NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation with respect to the interim financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.’s (“We”, “Reliance” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of majority-owned subsidiaries. The ownership of the other interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are recorded under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) related to the calculation of the carrying amount of a reporting unit when performing the first step of a goodwill impairment test. More specifically, the changes require an entity to use an equity premise when performing the first step of a goodwill impairment test. If a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount, the entity must assess and consider qualitative factors and whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards — Not Yet Adopted

In September 2011, the FASB amended its guidance regarding the disclosure requirements for employers participating in multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans (“multiemployer plans”) to improve transparency and increase awareness of the commitments and risks involved with participation in multiemployer plans. The new accounting guidance requires employers participating in multiemployer plans to provide additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures to provide users with more detailed information regarding an employer’s involvement in multiemployer plans. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual reporting periods beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. This guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance, which requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2012 and will be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating how it will report comprehensive income, but either method permitted will constitute a change in the Company’s financial statement presentation.

In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance to provide a consistent definition of fair value and to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2012 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance, but currently believes there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

2011 Acquisition

Effective August 1, 2011, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (“Continental”), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from our revolving credit facility. Continental is a leading global materials management company focused on high-end steel and alloy pipe, tube and bar products and precision manufacturing of various tools designed for well completion programs of global energy service companies and has 12 locations in seven countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, U.A.E. and Mexico. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of $88.4 million for the two months ended September 30, 2011.

The allocation of the total preliminary purchase price of Continental to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in millions):

Cash |  | $ | 22.8 |
Accounts receivable |  | 55.7 |
Inventories |  | 126.7 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 30.5 |
Goodwill |  | 126.3 |
Intangible assets subject to amortization |  | 95.9 |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | 84.3 |
Other current and long-term assets |  | 1.8 |

2010 Acquisitions

On December 1, 2010, through our subsidiary American Metals Corporation, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Lampros Steel, Inc. (“LSI”) and a related interest in Lampros Steel Plate Distribution, LLC (“LSPD”). LSI specializes in structural steel shapes with a facility located in Portland, Oregon. LSPD owned a 50% interest in an unconsolidated partnership, LSI Plate, that is a distributor of carbon steel plate with locations in California and Oregon. Effective March 2011, the business conducted by LSI Plate was moved to LSI in order to achieve certain operational efficiencies. Net sales of LSI during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $29.9 million.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On October 1, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Diamond Consolidated Industries, Inc. and affiliated companies (“Diamond”), which now operate under the corporate name Diamond Manufacturing Company. The operating divisions consist of Diamond Manufacturing Company located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania and Diamond Manufacturing Midwest in Michigan City, Indiana, both of which specialize in the manufacture and sale of specialty engineered perforated materials; Perforated Metals Plus, a distributor of perforated metals located in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Dependable Punch, a manufacturer of custom punches for tools and dies also located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania. This acquisition expanded our product and processing offerings with the addition of perforated metals. An operating division of Diamond was opened near Dallas, Texas in early 2011 to expand Diamond’s geographic reach. Net sales of Diamond during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $77.2 million.

Purchase price allocations

The acquisitions discussed in this note have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the respective purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of each acquisition. The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the revenues and expenses of each acquisition since its respective acquisition date. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the allocation of each acquisition’s purchase price as of September 30, 2011, as applicable. The purchase price allocation for the Continental acquisition is preliminary and is pending the completion of certain purchase price adjustments based on audited closing balance sheet amounts, tangible and intangible asset valuations and various pre- and post-acquisition period tax returns.

4. Goodwill

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows (in millions):

Balance as of December 31, 2010 |  | $ | 1,109.6 |
Acquisition |  | 126.3 |
Purchase price allocation adjustments |  | 0.2 |
Effect of foreign currency translation |  | (4.5 | )
Balance as of September 30, 2011 |  | $ | 1,231.6 |

The Company had no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill as of September 30, 2011.

RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible assets recorded in connection with the Continental acquisition were $180.2 million (see Note 3). A total of $84.3 million was allocated to the trade names acquired, none of which is subject to amortization. Additionally, the Company recorded other identifiable assets related to customer relationships and covenants not to compete of $95.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, with weighted average lives of 10 years and 5 years, respectively. The Company also recorded $7.3 million of intangible assets in connection with the amendment of its syndicated credit agreement (see Note 7). The Company recognized amortization expense for intangible assets of $25.9 million and $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Other changes in intangible assets, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are due to foreign currency translation losses of $7.6 million.

