Quarterly EBITDA Improves by $54.4 million
Year-over-Year to $33.6 million

BEIJING – August 14, 2014 –
General Steel Holdings, Inc. (“General Steel” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GSI), a leading non-state-controlled
steel producer in China, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Henry Yu, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of General Steel commented, “We are very proud that our turn-around efforts are now driving measurable improvements
to our financials, as gross margin expanded to a 36-month high and EBITDA substantially improved to a positive $33.6 million. These
highlights reflect the success we have had over the past year in lowering our unit production cost and enhancing our operating
efficiencies.”
“During the second quarter, industry
fundamentals significantly improved, and we were able to hold firm on our pricing. We are seeing a better demand-and-supply balance,
and it is increasingly more evident that the market dynamics and competitive landscape will substantially improve in the coming
months.” Mr. Yu concluded.
John Chen, Chief Financial Officer of General
Steel, commented, “This quarter we saw contributions to profitability from our two major initiatives. Our sourcing strategy
lowered our raw material costs and, our upgraded production lines and technical improvements lowered our unit costs. We also turned
around our operating cash flows to an inflow of $56.1 million, providing us with greater operating flexibility for the quarters
ahead. Given our solid execution and the improved market fundamentals, we anticipate additional margin expansion and are confident
that we will deliver on our target EPS range of 8 to 12 cents for the second half of 2014.”

decreased by 10.0% year-over-year to $588.0 million, compared with $653.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. The year-over-year

Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the second quarter of 2014 were $18.8 million, a decrease of 9.6% from $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. Driven

slighted increased from $9.3 million in the same period of 2013. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to the increase
