Metallus reported third-quarter 2024 net sales of $227.2 million and a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income of $24.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, a year earlier. The company expects adjusted EBITDA to increase modestly from the third quarter in the fourth quarter of 2024, and it also posted an updated investor presentation that includes third-quarter results.
Net sales fell 36% from $354.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 and 23% from $294.7 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million, compared with $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Ship tons were 119,900, down 32% from the prior-year third quarter, on lower shipments across all end markets.
Cash and cash equivalents were $254.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and total liquidity was $496.8 million.
Metallus reported second-quarter 2024 net sales of $294.7 million and net income of $4.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, down from $356.6 million and $28.9 million a year earlier. The company expects adjusted EBITDA to decline sequentially in the third quarter of 2024 on weaker market demand, which points to continued pressure on shareholder earnings.
Net sales were $294.7 million, down 17 percent from $356.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 and down 8 percent from $321.6 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $19.9 million, compared with $50.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $43.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Third-quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA is expected to decline sequentially, and third-quarter shipments are expected to be lower than the second quarter.
Planned 2024 capital expenditures were reduced to approximately $55 million, a $5 million reduction from previous guidance.
Metallus reported first-quarter 2024 net income of $24.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, up from $14.4 million, or $0.30, a year earlier, on net sales of $321.6 million, roughly flat year over year. The company expects second-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the first quarter's $43.4 million, and its board authorized an additional $100 million share repurchase program on May 6, 2024.
Q1 2024 net income $24.0 million ($0.52 diluted EPS) vs. $14.4 million ($0.30) in Q1 2023; adjusted EPS $0.56 vs. $0.44
Net sales $321.6 million, down 2% from $328.1 million in Q4 2023 and roughly flat vs. $323.5 million in Q1 2023
Second-quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA expected to be lower than Q1's $43.4 million, with surcharge revenue per ton expected to decline
Board authorized an additional $100 million share repurchase on May 6, 2024; $132.1 million remains under authorizations
Metallus reported fourth-quarter 2023 net sales of $328.1 million, up 34% from a year earlier but down 7% from the third quarter, and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with a $33.2 million loss a year earlier. The company expects first-quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA to be slightly lower than the fourth quarter of 2023, so shareholders face a mixed picture of year-over-year gains and a sequential slowdown.
Q4 2023 adjusted net income was $16.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus $24.9 million, or $0.52, in Q3 2023.
Q4 2023 adjusted EBITDA was $35.7 million, down from $46.8 million in Q3 2023; Q4 results included a $20.0 million insurance recovery excluded from adjusted EBITDA.
Full-year 2023 net sales were $1,362.4 million, up 2%, and full-year net income was $69.4 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, versus $65.1 million in 2022.
Company expects 2024 capital expenditures of approximately $60 million and first-quarter cash pension contributions of approximately $25 million.
