Borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility are secured by first-priority liens on all of the inventory, accounts receivables, lockbox accounts, and related assets of the borrowers and the guarantors.
The Ryerson Credit Facility also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict Ryerson Holding and its restricted subsidiaries with respect to the incurrence of debt, the creation of liens, transactions with affiliates, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets, and acquisitions. The Ryerson Credit Facility also requires that, if availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility declines to a certain level, Ryerson maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Ryerson Credit Facility contains events of default with respect to, among other things, default in the payment of principal when due or the payment of interest, fees, and other amounts due thereunder after a specified grace period, material misrepresentations, failure to perform certain specified covenants, certain bankruptcy events, the invalidity of certain security agreements or guarantees, material judgments, the occurrence of a change of control of Ryerson, and a cross-default to other financing arrangements. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Ryerson Credit Facility will be entitled to various remedies, including acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Ryerson Credit Facility and all other actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.
The lenders under the Ryerson Credit Facility could reject a borrowing request if any event, circumstance, or development has occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. If Ryerson Holding, JT Ryerson, any of the other borrowers, or any restricted subsidiaries of JT Ryerson becomes insolvent or commences bankruptcy proceedings, all amounts borrowed under the Ryerson Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable.
Net proceeds (repayments) of short-term borrowings that are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows represent borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility with original maturities less than three months.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In October 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) named JT Ryerson as one of more than 100 businesses that may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (the “PHS Site”).
The Allocation Team of the PCI Group will prepare a proposed Joint Preliminary Allocation Report (“JPAR”) relating to the allocation of costs among the PRPs. The current timeline projects that the final JPAR will be issued by the end of 2024, at which point a six-month mediation period will commence. All PRPs, including JT Ryerson, are expected to participate in this mediation process, during which the PRPs will attempt to agree on a final cost allocation.
10
The EPA has set forth its desire for a single overarching consent decree to be signed by all settling parties by the summer of 2025. This decree would include implementation of the various proposed remedial design plans, sequencing, and payment of costs for all work to be done at the site, and site-wide covenants not to sue. The EPA has also indicated that it anticipates that Special Notice Letters (“SNL”), which give PRPs information as to why the EPA thinks they are liable as well as clean-up plans, will be issued to PRPs between the end of 2023 and mid-2024.
The EPA has stated that it is willing to consider de minimis settlements, which JT Ryerson is trying to pursue; however, the EPA has not begun meeting with any of the smaller parties who have requested de minimis status, stating that it does not intend to begin those considerations until after the remedial design work is completed and the SNLs are issued. It has met with selected parties that we believe to be larger targets.
As the EPA has not yet allocated responsibility for the contamination among the potentially responsible parties, including JT Ryerson, we do not currently have sufficient information available to us to determine whether the ROD will be executed as currently stated, whether and to what extent JT Ryerson may be held responsible for any of the identified contamination, and how much (if any) of the final plan’s costs might ultimately be allocated to JT Ryerson. Therefore, management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or estimate a range of potential loss at this time.
There are various other claims and pending actions against the Company. The amount of liability, if any, for those claims and actions as of June 30, 2023, is not determinable but, in the opinion of management, such liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We maintain liability insurance coverage to assist in protecting our assets from losses arising from or related to activities associated with business operations.
NOTE 11: DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Derivatives
The Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to commodity price, foreign currency, and interest rate fluctuations and their related impact on expected future cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, Company policy, accounting considerations, or the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in commodity pricing, foreign currency exchange, or interest rates. Interest rate swaps may be entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating-rate borrowings. We use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge variability in cash flows in our Canada, Mexico, and China operations when a payment currency is different from our functional currency. From time to time, we may enter into fixed price sales contracts with our customers for certain of our inventory components. We may enter into metal commodity futures and options contracts to reduce volatility in the price of these metals. We may also enter into fixed price natural gas contracts and diesel fuel derivative contracts to manage the price risk of forecasted purchases of natural gas and diesel fuel.
At times we may have receive variable, pay fixed, interest rate swaps to manage the exposure to variable interest rates of the Ryerson Credit Facility. In June 2019, we entered into a forward agreement for $
The Company currently does not account for its commodity and foreign exchange derivative contracts as hedges but rather marks them to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings.
The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its derivative counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from the failure of any counterparties to perform under any agreements.

