Steel Dynamics Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results
FORT WAYNE, INDIANA, October 16, 2019 / PRNewswire / Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today announced third quarter 2019 financial results. The company reported third quarter 2019 net sales of $2.5 billion and net income of $151 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. Comparatively, prior year third quarter net sales were $3.2 billion, with net income of $398 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, which included charges related to fair value purchase accounting adjustments of $0.04 per diluted share and a tax benefit of $0.04 per diluted share. Sequential second quarter 2019 net sales were $2.8 billion, with net income of $194 million, or $0.87 per diluted share.
“Our third quarter 2019 consolidated operating income was $228 million and adjusted EBITDA $315 million,” said Mark D. Millett, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The team delivered a solid third quarter performance in a challenging steel pricing environment, as average steel pricing declined in the quarter more than offsetting the benefit of lower scrap costs. Steel customer inventory destocking has subsided, and underlying domestic steel demand remains principally intact for the primary steel consuming sectors, with particular strength in construction, as supported by our continued seasonally strong steel fabrication backlog.”
The company generated strong cash flow from operations of $444 million during the third quarter 2019 and increased liquidity to a record high $2.4 billion. The company paid cash dividends of $53 million and repurchased $115 million of its common stock during the third quarter 2019.
“We are pleased by the recent rating upgrades to an investment grade credit by all three credit rating agencies,” stated Theresa E. Wagler, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “This is a natural progression of our growth, and recognition of our strong balance sheet profile and through-cycle free cash flow generation capability. Due to the strength of our liquidity profile, capital structure and free cash flow generating business model, we have the flexibility for continued growth and responsible shareholder distributions, while also being committed to maintaining investment grade credit metrics.”
Third Quarter 2019 Comments
Third quarter 2019 operating income for the company’s steel operations was $240 million, or 19 percent lower than sequential second quarter 2019 results. The sequential earnings decline was driven by lower realized product pricing and decreased shipments in the company’s sheet steel operations, which more than offset the benefit of lower scrap costs in the quarter. The third quarter 2019 average external product selling price for the company’s overall steel operations decreased $70 sequentially to $809 per ton. The average ferrous scrap cost per ton melted at the company’s steel mills decreased $41 to $275 per ton.
The company’s steel processing locations represented 17 percent of the shipment mix in the third quarter 2019, compared to 16 percent in the sequential quarter and 12 percent in the prior year third quarter. These locations use steel products as their primary raw material, and the associated steel procurement costs represented 17 percent of the steel operations cost of goods sold in the third quarter 2019, 18 percent in the sequential quarter, and 9 percent in the prior year third quarter.
Third quarter 2019 operating income from the company’s metals recycling operations decreased to $3 million, compared to $11 million in the sequential second quarter, primarily as a result of the continued decline in aluminum demand and associated selling values. London Metal Exchange aluminum prices have declined more than 10 percent in 2019. Ferrous shipments and selling values also declined in the quarter, with prime scrap indices falling almost $30 per gross ton from July to September 2019.
Third quarter 2019 operating income from the company’s steel fabrication operations was a strong $35 million, or 15 percent higher than sequential second quarter results. Earnings improved as higher shipments and lower raw material steel input costs resulted in expanded profit margins. The steel fabrication platform’s order backlog remains strong, and customers remain optimistic concerning non-residential construction projects.
Year-to-Date September 30, 2019 Comparison
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income was $550 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, with net sales of $8.1 billion, as compared to net income of $988 million, or $4.17 per diluted share, with net sales of $8.9 billion for the same period in 2018. Net sales decreased nine percent, while operating income of $805 million decreased 41 percent from record high 2018 year-to-date results of $1.4 billion. The decline in earnings was driven by decreased sheet steel product pricing, as hot roll coil price indices fell approximately $185 per ton, or 25 percent, since December 2018.
Compared to prior year results, the average year-to-date external product selling price for the company's overall steel operations decreased $53 to $863 per ton. The average year-to-date ferrous scrap cost per ton melted at the company’s steel mills decreased $31 to $309 per ton.
The company generated strong cash flow from operations of $987 million, paid cash dividends of $148 million, and repurchased $292 million of its common stock during the first nine months of 2019.
Outlook
“Based on domestic steel demand fundamentals, we are constructive regarding 2020 North American steel market dynamics,” said Millett. “We believe North American steel consumption will experience modest growth and will be supported by further steel import reductions and the end of steel inventory destocking. We believe current trade actions could have a positive impact in further reducing unfairly traded steel imports into the United States, including coated flat roll steel, which could have a significant positive impact for Steel Dynamics, as we are the largest non-automotive flat roll steel coater in the United States.
“In combination with our existing and newly announced expansion initiatives, there are firm drivers in place for our continued growth. We are excited about our Sinton, Texas flat roll steel mill project, and the associated long-term value creation it will bring through geographic and value-added product diversification. This facility is designed to have product size and quality capabilities beyond that of existing electric-arc-furnace flat roll steel producers, competing even more effectively with the integrated steel model and foreign competition. We have targeted regional markets that represent over 27 million tons of relevant flat roll steel consumption, which includes the growing Mexican flat roll steel market. This facility is located and designed to have a meaningful competitive advantage in those regions.
“We are competitively positioned and remain focused on delivering long-term shareholder value creation through organic and transactional growth opportunities,” concluded Millett.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
