Olympic Steel, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
| 1. | Basis of Presentation: |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of Olympic Steel, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Olympic or the Company), without audit and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods covered by this report. Year-to-date results are not necessarily indicative of 2022 annual results and these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company operates in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. The specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment are at times consolidated and referred to as the flat products segments. Some of the flat products segments’ assets and resources are shared by the specialty metals and carbon flat products segments, and both segments’ products are stored in the shared facilities and, in some locations, processed on shared equipment. As such, total assets and capital expenditures are reported in the aggregate for the flat products segments. Due to the shared assets and resources, certain of the flat products segment expenses are allocated between the specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment based upon an established allocation methodology.
The primary focus of our specialty metals flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of processed stainless and aluminum flat-rolled sheet and coil products, flat bar products and fabricated parts. Through the acquisition of Shaw Stainless & Alloys, Inc. (Shaw) on October 1, 2021 and Action Stainless & Alloys, Inc. (Action Stainless) on December 14, 2020, our specialty metals flat products segment expanded its geographic footprint and enhanced its product offerings in stainless steel and aluminum plate, sheet, angles, rounds, flat bar, tubing and pipe. Through the acquisition of Berlin Metals, LLC (Berlin Metals) on April 2, 2018, the specialty metals flat products segment expanded its product offerings to include differing types of stainless flat-rolled sheet and coil and prime tin mill products.
The primary focus of our carbon flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of large volumes of processed carbon and coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products, and fabricated parts. We act as an intermediary between metals producers and manufacturers that require processed metal for their operations. We serve customers in most metals consuming industries, including manufacturers and fabricators of transportation and material handling equipment, construction and farm machinery, storage tanks, environmental and energy generation equipment, automobiles, military vehicles and equipment, as well as general and plate fabricators and metal service centers. We distribute these products primarily through a direct sales force. Combined, the carbon and specialty metals flat products segments have 34 strategically-located processing and distribution facilities in the United States and one in Monterrey, Mexico. Our geographic footprint allows us to focus on regional customers and larger national and multi-national accounts, primarily located throughout the midwestern, eastern and southern United States. On September 17, 2021, we sold substantially all of the assets related to our Detroit, Michigan operation to Venture Steel (U.S.). The Detroit operation was primarily focused on the distribution of carbon flat-rolled steel to domestic automotive manufacturers and their suppliers.
The tubular and pipe products segment consists of the Chicago Tube and Iron (CTI) business, acquired in 2011. Through our tubular and pipe products segment, we distribute metal tubing, pipe, bar, valves and fittings and fabricated pressure parts supplied to various industrial markets. Founded in 1914, CTI operates from seven locations in the Midwestern and southeastern United States. The tubular and pipe products segment distributes its products primarily through a direct sales force.
Corporate expenses are reported as a separate line item for segment reporting purposes. Corporate expenses include the unallocated expenses related to managing the entire Company (i.e., all three segments), including payroll expenses for certain personnel, expenses related to being a publicly traded entity such as board of directors’ expenses, audit expenses, and various other professional fees.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update, (ASU), No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The objective of this ASU is to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoptions of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition: |
The Company provides metals processing, distribution and delivery of large volumes of processed carbon, coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products, aluminum, and stainless flat-rolled products, prime tin mill products, flat bar products, metal tubing, pipe, bar, valves, fittings and fabricated parts. The Company's contracts with customers are comprised of purchase orders with standard terms and conditions. Occasionally the Company may also have longer-term agreements with customers. Substantially all of the contracts with customers require the delivery of metals, which represent single performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of control of the product to the customer.
Transfer of control is assessed based on the use of the product distributed and rights to payment for performance under the contract terms. Transfer of control and revenue recognition for substantially all of the Company’s sales occur upon shipment or delivery of the product, which is when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer and is based on the applicable shipping terms. The shipping terms depend on the customer contract. An invoice for payment is issued at time of shipment and terms are generally net 30 days. The Company has certain fabrication contracts in one business unit for which revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are achieved. This fabrication business is not material to the Company's consolidated results.
Within the metals industry, revenue is frequently disaggregated by products sold. The table below disaggregates the Company’s revenues by segment and products sold.

| 8. | Derivative Instruments: |
Metals swaps and embedded customer derivatives
During the first six months of 2022 and 2021, the Company entered into nickel swaps indexed to the London Metal Exchange (LME) price of nickel with third-party brokers. The nickel swaps are accounted for as derivatives for accounting purposes. The Company entered into them to mitigate its customers’ risk of volatility in the price of metals. The outstanding nickel swaps mature in 2022. The swaps are settled with the brokers at maturity. The economic benefit or loss arising from the changes in fair value of the swaps is contractually passed through to the customer. The primary risk associated with the metals swaps is the ability of customers or third-party brokers to honor their agreements with the Company related to derivative instruments. If the customer or third-party brokers are unable to honor their agreements, the Company’s risk of loss is the fair value of the metals swaps.
These derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments. The periodic changes in fair value of the metals and embedded customer derivative instruments are included in “Cost of materials sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company recognizes derivative positions with both the customer and the third party for the derivatives and classifies cash settlement amounts associated with them as part of “Cost of materials sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The cumulative change in fair value of the metals swaps that had not yet settled as of June 30, 2022 are included in “Other Accrued Liabilities”, and the embedded customer derivatives are included in “Accounts Receivable, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022.

| 12. | Income Taxes: |
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $
The tax provision for the interim period is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.
The quarterly tax provision and the quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in law and relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, the effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on the effective tax rate is greater when the pre-tax income is lower.

Segment Information: |
The Company follows the accounting guidance that requires the utilization of a “management approach” to define and report the financial results of operating segments. The management approach defines operating segments along the lines used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on operating income (loss). The operating segments are based primarily on internal management reporting.
The Company operates in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. The specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment are at times consolidated and referred to as the flat products segments, as certain of the flat products segments’ assets and resources are shared by the specialty metals and carbon flat products segments and both segments’ products are stored in the shared facilities and, in some locations, processed on shared equipment.
Corporate expenses are reported as a separate line item for segment reporting purposes. Corporate expenses include the unallocated expenses related to managing the entire Company (i.e., all

Overview
We are a leading metals service center that operates in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. We provide metals processing and distribution services for a wide range of customers. Our specialty metals flat products segment’s focus is on the direct sale and distribution of processed aluminum and stainless flat-rolled sheet and coil products, flat bar products, prime tin mill products and fabricated parts. Through the acquisition of Shaw Stainless & Alloy, or Shaw, on October 1, 2021, and Action Stainless & Alloys, Inc., or Action Stainless, on December 14, 2020, our specialty metals flat products segment expanded its geographic footprint and enhanced its product offerings in stainless steel and aluminum plate, sheet, angles, rounds, flat bar, tubing and pipe. Shaw also manufactures and distributes stainless steel bollards and water treatment systems. Action Stainless offers a range of processing, including plasma, laser and waterjet cutting and computer numerical control, or CNC, machining. Our carbon flat products segment’s focus is on the direct sale and distribution of large volumes of processed carbon and coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products and fabricated parts. In addition, our carbon flat products segment’s product offerings include self-dumping metal hoppers and carbon and stainless-steel dump inserts for pickup truck and service truck beds. On September 17, 2021, the Company sold substantially all of the assets related to its Detroit operation. The Detroit operation was primarily focused on the distribution of carbon flat-rolled steel to domestic automotive manufacturers and their suppliers and primarily included in the carbon flat products segment. In addition, we distribute metal tubing, pipe, bar, valves and fittings and fabricate pressure parts supplied to various industrial markets through our tubular and pipe products segment. Products that require more value-added processing generally have a higher gross profit. Accordingly, our overall gross profit is affected by, among other things, product mix, the amount of processing performed, the demand for and availability of metals, and volatility in selling prices and material purchase costs. We also perform toll processing of customer-owned metals. We sell certain products internationally, primarily in Canada and Mexico. International sales are immaterial to our consolidated financial results and to the individual segments’ results.
Our results of operations are affected by numerous external factors, including, but not limited to: general and global business, economic, financial, banking and political conditions; fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies, competition; metals pricing, demand and availability; transportation and energy costs; pricing and availability of raw materials used in the production of metals; global supply, the level of metals imported into the United States, tariffs, and inventory held in the supply chain; the availability and increased costs of labor; customers’ ability to manage their credit line availability; and layoffs or work stoppages by our own, our suppliers’ or our customers’ personnel. The metals industry also continues to be affected by the global consolidation of our suppliers, competitors and end-use customers.
Like 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 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 customer forecasts, historic buying practices, supply agreements with customers and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders. From time to time, we have entered into nickel swaps at the request of our customers in order to mitigate our customers’ 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 use existing metals inventory. When metals prices increase, competitive conditions will influence how much of the price increase we can pass on to our customers. To the extent we are unable to pass on future price increases in our raw materials to our customers, the net sales and gross profits of our business could be adversely affected.
At June 30, 2022, we employed approximately 1,644 people. Approximately 170 of the hourly plant personnel at the facilities listed below are represented by seven separate collective bargaining units. The table below shows the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements.

We have never experienced a work stoppage and we believe that our relationship with employees is good. However, any prolonged work stoppages by our personnel represented by collective bargaining units could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Reportable Segments
We operate in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. The specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment are at times consolidated and referred to as the flat products segment. Some of the flat products segments’ assets and resources are shared by the specialty metals and carbon segments and both segments’ products are stored in the shared facilities and, in some locations, processed on shared equipment. As such, total assets and capital expenditures are reported in the aggregate for the flat products segments. Due to the shared assets and resources, certain of the flat products segment expenses are allocated between the specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment based upon an established allocation methodology.
