5 NOTE 3/RESTRUCTURING CHARGE In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $23.3 million. The charge is the result of realigning geographic divisions to improve responsiveness to local markets, exiting non-core businesses and centralizing administrative services to achieve economies of scale. Included in the charge is severance for 319 employees. As of March 31, 2001, there are no employees remaining to be separated from the Company as a result of the restructuring initiative. The balance related to employee costs at March 31, 2001 will be paid through mid-2002 pursuant to severance agreements with certain former employees. Details of the restructuring charge are as follows:
Restructuring Balance at (In millions) Charge Utilized March 31, 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Write-down of long-lived assets $ 9.3 $ 9.3 $ - Employee costs 7.4 6.3 1.1 Tenancy costs and other 6.6 1.4 5.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- $23.3 $17.0 $6.3
The restructuring actions were substantially completed by December 31, 2000. NOTE 4/ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION On March 29, 2001, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed arrangements for a $250 million 364-day trade receivables securitization facility with a group of financial institutions. The Company formed a special- purpose, wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary (Ryerson Tull Receivables LLC) for the sole purpose of buying receivables of certain subsidiaries of the Company and selling an undivided interest in all eligible trade accounts receivable to certain commercial paper conduits. This securitization facility includes substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable. Fundings under the facility are limited to the lesser of a funding base, comprised of eligible receivables, or $250 million. At March 31, 2001, the special purpose subsidiary had not yet initiated any financings under this securitization facility. Sales of accounts receivable will be reflected as a reduction of "receivables less provisions for allowances, claims and doubtful accounts" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the proceeds received will be included in cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Sales proceeds from the receivables will be less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount equal to a discount on sale that approximates the conduits' financing cost of issuing their own commercial paper, which is backed by their ownership interests in the accounts receivable sold by the special purpose subsidiary, plus an agreed margin. These costs will be charged to "other revenue and expense, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Generally, the facility provides that as payments are collected from the sold accounts receivable, the special purpose vehicle may elect to have the commercial paper conduits reinvest the proceeds in 6 interests in new accounts receivable. The commercial paper conduits, in addition to their rights to collect payments from that portion of the interests in the accounts receivable owned by them, also have rights to collect payments from that portion of the ownership interest in the accounts receivable that is owned by the special purpose vehicle. The facility, which expires March 28, 2002, requires the Company to comply with various customary affirmative or negative covenants and requires early amortization if the special-purpose subsidiary does not maintain a minimum equity requirement. The facility also terminates on the occurrence and failure to cure certain events, including, among other things, any failure of the special-purpose subsidiary to maintain certain ratios related to the collectability of the receivables, or the Company's failure to maintain long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least B by Standard and Poor's and B2 by Moody's. NOTE 5/DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," in the first quarter of 2001. The Company currently is not involved with derivative instruments or hedging activity as addressed in the Statement. In the past the Company had only limited involvement with hedges and did not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - Comparison of First Quarter 2001 to First Quarter 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the first quarter of 2001, the Company reported a consolidated net income of $1.3 million, or 5 cents per diluted share, as compared with net income of $11.0 million, or 44 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Included in the first quarter 2001 results was a pretax gain of $1.3 million on the sale of a facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Included in the first quarter 2000 results are plant closure charges of $4.5 million pretax and a $4.4 million pretax pension curtailment gain. Sales for the first quarter of 2001 decreased 19 percent to $638.1 million from the same period a year ago due to continued slowdown in the metal-using sector of the economy that started in the second half of 2000. Volume decreased 16 percent while average selling price decreased 3 percent. Gross profit margin increased from 21.1 percent a year ago to 21.4 percent in the current quarter. However, gross profit per ton declined to $177 in the first quarter of 2001 from $182 in the year-ago quarter due to the decline in average selling price. Expenses, defined as operating expenses plus depreciation and amortization, increased to $166 per ton in the first quarter of 2001 from $152 per ton in the first quarter of 2000 mainly due to decline in volume. Reflecting weakness in volume and selling price, operating profit per ton for the first quarter of 2001 declined to $11 per ton from $30 per ton a year ago. For the quarter, operating profit decreased 65 percent from the year ago period, from $26.9 million to $9.5 million. Liquidity and Financing - ------------------------ The Company had cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 of $24.6 million, compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding short-term borrowings of $47 million under the Company's $150 million credit facility and no outstanding fundings under its $250 million trade receivables facility. The Company has a committed bank revolving credit facility of $150 million that extends until September 5, 2002. The revolving credit agreement contains covenants that, among other things, limit the amount of dividends and stock repurchases and restrict the amount of additional debt. The maximum amount of dividend payments or share repurchases that could have been made under these restrictions as of March 31, 2001, was $65 million. The Company has a 364-day $250 million trade receivables securitization facility, in connection with which it formed a special-purpose subsidiary for the sole purpose of buying receivables of certain subsidiaries of the Company and selling an undivided interest in all eligible receivables to certain commercial paper conduits. Fundings under the facility are limited to the lesser of a funding base, comprised of eligible receivables, or $250 million. On April 2, 2001, the Company initiated financing under this securitization facility and received $200 million in fundings. The facility, which expires March 28, 2002, requires the Company to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The facility requires early amortization if the special-purpose subsidiary does not maintain a minimum equity requirement and terminates on the occurrence and failure to cure certain events, including, among other things, any failure of the special-purpose subsidiary to maintain certain ratios related to the collectability of the receivables and the Company's failure to maintain long-term 8 unsecured debt ratings of at least B by Standard and Poor's and B2 by Moody's. The indenture under which $250 million of debt was issued in 1996 ("RT Notes") contains covenants limiting, among other things, the creation of certain types of secured indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates and mergers, consolidations and certain sales of assets. In addition, the RT Notes restrict the payment of dividends, although to a lesser extent than the bank credit facility described above. Subsequent Event - ---------------- As a condition of completing the ISC/Ispat Transaction, Ispat, ISC and the Company entered into an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") to provide certain financial commitments to reduce the underfunding of the ISC Pension Plan on a termination basis. These obligations include a guaranty of $50 million to the PBGC in the event of a distress or involuntary termination of the ISC Pension Plan. The agreement also requires the Company to securitize its guarantee in the event of a downgrade of the Company's unsecured debt rating below specified levels. On May 1, 2001, Moody's Investors Services reduced its rating on such unsecured debt to Ba3. The Company is currently in discussions with the PBGC to determine the type of securitization, such as a letter of credit or other, that would be acceptable. 9 PART II.
