Alexander Frolov,Chief Executive of Evraz Group, commented:
"In 2010 we have seen the continuation of a recovery in steel
demand across all our key markets. Our steelmaking capacities in
Russia were fully utilised and we significantly increased the
utilisation rates of our international operations.
"As a reflection of the recovery in the domestic market, we
increased the share of our steel sales to Russia and Ukraine from
44% to 58% of total sales from our Russian and Ukrainian mills.
This allowed us to fully utilise our rolling capacities in Russia,
shifting our product mix from semi-finished steel towards higher
margin products.
"Our North American operations registered notable volume
increases driven by strong demand for pipes to facilitate shale gas
exploration projects and construction plate in relation to
infrastructure investment on behalf of local governments.
"As part of our raw material base development we acquired the
licence to develop the Mezhegey coal deposit in Russia, a project
that will significantly enhance our coking coal mining volumes
within the next several years.
"In order to strengthen EVRAZ's position in the current markets
we commenced the construction of new rolling facilities in regions
with growing demand, namely South of Russia and Kazakhstan.
"We also created one of the largest steel distribution companies
in CIS by acquiring INPROM, a metal service enterprise, and
combining it with our current trading network. Ongoing
modernisation of our rail mills, the expansion of our product mix
and the upgrade of the wheels shop will all serve to underwrite our
production focus on high value-added products.
"Also, in 2010 we have put the spotlight on health and safety,
making sure it has the due attention of management and workers and
the necessary level of investment. To support this, we have created
a new vice president role dedicated to health, safety and
environment and we are expecting to see a marked improvement in our
safety performance.
"We continued to drive efficiency gains through operational
improvements. The introduction of a pulverised coal injection
project, scheduled for completion in 2012, will increase our energy
efficiency, eliminate the need for natural gas in blast furnaces
and reduce our coking coal consumption by almost 20%. Existing cost
saving programmes are currently yielding annual efficiency gains of
US$20-30 million at each Russian steel plant.
"Management teams have been strengthened within our
international subsidiaries, a new pricing formula has been agreed
in respect of hot metal supply to EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel, our Czech
subsidiary, and a number of organisational and environmental
improvements have been introduced at our North American
operations."
Giacomo Baizini, Evraz Group's Chief Financial Officer,
commented:
"We improved our financial performance in 2010, generating
US$2.35 billion of EBITDA and US$282 million of free cash flow.
"The focus of our financial management was on the refinancing of
short-term debt through longer-term instruments. Capital markets
were open to us, notably with regard to rouble bond issuance, but
we were also able to access bank lending both on a bilateral basis
and with a group of international lenders in respect of pre-export
finance facility. In the wake of our refinancing exercise,
short-term debt is now no longer an issue.
"As announced in January 2011, we changed our accounting
policies in respect of certain classes of property, plant and
equipment from the revaluation model back to the historical cost
method, as utilized prior to 2009. This will serve to provide more
relevant information with regard to the Company's financial
position and performance, and will also give better comparability
with our peers, all of which favour the historical cost
method."
Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for 2011, Mr. Frolov stated:
"Global steel markets, while remaining distinctly sensitive,
have posted a promising start to the year which points to a broader
based recovery across all our markets. The prices and availability
of steelmaking raw materials - iron ore, coking coal and scrap -
will continue to drive steel prices.
"We are confident that Evraz Group, as a cost efficient
vertically integrated and geographically diversified company, is
well positioned to pursue its growth strategy and benefit from any
upturns in world markets."
Mr. Baizini added:
"Based on our sales at the onset beginning of 2011, we expect
Russian demand for construction steel to grow by more than 10% in
2011 compared with 2010. We are also experiencing improved demand
from our international markets as the global economy continues to
recover.
"We expect our 1Q 2011 EBITDA to be in the range of US$725-800
million.
"We will continue to refinance our short-term maturities through
various longer-term instruments as yields are close to their
historic lows. In the medium term we intend to maintain a net debt
to EBITDA ratio of below two times."

2010 Results Summary:
EVRAZ's consolidated revenues for the year ended 31 December
2010 increased by 37.1% to US$13,394 million compared with US$9,772
million in 2009. Steel segment sales accounted for the majority of
the increase in revenues, reflecting the growth in sales volumes
and average prices of steel products. EVRAZ's external sales
volumes of steel products rose from 14.3 million tonnes in 2009 to
15.5 million tonnes in 2010.
The increase in steel sales volumes primarily reflects the
growth in demand for construction products in Russia with overall
sales on the Russian market advancing by 1.4 million tonnes
compared with 2009. Sales volumes in Ukraine remained flat. Export
sales volumes from the Russian and Ukrainian operations decreased
by 1.1 million tonnes. Sales volumes of the European and North
American operations increased by 0.3 million and 0.6 million tonnes
respectively, while steel sales volumes in respect of the South
African operations were unchanged.