We follow the accounting guidance that requires the utilization of a “management approach” to define and report the financial results of operating segments. The management approach defines operating segments along the lines used by the chief operating decision maker, or CODM, to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on operating income. Our operating segments are based primarily on internal management reporting.
Due to the nature of the products sold in each segment, there are significant differences in the segments’ average selling price and the cost of materials sold. Due to the nature of the tubular and pipe products, we do not report tons sold or per ton information. Gross profit per ton is generally higher in the specialty metals flat products segment than the carbon flat products segment. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales is generally highest in the tubular and pipe products segment, followed by the carbon and specialty metals flat products segments. Due to the differences in average selling prices, gross profit and gross profit percentage among the segments, a change in the mix of sales could impact total net sales, gross profit and gross profit percentage. In addition, certain inventory in the tubular and pipe products segment is valued under the LIFO method. Adjustments to the LIFO inventory value are recorded to cost of materials sold and may impact the gross margin and gross margin percentage at the consolidated Company and tubular and pipe products segment levels.
Specialty metals flat products
The primary focus of our specialty metals flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of processed stainless and aluminum flat-rolled sheet and coil products, flat bar products and fabricated parts. Through the acquisition of Shaw on October 1, 2021, and Action Stainless on December 14, 2020, our specialty metals flat products segment expanded its geographic footprint and enhanced its product offerings in stainless steel and aluminum plate, sheet, angles, rounds, flat bar, tubing and pipe. Through the acquisition of Berlin Metals, LLC, or Berlin Metals, on April 2, 2018, our specialty metals flat products segment expanded its product offerings to include differing types of stainless flat-rolled sheet and coil and prime tin mill products. We act as an intermediary between metals producers and manufacturers that require processed metals for their operations. We serve customers in various industries, including manufacturers of food service and commercial appliances, agriculture equipment, transportation and automotive equipment. We distribute these products primarily through a direct sales force.
Carbon flat products
The primary focus of our carbon flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of large volumes of processed carbon and coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products and fabricated parts. We act as an intermediary between metals producers and manufacturers that require processed metals for their operations. We serve customers in most metals consuming industries, including manufacturers and fabricators of transportation and material handling equipment, construction and farm machinery, storage tanks, environmental and energy generation equipment, automobiles, military vehicles and equipment, as well as general and plate fabricators and metals service centers. We distribute these products primarily through a direct sales force.
Combined, the carbon and specialty metals flat products segments have 34 strategically located processing and distribution facilities in the United States and one in Monterrey, Mexico. Many of our facilities service both the carbon and the specialty metals flat products segments, and certain assets and resources are shared by the segments. Our geographic footprint allows us to focus on regional customers and larger national and multi-national accounts, primarily located throughout the midwestern, eastern and southern United States.
Tubular and pipe products
The tubular and pipe products segment consists of the Chicago Tube and Iron, or CTI business, acquired in 2011. Through our tubular and pipe products segment, we distribute metal tubing, pipe, bar, valve and fittings and fabricate pressure parts supplied to various industrial markets. Founded in 1914, CTI operates from seven locations in the Midwestern and southeastern United States. The tubular and pipe products segment distributes its products primarily through a direct sales force.
Corporate expenses
Corporate expenses are reported as a separate line item for segment reporting purposes. Corporate expenses include the unallocated expenses related to managing the entire Company (i.e., all three segments), including compensation for certain personnel, expenses related to being a publicly traded entity such as board of directors’ expenses, audit expenses and various other professional fees.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are impacted by the market price of metals. Metals prices fluctuate significantly and changes to our net sales, cost of materials sold, gross profit, cost of inventory and profitability, are all impacted by industry metals pricing. Index pricing on carbon steel decreased during the second quarter of 2022 by $347 per ton, or 25.2%, and decreased during the first six months of 2022 by $504 per ton, or 32.8%. Despite the decrease in index pricing during 2022, our average selling prices and average cost of materials sold were higher during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 than during the same periods of 2021. Metals prices in our specialty metals products segment increased during 2022 compared to 2021 due to the unprecedented increase in metal surcharges experienced during the second quarter of 2022. Stainless surcharges increased during the second quarter of 2022 by 32.2% and increased during the first six month of 2022 by 48.9%. Metals pricing for the tubular and pipe products segment have a tendency to lag behind the carbon flat products segment by several months.
Transactional or “spot” selling prices generally move in tandem with market price changes, while fixed selling prices typically lag and reset quarterly. Similarly, inventory costs (and, therefore, cost of materials sold) tend to move slower than market selling price changes due to mill lead times and inventory turnover impacting the rate of change in average cost. When average selling prices increase, and net sales increase, gross profit and operating expenses as a percentage of net sales will generally decrease.

