Selected Notes 
 
to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
Six-month period ended 30 June 2015 
 
1.       Corporate Information 
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of EVRAZ plc
on 26 August 2015. 
 
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. 
 
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 13). In response the Group implemented a number of cost cutting initiatives, reduced
capital expenditures and continues to reduce the level of debt. 
 
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. 
 
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 2014, 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 2014. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014 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

Restatement of Financial Statements 
 
Subsidiaries that Ceased to Be Classified as Held for Sale 
 
At 30 June 2014, the disposal groups held for sale relating to the other segment included an office building in Moscow. In
the 2nd half of 2014, due to the current market conditions management decided not to sell this asset. 
 
As a result, the subsidiary owning the office building ceased to meet the definition of a disposal group held for sale. In
accordance with IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" the Group restated its consolidated
financial statements, including the relevant notes, for the periods in which the assets were classified as held for sale as
if the subsidiary had not been classified as assets held for sale in the past and all assets and liabilities and the
results of operations had been accounted for in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards
as adopted by the European Union. 
 
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 2014, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations and revision of existing IAS as
of 1 January 2015. 
 
New/Revised Standards and Interpretations Adopted in 2015: 
 
§  Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle 
 
These improvements were effective from 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in these
interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The amendments relate to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IFRS 13 "Fair
Value Measurement" and IAS 40 "Investment Property" and did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of
the Group. 
 
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 2014, in the second half of 2014, the
management reporting used by the chief operating decision maker for making decisions about resource allocation has been
changed to put more emphasis on analysis of the operating results of the coal segment and operations in North America. As
such, the comparative segment information for the first half of 2014 has been restated accordingly. 
 
The following tables present measures of segment profit or loss based on management accounts.

4.       Changes in Composition of the Group 
 
Deconsolidation of Highveld Steel and Vanadium Limited 
 
On 13 April 2015, as a result of severe economic difficulties due to the current and persistent unfavourable economic
environment in South Africa, the Board of Highveld Steel and Vanadium Limited ("Highveld") decided to place the entity
under the business rescue procedures to avoid its liquidation and to avoid giving Highveld's creditors the opportunity to
apply for its liquidation in court. 
 
The rescue procedures will result either in (1) Highveld being re-financed or financially restructured or, if that is not
possible, (2) Highveld's orderly winding down under the supervision of a business rescue practitioner to maximise the
return to creditors and other affected parties. 
 
Following the placement of Highveld under the business rescue procedures, control and management of Highveld was
transferred to a "business rescue practitioner".  Until Highveld is successfully re-financed/restructured, Highveld's Board
and the Group are no longer be able to control Highveld or exercise significant influence. The business rescue practitioner
can consult with the Highveld's Board or its directors, but he would not be bound by any requests or advice from Highveld's
Board or the directors. 
 
The Group's management believes that due to the current market conditions the option to invest additional cash in Highveld
to pay to the creditors and to stop business rescue procedures would create no economic value for the Group. Therefore, in
the opinion of management, the potential voting rights that the Group has in Highveld have no economic substance. 
 
Based on the management's current assessment, the business rescue procedures most likely will result in Highveld being sold
to one or more third parties at a significant discount or being mandatorily liquidated. As a consequence, management
believes that on 14 April 2015 (the date of the placement of Highveld under the business rescue procedures) the Group lost
control over Highveld and it is not expected that it will re-obtain control in the future. 
 
As a result, the Group ceased to consolidate Highveld starting 14 April 2015 and recognised a loss on disposal of a
subsidiary in the amount of $167 million, including $142 million of translation loss recycled to statement of operations.
In addition, non-controlling interests of $4 million were derecognised. Management analysed the classification of Highveld
to determine whether its disposal constitutes a discontinued operation under IFRS 5 and concluded that this is not the
case. 
 
The table below demonstrates the carrying values of assets and liabilities of Highveld, which was included in the steel
segment of the Group's operations, at the date of derecognition.

Disposal of EVRAZ Portland Structural Tubing 
 
In the first half of 2015, the Group sold assets of Portland Structural Tubing for a cash consideration of $51 million. The
Group recognised $20 million as a gain on disposal groups classified as held for sale. 
 
5.       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 2015 the Group assessed the recoverable amount of each
cash-generating unit ("CGU") where indicators of impairment were identified. 
 
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 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.

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 Raspadskaya, EVRAZ Caspian Steel, EVRAZ Stratcor Inc., EVRAZ Nikom, EVRAZ
Palini e Bertoli, EVRAZ Inc. NA and EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada cash-generating units. If the discount rates were 10% higher, this
would lead to an impairment of $223 million. 
 
Sales Prices 
 
The prices of the products sold by the Group were estimated using industry research. The Group expects that the nominal
prices will grow with a compound annual growth rate of (6.3)%-6.6% in 2015 - 2020 and 2.5%-3.0% in 2021 and thereafter.
Reasonably possible changes in sales prices in the 2nd half of 2015 and 2016 could lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Palini e
Bertoli, EVRAZ Stratcor Inc., EVRAZ Inc. NA and EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada cash-generating units. If the prices assumed for the
2nd half of 2015 and 2016 were 10% lower, this would lead to an impairment of $15 million. 
 
Sales Volumes 
 
Management assumed that the sales volumes of steel products would increase by 5.0% in 2016 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 2015 and 2016 could lead to an impairment at EVRAZ Inc. NA cash-generating units. If the sales volumes were 10%
lower than those assumed for the 2nd half of 2015 and 2016, this would lead to an impairment of $1 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 Caspian Steel, EVRAZ Sukha Balka, EVRAZ
Nikom, EVRAZ Palini e Bertoli, EVRAZ Stratcor Inc. and EVRAZ Inc. NA and EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada cash-generating units. If the
actual costs were 10% higher than those assumed for the 2nd half of 2015 and 2016, this would lead to an impairment of $109
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:
