Since our IPO in 1994, Reliance has completed 62 acquisitions. Today, we are one company comprised of over 70 distinct brands. Both the individual and combined strengths of our Family of Companies make Reliance the industry leader. Our success is built on safeguarding our most important assets – our employees – and, in turn, our employees’ ability to successfully execute our corporate strategy. This was demonstrated in 2016, when we reduced recordable safety incidents by over 25% compared to 2015 and simultaneously achieved record gross profit margins. 5 Over the past six years, Reliance has strategically invested over $1 billion in capital expenditures – including $154.9 million in 2016. Our investments in cutting-edge plasma and laser technologies have enabled us to perform higher levels of value-added processing with shorter lead times: wins for us and for our customers. In 2016, we performed value-added processing on approximately 47% of our orders. Reliance possesses the technological skills to satisfy today’s business requirements. We stand poised to meet the increase in orders as the various end markets we service continue to rebound. 6 Invested in value-added technology 7 Focused on increasing stockholder value 8 9 Even in challenging times, Reliance continues to deliver quality products and services – and does so profitably – thanks to the expertise of our management and solid execution by our workforce. Our operational agility helps us navigate volatile metals pricing, changing market conditions, and fluctuations at any point along our supply chain. The results: a strong corporate balance sheet and consistent returns to our stockholders. We remain focused on our balanced capital allocation strategy: growth through acquisitions and organic investments, while also providing meaningful stockholder returns. This includes quarterly cash dividends, which Reliance has paid for 57 consecutive years. In 2016, we increased our dividend – for the 24th time since our IPO – 5.9% to $0.45 per share. 9 Fellow Stockholders Operationally, 2016 was a terrific year for Reliance. Our actions in the United States reduced import levels, focus on maximizing gross profit margin resulted in creating an environment in which the domestic mills our first-ever annual gross profit margin above 30%. were able to increase metal prices for certain products. In 2015 we concentrated on right-sizing our overall However, the overall pricing environment was volatile inventory position, which resulted in record cash flow throughout the year, causing our average selling price to from operations of $1 billion. In both 2015 and 2016, we decrease 6.8% in 2016 compared to 2015. Our focus on increased our focus on properly pricing our products and gross profit margin, however, allowed us to realize a 600 services to reflect the value we provide to our customers. basis point improvement in our FIFO gross profit margin, These actions contributed to our higher gross profit from 25.1% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to a peak of 31.1% in margin and strong cash flow that allowed us to continue the second quarter of 2016. Our higher gross profit margin executing our growth strategy while also providing in 2016 resulted in $328 million more gross profit dollars meaningful stockholder returns. despite a $737 million decline in sales.

We will also continue market. Demand for automotive remains healthy at current to prioritize returning value to our stockholders through production rates. We began processing aluminum for the increased dividend payments and opportunistic share auto industry in 2015, mainly through our toll-processing repurchases. In 2016, we continued our balanced capital operations in the U.S. and Mexico, and since then have allocation strategy, using our strong cash flow from expanded our processing volume and capital investments operations to fund $348.7 million in acquisitions, $154.9 in this area, due to the increased usage of aluminum million of capital expenditures, and $120.4 million in in automotive.

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, is not significant and is excluded from our cost of sales. Therefore, our cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the material we sell. We use gross profit as shown above as a measure of operating performance. Gross profit is an important operating and financial measure, as fluctuations in our gross profit can have a significant impact on our earnings. Gross profit, as presented, is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies. (2) Long-term debt includes the long-term portion of capital lease obligations.

(4) Book value per share is calculated as Reliance stockholders’ equity divided by number of common shares outstanding as of December 31 of each year. (5) Return on Reliance stockholders’ equity is based on the beginning of year equity amount, except for 2015, which is adjusted for $355.5 million of share 1,121.5 824.6 1,124.7 742.7 3,974.2 3,604.4 repurchases, and 2006 which is adjusted for a 2006 acquisition using $360.5 million of common stock as consideration. (6) Net debt-to-total capital ratio is calculated as total debt (net of cash) divided by Reliance stockholders’ equity plus total debt (net of cash). The adoption of accounting rule changes in 2015 affected the calculation of net-debt-to-total capital ratio. (7) 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, is not significant and is excluded from our cost of sales. Therefore, our cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the material we sell. We use gross profit margin as shown as a measure of operating performance. Gross profit margin is an important operating and financial measure, as fluctuations in our gross profit margin can have a significant impact on our earnings. Gross profit margin, as presented, is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies. 599.9 71.8 1,004.0 2,106.2 $5.36 $0.32 $28.12 23.4% 2.9 32.2% 25.3% 10.0% 9.0% 5.6% 550.7 22.3 1,078.3 1,746.4 $4.82 $0.22 $23.07 27.3% 3.0 37.4% 26.3% 10.9% 10.0% 6.2% 21 1,192.3 1,025.3 4,659.1 508.6 86.2 848.0 973.3 981.3 4,293.5 417.6 86.4 839.3 2,823.7 2,606.4 $2.61 $0.40 $37.83 7.5% 3.3 23.3% 25.1% 5.7% 4.7% 3.1% $2.01 $0.40 $35.34 6.1% 3.3 25.3% 26.3% 4.7% 3.7% 2.8% 1,652.2 998.7 5,184.8 650.2 93.9 1,664.9 2,431.4 $6.56 $0.40 $33.17 22.9% 3.5 41.3% 24.8% 9.8% 8.8% 5.5% Reliance Locations R E LI A N C E D I V I S I O N S Bralco Metals Los Angeles, CA Headquarters 714-736-4800 Albuquerque, NM 505-345-0959 Dallas, TX 972-276-2676 Phoenix, AZ 602-252-1918 Seattle, WA 253-395-0614 Wichita, KS 316-838-9351 Aerotech Alloys A Bralco Metals Company Temecula, CA 951-694-1917 Affiliated Metals A Bralco Metals Company Salt Lake City, UT 801-363-1711 Olympic Metals A Bralco Metals Company Denver, CO 303-286-9700 Central Plains Steel Co.
