ArcelorMittal also announces today details of new reporting segments, following the changes to the company’s organisational structure which took effect on 1 January 2014. The changes are only related to the allocation between the new reporting segments of NAFTA, Brazil (Brazil and neighbouring countries), Europe and ACIS. There are no changes to the Mining segment and group total. 

The segmentation analysis to be presented in the company’s first quarter earnings release on 9 May 2014 will follow the new organisational structure, alongside historic data that has been recast in the new format.
