Management Commentary

Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, said, “Self-help and execution are the name of the game amidst ongoing recessed demand conditions in the overall manufacturing and industrial metals sectors of the economy. Looking at macro-indicators such as PMI prints which continue to show contracting manufacturing conditions that square-up with our own internal demand indicators of quoting activity and order rates, we continue realizing the benefits of better execution around service center fundamentals of faster lead times, inventory placement, and on-time delivery. We grew market share and transactional business across the network as more capex and systems projects became fully operational and normalized despite ongoing sluggishness within OEM program accounts. On the pricing side of the house, we have seen falling stainless and carbon prices begin to stabilize while aluminum prices have trended higher, but the key is duration of this relative price stability as price discounting in the market is still prevalent. I want to thank all of my Ryerson colleagues for working safely and productively as we continue advancing our ability to create great customer experiences at speed, scale, value-add, and consistency across our network of intelligently connected service centers."

Second Quarter Results

Ryerson generated net sales of $1.17 billion in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 3.0% compared to the prior quarter and within our guidance range. Average selling prices increased by 2.8% and tons shipped increased by 0.2% quarter-over-quarter. Revenue performance during the quarter was influenced by a combination of tariff-supported higher average selling prices for our carbon and aluminum products partially offset by slowed customer activity following first quarter pre-buying and a continuation of trade policy uncertainty.

Gross margin contracted by 10 basis points to 17.9% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 18.0% in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the increase in cost of goods sold outpacing the increase in average selling prices for our product mix. In addition, due to the rising commodity price environment, increasing inventory values resulted in a higher-than-expected LIFO expense of $13.2 million compared to the previous quarter's LIFO expense of $6.8 million. Excluding the impact of LIFO, gross margin expanded by 40 basis points to 19.0% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 18.6% in the first quarter.

Second quarter warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses of $203.6 million represents an increase of 0.7% compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to an additional business day. Expenses decreased sequentially both on a percentage of revenue and on a per day basis, illustrating management's commitment to tightly managing operating expenses. Compared to the prior year period, second quarter 2025 operating expenses increased by $4.6 million, or 2.3%, primarily driven by increased delivery expenses as well as the addition of Production Metals, which was acquired in August 2024.

Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the previous quarter. Ryerson generated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $32.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Liquidity & Debt Management

Ryerson generated cash from operating activities of $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a usage of $41.2 million in the first quarter as accounts receivable normalized but were partially offset by modest inventory replacement. The Company ended the second quarter of 2025 with debt of $510 million and net debt of $479 million, a sequential increase of $12 million and $15 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Ryerson’s global liquidity, composed of cash and cash equivalents and availability on its revolving credit facilities, was $485 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $490 million as of March 31, 2025.

Shareholder Return Activity

Dividends. On July 29, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock, payable on September 18, 2025, to stockholders of record as of September 4, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, Ryerson’s quarterly dividend amounted to a cash return of approximately $6.0 million.

Share Repurchases and Authorization. Ryerson did not repurchase shares during the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $38.4 million remained under the existing authorization.

Outlook Commentary

For the third quarter of 2025, Ryerson expects customer shipments to decrease by 2% to 4% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting both normal seasonality patterns as well as overall recessed manufacturing and industrial metal demand conditions driving cautious customer behavior, particularly in our larger OEM contractual customers book of business. The Company anticipates third quarter net sales to be in the range of $1.14 billion to $1.18 billion, with average selling prices increasing 1% to 3%. LIFO expense in the third quarter of 2025 is expected to be between $9 million to $11 million. We therefore expect adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO in the range of $40 million to $45 million and earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.00 to $0.06.
