CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING 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,” “plan,” “goal,” “future,” “will,” "may" and similar expressions or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, the construction or operation of new or existing facilities or operating capabilities, the timing, size and form of share repurchase transactions, 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, changes in global supply and demand conditions and prices for our products, international trade duties and other aspects of international trade policy, statements regarding our future strategies, products and innovations, statements regarding our greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals 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 and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to (i) "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, (ii) “Big River Steel” refers to Big River Steel Holdings LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated by the context and (iii) ”Transtar” refers to Transtar LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated by the context.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited statements but does not include all disclosures required for complete financial statements by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods covered, including assessment of certain accounting matters using all available information such as consideration of forecasted financial information in context with other information reasonably available to us. However, our future assessment of our current expectations, including consideration of the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Additional information is contained in the United States Steel Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which should be read in conjunction with these condensed financial statements.

Asset Impairments

In the second quarter 2022, the Company recognized charges of approximately $151 million for the write-off of the blast furnaces and related fixed assets for the permanent idling of the iron making process at the Company's Great Lakes Works facility, which had been idled on an indefinite basis during 2020. The coil finishing process at Great Lakes Works continues to operate and remains a component of the Company's operating plans.

In May 2019, U. S. Steel announced that it planned to construct a new endless casting and rolling facility at its Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania, and a cogeneration facility at its Clairton Plant in Clairton, Pennsylvania, both part of the Company's Mon Valley Works. The Company purchased certain equipment for this project before delaying groundbreaking in March 2020 in response to COVID-19. In April 2021, the Company determined not to pursue this project, re-evaluated the use of the already purchased equipment, and subsequently transferred suitable equipment to the Mini Mill segment to be used on the new three-million-ton mini mill flat-rolled facility under construction in Osceola, Arkansas (BR2). Total impairments of $56 million were recognized for this project in 2021, $28 million of which was recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021.

There were no triggering events that required an impairment evaluation of our long-lived asset groups as of September 30, 2022.

2. New Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The Company will apply the guidance prescribed by ASU 2021-08 to business combinations, if any, that take place subsequent to the effective date.

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (ASU 2022-04). ASU 2022-04 requires that an entity disclose certain information about supplier finance programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services. ASU 2022-04 is effective for all entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption of all amendments is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2022-04.

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The update requires entities to use the If-Converted Method for calculating diluted earnings per share, retiring the previous alternative calculation of the Treasury Stock Method for calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments.

-5-

U. S. Steel has adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective implementation method as of January 1, 2022. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2022, balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was as follows:


(in millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2021	Adjustments due to ASU 2020-06	Balance as of January 1, 2022
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
Assets
Deferred income tax benefits	32	4	36

Liabilities
Long-term debt, less unamortized discount and debt issuance costs	3,863	74	3,937
Deferred income tax liabilities	122	(15)	107

Equity
Additional paid-in capital	5,199	(78)	5,121
Retained Earnings	3,534	22	3,556

In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10). ASU 2021-10 provides expanded annual disclosure requirements for business entities that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. U. S. Steel adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Segment Information

U. S. Steel has four reportable segments: North American Flat-Rolled (Flat-Rolled), Mini Mill, U. S. Steel Europe (USSE); and Tubular Products (Tubular). The Mini Mill segment reflects the acquisition of Big River Steel after the purchase of the remaining equity interest on January 15, 2021 (see Note 5 for further details) and Big River 2 (BR2) which is under construction in Osceola, Arkansas. The Tubular segment includes the electric arc furnace at our Fairfield Tubular Operations in Fairfield, Alabama. The results of our real estate businesses and of our former railroad business are combined and disclosed in the Other category.

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Big River Steel Acquisition

On January 15, 2021, U. S. Steel purchased the remaining equity interest in Big River Steel for approximately $625 million in cash net of $36 million and $62 million in cash and restricted cash received, respectively, and the assumption of liabilities of approximately $50 million. There were acquisition related costs of approximately $9 million recorded in 2021.

Prior to the closing of the acquisition on January 15, 2021, U. S. Steel accounted for its 49.9% equity interest in Big River Steel under the equity method. As a result of the acquisition, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of its previously held equity investment to its fair value of $770 million which resulted in a gain of approximately $111 million. The gain was recorded in gain on equity investee transactions in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following unaudited pro forma information for U. S. Steel includes the results of the Big River Steel acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma information is based on historical information and is adjusted for amortization of intangible asset, property, plant and equipment and debt fair value step-ups. The pro forma information does not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the integration of Big River Steel. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

Transtar Disposition

On July 28, 2021, U. S. Steel completed the sale of 100 percent of its equity interests in its wholly-owned short-line railroad, Transtar, LLC (Transtar) to an affiliate of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors, LLC. The

-8-

Company received net cash proceeds of $627 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $506 million in 2021. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into certain ancillary agreements including a railway services agreement, providing for continued rail services for its Gary and Mon Valley Works facilities, and a transition services agreement. Because Transtar does not represent a significant component of U. S. Steel's business and does not constitute a reportable business segment, its results through the date of disposition are reported in the Other category. See Note 4 for further details.

Other Transactions

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain assets related to a component of its flat-roll business. As a result of this commitment, the Company has recognized a total of $119 million in restructuring-related charges, $89 million during the fourth quarter 2021 and $30 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These charges are expected to be paid out on a long-term basis. This transaction is expected to result in a gain upon closure, which is subject to customary closing conditions.

6. Revenue

Revenue is generated primarily from contracts to produce, ship and deliver steel products, and to a lesser extent, raw materials sales such as iron ore pellets and coke by-products and real estate sales. Generally, U. S. Steel’s performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when title transfers to our customer for product shipped or services are provided. Revenues are recorded net of any sales incentives. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are treated as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. Costs related to obtaining sales contracts are incidental and are expensed when incurred. Because customers are invoiced at the time title transfers and U. S. Steel’s right to consideration is unconditional at that time, U. S. Steel does not maintain contract asset balances. Additionally, U. S. Steel does not maintain contract liability balances, as performance obligations are satisfied prior to customer payment for product. U. S. Steel offers industry standard payment terms.

The following tables disaggregate our revenue by product for each of the reportable business segments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

8. Inventories

The LIFO method is the predominant method of inventory costing for our Flat-Rolled and Tubular segments. The FIFO and moving average methods are the predominant inventory costing methods for our Mini Mill segment and the FIFO method is the predominant inventory costing method for our USSE segment. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the LIFO method accounted for 40 percent and 46 percent of total inventory values, respectively.


(In millions)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Raw materials	$	1,225	$	713
Semi-finished products	1,043		1,056
Finished products	435		388
Supplies and sundry items	56		53
Total	$	2,759	$	2,210

Current acquisition costs were estimated to exceed the above inventory values by $1.4 billion and $896 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Cost of sales decreased and earnings before interest and income taxes increased by $1 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as a result of liquidation of LIFO inventories. Cost of sales decreased and earnings before interest and

Employer Contributions

During the first nine months of 2022, U. S. Steel made cash payments of $56 million to the Steelworkers Pension Trust and $1 million of pension payments not funded by trusts.

During the first nine months of 2022, cash payments of $21 million were made for other postretirement benefit payments not funded by trusts.

Company contributions to defined contribution plans totaled $11 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Company contributions to defined contribution plans totaled $34 million and $32 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Transtar Disposition

In connection with the Transtar sale, U. S. Steel remeasured its main pension benefit plan as of June 30, 2021. As a result of the remeasurement, the net pension obligation was reduced by $255 million.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

U. S. Steel has outstanding stock-based compensation awards that were granted by the Compensation & Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, or its designee, under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (Omnibus Plan). The Company's stockholders approved the Omnibus Plan and authorized the Company to issue up to 32,700,000 shares of U. S. Steel common stock under the Omnibus Plan. While the awards that were previously granted under the 2005 Plan remain outstanding, all future awards will be granted under the Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2022, there were 8,832,318 shares available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan.

Recent grants of stock-based compensation consist of restricted stock units, total stockholder return (TSR) performance awards and return on capital employed (ROCE) performance awards. Shares of common stock under the Omnibus Plan are issued from authorized, but unissued stock. The following table is a summary of the awards made under the Omnibus Plan during the first nine months of 2022 and 2021.


	2022			2021
Grant Details	Shares(a)	Fair Value(b)		Shares(a)	Fair Value(b)

Restricted Stock Units	1,225,820	$	24.26	1,831,880	$	19.65

(a) The share amounts shown in this table do not reflect an adjustment for estimated forfeitures.

(b) Represents the per share weighted average for all grants during the period.

(d) A portion of ROCE awards granted in 2022 and 2021 are not shown in the table because they were granted in cash.

-12-

U. S. Steel recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $13 million and $15 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $45 million and $41 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, total future compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $58 million, and the weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 19 months.

Stock Options

Compensation expense for stock options is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant, as calculated by U. S. Steel using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions listed below. Awards generally vest ratably over a three-year service period and have a term of ten years. Stock options are generally issued at the average market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Upon exercise of stock options, shares of U. S. Steel stock are issued from treasury stock or from authorized, but unissued common stock. There have been no stock options granted since 2017 other than the 171,000 performance-based stock options granted in December 2021, which are further described below.

The expected annual dividends per share are based on the latest annualized dividend rate at the date of grant; the expected life in years is determined primarily from historical stock option exercise data; the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of U. S. Steel stock; and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate for the expected life of the option.

The 171,000 performance-based stock options granted in December 2021 do not become vested and exercisable until the Company's 20-trading day average closing stock price meets or exceeds the following stock price hurdles during the seven-year period beginning on the grant date, as follows:


20-trading day Average Closing Stock Price Achievement During 7-Year Period Beginning on Grant Date(a)		Percentage of Performance-Based Stock Options Exercisable
$	35.00	33.33	%
$	45.00	33.33	%
$	55.00	33.34	%

(a) The $35.00 tranche vested in April 2022.

Stock Awards

Restricted stock units awarded as part of annual grants generally vest ratably over three years. Their fair value is the average market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock units granted in connection with new-hire or retention grants generally cliff vest three years from the date of the grant.

TSR performance awards may vest at varying levels at the end of a three-year performance period if U. S. Steel's total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder return of a peer group of companies meets specified performance criteria with each year in the three-year performance period weighted at 20 percent and the full three-year period weighted at 40 percent. TSR performance awards can vest at between zero and 200 percent of the target award. The fair value of the TSR performance awards is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

ROCE performance awards may vest at the end of a three-year performance period contingent upon meeting the specified ROCE performance metric. For the 2022 ROCE performance awards, each year in the three-year performance period is weighted at 20 percent and the full three-year period is weighted at 40 percent of the total award. ROCE performance awards can vest between zero and 200 percent of the target award. The fair value of the ROCE performance awards is the average market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

In December 2021 and August 2022, special performance-based restricted stock unit awards (PSUs) were granted to members of the Company’s executive leadership team. Shares are earned based on the achievement of certain pre-set quantitative performance criteria during the four-year performance period, January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. Shares may vest following the expiration of the Performance Period if the Company satisfies the performance criteria.

The Chief Executive Officer was granted PSUs that vest with the following, equally weighted, performance metrics: (i) EBITDA margin expansion, (ii) greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, (iii) asset portfolio optimization, (iv) leverage metrics and (v) corporate relative valuation. Other members of the executive leadership team were granted PSUs that vest with performance criteria related to: (i) on time and on budget completion of BR2 (30% of the grant), (ii) EBITDA margin expansion (40% of the grant) and (iii) greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction (30% of the grant).

For the PSU awards, a payout is achievable at threshold (50% of target), target (100% of target) or maximum (200% of target) performance achievement. Payout amounts will be interpolated between the threshold, target and maximum amounts.

