FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Metals USA Holdings Corp. (NYSE: MUSA) today reported its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $16.7 million compared to net income of $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") were $0.45 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.16 for the third quarter of 2010.
Net sales for the first nine months of 2011 were $1,430.2 million, up 48% from net sales of $968.2 million for the first nine months of 2010. Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $50.6 million compared to net income of $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. EPS was $1.36 in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $0.26 for the first nine months of 2010.
Metal shipments were 340,600 tons for the third quarter of 2011, up 25% from metal shipments of 272,600 tons in the third quarter of 2010. Metal shipments for the first nine months of 2011 were 1,069,000 tons, up 35% compared to metal shipments of 791,600 tons for the first nine months of 2010. Toll processed tonnage was 36,900 tons during the third quarter of 2011 compared to 15,500 tons for the third quarter of 2010. Toll processed tonnage was 123,600 tons during the first nine months of 2011 compared to 36,000 tons for the first nine months of 2010.
Lourenco Goncalves, the Company's Chairman, President and C.E.O., stated: "Our third quarter results confirm we are succeeding with our plan to make Metals USA the most efficient company in the service center industry. We operate with a mentality to constantly go after profitable business, regardless of the economic headwinds, and have shifted our business to support markets that are doing well. Growth in automotive, energy, lawn and garden, heavy equipment, and agriculture, to name a few, have all contributed to offset end-markets that continue to struggle with recession overhang, such as non-residential construction."
Mr. Goncalves added: "We continue to build our business on all fronts. Each of our acquired companies is delivering strong results and averaging up our EBITDA margin, as planned. Equally important, we continue to successfully exploit opportunities to gain market share as they present themselves."
Mr. Goncalves concluded: "Business conditions during the last three months were stable and consistent with earlier quarters this year. Inventories throughout the supply chain remain modest and mill lead times are not extended. At this time we see no issues, beyond seasonal patterns, that suggest fourth quarter demand for Metals USA will change appreciably from recent quarters."
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the accompanying table), a non-GAAP financial measure used by Metals USA and its lenders to evaluate the performance of the business, was $41.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, up 70% from the Company's Adjusted EBITDA of $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011 Adjusted EBITDA was $128.6 million compared to $68.2 million for the first nine months of 2010.
Metals USA had $243.4 million drawn under its asset-based credit facility at September 30, 2011, with excess availability of $177.3 million. Net debt, defined as total outstanding debt less cash, increased by $2.8 million during the quarter to $471.2 million as of September 30, 2011. Net cash used in operating activities for third quarter of 2011 was $38.6 million. Capital expenditures were $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $10.1 million for the first nine months of 2011.

(1) EBITDA is the summation of operating income (loss) and depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is commonly used as a measure of performance for companies in our industry and is frequently used by analysts, investors, lenders and other interested parties to evaluate a company's financial performance and its ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of operating performance or a measure of liquidity. | ||||||||||||||||
(2) Adjusted EBITDA, as contemplated by our credit documents,is used by our lenders for debt covenant compliance purposes.Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to eliminate management fees to related parties, one-time, non-recurring charges related to the use of purchase accounting, and other non-cash income or expenses, which are more particularly defined in our credit documents and the indentures governing our notes. | ||||||||||||||||
(3) Expressed in thousands of tons. Not a meaningful measure for Building Products. | ||||||||||||||||
(4) Negative net sales and shipment information represent the elimination of intercompany transactions. | ||||||||||||||||
(5) Includes depreciation expense recorded in cost of sales. | ||||||||||||||||
(6) Based on net sales by product line excluding Building Products. | ||||||||||||||||
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Non-GAAP Measures, Reconciliations and Explanations | |||||||||||||||
EBITDA is the summation of operating income (loss) and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA also represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the loan and security agreement governing the ABL facility and the indentures governing our notes) is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and realized (or in the case of the indentures, expected) future cost savings directly related to prior acquisitions. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined terms under accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America ("GAAP"). Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to operating income or net income as a measure of operating results or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. | |||||||||||||||
There are material limitations associated with making the adjustments to our earnings to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and using these non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For instance, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include: | |||||||||||||||
* interest expense, and because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue; | |||||||||||||||
* depreciation and amortization expense, and because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue; and | |||||||||||||||
* income tax expense, and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate. | |||||||||||||||
We present EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by our investors and other interested parties, as well as by our management, in the evaluation of companies in our industry, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. In addition, EBITDA provides additional information used by our management and board of directors to facilitate internal comparisons to historical operating performance of prior periods. Further, management believes EBITDA facilitates our operating performance comparisons from period to period because it excludes potential differences caused by variations in capital structure (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting depreciation expense). | |||||||||||||||
We believe that the inclusion of supplemental adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the performance of the business, and we are required to present Adjusted EBITDA to demonstrate compliance with our debt covenants. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key indicator to evaluate performance of certain employees. | |||||||||||||||
