United States Steel Corporation has projected a loss for the fourth quarter, as reported on Thursday. Consequently, the company's shares declined by over 3% in after-hours trading.

The company anticipates an adjusted loss per share for the fourth quarter to be within the range of $0.29 to $0.25. Additionally, the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 is approximately $150 million.

"This quarter represents a vital milestone in our 'Best for All' initiative, highlighted by the completion of over $4 billion in growth capital investments," stated David B. Burritt, President and CEO of U.S. Steel. He noted the first coil production at Big River 2 (BR2) on October 31, 2024, with shipments to customers commencing in December. Burritt expressed optimism about bolstering the company’s earnings resilience and increasing free cash flow in alignment with their commercial strategy.

However, Burritt acknowledged that the adjusted EBITDA guidance of $150 million falls short of previous fourth-quarter projections. The sector continues to face pressure from depressed steel prices and costs associated with ramping up operations at BR2, as efforts to increase prime tonnage production at the new mill are underway.
