Safety and sustainable development
Health and safety:
Protecting employee health and safety is a core Company value. The multi-year safety transformation continues to deliver measurable improvements, with an LTIF rate of 0.53x in 1H 2026 vs 0.66x in 1H 2025.
In 2026, the safety transformation program progressed into its implementation and scale-up phase, focused on embedding execution discipline and delivering consistent, high-quality safety performance across all regions. During 1H 2026, more than 8,000 leaders were assessed against the updated Health and Safety Competency Model, supporting a consistent One ArcelorMittal safety culture globally.

Sustainable development highlights:
- Sustainable solutions: Continuing to build exposure to attractive low-carbon infrastructure growth markets. In
June 2026 , ArcelorMittal Building Solutions announced plans to construct a new manufacturing facility inthe United States . Together with recent investments inIndia andBrazil , the facility will further strengthen ArcelorMittal’s global presence in insulated panels for more energy-efficient buildings. These investments are expected to contribute approximately$0.1bn of incremental EBITDA by 2031 once fully ramped up. - Electrification is a structural growth driver for steel: Investments in electrification (wind power, solar power and grid expansion) currently targeted by various government policies could require 240–290Mt of steel ex-
China through to 2035. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to capture growth through its portfolio of high-value add, high-margin products serving solar, wind, electrical steel and also transmission infrastructure markets.

International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union. The interim financial information included in this announcement has also been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim periods, however this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The numbers in this press release have not been audited. The financial information and certain other information presented in a number of tables in this press release have been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column. In addition, certain percentages presented in the tables in this press release reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers. Segment information presented in this press release is prior to inter-segment eliminations and certain adjustments made to operating results of the segments to reflect corporate costs, income from non-steel operations (e.g. logistics and shipping services) and the elimination of stock margins between the segments. - Impairment charges of
$194 million in 2Q 2025 related to announced divestment of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business inBosnia . - Exceptional gains of
$1,162 million in 2Q 2025 includes a$1,742 million gain from acquiring Nippon Steel’s 50% stake inAM/NS Calvert (North America segment), partially offset mainly by final settlement of the purchase price ofVotorantim's long business inBrazil ($0.4 billion ). One-off tax charges for$0.2 billion relate to the reversal of a deferred tax asset and corresponding deferred tax expense which was partly offset by the positive tax impact relating to theVotorantim settlement (both of which are considered exceptional items for the calculation of adjusted net income). - See Appendix 4 for the reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share; see appendix 3 for the reconciliation of gross debt to net debt.
September 2020 was the inception date of the ongoing share buyback programs. Following the completion of the first 10 million share buyback tranche during 2Q 2026, the Company launched a new tranche of share buy back up to 10 million shares.- The estimate of potential additional contribution to EBITDA is based on assumptions once ramped up to full capacity and assuming prices/spreads generally in line with the averages of 2015-2020. Other projects under development include two potential high-return investments in
Brazil to expand higher-value steel capabilities i) the construction of a new high added value finishing line (cold rolling mill) and a continuous coating line at Tubarão facility, and ii) at ArcelorMittal Pecém which announced the approval of the first phase of a strategic project aimed at the developing of a new hot rolled coil production line at the site. We are advancing studies for a potential second 1.5Mt EAF at Calvert, which would expand domestic steelmaking capability at our world-class facility, enhance melt-and-pour capacity, and strengthen participation in the US steel market. The project would leverage existing infrastructure, established customer relationships and downstream assets, supporting attractive capital efficiency and value-added growth opportunities. Future growth optionality inIndia remains significant, with the announced 8.2MtpaAndhra Pradesh greenfield project (assuming timely receipt of remaining regulatory approvals, including securing a long-term iron ore supply agreement with NMDC) and the potential expansion of Hazira to 24Mtpa (from 15Mtpa following completion of the current expansion) with detailed engineering underway, supporting a long-term pathway towards 40Mt of steelmaking capacity. - Liquidity at the end of
June 30, 2026 , of$10.4 billion consisted of cash and cash equivalents of$4.9 billion (including cash and cash equivalents held as part of assets held for sale) and$5.5 billion of available credit lines. OnApril 13, 2026 , ArcelorMittal extended its$5.5 billion revolving credit facility. The maturity was extended by one year toMay 29, 2031 . - As of
June 30, 2026 , assets and liabilities held for sale are related to the ongoing disposal of a downstream long wire rod business in theBrazil segment. As ofDecember 31, 2025 , assets and liabilities held for sale related to the announced divestment of Tubular subsidiary. - The acquisition of Votorantim’s long steel business in
Brazil in 2018 significantly strengthened ArcelorMittal’s market position, adding approximately 2Mt of annual production capacity, increasing market share, and unlocking cost efficiencies alongside substantial operational, logistics, and procurement synergies. As part of the original deal structure,Votorantim and ArcelorMittal retained certain put and call option rights. InMarch 2022 ,Votorantim exercised its put option, resulting in a valuation dispute that proceeded to arbitration inBrazil . Following hearings inOctober 2024 , the parties reached a settlement inJune 2025 , under whichArcelorMittal Brasil will pay approximately$546 million over three years. Net of amounts previously provisioned, ArcelorMittal recorded a net amount of$0.4 billion in 2Q 2025 as an exceptional item. The first instalment of$0.2 billion was paid in 3Q 2025, and second paid in 2Q 2026, with 2 further annual payments of$0.1 billion due in 2027 and 2028. - In 1Q 2026, the existing Mineral Development Agreement (MDA) was extended to 2050, with a right to renew for a further 25 years. Under the terms of the agreement, ArcelorMittal paid
$200 million to the Government ofLiberia for certain rights it acquires per the agreement, namely the mining rights extension and reserved access to railroad capacity the Company is investing in (infrastructure is being expanded so it can transport up to 30Mt of iron ore annually). The Company is undertaking feasibility studies to increase iron ore production capacity beyond the 20Mtpa phase 2 currently in ramp-up.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking information and statements about ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe”, "will", “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, "projected", "potential", "intend" or similar expressions. Although ArcelorMittal’s management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of ArcelorMittal’s securities are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of ArcelorMittal, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified in the filings with the Luxembourg Stock Market Authority for the Financial Markets (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) made or to be made by ArcelorMittal, including ArcelorMittal’s latest Annual Report on Form 20-F on file with the SEC. ArcelorMittal undertakes no obligation to publicly update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP/Alternative Performance Measures
This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures. ArcelorMittal presents EBITDA, EBITDA/tonne, free cash flow (FCF), adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share which are non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures, as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its operating performance. The definition of EBITDA includes income from share of associates, JVs and other investments (excluding impairments and exceptional items if any, of associates, JVs and other investments) because the Company believes this information provides investors with additional information to understand its results, given the increasing significance of its joint ventures. ArcelorMittal believes such indicators are relevant to provide management and investors with additional information. ArcelorMittal also presents net debt, liquidity and change in working capital as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its financial position, changes to its capital structure and its credit assessment. Investable cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex, and the Company thus believes that it represents a cash flow that is available for allocation at management’s discretion. The Company’s guidance as to free cash flow, EBITDA from Sustainable Solutions segment and additional EBITDA estimated to be generated from certain projects is based on the same accounting policies as those applied in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. ArcelorMittal is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, such guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of items impacting comparability. For the same reasons, ArcelorMittal is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information. Non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with, and not as an alternative to, ArcelorMittal's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Comparable IFRS measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures are presented herein.
