Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2003 gives effect to the sale of U. S. Steel's coal
mining assets, the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of National
Steel Corporation (National), including certain effects of the new labor
agreement with the United Steelworkers of America (USWA), as it relates to
National's employees (as described in the notes to this unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statement of operations) and the associated financing
incurred by U. S. Steel to complete the acquisition as if these transactions had
occurred on January 1, 2003.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been
developed from the audited consolidated statement of operations of United States
Steel Corporation (U. S. Steel) for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the
unaudited consolidated statement of operations of National for the year-to-date
period ended May 20, 2003.
The pro forma financial information herein is based on available information and
certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable and which are
described in the accompanying notes. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments have been made to these financial statements to fairly present the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is provided for
illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual
consolidated results of operations of U. S. Steel would have been had these
transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of
future consolidated results of operations. A number of factors may affect U. S.
Steel's results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations should be read in conjunction with the separate historical
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of U. S. Steel and
National.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

(1) Column reflects the adjustments for the sale of U. S. Steel's coal mining
assets on June 30, 2003. The sale does not meet the criteria for
presentation as a discontinued operation.
(a) Reflects adjustment to remove revenues, cost of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion and
amortization and the gain on disposal of assets related to the coal
mining sale.
(b) Reflects adjustment to reflect U. S. Steel's intercompany revenue and
cost of revenues related to the coal mining assets, which were
historically eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Reflects the income tax effects of the adjustments made at the
statutory rate of 35%.
(2) Column reflects a condensed historical statement of operations of National
and was derived from National's unaudited debtor-in-possession consolidated
statement of operations for the year-to-date period ended May 20, 2003.
National's net sales, equity income of affiliates, other items, and net
gain on the disposal of non-core assets and other related activities have
been reclassified to revenues and other income to conform with U. S.
Steel's presentation.
(3) Column reflects the elimination of revenues and other income and expenses
associated with assets not purchased and liabilities not assumed from
National. The following is a description of the significant adjustments
reflected in this column:
o The adjustments to cost of revenues and selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily reflect the elimination of
historical expenses related to pension and other postretirement
benefits (OPEB) as a result of U. S. Steel not assuming any pension or
OPEB liabilities under National's existing employee benefit plans or
union contracts. In addition, the adjustments to cost of revenues
include $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 related to
costs associated to assets not purchased by U. S. Steel in the
acquisition.
o The adjustment to reorganization items reflects the removal of
expenses related directly to National's bankruptcy proceedings and
expenses incurred related to debtor-in-possession and other long-term
agreements that are not being assumed by U. S. Steel in the
acquisition.

o The adjustment to interest expense reflects the removal of interest
expense associated with debt obligations of National not assumed by
U. S. Steel in the acquisition.
o The adjustment to income tax provision (benefit) reflects an
adjustment to achieve a 35% statutory tax rate on the pre-tax income
reflected in the Adjusted National column.
(4) Column reflects the revenues and expenses related to the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed from National.
(5) Column reflects pro forma adjustments associated with the acquisition of
substantially all of National's assets and the associated financing
arrangements, as follows:
(d) Reflects the elimination of revenues and cost of revenues for
transactions between U. S. Steel and National that would be eliminated
in consolidation.
(e) Reflects the annual pension and OPEB expense associated with
National's represented and non-represented employees. The amounts
relating to employees represented by the USWA have been calculated
based on the benefits offered under the new labor contract, which
includes the workforce reduction under the Transition Assistance
Program. U. S. Steel is not reflecting any wage savings related to the
new labor agreement.
(f) Reflects adjustments to reduce the historical depreciation, depletion
and amortization recorded by National to reflect the reduced value of
the property, plant and equipment and the value assigned to intangible
assets that was recorded on U. S. Steel's books. The weighted average
useful life of the property, plant and equipment and the intangible
assets acquired is approximately 14 years and 6 years, respectively.
