Overview



We generated record quarterly financial performance in the second quarter of
2022 for the sixth consecutive quarter as a result of continued elevated metals
pricing and outstanding operational execution of our strategies under our
business model, which continues to prove resilient amidst challenging
macroeconomic circumstances bolstered by our diverse array of products, end
markets and geographies, as well as consistent support from our domestic
suppliers and deep-rooted relationships with our customers.

Certain key results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 included the following:

Record quarterly net sales of $4.68 billion were up 36.9% from the second

? quarter of 2021. Net sales of $9.17 billion in the six months ended June 30,

2022 were up 46.5% from the same period in 2021.

? Record quarterly average selling price per ton sold of $3,240.

Our gross profit in the second quarter (also a quarterly record) and six months

ended June 30, 2022 increased 38.2% and 41.6%, respectively, from the same

periods in 2021 due to record metals pricing that offset the impact of lower

? gross margins in the 2022 periods. Our gross profit margin for the six months

ended June 30, 2022 declined 110 basis points from the same period in 2021,

mainly due to a record gross profit margin of 33.6% in the first quarter of

2021, which benefited from rapid and significant increases in metals prices and

limited metal supply.

Record quarterly earnings per share of $9.15 were up 80.1% from the second

? quarter of 2021. Earnings per share of $17.49 in the six months ended June 30,

2022 were up 90.1% from the same period in 2021.

? $193.9 million of share repurchases in the second quarter of 2022 compared to

$24.0 million in the second quarter of 2021.




Our record quarterly net sales in the second quarter of 2022 were the result of
a record quarterly average selling price per ton sold that increased 34.0%
compared to the second quarter of 2021 and a 2.2% increase in tons sold. Our net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were the result of a 44.7% increase
in our average selling price per ton sold and a 1.4% increase in tons sold.

We experienced ongoing healthy demand across all of our end markets. However,
our tons sold and tons toll processed continue to be limited by macroeconomic
challenges including inflation, recessionary concerns and labor and
supply-related pressures.  Despite our sequential record financial performance
since the first quarter of 2021, our tons sold in the second quarter of 2022
remained below pre-pandemic levels in 2019.

Our record profitability in the second quarter of 2022 was driven by record
metals prices, ongoing strength in demand for most of the products we sell
across most of the end markets we serve, a strong gross profit margin and
careful expense control. Our gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2022
of 31.9% increased 20 basis points from the second quarter of 2021. Our
same-store SG&A expense in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022
increased $64.8 million, or 11.5%, and $134.9 million, or 12.5%, from the same
periods in 2021. Our SG&A expense levels continue to increase from inflationary
impacts for wages, fuel, freight and packaging costs and to a lesser extent
higher incentive-based compensation attributable to our sequential gross profit
and pretax income record results. Despite increases in our SG&A expense, record
metals pricing decreased our SG&A expense as a percentage of sales and resulted
in record operating income and pretax income margins.

Our cash flow from operations of $674.2 million in the six months ended June 30,
2022 increased $410.8 million compared to the same period in 2021, relatively
in-line with the increase in net income of $500.1 million over the same period,
demonstrating the high cash flow conversion present in our business.

We believe our strong liquidity position that includes significant cash on hand,
strong cash flow generation and $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with no
borrowings outstanding will support our continued prudent use of capital as we
maintain a flexible approach focused on growth, both organically and through
acquisitions, and stockholder return activities.

We believe our industry-leading results are due to our unique business model and
the strong execution of our strategies. We believe our business model
characteristics, including broad end market exposure, a wide geographical
footprint, diverse product offerings, significant value-added processing
capabilities, strong relationships with suppliers, and focus on small order
sizes and when-needed delivery differentiate us from our industry peers. We
believe these unique business model characteristics and strong operational
execution of our strategies that include pricing discipline, concentrating on
higher margin business and cross selling inventory within our operating
locations enabled us to persevere during the pandemic in 2020 and were the
cornerstone of our record quarterly financial results in each of the past six
quarters.

2021 Acquisitions

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we acquired each of Merfish United, Inc., Admiral
Metals Servicenter Company, Incorporated, Nu-Tech Precision Metals Inc. and
Rotax Metals Inc. with cash on hand. Included in our net sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 were combined net sales of $473.7 million from our
2021 acquisitions.

