Alexander Frolov, Evraz Group's Chairman and CEO, commented:
"Evraz, led by its results-driven international management team, reported
another strong financial year. Together with the successful integration of our
new assets and the organic growth of our existing plants we have achieved record
results in our business. Our solid platform positions the company for an even
better performance in 2008.
In 2007, the growing world steel markets, and in particular the booming Russian
market, supported our strong product pricing, and our improved product mix
helped us gain additional profit.
Evraz continued to build its global business model. We expanded our geographic
reach through several milestone acquisitions in line with our strategy of a
continued growth through the acquisition and the development of high-value
downstream facilities. Having acquired Oregon Steel Mills at the beginning of
last year, we laid the foundation of our U.S. plate business. The acquisition
of Claymont Steel at the end of the year represents yet another significant step
in the implementation of our global strategy.
Through the acquisition of Highveld Steel and Vanadium Corporation, Evraz gained
valuable access to the South African steel sector, which is driven by strong
demand growth and supported by new mining, infrastructure and industrial
projects. In addition, the acquisition also allows Evraz Group to become an
important player in the worldwide vanadium market.
We acquired the additional 50% of Yuzhkuzbassugol, a Russian coking and steam
coal producer, increasing our ownership to 100%, established a full operative
control over it, stabilised its operations which were affected by serious
accidents at its two mines earlier in the year and restored rigid standards of
work safety at all the mines of the group. This transaction goes in line with
our strategy to build a vertically integrated steel business self-sufficient in
key raw materials - coal and iron ore.
In 2007, we addressed a few operational issues and matters related to safety
performance and environmental compliance at our Russian facilities. We closed
blast furnace No. 1 at Zapsib for a scheduled major reline in the middle of the
year, bringing its production back in just 106 days, and continued a converter
shop reconstruction at NTMK. We completed an important project that entailed
shutting down an inefficient and highly air polluting open hearth production at
NKMK.
We realised a number of restructuring and cost saving initiatives at our
business units including the outsourcing of non-core services and operations,
including the continuing programme for the optimisation of the group's headcount
and debottlenecking operational processes in order to maximise existing plants'
productivity,resulting in increased iron ore production at our Russian iron ore
mines of an additional 3% and increased vanadium slag production at NTMK of 7%.
We successfully completed the buyout of all outstanding minority common stock of
Evraz's major Russian production companies at offer prices consistent with
international best practices of corporate governance. This corporate initiative
was an important step in the simplification and optimisation of the Company's
ownership and management structures, as well as making it possible for us to
more effectively align all business processes and strategic management decisions
within the group.
In line with our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of business conduct
and corporate governance, the Board approved corporate codes and a set of
internal policies which further enhanced the overall transparency and
accountability of our business."
Commenting on the outlook for 2008 and beyond Alexander Frolov said:
"Despite the global challenges following on the uncertainties in the world's
financial markets, Evraz is confident about its prospects for 2008. The market
outlook for steel appears robust: the global demand for steel products is
growing amid capacity constraints and structurally limited supply in some
regions and as a consequence steel products prices are strong. Raw materials
cost increases create additional opportunities for Evraz. Being a vertically
integrated producer, Evraz is largely protected from increasing costs of raw
materials.
We have leveraged the operations in our key market, Russia, where we continue to
grow. Our goal is to transform Evraz into a truly global business with a
diversified geographic structure.
We are confident in our ability to close successfully the three transactions we
announced recently, i.e. the acquisitions of Delong Hodings, of IPSCO Canada
plate and tubular business and of a number of assets in Ukraine, as well as
successfully integrating the recent acquisitions into the group's business.
We anticipate that our 2008 annual crude steel and steel products output will
reach 18.9 million tonnes and 18.7 million tonnes, respectively. It is
anticipated that Evraz's coal companies will produce approximately 15.1 million
tonnes of coal, including 10.5 million tonnes of coking coal, in 2008.
The Company will stay focused on improving operating performance and managing
costs. US$1,070 million are budgeted for capital investments, including US$545
million for investment projects and US$523 million for maintenance.
In the first half of 2008, Evraz's consolidated revenues are expected to
increase by 60-65% vs. US$6 billion in the first half of 2007, and EBITDA is
expected to grow to approximately US$3 billion."
Summary Results:
Evraz's consolidated revenues increased by 54.5% to US$12,808 million in 2007,
from US$8,292 million in 2006. The steel segment sales accounted for the
majority of the increase in revenues largely due to the improved sales mix and
growth in average prices of steel products. Steel product sales volumes
increased by 3.2% to 16.4 million tonnes in 2007, up from 15.9 million tonnes in
2006.
Steel sales volumes in Russia increased by 8.6% year-on-year from 7.0 million
tonnes in 2006 to 7.6 million tonnes in 2007, while export sales (mainly of
semis) of the Russian operations decreased by 31% for a number of factors.
First, there was a reallocation of the sales volumes to the Russian market.
Then second and with lesser impact the inventory de-stockings in 2007
(approximately 0.1 million tonnes) were considerably less than in 2006
(approximately 0.6 million tonnes). Other contributors included the closures of
inefficient open hearth furnaces and a related blast furnace at NKMK in April
2007 and a maintenance shutdown of a blast furnace at Zapsib in June-October
2007. These decreases were almost fully offset by post-acquisition steel sales
volumes of high value added products at Evraz Oregon Steel Mills (EOSM) and
Highveld.