Net sales increased 27.5% to $709.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $556.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Specialty metals flat products net sales were 32.0% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 24.8% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2021. Carbon flat products net sales were 52.3% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 58.5% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2021. Tubular and pipe products net sales were 15.7% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 16.6% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net sales was due to a consolidated 45.0% increase in average selling prices during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by a 12.1% consolidated decrease in volume. During the second quarter and first six months of 2022, our sales volumes were negatively impacted by the sale of our Detroit operations on September 17, 2021. We expect metals prices to decrease during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Net sales increased 37.9% to $1.4 billion in the first six months of 2022 from $1.0 billion in the first six months of 2021. Specialty metals flat products net sales were 30.3% of total net sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to 25.9% of total net sales in the first six months of 2021. Carbon flat products net sales were 53.4% of total net sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to 56.1% of total net sales in the first six months of 2021. Tubular and pipe products net sales were 16.3% of total net sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to 18.0% of total net sales in the first six months of 2021. The increase in net sales was due to a consolidated 59.3% increase in average selling prices during the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021, partially offset by a 13.4% consolidated decrease in volume. The decrease in tons sold is primarily due to the sale of our Detroit operations on September 17, 2021.
Cost of materials sold increased 30.8% to $560.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $428.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Cost of materials sold increased 42.4% to $1.1 billion in the first six months of 2022 from $783.4 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in cost of materials sold in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 is related to the increased metals pricing discussed above in Results of Operations.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit (as defined in footnote (b) in the table above) decreased to 21.0% in the second quarter of 2022 from 22.9% in the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit (as defined in footnote (b) in the table above) decreased to 20.6% in the first six months of 2022 from 23.1% in the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the gross profit as a percentage of net sales is due to the average cost of inventory increasing more than the average selling prices.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 increased $9.8 million, or 11.6%, to $94.8 million from $84.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 13.4% for the second quarter of 2022 from 15.3% in the second quarter of 2021. Operating expenses in the specialty metals flat products segment increased $9.3 million, operating expenses in the carbon flat products segment decreased $0.7 million, operating expenses in the tubular and pipe products segment increased $0.4 million and Corporate expenses increased $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased variable performance-based incentive compensation, the inclusion of operating expenses related to the October 2021 acquisition of Shaw and inflationary impacts on labor, transportation and other product support costs, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses due to the sale of our Detroit operations on September 17, 2021.
Operating expenses in the first six months of 2022 increased $21.1 million, or 13.0%, to $182.9 million from $161.8 million in the first six months of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 13.0% in the first six months of 2022 from 15.9% in the first six months of 2021. Operating expenses in the specialty metals flat products segment increased $18.9 million, operating expenses in the carbon flat products segment increased $0.2 million, operating expenses in the tubular and pipe products segment decreased $0.4 million and Corporate expenses increased $2.3 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased variable performance-based incentive compensation, the inclusion of operating expenses related to the October 2021 acquisition of Shaw and inflationary impacts on labor, transportation and other product support costs, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses due to the sale of our Detroit operations on September 17, 2021 and by the gain on the sale of the Milan, Iowa facility in the first quarter of 2022.
Interest and other expense on debt totaled $2.3 million, or 0.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $2.0 million, or 0.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. Interest and other expense on debt totaled $4.3 million, or 0.3% of net sales, in the first six months of 2022 compared to $3.7 million, or 0.4% of net sales, in the first six months of 2021. The increase was due to higher borrowings in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. Our effective borrowing rate, exclusive of deferred financing fees and commitment fees, was 2.5% for the first six months of 2022 compared to 2.9% for the first six months of 2021.
In the second quarter of 2022, income before income taxes totaled $51.6 million compared to income before income taxes of $40.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. In the first six months of 2022, income before income taxes totaled $102.7 million compared to income before income taxes of $70.3 million in the first six months of 2021.
An income tax provision of 27.1% was recorded for the second quarter of 2022, compared to an income tax provision of 26.6% for the second quarter of 2021. An income tax provision of 27.0% was recorded for the first six months of 2022, compared to an income tax provision of 26.6% for the first six months of 2021. Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that are considered in the relevant period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
Net income for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $37.6 million, or $3.26 per basic share and diluted share, compared to net income of $29.6 million, or $2.58 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021. Net income for the first six months of 2022 totaled $74.9 million, or $6.49 per basic share and diluted share, compared to net income of $51.7 million, or $4.50 per basic and $4.49 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2021.

Net sales increased $19.0 million, or 20.6%, to $111.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $92.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase is a result of a 30.2% increase in average selling prices offset by a 7.4% decrease in shipping volume during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. Net sales increased $45.9 million, or 25.1%, to $228.9 million in the first six months of 2022 from $183.0 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase is a result of a 53.5% increase in average selling prices offset by a 18.5% decrease in shipping volume during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. We expect metals prices to decrease in the third quarter of 2022 as discussed above in Results of Operations.
