NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

1. Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

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 six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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 our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our 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. Our 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, 2012, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), 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. We elected to adopt the two-statement option. The new guidance eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. Other than the change in presentation, the adoption of these changes had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The new guidance also required entities to present reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. However, in December 2011, the FASB issued guidance, which indefinitely defers the guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.

On January 1, 2012, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to provide a consistent definition of fair value and to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance changed certain fair value measurement principles and enhanced the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standard – Not Yet Adopted

In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. This new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance, but do not expect the adoption will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

2012 Acquisitions

Effective April, 27, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Precision Strip, Inc., we acquired the assets of the Worthington Steel Vonore, Tennessee plant, a processing facility owned by Worthington Industries, Inc. The Vonore plant operates as a Precision Strip, Inc. location which processes and delivers carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel products on a “toll” basis, processing the metal for a fee without taking ownership of the metal. The addition of the Vonore location to our existing footprint of facilities allows us to better service our customer base in an important geographic area of the country.

Effective April 3, 2012, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of National Specialty Alloys, LLC (“NSA”), a global specialty alloy processor and distributor of premium stainless steel and nickel alloy bars and shapes, headquartered in Houston, Texas. In addition to enhancing our existing product offerings with the addition of specialty stainless steel and nickel products, NSA also expands and complements our exposure to the fast-growing energy market. NSA was founded in 1985 and has additional locations in Anaheim, California; Buford, Georgia and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Net sales of NSA during the period from April 3, 2012 through June 30, 2012 were approximately $24.4 million.

Effective February 1, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Diamond Manufacturing Company, we acquired McKey Perforating Co., Inc. (“McKey”), headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin and its subsidiary, McKey Perforated Products Co., Inc., located in Manchester, Tennessee. McKey was founded in 1867 and provides a full range of metal perforating and fabrication services to customers located primarily in the U.S. McKey will be working closely with Diamond Manufacturing Company to leverage their combined expertise in the perforated metal market and further expand our presence within that market. McKey had net sales of $9.0 million for the five months ended June 30, 2012.

The combined transaction value of our 2012 acquisitions was $111.9 million, which included the assumption and repayment of $29.5 million of debt. We funded these acquisitions with borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

2011 Acquisition

Effective August 1, 2011, we acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (“Continental”), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies for a combined transaction value of approximately $440.8 million, which included the assumption and repayment of $104.7 million of debt. We funded this acquisition with borrowings on 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 Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, the U.A.E., the United Kingdom, and the United States. This acquisition aligns well with our diversification strategy by increasing our exposure to the fast growing energy market, including the addition of Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) products, new processing capabilities, and entry into new international markets. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of approximately $225.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Purchase Price Allocations

The purchase price allocations for the 2012 acquisitions are preliminary and are pending the completion of tangible and intangible asset valuations and various pre- and post-acquisition period income tax returns. The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Continental is pending the completion of certain post-acquisition period income tax returns.

Our effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 33.7% and 34.2%, respectively. Permanent items that lowered our effective income tax rates from the federal statutory rate were not materially different in amounts during these periods and relate mainly to company-owned life insurance policies, domestic production activities deductions and foreign income levels that are taxed at lower rates.

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 June 30, 2012. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of June 30, 2012. The applicable margin over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined.

Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 1.74% and 1.78% as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, we had $33.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $217.0 million of letters of credit.

Revolving Credit Facilities – Foreign Operations

Various other separate revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $20.7 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $11.9 million and $11.8 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes – Private Placements

We have $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt as of June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the outstanding senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% and mature in July 2013.

Senior Unsecured Notes – Publicly Traded

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 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 our credit rating, require us 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 us 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. Our interest coverage ratio for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately 10.4 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). Our leverage ratio as of June 30, 2012 calculated in accordance with the terms of the revolving credit facility was 31.7% 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 June 30, 2012 was $1.09 billion compared to Reliance shareholders’ equity balance of $3.37 billion as of June 30, 2012.

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 our consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 87% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 90% of total consolidated tangible assets as of June 30, 2012.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

8. Equity

Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we issued 253,919 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options for total proceeds of approximately $9.7 million.

On May 16, 2012, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.

