· As anticipated, net debt7 increased from $16.2 billion as of June 30, 2013 to $17.8 billion as of September 30, 2013, largely driven by investment in operating working capital ($0.8 billion) and dividends paid ($0.4 billion)

· Net interest expense reduced by $62 million (13%) in 3Q 2013 as compared to 2Q 2013 primarily due to lower gross debt

· The ramp-up of expanded capacity at AMMC remains on track to achieve a run-rate of 24 Mt by year-end 2013

Key strategic developments:

· Resolution of long-term Kumba dispute: Sishen iron ore supply agreement secured on cost-plus terms

· Investment plan to double capacity at ArcelorMittal Annaba following stake dilution to 49% (from 70%)7

· Selective steel capital expenditure projects restarted to support development of franchise businesses

Outlook and guidance:

· In line with our guidance framework, underlying profitability is still expected to improve in 2013, driven by three factors: a) a 1-2% increase in steel shipments; b) an approximate 20% increase in marketable iron ore shipments; and c) the benefits realized from Asset Optimization and Management Gains initiatives

· The Company still expects 2013 EBITDA to be greater than $6.5 billion

· Due to improved operating cash flows and proceeds from already announced disposals8, net debt is expected to decrease in 4Q 2013 to approximately $17 billion; the $15 billion medium term net debt target is unchanged

· 2013 capital expenditure is still expected to be approximately $3.7 billion
