Non-GAAP/Alternative Performance Measures
This document includes supplemental financial measures that are or may be non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures, as defined in the rules of the SEC or the guidelines of the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA). They may exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as applicable, in the calculation of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, they should be considered in conjunction with ArcelorMittal's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, including in its annual report on Form 20-F, its interim financial reports and earnings releases. Comparable IFRS measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP/alternative performance measures thereto are presented in such documents, as well as in the document “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to IFRS Measures” available on the Company's website (under "Investors -- Results"). ArcelorMittal presents EBITDA and EBITDA/tonne and free cash flow (FCF) which are non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures, as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its operating performance. ArcelorMittal believes such indicators are relevant to provide management and investors with additional information. The definition of EBITDA has been revised to split out the impairment charges and exceptional items of the Kazakhstan disposal because the Company believes this presentation provides more clarity with respect to the impacts of this disposal. ArcelorMittal also presents net debt as an additional measure to enhance the understanding of its financial position, changes to its capital structure and its credit assessment. ArcelorMittal also presents adjusted net income(loss) and adjusted basic earnings per share as it believes these are useful measures for the underlying business performance excluding impairment items and exceptional items. The definition of adjusted net income has been revised as for EBITDA to split out the impairment charges and exceptional items of the Kazakhstan disposal for clarity and also to clarify that impairment charges and exceptional items of associates, joint ventures and other investments are excluded from this alternative performance measure. In the model, the definition of EBITDA has also been revised to include income from share of associates, JVs and other investments (excluding impairments and exceptional items if any, of associates, JVs and other investments). Non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with, and not as an alternative to, ArcelorMittal's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.
