Radius Recycling (NASDAQ: RDUS) reported its financial results for Q3 fiscal 2024, ending May 31, 2024. The company experienced a net loss of $199 million, translating to a loss per share of $(6.97), attributed mainly to a $216 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $9 million from $3 million in the prior quarter, driven by higher nonferrous and ferrous sales volumes and productivity improvements, though offset by lower ferrous prices. Adjusted loss per share was $(0.59), improving from $(1.04) in Q2. Nonferrous sales prices rose by 10%, while ferrous prices declined by 9%, reflecting divergent market trends. Rolling mill utilization increased to 88% from 81% in the prior quarter. The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1875 per share, payable on August 5, 2024. The company also announced an amendment to its credit agreement, providing relaxed financial covenants and secured revolving credit facilities up to $800 million.

Insights
Radius Recycling's third quarter fiscal 2024 financial results present a mixed picture for investors. The company's reported and adjusted results diverged significantly, primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $216 million, leading to a reported loss per share of $(6.97). This reflects the challenging market conditions for recycled metals over the past year. While these headline figures are concerning, the adjusted EBITDA of $9 million marks a sequential improvement from $3 million in the prior quarter. This uptick is attributed to higher sales volumes in both nonferrous and ferrous metals, cost reduction efforts and improved productivity.
From a retail investor's perspective, it's important to note the improvements in sales volumes and operational efficiency despite the harsh market conditions. The sequential increase in nonferrous sales volumes by 4% and the 10% rise in average selling prices are positive indicators of demand strength in this segment. Conversely, the ferrous market conditions remain soft, highlighting a 9% decline in average net selling prices due to elevated Chinese steel exports. This divergence suggests that while the company is making progress, external market pressures, particularly in the ferrous segment, remain a significant headwind.
For long-term investors, the company's strategic initiatives, such as investments in advanced nonferrous metal recovery technologies and expansion of recycling services, could offer substantial growth avenues. The ongoing cost reduction and productivity improvement plans are also steps in the right direction, potentially leading to better margins and profitability as market conditions stabilize.
However, short-term challenges, including compressed margins and the overall soft demand in the ferrous market, may continue to pressure the stock. Investors should closely monitor upcoming quarters to assess whether these strategic initiatives are translating into tangible financial improvements.
Radius Recycling's latest financial results underscore the volatile nature of the recycled metals market. The sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA to $9 million, despite a backdrop of declining ferrous prices, suggests the company's operational strategies are starting to pay off. However, the stark contrast between the reported net loss of $(199) million and the adjusted loss of $(0.59) per share highlights the significant impact of the goodwill impairment charge.
From a market dynamics perspective, the increase in nonferrous sales volumes and average net selling prices is a key positive indicator. This trend reflects stronger global demand for nonferrous recycled metals, which could be driven by factors such as increased manufacturing activity and infrastructure investments. On the other hand, the softening of the ferrous market due to high levels of Chinese steel exports is a concern. The resulting compressed metal spreads and lower selling prices indicate a challenging environment for ferrous recyclers.
Investors should also consider the implications of the relaxation of financial maintenance covenants in Radius Recycling's amended credit agreement. This move provides the company with greater flexibility in navigating the current market challenges, potentially easing liquidity pressures in the near term.
In the long run, Radius Recycling's focus on advanced nonferrous metal recovery technologies and its commitment to low-carbon and net-zero carbon emission products position it well to capitalize on broader industry trends towards sustainability and decarbonization. These strategic initiatives align with increasing regulatory and consumer demand for environmentally responsible practices, potentially providing a competitive edge.

Radius Board Declares Quarterly Dividend
PORTLAND, Ore., July 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radius Recycling, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDUS) today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 ended May 31, 2024.
The Company’s reported and adjusted results differed significantly this quarter. Due primarily to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge reflecting the challenging market conditions for recycled metals experienced during the last year, the Company reported a loss per share from continuing operations of
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was
Nonferrous and ferrous market conditions reflected diverging trends in the third quarter. Global demand for nonferrous recycled metals strengthened throughout the quarter, leading to a
Tamara Lundgren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Although market conditions continued to remain challenging during the quarter, our operating performance reflected the benefits from delivering our cost reduction and productivity improvement programs and successfully increasing sales volumes for all of our products and services.”
“In the current market environment, the constrained supply of unprocessed recycled metals is the main driver leading to compressed margins. We expect that as manufacturing activity improves and construction activity picks up, supply flows should expand. Independent of the timing of that recovery, we are continuing to see benefits from progress on our strategic initiatives which include investments in advanced nonferrous metal recovery technologies and expansion of our recycling services platform.” Ms. Lundgren continued, “With our 100+ operating facilities producing annual recycled ferrous volumes of over four million tons, nonferrous volumes of over 700 million pounds, and low carbon and net zero carbon emission GRNTM finished steel products of more than 500 thousand tons, and our 3PRTM service and supply chain solution that enables our customers to increase their recycling rates, we are well-positioned to benefit from demand associated with decarbonization, infrastructure investment, stronger global manufacturing activity, and declines in interest rates.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains performance based on adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Radius shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton, and adjusted selling, general, and administrative expense which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, charges for legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, other asset impairment charges, business development costs not related to ongoing operations including pre-acquisition expenses, and the income tax benefit allocated to these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. We believe that presenting debt, net of cash is useful to investors as a measure of our leverage, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
