Selected Notes 
 
to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
Six-month period ended 30 June 2016 
 
1.       Corporate Information 
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of EVRAZ plc
on 17 August 2016. 
 
EVRAZ plc ("EVRAZ plc" or "the Company") was incorporated on 23 September 2011 as a public company under the laws of the
United Kingdom with the registered number 7784342. The Company's registered office is at 5th Floor, 6 St. Andrew Street,
London, EC4A 3AE, United Kingdom. 
 
The Company, together with its subsidiaries (the "Group"), is involved in the production and distribution of steel and
related products and coal and iron ore mining.  In addition, the Group produces vanadium products. The Group is one of the
largest steel producers globally. 
 
Lanebrook Limited (Cyprus) is the ultimate controlling party of the Company. 
 
2.       Significant Accounting Policies 
 
Basis of Preparation 
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. Accordingly, these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for a complete set of
financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2015, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted
by the European Union. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 435 of
the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the full year is based on the statutory accounts for the financial
year ended 31 December 2015. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The auditor's report under section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to those accounts was unqualified,
did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their
report and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
Operating results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending 31 December 2016. 
 
Going Concern 
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 
 
The Group's activities in all of its operating segments continue to be affected by the uncertainty and instability of the
current economic environment (Note 12). In response, the Group implemented a number of cost cutting initiatives, reduced
capital expenditures, continues to reduce the level of debt and proactively manages its debt covenants compliance. 
 
Based on the currently available facts and circumstances the directors and management have a reasonable expectation that
the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Restatement of Financial Statements 
 
Reclassification of Expenses 
 
In 2016, the Group reclassified property tax accrued and paid by the production subsidiaries from general and
administrative expenses to the "cost of revenue" caption. The Group also reclassified staff costs of certain categories of
personnel and the related expenses from cost of revenue to general and administrative expenses. 
 
The reclassifications were made to better reflect the nature of these costs in the current business environment and in
order to make the financial statements more comparable with industry peers. 
 
The effects of the restatement on the previously reported amounts are set out below.

Changes in Accounting Policies 
 
In the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group followed the same accounting
policies and methods of computation as compared with those applied in the complete consolidated financial statements for
year ended 31 December 2015, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations and revision of existing IAS as
of 1 January 2016. 
 
New/Revised Standards and Interpretations Adopted in 2016: 
 
§  Amendments to IAS 19 - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions 
 
IAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when accounting for defined benefit
plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they should be attributed to periods of service as a negative
benefit. This amendment is not relevant to the Group, since none of the entities within the Group has defined benefit plans
with contributions from employees. 
 
2.       Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
 
Changes in Accounting Policies (continued) 
 
§  Amendments to IAS 1 - Disclosure Initiative 
 
The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements clarify existing IAS 1 requirements: 
 
Ø The materiality requirements in IAS 1 
 
Ø The requirements that apply when additional subtotals are presented in the statement of financial position and the
statements of profit or loss and OCI 
 
Ø That specific line items in the statements of profit or loss and OCI and the statement of financial position may be
disaggregated 
 
Ø That entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements 
 
Ø That the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in
aggregate as a single line item, and classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to
profit or loss. 
 
§  Amendments to IFRS 11 - Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 
 
The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation,
in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, must apply the relevant IFRS 3 principles for business
combinations accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured
on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, a
scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint
control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party. The amendments
apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests
in the same joint operation and are prospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with
early adoption permitted. 
 
§  Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation 
 
The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are
generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed
through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment
and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. 
 
§  Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 - Bearer Plants 
 
The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under
the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41.
Instead, IAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under IAS 16 at accumulated cost
(before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The amendments also require that
produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of IAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For
government grants related to bearer plants, IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance
will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with
early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group as the Group does not have any
bearer plants. 
 
§  Amendments to IAS 27 - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements 
 
The amendments allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and
associates in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying IFRS and electing to change to the equity
method in its separate financial statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. 
 
2.       Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
 
Changes in Accounting Policies (continued) 
 
§  Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle 
 
The amendments relate to IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment, IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", IAS 16
"Property, Plant and Equipment" and "IAS 38 Intangible Assets", IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures". 
 
§  Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle 
 
The amendments relate to IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations", IFRS 7 "Financial
Instruments: Disclosures", IAS 19 "Employee Benefits", IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". 
 
The amendments described above had no significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group or the
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 
 
The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet
effective. 
 
3.       Segment Information 
 
As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, in the second half of 2015,
management changed the definition of segment expense and EBITDA to make these indicators more comparable with Russian steel
peers. Segment expense and EBITDA were adjusted to not include social and social infrastructure maintenance expenses. As
such, the comparative segment information for the first half of 2015 has been restated accordingly. 
 
The following tables present measures of segment profit or loss based on management accounts.

4.       Impairment of Non-current Assets 
 
The Group recognised impairment losses as a result of the impairment testing at the level of cash-generating units. In
addition, the Group made a write-off of certain functionally obsolete items of property, plant and equipment. 
 
For the purpose of the impairment testing as of 30 June 2016 the Group assessed the recoverable amount of each
cash-generating unit ("CGU") where indicators of impairment were identified. 
 
4.       Impairment of Non-current Assets (continued) 
 
In the first half of 2016, based on the analysis of market changes and cash inflow dependence between the assets and new
business organisational structure, management redefined the composition of cash generating units of Steel North America for
the purposes of impairment testing. The assets of EVRAZ Inc. NA and EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada, which were previously allocated
to cash-generating units based on individual plant level, were merged into 5 new units based on principal markets served by
each cash-generating unit: 
 
§ Large diameter pipes; 
 
§ Oil Country Tubular Goods (casing and tubing); 
 
§ Seamless pipes; 
 
§ Flat rolled products (plates and coils); 
 
§ Long products (rails, rod and bar products). 
 
