Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 includes $20 million and $11 million, respectively, of expense in cost of sales relating to the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes (among other items) the impact of LIFO, was $181 million, or 21.3% of sales, for the second quarter of 2022 and was $134 million, or 19.5% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2021. 

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

• Sales of $848 million, a 14% sequential increase and a 24% improvement over the same quarter a year ago
• Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million, 7.7% of sales, the highest quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin since 2014

• Backlog increased 12% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and up 43% compared to year end 2021

Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and CEO stated, “Strong double-digit growth in each of our end-market sectors drove second quarter revenue of $848 million, a 14% sequential improvement, while adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.7%, our best quarterly result since 2014. The gas utilities and downstream, industrial and energy transition (DIET) sectors led the sequential improvement and combined represent 68% of our revenue for the quarter. Our targets for the full year remain at $3.3 billion of revenue and $230 million of adjusted EBITDA, supported by strong business fundamentals and our growing backlog, which increased 12% sequentially.”

Adjusted EBITDA was $65 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $36 million for the same period in 2021. 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $120 million, or 14.2% of sales, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $102 million, or 14.9% of sales, for the same period in 2021. Adjusted SG&A of $101 million for the second quarter of 2021 excludes $1 million of facility closure costs.

Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Net Debt and Leverage Ratio are all non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of each of these measures to the nearest GAAP measure in this release. 

An income tax expense of $6 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 30%, as compared to income tax expense of $1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Our rates generally differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state income taxes and differing foreign income tax rates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was higher primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses.

Sales

The company’s sales were $848 million for the second quarter of 2022, which was 14% higher than the first quarter of 2022 and 24% higher than the second quarter of 2021. As compared to the second quarter of 2021, all sectors grew double-digit percentages, led by the gas utilities and DIET sectors followed by the upstream production and midstream pipeline sectors. Sequentially, all sectors increased double-digit percentages led by the gas utilities and DIET sectors, as well.

Sales by Segment

U.S. sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $717 million, up $159 million, or 28%, from the same quarter in 2021. The gas utilities sector revenue increased $44 million, or 16%, driven by increased activity levels related to our customers' integrity upgrade programs, smart meter programs and seasonal demand. DIET sector sales increased $62 million, or 46%, from increased renewable biofuel projects and additional turnaround project and maintenance spending for both refining and chemicals customers. Upstream production sector sales increased by $36 million, or 44%, primarily due to increased customer spending for well completions as oil and gas market conditions have improved. Midstream pipeline sector sales improved $17 million, or 23%, driven by new gathering and processing infrastructure as a result of increased production levels.

Sequentially, as compared to the first quarter, U.S. sales increased $99 million, or 16%, as all sectors were up double-digits, led by the gas utilities sector, which increased $43 million, or 16%, as construction season is underway, and customers take delivery for planned projects. The DIET sector was up $29 million, or 17%, as biofuels project activity, turnaround, and maintenance activity increased. The upstream production and midstream pipeline sectors were up 16% and 14%, respectively, as higher customer capital spending drove increased well completions and production levels.

Canada sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $40 million, up $10 million, or 33%, from the same quarter in 2021, driven by the upstream production sector from increased customer capital budgets due to supportive commodity prices.

Sequentially, as compared to the prior quarter, Canada sales declined $3 million, or 7%, due to seasonality from spring break-up in the upstream production sector.

International sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $91 million, down $7 million, or 7%, from the same period in 2021 primarily due to a $10 million unfavorable impact from weaker foreign currencies, as the underlying business experienced growth in the upstream sector primarily in Norway and Australia from improved market conditions.

Sequentially, as compared to the previous quarter, International sales increased $10 million, or 12%, as all sectors improved, led by the upstream production and DIET sectors, despite a $4 million unfavorable impact from weaker foreign currencies. Upstream production increased as customer activity expanded in Norway and Australia as a result of supportive commodity prices and an increase in oil demand post-pandemic. The DIET sector increased in New Zealand and the Netherlands including energy transition projects.

Notes to above:
* Does not foot due to rounding

The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, plus inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

The company defines Adjusted Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as SG&A, less severance and restructuring expenses, employee separation costs, facility closures plus the recovery of supplier bad debt. The company presents Adjusted SG&A because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company. Among other things, Adjusted SG&A measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. The company uses Adjusted SG&A as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that SG&A is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted SG&A.

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, long-lived asset impairments (including goodwill and intangible assets), inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations, and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not account for certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company’s operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the company does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income and sales, to measure operating performance.  See the company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more thorough discussion of the use of Adjusted EBITDA.

The company defines Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders less after-tax goodwill and intangible impairment, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring, plus or minus the after-tax impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. After-tax impacts were determined using the Company's blended statutory rate. The company presents Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and related per share amounts because the company believes it provides useful comparisons of the company’s operating results to other companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry, without regard to the irregular variations from certain restructuring events not indicative of the on-going business. Those items include goodwill and intangible asset impairments, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring as well as the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company believes that Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly compared to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders.

Notes to above:
Net Debt and related leverage metrics may be considered non-GAAP measures. We define Net Debt as total long-term debt, including current portion, minus cash. We define our leverage ratio as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Net Debt is an indicator of the extent to which the company’s outstanding debt obligations could be satisfied by cash on hand and a useful metric for investors to evaluate the company’s leverage position. We believe the leverage ratio is a commonly used metric that management and investors use to assess the borrowing capacity of the company. We believe total long-term debt (including the current portion) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Net Debt.