(1) Cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $8.1 million of

non-recurring amortization of inventory step-up to fair value adjustments for

our 2021 acquisitions.

(2) Gross profit, calculated as net sales less cost of sales, and gross profit

margin, calculated as gross profit divided by net sales, are non-GAAP

financial measures as they exclude depreciation and amortization expenses

associated with the corresponding sales. 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, is not significant and is excluded from our cost of sales.

Therefore, our cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the

material we sell. We use gross profit and gross profit margin as shown above

as measures of operating performance. Gross profit and gross profit margin

are important operating and financial measures, as their fluctuations can

have a significant impact on our earnings. Gross profit and gross profit

margin, as presented, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled


    measures for other companies.

Our tons sold and average selling price per ton sold exclude our tons toll processed. Our average selling price per ton sold includes intercompany transactions that are eliminated from our consolidated net sales. Same-store amounts exclude the results of our 2021 acquisitions.


Our net sales in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 were the
highest in our history due to record average selling prices per ton sold and
modest increases in tons sold compared to the same periods in 2021. Our record
sales in the 2022 periods were supported by ongoing healthy demand in most of
the end markets we serve and elevated pricing during the second quarter of 2022.

Since we primarily purchase and sell our inventories in the spot market, the
changes in our average selling prices generally fluctuate in accordance with the
changes in the costs of the various metals we purchase. Our same-store average
selling prices per ton sold in the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2022 were significantly higher than the comparable 2021 periods mainly due to
significant mill price increases for our major product categories.

The mix of products sold can also have an impact on our average selling prices.
As carbon steel sales represented approximately 54% and 55% of our gross sales
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, changes
in carbon steel prices have the most significant impact on changes in our
overall average selling price per ton sold.

The increases in cost of sales in the second quarter and six months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 were mainly due to higher average
costs per ton sold and to a lesser extent, increases in tons sold. See "Net
Sales" above for trends in both demand and costs of our products.

Cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $8.1 million of
non-recurring amortization of inventory step-up to fair value adjustments for
our 2021 acquisitions.

In addition, adjustments to our LIFO method inventory valuation reserve, which
are included in cost of sales and, in effect, reflects cost of sales at current
replacement costs, resulted in expenses of $12.5 million and $200.0 million in
the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and expenses of $50.0
million and $300.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the LIFO method inventory valuation reserve
on our balance sheet was $870.4 million.

We generated record gross profit in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 mainly as a result of record average selling prices per ton sold, strong gross profit margins and increases in tons sold compared to the same periods in 2021.



Gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was reduced by $8.1 million
of non-recurring amortization of inventory step-up to fair value adjustments
related to our 2021 acquisitions.

Our gross profit margin in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 was strong and
supported by ongoing healthy demand for the majority of the products we sell.
The decline in our gross profit margin in the six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021 was mainly due to the 2021 six-month period
benefiting from rapid and significant increases in metal prices and limited

metal supply.

Our same-store SG&A expense increases in the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2022 were mainly due to higher variable expenses associated with
inflationary impacts for wages, fuel, freight and packaging costs and to a
lesser extent higher incentive-based compensation attributable to our record
gross profit and pretax income. The decreases in our SG&A expense as a
percentage of sales in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same periods in 2021 were mainly due to our record net sales.

The increases in our operating income in the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 were due to record gross
profit, as a result of record average selling prices per ton sold, fundamentally
strong demand and strong gross profit margins, that were partially offset by
inflationary increases in certain SG&A expenses and higher incentive
compensation. The increases in our operating margins in the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2022 were mainly due to our significantly higher sales
that decreased our SG&A expense as a percentage of sales, despite increases

in
our SG&A expense.

Income Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rate for each of the second quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2022 was 24.7%, compared to 25.6% and 25.5% in the same 2021
periods, respectively. The differences between our effective income tax rates
and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state income
taxes, partially offset by the effects of Company-owned life insurance policies.

