in the first half of 2025.

China
During the first half of 2026, due to persistent weak domestic demand, Chinese steel producers continued to divert excess production to export markets. As a result, finished steel exports averaged 9.1 million tonnes per month, broadly in line with the high export levels seen over the past three years (2023 to 2025).
While most Chinese exports are delivered to regions which are not core to the Company’s business due to the protection of trade measures, Chinese exports continue to negatively impact the Company both directly and indirectly. See "Business overview—Government regulations—Foreign trade" and "Introduction—Risk Factors and Control—Risks related to the global economy and the mining and steel industry—Unfair trade practices, import tariffs and/or barriers to free trade could negatively affect steel prices and ArcelorMittal’s results of operations in various markets" in the 2025 Annual Report.

Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2025
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with ArcelorMittal's interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. ArcelorMittal reports
its operations in six segments: North America, Brazil, Europe, India and JVs, Sustainable Solutions and Mining.
Key indicators
The key performance indicators that ArcelorMittal’s management uses to analyze performance and operations are the lost time injury frequency rate ("LTIFR", referring to "lost time injury frequency rate equals lost time injuries per 1,000,000 worked hours, based on own personnel and contractors"), the Recordable Injury Rate ("RIR"), the fatality frequency rate ("FFR"), sales, average steel selling prices, crude steel production, steel shipments, iron ore production and operating income. Management’s analysis of liquidity and capital resources is driven by net cash provided by operating activities.
Health and safety
Safety is one of the Company's core values. The Company is in the second year of its three-year safety transformation program, with the focus this year on embedding the foundations established in 2025 and driving consistent execution across the business. Key priorities include strengthening leadership capability, process and construction safety, and contractor integration, while working closely with joint ventures to align safety expectations and support implementation of the Company's safety framework. By continuing to strengthen these capabilities and integrate safety more deeply into business processes, the Company aims to deliver sustained improvements in safety performance and progress towards its ambition of zero fatalities and serious injuries.
Key areas of progress in 2026 included:
•Safety leadership: Earlier this year, ArcelorMittal launched large-scale leadership and functional capability assessments across all operational leadership levels, from frontline supervisors to senior leaders, based on the updated Health & Safety Leadership Competency Model introduced in 2025. The model defines the leadership behaviors and safety capabilities required to strengthen our safety culture, including Visible-Felt Leadership, hazard identification, risk assessment and the implementation of effective critical controls. More than 8,000 leaders have been assessed in 2026 and the results of the assessment are being used to inform individual development plans and targeted learning pathways through an enhanced Health & Safety Academy. Leadership progression will increasingly reflect an individual's ability to foster a strong safety culture and demonstrate strong health and safety leadership. By strengthening leadership capabilities and expectations across all levels of the organization, these initiatives are helping to embed a more consistent and resilient safety culture throughout ArcelorMittal.
•Contractor integration: Contractor safety remained a critical priority during the first half of 2026, marked by the upgrade of

Business overview
continued
ArcelorMittal's Contractor Health & Safety Management Standard, which establishes a Group-wide framework to strengthen oversight, improve consistency and reduce contractor-related risks across all operations and projects. The Standard establishes a common framework ensuring a consistent, risk-based approach throughout the contractor lifecycle. Structured around key stages including contractor categorization, selection and contracting, onboarding, pre-work verification, work execution and post-contract evaluation, it is designed to ensure that contractors are effectively assessed and supported to work safely. The Standard also clarifies roles, responsibilities and governance requirements across ArcelorMittal teams, strengthening accountability and oversight. By embedding consistent practices and expectations across the organization, it supports the Company's overarching objective of preventing fatalities and serious injuries and fostering a stronger safety culture among both employees and contractors.
•Process safety: Process Safety Management continued to mature during the first half of 2026 through the implementation of a structured, and risk-based approach across the Company. A key milestone was the release of the Process Safety Manual, supported by a series of interim guidelines and procedures covering critical Process Safety Management ("PSM") elements, providing a consistent framework to accelerate risk reduction and strengthen operational discipline. The Company’s process safety pilot sites continue to play a critical role in validating and refining the new standards and guidance. Several first-wave pilot locations have now completed their first year of implementation, demonstrating encouraging progress in risk management practices, process safety governance and overall safety culture. While significant work remains to fully embed the program, the positive momentum and engagement observed across the pilot sites provide confidence in the long-term direction of the initiative. The Company's focus on process safety management is helping to strengthen the identification of critical controls, improve risk visibility and support a more consistent approach to managing major hazard risks across operations.
•Safety Integration in Capital Projects ("SICP"): ArcelorMittal continued to advance its SICP framework during the first half of 2026, reinforcing its commitment to ensuring safety is considered from the earliest stages of project development through construction, commissioning, and operational start-up. The framework, developed by the Group Project Management Office and aligned with the Company's Capital Investments Project Methodology (CIPM 2.0), has been applied across a diverse range of projects globally. Through this approach, safety risks can be identified, assessed, and addressed earlier in the project lifecycle,
supporting safer execution, and enhancing the safety performance of future operations. As the program's design and validation phase approached completion, ArcelorMittal continued preparing for broader deployment by establishing governance, assurance, competency, and performance management processes to support consistent implementation across its capital project portfolio. The initiative represents an important step in strengthening risk management and embedding a proactive safety culture across the Company's investment activities.
•Joint ventures: In parallel, the Company is working closely with its joint ventures to align safety expectations, strengthen collaboration and support the implementation of the safety framework across jointly operated assets. During the first half of 2026, the Corporate Health and Safety team provided extensive support to AMNS India, the Company’s largest joint venture, helping to strengthen safety leadership and execution discipline across operations and major capital projects. Key initiatives included a structured coaching program for 58 senior operational leaders, shop floor coaching sessions focused on risk recognition and control effectiveness, and training delivered to local safety teams on the top 4 fatality prevention standards. These efforts support the development of local safety capability and help embed consistent safety standards across AMNS India's operations.
Performance in 2026
Safety performance showed encouraging year-on-year improvement during the first half of 2026, with reductions in both the LTIFR and the RIR compared with the first six months of 2025. The LTIFR is now at a record low for a 6-month period. However, the FFR remained broadly stable, and the period was marked by four fatalities: one in Poland and three in Ukraine. The Company is deeply saddened by these losses and extends its heartfelt condolences to the families, friends and colleagues affected. These events reinforce the importance of maintaining a strong focus on embedding the Company's three-year safety transformation program across the organization.
The Poland fatal incident occurred when an employee was caught in a moving machinery during a troubleshooting activity. Following a thorough investigation, engineered controls around moving equipment were reviewed and further upgraded to reduce further risk.
Three of the fatalities occurred in Ukraine, following a fatality-free year in the country in 2025. While the operating environment remains challenging due to the ongoing conflict, the Company remains firmly focused on identifying fatality risks, verifying critical controls and strengthening safety performance across its Ukrainian operations.

| Interim Management Report | 13 |
Business overview
continued
In response to the fatalities, a 90-day safety quarantine was launched across all Ukrainian operations under the leadership of the CEO of ArcelorMittal Ukraine. The quarantine program included a systematic assessment of workplaces, equipment and tasks at all sites to identify fatality risks and confirm the effectiveness of critical controls. Following the review, a number of measures were implemented, including enhanced verification of critical controls prior to the commencement of work, an electrical safety reinforcement program, and strengthened contractor safety governance through increased field supervision.
Supported by a clear and actionable plan, the entire organization is focused on reducing variability in safety performance and delivering continued, measurable progress as it advances through the second year of the transformation program.