Fair Value Measurements
To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

The fair value of each commodity, diesel fuel, and interest rate swap derivative contract is determined using Level 2 inputs and the market approach valuation technique, as described in ASC 820. The Company has various commodity derivatives to lock in hot roll coil, nickel, aluminum, and diesel fuel prices for varying time periods. The fair value of hot roll coil, nickel, aluminum, and diesel fuel derivatives is determined based on the spot price each individual contract was purchased at and compared with the one-month daily average actual spot price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (hot roll coil and diesel fuel) and the London Metals Exchange (nickel and aluminum), respectively, for the commodity on the valuation date. In addition, the Company has numerous foreign exchange contracts to hedge variability in cash flows when a payment currency is different from our functional currency. The Company defines the fair value of foreign exchange contracts as the amount of the difference between the contracted and current market value at the end of the period. The Company estimates the current market value of foreign exchange contracts by obtaining month-end market quotes of foreign exchange rates and forward rates for contracts with similar terms. The Company uses the exchange rates provided by Reuters. Each commodity, diesel fuel, and foreign exchange contract term varies in the number of months, but in general, contracts are between
13
The estimated fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables less provisions, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt and the current portions thereof equal the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the underlying borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility which are typically for terms of 30 to 60 days. See the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 values of these assets and liabilities.

The Company’s performance obligations are typically short-term in nature. As a result, the Company has elected the practical expedient that provides an exemption of the disclosure requirements regarding information about remaining performance obligations on contracts that have original expected durations of
NOTE 14: PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Provisions for allowances and claims on accounts receivables and contract assets are based upon historical rates, expected trends, and estimates of potential returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. The Company considers all available information when assessing the adequacy of the provision for allowances, claims, and doubtful accounts.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and sets credit limits based upon review of the customers’ current credit information, payment history, and the current economic and industry environments. The Company’s credit loss reserve consists of two parts: a) a provision for estimated credit losses based on historical experience and b) a reserve for specific customer collection issues that the Company has identified. Estimation of credit losses requires adjusting historical loss experience for current economic conditions and judgments about the probable effects of economic conditions on certain customers.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the provision for credit losses reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023:

As required by ASC 740, the Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance when, based upon the evaluation of all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, we analyze, among other things, our recent history of earnings, the nature and timing of reversing book-tax temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and future income. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on certain foreign and U.S. federal deferred tax assets until such time as in management’s judgment, considering all available positive and negative evidence, the Company determines that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of some or all of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was $
The Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. We anticipate that certain statutes of limitation will close within the next twelve months resulting in the immaterial reduction of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits related to various intercompany transactions. No changes were recorded in the first six months of 2023, therefore, the balance of $
NOTE 16: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share attributable to Ryerson Holding’s common stock is determined based on earnings for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to Ryerson Holding’s common stock considers the effect of potential common shares, unless inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect. The weighted average number of shares excluded as they would have had an antidilutive effect were

