Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
================================================================================
NOTE 1/FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results of any other periods or for the year. The financial statements as of
June 30, 2000 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such periods. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 2/ACQUISITION
On February 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Washington
Specialty Metals Corporation, an eight-location metals service center
specializing in value-added stainless steel. The Company purchased all of the
outstanding stock of Washington Specialty Metals for approximately $66 million.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and
the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Goodwill arising from the acquisition will be amortized using the
straight-line method over 25 years.
NOTE 3/MERGER
On February 25, 1999, the Company and the pre-merger Ryerson Tull, Inc. (RT)
merged and each share of RT Class A common stock was converted into 0.61 share
of Company common stock. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company changed
its name from Inland Steel Industries, Inc. to Ryerson Tull, Inc. The merger has
been accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting purposes. Under the
purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of RT in proportion to
the 13% minority interest were recorded at their fair values at the effective
time of the merger.

NOTE 5/RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$23.3 million. The charge is the result of realigning geographic divisions to
improve responsiveness to local markets, exiting non-core businesses and
centralizing administrative services to achieve economies of scale. Details of
the restructuring charge, which includes severance for 319 employees, are as
follows:
Restructuring Utilized Balance at
(In millions) Charge in Quarter June 30, 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write-down of long-lived assets $ 9.3 $ 9.3 $ -
Employee costs 7.4 2.4 5.0
Tenancy costs and other 6.6 0.1 6.5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$23.3 $11.8 $11.5
It is expected that the restructuring actions will be substantially completed by
year-end 2000.
NOTE 6/TAXES
The effective tax rate has changed from the prior periods due to an increase in
permanent tax differences arising from the restructuring charge and an increase
in the proportion of permanent differences to pretax income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations - Comparison of Second Quarter 2000 to Second Quarter 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second quarter of 2000, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of
$13.6 million, or 55 cents per diluted share as compared with net income of
$27.6 million, or 41 cents per diluted share from continuing operations in the
year-ago quarter. Included in the second quarter 2000 results was a pre-tax
restructuring charge of $23.3 million, or 67 cents per share. Excluding this
charge, the Company earned 12 cents per diluted share in the quarter.
Sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased 7.5 percent to $760.8 million
from the same period a year ago. Volume increased 2.3 percent while average
selling price increased 5 percent. Most of the increase in average selling price
is attributable to surcharges on stainless product, which are directly passed
through to the customers.
Gross profit per ton declined to $170 in the second quarter of 2000 from $192 in
the year-ago quarter due to the Company's inability to pass along all of the
increase in material costs to customers. Gross profit margin declined from 23.3%
a year ago to 19.7% in the second quarter. However, productivity gains and
continued expense control helped offset some of the loss in gross profit
margins. Expenses, defined as operating expenses plus depreciation and
amortization, were reduced to $155 per ton in the second quarter of 2000 from
$157 per ton in the second quarter of 1999.
The Company is undergoing a restructuring to optimize facility use and improve
efficiencies. The $23.3 million restructuring charge consists of severance for
319 employees and asset write-offs resulting from closing or downsizing
businesses and centralizing certain functions.
Excluding the restructuring charge, the Company generated $13.6 million
operating profit in the second quarter of 2000, compared to $26.3 million a year
ago.
At the beginning of April 2000, the Company experienced a sudden weakness in
sales volume driven by customers' need to adjust production schedules and
inventories to more appropriate levels. Additionally, the rapid pace of metal
price increases at the beginning of the quarter made it difficult to pass higher
prices through to customers. The Company anticipates a continuing slowdown in
the metal-using sector of the economy over the next few quarters.
Results of Operations - Comparison of First Six Months 2000 to First Six Months
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
- ----
For the first six months of 2000, the Company reported a consolidated net loss
of $2.6 million, or 11 cents per diluted share. Net income in the year-ago
period was $37.4 million, consisting of $20.1 million from continuing operations
and $17.3 million from an adjustment to taxes for the gain on the sale of Inland
Steel Company. Included in the 2000 results are restructuring and plant closure
charges of $27.8 million and a $4.4 million pretax pension curtailment gain.
Net sales of $1.5 billion increased 10.5 percent from the first six months of
1999 as volume increased 7.0 percent and selling prices increased 3.5 percent.