12. Income Taxes

Tax provision

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $684 million and $224 million, respectively. Additionally, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded an increase in its long-term state deferred tax asset of $4 million and a decrease in its long-term federal deferred tax liability of $15 million in the first quarter of 2022. The tax provisions for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires management to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss and discrete items recognized during the period.

The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, includes an expense of $19 million related to the filing of the 2021 federal income tax return, as well as an additional expense of $13 million related to the reduction in the Pennsylvania corporate net income tax rate which is being phased in over nine years beginning in 2023.

The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes a benefit of $514 million for the release of the domestic valuation allowance recorded against domestic deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, including the impact of profitability generated from current year operations and future projections of profitability. As a result, the Company determined that all of its domestic deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized with the exception of certain of its state net operating losses and state tax credits and reversed the valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets accordingly.

Throughout the year, management regularly updates forecasted annual pretax results for the various countries in which we operate based on changes in factors such as prices, shipments, product mix, plant operating performance and cost estimates. To the extent that actual 2022 pretax results for U.S. and foreign income or loss vary from estimates applied herein, the actual tax provision or benefit recognized in 2022 could be materially different from the forecasted amount used to estimate the tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In March 2022, the Company and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission entered into the Recycling Tax Credit Incentive Agreement, whereby the Company may earn state income tax credits in an amount equal to 30% of the cost of waste reduction, reuse, or recycling equipment, subject to meeting the requirements of the Arkansas Code Ann. Section 26-51-506, for BR2 which is under construction in Osceola, Arkansas. Documentation supporting the Company's investment in qualifying equipment must be submitted as part of an application for certification expected to be completed on or before 2025. In March 2022, the Company received a lump-sum payment of approximately $82 million as proceeds from the sale of a portion of expected future tax credits to be earned by the Company (see Note 21 for additional information). The Company estimates that it could earn tax credits in excess of $700 million, exclusive of the amount sold in March 2022, which the Company will recognize in the year the assets are placed into service and meet the requirements of Arkansas Code Ann. Section 26-51-506. Any unused tax credit that cannot be claimed in a tax year may be carried forward indefinitely by the Company and applied to its future state tax liability.

On August 16, 2022, H.R. 5376 (commonly called the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) was signed into law, which, among other things, implemented a corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) of 15 percent on book income of certain large corporations, a 1 percent excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. The provision pertaining to an excise tax on corporate stock repurchases imposes a nondeductible 1 percent excise tax on a publicly traded corporation for the net value of certain stock that the corporation repurchases. The value of the repurchases subject to the tax is reduced by the value of any stock issued by the corporation during the tax year, including stock issued or provided to the employees. The CAMT imposes a minimum tax on net income adjusted for certain items prescribed by the legislation. Both the CAMT and the excise tax provisions of this legislation are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Although management is currently assessing the impact of the law change and awaiting guidance from the Department of Treasury, the Company anticipates being subject to the new CAMT but does not believe that it will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

13. Earnings and Dividends Per Common Share

Earnings Per Share Attributable to United States Steel Corporation Stockholders

The effect of dilutive securities on weighted average common shares outstanding included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were as follows.

Dividends Paid Per Share

The dividend for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2022 was five cents per common share. The dividend for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2021 was one cent per common share.

14. Derivative Instruments

U. S. Steel uses foreign exchange forward sales contracts (foreign exchange forwards) with maturities up to 25 months to manage our currency requirements and exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The USSE and Flat-Rolled segments use hedge accounting for their foreign exchange forwards. The Mini Mill segment has foreign exchange forwards for which hedge accounting has not been elected; therefore, the changes in the fair value of their foreign exchange forwards are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (mark-to-market accounting).

U. S. Steel also uses financial swaps to protect from the commodity price risk associated with purchases of natural gas, zinc, tin, electricity and iron ore pellets (commodity purchase swaps). We elected cash flow hedge accounting for commodity purchase swaps for natural gas, zinc and tin and iron ore pellets and use mark-to-market accounting for electricity swaps. The commodity purchase swaps have maturities of up to 15 months.

U. S. Steel has entered into financial swaps that are used to partially manage the sales price risk of certain hot-rolled coil sales (sales swaps) and iron ore pellet sales (zero cost collars). Both the sales swaps and the zero cost collars are accounted for using hedge accounting and have maturities of up to 3 months.

The table below shows the outstanding swap quantities used to hedge forecasted purchases and sales as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:


Hedge Contracts	Classification	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Natural gas (in mmbtus)	Commodity purchase swaps	59,215,000		38,661,000

At current contract values, $30 million currently in AOCI as of September 30, 2022, will be recognized as a decrease in cost of sales over the next year and $14 million currently in AOCI as of September 30, 2022, will be recognized as an increase in net sales over the next year.

The gain recognized for foreign exchange forwards and financial swaps where hedge accounting was not elected was $18 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The gain recognized for sales swaps where hedge accounting was not elected was $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and the loss of $3 million was recognized in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Arkansas Development Finance Authority Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 (United States Steel Corporation Project) (Green Bonds)

On September 6, 2022, U. S. Steel closed on an offering of $290 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450% Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds due 2052 (2052 ADFA Green Bonds). U. S. Steel received net proceeds of approximately $287 million after fees of approximately $3 million related to the underwriting and third-party expenses. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds will be used to partially fund work related to U. S. Steel's solid waste disposal facilities, including two electric arc furnaces (EAF) and other equipment facilities at its new technologically-advanced flat rolled steel making facility, BR2, currently under construction near Osceola, Arkansas.

On and after September 1, 2025, the Company may redeem the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount) listed below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 of each of the years indicated below.


Year	Redemption Price
2025	105.000	%
2026	104.000	%
2027	103.000	%
2028	102.000	%
2029	101.000	%
2030 and thereafter	100.000	%

At any time prior to September 1, 2025, U. S. Steel may also redeem the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds, at our option, in whole or in part, or from time to time, at a price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the sum of the present value of the redemption price of the 2052 ADFA Green Bonds if they were redeemed on September 1, 2025, plus interest payments due through September 1, 2025, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the applicable tax-exempt municipal bond rate, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

2026 Senior Convertible Notes

In October 2019, U. S. Steel issued $350 million of 5.00% Senior Convertible Notes due November 1, 2026 (2026 Senior Convertible Notes). Interest on the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes is 74.8391 shares of U. S. Steel common stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.36 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes indenture. Based on the initial conversion rate, the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes are convertible into 26,193,685 shares of U. S. Steel common stock and we reserved for the possible issuance of 33,396,930 shares, which is the maximum amount that could be issued upon conversion. Prior to August 1, 2026, holders of notes may convert all or a portion of their notes at their option only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. On or after August 1, 2026, holders may convert all or a portion of their notes prior to the maturity date. Upon conversion, we will satisfy the obligation with cash, common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. U. S. Steel may not redeem the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes prior to November 5, 2023. On or after November 5, 2023, and prior to August 1, 2026, if the price per share of U. S. Steel's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for specified periods, U. S. Steel may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes at a cash redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

If U. S. Steel undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Convertible Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the repurchase date.

Big River Steel - Sustainability Linked ABL Facility

Big River Steel's amended senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (Big River Steel ABL Facility) matures on July 23, 2026. The facility is secured by first-priority liens on accounts receivable and inventory and certain other assets and second priority liens on most tangible and intangible assets of Big River Steel in each case subject to permitted liens. Additionally, the amendment includes sustainability targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™.

The Big River Steel ABL Facility provides for borrowings for working capital and general corporate purposes in an amount equal up to the lesser of (a) $350 million and (b) a borrowing base calculated based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivables and inventory, subject to certain adjustments and reserves.

-18-

Big River Steel LLC must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent twelve consecutive months when availability under the Big River Steel ABL Facility is less than the greater of ten percent of the borrowing base availability and $13 million. Based on the most recent four quarters as of September 30, 2022, Big River Steel would have met the fixed charge coverage ratio test. The facility includes affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type.

There were no loans outstanding under the Big River Steel ABL Facility at September 30, 2022.

U. S. Steel - Sustainability Linked Credit Facility Agreement

On May 27, 2022, U. S. Steel entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (Credit Facility Agreement) to replace the existing Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (Fifth Credit Facility Agreement). The Credit Facility Agreement has substantially the same terms as the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement, except the Credit Facility Agreement references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate instead of the London Interbank Offered Rate, adjusts the individual lenders' commitments, and renews the five-year maturity to May 27, 2027. The Credit Facility Agreement also adjusts the threshold for the fixed charge coverage ratio. The total availability under the facility remained the same at $1,750 million, and the financial impact from replacing the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement was immaterial. Consistent with the Fifth Credit Facility Agreement, the Credit Facility Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on certain accounts receivable and inventory and includes targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™.

The Credit Facility Agreement provides for borrowings for working capital and general corporate purchases in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $1,750 million or (b) a borrowing base calculated based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, subject to certain adjustments and reserves. As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately $4 million of letters of credit issued and no loans drawn under the Credit Facility Agreement. U. S. Steel must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent four consecutive quarters when availability under the Credit Facility Agreement is less than the greater of ten percent of the maximum facility availability and $140 million. Based on the most recent four quarters as of September 30, 2022, the Company would have met the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

U. S. Steel Košice (USSK) Credit Facilities

On September 29, 2021, USSK entered into a €300 million (approximately $292 million) unsecured sustainability linked credit agreement (USSK Credit Agreement). The USSK Credit Agreement matures in 2026 and contains sustainability targets related to greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction, safety performance and facility certification by ResponsibleSteel™. At September 30, 2022, USSK had no borrowings under the USSK Credit Agreement.

At September 30, 2022, USSK had no borrowings under its €20 million credit facility (approximately $20 million) (USSK Credit Facility) and the availability was approximately $5 million due to approximately $15 million of customs and other guarantees outstanding.

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, current accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued interest included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate fair value. See Note 14 for disclosure of U. S. Steel’s derivative instruments, which are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

Stelco Option for Minntac Mine Interest

On April 30, 2020 (Effective Date), the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Stelco, Inc. (Stelco), that grants Stelco the option to purchase a 25 percent interest (Option Interest) in a to-be-formed entity (Joint Venture) that will own the Company’s current iron ore mine located in Mt. Iron, Minnesota (Minntac Mine). As consideration for the Option, Stelco paid the Company an aggregate amount of $100 million in five $20 million installments during the year-ended December 31, 2020 which are recorded net of transaction costs in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The option can be exercised any time before January 31, 2027, and in the event Stelco exercises the option, Stelco will contribute an additional $500 million to the Joint Venture, which amount shall be remitted solely to U. S. Steel in the form of a one-time special distribution, and the parties will engage in good faith negotiations to finalize the master agreement (pursuant to which Stelco will acquire the Option Interest) and the limited liability company agreement of the Joint Venture.

20. Restructuring and Other Charges

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $23 million, which related to headcount reductions under a voluntary early retirement program (VERP) offered at USSK.

-23-

Cash payments were made related to previously accrued severance and exit costs of approximately $67 million. The cash payments relating to the USSK VERP are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $57 million, which consisted of $30 million related to the planned sale of a component within the Flat-Rolled segment, $23 million related to headcount reductions under a VERP offered at USSK, and $4 million of severance-related charges at other facilities. Cash payments were made related to severance and exit costs of approximately $95 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not record any restructuring and other charges. Cash payments were made related to severance and exit costs of approximately $9 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $37 million, which consisted of $27 million for Great Lakes Works and $10 million for environmental related charges at other facilities and costs related to severance. Cash payments were made related to severance and exit costs of approximately $53 million.

The activity in the accrued balances incurred in relation to restructuring during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:


(In millions)	Employee Related Costs		Exit Costs		Non-cash Charges		Total
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	91	$	149	$	—	$	240

(a)$11 million of payments were made from the pension fund trust assets in the Employee Related Costs column.