Total sales increased by 4.9% from $30.7 billion in the first half of 2025 to $32.2 billion in the first half of 2026 primarily due to higher average steel selling prices partially offset by lower shipments.
Operating income of $1.8 billion in the first half of 2026 was lower as compared to $2.8 billion for the first half of 2025. Operating income in the first half of 2025 included a $1.9 billion bargain purchase gain upon acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in AMNS Calvert, partially offset by a $0.4 billion final settlement of the purchase price of Votorantim's long business in Brazil and $0.2 billion impairments related to the announced divestment of the Company's steel and mining operations in Bosnia. In the first half of 2026, operating income benefited from stronger results in Europe and North America (reflecting the impact of the Calvert acquisition) partly offset by weaker results in Brazil and Mining as compared to the first half of 2025.

*Included slabs sourced by North America from Group subsidiaries (primarily Brazil) and sold to the AMNS Calvert joint venture (until June 18, 2025) which were then eliminated on consolidation (826,000 tonnes in the first half of 2025).
Crude steel production remained stable in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025 with the impact of the Calvert EAF start up offset by lower production at other sites. Sales increased by 16.5% primarily due to 18.5% higher average steel selling prices and 5.4% higher steel shipments primarily due to the impact of Calvert acquisition. Operating income in the first half of 2026 was $0.5 billion as compared to $2.2 billion in the first half of 2025, which included a $1.9 billion bargain purchase gain upon the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity stake in AMNS Calvert. Excluding this gain, operating performance improved reflecting the impact of Calvert acquisition and higher average steel selling prices.

Crude steel production decreased by 7.3% in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to lower production in Asturias Spain (due to maintenance since September 2025 through May 2026) and in Dabrowa Poland (where a furnace was brought down in September 2025 before its restart at the end of April 2026 in response to improving demand), and the sale of the Company's Bosnian operations. Sales increased by 2.5% primarily due to an increase in average steel selling prices offset in part by lower steel shipments due to the reasons mentioned above. Operating income in the first half of 2025 included a $0.2 billion impairment charge related to the divestment of the Company's steel and mining operations in Bosnia. Excluding this impact, operating income increased in the first half of 2026, primarily due to a positive price cost effect offset in part by the lower steel shipments.

However, iron ore shipments in the second quarter of 2026 were lower at 9.4 million tonnes, primarily due to shipment timing delays in Liberia caused by heavy rainfall and weather-related constraints impacting port operations at AMMC, as compared to 9.9 million tonnes in the second quarter of of 2025, which included approximately 2 million tonnes of shipments in AMMC from inventory accumulated at the port during wharf rehabilitation. Sales increased by 6.6% in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025 driven by the increases in production and shipments. Operating income decreased by 31.3% in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to higher freight and operating costs and higher depreciation related to the phase 2 expansion in Liberia offset in part by the higher iron ore reference prices and iron ore shipments. See also "Raw Materials—Iron ore". Sales to external customers were $766 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 30.3% increase compared to $588 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher iron ore production and shipments.

3.Includes foreign currency swaps, bank fees, interest on pension obligations, impairment of financial instruments, revaluation of derivative instruments, and other charges that cannot be directly linked to operating results.
Net interest expense increased from $121 million in the first half of 2025 to $269 million in the first half of 2026 primarily due to higher average gross debt (including the impact from the consolidation of Calvert) and lower interest income. Interest income in the first half of 2025 included interest on certain amounts receivable (related to the disposal of the Kazakhstan operations), that were fully repaid in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as returns on U.S. dollar-linked investments in Argentina used to preserve the dollar value of cash balances. Net interest expense is expected to be approximately $550 million in 2026.
Foreign exchange and other net financing losses increased to $366 million in the first half of 2026 as compared to foreign exchange and other net financing gains of $123 million in the first half of 2025 primarily due to foreign exchange impacts, in particular a 3% appreciation of the US dollar against the euro while the first half of 2025 benefited from a 12.8% depreciation of the US dollar against the euro.
Income tax
ArcelorMittal’s income tax expense is affected by the income tax laws and regulations in effect in the various countries in which it operates and the pre-tax results of its subsidiaries in each of these countries, which can vary from year to year. ArcelorMittal operates in jurisdictions, mainly in Eastern Europe and Asia, which have a structurally lower corporate income tax rate than the statutory tax rate as in effect in Luxembourg (23.87%), as well as in jurisdictions, mainly in Western Europe and the Americas which have a structurally higher corporate income tax rate.
ArcelorMittal recorded an income tax expense of $311 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $454 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which included deferred tax expense of $140 million and $134 million, respectively (see note 8 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements).

Non-controlling interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $10 million as compared to $53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to the non-controlling shareholders’ share of net income recorded in AMMC and Belgo Bekaert Arames in Brazil.
Net income or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent
ArcelorMittal’s net income attributable to equity holders of the parent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1,258 million, or $1.65 basic earnings per common share, as compared to $2,598 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or $3.40 basic earnings per common share, for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and capital resources
ArcelorMittal’s principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from its operations and its credit facilities at the corporate level.
Impact of organizational structure
Because ArcelorMittal is a holding company, it is dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, its operating subsidiaries to pay expenses and meet its debt service obligations. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily centralized at the parent level and are managed by ArcelorMittal Treasury SNC, although from time to time cash or cash equivalent balances may be held at the Company’s international subsidiaries or its holding companies. Some of these operating subsidiaries have debt outstanding or are subject to acquisition agreements that impose restrictions on such operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, but such restrictions are not significant in the context of ArcelorMittal’s overall liquidity. Repatriation of funds from operating subsidiaries may also be affected by tax and foreign exchange policies in place from time to time in the various countries where the Company operates, though none of these policies are currently significant in the context of ArcelorMittal’s overall liquidity.
In management’s opinion, ArcelorMittal’s credit facilities and working capital are adequate for its present requirements.
ArcelorMittal had available borrowing capacity of $5.5 billion under its $5.5 billion revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 (see below "—Credit facilities").
Credit facilities
The principal financings of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries are summarized below by category. Further information regarding ArcelorMittal's short-term and long-term indebtedness is
provided in note 9 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
On May 29, 2024, ArcelorMittal signed an agreement for a $5.5 billion revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). This Facility incorporates a single tranche of $5.5 billion maturing on May 29, 2029, with two one-year extension options at the lenders’ discretion (i.e. the options to extend are to be exercised before the dates that are respectively one and two years after the signing date of the agreement). On April 30, 2025, and on April 13, 2026, ArcelorMittal exercised the options to extend the Facility's maturity by one year to May 29, 2030 and to May 29, 2031, respectively. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and was fully available as of June 30, 2026. The Facility contains restrictive covenants, which among other things, limit encumbrances on the assets of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries, the ability of ArcelorMittal’s subsidiaries to incur debt and the ability of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets in certain circumstances. The Company makes drawdowns from and repayments on the Facility in the framework of its cash management.
In addition, ArcelorMittal has a $500 million revolving multi-currency letter of credit facility (the "Letter of Credit Facility"), maturing on July 31, 2029. The Letter of Credit Facility is used by the Company and its subsidiaries for the issuance of letters of credit and other instruments. The terms of the letters of credit and other instruments contain certain restrictions as to duration.
The margin applicable to ArcelorMittal’s principal credit facilities (the Facility and certain other credit facilities) and the coupons on certain of its outstanding bonds are subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in its long-term credit ratings. On June 9, 2025, Standard & Poor's upgraded ArcelorMittal's credit rating from 'BBB-' to 'BBB' on improved business and assigned a 'Stable' outlook. On December 4, 2025, Moody’s upgraded ArcelorMittal’s credit rating from ‘Baa3’ to ‘Baa2’ on strengthening its business profile, including a structural improvement in margins and a reduction in earnings volatility and assigned a ‘Stable’ outlook.
Indebtedness
Most of the external debt is borrowed by the parent company on an unsecured basis and bears interest at varying levels based on a combination of fixed and variable interest rates. Total debt increased from $13.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 to $14.4 billion as of June 30, 2026. See "— Sources and uses of cash— Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities " and note 9 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restricted cash included $35 million and $67 million relating to various environmental obligations, true sales of receivables programs and letter of credits issued in ArcelorMittal South Africa as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
3.Defined as net debt divided by total equity.
The increase in net debt during the six months ended June 30, 2026 reflects $0.5 billion in share buyback, $0.3 billion in dividend payments to ArcelorMittal and non-controlling shareholders and $2.4 billion in capital expenditures partly offset by $1.0 billion net cash provided by operating activities and $0.7 billion proceeds from the sale of Vallourec shares. Non-compliance with the covenants in the Company’s borrowing agreements entitles the lenders under such facilities to accelerate the Company’s repayment obligations. The Company was in compliance with the material financial covenants in the agreements related to all of its borrowings as of June 30, 2026. ArcelorMittal’s debt facilities include provisions whereby the acceleration of the debt of another borrower within the ArcelorMittal group could, under certain circumstances, lead to acceleration under such facilities.
The following table summarizes the repayment schedule of ArcelorMittal’s outstanding indebtedness, which includes short-term and long-term debt, as of June 30, 2026.

