Applying stringent acquisition 

criteria ensures that our Family of 

Companies grows strategically, 

sustainably, and profitably. 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.

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.

(1)   Gross  profit,  calculated  as  net  sales  less  cost 

of  sales,  is  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure  as  it 

excludes  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  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.

of capital lease obligations.

general  and  administrative  expense,  and  depreciation  and  amortization  expense. 

Certain reclassifications were made to 2007 and prior years to include amortization 

expense in the calculation of Operating income. In 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the 

calculation of Operating income includes various non-recurring charges and credits, 

including impairment charges in 2016, 2015, 2013 and 2012.

(2)   The adoption of  accounting rule changes in 2009 affected the presentation of 

noncontrolling  interests.    Prior  year  pretax  income  and  margin  amounts  have 

been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current presentation. 

(3)   Long-term debt includes the long-term portion of capital lease obligations. The 

adoption  of  accounting  rule  changes  in  2015  affected  the  presentation  of  debt 

issuance costs. Prior year Total assets and Long-term debt amounts have been 

retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current presentation.

(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

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.