In addition to our metals products, we offer numerous value-added processing and fabrication services, and nearly 80% of the metals products we sell are processed by us by bending, beveling, blanking, blasting, burning, cutting-to-length, drilling, embossing, flattening, forming, grinding, laser cutting, machining, notching, painting, perforating, polishing, punching, rolling, sawing, scribing, shearing, slitting, stamping, tapping, threading, welding, or other techniques to process materials to a specified thickness, length, width, shape, and surface quality pursuant to specific customer orders.
Similar to other metals service centers, we maintain substantial inventories of metals to accommodate the short lead times and just-in-time delivery requirements of our customers. Accordingly, we purchase metals to maintain our inventory at levels that we believe to be appropriate to satisfy the anticipated needs of our customers based upon customer forecasts, historic buying practices, supply agreements with customers, mill lead times, and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders. At the request of our customers, we have entered into swaps in order to mitigate our customers’ risk of volatility in the price of metals and we have entered into metals hedges to mitigate our own risk of volatility in the price of metals. We have no long-term, fixed-price metals purchase contracts. When metals prices decline, customer demands for lower prices and our competitors’ responses to those demands could result in lower sale prices and, consequently, lower gross profits and earnings as we sell existing metals inventory. When metals prices increase, competitive conditions will influence how much of the price increase we may pass on to our customers.
The metals service center industry is cyclical and volatile in both pricing and demand, and difficult to predict. In the first half of 2023, Ryerson experienced lower metals commodity prices compared to the first half of 2022, with average selling prices 18.4% lower. In the first half of 2022, average selling prices benefited from trade disruptions due the initial onset of the Russia-Ukraine war, which caused global demand to outpace supply availability as customers pulled forward demand in preparation for potential supply chain issues. In the first half of 2023, average selling prices normalized closer to long term averages. Changes in average selling prices are primarily driven by commodity metals prices, which impact Ryerson’s selling prices.
Key industry indicators showed slowing growth in the second quarter of 2023. This is evidenced by the Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”), which reported readings below the growth threshold of 50 in April, May, and June of 2023, indicating continued trend of contraction in the manufacturing sector since November 2022. U.S. Industrial Production indicated lower year-over-year increases in April and May before reporting a contraction in June, signifying slowing conditions for businesses in the industrial sector of the economy.

According to the Metal Service Center Institute, North American service center volumes increased by 4.2% in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022. On a North American basis, Ryerson performed lower than the industry with volumes declining 3.5% over the same period. On a quarterly sequential basis, industry volume contraction of 2.2% was less than Ryerson’s volume decrease of 5.8%. On a quarterly sequential basis, Ryerson end-market demand decreased in the Industrial Machinery & Equipment, HVAC, Food Processing and Agricultural equipment and Metal Fabrication & Machine Shop sectors but was partially offset by demand growth in the Construction Equipment and Oil & Gas sectors.

*A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP measure is included in the subsequent table.
Ryerson generated revenues of $2.7 billion in the first six months of 2023, a decrease of 21.3% compared to $3.5 billion for the first six months of 2022, with average selling prices 18.4% lower and tons shipped 3.5% lower. In the first six months of 2023, gross margin decreased to 19.1% compared to 25.1% for the first six months of 2022. Included in the first six months of 2023 cost of materials sold was LIFO income of $5.0 million, compared to LIFO income of $71.6 million in the first six months of 2022. Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation was $84.9 million, or earnings of $2.33 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2023 compared to net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $360.0 million, or income of $9.26 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2022.
To provide greater insight into the Company’s operating trends apart from the period’s one-time transactions, Ryerson provides adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share figures, which are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, to compliment the reported GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share figures. Management uses these metrics to assess year-over-year performance excluding non-recurring transactions. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or diluted earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Illustrated in the below table, the first six months of 2023 had no adjustments to net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $84.9 million, a decrease of $287.0 million compared to the year-ago adjusted net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation of $371.9 million which was adjusted by a loss on retirement of debt of $19.8 million and a gain on the sale of assets of $3.8 million and the associated income taxes.

