Russel Metals Announces Sequentially Stronger Third Quarter 2009 Net Earnings - Zibb.com
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 3, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX) --
Russel Metals Inc. (TSX:RUS) today announced improved third quarter earnings of $13 million or $0.21 per share, an increase from the results reported for the first two quarters of 2009. Excluding inventory write-downs quarterly earnings were $0.24 per share. Net earnings reported in the comparative third quarter of 2008 were $92 million or $1.45 per share.
Year to date net earnings, excluding inventory write-downs and a gain on sale of a property, were $0.44 per share. The inclusion of these items results in a loss of $67 million or $1.12 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The comparable results for 2008 were net earnings of $200 million or $3.16 per share for the nine months. Lower demand and steel pricing has significantly reduced our revenues and operating profits in all three segments compared to 2008.
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $434 million, a decrease of 55% from the third quarter of 2008 revenues of $955 million and a decrease of 6% from $463 million reported in the second quarter of 2009.
Revenues in our metals service centers segment decreased 49% to $259 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. Operating profits for our metals service centers for the third quarter of 2009 were $13 million, compared to $68 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Revenues for our energy tubular products segment dropped 64% to $116 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $325 million for the third quarter of 2008. Low natural gas drilling activity continued into the third quarter of 2009. Operating profits of $7 million for the third quarter of 2009 excludes an inventory write-down of $3 million and compares to operating profits of $60 million for the third quarter of 2008.
Our steel distributors segment produced operating profits of $8 million for the third quarter of 2009 on revenues of $57 million. For the third quarter of 2008 steel distributors reported operating profits of $21 million on revenues of $117 million.
Marion E. Britton, Vice President and CFO, stated "Our service center gross margins per ton in dollars improved and were much closer to historical levels. Earnings before interest and taxes as a percentage of revenues increased to 5% due to more stable pricing during this quarter. Operating and corporate expenses have been reduced by $107 million in the first nine months due to pro-active expense reductions and highly variable compensation plans based on performance."
Brian R. Hedges, President and CEO, stated, "Demand remains a challenge in all three segments but the fact that all three segments were profitable is very encouraging. The issuance of the convertible debentures in October 2009 provides liquidity to grow the balance sheet whether it is additional working capital as demand improves or acquisitions as opportunities arise. We believe many of our competitors will be unable to find sufficient funding to allow them to grow their working capital to support improved levels of business or to make opportunistic acquisitions. We believe that if a liquidity crunch was to occur it would be a catalyst for further consolidation in the service center industry."
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share payable December 15, 2009 to shareholders of record as of November 23, 2009.
The Company will be holding an Investor Conference Call on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. ET to review its third quarter results for 2009. The dial-in telephone numbers for the call are 416-340-8018 (Toronto and International callers) and 1-866-223-7781 (U.S. and Canada).

A replay of the call will be available at 416-695-5800 (Toronto and International callers) and 1-800-408-3053 (U.S. and Canada) until midnight, Wednesday, November 18, 2009. You will be required to enter pass code 7138076 in order to access the call.

The forward-looking statements in this document reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. The material assumptions applied in making the forward-looking statements in this document include the following: demand from the manufacturing, resource and construction segments of the Canadian economy, oil and gas prices and the price of steel have all been significantly negatively impacted by the economic conditions and these conditions will impact these factors for the foreseeable future. The value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will be consistent with what we experienced at the end of the third quarter of 2009. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon what management believes to be reasonable estimates and assumptions, Russel Metals cannot ensure that actual results will not be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Russel Metals Announces Sequentially Stronger Third Quarter 2009 Net Earnings - Zibb.com
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 03, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Russel Metals Inc. (TSX: RUS) today announced improved third quarter earnings of $13 million or $0.21 per share, an increase from the results reported for the first two quarters of 2009. Excluding inventory write-downs quarterly earnings were $0.24 per share. Net earnings reported in the comparative third quarter of 2008 were $92 million or $1.45 per share.
Year to date net earnings, excluding inventory write-downs and a gain on sale of a property, were $0.44 per share. The inclusion of these items results in a loss of $67 million or $1.12 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The comparable results for 2008 were net earnings of $200 million or $3.16 per share for the nine months. Lower demand and steel pricing has significantly reduced our revenues and operating profits in all three segments compared to 2008.
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $434 million, a decrease of 55% from the third quarter of 2008 revenues of $955 million and a decrease of 6% from $463 million reported in the second quarter of 2009.
Revenues in our metals service centers segment decreased 49% to $259 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. Operating profits for our metals service centers for the third quarter of 2009 were $13 million, compared to $68 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Revenues for our energy tubular products segment dropped 64% to $116 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $325 million for the third quarter of 2008. Low natural gas drilling activity continued into the third quarter of 2009. Operating profits of $7 million for the third quarter of 2009 excludes an inventory write-down of $3 million and compares to operating profits of $60 million for the third quarter of 2008.
Our steel distributors segment produced operating profits of $8 million for the third quarter of 2009 on revenues of $57 million. For the third quarter of 2008 steel distributors reported operating profits of $21 million on revenues of $117 million.
Marion E. Britton, Vice President and CFO, stated "Our service center gross margins per ton in dollars improved and were much closer to historical levels. Earnings before interest and taxes as a percentage of revenues increased to 5% due to more stable pricing during this quarter. Operating and corporate expenses have been reduced by $107 million in the first nine months due to pro-active expense reductions and highly variable compensation plans based on performance."
Brian R. Hedges, President and CEO, stated, "Demand remains a challenge in all three segments but the fact that all three segments were profitable is very encouraging. The issuance of the convertible debentures in October 2009 provides liquidity to grow the balance sheet whether it is additional working capital as demand improves or acquisitions as opportunities arise. We believe many of our competitors will be unable to find sufficient funding to allow them to grow their working capital to support improved levels of business or to make opportunistic acquisitions. We believe that if a liquidity crunch was to occur it would be a catalyst for further consolidation in the service center industry."
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share payable December 15, 2009 to shareholders of record as of November 23, 2009.
The Company will be holding an Investor Conference Call on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. ET to review its third quarter results for 2009. The dial-in telephone numbers for the call are 416-340-8018 (Toronto and International callers) and 1-866-223-7781 (U.S. and Canada).

A replay of the call will be available at 416-695-5800 (Toronto and International callers) and 1-800-408-3053 (U.S. and Canada) until midnight, Wednesday, November 18, 2009. You will be required to enter pass code 7138076 in order to access the call.