Further information regarding ArcelorMittal’s outstanding short-term and long-term indebtedness as of June 30, 2026 is set forth in note 9 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Further information regarding ArcelorMittal’s use of financial instruments for hedging purposes is set forth in note 10 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company expects to service its cash requirements in the near and medium-term with net cash provided by operating activities. In the future, the Company may enter into additional financing facilities if required.
Trade receivables
ArcelorMittal has established a number of programs for sales without recourse of trade accounts receivable to various financial institutions (referred to as true sale of receivables (“TSR”)). As of June 30, 2026, the total amount of trade receivables sold amounted to $4.9 billion ($5.0 billion as of December 31, 2025). Through the TSR programs, certain operating subsidiaries of ArcelorMittal surrender the control, risks and benefits associated with the accounts receivable sold; therefore, the amount of receivables sold is recorded as a sale of financial assets and the balances are removed from the consolidated statements of financial position at the moment of sale.
Trade payables
As part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to improve its working capital position, it continually engages with its customers and suppliers with the aim of improving overall terms, including pricing, quality, just-in-time delivery, discounts and payment terms. Trade accounts payable have maturities from 15 to 180 days depending on the type of material, the geographic area in which the purchase transaction occurs and the various contractual agreements. The Company’s average outstanding number of trade payable days amounted to 80 over the last 5 years. The ability of suppliers to provide payment terms may be dependent on their ability to obtain funding for their own working

capital needs and or their ability to early discount their receivables at their own discretion (the Company estimates that about $2.5 billion of trade payables were subject to early discount by its suppliers in the first half of 2026 as compared to $2.3 billion in 2025). Given the nature and large diversification of its supplier base the Company does not expect any material impact to its own liquidity position as a result of suppliers not having access to liquidity. As of June 30, 2026, a 5-day reduction in trade payable days would result in a trade payables decrease of $693 million.
Commitments, obligations and other arrangements
The Company's cash requirements in the near and medium term are primarily driven by the current commitments, obligations and other arrangements in place as of June 30, 2026. ArcelorMittal has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and capital expenditure incidental to the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2026, ArcelorMittal had various outstanding obligations mostly related to:
•Guarantees, pledges and other collateral related to financial debt and credit lines given on behalf of third parties and joint ventures,
•Capital expenditure commitments mainly related to commitments associated with investments in expansion and improvement projects by various subsidiaries,
•Other commitments comprising mainly commitments incurred for gas supply to electricity suppliers.
These commitments, obligations and other arrangements will become due in 2026 and beyond. These various purchase commitments and long-term obligations will have an effect on ArcelorMittal’s future liquidity and capital resources. For further details on commitments and obligations, please refer to note 14 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. ArcelorMittal also has various environmental and asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2026 which are further detailed in note 11 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2026, ArcelorMittal had guaranteed $1.2 billion of debt of its operating subsidiaries, compared to $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. Guarantees given on behalf of joint ventures included $454 million and $414 million on behalf of VdSA and $239 million and $248 million in relation to outstanding lease liabilities for vessels operated by Global Chartering Ltd as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Guarantees given on behalf of joint ventures also included $4,568 million and $4,400 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 corresponding to ArcelorMittal's 60% guarantee of the debt under term loan agreements entered into by the AMNS India joint venture with various Japanese banks.

* Ongoing projects refer to projects for which construction has begun (excluding various projects that are under development), even if such projects have been placed on hold pending improved operating conditions.
a.ArcelorMittal Liberia has been operating at 5 million tonnes per annum of direct shipping ore ("DSO") since 2011 (Phase 1) and restarted construction of a concentrator and associated infrastructure (Phase 2). An opportunity to increase rail and port shipment capacity to 20 million tonnes per annum led to a revised project capital expenditure of $1.8 billion (previously $1.4 billion), reflecting a multiple product approach (sinter feed and concentrate) following revised mining plan and additional investment in material handling, port infrastructure, covered stockpile and power supply. The revised scope allows for an additional 5 million tonnes per annum of blended product, bringing total shipment capacity to 20 million tonnes per annum (previously 15 million tonnes per annum). By blending a portion of the new concentrate with crushed ore product, a sinter feed blend (>62% Fe) can be produced, increasing Liberia’s marketable production. Of the targeted 20 million tonnes, 75% or 15 million tonnes of sinter feed is to be made up of a blend of concentrate and crushed ore, and remaining 25% or 5 million tonnes is to be high-grade concentrate. Commissioning is progressing and full project completion and production from all lines is expected by the third quarter of 2026. Shipments are expected to reach 18 million tonnes in 2026. In addition, a phased plan to expand capacity up to 30 million tonnes per annum, including DRI-quality concentrate, is under study.
b.The Serra Azul project's current investment forecast is approximately $0.5 billion. The DRI quality pellet feed is expected to primarily supply ArcelorMittal Mexico steel operations. All assembly activities were completed in the third quarter of 2025. Hot commissioning is completed, the pellet feed DRI product has already met the required quality specifications, and the first vessel was shipped in the first half of 2026.