The following is a summary of estimated aggregated amortization expense for the remaining three months of 2011 and each of the succeeding five years (in millions):

2011 |  | $ | 9.9 |
2012 |  | 39.5 |
2013 |  | 39.4 |
2014 |  | 37.4 |
2015 |  | 35.8 |
2016 |  | 34.2 |

6. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 32.2% and 33.4%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to favorable state law changes to apportionment weights, statute expirations and settlements for uncertain tax positions, and the Continental acquisition, which caused a shift in our state apportionment rates that lowered our state income tax rates as well as increased our foreign income levels that are taxed at lower rates.

7. Debt

Debt consists of the following:

|  | September 30, |  | December 31, |
|  | 2011 |  | 2010 |
|  | (in millions) |

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On July 26, 2011, the Company amended and restated the existing syndicated credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, and to extend the maturity date of the credit facility for a five-year term to July 26, 2016. The amended and restated revolving credit facility has 26 banks as lenders. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.50% or the bank prime rate plus 0.50% as of September 30, 2011. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of September 30, 2011.

Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 1.74% and 3.54% as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $41.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $208.7 million of letters of credit.

Revolving Credit Facilities — Foreign Operations

Various other separate revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $24.0 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $13.7 million and $11.8 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes — Private Placements

The Company has $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt as of September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, the outstanding senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% and have a remaining life of 1.8 years, maturing in July 2013.

Senior Unsecured Notes — Publicly Traded

On November 20, 2006, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Reliance and rank equally with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Reliance. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that, in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of the Company’s credit rating, require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

Covenants

The amended and restated revolving credit facility and the senior unsecured note agreements collectively require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and include a change of control provision, among other things. The Company’s interest coverage ratio for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 8.8 times compared to the debt covenant minimum requirement of 3.0 times (interest coverage ratio is calculated as net income attributable to Reliance plus interest expense and provision for income taxes and plus or minus any non-operating non-recurring loss or gain, respectively, divided by interest expense). The Company’s leverage ratio as of September 30, 2011 calculated in accordance with the terms of the revolving credit facility was 33.0% compared to the financial covenant maximum amount of 60% (leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of capital lease obligations and outstanding letters of credit, divided by Reliance shareholders’ equity plus total debt). The minimum net worth requirement as of September 30, 2011 was $999.2 million compared to Reliance shareholders’ equity balance of $3.08 billion as of September 30, 2011.

Additionally, all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Indenture and the private placement notes. The subsidiary guarantors, together with Reliance, are required collectively to account for at least 80% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 86% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 89% of total consolidated tangible assets as of September 30, 2011.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2011.

8. Equity

Common Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 225,746 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options for total proceeds of approximately $9.6 million.

Share Based Compensation

On August 8, 2011, the Company granted 86,000 shares of restricted stock to certain officers of the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders in May 2006. The awards include dividend rights and vest 20% on each anniversary date through 2016. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was $37.29 per share, determined based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

On May 18, 2011, pursuant to the May 2011 Directors Equity Plan, which has been approved by the shareholders, 16,079 shares of restricted stock were automatically granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The awards include dividend rights and vest immediately upon grant. The recipients are restricted from trading the restricted stock for one year from date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was $52.24 per share, determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

On February 23, 2011, pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted 1,037,250 options to acquire its common stock to key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value as of the date of the grant. The stock options vest ratably over a period of four years and expire seven years after the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted of $26.98 per share was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Expected life — 4.8 years; Expected volatility — 60.2%; Dividend yield — 0.9%; Risk-free interest rate — 2.2%; Exercise price - $55.73.

Share Repurchase Program

Under the Company’s current stock repurchase program 7,883,033 shares of common stock remain authorized for repurchase as of September 30, 2011. No shares were repurchased in 2011 or 2010. Repurchased shares are redeemed and treated as authorized but unissued shares.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is currently involved with certain environmental remediation projects related to activities at former manufacturing operations of Earle M. Jorgensen Company (“EMJ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that were sold many years prior to the Company’s acquisition of EMJ in 2006. Although the potential cleanup costs could be significant, EMJ had insurance policies in place at the time they owned the manufacturing operations that are expected to cover the majority of the related costs. The Company does not expect that these obligations will have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements relating to future financial results. Actual results may differ materially as a result of factors over which Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. has no control. These risk factors and additional information are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

2011 Acquisition

Effective August 1, 2011, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (“Continental”), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from our revolving credit facility. Continental is a leading global materials management company focused on high-end steel and alloy pipe, tube and bar products and precision manufacturing of various tools designed for well completion programs of global energy service companies and has 12 locations in seven countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, U.A.E. and Mexico. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of $88.4 million for the two months ended September 30, 2011.

