Insights

Olympic Steel's Q2 2024 results reveal a company navigating challenging market conditions with resilience. Despite a 22% drop in hot-rolled index pricing during the quarter and a 39% decline year-to-date, the company managed to maintain profitability across all three business segments. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of their diversification strategy.

Key financial highlights include:

  • Net income of $7.7 million ($0.66 per diluted share), down from $15.0 million ($1.30 per diluted share) in Q2 2023
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $21.3 million, compared to $31.2 million in Q2 2023
  • Sales of $526 million, down from $569 million in Q2 2023

The company's focus on end products, higher-margin flat-rolled products and expanded fabrication capabilities has proven important in maintaining profitability amidst pricing pressures. With over $340 million in borrowing availability, Olympic Steel is well-positioned for both organic growth and potential acquisitions.

The declaration of a $0.15 per share quarterly dividend, payable on September 16, 2024, demonstrates confidence in the company's financial stability and commitment to shareholder returns. However, investors should note the expected continuation of challenging market conditions in the near term.

Olympic Steel's Q2 2024 performance offers valuable insights into the current state of the metals industry. The 22% drop in hot-rolled index pricing during the quarter signals significant downward pressure on commodity prices, likely driven by broader economic factors such as slowing industrial demand or increased global supply.

Despite these headwinds, Olympic Steel's ability to maintain profitability across all segments highlights the importance of diversification in the metals service center business. The company's strategic focus on end products and higher-margin offerings has created a more resilient business model, better equipped to weather market volatility.

The investment in new cut-to-length lines and a high-speed slitter indicates a proactive approach to expanding capabilities in coated and specialty metals. This move could potentially open up new market opportunities and further insulate the company from commodity price fluctuations.

Looking ahead, the company's cautious outlook for the second half of 2024 suggests that the challenging pricing environment may persist. However, Olympic Steel's strong balance sheet and focus on operational efficiency position it well to navigate these challenges and potentially capitalize on market opportunities that may arise from industry consolidation or competitor weakness.

Diversified offerings in end products, higher-margin mix of flat-rolled products and additional fabrication capabilities drive profitability in a challenging pricing market

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Olympic Steel, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZEUS), a leading national metals service center, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net income for the second quarter totaled $7.7 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared with net income of $15.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. The results include $1.0 million of LIFO pre-tax income in both the second quarter of 2024 and 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $21.3 million, compared with $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

The Company reported higher year-over-year shipping volumes on sales of $526 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared with $569 million in the second quarter of 2023.

“Olympic Steel’s ability to capitalize on our diversification strategy was critical to delivering profitability across all three business segments in the second quarter,” said Richard T. Marabito, Chief Executive Officer. “During the second quarter of 2024, hot-rolled index pricing fell 22% and has fallen 39% since the beginning of the year. Our efforts to grow and expand in end products, higher-margin flat-rolled products including coated products, and additional fabrication capabilities have strengthened our business and make us more resilient in challenging pricing environments. Our second-quarter results are a testament to this strategy, as well as to the dedication of our team to drive profitability in all market conditions.”

Marabito continued, “We are in an excellent financial position with a strong balance sheet and more than $340 million of borrowing availability. This access to capital gives us flexibility to grow organically and through acquisition. We recently ordered two new cut-to-length lines and one high-speed slitter to further expand our efforts in our coated and specialty metals product lines.”

Marabito concluded, “As we move into the second half of 2024, we remain committed to driving profitability and delivering on our disciplines around working capital and operating efficiencies. While we expect market conditions to remain challenging in the near term, we are confident that Olympic Steel is well-positioned to navigate these pressures to deliver consistent results for our shareholders.”

The Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, which is payable on September 16, 2024, to shareholders of record on September 2, 2024. The Company has paid a regular quarterly dividend since March 2006, increasing the dividend in each of the last three years.