Recent Developments
On February 24, 2023, the US government announced trade actions targeting goods and entities from Russia, which included a proclamation to impose 200% ad valorem tariffs on Russian-origin aluminum products and derivative products and other articles made from Russian primary aluminum or Russian aluminum castings. The duties will be imposed under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act ("Section 232") and cited by the White House due to (1) challenges faced by US aluminum producers in the face of high levels of aluminum imports and high energy prices; (2) recent increases in imports of aluminum from Russia, whose market is especially export-oriented, by 53 percent between March and July 2022; and (3) the fact that the Russian aluminum industry is a key part of Russia's defense industrial base. Ryerson has communicated to all vendors that we will not accept any Russian originating metal.
After the Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Biden administration issued executive orders prohibiting the importation of goods from covered regions related to Ukraine and Russia. Ryerson takes this very seriously and has reviewed our direct and indirect material purchases to ensure compliance. On April 8, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, which denies "most-favored nation" tariff treatment to products of Russia and Belarus and extends the President’s authority to impose sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. Beginning April 9, 2022, the Act imposes a 10.5% import duty on unalloyed primary aluminum and 11.0% on value-add aluminum products. The import duties are not expected to have a meaningful impact on the availability of aluminum for Ryerson. In 2023, the Company has not purchased material from Russia or the named Ukrainian regions and has no open purchases orders issued to Russian suppliers as of June 30, 2023.
On August 10, 2021, the Senate passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a $1.2 trillion bill which features $550 billion in new federal spending over 5 years. Included in this spending is investment in roads, bridges, and major projects, passenger and freight rail, electrical grid improvements, expansion of broadband access, transit systems, infrastructure for electric vehicles, and improvements to water systems. This bill was signed into law on November 15, 2021. The Company believes that the additional government spending on infrastructure projects under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act may generate additional demand for our products especially within the industrial equipment, construction, green energy, and transportation industries. Accordingly, we anticipate that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be beneficial to the Company, but ultimately the impact on the Company’s operations is unclear.
On April 22, 2021, the U.S. International Trade Commission (“USITC”) confirmed the Department of Commerce’s affirmative antidumping duty determinations and injury determinations regarding US imports of common alloy aluminum sheet. As a result, the USITC has issued final antidumping duty orders on U.S. imports of common alloy aluminum sheet from the following sixteen countries: Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey. Antidumping rates differ greatly depending on country of origin and producing mill and range from the low single digits to as high as 243%. Ryerson anticipates that the actions of the USITC will support the prices of domestically produced aluminum sheet and therefore benefit the Company’s average selling prices.
On March 1, 2018, the White House announced a 25% tariff on all imported steel products and 10% tariff on all imported aluminum products for an indefinite amount of time under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (“Section 232”). These tariffs, while in effect, have discouraged metal imports from non-exempt countries and have had a favorable impact on the prices of the products we sell and our results of operations. In October 2021, the US and European Union agreed to revise Section 232 tariffs applied to the import of European steel and aluminum, allowing for the duty-free import of European steel and aluminum into the US, subject to tariff rate quotas. Specifically, the tariff rate quota includes the duty-free import of 3.3 million metric tons of steel melted and poured in the European Union, 18 thousand metric tons of unwrought aluminum, and 366 thousand metric tons of semi-finished aluminum. The revision was applied on January 1, 2022. Tariff rate quotas have since been implemented for Japan and the United Kingdom at 1.25 million metric tons and 0.5 million metric tons, respectively. Effective dates for the revisions were April 1, 2022 for Japan and June 1, 2022 for the United Kingdom.
Components of Results of Operations
We generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of our metals products. The majority of revenue is recognized upon delivery of product to customers. The timing of shipment is substantially the same as the timing of delivery to customers given the proximity of our distribution sites to our customers. Revenues associated with products which we believe have no alternative use, and where the Company has an enforceable right to payment, are recognized on an over-time basis. Over-time revenues are recorded in proportion with the progress made toward completing the performance obligation.
Sales, cost of materials sold, gross profit, and operating expense control are the principal factors that impact our profitability.
Net sales. Our sales volume and pricing are driven by market demand, which is largely determined by overall industrial production and conditions in the specific industries in which our customers operate. Sales prices are also primarily driven by market factors such as overall demand and availability of product. Our net sales include revenue from product sales, net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives.
22
Cost of materials sold. Cost of materials sold includes metal purchase and in-bound freight costs, third-party processing costs, and direct and indirect internal processing costs. The cost of materials sold fluctuates with our sales volume and our ability to purchase metals at competitive prices. Increases in sales volume generally enable us to improve purchasing leverage with suppliers, as we buy larger quantities of metals inventories.
Gross profit. Gross profit is the difference between net sales and the cost of materials sold. Our sales prices to our customers are subject to market competition. Achieving acceptable levels of gross profit is dependent on our acquiring metals at competitive prices, our ability to manage the impact of changing prices, and efficiently managing our internal and external processing costs.
Operating expenses. Optimizing business processes and asset utilization to lower fixed expenses such as employee, facility, and truck fleet costs, which cannot be rapidly reduced in times of declining volume, and maintaining a low fixed cost structure in times of increasing sales volume, have a significant impact on our profitability. Operating expenses include costs related to warehousing and distributing our products as well as selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 decreased from the same periods a year ago due to lower average selling prices caused by lower commodity prices. Compared to the year ago periods, average selling price decreased for all of our product lines in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 with the largest decreases in our carbon flat, carbon plate, and stainless flat products. Tons sold decreased in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the year ago periods, for most of our product lines with the largest decreases in our stainless flat, stainless long, and carbon flat product lines partially offset by increases in aluminum plate, aluminum flat, and stainless plate tons sold.

