RYERSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ryerson Holding Corporation (“Ryerson Holding”), a Delaware corporation, is the parent company of Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc. (“JT Ryerson”), a Delaware corporation. Affiliates of Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”) own approximately 3,924,478 shares of our common stock, which is approximately 12.2% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2025.

We are a leading value-added processor and distributor of industrial metals with operations in the U.S. through JT Ryerson and other U.S. subsidiaries, in Canada through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Ryerson Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Ryerson Canada”), and in Mexico through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Ryerson Metals de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican corporation (“Ryerson Mexico”). In addition to our North American operations, we conduct materials processing and distribution operations in China through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ryerson China Limited (“Ryerson China”), a Chinese limited liability company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, Ryerson Holding, JT Ryerson, Ryerson Canada, Ryerson China, and Ryerson Mexico, together with their subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “Ryerson,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company.”

Basis of Presentation

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and therefore do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from these estimated amounts. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, and necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of any future periods or for the year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data contained in this report was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Adopted

No accounting pronouncements have been issued and adopted in 2025 that impact our financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. The amendments in this update require public businesses to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and further information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update also requires further disclosures of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions as well as by the individual jurisdiction in which income taxes are paid if the amount paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. Further, this update requires a disclosure of income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense or benefit disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2025. We do not expect there to be an impact to the consolidated financial statements, other than disclosure requirements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” and in January 2025 issued an update through ASU 2025-01. The amendment requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The categories required to be disclosed under the amendment include; purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amount remaining in relevant expense captions that are not disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, disclosure is required of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity's definition of selling expenses in the annual reporting periods only. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are still assessing the impact of adoption, but do not expect this guidance to materially impact the consolidated financial statements, other than disclosure requirements.

NOTE 3: CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the beginning and ending cash balances shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	33.6	$	27.7
Restricted cash		1.1		1.6
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	34.7	$	29.3

We had cash restricted for the purpose of covering letters of credit that can be presented for potential insurance claims and material purchases.

NOTE 4: INVENTORIES

The Company primarily uses the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of valuing inventory. Under this method, older costs are included in inventory, which may be higher or lower than current costs. Interim LIFO calculations are based on projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. The year-end projection is then allocated to the interim quarters on a pro-rata basis. Year-end LIFO calculations are based on actual inventory levels and costs.

See the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 values of our in process and finished goods inventory.

If current cost had been used to value inventories, such inventories would have been $102 million and $95 million higher than reported at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Approximately 88% and 89% of inventories were accounted for under the LIFO method at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Non-LIFO inventories consist primarily of inventory at our foreign facilities, where we use the moving average cost and the specific cost methods to value inventory. Substantially all of our inventories consist of finished products.

The Company has consignment inventory at certain customer locations, which totaled $5.3 million and $5.0 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $161.9 million and $161.8 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We recognized $0.1 million of additional goodwill during the first three months of 2025 related to purchase accounting adjustments for the acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2024.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” we review the recoverability of goodwill annually as of October 1 or whenever significant events or changes occur that might impair the recovery of recorded amounts. The most recently completed impairment test of goodwill was performed as of October 1, 2024, and it was determined that no impairment existed.

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

NOTE 6: LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	March 31,			December 31,
	2025			2024
	(In millions)
Ryerson Credit Facility	$	500.0		$	470.0
Foreign debt		0.3			0.7
Unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts		(3.0	)		(3.3	)
Total debt		497.3			467.4
Less: Short-term foreign debt		0.3			0.7
Total long-term debt	$	497.0		$	466.7

Ryerson Credit Facility

On June 29, 2022, Ryerson entered into a fifth amendment of its revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility size from $1.0 billion to $1.3 billion and to extend the maturity date from November 5, 2025 to June 29, 2027. On June 10, 2024, Ryerson entered into a sixth amendment of its revolving credit facility to make conforming changes to effectuate the transition of the reference rate for revolving loans borrowed in Canadian Dollars from the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate to the forward-looking term rate based on the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA").

At March 31, 2025, Ryerson had $500.0 million of outstanding borrowings, $1 million of letters of credit issued, and $409 million available under the Ryerson Credit Facility compared to $470.0 million of outstanding borrowings, $1 million of letters of credit issued, and $376 million available at December 31, 2024. Total credit availability is limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and qualified cash pledged as collateral under the agreement insofar as Ryerson is subject to a borrowing base comprised of the aggregate of these three amounts, less applicable reserves. Eligible accounts receivable, at any date of determination, is comprised of the aggregate value of all accounts directly created by a borrower in the ordinary course of business arising out of the sale of goods or the rendering of services, each of which has been invoiced, with such receivables adjusted to exclude various ineligible accounts, including, among other things, those to which a borrower (or guarantor, as applicable) does not have sole and absolute title and accounts arising out of a sale to an employee, officer, director, or affiliate of a borrower (or guarantor, as applicable). Eligible inventory, at any date of determination, is comprised of the net orderly liquidation value of all inventory owned by a borrower. Qualified cash consists of cash in an eligible deposit account that is subject to customary restrictions and liens in favor of the lenders.

