Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Preliminary Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025

Radius Recycling, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced preliminary results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended May 31, 2025. The Company expects net loss to be approximately ($16) million and adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $22 million, reflecting significant improvements sequentially and year-over-year. The Company expects to report financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended May 31, 2025 on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. As a result of the pending merger with Toyota Tsusho America, Inc. (“TAI”), the Company will not be holding a third quarter earnings conference call or webcast.

The forward-looking statements included herein provide preliminary information based on the Company’s current estimates and expectations and remain subject to change and finalization based on management’s ongoing review of results of the quarter and completion of all quarter-end close processes.

Pending Merger

As previously announced, on March 13, 2025, the Company, TAI and TAI Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAI (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TAI.

As previously announced, on June 5, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders, at which the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement. The closing of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Assuming timely satisfaction of necessary closing conditions, the parties to the Merger Agreement expect the Merger to close during the second half of calendar year 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This current report on Form 8-K contains performance based on adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of this measure for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure adds a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results from business operations excluding restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, charges for legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, asset impairment charges, business development costs not related to ongoing operations including pre-acquisition and merger 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. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
