NEWS RELEASE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

United States Steel Corporation Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

•First quarter 2024 net earnings of $171 million, or $0.68 per diluted share.
•First quarter 2024 adjusted net earnings of $206 million, or $0.82 per diluted share. Includes an approximately $0.04 per diluted share unfavorable inventory impact versus our March 18 adjusted net earnings per diluted share guidance of between $0.80 and $0.84 per diluted share.
•First quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $414 million. Includes an approximately $10 million unfavorable inventory impact versus our March 18 adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately $425 million.

PITTSBURGH, May 2, 2024 – United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) reported first quarter 2024 net earnings of $171 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings was $206 million, or $0.82 per diluted share. This compares to first quarter 2023 net earnings of $199 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings for the first quarter 2023 was $195 million, or $0.77 per diluted share.
Commenting on the Company’s first quarter performance, U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer, David B. Burritt said, “We delivered a solid first quarter while maintaining an unwavering focus on safety as we progress towards the close of our pending transaction with Nippon Steel Corporation. First quarter adjusted EBITDA of $414 million reflects the benefits of a diverse order book and efficiently run operations in the midst of changing market conditions, partly offset by an unfavorable inventory impact in our North American Flat-Rolled segment. Both our North American Flat-Rolled and Mini Mill segments generated sizeable sequential increases in EBITDA, capturing higher steel prices and optimizing product mix for improved profitability. Our European segment successfully navigated a dynamic steel market backdrop to deliver better than expected performance. Meanwhile, our Tubular segment continued to deliver historically strong performance despite a softer market environment.”



©2024 U. S. Steel. All Rights Reserved www.ussteel.com United States Steel Corporation “We expect an even stronger second quarter, with adjusted EBITDA in the range of $425 million to $475 million, as typical first quarter seasonal mining headwinds abate,” continued Burritt.


News Release

“This should drive sequentially stronger EBITDA for our Flat-Rolled segment, while our Mini Mill segment is expected to be negatively impacted by lower average selling prices. Our U. S. Steel Europe segment results are expected to remain challenged, reflecting mounting commercial headwinds. As a result, we extended a planned outage on blast furnace #2 to balance our production with demand. We expect results in our Tubular segment to moderate as selling prices decline.”
Commenting on the Company’s strategic initiatives, Burritt concluded, “We continue to move closer to the completion of our in-flight capital projects and the incremental earnings and resilient cash flow they are expected to generate. We recently commissioned our new dual Galvalume® / Galvanized coating line at Big River Steel. This state-of-the-art finishing line will enhance our product mix while meeting the demand of customers. Meanwhile, we’re another quarter closer to the start-up of Big River 2, our new mini mill in Osceola, Arkansas. Big River 2 remains on-track for start-up in the second half of 2024. I invite you to review the progress being made on Big River 2, which is showcased in our investor presentation posted on our Investor Relations webpage.”

Transaction Update
The Company continues to progress towards closing the transaction with Nippon Steel Corporation. Last month, U. S. Steel stockholders approved the merger with ~99% approval of shares voted, satisfying a significant condition to closing. The Company and Nippon Steel Corporation each received, and are working to respond to, a request for additional information and documentary materials (commonly referred to as a “second request”) from the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with antitrust review of the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act").
The Company currently expects that the merger will be completed in the second half of 2024, subject to the fulfillment of the remaining, customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and receipt of other required regulatory approvals.

News Release
We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures, as additional measurements to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, considered along with net earnings, is a relevant indicator of trends relating to our operating performance and provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of items that include: restructuring and other charges, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges, VEBA asset surplus adjustment, environmental remediation charges, strategic alternatives review process costs, Granite City idling costs, tax impact of adjusted items and other charges, net (Adjustment Items). Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are also non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of certain Adjustment Items. We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to enhance the understanding of our ongoing operating performance and established trends affecting our core operations by excluding the effects of events that can obscure underlying trends. U. S. Steel's management considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin as alternative measures of operating performance and not alternative measures of the Company's liquidity. U. S. Steel’s management considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin useful to investors by facilitating a comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of our competitors. Additionally, the presentation of adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin provides insight into management’s view and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operating performance because management does not consider the Adjustment Items when evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered a substitute for net earnings, earnings per diluted share or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We also present free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure of cash generated from operations after any investing activity and investable free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure of cash generated from operations after any investing activity adjusted for strategic capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow and investable free cash flow provide further insight into the Company's overall utilization of cash. A condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited), condensed consolidated cash flow statement (unaudited), condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) and preliminary supplemental statistics (unaudited) for U. S. Steel are attached.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains information regarding the Company that may constitute “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. Generally, we have identified such forward-looking statements by using the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “aim,” “should,” “plan,” “goal,” “future,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, statements expressing general views about future operating or financial results, operating or financial performance, trends, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, anticipated cost savings, potential capital and operational cash improvements and changes in the global economic environment, the construction or operation of new or existing facilities or capabilities, statements regarding our greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, as well as statements regarding the proposed transaction, including the timing of the completion of the transaction. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, but instead represent only the Company’s beliefs regarding future goals, plans and expectations about our prospects for the future and other events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control.

3 EXPLANATION OF USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings margin, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures, as additional measurements to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, considered along with net earnings, is a relevant indicator of trends relating to our operating performance and provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of items that include: asset impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, stock-based compensation expense, VEBA asset surplus adjustment, environmental remediation charges, strategic alternatives review process costs, Granite City idling costs, tax impact of adjusted items and other changes, net (Adjustment Items). Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are also non- GAAP measures that exclude the effects of certain Adjustment Items. We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to enhance the understanding of our ongoing operating performance and established trends affecting our core operations by excluding the effects of events that can obscure underlying trends. U. S. Steel's management considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as alternative measures of operating performance and not alternative measures of the Company's liquidity. U. S. Steel’s management considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin useful to investors by facilitating a comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of our competitors. Additionally, the presentation of adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provides insight into management’s view and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operating performance because management does not consider the Adjustment Items when evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We also present net debt, a non-GAAP measure calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure in calculating enterprise value. A condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited), condensed consolidated cash flow statement (unaudited), condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) and preliminary supplemental statistics (unaudited) for U. S. Steel are attached.
