(ROIC)
•                                     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 and is indicative of the Company’s ability to generate
cash from operations.
                                         represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold.
                              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.
                                                                             is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation expense plus net income
attributable to non-controlling interests divided by average invested capital (stockholders’ equity plus total debt net of cash and
cash equivalents).  We use Pretax ROIC as one measure of how effectively we deploy capital and make multi-year investment
decisions.  It is also used as a long-term performance measure under certain of our incentive compensation plans.  Pretax ROIC is
not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures used by other companies. Pretax ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
earnings as an indicator of performance.  We define segment level Pretax ROIC as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation expense
plus net income attributable to non-controlling interests divided by average allocated invested  capital.  Average allocated invested
capital  for each respective segment is calculated pro-rata based on the segment level identifiable assets for the period as
disclosed in our public filings.
