Management Commentary

Eddie Lehner, Ryerson's President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, said, "During the third quarter, we executed on our self-help playbook, delivering on perennial service center fundamentals of speed, availability, consistency, and on-time-delivery as we effectively managed the business amidst a procession of challenges that have endured for 36 months running. As the Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) continues to live at recessed levels for 33 out of the past 36 months and MSCI (Metals Service Center Industry) demand has declined year over year, it is a buyer's market evidenced by discounting and smaller orders sizes. Areas of particular weakness in the quarter were OEM contract shipments and carbon steel margin compression. Areas of strength were transactional sales growth and further operationalization of new investments made over the past three years. We generated revenue and shipments within our guidance range while reducing debt, taking out non-value-added expenses, and managing net working capital efficiently. I would like to thank all of my colleagues for their safe, productive and determined efforts throughout the quarter and year-to-date as we position Ryerson for better times ahead."

Third Quarter Results

Ryerson generated net sales of $1.16 billion in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 0.7% compared to the prior quarter but within our guidance range. Average selling prices increased by 2.6% while tons shipped decreased by 3.2% quarter-over-quarter. Third quarter revenue performance reflects tariff supported pricing for our carbon and aluminum products partially offset by weak demand conditions.

Market conditions placed pressure on gross margin during the third quarter, resulting in a 70 basis point contraction to 17.2%, compared to 17.9% for the second quarter of 2025. LIFO expense recorded for the third quarter was consistent with that of the second, $13.2 million, reflective of continued commodity price inflation in our stainless steel and aluminum product categories during the period. Excluding the impact of LIFO, gross margin contracted by 70 basis points to 18.3% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 19.0% in the second quarter.

Third quarter warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses of $200.5 million represents a decrease of $3.1 million, or 1.5% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Sequential expense decreases were driven by lower variable expenses. Compared to the prior year period, third quarter 2025 operating expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 1.8%, on a nominal basis, but decreased as a percentage of sales by 20 basis points to 17.3%.

Net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the third quarter of 2025 was $14.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the previous quarter. Ryerson generated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $40.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Liquidity & Debt Management

In the third quarter, Ryerson recorded use of cash from operating activities of $8.3 million, driven by the net loss generated. This compares to operating cash generation of $23.8 million in the second quarter. The Company ended the third quarter of 2025 with debt of $500 million and net debt of $470 million, a sequential decrease of $10 million and $9 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Ryerson's global liquidity, composed of cash and cash equivalents and availability on its revolving credit facilities, was $521 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $485 million as of June 30, 2025.

Shareholder Return Activity

Dividends. On October 28, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock, payable on December 18, 2025, to stockholders of record as of December 4, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, Ryerson's quarterly dividend amounted to a cash return of $6.0 million.

Share Repurchases and Authorization. Ryerson did not repurchase shares during the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $38.4 million remained under the existing authorization.

Olympic Merger Agreement.

On October 28, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Olympic Steel, Inc. ("Olympic"). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, shares of Olympic will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of the Company based upon a fixed exchange ratio as well as cash in lieu of fractional shares. The consummation of the Olympic acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including approval by stockholders of both the Company and Olympic.

Outlook Commentary

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Ryerson expects customer shipments to decrease by 5% to 7% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting normal seasonality patterns as well as the soft manufacturing and industrial metal demand conditions. The Company anticipates fourth quarter net sales to be in the range of $1.07 billion to $1.11 billion, with average selling prices flat to up 2%. LIFO expense is expected to be between $10 million to $14 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO, therefore, is expected to be in the range of $33 million to $37 million and loss per diluted share in the range of $0.28 to $0.22.

Note: EBITDA represents net income before interest and other expense on debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, gain on insurance settlement, reorganization expenses, impairment charges on assets, pension settlement loss, benefit plan curtailment gain, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and purchase consideration and other transaction costs (credits). 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 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.
