- First quarter 2023 net earnings of $199 million, or $0.78
per diluted share
- First quarter 2023 adjusted net earnings of $195 million, or
$0.77 per diluted share
- First quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $427 million
United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) reported first quarter
2023 net earnings of $199 million, or $0.78 per diluted share.
Adjusted net earnings was $195 million, or $0.77 per diluted share
and excludes stock-based compensation expense of $8 million, net of
taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share that had previously been reported
in the North American Flat-Rolled segment and other one-time items
detailed in the reconciliation of adjusted net earnings table. The
exclusion of stock-based compensation expense was not contemplated
at the time of our March 16, 2023 guidance press release. This
compares to first quarter 2022 net earnings of $882 million, or
$3.02 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings for the first
quarter 2022 was $910 million, or $3.11 per diluted share and
excluded the impact of one-time items detailed in the
reconciliation of adjusted net earnings table.
Commenting on the first quarter's performance, U. S. Steel
President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt said, “We
delivered another strong quarter. Each of our operating segments
exceeded expectations. We generated positive investable free cash
flow of $25 million before supporting $582 million of high return
strategic capital expenditures and continued direct returns in the
quarter.”
Burritt continued, “Our focus on being the best partner for our
customers through best operations has amplified the benefits of an
improved market and more market share gains that we expect to
continue through 2023. This momentum is expected to deliver even
stronger second quarter results from higher steel prices."
Burritt concluded, “In spite of inflationary pressures, we are
pleased to report our strategic projects are on-track to meet or
improve upon key milestones each quarter and deliver returns well
above our weighted average cost of capital. We’ve begun cold
commissioning critical components of our new non-grain oriented
electrical steel line at Big River Steel to produce the first coil
as planned later this summer. Big River 2, our new mini mill with
even more capabilities, and our new galvanize/GALVALUME® line,
remain on-track for 2024. Together, with our current Big River
Steel footprint, we are creating the next generation of sustainable
mini mill steelmaking in the U.S. and transforming our business
model to generate more consistent cash flow to continue capability
building and higher returns for our investors.”

(a) The prior year was retroactively
adjusted to reflect the reclassification of stock-based
compensation expense. The adjustment was $8 million and $12
million, net of taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively.
(b) The tax impact of adjusted items for
the three months ended March 31, 2023 is calculated using a blended
tax rate of 24%. The tax impact of adjusted items for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 is calculated using a blended tax rate
of 25%.
Note: The reported net earnings
attributable to U. S. Steel for the three months ended March 31,
2022 includes an income tax benefit of $7 million from the reversal
of net valuation allowances. The item was presented as an
adjustment to arrive at adjusted net earnings attributable to U. S.
Steel in the prior period presentation. The reconciliation for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 presented above has been recast
to reflect the removal of the adjustment in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission guidance.

We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per
diluted share, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP
measures, as additional measurements to enhance the understanding
of our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, considered
along with net earnings, is a relevant indicator of trends relating
to our operating performance and provides management and investors
with additional information for comparison of our operating results
to the operating results of other companies.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted
share are non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of items that
include: restructuring and other charges, stock-based compensation
expense, VEBA asset surplus adjustment, tax impact of adjusted
items and other charges, net (Adjustment Items). Adjusted EBITDA is
also a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain
Adjustment Items. We present adjusted net earnings, adjusted net
earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to enhance the
understanding of our ongoing operating performance and established
trends affecting our core operations by excluding the effects of
events that can obscure underlying trends. U. S. Steel's management
considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted
share and adjusted EBITDA as alternative measures of operating
performance and not alternative measures of the Company's
liquidity. U. S. Steel’s management considers adjusted net
earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share and adjusted
EBITDA useful to investors by facilitating a comparison of our
operating performance to the operating performance of our
competitors. Additionally, the presentation of adjusted net
earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share and adjusted
EBITDA provides insight into management’s view and assessment of
the Company’s ongoing operating performance because management does
not consider the Adjustment Items when evaluating the Company’s
financial performance. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings
per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a
substitute for net earnings, earnings per diluted share or other
financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is
not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies.
We also present free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure of cash
generated from operations after any investing activity and
investable free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure of cash generated
from operations, after any investing activity adjusted for
strategic capital expenditures. We believe that free and investable
cash flow provides further insight into the Company's overall
utilization of cash. A condensed consolidated statement of
operations (unaudited), condensed consolidated cash flow statement
(unaudited), condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) and
preliminary supplemental statistics (unaudited) for U. S. Steel are
attached.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This release 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 or financial 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 the
global economic environment, including supply and demand
conditions, inflation, interest rates, supply chain disruptions and
changes in 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, statements
regarding existing or new regulations and statements expressing
general views about future operating results. However, the absence
of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a
statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are
not historical facts, but instead represent only the Company’s
beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature,
are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. It
is possible that the Company’s actual results and financial
condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated
results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking
statements. Management believes that these forward-looking
statements are reasonable as of the time made. However, caution
should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of
the date when made. Our Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except
as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from our Company's historical
experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and
uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and those
described from time to time in our future reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
