Throughout 2010, United States Steel Corporation confronted the ongoing

challenges posed by a global economy still recovering from a recession of historic

proportions. By years end, our financial and operating results showed improvement

over the extreme lows of 2009 but still remained below historically normal levels.

While the pace of recovery remains uncertain, we are cautiously optimistic that

global economic conditions will continue to improve. We are also confident that

our balanced and responsible approach to managing our company, which has

characterized our 110 years in business, will continue to serve U. S. Steel and its

many stakeholders well as we work through this difficult period.

Safety remained our primary core value and top priority

last year, particularly as we restarted our facilities and put

our people back to work. Active engagement of our entire

workforce resulted in improved performance in one of our key

safety measurements Global OSHA Recordable Incidence

Rate but we were disappointed that we did not improve in

one of our other measurements, Global Days Away from Work

Incidence Rate. We are, however, continuing to make progress

in this important area, especially when our companys injury

rate is compared with the average rates for the steel industry and manufacturing in

general in the most severe category tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Days Away from Work Cases Greater Than or Equal to 31 Days. Our efforts are

making a difference, but we still are not where we want to be. We remain firmly

committed to achieving our goal of zero incidents and injuries across our company,

and we will do everything possible to turn our goal into our reality.

Another area showing marked and sustained improvement, thanks to our focused

company-wide efforts, is environmental performance. Environmental stewardship

is also a core value, and the work we have done and are continuing to do

not only aids our shared environment, but also makes good business sense.

Our work thus far is having a positive effect air and water exceedances have

declined 85 percent over the last four years but we continue to pursue additional

solutions that will help us achieve further improvements. Since a carbon-based

industrial process is at the heart of our business, we face significant challenges

as we attempt to reduce our overall carbon footprint. A cross-functional team that

includes employees from our union-represented workforce and members of our

senior leadership group is developing innovative solutions and sharing industry

best practices that are reducing the energy intensity per ton of steel produced

as well as related CO2 emissions. We are also committed to investing in new

technology that will move the steelmaking process in a more environmentally

responsible direction. Three examples that demonstrate our efforts to renew our

coke making infrastructure while utilizing lower-emitting technology include the

recently completed SunCoke non-recovery coke battery at Granite City Works; the

Carbonyx carbon alloy synthesis process facility currently under construction at

Gary Works; and the new by-products recovery coke battery and quench towers

being built at Mon Valley Works Clairton Plant.

Beyond their environmental benefits, the investments we are making in our coke

making infrastructure have high strategic significance for our company, as do

several other projects where we plan to focus some of the $990 million intended

for capital expenditures in 2011. We are investing in coke and coke substitute

production capabilities to improve our companys long-term self-sufficiency in

this key steelmaking raw material. We also plan to complete blast furnace coal

injection projects at our European facilities to help us reduce our purchased coke

needs. In our tubular segment, we have started construction on a new quench

and temper and finishing facility at our Lorain Tubular Operations that will allow

us to more efficiently serve our tubular product customers increased focus on

North American shale resources, including the nearby Marcellus Shale. We are also

continuing with the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system that

upon completion is expected to provide further opportunities for us to streamline,

standardize and centralize business processes across our global operations. In

addition, we are actively engaged with the management team and our joint venture

partner, Kobe Steel, at PRO-TEC Coating Company to construct a state-of-the-art

continuous annealing line to provide certain advanced and ultra high-strength

steels that are being increasingly utilized by the automotive industry to meet more

rigorous vehicle safety and fuel efficiency requirements.

Looking ahead, we continue to believe that the global economy is showing positive,

albeit slow, signs of recovery from one of the most dramatic downturns in history.

This gradual progress has led to improved conditions in some of the markets

we serve, such as automotive and energy, while demand in others, including

construction, remains significantly below historic levels. We will continue to

operate all of our facilities at levels that are consistent with our customers orders

while maintaining our focus on safety, efficiency and environmental stewardship.

We know our customers have faced their own set of challenges related to the

economy and they are working through the recovery process just like we are. We

are grateful that they have continued to rely on us to provide them with the high-

quality, value-added steel products they need.

Our new premium connection, PATRIOT TC, was designed to meet the challenges of extended reach drilling applications.

Cutting-edge research reflects U. S. Steels ongoing commitment to provide our customers with safe, innovative, high-quality steel products.

United States Steel Corporation 2010 Annual Report and Form 10-K 3

4In addition to demand uncertainties, we expect to contend with increased costs for

steelmaking raw materials in North America and Europe as the global appetite for

these vital manufacturing inputs follows a growth pattern that has been evident

for the better part of the last decade. Our Tubular segment will also face raw

materials cost pressures, but we expect to continue to benefit from the energy

industrys ongoing development of the large North American shale oil and gas

reserves. The ability to tap these reserves has been made possible by technological

advancements in unconventional drilling that require the types of tubular products

our company is capable of manufacturing.