c.Approximately $0.3 billion investment in the Barra Mansa (Brazil) sections mill aims to expand domestic market share and profitability with higher added value ("HAV") products like merchant and special bars. Commissioning started in October 2025, and the project has transitioned into the ramp-up phase, with 75% of the new portfolio delivered in the first half of 2026 and 90% expected by the end of the second half of 2026.
d.ArcelorMittal, with French government support, is establishing a new electrical steels production unit at Mardyck, complementing its Saint-Chély d’Apcher plant. The first phase of the project consisting of ACL is complete and first commercial order was produced and delivered to customers in the second quarter of 2026. Phase 2 composed of REV and APL is now expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2027 (previously scheduled for the second half of 2026 and first half of 2027, respectively). Following a reassessment of the product portfolio, the production volume of NOES was revised to 155 thousand tonnes per year (previously reported as 170 thousand tonnes per year).
e.The approximately $0.2 billion investment project in Las Truchas will enable concentrate production to the blast furnace route (2.0 million tonnes per year) and DRI route (0.3 million tonnes per year) for a total of 2.3 million tonnes per year. Primary target is to supply ArcelorMittal Mexico steel operations with high quality feed. Due to delays in obtaining environmental permits, amplified by the strike and the illegal blockade of the mine in the second and third quarters of 2024, as well as unforeseen challenges, production is expected to start in the first half of 2027. The refurbishment of two clarifiers is essentially complete and ready for equipment installation. Foundation works for main mill building is completed. Pedestals for mills are ongoing and structural steel packages deliveries on site are underway.
f.ArcelorMittal Calvert is investing in an advanced manufacturing facility in Calvert, Alabama that could deliver up to 150,000 tonnes of domestic production capacity of NOES annually, depending on the product mix. The project includes an APL, cold-rolling mill, annealing coating line, packaging and slitter line, and ancillary equipment needed for operations. The facility would be situated near existing Calvert operations. The plant is anticipated to commence production in the second half of 2027.
g.See "Sustainable developments highlights".
h.The investment of approximately $0.5 billion represents a 550 MWac solar–wind hybrid renewable energy project (comprising 300 MWac of solar capacity and approximately 250 MW of wind capacity) and a planned 300 MWh BESS. Wind portfolio contracts have been awarded, with land included under the OEM contracts. The project is expected to deliver approximately 150 MW of round-the-clock renewable power to AMNS India. The project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 0.9 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
i.The investment of approximately $0.3 billion for renewable energy consists of 400 MWac solar power plant, integrated with a 500 MWh BESS, located in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. Construction commenced in the second quarter of 2025, with completion targeted for the first half of 2028. The project is designed to supply approximately 190 MW during solar hours and 125 MW during evening peak hours. The project will result in carbon emissions reduction of approximately 0.65 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. Civil works have started on site with the land being fully secured.
j.The investment of approximately $0.3 billion for a new EAF, part of the Group’s decarbonization initiatives, will allow the production of long HAV products such as rails and quality wire rods through EAF route, replacing current BF-BOF route in Gijón in northwestern Spain. The new EAF will have a 1.1 million tonne production capacity and will enable a reduction of at least 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. Completion is expected in the second half of 2026.
k.Sestao flat products plant is increasing production to 1.6 million tonnes by conducting several investments to debottleneck the EAF and to enhance its technical capabilities to produce automotive grades. Once complete, much of this production will be XCarb® RRP low-carbon emissions steel. Completion is expected by the second half of 2026.
l.AMNS India medium-term plans are to expand and grow initially to approximately 15 million tonnes by the second half of 2026 in Hazira (phase 1) including automotive downstream and enhancements to iron ore operations, with estimated capital expenditure of approximately $7.7 billion ($0.8 billion for debottlenecking, $0.2 billion for operational readiness, $1.0 billion for downstream projects and $5.7 billion for upstream project). As part of phase 1, a Continuous Galvanizing Steel line ("CGL3") capable of producing Advanced High Strength Steel for automotive sector was successfully commissioned in July 2025. Further capacity expansion at Hazira is underway to increase capacity to 15 million tonnes, while a detailed engineering study is being conducted to further expand capacity to 24 million tonnes. As part of its broader growth strategy aimed at increasing its total steelmaking capacity to 40 million tonnes per annum, on March 23, 2026, AMNS India also announced plans to construct a greenfield integrated steel plant in Rajayyapeta, Andhra Pradesh, with a Phase 1 capacity of 8.2 million tonnes per annum. The facility is designed as a low‑cost, highly efficient coastal asset positioned to serve India’s fastest‑growing steel‑demand region. The project leverages proven blast‑furnace designs and execution experience from the Hazira expansion, benefits from proximity to high‑quality iron ore and access to a deep‑water port, and prioritizes early cash generation, with downstream capacity targeted for the first quarter of 2029 and primary steelmaking targeted in 2030/31. These timelines assume all remaining approvals are received on schedule, including securing an appropriate long-term iron ore supply contract with NMDC. Phase 1 capital expenditures of $7.5–$8.0 billion (includes infrastructure to support future capacity options) are to be deployed over five to six years. Commencement of this project follows the completion of the Hazira capacity expansion project. As a result, AMNS India capital expenditures are expected to remain broadly stable.
m.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 engineering studies for a strategic project aimed at the developing of a new hot rolled coil production line at the site. The Company is also advancing studies for a potential second 1.5 million tonnes EAF at Calvert, which would expand domestic steelmaking capability at its 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.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2026 also included $663 million in sales proceeds related to the partial divestment of the Company's interest in Vallourec, partly offset by $115 million cash outflow in connection with the second installment for the settlement of the Votorantim put option.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2025 also included $263 million cash inflow related to the acquisition of AMNS Calvert and $101 million inflow from the second of four installments with respect to the loan related to the sale of Kazakhstan operations in 2023, partly offset by $167 million net cash outflow in connection with the acquisition of Tuper.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2026 included $986 million proceeds from the issuance of $1.0 billion 5.375% notes due May 19, 2036, $479 million in funding from the European Investment Bank and $229 million net inflow from commercial paper, partly offset by $401 million repayment at maturity of the $750 million unsecured notes due 2026. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2026 also included $483 million cash outflow relating to share buybacks and $300 million of dividend payments (of which $228 million paid to ArcelorMittal shareholders and $72 million paid to non-controlling shareholders).

Earnings distribution
On May 5, 2026 at the annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the dividend of $0.60 per share proposed by the Board of Directors. The dividend amounted to $454 million and is payable in four equal installments; the first and second installments amounting each to $114 million were paid on March 18, 2026 and June 10, 2026. The remaining installments are scheduled to be paid on September 9, 2026 and December 2, 2026.
Equity
Equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent increased marginally to $54.8 billion at June 30, 2026, compared with $54.5 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily due to $1.3 billion of net income attributable to the equity holders of the parent, partially offset by $0.5 billion in share buybacks under the existing share buyback program announced on April 7, 2025, and approved dividend of $0.5 billion. See "Corporate Governance" below.
Treasury shares
ArcelorMittal held 21.0 million shares in treasury at June 30, 2026 compared to 13.9 million shares at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the number of treasury shares represented 2.7% of the total issued number of ArcelorMittal shares. The treasury shares were impacted by the share buyback described in "Corporate Governance" below.
Research and development, patents and licenses
Research and development expense (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) was $159 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $153 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, the Company capitalized research and development for $18 million and $19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Trend information
All information that is not historical in nature and disclosed under "Business Overview", and in particular in "Outlook", is deemed to be a forward-looking statement and is subject to and qualified by the information set forth under the "Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements". See also "—Key factors affecting results of operations" above.
Outlook
The Company's outlook is positive across the near, medium and long term. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to deliver value-accretive growth, with robust shareholder returns, while maintaining a strong investment-grade balance sheet. Its medium and long-term growth prospects are underpinned by a unique portfolio of opportunities. Alongside the next phase of the Company's growth in India through its joint venture AMNS India, the Company is currently reviewing potential downstream expansions in Brazil (leveraging its low-cost assets and long slab position), and further capacity growth in Liberia (by leveraging existing infrastructure). Electrical steels is a core growth focus globally, with projects underway in the U.S. and Europe, and opportunities under development in other key regions. The Company sees also significant opportunities to further expand its renewable energy portfolio, generating more resilient, non-cyclical earnings while enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of its steel business. Renewables is a key pillar of the Sustainable Solutions segment which remains on track to further improve its operating performance.
In Europe in particular, ArcelorMittal 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 the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2026, compared with the typical high-single-digit seasonal decline. Furthermore, shipments in the second half of 2026 are expected to exceed those in the first half of 2026 across all segments.
All information that is not historical in nature and disclosed under "Business overview", and in particular in this Outlook section, is deemed to be a forward-looking statement. A detailed discussion of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section "Risk factors" of the 2025 Annual Report.

