Business overview

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022

Key factors affecting results of operations

The steel industry, and the iron ore and coal mining industries, which provide its principal raw materials, have historically been highly cyclical. They are significantly affected by general economic conditions, consumption trends as well as by worldwide production capacity and fluctuations in international steel trade and tariffs. This is due to the cyclical nature of the automotive, construction, machinery and equipment and transportation industries that are the principal consumers of steel. A telling example of the industry cyclicality was the sharp downturn in 2008/2009 after several strong years, which was a result of the global economic crisis. Similarly, the global pandemic caused a sudden and sharp decline in economic activity and steel consumption globally during 2020, in the Company's core developed markets, followed in 2021 by a significant ongoing recovery in certain industries constrained to some extent by supply chain issues. In 2022, the global economy is being adversely affected by ongoing supply chain issues,high inflation, consequential tightening of monetary policy and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (itself aggravating inflationary pressures, particularly in the energy sector).

The sharp global recession in 2020 significantly reduced global demand for steel but the impact on demand was not prolonged, with output in developed markets rebounding strongly during the second half of 2020. Steel demand rebounded strongly during the first half of 2021 as developed economies reopened after vaccination progress. However, despite continued strong consumer demands for goods and robust order levels at manufacturers, outputs were constrained by supply bottlenecks in the second half of 2021. The negative impacts on manufacturing outputs due to global supply chain issue was particularly severe for auto production. Indeed, output of key steel consuming sectors in the U.S. was almost back to pre-pandemic levels by December 2020. As expected, the impact of restrictions on physical interaction, implemented in various regions at times through 2021, due to high rates of COVID-19 infections, predominantly impacted services. However, the rebound in manufacturing in developed markets was held back by a lack of available parts due to global supply chain issues, especially automotive production. Indeed, light vehicle output in units in the second half of 2021 declined 18% year-on- year in the U.S. and was even weaker in the EU falling by 30% year-on-year. The inability of steel end-users to raise output due to supply chain issues led to weaker than expected real steel demand in the Company’s core markets and to steel inventory increasing through the supply chain. This high level of inventory has begun to weigh on pricing during 2022, despite the temporary support from supply disruption due to the war in Ukraine. This is particularly true in Europe where the increase in

energy costs, and potential for gas rationing are negatively impacting real demand as the European economy is pushed close to recession. While the economy and underlying real demand have been stronger in the U.S. during the first half of 2022, as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates strongly to slow growth and dampen heightened inflationary pressure, the risk of a policy mistake rises, along with the risk of pushing the U.S. into a recession. While the Company still expects the U.S. economy to be strong enough to withstand higher interest rates and a likely decline in residential investment, given the solid jobs market and healthy balance sheets of households, there is a risk that slower growth becomes a wider economic downturn in 2023. The European market is even more entwined with the Company's prospects and in Europe there are greater risks to the economic outlook, with recent sharp declines in economic sentiment. While the Company does not expect Russia to embargo all gas exports to Europe, the recent significant cuts to Russian flows through Nord Stream, have restricted Europe’s ability to raise storage levels. These are now unlikely to be sufficient to meet needs through winter, leading to some energy rationing, higher gas prices and lower real consumption by households, and risk pushing the economy into recession, which could potentially lead to lower steel deliveries and weaker steel prices. However, offsetting these negative trends, steel consumption is expected to continue to be supported in the U.S. and EU respectively by the American Jobs Plan (“AJP”) and the Next Generation EU (“NGEU”) infrastructure stimuli plans over the next few years.

Despite the Company’s sales and profitability being significantly affected in developing markets in 2020, similar to developed markets, vaccination and strong past fiscal stimulus supported underlying steel demand to recover significantly. Demand in some markets, such as Brazil and Turkey, rebounded strongly during the first half of 2021, to well above pre-pandemic levels, before reverting back to trend during the second half of 2021. As a result of above trend economic and steel demand growth in 2021, many economies suffered from high inflation which have begun to impact consumer spending in 2022. In Brazil, interest rates were raised sharply to combat high inflation, and underlying steel demand have declined well below 2021 levels in the first half of 2022. While many emerging markets are better placed to deal with crises than in the past, economic risks remain high in 2022 for many including sovereign debt sustainability in Brazil and external foreign currency debt risk in Turkey. This is especially true against a backdrop of tightening external financing conditions, concerns about global growth and weaker investor sentiment.

Historically, demand dynamics in China have also substantially affected the global steel business, mainly due to significant changes in net steel exports. Despite the pandemic Chinese steel demand surprised on the upside in 2020, growing around 9% year-on-year. Policy support was quickly withdrawn and steel demand weakened sharply in 2021, declining year-on-year in the second half of the year. While it appears that the combination of high vaccination and booster rates and lower severity of recent Covid-19 variants has led to an ending of restrictions in most countries through the first half of 2022, China has been a major exception. Reduced vaccination rates, especially among the elderly, a less developed health service and strict adherence to a dynamic zero-Covid policy has seen significant lockdowns in many cities, with Shanghai suffering a two-month citywide lockdown in April and May of 2022. This not only impacted internal supply chains but also exacerbated the downturn in the real estate market, with housing sales and new housing starts down 35% and 43% year-on-year respectively in April and May of 2022. This sharp reduction in underlying real demand, coupled by a smaller reduction in steel production, led a push for export, causing Chinese net steel exports to rise sharply in May 2022 to 5.1 million tonnes, up from an average of 2.5 million tonnes during January to April 2022. A significant increase of Chinese exports, if continued, will likely lead to rising inventory levels in ex-China steel markets and downward pressure on prices and spreads, negatively affecting the Company’s profitability. The increased stimulus in 2022 is likely to lead to a rebound in steel demand in 2023 but the Company continues to expect Chinese steel demand to decline in the medium-term, as infrastructure spending has been front-loaded and real estate demand is expected to weaken structurally due to lower levels of rural-urban migration. If this does not coincide with the renewed capacity closures, this would have a negative impact on steel prices and spreads. However, China has recently removed the rebate on steel exports lessening the incentive to export and slightly reducing the impact of Chinese domestic spreads on world ex-China pricing. As real estate accounts for approximately 25% of the Chinese GDP (including indirect linkages to sectors such as steel, cement, glass, and metal products production), the weakness of the real estate sector has led the government to implement measures to soften the decline in real estate and stabilize GDP growth in 2021. However, the risk of a more serious decline remains, as seen in the U.S. (2006 to 2009) and Spain (2007 to 2010) where residential investment declined by around 50% peak to trough. Such a decline would have a significant negative impact on the Chinese economy and steel consumption, and likely lead to rising steel exports from China. See “Risk Factors—Risks related to the global economy and mining and steel industry—Excess capacity and oversupply in the steel industry and in the iron ore mining industry have in the past and may continue in the future to weigh on the profitability of steel producers, including ArcelorMittal".

Unlike many commodities, steel is not completely fungible due to wide differences in its shape, chemical composition, quality, specifications and application, all of which affect sales prices. Accordingly, there is still limited exchange trading and uniform pricing of steel, whereas there is increased trading of steel raw materials, particularly iron ore. Commodity spot prices can vary, which causes sales prices from exports to fluctuate as a function of the worldwide balance of supply and demand at the time sales are made.

ArcelorMittal’s sales are made based on shorter-term purchase orders as well as some longer-term contracts to certain industrial customers, particularly in the automotive industry. Steel price surcharges are often implemented on steel sold pursuant to long-term contracts to recover increases in input costs. However, longer term contracts with low steel prices will not reflect increases in spot steel prices that occur after contract negotiation. Spot market steel, iron ore and coal prices and short-term contracts are more driven by market conditions.

One of the principal factors affecting the Company’s operating profitability is the relationship between raw material prices and steel selling prices. Profitability depends in part on the extent to which steel selling prices exceed raw material prices, and specifically the extent to which changes in raw material prices are passed through to customers in steel selling prices. Complicating factors include the extent of the time lag between (a) the raw material price change and the steel selling price change and (b) the date of the raw material purchase and of the actual sale of the steel product in which the raw material was used (average cost basis). In recent periods, steel selling prices have not always been correlated with changes in raw material prices, although steel selling prices may also be impacted quickly due in part to the tendency of distributors to increase purchases of steel products early in a rising cycle of raw material prices and to hold back from purchasing as raw material prices decline. With respect to (b), as average cost basis is used to determine the cost of the raw materials incorporated, inventories must first be worked through before a decrease in raw material prices translates into decreased operating costs. In some of ArcelorMittal’s segments, in particular Europe and NAFTA, there are several months between raw material purchases and sales of steel products incorporating those materials. Although this lag has been reduced in recent years by changes to the timing of pricing adjustments in iron ore contracts, it cannot be eliminated and exposes these segments’ margins to changes in steel selling prices in the interim (known as a “price-cost squeeze”). This lag can result in inventory write-downs, as occurred in 2015 and 2019 due to sharp declines in steel prices. In addition, decreases in steel prices may outstrip decreases in raw material costs in absolute terms, as has occurred numerous times over the past few years, for example throughout 2019 as well as the

fourth quarters of 2015, 2016 and 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2020 and through the first half of 2021, global steel prices surged toward historical highs in many markets, due in part to increased demand and a slower increase in supply, resulting in increased steel spreads and higher profitability. During the second half of 2021, despite strong underlying demand, a lack of inputs (e.g. semi-conductors) caused real steel demand to stagnate while steel supply continued to increase. This led steel prices to decline, faster than any decline in raw material costs leading to spread compression. During the first half of 2022, this has been partially offset by an increase in the average price of annual automotive contracts and temporary steel price support due to disruption to supply from the war in Ukraine. However, the decline in spot steel prices during the second quarter will mainly impact the third quarter results due to the significant lag between transactions and deliveries, especially for flat products. Furthermore, steel spreads, especially in Europe are being compressed by elevated energy prices, particularly gas, due to reduced Russian flows, most recently through Nord Stream 1.

The Company’s operating profitability has been 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. Robust recovery of steel demand and production following the initial shocks of the Covid-19 pandemic continued in the first quarter of 2021 with iron ore prices rising further to an average of $167/t. In the second quarter of 2021, the seaborne iron ore price jumped to over $200/t as rising steel production in China coincided with tight supply, significantly increasing the profitability of ArcelorMittal’s mining operations. Since mid-2021, iron ore prices have fallen back to an average of $111/t in the fourth quarter of 2021 as Chinese crude steel production declined. Iron ore prices then rebounded during early 2022 on supply disruption, with prices rising over $150/t in March/April before falling back to an average of $130/t in June 2022 as Chinese production was cut in response to weak steel prices/spreads due to low domestic real demand and rising inventory levels. A significant further decrease in iron ore prices, which may occur, for example, if Chinese demand weakens sharply, would negatively impact ArcelorMittal’s revenues and profitability.

Economic environment

The world economy continues to suffer from a series of destabilizing shocks. After the pandemic hit in 2020 and supply side constraints in 2021, the global economy is experiencing yet another major negative shock during the first half of 2022 due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The negative spillovers from the war have exacerbated pre-existing strains from the pandemic, such as bottlenecks in global supply chains, and have caused increases in the price of many commodities. In particular, the war in Ukraine is leading to significantly higher prices and

volatility in energy markets. As a result of widespread sanctions against Russia, the price of Brent crude rose sharply and averaged $107/barrel ("bbl") during first half of 2022, an increase of over 50% from 2021 levels ($71/bbl). While the increase in oil price benefited energy exporters such as the U.S. and Middle East, this is offset by negative impacts on major energy importers such as Asia Pacific and EU27. In addition, European economic and industrial activities are more proportionately impacted from high energy prices due to their exposure to Russian gas supply, with European domestic gas prices (TTF) up over 300% year-on-year during first half of 2022. The invasion of Ukraine has also led to a significant increase in agricultural commodity prices, which is exacerbating food insecurity and extreme poverty in many emerging economies. These shocks add to the downside risk to global growth caused by stubbornly high inflation and monetary policy tightening, particularly in developed markets.

In the U.S., economic activity during the first half of 2022 remained strong. While GDP growth slowed to approximately 2.7% in the first half of 2022 from 5.7% in 2021, this was mainly due to lower government expenditure and higher imports, as domestic consumption grew 3.2% year-on-year. While supply side constraints have been gradually easing, strong demand means real retail sales remained approximately 13.0% above pre-pandemic levels in June 2022, while manufacturing output was only 3.0% above. Strong domestic momentum, and prolonged supply-side constraints, combined with an additional energy price shock triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022, led to rising inflationary pressure throughout the first half of 2022. As a result, inflation accelerated from 7.0% year-on-year at the end of 2021 to 9.1% in June 2022, while core inflation, excluding volatile items such as food and energy, rose to 5.9% in June 2022 (from 5.5% at the end of 2021). This suggests the main driver of inflation in the U.S. has largely been due to rising prices of goods. Strong domestic demand also leads to robust demand for labour, which when coupled with labor supply yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels, (most notably in older workers), has meant a very tight domestic labor market. The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.6%, with high levels of vacancies and firms competing for the limited supply of labor by raising nominal wages. Seeking to control inflation and anchor inflation expectations, in particular to prevent a higher wages-higher price spiral, the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates, from 0-0.25% at the end of 2021 to 1.5%-1.75% at the end of the first half of 2022, and further still in July 2022. While monetary tightening is likely to continue, the downside risk is an over-correction, where interest rates are raised too high and too rapidly, pushing a managed soft-landing into a recession in 2023.

Activity in EU27 (Europe excluding UK) decelerated in the first half of 2022, with GDP growth slowing to approximately 4.5%

year-on-year from 5.3% growth in 2021, mainly due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and restriction measures to contain the Omicron variant wave during the winter of 2021. Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation in Europe was already rising, driven by higher energy prices. Given that Russia accounts for approximately one-third of European gas imports, European domestic energy prices, particularly gas, are very dependent on supply from Russia. The war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on trade with Russia caused the domestic gas price to increase more than triple of pre-pandemic levels during the first half of 2022. Beyond energy, direct trade exposure to Russia is small, which limits the direct impact of sanctions. However, indirect effects through distressed supply chains, increased financial strains, and declines in consumer and business confidence have dented activity. Manufacturing output has largely stagnated during the first half of 2022 at approximately 3.0% above pre-pandemic levels, largely due to automotive output that remained at approximately 25% below pre-pandemic levels. Surging energy and, to a lesser extent, food prices have contributed to a sharp rise in inflation, which reached a record-high of 9.6% in June 2022. Contrary to the U.S. where inflation was largely driven by rising good prices, in the EU, inflation was mostly impacted by elevated domestic energy prices. The key downside risk for EU27 during the second half of 2022, is that lower Russian gas flows become a complete stoppage of Russian gas supply into Europe. This would not only lead to significant energy rationing, negatively impacting already-weak industrial activity, but also put upward pressure on inflation, weighing further on real consumer expenditure and likely lead to a recession.

In China, after GDP grew at a rate of 4.8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022, the economic momentum was sharply impacted by rising Omicron cases and subsequent lockdowns in the second quarter of 2022, as the government pursued a “dynamic-zero Covid policy”, leading to the second quarter GDP growth slowing sharply to 0.4% year-on-year. In April 2022, retail sales contracted by approximately 12% year-on-year, and despite rebounding in May and June, first half retail sales remained approximately 1.5% lower than the first half of 2021. With consumption impacted negatively by lockdowns, investment growth helped to offset weakness in consumer spending. During the first half of 2022, fixed investment was up by 6.1% year-on-year, driven by stronger capital spending in manufacturing (+10.4% year-on-year) and infrastructure (+7.1% year-on-year). In contrast, real estate investment remained weak (-4.2% year-on-year). With lockdown leading to a decline in infection, the economy began reopening in May 2022 and continued in June 2022, leading to a sharp rebound in industrial activity, much stronger than in real estate. Industrial output strongly expanded month-on-month in May 2022 and June 2022, reversing most of the April 2022 decline leading to a growth of 3.9% year-on-year in June 2022 and 3.4% in the first

half of 2022. By contrast, both residential floor space sales and new starts, saw only a partial recovery in May 2022 and June 2022, meaning both sales and starts remained well below 2021 levels. Sales in June 2022 were down 22% year-on-year, up from 37% decline in May year-on-year, but still 20% below 2021 average levels. Real estate starts were even weaker, due to weak developers’ finances, down 45% year-on-year in June 2022 and a significant 39% below 2021 levels. Real estate developers’ finances were constrained by the governments ‘Three Red Line” policy since 2021 and are now even further constrained by the loss in sales during the first half of 2022. A significant downside risk to growth remains, that the current more transmissible COVID-19 variants lead to renewed lockdowns. This would weaken home sales further, increase pressure on developers to default, and cause a sharper real estate downturn. While the government has implemented some stimulus measures to support growth, such as exhausting the annual special local government bond quota by end-August 2022, to boost infrastructure spending, the 2022 growth target of “around 5.5%” is highly unlikely to be achieved, likely leading to additional stimulus in the second half of 2022.

In Brazil, after the strong rebound to post-pandemic economic output, growth continued to weaken during the first half of 2022, with GDP growing at an estimated 2% year-on-year compared to 5% growth in 2021. While Brazil benefits from high commodity prices, high inflation at 12% negatively impacted economic activity and consumer spending, as well as poor weather conditions, resulting in shortages of goods, mostly foodstuffs and electricity due to Brazil’s reliance on hydroelectricity. As a result, interest rates were raised to 13.25%, negatively impacting growth by raising debt servicing cost to both consumers as well as public debt. In Russia, after growth of 3.5% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022, sanctions in response to the invasion of Ukraine will likely lead to a sharp contraction in GDP in the second quarter of 2022 and for the remainder of the year. However, the negative impact will be offset by windfall revenue from higher energy prices and monetary easing. Initially, the sanctions led to a sharp depreciation of the Russian rouble and to an emergency interest rate hike to 20% (from 8.5%) in January 2022. The Russian rouble subsequently appreciated and with inflation having already peaked in April 2022, interest rates were reduced to 9.5% by the end of the first half of 2022, helping to support domestic demand. In Turkey, economic activity maintained strength with GDP estimated to have increased by 6.5% year-on-year during the first half of 2022 supported by strong household spending and exports, despite an inflation of approximately 80% in June 2022 – the highest since 1998. Yet, the Turkish lira fell sharply against the US$ at an average of 17 in June 2022, from an average of 8.9 in 2021. Downside risks to growth remain, however, as the twin deficits of current account and fiscal balance, have both deteriorated, coupled with high

continued

global risk sentiment: the Turkish lira is therefore vulnerable to further sharp falls over the coming months.

