Economic Scenario

The global economy is growing at a slower pace than what was expected for 2014. TheInternational Monetary Fund, IMF, expects that global economic growth reach 3.3% in 2014,stable if compared with 2013. The weaker growth is due to the worst performance of the leadingcountries in the Eurozone, Japan and some emerging countries, such as Brazil.

The potential average growth of developing countries in 2014 is 4.4%, highlighting China with7.4% and Brazil with 0.3 %, according to IMF forecasts.

Economic activity in Brazil has shown a weak growth since early 2014, due to structural factorssuch as inefficient infrastructure, high interest rates and low competitiveness in the industry, whichcontribute to lower investments. The Brazilian industry has been facing a difficult scenario due toweaker consumption, low investment, high inventories and low consumer and business confidence.According to the Focus Report, from Brazilian Central Bank, the Industrial GDP is forecast torecede 1.3% this year.

Steel Industry

According to the World Steel Association, WSA, global crude steel production reached 1,231 milliontons until September, 2.0% higher than the same period of the previous year, with Chineseproduction, which has a 50% share of global production, advancing 1.9%. The global capacityutilization rate reached 76.1%, 260 basis points lower than September, 2013. Therefore, excesscapacity persists, negatively affecting profitability conditions in the global steel industry.

In Brazil, crude steel production reached 25.5 million tons until September, a decrease of 1.3%when compared with the same period of 2013. According to the Brazilian Steel Institute, IABr, flatsteel production decreased 5.1% in that period.

The flat steel market in Brazil consumed 3.3 million tons in the 3Q14, of which 18.8% of thevolume was supplied by imports. Comparing the 3Q14 with the 2Q14, apparent consumptiondeclined 5.0%, representing a retraction in all products lines.

Among the industrial sectors, those that are intensive in steel consumption had an even moresignificant decline. In the first 8 months of the year, the production of capital goods and durablegoods decreased 8.8% and 10.3%, respectively. Among them, the production of vehicles is one ofthe negative results. According to the Brazilian Automotive Manufacturers Entity (ANFAVEA), theproduction decreased 16.8% until September, if compared with the same period of last year. Thedecrease in exports, mainly of vehicles and autoparts, reached 15.1% in the same period. Thus,according to the IABr and the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), theindirect steel trade balance accounted for was 1.9 million tons in the first 9 months of the year, the

highest deficit in history.The Steel Distributors National Association (INDA) estimates that flat steel sales in the distributionnetwork increased 3.4% in the 3Q14, in comparison with the 2Q14 and decreased 11.2% incomparison with the same quarter of previous year. Inventories were stable at around 1.1 milliontons and the inventory turnover rate decreased to 2.9 months.

Mining

The reduction in the Chinese demand and abundant supply of iron ore pressured its pricesstrongly, which reached, on average, of US$90.2/t in the 3Q14, against US$102.6/t in the 2Q14(62% Fe, CFR China). The iron ore price reached even lower levels, quoted at US$77.80/t on09/30/14.

Operational and Sales Performance

In the 3Q14, production volume was 1.4 million tons, 8.3% lower than that in the 2Q14, in line

with the Companys strategy of balancing production with sales.

Sales volume in the 3Q14 was 1.2 million tons, a decline of 15.1% in comparison with the2Q14, in function of not having exports volume and of the weak third party demand in thedomestic market. Iron ore volume destined to the Ipatinga and Cubato plants was 1.0 milliontons, 5.1% higher than in the 2Q14.

Production and sales volumes are shown in the following chart:

Comments on the Business Unit Results Mining

Net revenue in the Mining Unit accounted for in the 3Q14 was R$107.4 million, a 47.0% decreasewhen compared with the 2Q14, which was R$202.7 million, due to lower sales volume and lower

iron ore prices in the market. The Platts price reference, adjusted for the period of sales pricingregarding the Mining Unit, (CFR China 62% Fe), reached an average price of US$94/t in the 3Q14compared with US$110/t in the 2Q14, representing a decline of 14.5%.

In the 3Q14, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled R$118.8 million, 9.4% lower in relation to the2Q14, mainly due a decrease in sales volume. COGS per ton increased R$6.0/t due a reduction inthe dilution of fixed cost, as a result of the ramp up of the flotation plant, which has not reachedfull capacity due to the current logistic restrictions to exporting iron ore. Fixed costs of the MiningUnit represented approximately 60% of total COGS.

Thus, in the 3Q14, there was a gross loss of R$11.5 million against gross profit of R$71.6 million inthe 2Q14. Gross margin was negative in 10.7% against a positive margin of 35.3% in the previousquarter.

In the 3Q14, sales expenses totaled R$10.9 million, against R$20.2 million in the 2Q14,representing a decrease of 46.0%, in function of not having exports volume in the period.General and administrative expenses in the 3Q14 totaled R$9.3 million, 26.4% lower than thosein the 2Q14, due to a reduction in administrative and labor expenses. Net operating expenses inthe 3Q14 were R$11.8 million, while in the 2Q14, they were R$35.2 million, representing adecrease of 66.6%. In the 3Q14, sales revenue of surplus electrical energy totaled R$9.4 million,against R$8.3 million in the 2Q14.

Thus, in the 3Q14, Adjusted EBITDA was R$11.4 million, 83.0% lower than in the 2Q14, whichwas R$67.0 million, corresponding to a 10.6% EBITDA margin.
