Management Commentary
"Reliance achieved solid growth in 2014 and we are pleased with our strong operational execution throughout the year," said David H. Hannah, Chairman and CEO of Reliance. "Demand in the fourth quarter reflected the normal seasonal slowdown caused by fewer shipping days due to the holiday season and holiday-related closures by many of our customers. However, with the exception of the energy markets, underlying demand momentum in the fourth quarter remained strong. Reliance's sequential quarter 4.9% reduction in tons sold was better than the MSCI Industry average decline of 7.6% in the quarter. Reliance also significantly outpaced the industry for the full year with a 6.1% increase in same store tons sold compared to the MSCI Industry average increase of 4.2%. Although metals pricing was generally stronger in 2014 than in 2013, steel pricing was constrained by historically high levels of imports supported, in part, by a strengthening U.S. dollar. This, plus the effects of significant decreases in the price of scrap and other steelmaking raw materials during the 2014 fourth quarter, resulted in falling steel prices that have continued into 2015 and negatively affected our gross profit margins."
Mr. Hannah continued, "With improved overall demand and pricing throughout the majority of the year, Reliance generated full year net sales growth of 13% over 2013 with nearly a 34% increase in full year operating income on a FIFO basis, reflecting another strong performance by our managers in the field. We also completed three acquisitions in 2014 that nicely complement the Reliance family of companies in terms of geographic footprint, end market diversification and product mix."
Mr. Hannah concluded, "During 2014, in addition to the acquisitions, we spent $190 million for capital expenditures to support organic growth initiatives, repurchased $50 million of our common stock, and paid regular dividends of $109 million to our shareholders. Our healthy balance sheet and confidence in our operational execution provides a strong foundation for us to continue investing in the growth of our business while, at the same time, returning value to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases."

End-market Commentary
Reliance experienced steadily improving customer demand across most all of its end markets in 2014. While the Company does not expect any single end-market to deliver outsized growth in 2015, continued strength in the aerospace and automotive (through the Company's toll processing operations) markets are expected, along with further improvement in the non-residential construction market.
- Aerospace demand continued to improve during 2014 compared to 2013 levels, and is expected to further improve throughout 2015. Reliance expects pricing will improve as 2015 progresses.
- Automotive, supported mainly by the Company's toll processing operations in the U.S. and Mexico, is expected to continue at its current, strong production rates in 2015. The increase in aluminum usage in the automotive industry continues to represent a growth area for Reliance.
- Heavy industry continues to perform reasonably well, despite some recent downward pressure on agricultural and mining equipment and pricing.
- Non-residential construction continued to show improvement in 2014 but remains at significantly reduced demand levels from its peak. Reliance believes that this important end-market will show further signs of improvement throughout 2015.
- Energy (oil and gas) demand for the products Reliance sells is expected to remain under pressure in 2015 due to the current weak oil prices.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
As of December 31, 2014, total debt outstanding was $2.32 billion, for a net debt-to-total capital ratio of 35.0%, compared to 34.3% at December 31, 2013. The Company had $675 million outstanding on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014. The Company generated $356.0 million in cash flow from operating activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $633.3 million during the same twelve month period in 2013. The decline was primarily due to higher levels of working capital needed in 2014 given the somewhat improved business conditions and increased sales. Reliance remains pleased with its overall financial position, but sees opportunity to reduce current inventory levels, and expects to use the excess cash to pay down debt, along with funding its growth and returning value to shareholders.
Corporate Developments
Effective December 1, 2014, Reliance acquired all of the capital stock of Fox Metals and Alloys, Inc. ("Fox"), a steel distributor specializing in alloy, carbon and stainless steel bar and plate products, primarily servicing OEMs and machine shops who manufacture or support the manufacturing of equipment for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Since beginning operations in 1985, Fox has built a reputation for providing outstanding customer service and being a trusted supplier in the Houston/Gulf Coast region. Fox's in-house processing services include saw cutting, plate burning and testing. Net sales for Fox were approximately $50.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
On February 17, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock, an increase of 14% from the 2014 quarterly rate of $0.35 per share. The dividend is payable on March 27, 2015 to shareholders of record as of March 13, 2015. The Company has paid regular quarterly dividends for 55 consecutive years and has increased the dividend 22 times since the 1994 IPO.
On October 21, 2014, Reliance's Board of Directors extended the existing Share Repurchase Plan to December 31, 2017. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 759,800 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $65.80 per share for $50 million under the Share Repurchase Plan. At December 31, 2014, the remaining balance available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Plan was about 7.1 million shares, or approximately 9% of its outstanding shares.
Business Outlook
Reliance expects the U.S. economy to continue to improve throughout 2015. Despite current pressure on the portion of Reliance's business directly servicing the energy market, estimated at about 8% to 10% of total sales, lower fuel prices and energy costs are expected to drive improvement in overall U.S. demand. The historically high levels of metal being imported into the U.S. are expected to continue given the strong U.S. dollar and weaker economies in other parts of the world, which will continue to put downward pressure on steel prices. Due to normal seasonal trends, as well as the improving demand environment, Reliance expects higher tons sold in the first quarter of 2015 versus the fourth quarter of 2014, but lower average selling prices and margins. As a result, management currently expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.10 for the quarter ending March 31, 2015.

| 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 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. |

| Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.'s presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS over certain time periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to the Company's historical performance for our existing and future shareholders. Adjustments to net income and EPS include charges for transaction costs related to its acquisitions of Aluminium Services UK Limited in August 2014 and Metals USA in April 2013, restructuring and other charges relating to the consolidation of three of its metals service centers, sale of non-core real estate, sale of certain non-core assets acquired as part of the Metals USA acquisition, gain from the acquisition of Acero Prime S. de R.L. de C.V. achieved in stages, legal costs and accruals related to the Texas antitrust litigation matter, and other non-recurring settlements which make comparisons to the Company's operating results between periods difficult using GAAP measures. |
