2. Execution of Management Action Plan 2
◦ Production optimisation
◦ Shutdown of inefficient capacity
◦ Shift of production to semi-finished products, where demand is relatively high
◦ Take advantage of flexibility between billet and slab production depending on market
situation
◦ Full utilisation of available capacity in Russia (13.2 mtpa of crude steel)
◦ Cost saving measures
◦ Cash cost of one tonne of semi-finished steel products in Russia decreased by 35%
◦ Labour costs decreased by 32% compared to 1H08
◦ Services and auxiliary materials costs decreased by 42% compared to 1H08
◦ Capex savings
◦ Capex in 1H09 was US$203 million (62% down vs. 1H08) out of US$500m FY2009 guidance
◦ Exit from Cape Lambert Project in Australia
◦ Financial management
◦ US$738m of working capital released in 1H09 in line with our full year guidance to release
US$700m
◦ Total debt decreased to US$8,482m, net debt decreased to US$7,783m as of 30/06/09
US$965m raised from concurrent GDR and convertible bond offerings in July 2009
◦ Additional US$912m short-term debt repayment in July and August
3. Maintaining Cost Leadership 3
◦ Constant review of product and resources flows for potential efficiency gains
◦ Mining segment cash costs have reduced significantly:
◦ Approximately 75% of consolidated cost is rouble denominated
◦ Russian-based assets have benefited from declines in utilities and staff costs

4. Market Improvement since the Beginning of 2009 4
◦ Recovery in prices for semi-finished Prices for Evraz Steel Products

5. 3Q09 Operational Results 5
◦ In 3Q09, consolidated crude steel output increased by 22% vs. 2Q09 reflecting overall higher
production volumes at Evraz’s steel mills (except for Ukraine)
◦ Production volumes of rolled products rose on the back of better demand than in 2Q09
◦ Russia +23%
◦ Europe +38%
◦ North America +8%
◦ South Africa +5%
◦ Growth of production in all major product segments vs. 2Q09 except for railway products in
Russia and North America and tubular products in North America

6. 3Q09 Production/Steel: Russia 6
◦ Destocking in Russian domestic market completed
◦ Domestic demand for construction steel picked up in since July
◦ Russian government infrastructure spending, potentially a major driver of demand for
construction steel and railway products, is unlikely to have significant impact this year
due to seasonality

◦ Stability of demand for large diameter pipes in Canada due to long contracts
◦ Destocking in the market is largely over with apparent demand remaining distinctly
limited
◦ Well-positioned to benefit from expected government infrastructure investments

10. Summary 10
◦ Recovery in global demand for semi-finished steel allowed us to fully utilise Russian
steelmaking starting from 1 July 2009
◦ Consistent execution of management action plan brought significant cost savings and
working capital release
◦ Company continues its focus on maintaining low costs position and preserving cash
◦ CAPEX is reduced to maintenance level, dividend payments will only resume upon
deleveraging and clear signs of market recovery
◦ Continuous decrease of overall debt level, replacement of short-term debt by longer-term
maturities
◦ Compliance with all financial covenants, proactive approach to potential covenant
compliance issue in relation to FY2009 results
◦ End of destocking in our key markets, alongside recovery in prices and volumes, makes us
confident of achieving better results in the second half of 2009
