Review report

To: general meeting and supervisory board of Metinvest B.V.

Introduction We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 of Metinvest B.V., The Hague, and its subsidiaries (hereafter: ‘The Group’), which comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2018, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended and the selected explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this (condensed) interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the company. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted by the European Union.

Amsterdam, 5 September 2018 PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. Original has been signed by A.G.J. Gerritsen RA

1 Metinvest B.V. and its operations

Metinvest B.V. (the “Company” or “Metinvest”), is a private limited liability company registered in the Netherlands. The Company is beneficially owned by Mr. Rinat Akhmetov, through various entities commonly referred to as System Capital Management (“SCM”), and Mr. Vadim Novinsky, through various entities commonly referred to as “SMART” or “Smart Group”.

The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Metinvest Group”) are an integrated steel producer, owning assets in each link of the production chain – from iron ore mining, coking coal mining and coke production, through to semi-finished and finished steel production. The steel products, iron ore and coke and coal are sold on both the Ukrainian and export markets.

Until November 2007, the Company was indirectly 100% controlled by SCM (System Capital Management) Limited (“SCM Cyprus”).

In November 2007, the Company acquired from parties known as Smart Group 82% of PJSC Ingulets Iron Ore Enrichment Works in exchange for the transfer to SMART of 25% of the Company. Following the November 2007 transaction, Metinvest B.V. was owned 75% by SCM Cyprus and 25% by SMART. SCM Cyprus and SMART additionally agreed that both would sell/contribute to the Group their remaining equity interests in certain metals and mining assets owned by SCM and SMART. In exchange, SMART would acquire certain additional rights over the management of the Company and the Group. Due to the complexity of the transaction, it was executed in several stages during 2007 through 2014; and was completed in July 2014.

In 2011, as part of the acquisition of Ilyich Group, the Company issued 5% of its share capital to the sellers of Ilyich Group.

As of 30 June 2018, Metinvest B.V. is owned 71.24% by SCM Cyprus and 23.76% by companies of the Smart Group. The remaining 5% interest in the Company has been acquired from the previous owners of Ilyich Group for the benefit of SCM and SMART. It is the intention of SCM and SMART to dispose of the said 5% interest in due course (after receipt of respective governmental approvals if such will be necessary), and in such manner that the ultimate interest of SCM in the Company shall be 75% minus 1 share, and the ultimate interest of SMART in the Company shall be 25% plus 1 share, thus SCM remaining as the controlling shareholder.

The principal subsidiaries of Metinvest B.V. are presented below:

2 Operating environment of the Group

Since 2016 the Ukrainian economy has demonstrated recovery amid overall macroeconomics stabilisation supported by structural reforms, a rise in domestic investment, revival in household consumption, increase in industrial production, construction activity and improved environment on external markets.

The inflation rate in Ukraine stood at 4.4% for the first half of 2018 (as compared to 7.9% for the six months of 2017 and 13.7% for the twelve months of 2017) while GDP continued to grow at 3.2% (as compared to 2.1% growth in 2017).

In addition there was further progress in monetary policy. The National Bank of Ukraine (“NBU”) conducts interest rate policy consistent with inflation targets and keeps the hryvnia floating. As of the date of this report the official NBU exchange rate of Hryvnia against US dollar was UAH 28.49 per USD 1, compared to UAH 26.19 per USD 1 as at 30 June 2018 and UAH 28.07 per USD 1 as at 31 December 2017.

In 2016 and 2017, the NBU has made certain steps to ease the currency control restrictions introduced in 2014–2015. In particular, the required share of foreign currency proceeds subject to mandatory sale on the interbank market was gradually decreased from 75% to 50% starting from 5 April 2017. The current restriction is effective until 13 December 2018. Additionally, the settlement period for export-import transactions in foreign currency was steadily increased from 90 to 180 days starting from 26 May 2017. Also starting from 3 March 2018, the NBU increased the amount of the dividends payments allowed to Ukrainian companies to non-residents to USD 7 million per month. As of 30 June 2018, the amount of undistributed retained earnings of the Group’s Ukrainian subsidiaries was approximately USD 2,547 million.

The IMF continued to support the Ukrainian government under the four-year Extended Fund Facility (“EFF”) Programme, which was approved in March 2015, providing the third and the fourth tranches of approximately USD 1 billion in September 2016 and April 2017, respectively. Further disbursements of IMF tranches depend on the continued implementation of Ukrainian government reforms, and other economic, legal and political factors. The banking system remains fragile due to its: weak level of capital; its weakening asset quality caused by the economic situation; currency depreciation; and other factors.

