RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT

In  2020,  the  coronavirus  pandemic  tested  the  strength  of  our  longstanding  strategy  –  and 

we proved its resilience. Reliance conscientiously cared for the health, safety, and wellbeing 

of  our  employees.  They,  in  turn,  worked  nimbly  under  ever-changing  circumstances  to 

remain  customer-centered  while  proactively  reducing  expenses  and  focusing  on  continuous 

improvement. As a Family, our companies collaborated, innovated, and executed: together, we 

met our inventory turn goal, achieved a second consecutive record annual gross profit margin, 

and generated cash flow from operations of $1.17 billion – which was used on stock repurchases, 

increased dividends, and operating investments to benefit all our stakeholders. Further, Reliance 

formalized our commitment to operating ethically and responsibly by creating a Sustainability 

Mission Statement. While our strategy based on product, process, geographical, and end market 

diversity and decentralization of operations helped us achieve many milestones, Reliance’s true 

foundation is the strength and resolve of our people. We attribute our success to them all. More 

than a year on, we’ve learned many lessons. Moving ahead, Reliance is safer, better prepared, 

and emerging stronger than ever.

EMERGING STRONGERBETTER TOGETHER: OUR FAMILY IS 
STRONGER THAN STEEL

Every  step  of  a  customer’s  journey  is  powered  by  a  knowledgeable,  dedicated,  and  service-

oriented  Reliance  employee.  Our  frontline,  essential  workers’  commitment  to  exceed 

expectations  is  an  enduring  aspect  of  Reliance  culture  and  the  backbone  of  our  success  – 

evidenced by a high level of repeat business. Our employees’ combined actions to take care of 

each other led to our safest year on record and our winning the Metals Service Center Institute’s 

2020  Safety  Innovation  &  Improvement  Award.  Their  daily  efforts  drove  our  strong  financial 

results and recognitions including the Fastmarkets AMM award for Service Center of the Year; 

#1 on Metal Center News’ Top 50 list for the 13th consecutive year; and our highest rank of 291 on 

Fortune magazine’s list of America’s 500 largest companies.

EMERGING STRONGERCOMMITTED TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
AND SUPPLIERS

Responding to the coronavirus pandemic reinforced our relationships in many ways. Individuals 

embraced technological innovation to bridge gaps resulting from socially distant or remote work 

and sales scenarios. Our smaller customers depended on us to continue supplying materials so 

that their businesses could stay afloat. Reliance’s ongoing investments to increase our value-

added  services  combined  with  strong,  well-established  supplier  relationships  helped  ensure 

uninterrupted  best-in-class  service.  We  are  proud  to  have  consistently  and  reliably  provided 

metal solutions during the pandemic: in leveraging our longstanding mill relationships to source 

materials even during tight supply conditions, we demonstrated to our customers that they can 

always rely on Reliance.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY MISSION STATEMENT

Reliance’s sustainability efforts are anchored in the same fundamental principle that has made 

us a successful business for over 80 years: a steadfast commitment to doing the right thing. We 

are committed to promoting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees and their families, 

as well as supporting the communities in which we live and work. We strive to foster a culture 

of excellence by generating industry leading results while operating responsibly and ethically, 

minimizing  environmental  impacts,  and  leveraging  the  diversity  of  talent  and  perspectives 

within our Family of Companies. Looking ahead, Reliance will maintain our strategic focus on 

innovation and continuous improvement without compromising our dedication to doing the 

right thing for our people – including our colleagues, our customers, and our suppliers – our 

communities, and our planet.

(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. 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 expense (income), 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.

EMERGING STRONGER 
 
We leveraged technology and embraced remote work, where feasible, and modified the way we conduct many aspects of our business to reduce the number of 
in-person interactions. We significantly expanded the use of virtual interactions in all aspects of our business, including customer facing activities and our annual 
meeting of stockholders.  

FELLOW 
STOCKHOLDERS

2020 was a year marked by unprecedented challenges 
created by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We are 
proud that Reliance not only remained operational as 
an essential business but that despite considerable 
market turbulence, the outstanding execution by 
our dedicated employees enabled us to deliver 
a solid financial performance – including record 
gross profit margins. Company-wide, we executed 
on our tried-and-true business model: providing 
superior customer service, when-needed inventory 
management, strong pricing discipline, effective 
expense control, growth, and innovation. Every 
member of the Reliance Family of Companies made 
tremendous efforts to quickly and nimbly respond to 
the changing environment and ensure our customers 
were always taken care of. Most importantly, our 
employees took care of one another by adopting new 
COVID-19 safety protocols in the workplace, thereby 
maintaining an unwavering commitment to health and 
safety – our most important core value.  