Share Based Compensation

On May 16, 2012, pursuant to the May 2011 Directors Equity Plan, which has been approved by the shareholders, 16,842 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 $49.87 per share, determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

On March 16, 2012, we granted 391,050 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to key employees pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. Each RSU has a service condition and cliff vests at December 31, 2014 and consists of the right to receive one share of our common stock and dividend equivalent rights, subject to forfeiture, equal to the accrued cash or stock dividends where the record date for such dividends is after the grant date but before the shares vest. In addition to the service criteria, 138,700 of the 391,050 RSUs also have performance goals and vest only upon the satisfaction of the service and performance criteria. The fair value of the restricted stock units granted was $57.42 per share, determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

Share Repurchase Program

As of June 30, 2012, 7,883,033 shares of common stock remain authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program. No shares were repurchased in 2012 or 2011. Repurchased shares are redeemed and treated as authorized but unissued shares.

Foreign currency translation adjustments are not generally adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in foreign subsidiaries. Unrealized loss on investments and minimum pension liability are net of taxes of $0.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

We are currently involved with certain environmental remediation projects related to activities at former manufacturing operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Earle M. Jorgensen Company (“EMJ”) that were sold many years prior to our 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. We do not expect that these obligations will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, restricted stock, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share are calculated including the dilutive effects of options, restricted stock, warrants and convertible securities, if any.

The computations of earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 do not include 2,462,550 and 3,084,925 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The computations of earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 do not include 2,468,973 and 3,091,513 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

11. Subsequent Event

On July 6, 2012, through our newly-formed subsidiary Bralco Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airport Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Airport Metals”), a subsidiary of Samuel Son & Co., Limited. Airport Metals, based in Melbourne, operates as a stocking distributor of aircraft materials and supplies. Terms were not disclosed due to immateriality.

12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

In November 2006, we issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million at fixed interest rates that are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to Rule 3-10 of SEC Regulation S-X “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several obligations of each of the guarantor subsidiaries. There are no significant restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from any of the guarantor subsidiaries by dividends or loans. The supplemental consolidating financial information has been presented in lieu of separate financial statements of the guarantors as such separate financial statements are not considered meaningful.

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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

2012 Acquisitions

On July 6, 2012, through our newly-formed subsidiary Bralco Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airport Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Airport Metals”), a subsidiary of Samuel Son & Co., Limited. Airport Metals, based in Melbourne, operates as a stocking distributor of aircraft materials and supplies.

Effective April, 27, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Precision Strip, Inc., we acquired the assets of the Worthington Steel Vonore, Tennessee plant, a processing facility owned by Worthington Industries, Inc. The Vonore plant operates as a Precision Strip, Inc. location which processes and delivers carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel products on a “toll” basis, processing the metal for a fee without taking ownership of the metal. The addition of the Vonore location to our existing footprint of facilities allows us to better service our customer base in an important geographic area of the country.

Effective April 3, 2012, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of National Specialty Alloys, LLC (“NSA”), a global specialty alloy processor and distributor of premium stainless steel and nickel alloy bars and shapes, headquartered in Houston, Texas. In addition to enhancing our existing product offerings with the addition of specialty stainless steel and nickel products, NSA also expands and complements our exposure to the fast-growing energy market. NSA was founded in 1985 and has additional locations in Anaheim, California; Buford, Georgia and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Net sales of NSA during the period from April 3, 2012 through June 30, 2012 were approximately $24.4 million.

Effective February 1, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Diamond Manufacturing Company, we acquired McKey Perforating Co., Inc. (“McKey”), headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin and its subsidiary, McKey Perforated Products Co., Inc., located in Manchester, Tennessee. McKey was founded in 1867 and provides a full range of metal perforating and fabrication services to customers located primarily in the U.S. McKey will be working closely with Diamond Manufacturing Company to leverage their combined expertise in the perforated metal market and further expand our presence within that market. McKey had net sales of $9.0 million for the five months ended June 30, 2012.

