NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for presentation of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (“Reliance,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The ownership of the other interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we purchased the remaining
Note 2. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Adopted
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses—In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance that changes how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, including the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables, and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting change did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes—In December 2019, the FASB issued accounting changes that simplify the accounting for income taxes as part of the FASB’s overall initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, or January 1, 2021 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued accounting changes that provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The accounting changes may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company expects to adopt this guidance for any contracts that are modified as a result of reference rate reform. We are continuing
6
to evaluate which contracts may be impacted by reference rate reform, but believe our use of these accounting changes will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Acquisitions
2019 Acquisition
On December 31, 2019, we acquired Fry Steel Company (“Fry Steel”). Fry Steel is a general line and long bar distributor located in Santa Fe Springs, California. Fry Steel performs cutting services on its diverse product assortment and provides “in-stock” next day delivery of its products. Sales of Fry Steel were $
We funded our 2019 acquisition of Fry Steel with borrowings on our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
The allocation of the total purchase price of our acquisition of Fry Steel to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:
(in millions) | ||
Cash | $ | |
Accounts receivable | | |
Inventories | | |
Property, plant and equipment | | |
Goodwill | | |
Intangible assets subject to amortization | | |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization | | |
Other current and long-term assets | | |
Total assets acquired | | |
Other current and long-term liabilities | | |
Total liabilities assumed | | |
Net assets acquired | $ | |
The purchase price allocation for our acquisition of Fry Steel is pending the completion of purchase price adjustments, based on the completion of pre-acquisition period tax returns.
The acquisition of Fry Steel has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at December 31, 2019. The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the revenues and expenses of Fry Steel since its acquisition date. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the allocation of Fry Steel’s purchase price as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The measurement periods for purchase price allocations do not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date.
As part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Fry Steel, $

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Contingencies
We are currently involved with an environmental remediation project related to activities at former manufacturing operations of Earle M. Jorgensen Company (“EMJ”), our
subsidiary, that were sold many years prior to our acquisition of EMJ in 2006. Although the potential cleanup costs could be significant, EMJ maintained insurance policies during the time it owned the manufacturing operations that have covered costs incurred to date, and are expected to continue to cover the majority of the related costs. We do not expect that this obligation will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Legal Matters
From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions. Generally, these actions arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to the business. We expect that these matters will be resolved without having a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We maintain general liability insurance against risks arising in the ordinary course of business.
COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The duration and severity of the outbreak and its long-term impact on our business are uncertain at this time. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic increase uncertainty. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may be subject to greater volatility than in the past.