Contrary to 2021, the first half of 2022 has seen global manufacturing sectors lag the strength of the service sector, as supply bottlenecks from 2021 continue to constrain output, while demand for goods has weakened, as a result of a rotation in spending from goods to services. Globally, manufacturing output increased by 3.4% year-on-year in the first half of 2022, with output in China increasing by 3.6% year-on-year due to the rebound in output (especially automotive) post lockdown in May 2022 and June 2022. While growth in world ex-China output during the first half of 2022 was slightly weaker at 3.2% year-on-year, growth was stronger in the U.S. (4.6% year-on-year) than the EU (1.3% year-on-year). Supply side constraints that curtailed manufacturing output through 2021, had shown signs of easing at the beginning of the year, particularly with better availability of semiconductors allowing auto production to gain momentum. However, higher energy prices, triggered by the war in Ukraine, coupled with lockdowns in China, added renewed pressure on global supply chains. Meanwhile, high inflation and subsequent monetary policy tightening, particularly outside Asia Pacific, has led to weaker consumer demand for goods. As a result, manufacturing outputs in developed markets increased only by 2% year-on-year, while developing markets ex-China outputs increased by approximately 7%. While continued lean inventory means manufacturing output should continue to gradually rise, high inflation and uncertainties related to the war in Ukraine, particularly related to the disruption of Russian gas supply to Europe, add a significant downside risk to manufacturing output in the second half of 2022.

Following a slight decline in 2020 – the first since 2015 – global apparent steel consumption (“ASC”) increased by over 5% in 2021, as the global economy rebounded post-pandemic. The growth was driven by a rebound in real steel demand growth as steel consuming sectors attempted to increase output to meet strong consumer demand for goods, coupled by a strong inventory rebuild at end users. In China, due to financial constraints on property developers negatively impacting real estate construction, exacerbated by stringent lockdowns in April/May 2022 to curb the spread of COVID-19 infections, ASC in the first half of 2022 declined by 7% year-on-year. Ex-China ASC is also estimated to have declined slightly by 2% year-on-year during the first half of 2022 to approximately 1% below the second half of 2021, mainly due to high inventory leading to destocking, partially offset by further improvement in real demand as the supply constraints since 2021 gradually ease, particularly in automotive industry. Indeed, in EU27, ASC growth was stable, year-on-year in the first half of 2022, with an estimated 1% growth for flat products offset by contraction in long products. During the first half of 2022, ASC increased in the U.S. by approximately 6% year-on-year, with a small decline in

flat products, more than offset by long products increasing by 14% year-on-year, while high energy prices saw more energy rigs and pipe and tube demand to increase by 35% year-on-year. In Brazil, as growth in real demand in 2021 was unsustainably above trend, real demand contracted in the first half of 2022, and coupled with destocking meant ASC was down by over 15% year-on-year, with a slightly larger decline in flat products (16%) than long products (15%). The largest decline in ASC was experienced in CIS due to the war in Ukraine, with ASC in Ukraine decreasing by half year-on-year in the first half of 2022, with sharp declines since Russia invaded at the end of February 2022. While Russia's ASC is estimated to have declined only very slightly in the first half of 2022, ASC grew strongly in the first quarter of 2022, broadly offset by declines brought on by the impact of sanctions.

Steel production

After world steel production stagnated (-0.1% year-on-year) in 2020 at 1.86 billion tonnes as a result of demand disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, production increased by 4% year-on-year to 1.93 billion tonnes, as vaccination progress allowed economies to reopen and the global economy to recover. In China, 2021 steel production declined by 3% year-on-year to 1.03 billion tonnes from 1.06 billion tonnes according to the World Steel Association, due to tighter restrictions on the real estate sector and an environmental policy to cap output of heavy industry. However, this was more than offset by a sharp rebound in world ex-China production, that increased by more than 100 million tonnes in 2021 (13% increase year-on-year), to over 900 million tonnes, a historical high, and 4% above 2019 pre-pandemic levels. In the first half of 2022, China steel demand was impacted by lockdowns as the government pursued a “dynamic-zero” COVID-19 policy to curb infections, exacerbating the downturn in the real estate market, leading to steel production declining by 6% year-on-year. Outside China, most economies were fully reopened during the first half of 2022, but with high steel inventory in addition to high inflation curtailing demand, ex-China steel production decreased by 4% year-on-year, with a slightly stronger year-on-year decline in developed economies (-4.5% year-on-year) than developing ex-China (-4%) markets. Overall, global steel production in the first half of 2022 declined to approximately 5% below the first half of 2021.

While steel production in China weakened during the second half of 2021 following restrictions on the financing of real estate developers, the lockdowns during the first half of 2022, especially in Shanghai in April/May 2022, negatively impacted the real estate sector even further. Floor space new starts were more than 30% lower year-on-year during the first half of 2022, negatively impacting steel demand and leading to higher net Chinese exports to support steel production. Chinese net finished exports averaged 3.5 million tonnes per month over January to April 2022, whereas in May and June 2022 net exports almost doubled to 6.9 million tonnes per month. During the first half of 2022, overall net Chinese crude steel exports rose to around 54 million tonnes annualized, similar to 2021 annual levels, but at a time of weakening demand in world ex-China, this has put pressure on global steel prices and spreads.

In Developed Markets, a sharp recovery in demand in 2021 led to significant inventory buildup. As a result, inventory was at higher levels in the first half of 2022, and coupled with high inflation weakening demand, led to steel production declining by 4.5% year-on-year. In Europe, where energy costs are particularly vulnerable to disruption of gas supplies from Russia, steel production in EU27 and UK combined was down by over 6% year-on-year during the first half of 2022.The situation in Europe has been deteriorating during 2022, with production down 4% year-on-year during January to April 2022 and then down over 10% year-on-year in May and June 2022. In the U.S., production also declined, though less severely relative to Europe, by approximately 2% year-on-year in the first half of the year and together with Developed Asia (down 4% year-on-year), these regions together account for more than 50% of World ex-China production.

In Developing ex-China, the largest decline in steel production was in CIS due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with production during the first half of 2022 down by 18% year-on-year, with Russia down by 7% and Ukraine down by almost 60% according to the data from World Steel Association. Elsewhere, other major developing economies have also seen production in the first half of 2022 falling year-on-year as high steel inventory levels impacted output (ASEAN: -3%, Brazil: -3%, Middle East: -6% and Turkey: -5%), the main exception being India where steel production rose 9% year-on-year during the first half of 2022.

In the first quarter of 2021, European hot-rolled coils ("HRC") references stood at an average of €739/t in Northern Europe and €727/t in Southern Europe. Economic recovery on the European continent was robust following the peak of the second wave of COVID-19, at the end of 2020. Demand for steel rebounded more strongly than anticipated and at a more rapid pace than domestic steel supply. This resulted in extended lead times at mills, while lower deliveries to customers led to the depletion of end-users’ steel inventories to historically low levels. Lead times and prices of imports (worsened by increasing freight rates and strengthening raw material prices) weren’t competitive enough to alleviate the domestic situation in Europe. This drove domestic HRC pricing to record highs and continued to do so through July 2021.

The second quarter of 2021 closed at €1,060/t in Northern Europe and €1,046/t in Southern Europe. Therefore, the first half of 2021 registered record high prices for both Northern and Southern European HRC references at €900/t and €887/t, respectively.

The strong upward price movement recorded as from mid-2020 started reversing in the second half of 2021. In July 2021, HRC reference in Northern Europe was at €1,173/t, its peak for the year, while the HRC reference in Southern Europe was at €1,091/t (having its peak at €1,135/t, in June 2021). Despite the start of a declining trend, the average for the third quarter of 2021 was still at a higher level versus the previous quarter; namely, HRC reference in Northern Europe averaged €1,141/t and in Southern Europe €1,051/t, being respectively €81/t and €5/t higher over the second quarter of 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the HRC reference in Northern Europe and Southern Europe moved further down to €988/t and €897/t, respectively, confirming a quarter-on-quarter decline of over €150/t in each of the two regions.

This price retreat was driven, among other factors, by surging imports into the European Union. Particularly, the fourth quarter of 2021 started with the European HRC safeguard quota being exhausted immediately by one of its core importers – India. Further downward pressure on steel prices came from the automotive sector’s weakening demand, in light of the continued global shortage of microchips.

After the continuous month on month price decline from late 2021, the downward spiral reached its bottom in January 2022 (at €927/t in Northern Europe and €837/t in Southern Europe). Overall, the first quarter of 2022 averaged at €1,070/t for HRC price in Northern Europe and at €1,005/t in Southern Europe. The price increase in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by the effects of the war in Ukraine, which led to a temporary halt of

material supplies from Russia and Ukraine, as well as an increase in energy costs under threat due to the risk of reduction in oil and gas supply.

The beginning of the second quarter of 2022 continued with the high pricing environment, as the April reference price topped the March reference price. European HRC reached €1,346/t in Northern Europe and €1,279/t in Southern Europe during April, a high for the first half of 2022. However, the trend from the first quarter of 2022 reversed in May and June. While prices in the second quarter of 2022 averaged above the first quarter average prices, at €1,115/t in Northern Europe and €1,050/t in Southern Europe thanks to the strong prices in April, prices at the end of June 2022 were down to €1,093/t and €1,028/t in the two regions, respectively, and on an expected downward trend. Uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine, elevated inflation levels, as well as recessionary concerns continue to weigh on prices.

In the United States, domestic HRC prices averaged $1,317/t in the first quarter of 2021 and increased by another $382/t to $1,699/t in the second quarter of 2021. Therefore, in the first half of 2021, U.S. domestic HRC prices improved by 56%, averaging $1,508/t. Similar to Europe, steel demand in the U.S. rebounded faster than supply, resulting in supply-demand pressure domestically. The flow of steel imports into the U.S. was also restricted by Section 232 (with a 25% tariff on most imports). Demand pressure created record long lead times at mills. All of these factors put together determined spiraling domestic HRC prices throughout the first half of 2021.

The spiraling effect continued through the third quarter of 2021, when the U.S. domestic Midwest HRC price reported its peak for the year, in September, at $2,156/t, averaging the quarter at a record high of $2,086/t. The robust demand environment, coupled with a still limited supply (domestically and from imports), high lead-times, transportation congestions, skyrocketing shipping costs, all maintained the price reference at a high level.

The last quarter of 2021 brought the U.S. domestic Midwest HRC price to an average of $1,973/t, a drop of $113/t versus the previous quarter. The price inflection was reported in October 2021, at $2,121/t, declining by $35/t month on month. This was a reflection of the pressure coming from rising imports and increasing capacity utilization of domestic mills.The second half of 2021 averaged to $2,030/t, higher than the second half of 2020 by $1,329/t.

The price decline, which started in October 2021, continued until February 2022 bottoming out at $1,214/t. The first quarter of 2022 averaged at $1,373/t, $600/t lower quarter on quarter. This downward pressure on prices was driven by customers’ decisions to sit on the sidelines, postponing purchases and

depleting inventories, thus further deepening the price correction. Various industries (automotive, appliances) were facing constraints in parts’ supplies, as well as labor force shortages, generating weakening demand.

Nevertheless, the second quarter of 2022 registered an upward trend in price movement beginning in April, peaking at $1,617/t. This price spike was a repercussion of the war in Ukraine amid fears of disruptions in supply chains. After the April increase, the U.S. domestic Midwest HRC price shifted downwards again, to a low of $1,208/t in June 2022, resulting in an average price for the second quarter of $1,434/t. The U.S. domestic Midwest HRC price amounted to $1,404/t at the end of June 2022, lower than the first and second half of 2021 by $104/t and $626/t, respectively.

In China, in the first quarter of 2021, domestic HRC prices averaged $650/t, VAT excluded, $87/t higher versus the last quarter of 2020. Domestic prices continued an upward trend from April 2020 until May 2021, reaching a peak of $812/t, VAT excluded. However, in June, prices weakened slightly. This change came as a result of the abolition of export rebates announced by the Chinese Government from May 2021 onwards. This measure was intended to discourage steel exports, and accordingly keep steel prices under check.

The third quarter of 2021 continued at an elevated level of $789/t for the HRC in China, VAT excluded, with the peak of the year reached in October at $865/t. The increasing environmental regulations imposed domestically, enforcing steel production cuts in certain regions (e.g. Jiangsu, Tangshan particularly in the second half of the year), along with the tensions generated by the limited supply of raw materials, all pushed the Chinese domestic HRC price upwards.

In November 2021, there was however a sharp decline in price down to $666/t (a drop by $166/t month-on-month). This was a direct effect of the Chinese Government’s intervention to loosen the electricity supply crisis and relax control on coal prices. Downstream demand for steel products appeared sluggish by the end of 2021, given seasonality and uncertainty around the pandemic situation domestically. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Chinese domestic HRC price, VAT excluded, ended at an average of $699/t.

After the November 2021 low of $666/t, the Chinese HRC price, VAT excluded, started gradually to rehabilitate, reaching a level of $717/t , VAT excluded, in March 2022, the highest reported level in the first half of 2022. The HRC price for the first quarter of 2022 averaged at $701/t, VAT excluded, only $2/t higher quarter on quarter. From April onwards, the HRC price showed a month-on-month decline, ending the quarter in June 2022, at $611/t, VAT excluded. The Chinese HRC price averaged at $650/t in the second quarter of 2022, a $51/t decrease quarter-

on-quarter, VAT excluded. The resulting first half 2022 average price of $675/t, VAT excluded, was $36/t below the first half 2021 average price. The HRC price performance in China has been deeply affected by the multiple COVID-19 outbreaks which paralyzed various parts of the country from March 2022 onwards. The Chinese economy has been crippled by disrupted manufacturing activity and by paralyzed distribution in the supply chains, all following the lockdowns imposed since the end of the first quarter of 2022.

In 2021, European medium sections prices and rebar prices continued their upward trend through June 2021. First quarter prices averaged €722/t and €629/t, for medium sections and rebar, respectively, in Europe. In the second quarter, prices continued to strengthen with medium sections and rebar reaching an average of €860/t and €710/t, respectively. The price increase in the first half of 2021 resulted from recovering domestic economies in Europe, with strengthening demand but limited steel supply domestically, as well as long lead times. In the first half of 2021, the average reference price in Europe for medium sections stood at €791/t and for rebar at €670/t.

The favorable pricing environment continued through the third quarter of 2021 with average prices reaching record high levels of €1,039/t for medium sections and €826/t for rebars. Strong demand, increasing freight costs and ports' congestions have all reinforced elevated price levels in Europe.

From September 2021 onwards, domestic prices changed direction. The average price for the last quarter of 2021 was reported for medium sections at €995/t and rebars at €795/t. This decline over the last four months of the year was determined by the rebalancing of the European demand-supply situation, with domestic mills reporting strong production figures.

The first quarter of 2022 started with increasing prices in Europe, with medium sections at €1,063/t and rebars at €818/t in January. The trend continued through April, when each of the two price references hit a half yearly peak of €1,500/t and €1,313/t respectively. From May onwards, medium sections and rebar prices in Europe started weakening, reaching in June a level of €1,333/t and €1,126/t correspondingly. The price for the first quarter of 2022 reached an average of €1,172/t and of €928/t for medium sections and rebar, respectively, while the second quarter of 2022 recorded a quarter-on-quarter increase of €254/t for medium sections and of €292/t for rebar, totaling €1,426/t and €1,220/t accordingly. As in the case of European HRC price fluctuation, medium sections and rebar pricing in Europe was affected by the war in Ukraine, which altered and delayed the standard flow of semi-finished and finished steel products in Europe and pushed for buyer’ panic purchases. Prices in the first half of 2022 were reported at €1,299/t for medium sections and at €1,074/t for rebars up €514/t and €404/t, respectively, as compared to the first half of 2021.

In the first quarter of 2021, the price for Turkish rebar for export averaged $621/t, which was $114/t higher quarter-on-quarter, and $195/t higher year-on-year. At the end of March 2021, the construction season was only starting and demand for steel was growing more strongly than anticipated, COVID-19 vaccination programs were rolling, market sentiment was improving after the second wave of COVID-19 infections. Therefore, the second quarter continued the upward trend, with April 2021 recording an export price of $639/t for Turkish rebar, and ending in June 2021 at $726/t, representing a $87/t price increase over three months. The average for the second quarter of 2021 stood at $703/t.

After the peak in export price registered in May 2021, at $744/t, Turkish rebar FOB pricing started to weaken in the following months, reaching the yearly low of $665/t in September 2021. Export prices decreased on account of weakening long steel demand and dropping scrap costs. Furthermore, Turkey continued to be heavily hit by the domestic financial turmoil with high inflation/interest rates and destabilized domestic currency. In the third and fourth quarter of the 2021, Turkish rebar for export was priced at $691/t and $713/t FOB, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2022, Turkey rebar price for export gradually expanded to a high of $925/t FOB in March, a level above all previously reported prices since 2008. Prices continued to increase, reaching $936/t FOB in April 2022. After the high of April, May and June FOB export references indicated a declining price environment, ending the quarter in June at $692/t, down by $243/t versus the peak in April.The first quarter averaged $795/t for the Turkish rebar for export in FOB terms, while the second quarter increased by $13/t, to $808/t.

The evolution of the Turkish rebar price for export was mainly driven by cost components, such as imported scrap HMS 80/20,

which peaked in March at $641/t, and higher electricity costs. The war in Ukraine also took a toll on the Turkish market, which absorbs Russian material among few markets that do not have sanctions against Russia. Nevertheless, with Russia and Ukraine out of the European markets, Turkey’s opportunity for these dislocated exports increased, but European demand was softening and adding pressure to prices.

Raw materials

The primary raw material inputs for a steelmaker are iron ore, coking coal, solid fuels, metallics (e.g., scrap), alloys, electricity, natural gas and base metals. ArcelorMittal is exposed to price volatility in each of these raw materials with respect to its purchases in the spot market and under its long-term supply contracts. In the longer term, demand for mineral raw materials is expected to continue to correlate closely with the steel market, with prices fluctuating according to supply and demand dynamics. Since most of the minerals used in the steel-making process are finite resources, their prices may also rise in response to any perceived scarcity of remaining accessible supplies, combined with the evolution of the pipeline of new exploration projects to replace depleted resources.