Our solid 2020 results demonstrate both the 
resiliency of the long-term Reliance business model 
and our ability to execute in good times and bad. Our 
practice of serving a broad spectrum of end markets 
– including non-residential construction, automotive, 
heavy industry, aerospace, and energy – helps 
mitigate volatility in any single sector. In addition, 
our decentralized operating structure allows us 
to respond rapidly to fluid market conditions and 
demand trends. This strategic business design, 
combined with continuous improvements to our 
value-added processing capabilities and pricing 
discipline exercised by our field leadership, enabled 
Reliance to achieve a record annual gross profit 
margin (31.5%) for the second consecutive year, 
despite the extraordinarily unpredictable market 
conditions. In 2020, tons sold declined 10.8% 
compared to 2019 as a result of lower demand in 
nearly all of our end markets due to COVID-19 related 
customer shut-downs and project delays in the 
first half of the year. Additionally, our 2020 average 
selling price per ton sold was down 9.6% from 2019 
as a result of declines in mill prices for most of 
the products we sell during the first nine months 

9

2020 ANNUAL REPORTof the year. Despite these challenges, our record 
gross profit margin and effective expense control 
measures helped mitigate the decline in profitability 
as we generated non-GAAP earnings per diluted 
share of $7.71 for the full year of 2020. 

The health, safety, and well-being of our employees 
is Reliance’s top priority. Since 2017, Reliance’s 
comprehensive, company-wide SMART Safety 
strategy has further fostered and deeply instilled 
a culture of safety across our entire Family of 
Companies. Working together to share lessons 
learned and best practices, our efforts culminated 
in 2020 as we recorded our safest year yet, including 
a 23% improvement in our safety incident rate 
compared to 2019. Reliance was also awarded the 
prestigious Safety Innovation and Improvement 
Award by the Metals Service Center Institute. We 
enhanced health and safety measures in response 
to the new and unique challenges presented 
by COVID-19. At the onset of the pandemic, we 
acted swiftly to reduce the spread of the virus: 
where possible, we promoted remote working 
arrangements; in operational warehouses, we 
implemented social distancing and staggered shifts, 
improved sanitation measures, and utilized contact 
tracing technology.

To support our employees impacted by the virus, we 
provided temporary aid in the form of paid time away 
from work, expanded assistance under our Reliance 

Cares emergency fund, and extended healthcare 
benefits for a transitionary period to support 
impacted employees and their families. We also 
worked closely with our suppliers to maintain strong 
partnerships, and we engaged with and listened to 
our customers, adapting to address and support 
their needs. Many companies within the Reliance 
family also worked alongside customers on mission 
critical projects to aid in the COVID-19 response 
around the country.

As was evident throughout the past year, our 
customers rely on Reliance to continue to support 
them through trying times – often in greater 
capacities and on a more frequent basis. In 2020, 
our average order size was $1,910 and approximately 
40% of our orders were delivered within 24 hours. 
Operating with a decentralized structure allows us 
to concentrate on small orders: the majority of our 
customers purchase smaller quantities on a when-
needed basis and are generally less price sensitive 
than customers that place large volume orders with 
long lead times.

Across the Reliance network of approximately 300 
locations, our managers maintained a disciplined 
approach to pricing and focused on high quality, 
high margin business. Field leadership also 
leveraged opportunities to expand value-added 
processing capabilities in order to meet – and 
in many cases, exceed – our customers’ needs. 

10

EMERGING STRONGEROur value-added processing capabilities have 
increased in recent years – 49% of 2020 orders, 
compared to more historical levels of 40% – because 
of our significant investments in state-of-the-art 
equipment. Value-added processing services also 
help to stabilize our margins in challenging markets 
and were a key factor contributing to our record 
gross profit margin in 2020. 

Concurrent with our response to the coronavirus 
pandemic, Reliance concentrated not only on 
maintaining our secure financial position but 
improving it. We operated from a position of 
strength, reinforced by a strong balance sheet, 
an investment-grade credit rating, and enhanced 
liquidity due to significant cash generation coupled 
with effective working capital management. We 
achieved a Company-wide inventory turn goal of 
4.7x based on tons thanks to our field leadership’s 
focus on right-sizing inventory to reflect current 
demand levels and taking advantage of cross-
selling inventory within our Family of Companies. 
Financing activities in the latter half of the year 
further increased our liquidity and improved our 
debt maturity profile. Currently, ample capital is 
available for borrowing on our $1.5 billion revolving 
credit facility. 

