Value plan: Progress in a challenging year
$1.5bn 3Yr value plan* (2022-2024) Additional temporary actions taken in 2022
▪ Focussed on creating value through well defined initiatives: Commercial (vol & mix in response to energy crisis
improvements) and operational improvements (primarily in variable cost) ▪ In response to the rapidly changing market in
▪ Targeted outcomes → Protect EBITDA against rising inflationary pressures; improve relative Europe, actions were taken to optimize gas
competitive position; and supports sustainably higher profits consumption
▪ Reduced natural gas consumption in the BFs;
oxygen enrichment within reheating furnaces

➢ Plan is on track → Actions taken in 2022 yielded improvements of $0.4bn. Examples of the usage per tonne of steel in 2022 vs 2021
initiatives undertaken are as follows:
• Commercial: Projects to improve cost to manufacture value-added products; and increase higher
Europe gas consumed per tonne of steel
added value mix (e.g. Magnelis products, AHSS) shipped 1Q’21-4Q’22 (Base 100=1Q’21)
• Operational: Improvement of fuel rates in BFs; substitution of purchased coke through improved

values for embodied carbon
▪ LCA value for finished products (EPD for construction products) emissions of steel products

2. Sliding scale based on the % of scrap used in production

increasing scrap rates with existing technology
