Forward-looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements with respect to market conditions, operating costs, shipments and prices. Factors that could affect market conditions, costs, shipments and prices for both North American and European operations include: (a) foreign currency fluctuations and related activities; (b) global product demand, prices and mix; (c) global and company steel production levels; (d) plant operating performance; (e) natural gas, electricity, raw materials and transportation prices, usage and availability; (f) international trade developments, including court decisions, legislation and agency decisions on petitions and sunset reviews; (g) the impact of fixed prices in energy and raw materials contracts (many of which have terms of one year or longer) as compared to short-term contract and spot prices of steel products; (h) changes in environmental, tax, pension and other laws; (i) the terms of collective bargaining agreements; (j) employee strikes or other labor issues; and (k) U.S. and global economic performance and political developments. Domestic steel shipments and prices could be affected by import levels and actions taken by the U.S. Government and its agencies, including those related to CO2 emissions, climate change and shale gas development. Economic conditions and political factors in Europe and Canada that may affect U. S. Steel Europes and U. S. Steel Canadas results include, but are not limited to: (l) taxation; (m) nationalization; (n) inflation; (o) fiscal instability; (p) political issues; (q) regulatory actions; and (r) quotas, tariffs, and other protectionist measures. We present adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, which are non-GAAP measures, as an additional measurement to enhance the understanding of our operating performance and facilitate a comparison with that of our competitors. In accordance with safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, cautionary statements identifying important factors, but not necessarily all factors, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements have been included in U. S. Steels Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in subsequent filings for U. S. Steel.

U. S. Steel Europe Segment

Major industry summary

1Q14 EU production is estimated to grow by 7% versus 4Q13. Total EU 2014 car production is forecasted to stay flat at roughly 15.6 mill. units. For 1Q14, production growth in V4 will be 3 % q-o-q, quarterly growth impacted mostly by Mercedes Hungary, GM Poland, PSA Slovakia. EU sales in 1Q14 are expected to increase by 10% q-o-q , while 2014 expectations show 3% growth y-o-y. In 1Q14, EU appliance production is projected to decrease by 5.4% q-o-q and to increase 2.5% y-o-y. Prospects for the EU electric domestic appliances market in 2014 are for the continuation of the mildly rising trend in demand and production (3% y-o-y). Positive demand trends are expected in Germany, the UK and the Nordic region resulting from the rebound in residential construction. Growth in Central Europe will continue to outperform average EU growth. Tin consumption in 2013 based on October numbers is anticipated to increase by 3.3 % y-o-y. In 1Q14, Tin consumption is projected to increase by 7.7 % q-o-q, as usual after the weakest quarter during a year. Demand in Q1 is expected to be at the same level as the previous year ( 900 kMT). Inventory of empty cans still above average. The outlook for 2014 is for a slow and cautious recovery of the EU construction market. The pick-up in construction output will largely be driven by the residential sector and renovation and modernization work. In 1Q14, activity in the sector is expected to increase by 2.3% y-o-y. EU construction output is forecasted to rise almost 1.5% in 2014. The forecast for 1Q14 shows that inventory in the distribution chain will remain well-balanced with downstream sales activity; ex-stocks sales are forecasted to improve in most countries. 2Q14 flat product inventory is forecasted to be normal and in-line with the expected activity of ex-stocks sales. Sales activity is forecasted to maintain at least the improved levels reached in Q1 or register some further improvement.