Accrued liabilities for restructuring programs are included in the following balance sheet lines:


(In millions)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Accounts payable	$	41	$	34
Payroll and benefits payable	—		2
Employee benefits	131		88
Deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities	19		116
Total	$	191	$	240

21. Contingencies and Commitments

U. S. Steel is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, management believes that U. S. Steel will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably.

U. S. Steel accrues for estimated costs related to existing lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that it will incur these costs in the future and the costs are reasonably estimable.

Asbestos matters – As of September 30, 2022, U. S. Steel was a defendant in approximately 930 active asbestos cases involving approximately 2,520 plaintiffs. The vast majority of these cases involve multiple defendants. About 1,545, or approximately 61 percent, of these plaintiff claims are currently pending in a jurisdiction which permits filings with massive numbers of plaintiffs. At December 31, 2021, U. S. Steel was a defendant in approximately 915 active asbestos cases involving approximately 2,505 plaintiffs. Based upon U. S. Steel’s experience in such cases, it believes that the actual number of plaintiffs who ultimately assert claims against U. S. Steel will likely be a small fraction of the total number of plaintiffs.

-24-

The following table shows the number of asbestos claims in the current period and the prior three years:


Period ended	Opening Number of Claims	Claims Dismissed, Settled and Resolved	New Claims	Closing Number of Claims
December 31, 2019	2,320	195	265	2,390
December 31, 2020	2,390	240	295	2,445
December 31, 2021	2,445	200	260	2,505
September 30, 2022	2,505	150	165	2,520

The amount U. S. Steel accrues for pending asbestos claims is not material to U. S. Steel’s financial condition. However, U. S. Steel is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related claims due to a number of uncertainties, including: (1) the rates at which new claims are filed, (2) the number of and effect of bankruptcies of other companies traditionally defending asbestos claims, (3) uncertainties associated with the variations in the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, (4) uncertainties regarding the facts, circumstances and disease process with each claim and (5) any new legislation enacted to address asbestos-related claims.

Further, U. S. Steel does not believe that an accrual for unasserted claims is required. At any given reporting date, it is probable that there are unasserted claims that will be filed against the Company in the future. The Company engages an outside valuation consultant to assist in assessing its ability to estimate an accrual for unasserted claims. This assessment is based on the Company's settlement experience, including recent claims trends. The analysis focuses on settlements made over the last several years as these claims are likely to best represent future claim characteristics. After review by the valuation consultant and U. S. Steel management, it was determined that the Company could not estimate an accrual for unasserted claims.

Despite these uncertainties, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on U. S. Steel’s financial condition.

Environmental matters – U. S. Steel is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. Changes in accrued liabilities for remediation activities where U. S. Steel is identified as a named party are summarized in the following table:


(In millions)	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Beginning of period	$	158
Accruals for environmental remediation deemed probable and reasonably estimable	18
Obligations settled	(37)
End of period	$	139

Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are included in the following Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet lines:


(In millions)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities	$	64	$	65
Deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities	75		93
Total	$	139	$	158

Expenses related to remediation are recorded in cost of sales and were $19 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. Expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 were immaterial. It is not currently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed. Due to uncertainties inherent in remediation projects and the associated liabilities, it is reasonably possible that total remediation costs for active matters may exceed the accrued liabilities by as much as 15 to 30 percent.

Remediation Projects

U. S. Steel is involved in environmental remediation projects at or adjacent to several current and former U. S. Steel facilities and other locations that are in various stages of completion ranging from initial characterization through post-closure monitoring. Based on the anticipated scope and degree of uncertainty of projects, the Company categorizes projects as follows:

-25-

(1)Projects with Ongoing Study and Scope Development - For these projects, the extent of remediation that may be required is not yet known, the remediation methods and plans are not yet developed, and/or cost estimates cannot be determined. Therefore, significant costs, in addition to the accrued liabilities for these projects, are reasonably possible. There are four environmental remediation projects where additional costs for completion are not currently estimable but could be material. These projects are at Fairfield Works, Lorain Tubular, USS-UPI LLC (UPI) and the former steelmaking plant at Joliet, Illinois. As of September 30, 2022, accrued liabilities for these projects totaled $1 million for the costs of studies, investigations, interim measures, design and/or remediation. It is reasonably possible that additional liabilities associated with future requirements regarding studies, investigations, design and remediation for these projects could be as much as $22 million to $36 million.

(2)Projects with Significant Accrued liabilities with a Defined Scope - As of September 30, 2022, there are three significant projects with defined scope greater than or equal to $5 million each, with a total accrued liability of $86 million. These projects are Gary Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (the RCRA) (accrued liability of $30 million), Duluth Works (accrued liability of $37 million) and the former Geneva facility (accrued liability of $19 million).

(3)Other Projects with a Defined Scope - These projects involve relatively small accrued liabilities for which we believe that, while additional costs are possible, they are not likely to be significant, and also include those projects for which we do not yet possess sufficient information to estimate potential costs to U. S. Steel. There are three other environmental remediation projects which each had an accrued liability of between $1 million and $5 million. The total accrued liability for these projects at September 30, 2022 was $5 million. These projects have progressed through a significant portion of the design phase and material additional costs are not expected.

The remaining environmental remediation projects each have an accrued liability of less than $1 million each. The total accrued liability for these projects at September 30, 2022 was approximately $4 million. The Company does not foresee material additional liabilities for any of these sites.

Post-Closure Costs – Accrued liabilities for post-closure site monitoring and other costs at various closed landfills totaled $24 million at September 30, 2022 and were based on known scopes of work.

Administrative and Legal Costs – As of September 30, 2022, U. S. Steel had an accrued liability of $10 million for administrative and legal costs related to environmental remediation projects. These accrued liabilities were based on projected administrative and legal costs for the next three years and do not change significantly from year to year.

Capital Expenditures – For a number of years, U. S. Steel has made substantial capital expenditures to comply with various regulations, laws and other requirements relating to the environment. Such capital expenditures totaled $23 million and $14 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. U. S. Steel anticipates making additional such expenditures in the future, which may be material; however, the exact amounts and timing of such expenditures are uncertain because of the continuing evolution of specific regulatory requirements.

European Union (the EU) Environmental Requirements - Phase IV of the EU Emissions Trading System (the EU ETS) commenced on January 1, 2021 and will finish on December 31, 2030. The European Commission issued final approval of the updated 2021-2025 Slovak National Allocation table in February 2022. Subsequently, the Slovak Ministry of Environment allocated the full amount of 2022 free allowances totaling 6.3 million EUA to USSE in February and April 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have pre-purchased approximately 1.8 million EUA totaling €118 million (approximately $115 million) to cover the expected 2022 and 2023 shortfall of emission allowances.

The EU’s Industrial Emissions Directive requires implementation of EU-determined best available techniques (BAT) for Iron and Steel production to reduce environmental impacts as well as compliance with BAT associated emission levels. Total capital expenditures for projects to comply with or go beyond BAT requirements were €138 million (approximately $135 million) over the actual program period. These costs were partially offset by the EU funding received and may be mitigated over the next measurement periods if USSK complies with certain financial covenants, which are assessed annually. USSK complied with these covenants as of September 30, 2022. If we are unable to meet these covenants in the future, USSK might be required to provide additional collateral (e.g., bank guarantee) to secure 50 percent of the EU funding received.

Environmental indemnifications – Throughout its history, U. S. Steel has sold numerous properties and businesses and many of these sales included indemnifications and cost sharing agreements related to the assets that were divested. The amount of potential environmental liability associated with these transactions and properties is not estimable due to the nature and extent of the unknown conditions related to the properties divested and deconsolidated. Aside from the environmental liabilities already recorded as a result of these transactions due to specific environmental remediation activities and cases (included in the $139 million of accrued liabilities for remediation discussed above), there are no other known probable and estimable environmental liabilities related to these transactions.

Guarantees – The maximum guarantees of the indebtedness of unconsolidated entities of U. S. Steel totaled $7 million at September 30, 2022.

-26-

Other contingencies – Under certain lease agreements covering various equipment, U. S. Steel has the option to renew the lease or to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term. If U. S. Steel does not exercise the purchase option by the end of the lease term, U. S. Steel guarantees a residual value of the equipment as determined at the lease inception date (totaling approximately $14 million at September 30, 2022). No liability has been recorded for these guarantees as the potential loss is not probable.

The Company's BR2 project in Osceola, Arkansas qualifies for financing and related economic incentives associated with the acquisition, development, construction, and operation of the facility. These incentives consist of advance lump-sum payments which are included in deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In March 2022, the Company received a lump-sum payment of approximately $82 million as proceeds from the sale of a portion of expected future tax credits to be earned by the Company under the State of Arkansas's Recycling Tax Credit program. These funds are to be used primarily for the acquisition of project related equipment, however they may also be used for the training and development of new employees hired for the project. The Company is contingently liable for certain repayment penalties if the Company fails to meet certain employment requirements in any given period. In April 2022, the Company received a $3 million grant from Mississippi County, Arkansas, and in May 2022, the Company received a $50 million grant from the State of Arkansas Quick Action Closing Fund. Both grants pertain to the reimbursement of qualifying project costs. Deferred liabilities were recognized for each of these grants and are included in deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For each of these incentives and grants, the balance of deferred income will be recognized into other gains, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company earns the granted funds by complying with the investment and employment requirements of the grant programs.

Insurance – U. S. Steel maintains insurance for certain property damage, equipment, business interruption and general liability exposures; however, insurance is applicable only after certain deductibles and retainages. U. S. Steel is self-insured for certain other exposures including workers’ compensation (where permitted by law) and auto liability. Liabilities are recorded for workers’ compensation and personal injury obligations. Other costs resulting from losses under deductible or retainage amounts or not otherwise covered by insurance are charged against income upon occurrence.

U. S. Steel uses surety bonds, trusts and letters of credit to provide whole or partial financial assurance for certain obligations such as workers’ compensation. The total amount of active surety bonds, trusts and letters of credit being used for financial assurance purposes was approximately $183 million as of September 30, 2022, which reflects U. S. Steel’s maximum exposure under these financial guarantees, but not its total exposure for the underlying obligations. A significant portion of our trust arrangements and letters of credit are collateralized by the Credit Facility Agreement. The remaining trust arrangements and letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash. Restricted cash, which is recorded in other current and noncurrent assets, totaled $123 million and $78 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Capital Commitments – At September 30, 2022, U. S. Steel’s contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaled $2.297 billion.

Contractual Purchase Commitments – U. S. Steel is obligated to make payments under contractual purchase commitments, including unconditional purchase obligations. Payments for contracts with remaining terms in excess of one year are summarized below (in millions):


Remainder of 2022	2023	2024	2025	2026	Later Years	Total
$180	$750	$307	$343	$270	$627	$2,477

The majority of U. S. Steel’s unconditional purchase obligations relates to the supply of industrial gases, and certain energy and utility services with terms ranging from two to 14 years. Unconditional purchase obligations also include coke and steam purchase commitments related to a coke supply agreement with Gateway Energy & Coke Company LLC (Gateway) under which Gateway is obligated to supply a minimum volume of the expected targeted annual production of the heat recovery coke plant, and U. S. Steel is obligated to purchase the coke from Gateway at the contract price. As of September 30, 2022, if U. S. Steel were to terminate the agreement, it may be obligated to pay in excess of $36 million.

Total payments relating to unconditional purchase obligations were $274 million and $215 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $695 million and $584 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

22. Common Stock Issued and Repurchased

On October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed for the repurchase of up to $300 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. On January 24, 2022 the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million under the share repurchase program.

