3Q 2025 key highlights:

Safety focus: Protecting employee health and safety is a core value of the Company. LTIF rate of 0.76x in 3Q 2025. In the first year of our three-year safety transformation program, the whole Company is working to build strong foundations for ‘one safety culture’ across the Group

Resilient operating results at the bottom of the cycle: 3Q 2025 EBITDA of $1.5bn, with a margin of $111/tonne continuing to show improvement vs. prior cycles reflecting the benefits of (i) asset optimization, (ii) regional and end market diversification, and (iii) strategic growth investments (including another record quarterly iron ore production and shipments from Liberia). Net income of $0.4bn in 3Q 2025 (EPS of $0.50/sh). Adjusted net income of $0.5bn (adjusted EPS of $0.62/sh) in 3Q 20254

Financial strength maintained: Net debt increased to $9.1bn at the end of the quarter (gross debt of $14.9bn and cash and cash equivalents of $5.7bn as of September 30, 2025) from $8.3bn as of June 30, 2025 due largely to working capital investment ($0.4bn) and M&A investing activities ($0.3bn)9. Following the normal seasonal pattern, the 9M'25 investment in working capital of $1.9bn is expected to unwind in 4Q 2025, supporting a strong free cash flow outlook. Liquidity remains at a robust $11.2bn7

Cash flow being reinvested for growth: Over the past 12 months, the Company has generated investable cash flow6 (net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex) of $1.5bn. Over the same period, the Company has invested $1.2bn in strategic capex projects to enhance long-term EBITDA capacity, returned $0.8bn to shareholders via dividends/buybacks, and deployed $0.2bn to M&A

Outlook

Encouraging EU trade policy momentum to restore fair competition: The European Commission  presented on October 7, 2025, a new trade tool for the steel sector to restore the industry to healthy capacity utilization. Together with an effective Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) this can provide the foundation for our European business to earn its cost of capital

Positive on medium/long term outlook: Through its global asset portfolio, ArcelorMittal is uniquely positioned to capture the anticipated growth in steel demand over the medium/long-term; including the steel required for the transition to new energy and mobility systems, infrastructure development and modernization, and defense

Organic growth: The Group's strong financial position (positive FCF outlook for 2025 and beyond) enables the consistent funding of organic growth projects to support future profitability and investable cash flow. The Group‘s high return strategic growth projects, together with the impact of recent M&A, are expected to increase future EBITDA potential by $2.1bn6 including $0.7bn and $0.8bn targeted in 2025 and 2026, respectively

Consistent shareholder returns: In addition to its base dividend ($0.55/sh, paid in 2 equal instalments), the Company will continue to return a minimum of 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow to shareholders. Since September 20205, the Company has used buybacks to reduce its fully diluted shares outstanding by 38%10. So far in 2025, the Company has repurchased 8.8m shares at a total cost of $262m. The Company plans to cancel the majority of the 92.3m shares currently held in treasury before year-end

Financial highlights (on the basis of IFRS 1):

Commenting, Aditya Mittal, ArcelorMittal Chief Executive Officer, said:

“It is a year since we embarked on our three-year safety transformation program. There is strong engagement across the Group that is reflected in visible progress on a number of key performance indicators. I am conscious we have more to do, and all businesses are fully aware of the imperative of continuing to implement their bespoke safety roadmaps.

Turning to financial performance, the Company reported resilient results in what is typically a seasonally weak quarter. The underlying strength of the business is again evident in the structurally higher margins delivered over the first nine months of the year.

Perhaps the most significant development during the quarter was the European Commission’s proposal of strengthened trade measures. Once enacted, this will support the European steel industry’s ability to improve capacity utilization, improve profitability, and invest with confidence for the future. We now hope for swift approval and implementation of the proposal, as well as supportive revisions to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

Supported by a strong balance sheet, we continue to evolve the business towards higher return on capital, focusing strategic capex on low-cost, added-value markets and exiting higher-cost businesses. The energy transition also represents an attractive opportunity for ArcelorMittal – and we recently launched a revolutionary, low-carbon, all-in-one insulated steel roof integrating solar cells.

While markets are challenging and tariff-related headwinds persist, we are seeing signs of stabilization and are optimistic on the outlook for our business in 2026, when we will benefit from more supportive industry policies in key markets.”

Footnotes

  1. The financial information in this press release has been prepared consistently with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the 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.
  2. Impairment charges of $194 million in 2Q 2025 related to announced divestment of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia.
  3. Exceptional charges in 3Q 2025 of $97 million relate to purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition of Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in AM/NS Calvert. Exceptional gains of $1,162 million in 2Q 2025 included a $1,742 million gain related to the acquisition of Nippon Steel’s 50% stake in ArcelorMittal Calvert (North America segment), partially offset by settlement of the dispute related to the purchase price of Votorantim's long business in Brazil ($0.4 billion). One-off tax charges for $0.2 billion in 2Q 2025 related to the reversal of a deferred tax asset and corresponding deferred tax expense, which was partly offset by the positive tax impact related to the Votorantim settlement (both of which were considered exceptional items for the calculation of adjusted net income for 2Q 2025).
  4. See Appendix 4 for the reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share.
  5. September 2020 was the inception date of the ongoing share buyback programs. Under the new 10 million share buyback program launched in April 2025, the Company has repurchased 2 million shares (20%) up to 3Q 2025 of the tranche.
  6. 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; the estimate of potential additional contribution to EBITDA in 2025 is based on current conditions and for 2026 and beyond on normalized conditions. Other projects under development include the construction of a new high added value finishing line (cold rolling mill) and a continuous coating line at Tubarão facility. The project is undergoing internal approvals, and ArcelorMittal Brasil is currently moving forward with detailed engineering (full feasibility study). As of September 30, 2025, last twelve months investable cash flow of $1.5 billion consisting of cash flow from operations of $4.3 billion less normative/maintenance capex of $2.7 billion. As of September 30, 2025, last twelve month capex of $4.2 billion included strategic capex of $1.2 billion and decarbonization capex of $0.3 billion.
  7. Liquidity at the end of September 30, 2025, of $11.2 billion consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 billion (including cash and cash equivalents held as part of assets held for sale) and $5.5 billion of available credit lines. On April 30, 2025, the facility agent confirmed that all Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) lenders have agreed to our one-year extension request dated February 2, 2025. Consequently, the maturity of the ArcelorMittal $5.5 billion RCF is extended by one year to May 29, 2030.
  8. Assets and liabilities held for sale are related to the announced divestment of Zenica integrated steel plant and Prijedor iron ore mining business in Bosnia (Europe) and Tubular subsidiaries.
  9. The acquisition of Votorantim’s long steel business in Brazil in 2018 significantly strengthened ArcelorMittal’s market position, adding approximately 2 million tonnes 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. In March 2022, Votorantim exercised its put option, resulting in a valuation dispute that proceeded to arbitration in Brazil. Following hearings in October 2024, the parties reached a settlement in June 2025, under which ArcelorMittal 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, with 3 further annual payments of $0.1 billion due.
  10. In accordance with its capital return policy, the Company expects to pay a base annual dividend (to be progressively increased over time). In addition, a minimum of 50% of the amount of free cash flow (calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangibles ("capital expenditures") less dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders) remaining after paying the base annual dividend is allocated to a share buyback program. Should the ratio of net debt to EBITDA be greater than 1.5x then the share buyback will not be made.

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”, “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 and 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 cashflow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex, and the Company thus believes that it represents a cashflow that is available for allocation at management’s discretion. The Company’s guidance as to free cash flow for 2025 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.