While uncertainties still linger in the overall economy and some of the specific

markets we serve, one thing has remained clear throughout this difficult period

we are more than capable of confronting and overcoming whatever challenge

is presented to us, just as we have done throughout our companys history.

Throughout our 110-year history, we have enjoyed highly profitable periods and

survived industry-shaping events that claimed many of our oldest competitors

and spawned new ones. Through it all, we have remained focused on our core

values and relied on the dedication and talent of our worldwide workforce and

the commitment and expertise of our management team to emerge a stronger,

better United States Steel Corporation. We thank you for your continued support of

our company.

PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

U. S. Steel is an integrated steel producer of flat-rolled and tubular products with major production operations inNorth America and Europe. An integrated producer uses iron ore and coke as primary raw materials for steelproduction. U. S. Steel has annual raw steel production capability of 31.7 million net tons (tons) (24.3 million tonsin North America and 7.4 million tons in Europe). According to World Steel Associations latest published statistics,we were the eleventh largest steel producer in the world in 2009. U. S. Steel is also engaged in other businessactivities consisting primarily of transportation services (railroad and barge operations) and real estate operations.

The global economic recession that began in 2008 greatly affected U. S. Steel and many of the markets that weserve. The impact of the economic recovery has been uneven. Some markets, such as automotive, have hadsignificant improvement from the depths of the recession, although not yet reaching pre-recession levels, whileother markets, such as construction, have shown very little improvement.

Flat-rolled has annual raw steel production capability of 24.3 million tons. Raw steel production was 18.4 milliontons in 2010, 11.7 million tons in 2009 and 19.2 million tons in 2008. Raw steel production averaged 76 percent ofcapability in 2010, 48 percent of capability in 2009 and 79 percent of capability in 2008.

The USSE segment includes the operating results of U. S. Steel Kosice (USSK), U. S. Steels integrated steel milland coke production facilities in Slovakia; U. S. Steel Serbia (USSS), U. S. Steels integrated steel mill and otherfacilities in Serbia; and an equity investee located in Europe. USSE primarily serves customers in the Europeanconstruction, service center, conversion, container, transportation (including automotive), appliance and electrical,and oil, gas and petrochemical markets. USSE produces and sells slabs, sheet, strip mill plate, tin mill productsand spiral welded pipe, as well as heating radiators and refractory ceramic materials.

USSE has annual raw steel production capability of 7.4 million tons. USSEs raw steel production was 6.1 milliontons in 2010, 5.1 million tons in 2009 and 6.4 million tons in 2008. USSEs raw steel production averaged82 percent of capability in 2010, 69 percent of capability in 2009 and 87 percent of capability in 2008.

The Tubular segment includes the operating results of U. S. Steels tubular production facilities, primarily in theUnited States, and equity investees in the United States and Brazil. These operations produce and sell seamlessand electric resistance welded (ERW) steel casing and tubing (commonly known as oil country tubular goods orOCTG), standard and line pipe and mechanical tubing and primarily serve customers in the oil, gas andpetrochemical markets. Tubulars annual production capability is 2.8 million tons.

Our commercial focus is to provide value-added steel products, including advanced high strength steel and coatedsheets for the automotive and appliance industries, electrical steel sheets for the manufacture of motors andelectrical equipment, galvanized and Galvalume sheets for the construction and automotive industries, tin millproducts for the container industry and oil country tubular goods for the oil and gas industry, including providinghigh quality steel to the developing North American shale oil and gas market. In addition, our European operationsconcentrate on being a dependable source of high-quality steel to meet the needs of the developing centralEuropean markets.

We are committed to developing new steel products and uses for steel. In connection with this commitment wehave research centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Kosice, Slovakia. We also have an automotive center inTroy, Michigan and in 2011 we plan to complete construction of an innovation and technology center for Tubularproducts in Houston, Texas. The focus of these centers is to develop new products and to work with ourcustomers to serve their needs. Recent examples include development of advanced high strength steels, includingDual-Ten and TRIP steels that provide high strength while significantly reducing the weight of the structure thatthe steels are used in and PATRIOT TC tubular connections to meet our customers needs in deep wellapplications such as Marcellus shale.