As for pricing mechanisms, since 2012, quarterly and monthly pricing systems have been the main type of contract pricing mechanisms, but spot purchases also appear to have gained a greater share as steel makers have developed strategies to benefit from increasing spot market liquidity and volatility. In 2020, 2021 and 2022, the trend for using shorter-term pricing cycles has continued. 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.

Iron ore

In the first quarter of 2021, iron ore prices were supported by sustained Chinese demand with a double-digit year on year increase in steel production while seaborne supply had its low seasonality. Iron ore prices reached $167.40/t in the first quarter and increased to $200.47/t in the second quarter of 2021, supported by strong steel production worldwide including China, as a result of steel supply shortages along with fast post-COVID-19 recovery. In the third quarter of 2021, the seaborne iron ore price lost $36/t compared to previous quarter due to stringent carbon emission control conducted by Chinese authorities while supply remained stable. Iron ore price reached the lowest point of $87.27/t of the year in November on further reduction in China's steel production due to nation-wide power shortage, inspection on crude steel cut and air quality control during heating season. Market sentiment was bolstered at the end of the year with expected production resumption and winter storage demand, which pushed the price up to $115.25/t in December 2021.

In the first quarter of 2022, after an initial increase in iron ore prices to $161.65/t in early March mainly driven by bullish sentiment that Chinese steel production would ramp-up after the government announced 5.5% GDP growth target for 2022 and stimulus packages targeted at the construction and infrastructure sectors, iron ore prices dropped to $136.19/t in mid-March following a sudden COVID -19 outbreak in China and the implementation of strict lockdowns. In the second quarter of 2022, iron ore prices in China again rebounded to $160.69/t in early April driven by supply concerns due to low shipments and intensifying war between Russia and Ukraine. However, iron ore prices dropped to $108.98/t in June with collapsing market confidence due to a severely hampered Chinese economy with repeated lockdowns across the country. Steel demand has been deteriorating as a result of lukewarm downstream activities, historic high steel inventory levels both in mills and traders’ warehouses, and inclement weather conditions. Ex-China demand also weakened with rising inflation and the US Federal Reserve’s tightening monetary policy.

Coking coal

In the first quarter of 2021, the Australian premium low-volatile hard coking coal index (see table below) increased by approximately 17% (average Q1 2021 index at $128.22/t) and in the second quarter of 2021 by an additional 8% (average Q2 2021 index at $138.78/t), supported by healthy global demand from steel mills and by the limited spot supply of some the major mines in Queensland, Australia. Metallurgical coal prices then continued to surge to historical highs in September 2021 (average Q3 2021 index at $264.25/t) driven by tight supply from major producers and rising demand from ex-China regions. The diversion of Australian coal from China to other markets was effectively complete, with the previous surplus of Australian

continued

supply now largely redirected. In October and November, metallurgical coal prices levelled out (average Q4 2021 index at $369.81/t).

In the first quarter of 2022, metallurgical coal prices have reached historic highs at $487.09/t (compared to $128.22/t in Q1 2021) amid a faster than expected demand recovery, a tight global supply situation and an illiquid spot market. Australia was confronted with both heavy rainfall (which affected production and logistics in Queensland), and a severe rise in COVID-19 cases, which disrupted workforce at mining operations. In addition, the Russian invasion of Ukraine sent prices to new records in March 2022 as the new uncertainty over coal shipping has caused panic in the market. In the second quarter of 2022, metallurgical coal prices averaged $445.95/t (compared to $138.78/t in Q2 2021). The spot price at the end of June 2022 was $302/t.

ArcelorMittal has continued to leverage its full iron ore and coking coal supply chain and diversified supply portfolio as well as the flexibility provided by contractual terms to mitigate regional supply disruptions and also mitigate part of the market price volatility.

Scrap

The Company considers the German suppliers’ index (“BDSV”) Delivered at Place (“DAP”) as market reference. During 2022, the German suppliers index “BDSV” for reference grade E3 started in January and February at €419/t and €438/t, respectively. In March and April, it further increased to €542/t and €564/t, respectively. However, in May, it decreased to €486/t and ended June with a sharp decrease to €382/t.

In the first half of 2022, the average index was €472/t as compared to €373/t in the first half of 2021, an €99/t or 26% increase.

Turkey’s scrap imports were stable in the first four months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, at 8.4 million tonnes ("Mt"). It remains by far the main scrap buying country in

the international market. Turkey's total crude steel production in the first five months of 2022 was 16.0 Mt, down by 0.45 Mt or 2.8% compared to the same period of 2021.

Scrap Index HMS 1&2 CFR Turkey, North Europe reference, started January 2022 at $459/t and then continuously increased until reaching $631/t in March 2022. From April 2022 onwards, the index continuously declined reaching $366/t in June 2022.

In the first half of 2022, the average price of the European domestic scrap price of grade 3 was $6/t higher than the export price of HMS 1&2 CFR Turkey, North Europe reference. In the first half of 2021, the average price of the European domestic scrap price was $3/t higher than the export price of HMS 1&2 CFR Turkey, North Europe reference.

In the domestic U.S. market, the HMS 1 delivered Midwest index increased from an average of $427/t for the first half of 2021 to $455/t for the first half of 2022 ($392/t at June 30, 2022).

On the export market, HMS export FOB New York average price for the fist half of 2022 was at $467/t, an increase by $39/t compared to $428/t for the first half of 2021 ($346/t at June 30, 2022).

Ferro alloys and base metals

The underlying price driver for manganese alloys is the price of manganese ore, which was at a price level of $7.26 per dry metric ton unit (“/dmtu”) (for 44% lump ore) on Cost, Insurance and Freight (“CIF”) China in June 2022 while it was $5.44/dmtu in January 2022.The price of manganese ore peaked at $7.92/dmtu following disruption in South Africa due to floods in April 2022.

The average price of high carbon ferro manganese in the first half of 2022 was $2,238/t, higher compared to the first half of 2021 ($1,507/t). The average price of silicon manganese in the first half of 2022 was $2,349/t as compared to $1,474/t in the first half of 2021. The average price of medium carbon ferro manganese in the first half of 2022 was $3,956/t, as compared to $2,189/t during the first half of 2021. The increase in manganese alloys prices is due to various factors – including but not limited to continued tight logistics, strong demand and the war in Ukraine.

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 2022 was $3,834/t, representing a 35% increase as compared to the average price in the first half of 2021 of $2,832/t, mainly driven by high

demand, and strong U.S. dollar. In January, the average price was $3,607/t while the average price in June was $3,644/t, with a high of $4,530/t on April 16, 2022 and a low of $3,252/t on June 30, 2022. Stocks registered at the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) warehouses stood at 81,075 tonnes as of June 30, 2022, representing a 59% decrease compared to December 31, 2021 when registered stocks stood at 199,575 tonnes.

The average price of tin in the first half of 2022 was $40,211/t, representing an increase of 42% compared to the first half 2021 average of $28,311/t.

The average price of Primary Aluminum (LME Cash Settlement) in the first half of 2022 was $3,075/t, representing an increase of 37% as compared to the average price in the first half of 2021 of $2,245/t mainly driven by high demand and the war in Ukraine. The average price in January was $3,003/t while the average price in June was $2,563/t, with a high of $3,984/t on March 7, 2022 and a low of $2,397/t on June 30, 2022. Stocks registered at the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) warehouses stood at 373,275 tonnes on June 30, 2022, representing a 60% decrease compared to December 31, 2021 when registered stocks stood at 939,200 tonnes.

The average price of nickel in the first half of 2022 was $27,636/t, representing a 58% increase compared to the first half of 2021 average of $17,466/t. The price at the end of June stood at $23,100/t.

Energy

Solid fuels, electricity and natural gas are some of the primary raw material inputs for a steelmaker. ArcelorMittal is exposed to price volatility in each of these raw materials with respect to its purchases in the spot market and under its long-term supply contracts.

Oil

During the first half of 2021, oil prices continued their upward trend and gained 46% in six months (from $51 per barrel ("bbl") at the beginning of January 2021 to $75/bbl by the end of June). The second quarter of 2021 was more than twice as expensive as the second quarter of 2020. The price increase was mainly driven by extended demand optimism due to easing lockdowns, vaccine rollouts and worldwide strong industrial output. At the same time, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and Russia were keeping a lid on supply by only gradually adding more barrels to the market. During the third quarter of 2021, oil traded mostly range-bound between $65/bbl and $75/bbl. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the range widened to $65-$85/bbl. The upward trend continued in the first quarter of 2022, exacerbated by war in Ukraine. Brent peaked at almost $140/bbl early March and has been trading range-bound between $100-$125/bbl, and only periodically been breaking the $100/bbl mark. Fundamentally, the market was torn between

OPEC and its allies struggling to meet their rising output quotas, Europe eying with a Russian oil embargo and the fear of the looming negative consequences for the global economy.

CO2

The integrated steel process involves carbon reduction which leads to CO2 emissions, which distinguishes integrated steel producers from mini-mills and many other industries where CO2 generation is primarily linked to energy use. ArcelorMittal targets a 35% and 25% reduction in emissions by 2030 in Europe and group-wide, respectively, and has plans to become carbon neutral by 2050 as detailed in its climate action report available on its website (which highlights that ArcelorMittal Europe is investing in two routes to carbon neutrality, Smart Carbon and an innovative DRI-based route).

Launched in 2005, the European Union Emission Trading System (“EU-ETS”) is currently in its fourth phase, stretching from January 2021 to December 2030. The EU-ETS is based on a cap-and-trade principle; it sets a cap on greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”) from covered installations, which is then reduced year after year.

On January 1, 2021, Phase 4 of the EU-ETS started, which delayed the hand-out of free allocation. At the same time the UK left the scheme and set up its own, with trading starting in May. The EU Commission proposed its "Fit for 55" package and hence various changes to the EU-ETS to reduce future supply and drive decarbonization. Those events led to uncertainty and hectic trading behavior. Exacerbated by the economic recovery, the EUA price went on a sharp rally. The market started 2021 below €35 per ton of CO2 equivalent (“€/tCO2e”) and ended above €80/tCO2e, while the average carbon price throughout 2021 was €68/tCO2e. The highest point of the year was on December 8, 2021 when carbon prices broke the €90/tCO2e mark.

continued

During the first quarter of 2022, the price for carbon continued its upward trend trading at a new all-time high of €98.5/tCO2e on February 8, 2022. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine lead to a price drop of 42% in just 5 days and left the market trading at a 5-month low of €55/tCO2e. In the following weeks, the CO2 price regained much of its losses and climbed back up to above €80/tCO2e by end of April 2022. During May and June, CO2 traded directionless between €80-€90/tCO2e, only briefly breaching the range on either side. Fundamentally, the market is stuck between recession fears and bullish policy changes which will restrict supply in the future aiming to further progress the energy transition. On June 22, 2022, the European Parliament agreed on its position regarding the EU ETS reform (main elements: 2030 emission reduction target, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and free allocation) .

Natural gas - Europe

In 2021, TTF (the price for natural gas, which is traded on a virtual trading platform located in the Netherlands) continued its upward trend, which started in the second half of 2020. The low point of slightly below €16 per Megawatt hour (“MWh”) was reached at the end of February 2021. While the high point was reached just before Christmas (€182/MWh). This marked a more than 1000% increase in price, amid the need to refill historical low storages, the battle for liquefied natural gas ("LNG") with Asia, poor Russian piped supply into Northern Europe, and tension around the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The average price for TTF in 2021 was €46.5/MWh, 395% higher than 2020. While the first half of 2021 average of €21.9/MWh was almost three times higher than the first half 2020 average, it was only a fifth of the first half 2022 average of €99.4/MWh.

During January 2022 and until February 24, 2022, the TTF Spot Price (the price for natural gas to be delivered the next day) traded between €65-€100/MWh without clear direction. The invasion of Ukraine immediately provoked a price reaction as Europe feared for its gas supply through the continent, and at the same time the German government decided not to go ahead with the Nord Stream 2 project. The spot price peaked on March 7, 2022 at almost €340/MWh, only to plummet back down to below €100/MWh one week later. Until mid-June 2022, TTF Spot Prices traded between €80-€120/MWh but never reached levels seen just after the invasion again. Fundamentally, strong LNG arrivals, maxed out Norwegian pipeline flows and the lack of a prolonged period of cold weather gave the market some confidence that underground gas storage could be replenished to government inflicted targets of 80% fullness by October 1, 2022. However, the looming risk of sanctions on Russian gas supported prices. The debate about paying for gas in Rubles and some countries refusing to meet Gazprom's demand had only a limited upside impact on prices. It was only when Russia cut flows through Nord Stream 1, the lifeline for Europe, prices

breached the range and traded up to €150/MWh as traders and politicians across Europe again were afraid of not being able to fill up storage and a potential supply crunch for winter, which could impact production.

Natural gas - United States

In North America, natural gas prices (see table below) trade independently of oil prices and are set by spot and future contracts, traded on the NYMEX exchange or over-the-counter.

Henry Hub (the main gas hub in Louisiana) experienced a less severe price increase than other commodities in 2021, from averaging $2.72 per million British thermal units ("MMBtu") in the first quarter of 2021 up to averaging $4.84/MMBtu in the fourth quarter of 2021. In between, prices increased to $6.3/MMBtu in early October in anticipation of colder weather and the global thirst for US LNG exports. As more liquefaction trains go online, the global gas market had a stronger impact on the U.S. natural gas price.

On January 27, 2022, Henry Hub reached a new all-time high of $7.4/MMBtu thanks to the Texas Big Freeze. A wintry blast which hit Texas particularly hard, caused power failure and disrupted gas production as well as LNG exports. The invasion of Ukraine did not have an immediate impact on U.S. gas prices but over the months Henry Hub increased from $3.9/MMBtu mid-February to $9.6/MMBtu by mid-June, marking a new all-time high and a 150% increase in 4 months. Continuous supply side issues, low domestic storages and strong LNG export demand were the main drivers for this sharp increase. A fire at the Freeport LNG facility mid-June and a resulting drop in LNG export demand lead to a price drop to below $5.5/MMBtu by the end of June 2022.

Natural gas - Asia

Driven by cold weather in Asia, the Platts Japan Korea Marker ("JKM") - the LNG benchmark price assessment for spot physical cargoes delivered ex-ship into Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan - front month contract exploded in the first few weeks of 2021. By mid-January, it traded at $20/MMBtu, a new record. In February and March, the market had cooled down again and was trading between $7 - $9/MMBtu. However, the sharp rally started in mid - April and lasted throughout the entire year, not giving the market time to breath. Prices reached almost $50/MMBtu just before Christmas, breaking the record set in the first quarter of 2021. The price increase was fueled by the global need to refill depleted gas storage and a fierce battle between Europe and Asia to attract cargoes.

Similar to its European counterpart, JKM traded range-bound until the Russian government launched its invasion of Ukraine. On March 7, 2022, JKM reached a new all-time high of $52/MMBtu. Throughout the first half of 2022, JKM showed a great correlation to TTF, but kept trading at a discount, as Asian

buyers were still well stocked and in general more linked to long-term contracts. Furthermore, China the largest spot buyer was sitting on large stocks and kept battling from re-emerging COVID-19 outbreaks which lead to demand reduction.

Electricity - Europe

Due to the regional nature of electricity markets, prices follow mainly local drivers (i.e. energy mix of the respective country, power generation from renewables, country specific energy policies, etc.).

In 2021, the electricity price experienced new highs amid high fuel prices and renewable power not able to provide the needed relief. The fourth quarter of 2021 saw the highest prices ever recorded, four to five times higher than 2020.

In the first half of 2022, electricity prices marginally increased as compared to levels during the fourth quarter of 2021, but were more than three times higher than in the first half of 2021. Rising fuel prices (i.e., thermal coal and natural gas) as well as elevated CO2 prices lifted the marginal cost of hard coal and natural gas power plants, which provides the floor and ceiling for the power market. Power output from renewables was not particularly strong for the first half of 2022, while hydro reservoirs took a hit amid a lack of water. Furthermore, low nuclear availability in France has put further stress on the system.

Ocean freight

In the first half of 2022, the shipping market has performed decidedly below expectations. While the first quarter of 2022 is seasonally a weaker quarter due to the Chinese new year celebrations and golden week, the weaker shipping market has persisted with rates dropping across the board as a consequence of a reduction in COVID-19 related inefficiencies and easing of port congestion at key terminals. The war in Ukraine has also affected grain shipments and commodity flows from the Black sea leaving more ships available for other trades, driving rates down accordingly.

In light of reduced global steel production, the outlook for the near future is to a large degree dependent on developments in China. If China cannot significantly raise infrastructure spending in the second half of 2022, economic recovery is likely to be stunted, further impacting iron ore demand, and by extension freight rates on key iron ore routes for capes in particular.

The Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”) average for the first half of 2022 was 2,285 points compared to 2,266 points in the first half of 2021. Capesize rates increased by 3.59% from the start of 2022, averaging at $18,089/day in the first half of 2022, a year-on-year decrease of 24.6%. Average rates in 2021 were $33,333/day. The Panamax index decreased by 13.5% since the start of 2022, averaging $24,876 in the first half of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 12%. Average rates in 2021 were $26,898/day.

Projected fleet growth across all segments for 2022 was a moderate 2.4% year on year, compared to 3.6% year-on-year for 2021. Scrapping volumes have been largely subdued so far this year with only 17 bulk carriers being reported demolished year to date, removing 1.84 million deadweight.

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. These currency fluctuations, especially the fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro, as well as fluctuations in the currencies of the other countries in which ArcelorMittal has significant operations and sales, can have a material impact on its results of operations. In order to minimize its currency exposure, as part of its risk management, ArcelorMittal enters into hedging transactions to lock-in a set exchange rate.

In the first half of 2022, the euro depreciated from 1.1326 on December 31, 2021 to 1.0387 on June 30, 2022 against the U.S. dollar as a result of the rate increase by the Federal Reserve due to high inflation and soaring inflation in the euro zone resulting from surging energy, commodity and food prices in the context of the war in Ukraine.

