RYERSON REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Uses Strong Cash Flow to Reduce Debt

 

•

Reported earnings per share of $0.21 in the third quarter of 2015.

 

•

Generated operating cash flow of $30 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $193 million in the first nine months of 2015.

 

•

Reduced debt $165 million, including $60 million of notes repurchased through the first nine months of 2015.

 

•

Ryerson is implementing a $20 million expense reduction initiative and is expecting realizations of more than $10 million from the sale of non-core assets.

CHICAGO – November 12, 2015 – Ryerson Holding Corporation (NYSE: RYI), a leading distributor and processor of metals, today reported results for the third quarter of 2015.

“I’m proud of the Ryerson team, the strong execution in the field, and our continued expense and working capital management,” said Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s president and chief executive officer. “Despite the pressures associated with declining industry shipments and a sharp, protracted decline in metals pricing, Ryerson’s third quarter tons shipped increased slightly and we more closely aligned our average cost inventory with current market prices. When we peel back the macro, we are a company that continues to improve its competitive position in the industry.”

Third Quarter 2015 Results

Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $790.0 million, down 6.0 percent from the second quarter of 2015 and down 16.7 percent from the third quarter of 2014. Sequentially, a 0.8 percent increase in tons shipped per day was more than offset by a 6.7 percent decline in the average selling price. On a year-over-year basis, tons shipped per day declined 5.0 percent and the average selling price was down 12.2 percent.

Gross margin was 19.0 percent for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 19.7 percent for the second quarter of 2015 and 15.8 percent in the year-ago period. Included in the third quarter of 2015 in cost of materials sold was a $9.0 million charge to record LIFO inventory at the lower of cost or market, which partially offset LIFO income of $30.3 million. During the third quarter market prices declined below the LIFO value of inventory, which was primarily determined when Ryerson was acquired in October 2007 and average selling prices were 20 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2015. In the event of further market price declines, the company expects LIFO income to be largely offset by lower of cost or market charges.

Gross margin, excluding LIFO was 16.3 percent for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 15.3 percent for the second quarter of 2015 and 17.8 percent for the third quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of gross margin, excluding LIFO to gross margin is included below in this news release.

“While average metals prices continued to fall through the third quarter, we were able to capture a 100 basis point improvement in gross margins, excluding LIFO, as a result of our strong inventory management,” continued Lehner.

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense of $112.8 million was down 1.2 percent sequentially from the second quarter of 2015. Third quarter of 2014 warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense of $154.1 million included $32.7 million associated with the Initial Public Offering (IPO). Excluding the IPO-related expenses, warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense was down 7.1 percent year-over-year.

---

Operating profit was $37.0 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $50.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a loss of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, which included the $32.7 million of IPO-related expenses.

Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation was $6.7 million, or $0.21 per share in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $15.8 million, or $0.49 per share in the second quarter of 2015 and a net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $34.7 million, or a loss of $1.26 per share, in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the aforementioned IPO-related expenses as well as $12.4 million of debt redemption expenses incurred during the period, net income in the third quarter of 2014 was $2.6 million, or $0.09 per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO was $29.7 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $62.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO to net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation is included below in this news release.

Ryerson reduced third quarter average cost inventory by $42 million, or 7 percent, from second quarter levels. As a result of the company’s working capital management, Ryerson generated cash flow from operating activities of $29.7 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $9.6 million.

Corporate Developments

In light of challenging macro conditions, including continued depressed metals pricing, Ryerson is taking actions to further reduce expense levels. The company expects to achieve annualized savings of $20 million by mid-year 2016. The company has also identified non-core assets for sale and expects to realize proceeds of more than $10 million from these sales over the next three to six months.

---

On July 29, 2015, the company announced a new $1 billion credit facility, replacing its previous credit facility. The new, asset-based facility extends the maturity date and reduces the interest rate on outstanding borrowings as well as reduces commitment fees as compared to the previous credit facility.

On August 4, 2015, Ryerson announced the acquisition of Southern Tool Steel (STS), a privately-owned metals service center company headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. STS brings a highly diversified, largely transactional account base and a specialization in bar processing.

During the third quarter of 2015, Ryerson purchased on the open market $15 million principal amount of long-term notes.

Nine Month 2015 Results

Revenues for the first nine months of 2015 were $2.5 billion, down 9.3 percent from the first nine months of 2014. Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation was $20.0 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to a net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $30.5 million, or a loss of $1.31 per share for the same period of 2014. Excluding impairment charges on assets of $14.2 million, or $0.29 per share after tax, net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation was $29.1 million or $0.91 per share, in the first nine months of 2015. Excluding IPO-related and debt redemption expenses, net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation was $6.8 million, or $0.29 per share, in the first nine months of 2014. A reconciliation of net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation and earnings per share, excluding impairment charges on assets and IPO-related and debt redemption charges to net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation is included below in this news release. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO was $94.8 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to $177.4 million in the year-ago period.

---

Due to strong working capital management, Ryerson generated $193 million of operating cash flow through the first nine months of 2015. “With this, we made progress toward our goal of deleveraging the balance sheet, as we reduced our debt $165 million, including $60 million of notes purchased on the open market during the first nine months of 2015,” stated Erich Schnaufer, Ryerson’s interim chief financial officer. “Furthermore, in addition to our plan to reduce annual expenses by $20 million, our new credit facility and note repurchases will reduce annual interest expense by approximately $9 million.”

“We are acting aggressively to control expenses, manage working capital, and strengthen our balance sheet, while investing in value-added capabilities and bolt-on acquisitions – steps necessary to perform our best in the current market environment and position us to capitalize on our scale when the metals market recovers,” concluded Lehner.

Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, impairment charges on assets, reorganization expenses and the payment of management fees. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, provides useful information to investors regarding our operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our core financial performance and provide a basis of comparison of results between current, past and future periods. We also disclose the metric Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, to provide a means of comparison amongst our competitors who may not use the same basis of accounting for inventories. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, are three of the primary metrics management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of our business without the effect of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, expenses, revenues and gains (losses) that are unrelated to the day to day performance of our business. We also establish compensation programs for our executive management and regional employees that are based upon the achievement of pre-established EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, targets. We also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, to benchmark our operating performance to that of our competitors. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, is necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. This release also presents gross margin, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, which is calculated as gross profit plus LIFO expense (or minus LIFO income), net, divided by net sales. We have excluded LIFO expense (income), net from the gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales metrics in order to provide a means of comparison amongst our competitors who may not use the same basis of accounting for inventories as we do. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, gross margin, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), net, as a percentage of sales may differ from that of other companies.
