Our vision for ArcelorMittal ItaliaA clear vision of long-term, sustainable success

10

• Significant environmental issues – need to

bring ILVA up to and beyond EU

environmental standards

• Industrial challenge: investment and

expertise to improve operational performance

of ILVA’s assets

• Poor financial performance: material

decline in revenue since 2011, loss-making

for the past 6 years

• Low share of high-value added steels in

the portfolio of ILVA

• Need to rebuild client confidence: product

quality, innovation, supply chain

• A company recognised for

environmental performance excellence:

emissions to be reduced to best practice

levels, in line with and beyond European

environmental standards and legislation

• Become a world-class player in terms of

competitiveness, sustainability,

environmental performance, value-add

• Leading presence in Italy, adding value

to the Italian industrial fabric

• A sustainably profitable company: one

that creates value for all stakeholders, and

the Italian economy

why I am expecting a very big

challenge from a professional point of

view, in collaboration with some of

Testimonials from Italy

“Having the opportunity to work in the biggest European steel plant is such

a challenge and I feel privileged to experience this in my career. I strongly

encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to move

across sites and countries. It’s scary to get out of our comfort zone, but you

won’t believe me how scary it is to even think of getting back to it”

(Luciene Caberlin, Energy Manager)

“Discover a new plant, consolidate my technical skills, increase my professional

network, being part of a new team, increase my responsibilities. But on top of

those “professional” expectations, I have also some personal ones: offering to my

family the possibility to live in Italy, discovering a new culture, a new language, a

new cuisine, a new way of living: the famous “dolce vita”. Such a project will work

only if you have that double expectation”

(Antoine Dhennin, Head of Automation)

“I accepted because I felt great the call of a very big challenge. Apart from the

transfer to Taranto, build the Research Centre from scratch, identifying the

people, the structure, the research programs. A very exciting challenge because it

contains an aspect of social responsibility that I like. It has a useful target for the

ArcelorMittal Group, Italy, Puglia and Taranto”

(Nicolas Bontems, Head of R&D Centre)

Key takeaways

• ArcelorMittal Italia target to be the lowest cost site in Europe with full complement of

downstream capabilities

• H&S performance is a priority

• Operationally, we began from low point given delay in acquisition closing; more short

term challenges, yet long term potential remains robust. On track to hit 6Mt this year

• We are on time with our environmental investments which are the key to enabling an

increase in production to 8Mt to generate further fixed cost savings

• Buy, make, sell is ArcelorMittal Italia’s key business philosophy and where €310m

synergies will be captured

• Progress on commercial approach despite challenging market environment

• Employee engagement is positive with ongoing development

• On track to achieve Financial targets set at time of acquisition: EBITDA positive year 1

and FCF positive year 3
