Question · Q3 2025
Alan from Morgan Stanley inquired about the unusual or exceptional costs to consider for the 2026 EBITDA bridge, specifically mentioning U.S. tariff costs and Mexico stoppages. He also asked about ArcelorMittal's ability to flex European production and achievable blue sky shipments if new safeguards significantly reduce imports.
Answer
Genuino Christino (CFO) and Daniel Fairclough (Head of Investor Relations) clarified that Mexico's operational issues, which had a $200 million impact, are not expected to recur in 2026. They also highlighted an anticipated $800 million contribution from strategic projects and a potentially improved demand outlook. For Europe, Mr. Christino stated that ArcelorMittal's capacity is well in excess of current production (31 million tons) and they are comfortable supplying the market if imports decline, leveraging existing fixed costs but expecting increased variable costs, including CO2.