Cost of materials sold increased $14.3 million, or 20.1%, to $85.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $71.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. Cost of materials sold increased $33.7 million, or 24.4%, to $171.9 million in the first six months of 2022 from $138.1 million in the first six months of 2021. The Company did not record any LIFO expense or income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as current inventory price and volume projections anticipate no material change to the LIFO reserve by December 31, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $4.0 million and $5.0 million of LIFO expense, respectively.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit (as defined in footnote (b) in the table above) increased to 23.4% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 23.1% in the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, the LIFO expense recorded in the second quarter of 2021 decreased gross profit by 4.3%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit (as defined in footnote (b) in the table above) increased to 24.9% in the first six months of 2022 compared to 24.5% in the first six months of 2021. As a percentage of net sales, the LIFO expense recorded in the first six months of 2021 decreased gross profit by 2.7%.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 increased $0.5 million, or 2.5%, to $18.8 million from $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. Operating expenses decreased to 16.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 19.8% in the second quarter of 2021. Operating expenses in the first six months of 2022 decreased $0.4 million, or 1.0%, to $35.1 million from $35.5 million in the first six months of 2021. Operating expenses decreased to 15.3% of net sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to 19.4% in the first six months of 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to inflationary impacts on labor, transportation and other product support costs and increased variable performance-based incentive compensation, offset by the $2.1 million gain on the sale of the Milan, Iowa facility in the first quarter of 2022.
Operating income in the second quarter 2022 totaled $7.3 million, or 6.5% of net sales, compared to $3.0 million, or 3.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. Operating income in the first six months of 2022 totaled $21.9 million, or 9.7% of net sales, compared to $9.4 million, or 5.2% of net sales, in the first six months of 2021.
Corporate expenses
Corporate expenses increased $0.8 million, or 16.6%, to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Corporate expenses increased $2.3 million, or 25.9%, to $10.9 million in the first six months of 2022 from $8.7 million in the first six months of 2021. Corporate expense increased as a result of increased performance-based incentive compensation.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
Our principal capital requirements include funding working capital needs, purchasing, upgrading and acquiring processing equipment and facilities, making acquisitions and paying dividends. We use cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility to fund these requirements.
We believe that funds available under our ABL Credit Facility, together with funds generated from operations, will be sufficient to provide us with the liquidity necessary to fund anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, our dividend payments and any share repurchases and business acquisitions for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. In the future, we may as part of our business strategy, acquire and dispose of assets or other companies in the same or complementary lines of business, or enter into or exit strategic alliances and joint ventures. Accordingly, the timing and size of our capital requirements are subject to change as business conditions warrant and opportunities arise.
Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we generated $47.7 million of net cash from operations, of which $94.2 million was generated from operating activities and $46.5 million was used for working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used $95.7 million of net cash for operations, of which $66.5 million was generated from operating activities and $162.2 million was used for working capital.
Net cash from operations totaled $47.7 million during the first six months of 2022 and was mainly comprised of net income of $74.9 million, the non-cash depreciation and amortization addback of $10.2 million, decreases in other long-term assets of $1.9 million and changes in other long-term liabilities of $8.7 million. Net cash from operations totaled $66.5 million during the first six months of 2021 and was mainly comprised of net income of $51.7 million, the non-cash depreciation and amortization addback of $10.9 million and a decrease in other long-term assets of $5.2 million, offset by changes in other long-term liabilities of $1.8 million.
Working capital at June 30, 2022 totaled $610.3 million, a $45.2 million increase from December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $36.3 million increase in accounts receivable, a $26.1 million increase in inventories, a $4.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other and a $13.4 million decrease in accrued payroll and other accrued liabilities, offset by a $33.8 million increase in accounts payable and outstanding checks
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net cash used for investing activities primarily consisted of $10.0 million in new capital expenditures offset by $3.3 million in proceeds primarily from the sale of the Milan, Iowa facility. The capital expenditures in the first six months of 2022 and 2021 were primarily attributable to additional processing equipment at our existing facilities.
Financing Activities
During the first six months of 2022, $42.3 million of cash was used for financing activities, which primarily consisted of $39.9 million of net repayments under our ABL Credit Facility, $2.0 million of dividends paid, $0.3 million of principal payments under capital lease obligations and $0.1 million of credit facility fees and expenses related to the amended ABL Credit Facility.
Dividends paid were $2.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. In August 2022, our Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share, which will be paid on September 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2022. Regular dividend distributions in the future are subject to the availability of cash, the $5.0 million annual limitation on cash dividends and common stock repurchases under our ABL Credit Facility and continuing determination by our Board of Directors that the payment of dividends remains in the best interest of our shareholders.