Excluding the restructuring and plant closure costs in both periods and the
pension curtailment gain, operating profit decreased 26.7 percent to $40.5
million from $55.4 million in the year-ago period.
Liquidity and Financing
- -----------------------
The Company had cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2000 of $22.8 million
compared to $39.5 million at December 31, 1999. At June 30, 2000, the Company
had outstanding short-term borrowings of $83.6 million under the Company's lines
of credit. During the first six months of 2000, the Company's cash flow from
operating activities was a negative $71.7 million primarily due to low earnings
and a significant increase in working capital requirements.
On February 1, 2000, the Company redeemed the $7 million outstanding principal
amount of the Port of Portland Variable Rate Industrial Revenue Refunding Bonds
("IRB") due November 1, 2007 at par value. The Company also cancelled the $7
million letter of credit supporting this IRB.
On June 21, 2000, the Company purchased and retired $4.8 million of the $150
million 8.5% Notes maturing on July 15, 2001.
The Company has a committed bank revolving credit facility of $250 million that
extends until September 5, 2002. The revolving credit agreement contains
covenants that, among other things, limit the amount of dividends and stock
repurchases and restrict the amount of additional debt. The maximum amount of
dividend payments or share repurchases that could have
8
been made as of June 30, 2000, was $110 million. During the first quarter of
2000, two uncommitted and unsecured lines of credit totaling $20 million were
established.
The indenture under which $250 million of debt was issued in 1996 ("RT Notes")
contains covenants limiting, among other things, the creation of secured
indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, the repurchase of capital stock,
transactions with affiliates and mergers, consolidations and certain sale of
assets. In addition, the RT Notes restrict the payment of dividends, although to
a lesser extent than the bank credit facility described above. Effective with
the merger of RT and the Company on February 26, 1999, the Company assumed the
RT Notes.
ISC Sale Contingencies
- ----------------------
The Agreement and Plan of Merger among Ispat International, N.V. ("Ispat"),
Inland Merger Sub, Inc., Inland Steel Industries, Inc. (now named Ryerson Tull,
Inc.), and Inland Steel Company (now named Ispat Inland, Inc.) dated May 27,
1998, as amended (the "Merger Agreement") provides that the Company indemnify
Ispat for specified losses and expenses. As previously disclosed, by letter
dated May 11, 1999, Ispat advised the Company of its involvement in a civil
lawsuit and federal criminal grand jury proceeding in Louisiana and notified the
Company of its intention to seek indemnification from the Company in connection
with the Louisiana proceedings. See "Management's Discussion of Operations and
Financial Condition - ISC Sale Contingencies," incorporated by reference under
Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999.
In letters dated March 31, 2000, Ispat notified the Company that Ispat was
asserting claims against the Company under the Merger Agreement related to
certain pension liabilities, insurance premiums, property taxes, environmental
matters, intellectual property and the Louisiana proceedings. Ispat also stated
that it does not consider the Company's liability with respect to the Louisiana
proceedings to be limited by the $90 million cap on indemnification for breaches
of representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement but intends to pursue
all other remedies, both under the Merger Agreement and otherwise, if its losses
in that matter were to exceed $90 million. In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
1999 dated March 30, 2000, Ispat disclosed that it had agreed to extend the
statute of limitations for the filing of any criminal charges against it in the
Louisiana proceedings through September 30, 2000.
In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Second Quarter 2000, dated
August 7, 2000, Ispat disclosed that it is investigating the factual basis of
such a claim; whether any of the coated culvert is defective and, if so, the
extent of such defects and the remedial options; the method by which damages
would be calculated if the claims were established; and the relative
responsibilities of other corporate defendants to satisfy such a claim. Ispat
also stated that, in cooperation with the U.S Attorney and federal and state
highway officials, Ispat has conducted field inspections and analysis of many of
the coated culverts at issue and that Ispat is holding discussions with the U.S.
Attorney and co-defendants. Ispat again stated that at this stage, it is unable
to determine the outcome and resulting liability, if any, relating to this
matter, and whether this matter could materially affect Ispat's financial
position or results of operations. The Company is unable to determine at this
time whether the foregoing would affect its financial condition or results of
operations.