Key transactions and events
Key transactions and events
During the first half of 2026, ArcelorMittal completed the first tranche of its new share buyback program, several divestments and capital market transactions and launched certain divestment processes as well as a new tranche of its share buyback program. Please refer to notes 4, 5, 7 and 9 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
•On January 29, 2026, ArcelorMittal confirmed that it had been served by the Extraordinary Commissioners of Acciaierie d'Italia S.p.A. ("ADI") with a writ of summons to appear before the Court of Milan. ADI operates the Italian steel plants owned and formerly managed by Ilva S.p.A. (‘Ilva’) (which is also in Extraordinary Administration). Since 2021, ADI’s holding company, Acciaierie d'Italia Holding S.p.A. ("ADIH"), has been operated under joint and equal control with Invitalia, an entity wholly controlled by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance and appointed by the Italian Government to implement a public-private partnership with ArcelorMittal aimed at relaunching and acquiring Ilva’s business. The claim alleges that ADI was mismanaged and that value was intentionally transferred from ADI to ArcelorMittal (causing ADI to become insolvent). The action is brought against multiple parties - including ArcelorMittal, together with all individuals who have served on the board of directors of ADI. It seeks damages valued at €7.0 billion, with an alternative valuation of €3.65 billion. ArcelorMittal is also involved in several Italian judicial appeals relating to the placement of ADI and ADIH in insolvency and under extraordinary administration. ArcelorMittal will defend its position vigorously. Moreover, in June 2025, ArcelorMittal initiated an international arbitration against the Republic of Italy for unlawful expropriation and discriminatory treatment in relation to its investments in ADI, claiming damages in excess of €1.8 billion.
•On January 30, 2026, the Government of the Republic of Liberia and ArcelorMittal announced that they signed an amendment to the existing Mineral Development Agreement ("MDA"), which was ratified on January 29, 2026 via the Liberian legislative process, extending the duration of the agreement to 2050, with a right to renew for a further 25 years. The agreement solidifies ArcelorMittal’s long-term mining expansion and commitment to Liberia and provides for the Government’s desire to make the Tokadeh to Buchanan rail corridor accessible to multiple users. The Company is undertaking feasibility studies for further expansion beyond 20 million tonnes per annum. The railway capacity is being expanded so it can transport up to 30 million tonnes annually. This railway capacity will be reserved for ArcelorMittal’s use. Under the terms of the agreement ArcelorMittal paid $200 million to the Government of Liberia for certain rights it acquires, namely
the mining rights extension and reserved access to railroad capacity the Company is investing in.
•On March 5, 2026, subsequent to the announcement on April 7, 2025 of the 2025-2030 share buyback program (the ‘2025 buyback program’), together with an initial tranche of share repurchases, ArcelorMittal and the Significant Shareholder entered into a share repurchase agreement under which the Significant Shareholder has agreed to sell, on each trading day on which ArcelorMittal purchases shares under the 2025 buyback program, an equivalent number of shares in the proportion of the Significant Shareholder’s (44.55% at June 30, 2026) of outstanding shares less treasury shares of ArcelorMittal. Shares repurchased from the Significant Shareholder will count towards repurchases made under the 2025 buyback program and will be made at the same weighted average price as the ArcelorMittal Shares purchased under the 2025 buyback program on the relevant trading day in the open market. The Significant Shareholder may terminate this agreement at any time after the completion of the buybacks under the initial tranche. The effect of the share repurchase agreement is to maintain the Significant Shareholder’s percentage of voting rights in ArcelorMittal’s issued share capital (net of treasury shares) resulting from purchases made under the Program. As a reminder, the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding entered into in connection with the merger of Mittal Steel and Arcelor includes a standstill that sets a 45% limit on the Significant Shareholder’s ownership of the Company’s issued shares (subject to certain limited exceptions). This share repurchase agreement ensures that the Significant Shareholder’s voting rights will not passively exceed the 45% threshold, thereby preserving a robust free float.

Sustainable development highlights
Sustainable development highlights
•On February 10, 2026, ArcelorMittal announced the construction of an EAF at its steelmaking site in Dunkirk – a strategic €1.3 billion investment which marks a major step in the decarbonization of ArcelorMittal’s steel production in France. The start‑up of this 2-million-tonne EAF is scheduled for 2029. It is expected to produce steel with three times less CO2 compared with a blast furnace (0.6 tonne CO2 per tonne of steel in the EAF based on a mix of scrap, HBI/DRI and hot metal). Its funding will be supported by Energy Efficiency Certificates ("CEE"), a regulatory mechanism that promotes energy savings and CO₂ reduction. The amount of support will represent 50% of the €1.3 billion investment.
Legal proceedings
ArcelorMittal is currently and may in the future be involved in litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings. Provisions related to legal and arbitration proceedings are recorded in accordance with the principles described in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. Please refer to note 15 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for an update of the legal proceedings as included in note 9.3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.

Corporate governance
Please refer to the "Corporate Governance" section of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for a complete overview of the Company’s corporate governance practices. The purpose of this section is solely to describe the events and changes affecting the corporate governance of the Company between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
Annual general meeting of shareholders held on May 5, 2026
On May 5, 2026, the annual general meeting of shareholders approved all resolutions by a strong majority. The resolutions included approval of the 2025 financial statements and appointment of Ernst & Young S.A. as the independent auditor for 2026 and to provide any assurance opinion on sustainability reporting to be included in the management report of the Board of Directors for the financial year 2026 if and as required; the dividend of $0.60 (gross) per share; the remuneration policy, the remuneration report and the remuneration of the Board of Directors in relation to the financial year 2025; reelection of certain members of the Board of Directors for another three-year term; authorization of share based incentives; and grants of share based incentives. Certain of these resolutions are described in more detail below.
Dividend
On May 5, 2026 at the annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the Company’s proposed dividend of $0.60 per share. The dividend amounted to $454 million and is payable in four equal installments; the first and second installments amounting each to $114 million were paid on March 18, 2026 and on June 10, 2026, respectively. The remaining installments are scheduled to be paid on September 9, 2026 and December 2, 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, dividends to non-controlling interests amounted to $75 million (of which $72 million paid as of June 30, 2026).
Equity-based compensation
The Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company (jointly, the "Executive Office") and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") are eligible for PSU grants under the Executive Office Performance Share Unit Plan ("Executive Office PSU Plan"). The latter is designed to enhance the long-term performance of the Company and align the members of the Executive Office and the CFO to the Company’s objectives. The Executive Office PSU Plan complements ArcelorMittal’s existing program of annual performance-related bonuses which is the Company’s reward system for short-term performance and achievements. The main objective of the Executive Office PSU Plan is to be an effective performance-enhancing incentive based on the achievement of ArcelorMittal’s strategy which is aimed at creating measurable long-term shareholder value.
The May 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to take certain actions in relation to equity-based compensation, in particular to allocate up to 6 million of the Company’s fully paid-up ordinary shares (the "2026 Cap"), to adopt any rules or measures to implement the Executive Office PSU Plan and other retention-based grants below the level of the Executive Office and CFO that the Board of Directors may at its discretion consider appropriate, and to decide and implement any increase of the 2026 Cap by the additional number of shares of the Company necessary to preserve the rights of the grantees of the Executive Office PSU Plan and other retention-based grants below the level of the Executive Office and CFO in the event of a transaction impacting the Company’s share capital. Such authorization is valid until the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027.
The Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised of three independent directors, reviews the allocation of PSUs to the Executive Office and CFO, determines the criteria for granting PSUs, monitors the vesting criteria and makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors. Please refer to the 2025 Annual Report of the Company for an explanatory presentation, including a description of the performance targets applicable to each PSU grant.
Board of Directors
Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Mr. Aditya Mittal, Mr. Etienne Schneider, Mr. Michel Wurth and Mrs. Patricia Barbizet were re-elected and Mr. Roy Harvey was elected as directors of ArcelorMittal at the May 5, 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, each of them for a three-year term that will automatically expire on the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2029.

