Financial review
The results of the past six months were characterised by a sharp increase in raw
material costs and a stronger rand/dollar exchange rate, partially offset by a
steady rise in international steel prices with a flattening off towards the end
of the period. Sales volumes remained in line with the same period last year
although domestic volumes showed a significant increase compared to the previous
six months.
Headline earnings of R668 million were 63% lower than the corresponding period
last year but a substantial improvement on the loss of R427 million reported in
the previous six months.
Year on year the cost of coking coal increased 59% while iron ore and
electricity increased by 23% and 28% respectively. The rand/dollar exchange rate
strengthened from an average of 7.54 to 6.90. Profit from operations was
therefore down 60% to R929 million compared to the R2.3 billion achieved in the
first half of 2010.
Revenue increased marginally to R16.6 billion despite a 4% drop in sales
volumes. Net realised prices achieved were on average 5% higher in rand terms
and 15% in dollar terms.

Market review
International
Export sales volumes declined 17% compared to the corresponding period last year
and 20% compared to the previous period due to an increase in domestic sales.
In general, steel demand was subdued during the past six months, with slow
economic growth being a concern in most advanced economies. Oversupply in the
housing markets in Europe and North America continues to exacerbate this
problem.
Global steel prices across all products rose in the first quarter, stabilised in
May and made a downward correction in June, adversely influenced by lacklustre
demand and increased activity by other suppliers offering attractive prices due
to US dollar weakness. However, prices in China have registered an upward trend
amidst good levels of economic activity.
Domestic
Domestic sales of 1 920 000 tonnes were marginally higher than the 1 905 000
tonnes reported for the same period of 2010. However, sales volumes increased by
27% compared to the previous six months.
The South African economy has continued to grow with GDP increasing at an
annualised rate of 3.6% in the first quarter and an estimated 3.7% in the second
quarter. The largest contributors were manufacturing and mining, which posted
robust growth while the construction sector remaining subdued.
Operational review
Flat Steel Products
Revenue of R11 billion was 5% higher than the first half of last year, driven by
a 3% increase in sales volumes and a 2% increase in average net realised prices.
Profit from operations of R442 million was 62% lower than the corresponding
period, due mainly to a 19% increase in the cash cost of hot rolled coil
produced. Liquid steel production of 2.2 million tonnes climbed 6% over the
corresponding period.
Capacity utilisation was 76% compared to 72% for the first half of last year.
Long Steel Products
Revenue of R5 billion was 3.5% lower than the corresponding period, as a result
of an 18% drop in sales volumes and a 14% increase in average net realised
prices.
Profit from operations decreased by 67% to R232 million compared to R712 million
reported for the same period of 2010, due mainly to a 29% increase in the cash
cost of billets produced. Liquid steel production of 922 000 tonnes dropped 9%
compared to the corresponding period caused by the delayed start-up of blast
furnace N5 at Newcastle Works in January 2011 after a planned stop in December
and subsequent cold conditions experienced on the furnace.
Capacity utilisation for the period was 80% compared to 88% for the same period
in 2010.
Coke and Chemicals
Revenue was up 16% to R1.4 billion over the corresponding period on the back of
a 20% increase in the sales of commercial coke. Net realised prices remained
flat.
Profit from operations of R464 million was 3.5% lower than the corresponding
period due to an increase of 22% in the cost of production.
Safety
Regrettably we suffered two fatalities during the period under review at
Vanderbijlpark Works. Mr Pule Morake was fatally injured on 16 February 2011 and
Mr Petrus Mbongo on 28 May 2011. On 13 July we lost another two lives, that of
Messrs Joseph Mofokeng and Masizakhe Mfanekiso in another tragic incident at
Vanderbijlpark Works. The Board and management extend our heartfelt condolences
to the families and friends of the deceased.
The group remains committed to zero fatalities and zero harm at all the plants.
The lost-time injury frequency rate per million hours worked improved to 1.1 at
the end of June 2011 from 1.4 the year before.
Environment
The emission abatement system for the sinter plant at Vanderbijlpark Works was
completed and should be fully operational during quarter three this year. This
project can be regarded as a milestone as particulate releases from this major
emission source will be reduced by 70%.
Other important projects underway include:
-'The installation of a new iron desulphurisation plant at Newcastle Works which
is due for completion this year. This project will assist in alleviating visible
emissions from the roof of the basic oxygen furnace plant.
-'The achievement of zero effluent discharge status at Newcastle Works is
ongoing with a target date for completion end 2013.
The company`s coke making operations are significantly affected by the new Air
Quality Act and improvement projects will be implemented from 2012 onwards.
The proposals contained in the Carbon Tax Discussion Paper published on 13
December 2010 remain a concern as they will have a severe impact on cost of
steel produced. The company is interacting with relevant state departments and
closely monitors the progress.
Dispute with Sishen Iron Ore Company (Proprietary) Limited ("SIOC")
The company was joined as a co-applicant in the review application between SIOC
and Imperial Crown Trading 289 (Proprietary) Limited ("ICT") and the Department
of Mineral Resources on the issue of the prospecting right to ICT. The matter
will be heard from 15 August 2011.
The arbitration hearing has been set for May 2012.
Broad-based black economic empowerment transaction
The cautionary relating to the BBBEE transaction was renewed on SENS on 10 June
2011. Further renewal of the cautionary announcement will only be issued once
the parties involved have agreed on the extension period for the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent.
Acquisitions
The fulfilment of conditions precedent as part of the agreement to acquire the
shares of ICT is outstanding. The due diligence process remains in progress.
The due diligence for the Northern Cape iron ore mining project is progressing
well. Following the completion of the due diligence, further drilling to define
the ore body and feasibility study will start in earnest. The remaining
conditions precedent include approval by the Department of Mineral Resources.
Competition Commission investigations
As reported previously the Competition Commission ("Commission") is formally
investigating four cases against ArcelorMittal South Africa. The first involves
alleged price fixing in the flat steel market and the second alleged prohibited
pricing behaviour in the tinplate market. The third investigation involves
alleged prohibited vertical practices in respect of purchases of scrap steel.
The fourth investigation appears to involve an extension of the Barnes Fencing
Industries Limited case described under contingent liabilities, into a later
period. The company is co-operating fully with the Commission in these
investigations and delivered all the requested documentation to the Commission.
None of these have been referred by the Commission to the Competition Tribunal
("Tribunal").
Contingent liabilities
The case brought before the Tribunal by Barnes Fencing Industries Limited
relating to alleged price and exclusionary conduct on the sale of wire rod is
continuing in accordance with Tribunal procedures. A date for the hearing has
not been set.
The Commission has referred the company and three other primary steel producers
in South Africa to the Tribunal for alleged price fixing and market division in
respect of certain long steel products. The Commission has recommended the
imposition of a financial penalty of 10% of the company`s 2008 annual turnover.
On 3 September 2010, the Tribunal refused access to the bulk of the
documentation requested by the company which then filed a notice of appeal with
the Competition Appeal Court ("CAC") to review the Tribunal`s decision. The
company also requested the CAC to suspend the Tribunal`s order that the company
should file its answering affidavit, pending the outcome of the appeal. The
parties are now waiting for the appeal hearing date to be set.

Outlook for quarter three 2011
Earnings for the third quarter are expected to be substantially lower than the
previous quarter due to lower international steel prices and lower sales
volumes, exacerbated by the industrial action, a planned shutdown at Saldanha
Works as well as an increase in coking coal costs.