Ukraine returned to international debt capital markets, having issued a record USD 3 billion 15-year Eurobond at 7.375% in September 2017, which has smoothed external debt maturity profile of Ukraine.

On 1 September 2017, the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine finally came fully into force that enhanced liberalisation of trade, improvement of quality standards and integration of Ukrainian economy with the European Union.

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine had impacted the Group’s steel, coke and coal operations since 2014. Two of the Group’s largest steel plants, PrJSC Ilyich Iron and Steel Works and PrJSC Azovstal Iron and Steel Works, are located near the conflict area in the Donetsk region. Iron ore production assets are located in the central part of Ukraine and have not been affected by the conflict. The conflict started in spring of 2014 and has not been resolved to date.

In February-March 2017, there was an escalation of the military confrontation near Avdiivka (where PrJSC Avdiivka Coke Plant is located), which led to temporary suspension of the production amid power supplied cuts. Since May 2017, Avdiivka Coke Plant has resumed operations using all coke batteries following the installation of a new electricity transmission line on the controlled territory. Production on PrJSC Yenakiieve Iron and Steel Works (which includes two facilities located in Yenakiieve and Makiivka) and PrJCS Krasnodon Coal Company was disrupted in February 2017 by a blockade of railway transportation between Ukraine and the temporarily non-controlled territory.

In March of 2017, the Group determined that it had lost control over the operations of entities located on the temporarily non-controlled territory. The effect of loss of control on the Group financial statements is disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Since March 2017, all of the Metinvest Group`s assets are operating without physical disruption. The Metinvest Group does not operate any assets on the temporarily non-controlled territory.

During the six months ended 30 June 2018, crude steel production at the Group’s Mariupol steelmakers increased. As compared to the six months ended 30 June 2017, PrJSC Azovstal Iron and Steel Works output increased by 1%, and output at PrJSC Ilyich Iron and Steel Works increased by 8%. Iron ore concentrate and coke production increased by 2% and 25% respectively.

The Group also significantly increased volumes of goods and services resales which resulted in growth of revenue by USD 1,088 mln.

As of June 2018 comparing to June 2017, the benchmark price of hot-rolled coil (Metal Expert HRC CIS export FOB Black Sea) increased by 27%, benchmark iron ore price (Platts 62% Fe CFR China) – by 13% and benchmark coking coal price (HCC LV, FOB Australia) – by 35%. These price dynamics had a positive impact on the Group’s gross margins and overall financial results.

2 Operating environment of the Group (continued)

Timely and complete VAT refunds, which used to be a major issue for Ukrainian exporters, are now refunded automatically. As of 30 June 2018, the Group had significant balances receivable from and prepayments made to the State of Ukraine mainly including VAT recoverable. During the first half 2018, the Group’s Ukrainian subsidiaries have received VAT recoverable of USD 322 million. VAT assets of USD 48 million for subsidiaries whose operations were located on the temporarily non-controlled territory experience delays with the refund – the Group is enforcing its legal right to refund through the courts. Significant progress was made towards recovering the corporate tax prepayments of Ukrainian subsidiaries with the prospects of their full utilisation except for subsidiaries operations of which are located on the temporarily non-controlled territory.

3 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

IFRS 16 Leases (issued on 13 January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).

IFRS 16 will require the Group to recognise in the balance sheet assets taken in an operating lease and the related lease liabilities. Management has initiated an exercise to calculate the impact of this new standard. Based on preliminary calculation the Group will recognise Right-of-use assets and respective Lease liability approximating to USD 48 million as at 1 January 2019. Management intends to apply the simplified transition approach and will not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to the adoption.

5 Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the Group’s financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

5 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Group applied the new rules using a modified retrospective approach from 1 January 2018, which means that the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognised in retained earnings as of 1 January 2018 and that comparatives were not restated.

Particular requirements of new standards which have an impact on the Group`s financial information are described below.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaces the provision of IAS 39 that relates to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

Classification of financial assets

According to new rules from 1 January 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or

loss), and

those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets (investments in debt instruments) and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

1) Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other operating income / (expenses). Impairment losses are presented in other operating income / (expenses) or as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss, if material.

2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. Impairment expenses are presented in other operating income / (expenses) or as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss, if material.

3) Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other operating income / (expenses) in the period in which it arises.