The 2020 property, plant and equipment and restructuring – cost of sales charges relate to the closure of certain locations where we anticipated losses on the disposition of certain real property, machinery and equipment and inventories. The measurement of the intangible assets at fair value was determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The use of discounted cash flow models requires significant judgment and requires the use of inputs by management that are unobservable, including revenue forecasts, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s expectations of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the eventual recovery of the oil and natural gas and aerospace industries based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Overview
Our financial results in the third quarter of 2020 continued to demonstrate the strength and resiliency of our business model despite the challenging economic circumstances experienced during the period.
15
Certain key financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included the following (dollars are shown in millions):
● | Net sales of $2.09 billion in the third quarter of 2020, down $600.3 million, or 22.4%, from $2.69 billion in the third quarter of 2019. Net sales of $6.68 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, down $1.85 billion, or 21.7%, from $8.53 billion in the same period in 2019; |
● | Gross profit margin of 32.4% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 30.3% in the third quarter of 2019. Our third quarter of 2020 gross profit margin of 32.4% equaled our quarterly record set in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit margin of 31.0% (or 31.6%, excluding the impact of $39.6 million of restructuring charges) in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 29.7% in the same period in 2019; |
● | Pretax income of $127.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, down $91.4 million, or 41.8%, from $218.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. Pretax income of $312.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, down $407.6 million, or 56.6%, from $719.7 million in the same period in 2019. Pretax income margins of 6.1% and 4.7% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 8.1% and 8.4% in the same periods in 2019, respectively. Pretax income in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $31.0 million and $178.9 million of non-recurring charges, respectively, that decreased our pretax income margins 1.5 and 2.7 percentage points, respectively; and |
● | Earnings per diluted share of $1.51 for the third quarter of 2020, down $0.89, or 37.1%, from $2.40 in the third quarter of 2019. Earnings per diluted share of $3.66 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, down $4.24, or 53.7%, from $7.90 in the same period in 2019. The impairment and restructuring charges and other non-recurring items noted above decreased earnings per diluted share by $0.36 and $2.05 in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. |
Our net sales were lower in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 due to lower tons sold and lower average selling prices per ton sold as a result of the impacts of COVID-19 on nearly all of the end markets we serve.
We experienced improving demand in nearly all of the end markets we serve in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020 as the economy continued to slowly reopen following COVID-19-related shutdowns and project delays.
Demand for the toll processing services we provide to the automotive market rebounded significantly with our toll processing volumes increasing 81.5% in the third quarter of 2020 from the lows experienced in the second quarter of 2020, as many automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and steel and aluminum mills supplying the automotive industry re-opened following COVID-19-related shutdowns. Despite normal seasonal customer shutdowns and vacation schedules in the third quarter of 2020, we saw improved demand levels in most of our other end markets, with the most notable strength in non-residential construction, our largest end market, during the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 as the economy continued to slowly re-open following COVID-19-related shutdowns and project delays. However, the commercial aerospace market, which represents about half of our aerospace end market exposure, declined further in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020 as reduced air travel persisted and commercial airplane build rates remained at low levels. Demand in the other segments of the aerospace market we serve, which include military, defense and space, remained strong. As a result of the continuing decline in commercial airplane build rates that informed our negative outlook for certain of our businesses that serve the commercial aerospace market, we closed some facilities, further reduced our workforce, and recorded impairment and restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2020.
Our strong gross profit margins in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were supported by our investments in value-added processing equipment during the past several years and the outstanding performance by our managers in the field who, despite the challenging circumstances, continued to maintain pricing discipline by focusing on specialty products and higher margin orders.
16
In the third quarter of 2020, we strengthened our liquidity position and extended our debt maturity profile through a $900.0 million senior notes offering and amendment and restatement of our $1.5 billion credit agreement. We used a portion of the proceeds from the notes offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loan. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings on our credit agreement and a net debt-to-total capital ratio of 17.3%, down significantly from 21.4% as of December 31, 2019, and significantly below our historical range of 30% to 40%.
Our same-store SG&A expense in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 declined $74.0 million, or 14.3%, and $186.5 million, or 11.8%, respectively, from the same periods in 2019 mainly due to our temporary and permanent workforce reduction actions in response to lower demand levels and decreases in incentive compensation attributable to COVID-19. Our same-store SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales during the 2020 periods increased from the 2019 periods due to our lower sales levels.
During the third quarter of 2020, we recorded impairment and restructuring charges of $14.6 million mainly related to continued COVID-19 downsizing at certain of our businesses, our revised negative outlook for certain businesses serving the commercial aerospace market and planned facility closures. See Note 13 — “Impairment and Restructuring Charges” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our 2020 impairment and restructuring charges.
In the third quarter of 2020, we increased our 2020 capital expenditure budget from approximately $190 million to approximately $270 million in response to opportunities to better serve our customers, including the expansion of our tolling capabilities, and to maintain and upgrade our metal processing equipment. As a result of our quick actions in response to the pandemic, we generated strong cash flow from operations during the first nine months of 2020 of $942.8 million, which was slightly less than the $954.1 million we generated in the same period of the prior year, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures of $134.7 million) of $808.1 million that increased $36.8 million, or 4.8%, from $771.3 million in first nine months of 2019. We also remain committed to concurrently making investments that support the long-term growth and sustainability of our company as well as continuing to provide returns to our stockholders. We believe our sources of liquidity and access to capital markets will continue to be adequate for the foreseeable future to maintain operations, finance strategic growth initiatives, pay dividends, and execute opportunistic purchases under our share repurchase program.
We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of future impacts of COVID-19 on our business, but given the dynamic nature of these unprecedented circumstances, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of operations, and overall financial performance.
We believe that our broad end market exposure, diverse product offerings, focus on small order sizes, when-needed delivery and significant value-added processing capabilities along with our wide geographic footprint will enable us to persevere during these difficult and uncertain times. We believe that these business model characteristics combined with pricing discipline and our strategy of concentrating on higher margin business differentiate us from our industry peers and will allow us to continue achieving industry-leading results.