U. S. Steel repurchased 31.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $699 million under these programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In February 2021, U. S. Steel issued 48.3 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $790 million.


Item 2.			MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's performance was negatively impacted by lower flat-rolled steel selling prices and lower demand from select end markets in our domestic and European flat-rolled steelmaking segments. In addition, both our Mini Mill and European businesses were impacted by high-cost materials procured earlier in 2022 at the onset of the war in Ukraine. The Tubular segment results benefited from continued strong demand, new trade cases on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and higher selling prices.

Overall, the Company expects fourth quarter results to be lower on both a sequential basis to the third quarter and a comparative basis to the same period a year ago. For the Company’s flat-rolled products, lower demand and lower steel prices are expected to be reflected in its average selling price and volumes. In addition, elevated raw materials costs for the Company’s Mini Mill segment, and elevated raw material and energy costs in the Company’s U. S. Steel Europe segment are expected to continue through the fourth quarter. For Tubular Products, the Company expects that higher prices for oil country tubular goods will increasingly be reflected in the segment's average selling price and that volumes will continue to reflect strong demand.

In order to balance our flat-rolled steel supply with customer demand, the Company pulled forward a planned 30-day outage on blast furnace #3 at Mon Valley Works from October to September. Additionally, the Company temporarily idled blast furnace #8 and tin line #5 at Gary Works during the third quarter due to market conditions and high levels of imports. In our European operations, the Company pulled forward a planned 60-day outage on blast furnace #2 at USSK from October to September. Each of these assets remain temporarily idled due to market conditions. The Company continues to monitor market conditions to ensure our order book and production footprint are balanced.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and active conflict continues in the country. The war in Ukraine will likely continue to cause disruption and instability in Russia, Ukraine, as well as the markets in which we operate. The Company is constantly monitoring the situation for impacts and risks to the business and is implementing risk mitigating strategies where possible.

As a result of the invasion, governments around the world, including the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (U.S.), have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. We are complying with all applicable sanctions that impact our business.

USSE purchases certain raw materials from sources that procure supply from Russia, including natural gas and iron ore. Since the onset of the war, and before, USSE has been building its inventory of iron ore and coal and procuring them through alternate sources. Current levels of iron ore and coal are sufficient to serve customer demand through the end of 2022.

With the EU prohibiting purchases of coal from suppliers in Russia, new purchases of coal originating from Russia have stopped. The Company has built up sufficient inventory on site or in-transit to meet current customer demand. Efforts to secure alternate sources of supply are underway to continue meeting demand.

Additionally, in response to sanctions, Russia has limited supply of natural gas to certain countries. We understand that the country of Slovakia has natural gas storage levels that are sufficient to cover Slovakia's consumption, and Slovakia expects additional shipments originating not from Russia, but from Norway and liquefied natural gas from the U.S. and Africa. Those shipments should be sufficient to cover the needs for the 2022/2023 winter heating season for both households as well as industry, based on the public announcement of the Slovak Ministry of Economy on July 12, 2022. While not expected, if a natural gas crisis is declared in Slovakia, operations at our USSE business could be materially adversely impacted.

-28-

Future sanctions and responsive actions in the region remain uncertain, but we continue to engage with various governmental authorities and suppliers as we navigate the volatile situation. Our team in USSE has been engaged in humanitarian efforts related to the war, and we continue to operate to support the region's people and economy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

U. S. Steel's results in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 for the four reportable segments, with the exception of Tubular, generally declined from deteriorating business conditions:

•North American Flat-Rolled (Flat-Rolled): Flat-Rolled results declined in the three-month period primarily due to lower sales volume and spot prices across most customer and manufacturing industries. Flat-Rolled results modestly increased in the nine-month period primarily due to higher sales price, with contract prices higher and spot pricing lower than in the prior period. The benefit of pricing was partially offset by lower sales volume year to date and increased raw material and energy costs.

•Mini Mill: Mini Mill results declined in the three-month period primarily due to lower sales volume and price across nearly all consuming industries and higher raw material costs. Mini mill results declined in the nine-month period primarily due to lower sales prices industry wide and higher raw material costs.

•U. S. Steel Europe (USSE): USSE results in both the three and nine month periods declined primarily due to lower sales volume and increased raw material and energy costs, general inflation and weakening Euro exchange rate.

•Tubular Products (Tubular): Tubular results improved in both the three and nine month periods primarily due to higher sales volume and price from the steady increase of drilling activity, partially offset by continued high levels of imports.

Net sales by segment for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are set forth in the following table:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions, excluding intersegment sales)	2022		2021		% Change	2022		2021		% Change

Management’s analysis of the percentage change in net sales for U. S. Steel’s reportable business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2022 versus the three months ended September 30, 2021:


	Steel Products (a)
	Volume		Price		Mix		FX (b)		Other (c)		Net Change
Flat-Rolled	(5)	%	(3)	%	(2)	%	—	%	2	%	(8)	%
Mini Mill	(13)	%	(24)	%	—	%	—	%	—	%	(37)	%
USSE	(19)	%	6	%	—	%	(15)	%	2	%	(26)	%
Tubular	3	%	91	%	—	%	—	%	3	%	97	%
(a) Excludes intersegment sales.
(b) Foreign currency translation effects.
(c) Primarily of sales of raw materials and coke making by-products.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 were $5,203 million and $5,964 million, respectively.

•For the Flat-Rolled segment the decrease in sales primarily resulted from lower average realized prices ($93 per ton) from lower value-added products and decreased shipments (152 thousand tons) primarily from higher value-added products.

•For the Mini Mill segment the decrease in sales primarily resulted from lower average realized prices ($421 per ton) across all products and decreased shipments (79 thousand tons) across all products.

•For the USSE segment the decrease in sales primarily resulted from lower average realized prices ($122 per ton) across most products and decreased shipments (197 thousand tons) across most products.

•For the Tubular segment the increase in sales primarily resulted from higher average realized prices ($1,515 per net ton) and increased shipments (3 thousand tons).

Management’s analysis of the percentage change in net sales for U. S. Steel’s reportable business segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is set forth in the following table:


	Steel Products (a)
	Volume		Price		Mix		Acquisition Variance		FX (b)		Other (c)		Net Change
Flat-Rolled	(6)	%	17	%	—	%	n/a		—	%	2	%	13	%
Mini Mill (d)	(7)	%	3	%	—	%	4	%	—	%	—	%	—	%
USSE	(6)	%	30	%	—	%	n/a		(12)	%	1	%	13	%

(a) Excludes intersegment sales.
(b) Foreign currency translation effects.
(c) Primarily of sales of raw materials and coke making by-products.
(d) Mini Mill segment added after January 15, 2021 with the purchase of the remaining equity interest in Big River Steel.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 were $16,727 million and $14,653 million, respectively.

•For the Flat-Rolled segment the increase in sales primarily resulted from higher average realized prices ($215 per ton) primarily from higher value-added products, partially offset by decreased shipments (498 thousand tons) across most products.

•For the Mini Mill segment the consistent sales primarily resulted from higher average realized prices ($13 per ton) from higher value-added products offset by decreased shipments (20 thousand tons) including the partial period of the Company's controlling interest in Big River Steel in January of 2021.

•For the USSE segment the increase in sales primarily resulted from higher average realized prices ($189 per ton) across all products, partially offset by decreased shipments (230 thousand tons) across most products.

•For the Tubular segment the increase in sales primarily resulted from higher average realized prices ($1,174 per net ton) and increased shipments (73 thousand tons).

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $95 million and $324 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $108 million and $316 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The change in expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 versus the same periods in 2021 are primarily driven by profit and variable based incentive costs.

-30-

Restructuring and other charges

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $23 million and $57 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $37 million for restructuring and other charges. No such charges were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Operating configuration adjustments

As noted above, the Company adjusted its operating configuration in response to global overcapacity, unfair trade practices, market conditions and decreased customer demand by indefinitely and temporarily idling certain of its facilities. U. S. Steel will continue to adjust its operating configuration in order to ensure its order book and production footprint are balanced.

Idled Operations

In the third quarter of 2022, we took actions to adjust our footprint by temporarily idling certain operations to better align production with market conditions. The operations that were idled in the third quarter of 2022 and remained idle as of September 30, 2022, along with their carrying values included:

•Blast furnace #8 at Gary Works, $30 million

•Tin Line #5 at Gary, $20 million

•Blast furnace #3 at Mon Valley Works, $45 million

•Blast furnace #2 at USSE, $20 million

The following operations were initially idled in 2020 and remained idle as of September 30, 2022. These facilities and their respective carrying values as of September 30, 2022 included:

•Blast furnace A at Granite City Works, $55 million

•Lone Star Tubular Operations, $5 million

•Lorain Tubular Operations, $65 million

•Wheeling Machine Products coupling production facility at Hughes Springs, Texas, immaterial

In December 2021, the Company permanently idled the steelmaking operations at Great Lakes Works. In addition, in March 2022, the Company permanently idled the finishing facilities at its East Chicago Tin operations, which had been idled on an indefinite basis during 2019. In the second quarter 2022, the Company recognized charges of approximately $151 million for the write-off of the blast furnaces and related fixed assets for the permanent idling of the iron making process at the Company's Great Lakes Works facility. The coil finishing process at Great Lakes Works continues to operate and remains a component of the Company's operating plans.

The decrease in USSE results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to:

•decreased shipments (approximately $75 million)

•higher raw material costs (approximately $205 million)

•increased operating costs (approximately $50 million)

•higher energy costs (approximately $55 million)

•weakening of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar (approximately $85 million),

these changes were partially offset by:

•increased average realized prices, including mix (approximately $45 million).

Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 decreased primarily as a result of lower sales volume, higher raw material and energy costs and negative impacts from the weakening of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar.

The decrease in USSE results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to:

•decreased shipments (approximately $50 million)

•higher raw material costs (approximately $565 million)

•increased operating costs (approximately $130 million)

•higher energy costs (approximately $180 million)

•weakening of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar (approximately $140 million)

•higher other costs (approximately $20 million),

these changes were partially offset by:

•increased average realized prices, including mix (approximately $865 million)

•increased non-steel sales (approximately $25 million).

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 decreased primarily as a result of lower sales volume and higher raw material and energy costs, partially offset by higher average realized prices.

Total net interest and other financial (benefits) costs	$	(30)	$	80	138	%	$	(48)	$	472	110	%

Net interest and other financial (benefits) costs improved in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the absence of current quarter debt retirement losses, reduced interest expense from a reduced level of debt and increased capitalized interest and an increase in net periodic benefit income, primarily due to lower amortization of actuarial losses.

Net interest and other financial (benefits) costs improved in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due the absence of current year debt retirement losses, reduced interest expense from a reduced level of debt and increased capitalized interest and an increase in net periodic benefit income, primarily due to lower amortization of actuarial losses.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $154 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $260 million in the same period in 2021. The change from the prior year period was primarily due to a decrease in earnings before taxes. In addition, the prior year period included a tax benefit resulting from the release of the valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.

Income tax expense was $684 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $224 million in the same period in 2021. The change from the prior year period was primarily due to the tax benefit in the prior year period resulting from the release of the valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.

On July 8, 2022, Pennsylvania House Bill 1342 was enacted, which in part phased in a corporate net income tax (CNIT) rate reduction over nine years. The CNIT rate for the 2022 tax year is 9.99%. The CNIT rate will be reduced to 8.99% for the 2023 tax year. Starting with the 2024 tax year, the rate is reduced by 0.5% annually until it reaches 4.99% for the 2031 tax year and each year thereafter. The Company assessed the impact of the law change and recorded an additional expense of $13 million in the third quarter of 2022 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net earnings

-35-

Net earnings attributable to United States Steel Corporation were $490 million and $2,350 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net earnings of $2,002 million and $3,105 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The changes primarily reflect the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,750 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2,605 million in the same period in 2021. The period over period increase in cash from operations from the prior year period was primarily due to changes in working capital, deferred taxes payable and gains on sale of assets, partially offset by lower net income, decreases in income taxes payable and losses on debt extinguishments. Changes in working capital can vary significantly depending on factors such as the timing of inventory production and purchases, which is affected by the length of our business cycles as well as our captive raw materials position, customer payments of accounts receivable and payments to vendors in the regular course of business.