With regard to capital investments, we remain focused on a number of key projects of long-term strategicimportance in each of our three business segments. We have accelerated several projects in the United Statesand Europe to improve our coke self-sufficiency. Engineering and construction of a technologically andenvironmentally advanced battery at the Mon Valley Works Clairton Plant is underway with completion expectedin 2013. We are constructing a two module carbon alloy facility at our Gary Works which utilizes anenvironmentally compliant, energy efficient and flexible production technology with a projected capacity of 500,000tons per year with completion expected in 2012. We have received the necessary air permits for up to 1 milliontons of such capacity. We are also constructing blast furnace coal injection facilities in Europe, which we expect tocome on line in 2011 at which time all five blast furnaces in Europe will have access to pulverized coal, a lowercost source of carbon than coke. In order to more efficiently serve our tubular product customers increased focuson North American shale resources, construction of a new quench and temper line is underway at our LorainTubular Operations in Ohio and is expected to be completed in 2011. In an effort to increase our participation inthe automotive market as vehicle emission and safety requirements become more stringent, PRO-TEC CoatingCompany, our joint venture in Ohio with Kobe Steel, Ltd., has a new automotive continuous annealing line under

12

construction that is expected to be completed in 2013. We are also continuing our efforts to implement anenterprise resource planning (ERP) system to replace outdated systems and to help us operate more efficiently.The completion of the ERP project is expected to provide further opportunities to streamline, standardize andcentralize business processes in order to maximize cost effectiveness, efficiency and control across our globaloperations.

We are committed to reducing emissions as well as our carbon footprint. We have implemented a program toinvestigate, share and create innovative and best practice solutions throughout U. S. Steel to manage and reduceenergy intensity and CO2 emissions. We are also committed to investing in technology to move the steelmakingprocess in an even more environmentally responsible direction by investing in low emission technologies. Inaddition to the environmentally compliant projects noted above, we entered into a 15 year coke supply agreementwith Gateway Energy & Coke Company, LLC in connection with its heat recovery coke plant located at GraniteCity Works which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2009.

We continue to assess North American and international expansion and divestment opportunities and carefullyweigh them in light of changing global steel and financial market conditions and long-term value considerations.We may consider 100 percent acquisition opportunities, joint ventures and other arrangements. In addition, ifbusiness conditions warrant, we may consider restructuring our current facilities, or we may consider theconstruction of new facilities to produce steel from scrap and iron bearing feedstocks, such as direct reduced iron.

The foregoing statements regarding capital projects, emissions reductions and expected benefits from theimplementation of the ERP project are forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our capital spendingand the projects include: (i) levels of cash flow from operations; (ii) general economic conditions; (iii) businessconditions; (iv) cost and availability of capital; (v) receipt of necessary permits; and (vi) unforeseen hazards suchas contractor performance, material shortages, weather conditions, explosions or fires. Predictions regardingbenefits resulting from the implementation of the ERP project are subject to uncertainties. We may not be able tosuccessfully implement the ERP project without experiencing difficulties. In addition, the expected benefits ofimplementing the ERP project might not be realized or the costs of implementation might outweigh the benefitsrealized. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Our financial strategy is to maintain or enhance our liquidity, maintain a solid balance sheet, focus capitalinvestments on key projects of long-term strategic importance and position ourselves for success in the longerterm. During 2010, we completed an offering of $600 million of senior notes, amended our Receivables PurchaseAgreement to increase the maximum amount of receivables eligible for sale from $500 million to $525 million whileextending its maturity until 2013 and entered into a 200 million three-year revolving unsecured credit facility toreplace USSKs three-year 200 million credit facility dated July 2, 2008. We voluntarily contributed $140 million tothe main defined benefit pension plan. We refinanced $89 million of Environmental Revenue Bonds (ERBs)extending their maturity date from 2011 to 2026 and entered into a loan agreement in connection with the issuanceand sale by the Lorain County Port Authority of $70 million of Lorain County Port Authority Recovery Zone FacilityRevenue Bonds with a maturity date of 2040 to finance a significant portion of the strategic capital project notedabove at our Lorain Tubular Operation in Ohio. We maintained our strong liquidity position and ended the year withtotal liquidity of $2.1 billion.

Steel Industry Background and Competition

The global steel industry is cyclical, highly competitive and has historically been characterized by overcapacity.

We believe that U. S. Steel is currently the eleventh largest steel producer in the world, the largest integrated steelproducer headquartered in North America, one of the largest integrated flat-rolled producers in Central Europe andthe largest tubular producer in North America. U. S. Steel competes with many North American and internationalsteel producers. Competitors include integrated producers which, like U. S. Steel, use iron ore and coke asprimary raw materials for steel production, and electric arc furnace production (EAF), which primarily uses steelscrap and other iron-bearing feedstocks as raw materials. In addition, other products, such as plastics andcomposites, compete with steel in some applications.

