![]() Natural Gas in The Blast Furnace Impact of Low Natural Gas Prices • Natural gas cannot completely replace coke in blast furnace – We estimate natural gas and other injectants can replace up to about 30% – The less coke used the more important the coke’s quality • Alternative technologies take time to implement, require significant capital commitments and are energy intensive • Coke oven gases produced by integrated steelmakers’ own coke ovens is less valuable in low cost natural gas environment, potentially impacting steelmakers’ future reinvest/rebuild decisions Blast Furnace Fuel Pricing 17 Source: CRU, SXC Analysis US$/MMBtu Investor Visits - October 2012 |

![]() Definitions • Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for sales discounts and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. EBITDA reflects sales discounts included as a reduction in sales and other operating revenue. The sales discounts represent the sharing with our customers of a portion of nonconventional fuels tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe that our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since they represent sharing of a tax benefit which is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted EBITDA also reflects the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company’s assets. • Adjusted EBITDA/Ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold. • Free Cash Flow equals cash from operations less cash used in investing activities less cash distributions to non- controlling interests. Management believes Free Cash Flow information enhances an investor’s understanding of a business’ ability to generate cash. Free Cash Flow does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. 21 Investor Visits - October 2012 |