As shown below our cash conversion cycle for the third quarter of 2022 increased by 11 days as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily from increased inventory days due to higher raw material inventories from quantity and cost.


Cash Conversion Cycle	Third Quarter of 2022		Fourth Quarter of 2021
	$ millions	Days	$ millions	Days
Accounts receivable, net (a)	$2,035	41	$2,089	37

+ Inventories (b)	$2,759	61	$2,210	51

- Accounts Payable and Other Accrued Liabilities (c)	$3,158	68	$2,684	65
= Cash Conversion Cycle (d)		34		23

(a) Calculated as Average Accounts Receivable, net divided by total Net Sales multiplied by the number of days in the period.

(b) Calculated as Average Inventory divided by total Cost of Sales multiplied by the number of days in the period.

(c) Calculated as Average Accounts Payable and Other Accrued Liabilities less bank checks outstanding and other current liabilities divided by total Cost of Sales multiplied by the number of days in the period.

(d) Calculated as Accounts Receivable Days plus Inventory Days less Accounts Payable Days.

The cash conversion cycle is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measure. 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.

The last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory method is the predominant method of inventory costing for our Flat-Rolled and Tubular segments. Based on the Company’s latest internal forecasts and its inventory requirements, management does not believe there will be significant permanent LIFO liquidations that would impact earnings for the remainder of 2022.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,065 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $436 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the payment of $625 million in the prior year period for the purchase of the remaining equity interest in Big River Steel and proceeds of $53 million in the current year period from government grants, partially offset by receipt of $627 million in the prior year period for the sale of Transtar and increased capital expenditures (discussed in more detail below) and lower proceeds from the sale of assets.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $1,138 million, compared with $460 million in the same period in 2021. Flat-Rolled capital expenditures were $365 million which includes spending for the construction of a pig iron facility and hot strip mill upgrades at Gary Works, Keetac direct reduced (DR) grade pellet capability, as well as mining equipment and other infrastructure, environmental, and other strategic projects across the Flat-Rolled footprint. Mini Mill capital expenditures were $710 million and included $445 million for the new Big River 2 (BR2) 3 million ton per year facility being built in Osceola, Arkansas, as well as spending for the new continuous galvanizing line (CGL) and non-grain oriented electrical steel facility being built at the existing Big River Steel facility. USSE capital expenditures were $53 million and included spending for the blast furnace stoves, 5-stand control system upgrades, rail bridge upgrades and various other projects. Tubular capital expenditures were $10 million and included spending to support steelmaking, infrastructure, and environmental projects within the Tubular footprint.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

-36-

Net cash used in financing activities was $752 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2,120 million in the same period last year. The period over period increase in cash from financing activities was primarily due to higher debt repayments made during the prior year and current year proceeds from government grants. These were partially offset by the cash received from common stock issuances in the prior year period and repurchases of common stock made in the current year period.

Debt Financing

Certain of our credit facilities, including the Credit Facility Agreement, the Big River Steel ABL Facility, the USSK Credit Agreement and the Export Credit Agreement, contain standard terms and conditions including customary material adverse change clauses. If a material adverse change was to occur, our ability to fund future operating and capital requirements could be negatively impacted.

On September 6, 2022, we closed on an offering of $290 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450% Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds due 2052 (2052 ADFA Green Bonds). We received net proceeds of approximately $287 million, which will be used to partially fund work related to our solid waste disposal facilities, including two electric arc furnaces (EAF) and other equipment facilities at BR2. We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding long-term debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, exchange transactions, redemptions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, and other factors and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The amounts involved may be material. In third quarter 2022, we redeemed approximately $225 million of our 2029 Senior Notes and $76 million of our 2037 Senior Notes. See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding U. S. Steel's debt.

We use surety bonds, trusts and letters of credit to provide financial assurance for certain transactions and business activities. The use of some forms of financial assurance and cash collateral have a negative impact on liquidity. U. S. Steel has committed approximately $183 million of liquidity sources for financial assurance purposes as of September 30, 2022. Increases in certain of these commitments which use collateral are reflected within cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Share Repurchases

On July 25, 2022, following the completion of the previously authorized $800 million share repurchase programs, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management. The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Common stock repurchased under our share repurchase programs totaled 31.6 million shares and approximately $699 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 22 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Capital Requirements

U. S. Steel’s contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2022, totaled $2.297 billion.

Liquidity

The following table summarizes U. S. Steel’s liquidity as of September 30, 2022:


(Dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,364
Amount available under Credit Facility Agreement	1,746
Amount available under Big River Steel - Revolving Line of Credit	350
Amount available under USSK Credit Agreement and USSK Credit Facility	297
Total estimated liquidity	$	5,757

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $82 million in proceeds from government incentives for the construction of BR2, from the sale of tax credits under the State of Arkansas's Recycling Tax Credit program. The Company is contingently liable for certain repayment penalties if it fails to meet certain employment requirements. In addition, the Company received government grants totaling $53 million for the reimbursement of qualifying project costs related to the construction of BR2. This amount primarily consists of a $50 million grant from the State of Arkansas Quick Action Closing Fund. See Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

We finished the third quarter of 2022 with $3,364 million of cash and cash equivalents and $5,757 million of total liquidity. Available cash is left on deposit with financial institutions or invested in highly liquid securities with parties we believe to be creditworthy. Substantially all of the liquidity attributable to our foreign subsidiaries can be accessed without the imposition of

-37-

income taxes as a result of a prior election to liquidate for U.S. income tax purposes a foreign subsidiary that holds most of our international operations.

We expect that our estimated liquidity requirements will consist primarily of the remaining portion of our 2022 planned strategic and sustaining capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest expense, and operating costs and employee benefits for our operations after taking into account the footprint actions and cost reductions at our plants and headquarters. Our available liquidity at September 30, 2022 consists principally of our cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under the Credit Facility Agreement, Big River Steel ABL Facility, USSK Credit Agreement and the USSK Credit Facility. Management continues to evaluate market conditions in our industry and our global liquidity position, and may consider additional actions to further strengthen our balance sheet and optimize liquidity, including but not limited to the repayment or refinancing of outstanding debt and the incurrence of additional debt to opportunistically finance strategic projects. The Company may also return excess liquidity to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends from time to time if deemed appropriate by management.

U. S. Steel management believes that our liquidity will be adequate to fund our requirements based on our current assumptions with respect to our results of operations and financial condition.

Environmental Matters, Litigation and Contingencies

Some of U. S. Steel’s facilities were in operation before 1900. Although the Company believes that its environmental practices have either led the industry or at least been consistent with prevailing industry practices, hazardous materials have been and may continue to be released at current or former operating sites or delivered to sites operated by third parties.

Our U.S. facilities are subject to environmental laws applicable in the U.S., including the Clean Air Act (the CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as well as state and local laws and regulations.

U. S. Steel has incurred and will continue to incur substantial capital, operating, and maintenance and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations, related to release of hazardous materials, which in recent years have been mainly for process changes to meet the CAA obligations and similar obligations in Europe.

EU Environmental Requirements and Slovak Operations

Phase IV of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) commenced on January 1, 2021, and will finish on December 31, 2030. The European Commission issued final approval of the updated 2021-2025 Slovak National Allocation table in February 2022. Subsequently, the Slovak Ministry of Environment allocated the full amount of 2022 free allowances totaling 6.3 million EUA to USSE in February and April 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have pre-purchased approximately 1.8 million EUA totaling €118 million (approximately $115 million) to cover the expected 2022 and 2023 shortfall emission allowances.

The EU’s Industrial Emissions Directive requires implementation of EU determined best available techniques (BAT) for Iron and Steel production to reduce environmental impacts as well as compliance with BAT associated emission levels. Total capital expenditures for projects to comply with or go beyond BAT requirements were €138 million (approximately $135 million) over the actual program period. These costs were partially offset by the EU funding received and may be mitigated over the next measurement periods if USSK complies with certain financial covenants, which are assessed annually. USSK complied with these covenants as of September 30, 2022. If we are unable to meet these covenants in the future, USSK might be required to provide additional collateral (e.g., bank guarantee) to secure 50 percent of the EU funding received.

For further discussion of laws applicable in Slovakia and the EU and their impact on USSE, see Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Contingencies and Commitments - Environmental Matters, EU Environmental Requirements.”

New and Emerging Environmental Regulations

United States and European Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulations

Future compliance with CO2 emission requirements may include substantial costs for emission allowances, restriction of production and higher prices for coking coal, natural gas and electricity generated by carbon-based systems. Because we cannot predict what requirements ultimately will be imposed in the U.S. and Europe, it is difficult to estimate the likely impact on U. S. Steel, but it could be substantial. On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13783 instructing the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the U.S. EPA) to review the Clean Power Plan (the CPP). As a result, in June 2019, the U.S. EPA published a final rule, the “Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule” that replaced the CPP. Twenty-three states, the District of Columbia, and seven municipalities are challenging the CPP repeal and ACE rule in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (the D.C.) Circuit. A coalition of 21 states has intervened in the litigation in support of the U.S. EPA. Various other public interest organizations, industry groups, and members of Congress are also participating in the litigation. On January 19, 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated and remanded the ACE to the U.S. EPA, while the CPP remains stayed. On October 19, 2021, the United States Supreme Court granted petitions for certiorari filed by the State of West Virginia and others. Oral arguments regarding the petitions were held before the U.S. Supreme Court on February 28, 2022. On June 30, 2022, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of West Virginia. It found that Congress never intended to grant EPA such broad authority to totally revamp

-38-

the energy sector; and noted, in particular, EPA’s attempt to impose what would be a cap-and-trade for CO2 has consistently been rejected by Congress. The Court concluded that Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act did not grant EPA the authority to devise emissions caps based on the generation shifting approach the Agency took in the CPP. There is no direct regulatory impact on U. S. Steel from this decision.

The Phase IV EU ETS period spans 2021-2030 and began on January 1, 2021.The Phase IV period is divided into two sub periods (2021-2025 and 2026-2030), rules for the first subperiod are finalized, however we expect that rules for the second subperiod may be more stringent than those for the first one. Once approved, the rules may impact subperiod 2026-2030. Currently, the overall EU target is a 40 percent reduction of 1990 emissions by 2030. Free allocation of CO2 allowances is based on reduced benchmark values which have been published in the first quarter of 2021 and historical levels of production from 2014-2018. Allocations to individual installations may be adjusted annually to reflect relevant increases and decreases in production. The threshold for adjustments is set at 15 percent and will be assessed on the basis of a rolling average of two precedent years. Production data verified by an external auditor shows that USSE rolling average for 2020-2021 returned to base limit for hot metal production resulting in increase of the free allocation for 2022 compared to 2021, however 2022 free allocation was still slightly reduced due to missing the 15 percent threshold for sinter and coke production. Additionally, lower production in 2019 through 2021 will have an impact on the future free allocation for 2026-2030, where the historical production average for years 2019-2023 will be assessed. Based on actual production data for 9 months of 2022, we believe that free allocation for hot metal will remain unchanged for 2023.

In order to achieve the EU political goal of carbon emissions neutrality by 2050, on July 14, 2021, the European Commission released a package of legislative proposals called Fit for 55. The proposals contain significant changes to current EU ETS functions and requirements, including: a new carbon border adjustment mechanism to impose carbon fees on EU imports, further reduction of free CO2 allowance allocation to heavy industry and measures to strengthen the supply of carbon allowances. Legislative process is being impacted by current Russia-Ukraine crises. The proposals are subject to the EU legislative process, and we cannot predict their future impact.