2011 Acquisition

Effective August 1, 2011, we acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (“Continental”), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies for a combined transaction value of approximately $440.8 million, which included the assumption and repayment of $104.7 million of debt. We funded this acquisition with borrowings on 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 Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, the U.A.E., the United Kingdom, and the United States. This acquisition aligns well with our diversification strategy by increasing our exposure to the fast growing energy market, including the addition of Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) products, new processing capabilities, and entry into new international markets. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of approximately $225.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

The following table sets forth certain income statement data for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars are shown in millions and certain amounts may not calculate due to rounding):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

Gross profit (1) |  | 569.4 |  | 25.8 |  |  | 510.8 |  | 24.9 |  |  | 1,147.2 |  | 25.5 |  |  | 1,017.1 |  | 25.7 |
Warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense (“S,G&A”) |  | 346.7 |  | 15.7 |  |  | 313.7 |  | 15.3 |  |  | 704.4 |  | 15.7 |  |  | 632.2 |  | 16.0 |
Depreciation expense |  | 25.8 |  | 1.2 |  |  | 23.6 |  | 1.2 |  |  | 51.1 |  | 1.1 |  |  | 48.7 |  | 1.2 |
Amortization expense |  | 10.7 |  | 0.5 |  |  | 7.9 |  | 0.4 |  |  | 20.9 |  | 0.5 |  |  | 15.8 |  | 0.4 |

(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. 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 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.

We have continued to see steady improvement in our tons sold in 2012. In general, business activity in most all of our markets served is better in 2012 than in the same period in 2011. In 2012, our strongest markets continue to be energy (oil and gas), aerospace, farm and heavy equipment, and auto (through our toll processing businesses). We have seen some improvements in our non-residential construction related business mainly through industrial construction projects, but it still lags the growth we have seen in other areas.

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. The mix of products sold can also have an impact on our average selling prices. Our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, particularly Continental and NSA who specialize in various alloy steel products, favorably impacted our 2012 three- and six-month period average selling prices as their specialty products have higher selling prices than our company average.

Our 2012 same-store three- and six-month period average selling prices declined from the same periods in 2011 due to lower mill pricing for most of our products as a result of decreases in raw material and scrap costs at the mills as well as high import levels that needed to be absorbed in the marketplace. Lower London Metal Exchange aluminum prices and reduced nickel surcharges were primarily responsible for the drop in common alloy aluminum and stainless steel prices, respectively.

Our major commodity same-store selling prices changed during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011 as follows: carbon steel down 4.7%; aluminum down 2.4%; stainless steel down 12.9%; and alloy up 2.7%. For the 2012 six-month period, our same-store average selling prices changed from the same period in 2011 as follows: carbon steel down 0.3%; aluminum down 0.3%; stainless steel down 9.2%; and alloy up 5.2%. As carbon steel sales represent slightly more than 50% of our sales, changes in carbon steel prices have a significant impact on changes in our overall average price per ton sold.

The increase in cost of sales in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to the increase in tons sold in both periods. 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 credit, or income, of $7.5 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to a charge, or expense, of $25.0 million in the same period in 2011. Our LIFO reserve at June 30, 2012 remained unchanged from December 31, 2011, resulting in no charge or credit in the 2012 six-month period. Our LIFO reserve adjustment resulted in a charge, or expense, of $45.0 million in the 2011 six-month period.

We currently estimate our year-end LIFO reserve to remain unchanged from prior year-end, as we expect our average cost of inventory at December 31, 2012 to remain consistent with prior year-end.

The increase in our gross profit levels in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to higher sales levels. The gross profit margin fluctuations are due to changing commodity prices that impact the cost of the materials we purchase as well as LIFO adjustments, which in effect reflect cost of sales at current replacement costs. See “Net Sales” and “Cost of Sales” above for discussion on product pricing trends and our LIFO reserve adjustments, respectively.

The additional expenses of our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions and increases in certain warehouse and delivery expenses from additional staffing levels required due to improved demand accounted for most of the increase in S,G&A expense during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. Our three-month period ended June 30, 2012 S,G&A expense as a percent of net sales increased as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to lower average selling prices in the 2012 three-month period compared to the same period in 2011.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions and depreciation expense from our recent capital expenditures.

Operating Income

The higher gross profit dollars generated on higher sales, offset by only moderate increases in S,G&A expense, and the contributions of our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions significantly improved our operating income level in the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. Our operating income returns improved slightly in the 2012 periods mainly because our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions produce higher operating returns due to the specialty nature of their products and processing services.

The change in other income (expense) in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower gains from sales of property plant, and equipment, lower gains from redemption of life insurance policies and higher foreign currency losses due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the three month-period ended June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 34.3% and 35.0%, respectively. Our effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 33.7% and 34.2%, respectively. Permanent items that lowered our effective income tax rates from the federal statutory rate were not materially different in amounts during these periods and relate mainly to company-owned life insurance policies, domestic production activities deductions and foreign income levels that are taxed at lower rates.

