Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Reports Second Quarter Results Sales Up 26%, Net Income Up 60%, EPS Up 58%
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2011--Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (NYSE:RS) reported today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. For the 2011 second quarter, Reliance reported net income of $98.7 million, up 60% from 2010 second quarter net income of $61.5 million, and up 7% from $92.3 million in the 2011 first quarter. Earnings per diluted share were $1.31 in the 2011 second quarter, up 58% from 2010 second quarter earnings per diluted share of $.83 and up 7% from $1.23 for the 2011 first quarter. Sales for the 2011 second quarter were $2.05 billion, up 26% from 2010 second quarter sales of $1.62 billion, and up 7% from 2011 first quarter sales of $1.91 billion. The 2011 second quarter financial results include in cost of sales a pre-tax LIFO charge, or expense, of $25 million compared with a pre-tax LIFO charge of $10 million for the 2010 second quarter, and a charge of $20 million for the 2011 first quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income amounted to $191.0 million, up 80% compared with net income of $106.2 million for the 2010 six-month period. Earnings per diluted share were $2.54 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, up 78% compared with earnings of $1.43 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Sales for the 2011 six months were $3.96 billion, up 29% from 2010 six-month sales of $3.07 billion. The 2011 six months financial results include in cost of sales a pre-tax LIFO charge, or expense, of $45 million compared with a pre-tax LIFO charge of $15 million for the 2010 six months. The LIFO adjustments, in effect, reflect cost of sales at current replacement costs.
Reliance’s tons sold for the 2011 second quarter were up 10% from the 2010 second quarter and up 1% from the 2011 first quarter. Average prices per ton sold in the 2011 second quarter were up 16% compared to the 2010 second quarter and up 6% compared to the 2011 first quarter. For the 2011 second quarter, carbon steel sales were 54% of net sales; aluminum sales were 16%; stainless steel sales were 15%; alloy sales were 9%; toll processing sales were 2%; and other sales were 4%.
David H. Hannah, Chairman and CEO of Reliance said, “We are pleased with our 2011 second quarter results, which were slightly better than we originally expected given our somewhat higher LIFO charge in the quarter. Sales volume and average pricing held up reasonably well given that mill prices for most of the metals we sell declined as the quarter progressed, which also caused our gross profit margins to contract a bit, as we expected. Consistent with the first quarter of 2011, our strongest markets were in energy, oil & gas, farm and heavy equipment, mining, general manufacturing, aerospace, semiconductor and electronics. Non-residential construction was still weak, but showed some signs of life with spotty improvements. Our auto-related toll processing volumes were negatively impacted by the crisis in Japan but are now recovering nicely.”
“As mentioned earlier, prices for most of our metal products have softened from the recent highs early in the 2011 second quarter, and may decrease a little more during the 2011 third quarter, but not to the extent that we are overly concerned. Also, we do not expect any significant changes in demand other than some normal seasonal third quarter slowing. Given these expectations, we anticipate earnings per diluted share in a range of $1.05 to $1.15 for the 2011 third quarter,” said Hannah.
“Our balance sheet is in excellent shape, with net debt to total capital at 25.2% at June 30, 2011. Effective July 26, 2011, we renewed our credit facility for a five year term and increased the size to $1.5 billion from $1.1 billion, providing even more capital to fund the growth of our existing operations as well as anticipated acquisition opportunities. We are very excited about our agreement to acquire Continental Alloys & Services and look forward to completing that transaction soon. Continental brings a great management team and expands our exposure to the attractive energy, oil and gas markets with new products, processing capabilities, and international locations,” concluded Hannah.
On July 27, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.12 per share of common stock. The third quarter dividend is payable on September 16, 2011 to shareholders of record August 19, 2011. The Company has increased its dividend 16 times since the IPO in 1994 and has paid regular quarterly dividends for 52 consecutive years.

1 Gross profit, calculated as Net sales less Cost of sales, and Gross profit margin, calculated as Gross profit divided by Net sales, are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude depreciation and amortization expense associated with the corresponding sales. The majority of our orders are basic distribution with no processing services performed. For the remainder of our sales orders, we perform “first-stage” processing which is generally not labor intensive as we are simply cutting the metal to size. Because of this, the amount of related labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, are not significant and are excluded from our Cost of sales. Therefore, our Cost of sales is primarily comprised of the cost of the material we sell. We use Gross profit and Gross profit margin as shown above as measures of operating performance. Gross profit and Gross profit margin are important operating and financial measures, as fluctuations in our Gross profit margin can have a significant impact on our earnings. Gross profit and Gross profit margin, as presented, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.
2 Net debt-to-total capital is calculated as total debt (net of cash) divided by total Reliance shareholders’ equity plus total debt (net of cash).
3 Calculations are based on the latest twelve months net income and beginning total Reliance shareholders’ equity.
4 Book value per share is calculated as total Reliance shareholders’ equity divided by outstanding common shares.