Revenues from sales in Russia increased as a proportion of total
revenues from 30.2% to 35.0%, driven by the growing demand for
construction products in the Russian market following a decline in
2009.
In 2010, revenues from non-Russian sales rose by 27.6% to
US$8,702 million compared with US$6,822 million in 2009 but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 65.0%, compared with
69.8% in 2009.
In 2010, the consolidated cost of revenues improved to 77.0% of
consolidated revenues, or US$10,319 million compared with 83.1% of
consolidated revenues, or US$8,124 million, in 2009.
Gross profit rose by 86.6% from US$1,648 million in 2009 to
US$3,075 million in 2010. This increase in gross profit primarily
resulted from a recovery in steel, mining and vanadium prices
following the weak demand that characterised the principal steel
markets in 2009.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a
percentage of consolidated revenues decreased year-on-year from
12.8% to 11.5%.
Total loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment in
2010 amounted to US$52 million compared with US$39 million in 2009.
The increase in 2010 was primarily attributable to the disposal of
assets at the Russian and South African steel and mining
operations.
Total impairment of assets amounted to US$147 million in 2010
compared with US$180 million in 2009. Impairment was partly
attributable to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of US$16
million in 2010 (related to Stratcor) and US$160 million in 2009
(related to operations in North America and Ukraine). EVRAZ also
recognised an impairment of assets, other than goodwill, in the
amount of US$131 million in 2010 and US$20 million in 2009, mostly
impairment of certain items of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets.
Profit from operations improved from US$195 million, or 2.0% of
consolidated revenues, in 2009, to US$1,330 million, or 9.9% of
consolidated revenues, in 2010.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased by 90.0% to US$2,350
million in 2010 compared to US$1,237 million in 2009, with adjusted
EBITDA margins of 17.5% and 12.7% respectively.
Interest expense rose 7.5% to US$728 million in 2010 compared
with US$677 million in 2009 reflecting lengthening of average debt
duration.
In 2010, income tax expense amounted to US$163 million compared
with an income tax benefit of US$46 million in 2009. EVRAZ's
effective tax rate, defined as income tax expense (benefit) as a
percentage of profit (loss) before tax, increased from 13.6% in
2009 to 23.5% in 2010.
The net profit attributable to equity holders of Evraz Group in
2010 was US$548 million compared with a loss of US$295 million in
2009.

* Including intersegment sales
Steel segment revenues increased by 35.0% to US$12,123 million
in 2010 compared with US$8,978 million in 2009, a reflection of
positive price dynamics for steel products and higher sales
volumes.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of construction
products increased as a result of significant growth in the sales
volumes and prices of construction products in Russia.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of railway
products declined slightly despite an increase in the proportion of
volumes, due to the fact that prices of railway products,
particularly rails in Russia, are relatively stable and less
affected by steel market price fluctuations.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of flat-rolled
products (primarily plates) increased in response to sales volumes
growth across the Group's North American and European
operations.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of tubular
products decreased primarily due to lower prices of large diameter
pipes, ERW pipes, casing and tubing in North America.
The proportion of revenues attributable to sales of
semi-finished products decreased largely due to a reallocation of
sales volumes by the Russian operations from export markets to the
domestic construction sector and higher volumes of slabs re-rolled
at EVRAZ's European and North American operations (approximately
+0.7 million tonnes in 2010 vs. 2009).
Steel segment sales to the mining segment totalled US$123
million in 2010 compared with US$83 million a year earlier. The
increase is attributable to higher sales prices.
Revenues from sales in Russia amounted to approximately 35.3% of
steel segment revenues in 2010, compared with 29.9% in 2009. The
increased share of revenues from sales in Russia resulted from the
reallocation of steel volumes from Asian export markets to the
Russian market.
Steel segment cost of revenues improved to 82.7% of steel
segment revenues in 2010, or US$10,029 million, compared with 84.6%
of steel segment revenues, or US$7,597 million, in 2009. The
increase in cost of revenues in monetary terms is attributable to a
rise of 62.0% in raw material costs due to significant growth in
the prices of all key raw materials (particularly coking coal and
iron ore) and higher production volumes of pig iron and crude
steel; additional transportation costs (+6.2%) reflecting a higher
average railway tariff in Russia and greater export sales volumes
of steel products from Russia; increased energy costs (+21.6%) due
to expanded production; and enhanced staff costs (+13.6%). Costs of
semi-finished products decreased by 39.0% due to significantly
higher volumes of internally-produced slabs used for production of
rolled products within the Group and reduced purchases of
semi-finished products from the market.
In 2010, the steel segment recorded an operating profit of
US$832 million (6.9% of steel segment revenues), compared with
US$148 million (1.6% of steel segment revenues) in 2009.