The increases in our net income and net income margin in the second quarter and

due to record operating income and operating income margins as a result of
record gross profit and strong gross profit margins, partially offset by higher
SG&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities



Net cash provided by operations of $674.2 million in the six months ended June
30, 2022 increased $410.8 million, or 156.0%, from $263.4 million in the same
period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the $500.1 million, or 83.6%,
increase in net income that required moderate additional working capital
investment in the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same
period in 2021, mainly due to significantly higher metals pricing and to a
lesser extent, the increase in tons sold. To manage our working capital, we
focus on our days sales outstanding and on our inventory turnover rate as
receivables and inventory are the two most significant elements of our working
capital. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, our days sales outstanding rate was 39.2
days and 39.8 days, respectively. Our inventory turnover rate (based on tons)
during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 4.4 times (or 2.7 months on hand),
compared to 5.2 times (or 2.3 months on hand) in the same period in 2021.

Income taxes paid were $427.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to $181.3 million in the same period in 2021. The significant increase
in our tax payments was mainly due to higher estimated tax payments in the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, relating to our
significantly higher pretax income, and to a lesser extent income tax extension
payments for the 2021 tax year made in the 2022 six-month period without similar
income tax extension payments in the same period in 2021.

Investing Activities


Net cash used in investing activities was $149.4 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to $98.6 million in the same period in 2021 and was
substantially comprised of our capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds
from sales of property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures were $154.2
million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $123.8 million in the
same period in 2021. The majority of our capital expenditures in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were related to growth initiatives. Proceeds from
sales of property, plant and equipment were $9.2 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to $26.1 million in the same period in 2021. Our proceeds
from sales of property, plant and equipment included $7.4 million of proceeds
and $2.0 million of gains from sales of non-core assets in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to $24.4 million of proceeds and $3.3 million of gains
from similar sales in the same period in 2021.

Financing Activities



Net cash used in financing activities of $316.5 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 increased from $122.4 million net cash used in the same period in
2021, mainly due to increased share repurchases. In the six months ended June
30, 2022, we spent $211.0 million to repurchase shares of our common stock
compared to $24.0 million spent in the same

                                       21

period in 2021. Our other stockholder return activities included an increase in
our quarterly dividend with total dividend payments of $110.6 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $88.6 million in the same period in 2021.

On July 26, 2022, our Board of Directors declared the 2022 third quarter cash
dividend of $0.875 per share. We have increased our quarterly dividend 29 times
since our IPO in 1994, with the most recent increase of 27.3% from $0.6875 per
share to $0.875 per share effective in the first quarter of 2022. We have paid
quarterly cash dividends on our common stock for 63 consecutive years and have
never reduced or suspended our regular quarterly dividend.

Our share repurchase activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
was as follows:

The $1.0 billion share repurchase program that was authorized by our Board of
Directors on July 20, 2021 and had remaining authorization to repurchase $401.6
million of our common stock as of July 25, 2022 following our repurchase of
581,648 shares at an average cost of $171.94 per share, for a total of $100.0
million, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2022 was increased again
on July 26, 2022 to $1.0 billion. The share repurchase program does not obligate
us to repurchase any specific number of shares, does not have a specific
expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We may
repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions and transactions structured through investment banking institutions
under plans relying on Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares
are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

Since 2017, we have repurchased approximately 14.6 million shares at an average
cost of $105.22 per share, for a total of $1.53 billion. We expect to continue
to be opportunistic in our approach to repurchasing shares of our common stock.

Liquidity


We believe our primary sources of liquidity, including funds generated from
operations, cash and cash equivalents and our $1.5 billion revolving credit
facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and stockholder
return activities over the next 12 months and beyond. Our total outstanding debt
as of June 30, 2022 was $1.66 billion, which was consistent with December 31,
2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings on the revolving
credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, we had $504.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents and our net debt-to-total capital ratio (net debt-to-total capital
is calculated as carrying amount of debt, net of cash, divided by total Reliance
stockholders' equity plus total debt, net of cash) was 14.3%, down from 18.1% as
of December 31, 2021.

