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.
12M 2021 key highlights
· Revenue grew by 75% yoy to $16.2 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 2.7 yoy to $7.3 bn due to the widening of steel product/raw material price spreads and the implementation of Strategy 2022 projects. EBITDA margin was 45% (+16 p.p. yoy).
· Free cash flow increased by a factor of 2.9 yoy to $3.3 bn driven by strong financial performance. This was partially offset by working capital increase amid growing steel and raw material prices.
· Net profit increased by a factor of 4.1 yoy to $5.0 bn driven by gross profit growth.
Comment from NLMK Group CFO Shamil Kurmashov:
"In Q4 2021, we saw steel demand normalize on the US and European markets, accompanied by growing stocks. This caused a slowdown in consumer activity and, consequently, a reduction in steel prices. The decrease of internal and export prices in China amid low demand in the construction segment also contributed to the downward price trend.
The Q4 2021 growth in steel product shipments by 8% qoq to 4.5 m t supported an increase in Group revenue to $4.6 bn (+2% qoq) despite lower sales prices. EBITDA decreased to $1.8 bn (by 23% qoq) due to narrower steel product/raw material price spreads and introduction of export duties in Russia. EBITDA margin was 38% (- 12 p.p. qoq). Free cash flow decreased by 26% qoq to $0.8 bn due to lower EBITDA and higher capital expenditure in line with the annual forecast.
Net debt increased by 7% qoq to $2.9 bn due to the dividends payout in Q4 2021. Net debt/EBITDA went down to 0.40х (0.43х in Q3 2021).
In line with the Group's Dividend Policy, the management recommended the NLMK Board of Directors to pay $0.9 bn in Q4 2021 dividends."

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Q4 2021 market review
· Global steel consumption decreased by 3% qoq (-7% yoy) amid lower demand in China, while total steel demand in other countries remained flat quarter-on-quarter. Incentives for further growth of metal consumption became weaker due to end demand normalization and recovery of stocks to pre-crisis levels, as well as due to cuts in state support programmes. The spread of the new COVID-19 variant served as an additional factor constraining global economic activity.
· Demand for steel products in China went down by 6% qoq (-18% yoy) amid lower activity in the construction sector. This was due mainly to lower investment in infrastructure and residential housing amid contractionary policy and slower income growth among the population as COVID-19 incidence began to grow again.
· Apparent steel consumption in the EU decreased by 4% qoq (+6% yoy) due to low demand in the automotive segment and stock accumulation. Steel demand in the USA remained flat quarter-on-quarter (+35% yoy); the slowdown of consumption rates was due to the saturation of deferred demand and cuts in government stimulus programmes since November 2021.
· Steel product demand in Russia recovered by 16% qoq (+12% yoy) due mainly to stock replenishment after low consumer activity in anticipation of a further price decrease in Q3 2021.
Q4 2021 prices
· Coal prices: Australian coking coal prices increased by 48% qoq (+3.4х yoy) amid high steel output outside China and limited coal supply from Australia due to repairs at coal assets. Coking coal prices in China increased by 25% qoq (+3.1% yoy) amid a shortage of internal output and lower import supplies from Mongolia and Russia due to COVID-19 restrictions.
· Iron ore raw material prices: price quotes went down by 35% qoq (-16% yoy) amid lower steel output in China and increased supply from Australia and Brazil.
· Market prices** for flat products on the European market continued to go down following a slowdown in end demand and accumulation of stocks (-16% qoq; +80% yoy). Steel product prices in the USA began to drop faster at the end of Q4 2021 due to lower consumer activity and anticipation of a further price decrease (-1% qoq; +136% yoy).
· Dollar-denominated prices for steel products on the Russian market decreased by 18% qoq (+60% yoy). Dollar-denominated rebar prices decreased by 4% qoq (+64% yoy).
· Slab prices in export destinations (FOB Black Sea) decreased by 16% qoq (+33% 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.
Q4 2021 output and sales breakdown · Steel output grew by 16% qoq (+16% yoy) to 4.5 m t as capacity utilization at NLMK Lipetsk grew after repair works in the steelmaking operations oxygen supply infrastructure in August 2021. · Sales grew by 8% qoq to 4.5 m t (+6% yoy) following output growth at NLMK Lipetsk. · Sales mix: the share of semi-finished products in sales was 31% (-3 p.p. qoq; -7 p.p. yoy) amid lower supply of slabs and billets to third parties: intragroup slab sales increased, and the export tariff continued to pressure the marginality of billet sales. Finished product sales stood at 3.1 m t (+12% qoq, +18% yoy). · Sales in NLMK's "home" markets grew by 14% qoq to 3.2 m t (+20% yoy). Supplies to the US market totalled 0.52 m t (-11% qoq; +41% yoy) due to low activity as consumers anticipated a further price decrease. In the EU, sales grew by 12% qoq (-17% yoy). In Russia, sales grew by 24% qoq (+31% yoy) amid high activity in the construction sector. Sales in export markets decreased by 17% qoq to 1.2 m t (-21% yoy) amid high demand in the "home" markets. 12M 2021 output and sales breakdown · Steel output increased to 17.4 m t (+10% yoy) as overhauls were completed at NLMK Lipetsk BF and BOF operations and as output grew in the Long Products and NLMK USA segments. · Sales totalled 16.8 m t (-4% yoy). The year-on-year decrease is due to the renewal of intragroup slab supplies to NLMK USA (1.3 m t) amid a strong demand trend in the region (in 2020, NLMK USA flats were produced using slabs from external markets), an increase in inventory of NLMK slabs in ports following the structural output growth, and normalization of the Russian sites finished product stocks from the low baseline of 2020, caused by feverish demand. Sales of commercial pig iron decreased due to higher consumption of pig iron for steelmaking. An offsetting factor was the increase in sales of NLMK USA finished products and rebar from the Russian sites. · Sales mix: sales of semi-finished products to third parties decreased by 20% yoy as slab supplies to NLMK USA and NLMK DanSteel grew. Slab shipments to NBH stood at 1.7 m t (-19% yoy) due to the upgrade of the NLMK La Louvière hot strip mill in H1 2021. Sales of finished products grew by 6% yoy to 11.2 m t. · Sales in NLMK's "home" markets increased by 6% yoy to 11.4 m t as steel consumption in Russia and the US grew. Sales in export markets were down by 22% yoy to 5.2 m t due to the high baseline of 2020, when supplies were redirected to export markets. |

|
Q4 2021 EBITDA · EBITDA* decreased by 23% qoq to $1.8 bn (+98% yoy) due to narrower spreads of steel products to raw materials and introduction of export duties in Russia ($245 m in Q4 2021), which was partially offset by higher sales. · Commercial expenses increased by 9% qoq to $251 m (+27% yoy) due to higher sales. · General and administrative expenses grew by 9% qoq to $120 m (+28% yoy) due to the accrual of a reserve for the long-term incentive programme and payroll indexation. 12M 2021 EBITDA · EBITDA grew by a factor of 2.7 yoy to $7.3 bn due to the widening price spreads and improved sales mix, as well as the implementation of Strategy 2022 projects. · Commercial expenses increased by 5% yoy to $884 m due to an increase in tariffs for steel product transportation. · General and administrative expenses increased by 28% yoy to $443 m amid the creation of long-term incentive programme reserves and annual salary indexation at NLMK's Russian companies.

* 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.
