Forward-looking Statements These slides and remarks are being provided to assist readers in understanding the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of United States Steel Corporation for the third quarter of 2017. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This release contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27 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 growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. References to "we," "us," "our," the "Company," and "U. S. Steel," refer to United States Steel Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. United States Steel Corporation


 
Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Measures We present adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, segment EBITDA, and net debt which are all non-GAAP measures, as additional measurements to enhance the understanding of our performance. We believe that EBITDA and segment EBITDA, considered along with net earnings (loss) and segment earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes, are relevant indicators of trends relating to our operating performance and provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of 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. Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of gains (losses) associated with our retained interest in U. S. Steel Canada Inc., gains (losses) on the sale of ownership interests in equity investees, restructuring charges, impairment charges, and debt extinguishment and other related costs that are not part of the Company’s core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of gains (losses) associated with our retained interest in U. S. Steel Canada Inc., gains (losses) on the sale of ownership interests in equity investees, restructuring charges, and impairment charges. 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 gains (losses) associated with our retained interest in U. S. Steel Canada Inc. gains (losses) on the sale of ownership interests in equity investees, restructuring charges, impairment charges, and debt extinguishment and other related costs 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, many of which use adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA as alternative measures of operating performance. 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 or in preparing the Company’s annual financial Outlook. 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.

United States Steel Corporation 2017 Outlook If market conditions remain at their current levels, we expect: • 2017 net earnings of approximately $323 million, or $1.83 per share, 2017 adjusted net earnings of approximately $300 million, or $1.70 per share, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.075 billion. o EBITDA by Segment; • Flat-Rolled EBITDA of approximately $725 million; • U. S. Steel Europe EBITDA of approximately $400 million; • Tubular EBITDA of approximately ($50) million; and Other Businesses EBITDA of approximately $60 million, offset by approximately $60 million of postretirement benefit expense. We believe market conditions, which include spot prices, raw material costs, customer demand, import volumes, supply chain inventories, rig counts and energy prices, will change, and as changes occur during the balance of 2017, we expect these changes to be reflected in our net earnings and adjusted EBITDA.


 
6 We remain focused on our operations, revitalizing our assets, and developing our talent. We are seeing operating improvements in the assets in which we are investing. This increases our confidence that we will achieve the 2020 improvement targets we have disclosed. We believe the attention to our assets and employees, with continued focus on improving safety, quality, delivery, and cost, will result in improved operating reliability and enable us to remain a strong business partner for our customers. See the Appendix for the reconciliation of Outlook net earnings to consolidated Outlook adjusted EBITDA and Outlook segment earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes to segment Outlook EBITDA.


 
Flat-Rolled Segment asset revitalization program A comprehensive program to: • Improve our profitability and competitiveness • Meet the increasing expectations of our customers A structured and flexible program: • Smaller and less complex projects to reduce execution risk • Adaptable to changing business conditions Multi-year implementation timeline to: • Minimize disruptions to our operations • Ensure we continue to support our customers Focusing on operations United States Steel Corporation


 
Our Flat-Rolled segment asset revitalization program is a comprehensive investment plan with a continuous focus on improving safety, quality, delivery, and cost. As we revitalize our assets, we expect to increase profitability, productivity, operational consistency, and reduce volatility. This program is designed to prioritize investment in the areas with the greatest expected returns. Importantly, while this is a large program, the majority of projects are not large, complex projects. This means that projects are easier to execute. Due to the smaller nature of many of the projects, we do not have to complete the entire program in order to start seeing benefits. Also, by breaking the program down into a series of smaller projects, we have greater flexibility to adjust the scope and pace of project implementation based on changes in business conditions. Our asset revitalization program covers investments in our existing assets, but is not just sustaining capital and maintenance spending; the projects were selected to deliver both operational and commercial benefits, with most of the benefits coming from operational improvements. The commercial benefits we expect to realize will be driven primarily by things we can control, such as better product quality, improved delivery performance, and increased throughput on constrained assets. Being regarded as a top quartile performer in the eyes of our customers will support sustainable commercial benefits from these investments. After we complete our full asset revitalization program, we expect to have a strong core infrastructure, and strong reliability centered maintenance organizations. We will deliver products to our customers with improved reliability and quality. While this program only covers our existing assets, it is intended to create a stable foundation for our future as we continue to evaluate strategic growth projects to strengthen our position as the markets we serve continue to grow and evolve.

10 We currently expect capital spending for our asset revitalization program to be approximately $1.2 billion from 2017 through 2020. We are investing in our assets throughout the entire production process, with targeted improvements in operating efficiency, unplanned downtime, reliability, quality, and costs. While this program covers a wide range of assets in our Flat-Rolled segment, we are placing a strong emphasis on thirteen of our most critical assets. In iron making, these critical assets are the blast furnaces at Gary Works and Great Lakes Works. In steel making, they are the steel shop and caster at Gary Works and the steel shop at Mon Valley Works. In hot rolling, they are the hot strip mills at Gary Works, Great Lakes Works and Mon Valley Works. In finishing, it is the cold mill at Mon Valley Works. We currently expect the timing of the capital spending for our asset revitalization program to be as follows: • Approximately $200 - $250 million in 2017 • Approximately $450 - $500 million in 2018 • Balance to be spent in 2019 and 2020 By 2020 we expect the Flat-Rolled Segment asset revitalization program to deliver: • Increased slab production capability at Gary Works, Great Lakes Works and Mon Valley Works by a total of approximately 1 million tons from our current 2017 forecast of approximately 10 million tons • EBITDA improvement by 2020 of approximately $275 - $325 million annually as compared with 2016 as the base year, assuming current raw materials costs and other market factors This projected EBITDA improvement of $275 - $325 million annually would imply an internal rate of return range of 15% - 20%, well above our weighted average cost of capital.