Net Income Attributable to Reliance

The increase in net income attributable to Reliance in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of more favorable demand for our products, which has allowed us to generate increased gross profit dollars with relatively lower increases in our operating expenses, and contributions from our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $85.5 million in the same period in 2011. As a result of increased demand levels from December 31, 2011, our working capital, primarily accounts receivable and inventories, has increased from year-end levels. However, we were able to fund these increases partially with our profitable business activities and borrowings on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Our receivables and FIFO inventories increased by $98.6 million and $183.4 million, respectively, from December 31, 2011 levels, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately $14.8 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. At June 30, 2012 our days sales outstanding rate was approximately 41.5 days compared to 41.6 days at December 31, 2011. Our inventory turn rate (based on dollars) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was about 4.1 times (or 2.9 months on hand), compared to our 2011 annual rate of 4.4 times (or 2.7 months on hand). Our turns were primarily impacted by the Continental acquisition in August 2011 and NSA in April 2012. Excluding the 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, our 2012 inventory turn rate (based on dollars) was 4.3 times (or 2.8 months on hand).

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $86.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $66.3 million during the same period in 2011. The majority of our 2012 capital expenditures relate to growth initiatives to expand or relocate existing facilities, purchase properties that were previously leased and to add or upgrade equipment in addition to meeting ongoing maintenance requirements. Our 2012 capital expenditures are budgeted at approximately $250 million. At this point, we expect our full year 2012 capital expenditures to be below our budgeted amount. However, we have not curtailed our growth activities.

We also spent $82.3 million on acquisitions in the 2012 six-month period, net of cash acquired and debt assumed.

Financing Activities

The increase in our working capital, our 2012 capital expenditures and the 2012 acquisitions were largely funded by our cash from operations and net borrowings of $200.0 million on our credit facility. We paid dividends to our shareholders of $22.5 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. On July 24, 2012, our Board of Directors declared the 2012 third quarter cash dividend of $.25 per share, up 67% from $.15 per share. We have

24

Table of Contents

increased our dividend 18 times since our IPO in 1994 and have paid regular quarterly dividends to our shareholders for 53 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 June 30, 2012 was $1.53 billion, up from $1.33 billion at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, we had $845.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.

On July 26, 2011, we 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 June 30, 2012. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of June 30, 2012. The applicable margin over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our 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 $20.7 million and with combined outstanding balances of $11.9 million and $11.8 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 our credit rating, require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.

At June 30, 2012, 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 mature in July 2013.

Our net debt-to-total capital ratio was 29.9% at June 30, 2012; up from our 2011 year-end rate of 28.4% (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 June 30, 2012, we had $87.8 million of debt obligations coming due before our new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility expires on 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, and to maintain and potentially increase our dividends. 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 cash from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the near term.

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 June 30, 2012 was approximately 10.4 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 June 30, 2012, calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement, was 31.7% 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 June 30, 2012 was $1.09 billion compared to the Reliance shareholders’ equity balance of $3.37 billion at June 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

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 our consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 87% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 90% of total consolidated tangible assets as of June 30, 2012.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2012.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

We had no material changes in commitments for capital expenditures, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2011.

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

Effective January 1, 2012, we revised our internal reporting package for our Chief Operation Decision Maker (our Chief Executive Officer) and our Board of Directors in order to better align internal reporting with the way performance is measured and key resource allocation decisions are made, which are primarily based on enterprise level data. As part of the segment reassessment process triggered by this change, we concluded that we have one operating segment and also one reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes. There was no change in our reportable segments; we have one reportable segment, metals service centers.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $1.28 billion at June 30, 2012, or approximately 21.2% of total assets, or 38.0% of Reliance shareholders’ equity. Additionally, other intangible assets, net amounted to $915.6 million at June 30, 2012, or approximately 15.2% of total assets, or 27.2% 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, 2011 and updated for any significant developments or changes through December, 31, 2011. We determined that the recorded amounts for goodwill were recoverable and that no impairment existed. Our 2012 annual impairment tests of goodwill will be performed as of November 1, 2012. 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 June 30, 2012, 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, 2011. We do not believe that any of the new accounting guidance implemented during 2012 changed our critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to various market risk factors, including fluctuations in interest rates, changes in general economic conditions, domestic and foreign competition, foreign currency exchange rates, metals pricing, demand and availability. There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures since December 31, 2011. Please refer to Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further discussion on quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to and as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
