 Natural Gas in
The Blast Furnace Impact of Low Natural Gas Prices
•
Natural gas cannot completely replace
coke in blast furnace
–
We estimate natural gas and other
injectants can replace up to about 30%
–
The less coke used the more important
the coke’s quality
•
Alternative technologies take time to
implement, require significant capital
commitments and are energy intensive
•
Coke oven gases produced by
integrated steelmakers’
own coke
ovens is less valuable in low cost
natural gas environment, potentially
impacting steelmakers’
future

 Definitions
•
Adjusted
EBITDA
represents
earnings
before
interest,
taxes,
depreciation,
depletion
and
amortization
(“EBITDA”)
adjusted
for
sales
discounts
and
the
deduction
of
income
attributable
to
non-controlling
interests
in
our
Indiana
Harbor
cokemaking
operations.
EBITDA
reflects
sales
discounts
included
as
a
reduction
in
sales
and
other
operating
revenue.
The
sales
discounts
represent
the
sharing
with
our
customers
of
a
portion
of
nonconventional
fuels
tax
credits,
which
reduce
our
income
tax
expense.
However,
we
believe
that
our
Adjusted
EBITDA
would
be
inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since they
represent sharing of a tax benefit which is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in
computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted
EBITDA also reflects the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling
interest
in
our
Indiana
Harbor
cokemaking
operations.
EBITDA
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
do
not
represent
and
should
not
be
considered
alternatives
to
net
income
or
operating
income
under
United
States
generally
accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of
other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the
operating performance of the Company’s assets.
•
Adjusted
EBITDA/Ton
represents
Adjusted
EBITDA
divided
by
tons
sold.
•
Free Cash Flow
equals cash from operations less cash used in investing activities less cash distributions to
non- controlling interests. Management believes Free Cash Flow information
enhances an investor’s understanding of a business’
ability to generate cash. Free Cash Flow does not represent and should not be
considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities as
determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of
other businesses. 21