2010 Acquisitions

On December 1, 2010, through our subsidiary American Metals Corporation, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Lampros Steel, Inc. (“LSI”) and a related interest in Lampros Steel Plate Distribution, LLC (“LSPD”). LSI specializes in structural steel shapes with a facility located in Portland, Oregon. LSPD owned a 50% interest in an unconsolidated partnership, LSI Plate, that is a distributor of carbon steel plate with locations in California and Oregon. Effective March 2011, the business conducted by LSI Plate was moved to LSI in order to achieve certain operational efficiencies. Net sales of LSI during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $29.9 million.

On October 1, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Diamond Consolidated Industries, Inc. and affiliated companies (“Diamond”), which now operate under the corporate name Diamond Manufacturing Company. The operating divisions consist of Diamond Manufacturing Company located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania and Diamond Manufacturing Midwest in Michigan City, Indiana, both of which specialize in the manufacture and sale of specialty engineered perforated materials; Perforated Metals Plus, a distributor of perforated metals located in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Dependable Punch, a manufacturer of custom punches for tools and dies also located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania. This acquisition expanded our product and processing offerings with the addition of perforated metals. An operating division of Diamond was opened near Dallas, Texas in early 2011 to expand Diamond’s geographic reach. Net sales of Diamond during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $77.2 million.

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

(1) 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 expense associated with the corresponding sales. The majority 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, are not significant and are excluded from our Cost of sales. Therefore, our Cost of sales is primarily comprised of the cost of the material we sell. The Company uses 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 fluctuations in our Gross profit and Gross profit margin 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.

Tons sold and average selling price per ton sold amounts exclude our toll processing sales. Same-store amounts exclude the results of our 2011 and 2010 acquisitions.

We have continued to see steady improvement in our tons sold in 2011. In September 2011, we had our highest monthly tons shipped per day since November 2008, including on a same-store basis. In general, business activity in most all of our markets is better in 2011 than in the same periods in 2010. In 2011, our strongest markets have been

energy, oil and gas, aerospace, farm and heavy equipment, mining, general manufacturing and semiconductor and electronics. Non-residential construction, our largest end market, continues to be our weakest, however, we have seen some improvements in demand so far in 2011 for certain non-residential construction related products in certain areas around the country.

As a result of increased mill prices, most of the products we sell had higher average selling prices during the 2011 periods compared to the same periods in 2010. Our major commodity selling prices increased during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010 as follows: carbon steel up 18.0%; aluminum up 8.1%; stainless steel up 10.9%; and alloy up 14.8%. Our selling prices for the 2011 nine-month period trended similarly compared to the same period in 2010: carbon steel up 19.4%; aluminum up 7.0%; stainless up 15.0%; and alloy up 12.8%. The 2011 mill price increases over 2010 levels have primarily been due to rises in scrap and other input costs at the mills.

Cost of Sales

|  | September 30, |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  |  |  |  |
|  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | Dollar Change |  | Percentage Change |
Cost of sales (three months ended) |  | $ | 1,644.7 |  | 76.9 | % | $ | 1,257.6 |  | 76.0 | % | $ | 387.1 |  | 30.8 | %
Cost of sales (nine months ended) |  | $ | 4,589.8 |  | 75.2 | % | $ | 3,537.4 |  | 74.8 | % | $ | 1,052.4 |  | 29.8 | %

The increases in cost of sales in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 are due to increases in tons sold as well as increased costs for most products we sell from the same period in 2010 (see “Net Sales” above for trends in both demand and costs of our products).

Our LIFO reserve adjustment, which is included in our cost of sales and, in effect, reflects cost of sales at current replacement costs, resulted in a charge, or expense, of $22.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to a charge, or expense, of $9.8 million in the same period in 2010. Our LIFO reserve adjustment in the 2011 nine-month period resulted in a charge, or expense, of $67.5 million compared to a charge, or expense, of $24.8 million in the 2010 nine-month period.

We currently estimate our full year 2011 LIFO adjustment to be a charge, or expense, of $90.0 million as we expect that both our quantities and our average cost of inventory at December 31, 2011 will be higher than at December 31, 2010.