Acquisitions
2020 Acquisition
On March 31, 2020, Feralloy Corporation (our wholly-owned subsidiary), purchased the remaining 49% noncontrolling interest in Feralloy Processing Company (“FPC”), a toll processor in Portage, Indiana, that increased Feralloy Corporation’s ownership in FPC from 51% to 100%. We have consolidated the results of FPC since August 1, 2008, when we acquired PNA Group Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries. The difference between the $8.0 million consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest with a carrying amount of $1.1 million was recognized as a decrease in total Reliance stockholders’ equity.
17
We funded our 2020 acquisition of FPC with borrowings on our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
2019 Acquisition
On December 31, 2019, we acquired Fry Steel Company (“Fry Steel”). Fry Steel is a general line and long bar distributor located in Santa Fe Springs, California. Fry Steel performs cutting services on its diverse product assortment and provides “in-stock” next day delivery of its products. Sales of Fry Steel were $60.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
We funded our 2019 acquisition of Fry Steel with borrowings on our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

(2) | Gross profit, calculated as net sales less cost of sales, and gross profit margin, calculated as gross profit divided by net sales, are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the corresponding sales. About half of our orders are basic distribution with no processing services performed. For the remainder of our sales orders, we perform “first-stage” processing, which is generally not labor intensive as we are simply cutting the metal to size. Because of this, the amount of related labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, is not significant and is excluded from our cost of sales. Therefore, our cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the material we sell. We use gross profit and gross profit margin as shown above as measures of operating performance. Gross profit and gross profit margin are important operating and financial measures, as their fluctuations can have a significant impact on our earnings. Gross profit and gross profit margin, as presented, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies. |

Same-store amounts exclude the results of our 2019 acquisition.
Tons sold exclude the processing volumes at our tolling operations.
Our net sales were lower in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 due to lower tons sold and lower average selling prices per ton sold.
Our same-store tons sold decreased 13.2% and 11.7% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, despite one additional shipping day in the 2020 nine-month period, due to the significant decline in demand for the products we sell as a result of COVID-19.
Demand in the automotive end market (which we serve primarily through our toll processing operations in the U.S. and Mexico) rebounded significantly in the third quarter of 2020 as automotive OEMs and steel and aluminum mills continued to increase production following COVID-19-related shutdowns in the second quarter of 2020. Demand in non-residential construction (including infrastructure), our largest end market served, continued to grow slowly in the third quarter of 2020 due to new projects and continuation of projects that had been previously put on hold. In the aerospace end market, demand in the military, defense and space portions of the market remained strong; however commercial aerospace demand continued to decline as a direct result of reduced air travel due to COVID-19. Demand in heavy industry for both agricultural and construction equipment were at levels consistent with the second quarter of 2020 and production schedules in some areas have steadily increased following customer re-openings from COVID-19-related shutdowns. Demand for the products we sell to the energy (oil and natural gas) end market remained under considerable pressure during the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, our tons sold increased 5.9% compared to the second quarter of 2020. However, our third quarter of 2020 same-store tons sold were still down 12.6% and 13.2% compared to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively. Our tons sold are expected to decline in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2020 due to normal seasonal factors, including fewer shipping days; however, based on current trends, we expect overall demand in the fourth quarter of 2020 to slowly improve.
19
Since we primarily purchase and sell our inventories in the “spot” market, the changes in our average selling prices generally fluctuate in accordance with the changes in the costs of the various metals we purchase. The mix of products sold can also have an impact on our average selling prices.
Our same-store average selling price per ton sold declined in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019, mainly due to mill price decreases on many of the carbon steel products we sell. In addition, the decline in our same-store average selling price per ton sold in third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was due to shifts in our product mix with sales of higher-priced products to the commercial aerospace market representing a smaller percentage of our tons sold in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Our same-store average selling price per ton sold has declined sequentially for the past eight quarters. As carbon steel sales represent approximately 51% of our gross sales dollars, changes in carbon steel prices have the most significant impact on changes in our overall average selling price per ton sold.
Our major commodity selling prices changed year-over-year as follows:

The decreases in cost of sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 are mainly due to lower tons sold and lower average costs per ton sold. See “Net Sales” above for trends in both demand and costs of our products.
Cost of sales included ($0.2) million and $39.6 million net inventory provisions relating to the planned closure of certain operations in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. See Note 13 — “Impairment and Restructuring Charges” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our 2020 restructuring charges.
In addition, our last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method inventory valuation reserve adjustment, which is included in cost of sales and, in effect, reflects cost of sales at current replacement costs, resulted in credits, or income, of $12.5 million and $37.5 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to credits, or income, of $40.0 million and $75.0 million in the same periods in 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020, our LIFO reserve was $100.1 million.

Our strong gross profit margin continues to benefit from the increases in the percentage of our orders that include value-added processing supported by our ongoing investments in processing equipment in recent years. The ($0.2) million and $39.6 million net inventory provisions in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, reduced our gross profit margin 0.6 percentage points in the nine-month period. See “Net Sales” and “Cost of Sales” above for further discussion on product pricing trends and our LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, respectively.