The recoverable amount has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on the
actual operating results and business plans approved by management and appropriate discount rates reflecting the time value
of money and risks associated with respective cash-generating units. For the periods not covered by management business
plans, cash flow projections have been estimated by extrapolating the respective business plans' results using a zero real
growth rate. The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations with respect to the cash-generating
units to which the goodwill was allocated and where indicators of impairment existed are presented in the table below.

4.       Impairment of Non-current Assets (continued) 
 
As a result of impairment testing, the Group recognised a $16 million impairment loss with regards to EVRAZ Stratcor Inc.
and made a partial reversal of impairment of EVRAZ Palini e Bertoli in the amount of $19 million. 
 
Discount Rates 
 
Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to each cash-generating unit. The discount rates
have been determined using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and analysis of industry peers. Reasonably possible changes in
discount rates could lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Sukha Balka, EVRAZ Stratcor Inc. and EVRAZ Inc. NA cash-generating
units. If the discount rates were 10% higher, this would lead to an impairment of $69 million. 
 
Sales Prices 
 
The price assumptions of the products sold by the Group were estimated using industry research using analysts' views
published by Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, RBC, UBS, VTB during the period from April to June
2016. The Group expects that the nominal prices will grow with a compound annual growth rate of (7.0)%-6.6% in 2016 - 2021
and 2.0%-2.5% in 2022 and thereafter. Reasonably possible changes in sales prices in the 2nd half of 2016 and 2017 could
lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Sukha Balka and EVRAZ Stratcor Inc. cash-generating units. If the prices assumed for the 2nd
half of 2016 and 2017 were 10% lower, this would lead to an impairment of $4 million. 
 
Sales Volumes 
 
Management assumed that the sales volumes of steel products would increase by 12.2% in 2017 and future dynamics will be
driven by gradual market recovery and changes in assets' capacities. Reasonably possible changes in sales volumes in the
2nd half of 2016 and 2017 could lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Stratcor Inc. If the sales volumes were 10% lower than those
assumed for the 2nd half of 2016 and 2017, this would lead to an impairment of $5 million. 
 
Cost Control Measures 
 
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are based on the business plans approved by management. A reasonably
possible deviation of cost from these plans could lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Sukha Balka and EVRAZ Stratcor Inc.
cash-generating units. If the actual costs were 10% higher than those assumed for the 2nd half of 2016 and 2017, this would
lead to an impairment of $17 million. 
 
The unit's recoverable amount would become equal to its carrying amount if the assumptions used to measure the recoverable
amount changed as follows: 
 
                            Discount rates  Sales prices  Sales volumes  Cost control measures

7.       Investments in Joint Ventures and Associates 
 
The movement in investments in joint ventures and associates during the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 was as
follows: 
 
 US$ million             Timir        Streamcore   Other associates  Total          
 At 31 December 2015     $        40  $        26  $           8     $          74  
 Share of profit/(loss)  (24)         2            -                 (22)           
 Translation difference  5            4            -                 9

The Group assessed the recoverability of its investment in Timir at 30 June 2016. The recoverable amount of the asset was
based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on the business plans approved by management and an
appropriate discount rate reflecting the time value of money and risks associated with the asset. The period of the
forecast was 25 years. The discount rates were 11.78%. As a result, in the 1st half of 2016, the Group partially impaired
its investment in Timir. The major drivers that led to impairment were the decrease in the expected long-term prices for
iron ore, the increase in the amount of the required capital expenditures to maintain the production at the budgeted
capacities and the postponement of the start of production for 2 years. 
 
7.       Investments in Joint Ventures and Associates (continued) 
 
In the value-in-use calculation management assumed that the railway tariffs for the iron ore transportation in the Yakutia
region, which are established by the local railway companies, will be reduced to the general level of the tariffs in
Russia. These tariffs have not been agreed yet by the parties. If the assumption were not valid, this would lead to an
additional impairment of $58 million which would give a $21 million effect on the share of profits/(losses) of joint
ventures and associates recognised in the consolidated statement of operations. 
 
8.       Related Party Disclosures

Earnings per Share 
 
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net
profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the potential
dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares. 
 
The following reflects the profit and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

12.     Commitments and Contingencies 
 
Operating Environment of the Group 
 
The Group is one of the largest vertically integrated steel producers globally and the largest steel producer in Russia.
The Group's major subsidiaries are located in Russia, Ukraine, the USA and Canada. Russia and Ukraine are considered to be
developing markets with higher economic and political risks. Steel consumption is affected by the cyclical nature of demand
for steel products and the sensitivity of that demand to worldwide general economic conditions. 
 
The global economic recession resulted in a significantly lower demand for steel products and decreased profitability. In
addition, the political crisis over Ukraine led to an additional uncertainty in the global economy. The unrest in the
Southeastern region of Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia caused the depreciation of national currencies
and economic slowdown in Russia and Ukraine. In addition, a significant drop in crude oil prices negatively impacted the
Russian economy. The combination of the above resulted in increased inflation and uncertainty regarding economic growth. If
the Ukrainian crisis broadens and further sanctions are imposed on Russia, this could have an adverse impact on the Group's
business. 
 
Management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current
circumstances. 
 
The global economic climate continues to be unstable and this may negatively affect the Group's results and financial
position
