Its revenue fell 8.5 percent to $15.2 billion.
Citing "excess" output and "aggressive exports" from China, the company said steel prices in Europe are well below the cost of production.
"The increased level of imports into Europe is a concern and stronger trade measures are urgently required to address this," ArcelorMittal chief executive Aditya Mittal said.
Mittal added that the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism "needs further strengthening to ensure it fulfills its aim of ensuring European steelmakers can remain competitive versus higher-emissions imports".
The CBAM imposes a carbon price on imports of good such as steel and cement from countries with lower environmental standards.