Same-store amounts exclude the results of our 2019 acquisition.
Our same-store SG&A expenses were lower in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 mainly due to decreases in incentive compensation related to lower profitability levels, lower employee-related expenses due to temporary and permanent workforce reductions in response to lower activity levels due to COVID-19 and decreases in certain warehouse and delivery expenses that were lower due to our lower tons sold that offset the impact of general inflation. Our SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the 2020 periods compared to the same periods in 2019 due to our lower sales levels.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $67.8 million of impairment charges on our intangibles with indefinite lives and $30.7 million of impairment charges on our long-lived assets. See Note 13 — “Impairment and Restructuring Charges” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our 2020 impairment charges.

The decreases in our operating income in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 were mainly due to lower gross profit, resulting from significantly lower sales levels offset by higher gross profit margins, and impairment and restructuring charges that were partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. The decreases in our operating income margins in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 were due to our significantly lower sales levels that increased our SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales, despite significant decreases in our SG&A expenses, and impairment and restructuring charges that were partially offset by higher gross profit margins. Impairment and restructuring charges of $14.6 million and $157.7 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reduced our operating margins 0.7 and 2.4 percentage points, respectively. See Note 13 — “Impairment and Restructuring Charges” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our 2020 impairment and restructuring charges.

Interest expense was lower in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower interest rates on decreased borrowing levels on our term loan and revolving credit facility. See Note 7 — “Debt” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our third quarter of 2020 issuance of unsecured debt securities, the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement, and the interest rates on our borrowings.
The changes in other expense, net in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 were mainly due to postretirement benefit plan settlement charges of $14.6 million and $19.4 million in the respective 2020 periods.
Income Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rates for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were 22.6% and 22.5%, respectively, compared to 25.0% for the comparable 2019 periods. The declines in our effective income tax rates were mainly due to our lower income levels. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal
22
statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state income taxes partially offset by the effects of company-owned life insurance policies.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s share of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business and results of operations.