In addition, our highly variable cost structure 
provides financial flexibility, with approximately 
65% of our selling, general, and administrative 

(“SG&A”) expenses being people-related. We 
reported an 11.5% year-over-year decline in same-
store SG&A expenses in 2020, with approximately 
half of the decrease related to a 14% decline in our 
work force compared to the prior year. Difficult 
decisions regarding temporary and permanent 
employee reductions were made on a location-by-
location basis, which provided us flexibility to make 
additional changes as warranted. Thankfully, as 
the economy began to re-open late in the second 
quarter, we were pleased to bring many of our highly 
skilled employees back to work. 

Following a record year in 2019, we generated strong 
cash flow from operations of $1.17 billion in 2020 due 
to our continued profitable operations and effective 
working capital management. This countercyclical 
cash generation and strong financial position, 
enhanced by our 2020 financing activities, allowed us 
to continue supporting our customers and to remain 
flexible and opportunistic in executing our growth 
and stockholder return initiatives. 

In 2020, we invested $172 million in capital 
expenditures that included innovative equipment 
and advanced technology to improve safety in our 
operations, enhance working environments for 
our employees, and fund growth and innovation 
initiatives to better meet our customers’ needs. 
This includes the construction of two on-campus 
tolling operations: one location in Ghent, Kentucky 

11

2020 ANNUAL REPORTopened in Q4 of 2020; another facility in Sinton, 
Texas was announced in October 2020. Our 2021 
capital expenditure budget of $245 million supports 
the continued growth of our value-added processing 
capabilities as well as investments in facility 
upgrades and expansions.

of her experience. Also in January, Arthur Ajemyan 
was promoted to Vice President, Chief Financial 
Officer. Over his 15-year tenure with Reliance, Arthur 
has held key roles in the corporate finance and 
accounting department with increased levels of 
responsibility.  

Although COVID-19 has slowed the pace of M&A 
activity, Reliance continues to see a healthy pipeline 
of potential acquisition candidates, especially as 
we have begun to broaden our view on prospective 
growth opportunities. As always, we evaluate 
opportunities based on a strict set of criteria to 
ensure a strong fit within our Family of Companies.

Our two-fold growth strategy of leveraging capital 
expenditures to drive organic expansion, coupled 
with strategic acquisitions of well-managed metals 
service centers, continues to solidify our position 
as a leading diversified metal solutions provider in 
North America.

Returning value to our stockholders through 
quarterly cash dividends and share repurchases 
remains core to our capital allocation philosophy. 
We have paid regular quarterly cash dividends for 61 
consecutive years and have increased our dividend 
28 times since our 1994 IPO, including our most 
recent increase of 10.0% to $0.6875 per share in 
the first quarter of 2021. In 2020, we repurchased 
$337.3 million of our common stock. These actions 
underscore our commitment to delivering value to 
our stockholders as well as ongoing confidence in our 
business model. We also remain committed to being 
a responsible corporate citizen as demonstrated in 
our Sustainability Mission Statement on page 7.

Because of Reliance’s decentralized structure, 
succession plans are always in motion. 2021 started 
with a number of new leaders throughout our Family 
of Companies. Notable management changes also 
took place at Reliance Corporate. Consistent with 
our strategic executive succession plan, effective 
January 15, 2021, Karla Lewis was promoted to 
President and appointed to our Board of Directors. 
This new role recognizes Karla’s significant 
contributions and will broaden her knowledge of 
Reliance’s field operations and increase the diversity 

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact 
the global economy, we are extremely proud to have 
successfully navigated the challenges that arose. 
Over the past year, we have adapted to operating 
more efficiently without sacrificing our competitive 
edge and the critical elements that make Reliance 
a trusted and reliable business partner. Having 
forged stronger bonds through these trying times, 
we believe that Reliance is emerging even stronger. 
We will maintain our focus on profitable growth 
opportunities to continue to enhance our value-
added processing, further diversify our products, 
end markets, and geographic footprint, and uphold 
our commitments to strong pricing discipline, 
diligent expense control, when-needed inventory 
management, organic growth, and innovation. 
Our strong balance sheet provides us with the 
ability to execute all four of our capital allocation 
strategies – long-term profitable business growth 
as well as returning value to our stockholders 
through continued dividend increases and share 
repurchases. Looking ahead, Reliance will continue 
to execute and improve upon our tried-and-true 
model that has led us to industry-leading results for 
many decades. We thank you, our investors, for your 
continued support of and commitment to Reliance.

(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  2020  includes  various  non-recurring  charges  and  credits,  including  impairment  charges  in  2020, 
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 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2015, which are adjusted for $337.3 million, $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-GAAP  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.
