Steel Dynamics Reports Fourth Quarter and
Annual 2019 Results
FORT WAYNE, INDIANA, January 22, 2020 / PRNewswire /
Annual 2019 Performance:
| § | Record steel shipments of 10.8 million tons and record steel fabrication shipments of 644,000 tons |
| § | Net sales of $10.5 billion, the company’s second-best performance |
| § | Operating income of $987 million and net income of $671 million, the company’s third-best performance |
| § | Cash flow from operations of $1.4 billion and EBITDA of $1.3 billion, the company’s second-best and third-best performances, respectively |
| § | Achieved Investment grade credit rating designation, and successfully executed inaugural notes offering |
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today announced fourth quarter and annual 2019 financial results. The company reported fourth quarter 2019 net sales of $2.4 billion and net income of $121 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. Excluding the impact from the following items, the company’s fourth quarter adjusted net income was $134 million, or $0.62 per diluted share:
| § | Financing costs related to the company’s December 2019 refinancing activities of approximately $4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and |
| § | Lower earnings resulting from two planned annual maintenance outages at the company’s Butler and Columbus flat roll divisions, causing higher than normal maintenance and associated costs of approximately $15 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. The outages also reduced flat roll steel shipments by an estimated 70,000 tons to 80,000 tons, further reducing fourth quarter earnings. |
Comparatively, prior year fourth quarter net sales were $2.9 billion, with net income of $270 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, which included lower earnings from planned facility outages of $0.10 per diluted share, and additional performance-based compensation of $0.04 per diluted share. Sequential third quarter 2019 net sales were $2.5 billion, with net income of $151 million, or $0.69 per diluted share.
“The team delivered a strong 2019 operational and financial performance in a challenging steel pricing environment, achieving our third-best annual earnings performance and numerous operational records, including record annual steel and fabrication shipments,” said Mark D. Millett, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We performed at the top of our industry throughout the year. We achieved operating income of $987 million with EBITDA of $1.3 billion. With near record 2019 cash flow generation of $1.4 billion, we achieved record liquidity of $2.8 billion, while at the same time growing our business through both organic and transactional growth investments, maintaining a positive cash dividend profile, and executing on our share repurchase program. In recognition of our growth, strong balance sheet profile and consistent free cash flow generation capability, we also achieved investment grade credit designations from three credit rating agencies. We have a firm foundation for our continued long-term, strategic growth and value creation.
“Even though 2019 was one of our best years, it was challenged with high customer steel inventories, as many customers purchased beyond normal demand levels in 2018,” continued Millett. “Domestic steel demand remained steady in 2019, but as customers began to destock inventories, steel prices declined throughout the year, and firmed in the fourth quarter, as destocking subsided and inventory levels were right-sized. As a result, operating income from our steel operations was $1.0 billion in 2019, compared to a record $1.9 billion in 2018. Ferrous scrap prices also declined in eight of the past twelve months during 2019, resulting in our metals recycling operations earning $28 million in 2019, compared to $88 million last year.
“Looking ahead, steel customer inventory levels have moderated, and underlying domestic steel demand remains intact for the primary steel consuming sectors, including automotive and construction. Customers have been positive concerning the business outlook for 2020. Additionally, our fabrication platform has an order backlog that is even stronger entering 2020 than it was at this time last year, and fabrication customer sentiment remains optimistic, a positive growth indication for non-residential construction projects. Our fabrication operations achieved record shipments in 2019, and operating income of $119 million, almost double last year’s performance,” stated Millett.
Fourth Quarter 2019 Comments
Fourth quarter 2019 operating income for the company’s steel operations was $201 million, or 16 percent lower than sequential third quarter results, based on two planned steel mill outages, seasonally lower shipments and metal spread compression. The company completed significant planned maintenance outages at both its Butler and Columbus Flat Roll divisions, which increased costs by an estimated $15 million and reduced flat roll shipments during the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter 2019 average external product selling price for the company’s steel operations decreased $45 sequentially to $764 per ton. The average ferrous scrap cost per ton melted at the company’s steel mills decreased $32 sequentially to $243 per ton.
Monthly prime scrap indices declined approximately $35 per gross ton on average from October through December, compared to July through September 2019. In concert, the company’s metals recycling platform’s average ferrous scrap selling price declined $28 per gross ton and shipments were seasonally 6% lower sequentially, resulting in an operating loss of $5 million, compared to an operating profit of $3 million in the third quarter 2019.
Fourth quarter 2019 operating income from the company’s steel fabrication operations was $33 million, remaining steady with strong sequential earnings of $35 million. Record quarterly shipments substantially offset the impact of marginal average price declines. The steel fabrication platform’s order backlog remains strong, and customers remain optimistic concerning construction activity.
The company generated strong fourth quarter 2019 cash flow from operations of $409 million and executed its inaugural investment grade notes offering. The company issued $400 million of 2.800% notes due 2024 and $600 million of 3.450% notes due 2030, using the proceeds to repay $700 million of its existing 5.125% senior notes due 2021 and for other general corporate purposes. These transactions extended the company's overall debt maturity profile and will reduce annual interest costs.
Annual 2019 Comparison
Annual 2019 net income was $671 million representing the company’s third-best annual performance, or $3.04 per diluted share, with net sales of $10.5 billion, as compared to record 2018 net income of $1.3 billion, or $5.35 per diluted share, with net sales of $11.8 billon. Annual 2019 net sales declined 11 percent, while operating income of $987 million decreased 43 percent from record high 2018 results of $1.7 billion. The decline in revenues was primarily caused by declining steel prices related to customer inventory destocking that occurred throughout the year, and more than offset the benefit of the company’s 2019 record annual steel and fabrication shipments. The decline in earnings was driven by lower average flat roll steel selling values, as average 2019 annual prime hot roll coil price indices decreased approximately $229 per ton, or 28 percent when compared to 2018, resulting in significant metal margin compression.
Compared to 2018, the average 2019 external product selling price for the company’s overall steel operations decreased $83 to $839 per ton. The average 2019 ferrous scrap cost per ton melted at the company’s steel mills decreased $48 to $293 per ton.
During 2019, the company increased value-added shipments from its steel processing locations, representing 15 percent of the total steel shipments, compared to 10 percent in 2018. These locations use steel products as their primary raw material, and the associated steel procurement costs represented over 16 percent of the company’s steel operations cost of goods sold in 2019, compared to 12 percent in 2018.
The company generated its second-best annual cash flow from operations of $1.4 billion, paid cash dividends of $200 million, and repurchased $349 million, or five percent of its outstanding common stock during 2019.
Outlook
“Based on domestic steel demand fundamentals, we are constructive regarding 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 recent and possible 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. The team began site work in the second half of 2019, and we are excited to announce that we recently received the required environmental permitting to allow for full construction efforts to begin, with current plans to commence operations mid-year 2021.
“Our differentiated business model and performance-driven culture clearly demonstrate our through-cycle earnings capability. We continue to strengthen our financial position through consistent strong cash flow generation and the execution of our long-term strategy. We are competitively positioned and remain focused on delivering long-term value creation for all of our stakeholders,” concluded Millett.