Equity Programs
In 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 550,000 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated stock repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, all or some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. Repurchased shares will be held in our treasury, or canceled and retired as our Board may determine from time to time. Any repurchases of common stock are subject to the covenants contained in the ABL Credit Facility. Under the ABL Credit Facility, we may repurchase common stock and pay dividends up to $5.0 million in the aggregate during any trailing twelve months without restrictions. Purchases in excess of $5.0 million require us to (i) maintain availability in excess of 20% of the aggregate revolver commitments ($95.0 million at June 30, 2022) or (ii) to maintain availability equal to or greater than 15% of the aggregate revolver commitments ($71.3 million at June 30, 2022) and we must maintain a pro-forma ratio of EBITDA, minus certain capital expenditures and cash taxes paid to fixed charges of at least 1.00 to 1.00. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the stock repurchase program will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and limitations under the ABL Credit Facility, and repurchases may be discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2022, 360,212 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the program.
There were no shares repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021.
On September 3, 2021, we commenced an at-the market, or ATM, equity program under our shelf registration statement, which allows us to sell and issue up to $50 million in shares of our common stock from time to time. We entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement on September 3, 2021 with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., or KeyBanc, relating to the issuance and sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the program. KeyBanc is not required to sell any specific amount of securities but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutual agreed terms between KeyBanc and us. KeyBanc will be entitled to compensation for shares sold pursuant to the program of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement. No shares were sold under the ATM program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Debt Arrangements
Our ABL Credit Facility is collateralized by our accounts receivable inventory and personal property. The ABL Credit Facility consists of (i) a revolving credit facility of $445 million, including a $20 million sub-limit for letters of credit and (ii) a first in, last out revolving credit facility of up to $30 million. Under the terms of the ABL Credit Facility, we may request additional commitments in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments. Revolver borrowings are limited to the lesser of a borrowing base, comprised of eligible receivables and inventories, or $475 million in the aggregate. The ABL Credit Facility matures on June 16, 2026.
The ABL Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to us; (vi) incur liens securing indebtedness; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates. In addition, the ABL Credit Facility contains a financial covenant which requires if any commitments or obligations are outstanding our availability is less than the greater of $30 million or 10.0% of the aggregate amount of revolver commitments ($47.5 million at June 30, 2022) or 10.0% of the aggregate borrowing base ($47.5 million at June 30, 2022), then we must maintain a ratio of Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, minus certain capital expenditures and cash taxes paid to fixed charges of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent twelve fiscal month period.
We have the option to borrow under its revolver based on the agent’s base rate plus a premium ranging from 0.00% to 0.25% or the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a premium ranging from 1.25% to 2.75%.
As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our covenants and had approximately $183 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2022, $1.4 million of bank financing fees were included in “Prepaid expenses and other” and “Other long-term assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The financing fees are being amortized over the five-year term of the ABL Credit Facility and are included in “Interest and other expense on debt” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
On January 10, 2019, we entered into a five-year forward starting fixed rate interest rate hedge in order to eliminate the variability of cash interest payments on $75 million of the outstanding LIBOR based borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. The interest rate hedge fixed the rate at 2.57%.
Critical Accounting Policies
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. We monitor and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting practices quarterly to ensure they provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment. For further information regarding the accounting policies that we believe to be critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our principal raw materials are carbon, coated and stainless steel, aluminum, pipe and tube, flat rolled coil, sheet and plate that we typically purchase from multiple primary metals producers. The metals industry as a whole is cyclical and, at times, pricing and availability of metals can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond our control, including general domestic and international economic conditions, the levels of metals imported into the United States, labor costs, sales levels, competition, levels of inventory held by other metals service centers, consolidation of metals producers, new global capacity by metals producers, higher raw material costs for the producers of metals, import duties and tariffs and currency exchange rates. This volatility can significantly affect the availability and cost of raw materials for us.
We, like many other metals service centers, maintain substantial inventories of metals to accommodate the short lead times and just‑in‑time delivery requirements of our customers. Accordingly, 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, supply agreements with customers and market conditions. Our commitments to purchase metals are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the time we place our orders. We have no long‑term, fixed‑price metals purchase contracts. When metals prices increase, competitive conditions will influence how much of the price increase we can pass on to our customers. To the extent we are unable to pass on future price increases in our raw materials to our customers, the net sales and profitability of our business could be adversely affected. 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 inventory lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments as we sell existing inventory. Significant or rapid declines in metals prices or reductions in sales volumes could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain financial covenants in our credit facility, as well as result in us incurring inventory or intangible asset impairment charges. Changing metals prices therefore could significantly impact our net sales, gross profits, operating income and net income.
Rising metals prices result in higher working capital requirements for us and our customers. Some customers may not have sufficient credit lines or liquidity to absorb significant increases in the price of metals. While we have generally been successful in the past in passing on producers’ price increases and surcharges to our customers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to pass on price increases to our customers in the future. Declining metals prices have generally adversely affected our net sales and net income, while increasing metals prices have generally favorably affected our net sales and net income.
Approximately 51% and 44% of our consolidated net sales during the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, were directly related to industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers and their fabricators.
Inflation generally affects us by increasing the cost of employee wages and benefits, transportation services, processing equipment, energy and borrowings under our credit facility. General inflation, excluding increases in the price of metals, labor and increased distribution expense, has not had a material effect on our financial results in prior years, but is expected to have an impact in 2022 due to the elevated inflation rate.
