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.

17 Major industry summary United States Steel Corporation Automotive In 2Q, EU car production is expected to amount to 4.47 million units, an increase of 0.6% y-o-y. In 2015, total EU car production is forecasted to grow by 2.3% to roughly 17.20 million units. V4 car production is anticipated to decrease by 1.4% y-o-y in 2Q and for 2015 we expect growth of 5.7% y-o-y with 3.18 million produced units. Significant growth is expected mainly at Opel Poland, Audi Hungary and Suzuki Hungary. Appliance The appliance sector is expected to rise in the EU as a whole in 2Q by 2% y-o-y and by 5% y-o-y in V4. The EU appliance market this year is projected to rise by 2.4% y-o-y and by 4% y-o-y in the V4 market. The V4 appliance market in 2015 is driven mainly by Slovakia (Whirlpool – washing machines, Tatramat - heaters ) and Poland (Samsung, LG, BSH). Tin Plate Consumption is anticipated to increase by 15% q-o-q in 2Q. The positive trend in consumption should continue until the end of 3Q. Overall consumption in 2015 is expected to grow by 2.5% y-o-y; after growing 2.8% in 2014. Construction From 2Q onwards, construction activity is expected to improve across the EU. New and renovation projects in the residential sector will likely be the main drivers of growth activity in 2015. Construction in Poland will likely remain largely driven by infrastructure projects. Continued weakness in France and Italy is projected to limit growth of EU construction activity to around 1.2% in 2015. Service Centers 2Q inventory levels likely will remain overall balanced with sales; Southern Europe slightly higher than normal. U. S.
