2016 Outlook 2016 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook If market conditions, which include spot prices, customer demand, import volumes, supply chain inventories, rig counts and energy prices, remain at their current levels, we would expect 2016 adjusted EBITDA to be near $400 illi m on. We expect market conditions to change, and as changes occur during the balance of 2016, we would expect our adjusted EBITDA to change consistent ith the pace and magnit de of changes in market conditions w pac u . Based on current market conditions, we expect approximately $500 million of cash benefits from working capital improvement in 2016, primarily related to better inventory management, and would expect to be cash positive for the year. United States Steel Corporation Our efforts to improve U.S. trade laws and their enforcement have started to be reflected in preliminary trade rulings. This is a positive step toward establishing a fair market environment in the U.S., but we remain a long way from truly resolving the trade practices that are harming the domestic steel industry. These rulings have been one of the catalysts for improving conditions domestically, and the recent increases in prices for flat-rolled products will begin to be reflected in our results in the second quarter. While we will benefit from the improving market conditions, the global steel industry continues to face many challenges. We continue to move forward aggressively with our Carnegie Way transformation efforts and will continue to use every trade remedy available to us to confront unfair trade practices in our market. If market conditions, which include spot prices, customer demand, import volumes, supply chain inventories, rig counts and energy prices, remain at their current levels, we would expect 2016 adjusted EBITDA to be near $400 million. If market conditions remain at their current levels, we would expect EBITDA for our Flat-Rolled segment to be higher than our 2015 results, we would expect EBITDA for our European segment to be comparable to 2015 results, and we would expect our Tubular segment EBITDA to be lower than our 2015 results. We expect market conditions to change and as changes occur during the balance of 2016 we would expect our , , adjusted EBITDA to change consistent with the pace and magnitude of changes in market conditions. We expect improved results for Other Businesses, primarily from real estate, and we expect post retirement benefit income of approximately $60 million. In the first quarter we generated cash benefits of nearly $300 million from working capital improvements. Based on current market conditions, we expect approximately $500 million of cash benefits from working capital improvements in 2016, primarily related to better inventory management, and would expect to be cash positive for the year 4 .

Including the benefits from projects we implemented during the first quarter, our new total for the full year impact from Carnegie Way benefits in 2016 is $600 million as compared to 2015 as the base year. These benefits resulted from the completion of almost 500 projects in the first quarter and reflect the tremendous efforts of all of o r emplo ees partic larl in the areas of man fact ring and s ppl chain here e ha e o r u y , u y u u u y , w w v u greatest opportunities for improvement. We also completed projects focused on reducing our overhead costs in order to attain better alignment with our operations. We reduced costs across all of our support functions and also reduced the costs of the transformation process itself. These actions represent $100 million of the $350 million additional benefits announced on April 26. Our overhead reduction efforts, including actions we took last year, represent $150 million of the $600 million in 2016 Carnegie Way benefits that we have disclosed to date. Our Carnegie Way transformation process is a detailed, controlled and documented process that required significant effort to create and implement. We are increasing our capabilities and training more of our employees on our Carnegie Way methodologies to support our growing pipeline of projects and accelerate the pace of project completion, allowing for it to be more self-sustaining. The Carnegie Way methodology remains a powerful driver of new value creating projects as our employees gain better insight into the potential sources of new opportunities. Our pace of progress on the Carnegie Way transformation continues to exceed our expectations. The continuing benefits are improving our capability to earn the right to grow and then drive sustainable profitable growth over the long-term as we deal with the cyclicality and volatility of the global steel industry. We still have many opportunities ahead of us. 6