The decrease in cost of materials sold in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year ago periods is primarily due to a decrease in average cost of materials sold per ton and to lower tons sold. The average cost of materials sold decreased across nearly all product lines with the largest decreases in our carbon flat, carbon plate, and carbon long product lines during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, LIFO income was $9.0 million compared to LIFO income of $73.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. During the first six months of 2023, LIFO income was $5.0 million compared to LIFO income of $71.6 million in the first six months of 2022.

Warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year ago periods with the largest impact from including expenses of companies acquired during 2022 and the first six months of 2023. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, which added $9.3 million to expenses in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, and $15.5 million to expenses in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, expenses changed in the following categories:

Our operating profit decreased in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the decrease in average selling prices and gross margins discussed above.

Interest and other expense on debt decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year ago period primarily due to the redemption and repurchase of $300.0 million principal amount of our 8.50% senior secured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) during 2022, bringing the outstanding principal balance to zero in July 2022. Partially offsetting the impact of the redemption and repurchase of the 2028 Notes was higher interest expense in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 due to a higher level of borrowings outstanding under our $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (“the Ryerson Credit Facility”) and to higher interest rates on credit facility borrowings compared to the year ago periods.
The other expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 is primarily related to foreign exchange losses. The other expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 includes a $14.5 million loss and a $19.8 million loss, respectively, on the repurchases of the 2028 Notes. In addition, the other expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 includes $0.7 million of foreign exchange losses.
26
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 24.4% in the second quarter of 2023 and 24.0% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 25.4% in the second quarter of 2022 and 25.3% in the first six months of 2022. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state and foreign income taxes partially offset by the effects of certain discrete items recorded during the periods.
Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share was $1.07 in the second quarter of 2023 and $2.38 in the first six months of 2023 compared to basic income per share of $5.20 in the second quarter of 2022 and $9.45 in the first six months of 2022. Diluted earnings per share was $1.06 in the second quarter of 2023 and $2.33 in the first six months of 2023 compared to diluted income per share of $5.10 in the second quarter of 2022 and $9.26 in the first six months of 2022. The changes in earnings per share are due to the results of operations discussed above as well as having fewer shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2023 and the first six months of 2023 after the repurchase from Platinum of 1,369,300 shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2023, 1,513,420 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2023, as well as the repurchase of 1,700,766 shares of common stock during 2022.
Liquidity and Cash Flows
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility. Our principal source of operating cash is from the sale of metals and other materials. Our principal uses of cash are for payments associated with the procurement and processing of metals and other materials inventories, costs incurred for the warehousing and delivery of inventories, the selling and administrative costs of the business, and capital expenditures.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $30.0 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $39.2 million at December 31, 2022. Our total debt outstanding at June 30, 2023 increased to $396 million compared to $367 million at December 31, 2022 due to the acquisition of BLP Holdings, LLC. We had a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 31% and 29% at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively. We had total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Ryerson Credit Facility and foreign debt facilities) of $790 million at June 30, 2023 versus $909 million at December 31, 2022. Our net debt (defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $366 million and $328 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Total liquidity and net debt are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. We believe that total liquidity provides additional information for measuring our ability to fund our operations. Total liquidity does not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and total liquidity is not necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. We believe that net debt provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s overall debt profile. Net debt should not be used as a substitute for total debt outstanding as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Of the total cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2023, $9.3 million was held in subsidiaries outside the U.S. which is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Ryerson does not currently foresee a need to repatriate earnings from its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Although Ryerson has historically satisfied needs for more capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances, Ryerson could elect to repatriate earnings held in foreign jurisdictions, which could result in higher effective tax rates. We have not recorded a deferred tax liability for the effect of a possible repatriation of these earnings as management intends to permanently reinvest these earnings outside of the U.S. Specific plans for reinvestment include funding for future international acquisitions and funding of existing international operations.