Total 12,808 100.0% 8,292 100.0% 54.5%
Revenues from sales in Russia increased 41.1% to US$5,952 million. This was due
to higher than average steel prices and steel products being diverted from the
export markets to capitalise on the booming Russian construction market.
In 2007, revenues from non-Russian sales increased in monetary terms to US$6,856
million, or 53.5% as a percentage of total revenues, from US$4,075 million, or
49.1%, in 2006. The main drivers of the growth of revenues outside Russia were
sales of high value added steel products by Evraz Oregon Steel Mills in North
America, increased plate prices in Europe and contribution by Highveld and
Stratcor.
Russian steel segment shipped 12.9 million tonnes of steel products and
generated US$8,240 million in revenue and US$2,646 million in EBITDA.
Post-acquisition revenues and EBITDA amounted to US$1,911 million and US$349
million for EOSM, to US$188 million and US$55 million for Stratcor, and to
US$650 million and US$188 million for Highveld, each respectively. The 2007
revenues and EBITDA of Evraz Vitkovice Steel were US$879 million and US$225
million, respectively; the revenue and EBITDA of Palini e Bertoli amounted to
US$381 million and US$119 million, respectively.
In 2007, consolidated cost of revenues was US$7,875 million or 61.5% of
consolidated revenues, down from 62.3% of consolidated revenues in 2006.
Depreciation increased from US$283 million to US$579 million. Gross profit was
up 57.7% at US$4,933 million from US$3,129 million in 2006.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of
consolidated revenues remained almost flat year-on-year at 9.5%. Depreciation
and amortisation was US$119 million, including amortisation of customer-related
intangible assets in the amount of US$93 million.
Profit from operations increased by 53.3% to US$3,523 million for 2007, from
US$2,298 million in 2006, amounting to 27.5% and 27.7% of consolidated revenues,
respectively.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA rose 61.0% to US$4,254 million, or 33.2% of
consolidated revenues in 2007 compared with US$2,642 million, or 31.9% of
revenues in 2006.
In 2007, foreign exchange loss amounted to US$55 million compared with a gain of
US$48 million in 2006. The 2007 interest expense increased to US$409 million
from US$229 million in 2006 due to higher debt. Evraz's share of profits of
joint ventures and associates was US$88 million compared with US$40 million in
2006.
In 2007, the income tax expense increased to US$984 million which corresponds to
an effective tax rate of 30.7%, slightly up from 30.5% in 2006.
In 2007, the Company reported consolidated net profit attributable to equity
holders of Evraz Group of US$2,144 million vs. US$1,377 million in 2006.

Steel segment revenues in 2007 increased by 52.3% to US$12,433 million from
US$8,161 million 2006. Steel segment revenues benefited from the improved sales
mix of the Russian operations in favour of higher margin products sold in the
Russian market, the positive price dynamics for steel products and the
acquisitions of Stratcor, EOSM and Highveld.
Evraz shifted almost all its export construction products sales to Russia and
CIS and the increase in the proportion of revenues from sales of construction
products reflects substantially higher sales volumes of these products in the
Russian and CIS markets. They were complemented by the additional sales volumes
in North America and South Africa following the acquisitions. The revenue from
Russian and CIS construction products sales grew 68.9% to US$2,896 million from
US$1,715 million in 2006, while North American and South African operations
contributed US$225 million and US$102 million, respectively.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of railway products increased
as a result of the acquisition of EOSM, which contributed 457,000 tonnes to the
volumes of railway products, totalling US$379 million in revenues. Revenues
from sales of railway products in Russia rose by 37.0% to US$1,111 million, with
sales volumes increasing by 12.7%.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of flat-rolled products
increased due to higher sales prices for plate in Europe in 2007 compared to
2006 and additional sales volumes provided by the Group's non-Russian re-rolling
operations.
At present, substantially all tubular products of Evraz are produced at EOSM
facilities. Sales volumes of tubular products by EOSM reached US$694 million
with 652,000 tonnes of shipments.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of semi-finished products
declined significantly to 20.0% in 2007 from 35.0% in 2006, resulting from
substantially lower sales volumes of semis sold by the Russian operations to the
export markets and re-allocation of production capacities towards higher margin
construction and railway products, as well as the additional re-rolling of slab
produced by the Russian operations at downstream operations.
The revenues attributable to sales of vanadium products increased 162.6%
year-on-year from US$222 million to US$583 million as a result of the
acquisitions of Stratcor and Highveld. Sales of vanadium slag by Russian
operations remained approximately at the same level as in 2007.
Steel segment cost of revenues totalled US$8,248 million, or 66.3% of steel
segment revenues in 2007 compared with US$5,493 million, 67.3% of steel segment
revenues in 2006. The increase in the steel segment cost of revenues in monetary
terms is attributable to the growth in prices of raw materials and the change in
steel product mix in favour of higher value added products both in the Russian
market and due to the acquisitions in North America and South Africa.
The cost of revenues in respect of EOSM (January-December 2007), including
intra-group profits, was US$1,486 million, in respect of Highveld (May-December
2007) - US$452 million, and in respect of Stratcor - US$125 million, or 18.0%,
5.5% and 1.5% of steel segment cost of revenues, respectively.
Excluding the 2007 acquired assets, raw materials costs increased approximately
by 29%; staff costs went up by 13% in conformity with trade union agreements and
energy costs were up 11% as a result of increases in electricity and natural gas
tariffs. Both staff and energy costs increased within Russia due to
appreciation of the rouble against the US dollar.
In 2007, the steel segment profit from operations increased by 56.4% to US$3,069
million, or 24.7% of steel segment revenues, from US$1,962 million, 24.0% of
steel segment revenues in 2006.
In 2007, adjusted EBITDA in the steel segment totalled US$3,585 million and
28.8% of steel segment revenues, compared with $2,226 million, and 27.3% in
2006.