14 We have developed a performance scorecard that includes two financial and two non-financial metrics for tracking our progress on implementing our Flat-Rolled Segment asset revitalization program. We believe these metrics will effectively demonstrate how successfully we are implementing the program. We consider 2017 to be an investment year for the asset revitalization program. Therefore, the 2017 EBITDA improvement target is zero. As we move into 2018, we will begin quantifying the run-rate benefits of the investments we are making, and we will provide a 2018 target EBITDA improvement. By 2020, we expect the annual EBITDA improvement as a result of our asset revitalization program to be $275-$325 million as compared with 2016 as the base year, assuming current raw materials costs and other market factors. Our progress against the capital spending projection will show the pace of progress, and our progress on the quality and unplanned downtime (now referred to as reliability) will reflect the operational improvements achieved, which are significant drivers for delivering the targeted EBITDA improvement. We have expanded the scope of the unplanned maintenance downtime metric to also include all other operating downtime and production slowdowns that impact our overall equipment effectiveness. We believe this more comprehensive reliability metric has a stronger correlation to our EBITDA improvement metric. We have established our targets for these metrics at the completion of the program in 2020, and have also established our targets for the progress we expect to make in 2017. When we release our full year 2017 results, we will show how we have performed versus our 2017 targets, and we will establish our targets for 2018.


 
YTD 2017 Actual FY 2017 Forecast $1,325 FY 2016 Actual $972 $950 FY 2015 Actual $964 $ Millions Annual maintenance and outage expense Flat-Rolled Segment United States Steel Corporation Note: YTD 2017 is nine months ended 9/30/2017


 
16 We currently expect total maintenance and outage expense for our Flat-Rolled Segment to be approximately $1.325 billion in 2017. This amount includes all normal maintenance and outage expense as well as maintenance and outage expense related to our asset revitalization program, and is a $375 million increase from the $950 million we incurred in 2016. While our overall maintenance and outage expense in 2015 and 2016 was influenced by the significant steel market downturn that impacted both of those years, at approximately $85 to $90 per ton of raw steel production, this still reflects a commitment to maintaining our facilities even under difficult circumstances.


 
United States Steel Corporation Business Update Iron ore mining facilities Steel making facilities Flat-Rolled finishing facilities Tubular facilities U. S. Steel Europe Operating updates


 
At our Flat-Rolled segment iron ore mining operations, we are operating both our Minntac and Keetac facilities. Our Keetac facility successfully resumed pellet production on February 24, 2017 after having been idled for nearly two years. The restart of Keetac helps support our third party pellet sales, while continuing to meet our current domestic steel making needs. We are currently operating the steel making and finishing facilities at our Gary, Great Lakes, and Mon Valley Works. We continue to operate finishing facilities at our Granite City Works, and began rolling slabs on the hot strip mill on February 14, 2017. The steel making operations at Granite City Works remain idled. We continue to operate the finishing facilities at our Fairfield, Midwest, East Chicago, and Fairless Hills locations. We continuously review market conditions and the restart of idled facilities in the context of sustainable increases in steel demand that would support operating rates at profitable levels. We are currently operating our seamless mills in Fairfield, AL and Lorain, OH. Our seamless mill in Fairfield produces mid-range diameter pipe, while our Lorain #3 mill produces large diameter pipe that is historically used for off-shore drilling. We are currently purchasing rounds from third parties to feed our seamless mills. We restarted our Lone Star #2 welded pipe mill in late April. We permanently shut down the Lorain #6 Quench and Temper mill in March 2017 and have decided to relocate the equipment to one of several other sites under consideration to optimize our operations. Our European operations are seeing stable market conditions and are running at high levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $299 million in the third quarter compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $267 million in the same period last year. The change is primarily due to improved financial results. The quarter end cash balance was approximately $1.7 billion, an increase of $179 million from 2016 year-end levels, as improved financial results, the approximately $127 million received related to U. S. Steel Canada in the second quarter, and the $105 million we received from the sale of our 15% interest in Tilden Mining Company L.C. in the third quarter, were partially offset by a net reduction of long-term debt and working capital changes. The cash conversion cycle has improved by 11 days since the end of 2016 primarily as a result of on-going inventory initiatives. Total liquidity improved significantly from year-end 2016 levels due to improved cash levels and higher Asset Based Loan availability, which was driven by improved profitability as well as collateral levels. The decrease in net debt is a result of increased cash and the net reduction of long-term debt. Our strong cash and liquidity position supports our strategic decision to accelerate our asset revitalization efforts.