United States - Air

The CAA imposes stringent limits on air emissions with a federally mandated operating permit program and civil and criminal enforcement sanctions. The CAA requires, among other things, the regulation of hazardous air pollutants through the development and promulgation of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards. The U.S. EPA has developed various industry-specific MACT standards pursuant to this requirement. The CAA requires the U.S. EPA to promulgate regulations establishing emission standards for each category of Hazardous Air Pollutants. The U.S. EPA also must conduct risk assessments on each source category that is already subject to MACT standards and determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks.

While our operations are subject to several different categories of NESHAP and MACT standards, the principal impact of these standards on U. S. Steel's operations includes those that are specific to coke making, iron making, steel making and iron ore processing.

On July 13, 2020, the U.S. EPA published a Residual Risk and Technology Review rule for the Integrated Iron and Steel MACT category in the Federal Register. Based on the results of the U.S. EPA’s risk review, the agency determined that risks due to emissions of air toxics from the Integrated Iron and Steel category are acceptable and that the current regulations provided an ample margin of safety to protect public health. Under the technology review, the U.S. EPA determined that there are no developments in practices, processes or control technologies that necessitate revision of the standards. In September 2020, several petitions for review of the rule, including those filed by the Company, the American Iron and Steel Institute (the AISI), Clean Air Council and others, were filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The cases were consolidated and are being held in abeyance until the U.S. EPA reviews and responds to administrative petitions for review. U.S. EPA is required by court order to issue a final rule by October 26, 2023. Because U.S. EPA has yet to propose a revised iron and steel rule, any impacts are inestimable at this time.

For the Taconite Iron Ore Processing category, based on the results of the U.S. EPA's risk review, the agency promulgated a final rule on July 28, 2020, in which the U.S. EPA determined that risks from emissions of air toxics from this source category are acceptable and that the existing standards provide an ample margin of safety. Furthermore, under the technology review, the agency identified no cost-effective developments in controls, practices, or processes to achieve further emissions reductions. Petitions for review of the rule were filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, in which the Company and the AISI intervened. U.S. EPA is required by court order to issue a final rule by November 16, 2023. Because U.S. EPA has yet to propose a revised taconite rule, any impacts are inestimable at this time.

U.S. EPA is in the process of conducting its statutorily obligated residual risk and technology review of coke oven standards. Because the U.S. EPA has not completed its review of the Coke MACT regulations, any impacts related to the U.S. EPA’s review of the coke standards cannot be estimated at this time.

In response to Court orders that invalidated prior U. S. EPA determinations regarding ozone attainment interference, on April 6, 2022, U.S. EPA proposed a Federal Implementation Plan (that would replace several pending or disapproved State Implementation Plans) for Regional Ozone Transport for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The proposed rule would affect electric generating units (EGUs) in 26 states and certain non-EGU industries, including, among several others, coke ovens, taconite production kilns, boilers, blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, reheating furnaces, and annealing furnaces

-39-

in 23 states, including those where U. S. Steel has operations. The impacts of the rule, if promulgated as proposed, could be material. U. S. Steel submitted comments on the proposed rule on June 21, 2022.

The CAA also requires the U.S. EPA to develop and implement NAAQS for criteria pollutants, which include, among others, particulate matter (PM) - consisting of PM10 and PM2.5, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone.

In October 2015, the U.S. EPA lowered the NAAQS for ozone from 75 parts per billion (ppb) to 70 ppb. On November 6, 2017, the U.S. EPA designated most areas in which we operate as attainment with the 2015 standard. In a separate ruling, on June 4, 2018, the U.S. EPA designated other areas in which we operate as “marginal nonattainment” with the 2015 ozone standard. On December 6, 2018, the U.S. EPA published a final rule regarding implementation of the 2015 ozone standard. Because no state regulatory or permitting actions to bring the ozone nonattainment areas into attainment have yet to be proposed or developed for U. S. Steel facilities, the operational and financial impact of the ozone NAAQS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. On December 31, 2020, the U.S. EPA published a final rule pursuant to its statutorily required review of NAAQS that retains the ozone NAAQS at 70 ppb. In January 2021, New York, along with several states and non-governmental organizations filed petitions for judicial review of the action with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Several other states and industry trade groups intervened in support of the U. S. EPA’s action. The case remains in abeyance before the court until December 15, 2023, as the U.S. EPA voluntarily reconsiders the ozone NAAQS. Because the U.S. EPA has yet to complete its reconsideration and propose a revised ozone NAAQS, any impacts are inestimable at this time.

On December 14, 2012, the U.S. EPA lowered the annual standard for PM2.5 from 15 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) to 12 ug/m3 and retained the PM2.5 24-hour and PM10 NAAQS rules. In December 2014, the U.S. EPA designated some areas in which U. S. Steel operates as nonattainment with the 2012 annual PM2.5 standard. On April 6, 2018, the U.S. EPA published a notice that Pennsylvania, California and Idaho failed to submit a State Implementation Plan (an SIP) to demonstrate attainment with the 2012 fine particulate standard by the deadline established by the CAA. As a result of the notice, Pennsylvania, a state in which we operate, was required to submit an SIP to the U.S. EPA no later than November 7, 2019 to avoid sanctions. On April 29, 2019, the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) published a draft SIP for the Allegheny County nonattainment area which demonstrates that all of Allegheny County will meet its reasonable further progress requirements and be in attainment with the 2012 PM2.5 annual and 24-hour NAAQS by December 31, 2021, with the existing controls that are in place. On September 12, 2019, the Allegheny County Board of Health unanimously approved the draft SIP. The draft SIP was then sent to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). PADEP submitted the SIP to the U.S. EPA for approval on November 1, 2019. To date, the U.S. EPA has not taken action on PADEP’s submittal. On December 18, 2020, the U.S. EPA published a final rule pursuant to its statutorily required review of NAAQS that retains the existing PM2.5 standards without revision. In early 2021, several states and non-governmental organizations filed petitions for judicial review of the action with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Several industry trade groups intervened in support of the U.S. EPA’s action. The case remains in abeyance before the court until March 1, 2023, as U.S. EPA voluntarily reconsiders the PM2.5 NAAQS. In court filings, U.S. EPA advised the Court that it intends to complete its reconsideration process by proposing a rule in Summer 2022 and promulgating a final rule in Spring 2023. Because U.S. EPA has yet to complete its reconsideration and propose a revised PM2.5 NAAQS, any impacts are inestimable at this time.

On January 26, 2021, ACHD announced that for the first time in history all eight air quality monitors in Allegheny County met the federal air quality standards including, in particular sulfur dioxide and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). Preliminary data from 2021 indicates that all eight air quality monitors continue to meet the standards. On March 16, 2022, U.S. EPA published a final rule, a clean data determination, showing that Allegheny County has attained the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 2018 – 2020 ambient air quality data. Based on these data, ACHD is in the process of seeking EPA approval to redesignate the area as attainment with the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

U. S. Steel did not enter into any new material off-balance sheet arrangements during the third quarter of 2022.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

U. S. Steel continues to face import competition, much of which is unfairly traded and fueled by massive global steel overcapacity, currently estimated to be over 500 million metric tons per year—more than five times the entire U.S. steel market and over seventeen times total U.S. steel imports. These imports and overcapacity negatively impact the Company’s operational and financial performance. U. S. Steel continues to lead efforts to address these challenges that threaten the Company, our workers, our stockholders, and our country’s national and economic security.

As of the date of this filing, pursuant to a series of Presidential Proclamations issued in accordance with Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, U.S. imports of certain steel products are subject to a 25 percent tariff, except imports from: (1) Argentina, Brazil, and South Korea, which are subject to restrictive quotas; (2) the European Union (EU), Japan, and the United Kingdom (UK) that are melted and poured in the EU/Japan/UK, within quarterly tariff-rate quota (TRQ) limits; (3) Canada and Mexico, which are not subject to tariffs or quotas, but tariffs could be re-imposed on surging product groups after consultations;

-40-

(4) Ukraine, which was granted a one-year tariff exemption until June 1, 2023; and (5) Australia, which are not subject to tariffs, quotas, or an anti-surge mechanism.

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) is managing a process in which U.S. companies may request and/or oppose temporary product exclusions from the Section 232 tariffs and quotas. U. S. Steel opposes exclusion requests for imported products that are the same as, or substitutes for, products manufactured by U. S. Steel.

Multiple legal challenges to the Section 232 action continue before the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), the latter which has consistently rejected constitutional and statutory challenges to the Section 232 action.

Since its implementation in March 2018, the Section 232 action has supported the U.S. steel industry’s and U. S. Steel’s investments in advanced steel production capabilities, technology, and skills, strengthening U.S. national and economic security. The Company continues to actively defend the Section 232 action.

In February 2019, the European Commission (EC) implemented a definitive safeguard on global steel imports in the form of TRQs that impose 25 percent tariffs on steel imports that exceed the TRQ limit, effective through June 2024.

Antidumping duties (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD or antisubsidy duties) apply in addition to the Section 232 tariffs, quotas, TRQs and the EC’s safeguard, and AD/CVD orders may continue beyond the Section 232 action and the EC’s safeguard. U. S. Steel continues to actively defend and maintain the 58 U.S. AD/CVD orders and 14 EU AD/CVD orders covering U. S. Steel products in multiple proceedings before the DOC, U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), CIT, CAFC, the EC and European courts, and the WTO.

In July 2022, the ITC voted to continue the AD/CVD orders on corrosion-resistant steel from China, India, Italy, South Korea and Taiwan and cold-rolled steel from China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the UK for another five years, but voted to revoke the AD/CVD orders on cold-rolled steel from Brazil. In October 2022, the ITC voted to continue the AD/CVD orders on hot-rolled steel from Australia, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom for another five years, but voted to revoke the AD/CVD orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil. Also, in October 2022, the ITC voted to impose new AD/CVD orders on imports of OCTG from Argentina, Mexico, Korea, and Russia.

In August 2022, the EC imposed definitive AD measures on imports of hot-dipped galvanized steel from Russia and Turkey and announced the continuation of AD measures on imports of cold-rolled steel from China and Russia for another five years. The EC is conducting five-year reviews of the AD/CVD orders on hot-rolled steel from five countries with a decision expected in 2023.

In April 2022, the United States suspended normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus, resulting in higher normal tariffs on imports from Russia and Belarus, including steel and raw materials. In June, President Biden announced additional tariff increases on certain products from Russia, including certain steel products and ferroalloys, effective August 1, 2022.

Additional tariffs of 7.5 to 25 percent continue to apply to certain U.S. imports from China, including certain raw materials used in steel production, semi-finished and finished steel products, and downstream steel-intensive products, pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) is currently conducting a statutory review of the Section 301 tariffs.

The United States and EU are currently negotiating a global sustainable steel arrangement to restore market-oriented conditions and address carbon intensity that is targeted for completion by the end of 2023.