Operating activities. Working capital fluctuates throughout the year based on business needs. Working capital needs tend to be counter-cyclical, meaning that in periods of expansion the Company will use cash to fund working capital requirements, but in periods of contraction the Company will generate cash from reduced working capital requirements. In the first six months of 2023, working capital requirements decreased as inventory costs declined as market prices for metals decreased in the first six months of 2023. Revenue increased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 causing an increase in accounts receivable while material purchases were higher at the end of the second quarter of 2023 compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 resulting in an increase in accounts payable in the second quarter of 2023. In the first six months of 2022, average selling prices increased due to supply constraints and briefly, due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, which resulted in significantly higher operating profits which more than offset a build in working capital.
Investing activities. The Company's main investing activities are capital expenditures, acquisitions, and proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. Capital expenditures have increased year-over-year to $74.1 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $42.8 million in the first six months of 2022 as the Company purchased the BLP Holdings, LLC building subsequent to the acquisition and continued its investment in a new facility in University Park, Illinois, a project which began in 2022. In the first six months of 2023, the Company paid $39.9 million to acquire BLP Holdings, LLC and $9.7 million to purchase certain assets from ExOne Operating, LLC. The Company paid $5.8 million in the first six months of 2022 to acquire Apogee Steel Fabrication Incorporated and Ford Tool Steels, Inc. See Note 7: Acquisitions within Part I, Item I of this report, for further discussion of the 2023 acquisition. The Company sold property, plant, and equipment and assets held for sale generating cash proceeds of $7.2 million in the first six months of 2022.
Financing activities. The Company's main source of liquidity to fund working capital requirements is borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility. In the first six months of 2023, we increased credit facility borrowings to fund the acquisition of BLP Holdings, LLC and asset purchase from ExOne Operating, LLC. In the first six months of 2022, we repurchased and retired $250.0 million principal of our 2028 Notes, which was partially offset by an increase of $152.5 million in Credit Facility borrowings. Book overdrafts fluctuate based on the timing of payments. Cash dividends paid in the first six months of 2023 were $12.2 million compared to $8.5 million paid to shareholders in the first six months of 2022. We repurchased $103.6 million of common stock during the first six months of 2023 compared to $48.2 of common stock repurchased in the first six months of 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of business with customers, vendors, and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as letters of credit, which totaled $15 million as of June 30, 2023. We do not have any other material off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are not likely to have a material effect on our current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
28
Capital Resources
We believe that cash flow from operations and proceeds from the Ryerson Credit Facility will provide sufficient funds to meet our contractual obligations and operating requirements in the normal course of business.
Total debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet increased to $396.1 million at June 30, 2023 from $367.0 million at December 31, 2022, mainly due to increased borrowings to fund acquisitions.
Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023 consisted of the following amounts: $398.0 million borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility, $0.4 million of foreign debt, and $3.1 million of other debt, less $5.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. For further information, see Note 8: Long Term Debt in Part I, Item I - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension Funding
At December 31, 2022, pension liabilities exceeded plan assets by $73.0 million. Through the six months ended June 30, 2023, we have made $6.9 million in pension contributions and we anticipate an additional minimum required pension contribution of approximately $2.0 million in the remaining six months of 2023 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and Pension Protection Act in the U.S. and Ontario Pension Benefits Act in Canada. The expected future contributions reflect recent pension funding relief measures under the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) passed in March 2021. Future contribution requirements depend on the investment returns on plan assets, the impact of discount rates on pension liabilities, and changes in regulatory requirements. We are unable to determine the amount or timing of any such contributions required by ERISA or whether any such contributions would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flows.
Changes in returns on plan assets may affect our plan funding, cash flows, and financial condition. Differences between actual plan asset returns and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets impact the measurement of the following year’s pension expense and pension funding requirements. However, we believe that cash flow from operations and the Ryerson Credit Facility described above will provide sufficient funds to make the minimum required contributions.
