Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Operating results for the second quarter of 2025 were strong. The Company's tons sold in the second quarter of 2025 were a record and increased 4.0% year-over-year, reflecting continued market share gains. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, tons sold declined 0.9%, near the low end of the Company's guidance.

Reliance's average selling price per ton sold surpassed expectations, increasing 6.1% compared to the first quarter of 2025, doubling the high end of the Company's guidance of up 1% to 3%. Given the strong tariff-driven momentum of both demand and pricing near the end of the first quarter, pricing for many -products peaked in April, then declined for the remainder of the quarter. Pricing for most products, however, is at relatively steady levels entering the third quarter with potential upside for aluminum and stainless steel products. See Business Outlook for additional details.

As a result, the Company's non-GAAP FIFO gross profit margin realization was slightly lower than expected increasing moderately from 30.4% in the first quarter of 2025 to 30.6% in the second quarter of 2025. Reliance's non-GAAP LIFO gross profit margin also increased incrementally to 29.9% from 29.7% in the first quarter of 2025, inclusive of $25.0 million of LIFO expense in both periods. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $4.43 were slightly below management's expectations but, nonetheless up 17.5% from the first quarter 2025 as Reliance continues to gain market share, end market demand remains healthy, and policy conditions remain favorable for domestically sourced metals companies.

Management Commentary

"Our solid results once again demonstrate the resilience of our proven business model in a volatile environment," said Karla Lewis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance. "Our management teams continue to excel in providing value to our customers and increasing market share, while effectively managing their businesses through uncertain markets. Our record second-quarter tons sold once again significantly outperformed the industry due to our unparalleled scale, access to domestic metal and breadth of processing capabilities. Importantly, we maintained a strong gross profit margin within our sustainable range of 29% to 31%, in line with our smart, profitable growth initiative, increasing our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by 18% over the prior quarter."

Mrs. Lewis continued, "While we anticipate some weakness in the third quarter, we remain confident in our ability to continue to outperform the industry and take advantage of improved demand and pricing environments as we emerge from these highly uncertain times. As such, we continue to think, act, and invest for the long-term success of our stakeholders. Our long-time practice of primarily sourcing domestic metals and operating in the United States affords Reliance a strong competitive advantage in the current uncertain trade environment. Our strong cash generation continues to support investments in value-added processing equipment, organic growth and accretive acquisitions, that positions Reliance for growth in all market environments. Additionally, we remain dedicated to returning capital to our stockholders with $143.0 million returned through dividends and share repurchases in the second quarter and over 1.2 million shares repurchased year-to-date at favorable prices."

End Market Commentary

Reliance provides a diverse range of metal products and value-added processing services to a wide variety of end markets, generally in small quantities on an as-needed basis. The Company's tons sold in the second quarter of 2025 increased 4.0% compared to the prior-year quarter and decreased 0.9% compared to the first quarter of 2025, consistent with management's expectations of down 1% to up 1%. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the Company's increase in tons sold surpassed the industry-wide decline of 3.1% reported by the Metals Service Center Institute by over 7 percentage points.

Demand for non-residential construction (including infrastructure), Reliance's largest end market by tons, improved from the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects non-residential construction demand to remain at healthy levels in the third quarter of 2025, supported by continued new construction projects across diverse sectors including data centers, energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and public infrastructure.

Demand across the broader manufacturing sectors Reliance serves increased compared to the second quarter of 2024. These diverse sectors include industrial machinery, military, consumer products, heavy equipment for agriculture and construction, shipbuilding and rail, among others. Reliance anticipates that demand for its products across the broader manufacturing sector will experience a customary seasonal slowdown in the third quarter of 2025.

Demand in aerospace was stable compared to the second quarter of 2024. Reliance anticipates mildly weaker commercial aerospace demand in the third quarter of 2025, due to excess supply chain inventory. Demand in the military and space related portions of Reliance's aerospace business is expected to remain consistent at strong levels in the third quarter of 2025.