The Polish zloty depreciated against the U.S. dollar throughout 2022 from 4.06 at December 31, 2021 to 4.52 at June 30, 2022. Although the Central Bank of Poland has been one of the central banks increasing rates the most in Europe, inflation and war concerns maintain the Polish currency under pressure.

The Ukrainian hryvnia depreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2022 starting from 27.28 at December 31, 2021 to 29.25 on February 24, 2022 when the quotation against the U.S. dollar was suspended by the central bank upon invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

The Kazakh tenge depreciated against the U.S. dollar in the first half of 2022 starting from 431.67 at December 31, 2021 to 465.08 at June 30, 2022. The tenge has suffered from a strong U.S dollar appreciation despite the surge in oil prices.

The Indian rupee depreciated against the U.S. dollar in the first half of 2022 starting from 74.37 at December 31, 2021 to 79.05 at June 30, 2022 due to inflation and India’s high dependency on energy imports in a context of surging prices.

The South African rand depreciated against the U.S. dollar from 15.91 at December 31, 2021 to 16.27 at June 30, 2022 in the context of global policy normalization and the strong overall appreciation of U.S. dollar.

The Canadian dollar depreciated against the U.S. dollar from 1.27 at December 31, 2021 to 1.29 at June 30, 2022, despite commodity prices weighing on the currency. The Canadian Central Bank fights inflation increased its rates following Federal Reserve tightening scheme.

The Mexican peso appreciated in the first half of 2022 against the U.S. dollar from 20.43 at December 31, 2021 to 20.18 at June 30, 2022. The acceleration of policy normalization by the bank of Mexico and a stable political environment have secured the Mexican peso strength.

The Brazilian real appreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2022 from 5.58 at December 31, 2021 to 5.24 at June 30, 2022 due to strong economy and support from Central Bank.

The Argentine peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2022 from 102.72 at December 31, 2021 to 125.23 at June 30, 2022, due to a poor economy as result of high debt and inflation in the local economy.

Trade and import competition

Europe

There has been a trend of imports growing more strongly than domestic demand in the European Union (“EU”) since 2012. ASC increased approximately 13% between 2012 and 2019, while finished steel imports increased by approximately 70%, taking market share from domestic producers. Over this period total finished imports have risen from almost 14 million tonnes in 2012 to over 23 million tonnes in 2019, causing import penetration to rise to 17% in 2019 from 11% in 2012.

While import penetration fell slightly to 16% in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to sharp decline in both ASC (11% year-on-year) and imports (15% year-on-year), in 2021, the strong rebound in ASC (around 16% year-on-year) coupled with supply side constraints that led to elevated steel prices attracted a 35% increase in steel imports. This led to import penetration increasing to 19% in 2021.

In the first quarter of 2022, prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, continued elevated steel prices in Europe led to a sharp increase in steel imports, up around 60% year-on-year. Since the invasion, the EU has banned Russian imports of finished steel, re-allocating the safeguard quotas to other third countries. However, third countries have taken time to respond and have not been fully able to offset the reduction in Russian and Ukrainian imports, leading to imports declining year-on-year from March to May 2022. Overall, imports are estimated to have increased by approximately 12% year-on-year during the first half of 2022. However, the war in Ukraine has led to a spike in energy prices, particularly domestic natural gas prices due to its large exposure to Russian supply, pushing inflation higher, eroding household’s real incomes and slowing GDP growth. Inflation coupled with supply chain issues, most notably for automotive manufacturers, led to ASC being broadly flat year-on-year during the first half of 2022. With imports increasing at a higher pace, import penetration rose to approximately 20% in the first half of 2022.

Traditionally, imports into EU27 (Europe excluding UK or EU) have come from the Commonwealth of Independent States (“CIS”), China, Turkey, Developed Asia and the UK, with these regions accounting for approximately 75% of imports between 2015 and 2020. While CIS has the largest share of EU imports,

Business overview

continued

accounting for approximately 25% of imports in 2020 and 2021, the war in Ukraine and the EU’s subsequent sanctions on the Russian economy caused imports from CIS to fall by approximately 24% year-on-year during the first half of 2022, reducing CIS’s imports share to 17%. Lower imports from CIS were offset by high growth in imports from both Developed Asia (+40% year-on-year) and China (over +70% year-on-year), leading to import share from Developed Asia increasing to 18% (2021: 14% share) and from China to 8% (2021: 5% share). During the first half of 2022, the import share of other major regions remained broadly stable at levels similar to 2021 (Turkey: 17% share – India: 10% share – ASEAN: 7% share – UK: 6% share – Africa: 5% share).

United States

Finished steel imports declined to approximately 18 million tonnes in 2019 (or an import penetration of 19%), after section 232 was implemented in 2018, adding a 25% tariff on most imports outside USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement). In 2020, the decline in real steel demand due to the COVID -19 pandemic pushed finished steels imports to fall by 23% year-on-year to approximately 14 million tonnes, with import penetration declining to 18%. In 2021, a combination of a strong post-pandemic steel demand recovery and elevated steel prices relative to global levels, meant imports grew approximately 50% year-on-year, far stronger than ASC growth ( 21% year-on-year), leading to import penetration increasing to approximately 21% in 2021 from 18% in 2020. The largest increase in imports of finished steel came from within USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), maintaining a historically high import share of 45%. Imports increased strongly from both Canada (approximately 48% year-on-year) and Mexico (53% year-on-year), with Canada accounting for 33% of U.S. imports while Mexico accounted for 12%, both close to 2020 levels. By contrast imports from Europe (EU27, Norway, Switzerland, and UK) lost their share, declining to only 13% in 2021 as compared to 15% in 2020 and 19% in 2019 (before COVID -19) as Developed Asia import share remained broadly stable at 20% in 2021. While the combined import share from Africa, ASEAN, CIS, and India, doubled to 10% in 2021, from 5% in 2020, it remained below the 12% import share they accounted for in 2019 (before COVID -19).

Steel imports continued to increase strongly during the first half of 2022 (33% year-on-year), much stronger than the increase in steel demand (ASC 6% year-on-year). As a result, import penetration increased further to 24% during the first half of 2022, up from 21% in 2021. The large increase in imports mainly came from EU27, after section 232 tariffs were removed, with import share increasing to 12% in the first half of 2022, from

11% in 2021, as well as ASEAN, whose import share increased to 7%, from 5% in 2021. While import share from USMCA – Canada and Mexico – declined to approximately 41% from 45% in 2021, the share of imports from other regions remained broadly stable, such as Developed Asia (19%), Turkey (4%), CIS (2%) and China (2%).

China

Chinese finished steel exports increased to 66.9 million tonnes in 2021, up 25% year-on-year from 53.7 million tonnes in 2020 due to strong demand post-pandemic in world ex-China. In the first half of 2022, Chinese exports rose to 67.5 million tonnes annualized due to sharp demand contraction in the second quarter of 2022 caused by lockdown and weakness in the real estate sector, while ex-China prices remained attractive. Indeed, exports rose most strongly year-on-year in May 2022 (47% year-on-year) and June 2022 (17% year-on-year) after lockdowns were implemented in April 2022, particularly in Shanghai. Due to trade protection measures, most Chinese exports are delivered to regions which are not the Company’s core markets, with approximately only 7% of Chinese exports destined for EU27 or North America in 2021. During the first half of 2022, the share of exports from China to EU27 and North America remained stable at 7%. In contrast, ASEAN received 29% of Chinese exports in 2021 and rose to 31% during the first half of the 2022, while approximately 15% of exports went to Developed Asia in both 2021 and the first half of 2022. While share of Chinese exports destined for Latin America rose sharply to approximately 17% in 2021 from approximately 12% pre-pandemic as export almost doubled, exports have since fallen during the first half of 2022, with export share down to approximately 10%. If, as expected, China enters a period of declining steel demand over the next decade, China will need to reduce its domestic steel making capacity or exports to the rest of the world will likely rise sharply.

Consolidation in the steel and mining industries

Prior to 2017, consolidation transactions had decreased significantly in terms of number and value in the context of economic uncertainties in developed economies combined with a slowdown in emerging markets.

However, in an effort to reduce the worldwide structural overcapacity, some key consolidation steps were undertaken in 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, specifically in China, in the U.S. and in Europe.

Steel industry consolidation in China aims at enhancing international competitiveness, reducing overcapacity,

rationalizing steel production based on obsolete technology, improving energy efficiency, achieving environmental targets and strengthening the bargaining position of Chinese steel companies in price negotiations for iron ore at time of heightened emphasis on decarbonization. The Chinese government had set a target that 60 to 70 percent of steel should be produced by the top ten steel groups by 2025. However, in 2021, the Chinese government focussed on setting a target to increase the ratio of the top five steelmakers' crude steel output to China's total output to 40% by 2025. Baowu Steel Group ("Baowu"), which is also the world's largest steelmaker, remains at the forefront of consolidation efforts by China's steel industry. In September 2019, Baowu and Magang (Group) Holding Co. Ltd ("Magang") signed a partnership agreement where Baowu secured a 51% stake in Magang, increasing Baowu's steel production capacity to approximately 90 million tonnes and representing a big step in the ongoing consolidation of the Chinese steel industry. In November 2020, Baowu increased its steel production capacity to 115 million tonnes mainly after the acquisition of Yili Steel. In February 2021, Baowu acquired a 90% controlling stake in Kunming Iron and Steel and increased accordingly its steel production capacity to 125 million tonnes. In July 2021, Baowu announced that it would take over China's seventh-largest steel producer Shandong Iron and Steel, and in April 2022, Jiangxi province announced that it has agreed to transfer a 51% shareholding in Xinyu Iron & Steel Group (Xingang Group) to Baowu. Both acquisitions and the announced integration of Baotou Iron and Steel Group (Baogang Group) in early 2022, once complete, will take Baowu's annual crude steel production to about 182 million tonnes.

In August 2021, Anshan Iron & Steel Group (or Angang) and Ben Gang Group, two of the biggest state-owned steelmakers in northeast China, completed the process of merging their businesses to create the world's third-largest steel producer with an annual capacity of 63 million tonnes. In June 2022, Angang announced its intent to acquire Lingyuan Iron & Steel Group, which would further consolidate the steel industry in northeastern China's Liaoning province. The acquisition would take Angang's annual crude steel output to over 69 million tonnes, accounting for over 6% of China's total steel output. The acquisition is still in the planning stage and needs approval from relevant government departments.

With the completion of the Baowu and Angang deals, China's top five steelmakers would account for about 33% of the country's production, up from 29% in 2021, and nearing the target threshold set by the Chinese government in 2021.

In 2021, privately-owned Fangda Steel Group, headquartered in Jiangxi province, entered into negotiations to take over an 80% stake in state-owned Anyang Iron & Steel Co. Ltd in northern China's Henan province. The takeover, if successful, would take

Fangda's annual crude steel output from 20 to 31 million tonnes elevating the company to the seventh biggest steelmaker in China. On June 2, 2022, Anyang Iron & Steel Co. Ltd announced that the deal has been currently suspended as an agreement with Fangda Steel Group was not reached.

In Europe, on October 29, 2019, Liberty House Group announced a merger with GFG Alliance's steel businesses to create Liberty Steel Group with a capacity of 18 million tonnes. According to the announcement, Liberty Steel Group will be the eighth largest steel producer outside China, with operations stretching from Australia to continental Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. In November 2018, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition (via a long-term lease) of ArcelorMittal Italia, Europe’s largest single steel site and only integrated steelmaker in Italy with its main production facility based in Taranto. The transaction was approved by the European Commission on May 7, 2018 subject to the disposal of certain assets in Italy, Romania, North Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and Belgium, which were completed in June 2019. In December 2020, ArcelorMittal signed an agreement with Invitalia to form a public-private partnership which became effective mid April 2021 and which was amended on May 31, 2022 (see “Key transactions and events”).

In another step towards consolidation in the U.S., United States Steel Corp announced on October 1, 2019 that it reached an agreement to purchase a minority stake in Big River Steel with an option to take complete control of the company over four years. On December 3, 2019, AK Steel and Cleveland-Cliffs announced an all stock merger which was completed in March 2020. In December 2020, ArcelorMittal sold ArcelorMittal USA's operations to Cleveland-Cliffs.

In December 2019, ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel Corporation ("NSC") completed the acquisition of AMNS India through a joint venture agreement and following the submission of a competitive resolution plan setting out a positive future for the bankrupt company, an integrated flat steel producer and the largest steel company in western India.

On July 28, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced it has signed an agreement with the shareholders of Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém (‘CSP’) to acquire CSP. Transaction closing is subject to certain corporate and regulatory approvals, including CADE (Brazilian anti-trust) approval and is expected by late 2022. CSP operates a 3 million tonnes capacity blast furnace and after the acquisition, would take ArcelorMittal's annual crude steel production capacity to approximately 85.7 million tonnes (see “Key transactions and events”).

Further future consolidation should allow the steel industry to perform more consistently through industry cycles by achieving greater efficiencies and economies of scale.

Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with ArcelorMittal's condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. ArcelorMittal reports its operations in five segments: NAFTA, Brazil, Europe, ACIS and Mining.

As from April 1, 2021, ArcelorMittal implemented changes to its organizational structure whereby primary responsibility for captive mining operations whose output is mainly consumed by their respective steel segments has been transferred to such segments. The Mining segment retains primary responsibility for the operation of the seaborne oriented operations at ArcelorMittal Mining Canada G.P. and ArcelorMittal Infrastructure G.P. ("AMMC") and ArcelorMittal Liberia ("AML") and continues to provide technical support to all mining operations within the Company. Accordingly, only the seaborne-oriented operations of AMMC and AML are reported within the Mining segment. The results of all other mines are henceforth accounted for within the steel segment that it primarily supplies.

Key indicators

The key performance indicators that ArcelorMittal’s management uses to analyze performance and operations are the lost time injury frequency (“LTIF”) rate, 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 operating cash flows.

Health and safety

Protecting the health and wellbeing of employees remains the Company’s overarching priority with ongoing strict adherence to World Health Organization guidelines (in respect of COVID-19) and specific government guidelines have been followed and implemented. A concerted effort is underway to improve health and safety across the Company and strengthen its safety culture. ArcelorMittal has completed a comprehensive review of its efforts to eradicate accidents and fatalities, and has started 2022 with a refreshed company-wide commitment to put this fully into action.

Corporate oversight of safety has been strengthened, the Company's Global Health & Safety Council is sharing and promoting best practice, peer-to-peer mentoring between sites has been introduced, training has been strengthened and the Company is prioritizing support for underperforming units.

The Company is also tightening guidelines for mandatory leadership shop floor presence. All leaders must now spend a certain minimum time on the shop floor every week – when they must carry out a safety layered evaluation. While the Company policy has always specified leaders to regularly spend time on the shop floor, setting out a higher minimum accepted level for

senior leaders will help reinforce the culture of visible felt leadership which the Company knows has weakened in some regions as a result of COVID-19.

Widespread use of what the Company calls ‘quarantining’ is now in place across all operations where plants are put into ‘quarantine’ if a seriously unsafe incident takes place or the plant is deemed to be at risk of a serious incident or fatality.

A change to the Company’s executive remuneration policy has been made to reflect this focus. The Company has introduced a 50% increase in the short-term incentives ("STI") link to safety performance (with fatalities acting as a circuit breaker); increased the safety target in STI plans to 15% and long-term incentive plans to 10%; and included ESG objectives in long-term incentive plans.

Health and safety performance, based on the Company’s personnel figures and contractors LTIF rate, improved to 0.67 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 0.83 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The below table excludes ArcelorMittal Italia which was accounted for under the equity method as of April 14, 2021.

Shipments and average, steel selling prices and iron ore production

ArcelorMittal’s steel shipments decreased 8.7% to 29.7 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 32.6 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Steel shipments on a scope-adjusted basis, excluding shipments of ArcelorMittal Italia, deconsolidated as from April 14, 2021, decreased by 5.8%. Shipments were higher in Brazil (3.6%) while Europe remained stable (on scope adjusted basis), and lower in NAFTA (3.7%) and ACIS (39.0%, primarily due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine).

Average steel selling prices increased 37.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 in line with international prices.

ArcelorMittal's total iron ore production decreased by 2.0% to 24.0 million tonnes (including 14.2 million tonnes in the Mining segment) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 24.5 million tonnes (including 12.2 million tonnes in the Mining segment) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 mainly due to lower production at the Company's iron ore operations in Ukraine following the ongoing conflict with Russia as well as in Kazakhstan, Brazil and Mexico, offset in part by higher production in Canada, which was negatively impacted by a labor strike action in the second quarter of 2021.

Sales

ArcelorMittal’s sales increased by 23.8% to $44.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $35.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher average steel selling prices as mentioned above, partly offset by 8.7% lower steel shipments mainly due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the impact of deconsolidation of ArcelorMittal Italia.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of purchases of raw materials necessary for steel-making (iron ore, coke and coking coal, scrap and alloys), electricity and labor cost. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $33.9 billion, increasing as compared to $27.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly driven by higher raw material, mainly coal, and energy costs offset in part by lower shipments.

Operating income

ArcelorMittal’s operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8,927 million, compared to $7,073 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating income in the first half of 2022 was primarily driven by positive steel price-cost effects offset in part by 24.0% lower iron ore reference prices.

In February 2022, the Company had announced a new 3-year $1.5 billion value plan focused on creating value through well-defined commercial and operational initiatives (excluding the impact of strategic projects which are followed separately). The plan includes commercial initiatives, including volume/mix improvements and operational improvements (primarily in variable costs). The plan is of strategic importance and aims at protecting the operating income potential of the business from the rising inflationary pressures that are being faced by the Company. The Company believes that improving its relative competitive position vis-a-vis its peers can support sustainably higher profits.

Crude steel production in the NAFTA segment decreased 7.3% to 4.1 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 4.4 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to lower flat and long production resulting from labor actions in Mexico and at ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada.

Steel shipments in the NAFTA segment decreased 3.7% to 4.9 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 5.1 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the labor actions as described above and lower demand in Flat Canada.

Average steel selling prices in the NAFTA segment increased 37.8% to $1,319/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $957/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2021, in line with the trend in market prices and the positive impact of automotive contract resets.

