Radius Recycling Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

Strong Operating Cash Flow of $135 Million in the Fourth Quarter

Radius Board Declares Quarterly Dividend

Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. dba Radius Recycling (NASDAQ: RDUS) today reported results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 ended August 31, 2023.

The Company reported a net loss of $(26) million, or $(23) per ferrous ton, and a loss per share from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of $(0.92), all of which include non-cash goodwill and other asset impairment charges of $45 million, or $1.61 per share. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.47 in the fourth quarter and adjusted EBITDA was $49 million, or $44 per ferrous ton. The Company generated strong operating cash flow of $135 million in the fourth quarter.

Market conditions for recycled metals in the fourth quarter weakened on lower global steel demand. Sequentially, average net selling prices for recycled metals decreased, which, in combination with a further tightening of supply flows over the summer, led to significant metal spread compression, lower sales volumes, and an adverse impact from average inventory accounting. These effects were substantially offset by the recognition of certain insurance recoveries during the quarter.

Commenting on the Company's fourth quarter results, Tamara Lundgren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "While market conditions for recycled metals in the fourth quarter reflected the impact of weaker demand fundamentals, driven by higher interest rates, a slower recovery in China, and destocking in the domestic markets, accompanied by tighter supply flows, our performance benefited from strong operating cash flow and a continued focus on productivity initiatives. The long-term structural demand for recycled metals remains positive, supported by the increased focus on decarbonization, the transition to low-carbon technologies, and the anticipated demand associated with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, including Buy Clean provisions."

"During the quarter, we also unveiled our new corporate identity, Radius Recycling, which better reflects the Company's role as one of North America's largest metal recyclers, our position in the circular economy, and our commitment to advance the recovery, reuse, and recycling of the essential metals required to support global carbon reduction." Ms. Lundgren continued, "Our work and our purpose have never been more relevant than they are today. Radius Recycling is a name that represents our over 3,300 employees and a future in which recycled metals sit at the center of progress, seamlessly connecting all points within the circular economy."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Review and Analysis

Operating performance in the fourth quarter reflected sequentially tighter supply flows for recycled metals, which, together with lower average net selling prices for our products, resulted in a compression of metal spreads. Results for the fourth quarter included an adverse impact from average inventory accounting of approximately $5 per ferrous ton, compared to a benefit of $2 per ferrous ton in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Average net selling prices for ferrous and nonferrous products decreased sequentially by 14% and 7%, respectively, and average net selling prices for finished steel products were lower 7%. Ferrous and nonferrous sales volumes decreased sequentially by 4% and 2%, respectively, while finished steel sales volumes increased 7%.

Fourth quarter performance reflected the full achievement of the $10 million quarterly run rate of productivity initiatives announced in October 2022 and the quarterly run rate of $5 million of SG&A savings initiatives announced in January 2023. The benefits from these initiatives mitigated the impact of lower recycled metal volumes and inflationary pressure on operating costs. In the fourth quarter, the Company recognized insurance recoveries of $41 million, of which $27 million was received in cash, in connection with previously submitted claims related to certain property damage and business interruption matters that had occurred in prior periods.

The fourth quarter had operating cash flow of $135 million, including a benefit from working capital management. Total debt decreased by over $100 million sequentially and was $249 million at the end of the quarter, and debt, net of cash, was $243 million (for a reconciliation of adjusted results and debt, net of cash, to U.S. GAAP, see the table provided in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section). Capital expenditures were $28 million in the quarter, including investments in advanced metal recovery technologies, maintaining the business and environmental-related projects.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was a benefit of approximately 12% on GAAP results and an expense of approximately 32% on adjusted non-GAAP results. During the fourth quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through its 118th consecutive quarterly dividend.

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.1875 per common share, payable November 27, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 13, 2023. The Company has paid a dividend every quarter since going public in November 1993.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains performance based on adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Radius shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton, and adjusted selling, general, and administrative expense which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for goodwill impairment charges, other asset impairment charges, charges for legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, business development costs not related to ongoing operations including pre-acquisition expenses, charges related to non-ordinary course legal settlements, and the income tax benefit allocated to these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. We believe that presenting debt, net of cash is useful to investors as a measure of our leverage, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Income tax allocated to the aggregate adjustments reconciling reported and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Radius shareholders is determined based on a tax provision calculated with and without the adjustments.

(5)

For the quarter and year ended August 31, 2023, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to Radius shareholders reflects the inclusion of an incremental 608 thousand and 652 thousand common stock equivalent shares, respectively, attributable to dilutive share-based compensation awards that were antidilutive for the purpose of calculating the comparable GAAP loss per share measure.
