Reliance Steel & Aluminum
Annual Report 2021

Plain-text annual report

Our 2021annual report tells a story... about a family of companies who PERSEVERED through challenges, forging stronger bonds with suppliers while providing STABILITY for customers in uncertain times. With strong leadership and operational excellence, Reliance met its COMMITMENT to its investors, achieving INDUSTRY LEADING RESULTS once again. DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDERS, 2021 was an extraordinary year for our company. In a period defined by macroeconomic challenges including the continuing pandemic, supply-chain disruptions, and a tightening labor market, Reliance delivered record financial performance across nearly every metric. Our results were driven by the durability and resilience of our proven business model, favorable pricing trends, and exceptional operational execution by all of our colleagues throughout the Reliance Family of Companies. Our sustainable business model is rooted in our continuing dedication to providing diversified metal solutions through superior customer service, when-needed inventory management, strong pricing discipline, effective expense control, growth, innovation, and more, all while maintaining our relentless focus on the health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, their families, our customers, our suppliers, and the communities in which we do business. Reliance’s 2021 results once again demonstrate the effectiveness of our proven business model, which is strategically designed to perform throughout industry cycles. Our diversified model is one of our core pillars: we provide a wide range of metal products and value-added processing services to a broad spectrum of end- markets across a large geographic footprint which mitigates volatility in metals pricing and end-market conditions. In 2021, Reliance’s scale, combined with significant increases in metal pricing and our significant investments in innovative technologies to expand our value-added processing capabilities and growth through acquisition, culminated in our achievement of record and industry leading results including: annual sales of $14.09 billion; gross profit margin of 31.9%; pretax income of $1.88 billion; and earnings per share of $21.97. Our decentralized operating structure is another important element of our business model. While we have the capacity and footprint to participate in large scale projects across multiple geographies, the majority of our customers purchase locally in smaller quantities on a when-needed basis and are generally more service-oriented and less price sensitive. In 2021, our average order size was $3,050 and approximately 40% of our orders were delivered within 24 hours. Our largest customer represented only 1% of our net sales in 2021 and we generated sales greater than $25 million from only 31 customers. Our decentralized operating structure is empowered by the execution of our skilled, knowledgeable, and dedicated teams in the field. We continue to be inspired by our 14,000+ colleagues’ daily commitment to operational excellence and their steadfast focus on moving metal safely. We mirror that commitment by making their health, safety, and wellbeing our highest priority. Reliance’s comprehensive, company-wide SMART Safety program has enhanced the culture of safety throughout our Family of Companies since 2017 and each of our 315 locations continues to practice enhanced health and safety measures developed and implemented in response to COVID-19. We are also committed to supporting the communities in which we operate through numerous activities at the local level.

This is our story, made possible through the outstanding execution and dedication of our PEOPLE. 4 5 RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO. 2021 ANNUAL REPORTRELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO. 2021 ANNUAL REPORTBalanced capital allocation – based on the four tenets of capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and stock repurchases – is another differentiating pillar of the Reliance strategic model. We maintain flexibility to evaluate opportunities to deploy capital with a focus on maximizing returns for our stockholders. Over the past five years, we have returned nearly $2.0 billion, representing just over 50% of our net income in the period, to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. We also allocated approximately $1.8 billion towards growth-related activities, with $1.05 billion allocated towards organic growth and $739 million in acquisitions. These actions underscore our commitment to growth and delivering value to our stockholders as well as ongoing confidence in our business model. Capital Expenditures More than half of our $1.05 billion allocation towards organic growth over the past five years has targeted state-of-the-art processing equipment, along with enhancements to existing equipment, to expand and improve our value-added service offerings. We are realizing returns on our investments in innovative technologies. In 2021, 50% of our orders included value-added processing, surpassing historical levels in the 40% range. Our value-added processing capabilities not only grow our strong gross profit margin but also help stabilize our margins in times of declining prices or demand. In addition, our estimated sustainable gross profit margin range has increased from 27% to 29% in 2017 to our currently estimated sustainable range of 29% to 31% as a direct result of these significant investments, and we are confident in our ability to maintain this higher range on an annual basis because of the significant investments we have made in our business. We will continue to reinvest in the Company with opportunities that promote growth and increase value for our stockholders. In 2021, our capital expenditures totaled $236.6 million, below our then record budget of $310 million due to supply chain disruptions that extended lead times on value-added processing equipment. Our 2022 capital expenditure budget of $350 million represents another record, and we will deploy it to fund continued growth with over 200 new pieces of metals processing equipment and projects to expand and upgrade many of our operating facilities. To promote the long-term sustainability of our business, our 2022 capital expenditure budget also includes investments that improve the safety of our operations and our working environments, as well as targeted investments in renewable energy. Acquisitions Acquisitions remain an important element of our growth strategy. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities using a consistent and stringent set of criteria to ensure both returns on investment and a strong fit with our Family of Companies. We were very pleased to complete four acquisitions in 2021 for a combined transaction value of $439.3 million and combined 2021 annualized sales of approximately $1.0 billion.

