Key initiatives for the three months ended September 30, 2010

·   In September 2010, ArcelorMittal secured entry to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (“DJSI World”). The Dow Jones Sustainability Index tracks the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. Securing recognition from this benchmarking index for the first time represents a significant milestone on the Company's journey towards delivering safe, sustainable steel. ArcelorMittal is now a member of the two major sustainability and corporate responsibility indexes; the DJSI World and the FTSE4Good Index series.

·   ArcelorMittal has published a human rights policy which outlines respect for all human rights, ranging from safe working environments to freedom of association, wherever the Company operates. The human rights policy complements existing policies such as the code of business conduct, health and safety, environment and human resource policies and the anti-corruption guidelines. The human rights policy also supports the commitments the Company has already made to the United Nations universal declaration of human rights, the core conventions of the international labour organisation (“ILO”) and the United Nations global compact.

Analysis of results for the three months ended September 30, 2010 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2009

ArcelorMittal recorded net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.4 billion, or $0.89 per share, as compared with net income of $1.7 billion, or $1.13 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and net income of $0.9 billion,or  $0.60 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Page 3 of 19

Total steel shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were 21.0 million metric tonnes as compared with 22.8 million metric tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 18.2 million metric tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 declined 3% to $21.0 billion as compared with $21.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and were up 30% as compared with $16.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Sales were lower during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to seasonally lower volumes (-8%),  partly offset by higher average steel selling prices (+4%).

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.1 billion, as compared with $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $0.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Depreciation expense remained flat at $1.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Impairment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $26 million relating to impairment of a pickling line in Liege, Belgium. Impairment cost for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $119 million and resulted from the sale of the Anzherkoye steam coal mine in Russia which occurred in July 2010.  Impairment cost for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $62 million, and resulted from the impairment of ArcelorMittal Galati’s coke oven assets.

Operating performance for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included a non-cash gain of $85 million relating to unwinding of hedges on raw material purchases as compared to a $92 million gain recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Income from equity method investments and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $108 million, as compared to $183 million and $99 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. Income from equity method investments decreased during the third quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of declines in the operating performance of our Chinese investees.

Net interest expense (including interest expense and interest income) increased to $378 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $308 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and additional interest on account of a new bond issuance during the quarter. Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $387 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company also recorded a financial gain of $24 million, as compared to a $555 million gain in the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of mark-to-market adjustments relating to its convertible bonds issued in 2009. The gain was lower in the most recent quarter due to the fact that the euro convertible bond varied insignificantly.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has recorded a loss of $110 million as a result of this mark-to-market adjustment.

Foreign exchange and other net financing costs5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $27 million as compared to $479 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The primary factor contributing to the lower expenses in the most recent quarter was the effect of US dollar depreciation on deferred tax assets held in euros which contributed to a net foreign exchange gain of $193 million (in the second quarter foreign exchange was a loss of $214 million). Foreign exchange and other net financing gains for the three months ended September 30, 2009 had amounted to $106 million.

Gains related to the fair value of other derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $16 million, as compared with gains of $34 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

ArcelorMittal recorded an income tax benefit of $566 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to an income tax benefit of $75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $888 million.

Profits attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $16 million as compared with $79 million and $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.  Third quarter profits attributable to non-controlling interests were lower primarily on account of a significant reduction in income from South African operations.

Flat Carbon Americas crude steel production remained flat at 5.9 million tonnes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Shipments for the third quarter of 2010 were 5.0 million tonnes, a decline of 7% as compared to 5.3 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decline was due to a slow-down in buying by distribution centers in North America, a construction slow-down in western Canada, and lower demand from distributors and lower exports from Brazil.

Sales in the Flat Carbon Americas segment were $4.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 8% as compared to $5.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales declined primarily due to lower steel shipments (-7%) offset in part by higher average steel selling prices (+2%).

EBITDA declined to $771 million, with EBITDA/tonne decreasing by $46/tonne to $155/tonne. EBITDA declined in the quarter due to lower volumes as discussed above, higher input costs and lower income from mining operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 billion, compared to $0.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter of 2010 included $1.1 billion of investment in operating working capital as compared to $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2010. With decreased activity levels during the third quarter of 2010, rotation days8 increased to 75 days from 65 days in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in rotation days during the third quarter was primarily due to higher inventory days. Cash provided in other operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $73 million as compared to cash used in other operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $27 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 remained flat at $0.8 billion, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the third quarter of 2010 the Company subscribed to a capital increase in MacArthur Coal Ltd. for $65 million and paid $51 million in connection with the acquisition of minority interests in Ostrava (a transaction concluded in 2009). Capital expenditures increased to $0.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $0.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Company expects capital expenditures to total approximately $3.7 billion in 2010.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company paid dividends amounting to $334 million as compared to $309 million in the second quarter of 2010. Dividends paid during the third quarter of 2010 include $283 million in the parent company and $51 million paid to minority shareholders.

