2 Forward-looking Statements United States Steel Corporation This presentation contains forward-looking statements with respect to market conditions, operating costs, shipments and prices. Factors that could affect market conditions, costs, shipments and prices for both North American and European operations include: (a) foreign currency fluctuations and related activities; (b) global product demand, prices and mix; (c) global and company steel production levels; (d) plant operating performance; (e) natural gas, electricity, raw materials and transportation prices, usage and availability; (f) international trade developments, including court decisions, legislation and agency decisions on petitions and sunset reviews; (g) the impact of fixed prices in energy and raw materials contracts (many of which have terms of one year or longer) as compared to short-term contract and spot prices of steel products; (h) changes in environmental, tax, pension and other laws; (i) the terms of collective bargaining agreements; (j) employee strikes or other labor issues; and (k) U.S. and global economic performance and political developments. Domestic steel shipments and prices could be affected by import levels and actions taken by the U.S. Government and its agencies, including those related to CO2 emissions, climate change and shale gas development. Economic conditions and political factors in Europe and Canada that may affect U. S. Steel Europe’s and U. S. Steel Canada’s results include, but are not limited to: (l) taxation; (m) nationalization; (n) inflation; (o) fiscal instability; (p) political issues; (q) regulatory actions; and (r) quotas, tariffs, and other protectionist measures.

17 Major industry summary Sources: Eurofer, USSK Marketing, EASSC, LMC, Euroconstruct, ESTA, ACEA United States Steel Corporation Automotive In 3Q 2014, the EU 27 car production is expected to amount to 3.71 million units, an increase of 1% y-o-y. Total EU 2014 car production is forecasted to grow by 3.7% to 16.51 million units. V4 car production is anticipated to increase by 1.7 % y-o-y in 3Q 2014 and for year 2014 we expect growth of 5% y-o-y with 2.90 million produced units. Appliance In 3Q 2014, EU appliance production is projected to grow by 6% q-o-q. In 3Q 2014, V4 market is anticipated to grow by 9% q-o-q. In 2014, activity in the EU domestic appliance sector is expected to rise by 3% y-o-y driven by an improvement in economic conditions and a continued recovery of the European residential property market. Tin Plate General development in the packaging market is expected to copy last year´s trend where after a strong 2Q there was a drop in 3Q. In 3Q 2014, tin consumption is projected to decrease by 5 % q-o-q. Tin output may rise slightly by around 1% in total for 2014. Construction The construction outlook for 3Q 2014 is growth of 1 - 1.2% y-o-y, in line with the anticipated increase in construction investment of approximately 1.5% in 2014. The main factors are the positive outlook for residential construction in the EU and the renovation and modernization (R&M) sector. Construction sector output in 2014 is expected to rise by 2.5%. Service Centers The latest European Steel Service-Centres Association report confirms a mildly rising trend in inventories during 2Q 2014. This represents the normal pattern of improving sector activity in the second quarter and the corresponding need for distributors and end-users to adapt their inventory levels. Inventory is expected to remain at normal levels in most markets during 3Q. U. S. Steel Europe Segment