The decrease in our net income and net income margins in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 were mainly due to our decreased operating income and operating income margins, as discussed above, offset by lower effective income tax rates. Impairment and restructuring charges and other non-recurring expenses in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 lowered our net income margins by 1.1% and 2.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operations of $942.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased slightly from $954.1 million in the same period in 2019. Our relatively flat operating cash flow was mainly the result of our lower net income offset by increases in non-cash impairment of long-lived asset charges and decreased working capital investment (primarily accounts receivable and inventory less accounts payable) in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. To manage our working capital, we focus on our days sales outstanding and on our inventory turnover rate, as receivables and inventory are the two most significant elements of our working capital. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, our days sales outstanding rate was 42.4 days and 42.5 days, respectively. Our inventory turn rate (based on tons) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.7 times (or 2.6 months on hand), compared to 4.4 times (or 2.7 months on hand) for the same period in 2019.
Income taxes paid were $68.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a significant decrease from $173.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is mainly due to the utilization of tax overpayments for the 2019 tax year that lowered taxes paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and lower estimated taxable income for 2020 compared to 2019.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $127.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $171.9 million used in the same period in 2019 and was substantially comprised of our capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $134.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $182.8 million in the same period in 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, we increased our 2020 capital expenditure budget from approximately $190 million to approximately $270 million in response to opportunities to better service our customers. The majority of our 2020 and 2019 capital expenditures related to growth initiatives.
23
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $394.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased significantly from $738.8 million net cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, mainly due to our third quarter of 2020 issuance of unsecured debt securities offset by increased share repurchases. Net debt borrowings in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $59.0 million compared to net debt repayments of $562.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, net proceeds of $891.7 million from our issuance of $900.0 million of unsecured debt securities were partially used to repay $735.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our existing credit agreement as of June 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased a total $300.2 million of our common stock compared to $50.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
On October 20, 2020, our Board of Directors declared the 2020 fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.625 per share. We have increased our quarterly dividend 27 times since our IPO in 1994, with the most recent increase of 13.6% from $0.55 per share to $0.625 per share effective in the first quarter of 2020. We have never reduced or suspended our dividend and have paid regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders for 61 consecutive years.
On October 23, 2018, our Board of Directors amended our share repurchase plan, increasing the total authorized number of shares available to be repurchased by 5.0 million and extending the duration of the plan through December 31, 2021. In the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased 2,466 shares at an average cost of $100.00 per share, for a total of $0.2 million, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares at an average cost of $90.10, for a total of $300.2 million. As of September 30, 2020, we had authorization under the plan to repurchase approximately 3.1 million shares, or about 5% of our current outstanding shares. From the inception of the plan in 1994 through September 30, 2020, we have repurchased approximately 32.5 million shares at an average cost of $47.58 per share. We expect to continue to be opportunistic in our approach to repurchasing shares of our common stock.
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are funds generated from operations, cash on hand and our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Our total outstanding debt at September 30, 2020 was $1.66 billion, compared to $1.60 billion at December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, $37.1 million of letters of credit issued and $1.46 billion available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2020, we had $591.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and our net debt-to-total capital ratio (net debt-to-total capital is calculated as total debt, net of cash, divided by total Reliance stockholders’ equity plus total debt, net of cash) was 17.3%, down significantly from 21.4% as of December 31, 2019.
On September 3, 2020, we entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated our existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2020, borrowings under the Credit Agreement were available at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.25% or the bank prime rate plus 0.25% and we pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable margins over LIBOR and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty.
A revolving credit facility with a credit limit of $8.0 million is in place for an operation in Asia with an outstanding balance of $5.2 million and $4.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Capital Resources
On November 20, 2006, we entered into an indenture (the “2006 Indenture”) for the issuance of $600.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance was comprised of (a) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, which matured and were repaid on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036.
24
On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the “2013 Indenture”) for the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023.
On August 3, 2020, we entered into an indenture (the “2020 Indenture” and, together with the 2013 Indenture and 2016 Indenture, the “Indentures”) for the issuance of $900.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance was comprised of (a) $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 1.30% per annum, maturing on August 15, 2025 and (b) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 2.15% per annum, maturing on August 15, 2030.
Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. If we experience a change in control accompanied by a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Various industrial revenue bonds had combined outstanding balances of $8.6 million as of September 30, 2020 and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2019, and have maturities through 2027.
As of September 30, 2020, we had $912.7 million of debt obligations coming due before our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility expires on September 2, 2025.
We believe that we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to fund our future operating needs and to repay our debt obligations as they become due. In addition to funds generated from operations and funds available under our revolving credit facility, we expect to continue to be able to access the capital markets to raise funds, if desired. We have taken steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We believe our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to maintain operations, make necessary capital expenditures, finance strategic growth through acquisitions and internal initiatives, pay dividends and opportunistically repurchase shares. Additionally, based on current market conditions, we believe our investment grade credit rating enhances our ability to effectively raise capital, if needed. We expect to continue our acquisition and other growth and stockholder return activities and anticipate that we will be able to fund such activities as they arise.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse effect on our net sales and pretax income. Future decreases in cash flow from operations would decrease the cash available for the capital uses described above, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, repayment of debt, share repurchases and acquisitions. However, since the ultimate severity and length of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown, we cannot predict the impact it will have on our customers and suppliers and on the debt and equity capital markets, and we cannot estimate the ultimate impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.
Covenants
The Credit Agreement and the Indentures include customary representations, warranties, covenants, acceleration, indemnity and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, two financial maintenance covenants that require us to comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Our interest coverage ratio for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020 was 12.4 times compared to the debt covenant minimum requirement of 3.0 times (interest coverage ratio is calculated as earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), as defined in the Credit Agreement, divided by interest expense). Our leverage ratio as of September 30, 2020, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, was 25.9% compared to the debt covenant maximum amount of 60% (leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of finance lease obligations and outstanding letters of credit, minus the lesser of cash held by our domestic subsidiaries and $200.0 million, divided by Reliance stockholders’ equity plus total debt).
We were in compliance with all financial covenants in our Credit Agreement at September 30, 2020.
25
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which are typically established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were contingently liable under standby letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $28.4 million. The letters of credit relate to insurance policies and construction projects.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
We had no material changes in commitments for capital expenditures or purchase obligations as of September 30, 2020, as compared to those disclosed in our table of contractual obligations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Inflation
Our operations have not been, and we do not expect them to be, materially affected by general inflation. Historically, we have been successful in adjusting prices to our customers to reflect changes in metal prices.
Seasonality
Some of our customers are in seasonal businesses, especially customers in the construction industry and related businesses. However, our overall operations have not shown any material seasonal trends as a result of our geographic, product and customer diversity. Typically, revenues in the months of July, November and December have been lower than in other months because of a reduced number of working days for shipments of our products, resulting from holidays observed by the Company as well as vacation and extended holiday closures at some of our customers. Reduced shipping days also have a significant impact on our profitability. Particularly in light of COVID-19, we cannot predict whether period-to-period fluctuations will be consistent with historical patterns. Results of any one or more quarters are therefore not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $1.92 billion at September 30, 2020, or approximately 24% of total assets and 38% of total equity. Additionally, other intangible assets, net amounted to $955.8 million at September 30, 2020, or approximately 12% of total assets and 19% of total equity. Goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests and further evaluation when certain events occur. Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded impairment losses of $67.8 million on our intangible assets with indefinite lives and $30.7 million on our intangible assets subject to amortization. See Note 13—“Impairment and Restructuring Charges” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our impairment charges.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When we prepare these consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of our accounting policies require that we make subjective judgments, including estimates that involve matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include those related to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and
