ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest and most global steel company, today announced results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009.

Analysis of results for three months ended September 30, 2009 versus three months ended June 30, 2009 and three months ended September 30, 2008

ArcelorMittal recorded net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $0.9 billion, or $0.60 per share, as compared with a net loss of $0.8 billion, or $(0.57) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and net income of $3.8 billion or $2.79 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $16.2 billion, higher as compared with $15.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and down sharply from $35.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Despite the improved demand during the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2009, sales remain substantially lower year-on-year due to the global economic crisis, including a steep fall in selling prices.

ArcelorMittal recorded operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $0.3 billion, as compared with an operating loss of $1.2 billion⁸ for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and operating income of $5.5 billion⁹ for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Total steel shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were 18.2 million metric tonnes as compared with steel shipments of 17.0 million metric tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 25.6 million metric tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2008. As noted above, the sharp decrease year-on-year resulted from reduced steel production in response to falling demand amid the global economic crisis.

Depreciation expenses remained flat at $1.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. Depreciation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $1.4 billion.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009 ArcelorMittal Galati recorded an impairment amounting to $0.1 billion on coke oven assets.

Income from equity method investments and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a gain of $99 million, as compared to gains of $11 million and $386 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

⁸ The loss in the second quarter of 2009 resulted principally from exceptional charges amounting to $1.2 billion primarily related to write-downs of inventory ($0.9 billion) and provisions for workforce reductions ($0.3 billion).

⁹ During the third quarter of 2008, ArcelorMittal USA agreed to a new four-year labor contract with its union employees. Management has concluded that under IFRS it is required to recognize a non-recurring expense in the third quarter of approximately $1.6 billion primarily related to vested post-employment benefits. In addition it was agreed to pay an additional $90 million upon signing of the contract.

Net interest expense (including interest expense and interest income), decreased to $387 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $401 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a reduction in overall debt. (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $436 million. Foreign exchange and other net financing gains¹⁰ for the three months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $106 million, as compared to costs of $142 million and $380 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Gains related to the fair value of derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $6 million, as compared with losses of $20 million and $107 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company also recorded a loss of $110 million (versus a $357 million loss in the second quarter of 2009) as a result of mark-to-market adjustments on the conversion options embedded in its recently issued convertible bonds.¹¹

ArcelorMittal recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to an income tax benefit of $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.7 billion.

Profits attributable to non-controlling (minority) interest for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $15 million as compared with losses attributable to non-controlling (minority) interest of $62 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Profits attributable to non-controlling (minority) interest for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $414 million.

¹⁰ Foreign exchange and other net financing costs include foreign currency swaps, bank fees, interest on pensions and impairments of financial instruments.

¹¹ On April 1, 2009 and May 6, 2009, the Company issued approximately $2.5 billion of convertible bonds which are convertible into shares at the option of the bondholders. The Company has the option to settle the bonds for shares or for an amount equivalent to the cash value of the shares at the date of the settlement. The Company has determined that the convertible bonds are hybrid instruments as defined by IFRS as the conversion option gives the bondholder the right to put the bond back to the Company. In addition, the Company identified certain components of the contract to be embedded derivatives in accordance with IAS 39. Therefore, the Company separated the embedded derivatives and recorded their fair value at inception ($597 million) as liabilities (out of the net financial debt). At each reporting period, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded to the statement of operations. The charge recorded at the end of the third quarter 2009 ($110 million) and second quarter 2009 ($357 million) was due primarily to the appreciation of the Company’s share price since the issuance of the bonds. Noteholders of the ArcelorMittal US$ convertible bonds due 2014 are being informed that ArcelorMittal has decided to irrevocably waive the option to deliver the cash value of the shares upon conversion, as from October 28, 2009.

Consequently, the new quarterly dividend payments would take place on March 15, 2010, June 14, 2010, September 13, 2010 and December 15, 2010, taking into account that the first quarter dividend payment to be paid on March 15, 2010 shall be an interim dividend.

¹⁴ Rotation days are defined as days of accounts receivable plus days of inventory minus days of accounts payable. Days of accounts payable and inventory are a function of cost of goods sold. Days of accounts receivable are a function of sales.

Final payment of current year dividend of $0.1875 per share will be payable on December 14, 2009.

For further disclosure about each of these recent developments, please refer to our website www.arcelormittal.com

The fourth quarter of 2009 EBITDA is expected to be approximately $2.0-$2.4 billion. Shipments and average steel selling prices are expected to be higher in the fourth quarter of 2009 than in the third quarter of 2009. In addition, the Company expects fixed costs to increase due to the expected increase in activity in the fourth quarter.

¹⁶Gearing is defined as (A) long-term debt, net of current portion, plus payables to banks and current portion of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments (also referred to as “net debt”), divided by (B) total equity).

* On April 1, 2009 and May 6, 2009, the Company issued approximately $2.5 billion of convertible bonds which are convertible into shares at the option of the bondholders. The Company has the option to settle the bonds for shares or for an amount equivalent to the cash value of the shares at the date of the settlement. The Company has determined that the convertible bonds are hybrid instruments as defined by IFRS as the conversion option gives the bondholder the right to put the bond back to the Company. In addition, the Company identified certain components of the contract to be embedded derivatives in accordance with IAS 39. Therefore, the Company separated the embedded derivatives and recorded their fair value at inception ($597 million) as liabilities (out of the net financial debt). At each reporting period, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded to the statement of operations. Noteholders of the ArcelorMittal US$ convertible bonds due 2014 are being informed that ArcelorMittal has decided to irrevocably waive the option to deliver the cash value of the shares upon conversion, as from October 28, 2009.

*** Commercial paper is expected to continue to be rolled over in the normal course of business.

²⁵ Gearing is defined as (A) long-term debt, net of current portion, plus payable to banks and current portion of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, divided by (B) total equity.