The Board of Directors includes two executive directors: Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, the Executive Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Aditya Mittal, the CEO of the Company. None of the members of the Board of Directors, including the executive directors, have entered into service contracts with the Company or any of its subsidiaries that provide for benefits upon the termination of their mandate.

time of this extraordinary general meeting with this limitation not applying to issuances of shares under share based incentive plans approved from time to time by the general meeting of shareholders; and (iv) to amend the paragraphs of article 5.5 of the Articles accordingly.
Further, the extraordinary general meeting resolved to amend articles 5, 7, 8, 11, 17 and 19 following the entry into force of the Luxembourg law of 10 August 2016, adopting a three-digit structure.
On April 7, 2025, ArcelorMittal announced the commencement of a share buyback program with share repurchases to be conducted in tranches that may be announced through May 2030. The first tranche of the program was completed on June 30, 2026. ArcelorMittal repurchased 10 million shares for a total value of €493 million ($568 million) at an average price per share of €49.32 ($56.81). To maintain the Significant Shareholder's current level of voting rights as per the Share Repurchase Agreement, in the context of the first tranche, the Company repurchased 3.6 million shares from the Significant Shareholder for €197 million ($227 million). See "Key transactions and events". The repurchased shares are currently being held in treasury and are expected to be cancelled in due course. A second tranche of the program, for up to 10 million shares, commenced immediately thereafter under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 6, 2025.
As communicated at the launch of the program, share repurchases are being conducted in tranches through to May 2030. The actual amount of shares to be repurchased in the various tranches will continue to depend on the level of post-dividend free cash flow generated over the period (the Company’s defined policy is to return a minimum of 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow), the continued authorization by shareholders, and market conditions. The shares acquired under the program are intended to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital and meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of ArcelorMittal and its Subsidiaries ("ArcelorMittal" or the "Company") as of June 30, 2026 and for the six months then ended (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited and were authorized for issuance on July 31, 2026 by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Material accounting policies
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investments in equity instruments and trade receivables at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), derivative financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value less cost to sell. In addition, assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and inventories are measured at the lower of net realizable value or cost. The Company also applies hyperinflationary accounting for the financial statements of its Venezuelan and Argentinian operations. Unless specifically described hereafter, the accounting policies used to prepare the Interim Financial Statements are the policies described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
On January 1, 2026, the Company adopted the following amendments:
•'Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)' as issued by the IASB on May 30, 2024 to address
matters identified during the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. The amendments relate to derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, classification of financial assets and disclosures.
•'Annual Improvements—Volume 11' as issued by the IASB on July 18, 2024 and including minor amendments of IFRS 1 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards', IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
•'Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity—Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7' as issued by the IASB on December 18, 2024, which amend the own-use requirements in IFRS 9 to include the factors an entity is required to consider for contracts to buy and take delivery of renewable electricity for which the source of production of the electricity is nature-dependent. The hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 are also amended to permit an entity using a contract for nature-dependent renewable electricity with specified characteristics as a hedging instrument to designate a variable volume of forecast electricity transactions as the hedged item if specified criteria are met and to measure the hedged item using the same volume assumptions as those used for the hedging instrument.
The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on Company's Interim Financial Statements.
Use of judgment and estimates
The preparation of Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances or obtaining new information or more experience may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – INVENTORIES
Inventory, net of the allowance for slow-moving inventory, excess of cost over net realizable value and obsolescence as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, is comprised of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Finished products | 5,388 | | | 5,589 | |
| Production in process | 5,328 | | | 4,652 | |
| Raw materials | 5,759 | | | 5,597 | |
Manufacturing supplies, spare parts and other 1 | 2,808 | | | 2,751 | |
Total | 19,283 | | | 18,589 | |
1.Including spare parts of 2.2 billion and 2.1 billion, and manufacturing and other supplies of 0.6 billion and 0.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The amount of write-downs of inventories to net realizable value and slow moving items recognized as an expense are 62 and 260 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
In the first half of 2026, ArcelorMittal completed the measurement of the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of ArcelorMittal Calvert LLC, the flat steel processing facility based in Calvert, Alabama (United States) with respect to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest held by Nippon Steel Corporation. No measurement period adjustment was recognized.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES, JOINT VENTURES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
On May 18, 2026, ArcelorMittal completed the sale of 23,869,984 shares in its associate Vallourec representing a 10.4% voting right interest for €569 million (663) net proceeds. The transaction was conducted via an accelerated bookbuilding process to institutional investors. ArcelorMittal has agreed to a lock-up in its remaining stake in Vallourec for 90 calendar days following the settlement date, subject to customary carve-outs. The Company recognized a resulting 302 gain on disposal including 10 proportional reclassification of foreign exchange translation gains and cash flow hedge reserve from other comprehensive income. Following the sale, the Company retained 18.0% voting rights and continues to appoint one member of Vallourec's Board of Directors which includes 8 members. ArcelorMittal concluded that it continued to exercise significant influence due to the Company's participation in decisions over the relevant activities in Vallourec and accordingly its investment remained accounted for under the equity method.
In addition, at June 30, 2026, the Company identified an impairment indicator relating to its 25.2% investment in the associate Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation ("Baffinland") which operates the Mary River high-grade iron ore mine on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada, as the company is in financial
difficulties and sought creditor protection to evaluate all possible strategic alternatives. The Company assessed the recoverable amount of its investment based on current operations and recognized accordingly a 262 impairment charge.
NOTE 5 - DIVESTMENTS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
On March 31, 2026, ArcelorMittal completed the disposal of its tubular products facility ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman ("AMTPR") in Romania. The facility was part of the Sustainable Solutions reportable segment and was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2025. On closing, ArcelorMittal received consideration of €30 million (33 net of cash disposed of 2) relating to intra-group loans. The gain on disposal amounted to 36 (30 net of 6 loss on settlement of intra-group loans) including 7 reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange gain from other comprehensive income to cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 6 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND GOODWILL
As of June 30, 2026, the Company assessed the existence of any impairment indicator with respect to property, plant and equipment and goodwill across all its cash-generating units
("CGUs") and concluded that no such indicators were identified.

Other
The other loans relate to various debt with banks and public institutions.
Hedge of net investments
A portion of the Company's euro denominated debt (€4,584 million as of June 30, 2026) is designated as a hedge of certain euro denominated investments (€8,601 million as of June 30, 2026) in order to mitigate the foreign currency risk arising from certain euro denominated subsidiaries' net assets. The risk arises from the fluctuation in spot exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and euro, which causes the amount of the net investments to vary. The hedged risk in the hedge of net
investments is a risk of a weakening euro against the U.S. dollar that will result in a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company's net investments in the subsidiaries subject to the hedge. The euro denominated debt is designated as a hedging instrument for the change in the value of the net investments that is attributable to changes in the euro/U.S. dollar spot rate.
To assess hedge effectiveness, the Company determines the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedge item by comparing changes in the carrying amount of the debt portfolio that are attributable to a change in the spot rate with changes in the net investments in the foreign operations due to movements in the spot rate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized in other comprehensive income within the foreign exchange translation reserve 168 foreign exchange gain arising on the translation of the euro denominated debt designated as a hedge of the euro denominated net investments.

Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI classified as Level 1 refer to listed securities quoted in active markets. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used without adjustment to measure fair value whenever available, with limited exceptions. The total fair value is either the price of the most recent trade at the time of the market close or the official close price as defined by the exchange on which the asset is most actively traded on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs.
Portfolio of derivatives
Derivative financial current assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 refer to instruments to hedge fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, raw materials (base metal), freight, energy, emission rights and others. The total fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay or receive for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to
that asset or liability. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and the fair value is calculated using standard industry models based on significant observable market inputs such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, swap rates and interest rates.
The Company manages the counter-party risk associated with its instruments by centralizing its commitments and by applying procedures which specify, for each type of transaction and underlying, risk limits and/or the characteristics of the counter-party. The Company does not generally grant to or require from its counter-parties guarantees for the risks incurred. Allowing for exceptions, the Company’s counterparties are part of its financial partners and the related market transactions are governed by framework agreements (mainly the International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow netting only in case of counterparty default). Accordingly, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are not offset.