 
Strategic Approach Carnegie Way transformation Phase 1: Earning the right to grow: • Economic profits • Customer satisfaction and loyalty • Process improvements and focused investment Phase 2: Driving profitable growth with: • Innovation and Technology • Differentiated customer solutions • Focused M&A United States Steel Corporation The value creation strategy of the Carnegie Way has two phases. The first is earning the right to grow by delivering economic profit – real earnings in excess of our weighted average cost of capital – across the business cycle and remaining profitable at the trough of the cycle. The second is driving sustainable profitable growth. Our strategy has not changed as we deal with the challenging conditions the steel industry is currently facing. The disciplined structure and methodology of our Carnegie Way transformation is firmly in place. The sustainability and efficiency of our processes have reached a point that no longer requires the level of manual intervention involved in initially creating and implementing the transformation infrastructure and process. We took steps towards right sizing the company in April when we eliminated approximately 25% of the non-represented positions in our U.S. operations. This is in addition to the workforce reductions in March to our Tubular and European businesses. These are necessary steps to align our support services and overhead costs with our current operations. As customer requirements have become more demanding in recent years, our commercial entities continue to make progress on their initiatives to work more closely with our customers to improve our quality and delivery performance We initiative mor . are reaching a level of service that will create the enduring customer relationships - forming the foundation for future growth. We continue to implement our reliability centered maintenance process across all of our facilities. The benefits are startingto be reflected in fewer unplanned outages and lower maintenance costs and are allowing for a more efficient allocation of , mor our maintenance labor force. We are creating a more reliable and agile operating base that lowers our breakeven point and improves our ability to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, while striving to provide superior quality and delivery performance for our customers. We continuously evaluate potential strategic and organizational opportunities, which may include the acquisition, divestiture or consolidation of assets. Given recent market conditions and the continued challenges faced by the Company, we are aggressively focused on maintaining cash and are considering various possibilities, including exiting lines of business and the sale of certain assets that we believe would ultimately result in a stronger balance sheet and 8 greater stockholder value. We will pursue opportunities based on our financial condition, our long-term strategy, and what we determine to be in the best interests of our stockholders at the time. We remain focused on what we control and will be ready to drive profitable growth when the industry improves.


 
Business Update Steelmaking facilities Operating updates Flat-Rolled finishing facilities Iron ore mining facilities Tubular facilities U. S. Steel Europe United States Steel Corporation We made several difficult decisions in 2015 in response to market conditions including the permanent shut down of our steelmaking operations at Fairfield Works and the temporary idling of Granite City Works and our Keetac mining operations. We also had a significant number of lay-offs at other facilities that are operating at reduced rates. In our Flat-Rolled segment, we are currently operating the steelmaking and finishing facilities at our Gary, Great Lakes and Mon Valley Works. The operating efficiencies we are realizing from higher utilization rates at these facilities are greater than the fixed and remaining variable costs we continue to incur at Granite City Works, which we temporarily idled in 2015. We also continue to operate finishing facilities at our Midwest, East Chicago, Fairfield, Granite City and Fairless Hills locations. We would not expect to restart any of our idled facilities until we see sustainable increases in steel demand that would support operating rates at high and efficient levels for those facilities. We have a similar situation at our mining operations Our Keetac facility remains idled and the increased . efficiencies at Minntac provide the lowest pellet costs for our current steelmaking requirements. Minntac can support the steelmaking facilities we are currently operating. We would not expect to restart Keetac unless we restarted the steel making operations at Granite City Works or entered into long term pellet supply agreements with third-party customers. Our tubular operations continue to face very difficult market conditions. Low and volatile oil prices have resulted in decreased drilling activity and rig counts, while supply chain inventories remain high. As a result of the continuing deterioration of the energy tubular markets, we took decisive actions to stem the growing losses by idling certain facilities within the segment, but we continue to operate the facilities needed to support our customers. Our first quarter shipments were the lowest level we have seen in over fifteen years and reducing our losses in this segment is our greatest challenge right now. Our European operations are seeing improving market conditions and are running at high levels at this time. 10

