FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. Generally, we have identified such forward-looking statements by using the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “aim,” “should,” “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 changes, share of sales and earnings per share changes, anticipated cost savings, potential capital and operational cash improvements, U. S. Steel's future ability and plans to take ownership of its Big River Steel joint venture as a wholly owned subsidiary, 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 this report in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to "U. S. Steel," "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to United States Steel Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated by the context.

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (non-GAAP) Financial Measures

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures such as earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, free cash flow, net debt and cash conversion cycle.

We believe that EBITDA, considered along with the net earnings (loss), is a relevant indicator of trends relating to cash generating activity and provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of restructuring and other charges, the December 24, 2018 Clairton coke making facility fire, the Big River Steel options mark to market, the impact of the tax valuation allowance, the 2018 United Steelworkers labor agreement signing bonus and related costs, Granite City Works temporary idling and restart charges, the loss on shutdown of certain tubular pipe mill assets, gains associated with the sale of our retained interest in U. S. Steel Canada Inc., gains on equity investee transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt and other related costs, the effect of tax reform and other adjustments that are not part of the Company's core operations (Adjustment Items). Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of the Adjustment Items. We present adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to enhance the understanding of our ongoing operating performance and established trends affecting our core operations, by excluding the effects of events that can obscure underlying trends. U. S. Steel's management considers adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA as alternative measures of operating performance and not alternative measures of the Company's liquidity. U. S. Steel’s management considers adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA useful to investors by facilitating a comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of our competitors. Additionally, the presentation of adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA provides insight into management’s view and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, because management does not consider the adjusting items when evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net earnings (loss),

earnings (loss) per diluted share or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure in calculating enterprise value. Both EBITDA and net debt are used by analysts to refine and improve the accuracy of their financial models which utilize enterprise value.

Free cash flow is a measure of cash generated from operations, after any investing activity and dividends paid to stockholders. We believe that free cash flow provides further insight into the Company's overall utilization of cash.

We believe the cash conversion cycle is a useful measure in providing investors with information regarding our cash management performance and is a widely accepted measure of working capital management efficiency. The cash conversion cycle should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to other GAAP metrics as an indicator of performance.

10-K SUMMARY

This section provides an overview of U. S. Steel's business, strategy and financial performance for 2019. It does not contain all of the information that may be important to a reader. Please read the entire Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our vision is for U. S. Steel to be the industry leader in delivering high-quality, value-added products and innovative solutions that address our customers' most challenging steel needs. Underlying our efforts is our belief that we must operate as a principled company committed to a code of conduct that is rooted in our Gary Principles and our core values. Our core values are articulated in our S.T.E.E.L. Principles - Safety First, Trust and Respect, Environmentally Friendly Activities, Ethical Behavior, and Lawful Business Conduct. These core values guide U. S. Steel and help support the economic and societal benefits associated with strong domestic manufacturing capabilities, of which steel is a foundational industry.

We aim to achieve our vision by successfully executing on our world-competitive, “best of both” strategy. By bringing together the best of the integrated steelmaking model with the best of the mini mill steelmaking model, we will transform our business to drive long-term cash flow through industry cycles. We aim to offer an unparalleled product platform to serve customers, achieve world-competitive positioning in strategic, high-margin end markets, and deliver high-quality, value-added products and innovative solutions that address our customers' most challenging steel needs. To become a “best of both” company, we are enhancing our focus on operational and commercial excellence and promoting technological innovation, so we can establish a more competitive cost structure and enhance our capabilities … two key drivers for our strategy.

The diagram below illustrates our world-competitive “best of both” strategic framework and highlights the key actions to transform our business.

Over the past several years, we have proactively re-shaped our footprint and transformed our balance sheet. We used the strength and foundation of our business to align our balance sheet with the investment horizon to execute our strategy.

Our strategy is informed by our critical success factors, which are the bedrock of the “best of both" strategy: (1) Move

Down the Cost Curve; (2) Win in Strategic Markets; and (3) Move Up the Talent Curve. Several of the strategic projects we are undertaking are expected to result in operational improvements. Additionally, the enhanced operating model and organizational structure we implemented beginning in 2020 will also position U. S. Steel to lower its structural fixed costs. We are also investing in new technologies to improve our cost position and increase our capabilities, including our investment in Big River Steel, the electric arc furnace (EAF) at Fairfield Tubular Operations, endless casting and rolling at Mon Valley Works, Gary Works hot strip mill upgrades and the dynamo line at our USSK facility which is within our USSE segment. We will focus on strategic markets, where there is the greatest opportunity to provide differentiated, innovative and value-added solutions that will help our customers succeed. We know that to accomplish our objectives, we also need to move up the talent curve, which we are doing by investing in our employees and providing the training and resources they need to succeed. This will help us reinforce a culture where accountability, fairness and respect are foundational, and high performance and inclusion in all its forms are valued and celebrated.

In 2019, we announced several transformation initiatives key to our strategy. On October 31, 2019, U. S. Steel acquired a 49.9% ownership interest in Big River Steel at a purchase price of approximately $683 million in cash, with a call option to acquire the remaining 50.1% within the next four years. Our investment in Big River Steel will add sustainable steel making technology to our footprint and improve our competitive positioning. Big River Steel is a technological leader combining mini mill technology with aspects of the integrated model to achieve the benefits of each. In December 2019, we announced our intention to indefinitely idle a significant portion of our Great Lakes Works operation near Detroit, Michigan. We expect to begin idling the iron and steelmaking facilities on or around April 1, 2020, and the hot strip mill rolling facility before the end of 2020. This action will transition our footprint to focus on facilities and assets that are differentiated by cost and/or capability.

Ultimately, we intend to center our North American Flat-Rolled operations around three distinct, market-leading assets: Big River Steel, Mon Valley Works, and Gary Works, to transform the business to offer customers differentiated products to deliver highly competitive long-term cash flow generation through higher earnings and lower maintenance capital expenditures.