* Including intersegment sales
Mining segment revenues rose 72.2% to US$2,507 million in 2010,
compared with US$1,456 million in 2009, primarily reflecting
significant increases in the market prices of iron ore and coal
during 2010.
Sales volumes of iron ore products remained flat in 2010
compared with 2009. Sales volumes of coking coal concentrate
increased by 21.4%. Sales volumes of steam coal concentrate
decreased by 65.7% in 2010 compared with 2009 due to lower volumes
of raw steam coal mined.
In 2010, mining segment sales to the steel segment amounted to
US$1,747 million, or 69.7% of mining segment sales, compared with
US$1,017 million, or 69.8% of mining segment sales, in 2009.
In 1H 2010, EVRAZ's iron ore requirements were self-covered by
approximately 90% and in 2H 2010 by approximately 102% compared
with 99% in 1H 2009 and 96% in 2H 2009. Self-coverage in coking
coal (including 40% share of Raspadskaya production) was 90% in 1H
2010 and 80% in 2H 2010 compared to 137% and 125% respectively in
2009. Excluding the Raspadskaya share self-coverage was 54% in 1H
2010 and 62% in 2H 2010.
Approximately 48% of the mining segment's external sales in 2010
were to customers in Russia compared with 51% in 2009. The increase
in the share of third party sales outside Russia is largely
attributable to the growth in export sales of mining products from
Yuzhkuzbassugol and KGOK to Asia.
Mining segment cost of revenues improved to 62.6% of mining
segment revenues, or US$1,569 million, in 2010 from 87.7% of mining
segment revenues, or US$1,277 million, in 2009. The increase in
monetary terms was primarily attributable to the growth in raw
materials costs (+46.9%) which resulted from higher prices and
volumes of external iron ore purchased by the mining segment for
processing, the appreciation of the rouble and enhanced energy
costs (+26.8%) due to expanded production volumes at KGOK and
higher energy prices.

* Including intersegment sales
Vanadium segment revenues increased by 55.9% to US$566 million
in 2010, compared with US$363 million in 2009, reflecting increased
sales volumes and prices of vanadium products. Sales volumes of the
vanadium segment increased from 18.4 thousand tonnes of pure
vanadium in 2009 to 20.6 thousand tonnes of pure vanadium in 2010.
After the acquisition of Vanady-Tula in November 2009, revenues
from sales of vanadium slag decreased to less than 7% of vanadium
segment revenues (some of the reported slag sold to external
customers was repurchased in the form of oxides for further
processing within the Group and was subsequently sold as finished
products).
Vanadium segment cost of revenuesimproved to 88.5% of vanadium
segment revenues, or US$501 million, in 2010 from 101.4% of
vanadium segment revenues, or US$368 million, in 2009. The increase
in monetary terms was primarily attributable to higher sales
volumes, higher prices of raw materials and acquisition of
Vanady-Tula at the end of 2009.

Consolidated Group Financial Position
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activitiesdecreased from US$1,698
million in 2009 to US$1,662 million in 2010. Working capital
movement in 2010 was largely driven by the increase in the value of
inventories. Cash provided by operating activities before working
capital adjustments increased from US$1,045 million in 2009 to
US$2,030 million in 2010.
Net cash used in investing activitiestotalled US$757 million in
2010 compared with net cash received from investing activities of
US$179 million in 2009. Substantially, all the cash used in
investing activities related to purchases of property, plant and
equipment.
In 2010, EVRAZ's capital expenditure totalled US$832 million,
including US$507 million in respect of the steel segment and US$299
million in respect of the mining segment.
Statement of financial position
As of 31 December 2010 total debt amounted to US$7,811 million,
largely unchanged from US$7,923 million as of 31 December 2009.
Cash and cash equivalents together with short-term bank deposits
amounted to US$684 million, against US$693 million as of 31
December 2009. Liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents,
amounts available under credit facilities and short-term bank
deposits with original maturity of more than three months, totalled
approximately US$1,694 million as of 31 December 2010 compared with
approximately US$2,038 million as of 31 December 2009.(Please refer
to Appendix 2 for calculation of liquidity)
As of 31 December 2010, EVRAZ had unutilised borrowing
facilities of US$1,010 million, including US$506 million of
committed facilities and US$504 million of uncommitted facilities.
Committed facilities consisted of credit facilities available for
Russian, North American and European operations in the amounts of
US$288 million, US$216 million and US$2 million respectively.
Uncommitted facilities consisted of revolving credit lines of
US$372 million with international banks for export trade financing
at East Metals S.A. and credit facilities available for South
African, European and North American operations in the amounts of
US$68 million, US$60 million and US$4 million respectively.
EVRAZ's current ratio, defined as current assets divided by
current liabilities, increased from 1.12 as of 31 December 2009 to
1.77 as of 31 December 2010. The increase in the current ratio
primarily resulted from decreases in short-term loans and the
current portion of long-term loans due to repayments and
refinancing activities on the part of management.
Net debt amounted to US$7,127 million as of 31 December 2010
compared with US$7,230 million as of 31 December 2009. (Please
refer to Appendix 3 for calculation of net debt)

Appendix 1
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents profit from operations plus
depreciation, depletion and amortisation, impairment of assets,
loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, foreign
exchange loss (gain) and revaluation deficit. 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. Adjusted EBITDA, due to the exclusion of this
expense, 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 profit (loss) from operations to adjusted
EBITDA is as follows:

Net Debt
Net Debt represents long-term loans, net of current portion,

alternative to other measures of financial position. EVRAZ's
