[Fellow]Total steel shipments for 1H 2019 were 44.6 million metric tonnes representing an increase of 3.5% as compared to 1H 2018.

[Ferro-Alloys.comArcelorMittal, the world’s leading integrated steel and mining company, announced results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019.

Total steel shipments for 1H 2019 were 44.6 million metric tonnes representing an increase of 3.5% as compared to 1H 2018.

Sales for 1H 2019 decreased by 1.8% to $38.5 billion as compared with $39.2 billion for 1H 2018, primarily due to lower average steel selling prices (-6.1%) offset in part by higher steel shipments (+3.5%).

Operating income for 1H 2019 was lower at $0.6 billion as compared to $3.9 billion in 1H 2018 primarily driven by impairments as discussed above, as well as weaker operating conditions (negative price-cost effect in steel segments) reflecting both the impact of the decline in steel prices since 4Q 2018 and higher raw material costs offset in part by improved mining segment performance.