We are exposed to the impact of fluctuating metals prices and interest rate changes. During 2022 and 2021, we entered into metals swaps at the request of customers. These derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments. For certain customers, we enter into contractual relationships that entitle us to pass-through the economic effect of trading positions that we take with other third parties on our customers’ behalf.
Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from variable rate debt. We have the option to enter into 30- to 180-day fixed base rate LIBOR loans under the ABL Credit Facility. On January 10, 2019, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap that locked the interest rate at 2.57% on $75 million of our revolving debt.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed with or submitted to the SEC is: (i) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| Notes to Financial Statements | |||
| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of Olympic Steel, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Olympic or the Company), without audit and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods covered by this report. Year-to-date results are not necessarily indicative of 2022 annual results and these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company operates in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. The specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment are at times consolidated and referred to as the flat products segments. Some of the flat products segments’ assets and resources are shared by the specialty metals and carbon flat products segments, and both segments’ products are stored in the shared facilities and, in some locations, processed on shared equipment. As such, total assets and capital expenditures are reported in the aggregate for the flat products segments. Due to the shared assets and resources, certain of the flat products segment expenses are allocated between the specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment based upon an established allocation methodology.
The primary focus of our specialty metals flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of processed stainless and aluminum flat-rolled sheet and coil products, flat bar products and fabricated parts. Through the acquisition of Shaw Stainless & Alloys, Inc. (Shaw) on October 1, 2021 and Action Stainless & Alloys, Inc. (Action Stainless) on December 14, 2020, our specialty metals flat products segment expanded its geographic footprint and enhanced its product offerings in stainless steel and aluminum plate, sheet, angles, rounds, flat bar, tubing and pipe. Through the acquisition of Berlin Metals, LLC (Berlin Metals) on April 2, 2018, the specialty metals flat products segment expanded its product offerings to include differing types of stainless flat-rolled sheet and coil and prime tin mill products.
The primary focus of our carbon flat products segment is on the direct sale and distribution of large volumes of processed carbon and coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products, and fabricated parts. We act as an intermediary between metals producers and manufacturers that require processed metal for their operations. We serve customers in most metals consuming industries, including manufacturers and fabricators of transportation and material handling equipment, construction and farm machinery, storage tanks, environmental and energy generation equipment, automobiles, military vehicles and equipment, as well as general and plate fabricators and metal service centers. We distribute these products primarily through a direct sales force. Combined, the carbon and specialty metals flat products segments have 34 strategically-located processing and distribution facilities in the United States and one in Monterrey, Mexico. Our geographic footprint allows us to focus on regional customers and larger national and multi-national accounts, primarily located throughout the midwestern, eastern and southern United States. On September 17, 2021, we sold substantially all of the assets related to our Detroit, Michigan operation to Venture Steel (U.S.). The Detroit operation was primarily focused on the distribution of carbon flat-rolled steel to domestic automotive manufacturers and their suppliers.
The tubular and pipe products segment consists of the Chicago Tube and Iron (CTI) business, acquired in 2011. Through our tubular and pipe products segment, we distribute metal tubing, pipe, bar, valves and fittings and fabricated pressure parts supplied to various industrial markets. Founded in 1914, CTI operates from seven locations in the Midwestern and southeastern United States. The tubular and pipe products segment distributes its products primarily through a direct sales force.
Corporate expenses are reported as a separate line item for segment reporting purposes. Corporate expenses include the unallocated expenses related to managing the entire Company (i.e., all three segments), including payroll expenses for certain personnel, expenses related to being a publicly traded entity such as board of directors’ expenses, audit expenses, and various other professional fees.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update, (ASU), No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The objective of this ASU is to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoptions of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |

| Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] |
The Company provides metals processing, distribution and delivery of large volumes of processed carbon, coated flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products, aluminum, and stainless flat-rolled products, prime tin mill products, flat bar products, metal tubing, pipe, bar, valves, fittings and fabricated parts. The Company's contracts with customers are comprised of purchase orders with standard terms and conditions. Occasionally the Company may also have longer-term agreements with customers. Substantially all of the contracts with customers require the delivery of metals, which represent single performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of control of the product to the customer.
Transfer of control is assessed based on the use of the product distributed and rights to payment for performance under the contract terms. Transfer of control and revenue recognition for substantially all of the Company’s sales occur upon shipment or delivery of the product, which is when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer and is based on the applicable shipping terms. The shipping terms depend on the customer contract. An invoice for payment is issued at time of shipment and terms are generally net 30 days. The Company has certain fabrication contracts in one business unit for which revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are achieved. This fabrication business is not material to the Company's consolidated results.
Within the metals industry, revenue is frequently disaggregated by products sold. The table below disaggregates the Company’s revenues by segment and products sold.

