The company achieved an EBITDA margin of USD 111 per tonne, with a net income of USD 0.4 billion and an adjusted net income of USD 0.5 billion (EPS USD 0.62). ArcelorMittal said performance continued to reflect the benefits of asset optimization, regional diversification, and strategic growth investments, including record iron ore production and shipments from Liberia.
Net debt stood at USD 9.1 billion at the end of September, compared to USD 8.3 billion at the end of June, mainly due to working capital and M&A investments. The company expects a strong free cash flow rebound in Q4 2025 as working capital unwinds, supported by a robust liquidity position of USD 11.2 billion.
CEO Aditya Mittal stated, “We delivered resilient results in what is typically a seasonally weak quarter. The European Commission’s proposed trade measures, once enacted, will support the region’s steel sector in improving capacity utilization and profitability. We remain focused on executing our investment plans and positioning the business for long-term value creation.”
ArcelorMittal highlighted that its strategic growth and M&A initiatives are expected to add around USD 2.1 billion to future EBITDA capacity, with USD 0.7 billion targeted for 2025 and USD 0.8 billion for 2026. The company continues to invest in low-carbon and value-added steel markets as part of its transition strategy.
For shareholders, the company confirmed its base dividend of USD 0.55 per share, paid in two installments, and reiterated its policy to return at least 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow through dividends and share buybacks. So far in 2025, ArcelorMittal has repurchased 8.8 million shares for USD 262 million, with plans to cancel most of its 92.3 million treasury shares before year-end.