26
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic increase uncertainty, which has reduced our ability to use past results to estimate future performance. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may be subject to greater volatility than in the past.
See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information regarding the accounting policies that we believe to be critical accounting policies and that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that the new accounting guidance implemented in 2020 changed our critical accounting policies.
New Accounting Guidance
See Note 2—“Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance” of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosure on new accounting guidance issued or implemented.
Website Disclosure
The Company may use its website as a distribution channel of material company information. Financial and other important information regarding the Company is routinely posted on and accessible through the Company’s website at https://investor.rsac.com. In addition, you may automatically receive email alerts and other information about the Company when you enroll your email address by visiting the “Email Alerts” section at https://investor.rsac.com.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to various market risk factors, including fluctuations in interest rates, changes in general economic conditions, domestic and foreign competition, foreign currency exchange rates and metals pricing, demand and availability. See Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further discussion on quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of current and potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial performance.
Item 4. Controls And Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to and as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that many of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information contained under the heading “Legal Matters” in Note 11—“Commitments and Contingencies” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are supplementing and amending the risk factors described under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 with the additional risk factor set forth below, which supplements, amends and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes such risk factors.
The COVID-19 global pandemic may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. These factors have led to reduced demand of our products and services, particularly for our businesses that service the automotive, oil and gas, commercial aerospace and non-residential construction (infrastructure) sectors. During the third quarter of 2020, our tons sold increased 5.9% compared to the second quarter of 2020. However, our third quarter of 2020 same-store tons sold were still down 12.6% and 13.2% compared to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively. Our tons sold are expected to decline in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2020 due to the continued impact of COVID-19, and normal seasonal factors, including fewer shipping days. In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, we recorded impairment and restructuring charges of $14.6 million mainly related to continued COVID-19 downsizing at certain of our businesses, our revised negative outlook for certain businesses serving the commercial aerospace market and planned facility closures. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, the duration of the current economic contraction and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The volatility in the market largely due to COVID-19 has resulted, and could continue to result, in a material impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Continued negative impacts to the markets we service due to COVID-19 or additional stock market volatility could result in a decline in our market capitalization that may result in goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges that could be material.
While most of our facilities continue to operate as essential businesses under the United States Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency guidance, facility closures or work slowdowns or temporary stoppages could occur at all or some of our facilities due to new government regulations, decreased demand for our products and services or otherwise. In many cases, our facilities are not operating under full staffing as a result of COVID-19, which could have a longer-term adverse impact on our business. Any prolonged slowdown or stoppage at our facilities may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and such impact may be material. We may face unpredictable increases in demand for certain of our products when restrictions on business and travel end. If demand for our products exceeds our capacity, it could adversely affect our financial results and customer relationships. In addition, the ability of our employees and our suppliers’ and customers’ employees to work may be impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to COVID-19, and any such impact may be material.
We continue to work with our stakeholders (including customers, employees, suppliers, business partners and local communities) to responsibly address this global pandemic. We will continue to monitor the situation and assess possible
28
implications to our business and our stakeholders and will take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences, including through adjusting our capital allocation priorities to focus on cash preservation. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any such mitigation efforts. Although the duration and ultimate impact of these factors is unknown at this time, the decline in economic conditions due to COVID-19, or another disease causing similar impacts, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and such impact may be material. Further deteriorations in economic and public health conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, could lead to disruptions in our supply chain and metals commodities pricing, a further or prolonged decline in demand for our products, potential closures of additional of our facilities, recognition of additional impairment charges, and otherwise negatively impact our business. We have a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding, and if we experience continued significant declines in sales as a result of the pandemic, our business may not be able to generate cash flow from operations or access additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay our debts and fund our other liquidity needs. The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets and credit markets, which depending on future developments could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. In addition, we may be susceptible to increased litigation related to, among other things, the financial impacts of COVID-19 on our business, our ability to meet contractual obligations due to the pandemic, employment practices or policies adopted during the pandemic, or litigation related to individuals contracting COVID-19 as a result of alleged exposures on our premises.
In addition, to the extent COVID-19 adversely affects the Company's business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for presentation of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (“Reliance,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The ownership of the other interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we purchased the remaining 49% noncontrolling interest of Feralloy Processing Company, which increased our ownership from 51% to 100%. See Note 10—“Equity” for further discussion of our noncontrolling interest transaction. Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are recorded under the equity method of accounting.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | |
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Note 2. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Adopted Financial Instruments – Credit Losses—In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance that changes how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, including the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables, and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting change did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted Income Taxes—In December 2019, the FASB issued accounting changes that simplify the accounting for income taxes as part of the FASB’s overall initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, or January 1, 2021 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued accounting changes that provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The accounting changes may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company expects to adopt this guidance for any contracts that are modified as a result of reference rate reform. We are continuing to evaluate which contracts may be impacted by reference rate reform, but believe our use of these accounting changes will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions | Note 3. Acquisitions 2019 Acquisition On December 31, 2019, we acquired Fry Steel Company (“Fry Steel”). Fry Steel is a general line and long bar distributor located in Santa Fe Springs, California. Fry Steel performs cutting services on its diverse product assortment and provides “in-stock” next day delivery of its products. Sales of Fry Steel were $60.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We funded our 2019 acquisition of Fry Steel with borrowings on our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The allocation of the total purchase price of our acquisition of Fry Steel to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:
The purchase price allocation for our acquisition of Fry Steel is pending the completion of purchase price adjustments, based on the completion of pre-acquisition period tax returns. The acquisition of Fry Steel has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at December 31, 2019. The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the revenues and expenses of Fry Steel since its acquisition date. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the allocation of Fry Steel’s purchase price as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The measurement periods for purchase price allocations do not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. As part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Fry Steel, $30.3 million was allocated to the trade name acquired. We determined that the trade name acquired in this acquisition had an indefinite life since its economic life is expected to approximate the life of Fry Steel. Additionally, we recorded an additional identifiable intangible asset related to customer relationships of $26.0 million with a 10.0 year life. The goodwill arising from our acquisition of Fry Steel consists largely of expected strategic benefits, including enhanced financial and operational scale, as well as expansion of acquired product and processing know-how across our enterprise. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets recorded in connection with our 2019 acquisition of Fry Steel were $56.3 million; $30.3 million was allocated to trade names, which is not subject to amortization, and $26.0 million was allocated to customer lists/relationships, which amortizes over a 10.0 year life. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $30.3 million and $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign currency translation losses related to intangible assets, net, were $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to foreign currency translation gains of $1.0 million in the same period in 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized impairment losses of $67.8 million on our trade names and $30.7 million on our customer lists/relationships intangible assets, mainly related to certain of our energy-related businesses. See Note 13—“Impairment and Restructuring Charges” for further discussion of our impairment losses.

