  • Net debt increased to $497.4 million from $455.4 million in Q1 2024

Insights

Ryerson's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While the company managed to return to profitability with $9.9 million in net income, this represents a significant 73.7% year-over-year decline. The revenue of $1.23 billion shows a slight decrease of 1.1% from Q1 2024 and 8.8% from Q2 2023, indicating ongoing market challenges.

Positively, Ryerson has made progress on cost reduction, reducing operating expenses by $17.8 million compared to Q1 2024. The company has also increased its annualized cost reduction target to $60 million from the previously announced $40 million, which could help improve profitability in the coming quarters.

However, the company's net debt increased to $497 million, up from $455 million in Q1 2024. The net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.2x is above Ryerson's target range of 0.5x - 2.0x, which may be a concern for investors.

Looking ahead, Ryerson's Q3 2024 outlook suggests continued challenges, with expected decreases in customer shipments and average selling prices. The projected earnings per diluted share range of $0.01 to $0.10 indicates potential pressure on profitability.

Overall, while Ryerson is making efforts to optimize operations and reduce costs, the company faces headwinds from a compressed pricing environment and declining industry demand, particularly in industrial manufacturing and consumer end-markets.

Ryerson's Q2 2024 results reflect broader trends in the industrial metals sector. The company's performance is indicative of a challenging macroeconomic environment, with notable declines in aluminum, nickel and carbon steel commodity indexes.

The 2.2% increase in tons shipped suggests some resilience in demand, but this was offset by a 3.2% decrease in average selling prices. This pricing pressure is likely to continue, with Ryerson projecting a further 3% to 5% decrease in average selling prices for Q3 2024.

Interestingly, Ryerson's product mix shows varying performance:

  • Carbon steel sales increased by 1.7% quarter-over-quarter
  • Aluminum sales decreased by 1.1%
  • Stainless steel sales saw a more significant decline of 6.7%
This divergence may indicate shifting demand patterns across different industrial sectors.

The company's focus on cost reduction and operational efficiency, including the ramp-up of its University Park, IL service center and the modernization of its Shelbyville, KY facility, demonstrates a strategic response to market pressures. However, the projected decrease in customer shipments for Q3 2024 suggests that demand challenges may persist in the near term.

Overall, Ryerson's results and outlook provide valuable insights into the current state and near-term prospects of the industrial metals market, indicating a period of adjustment to economic headwinds.

Quarterly business highlights include ramp-up of operations at University Park, IL service center, expansion and modernization of the Shelbyville, KY service center, and progress on cost savings across the network

Management Commentary
Eddie Lehner, Ryerson's President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, said, "I want to thank all of my Ryerson teammates for striving to create a better Ryerson that delivers the industry's best customer experience safely, enjoyably, and productively. Over the second quarter we managed through a compressed pricing and declining industry demand environment that intensified in late-May through the end of the quarter marked by a continued slowdown in various industrial manufacturing and consumer end-markets as well as notable declines in aluminum, nickel, and carbon steel commodity indexes. Despite these challenges, our overall business performance improved as we saw an increase in tons sold, reduced variable and structural expenses, reduced our inventory levels, and returned to generating operating cash flow and free cash flow. We did this while transitioning to an optimization phase as we complete a record three-year investment cycle, highlighted this quarter by the start-up of our state-of-the-art 900,000 square foot University Park, IL service center, ongoing assimilation of the ERP-conversion in our southern network of service centers, our launch of Ryerson's redesigned e-commerce platform at www.ryerson.com, as well as nearing the final stage of equipment installation for our Shelbyville, KY processing center modernization and expansion that is slated to start-up in the first quarter of 2025. During the quarter, we grew our book value per share, repurchased 647,330 shares of Ryerson common stock, and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.1875. For the remainder of 2024, we are targeting approximately $60 million in annualized cost savings, updated from our previous $40 million target, primarily through the realization of greater efficiencies within our network. As we navigate through the second half of 2024, Ryerson is planning, preparing, and executing on the strategic growth plan for our business through the optimization of our operating model despite the persistence of what has turned out to be an extended industry counter-cycle. Looking at the bigger picture, it has been just about ten-years since Ryerson closed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on August 13, 2014.  I would kindly ask interested stakeholders to view the first page of this quarter's investor presentation deck. When we stack up all the days since our IPO and look at all we have accomplished over the past ten years, it is an important reminder that there is no sustainable progress without some pain and discomfort. As I look at the strength of our company, the significant investments made to our next-gen operating model, the value of our assets, and the culture of our people and organization, I couldn't be more optimistic about the next ten years."

