These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA and Liquidity and are defined below. Refer to Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios on page 2 of our Management Discussion and Analysis.

EBIT - represents net earnings before interest and income taxes.
EBITDA - represents net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Liquidity - represents cash on hand less bank indebtedness plus excess availability under our bank credit facility.
Cash (for) from working capital - represents the change in non-cash working capital.

Defined in Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios

Our second quarter 2025 results reflected a continuing improvement of revenues, margins and EBITDA, both on a consolidated basis and across most of our business segments. Overall market conditions were generally favourable as we benefited from higher metal prices and margins as well as relatively steady demand.

  • The metal service centers generated near record shipments in the second quarter, notwithstanding some severe weather impacts and the market uncertainty related to the ongoing tariff dynamic.
  • The energy field store segment generated higher revenues, margins and operating profit in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2025, as the segment benefited from improving conditions following a cautious start to 2025.
  • We completed an extension of our bank debt facility and removed the springing lien provision, to further enhance our financial flexibility.
  • We completed the system integrations for the former Samuel branches onto ourERP platform. These conversions should lead to operational improvements in the quarters ahead. We also advanced a series of initiatives in Western Canada aimed at further rationalizing our footprint and streamlining our operations.

Revenues of $1.2 billion in the second and first quarter of 2025 were higher than the $1.1 billion generated in the second quarter of 2024. This improvement reflected higher steel prices and a full quarter from both the Tampa Bay and Samuel acquisitions.

Our average gross margin grew sequentially to 23.3% in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to 21.5% in the first quarter of 2025 due to the improvement in average selling price realizations for our metal service center segment and continued improvement in our energy field stores.

In the second quarter of 2025, we generated $108 million in EBITDA, which was an increase from $86 million in the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. Our earnings per share of $1.07 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was higher than the $0.75 per share reported in the first quarter of 2025 and the $0.84 per share recorded in the second quarter of 2024. Our earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $1.82 compared to $1.66 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our second quarter 2025 results were negatively impacted by an expense of $5 million on the mark-to-market of stock-based compensation compared to a recovery of $8 million in the 2024 second quarter and a $3 million recovery in the 2025 first quarter.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Canadian dollar strengthened from US$0.6956 to US$0.7330. The impact on the translation of our U.S. operations was a reduction in operating income of approximately $2 million and a reduction of shareholders' equity of approximately $55 million.

In the quarter, we generated an annualized return on capital of 20%, which was a sequential increase from the 15% generated in the first quarter of 2025.

During our 2025 second quarter, we generated $105 million of cash from operating activities before non-cash working capital, invested $16 million of capital expenditures to further our internal growth initiatives and returned $47 million of capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Market Conditions

Market prices for our steel and aluminum products were positively impacted by the imposition of tariffs during the early part of 2025. At June 30, 2025, the prices for steel plate and sheet were up 33% and 28%, respectively, as compared to the prices at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the aluminum mid-west price was up 28% compared to the price at December 31, 2024.

Capital Investment Growth Initiatives

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $16 million in capital expenditures and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $45 million in capital expenditures. We have an active pipeline of both facilities modernization and value-added processing projects. Most of the previously announced facilities modernization projects were completed in the 2025 first quarter and additional projects are being further explored.

We are continuing to evaluate additional acquisition opportunities with the focus on expanding our metals service center platform in the U.S.

Returning Capital to Shareholders

We have a flexible approach to returning capital to shareholders through: (i) our ongoing dividend; and (ii) share buybacks.

In the 2025 second quarter, we paid dividends of $24 million or $0.43 per share. We have declared our quarterly dividend of $0.43 per share payable on September 15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 28, 2025.

In the second quarter of 2025, we purchased and cancelled 0.5 million common shares at an average price per share of $42.11 for total consideration of $22 million (excluding the impact of the 2% federal tax on share repurchases). In the period since the August 2022 normal course issuer bid was established, we have purchased approximately 7.7 million common shares, which represents approximately 12% of our then outstanding shares, at an average price per share of $37.61 for total consideration of $288 million. In August 2025, we intend to renew our normal course issuer bid subject to approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, to purchase for cancellation up to approximately 5.5 million of our common shares representing 10% of our public float over a 12-month period.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

On April 29, 2025, we amended and extended our credit facility to remove the springing lien feature, cancel the $150 million sidecar facility that was set to expire in 2026 and extend the maturity of the main facilities to 2029. Our total available liquidity at June 30, 2025, was $566 million.

Outlook

During the late part of the first quarter and early part of the second quarter of 2025, steel prices substantially increased as a result of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. Steel prices have since moderated, and future steel price changes may be impacted by further changes in such tariffs.

Our metal service center margins increased in the early part of the second quarter as they benefited from the lag effect of higher selling price realizations and lower cost inventories. As a result, we are likely to realize some margin moderation in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2025. In addition, our shipment levels are likely to experience a seasonal reduction in activity in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to normal holiday schedules in both Canada and the U.S. Over the medium-term, we expect to benefit from further rebuilding of the U.S. industrial manufacturing base as well as infrastructure related investments. In addition, we are positioned to gain market share through our ongoing investments in value-added equipment, facility modernizations and through acquisitions.

Our energy field stores are expected to continue to benefit from solid energy activity in 2025. Our energy field store segment is also expected to continue to gain market share while maintaining a solid margin profile.