On September 3, 2020, we entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") that amended and restated our
then-existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and includes a
$150.0 million letter of credit sublimit. As of June 30, 2022, borrowings under
the Credit Agreement were available at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.00%
or the bank prime rate and we currently pay a commitment fee at an annual rate
of 0.175% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable
margins over LIBOR and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are
subject to adjustment every quarter based on our total net leverage ratio, as
defined in the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement may
be prepaid without penalty. Our Credit Agreement includes provisions to change
the reference rate to the then-prevailing market convention for similar
agreements if a replacement rate for LIBOR is necessary during its term.

A revolving credit facility with a combined credit limit of $8.1 million is in
place for an operation in Asia with an outstanding balance of $3.7 million and
$4.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022, we increased our 2022 capital expenditure budget, including unspent amounts from prior years, to $455 million from $350 million. Our actual capital expenditure spending over the next 12 months is ultimately dependent on market conditions, lead times and availability of property, plant and equipment when the capital project is initiated.

Capital Resources



On November 20, 2006, we entered into an indenture (the "2006 Indenture") for
the issuance of $600.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance
was comprised of (a) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, which matured
and were repaid on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250.0 million aggregate principal
amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per
annum, maturing on November 15, 2036.

On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the "2013 Indenture") for the
issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes
at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023.

On August 3, 2020, we entered into an indenture (the "2020 Indenture" and,
together with the 2013 Indenture and 2006 Indenture, the "Indentures") for the
issuance of $900.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance was
comprised of (a) $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes bearing interest at the rate of 1.30% per annum, maturing on August 15,
2025 and (b) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes
bearing interest at the rate of 2.15% per annum, maturing on August 15, 2030.

Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank
equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations. If we experience a change in control accompanied by
a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to
repurchase each series of the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Various industrial revenue bonds had combined outstanding balances of $7.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and have maturities through 2027.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $910.4 million of debt obligations coming due before our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility expires on September 3, 2025.



We believe that we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to fund our future
operating needs and to repay our debt obligations as they become due, including
$500.0 million of senior notes that mature in April 2023. In addition to funds
generated from operations and nearly $1.5 billion available under our revolving
credit facility, we expect to continue to be able to access the capital markets
to raise funds, if desired. We believe our sources of liquidity will continue to
be adequate to maintain operations, make necessary capital expenditures, finance
strategic growth through acquisitions and internal initiatives, pay dividends
and opportunistically repurchase shares of our common stock. Additionally, we
believe our investment grade credit ratings enhance our ability to effectively
raise capital, if needed. We expect to continue our acquisition and internal
growth and stockholder return activities and anticipate that we will be able to
fund such activities as they arise.

Covenants


The Credit Agreement and the Indentures include customary representations,
warranties, covenants and events of default provisions. The covenants under the
Credit Agreement include, among other things, two financial maintenance
covenants that require us to comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a
maximum leverage ratio.

We were in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants in our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2022.

Seasonality

Some of our customers are in seasonal businesses, especially customers in the
construction industry and related businesses. However, our overall operations
have not shown any material seasonal trends as a result of our geographic,
product and customer diversity. Typically, revenues in the months of July,
November and December have been lower than in other months because of a reduced
number of working days for shipments of our products, resulting from holidays
observed by the Company as well as vacation and extended holiday closures at
some of our customers. The number of shipping days in each quarter also has an
impact on our quarterly sales and profitability. Particularly in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot predict whether period-to-period fluctuations will
be consistent with historical patterns. Results of any one or more quarters are
therefore not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired, amounted to $2.11 billion at June 30, 2022, or approximately 20% of
total assets and 31% of total equity. Additionally, other intangible assets, net
amounted to $1.05 billion at June 30, 2022, or approximately 10% of total assets
and 15% of total equity. Goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests
and further evaluation when certain events occur. Other intangible assets with
finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. We review the
recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable.

Critical Accounting Estimates


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When we prepare these consolidated
financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some
of our accounting policies require that we make subjective judgments, including
estimates that involve matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical
accounting estimates include those related to goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic increase uncertainty, which has reduced our ability to use
past results to estimate future performance. Accordingly, our estimates and
judgments may be subject to greater volatility than in the past.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to our
critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates
disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