Amounts outstanding under the Ryerson Credit Facility bear interest at (i) a rate determined by reference to (A) the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s prime rate, and the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.00%) or (B) a Term SOFR rate or (ii) for Ryerson Holding’s Canadian subsidiary that is a borrower, (A) the prime rate or base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America-Canada Branch’s commercial loan rate, and the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%), (B) a Term SOFR rate (for loans denominated in US Dollars), or (C) the CORRA rate (for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars).

The spread over the base rate is between 0.25% and 0.50% and the spread over the SOFR rate is between 1.25% and 1.50%, depending on the amount available to be borrowed under the Ryerson Credit Facility; provided that such spreads shall be reduced by 0.125% if the leverage ratio set forth in the most recently delivered compliance certificate is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00. The spread over the CORRA rate is 0.30% for a one-month interest period or 0.32% for a three-month interest period. Ryerson also pays commitment fees on amounts not borrowed at a rate of 0.20%. Overdue amounts and all amounts owed during the existence of a default bear interest at 2.00% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility was 5.7% and 5.9% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility are secured by first-priority liens on all of the inventory, accounts receivables, lockbox accounts, and related assets of the borrowers and the guarantors.

The Ryerson Credit Facility also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict Ryerson Holding and its restricted subsidiaries with respect to the incurrence of debt, the creation of liens, transactions with affiliates, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets, and acquisitions. The Ryerson Credit Facility also requires that, if availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility declines to a certain level, Ryerson maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

The Ryerson Credit Facility contains events of default with respect to, among other things, default in the payment of principal when due or the payment of interest, fees, and other amounts due thereunder after a specified grace period, material misrepresentations, failure to perform certain specified covenants, certain bankruptcy events, the invalidity of certain security agreements or guarantees, material judgments, the occurrence of a change of control of Ryerson, and a cross-default to other financing arrangements. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Ryerson Credit Facility will be entitled to various remedies, including acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Ryerson Credit Facility and all other actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.

The lenders under the Ryerson Credit Facility could reject a borrowing request if any event, circumstance, or development has occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. If Ryerson Holding, JT Ryerson, any of the other borrowers, or any restricted subsidiaries of JT Ryerson becomes insolvent or commences bankruptcy proceedings, all amounts borrowed under the Ryerson Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable.

Net proceeds of short-term borrowings that are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows represent borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility with original maturities of three months or less.

Foreign Debt

At March 31, 2025, Ryerson China had $0.3 million debt related to letter of credit drawdowns that incur initiation fees ranging from 0.05% to 0.15%, rather than interest. These balances are not secured with any of Ryerson China's assets. At December 31, 2024, Ryerson China had $0.6 million debt related to letter of credit drawdowns that incur an initiation fee of 0.05%, rather than interest. These balances are secured with Ryerson China's accounts receivables. Additionally, Ryerson China had $0.1 million debt related to letter of credit drawdown that incur an initiation fee of 0.004%, rather than interest. These balances are not secured with any of Ryerson China's assets.

Availability under the foreign credit lines was $47 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Letters of credit issued by our foreign subsidiaries were $1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTE 7: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the Ryerson pension plans and postretirement benefit plans other than pension:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	Pension Benefits						Other Benefits
	2025			2024			2025			2024
	(In millions)
Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit)

Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit), excluding service cost, are included in Other income and (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Due to the closure of the Central Steel & Wire ("CSW") headquarters in Chicago, IL and move to University Park, IL, a significant reduction in the service years of employees occurred between the fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024, triggering curtailment accounting. The CSW Pension and Postretirement Benefits plans were remeasured as of February 29, 2024, resulting in a curtailment gain. As the curtailment was a net gain, the gain is required to be reflected in the periods in which the terminations occurred, resulting in a curtailment gain of $0.3 million recognized in the first quarter of 2024 and $0.5 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023 for those terminations occurring during the respective periods. Additionally, the CSW Pension Plan lump sum payments for 2024 were in excess of service cost and interest cost therefore, a settlement gain of $0.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2024. In 2025, the CSW Pension Plan is expecting lump sum payments to be in excess of service cost and interest cost therefore, a settlement gain of $0.2 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2025.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Ryerson Canada Bargaining Unit Pension Plan made $1.2 million of lump sum payments to plan participants and purchased $5.0 million of annuities on behalf of plan participants. The lump sum payments and annuity purchases consisted of all of the existing liabilities of the Ryerson Canada Bargaining Unit Pension Plan, resulting in the termination of the plan. The Ryerson Canada Bargaining Unit Pension Plan was fully funded as of the termination date, and as such, all lump sum payments and annuity purchases were funded with pension plan assets. As a result, the Company recorded a $2.2 million settlement loss in the first quarter of 2024.