Sales

Sales in the NAFTA segment increased 28.3% to $7.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly due to 37.8% higher average steel selling prices offset in part by 3.7% lower steel shipment volumes.

Operating income

Operating income for the NAFTA segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,871 million, as compared to $936 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly driven by a significant positive price-cost effect, despite higher costs associated with the labor actions in Mexico (approximately $120 million) and lower steel shipments.

Total steel shipments in the Brazil segment increased 3.6% to 6.0 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 5.8 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher export volumes.

Average steel selling prices in the Brazil segment increased 21.0% to $1,136/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $939/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2021, in line with the trend in market prices.

Sales

Sales in the Brazil segment increased 26.8% to $7.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $5.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to 21.0% higher average steel selling prices with higher domestic and export prices and 3.6% higher steel shipments.

Operating income

Operating income for the Brazil segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,875 million as compared to $1,742 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating income increased 7.6% primarily driven by higher steel shipments, partly offset by the negative mix effect of higher share of exports, and $0.2 billion income for PIS/COFINS tax credits related to scrap purchases for prior periods.

Crude steel production, steel shipments and average steel selling price

Crude steel production for the Europe segment decreased 11.2% to 16.9 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 19.1 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operations relating to ArcelorMittal Italia were included until April 14, 2021 and then accounted for under the equity method following the formation of a public-private partnership between Invitalia and ArcelorMittal (renamed Acciaierie d’Italia). Accordingly, excluding the impact of the Acciaierie d’Italia deconsolidation, steel production in Europe segment decreased by 5.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to adjustment of production to demand as apparent demand declined and the impact of responses to higher energy prices.

Steel shipments in the Europe segment decreased 5.8% to 16.3 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 17.3 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly due to the deconsolidation of ArcelorMittal Italia as described above. Excluding the impact of the Acciaierie d’Italia deconsolidation, steel shipments in Europe segment remained stable.

Average steel selling prices in the Europe segment increased 42.9% to $1,254/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $878/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in line with the trend in market prices and supported by the positive impact of automotive contract price resets, offset in part by a negative translation impact due to euro depreciation.

Sales

Sales in the Europe segment increased 32.3% to $26.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $20.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a 42.9% increase in average steel selling prices as described above.

Operating income

Operating income for the Europe segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4,144 million, as compared to $1,861 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a positive price-cost effect, including the impact of contract pricing resets, partly offset by a negative translation effect due to euro depreciation.

Crude steel production, steel shipments and average steel selling price

Crude steel production for the ACIS segment decreased 34.4% to 3.7 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 5.7 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the ongoing reduction of production in Ukraine. At the onset of the war in Ukraine, the Company announced the suspension of operations to protect people and assets. Since then, the Company has slowly restarted operations, and is currently operating one of three blast furnaces. Blast furnace No.6 (approximately 20% of Kryvyi Rih capacity), was restarted on April 11, 2022 (to resume low levels of pig iron production). Iron ore production had been steadily increased to 55% capacity in second quarter of 2022. Furthermore, the second quarter of 2022 was also impacted by a two week labor action and logistic issues in South Africa.

Total steel shipments in the ACIS segment decreased 39.0% to 3.3 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 5.4 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the impacts as discussed above.

Average steel selling prices in the ACIS segment increased by 20.7% to $881/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $729/tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in line with the trend in market prices.

Production

The Mining segment had iron ore production of 14.2 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 16.9% increase as compared to 12.2 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of recovery in the second quarter of 2022 of production in AMMC following seasonally lower production driven by severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 2022, while the second quarter of 2021 had been negatively impacted by a four week labor action at AMMC.

Sales

Sales in the Mining segment decreased 6.3% to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to 24.1% lower iron ore reference prices partly offset by 18.7% higher iron ore shipments. Sales to external customers were $727 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a 3.2% decrease compared to $751 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to lower selling prices partly offset by higher shipments.

Mining segment iron ore shipments increased 18.7% to 14.2 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 12.0 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, following improved shipments at AMMC due to the reasons mentioned above.

With respect to average selling prices, the average seaborne iron ore spot price of $139.53/tonne (Delivered to China, normalized to Qingdao and 62% Fe US$ per tonne, Metal Bulletin) was 24.1% lower for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. It should be noted, however, that there may be no direct correlation between spot prices and actual selling prices at a given time. See also quarterly reference prices in "Raw Materials - Iron ore" above.

Operating income

Operating income for the Mining segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $974 million, as compared to $1,287 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to lower seaborne iron ore reference prices and higher freight costs partly offset by higher shipments as discussed above.

Investments in associates, joint ventures and other investments

Income from investments in associates, joint ventures and other investments was relatively stable at $1,137 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,043 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Income in the first half of 2022 includes improved contribution from European investees (including $0.1 billion income for Acciaierie D'Italia arising from recognition of a deferred tax asset in the second quarter of 2022) offset in part by lower contributions from AMNS India. AMNS India's crude steel production and steel shipments decreased by 7.0% and 5.3%, respectively, from 3.7 million tonnes in the first half of 2021 to 3.4 million tonnes in the first half of 2022 and from 3.4 million tonnes in the first half of 2021 to 3.2 million tonnes in the first half of 2022, respectively. AMNS India's operating income was negatively impacted by the introduction of the export duty during the second quarter of 2022 despite the positive contribution from external sale of pellets from the newly commissioned Odisha plant during the second quarter of 2022. With respect to AMNS Calvert, hot strip mill production1 decreased by 9.8% from 2.5 million tonnes in the first half of 2021 to 2.3 million tonnes in the first half of 2022 while steel shipments2 remained stable at 2.3 million tonnes in the first half of 2021 and 2022. Income in the first half of 2022 included also the annual dividend received from Erdemir of $117 million as compared to $89 million in the first half of 2021.

1.Production: all production of the hot strip mill including processing of slabs on a hire work basis for ArcelorMittal group entities and third parties, including stainless steel slabs.

2.Shipments: all shipments including shipments of finished products processed on a hire work basis for ArcelorMittal group entities and third parties, including stainless steel products.

Financing costs – net

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was lower at $104 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 following debt repayments and liability management.

Foreign exchange and other net financing losses (which includes foreign currency swaps, bank fees, interest on pension obligations, impairments of financial instruments, revaluation of derivative instruments, and other charges that cannot be directly linked to operating results) were lower at $323 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $427 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Foreign exchange loss for the first half of 2022 was $198 million as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $147 million in the first half of 2021. Other net financing expense for the first half of 2022 included non-cash mark-to-market loss of $10 million related to the mandatory convertible bond call option following the market price decrease of the underlying share (gain of $37 million in the first half of 2021). Foreign exchange and other net financing losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included early bond redemption premium expenses of $130 million.

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 (24.94%), 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 $1,381 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $946 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which included $214 million and $391 million deferred tax income, respectively.

The income tax expense for both periods was driven by the worldwide positive results partially offset by recognition of deferred tax assets.

Non-controlling interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $208 million as compared to $286 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the non-controlling shareholders’ share of net income recorded in ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal’s net income attributable to equity holders of the parent for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8,048 million, or $8.53 basic earnings per common share, as compared to the first half of 2021 of $6,290 million, or $5.40 basic earning 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. 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 are adequate for its present requirements.

As of June 30, 2022, ArcelorMittal’s cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash of $108 million) was $4.6 billion as compared to $4.4 billion (restricted cash of $156 million) as of December 31, 2021. In addition, ArcelorMittal had available borrowing capacity of $5.5 billion under its $5.5 billion revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, ArcelorMittal’s total debt, which includes long-term debt, net of current portion and short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt was $8.8 billion, as compared to $8.4 billion as of December 31, 2021.

Net debt (defined as long-term debt, net of current portion ($6.1 billion) plus short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt ($2.7 billion), less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash ($4.6 billion) was $4.2 billion as of June 30, 2022, up from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2021 (comprised of long-term debt

($6.5 billion) plus short-term debt ($1.9 billion) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash ($4.4 billion)). 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. Gearing (defined as net debt of $4.2 billion divided by total equity of $56.4 billion) at June 30, 2022 remained stable at 7% as compared to December 31, 2021.

The margin applicable to ArcelorMittal’s principal credit facilities ($5.5 billion revolving credit facility and certain other credit facilities) and the coupons on certain of its outstanding bonds are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in its long-term credit ratings. ArcelorMittal's long-term credit rating was upgraded on August 9, 2021 by Moody's to 'Baa3' with stable outlook and on September 23, 2021 by Fitch to 'BBB-' with stable outlook. In February 2021, Standard & Poor's revised ArcelorMittal's outlook to stable and affirmed a long-term credit rating of 'BBB-'.

ArcelorMittal’s $5.5 billion revolving credit facility signed on December 19, 2018, described in the Financing section below, contains restrictive covenants. Among other things, these covenants 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. This agreement also previously required compliance with a financial covenant, as summarized below.

Prior to the amendment described below and the change in the Company's long-term credit ratings described above, the Company was required to ensure that the ratio of “Consolidated Total Net Borrowings” (consolidated total borrowings less consolidated cash and cash equivalents) to “Consolidated EBITDA” (the consolidated net pre-taxation profits of the ArcelorMittal group for a Measurement Period, subject to certain adjustments as set out in the facility) did not, at the end of each “Measurement Period” (each period of 12 months ending on the last day of a financial half-year or a financial year of the Company), exceed a certain ratio, referred to by the Company as the “Leverage ratio”. ArcelorMittal’s principal credit facilities set this ratio to 4.25 to 1. On April 13, 2021, ArcelorMittal's revolving credit facility was amended so that the Leverage Ratio financial covenant would permanently cease to apply in the event that the Company obtained an investment grade long-term credit rating (with stable outlook) from two rating agencies (which was obtained from Moody's and Fitch in 2021, as described above). On April 27, 2021, the revolving credit facility was also amended so that the margin payable will be increased or decreased depending on the Company’s performance against two metrics measured annually against pre-defined targets with respect to its environmental and sustainability performance

(CO2 intensity of the Company’s European operations and the number of facilities which have been certified by ResponsibleSteel™). The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and was fully available as of June 30, 2022.

The borrowing base facility at ArcelorMittal South Africa remains subject to a financial covenant as of June 30, 2022. Non-compliance with the covenant would entitle the lenders under such facility to accelerate repayment obligations. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant related to this borrowing as of June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, ArcelorMittal had guaranteed $66 million of debt of its operating subsidiaries, compared to $89 million as of December 31, 2021. See also note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for all other ArcelorMittal guarantees for joint ventures indebtedness of $4.4 billion including $3.1 billion issued on behalf of AMNS India, $312 million issued on behalf of Calvert, $177 million issued on behalf of ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Al Jubail ("Al Jubail") and $318 million in relation to outstanding lease liabilities for vessels operated by Global Chartering Ltd. ArcelorMittal’s debt facilities have provisions whereby the acceleration of the debt of another borrower within ArcelorMittal could, under certain circumstances, lead to acceleration under such facilities.

On March 16, 2020, AMNS Luxembourg Holding S.A. (“AMNS Luxembourg”), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel Corporation ("NSC"), entered into a $5.146 billion ten-year term loan agreement with Japan Bank for International Cooperation, MUFG Bank LTD., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Mizuho Bank Europe N.V., and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited (London Branch). The proceeds of the loan were used to refinance in full the amounts borrowed by AMNS Luxembourg in connection with the acquisition of ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited (formerly known as Essar Steel India Limited), including the amounts borrowed under the $7 billion bridge term facilities agreement guaranteed by ArcelorMittal. The obligations of AMNS Luxembourg under the term loan agreement are guaranteed by ArcelorMittal and NSC in proportion to their interests in the joint venture, 60% and 40%, respectively. The guarantee provided by ArcelorMittal includes the same “Leverage Ratio” financial covenant as that described above for its $5.5 billion revolving credit facility dated December 19, 2018. On April 28, 2021, the syndicate of Japanese banks agreed that the Leverage Ratio financial covenant would no longer be applicable in the event that the Company obtains an investment grade long-term credit rating (with a stable outlook) from two rating agencies (which was obtained in 2021, as described above).

On July 27, 2022, the Company entered into a $2.2 billion bridge term facility agreement with a financial institution. The facility may be applied toward the purchase price for the

intended acquisition of CSP, as well as the refinancing of its existing indebtedness and the payment of related fees, costs and expenses. The facility is available for 12 months from

signing with two extension options of 6 months each at the borrower's discretion.

The following table summarizes the repayment schedule of ArcelorMittal’s outstanding indebtedness, which includes short-term and long-term debt, as of June 30, 2022.

Financings

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 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Principal credit facilities

On December 19, 2018, ArcelorMittal signed an agreement for a $5.5 billion revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). This Facility replaced the $5.5 billion revolving credit facility dated April 30, 2015, which was amended and extended on December 21, 2016. The agreement incorporates a single tranche of $5.5 billion. On November 27, 2019 and on November 26, 2020, ArcelorMittal exercised the option to extend the facility's maturity by one year to December 19, 2024 and to December 19, 2025 respectively. The commitments are $5.5 billion until December 19, 2023 and $5.4 billion until December 19, 2025. On April 27, 2021, the revolving credit facility was amended so that the margin payable will be increased or decreased depending on the Company’s performance against two metrics measured annually against pre-defined targets with respect to its environmental and sustainability performance (CO2 intensity of the Company’s European operations and the number of facilities which have been certified by ResponsibleSteel™). The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and was fully available as of June 30, 2022. The Company makes drawdowns from and repayments on this Facility in the framework of its cash management.

On September 30, 2010, ArcelorMittal entered into the $500 million revolving multi-currency letter of credit facility (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). 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 Letter of Credit Facility was amended on October 26, 2012 and September 30, 2014 to reduce its amount to $450 million and

$350 million, respectively. On July 31, 2019, the Company refinanced its Letter of Credit Facility by entering into a $350 million revolving multi-currency letter of credit facility maturing on July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2022, respectively. On August 5, 2020, the maturity of the Letter of Credit Facility was extended to July 31, 2023. On November 25, 2020 the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility was increased to $395 million. On June 25, 2021, the maturity of the Letter of Credit Facility was extended to July 31, 2024.

Schuldschein loans

On May 4, 2022 and May 6, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the offering of five Schuldschein loans for a total amount of €725 million, of which €634 million at floating rate and €91 million at fixed rate. The proceeds of these issuances were used for general corporate purposes.

The Company completed several financing transactions during the period ended June 30, 2022, see note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. For information with respect to the mandatory convertible bonds and mandatorily convertible subordinated notes, see notes 6.3 and 11.2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Working capital management

The Company 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, 2022, the total amount of trade accounts receivables sold amounted to $6.0 billion ($5.2 billion as of December 31, 2021). 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.


28			Interim Management Report

Business overview

continued

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 85 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 $4.2 billion of trade payables were subject to early discount by its suppliers as of June 30, 2022 as compared to $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2021). Given the nature and large diversification of its suppliers 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, 2022, a 5 day increase in trade payable days would result in a trade payables increase by $860 million.

ArcelorMittal's material cash requirements in the near and medium term

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, 2022. ArcelorMittal has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and capital expenditure incidental to the

ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2022, 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 2022 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 12 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. ArcelorMittal also has various environmental and asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2022 which are further detailed in note 9 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.

Sources and uses of cash

The following table summarizes cash flows of ArcelorMittal for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:


Summary of Cash Flows	For the six months ended June 30,
(in $ millions)	2022	2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	4,588	3,309
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(2,147)	386
Net cash used in financing activities	(1,836)	(5,168)

Net cash provided by operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities increased to $4.6 billion as compared to $3.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a $3.1 billion investment in "operating working capital" (reflecting relatively robust finished steel prices including positive automotive contract price resets and elevated raw material prices) which represents an outflow of $4.7 billion for inventories and $1.0 billion for trade accounts receivables offset by an inflow of $2.6 billion for trade accounts payables. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included a $3.5 billion investment in "operating working capital" (reflecting high activity and pricing levels) which represents an outflow of $4.0 billion for inventories and $2.6 billion for trade accounts receivables offset by cash inflows of $3.1 billion for trade accounts payables. Based on current market conditions, the Company expects a working capital release in the second half of 2022.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.1 billion as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $386 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Purchases of property plant and equipment and intangibles ("Capital expenditures") were stable for the six months ended June 30, 2022 at $1,184 million as compared to $1,188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Capital expenditure for the full year 2022 is expected to be $4.2 billion (lower than previous guidance of $4.5 billion) implying that capital expenditure for the second half of 2022 is expected to be approximately $3.0 billion. The reduction in capital expenditure guidance reflects timing of cash outflows with respect to capital expenditure, with slightly delayed capital expenditure on strategic projects in Brazil and lower activity including Ukraine. Capital expenditure outside of strategic capital expenditures and decarbonization projects is expected to be $0.1 billion lower at $2.8 billion (from $2.9 billion previously). Decarbonization capital expenditure is expected to be $0.3 billion (net of government support), and capital expenditure on strategic envelope projects is expected to be $0.2 billion lower at $1.1 billion (from $1.3 billion previously). Strategic capital expenditure envelope of $3.65 billion represents total to be spent on strategic projects as listed below in the period from 2021 to 2024. Specifically, $0.40 billion of the $3.65 billion has been spent through June 30, 2022.