Derivative financial instruments classified as Level 3:
The fair valuation of Level 3 derivative instruments is established at each reporting date and compared to the prior period. ArcelorMittal’s valuation policies for Level 3 derivatives are an integral part of its internal control procedures and have been reviewed and approved according to the Company’s principles for establishing such procedures. In particular, such procedures address the accuracy and reliability of input data, the accuracy of the valuation model and the knowledge of the staff performing the valuations.
Electricity option
ArcelorMittal and an electricity supplier entered into a multibuyer power supply contract on French market. Other clients of this contract are committed to purchase electricity from the supplier with opt-out rights to be exercised in 2029 for 2030-2034 delivery period. The Company is committed to acquire up to 51% of the opt-out volumes.
The fair value of the option is based on the Black-Scholes model using a Monte Carlo numerical calculation approach. Observable input data used in the valuation include euro zero coupon yield curve and electricity forward prices for tenors quoted by the European Energy Exchange (EEX). Unobservable input data is used to measure fair value to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available. For instance, electricity forward prices are extrapolated for tenors not quoted by EEX and volatility is computed based on historical settlement prices.
The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the fair value of the financial instruments classified as Level 3 :
| | | | | |
| Electricity option |

Other
On February 28, 2024, the State of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg exercised the right (following an agreement signed between ArcelorMittal, the Fonds d'Urbanisation et d'Aménagement du Plateau de Kirchberg and the State of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on December 20, 2022) to acquire 50% of ArcelorMittal's future new headquarters and related right-of-use of land in the Kirchberg district of the city of Luxembourg. The acquisition price is based on construction cost. On July 31, 2024, ArcelorMittal and the State of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg signed a sale compromise pursuant to which this acquisition will be completed at the end of the construction time.
On August 1, 2025, ArcelorMittal and Aperam entered into a share purchase agreement as a result of which ArcelorMittal has irrevocably committed to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary K22 S.à r.l to Aperam, which has committed to acquire such investment. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the share purchase agreement and following the completion of certain conditions, Aperam will own 5.4% of ArcelorMittal's future new headquarters.
NOTE 15 – CONTINGENCIES
ArcelorMittal may be involved in litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings. Provisions related to legal and arbitral proceedings are recorded in accordance with the principles described in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Most of these claims involve highly complex issues. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probabilities of loss and an estimate of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a large number of these claims, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the expected financial effect that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceeding. In those cases, the Company has disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency. The Company has not accrued a provision for the potential outcome of these cases.
In cases in which quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed or the Company has otherwise been able to reliably estimate the amount of probable loss, the Company has indicated the amount of such fine or penalty or the amount of provision accrued.
In a limited number of ongoing cases, the Company is able to make a reliable estimate of the expected loss or range of possible loss and has accrued a provision for such loss, but believes that publication of this information on a case-by-case basis would seriously prejudice the Company’s position in the ongoing legal proceedings or in any related settlement discussions. Accordingly, in these cases, the Company has
disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency, but has not disclosed the estimate of the range of potential loss nor the amount recorded as a loss.
These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. These assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reliable by management. The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for the above matters are adequate based upon currently available information. However, given the inherent uncertainties related to these cases and in estimating contingent liabilities, the Company could, in the future, incur judgments that could have a material effect on its results of operations in any particular period. The Company considers it highly unlikely, however, that any such judgments could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or financial condition.
The matters discussed below constitute the most significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in note 9.3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Tax claims
Brazil
In March 2012, ArcelorMittal Tubarão Comercial S.A. (now ArcelorMittal Brasil) received a tax assessment of 20 (first case), and in June 2014, received two further tax assessments of 5 (second case) and 0.5 (third case), in each case alleging that the company improperly utilized ICMS credits because it was already using the PROAUTO incentive. In November 2022, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a further tax assessment of 28 (fourth case), alleging that the use of accumulated ICMS credits was statute-barred. The company maintains that the fourth case substantially overlaps with liabilities already assessed in the first three cases, resulting in a duplicate assessment, and notes that the incentive is no longer being used. In the first case, the trial court issued a favorable decision in 2023, which the State appealed to the State Court (second instance) in January 2025. In the second case, the company has been awaiting a first instance decision since November 2017. In the third case, the highest administrative instance issued a predominantly favorable decision in December 2025, resulting in an approximately 95% reduction of the assessment value, and although the State commenced a tax enforcement proceeding in May 2026, such proceeding is expected to remain suspended until the final resolution of the lawsuit filed by the company in December 2025. In the fourth case, the company filed its administrative defense in January 2023, which was rejected by the first instance administrative authority in May 2023, followed by an appeal to the second administrative instance in June 2023; the appeal was scheduled for judgment in July 2025, but the proceeding was

| Interim Financial Statements | 53 |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026
(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)
suspended, and no date has yet been set for its resumption. The total amount of the outstanding claim is 54.
In May 2014, ArcelorMittal Comercializadora de Energia (now ArcelorMittal Brasil) received a tax assessment from the state of Minas Gerais alleging that the company did not correctly calculate tax credits on interstate sales of electricity from February 2012 to December 2013. The amount claimed totals 21. Following the conclusion of this proceeding at the administrative level, the company received the tax enforcement notice in December 2015 and filed its defense in February 2016. In April 2016, the company received an additional tax assessment in the amount of 42, after taking account of a reduction of fines mentioned below regarding the same matter, for infractions which allegedly occurred during the 2014 to 2015 period, and filed its defense in May 2016. Following appeal, the company received a notice from the tax authority in November 2017 that reduced the fees in the second case by 12, due to retrospective application of a new law. In addition, in February 2019, a reduction of the fine by 7 was finalized in the first case due to the retrospective application of a new law. In October 2024, the first case was dismissed unfavorably to the company, validating the tax assessment and in November 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a motion for clarification, that was dismissed in May 2025 by the first instance. ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the Minas Gerais State Court and is awaiting judgment. In the second case, in July 2024, a favorable decision was granted by the first instance, cancelling the tax assessment, but, as only one of the tax infractions was analyzed, both parties filed a motion for clarification. In October 2024, the State's motion for clarification was granted by the first judicial instance, confirming the tax assessment, and only removing the collection of the fines that exceeds 100% of the tax value, for each penalty. In November 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a new appeal (motion for clarification) which was dismissed in May 2025 by the first judicial instance. In May 2025, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the Minas Gerais State Court and is awaiting judgment. In January 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil requested the retroactive application of a new law that limited the penalty to 50% of the tax due. Therefore, the contingency was reduced by 41. In May 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil identified new legislation permitting the maintenance of credits applicable to this case with retroactive effect. A petition was filed with the Court of Justice of the State of Minas Gerais seeking the favorable application of the new law. The total amount for both cases is 63.
In January 2019, ArcelorMittal Sul Fluminense (which merged into ArcelorMittal Brasil in July 2019) filed a challenge against the ICMS (VAT) charged by Rio de Janeiro State on interstate acquisition of electricity power. The company claims the acquisition of electricity to be used in the industrial process is not taxable. Alternatively, the company claims that, if taxed, the
acquisition of electricity should be subject to an 18% rate, and not 28% as intended by the State. The amount of the ICMS (VAT) discussed is being monthly deposited in court. In July 2024, the court of first instance ruled a partially favorable decision, reducing the ICMS/VAT rate from 28% to 18%. However, the decision was unfavorable to the company's position that ICMS does not apply to interstate acquisitions of electrical energy for industrialization purposes. ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a motion for clarification and in September 2024, the motion for clarification was dismissed. In October 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the State Court of Rio de Janeiro. In May 2025, the State Court dismissed ArcelorMittal Brasil's appeal, maintaining the partially favorable decision issued by the court of first instance. Subsequently, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed two consecutive motions for clarification which were dismissed by the State Court in 2025. As a result, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice and the Supreme Federal Court, which was denied in March 2026 by the State Court. In March 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed new appeals directly with the Supreme Federal Court and the Superior Court of Justice requesting the courts to accept the company's appeal for review. In June 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a petition with the Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro requesting the recognition of partial res judicata of the decision it received in the reduction of the ICMS rate. The total amount of the outstanding claim is 97.
From April 2022 to December 2025, ArcelorMittal Brasil received 20 tax assessments totalling 74 relating to ICMS (VAT) credits. Of these, 12 cases (total value of 39) are under judicial review following the conclusion of the administrative phase, which also resulted in unfavorable decisions and are awaiting the evidentiary phase before proceeding to judgment. Three cases (total value of 7) received unfavorable administrative decisions closing the administrative phase. The Tax Authority will next move to enforcement. The remaining 5 cases (total value of 28) have had administrative defenses submitted and are currently awaiting judgment.
In January 2023, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a tax assessment from the Federal Revenue Service in an amount of 207 in which the tax authority rejected the offsetting of PIS/ COFINS credits used by the Company in 2018. The dispute relates to various types of credits such as credits recognized in Court processes (exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base, PIS/COFINS credits in the Manaus Free Trade Zone), expenses related to the acquisition of scrap (including freight), expenses related to port handling, and expenses for freight for finished products. ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an administrative defense in February 2023. In November 2023, ArcelorMittal Brasil was notified of the unfavorable decision and filed an appeal in December 2023. In August 2024, the second instance of the Administrative Court ruled in

