1 Consolidated financial results are prepared under IFRS. Reporting periods of the Company are 3M, 6M, 9M and 12M. Quarterly figures are obtained by calculation, including in the segment reporting. Figures for comparable periods may differ from figures posted earlier because of rounding off to integers.
2 EBITDA is the operating profit before equity share in financial results of joint ventures, impairment of capital assets and losses from retirement of fixed assets, allowed for amortization and depreciation. EBITDA calculations and further details are presented in the Appendix.
3 Profit for the period attributable to NLMK shareholders.
4 Free cash flow is determined as net cash from operations plus interest received net of interest paid and capital investment. Free cash flow calculations are presented in the Appendix.
5 Net debt is calculated as the sum of long-term and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term deposits at period end. Net debt / EBITDA is represented by net debt as at the end of the reporting period and EBITDA as last 12 months EBITDA. Net debt calculations are presented in the Appendix.
9M 2021 key highlights
· Revenue grew by 69% yoy to $11.6 bn amid higher average sales prices and an increase in the share of finished products in the sales portfolio.
· EBITDA grew by a factor of 3.1 yoy to $5.5 bn due to wider steel products/raw materials price spreads and the implementation of Strategy 2022 projects. EBITDA margin was 48% (+22 p.p. yoy).
· Free cash flow increased by a factor of 2.8 yoy to $2.4 bn driven by EBITDA growth. This was partially offset by the outflow of funds for working capital replenishment amid growing steel and raw material prices.
· Net profit increased by a factor of 5.5 yoy up to $3.8 bn driven by gross profit growth.
Comment from NLMK Group CFO Shamil Kurmashov:
"In Q3 2021, average steel prices grew across all key sales markets. In the US, prices hit new highs. Starting from the middle of the quarter, demand growth in export markets slowed down, coupled with the ongoing recovery of local production and imports. The decrease in steel production and declining exports in China supported global steel prices, leading to an adjustment of iron ore prices at the same time. Australia coal export prices continued to climb amid restocking activities in India, Europe, and Japan.
In August 2021, NLMK Lipetsk performed equipment repairs following an incident in the steelmaking production oxygen supply infrastructure. Capacity utilization rates recovered after the repairs, reaching 98% in September. In this context, the Company's sales totalled 4.1 m t (-4% qoq). Favourable pricing conditions contributed to an increase in NLMK Group's revenue by 10% qoq to $4.6 bn, and EBITDA growth by 11% qoq to $2.3 bn. EBITDA margin remained flat vs. the Q2 level of 50%. Free cash flow increased by 29% qoq to $1.1 bn.
Net debt grew by 40% qoq to $2.7 bn due to working capital increase and dividend payments outflow in Q3 2021. Net debt/EBITDA remained practically flat at 0.43х.
In line with the Group's Dividend Policy, the management recommended the NLMK Board of Directors to pay $1.1 bn in Q3 2021 dividends."

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Q3 2021 market review
· Global steel demand growth rates slowed down in Q3 2021, driven by a decrease in the effect of deferred consumption and by weaker industrial output growth. Other limiting factors included supply chain disruptions amid a shortage of ships and a shortage of electronic components.
· Steel consumption in the EU decreased by 5% qoq (+35% yoy) due to the seasonal decline in economic activity in August and a negative demand trend in the automotive segment amid a shortage of semiconductors. Demand for steel products in the United States increased by 6% qoq (+34% yoy) driven by industrial production growth and an extra liquidity inflow contributing to an uptick in business activity.
· Demand for steel products in China went down by 15% qoq (-13% yoy) amid stricter government regulation. Reduced state support measures and a tightening credit policy caused a drop in housing construction in Q3 2021. Pursuing the goal to reduce controlled emissions, China introduced more restrictions on energy resource consumption, causing a decline in output in energy-intensive industries.
· In Russia consumption of steel products decreased by 12% qoq (-12% yoy) amid slower growth rates in the construction and industrial production sectors.
Q3 2021 prices
· Coal prices: Australian coking coal prices grew by 88% qoq (+121% yoy) amid high steel output outside of China. Coking coal prices in China increased by 53% qoq (+212% yoy) due to decreased internal output and reduced supplies from Mongolia.
· Iron ore raw material prices decreased by 14% qoq (+44% yoy) amid declining steel output in China and growth of supply from Brazil and Australia in September 2021.
· Market prices** for flat steel in the USA increased by 23% qoq (+247% yoy) against the backdrop of stable demand in industrial sectors of the economy and repairs of several large blast furnaces in September. In the EU, prices grew by 7% qoq (+ 136% yoy). However, in August and September prices in the European market declined amid a seasonal slowdown in demand, an increase in import supply and growth of stocks.
· Dollar-denominated prices for steel products on the Russian market grew by 2% qoq (+125% yoy). Dollar-denominated rebar prices grew by 10% qoq (+94% yoy).
· Slab prices in export destinations (FOB Black Sea) decreased by 9% qoq (+89 % yoy).