The following tables summarize the Company’s principal growth and optimization projects involving significant capital expenditures (including certain of those invested by the Company’s joint ventures) that are ongoing.

a.On September 28, 2017, ArcelorMittal announced a major $1.0 billion investment program at its Mexican operations, which is focused on building ArcelorMittal Mexico’s downstream capabilities, sustaining the competitiveness of its mining operations and modernizing its existing asset base. The program is designed to enable ArcelorMittal Mexico to meet the anticipated increased demand requirements from domestic customers, realize in full ArcelorMittal Mexico’s production capacity of 5.3 million tonnes and significantly enhance the proportion of higher added-value products in its product mix. The main investment is the construction of a new hot strip mill. Upon completion, the project will enable ArcelorMittal Mexico to produce approximately 2.5 million tonnes of flat rolled steel, long steel approximately 1.5 million tonnes and the remainder made up of semi-finished slabs. Coils from the new hot strip mill will be supplied to domestic, non-auto, general industry customers. The hot strip mill project commenced during the fourth quarter of 2017, and the first coils were produced at the end of 2021 with ramp up now underway and on track to reach approximately 60% capacity in the second half of 2022. The hot skin pass mill (HSPM) first coil was produced at the end of the first half of 2022. In addition to the HSM project, a push pull pickling line (PPPL) is to be constructed to capture additional domestic volume through hot rolled pickled and oiled products. The PPPL will have a capacity of up to 0.75 million tonnes per year, and the first pickled and oiled coils are expected to be produced by the second half of 2024.

b.Investment in ArcelorMittal Dofasco (Canada) to modernize the hot strip mill. The project is to install two new state of the art coilers and runout tables to replace three end of life coilers. The strip cooling system was upgraded and includes innovative power cooling technology to improve product capability. The project was completed in the first half of 2022 with all equipment fully operating.

c.Investment to replace #5 Hot-Dip Galvanizing Line Galvanneal coating capability with 160 thousand tonnes per year Aluminum Silicon (AluSi®) capability for the production of ArcelorMittal’s patented Usibor® Press Hardenable Steel for automotive structural and safety components. With the investment, ArcelorMittal Dofasco will become the only Canadian producer of AluSi® coated Usibor®. This investment complements additional strategic North America developments, including a new EAF and caster at Calvert in the US and a new hot strip mill in Mexico, and will allow to capitalize on increasing Auto Aluminized PHS demand in North America. The project is expected to be completed in 2022, with the first coil planned for the second half of 2022.

d.In February 2021, ArcelorMittal announced the resumption of the Vega Do Sul expansion to provide an additional 700 thousand tonnes of cold-rolled annealed and galvanized capacity to serve the growing domestic market. The approximate $0.35 billion investment program to increase rolling capacity with construction of a new continuous annealing line and CGL combiline (and the option to add approximately100 thousand tonnes organic coating line to serve construction and appliance segments), and upon completion, will strengthen ArcelorMittal’s position in the fast growing automotive and industry markets through Advanced High Strength Steel products. The investments will look to facilitate a wide range of products and applications whilst further optimizing current ArcelorMittal Vega facilities to maximize site capacity and its competitiveness, considering comprehensive digital and automation technology. Civil and steel structure erection works at Combiline building is ongoing. Equipment erection at Acid Regeneration Plant #2 is progressing. The project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

e.ArcelorMittal Liberia has been operating a 5 million tonnes direct shipping ore (DSO) since 2011 (Phase 1). In 2013, the Company had started construction of a Phase 2 project that envisaged the construction of 15 million tonnes per year of concentrate sinter fines capacity and associated infrastructure; this project was then suspended due to the onset of Ebola in West Africa and the subsequent force-majeure declaration by the onsite contracting companies. On September 10, 2021, ArcelorMittal signed with the Government of the Republic of Liberia an amendment to its Mineral Development Agreement which is currently under the legislative ratification process. Detailed construction design is well advanced. Main civil works contract progressing to plan, whilst tenders for key construction contracts and remaining equipment are underway. Under this project, first concentrate product is expected in late 2023, ramping up to 15 million tonnes per year thereafter. Capital expenditure required to conclude the project, previously estimated at approximately $0.8 billion, is under review given impacts of inflation and enlarged scope. Under the agreement, the Company has further expansion opportunities up to 30 million tonnes per year. Other users may be allowed to invest for additional rail capacity.

f.ArcelorMittal Mexico is investing approximately $150 million to increase pellet feed production by 1 million tonnes per year to 2.3 million tonnes per year and improve concentrate grade in Las Truchas. This project will enable concentrate production to the blast furnace (BF) 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. All equipment purchase orders were placed and construction phase in approval process to start with civil construction of main buildings. Production start-up is estimated in the second half of 2023.

g.Approximately $350 million investment at Serra Azul (Brazil) to construct facilities to produce 4.5 million tonnes per year of DRI quality pellet feed to primarily supply ArcelorMittal Mexico steel operation. The project will allow to mine the compact itabirite iron ore. Environmental and operations licenses have been cleared. Detailed engineering is ongoing, earthworks have begun and procurement of main equipment is nearing completion. Civil works of auxiliary buildings completed. Project start-up is estimated in the second half of 2023.

h.The Monlevade upstream expansion project consisting of the sinter plant, blast furnace and meltshop has recommenced in late 2021, following the anticipated improvement in Brazil domestic market. Detailed engineering is ongoing. Piling, civil works and erection to be started. The project is estimated to be completed in the second half of 2024 with a capital expenditure requirement of approximately $0.5 billion.

i.Investment in ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih to build a new 5.0 million tonnes per year pellet plant which, together with the ongoing modernization of Sinter Plant 2, will ensure that all sinter operations in Kryvyi Rih are compliant with dust emissions environmental regulations and will enable cost reduction, quality and productivity improvement. In addition, the project will enable a CO2 footprint improvement by 750 thousand tonnes CO2/yr. First pellet was initially expected to be produced in the fourth quarter of 2023 with a capital expenditure requirement of approximately $0.3 billion; however the project is on hold and has been suspended with the revised completion date and budget dependent on when the project can be effectively resumed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

j.New $0.25 billion investment in sections mill at Barra Mansa (Brazil) with 400 thousand tonnes per year production capacity. The aim of the project is to deliver higher added value products (HAV) (Merchant Bar and Special Bars) to increase domestic market share in HAV products and to enhance profitability. Main equipment is contracted, disassembling of old mill to open space for the new equipment ongoing. The project commenced in 2022 and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024.

k.This $0.6 billion investment, combining solar and wind power, will be supported by Greenko’s hydro pumped storage project, which helps to overcome the intermittent nature of wind and solar power generation. The project is owned and funded by ArcelorMittal. Greenko will design, construct and operate the facilities in Andhra Pradesh, Southern India. AMNS India will enter into a 25 year off-take agreement with ArcelorMittal to purchase 250 MW of renewable electricity annually from the project, resulting in over 20% of the electricity requirement at AMNS India’s Hazira plant coming from renewable sources, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 1.5 million tonnes per year. The project commissioning is expected by mid-2024. The Company is studying the option to develop a second phase which would double the installed capacity.

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

Inflationary pressures have escalated during the first half of 2022 presenting significant headwinds to economic activity. The impacts on consumer and business confidence are leading to a slowdown in real demand, which has been exacerbated by destocking activity, resulting in apparent demand below real demand levels and a normalization of steel spreads.

The potential for energy supply restrictions presents a clear but, as yet, uncertain risk to economic activity in Europe.

The Company highlights the potential downside risks to the demand forecasts presented for the first quarter of 2022 in May 2022, which had forecast a contraction of global ASC in 2022

(while slight growth in global ASC had been forecast in the 2021 annual report), particularly to the forecast demand for Europe, given gas supply risks, and China given the impact of COVID - 19 related lockdowns. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to navigate the uncertainties around European gas supply given its predominantly blast furnace based capacity across multiple sites in nine EU countries.

The longer-term fundamental outlook for steel is positive. China’s focus on decarbonization and removal of VAT-rebates on steel exports are encouraging; so too are the actions taken by governments to protect against the threats of unfair trade. And it is known that steel will play a critical and vital role in the transition to a decarbonized and circular economy – there is no substitute.

Key transactions and events

During the first half of 2022, ArcelorMittal completed several financing and liability management transactions. Please refer to the "Business overview - Liquidity and capital resources" and "Business overview - Financings" of this report for a summary of these transactions.

•On January 14, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that 45 million treasury shares had been cancelled to keep the number of treasury shares within appropriate levels. This cancellation took into account the shares already purchased under the $1 billion share buyback announced on November 17, 2021, which was completed on December 28, 2021. As a result of these cancellations, ArcelorMittal had 937,809,772 shares in issue (compared to 982,809,772 before the cancellation).

•On March 3, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced its decision to idle its steelmaking operations in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine in order to ensure the safety and security of its employees and assets. The Company has been evaluating the situation on a daily basis and production had previously been reduced with the plant operating at a technical minimum (approximately one-third of its normal production levels). The process to safely idle all blast furnaces while maintaining asset integrity commenced on the same day. On April 11, 2022, blast furnace No. 6 (approximately 20% of Kryvyi Rih capacity) was restarted to resume low levels of pig iron production). Iron ore production has been steadily increased to approximately 55% capacity in the second quarter of 2022.

•On March 30, 2022 Votorantim S.A. exercised the put option right it has under its shareholders’ agreement with the Company to sell its entire equity interest in ArcelorMittal Brasil to the Company, following the acquisition of Votorantim S.A.'s long steel business in Brazil in 2018, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal

Brasil. The exercise price is calculated pursuant to an agreed formula in the shareholders’ agreement which applies a 6x multiple of ArcelorMittal Brasil Longs Business EBITDA in the four immediately preceding calendar quarters from the date of the put option exercise (subject to certain adjustments, such as the exclusion of any unusual, infrequent or abnormal events) less an assumed net debt of BRL 6.2 billion times 15%. ArcelorMittal Brasil calculated the put option exercise price in the amount of BRL 0.8 billion ($0.2 billion), but Votorantim S.A. has indicated that it does not agree with ArcelorMittal Brasil’s calculation of the exercise price. The definition of the final put option exercise price will be subject to the procedure specified in the shareholders' agreement, with arbitration being the ultimate means.

•On April 26, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it had completed its $1 billion share buyback program announced on February 11, 2022 under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of June 8, 2021. By market close on April 25, 2022, ArcelorMittal had repurchased 31,751,960 shares for a total value of €911 million (equivalent to US$1 billion) at an approximate average price per share of €28.68 ($31.49).

•On May 18, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that 60 million treasury shares have been cancelled to keep the number of treasury shares the Company holds within appropriate levels. This cancellation takes into account shares already purchased under the $1 billion share buyback announced on 5 May 2022. As a result of this cancellation, ArcelorMittal had 877,809,772 shares in issue (compared to 937,809,772 before the cancellation).

•On May 31, 2022, Acciaierie d’Italia Holding and Ilva signed an amendment to the Ilva lease agreement (with a conditional purchase obligation) to, among other changes, extend the longstop date for the fulfillment of the conditions precedent (and, therefore, the term of the lease of the Ilva business) by two years (until May 31, 2024). In parallel, ArcelorMittal and Invitalia signed an amendment to their investment agreement to extend the latest date for the second equity injection to May 31, 2024 (to coincide with the latest date for the fulfillment of the conditions precedent for the purchase of the Ilva business assets) and to reflect certain other circumstances. This amendment to the investment agreement confirms Acciaierie d’Italia Holding’s ownership and governance structure until May 2024. It also includes an updated industrial plan envisaging through 2026 investment in lower-carbon steelmaking technologies, including the construction of a 2.5 million tonne electric arc furnace ("EAF"), which is expected to open in mid-2024, and the relining of blast furnace #5, which is expected to start production in 2024.

•On June 9, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it had completed its $1 billion share buyback program announced on May 5, 2022 under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 4, 2022 bringing the total 2022 buybacks completion so far to $2 billion. By market close on June 8, 2022, ArcelorMittal had repurchased 33,349,597 shares for a total value of €943 million (equivalent to US$1 billion) at an approximate average price per share of €28.26 ($29.99). The shares acquired under the program are intended (i) to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations under debt obligations exchangeable into equity securities (ii) to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital, and/or (iii) to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs.

•On June 30, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition of an 80% shareholding in voestalpine’s world-class Hot Briquetted Iron ("HBI") plant located in Corpus Christi, Texas for total consideration of $818 million subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The state-of-the-art plant, which was opened in October 2016, is one of the largest of its kind in the world. It has an annual capacity of two million tonnes of HBI, a high-quality feedstock made through the direct reduction of iron ore which is used to produce high-quality steel grades in an EAF, but which can also be used in blast furnaces, resulting in lower coke consumption. HBI is a premium, compacted form of Direct Reduced Iron ("DRI") developed to overcome issues associated with shipping and handling DRI. The facility is ideally located with its own deep-water port and unused land on the site which provides options for further development. voestalpine has retained a 20% interest in the plant with a corresponding offtake agreement. ArcelorMittal would own 100% of any future development. The remaining balance of production will be delivered to third parties under existing supply contracts, and to ArcelorMittal facilities, including to AM/NS Calvert in Alabama, upon the commissioning of its 1.5 million tonne EAF. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, voestalpine's 20% interest is subject to a call option exercisable by ArcelorMittal upon termination of the offtake agreement or failure by voestalpine to purchase the offtake volume. In addition, voestalpine has a put option exercisable on the fifth, tenth and fifteenth anniversary of the acquisition date with an exercise price defined as the lower of equity value increased by an annual contractual return and fair value and for which the Company recognized a $177 million liability at inception.

In addition, during the first half of 2022, the Company completed the following additional acquisitions:

•On February 28, 2022, ArcelorMittal acquired John Lawrie Metals Limited, a UK based leading consolidator of ferrous

scrap metal, for total consideration of £35 million ($43 million net of cash acquired of $5 million) as part of its strategy of increasing the use of scrap steel to lower CO2 emissions from steelmaking in both the electric arc furnace ("EAF") and blast furnace routes.

•On May 2, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition of Architectural Steel Limited, a UK based manufacturer of bespoke metal fabrications and flashings for building envelopes to strengthen ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions' construction business within the Europe segment. Total consideration was £36 million ($39 million net of cash acquired of $6 million).

•On May 9, 2022, in order to strengthen the Company's plate operations in the Europe reportable segment in selected downstream and distribution activities, ArcelorMittal increased its interest in the former associate Centro Servizi Metalli S.p.A., a stainless plate processing business with operations mainly in Italy and Poland, from 49.29% to 91.68% through the acquisition of a 42.39% controlling stake for €13.5 million ($7 million net of cash acquired of $7 million).

Recent developments

•On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of three subsidiaries from environmental services and recycling company ALBA International Recycling (ALBA Metall Süd Rhein-Main GmbH, ALBA Electronics Recycling GmbH and ALBA Metall Süd Franken GmbH) active in ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling in Germany for total consideration of €90 million subject to certain closing adjustments.

•On July 28, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced it has signed an agreement with the shareholders of CSP to acquire CSP for an enterprise value of approximately $2.2 billion. Transaction closing is subject to certain corporate and regulatory approvals, including CADE (Brazilian anti-trust) approval, which is expected by late 2022. CSP is a world-class operation, producing high-quality slab at a globally competitive cost. CSP’s state-of-the-art steel facility in the state of Ceará in northeast Brazil was commissioned in 2016 and produced its first slabs in June of that year. It operates a three million tonne capacity blast furnace and has access via conveyors to the Port of Pecém, a large scale, deep water port located 10 kilometers from the plant. CSP operates within Brazil’s first Export Processing Zone, and benefits from various tax incentives including a low corporate income tax rate. The acquisition brings several strategic benefits to ArcelorMittal, including the potential to:

–Expand the Company’s position in the high-growth Brazilian steel industry.

–Capitalize on the significant planned third-party investment to form a clean electricity and green hydrogen hub in Pecém.

–Add 3 million tonnes of high-quality and cost-competitive slab capacity, with the potential to supply slab intra-group or to sell into North and South America.

–Allow for further expansions by the Company, such as the option to add primary steelmaking capacity (including direct reduced iron) and rolling and finishing capacity.

–Capture over $50 million of identified synergies, including SG&A, procurement and process optimization.

The state of Ceará has ambitions to develop a low-cost green hydrogen hub. The Pecém Green Hydrogen Hub, a partnership between the Pecém Complex and Linde, a leading global industrial gases and engineering company, is a large-scale green hydrogen project at the Port of Pecém which is targeting to produce up to 5 GW of renewable energy and 900,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen in a series of phases. The first phase, which the partnership currently expects to be completed over the course of the next five years, targets the construction of 100-150 MW of renewable energy capacity.

•On July 29, 2022, the Company announced a new share buy back program of 60,431,380 shares (approximately $1.4 billion based on share price as of July 26, 2022) to be completed by the end of May 2023 (subject to market conditions) under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 4, 2022, bringing the total 2022 buybacks announced so far to approximately $3.4 billion. This is the maximum shares purchasable under current shareholder authorization. The Significant Shareholder has decided not to participate in the program consistent with the position announced on February 25, 2022. The shares acquired under the program are intended to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations under debt obligations exchangeable into equity securities; to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital, and/or to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs.

Sustainable development highlights

Sustainable development highlights - leading the decarbonization of the steel industry

•On February 4, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced an acceleration of its decarbonization process with a €1.7 billion investment program by 2030 at its French steelmaking sites in Fos-sur-Mer and Dunkirk with support from the French Government while maintaining equivalent production capacities. This investment will enable a profound transformation of steelmaking in France and a total reduction of close to 40% or 7.8 million tonnes per year in ArcelorMittal’s CO2 emissions in France by 2030. This transformation will represent a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing industry in France and put France’s steelmaking industry on the path of the Paris Agreement. In Fos-sur-Mer, ArcelorMittal will build an EAF, which will complement the ladle furnace announced in March 2021 and supported by France’s recovery plan, ‘France Relance’. Together these investments will turn Fos-sur-Mer into a reference site for the production of low carbon, circular steel, made from recycled steel. In Dunkirk, ArcelorMittal will build a 2.5 million tonne DRI unit to transform iron ore using hydrogen instead of coal. This DRI will be coupled with an innovative technology electric furnace and completed by an additional EAF. Other investments are already under way to continue to increase the proportion of scrap steel used. The new industrial facilities will be operational starting in 2027 and will gradually replace 3 out of 5 of ArcelorMittal’s blast furnaces in France by 2030 (2 out of 3 in Dunkirk, 1 out of 2 in Fos-sur-Mer).

•On February 15, 2022, ArcelorMittal confirmed its plan for a CAD$1.8 billion investment in decarbonization technologies at ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s plant in Hamilton, following the announcement on February 15, 2022, that the Government of Ontario would invest CAD$500 million in the project, which followed the previous announcement in July 2021 that the Government of Canada would invest CAD$400 million in the project. The investment will reduce annual CO2 emissions at ArcelorMittal’s Hamilton, Ontario operations by approximately 3 million tonnes, which represents approximately 60% of emissions. This means the Hamilton plant will transition away from the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace steelmaking production route to the DRI – EAF production route, which carries a significantly lower carbon footprint. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2028.