Inventory has fallen 6 consecutive months to levels not seen since December 2013 Imports remain high United States Steel Corporation Imports remain high * Visegrad Group – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia We constantly monitor trends in the markets we serve, and receive updates in those markets directly from our customers. Based on this information: • The automotive market continues to be a very good market for us and we expect it to remain strong throughout the ear y . • We also expect growth in demand in the appliance and construction markets compared to last year. • The industrial equipment market is mixed, with a slight improvement in demand for construction equipment, steady demand in the rail car markets and weakness in mining equipment. • Supply chain inventories are getting tighter. Service center flat-rolled inventories are down 15% from levels at this time last year, and currently stand at 2.2 months of supply. • In the energy markets, low oil prices and rig counts remain a significant headwind. At this time, we do not see any factors, other than increasing oil prices, that would drive a significant improvement in tubular demand and pricing with impacts to both our Tubular and Flat-Rolled segments. We continue to expect slight growth in the automotive, appliance and construction markets in Europe as compared to last year, but tin mill products may be facing increasing challenges from imports. 12

We took significant actions to align our overhead costs with our operations, contributing $100 million to our Carnegie Way benefits for this year. We remain focused on reducing our costs, improving the quality and reliability of our operations, and working with our customers to deliver differentiated solutions that will improve our market position and create value for all of our stakeholders and we are well-positioned to benefit from currently improving market conditions for our Flat-Rolled and European segments. 14

We generated cash from operations of $113 million in the first quarter. We have made progress on our initiative to reduce working capital by $500 million in 2016. Working capital improvements of approximately $300 million helped to s bstantiall offset o r EBITDA loss and o r capital spending O r cash and liq idit remained strong as u y u u . u u y we exited the first quarter. We do not have any significant debt repayments in 2016, but are proactively assessing our options for addressing our 2017 and 2018 bond maturities. We continue to watch the markets closely and are positioned to act quickly if we decide that accessing the capital markets is the appropriate path forward. In March, we made open market repurchases of $19 million of our 2017 and 2018 bonds at a discount to par, but as steel market conditions have improved, our bond prices have also strengthened. Our 2017 bonds are currently trading near par, compared to 74 cents in early December. Maintaining strong cash and liquidity is a competitive advantage for us during a trough in the business cycle, particularly when the timing and duration of a recovery remains uncertain. While working capital and capital spending are two areas we control that can have the biggest impact on our cash and liquidity position, we are working to identify and maximize cash benefits in all areas. We are working to strengthen our balance sheet and we are constantly evaluating all potential options to improve our position so that we are prepared to act quickly when the right opportunity presents itself. 16

Our average realized price fell $31/ton in the quarter and $157/ton versus the first quarter last year. Market prices have improved recently, but still are significantly lower compared to prior ears D e to the contract and spot portfolio of o r Flat Rolled segment recent impro ements in y . u u - , v market pricing will begin to be reflected in our second quarter results. The Flat-Rolled segment benefited from lower raw materials costs and energy prices, as well as lower spending and overhead costs. These were offset by a $50 million unfavorable effect from planned liquidations of inventory costed using the last-in-first-out (LIFO) method related to our targeted working capital reductions in 2016. Our actions to consolidate our Flat-Rolled operating configuration resulted in increased efficiencies at Gary, Great Lakes, and Mon Valley Works. The decrease in Flat-Rolled results for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015 resulted from lower average realized prices as a result of challenging market conditions, including high import levels which have served to drastically depress both spot and contract prices and lower steel substrate sales to our Tubular , segment. These changes were partially offset by lower repair and maintenance, operating, raw materials and energy costs. 18

Lower shipments and average realized prices were offset by lower substrate, spending and operating costs. Energy market conditions continued to deteriorate in the quarter. Falling rig counts, lower oil prices, and increasing import levels are providing a difficult operating environment for our Tubular segment. The decrease in Tubular results for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to decreased shipment volumes and average realized prices as a result of a decline in drilling activity and increasing import levels. These changes were partially offset by lower substrate, repair and maintenance and other operating costs. 20