Material Cash Requirements
The Company expects to make approximately $401.5 million in principal payments to satisfy its debt obligations, consisting of $0.4 million of foreign debt and $3.1 million of other debt coming due within a year, and $398.0 million for the Ryerson Credit Facility coming due in 2027. Please refer to Part I, Item I - Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8: Long-term Debt for further information.
The Company expects to pay approximately $26 million of interest on the Ryerson Credit Facility, foreign debt, and other debt over the next 12 months and $76 million thereafter. Interest payments related to the variable rate debt were estimated using the weighted average interest rate for the respective debt instrument.
The Company leases various assets including real estate, trucks, trailers, mobile equipment, processing equipment, and IT equipment. We have noncancelable operating leases expiring at various times through 2042, and finance leases expiring at various times through 2029. The total amount of future lease payments is estimated to be $431 million, with $46 million over the next 12 months. We did not have any leases signed but not yet commenced as of June 30, 2023.
Purchase obligations with suppliers are entered into when we receive firm sales commitments with certain of our customers. As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding purchase obligations of approximately $22 million expiring within a year.
Capital Expenditures
With the purchase of the BLP Holdings, LLC building, we have updated our anticipated annual capital expenditures to be $125 million for 2023, related to purchases geared towards highly accretive projects focused on strategic initiatives, IT infrastructure investment, and growth, along with maintenance, projects.
Income Taxes
We maintain a valuation allowance on certain foreign and U.S. federal deferred tax assets until such time as in management’s judgment, considering all available positive and negative evidence, and consistent with its past determinations, we determine that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable.
29
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary areas of market risk include changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. We continually monitor these risks and develop strategies to manage them.
Interest rate risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. We are exposed to market risk related to our fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have no publicly traded debt. The carrying value of our debt was $396.1 million and $367.0 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value approximates our fair value due to the short-term nature of the underlying borrowings on the Ryerson Credit Facility.
We may use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. As of June 30, 2023, we have no outstanding interest rate swaps.
Approximately 1% of our debt is at fixed interest rates as of June 30, 2023. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates on variable debt would have increased interest expense for the first six months of 2023 by approximately $2.3 million.
Foreign exchange rate risk
We are subject to foreign currency risks primarily through our operations in Canada, Mexico, and China and we use foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to currency price fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are principally used to purchase U.S. dollars. We had foreign currency contracts with a U.S. dollar notional amount of $3.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2023 and a fair value of $0.1 million. We do not currently account for these contracts as hedges but rather mark these contracts to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million loss associated with its foreign currency contracts. A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates underlying the foreign currency contracts from the market rate as of June 30, 2023 would increase or decrease the fair value of the foreign currency contracts by $0.3 million.
The currency effects of translating the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will not be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until there is a liquidation or sale of those foreign subsidiaries.
Commodity price risk
In general, we purchase metals in an effort to maintain our inventory at levels that we believe to be appropriate to satisfy the anticipated needs of our customers based upon historic buying practices, customer contracts, and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders.
Metal prices can fluctuate significantly due to several factors including changes in foreign and domestic production capacity, raw material availability, metals consumption, and foreign currency rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a limited portion of our exposure to fluctuations in the cost of certain commodities. No derivatives are held for trading purposes.
As of June 30, 2023, we had 16,985 tons of hot roll coil swap contracts with a net asset value of $0.6 million, 18,798 tons of aluminum swap contracts with a net liability value of $4.1 million, and 1,599 tons of nickel swap contracts with a net asset value of $6.8 million. We do not currently account for these swaps as hedges, but rather mark these contracts to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $7.1 million associated with its commodity derivatives.
A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the commodity prices underlying the commodity derivative contracts from the market rate as of June 30, 2023 would increase or decrease the fair value of commodity derivative contracts by $2.4 million.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
