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, as well as statements regarding ArcelorMittal's plans, intentions, aims, ambitions and expectations, including with respect to ArcelorMittal's carbon emissions. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "target", "accelerate", "ambition", "estimate", "likely", "may", "outlook", "plan", "strategy", "will" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact. 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. In particular, ArcelorMittal's carbon emissions targets are based on current assumptions with respect to the costs of implementing its targets (including the costs of green hydrogen and their evolution over time), government and societal support for the reduction of carbon emissions in particular regions and the advancement of technology and infrastructure related to the reduction of carbon emissions over time, which may not correspond in the future to ArcelorMittal's current assumptions. For example, the Company could face significant financial impacts in Europe if it is unable to make the necessary investments to decarbonise and reach its 35% target by 2030 due to the design of European policy. ArcelorMittal undertakes no obligation to publicly update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

We begin our presentation with an overview of the highlights and achievements of 3Q'21.

ArcelorMittal has recorded its best quarter and strongest nine‐month financial performance since 2008.

EBITDA increased by 20% in the quarter to its highest level since 2008. Further strong performance from our equity accounted interests contributed to a net result of $4.6bn, which is the second highest quarter in the Company's history.

After a decline in the 3Q'21, shipments are expected to improve in 4Q'21 which should support a working capital release and an acceleration of free cash flow from the $1.6bn delivered in 3Q'21.

Since September last year, the Company has repurchased 13% of the shares outstanding. Based on the strong 3Q'21 cashflow, an additional $1.0bn has been added to the share buyback, which will further reduce the share count and create sustainable value for our shareholders.

Beyond the robust financial performance, the Company continues to make great strides on its decarbonization journey. During the quarter, the Company announced a series of new projects in Belgium and Canada with encouraging levels of government support.

Consistent with our strategy to grow the EBITDA and FCF potential of ArcelorMittal, further brownfield projects have been approved, leveraging the market leading position in Brazil long business and providing valuable security of raw material supply to our operations in Mexico. Adding these projects means that our strategic envelope of investments is expected to add $0.95bn to normalized group EBITDA.

  • H&S performance has deteriorated in 2021
  • Lack of in-person training during COVID-19 restrictions identified as a root cause
  • Full attention of Board, ARCGS and senior management to resolve
  • Prompting a major internal response redoubling of efforts to rigorously implement the Company's tools and training programs
  • Particular focus on learnings from the successes of our best performing units that represent industry safety benchmarks
  • Increased H&S focus in performance evaluation
  • The short term incentives link to H&S performance has been strengthened

  • LTIF = Lost time injury frequency defined as Lost Time Injuries per 1.000.000 worked hours; based on own personnel and contractors; A Lost Time Injury (LTI) is an incident that causes an injury that prevents the person from returning to his/her next scheduled shift or work period. Figures presented for LTIF rates exclude ArcelorMittal Italia in its entirety and from 2021 onwards exclude ArcelorMittal USA following its disposal in December 2020. (Prior period figures have not been recast for the ArcelorMittal USA disposal).

Improving the group's safety performance is of the highest priority. We have this year intensified all of our efforts, rigorously applying our safety tools and accelerating in‐person training. The Company will be analyzing what further interventions can be introduced to ensure we eliminate all fatalities.

These undertakings are being reinforced through an increased focus on safety in employee performance evaluations, as well as an increase link to the short term incentive plan for the leadership team.

Leadership on decarbonization: targets

ArcelorMittal has adopted an ambitious set of carbon targets* that will lead our sector in reaching net-zero by 2050

Page 5

* Group target of a 25% reduction in CO2e emissions intensity (per tonne crude steel) by 2030. Europe target increased to 35% (from 30%) reduction in CO2e emissions intensity (per tonne crude steel) by

2030. Targets refer to scopes 1+2 CO2e emissions, steel + mining.

Moving to the very topical and significant issue of decarbonization, ArcelorMittal is demonstrating its innovation, commitment and progress in a number of ways.

Having laid down our 2030 milestones in our second Climate Action report in July 2021 - with a group target of 25% reduction in carbon emissions intensity and an acceleration of our European target to 35% ‐ both by 2030 - ArcelorMittal is continuing to play a clear leadership role, making a series of decarbonization commitments as we secure the necessary support from governments.
