Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: 鈥淲e finished 2019 on an exciting note with the announcement of the acquisition of AK Steel by 星空传媒. With this transformational acquisition we will become a leading supplier of the most sophisticated carbon and stainless steel products to high-end clients, including engineered parts to the automotive industry as a Tier 1 supplier to several different models of cars, SUVs and trucks. On top of that, we will be totally self-sufficient in pellets and rely only on ourselves to get our iron ore feedstock, while preserving our ability to supply customized pellets to other steel mills, as we have been doing so successfully for a long time. The performance of the new 星空传媒 will be less subject to the volatility of commodity indices and more reliant on fixed-price contracts, which will provide us with much more predictable free cash flow generation.鈥
Mr. Goncalves continued, "In 2019 we also made incredible progress in advancing our Toledo HBI project to an ahead-of-schedule completion. We remain on track to start producing and selling this highly sought-after product to the marketplace in the first half of this year. With both the upcoming completion of the acquisition of AK Steel and the Toledo HBI plant coming online, 2020 will be a transformational year for us, and we can't wait to deliver on all of the potential 星空传媒 has in store.鈥
Mr. Goncalves concluded: 鈥淭o our shareholders, I want to personally thank you in advance for your vote approving the AK Steel transaction, which will open up immense opportunities for us that we could not achieve otherwise as a commodity price driven standalone company."

*Excludes revenues and expenses related to freight, which are offsetting and have no impact on sales margin. |
Mining and Pelletizing pellet sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 5.8 million long tons, a 10 percent decrease when compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was a result of reduced customer demand, partially offset by intercompany sales to the Toledo HBI plant.
Realized revenues were $91 per long ton in the fourth quarter of 2019. The quarter's results were negatively impacted by an unfavorable true-up of previously sold volumes due to lower pellet premiums and HRC prices, as well as unfavorable customer mix.
Fourth-quarter cash cost of goods sold rate2 of $64 decreased 3 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, as a result of lower royalties and employee-related expenses.
Outlook
All outlook projections only refer to Cliffs on a standalone basis, and do not contemplate the pending acquisition of AK Steel.
Based on the following full-year average pricing assumptions:
- iron ore prices of $90 per metric ton,
- steel prices of $650 per short ton,
- and pellet premiums of $50 per metric ton;
Cliffs would expect to generate approximately $300-325 million of net income and $550-575 million of Adjusted EBITDA1 for the full-year 2020 on a standalone basis.
In 2020, the standalone Company also expects:
- $125 million in interest expense,
- $25 million in tax expense (all non-cash),
- and $100 million in depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
Additionally, Cliffs expects to receive approximately $60 million in cash tax refunds during the third quarter of 2020.
On a standalone basis, Cliffs' 2020 capital spending expectation is $350-$400 million, including the remaining spend to complete the Toledo HBI production plant, sustaining capital, and capitalized interest.
Conference Call Information
星空传媒 Inc. will host a conference call this morning, February 20, 2020, at 10 a.m. ET. The call will be broadcast live and archived on Cliffs' website: .

2 CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION EXPLANATIONS
The Company presents cash cost of goods sold rate per long ton, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that management uses in evaluating operating performance. Cliffs believes the presentation of non-GAAP cash cost of goods sold is useful to investors because it excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, which are non-cash, and freight, which has no impact on sales margin, thus providing a more accurate view of the cash outflows related to the sale of iron ore. The presentation of this measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of this measure may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Below is a reconciliation in dollars of this non-GAAP financial measure to the Mining and Pelletizing segment cost of goods sold.