Gross Profit

|  | September 30, |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  |  |  |  |
|  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | Dollar Change |  | Percentage Change |
Gross profit (three months ended) |  | $ | 493.9 |  | 23.1 | % | $ | 396.2 |  | 24.0 | % | $ | 97.7 |  | 24.7 | %
Gross profit (nine months ended) |  | $ | 1,511.0 |  | 24.8 | % | $ | 1,191.1 |  | 25.2 | % | $ | 319.9 |  | 26.9 | %

Our three-month period ended September 30, 2011 gross profit margin decreased compared to the same period in 2010 due to mills announcing price decreases for many of our products during this period. This type of pricing environment puts negative pressure on our gross profit margins as we may have to lower our selling prices prior to receiving the lower cost inventory on hand. See also “Cost of Sales” above for discussion of our LIFO reserve adjustments.

Our gross profit margin decline in the 2011 nine-month period was less than the gross profit margin decline in the 2011 three-month period because mill prices were steadily increasing during the first five months of 2011 for most of our products, which allowed us to expand our gross profit margins during that time. In a period of increasing prices, we are typically able to increase our selling price before we receive the higher cost inventory.

Depreciation & amortization expenses (nine months ended) |  | $ | 98.7 |  | 1.6 | % | $ | 88.9 |  | 1.9 | % | $ | 9.8 |  | 11.0 | %

Our 2011 three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative (“S,G&A”) expenses as a percent of net sales decreased because of our higher sales volumes and pricing on a relatively consistent cost structure, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The additional expenses of our 2011 and 2010 acquisitions, increases in variable compensation expenses due to both increased volume and profits, and increases in certain warehouse and delivery expenses that resulted from improved demand and increased fuel costs accounted for most of the increase in S,G&A expenses during the 2011 three- and nine-month periods compared to the same periods in 2010.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to our 2011 and 2010 acquisitions and depreciation expense from our recent capital expenditures.

The higher gross profit dollars generated on higher sales offset by only moderate increases in S,G&A expenses significantly improved our operating income in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011.

Income Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rate in the 2011 nine-month period was 32.2% compared to our 2010 nine-month rate of 33.4%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to favorable state law changes to apportionment weights, statute expirations and settlements for uncertain tax positions, and the Continental acquisition, which caused a shift in our state apportionment rates that lowered our state income tax rates as well as increased our foreign income levels that are taxed at lower rates.

Our annualized effective income tax rate as of September 30, 2011 of 32.2% was down from our June 30, 2011 annualized rate estimate of 34.2%, which resulted in a quarterly effective rate of 27.2% as compared to our 2010 third quarter rate of 32.9%. The rate decrease was mainly attributable to the Continental acquisition and statute expirations and settlements of various uncertain tax positions.

|  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  |  |  |  |
|  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | $ |  | % of Net Sales |  | Dollar Change |  | Percentage Change |

The increase in net income attributable to Reliance in the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a more favorable demand and pricing environment for our products, which has allowed us to generate increased gross profit dollars with relatively lower increases in our operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a result of increased demand levels and higher mill prices from December 31, 2010, our working capital, primarily accounts receivable and inventories, has increased somewhat. However, we were able to fund these increases with our profitable business activities. Our receivables and FIFO inventories increased by $270.7 million and $362.1 million, respectively, from December 31, 2010 levels, offset with increases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $143.6 million.

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 September 30, 2011 our days sales outstanding rate was approximately 41.3 days compared to 41.6 days at December 31, 2010. (We calculate our days sales outstanding as an average of the most recent two-month period.) Our inventory turn rate (based on dollars) during the 2011 nine-month period was about 4.5 times (or 2.7 months on hand), compared to our 2010 annual rate of 4.8 times (or 2.5 months on hand). Our turns were impacted by the Continental acquisition. Excluding Continental, who turned their inventories at 3.2 times in the two months that we owned them, our 2011 inventory turn rate was 4.7 times.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $112.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $65.8 million during the same period in 2010. Our 2011 capital expenditures include the purchase of three of our existing warehouses that we previously leased, the purchase of three new buildings to replace expiring leased locations and the building and expansion of new and existing facilities. Our 2011 capital expenditures were budgeted at approximately $200 million, which included several internal growth activities. At this point, we expect our full year 2011 capital expenditures to be below our budgeted amount. However, we have not curtailed our growth activities, as certain of these projects will continue into 2012.

Financing Activities

The increase in our working capital and capital expenditures during the 2011 nine-month period as well as the acquisition of Continental was largely funded by our cash from operations and net borrowings of $430.7 million on our credit facility. We paid dividends to our shareholders of $26.9 million during the 2011 nine-month period. On October 26, 2011, our Board of Directors declared the 2011 fourth quarter regular cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. We have paid regular quarterly dividends to our shareholders for 52 consecutive years.