Announcement – Ryerson's Chief Operating Officer, Mike Burbach to retire at year-end of 2024
After more than 40 years of driving excellence, Mike Burbach will retire from his position as Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), effective December 31, 2024. Mike has served as COO since April 2, 2021, and has been pivotal to the company's operational and financial success. Eddie Lehner, Ryerson's President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, said, "Mike has been a tremendous asset to our organization and will be missed by all those who know him and have had the pleasure to work him throughout his remarkable career – he is truly a pillar of the metals service industry and is well respected not just within Ryerson, but the entire industry. He has always been a steady hand and partner at the till, helping navigate the ebbs, flows, highs, and lows of this dynamic industry." Mr. Lehner continued, "Mike has been a mentor, leader, partner, role model, friend, and Ryerson "All-Time Great." I am delighted that Mike is spending some more time with us in transition, and I wish Mike, Anne, and their 5 grandkids the best of everything in retirement!"

Second Quarter Results
Ryerson generated net sales of $1.23 billion in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 1.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Revenue performance during the quarter benefitted from seasonal volume demand which increased 2.2%, but was offset by average selling prices decreasing 3.2%, which was below our guidance expectations.

Gross margin expanded sequentially by 60 basis points to 18.2% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 17.6% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by $10 million in LIFO income recorded in the second quarter of 2024 compared to LIFO expense of $1 million recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Due to a decline in metals futures prices, in the second quarter of 2024, LIFO income of $10 million was greater than our guidance expectations of a LIFO expense of $1 million. Excluding the impact of LIFO, gross margin contracted 20 basis points to 17.4% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 17.6% in the first quarter. Gross margins for our product mix experienced compression in the second quarter of 2024 due to average selling prices for our carbon, aluminum, and stainless-steel products declining at a greater rate than our costs of goods sold.

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8.2%, or $17.8 million, to $199.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $216.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Decreases in expenses were strongest in personnel-related expenses, operating expenses, and the reduction in start-up costs related to our University Park, IL service center, as well as a reduction in the costs related to our network ERP integration.

Net Income Attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the second quarter of 2024 was $9.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share in the previous quarter. Ryerson generated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO, of $42.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $40.2 million.

Liquidity & Debt Management
Ryerson generated $25.9 million of operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 due to net income of $10.3 million. The Company ended the second quarter of 2024 with $525 million of debt and $497 million of net debt, sequential increases of $28 million and $42 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Ryerson's net leverage ratio as of the second quarter of 2024 was 3.2x, above the Company's target leverage range of 0.5x – 2.0x, but still well below Ryerson's prior 10-year average. Ryerson's global liquidity, composed of cash and cash equivalents and availability on its revolving credit facilities, decreased to $585 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $684 million as of March 31, 2024.

Shareholder Return Activity

Dividends. On July 30, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock, payable on September 19, 2024, to stockholders of record as of September 5, 2024, unchanged from the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2024, Ryerson paid a quarterly dividend of $0.1875 per share, amounting to a cash return of approximately $6.4 million

Share Repurchases and Authorization. Ryerson repurchased 647,330 shares for $14.0 million in the open market during the second quarter of 2024. Ryerson made these repurchases in accordance with its share repurchase authorization, which allows the Company to acquire up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of the Company's common stock through April of 2025. As of June 30, 2024, $24.3 million of the $100.0 million remained under the existing authorization. On July 30, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a $50 million increase to the Company's share repurchase authorization and extended the authorization to April 2026.

Outlook Commentary
For the third quarter of 2024, Ryerson expects customer shipments to decrease 2% to 4%, quarter-over-quarter. The Company anticipates third-quarter net sales to be in the range of $1.12 billion to $1.16 billion, with average selling prices decreasing 3% to 5%. LIFO income in the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be $12 million. We expect adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO in the range of $21 million to $25 million and earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.01 to $0.10.

Among the factors that significantly impact our business are: the cyclicality of our business; the highly competitive, volatile, and fragmented metals industry in which we operate; the impact of geopolitical events; fluctuating metal prices; our indebtedness and the covenants in instruments governing such indebtedness; the integration of acquired operations; regulatory and other operational risks associated with our operations located inside and outside of the United States; the influence of a single investor group over our policies and procedures; work stoppages; obligations under certain employee retirement benefit plans; currency fluctuations; and consolidation in the metals industry. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth above and those set forth under "Risk Factors" in our most recent our annual report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we caution against placing undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances, new information or otherwise.

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, reorganization expenses, gain on sales of assets, pension
settlement loss, benefit plan curtailment gain, 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 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
