Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures: The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation (Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit) are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or gross profit. They should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors a view to measures similar to those used in evaluating our compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit facilities and provide meaningful comparisons between current and prior year period results. They are also used as a metric to determine certain components of performance-based compensation. They are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations that may be obtained by the Company.

Impact of Tariffs – Work Closely with Customers to Optimize the Global Supply Chain In general, inflation is a positive for distribution companies Summary: Section 232 - effective 3/23/18. Tariffs & quotas substituted for tariffs, various countries affected differently Section 301 - tariffs affect certain valves, valve parts, fittings and flanges manufactured in China List 3 items (totaling $200B in products) will incur an additional 15% tariff (totaling 25%) beginning 3/2/19 Directly or indirectly impacts all stainless & carbon products including pipe, fittings and flanges Approx. 40% of revenue affected Inventory: Carbon ~70% domestic, 30% imported. Stainless~40% domestic, 60% imported. Valves are also being impacted by Chinese regulations, resulting in the closure of steel manufacturers and casting foundries. Actions lead to inflationary pricing & extended lead times 4Q18 average price of pipe is 24% greater than the 4Q17 average price (per Pipelogix) Impact: Contract structure – cost plus pricing with 90 day re-pricing terms Revenue – higher cost products from inflation result in higher revenue and higher LIFO expense Margin dollars – more expensive materials with the same percentage mark-up result in more margin dollars MRC Global is well-positioned with carbon, stainless and valve suppliers
Working Capital Management Focus on Optimizing Operations Target is ~20% working capital to sales ratio Increased working capital as a percentage of revenue early in 2018 due to an investment in inventory ahead of inflationary pricing pressures as well as growth in the business. Ended the year at target. Investments in working capital are weighted to higher margin products Optimizing Net Working Capital1 Working capital defined as Current Assets (excluding Cash) – Current Liabilities. Sales are on trailing twelve months basis. High operating leverage - SG&A as a percentage of sales is declining as sales increase and operating costs are controlled Achieved incremental adjusted EBITDA of 19.2% in 2018, the second year of incremental adjusted EBITDA well-above historical averages Actively Managing SG&A Costs Declining SG&A as % of Revenue Actively Managing Costs

Favorable Trends Lead to Continued Growth POSITIVE MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS Increased production in U.S. requiring additional oil & gas facility (e.g. tank battery) expansions and pipeline infrastructure Deregulation of new pipeline installations and multi-year investments in replacement pipeline for aging infrastructure & pipeline integrity projects Stable supply of low-cost natural gas providing secure feedstock for petrochemical processing along with increasing demand for plastics leads to higher petrochemical facility investment Favorable economics for gas-exporting pipelines to Mexico & Canada, LNG to rest of world Drilled but Uncompleted well (DUC) count represents backlog of future upstream completion revenue MRC GLOBAL Multi-year contract wins and renewals represent an increase in market share Higher margin product mix strategy Lower operating cost model provides a competitive advantage Results in mid-cycle Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $300M
