Management Commentary

Eddie Lehner, Ryerson's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Halfway through our 179th year in business, our future has never looked brighter because of the committed resolve and adaptiveness of each of my Ryerson teammates working together to provide great customer experiences no matter the circumstances. Given the number and magnitude of the challenges encountered over the past eighteen months, we are all witnesses and participants in bringing out the best in one another. Looking back over the quarter and ahead, more signs are emerging that support a sustained manufacturing expansion featuring recyclable industrial metals that are at the epicenter of current and future societal needs. With supply still unable to meet current and anticipated demand, manufacturing order backlogs keep rolling over and extending, lending further support to favorable pricing dynamics. As Ryerson's overall performance and operating trajectory create step-change improvements to the balance sheet, we are pleased to announce noteworthy additions to our capital allocation plan with the establishment of an eight cent per share quarterly dividend and a $50 million share repurchase plan. This announcement affirms Ryerson's progress since our IPO and our vision for an intelligent network of interconnected industrial metals service centers providing great customer experiences at speed, scale and value-add."

End-Market Commentary

Ryerson noted sequential shipment per day improvement in our industrial equipment, food and agriculture and commercial ground transportation end-market sectors during the second quarter of 2021 and we continue to receive positive demand forecasts from these customers, despite persisting supply challenges. Consumer durable, metal fabrication and machine shop and HVAC sector end-markets saw declines relative to the first quarter of 2021 in North America on supply side constraints across labor, materials and transportation inputs.

The notable price increases in carbon steel products that began in the second half of 2020 have continued to climb as lead times remain extended. Mill capacity has been above 80% for the past several months and futures prices remain elevated through year-end. Likewise, LME aluminum gained 11% in the second quarter of 2021 and nickel prices appreciated 9%. At this point, we anticipate that prices across all three of our primary commodities will remain elevated at or near twelve-month highs through the third quarter and that price normalization will be gradual given supportive demand conditions.

Second Quarter Results

Ryerson achieved revenues of $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 23.7% compared to $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2021, with average selling prices 20.1% higher and tons shipped 2.9% higher. Gross margin expanded sequentially to 18.1% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 17.2% in the first quarter of 2021. Included in the second quarter of 2021 cost of goods sold was LIFO expense of $105 million, compared to LIFO expense of $84 million in first quarter, excluding which, gross margin expanded to 25.5% from 24.6%, respectively. Ryerson achieved expense leverage in the second quarter of 2021 as warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales was 12.6% compared to 15.0% in the first quarter of 2021.

Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the second quarter of 2021 was $113 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $25 million, or $0.66 per diluted share in the previous quarter. Included in the second quarter 2021 net income is an $87 million gain on the sale of assets related to sale-leaseback transactions. Excluding this and the associated income taxes, adjusted net income was $48 million, or $1.24 per diluted share and compares to $10 million, or $0.26, of adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share for the previous quarter. Record Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $197 million was achieved in the second quarter of 2021, which compares to $124 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $21 million in the year-ago period.

Liquidity & Debt Management

Ryerson ended the second quarter with 63 inventory days of supply and maintained receivables and payables cycles in-line with the first quarter of 2021. This contributed to a cash conversion cycle of 55 days for the period, compared to 53 days for the first quarter of 2021 and 91 days for the year-ago period.

The company generated free cash flow of $126 million and average free cash flow yield of 23% in the second quarter. Driven by asset backed credit facility repayments and proceeds from asset sales, net debt was reduced by $135 million compared to the first quarter of 2021. This achievement, combined with Ryerson's increasing trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO produced a leverage ratio of 1.5x, well within the Company's long-term target of 1-2x.

In July 2021, Ryerson redeemed $100 million of its outstanding 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "Notes") utilizing proceeds from property sale-leasebacks at a price of 104% and another $50 million at a price of 103%. After these partial redemptions, $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding, compared to the $500 million in original principal issued in July of 2020. This $200 million reduction in the Notes has reduced our annual interest expense by $17 million.

Ryerson's global liquidity rose to $890 million as of June 30, 2021 from $583 million as of March 31, 2021 driven by proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction, strong earnings generation and higher working capital asset values.

Stockholder Return Activity

On August 4, 2021, the Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, or an anticipated $0.32 on an annualized basis, on the company's shares of common stock. Ryerson's first dividend payment will be made on September 16, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2021. In addition, on August 4, 2021, the Board also approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $50 million of the Company's common stock over the next two-year period.

Jim Claussen, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer said, "Our second quarter results reflect the success of our financial transformation as we continued to effectively manage working capital, realized expense leverage and achieved a net debt leverage ratio within our long-term target range. With Ryerson's substantially lower fixed cash commitments and its proven ability to effectively manage working capital, we are pleased to announce a return of capital to shareholders in the form of a dividend while also continuing to invest in the business to drive long-term growth."

Outlook Commentary

Ryerson is optimistic about the third quarter industry environment. Pricing across all three of Ryerson's primary product lines continues to increase while the Company expects volumes to follow normal seasonality patterns. Therefore, Ryerson anticipates third quarter 2021 revenues in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion with sequential average selling prices 10 to 12% higher and shipments flat to down 3% compared to the second quarter of 2021. LIFO expense in the third quarter is expected to be in the range of $88 to $92 million provided average inventory costs continue to rise. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO is expected to be in the range of $208 to $212 million and earnings per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $1.63 to $1.73.

Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, reorganization expenses, gain on sales of assets, gain on insurance settlement, gain or loss on retirement of debt, pension settlement charge, purchase consideration and other transaction costs, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), 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), 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), 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), targets. We also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), to benchmark our operating performance to that of our competitors. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), 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), 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), which is calculated as gross profit minus LIFO expense (income), divided by net sales. We have excluded LIFO expense (income) from 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), gross margin, excluding LIFO expense (income), and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), as a percentage of sales may differ from that of other companies.