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)
favor of the company, annulling the first instance decision, and ordered a new judgment. In December 2025, the company was notified of the new first instance administrative decision in the new trial (ordered by the second instance), which dismissed the company's defense. In January 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a new appeal with the second instance of Administrative Court. In April 2026, the second instance of the Administrative Court issued a largely favorable ruling, cancelling 70% of the assessment (145). Both parties may appeal to the third instance of the Administrative Court.
In January 2023, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a tax assessment in an amount of 19 for a 50% fine for alleged non-payment of the monthly estimate of CIT related to fiscal year 2018. The Federal Revenue accuses the company of undue offsetting of CIT credits paid in Venezuela from 2010 to 2014 when calculating the monthly IRC estimate for 2018. In February 2023, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed its defense. In September 2023, the first instance of the Administrative Court ruled against the company and ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal. On September 11, 2024, the second instance of the Tax Administrative Court (CARF) began the trial of the company's appeal. In November 2023, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a new tax assessment of 70. The Federal Revenue accuses the company of allegedly undue offsetting of CIT credits paid in Venezuela from 2010 to 2014 and offset by ArcelorMittal Brasil in 2018. In December 2023, the company filed an administrative defense. In June 2024, the first instance of the Administrative Court decided unfavorably to the appeal filed by the company. In July 2024, the company filed an appeal. In July 2025, the hearing for the first case (19) took place, where the second instance of the Administrative Court ruled unfavorably against the company. In September 2025, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a motion for clarification against the decision with the second instance of the Administrative Court which issued an unfavorable decision against the company in October 2025. In January 2026, the motion for clarification was judged unfavorably to the company. The company filed an appeal to the third instance of the Administrative Court. In the second case (70), in October 2025, the second instance of the Administrative Court issued a largely unfavorable decision. In February 2026, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the third instance of the Administrative Court.
In August 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a new tax assessment related to PIS and COFINS credits for the period 2019-2020 (first case). Due to this new tax assessment, the Federal Union also issued several decisions that did not approve or only partially approved PIS/COFINS credits used during the same period to offset debts, creating 10 more cases. The total value claimed in these 11 cases is 118. ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an administrative defense for these cases in 2024. In August 2024, a new decision was issued regarding the third
case, reviewing the previous disallowance, and approving an additional part of the offsetting. AM Brasil presented a further defense in September 2024. In December 2025, ArcelorMittal Brasil's defense for the first case (102) was partially upheld in the administrative instance, cancelling tax assessments for certain expenses. For 9 out of the 11 cases, the administrative court dismissed ArcelorMittal Brasil’s defense. In February 2026, for all nine cases, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the second instance of the Administrative Court.
In December 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil received a new tax assessment in the amount of 71 charging corporate income tax (IRPJ and CSLL) related to the taxation of controlled foreign companies (CFC taxation), questioning (i) the taxation of Venezuela’s results (UNKI and UNICON), as well as their consolidation in ArcelorMittal Brasil’s CIT tax base; and (ii) ArcelorMittal Brasil’s right to offset on a monthly basis or at the end of the fiscal year – tax credits paid in Argentina by VSA’s subsidiaries (related to previous years). ArcelorMittal Brasil filed its defense in January 2025. In September 2025, ArcelorMittal Brasil was notified of a partially favorable ruling in the first administrative instance, reducing the tax assessment by 7. ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the second instance of the Administrative Court to discuss the remaining amount.
Mexico
Between 2018 to 2025, six tax assessments were issued by the Mexican Tax Authorities for the years 2011 to 2018 rejecting the deduction of employment benefits paid to the Union. Years 2011 and 2015 are currently under a nullity claim, while years 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are pending resolution following the administrative appeals filed by the Company. The outstanding claim value for all six cases is 66.
On February 24, 2023, the Tax Administration Service notified ArcelorMittal Las Truchas of a tax assessment, with respect to 2014. In April 2023, ArcelorMittal Las Truchas filed an administrative appeal in respect of this assessment before the Tax Administrative Service. In March 2026, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the Mexican Tax Authority for a payment of 95.
A tax assessment in the amount of 223 was issued by the Mexican Tax Authorities to ArcelorMittal Las Truchas in September 2024. The tax authority is disputing deductions relating to back-to-back loan interest, forex losses and net operating losses for the years 2013-15. ArcelorMittal Las Truchas filed its defense in October 2024. In June 2026, a favorable resolution was issued closing the case.

Other Legal claims
Brazil
In June 2017, Centrais Elétricas de Santa Catarina S.A. and Celesc Distribuicao S.A. ("CELESC") filed a lawsuit for 61 against ArcelorMittal Brasil for the payments made by CELESC in the construction of the power transmission line that supplies the Vega plant. In April 2019, the court of first judicial instance passed a judgment upholding CELESC’s request. In November 2019, the company filed an appeal in the court of second instance. In September 2021, the Santa Catarina Court of Justice partially upheld the company’s challenge. In April 2024, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. The Santa Catarina State Court of Appeal stayed the appeal pending the Brazilian Supreme Court’s ruling on a similar issue in another case. In October 2024, the State Court of Appeal reconsidered the decision to stay the appeal, and elected to proceed with the analysis of the admissibility of the company’s appeal. In 2025, the State Court of Appeal denied the admissibility of ArcelorMittal’s special appeal. In response, ArcelorMittal filed an interlocutory appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. In May 2026, the parties jointly filed a motion requesting a stay of the proceedings, which was granted.
Canada
In April 2025, two hundred charges of environmental violations were brought by the Federal Authorities against ArcelorMittal Canada Inc. under the Fisheries Act. These violations were allegedly committed between 2014 and 2022. The first procedural hearing took place in July 2025. On May 15, 2026, ArcelorMittal Mining Canada G.P. reached an out-of-court settlement with Environment and Climate Change Canada (a governmental department). Under the terms of the settlement, all charges against ArcelorMittal Canada Inc. were withdrawn, and ArcelorMittal Mining Canada G.P. paid a total of 70, and has committed to providing an action plan, closing the matter.
