Niche strategy - local positionsSCHNITZERSIMS• Businesses are a clear contrast tothe mega recyclers• Local positions in the shadows ofmajor players (coverage area ofmajor players represented by bluecircles)• Unique service propositions• Flexible scale – responsive tochanging conditions• Access to multiple market options(local and export) and a globaltrading networkTMR3

Overview• OSTR was created with the acquisition of ITI business (Virginia & Florida) inFeb 06 and a further acquisition of the IMR business (Maine) in March 07• Focus was to install shredder in Tampa (Apr 2009), develop NF business inVirginia and enhance yards in Maine• Virginia and Florida operations are primarily bulk export yards• Maine operations ship domestically; no bulk export capabilities4

Safety• Key priority which has delivered substantial improvement in hazardidentification, yard delineation and employee awareness and engagement• SafeOps Plan enabled across the business• Current focus on “Line of Fire”, Lifesavers and comprehensive employeeengagement5

Business conditions• The business has a strong market position, well positioned to accesspeddler trade and is heavily influenced by residential construction activityand household spending.• Key indicators have been steadily improving• Consumer spending increasing• Automobile sales improving although still low by recent standards• Homebuilding (although mortgage finance remains tight)• Manufacturing activity – orders up, rehiring, increased transport activity• Unemployment remains an exception with rates historically high• The Florida markets were hit hard by the triple threats of high debt, highunemployment and a free-falling housing market, but recent indicatorsshow:• Housing starts are rising again• Unemployment peaked at 12% and is predicted to fall to 8% by 2013• The Gross State Product (GSP), a measure of goods and services produced inFlorida, is expected to expand 2.1% this year after contracting the past two years• Maine has had four consecutive quarters of overall economic growth andthree solid months of employment gainsSources include US Federal Reserve Board6

Ferrous scrap intake & pricing• The industry has been impacted by the adverse external market factors, buthas been successful in at least maintaining market share throughout• Major impact from the GFC and consequent volatility• 2010 has delivered a steady and sustained improvement in tradingconditions and market activityOSTR US Ferrous Scrap Intake VolumeQtrly Average Purchase Price - IndexedFerrous Scrap100500Jul-08Oct-08Jan-09Apr-09Jul-09Oct-09Jan-10Apr-10Q1 FY09Q2 FY09Q3 FY09Q4 FY09Q1 FY10Q2 FY10Q3 FY107

Cost management• A lean business pre GFC the business was forced to take radical action tooffset the wind-back in activity. More recently the business has been ableto implement a number of cost saving initiativesCost Management Index - July 08 = 1004003002001000Jul-08Oct-08Jan-09Apr-09Jul-09Oct-09Jan-10Apr-10Index – 3 month moving average measuring total expenses / total intake12

Competition• Florida• Key competitor is TMR (Trademark Recycling; Nucor / David J Josephs)• Operates 20 sites & 5 shredders in Florida including Tampa & Ocala• Recently acquired the Ocala shredder and yards from Blaze• Domestic Mill Gerdau is 3.5 hours away which operates a shredder and buysscrap for remelting• Virginia• Key competitor is Sims Metal Management• Operates 5 sites and 2 shredders within a 90 mile radius from our Chesapeakelocation• Domestic Mill Gerdau is 1.5 hours away and SIMS operates a shredder on site,plus Gerdau buys scrap for remelting• Maine• Key competitor & customer is Schnitzer• Restructuring OSTR channels to market to increase independence• Local small dealer competition• No Domestic Mill competition, closest Mill is 8 hrs away13

Recent improvement initiatives• The business has undergone considerable recapitalisation having experiencedunderinvestment for a number of years• All yards are undergoing upgrades including concreting, building upgrades, revisedprocess flows, etc. yielding safety and operational benefits, including a $1.7Mconcreting of the export yard in Tampa14

Recent improvement initiatives (cont.)• The business has implemented significant cost and operational initiatives toachieve a more robust cost structure able to better absorb the marketvolatility• A key initiative has been to develop front line leader capability via theappointment of new managers and creation of new roles. The increasedcapability and responsibility is enabling significant improvements in safety,productivity and branch growth.• A major deliverable of the yard upgrades was to enhance the “customer”experience through reduced turnaround times and a safer environment. Thebusiness is now more efficiently processing the increasing peddler trade.• All leaders have been trained and are deemed competent in OneSteel’ssafety essentials and have been trained in progressive disciplineprocedures• In Sept 2010 Lean Manufacturing processes will be introduced. This willenable us to maximise the operational efficiency of our shredder and othermajor equipment15

Growth options• The US South East remains a region of long term strategic interest to OSTR• We continue to seek significant opportunities to build focused local positions with multiplemarket channels (local and export)• In the meantime, OSTR USA is pursuing small bolt on acquisitionopportunities as a time-effective way of expanding market presence andincreasing access to at-source intake volumes (peddler trade, industrialcustomers and local residents)• Current interest is feeder yards to support the Tampa Shredder operation; processingopportunities on the northwest and east sides of Tampa• Complementary yards for the IMR business to expand volumes, inhibit competition, andincrease market share16