Demand for the toll processing services Reliance provides to the automotive market was stable compared to the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects demand for automotive toll processing to remain stable in the third quarter of 2025, subject to significant uncertainty about North American trade policy. Reliance's toll processing operations remain flexible and able to quickly adapt to changes in the market.

Demand in the semiconductor market remained depressed compared to the second quarter of 2024. The Company anticipates semiconductor demand will remain under pressure in the third quarter of 2025 due to continued excess inventory in the supply chain.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2025, Reliance's cash and cash equivalents totaled $239.5 million with total debt outstanding of $1.43 billion, including $282.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Company's $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.

Reliance generated cash flow from operations of $229.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included a typical seasonal investment in working capital. Reliance continues to generate strong cash flow from operations throughout market cycles that it redeploys to execute the Company's opportunistic capital allocation strategies.

Stockholder Return Activity

On July 22, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.20 per share of common stock, payable on August 29, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2025.

Reliance repurchased 301,279 shares of its common stock in the second quarter of 2025 at an average price of $265.17 per share, for a total of $79.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, $1.02 billion remained available under the Company's share repurchase program that was replenished to $1.5 billion on October 22, 2024. Since 2020, Reliance has repurchased approximately 16.3 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $196.48 per share for a total of $3.2 billion.

Business Outlook

Reliance anticipates overall demand in the third quarter of 2025 will remain stable across the diversified end markets it serves, subject to normal seasonal patterns, which reflects both a seasonal decline in shipping volumes attributable to planned customer shutdowns and vacation schedules and ongoing uncertainty regarding domestic and international trade policy. Accordingly, the Company estimates its tons sold in the third quarter of 2025 will be down 1.0% to 3.0% compared to the second quarter of 2025, but up 3.0% to 5.0% compared to the third quarter of 2024. In addition, Reliance expects its average selling price per ton sold for the third quarter of 2025 will be down 1.0% to up 1.0% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by lower prices for carbon steel products and partially offset by higher prices for certain aluminum and stainless products. Consequently, the Company anticipates its FIFO gross profit margin to remain under some pressure in the third quarter of 2025. Based on these expectations, Reliance anticipates non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $3.60 to $3.80 for the third quarter of 2025, inclusive of LIFO expense of $25.0 million or $0.36 per diluted share.

Reliance, Inc.'s presentation of non-GAAP pretax income, net income and EPS over certain time periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to the Company's historical performance for its existing and future stockholders. Adjustments include restructuring charges, non-recurring income of its acquisitions, gains on sales of non-core property, plant, and equipment, and non-recurring settlement charges, which make comparisons of the Company's operating results between periods difficult using GAAP measures. Reliance, Inc.'s presentation of gross profit margin - FIFO, which is calculated as gross profit plus LIFO expense (or minus LIFO income) divided by net sales, is presented to provide a means of comparison amongst its competitors who may not use the same inventory valuation method. Please see footnote 1 below for additional information on the Company's gross profit and gross profit margin. Reliance, Inc. presents net debt- and total debt-to-EBITDA as a measurement of leverage utilized by management to monitor its debt levels in relation to its operating cash flow for which it utilizes EBITDA as a proxy. Reliance, Inc. presents free cash flow as a measure of cash generated by its operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in growth activities or returned to stockholders.

Footnotes

¹ Gross profit, calculated as net sales less cost of sales, and gross profit margin, calculated as gross profit divided by net sales, are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude depreciation and amortization expense associated with the corresponding sales. About half of Reliance's orders are basic distribution with no processing services performed. For the remainder of its sales orders, Reliance performs "first-stage" processing, which is generally not labor intensive as it is simply cutting the metal to size. Because of this, the amount of related labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, is not significant and is excluded from cost of sales. Therefore, Reliance's cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the material it sells. Reliance uses gross profit and gross profit margin, as shown, as measures of operating performance. Gross profit and gross profit margin are important operating and financial measures, as their fluctuations can have a significant impact on Reliance's earnings. Gross profit and gross profit margin, as presented, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.
