MOSCOW, Dec. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mechel OAO (NYSE:MTL), a leading
Russian mining and steel group, today announced financial results for the 9M
2012.
Evgeny Mikhel, Mechel OAO's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the 9M2012
financial results:
"In this accounting period, the group focused on its key strategic tasks as
outlined by the Board of Directors in May. We focused our efforts on our core
businesses — mining and full-cycle steelmaking, and made significant headway
in cutting costs and maximizing sales. At the same time we have taken a series
of measures aimed at minimizing the impact loss-generating enterprises have on
the group's financial results. We cut down to a minimum manufacturing of those
products that are unprofitable in current economic conditions and prepared for
sale those assets earlier designated for divestment. Work on optimizing the
company's debt structure never stops, as demonstrated by the recent
refinancing of the syndicated loan as well as several long-term loans from
Russian banks taken out to repay short-term debt. Investment expenses are
subject to ever more rigorous control. Despite the fact that programs of
production cost cuts have always been in place at our enterprises, now we pay
extra attention to the issue. All these measures enabled us not only to
improve our profitability at the EBITDA level and achieve a net profit in the
3rd quarter, but also to demonstrate a maximum quarter operational cash flow
since the 2nd quarter of 2009*."

Mechel Mining OAO's Chief Operating Officer Boris Nikishichev commented on the
mining segment's results:
"As the market situation has worsened for more than a year, our chief tasks
became maintaining the mining division's operational efficiency and ensuring
further development of Elga, the company's key strategic project. This year
the group's production and sales enterprises have made maximum effort to
increase production and shipment volumes as Southern Kuzbass's production
capacities were restored, which enabled us to partly smooth over the negative
impact of lower prices. The wide range of our coal products and our
streamlined distribution system, both on the domestic and the international
markets, ensure our company's strong competitive position, enabling it to
expand its client base even in these difficult conditions and enter new
markets, as well as diversify sales to its current customers and make up for
the lower demand for some types of coal by offering other coal grades.
"A tougher cost cutting program became another key instrument in improving the
efficiency of the mining division's enterprises. We made several management
decisions including limitations on operational and administrative expenses,
acquiring third-party supplies for lower prices, selling inventories and
planned reductions of production at several assets. As a result, production
costs were cut dramatically in the third quarter at all of our Russian mining
assets. Temporary suspension of some of our US-based mining facilities in
October due to increased inventories became another expense optimization
measure.
"The third quarter was also marked by another event in the development of Elga
Coal Complex — we completed construction of a washing plant and made the
technological launch of a full production cycle. Currently finishing and
insulating works are being conducted at the site, and when completed, the
plant will be able to work all year round reaching 3 million tonnes capacity.
Washing facilities next year will enable us to increase coal production at
Elga and increase Mechel Mining's supplies of coking coal concentrate. In
order to ensure a long-term off-take for Elga's steam coal, in September we
signed a long-term cooperation agreement with RAO Energy Systems of East OAO,
which provides for a gradual increase in coal supplies up to a total of 60
million tonnes over 15 years."

Mechel's steel segment's revenue from external customers in 3Q 2012 amounted
to $1.7 billion, or 63% of the consolidated net revenue, a decrease of 10.4%
over the segment's revenue from external customers of $1.9 billion, or 61% of
consolidated revenue, in 2Q 2012.
In 3Q 2012, the steel segment's operating loss totaled $42.9 million, or -2.4%
of the segment's revenue, versus an operating loss of $471.0 million, or
-24.0% of total segment revenue, in 2Q 2012. The adjusted EBITDA in the steel
segment in 3Q 2012 decreased by 18.1% and amounted to $74.7 million, compared
to the adjusted EBITDA of $91.3 million in 2Q 2012. The adjusted EBITDA margin
of the steel segment was 4.27% in 3Q 2012, versus an adjusted EBITDA margin of
4.65% in 2Q 2012. Depreciation and amortization in the steel segment decreased
by 3.4% from $41.2 million in 2Q 2012 to $39.8 million in 3Q 2012.
Commenting on the steel segment's results, Mechel-Steel Management OOO's Chief
Executive Officer Vladimir Tytsky noted:
"In the third quarter, we continued to implement our equipment modernization
program at our enterprises. Construction of the universal rolling mill at
Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant has reached its final stage. We also continued
to optimize stockpiles of steel products in our sales network's warehouses.
Despite a certain decrease of overall sales volumes of our finished products,
we managed to increase sales of high value-added products, such as hardware
and forgings. Lower iron ore and coke prices enabled us to reduce production
costs at the division's key Russian enterprises. The Russian market's stable
demand for long products also proved helpful. At the same time, persistent
weakness in the European steel market and high scrap prices put great pressure
on the results of the division's enterprises located in Eastern Europe.
Ultimately we decided first to cut production at electric smelting plants and
then to temporarily halt production there. Many other companies faced the same
problems, including those whose products we are selling through our sales
network. Cutting production at such plants led to reduced sales volumes and
therefore the division's revenues. Due to our focus on the Russian market for
long products, which fared much better than its European counterpart, in the
third quarter we managed to maintain EBITDA at a fairly high level as compared
to previous financial periods."