1 Includes raw coal production of Yuzhkuzbassugol and Mine 12. Evraz Group held
a 50% interest in ZAO Yuzhkuzbassugol until 8 June 2007 and accounted for its
results under the equity method. Since 8 June 2007 the financial results of
Yuzhkuzbassugol are fully consolidated into the Group.
Mining segment revenues grew by 65.7% to US$1,901 million in 2007, compared with
US$1,147 million in 2006, reflecting mainly the growth in the average prices of
iron ore and an increase in volumes of coal sold after the acquisition of
Yuzhkuzbassugol in June 2007. Sales volumes of iron ore increased by 10.6%.
In 2007 mining segment sales to the steel segment amounted to US$1,527 million,
or 80.3% of mining segment sales, vs. US$1,020 million, or 88.9% of mining
segment sales in 2006.
Prior to the acquisition of Yuzhkuzbassugol in June 2007, substantially all of
Evraz's mining segment sales consisted of iron ore. Post-acquisition revenues
of Yuzhkuzbassugol amounted to US$283 million.
The mining segment cost of revenues grew by 75.3% from US$708 million in 2006 to
US$1,241 million last year, mainly as a result of the Yuzhkuzbassugol
acquisition.
The mining segment profit from operations increased by 30.5% to US$458 million
in 2007, or 24.1% of mining segment revenues. This compares with US$351
million, or 30.6% of mining segment revenues in 2006. The growth was a result
of higher iron ore prices.
Adjusted EBITDA in the mining segment rose by 52.5% to US$632 million, or 33.3%
of mining segment revenues in 2007 from US$415 million, or 36.2% of mining
segment revenues in 2006.

Evraz's revenues from other operations including management, logistics
(including the Nakhodka Sea Port) and supporting activities increased by 38.7%
in 2007 as compared to 2006. In particular, in 2007 energy generating companies
EvrazEK and ZapsibTETS generated revenues of US$163 million and US$52 million,
respectively.
Consolidated Group Financial Position
Cash flow
Evraz demonstrated strong cash flow generation. Cash flow from operating
activities increased by 41.9% to US$2,957 million in 2007 vs. US$2,084 million
in 2006. The record increase in net cash generated by operations was primarily
due to increased profit margins. The changes in the working capital negatively
affected the cash flow from operating activities by US$307 million.
Cash used in investing activities totalled US$5,636 million in 2007 vs. US$1,569
million in 2006.
In 2007, capital expenditures amounted to approximately US$740 million (US$651
million in 2006) including US$499 million with respect to the steel segment and
US$187 million with respect to the mining segment. Additionally US$423 million
were used to buy out minority interests.

Attachment 1
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents profit from operations plus depreciation, depletion
and amortisation, impairment of assets and loss (gain) on disposal of property,
plant and equipment. Evraz presents an Adjusted EBITDA because it considers
Adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental measure of its operating
performance and believes Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in the same industry. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance
under IFRS and it should not be considered as an alternative to net profit as a
measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a
measure of liquidity. Evraz's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different
from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be
limited. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and potential
investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an
analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS. Some of these
limitations include:
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of financing or financing costs on
Evraz's operating performance, which can be significant and could further
increase if Evraz were to incur more debt.
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of income taxes on Evraz's
operating performance.
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of depreciation and amortisation
on Evraz's operating performance. The assets of Evraz's businesses which are
being depreciated and/or amortised will have to be replaced in the future and
such depreciation and amortisation expense may approximate the cost to replace
these assets in the future. By excluding this expense from Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Evraz's future cash requirements for these
replacements. Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect the impact of a loss on
disposal of property, plant and equipment.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit from operations is as follows:

Attachment 2
Net Debt
Net Debt represents long-term loans, net of current portion, plus short-term
loans and current portion of long-term loans less cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted deposits). Net Debt is not a balance sheet measure under
IFRS, and it should not be considered as an alternative to other measures of
financial position. Evraz's calculation of Net Debt may be different from the
calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Net Debt has been calculated as follows:
