FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Steel
Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today announced first quarter 2015
financial results. Excluding $17
million, or $0.04 per diluted
share, of call premium and other finance expenses associated with
the March 2015 senior note repayment,
the company's adjusted first quarter 2015 net income was
$40 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on net sales of
$2.0 billion. Including the finance
charges, the company reported first quarter 2015 net income of
$31 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.
Comparatively, prior year first quarter net income was
$39 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on net sales of
$1.8 billion, and sequential fourth
quarter 2014 net sales were $2.5
billion, with adjusted net income of $97 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, which excluded the
impact of non-cash asset impairment and purchase accounting charges
of $0.59 per diluted share.
As mentioned in the company's earnings guidance released on
March 17, 2015, two important
industry developments occurred in the first quarter. First,
domestic steel product pricing declined to levels that are more
globally competitive, which the company believes will result in
reduced steel import levels in the coming months. Despite
continued strong domestic steel consumption, steel product pricing
decreased meaningfully due to delayed customer orders caused by the
volatility in scrap prices and inventory buildup related to the
excessive level of imported steel. Second, ferrous scrap
pricing declined between 25 and 30 percent during February.
Historically iron ore and scrap prices have been highly correlated,
but during 2014 ferrous scrap pricing disconnected from iron ore
pricing and remained relatively high while iron ore prices declined
dramatically. Therefore, a sharp decline in scrap prices at
the beginning of this year was not unexpected, and allows for a
better cost position.
"The first quarter 2015 market environment was extremely
challenging for our steel and metals recycling operations," said
Mark D. Millett, Chief Executive
Officer. "The elevated steel import volume and customer inventory
overhang resulted in significantly lower first quarter 2015 steel
shipments, which was the primary driver of a 44 percent reduction
in our consolidated operating income, when compared to the fourth
quarter 2014 (excluding fourth quarter impairment charges).
Our steel operations experienced margin compression as product
pricing declined and the full benefit of lower mid-quarter scrap
costs were not able to be realized in first quarter 2015 results,
due to our inventory accounting methodology (FIFO) and lower
production rates. However, we should see the benefit of the
lower scrap prices in the second quarter 2015, and we believe scrap
prices will remain lower through the remainder of the year, as
there are no strong drivers to support significant price
appreciation.
"We believe the reduction in both steel and scrap prices,
coupled with continued strength in domestic steel consumption from
the automotive, manufacturing and construction sectors, should
support a stronger domestic steel industry later this year,
predicated upon the expectation of reduced levels of imported
steel, sustainable lower raw material costs and increased orders,
as customer inventory overhang dissipates," continued Millett.
"An important barometer for domestic steel consumption is the
strength of the construction industry. Historically, the
construction industry has been the largest single domestic steel
consuming sector, and it is continuing to strengthen this
year. For the first quarter 2015, our fabrication operations
achieved its second highest quarterly financial result, despite a
seasonal decline in shipments. Strong demand has allowed for
increased product pricing, while order inquiries and bookings
remain robust, confirming the positive trend in the non-residential
construction market."
Additional First Quarter 2015 Comments
Seasonal trends and elevated steel imports negatively impacted
shipments across the company's operating platforms. First
quarter 2015 operating income for the company's steel operations
decreased 46 percent to $114 million,
due primarily to lower shipments, which declined 16 percent
sequentially. Steel metal spread also contracted in the first
quarter 2015 as a function of decreased selling values from
excessive import pressure and hesitant customer buying. The
average product selling price for the company's steel operations
decreased $43 to $763 per ton. The average ferrous scrap
cost per ton melted decreased $34 to
$312 per ton.
First quarter 2015 operating income attributable to the
company's sheet products decreased over 57 percent when compared to
the sequential quarter. The company's flat roll shipments
decreased 20 percent and metal spread contracted meaningfully, as
flat roll products were the most negatively impacted by high import
volumes and existing customer inventory levels. Operating
income from long products decreased 28 percent, as shipments
declined 7 percent. Reduced long product pricing was muted by
an improved product mix. The company's steel production utilization
rate was 73 percent in the first quarter 2015, compared to 84
percent in the sequential quarter.
The company's metals recycling operations recorded a slight
operating loss for the first quarter 2015, based on lower metal
spread caused by rapidly decreasing ferrous and nonferrous prices
that principally occurred in February, as well as reduced shipments
caused by lower domestic steel mill utilization. The company
anticipates both volume and margins to improve in the second
quarter 2015, as steel mill utilization is expected to improve and
scrap price volatility to subside.
The company's fabrication operations continued its strong
performance. Operating income of $21.4
million kept pace with fourth quarter 2014 record levels of
$21.7 million. Higher
average first quarter 2015 selling values, coupled with lower raw
material steel costs, more than offset an 18 percent seasonal
decrease in sequential shipments.
The impact of losses on consolidated net income from the
company's Minnesota operations was
approximately $6 million, or
$0.03 per diluted share.
As discussed on the company's fourth quarter 2014 conference
call, the nugget facility was idled in February to reduce
company-wide iron nugget inventory and install equipment in the
iron concentrate facility in order to reestablish product
yield. As planned, the iron concentrate equipment was
installed and product yield has shown improvement. However,
pig iron pricing has decreased significantly in the past several
weeks, and is currently at levels below the company's expected cash
cost to produce iron nuggets. The company continues to assess
the longevity of this cost / price inversion, and in the meantime
the nugget facility will remain in an idled state. Based on
this assumption, the company believes the financial impact on
second quarter 2015 consolidated results for the Minnesota operations will likely be improved
in comparison to the first quarter 2015.
The company generated strong cash flow from operations of
$235 million during the first quarter
2015. As a testament to confidence in the company's continued
long-term cash flow generation capability, the company's board of
directors approved a 20 percent increase in Steel Dynamics first
quarter 2015 cash dividend, increasing it to $0.1375 per common share. On March 16, 2015, the company also utilized free
cash flow to repay $350 million of
its highest cost debt, reducing its annual interest burden by
$27 million. The company
believes these actions reflect the strength of its capital
structure and liquidity profile, and the continued optimism and
confidence in its future prospects.
Outlook
"As the expected reduction in steel import volume and sustained
lower scrap costs occur, we anticipate improved results in the
second quarter 2015, and throughout the remainder of the year,"
said Millett. "We believe the second quarter 2015 will be
transitional, and the timing of recovery may be later in the
quarter than originally anticipated, as imports have not declined
as quickly as originally anticipated, but we are seeing positive
signs. While we continue to strengthen our financial position
through strong cash flow generation, and execute our long-term
strategy, we are well-positioned to grow. Customer focus,
coupled with our market diversification and low-cost operating
platforms, support our ability to maintain our best-in-class
performance. We believe we are poised to capitalize on meaningful
growth opportunities, both near-term and in the future, that will
benefit our customers, shareholders, employees and communities,"
concluded Millett.

About Steel Dynamics, Inc.
Steel Dynamics, Inc. is one
of the largest domestic steel producers and metals recyclers in
the United States based on
estimated annual steelmaking and metals recycling capability, with
annual sales of $8.8 billion in 2014,
over 7,700 employees, and manufacturing facilities primarily

recycling locations and six steel fabrication plants).
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The
company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management
believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial
measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the
company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative
for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with
GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical
calculations, EBITDA included in this release may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Forward-Looking Statement
This press release contains
some predictive statements about future events, including
statements related to conditions in the steel and metallic scrap
markets, Steel Dynamics' revenues, costs of purchased materials,
future profitability and earnings, and the operation of new or
existing facilities. These statements are intended to be made as
"forward-looking," subject to many risks and uncertainties, within
the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These statements speak only as of this date and
are based upon information and assumptions, which we consider
reasonable as of this date, concerning our businesses and the
environments in which they operate. Such predictive statements are
not guarantees of future performance, and we undertake no duty to
update or revise any such statements. Some factors that could cause
such forward-looking statements to turn out differently than
anticipated include: (1) the effects of uncertain economic
conditions; (2) cyclical and changing industrial demand; (3)
changes in conditions in any of the steel or scrap-consuming
sectors of the economy which affect demand for our products,
including the strength of the non-residential and residential
construction, automotive, appliance, pipe and tube, and other
steel-consuming industries; (4) fluctuations in the cost of key raw
materials (including steel scrap, iron units, and energy costs) and
our ability to pass-on any cost increases; (5) the impact of
domestic and foreign import price competition; (6) unanticipated
difficulties in integrating or starting up new or acquired
businesses; (7) risks and uncertainties involving product and/or
technology development; and (8) occurrences of unexpected plant
outages or equipment failures.
More specifically, we refer you to SDI's more detailed
explanation of these and other factors and risks that may cause
such predictive statements to turn out differently, as set forth in
our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q or in other reports which we from time to
time file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are
available publicly on the SEC website, www.sec.gov, and on the
Steel Dynamics website, www.steeldynamics.com.
