2 Forward-looking Statements United States Steel Corporation This presentation contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, we have identified such forward-looking statements by using the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “aim,” “will” and similar expressions or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, operating performance, trends, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the Company’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. It is possible that the Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward- looking statements are reasonable as of the time made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company's historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Supplementary Data - Disclosures About Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Industrial Equipment Not much change month over month; business levels remain consistent within each segment. Mining slow; construction equipment demand slightly improving with construction market. 2015 railcar demand & backlogs remain steady, but not increasing. Tin Plate AISI reports show domestic mills shipments down 11% y-o-y; more a function of imports flooding the market as USA apparent consumption up 3% through May.

16 Market industry summary Tubular Segment United States Steel Corporation Sources: Baker Hughes, US Energy Information Administration, Preston Publishing, Internal Oil Directed Rig Count The oil directed rig count averaged 682 during 2Q, a decrease of 37% q-o-q. There are currently 659 active oil rigs. Gas Directed Rig Count The natural gas directed rig count averaged 223 during 2Q, a decrease of 23% q-o-q. There are currently 216 active natural gas rigs. Natural Gas Storage Level Currently 2.8 Tcf, 28% above year-ago levels and 3% above the five year average. Oil Price The West Texas Intermediate oil price averaged $57.85 per barrel during 2Q, up $9 or 19% from 1Q. U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts an average 2015 price of $55.51 per barrel. Natural Gas Price The Henry Hub natural gas price averaged $2.75 per million Btu during 2Q, down $0.15 or 5% q-o-q. The U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts an average 2015 natural gas price of $2.97 per million Btu.

17 Major end-markets summary United States Steel Corporation Automotive In 3Q, EU car production is expected to amount to 4.1 million units, an increase of 8% y-o-y. In 2015, total EU car production is forecasted to grow by 4% to roughly 17.5 million units. V4 car production is anticipated to increase by 11.8% y-o-y in Q3 2015 and for 2015 we expect 7.5% growth y-o-y to 3.2 million units. Significant growth is expected mainly from GM Poland, Audi Hungary, Mercedes Hungary and PSA Slovakia. Appliance In 3Q, EU appliance production is projected to grow by 4% y-o-y and by 6% q-o-q. During the same period, V4 production is projected to grow 8% y-o-y, and 14% q-o-q. In 2015 the EU appliance sector will rise by 3% y-o-y; V4 market by 7% y-o-y. The positive trend in the V4 market is driven mainly by Slovak Whirlpool and Polish OEMs. (Samsung, LG, BSH) Tin Plate 3Q demand is expected to decline 3% q-o-q due to the transition out of the busy season after similar demand seen in 2Q as in previous years. Continuing cheap imports from Asia in 3Q are expected mainly to southern Europe. Overall 2015 consumption is expected to grow by 2% y-o-y. Construction The outlook for 2H is for construction activity to gradually gain momentum in most EU countries. France and Italy are expected to lag the modest pick-up in activity due to weak government finances and high unemployment. New and renovation projects in the residential sector will provide the main boost in 2015, projected growth of EU construction activity is around 1.2% in 2015. Service Centers The outlook for real steel consumption is moderately positive, due to activity in most steel-using sectors gaining traction. Higher activity levels at down-stream steel users imply that inventories in the supply chain will need to be raised slightly. The key uncertainty for EU steel producers is whether imports will prevent them from benefiting from the mildly positive trend in EU steel demand. U. S.