*Data on steel consumption trends on regional markets are estimates. ** Market prices reflect the level of prices for a given calendar period and differ from the average sales prices of the Company and its segments due to the time lag of the production & sales cycle. Q3 2021 output and sales breakdown · Steel output went down by 15% qoq (+1% yoy) to 3.9 m t due to the incident in the steelmaking production oxygen supply infrastructure at the Lipetsk site in August and the subsequent repairs. · Sales decreased to 4.1 m t (-4% qoq; -7% yoy) with the reduction of slab supply to NBH and export markets caused by the decline in steel output. · Sales mix: the share of semi-finished products was 34% (-3 p.p. qoq; -4 p.p. yoy) as slab and billet supplies to third parties declined. Exports of square billet went down driven by a decrease in the product margin caused by the export duties on steel introduced in Russia for the period from August to December 2021. Sales of finished products amounted to 2.7 m t (+1% qoq, flat yoy). · Sales in the "home" markets reached 2.8 m t (flat qoq and yoy). US sales grew by +17% qoq (+60% yoy) amid strong end demand. In the EU, sales increased by 7% qoq (-12% yoy). In Russia sales dropped by 7% qoq (-9% yoy) due to the slowdown in end demand and purchasing activity of traders in anticipation of further price reduction. Export sales increased by 2% qoq to 1.4 m t. The 21% yoy decrease was due to the high base of Q3 2020, when supplies were being made to non-traditional export destinations. 9M 2021 output and sales breakdown · Steel output increased to 12.9 m t (+8% yoy) as upgrades were completed at NLMK BF and BOF operations and following output growth at NLMK Russia Long Products and NLMK USA. · Sales totalled 12.4 m t (-7% yoy) with the resumption of intra-group slab deliveries to NLMK USA (+0.9 m t yoy) amid a strong demand trend in the region (last year, NLMK USA was rolling slabs from external markets) and a decrease in pig iron production taking into account repairs at NLMK's BF operations in Q1-Q3 2021. · Sales mix: sales of semi-finished products to third parties decreased by 21% yoy driven by the growth of slab deliveries to NLMK USA and NLMK DanSteel. Slab shipments to NBH totalled 1.2 m t (-23% yoy) amid the La Louvière Hot Strip Mill upgrade in H1 2021. Sales of finished products increased by 3% yoy to 8.2 m t. · Sales on "home" markets increased by 2% yoy to 8.3 m t driven by the steel consumption increase in Russia and in the USA. Sales in export markets decreased by 23% yoy to 4.0 m t due to the high base of 9M 2020, when sales were reallocated to export. |

* EBITDA used in NLMK's financial releases is calculated as operating profit before equity share in net losses of associates and other companies accounted for using the equity method of accounting, impairment and write-off of assets, adjusted to depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not an indicator of operating profit, operating activity or liquidity under IFRS, and NLMK discloses it because equivalent indicators could be used by investors and analysts. That said, NLMK's EBITDA should not be viewed on a standalone basis, or in place of profit before tax, or cash flows from operations, as defined by IFRS, or as an indicator of operational efficiency, or as the sum of free cash funds that NLMK can invest into business development. NLMK's EBITDA margin and EBITDA might not be comparable to similar indicators disclosed by other companies as there are no commonly accepted rules for calculating them. For instance, NLMK's EBITDA is calculated similar to what is termed as 'Adjusted EBITDA' in other companies, as NLMK's EBITDA excludes other profit/loss items in addition to interest payments, income tax, depreciation and amortization. **Profit for the period, attributable to NLMK shareholders. |

* EBITDA used in NLMK's financial releases is calculated as operating profit before equity share in net losses of associates and other companies accounted for using the equity method of accounting, impairment and write-off of assets, adjusted to depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not an indicator of operating profit, operating activity or liquidity under IFRS, and NLMK discloses it because equivalent indicators could be used by investors and analysts. That said, NLMK's EBITDA should not be viewed on a standalone basis, or in place of profit before tax, or cash flows from operations, as defined by IFRS, or as an indicator of operational efficiency, or as the sum of free cash funds that NLMK can invest into business development. NLMK's EBITDA margin and EBITDA might not be comparable to similar indicators disclosed by other companies as there are no commonly accepted rules for calculating them. For instance, NLMK's EBITDA is calculated similar to what is termed as 'Adjusted EBITDA' in other companies, as NLMK's EBITDA excludes other profit/loss items in addition to interest payments, income tax, depreciation and amortization.