Debt | Note 7. Debt Debt consisted of the following:
Unsecured Credit Facility On September 3, 2020, we entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated our existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2020, borrowings under the Credit Agreement were available at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.25% or the bank prime rate plus 0.25% and we pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable margins over LIBOR and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty. Weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility and term loan were 3.69% and 2.80% as of December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, $37.1 million of letters of credit issued and $1.46 billion available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility. Senior Unsecured Notes On November 20, 2006, we entered into an indenture (the “2006 Indenture”) for the issuance of $600.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance was comprised of (a) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, which and were on November 15, 2016and (b) $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036. On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the “2013 Indenture”) for the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023. On August 3, 2020, we entered into an indenture (the “2020 Indenture” and, together with the 2013 Indenture and 2016 Indenture, the “Indentures”) for the issuance of $900.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total issuance was comprised of (a) $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 1.30% per annum, maturing on August 15, 2025 and (b) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 2.15% per annum, maturing on August 15, 2030. Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. If we experience a change in control accompanied by a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Other Notes and Revolving Credit Facilities A revolving credit facility with a credit limit of $8.0 million is in place for an operation in Asia with an outstanding balance of $5.2 million and $4.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Various industrial revenue bonds had combined outstanding balances of $8.6 million as of September 30, 2020 and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2019, and have maturities through 2027. Covenants The Credit Agreement and the Indentures include customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, two financial maintenance covenants that require us to comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants in our Credit Agreement at September 30, 2020. |

