Management Comments
Eddie Lehner
Our first quarter results reflect a promising start to 2026 with sequential and year-over-year improvement in shipments, margins, and profitability within a notably better industrial market backdrop relative to the past two years while establishing excellent early integration and synergy momentum with Olympic Steel. While the current market environment continues to be characterized by a myriad of riptides and cross-currents, quote and order activity increased meaningfully through the quarter both sequentially and year-over-year, particularly in our transactional book of business. We gained market share on a same-store and combined-company basis while seeing more and more of the benefits from the growth capex investments we have discussed with stakeholders over the past several years. Both Rick and I want to thank our colleagues across our expanded enterprise (RYZ) for their focus, collaboration, and commitment during the quarter and throughout this integration process as we build on our momentum and achievements thus far to deliver greater value and experiences to our customers and shareholders.
Rick Marabito
In this environment, we executed well in support of service center fundamentals with disciplined pricing and inventory management strategies to support margin expansion, a lean cash conversion cycle, and Adjusted EBITDA, excl. LIFO attainment above our guidance range. And, importantly, with only six weeks together before the end of the quarter, we made meaningful progress on the integration of Olympic Steel and are encouraged by the early traction in capturing synergies, advancing commercial alignment, and leveraging our combined scale to better serve our customers.”
