MMK CORPORATE PRESENTATION

APRIL 2016

Page 2: mmk is well positioned for local consolidation

…Should Change in Future due

to Long Term Sustainability …But Still Undervalued …

MMK – Fully Renewed

Story…

MMK – THE VALUE STORY

One of TOP-30 global steel players

High EBITDA margin

Late CAPEX cycle, since major

modernization in 2007-2011

Sustainable generation of high FCF

Significantly improved balance

sheet - Net Debt / EBITDA ratio of

only x0.67

Still history-driven discount to peers

in terms of EV/EBITDA multiple,

possible reasons:

Market perception legacy

(“heavy CAPEX / low

dividends”)

Moderate liquidity of shares

(ADTV)

Low vertical integration

High domestic market

dependence

Hidden value – MMK Metalurji

(Turkey)

Sustainable margin advantage

compared to global peers

Anticipated steel demand growth

prospects (rebound after 2015-2016

decline) in Russia

#1 local market share

Low cost producer

High HVA products share

Well positioned in terms of local

consolidation

No need for large CAPEX in 2016-2025

EBITDA EBITDA margin Average for Top30 Steel Names

MMK MARGINS SUSTAINABILITY

8 Source: ММК, Bloomberg

Historical MMK EBITDA Dynamics, mln$

Even in adverse market conditions MMK’s

EBITDA margin never went below 14%

Arguments in Favour of Long-term EBITDA Margin Sustainability

MMK has structural advantage in all stages of business process:

Structural surplus of key raw materials on the local market

Proximity to suppliers and net-back pricing

Low prices for energy resources

Economy on scale

High capacity utilization rates

Low energy efficiency (i.e. coking coal)

Low productivity

High HVA products share

Proximity to end markets

Natural hedge due to net-back pricing for local sales

BENEFITS COMING FROM DOMESTIC MARKET

Source: ММК

Total effect on EBITDA

$300 mln

Due to surplus of main raw materials on local market and netback pricing mechanism MMK has price advantage to main peers from China and EU. Compared to Chinese steel makers MMK‘s cost advantage amounts to:

• $8 per tonne of iron ore concentrate;

• $20 per tonne of pelets; • $10 per tonne of coking coal • $10 per tonne of scrap

MMK’s focus on Russian market and proximity to end customers in the middle of Russia result in higher average realized price (due to netback pricing mechanism).

MMK GROUP SALES STRUCTURE ON THE RUSSIAN AND CIS MARKET

Sales structure on the Russian and CIS market, ths

tonnes

Russia and CIS market sales by region, ths tonnes

• Total sales volume on the Russian and CIS market in Q4 2015 was 1,957

ths tonnes, down 370 ths tonnes q-o-q. This was primarily due to overall

seasonal decline in domestic demand for steel during the quarter.

• Sales of thick plate produced at Mill 5000 in Q4 2015 decreased by 119 ths

tonnes, or 46.0%, q-o-q, which was due to the irregular supply schedule of

large-diameter pipes for the construction of major Gazprom projects. This

factor also resulted in lower share of shipments to pipe makers in the

overall sales structure.

• The increase in the share of cold-rolled steel in shipments for Q4 2015 was

due to a recovery in demand following a significant decline in shipments of

this product in Q3 2015.

• The decrease in export sales of HVA products was due to sufficient domestic demand for these products.

• In Q4 2015, the Company increased its proportion of sales to the Middle East as compared to the previous quarter. Sales to Europe were flat q-o-q.

STRUCTURE OF OPERATING COSTS AND CASH COSTS

• In Q4 2015, the share of metal scrap (due to a decrease in capacity utilisation

of EAFs) decreased in the structure of OJSC MMK’s material costs.

• The share of coal and pellets decreased due to maintenance at blast-furnace

No.9 which started in December 2015.

• The 12.7% decrease in operating costs in Q4 2015 q-o-q was due to the

decline in production volumes, the ruble weakening and cost-optimization

efforts.

Key Questions MMK View

Iron Ore Price Dynamics? Will be on low levels ($40-$50) in mid term period (2-3 years) but will grow up to $55-$65 in a longer run due to market balancing

Global Steel Demand and Overcapacity Forecast?

Global demand for steel is expected to grow by 0.7% y-o-y in 2016 and will be influence by demand coming from China.

Capacity utilizations will remain weak (≈70%) until excessive steel making capacities are removed, first of all in China.

Protectionism Dynamics? Protectionism will be growing in the coming years especially in US and EU regions. Targeted mostly against Chinese steel producers.

Worst Case Scenario for Russian Steel? Simultaneous growth of oil price (≈70 $/t) and rouble strengthening against the background of low iron ore price (≈40$/t) will result in margins compression. Likelihood – 10%.

Political ban on Russian steel exports. 30 mln t of steel under risk (Russian production/consumption is 70 vs. 40 mln t.) Likelihood – 1%

Sources of Value Creation in Steel in Future? Local consolidation to arrange excessive capacities and increase pricing power.

Digital operations to drive costs down.