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, as such there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impact of adoption: As at 1 January 2018 and in 2018 the Group did not hold any financial assets measured at fair value though profit or loss, majority of financial assets were classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost.

5 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

The Group elected to present in OCI changes in the fair value of all its equity investments previously classified as available-for-sale, because these investments are held as long-term strategic investments that are not expected to be sold in the short to medium term. At the reporting date such investment was held by the Group’s associate.

The Group did not have to reclassify any of the financial assets when the new standard became effective, because all are held for collection and solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) condition is met.

Impairment

From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised at the time of the initial recognition of the receivables. For loans issued and bank accounts the Group applies general model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition is applied. For loans that are repayable on demand, expected credit losses is equal to the effect of discounting the amount due on the loan.

Impact of adoption: The Group has two types of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s new expected credit loss model:

cash and cash equivalents

trade receivables for sales of goods and services

loans issued

The Group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for each of these classes of financial assets.

Cash and cash equivalents: the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

The Group uses different approaches for analysis of expected credit losses arisen on financial assets from related parties, significant customers and other customers.

For all significant debtors and related parties, the calculation of expected credit losses is carried out on an individual basis taking into account agreement terms, expected repayment period, internally assessed credit risks for significant debtors based on the financial performance and taking into account external credit ratings, if available.

For individually insignificant debtors the Group calculates expected credit losses using a provision matrix by grouping customers by country of location. This matrix is based on the Group’s historical default rates over the expected life of the financial receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.

The loss allowance for financial assets as at 31 December 2017 reconciles to the opening loss allowance on 1 January 2018 as follows:

Loans issued

Trade receivables

At 31 December 2017 – calculated under IAS 39 - 552

Amounts restated through opening retained earnings 5 23

Opening loss allowance as at 1 January 2018 – calculated under IFRS 9 5 575

During the six month period ended 30 June 2018, the expected credit loss allowance for financial assets further increased by USD 4 million.

Modification of financial liabilities

In accordance with IFRS 9, upon modification of financial liabilities the Group adjusts the amortised cost of a financial liability to reflect actual and revised estimated contractual cash flows. For these purposes the Group recalculates the amortised cost of the financial liability as the present value of the estimated future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument’s original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as income or expense comparing to IAS 39 which provided an option to recognise the difference over the remaining life of the instrument by adjusting the effective interest rate.

Impact of adoption: As of 1 January 2018, USD 51 million of loss on modification of borrowings which took place in March 2017 were debited to retained earnings.

Upon determination of whether modification or an extinguishment have occurred the Group performs analysis in order to determine if there was a substantial modification of the terms quantitative in nature of an existing financial liability or a part of it. The quantitative analysis represents performance of a 10 per cent test. No qualitative factors are considered.

5 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer and the customer obtains ability to direct the use of and substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. For each performance obligation identified, the Group determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time or at a point in time.

For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Group recognises revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation proportionally to the transportation period. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Group satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (acting as a principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (acting as an agent). When the Group satisfies a performance obligation as a principal, revenue is recognised in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred, when as an agent - the Group recognises revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by the other party.

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

Impact of adoption:

The Group provides freight services to the customers as part of standard products sales contract. Management considers that according to IFRS 15 freight services should be treated as separate performance obligations and should be recognised over the transportation period. The effect of this change has led to recognition of the contract asset and liability as at 1 January 2018, with revenue and related distribution costs in amount of USD 11 million being deferred to 2018.

Management has analysed the requirements of IFRS 15 upon determination of whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to the customers is a performance obligation itself or the Group is a party involved in arrangement on provision of these goods or services. Thus, approach to accounting of revenue associated with provision of transportation services was changed leading to recognition of revenue only in the amount of fees to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging the provision of the other party`s services (gross amount of such revenue amounted to USD 126 million and USD 42 million during the six months ended 2018 and 2017 respectively; the fees presented in revenue during the six months ended 2018 and 2017 amounted to USD 8 million and USD 7 million, respectively).

The Group is involved in resale of metallurgical and mining goods of other entities. Management considers that the approach applied in prior years is consistent with requirements of new standard and continues to recognize gross revenue on resales of products where the Group retains inventory risk and the margins earned may fluctuate upon change of transportation costs or other factors. Starting from 2018 the Group presents net revenue from resale of third parties` goods and services as part of revenue, not other operating income. Net amount of such revenue amounted to USD 12 million and USD 7 million during the six months ended 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Impact on the financial statements

As a result of the changes in the Group’s accounting policies, the following adjustments were recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the numbers provided.