The net pension settlements and the curtailment gain were recorded within Other income and (expense), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025.

The Company contributed $7.8 million to the pension plan funds through the three months ended March 31, 2025, and anticipates that it will have a minimum required pension contribution funding of approximately $7.4 million for the remaining nine months of 2025.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

There have been no material changes to the contingencies and legal matters from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1: Business - Environment, Health, and Safety Matters and in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part II, Item 8: Financial Statements in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Edward Lehner, our Chief Executive Officer, serves as our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM views our business globally, therefore we have one operating and reportable segment, metals service centers. There are no differences from the last annual report in our basis of segmentation or measurement of segment profit or loss.

The Company’s segment revenue, significant expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM, and other segment items are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(Dollars in millions)
Net sales	$	1,135.7		$	1,239.2
Less 1 :
Cost of materials sold, excluding LIFO expense		924.5			1,020.6
LIFO expense		6.8			1.0
Delivery expense		30.1			28.7
Compensation and benefits expense		96.6			95.3
Selling, general, and administrative expense		17.7			18.8
Operating expense - fixed		20.0			19.4
Operating expense - variable		15.0			17.2
Reorganization expense 2		4.0			20.1
Depreciation and amortization expense		19.2			17.4
Interest and other expense on debt		9.5			10.1
Other segment items 3		(0.8	)		0.1
Loss before income taxes		(6.9	)		(9.5	)
Benefit for income taxes		(1.6	)		(2.1	)
Net loss		(5.3	)		(7.4	)
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest		0.3			0.2
Net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation	$	(5.6	)	$	(7.6	)

(1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with the information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

(2) Reorganization expense is used by management to capture excess costs associated with implementing significant Company projects or changes and allows the CODM to assess performance without the impact of these items. It is not a GAAP financial measure. Expenses excluding reorganization expense should not be used as a substitute for total expenses reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(3) Other segment items include foreign exchange gain and loss, pension settlement and curtailment gains and losses, pension and postretirement benefit costs other than service costs, gains on sales of assets, and purchase consideration.

The measure of segment assets used by the CODM is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total consolidated assets. The primary measure of segment profit or loss that is most consistent with GAAP is net income (loss) attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Net income (loss) is used by the CODM for planning and forecasting in future periods, analyzing the core operating performance of the business, as well as to allocate resources, including for employee compensation and capital investment.

Capital expenditures are regularly provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis. See our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for capital expenditure amounts as of March 31, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 10: DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Derivatives

The Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to commodity price, foreign currency, and interest rate fluctuations and their related impact on expected future cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, Company policy, accounting considerations, or the prohibitive economic cost or risk of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in commodity pricing, foreign currency exchange, or interest rates. Interest rate swaps may be entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating-rate borrowings. We use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge variability in cash flows in our Canada, Mexico, and China operations when a payment currency is different from our functional currency. From time to time, we may enter into fixed price sales contracts with our customers for certain of our inventory components. We may enter into metal commodity futures and options contracts to reduce volatility in the price of these metals. We may also enter into natural gas and diesel fuel future and option contracts to manage the price risk of forecasted purchases of these energy costs.

The Company currently does not account for its commodity contracts and foreign exchange derivative contracts as hedges but rather marks them to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings.

The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its derivative counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from the failure of any counterparties to perform under any agreements.

