Management Commentary

Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, said, “I want to thank all my Ryerson teammates for working safely while striving to create an always improving Ryerson that delivers the industry’s best customer experience safely, enjoyably, and productively. Two things can be true at the same time: 1) the industry is experiencing a cyclical bottoming marked by twenty-four months of moving average demand and price contraction; and 2) Ryerson’s record investments in systems, capital expenditures, and acquisitions over this same period are positioning the company well for the next cyclical upturn. Over the third quarter we managed the business effectively through a contractionary industrial metals and manufacturing environment that produced compressed margins, most notably in carbon steels and across the commodity spectrum with lagging OEM customer contract price resets. Despite these challenges, we experienced improvements in key performance indicators including cash flow, expense and working capital management, and most importantly, we are seeing investment related growth pains and disruptions across our network beginning to subside as we move through the balance of 2024 with budding optimism for 2025. Ryerson has emerged more efficient and better through every previous counter-cycle and, looking forward, our optimization phase will bring together a greatly modernized service center network, enhanced value-added capabilities, across a digitally enabled enterprise to provide Ryerson’s best-ever customer experience while setting the table for realization of our next stage financial targets.”

 

Third Quarter Results

Ryerson generated net sales of $1.13 billion in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 8.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2024, and within our guidance expectations. Revenue performance during the quarter was impacted by seasonal and weather impacted volume declines of 4.5%, in addition to average selling prices decreasing 3.7%.

Gross margin contracted sequentially by 30 basis points to 17.9% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 18.2% in the second quarter of 2024. Due to further declines in inventory costs, in the third quarter of 2024, LIFO income of $18 million was greater than our guidance expectations of LIFO income of $12 million. Excluding the impact of LIFO, gross margin contracted 110 basis points to 16.3% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 17.4% in the second quarter. Gross margins continued to be under pressure in the quarter as demand conditions saw continuing contraction and selling price declines continued to outpace the decline in our average inventory costs.

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.1%, or $2.1 million, to $196.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $199.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Cost reductions were noted in personnel-related expenses, operating expenses, and general administrative expenses. Decreases in expenses were partially offset by increases in start-up, pre-operating, and reorganization expenses associated with Ryerson investments in capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Net Loss Attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the third quarter of 2024 was $6.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the previous quarter. Ryerson generated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO, of $21.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $42.6 million.

 

Liquidity & Debt Management

Ryerson generated $134.6 million of operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2024 due to a working capital release of $129 million. The Company ended the third quarter of 2024 with $522 million of debt and $487 million of net debt, sequential decreases of $3 million and $10 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Ryerson’s net leverage ratio as of the third quarter of 2024 was 3.8x 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 $491 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $585 million as of June 30, 2024.

Shareholder Return Activity

Dividends. On October 29, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock, payable on December 19, 2024, to stockholders of record as of December 5, 2024, unchanged from the prior quarter. During the third quarter of 2024, Ryerson’s quarterly dividend amounted to a cash return of approximately $6.0 million.

 


 

Share Repurchases and Authorization. Ryerson repurchased 1,849,017 shares for $36.0 million in the open market during the third quarter of 2024. Ryerson made these repurchases in accordance with its share repurchase authorization. As of September 30, 2024, $38.4 million remained under the existing authorization.

Outlook Commentary

For the fourth quarter of 2024, Ryerson expects customer shipments to seasonally and counter-cyclically decrease 8% to 10%, quarter-over-quarter. The Company anticipates fourth-quarter net sales to be in the range of $1.00 billion to $1.04 billion, with average selling prices between decreasing 1% to increasing 1%. LIFO income in the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be $10 million. We expect adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO in the range of $10 million to $12 million and loss per diluted share in the range of $0.53 to $0.47.

 

Sales by Product Metrics

As we continue to integrate our acquisitions of the past eight quarters into our systems and processes, we have refined our methodology for allocating their net sales and tons to our major product categories. As such, in addition to the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 product metrics provided here under the refined methodology, we are providing updated sales by product information from the first quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024 to provide comparable numbers. We note that consolidated net sales, tons shipped, and average selling price per ton as previously reported are unchanged and that the updates below are only at the product level.

Legal Disclaimer
The contents herein are provided for general information purposes only and do not constitute an offer to sell or buy, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security (“Security”) of the Company or its affiliates (“Ryerson”) in any jurisdiction. Ryerson does not intend to solicit, and is not soliciting, any action with respect to any Security or any other contractual relationship with Ryerson. Nothing in this release, individually or taken in the aggregate, constitutes an offer of securities for sale or buy, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any Security in the United States, or to U.S. persons, or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful.

Safe Harbor Provision
Certain statements made in this release and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, objectives, or projections relating to the future. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “objectives,” “goals,” “preliminary,” “range,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. 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 (loss) before interest and other expense on debt, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, reorganization expenses, gain on insurance settlement, 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.

Ryerson Quarterly Release Presentation Q3 2024 Exhibit 99.2


Slide 2

Important Information About Ryerson Holding Corporation These materials do not constitute an offer or solicitation to purchase or sell securities of Ryerson Holding Corporation (“Ryerson” or “the Company”) or its subsidiaries and no investment decision should be made based upon the information provided herein. Ryerson strongly urges you to review its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found at https://ir.ryerson.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. This site also provides additional information about Ryerson. Safe Harbor Provision Certain statements made in this release and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, objectives, or projections relating to the future. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “objectives,” “goals,” “preliminary,” “range,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, 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. Non-GAAP Measures Certain measures contained in these slides or the related presentation are not measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). They should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures appearing in these slides are identified in the footnotes. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Appendix.