•On March 17, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced an investment, with the support of the French government, to create a new production unit for electrical steels at its Mardyck site in the north of France. With this new unit, which will specialize in the production of electrical steels

for the engines of electric vehicles and which complements ArcelorMittal’s existing electrical steels plant in Saint-Chély d’Apcher, in the south of France, all of the group's electrical steels will be produced in France, strengthening France’s electromobility sector. This project is supported by the French government as part of France 2030. As part of this contribution to the electromobility sector, ArcelorMittal’s electrical steels will contribute to achieving the European Union’s goals on the reduction of CO2 emissions.

•On March 22, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it had established a strategic partnership with Greenko Group, India’s leading energy transition company, to develop a ‘round the clock’ renewable energy project with 975 MW of nominal capacity. The $0.6 billion project will combine solar and wind power and be supported by Greenko’s hydro pumped storage project, which helps to overcome the intermittent nature of wind and solar power generation. The project provides for 250 MW of uninterrupted renewable power to be supplied annually to AMNS India (ArcelorMittal’s joint venture company in India) under a 25-year off-take agreement to be entered into with AMNS India (starting in mid-2024). The project will be owned and funded by ArcelorMittal. Greenko will design, construct and operate the renewable energy facilities in Andhra Pradesh, Southern India. This will result in over 20% of the electricity requirement at AMNS India’s Hazira plant coming from renewable sources, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 1.5 million tonnes per year. The project provides an attractive return on investment for ArcelorMittal and offers AMNS India the dual benefits of lower electricity costs and lower CO2 emissions. The Company is studying the option to develop a second phase which would double the installed capacity.

•On April 29, 2022, ArcelorMittal published its 2021 integrated annual review, ‘Smarter steels for people and planet’. The review underpins the Company’s commitment to transparent reporting. It has been produced to reflect the guiding principles of the Value Reporting Foundation and in-line with the Global Reporting Index (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards, the United Nations Global Compact, and the European Union’s Directive 2014/95/EU on non-financial reporting. The Integrated Annual Review is a central element in the Company’s commitment to engage stakeholders and communicate the Company's financial and non-financial performance. It provides an overview of the Company’s performance in 2021, outlines progress against its strategic priorities, and details its short- and long-term plans.

•On May 2, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it has successfully tested the use of green hydrogen in the

continued

production of direct reduced iron (“DRI”) at its steel plant in Contrecoeur, Québec. ArcelorMittal’s ambition is to lead the decarbonization of the steel industry and this test is an important milestone in the Company’s journey to produce zero carbon emissions steel via the DRI-based steelmaking route using green hydrogen as an input. The objective of the test was to assess the ability to replace the use of natural gas with green hydrogen in the iron ore reduction process. During this first test, 6.8% of natural gas was replaced with green hydrogen during a 24-hour period, which contributed to a measurable reduction in CO2 emissions. The green hydrogen used in the test was produced by a third-party owned electrolyzer (device that produces green hydrogen from electricity and water) and was then transported to Contrecoeur. This is a major step forward since the iron ore reduction process alone contributes to more than 75% of ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada’s (“AMLPC”) overall CO2 emissions. AMLPC is evaluating the possibility of carrying out further tests in the coming months by increasing the use of green hydrogen at the DRI plant, which could eventually reduce CO2 emissions in Contrecoeur by several hundred thousand tonnes per year. The potential use of electrolysers to produce green hydrogen in Contrecoeur will depend on certain criteria, particularly the availability of sufficient electricity to power the units.

•On May 24, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it had achieved ResponsibleSteel™ certification for its Asturias Cluster in Spain, and ArcelorMittal Méditerranée in France – the Company’s first sites to be certified in both France and Spain.

•On May 25, 2022, ArcelorMittal launched the XCarb™ Accelerator Program to support breakthrough technology start-up and drive decarbonization. Breakthrough technology start-ups worldwide have been invited to submit applications to compete for investment from ArcelorMittal’s XCarb™ Innovation Fund, which aims to invest up to $100 million annually in such transformative technologies, and access to ArcelorMittal’s advice and expertise in innovation, research and development, technology commercialization and business mentorship.

•On May 25, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced that it had signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with SNIM, an iron ore mining company based in Mauritania, to evaluate the opportunity to jointly develop a pelletization plant and a DRI production plant in Mauritania. A pre-feasibility study would be carried over the next four to six months to give better insight into the viability of the potential project which would take advantage of Mauritania’s potential for renewable electricity generation and green hydrogen production.

•On May 31, 2022, HyDeal España, an industrial joint venture formed by ArcelorMittal, Enagás, Grupo Fertiberia and DH2 Energy, announced partnerships with four engineering, procurement and construction firms: VINCI Construction, Técnicas Reunidas, PowerChina Guizhou Engineering and TSK. HyDeal España aims to deliver competitive renewable hydrogen to an industrial complex in Asturias from facilities based in northern Spain. The total installed capacity is targeting 9.5 GW of solar power and 7.4 GW of electrolyzers. Production is targeted to start by the end of 2025, to produce about 150,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year from 2026 and reach 330,000 tonnes in 2030. ArcelorMittal and Grupo Fertiberia have announced their intention to contract, together with other key off-takers, the supply of 6.6 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen over 20 years.

•On June 1, 2022, ArcelorMittal and the government of Spain signed an agreement in which the government has pledged its financial support for the decarbonization of the Company’s steelmaking sites in Asturias and in Sestao, in the Basque Country. The agreement was signed on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, at a signing ceremony attended by the CEO of ArcelorMittal Aditya Mittal and the Spanish Minister of Industry Reyes Maroto. The funding, which is part of the government’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, will support the construction of an electric arc furnace and DRI plant in Gijón, which are crucial to the Company’s CO2 emissions reduction goals in Europe. The implementation of this project represents the first step of the Company’s decarbonization journey in Asturias. In order to implement the described transformation of the site in Asturias, an application has been submitted under the EU’s CEEAG framework, and is awaiting approval from the European Commission before the project can proceed.

•On June 14, 2022, ArcelorMittal published a concept for a low-carbon emissions steel standard to help incentivize the decarbonization of steelmaking globally and support the creation of market demand for physical steel products which would be classified as lower, and ultimately near-zero, carbon emissions steel.

–Dual scoring system which provides customers with a life cycle assessment (LCA) value alongside a rating system which measures progress towards near-zero

–Designed to incentivize the decarbonization of both primary and secondary steelmaking

–Provides transparency and consistency across steel products for customers

–Supports the development of markets for low-carbon emissions steel


Interim Management Report			37

Sustainable development highlights

continued

The creation of clear definitions for low-carbon emissions physical steel is an important component of ‘demand pull’ and ‘supply push’ mechanisms that are required to support the steel industry in its transition to net zero by 2050. Clear definitions will also help inform targeted policy to support the scale-up and commercialization of these near-zero technologies.

•On June 22, 2022, ArcelorMittal and energy company RWE announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to work together to develop, build and operate offshore wind farms and hydrogen facilities that will supply the renewable energy and green hydrogen required to produce low-emissions steel in Germany. The partnership centers on driving forward the production of carbon-neutral steel, with a plan to replace coal with wind power and green hydrogen as the main source of energy in steel production at ArcelorMittal’s steelmaking sites in Germany. The partnership includes assessing options for joint participation in tenders for offshore wind farm sites in the North Sea (depending on amendments to the Wind Energy at Sea Act currently under way) and jointly looking for areas where electrolysis plants can be built to supply the steel production sites in Bremen and Eisenhüttenstadt.

•On July 21, 2022, ArcelorMittal and automotive supplier Gestamp announced that they have successfully trialed the use of low-carbon emissions steel for use in car parts that will ultimately be used in the production of vehicles in Europe. The two companies have signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation on sustainability, specifically in the production of low-carbon emissions steel parts and are working closely to ensure that ArcelorMittal’s steel meets all Gestamp’s technical requirements. In this process, Gestamp has a very important role in validating the low-carbon emissions steel produced by ArcelorMittal in order to meet the standards of excellence its automotive clients need. This challenge is the responsibility of Gestamp’s R&D team that, due to the Company´s know-how, has developed a detailed, step-by-step procedure to validate and homologate ArcelorMittal’s low-carbon emissions steel for use in vehicle production. Using Usibor® 1500 made with XCarb® recycled and renewably produced substrate, Gestamp has successfully trialed the first parts (such as a car’s tunnel and seat reinforcements) in press-hardenable steel, which is ultra high-strength and therefore enables car manufacturers to achieve excellent weight reductions across the vehicle. XCarb® recycled and renewably produced is a decarbonized product made with a very high proportion of recycled steel in an EAF and 100% renewable electricity. The steel used by Gestamp has a carbon footprint that is almost 70% lower than the same product made without XCarb® recycled and renewably

produced. These are major steps forward in Gestamp’s ESG strategy to decarbonize their supply chain and contribute to the mitigation of climate change, collaborating to make this low-carbon emissions steel project a tangible reality and therefore more sustainable vehicles.

•During the first half of 2022, in the context of its decarbonization strategy, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisitions of an 80% shareholding in voestalpine’s HBI plant located in Corpus Christi, Texas and of John Lawrie Metals Limited, a UK based leading consolidator of ferrous scrap metal. See section 'Key transactions and events' for further details.

On May 4, 2022 at the annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the Company’s proposed dividend of $0.38 per share. The dividend amounted to $332 million and was paid on June 10, 2022. Following this dividend payment, the $608 million aggregate principal amount of the Mandatorily Convertible Notes due 2023 outstanding as of June 30, 2022, divided by the maximum conversion price of $10.64 per share equals approximately 57 million shares following conversion.

Equity-based compensation

The May 2022 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 3.5 million of the Company’s fully paid-up ordinary shares (the “2022 Cap”) and to adopt any rules or measures to implement the Executive Office Performance Share Unit Plan ("Executive Office PSU Plan") and the ArcelorMittal Equity Plan that the Board of Directors may at its discretion consider appropriate. Such authorization is valid until the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2023.

The Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company (jointly, the “Executive Office”) will be eligible for PSU grants under the Executive Office PSU Plan. The Executive Office PSU Plan is designed to enhance the long-term performance of the Company and align the members of the Executive Office 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 Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised of four independent directors, reviews the allocation of PSUs to the Executive Office, determines the criteria for granting PSUs, monitors the vesting criteria and makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors. Please refer to the 2021 Annual Report for an explanatory presentation, including a description of the performance targets applicable to each PSU grant.

Board of Directors

Mrs. Vanisha Mittal Bhatia and Mr. Karel De Gucht were re-elected as directors of ArcelorMittal at the May 4, 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders, each of them for a three-year term that will automatically expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025.

The Board of Directors is composed of ten directors, of which six are independent directors. The ten directors are Mr. Lakshmi N.

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.

Share buyback

The share buyback authorization approved by the annual general meeting of shareholders in June 2021 was cancelled by a resolution of the annual general meeting of shareholders on May 4, 2022. The share buyback authorization approved by the annual general meeting of shareholders on May 4, 2022 will remain valid until the end of the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2023, or until the date of its renewal by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders if such renewal date is prior to the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders in such manner that the shares held by the Company do not in any event exceed 10% of the Company’s issued share capital.

The maximum number of shares that may be held or acquired is the maximum allowed by the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the “Law”), in such manner that the accounting par value of the Company’s shares held by the Company do not in any event exceed 10% of the Company’s issued share capital.

The maximum number of own shares that the Company may hold at any time directly or indirectly may not have the effect of reducing its net assets ("actif net") below the amount mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 461-2 (formerly 72-1) of the Law.

The purchase price per share to be paid shall not exceed 110% of the average of the final listing prices of the 30 trading days preceding the three trading days prior to each date of repurchase, and shall not be less than one euro cent. The final listing prices are those on the Euronext markets where the Company is listed or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, depending on the market in which the purchase are made.

For off-market transactions, the maximum purchase price shall be 110% of the reference price on the Euronext markets where

the Company is listed. The reference price will be deemed to be the average of the final listing prices per share on these markets during thirty (30) consecutive days on which these markets are open for trading preceding the three trading days prior to the date of purchase. In the event of a share capital increase by incorporation of reserves or issue premiums and the free allotment of shares, as well as in the event of the division or regrouping of the shares, the purchase price indicated above shall be adjusted by a multiplying coefficient equal to the ratio between the number of shares comprising the issued share capital prior to the transaction and such number following the transaction.

All powers were granted to the Board of Directors, with the power to delegate, to effectuate the implementation of this authorization.

On April 26, 2022 and June 9, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced the completion of two consecutive share buyback programs under the authorization given by the annual general meetings of shareholders held on June 8, 2021 and on May 4, 2022, respectively (see "Recent developments"). To maintain its current level of voting rights, on February 12, 2021, the Significant Shareholder entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement with ArcelorMittal to sell, on each trading day which ArcelorMittal purchases shares under the programs, an equivalent number of shares in the proportion of the Significant Shareholder’s ownership of outstanding shares of ArcelorMittal. The sale is at the same price as the shares repurchased on the market. On February 25, 2022, the Company announced the decision of the Significant Shareholder not to further participate in the share buyback program. The Share Repurchase Agreement with respect to the then outstanding program was terminated. Accordingly, the Significant Shareholder has not participated in the share buybacks following the termination. As a result, the Significant Shareholder's interest in ArcelorMittal increased from 36.33% of issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2021 to 39.04% as of June 30, 2022. In the context of the sixth share buy back program under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of June 8, 2021 and the following share buyback program under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 4, 2022, the Company repurchased, 31.8 million and 33.3 million shares, respectively.

On January 14, 2022 and May 18, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the cancellation of 45 million and 60 million shares, respectively.

Extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on May 4, 2022

The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on May 4, 2022 approved (i) the cancellation of all the shares repurchased by the Company under its share buyback programs up to a maximum of 120 million shares and (ii) the consequent reduction of the issued share capital of the Company and the authorized share capital of the Company by an amount corresponding to the product of the number of treasury shares cancelled multiplied by thirty-six US dollar cents ($0.36), being the par value of the shares in the Company, and (iii) change of the Articles of Association accordingly, and (iv) the reduction or cancellation of the relevant reserves constituted under applicable law in relation thereto.

In addition, the extraordinary meeting of shareholders authorized the Board of Directors or its delegate(s) to implement the cancellation of the number of treasury shares determined by the Board of Directors and the corresponding reduction of share capital and related matters in one or more installments as deemed fit by the Board of Directors, to cause the share capital reductions and cancellations of the treasury shares and the consequential amendment of the Articles of Association to be recorded by way of one or more notarial deeds, and generally to take any steps, actions or formalities as appropriate or useful to implement this decision of the extraordinary general meeting.

The present authorization is valid for a period of three (3) years or until the date of its renewal by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders if such renewal date is prior to the expiration of the three-year period.

Interim Financial Statements			49

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements of ArcelorMittal and its Subsidiaries (“ArcelorMittal” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022 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 audited Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited and were authorized for issuance on July 29, 2022 by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Significant 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, inventories, which are measured at the lower of net realizable value or cost and the financial statements of the Company’s Venezuelan and Argentinian operations, for which hyperinflationary accounting is applied. 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, 2021.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16 and IAS 37 issued by IASB on May 14, 2020 and minor amendments as part of annual improvements 2018-2020 to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41. Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" are applied retrospectively while amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and the minor amendments as part of the Annual Improvements 2018-2020 are applied prospectively. These amendments did not have any material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

•Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" updated the reference to the Conceptual Framework for

financial reporting, without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.

•Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items and related cost in profit or loss.

•Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making are costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling the contract. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to contracts for which the Company has not yet fulfilled all of its obligations as of January 1, 2022.

•Minor amendments as part of the Annual Improvements 2018-2020 to:

•IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" related to cumulative translation differences for a subsidiary as a first time user.

•IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" related to which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 per cent’ test in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability.

▪IFRS 16 "Leases" removing the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor from illustrative example 13 in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives and

▪IAS 41 "Agriculture" removing the requirement for entities to exclude taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of a biological asset using a present value technique to ensure consistency with the requirements in IFRS 13.

Use of judgment and estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is comprised of the following:


	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Finished products	6,720	5,743
Production in process	5,354	5,101
Raw materials	9,180	7,137
Manufacturing supplies, spare parts and other 1	2,049	1,877
Total	23,303	19,858

1.Manufacturing supplies, spare parts and other consist of spare parts of 1.4 billion and manufacturing and other of 0.6 billion as of June 30, 2022. Manufacturing supplies, spare parts and other consist of spare parts of 1.4 billion and manufacturing and other of 0.5 billion as of December 31, 2021.

The amount of write-downs of inventories to net realizable value and slow moving items recognized as an expense are 203 and 57 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On February 28, 2022, ArcelorMittal acquired John Lawrie Metals Limited ("JLM"), a UK based leading consolidator of ferrous scrap metal, for total consideration of £35 million (43 net of cash acquired of 5) as part of its strategy of increasing the use of scrap steel to lower CO2 emissions from steelmaking in both the electric arch furnace ("EAF") and blast furnace routes. The Company completed its measurement of the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable asset and liabilities of JLM. Revenue and net income since acquisition date were 25 and 1, respectively. JLM is part of the Europe reportable segment.

On May 2, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition of Architectural Steel Limited ("ASL"), a UK based manufacturer of bespoke metal fabrications and flashings for building envelopes to strengthen ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions' construction business within the Europe segment. Total consideration was £36 million (39 net of cash acquired of 6). The Company completed its measurement of the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable asset and liabilities of ASL. Revenue and net income since acquisition date were 4 and 1, respectively.

On May 9, 2022, in order to strengthen the Company's plate operations in the Europe reportable segment in selected downstream and distribution activities, ArcelorMittal increased its interest in the former associate Centro Servizi Metalli S.p.A. ("CSM"), a stainless plate processing business with operations mainly in Italy and Poland, from 49.29% to 91.68% through the acquisition of a 42.39% controlling stake for €13.5 million (7 net of cash acquired of 7). The Company completed its measurement of the acquisition-date fair value of the

identifiable asset and liabilities of CSM and recognized a 3 bargain purchase gain in cost of sales. Revenue and net income since acquisition date were 28.6 and 6.3, respectively.

