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.

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. Changes to the Board of Directors -'Ms FA du Plessis was appointed as an independent non-executive director and member of the Audit and Risk Committee with effect from 4 May 2011. -'Mr AMHO Poupart-Lafarge resigned as non-executive director on 25 May 2011. -'Mr G Urquijo was appointed as a non-executive director with effect from 27 May 2011. Dividend announcement In line with the company`s policy, the Board declared an interim cash dividend of 55 cents, covered approximately three times by headline earnings. Payment in South African rand will be made to shareholders recorded in the register at the close of business on the record date. The salient dates for shareholders are: Last date to trade shares cum dividend Friday, 26 August 2011 Shares commence trading ex-dividend Monday, 29 August 2011 Record date Friday, 2 September 2011 Dividend payment date Monday, 5 September 2011 Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 29 August 2011 and Friday, 2 September 2011, both days inclusive. Dividend entitlements of less than ten Rand will be donated to charity in terms of the articles of association of ArcelorMittal South Africa. 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.