million in 2Q2012.
Mechel-Ferroalloys Management OOO's Chief Executive Officer Sergey Zhilyakov
noted:
"As the situation on the ferroalloy product markets continues to worsen, we
had to resort to drastic measures in a bid to reduce the negative economic
effect. In the third quarter, production at Southern Urals Nickel Plant was
dramatically reduced. In late September, nickel production at the plant was
halted completely. Tikhvin Ferroalloy Plant's production program was also
revised. At the same time, Bratsk Ferroalloy Plant, using its modernized
furnace's full capacity, increased manufacturing products whose sales bring
the company profit even despite the markets' high volatility. As a result,
operational loss and negative EBITDA were markedly reduced. The division will
continue to optimize its operations in a bid to achieve positive results."

The adjusted EBITDA margin for the power segment in 3Q2012 amounted to -2.6%
compared to 0.1% in 2Q2012. Depreciation and amortization in power segment in
3Q2012 decreased by 0.8% comparing with the 2Q2012 from $3.65 million to $3.62
million.
Mechel-Energo OOO's Chief Executive Officer Yuri Yampolsky noted:
"In the third quarter the power division worked with a low-season load and was
preparing for the forthcoming winter period as planned. At the same time,
production results are as planned and even exceed plans at some enterprises.
Repairs and preparation for the winter are also complete. Financial results
were typical for low-season electricity and heat consumption, and are
generally on the level of the previous period."
Recent Highlights
* In October 2012, Mechel reported signing long-term agreements with
Sberbank of Russia OAO pursuant to which Sberbank opened four credit lines
to Southern Kuzbass Coal Company OAO for a total of 24 billion rubles for
a period of five years with a three-year grace period. Yakutugol Holding
Company OAO, Mechel Mining OAO and Mechel OAO act as guarantors of the
facility.

facilities at Donetsk Electrometallurgical Plant (DEMZ), and the schedule
for temporary suspension of production at the group's Romanian steelmaking
facilities, in both cases due to unfavorable conditions on markets of raw
materials and finished steel products.
* In December 2012, Mechel announced signing an amendment and restatement
agreement in relation to a syndicated pre-export loan totalling 1 billion
US dollars in order to further improve the liquidity of the company.

Attachments to the 9M 2012 Earnings Press Release
Attachment A
Non-GAAP financial measures. This press release includes financial information
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, or US GAAP, as well as other financial measures
referred to as non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered
in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in
accordance with US GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before Depreciation, depletion and
amortization, Foreign exchange gain/(loss), Gain/(loss) from remeasurement of
contingent liabilities at fair value, Interest expense, Interest income, Net
result on the disposal of non-current assets, Impairment of long-lived assets
and goodwill, Provision for loan given to related parties, Amount attributable
to noncontrolling interests and Income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA margin is
defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our net revenues. Our adjusted
EBITDA may not be similar to EBITDA measures of other companies. Adjusted
EBITDA is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statement of
operations. We believe that our adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to
investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our
ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary
spending such as capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments and
our ability to incur and service debt. While interest, depreciation and
amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted
accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current
period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or
constructed in prior periods. Our adjusted EBITDA calculation is commonly used
as one of the bases for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to
evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value
of companies within the metals and mining industry.
Adjusted net income / (loss) represents net income / (loss) before Impairment
of long-lived assets and goodwill and Provision for the amounts due from
related parties, including the effect on income tax and amounts attributable
to noncontrolling interests. Our adjusted net income / (loss) may not be
similar to adjusted net income / (loss) measures of other companies. Adjusted
net income / (loss) is not a measurement under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not
as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statement
of operations. We believe that our adjusted net income / (loss) provides
useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and
performance of our ongoing business operations. While impairment of long-lived
assets and goodwill and provision for the amounts due from related parties are
considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles,
these expenses represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs
associated with assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our adjusted
net income / (loss) calculation is used as one of the bases for investors,
analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and
future operating performance and value of companies within the metals and
mining industry.