U. S. Steel will continue to execute a broad, global strategy to maximize opportunities and navigate challenges presented by imports, global steel overcapacity, and international trade law and policy developments.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

-41-

U. S. Steel has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. These disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that were designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are: (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable law and regulations. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, U. S. Steel’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have not been any changes in U. S. Steel’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, U. S. Steel’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

GENERAL LITIGATION

On June 8, 2021, JSW Steel (USA) Inc. and JSW Steel USA Ohio, Inc. (collectively, JSW), U.S. based subsidiaries of Indian steelmaker JSW Steel, filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Nucor, U. S. Steel, AK Steel Holding Group and Cleveland-Cliffs (collectively, the JSW Defendants) alleging that the Defendants operated as a cartel and formed a conspiracy to boycott JSW from obtaining semi-finished steel slabs. JSW alleges that the JSW Defendants acted in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act (federal antitrust), and violation of the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act. JSW also alleges that the JSW Defendants formed a civil conspiracy in violation of Texas common law, and that the JSW Defendants tortiously interfered with JSW’s business relationships. The basis for JSW’s allegations relate to the JSW Defendants participation in the DOC's Section 232 process, including the JSW Defendants’ support of the enactment of the President’s Section 232 proclamation, statements made by the JSW Defendants after the enactment of Section 232, and the JSW Defendants’ participation in the Section 232 exclusion process. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages including $45 million for payment of Section 232 tariffs and unspecified amounts for financial penalties, termination fees and lost profits as well as other damages. U. S. Steel, along with the other JSW Defendants, filed a Motion to Dismiss the case on August 17, 2021. On February 17, 2022, the Court issued an opinion dismissing JSW’s antitrust complaint with prejudice. On March 16, 2022, JSW filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. JSW filed its appellate brief with the Fifth Circuit on June 8, 2022, and the JSW defendants filed their response briefs on August 8, 2022. JSW filed its reply brief on September 19, 2022. The Company is vigorously defending the matter.

On April 11, 2017, there was a process waste-water release at our Midwest Plant (Midwest) in Portage, Indiana, that impacted a water outfall that discharges to Burns Waterway near Lake Michigan. The Company has since implemented substantial operational, process and notification improvements at Midwest. In January of 2018, The Surfrider Foundation and the City of Chicago initiated suits in the Northern District of Indiana alleging Clean Water Act (CWA) and permit violations at Midwest. On April 2, 2018, the U.S. EPA and the State of Indiana initiated a separate action against the Company and lodged a Consent Decree negotiated between U. S. Steel and the relevant governmental agencies consisting of all material terms to resolve the CWA and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) violations at Midwest. A public comment period for the Consent Decree ensued. The suits that the Surfrider Foundation and the City of Chicago filed are currently stayed. The Surfrider Foundation and the City of Chicago also filed motions, which were granted, to intervene in the Consent Decree case. The United States Department of Justice (the DOJ) filed a revised Consent Decree and a motion with the court to enter the Consent Decree as final on November 20, 2019. Surfrider Foundation, City of Chicago and other non-governmental organizations filed objections to the revised Consent Decree. The DOJ and U. S. Steel made filings in support of the revised Consent Decree. On August 31, 2021, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana issued an Opinion and Order entering the Consent Decree. The Company filed a Motion to Lift the Stay in the citizen suits as well as Motions to Dismiss the suits on December 15, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the Court granted Company’s Motion to Lift the Stay in the citizen suits. On September 23, 2022, the Court entered an order and opinion granting U. S. Steel’s Motion to Dismiss the Surfrider and City of Chicago CWA claims with prejudice. The Court also declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the City of Chicago’s negligence claim, dismissing it without prejudice and gave the City of Chicago 30 days to refile. The Company is vigorously defending the matter.

On October 2, 2017, an Amended Shareholder Class Action Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania consolidating previously-filed actions. Separately, five related shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Delaware Court of Chancery. The underlying consolidated class action lawsuit alleges that U. S. Steel, certain current and former officers, an upper-level manager of the Company and the financial underwriters who participated in the August 2016 secondary public offering of the Company's common stock (collectively, the "Class Action Defendants") violated federal securities laws in making false statements and/or failing to discover and disclose material information regarding the financial condition of the Company. The lawsuit claims that this conduct caused a prospective class of plaintiffs to sustain damages during the period from January 27, 2016 to April 25, 2017 as a result of the prospective class purchasing the Company's common stock at artificially inflated prices and/or suffering losses when the price of the common stock dropped. The derivative lawsuits generally make the same allegations against the same officers and also allege that certain current and former members of the Board of Directors failed to exercise appropriate control and oversight over the Company and were unjustly compensated. The plaintiffs seek to recover losses that were allegedly

-42-

sustained. The Class Action Defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims. On September 29, 2018 the Court ruled on those motions granting them in part and denying them in part. On March 18, 2019, the plaintiffs withdrew the claims against the Class Action Defendants related to the 2016 secondary offering. As a result, the underwriters are no longer parties to the case. On December 31, 2019, the court granted the Plaintiffs' motion to certify the proceeding as a class action. The Company's appeal of that decision was denied. Discovery followed and concluded. On May 20, 2022, the Plaintiffs and Class Action Defendants agreed to settle the Shareholder Class Action in the amount of $40 million to be fully funded by the Company’s insurers. Court approval of the class action settlement is currently pending. The related derivative cases, which were previously stayed, are now proceeding and the Company will vigorously defend against the derivative lawsuits.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

The following is a summary of the proceedings of U. S. Steel that were pending or contemplated as of September 30, 2022, under federal and state environmental laws, and which U. S. Steel reasonably believes may result in monetary sanctions of at least $1 million (the threshold chosen by U. S. Steel as permitted by Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Information about specific sites where U. S. Steel is or has been engaged in significant clean up or remediation activities is also summarized below. Except as described herein, it is not possible to accurately predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

CERCLA Remediation Sites

Claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) have been raised with respect to the cleanup of various waste disposal and other sites. Under CERCLA, potentially responsible parties (each, a PRP) for a site include current owners and operators, past owners and operators at the time of disposal, persons who arranged for disposal of a hazardous substance at a site and persons who transported a hazardous substance to a site. CERCLA imposes strict and joint and several liabilities. Because of various factors, including the ambiguity of the regulations, the difficulty of identifying the responsible parties for any particular site, the complexity of determining the relative liability among them, the uncertainty as to the most desirable remediation techniques, and the amount of damages and cleanup costs and the time period during which such costs may be incurred, we are unable to reasonably estimate U. S. Steel’s ultimate liabilities under CERCLA.

As of September 30, 2022, U. S. Steel has received information requests or been identified as a PRP at a total of four CERCLA sites, three of which have liabilities that have not been resolved. Based on currently available information, which is in many cases preliminary and incomplete, management believes that U. S. Steel’s liability for CERCLA cleanup and remediation costs at the other site will be over $5 million as described below.

Duluth Works

The former U. S. Steel Duluth Works site was placed on the National Priorities List under CERCLA in 1983 and on the State of Minnesota’s Superfund list in 1984. Liability for environmental remediation at the site is governed by a Response Order by Consent executed with the MPCA in 1985 and a Record of Decision signed by MPCA in 1989. U. S. Steel has partnered with the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) of the U.S. EPA Region 5 to address contaminated sediments in the St. Louis River Estuary and several other operable units that could impact the estuary if not addressed. An amendment to the Project Agreement between U. S. Steel and GLNPO was executed during the second quarter of 2018 to recognize the initial costs associated with implementing the first two phases of the proposed remedial plan at the site.

Remediation contracts were issued by both USS and GLNPO for the first phase of the remedial work at the site during the fourth quarter of 2020. USS and GLNPO have completed the second phase of work at the site which extended through early 2022. The final phase of the remedial design has been defined and another amendment to the Project Agreement between U.S. Steel and GLNPO was executed in December 2021. Execution of this final phase is in progress and is expected to extend through 2023. USS' portion of additional, design, oversight costs, and implementation of all three phases of the preferred remedial alternative on the upland property and Estuary are currently estimated as of September 30, 2022 at approximately $37 million.

Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) and Other Remediation Sites

U. S. Steel may be liable for remediation costs under other environmental statutes, both federal and state, or where private parties are seeking to impose liability on U. S. Steel for remediation costs through discussions or litigation. There are nine such sites where remediation is being sought involving amounts in excess of $1 million. Based on currently available information, which is in many cases preliminary and incomplete, management believes that liability for cleanup and remediation costs in connection with five sites may involve remediation costs between $1 million and $5 million per site and four sites are estimated to, or could have, costs for remediation, investigation, restoration or compensation in excess of $5 million per site.

For more information on the status of remediation activities at U. S. Steel’s significant sites, see the discussions below.

Gary Works

On October 23, 1998, the U.S. EPA issued a final Administrative Order on Consent addressing Corrective Action for Solid Waste Management Units (each, an SWMU and, collectively, the SWMUs) throughout Gary Works. This Order on Consent requires U.

-43-

S. Steel to perform an RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI), a Corrective Measures Study and Corrective Measure Implementation. Evaluations are underway at six groundwater areas on the east side of the facility. A remedial groundwater treatment system has been operating at one of the six areas since 2021. An Interim Stabilization Measure work plan was recently approved by the U.S. EPA for a second area and a contractor has begun installation of the remedial system. Until the remaining Phase I work and Phase II field investigations are completed, it is not possible to assess what additional expenditures will be necessary for Corrective Action projects at Gary Works. In total, the accrued liability for Corrective Action projects is approximately $31 million as of September 30, 2022, based on our current estimate of known remaining costs.

Geneva Works

At U. S. Steel’s former Geneva Works, liability for environmental remediation, including the closure of three hazardous waste impoundments and facility-wide corrective action, has been allocated between U. S. Steel and the current property owner pursuant to an agreement and a permit issued by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Having completed the investigation on a majority of the remaining areas identified in the permit, U. S. Steel had determined the most effective means to address the remaining impacted material was to manage those materials in a previously approved on-site Corrective Action Management Unit (the CAMU). U. S. Steel awarded a contract for the implementation of the CAMU during the fourth quarter of 2018. Construction, waste stabilization and placement, along with closure of the CAMU, were substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Work at the site is now primarily focused on groundwater. U. S. Steel has an accrued liability of approximately $19 million as of September 30, 2022 for our estimated share of the remaining costs of remediation at the site.

USS-UPI LLC

In February 2020, U. S. Steel purchased the remaining 50 percent interest in USS-POSCO Industries, a former joint venture that is located in Pittsburg, California between subsidiaries of U. S. Steel and POSCO, now known as USS-UPI, LLC. Prior to formation of the joint venture, UPI's facilities were previously owned and operated solely by U. S. Steel, which assumed responsibility for the existing environmental conditions. U. S. Steel continues to monitor the impacts of the remedial plan implemented in 2016 to address groundwater impacts from trichloroethylene at SWMU 4. Evaluations continue for the SWMUs, known as the Northern Boundary Group, and it is likely that corrective measures will be required, but it is not possible at this time to define a scope or estimate costs for what may be required by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. As such, there has been no material change in the status of the project during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, approximately $1 million has been accrued for ongoing environmental studies, investigations and remedy monitoring. Significant additional costs associated with this site are possible and are referenced in Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements “Contingencies and Commitments - Environmental Matters - Remediation Projects - Projects with Ongoing Study and Scope Development.”

Fairfield Works

A consent decree was signed by U. S. Steel, the U.S EPA and the DOJ and filed with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (United States of America v. USX Corporation) in December 1997. In accordance with the consent decree, U. S. Steel initiated an RCRA corrective action program at the Fairfield Works facility. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management, with the approval of the U.S. EPA, assumed primary responsibility for regulation and oversight of the RCRA corrective action program at Fairfield Works. While work continues on different aspects of the program, there has been no material change in the status of the project during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In total, the accrued liability for remaining work under the Corrective Action Program, was approximately $391,000 as of September 30, 2022. Significant additional costs associated with this site are possible and are referenced in Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements “Contingencies and Commitments - Environmental Matters - Remediation Projects - Projects with Ongoing Study and Scope Development.”