The following table summarizes the location and fair value amount of our derivative instruments reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all derivative instruments held by the Company were subject to master netting arrangements with various financial institutions. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross derivative assets and liabilities presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets offset to a net asset of $4.5 million and zero as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has various commodity derivatives to lock in hot roll coil, nickel, aluminum, copper, natural gas, and diesel fuel prices for varying time periods. The fair value of these derivatives is determined based on the spot price each individual contract was purchased at and compared with the one-month daily average actual spot price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (hot roll coil, copper, natural gas, and diesel fuel) and the London Metals Exchange (nickel and aluminum), respectively, for the commodity on the valuation date. In addition, the Company has numerous foreign exchange contracts to hedge variability in cash flows when a payment currency is different from our functional currency. The Company defines the fair value of foreign exchange contracts as the amount of the difference between the contracted and current market value at the end of the period. The Company estimates the current market value of foreign exchange contracts by obtaining month-end market quotes of foreign exchange rates and forward rates for contracts with similar terms. The Company uses the exchange rates provided by Reuters. Each commodity and foreign exchange contract term varies in the number of months, but in general, contracts are between 1 to 12 months in length. As the fair value of each commodity and foreign exchange contract is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable (Level 2 inputs) and the market approach valuation technique, as described in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement", these derivative balances are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables less provisions, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt and the current portions thereof equal the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the underlying borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility which are typically 30 to 90 days. See the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 values of these assets and liabilities.

NOTE 12: REVENUE RECOGNITION

Net sales include product revenue and shipping and handling charges, net of estimated sales returns and any related sales incentives. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products.

We have one operating and reportable segment, metals service centers.

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the distribution of metals. The following table shows the Company’s percentage of sales disaggregated by major product line:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Product Line	2025			2024
Carbon Steel Flat		28	%		28	%
Carbon Steel Plate		9			10
Carbon Steel Long		12			13
Stainless Steel Flat		15			15
Stainless Steel Plate		5			5

Aluminum Flat		16			16
Aluminum Plate		3			3
Aluminum Long		5			4
Other		2			2
Total		100	%		100	%

A significant majority of the Company’s sales are attributable to its U.S. operations. The only sales attributed to foreign countries relate to the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada, China, and Mexico. The following table summarizes consolidated financial information of our operations by geographic location based on where sales originated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Net Sales	(In millions)
United States	$	1,025.1	$	1,125.3
Foreign countries		110.6		113.9
Total	$	1,135.7	$	1,239.2

Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time based on (1) if the contract has an enforceable right to payment and (2) the type of product that is being sold to the customer, with products that are determined to have no alternative use being recognized over time. The following table summarizes revenues by the type of item sold:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Timing of Revenue Recognition	2025			2024
Revenue on products with an alternative use		86	%		86	%
Revenue on products with no alternative use		14			14
Total		100	%		100	%

Contract Balances

A receivable is recognized in the period in which an invoice is issued, which is generally when the product is delivered to the customer. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically net 30 days from the invoice date. We do not have any contracts with significant financing components.

Receivables, which are included in accounts receivables within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, from contracts with customers were $530.5 million and $428.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Contract assets, which consist primarily of revenues recognized over time that have not yet been invoiced and the value of inventory, as estimated, that will be received in conjunction with product returns, are reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities, which consist primarily of accruals associated with amounts that will be paid to customers for volume rebates, cash discounts, sales returns and allowances, estimates of shipping and handling costs associated with performance obligations recorded over time, customer prepayments, and bill and hold transactions are reported in other accrued liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets amounted to $19.5 million and $19.8 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Contract liabilities amounted to $17.1 million and $17.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Contract liabilities satisfied during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $2.3 million.

The Company’s performance obligations are typically short-term in nature. As a result, the Company has elected the practical expedient that provides an exemption of the disclosure requirements regarding information about remaining performance obligations on contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million compared to an income tax benefit of $2.1 million in the prior year. The income tax benefit in both periods primarily represents taxes at federal and local statutory rates where the Company operates, adjusted for certain one-time items. The decrease in income tax benefit in the first three months of 2025 compared to the first three months of 2024 is primarily a result of the increase in actual and forecasted earnings between the two periods.

As required by FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") the Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance when, based upon the evaluation of all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, we analyze, among other things, our recent history of earnings, the nature and timing of reversing book-tax temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and future income. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on certain foreign and U.S. federal deferred tax assets until such time as in management’s judgment, considering all available positive and negative evidence, the Company determines that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of some or all of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was $4.0 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. We anticipate that certain statutes of limitation will close within the next twelve months resulting in the immaterial reduction of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits related to various intercompany transactions. The reserve for uncertain tax benefits decreased from $2.5 million as of December 31, 2024 to $1.7 million as of March 31, 2025 due to state tax settlements and related accrued interest.

NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share attributable to Ryerson Holding’s common stock is determined based on earnings for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to Ryerson Holding’s common stock considers the effect of potential common shares, unless inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect. The weighted average number of shares excluded, as they would have had an antidilutive effect, were 758,756 and 701,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Antidilutive shares were related to outstanding restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Industry and Operating Trends

We are a metals service center providing value-added processing and distribution of industrial metals with operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China. We purchase large quantities of metal products from primary producers and sell these materials in smaller quantities to a wide variety of metals-consuming industries. We carry a full line of approximately 75,000 products in stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and alloy steels and a limited line of nickel and red metals in various shapes and forms. In addition to our metals products, we offer numerous value-added processing and fabrication services, and nearly 80% of the metals products we sell are processed by us by bending, beveling, blanking, blasting, burning, cutting-to-length, drilling, flattening, forming, grinding, laser cutting, machining, notching, painting, polishing, punching, rolling, sawing, shearing, slitting, stamping, tapping, threading, welding, or other techniques to process materials to a specified thickness, length, width, shape, and surface quality pursuant to specific customer orders.

Similar to other metals service centers, we maintain substantial inventories of metals to accommodate the short lead times and just-in-time delivery requirements of our customers. Accordingly, we purchase metals to maintain our inventory at levels that we believe to be appropriate to satisfy the anticipated needs of our customers based upon customer forecasts, historic buying practices, supply agreements with customers, mill lead times, and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders. At the request of our customers, we may enter into swaps in order to mitigate our customers’ risk of volatility in the price of metals, as well as metal hedges to mitigate our own risk of volatility in the price of metals. We have no long-term, fixed-price metals purchase contracts. When metals prices decline, customer demands for lower prices and our competitors’ responses to those demands could result in lower sale prices and, consequently, lower gross profits and earnings as we sell existing metals inventory. When metals prices increase, competitive conditions will influence how much of the price increase we may pass on to our customers. Changes in average selling prices are primarily driven by commodity metals prices, which impact Ryerson’s selling prices over the subsequent three to six-month period.

The metals service center industry is cyclical, volatile in demand and pricing, and difficult to predict. In the first quarter of 2025, Ryerson experienced higher average selling prices of 0.8% and an increase in shipments of 11.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, as the period was characterized by restocking leading to an increase in seasonal manufacturing demand as well as increasing input prices supporting our metals commodities mix. Compared to the first three months of 2024, Ryerson experienced lower average selling prices of 8.9% and higher shipments of 0.6% in the first three months of 2025, as global oversupply underlying the pricing of our metals product mix compressed our average selling prices between the periods while volumes were roughly comparable.

In the first quarter of 2025, key steel industry economic indicators reversed the recent trend of contractionary reports in industrial activity. This is evidenced by the Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”), which reported readings above the growth threshold of 50, with a readings of 50.9 and 50.3 in January and February, respectively, after contractionary readings in every month of 2024. However, the March 2025 reading of 49.0 was a return to contractionary territory. U.S. Industrial Production, which measures industrial sector business output, reported expansionary year-over-year output for each month of the first quarter of 2025, with January’s 0.5% growth reading occurring after five consecutive months of contractionary industrial production readings.

According to the Metal Service Center Institute ("MSCI"), North American service center volumes decreased by 1.3% in the first three months of 2025 compared to the first three months of 2024. Ryerson's North American volumes increased 0.3% over the same period. On a quarterly sequential basis, the industry volume increase of 10.9% compared to Ryerson’s North American volume increase of 13.9%.

Ryerson’s year-over-year sales volume increase of 0.6% was driven by increased volumes in the Construction Equipment, Metal Fabrication & Machine Shop, and Oil & Gas sectors, partially offset by decreased volumes in the Commercial Ground Transportation, Consumer Durable, Food Processing & Agricultural Equipment, and HVAC sectors.

Ryerson’s quarter-over-quarter sales volume increase of 11.9% was driven by increased volumes across all sectors representing our end-markets, with Construction Equipment, Metal Fabrication & Machine Shops, Industrial Machinery & Equipment, and HVAC driving the largest gains.

*A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP measure is included in the subsequent table.

To provide greater insight into the Company’s operating trends apart from the period’s one-time transactions, Ryerson provides adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share figures, which are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, to complement the reported GAAP net loss and diluted loss per share figures. Management uses these metrics to assess year-over-year performance excluding non-recurring transactions. Adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net loss or diluted loss per share determined in accordance with GAAP. As illustrated in the below table, the first three months of 2025 had no adjustments to the net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $5.6 million compared to the net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation in the first three months of 2024 of $7.6 million which includes a pension settlement loss of $2.2 million and a $0.3 million curtailment gain related to various retirement benefit plans. After adjusting for these non-core business transactions and the related income taxes, the adjusted net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the first three months 2025 is $5.6 million compared to a $6.2 million net loss attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation in the first three months of 2024.

