Monlevade expansion project in Brazil restarted:
• Phase 1 (approved) focuses on downstream facilities and
consists of:
– a new wire rod mill in Monlevade with additional capacity of
1,050ktpy of coils with capital expenditure of $280m;
– Juiz de Fora rebar capacity increase from 50 to 400ktpy
(replacing some wire rod production capacity) and meltshop
capacity increase by 200ktpy
• Expected completion in 2015
• A decision whether to invest in Phase 2 of the project, focusing on
the upstream facilities in Monlevade (sinter plant, blast furnace
and meltshop), will be taken at a later date
17 17
Selective steel projects: Monlevade (Brazil segment)
Expansion supported by strong market for long products in Brazil
Installation area of the rolling mill # 3 Hangar of the rolling mill # 3
New rolling mill at Acindar (Argentina)
• New rolling mill (Huatian) in Santa Fe
province to increase capacity by
0.4mt/year of rebars from 6 to 32mm for
civil construction:
– New rolling mill will also enable
Acindar to optimize production at its
special bar quality (SBQ) rolling mill in
Villa Constitución, which in future will
only manufacture products for the
automotive and mining industries
• Estimated capital expenditure of ~$100
million
• Expected completion in 2016

Selective steel projects: Acindar (Brazil segment)
Expansion supported by strong construction market in Argentina and exports
Selective steel projects: Dofasco (NAFTA)
• Optimize cost and increase shipment of
galvanized products by 0.3mt / year
– Restart construction of heavy gauge
galvanizing line #6 (capacity 660ktpy)
and closure of line #2 (capacity
400ktpy) increased shipments of
galvanized sheet by 260ktpy, along with
improved mix and optimized cost
– Line #6 will incorporate AHSS capability
and is the key element in a broader
program to improve Dofasco’s ability to
serve customers in the automotive,
construction, and industrial markets
• Expected completion in 2015
19 19
Expansion supported by strong market for galvanized products
Selective steel projects: VAMA-JV with Hunan Valin
• VAMA: JV between ArcelorMittal and
Hunan Valin which will produce steel for
high-end applications in the automobile
industry, supplying international
automakers and first-tier Chinese car
manufacturers as well as their supplier
networks for rapidly growing Chinese
market
• Construction of automotive facility, the main
components which are:
– State of the art pickling tandem CRM
(1.5mt)
– Continuous annealing line (0.9mt), and
– Hot dip galvanizing line (0.5mt)
• Estimated capital expenditure of ~$850
million (100% basis)
• First coil to be produced in 2H 2014

• Global PMI indicates continuing strengthening in developed manufacturing
• Despite severe weather impacting US Jan production, manufacturing still up 2.2% in 1Q’14. Apr PMI remained >50 near recent highs
• Eurozone PMI, especially Germany, has continued to strengthen to its highest level since 1H’11. Czech Republic, Poland and UK PMIs remain strong
• In Eu28, manufacturing output has grown over the last year, now up 3.7% y-o-y
• Chinese industrial output growth has weakened to 8.7% y-o-y in 1Q’14; still supported by robust albeit slowing auto demand growth
Global indicators remain positive
Source: *Markit. ArcelorMittal estimates
Global indicators signal continued growth in developed markets in 2Q’14
US construction growth continues;
Europe improving • USA non-residential stable in 1Q’14
– Non residential output stable in early 2014, impacted by severe weather, however, output up 6% yoy compared to weak 1Q’13. Despite the Architectural Billings index (ABI) falling back below 50, we expect a gradual pick up through 2014 and into 2015
– US residential construction growth slowing to a more sustainable pace, as new home sales weaken due to higher prices
• European construction outlook gradually improving
– Eurozone construction PMI weakened to 46.2 in March, despite continued strength in German and in particular UK
– However construction output in EU28 is up >5% (Jan/Feb yoy), supported by mild weather and weak yoy comparatives
– Overall we expect output in 2014 to be higher than 2013, led by growth in Germany, Poland and the UK. Construction in Southern Europe remains weak despite a pick up from low levels in Spain.

Chinese industrial growth stable
• Industrial output growth slowed in 1Q’14 up
8.7% y-o-y, from 10% in 4Q’13
• Infrastructure investment continues to grow up
almost 20% y-o-y in 1Q’14, defying expectations
to slow. Outlook supported by recent
government measures.
• Weakening residential transactions and prices
and lack of available credit has caused housing
starts to decline sharply, down over 25% y-o-y
in 1Q’14. Housing starts were expected to
weaken but has happened more quickly than
anticipated.
• Flat products demand continues to be
supported by relatively strong growth in auto
production, up over 9% y-o-y in 1Q’14.
• Steel production has continued to grow in 1Q’14
(824mt annualized), up from 760mt in 4Q’14
helped by seasonality and rising exports.
• Inventories at warehouses declined by 3.5mt
during Mar/Apr’14 as is seasonal and driven by
lack of finance but inventory at mills remain up
y-o-y.