Cherryvale (KS) Zinc

In April 2003, U. S. Steel and Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. entered into a Consent Order with the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) concerning a former zinc smelting operation in Cherryvale, Kansas. Remediation of the site proper was essentially completed in 2007. The Consent Order was amended on May 3, 2013 to require investigation (but not remediation) of potential contamination beyond the boundary of the former zinc smelting operation. On November 22, 2016, KDHE approved a State Cooperative Final Agency Decision Statement that identified the remedy selected to address potential contamination beyond the boundary of the former zinc smelting site. The Removal Action Design Plan was approved during the second quarter of 2018. The Waste Deposition Area design and the Interim Risk Management Plan (which includes institutional controls) were approved by KDHE during the fourth quarter of 2018. An amended consent order for remediation was signed in May 2019 and a remediation contract was executed in June 2019. Remediation work is now underway and is projected to continue through 2022. U. S. Steel has an accrued liability of approximately $1.3 million as of September 30, 2022 for our estimated share of the cost of remediation.

Air Related Matters

Great Lakes Works

-44-

In June 2010, the U.S. EPA significantly lowered the primary NAAQS for SO2 from 140 ppb on a 24-hour basis to an hourly standard of 75 ppb. Based upon the 2009-2011 ambient air monitoring data, the U.S. EPA designated the area in which Great Lakes Works is located as nonattainment with the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.

As a result, pursuant to the CAA, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) was required to submit an SIP to the U.S. EPA that demonstrates that the entire nonattainment area (and not just the monitor) would be in attainment by October 2018 by using conservative air dispersion modeling. To develop the SIP, U. S. Steel met with EGLE on multiple occasions and had offered reduction plans to EGLE but the parties could not agree to a plan. EGLE instead promulgated Rule 430, which was solely directed at U. S. Steel. The Company challenged Rule 430 before the Michigan Court of Claims, which by Order dated October 4, 2017 granted the Company’s motion for summary disposition voiding Rule 430 finding that it violated rule-making provisions of the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act and Michigan Constitution. Since Rule 430 has been invalidated and EGLE's SIP has not been approved, the U.S. EPA has indicated that it would promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) pursuant to its obligations and authority under the CAA. On January 28, 2022, U.S. EPA promulgated a final rule in the Federal Register finding that the Detroit nonattainment area failed to attain the 2010 sulfur dioxide national ambient air quality standard. On February 15, 2022, the Northern District of California District Court entered a Consent Decree in Center for Biological Diversity, et al. v. Michael S. Regan, that requires the EPA to promulgate a final FIP for the Detroit area no later than September 30, 2022. On June 1, 2022, EPA proposed a FIP for sulfur dioxide for the Detroit area. On July 18, 2022, U.

S. Steel provided comments to the EPA on the proposed FIP. On September 30, 2022, the EPA Administrator signed a final FIP that is substantially the same as the propose FIP, imposing limits on U. S. Steel and EES Coke sources. Based upon a preliminary review of the FIP, the impacts to the Company are not anticipated to be material.

Granite City Works

In October 2015, Granite City Works received a Violation Notice from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the IEPA) in which the IEPA alleges that U. S. Steel violated the emission limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds from the Basic Oxygen Furnace Electrostatic Precipitator Stack. In addition, the IEPA alleges that U. S. Steel exceeded its natural gas usage limit at its CoGeneration Boiler. U. S. Steel responded to the notice and is currently discussing resolution of the matter with IEPA.

Although discussions with IEPA regarding the foregoing alleged violations are ongoing and the resolution of these matters is uncertain at this time, it is not anticipated that the result of those discussions will be material to U. S. Steel.

Minnesota Ore Operations

On February 6, 2013, the U.S. EPA published an FIP that applies to taconite facilities in Minnesota. An FIP establishes and requires emission limits and the use of low NOx reduction technology on indurating furnaces as Best Available Retrofit Technology. While U. S. Steel installed low NOx burners on three furnaces at Minntac and is currently obligated to install low NOx burners on the two other furnaces at Minntac pursuant to existing agreements and permits, the rule would require the installation of a low NOx burner on the one furnace at Keetac for which U. S. Steel did not have an otherwise existing obligation. U. S. Steel estimates expenditures associated with the installation of low NOx burners of as much as $25 million to $30 million. In 2013, U. S. Steel filed a petition for administrative reconsideration to the U.S. EPA and a petition for judicial review of the 2013 FIP and denial of the Minnesota SIP to the Eighth Circuit. In April 2016, the U.S. EPA promulgated a revised FIP with the same substantive requirements for U. S. Steel. In June 2016, U. S. Steel filed a petition for administrative reconsideration of the 2016 FIP to the U.S. EPA and a petition for judicial review of the 2016 FIP before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. While the proceedings regarding the petition for judicial review of the 2013 FIP remained stayed, oral arguments regarding the petition for judicial review of the 2016 FIP were heard by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 15, 2017. Thus, both petitions for judicial review remain with the Eighth Circuit. On December 4, 2017, the U.S. EPA published a notification in the Federal Register in which the U.S. EPA denied U. S. Steel’s administrative petitions for reconsideration and stay of the 2013 FIP and 2016 FIP. On February 1, 2018, U. S. Steel filed a petition for judicial review of the U.S. EPA’s denial of the administrative petitions for reconsideration to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S. EPA and U. S. Steel reached a settlement regarding the five indurating lines at Minntac. After proposing a revised FIP and responding to public comments, on March 2, 2021, the U.S. EPA promulgated a final revised FIP incorporating the conditions and limits for Minntac to which the parties agreed. U. S. Steel and the U.S. EPA continue to negotiate resolution for Keetac.

Mon Valley Works

On November 9, 2017, the U.S. EPA Region III and ACHD jointly issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) regarding the Company’s Edgar Thomson facility in Braddock, Pennsylvania. In addition, on November 20, 2017, ACHD issued a separate, but related, NOV to the Company regarding the Edgar Thomson facility. In the NOVs, based upon their inspections and review of documents collected, the agencies allege that the Company has violated the CAA by exceeding the allowable visible emission standards from certain operations during isolated events. In addition, the agencies allege that the Company has violated certain maintenance, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. U. S. Steel met with the U.S. EPA Region III and ACHD several times. On May 17, 2022, the DOJ, EPA Region III and the ACHD filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and lodged a proposed Consent Decree negotiated in good faith between U. S. Steel, DOJ, EPA Region III, and ACHD that will resolve this matter. If the Consent Decree is approved by the Court, U. S. Steel will pay a civil penalty of up to $1,500,000, subject to partial offset by funding a Supplemental Environmental Project, and implement various forms of

-45-

injunctive relief. The public comment period for the Consent Decree has passed, and U. S. Steel awaits the DOJ’s Motion to Enter the Consent Decree as Final.

On December 24, 2018, U. S. Steel's Clairton Plant experienced a fire, affecting portions of the facility involved in desulfurization of the coke oven gas generated during the coking process. With the desulfurization process out of operation as a result of the fire, U. S. Steel was not able to certify compliance with Clairton Plant’s Title V permit levels for sulfur emissions. U. S. Steel promptly notified ACHD, which has regulatory jurisdiction for the Title V permit, and updated the ACHD regularly on efforts to mitigate any potential environmental impacts until the desulfurization process was returned to normal operations. Of the approximately 2,400 hours between the date of the fire and April 4, 2019, when the Company resumed desulfurization, there were ten intermittent hours where average SO2 emissions exceeded the hourly NAAQS for SO2 at the Allegheny County regional air quality monitors located in Liberty and North Braddock boroughs, which are near U. S. Steel's Mon Valley Works facilities. On February 13, 2019, PennEnvironment and Clean Air Council, both environmental, non-governmental organizations, sent U. S. Steel a 60-day notice of intent to sue letter pursuant to the CAA. The letter alleged Title V permit violations at the Clairton, Irvin, and Edgar Thomson facilities as a result of the December 24, 2018 Clairton Plant fire. The 60-day notice letter also alleged that the violations caused adverse public health and welfare impacts to the communities surrounding the Clairton, Irvin, and Edgar Thomson facilities. PennEnvironment and Clean Air Council subsequently filed a Complaint in Federal Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania on April 29, 2019 to which U. S. Steel has responded. On May 3, 2019, ACHD filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit which was granted by the Court. On June 25, 2019, ACHD filed its Complaint in Intervention, seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties regarding the alleged Permit violations following the December 24, 2018 fire. Fact and Expert discovery has been completed, and pre-trial motion briefing has been submitted to the court. The court heard oral arguments on the motions including the Plaintiffs’ Motions for Summary Judgment and on March 31, 2022, the Court denied all pre-trial motions. Trial in this matter is currently scheduled to begin on April 26, 2023. The Company will continue to vigorously defend against the matter.

On March 2, 2022, the Company received a stipulated penalty demand for $859,300 from the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) pursuant to the June 2019 Settlement Agreement and Order (SAO) between the Company and ACHD. In the demand notice, ACHD alleges that based upon daily visible emission observation inspections occurring April 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company’s Clairton plant violated applicable opacity standards from coke battery fugitive emission sources. The Company disagrees with the bases for the demand. The Company has initiated dispute resolution in accordance with the SAO and is attempting to reach a negotiated resolution of the matter.

On March 7, 2022, the Company received an enforcement order from the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) that includes a civil penalty demand for $1,842,539. In the Order, the ACHD alleges that the Company’s Clairton plant is solely and entirely culpable for 153 alleged exceedances of the Pennsylvania hydrogen sulfide ambient air standard that are reported to have occurred during January 1, 2020 through March 1, 2022. The Company disagrees with the bases for the demand. On April 5, 2022, the Company appealed the Order and is vigorously defending the matter. On September 1, 2022, after conferring with ACHD and the Company, the ACHD Hearing Officer issued an order requiring discovery to be completed by June 1, 2023 with a hearing date of September 18, 2023.

On March 24, 2022, the Company received an enforcement order from the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) that includes a civil penalty demand for $4,570,500 for alleged air permit violations occurring between January 1, 2020 through March 15, 2022 regarding the Company’s Clairton plant’s coke oven pushing emission control systems. The Company disagrees with the bases for the demand and has appealed the Order. On September 1, 2022, after conferring with ACHD and the Company, the ACHD Hearing Officer issued an order requiring discovery to be completed by June 1, 2023 with a hearing date of September 25, 2023.

Water Related Matters

On April 11, 2017, there was a process waste-water release at our Midwest Plant (Midwest) in Portage, Indiana, that impacted a water outfall that discharges to Burns Waterway near Lake Michigan. The Company has since implemented substantial operational, process and notification improvements at Midwest. On April 2, 2018, the U.S. EPA and the State of Indiana initiated an action and lodged a Consent Decree negotiated between U. S. Steel and the relevant governmental agencies consisting of all material terms to resolve the CWA and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) violations at the Midwest Plant. While the Consent Decree was being negotiated, in January of 2018, The Surfrider Foundation and the City of Chicago initiated citizen suits in the Northern District of Indiana alleging Clean Water Act (CWA) and permit violations at Midwest. The citizen suits were stayed pending resolution and entry of the Consent Decree, and both the Surfriders Foundation and the City of Chicago intervened in the Consent Decree action. On August 31, 2021, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana issued an Opinion and Order entering the Consent Decree. The Company filed a Motion to Lift the Stay in the citizen suits as well as Motions to Dismiss the citizen suits on December 15, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the Court granted Company’s Motion to Lift the Stay in the citizen suits. On September 23, 2022, the Court entered an order and opinion granting U. S. Steel’s Motion to Dismiss the Surfrider and City of Chicago CWA claims with prejudice. The Court also declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the City of Chicago’s negligence claim, dismissing it without prejudice and gave the City of Chicago 30 days to refile. The Company is vigorously defending the matter.

On February 7, 2020, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) issued an Amended Notice of Violation and Proposed Agreed Order related to alleged NPDES permit water discharge violations at Midwest during the period of November 2018 through December 2019 unrelated to the violations resolved in the Consent Decree. On May 11, 2021, IDEM and U. S.