Recent Developments

In 2025, the U.S. government has announced and retracted tariffs repeatedly on imports, including imports of steel and aluminum from all countries, as well as on all U.S. imports not covered under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act ("Section 232"). All of the individual country exemptions related to quotas and tariff rate quotas were eliminated. While some individual exemptions still exist under Section 232, they are all set to expire on their next anniversary date. Additionally, many governments including the Chinese government, announced reciprocal tariffs on U.S. imports, creating further uncertainty in global trade. It is unclear at this time what the final tariff actions will be. The tariffs introduce significant uncertainty towards customer's supply chains and the impact they will have on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows remains to be determined.

Components of Results of Operations

We generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of our metals products. The majority of revenue is recognized upon delivery of product to customers. The timing of shipment is substantially the same as the timing of delivery to customers given the proximity of our distribution sites to our customers. Revenues associated with products which we believe have no alternative use, and where the Company has an enforceable right to payment, are recognized on an over-time basis. Over-time revenues are recorded in proportion with the progress made toward completing the performance obligation.

Sales, cost of materials sold, gross profit, and operating expense control are the principal factors that impact our profitability.

Net sales. Our sales volume and pricing are driven by market demand, which is largely determined by overall industrial production and conditions in the specific industries in which our customers operate. Sales prices are also primarily driven by market factors such as overall demand and availability of product. Our net sales include revenue from product sales, net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives.

Cost of materials sold. Cost of materials sold includes metal purchase and in-bound freight costs, third-party processing costs, and direct and indirect internal processing costs. The cost of materials sold fluctuates with our sales volume and our ability to purchase metals at competitive prices. Increases in sales volume generally enable us to improve purchasing leverage with suppliers as we buy larger quantities of metals inventories.

Gross profit. Gross profit is the difference between net sales and the cost of materials sold. Our sales prices to our customers are subject to market competition. Achieving acceptable levels of gross profit is dependent on our acquiring metals at competitive prices, our ability to manage the impact of changing prices, and efficiently managing our internal and external processing costs.

Operating expenses. Optimizing business processes and asset utilization to lower fixed expenses such as employee, facility, and truck fleet costs, which cannot be rapidly reduced in times of declining volume, and maintaining a low fixed cost structure in times of increasing sales volume, have a significant impact on our profitability. Operating expenses include costs related to warehousing and distributing our products as well as selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Average selling price per ton sold	$	2,271	$	2,493	$	(222	)		(8.9	)%

Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 decreased from the same period a year ago due to lower metal commodity prices caused by the effects of contracting industrial manufacturing demand. Compared to the year-ago period, average selling prices decreased for all of our carbon and stainless product lines in the three months ended March 31, 2025 with the largest decreases in our carbon plate, carbon flat, and carbon long products, partially offset by increases in all of our aluminum products lines. Tons sold increased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the year-ago period. The product lines with the largest increases in tons sold in 2025 are our stainless long, stainless plate, and aluminum long product lines partially offset by a decrease in carbon long and aluminum flat tons sold.

The decrease in cost of materials sold in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to the year-ago period is primarily due to lower metal commodity prices. Compared to the year-ago period the average cost of materials sold decreased across all of our carbon and stainless product lines with the largest decreases in our carbon plate, carbon long, and stainless plate product lines, partially offset by increases in the average cost of materials sold for all of our aluminum product lines. During the first quarter of 2025, LIFO expense was $6.8 million compared to LIFO expense of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses	$202.1	17.8%	$216.8	17.5%	$(14.7)	(6.8)%

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Expenses in the first quarter of 2025 included $2.7 million of expenses from an acquisition made during the third quarter of 2024. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, expenses decreased $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. On a same-store basis, the expense decrease in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to lower reorganization costs as the first quarter of 2024 included start up costs associated with our new state of the art University Park, IL location as well as Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") conversion and integration activities. In addition, benefit expenses were lower in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower medical expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses declined primarily due to lower consulting and travel and entertainment expenses. Partially offsetting the expense decreases was an increase in delivery expenses and incentive compensation.

Our operating profit increased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, as lower expenses offset the decreased gross profit as discussed above.

Other income and (expense), net	$	0.3			—		$	(0.2	)		—		$	0.5			250.0	%

Interest and other expense on debt decreased in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to the year-ago period primarily due to lower interest rates on our $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (“the Ryerson Credit Facility”) partially offset by a higher level of borrowings outstanding under the Ryerson Credit Facility in the first three months of 2025.

