In spite of the Ukraine crisis, the steel output from CIS is down by 2.8% from last year, but Russia keeps an increase of 2.61%. In 2014, China’s crude steel output is 823 million tons, up by 0.9% from last year, which is the lowest increase range in the past 30 years. In 2014, China’s crude steel (reduced amount) apparent consumption is 739 million tons, down by 26 million tons from last year, which is a decrease of 3.4%, and is the first drop since 1996. considering stockpile, actual consumption of crude steel in 2014 is 750 million tons, almost the same level from last year. In the new situation, actual consumption of steel has entered the peak time. In 2014, China’s iron ore import is 933 million tons, up by 13.8% from last year. Iron ore price keeps going down. By end of 2014, 62% powder ore price is 71.75 USD/ton, down by 46.8% from last year. The price of steel products also goes plummeting. By end of December, the price index of steel product is 83.09, down by 16.05 from year beginning. Thanks to the sharp price decrease of raw material and cost cut of steel companies, the overall profitability of the industry is improved, but the benefit space brought by the price cut of raw material is offset by the steel price. The profitability of the industry is relatively lower. Reason for export increase in 2014: stable increase of global market demand; steel companies make technical innovation, process optimization, cost cut and efficiency improvement and enhanced product competitiveness; continuous increase of traditional export market, sound increase in newly-developed regions; increase of new product export.

II. Overview and outlook of iron & steel industry in 2015 2. Mounting environmental protection pressure, reducing productivity and phasing out backward productivity are at final stage • New environmental protection law and regulations since Jan. 1st 2015; • Environmental protection law • Measures for environmental protection bodies to close down companies and confiscate products • Measures for environmental protection bodies to limit production and stop production for rectification • Measures for companies and institution to disclose information on environmental protection • Measures for investigating into urgent environmental incidents In March 2015, MEP works on a taskforce for air pollution cases in Linxi, Shandong Province. In the same month, Linxi announced to investigate into 18 malpractice of 8 companies. They are order to stop production immediately, re-apply for EIA procedure within time limit, rectify illegal practice on the spot and pay fines over 1.17 million RMB. The facilities, equipments that cause pollutant discharge in Sande Special Steel Co. Ltd., Jiangxin Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. And the Shengyang Group Co., Ltd. are confiscated by law. The malpractice cases of the three companies were transferred to public security bodies. The standard for iron & steel discharge is effective since Jan. 1st 2015. Compared with past standards, it has the following features: （1）Wide scope：including iron & steel and coking production process; （2）More pollutant control items：28 water pollutants, 19 pollutants, emission limit for NOx and Dioxin is added; heavy metal and toxic pollutant are added in water pollution （3）High indicators：significant higher limit value for smoke and dust emission density and SO2 （4）Special discharge limit value：special discharge limit value is set down for newly-constructed projects and environmentsensitive areas II.

Financing scale 21.77 billion USD, largest IPO in US Stocks issued: 320 million Total equity: 2571 million stocks II. Overview and outlook of iron & steel industry in 2015 4. Steel export in new normal • Global economic growth Considering the resource and environment, China’s steel industry always sticks to meeting domestic demand. The Chinese government doesn’t encourage low-end steel export. Since Jan. 1st 2015, the government eliminates the tax rebate for certain boron steel products. • With the recovery of global economy, steel demand in the world is also increasing. In 2014, in addition to boron steel, the export of other steel products also enjoy significant growth. According to OECD, global economic growth in 2015 is higher than 2014. The steel export in 2015 is expected to stay at higher level. Globalization of steel industry is accelerating Global market competition helps to improve product quality Overseas marketing service capacity is enhanced Understand global market demand and promote new product R&D Product export, service export, overseas investment 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 Macro economy and policy environment Global market demand is growing More favorable global competition, Sino-Korean, Sino-Australian free trade agreements; Sino-ASEAN free trade negotiation; Trade facilitation measures China’s steel output accounts for half of global total. The export growth is accelerating in recent year, and it’s normal to encounter trade friction during export. Adjusting the export pace and export category is an integral part for transforming China’s steel sector and industry structure, but the adjustment takes time. II. Overview and outlook of iron & steel industry in 2015A 4. Steel export in new normal • • The export of certain low added-value products affect the overall 16 reputation of China’s steel products 14 Further research is needed for understanding global market rules and international laws • Number of relief cases of main steel trade Broader space to explore in working with foreign industries 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 2014年 Trade interest conflict is intensifying 2013年 2012年 2011年 2010年 2009年 2008年 2007年 2006年 2005年 •Responding to local market demand, transformation and upgrade, restructuring and innovation drive •Encouraging and developing new type of export marketing mode Trade interest conflict is intensifying- trade friction is intensifying •Dialogue with the sector is a prime choice for dealing with trade friction Development mode conflict is intensifying – tackling trade friction is more difficult •Further improving sector early-warning and self-discipline mechanism Global market competition is intensifying – dealing with trade friction is more important •Setting up mutually-beneficial and win-win friendly partnership with foreign industries through multiple approaches II. Overview and outlook of iron & steel industry in 2015 • China’s economy is shifting from high growth to mid-high growth. Economic growth is transforming from investment-driven to consumption-driven, growth power is moving from traditional industry to high technology. Throughout this process, economic structure continue to optimize, raising new requirement on steel product type, quality and service capacity of steel companies and bringing in new demand. Steel companies have to follow the economic restructuring pace to adjust their own structure and achieve transformation and upgrade; • New environmental protection law, new standard for pollutant discharge in steel industries are implemented, environmental monitoring and supervision are intensified, enforcement is enhanced, environmental pressures on companies is mounting. It is a must trend for steel companies to increase investment in environmental protection; • Internet + steel mode brings impact on traditional trade and distribution mode. It also brings transformation to the operating mode of the industry, and offers new opportunity and challenge for it. • With the recovery of global economy and the growing global steel demand, the steel export in 2015 is expected to stay at relatively high level. As a major steel exporter, China suffers from frequent trade friction, which is also a new normal. China’s steel industry always follow the path of establishing mutually-beneficial, win-win friendly partnership with foreign industries, which is the foundation for solving trade friction. Dialogue with the industry is a prime choice for dealing with trade friction. China’s steel industry needs to improve its self-discipline mechanism and properly resolve the trade friction.