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are our internally generated funds from operations and our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Our total outstanding debt at September 30, 2011 was $1.48 billion, up from $941.3 million at December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, we had $790.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.

On July 26, 2011, the Company amended and restated the existing syndicated credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, and to extend the maturity date of the credit facility for a five-year

term to July 26, 2016. The amended and restated revolving credit facility has 26 banks as lenders. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.50% or the bank prime rate plus 0.50% as of September 30, 2011. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of September 30, 2011. The applicable margin over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined.

We also have various other separate revolving credit facilities in place for our operations in Asia and Europe with a combined credit limit of approximately $24.0 million and with combined outstanding balances of $13.7 million and $11.8 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Capital Resources

On November 20, 2006 we entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that, in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of the Company’s credit rating, require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

At September 30, 2011, we also had $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt. The outstanding senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% and have a remaining life of 1.8 years, maturing in July 2013.

Our net debt-to-total capital ratio was 31.0% at September 30, 2011; up from our 2010 year-end rate of 23.5% (net debt-to-total capital is calculated as total debt, net of cash, divided by Reliance shareholders’ equity plus total debt, net of cash).

As of September 30, 2011, we had $89.8 million of debt obligations coming due before our new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility expires July 26, 2016. We are comfortable that we will have adequate cash flow and capacity on our revolving credit facility to fund our debt obligations as well as our working capital, capital expenditure, growth and other needs. We expect to continue our acquisition and other growth activities in the future and anticipate that we will be able to fund such activities with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Covenants

Our amended and restated revolving credit facility and senior notes collectively require that we maintain a minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio, and a maximum leverage ratio and include change of control provisions, among other things. The interest coverage ratio for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 8.8 times compared to the debt covenant minimum requirement of 3.0 times (interest coverage ratio is calculated as net income attributable to Reliance plus interest expense and provision for income taxes and plus or minus any non-operating non-recurring loss or gain, respectively, divided by interest expense). The leverage ratio at September 30, 2011, calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement, was 33.0% compared to the debt covenant maximum amount of 60% (leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of capital lease obligations and outstanding letters of credit, divided by Reliance shareholders’ equity plus total debt). The minimum net worth requirement at September 30, 2011 was $999.2 million compared to the Reliance shareholders’ equity balance of $3.08 billion at September 30, 2011.

Additionally, all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Indenture and the private placement notes. The subsidiary guarantors, together with Reliance, are required collectively to account for at least 80% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 86% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 89% of total consolidated tangible assets as of September 30, 2011.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2011.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

We had no material changes in commitments for capital expenditures, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations as of September 30, 2011, as compared to those disclosed in our table of contractual obligations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Inflation

Our operations have not been, and we do not expect them to be, materially affected by general inflation. Historically, we have been successful in adjusting prices to our customers to reflect changes in metal prices.

Seasonality

Some of our customers are in seasonal businesses, especially customers in the construction industry and related businesses. As a result of our geographic, product and customer diversity, however, our operations have not shown any material seasonal trends. Revenues in the months of July, November and December traditionally have been lower than in other months because of a reduced number of working days for shipments of our products, resulting from vacation and holiday closures at some of our customers. We cannot assure you that period-to-period fluctuations will not occur in the future. 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 $1.23 billion at September 30, 2011, or approximately 21.5% of total assets, or 39.9% of Reliance shareholders’ equity. Additionally, other intangible assets, net amounted to $909.8 million at September 30, 2011, or approximately 15.9% of total assets, or 29.5% of Reliance shareholders’ equity. We review the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives annually or whenever significant events or changes occur, which might impair the recovery of recorded amounts. Our most recently completed annual impairment tests of goodwill were performed as of November 1, 2010 and it was determined that the recorded amounts for goodwill are recoverable and that no impairment existed. Our 2011 annual impairment tests of goodwill will be performed as of November 1, 2011. Other intangible assets with finite useful lives continue to be 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.

Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and the current changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to commodity prices, demand and future growth rates or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the assumptions used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions could produce a significantly different result. Furthermore, significant declines in the market conditions for our products as well as significant decreases in the price of our common stock could also impact our impairment analysis. However, as of September 30, 2011, we have noted no indications of impairment.

Critical Accounting Policies

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. generally accepted accounting principles. When we prepare these 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, deferred tax assets, goodwill and 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.

For further information regarding the accounting policies that we believe to be critical accounting policies and that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We do not believe that any of the new accounting guidance implemented during 2011 changed our critical accounting policies.
