Question · Q3 2025
Max from Oddo BHF questioned the confidence in the Mexico asset returning to normalized productivity given past issues. He also asked about import pressure in Brazil and India, the authorities' willingness to tackle it, and if ArcelorMittal would scale back investments in Brazil. Finally, he inquired about the commitment to maintaining production in Ukraine despite increasing challenges.
Answer
Genuino Christino (CFO) acknowledged past issues in Mexico, some stemming from a prior blockade, but expressed confidence in avoiding repetition through a comprehensive review of SOPs. For Brazil, he remained bullish mid-to-long term, noting anti-dumping measures expected to impact by year-end/early next year, and a reduction in Q3 imports. In India, demand is strong despite low prices due to new capacity. Regarding Ukraine, Mr. Christino stated they are running two furnaces at available capacity, the plant is slightly positive, and they are engaging with the government on high energy costs, with plans to continue production.