The other income in the first three months of 2025 includes a $0.2 million settlement gain related to lump-sum buyouts for the Central Steel & Wire ("CSW") pension plan. The other expense in the first three months of 2024 includes a $2.2 million settlement loss resulting from the termination of the Ryerson Canada Bargaining Unit Pension Plan. Partially offsetting the $2.2 million settlement loss was a $0.5 million settlement gain and a $0.3 million curtailment gain related to lump-sum buyouts and a reduction in future years of service for the CSW pension and other post-employment benefit plans resulting from workforce reductions associated with the move of the CSW headquarters and main operations to a new facility in University Park, IL. Other income and (expense), net in the first three months of 2024 also includes foreign currency translation gains of $1.2 million.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 23.2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 22.1% in the first quarter of 2024. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state and foreign income taxes partially offset by the effects of certain discrete items recorded during the periods.

Earnings (loss) per share. The changes in loss per share are due to the results of operations discussed above as well as having fewer shares outstanding in 2025 after the repurchase of 2,526,467 shares of common stock during 2024.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility. Our principal source of operating cash is from the sale of metals. Our principal uses of cash are for payments associated with the procurement and processing of metals, costs incurred for the warehousing and delivery of inventories, the selling and administrative costs of the business, capital expenditures, and for interest payments on debt.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $33.6 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $27.7 million at December 31, 2024. Our total debt outstanding at March 31, 2025 increased to $497.3 million compared to $467.4 million at December 31, 2024. We had a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 38% and 36% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility and foreign debt facilities) of $490 million at March 31, 2025 versus $451 million at December 31, 2024. Our net debt (defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $464 million and $440 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Total liquidity and net debt are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. We believe that total liquidity provides additional information for measuring our ability to fund our operations. Total liquidity does not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and total liquidity is not necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. We believe that net debt provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s overall debt profile. Net debt should not be used as a substitute for total debt outstanding as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to total liquidity:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024

Total debt	$	498		$	468
Less: cash and cash equivalents		(34	)		(28	)
Net debt	$	464		$	440

Of the total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, $10.3 million was held in subsidiaries outside the U.S. which is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Ryerson does not currently foresee a need to repatriate earnings from its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Although Ryerson has historically satisfied needs for more capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances, Ryerson could elect to repatriate earnings held in foreign jurisdictions, which could result in higher effective tax rates. We have not recorded a deferred tax liability for the effect of a possible repatriation of these earnings as management intends to permanently reinvest these earnings outside of the U.S. Specific plans for reinvestment include funding for future international acquisitions and funding of existing international operations.

Operating activities. Working capital fluctuates throughout the year based on business needs. Working capital needs tend to be counter-cyclical, meaning that in periods of expansion the Company will use cash to fund working capital requirements, but in periods of contraction the Company will generate cash from reduced working capital requirements. In the first three months of 2025, working capital requirements increased mainly due to higher sales levels during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driving an increase in accounts receivables and a slight decrease in inventory quantities, as tons were sold faster than they were replaced after stock was built through 2024 year-end buys. Increased operating activity and timing of payments at the end of the first quarter of 2025 resulted in an increase in accounts payable. In the first three months of 2024, working capital requirements increased due to an increase in accounts receivable from higher sales levels compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Inventory levels also increased in the first quarter of 2024 as inventory was purchased to meet higher sales levels. Material purchases were higher at the end of the first quarter of 2024 compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 resulting in an increase in accounts payable in the first quarter of 2024.

Investing activities. The Company's main investing activities are capital expenditures and acquisitions. Capital expenditures have decreased year-over-year as the Company completed its three-year investment cycle in 2024, which focused on organic growth through the expansion and modernization of existing facilities, addition of new state-of-the-art facilities, and additions of processing equipment to support value-added business.

Financing activities. The Company's main source of liquidity to fund working capital requirements is borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility. In the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we increased credit facility borrowings to fund our working capital requirements as business activity increased compared to each prior year's fourth quarter. Book overdrafts fluctuate based on the timing of payments. Cash dividends paid decreased from $6.4 million in the first three months of 2024 to $6.0 million in the first three months of 2025 due to fewer shares outstanding.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of business with customers, vendors, and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as letters of credit and surety bonds which totaled $2 million and $12 million, respectively as of March 31, 2025. We do not have any other material off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are not likely to have a material effect on our current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Capital Resources

We believe that cash flow from operations and proceeds from the Ryerson Credit Facility will provide sufficient funds to meet our contractual obligations and operating requirements in the normal course of business.

Total debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet increased to $497.3 million at March 31, 2025 from $467.4 million at December 31, 2024, mainly due to cash utilized in operating activities in the first three months of 2025 related to increased working capital requirements.

