We keep our equipment and employees the sharpest in 

the  industry  so  we  can  provide  not  only  best-in-class 

service but expanded value-added processing services 

and solutions to meet our customers’ business needs.

2019 ANNUAL REPORTIn  2019,  our  SMART  Safety  program  unified  our safety 

efforts under the theme, “One Family, One Culture.” The 

results?  A  10%  reduction  in  OSHA  recordables  compared 

to  2018.  In  2020,  we  “Make  it  Personal.”  We  believe 

that an individual, personalized safety-first approach 

empowers a ripple effect that has a positive impact on

(1)   Gross  profit,  calculated  as  net  sales  less  cost  of  sales,  is  a  non-GA AP  financial  measure  as  it  excludes  depreciation  and  amortization  expense 
associated  with  the  corresponding  sales.  About  half  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 expense, is not significant and is excluded from 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)   The  adoption  of  accounting  rule  changes  in  2017  affected  the  presentation  of  pension  costs.  Prior  year  warehouse,  delivery,  selling,  general  and 

administrative expense and other (income) expense, net have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current presentation. 

(3)  2017 includes a $207.3 million, or $2.82 per share, income tax benefit as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

(1)   Operating income represents net sales less cost of sales, warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization expense and impairment 

of long-lived assets. The calculation of operating income in years 2012 through 2019 includes various non-recurring charges and credits, including impairment charges in 2019, 

2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013 and 2012. Additionally, the adoption of accounting rule changes in 2017 affected the presentation of operating income. Prior year operating income and 

margin amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current presentation. 

(2)  2017 includes a $207.3 million, or $2.82 per share, income tax benefit as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

(3)   Short-term and long-term debt amounts include finance lease obligations. The adoption of accounting rule changes in 2015 affected the presentation of debt issuance costs. Prior 

year total assets, long-term debt and net debt-to-total capital ratio amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current presentation.

(4)  Book value per share is calculated as Reliance stockholders’ equity divided by the 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 2019, 2018 and 2015, which are adjusted for $50.0 million, $484.9 million and 

$355.5 million of share repurchases, respectively, and 2017, which is adjusted for a $207.3 million income tax benefit as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

(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). 

(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-GA AP financial measures as they exclude 

depreciation and amortization expense associated with the corresponding sales. About half 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 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 above 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.