13

EAF production typically requires lower capital expenditures for construction of facilities and may have lower totalemployment costs; however, these competitive advantages may be minimized or eliminated by the cost of scrapwhen scrap prices are high. Some mini-mills utilize thin slab casting technology to produce flat-rolled products andare increasingly able to compete directly with integrated producers of flat-rolled products, who are generally able tomanufacture a broader range of products. U. S. Steel provides defined benefit pension and other postretirementbenefits to approximately 129,000 retirees and their beneficiaries. Producers using EAFs and most of our othercompetitors do not have comparable retiree obligations.

International competitors may have lower labor costs than U.S. producers and some are owned, controlled orsubsidized by their governments, allowing their production and pricing decisions to be influenced by political, socialand economic policy considerations, as well as prevailing market conditions.

Through our wholly owned operations and our share of joint ventures, we have adequate iron ore pellet productionto cover a significant portion of our North American needs and have secured the remaining iron ore pellets throughcontracts. We are also currently about 80 percent self sufficient for coke in North America at normal operatinglevels through our own coke production facilities and a long-term coke supply agreement. We also have multi-yearcontracts for most of our required coking coal. Our relatively balanced raw materials position in North America andlimited dependence on purchased steel scrap have helped mitigate the volatility of our production costs.

Coke production in North America has declined over the last several years mainly due to the closure of one cokebattery at Gary Works in 2005 and three coke batteries at the Clairton Plant in 2009. Improving our coke selfsufficiency is an important strategic objective. During 2010, we began construction of a technologically andenvironmentally advanced battery at the Clairton Plant of Mon Valley Works and construction of coke substitutecarbon alloy facilities at Gary Works.

Demand for flat-rolled products is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including but not limited to macro-economic drivers, the supply-demand balance, inventories, imports and exports, currency fluctuations, and thedemand from flat-rolled consuming markets. The largest drivers of North American consumption have historicallybeen the automotive and construction markets which make up more than 50 percent of total sheet consumption.Other sheet consuming industries include appliance, converter, container, tin, energy, electrical equipment,agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery.

USSE conducts business primarily in Europe. Like our domestic operations, USSE is affected by the cyclicalnature of demand for steel products and the sensitivity of that demand to worldwide general economic conditions.We are subject to market conditions in those areas which are influenced by many of the same factors that affectU.S. markets, as well as matters specific to international markets such as quotas, tariffs and other protectionistmeasures.

Demand for oil country tubular goods depends on several factors, most notably the number of oil and natural gaswells being drilled, completed and re-worked, the depth and drilling conditions of these wells and the drillingtechniques utilized. The level of these activities depends primarily on the demand for natural gas and oil and theexpectation of future prices of these commodities. Demand for our tubular products is also affected by thecontinuing development of shale oil and gas resources, the level of inventories maintained by manufacturers,distributors, and end users and by the level of imports in the markets we serve.

Steel imports to the United States accounted for an estimated 22 percent of the U.S. steel market in 2010,22 percent in 2009 and 24 percent in 2008. Increases in future levels of imported steel could reduce future marketprices and demand levels for steel produced in our North American facilities.

Imports of flat-rolled steel to Canada accounted for an estimated 39 percent of the Canadian market for flat-rolledsteel products in 2010, 35 percent in 2009 and 24 percent in 2008.

Many of these imports have violated U.S. or Canadian trade laws. Under these laws, duties can be imposedagainst dumped products, which are products sold at a price that is below that producers sales price in its homemarket or at a price that is lower than its cost of production. Countervailing duties can be imposed againstproducts that benefited from foreign government financial assistance for the benefit of the production,

14

manufacture, or exportation of the product. For many years, U. S. Steel, other producers, customers and theUnited Steelworkers (USW) have sought the imposition of duties and in many cases have been successful. Suchduties are generally subject to review every five years and we actively participate in such review proceedings.

In April 2009, U. S. Steel, Maverick Tube Corporation, TMK Ipsco, V&M Star LP, Evraz, Rocky Mountain Steel,Wheatland Tube Corporation and the USW filed anti-dumping and countervailing duty (subsidy) petitions regardingcertain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from China. As a result of investigations conducted by the Department ofCommerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC), countervailing duties ranging from 10.49% to15.78% were imposed on these products in January 2010 and anti-dumping duties ranging from 32.07% to99.14% were imposed in May 2010.

In September 2009, U. S. Steel, V&M Star LP, TMK IPSCO and the USW joined in bringing anti-dumping andcountervailing duty petitions against certain seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipe fromChina. As a result of these actions, countervailing duties ranging from 13.66% to 56.67% and anti-dumping dutiesranging from 50.01% to 98.74% were imposed against the import of these products in November 2010.

