Investing.com -- Ryerson Holding Corporation (NYSE:RYI), a metals processor and distributor, reported second-quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations as the company continues to navigate challenging conditions in the manufacturing sector. Shares dropped 2.8% following the announcement.
The company posted adjusted earnings of $0.08 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, missing the analyst consensus of $0.16 per share. Revenue came in at $1.17 billion, slightly below the consensus estimate of $1.18 billion but in line with the company’s guidance. Compared to the same period last year, revenue decreased 4.6% from $1.23 billion.
Despite the earnings miss, Ryerson managed to increase its average selling prices by 2.8% quarter-over-quarter to $2,334 per ton, while shipment volumes rose fractionally by 0.2%. The company generated $45 million in Adjusted EBITDA excluding LIFO, representing a 37.2% increase from the previous quarter and a 5.6% improvement YoY.
"Self-help and execution are the name of the game amidst ongoing recessed demand conditions in the overall manufacturing and industrial metals sectors of the economy," said Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s President and CEO. "We grew market share and transactional business across the network as more capex and systems projects became fully operational and normalized despite ongoing sluggishness within OEM program accounts."
For the third quarter, Ryerson expects customer shipments to decrease by 2% to 4% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting both normal seasonality and recessed manufacturing demand. The company forecasts net sales between $1.14 billion and $1.18 billion, with average selling prices increasing 1% to 3%. Adjusted EBITDA excluding LIFO is projected to be in the range of $40 million to $45 million, with earnings per diluted share between $0.00 and $0.06.
The company ended the quarter with $510 million in debt and net debt of $479 million, up from $498 million and $464 million respectively at the end of the first quarter. Ryerson’s board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1875 per share, payable on September 18, 2025.