On April 23, 2018, Metinvest successfully completed the refinancing of its US$2,271 million of debt, consisting of the issuance of two tranches of bonds which replaced a significant part of existing 2021 bonds and the amendment and restatement of its pre-export finance (PXF) facility. Key features of the Refinancing are:

On 4 April 2018, Metinvest successfully priced a USD 1,350 million bond offering across two tranches: a USD 825 million 5-year tranche at fixed 7.75% per annum due in April 2023; and a USD 525 million 8-year tranche at fixed 8.50% per annum due in April 2026. The USD 1,350 million bond offering consisted of refinancing of USD 1,070 million of the 2021 bond as well as raising of USD 280 million of new finances.

In addition, certain PXF holders agreed to shift their exposure from the PXF facility to new bonds. As a

result, the final new issuance of bonds amounted to USD 1,592.2 million: consisting of USD 944.5 million 5-

year and a USD 647.7 million 8-year tranches.

Following the refinancing, USD 117 million of the 2021 bonds remain outstanding, their interest rate was

decreased to fixed 7.50% per annum, while their terms and conditions were amended and restated in line

with the terms and conditions of newly issued bonds.

The PXF facility was amended and restated to, inter alia, extend its maturity to October 2022. Interest rate

for PXF facility was set at LIBOR plus 4.75%, paid fully in cash. After a required partial repayment of the

PXF facility, a shift of certain lenders to the new bond issue and an attraction of a new tranche of USD 65

million the total amount of the PXF facility amounted to USD 765 million.

Two instruments were structurally untied: cash sweep common for bonds and the PXF facility was removed,

while common security was released.

Each instrument received collateral, guarantees typical for such instruments. Bonds benefit from suretyships

granted by six entities, including PrJSC Azovstal Iron and Steel Works, PrJSC Ilyich Iron and Steel Works,

PrJSC Avdiivka Coke Plant, PrJSC Ingulets Iron Ore Enrichment Works, PrJSC Central Iron Ore Enrichment

Works and PrJSC Northern Iron Ore Enrichment Works. The PXF facility benefits from suretyships granted

by four entities, including PrJSC Ilyich Iron and Steel Works, PrJSC Ingulets Iron Ore Enrichment Works,

PrJSC Central Iron Ore Enrichment Works and Metinvest Management B.V., security assignments of rights

under certain export, commission and offtake contracts, as well as pledges of certain bank accounts and

rights under certain commission contracts.

Certain restrictive covenants continue to be imposed on the Group, including limitation to pay dividends,

make certain restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with related parties, incur new debt, as well

as certain financial covenants (interest cover ratio, debt cover ratio, tangible net worth and gearing). These

covenants have been eased when compared to the terms of prior debt.

Shareholder loans remain subordinated to bonds and the PXF facility.

Change in PXF facility (apart from PXF shifted exposure) and USD 117 million of the 2021 bonds was treated as a modification of original financial instrument as the difference between the present value of the cash flows under the new terms discounted using the original effective interest rate and discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability is less than 10 per cent. This transaction resulted in recognition of loss on modification amounting to USD 23 million and was recognised in income statement as part of loss on refinance.

10 Loans and borrowings (continued)

Refinancing of USD 1,070 million of the 2021 bond and USD 239 million of PXF shifted exposure was accounted for as extinguishment of the prior financial liability and recognition of the new debt instruments. Gain on extinguishment amounted to USD 6 million and was recognised in income statement as part of loss on refinance.

As of 30 June 2018, the Group’s 2021 bonds were traded on open markets with a discount of approximately 2% to their nominal value, 2023 bonds with a discount of approximately 5% and 2026 bonds with a discount of approximately 6% (31 December 2017: the Group`s 2021 bonds were traded on open market with a premium of approximately 5%). As of 30 June 2018, the fair value of 2021 bonds was USD 115 million, of 2023 bonds - USD 910 million and of 2026 bonds - USD 621 million (31 December 2017: USD 1,251 million) as determined by reference to observable market quotations. Have these market quotations been used to determine the fair values of the bank borrowings as at 30 June 2018, those would be USD 604 million (31 December 2017: USD 1,161 million).

As a result of the refinancing, the effective interest rate for PXF remains at the original level, whereas effective interest rate for bonds approximates to their nominal interest rate.The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Cash flows from borrowings were calculated using spot rates.

In addition, due to ease of covenants part of non-bank borrowings was settled by the Group, with remaining part being classified as current borrowings.