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and short-term investments) amounted to $3.5 billion as compared to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2010. During the quarter, net debt increased by $1.8 billion to $22.1 billion as compared with $20.3 billion at June 30, 2010 and operating working capital (defined as inventory plus trade accounts receivables less trade accounts payables) increased by $1.9 billion to $16.0 billion as compared to $14.1 billion at June 30, 2010, primarily due to higher inventory and foreign exchange impact.

The Company had liquidity of $14.99 billion at September 30, 2010, compared with liquidity of $12.8 billion at June 30, 2010, consisting of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and short-term investments) of $3.5 billion and $11.4 billion of available credit lines.  During the third quarter of 2010, the Company completed issuances of USD 2.5 billion principal amount of US dollar denominated notes, consisting of USD 1 billion of 3.75% notes due 2015, USD 1 billion of 5.25% notes due 2020, as well as a USD 0.5 billion reopening of its 7% notes due 2039. 

Update on management gains, fixed cost reduction program and capacity utilization

At the end of the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s annualized sustainable savings remained flat at $3.0 billion as compared to $3.0 billion as of the end of June 30, 2010. The Company maintains its target to reach management gains of $5.0 billion of sustainable SG&A, fixed cost reductions and continuous improvement by end of 2012. The Company has also achieved $4.4 billion ($2.6 billion at a constant dollar10) of annualized temporary fixed cost savings in the third quarter of 2010 resulting from industrial optimization in response to lower demand. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company achieved $3.9 billion ($1.8 billion at a constant dollar10) of annualized temporary fixed cost savings.

Capacity utilization decreased to approximately 71% in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to approximately 78% in the second quarter of 2010 due to seasonal slowdown primarily in Europe.

Recent Developments

·   On October 12, 2010, the action against ArcelorMittal by the State Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine relating to investment commitments postponed because of the global economic crisis was withdrawn.

·   On September 30, 2010, the European Commission issued a decision lowering the total fines imposed in June 2010 on 17 pre-stressing steel wire producers alleged to be involved in a cartel by 60.47 million euros, from 518.5 million euros previously. The total amount of fines imposed on ArcelorMittal entities has been lowered from 317.2 million euros to 267.1 million euros. Meanwhile, several entities of the ArcelorMittal group have lodged appeals against the Commission decision with the General Court in Luxembourg.

·   On September 22, 2010 ArcelorMittal announced that Mr. Bernard Fontana has been appointed Chief Executive of its Stainless Division. Mr. Fontana was previously Head of Human Resources for the Group and is replacing Jean-Yves Gilet, who has left the Company to head up France's Strategic Investment Fund. He will report to Gonzalo Urquijo, Member of the Group Management Board of ArcelorMittal. Mr. Willie Smit, who was Vice President Employee Relations & Benchmarking, will replace Bernard Fontana as Executive Vice President, Head of Human Resources and will join the Group's Management Committee. Mr. Smit has been with ArcelorMittal since 2005 and previously held senior HR positions at leading mining, manufacturing and construction companies, including as Vice President of Human Resources at Siberian-Urals Aluminium Company (SUAL) in Russia. The Company continues its assessment of a potential spin-off of its Stainless Steel business.

·   On September 8, 2010 ArcelorMittal and BHP Billiton jointly announced that they have ended preliminary discussions to combine the two companies' iron ore mining and infrastructure interests in Liberia and Guinea into a single joint venture. The companies were unable to reach a commercial agreement. ArcelorMittal will continue to develop its operations and iron ore interests in Liberia independently and believes the potential of this business remains attractive. The first phase of the project is under construction with Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) production expected in the second half of 2011.

·   On August 2, 2010 ArcelorMittal completed the pricing of two series of US dollar denominated notes, consisting of USD 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Notes due 2015, USD 1 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.25% Notes due 2020 and also reopened its 7% Notes due 2039 for USD 0.5 billion aggregate principal amount. The 7% Notes due 2039 will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the USD 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 7% Notes due 2039 that were issued on October 8, 2009.  The gross proceeds to ArcelorMittal (before expenses), amounting to approximately USD 2.5 billion, were used to refinance existing indebtedness.

Fourth quarter of 2010 outlook

Fourth quarter 2010 EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.5 - $1.9 billion. Shipments are expected to improve slightly; average steel selling prices and EBITDA/tonne are expected to decline, while capacity utilization levels are expected to remain flat. Operating costs are expected to increase as compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to higher raw material prices.