In March 2010, the DOC and ITC initiated five-year (sunset) reviews of antidumping orders against hot-rolledcarbon steel flat products from Brazil and Japan, a countervailing duty order against hot-rolled carbon steel flatproducts from Brazil, and a suspension agreement concerning hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from Russia. Inexpedited reviews of the Brazilian, Japanese and Russian cases, the DOC issued preliminary determinations, onJuly 30, 2010, that revocation of the orders and agreement would likely lead to continued or resumed dumping atrates of 17.70% to 184.56%. In a full review of the Brazilian countervailing duty order, the DOC issued its finaldetermination on November 29, 2010, of the likelihood of a resumed subsidy, but at a rate of zero percent. TheITCs injury investigation will be concluded with a decision in May 2011.

On October 12, 2010, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) issued a Notice of Expiry of the Canadianantidumping orders against hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from Brazil, China, Taiwan, India,South Africa and Ukraine. The CITT issued its decision on December 1, 2010 to initiate an expiry review that willdetermine whether the orders will be extended for an additional five years beyond August 15, 2011.

Total imports of flat-rolled carbon steel products (excluding quarto plates and wide flats) to the EU27 (the 27countries currently comprising the European Union (EU)) were 14 percent of the EU market in 2010, 15 percent in2009 and 19 percent in 2008. Imported steel to the EU market coupled with declining demand starting late in 2008contributed to record levels of inventory, all of which resulted in weakening market prices in late 2008 and early2009.

We expect to continue to experience competition from imports and will continue to closely monitor imports ofproducts in which we have an interest. Additional complaints may be filed if unfairly traded imports adverselyimpact, or threaten to adversely impact, financial results.

U. S. Steels businesses are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to thestorage, handling, emission and discharge of environmentally sensitive materials. U. S. Steel believes that ourmajor North American and many European integrated steel competitors are confronted by substantially similarenvironmental conditions and thus does not believe that our relative position with regard to such competitors ismaterially affected by the impact of environmental laws and regulations. However, the costs and operatingrestrictions necessary for compliance with environmental laws and regulations may have an adverse effect onU. S. Steels competitive position with regard to domestic mini-mills, some foreign steel producers (particularly indeveloping economies such as China) and producers of materials which compete with steel, all of which may notbe required to undertake equivalent costs in their operations. In addition, the specific impact on each competitormay vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities and itsproduction methods. U. S. Steel is also responsible for remediation costs related to our prior disposal ofenvironmentally sensitive materials. Many of our competitors have fewer historical liabilities.

Managements Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Environmental Matters, Litigation andContingencies.

Many nations have adopted or are considering regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The integrated steelprocess involves a series of chemical reactions involving carbon that create CO2 emissions. This distinguishesintegrated steel producers from mini-mills and many other industries where CO2 generation is generally linked toenergy usage. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published rules for regulatinggreenhouse gas emissions for certain facilities and has implemented various reporting requirements. In the lastCongress, legislation was passed in the House of Representatives and introduced in the Senate. We do not knowwhat action, if any, may be taken by the new Congress. The EU has established greenhouse gas regulations andCanada has published details of a regulatory framework for greenhouse gas emissions. Such regulations mayentail substantial costs for emission allowances, restriction of production, and higher prices for coking coal, naturalgas and electricity generated by carbon-based systems. Some foreign nations such as China and India are notaggressively pursuing regulation of CO2 and integrated steel producers in such countries may achieve acompetitive advantage over U. S. Steel. For further information, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings EnvironmentalProceedings and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations Environmental Matters, Litigation and Contingencies.

U. S. Steel is subject to foreign currency exchange risks as a result of its European and Canadian operations.USSEs revenues are primarily in euros and its costs are primarily in U.S. dollars and euros. U. S. Steel Canadas(USSCs) revenues and costs are denominated in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. In addition, international cashrequirements have been and in the future may be funded by intercompany loans, creating intercompany monetaryassets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currencies of the entities involved, which can impactincome when they are remeasured at the end of each period. A $1.6 billion U.S. dollar-denominated intercompanyloan from a U.S. subsidiary to a European subsidiary was the primary exposure at December 31, 2010.

Steels raw materials supply strategy consists of acquiring and expanding captive sources of these primaryraw materials and entering into multi-year supply contracts.

The amounts of such raw materials needed to produce a ton of steel will fluctuate based upon the specifications ofthe final steel products, the quality of raw materials and, to a lesser extent, differences among steel producingequipment. In broad terms, U. S. Steel estimates that it consumes about 1.4 tons of coal to produce one ton of
