The company is saying that, excluding impairments and other non-recurring
items, “net income would have been positive” in 2014.
AM Chair and CEO Lakshmi Mittal cited a “stronger steel demand” in 2014,
offset by lower iron-ore prices. “The business benefited from a 3-percent
increase in steel shipments, an increase in marketable iron-ore investments,
and the result of cost optimization and restructuring efforts,” he said.
“Net debt reached $15.8 billion, the lower level since the onset of the
crisis, demonstrating continued progress towards our medium term target of
$15 billion,” Mittal added. “For 2015, although operating conditions remain
tough we expect steel markets to continue to improve, particularly for
high-value added products such as automotive, where ArcelorMittal is world
leader.”