We paid $177 million of dividends to our stockholders in 2021. 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 ** Return on Reliance stockholders’ equity is based on the beginning of year equity amount, except for 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, which are adjusted for $323.5 million, $337.3 million, $50.0 million, and $484.9 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 7 RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO. 2021 ANNUAL REPORTRELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO. 2021 ANNUAL REPORTAWARDS Fastmarkets Global Awards for Steel Excellence, Service Center of the Year (Large) – 3rd consecutive win Fortune 500 list since 2007 – 2021 Rank #343 Fortune World’s Most Admired Companies list since 2018 – 2021 Metals Industry Rank #3 Metal Center News Top 50 Service Centers list – 1st for the 14th consecutive year S&P Global Platts 2021 Global Metals Awards, Physical Metals Service Provider of the Year Share Repurchases We repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $153.55 per share, for a total of $323.5 million, in 2021. We had $712.6 million available for repurchase under our stock repurchase plan at the end of 2021. The final core pillar of our business model is maintaining our robust financial position, reinforced by a strong balance sheet, investment-grade credit ratings, and enhanced liquidity supported by strong cash generation and effective working capital management. In 2021, Reliance generated $799.4 million of cash flow from operations due to our continued profitable operations and effective working capital management, which, along with cash on hand, funded our growth-related expenditures and stockholder returns of over $675 million and $500 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, our total liquidity was nearly $1.8 billion, comprised of $300.5 million of cash on hand and full borrowing availability on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, providing us meaningful financial flexibility. Reliance’s record-setting performance in 2021 was driven by our highly resilient business model. Favorable pricing trends coupled with the combination of our rich diversity of products, end markets, and geographies; small order sizes with quick turnarounds; extraordinary execution by our colleagues throughout our decentralized Family of Companies; and the realization of returns on our significant investments in growth, including value-added processing capabilities, collectively contributed to our outstanding financial results. We also converted our record earnings to cash and generated strong cash flow from operations despite making significant investments in working capital due to rising metal prices to fund execution of our dual capital allocation priorities of growth and stockholder returns. Looking ahead, Reliance will continue to execute the proven business model that has led us to industry-leading results for many decades. We will also maintain our focus on continuous improvement to support our customers and suppliers and to advance the health and safety of our colleagues, their families, and the communities in which we live and conduct our businesses. We remain grateful for the confidence you, our investors, have placed in us and we thank you for your ongoing support of and commitment to Reliance. JAMES D. HOFFMAN Chief Executive Officer KARLA R.

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) 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) Includes finance lease obligations.

The calculation of operating income in years 2012 through 2021 includes various non-recurring charges and credits, including impairment charges in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013 and 2012. Additionally, the adoption of accounting rule changes in 2017 affected the presentation of periodic pension cost. 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.