On June 30, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed the acquisition of an 80% interest in voestalpine’s world-class Hot Briquetted Iron ("HBI") plant located in Corpus Christi, Texas and subsequently renamed ArcelorMittal Texas HBI LLC ("ArcelorMittal Texas HBI") for total consideration of 818 (806 net of cash acquired of 12) subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company recognized acquisition-related costs of 7 in selling, general and administrative expenses. The facility has an annual capacity of two million tonnes of HBI, a high-quality feedstock made through the direct reduction of iron ore which is used to produce high-quality steel grades in an EAF, but which can also be used in blast furnaces, resulting in lower coke consumption. HBI is a premium, compacted form of Direct Reduced Iron ("DRI") developed to overcome issues associated with shipping and handling DRI. voestalpine has retained a 20% interest in the plant with a corresponding offtake agreement with a initial ten-year term renewable as long as voestalpine retains any interest in ArcelorMittal Texas HBI. ArcelorMittal would own 100% of any future development of operations. The remaining balance of production will be delivered to third parties under existing supply contracts, and to ArcelorMittal facilities, including to AM/NS Calvert in Alabama, upon the commissioning of its 1.5 million tonne EAF. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, voestalpine's 20% interest is subject to a call option exercisable by ArcelorMittal upon termination of the offtake agreement or failure by voestalpine to purchase the offtake volume and a put option exercisable by


Interim Financial Statements			51

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

voestalpine at the end of the fifth, tenth and fifteenth year subsequently to the acquisition date. The Company did not ascribe any value to the call option but recognized a 177 financial liability at amortized cost measured at the present value of the redemption amount of the written put option based on the lower of equity value increased by an annual contractual return and fair value. Following the recent closing of the transaction, the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of ArcelorMittal Texas HBI has been determined on a provisional basis, in particular with respect to property, plant and equipment. The Company expects to complete its measurement during the second half of 2022.

On July 1, 2022, in the framework of its decarbonization strategy, the Company completed the acquisition of three subsidiaries from environmental services and recycling company ALBA International Recycling (ALBA Metall Süd Rhein-Main GmbH, ALBA Electronics Recycling GmbH and ALBA Metall Süd Franken GmbH) active in ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling in Germany for total consideration of €90 million subject to certain closing adjustments. The Company expects to measure the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the three companies during the second half of 2022.

On July 28, 2022, ArcelorMittal announced it has signed an agreement with the shareholders of Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém (‘CSP’) to acquire CSP for an enterprise value of approximately 2.2 billion. Transaction closing is subject to certain corporate and regulatory approvals, including CADE (Brazilian anti-trust) approval, which is expected by late 2022. CSP is a world-class operation, producing high-quality slab at a globally competitive cost. CSP’s state-of-the-art steel facility in the state of Ceará in northeast Brazil was commissioned in 2016 and produced its first slabs in June of that year. It operates a three million tonne capacity blast furnace and has access via conveyors to the Port of Pecém, a large scale, deep water port located 10 kilometers from the plant. CSP operates within Brazil’s first Export Processing Zone, and benefits from various tax incentives including a low corporate income tax rate.

Revenue and net income attributable to the equity holders of the parent of the Company for six months ended June 30, 2022 were 44,585 and 8,099, respectively, as though the acquisition date of JLM, ASL, CSM and ArcelorMittal Texas HBI had been as of January 1, 2022.

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND GOODWILL

With respect to its steelmaking operations in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, with a carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of 2.1 billion, after the decision of idling made on March 3, 2022, the Company slowly restarted operations and is currently operating one of three blast furnaces. Blast furnace No.6 (approximately 20% of Kryvyi Rih capacity) restarted on April 11, 2022 (to resume low levels of pig iron production). Iron ore production has been steadily increased to 80% in the

second quarter of 2022 (up from 50-60% capacity in the first quarter of 2022). Given the weaker demand environment and ongoing logistic issues, iron ore production is expected to be reduced to approximately 30% in the third quarter of 2022. The Company revised its cash flow projections for the second half of 2022 and applied separate discount rates over the discrete projections period, including a higher country risk premium for the remainder of 2022 and 2023 cash flow projections and a return to a pre-war country risk premium as from 2024 and for the terminal value calculation as value in use is sensitive to a

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

difference in country risk for different periods. It concluded that the recoverable amount remains in excess of the carrying amount. Conversely, if the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine persists, it could continue to have a material effect on the overall macroeconomic environment potentially affecting steel and iron ore demand and prices as well as energy costs. It could also result in further reduced production, sales and income with respect to the Company's Ukrainian operations thus increasing the risk that the Company may need to record an impairment charge with respect to such operations in the future.

As of June 30, 2022, in the context of rising energy costs and surging inflation, the Company assessed the existence of any impairment indicator with respect to property, plant and equipment and goodwill relating to other cash-generating units and concluded that there are none.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY AND NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Share capital

On January 14, 2022 and May 18, 2022, ArcelorMittal cancelled 45 million and 60 million treasury shares, respectively, to keep the number of treasury shares within appropriate levels. These cancellations took into account the shares already purchased under the 1,000 share buyback programs announced on November 17, 2021, which were completed on December 28, 2021 and on May 5, 2022, respectively. Following these cancellations, the aggregate number of shares issued and fully paid up and share capital decreased from 982,809,772 and 350 as of December 31, 2021 to 877,809,772 and 312 as of June 30, 2022, respectively.

Authorized shares

Following the above-mentioned cancellations of treasury shares on January 14, 2022 and May 18, 2022, authorized share capital decreased from 442 represented by 1,241,418,599 ordinary shares without nominal value as of December 31, 2021 to 404 represented by 1,136,418,599 ordinary shares without nominal value as of June 30, 2022.

Dividends

On May 4, 2022 at the annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the Company’s dividend of $0.38 per share. The dividend amounted to 332 and was paid on June 10, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, dividend due and paid to non-controlling interests amounted to 158 and 178, respectively.

Share buyback

On April 25, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed its 1,000 share buyback program announced on February 11, 2022 under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of June 8, 2021 and repurchased 31,751,960

shares for a total value of €911 million (equivalent to 1,000) at an approximate average price per share of €28.68 ($31.49).

On June 8, 2022, ArcelorMittal completed a second share buyback program in the amount of 1,000 under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 4, 2022, bringing the total 2022 buybacks announced so far to 2,000. ArcelorMittal repurchased 33,349,597 shares for a total value of €943 million (equivalent to 1,000) at an approximate average price per share of €28.26 ($29.99). The shares acquired under the program are intended (i) to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations under debt obligations exchangeable into equity securities (ii) to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital, and/or (iii) to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs.

On July 29, 2022, the Company announced a new share buy back program of 60,431,380 shares (approximately 1.4 billion based on share price as of July 26, 2022) to be completed by the end of May 2023 (subject to market conditions) under the authorization given by the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 4, 2022, bringing the total 2022 buybacks announced so far to approximately 3.4 billion. The Significant Shareholder has decided not to participate in the program consistent with the position announced on February 25, 2022. The shares acquired under the program are intended to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations under debt obligations exchangeable into equity securities; to reduce ArcelorMittal’s share capital, and/or to meet ArcelorMittal’s obligations arising from employee share programs.

Treasury shares

ArcelorMittal held 31.2 million and 71.9 million treasury shares as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Votorantim put option liability

On March 30, 2022 Votorantim S.A. exercised the put option right it has under its shareholders’ agreement with the Company with respect to its 2.99% preferred share interest in ArcelorMittal Brasil following the acquisition of Votorantim S.A.'s long steel business in Brazil in 2018, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal Brasil. The exercise price is calculated pursuant to an agreed formula in the shareholders’ agreement which applies a 6 times multiple of ArcelorMittal Brasil Longs Business EBITDA in the four immediately preceding calendar quarters from the date of the put option exercise (subject to certain adjustments, such as the exclusion of any unusual, infrequent or abnormal events) less an assumed net debt of BRL 6.2 billion times 15%. The Company determined that it has a present ownership interest in the preferred shares subject to the put option and recognized a financial liability at amortized cost measured at the present value of the redemption amount. As of June 30, 2022, the Company calculated the put option exercise price in the amount of BRL 0.8 billion (0.2 billion)


Interim Financial Statements			53

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

but Votorantim S.A. has indicated that it does not agree with ArcelorMittal Brasil’s calculation of the exercise price. The definition of the final put option exercise price will be subject to

the procedure, whose estimated timing for resolution is currently unknown, as specified in the shareholders' agreement, with arbitration being the ultimate means.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAX

The tax expense for the period is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires management to make its best estimate of annual pre-tax income for the year.

The income tax expense was 1,381 and 946 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the six months ended June 20, 2021, was mainly

driven by the worldwide positive results partially offset by recognition of deferred tax assets.

NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Short-term bank loans and other credit facilities including commercial paper1	1,183	888
Current portion of long-term debt	1,373	836

Corporate

Main credit facility

On December 19, 2018, ArcelorMittal signed an agreement for a 5.5 billion revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). This Facility replaced the 5.5 billion revolving credit facility dated April 30, 2015, which was amended and extended on December 21, 2016. The agreement incorporated a single tranche of 5.5 billion maturing on December 19, 2023, with two one-year extension options (i.e. the options to extend are in the first and second years end of 2019 and end of 2020). During the fourth quarter of 2020, ArcelorMittal executed the second option to extend the facility to December 19, 2025 after having executed the first option in the fourth quarter 2019. The extension was completed for 5.4 billion of the available amount, with the 0.1 billion remaining with a maturity of December 19, 2023. On April 13, 2021 the revolving credit facility was amended so that the leverage ratio financial covenant will no longer be applicable in the event that the Company obtains an investment grade long-term credit rating (with a stable outlook) from two rating agencies. On April 27, 2021, the revolving credit facility was amended so that the margin payable increases or decreases depending on the Company’s performance against two metrics measured annually against pre-defined targets with respect to its environmental and sustainability performance (CO2 intensity of the Company’s European operations and the number of facilities which have been certified by ResponsibleSteel™). The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2022, the 5.5 billion revolving credit facility was fully available. The Company makes drawdowns from and repayments on this Facility in the framework of its cash management.

On September 30, 2010, ArcelorMittal entered into a 500 revolving multi-currency letter of credit facility (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). 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.

Other

Certain debt agreements of the Company or its subsidiaries contain certain restrictive covenants. Among other things, these covenants 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. Certain of these agreements also require compliance with a financial covenant.

The other loans relate to various debt with banks and public institutions.

Hedge of net investments

A portion of the Company's of euro denominated debt (€4,512 million as of June 30, 2022) is designated as a hedge of certain euro denominated investments (€9,934 million as of June 30, 2022) 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, 2022, the Company recognized 363 foreign exchange gains arising on the translation of the euro denominated debt designated as a hedge of the euro denominated net investments in foreign operations and as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income within the foreign exchange translation reserve.

NOTE 8 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, the price of raw materials, energy and emission rights allowances arising from operating, financing and investing activities.

As of June 30, 2022, the total amount of trade accounts receivables sold as true sales of receivables amounted to 6.0 billion (5.2 billion at December 31, 2021). In addition, the Company estimates that about 4.2 billion of trade payables were subject to early discount by its suppliers as of June 30, 2022 as compared to 2.7 billion as of December 31, 2021.

Fair value versus carrying amount

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments is determined using available market information or other valuation methodologies that require judgment in interpreting market data and developing estimates.

Assets at fair value:
Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI	1,069	—	77	1,146

Total liabilities at fair value	—	374	—	374

* The fair value of TSR program receivables equals carrying amount due to the short time frame between the initial recognition and time of sale.

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.

(in millions of U.S. dollar, except share and per share data)

Derivative financial assets classified as Level 3 correspond to the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds. The fair valuation of Level 3 derivative instruments is established at each reporting date including an analysis of changes in the fair value measurement since the last 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.

ArcelorMittal calculates the fair value of the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds through the use of binomial valuation models. Binomial valuation models use an iterative procedure to price options, allowing for the specification of nodes, or points in time, during the time span between the valuation date and the option’s expiration date. In contrast to the

Black-Scholes model, which provides a numerical result based on inputs, the binomial model allows for the calculation of the asset and the option for multiple periods along with the range of possible results for each period. Observable input data used in the valuations include zero coupon yield curves, stock market prices, European Central Bank foreign exchange fixing rates and Libor interest rates. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. Specifically, the Company computes unobservable volatility data based mainly on the movement of stock market prices observable in the active market over 90 working days.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the fair value of the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


			Call option on 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Reportable segments

The Company is organized in five operating and reportable segments, which are components engaged in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company), for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker “CODM” to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

NOTE 13 – 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, 2021.

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, 2021.

Tax claims

Brazil

In the period from 2014 to 2018, ArcelorMittal Brasil received six tax assessments from the Federal Revenue Service in the amount of 38 disputing its use of credits for PIS and COFINS social security taxes in 2010, 2011 and 2013. The dispute relates to the concept of production inputs in the context of these taxes. In the first case, the administrative tribunal of the first instance found partially in favor of ArcelorMittal Brasil. The decision was upheld in the administrative tribunal of the second instance and ArcelorMittal Brasil filed an appeal to the administrative tribunal of the third instance which ruled partially in favor of ArcelorMittal Brasil in May 2019. In January 2020, the case was sent back to the Federal Revenue to verify the extent of the administrative tribunal of the third instance’s decision in order to proceed with the write-off of amounts due. In August 2020, the tax assessment was reduced by 4, reflecting the partially favorable decision. In January 2022, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a lawsuit to dispute the remaining amount of 13, which is pending trial at first instance. In the second case, the administrative tribunal of the first instance found partially in favor of ArcelorMittal Brasil in December 2016 and an appeal has been filed to the administrative tribunal of the second instance. In the third case, the administrative tribunal of the first instance upheld the tax assessment in March 2017, and ArcelorMittal Brasil appealed to the administrative tribunal of the second instance. In the fourth and fifth cases, ArcelorMittal Brasil has filed its defenses to the administrative tribunal of the first instance. In November 2020, a partially favorable decision was issued in the fifth case and an appeal was presented. In the fourth case, in March 2021, a partially favorable decision was issued and an appeal has been filed to the second administrative instance. In the sixth case, the administrative tribunal of the first instance upheld the tax assessment in April 2017, and ArcelorMittal Brasil appealed to the administrative tribunal of the second instance. In March 2018, the Superior Court decided a leading case, not involving ArcelorMittal Brasil, that established that the restrictive concept of inputs adopted by the tax authorities is illegal and that credits over inputs must be accepted on the basis of the criteria of essentially or relevance towards the production process of each taxpayer. In September 2018, the Federal Union published an internal orientation for its attorneys, expressing a restrictive view of the Superior Court's decision and determining that each individual case would be analyzed in order to decide whether the items are essential or not. However, this federal orientation has not been followed in unrelated cases, and therefore ArcelorMittal Brasil's cases may be submitted for review by the Federal Union Attorney's office before further decisions are taken or may be taken to trial without such review. In June 2021, the Supreme Court decided a leading case, not involving ArcelorMittal Brasil, ensuring the taxpayers’ right to register the PIS/COFINS credits over scrap

acquisition. This binding precedent is important because it strengthens ArcelorMittal’s defenses in the six cases in which part of the contingency is related to scrap acquisition. ArcelorMittal Brasil also filed in February 2011 a claimant individual lawsuit on the PIS/COFINS credits over scrap acquisition matter, in which a favorable and unappealable decision was issued in May 2022. Accordingly and as a result of this legal clarification, ArcelorMittal recorded PIS/COFINs tax credits in operating income in the amount of 240 with respect to prior periods.

Ukraine

In August 2021, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih commenced court proceedings to dispute the assessment by Ukrainian tax authorities of a subsoil usage rent/tax (in the amount of approximately 96) on production activities by ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih for the period from January 2015 to March 2019. In November 2021, the court found that the tax notice decision was illegal and cancelled it. The Ukrainian tax authorities and the Prosecutor’s office appealed this decision. Subsequently, (a) on November 17, 2021, the Prosecutor General’s office and the Security Service of Ukraine notified the Chief Financial Officer of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih that he had been placed under an investigation on suspicion of alleged tax evasion and official forgery, and (b) on January 4, 2022 the Prosecutor General’s office, acting pursuant to a ruling of the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv dated November 30, 2021 blocked the accounts of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih with three banks in Ukraine. ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih promptly appealed the blocking of these accounts and the restrictions on two of the three accounts were by court order partially lifted to allow the payment of wages, taxes and other mandatory payments. In March 2022, the Prosecutor General closed the criminal proceedings and as a result the remaining restrictions were lifted. In June 2022, the Court of Appeal decided that the tax notice decision was illegal and confirmed its cancellation. In July 2022, the tax authorities filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.

Other Legal claims

In April 2017, a shareholder in Siderúrgica Três Lagoas (“SITREL”) (of which ArcelorMittal Brasil is the other shareholder), commenced an arbitration against Votorantim Siderurgia S.A. (which subsequently merged into ArcelorMittal Brasil) and SITREL with the Center for Arbitration and Mediation of the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada (CAM-CCBC). The dispute concerns a provision in SITREL’s joint venture agreement relating to the formula used to determine the selling price for steel billets supplied by ArcelorMittal Brasil to SITREL from January 2013 onwards. The shareholder has alleged that the steel billets were overpriced and is seeking compensation for overpaid amounts on both a retrospective and prospective basis, with the initial amount claimed totaling 32. In October 2021, the CAM-CCBC decided against ArcelorMittal Brasil. In

November 2021, ArcelorMittal Brasil filed a motion for clarification and disqualification request to the CAM-CCBC in relation to a conflict of interest concerning the other party's appointed arbitrator. The CAM-CBCC issued a stay on the clarification request, pending resolution on the disqualification challenge. In December 2021, an Independent Arbitrators Committee was formed to decide on the disqualification claim, which it rejected in March 2022. In April 2022, a final arbitral award was issued, which has been satisfied by ArcelorMittal Brasil. Given ArcelorMittal Brasil’s ownership interest in SITREL, the financial impact for ArcelorMittal is a net loss after tax of approximately 126 (67 net of partial recovery through dividend payment from SITREL).