Total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2025 consisted of the following amounts: $500.0 million of borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility, $0.3 million of foreign debt, less $3.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. For further information, see Note 6: Long Term Debt in Part I, Item I - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Funding

At December 31, 2024, pension liabilities exceeded plan assets by $52.9 million. Through the three months ended March 31, 2025, we have made $7.8 million in pension contributions and we anticipate an additional minimum required pension contribution of approximately $7.4 million in the remaining nine months of 2025 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and Pension Protection Act in the U.S. and Ontario Pension Benefits Act in Canada. Future contribution requirements depend on the investment returns on plan assets, the impact of discount rates on pension liabilities, and changes in regulatory requirements. We are unable to determine the amount or timing of any such contributions required by ERISA or whether any such contributions would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flows.

For further information regarding our pension and postretirement benefit plans, see Note 7: Employee Benefits in Part I, Item I - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in returns on plan assets may affect our plan funding, cash flows, and financial condition. Differences between actual plan asset returns and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets impact the measurement of the following year’s pension expense and pension funding requirements. However, we believe that cash flow from operations and the Ryerson Credit Facility described above will provide sufficient funds to make the minimum required contributions.

Material Cash Requirements

The Company expects to make approximately $500 million in principal payments to satisfy its debt obligations related to the Ryerson Credit Facility, which come due in 2027. Please refer to Part I, Item I - Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6: Long-term Debt for further information.

The Company expects to pay approximately $28 million of interest on the Ryerson Credit Facility over the next 12 months and $36 million thereafter. Interest payments related to the variable rate debt were estimated using the weighted average interest rate for the debt instrument.

The Company leases various assets including real estate, trucks, trailers, mobile equipment, processing equipment, and IT equipment. We have non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various times through 2045 and finance leases expiring at various times through 2031. The total amount of future lease payments is estimated to be $487 million, with $49 million due over the next 12 months. We did not have any material leases signed but not yet commenced as of March 31, 2025.

Purchase obligations with suppliers are entered into when we receive firm sales commitments with certain of our customers. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding purchase obligations of approximately $25 million expiring within a year

Income Taxes

We maintain a valuation allowance on certain foreign and U.S. federal deferred tax assets until such time as in management’s judgment, considering all available positive and negative evidence, and consistent with its past determinations, we determine that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary areas of market risk include changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. We continually monitor these risks and develop strategies to manage them.

Interest rate risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. We are exposed to market risk related to our variable-rate long-term debt. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have no publicly traded debt. The carrying value of our debt was $497.3 million and $467.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The carrying value approximates our fair value due to the short-term nature of the underlying borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility.

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. As of March 31, 2025, we have no outstanding interest rate swaps.

As of March 31, 2025, all of our debt is at variable interest rates. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates on variable debt would have increased interest expense for the first three months of 2025 by approximately $1.5 million.

Foreign exchange rate risk

We are subject to foreign currency risks primarily through our operations in Canada, Mexico, and China and we use foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to currency price fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are principally used to purchase U.S. dollars. We had foreign currency contracts with a U.S. dollar notional amount of $1.1 million outstanding at March 31, 2025 and a fair value of zero. We do not currently account for these contracts as hedges but rather mark these contracts to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million associated with its foreign currency contracts. A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates underlying the foreign currency contracts from the market rate as of March 31, 2025 would increase or decrease the fair value of the foreign currency contracts by $0.1 million.

The currency effects of translating the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will not be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until there is a liquidation or sale of those foreign subsidiaries.

Commodity price risk

In general, we purchase metals in an effort to maintain our inventory at levels that we believe to be appropriate to satisfy the anticipated needs of our customers based upon historic buying practices, customer contracts, and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders.

Metal prices can fluctuate significantly due to several factors including changes in foreign and domestic production capacity, raw material availability, metals consumption, and foreign currency rates. Fuel and gas prices can fluctuate based on input costs, economic conditions, international instability, and supply disruptions. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a limited portion of our exposure to fluctuations in the cost of certain metal and energy commodities. No derivatives are held for trading purposes.

As of March 31, 2025, we had 7,413 tons of hot roll coil swap contracts with a net asset value of $0.2 million, 10,365 tons of aluminum swap contracts with a net asset value of $1.9 million, 457 tons of nickel swap contracts with a net asset value of $0.1 million, 1,656 tons of copper swap contracts with a net asset value of $2.1 million, 980,000 gallons of diesel fuel contracts with zero value, and 249,040 gallons of natural gas contracts with a net asset value of $0.2 million. We do not currently account for these swaps as hedges, but rather mark these contracts to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $6.3 million associated with its metal and energy commodity derivatives.

A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the commodity and energy prices underlying the derivative contracts from the market rate as of March 31, 2025 would increase or decrease the fair value of derivative contracts by $6.5 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
