Resolution Reached for Challenges Faced in the First Half of the YearResolution Reached for Challenges Faced in the First Half of the Year

Challenges Faced

Gas curtailment in the first quarter

Increasing scrap costs

Meeting strong market demand

Outlook and Resolution

Obtained agreements with gas providers to ensure uninterrupted service

Experiencing scrap cost declines since April

Plate mill operations helped by the planned outage in early July

Tough Decisions

Postpone plate mill outage that had been planned for April to take advantage of strong market demand

Less than optimum mill conditions due to postponement meant production and shipping delays and increased repair and maintenance costs

Page 21: Investor Presentation October 29, 2007. CONFIDENTIAL.

33rdrd Quarter Financial Guidance Quarter Financial Guidance

Pre Outage Issues

– 9 days of natural gas curtailment in 1Q precluded operations from building inventory to cover planned outage.

– Delayed the outage from April until July to take advantage of strong demand and high ASP in 2Q, June over

$900.

– The Reheat Furnace issues in June caused significant mill delays and quality problems.

Post Outage Issues

– Reheat Furnace pressure issues. Gives rise to quality problems leading to more secondary, re-makes, and lower productivity (off 7 tons / hour). Loss of 19,000 plate tons and the related delays (8% higher) impact EBITDA $3.4 million and $4.5 million

respectively. Industry experts, Core Engineering called in to stabilize furnace for continued operation. Permanent engineering solutions have been obtained and will be implemented in 4Q. Miscellaneous SG&A items, $0.5 million.

– The final pieces of the management team come together. VP of Operations and the Manager of Engineering are hired.

Both people are proven leaders from prominent companies.