Income Taxes Our effective income tax rates for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were 22.6% and 22.5%, respectively, compared to 25.0% for the comparable 2019 periods. The declines in our effective income tax rates were mainly due to our lower income levels. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state income taxes partially offset by the effects of company-owned life insurance policies. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s share of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business.

Equity | Note 10. Equity Dividends On October 20, 2020, our Board of Directors declared the 2020 fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.625 per share of common stock, payable on December 4, 2020 to stockholders of record as of November 20, 2020. During the third quarters of 2020 and 2019, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.625 and $0.55 per share, or $39.8 million and $36.7 million in total, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $1.875 and $1.65 per share, or $120.7 million and $110.6 million in total, respectively. In addition, we paid $2.1 million and $2.7 million in dividend equivalents with respect to vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation We make annual grants of long-term incentive awards to officers and key employees in the forms of service-based and performance-based RSUs that have approximately 3-year vesting periods. The performance-based RSU awards are subject to both service and performance goal criteria. We also make annual grants of stock to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors that vest immediately upon grant. The fair value of the RSUs and stock grants is determined based on the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date. On May 20, 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Award Plan to, in part, increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 1.5 million. In addition, our stockholders approved extending the term of the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Directors Equity Plan for ten years until December 31, 2030. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we made payments of $14.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively, to tax authorities on our employees’ behalf for shares withheld related to net share settlements. These payments are reflected in the Stock-based compensation, net caption of our consolidated statements of equity. A summary of the status of our unvested service-based and performance-based RSUs as of September 30, 2020 and changes during the nine-month period then ended is as follows:
Share Repurchase Plan On October 23, 2018, our Board of Directors amended our share repurchase plan, increasing the total authorized number of shares available to be repurchased by 5.0 million and extending the duration of the plan through December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2020, we had authorization under the plan to repurchase approximately 3.1 million shares, or about 5% of our current outstanding shares. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. During the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased 2,466 shares at an average cost of $100.00 per share, for a total of $0.2 million, compared to no repurchases in the third quarter of 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares at an average cost of $90.10, for a total of $300.2 million, compared to repurchases of approximately 0.6 million shares at an average cost of $84.33 per share, for a total of $50.0 million, in the same period in 2019. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss included the following:
Foreign currency translation adjustments have not been adjusted for income taxes. Pension and postretirement benefit adjustments are net of taxes of $4.5 million and $7.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive loss as defined benefit plan and supplemental executive retirement plan obligations are settled. Noncontrolling Interest Transaction On March 31, 2020, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Feralloy Corporation, we purchased the remaining 49% noncontrolling interest of Feralloy Processing Company (“FPC”), a toll processor in Portage, Indiana. The increase in our ownership from 51% to 100% was accounted for as an equity transaction. The difference between the $8.0 million consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest with a carrying amount of $1.1 was recognized as a decrease in total Reliance stockholders’ equity. |

Commitment and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Contingencies We are currently involved with an environmental remediation project related to activities at former manufacturing operations of Earle M. Jorgensen Company (“EMJ”), our subsidiary, that were sold many years prior to our acquisition of EMJ in 2006. Although the potential cleanup costs could be significant, EMJ maintained insurance policies during the time it owned the manufacturing operations that have covered costs incurred to date, and are expected to continue to cover the majority of the related costs. We do not expect that this obligation will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Legal Matters From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions. Generally, these actions arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to the business. We expect that these matters will be resolved without having a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We maintain general liability insurance against risks arising in the ordinary course of business. COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The duration and severity of the outbreak and its long-term impact on our business are uncertain at this time. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic increase uncertainty. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may be subject to greater volatility than in the past.

Potentially dilutive securities were not significant for the third quarters of 2020 and 2019. The computations of earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 do not include 244,006 and 234,429 weighted average shares, respectively, in respect of RSUs, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. |

Impairment and Restructuring Charge | Note 13. Impairment and Restructuring Charges We recorded impairment and restructuring charges of $157.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was mainly comprised of a $137.5 million impairment and restructuring charge recognized during the first quarter of 2020 due to our reduced long-term outlook for our businesses serving the energy market and charges at certain of our other businesses for which our outlook has turned negative based on the continued impacts from COVID-19. The impairment and restructuring charges consisted of the following:
The 2020 property, plant and equipment and restructuring – cost of sales charges relate to the closure of certain locations where we anticipated losses on the disposition of certain real property, machinery and equipment and inventories. The measurement of the intangible assets at fair value was determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The use of discounted cash flow models requires significant judgment and requires the use of inputs by management that are unobservable, including revenue forecasts, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s expectations of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the eventual recovery of the oil and natural gas and aerospace industries based on the best information available in the circumstances.