| Financing Receivables [Text Block] |
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for credit losses and unissued credits of $4.6 million and $4.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate based on historical experience, specific customer collection issues that have been identified, current market conditions and estimates for supportable forecasts when appropriate. Estimations are based upon a calculated percentage of accounts receivable, which remains fairly level from year to year, and judgments about the probable effects of economic conditions on certain customers, which can fluctuate significantly from year to year. The Company cannot guarantee that the rate of future credit losses will be similar to past experience. The Company considers all available information when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses and unissued credits. |

| Inventory Disclosure [Text Block] |
Inventories consisted of the following:
The Company values certain of its tubular and pipe products inventory at the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $57.1 million, or 11.2% of consolidated inventory, and $55.4 million, or 11.4% of consolidated inventory, respectively, was reported under the LIFO method of accounting. The cost of the remainder of the tubular and pipe products inventory is determined using a weighted average rolling first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The Company did not record any LIFO expense or income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as current inventory price and volume projections anticipate no material change to the LIFO reserve by December 31, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $4.0 million and $5.0 million of LIFO expense, respectively.
If the FIFO method had been in use, inventories would have been $19.7 million higher than reported at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] |
The Company’s intangible assets were recorded in connection with its acquisitions that occurred between 2011 and 2021. The intangible assets were evaluated on the premise of highest and best use to a market participant, primarily utilizing the income approach valuation methodology. The useful life of the customer relationships was determined to be between 10 and 15 years, based primarily on the consistent and predictable revenue source associated with the existing customer base, the present value of which extends through the - and -year amortization periods. The useful life of the non-compete agreements was determined to be the length of the non-compete agreements, which range from to years. The useful life of the trade names was determined to be indefinite primarily due to their history and reputation in the marketplace, the Company’s expectation that the trade names will continue to be used and the conclusion that there are currently no other factors identified that would limit their useful life. The Company will continue to evaluate the useful life assigned to its amortizable customer relationships and noncompete agreements in future periods.
Goodwill, by reportable unit, was as follows as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
Intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:
The Company estimates that amortization expense for its intangible assets subject to amortization will be approximately $1.6 million per year for the next three years, $1.2 million the following year and then $0.7 million for the next year after.

| Debt Disclosure [Text Block] |
The Company’s debt is comprised of the following components:
The Company’s asset-based credit facility (the ABL Credit Facility) is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and personal property. The $475 million ABL Credit Facility consists of: (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $445 million, including a $20 million sub-limit for letters of credit, and (ii) a first in, last out revolving credit facility of up to $30 million. Under the terms of the ABL Credit Facility, the Company may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, request additional commitments under the revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments, and add real estate as collateral at the Company’s discretion. The ABL Facility matures on June 16, 2026.
The ABL Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to the Company; (vi) incur liens securing indebtedness; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates. In addition, the ABL Credit Facility contains a financial covenant which requires if any commitments or obligations are outstanding and the Company’s availability is less than the greater of $30 million or 10.0% of the aggregate amount of revolver commitments ($47.5 million at June 30, 2022) or 10.0% of the aggregate borrowing base ($47.5 million at June 30, 2022), then the Company must maintain a ratio of Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) minus certain capital expenditures and cash taxes paid to fixed charges of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent twelve fiscal month period.
The Company has the option to borrow under its revolver based on the agent’s base rate plus a premium ranging from 0.00% to 0.25% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a premium ranging from 1.25% to 2.75%.
On January 10, 2019, the Company entered into a -year forward starting fixed rate interest rate hedge in order to eliminate the variability of cash interest payments on $75 million of the outstanding LIBOR based borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. The interest rate hedge fixed the rate at 2.57%. Although the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the interest rate hedge agreement, the Company anticipates performance by the counterparty.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and had approximately $183 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of bank financing fees were included in “Prepaid expenses and other” and “Other long-term assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The financing fees are being amortized over the five-year term of the ABL Credit Facility and are included in “Interest and other expense on debt” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. |

| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] |
Metals swaps and embedded customer derivatives
During the first six months of 2022 and 2021, the Company entered into nickel swaps indexed to the London Metal Exchange (LME) price of nickel with third-party brokers. The nickel swaps are accounted for as derivatives for accounting purposes. The Company entered into them to mitigate its customers’ risk of volatility in the price of metals. The outstanding nickel swaps mature in 2022. The swaps are settled with the brokers at maturity. The economic benefit or loss arising from the changes in fair value of the swaps is contractually passed through to the customer. The primary risk associated with the metals swaps is the ability of customers or third-party brokers to honor their agreements with the Company related to derivative instruments. If the customer or third-party brokers are unable to honor their agreements, the Company’s risk of loss is the fair value of the metals swaps.
These derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments. The periodic changes in fair value of the metals and embedded customer derivative instruments are included in “Cost of materials sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company recognizes derivative positions with both the customer and the third party for the derivatives and classifies cash settlement amounts associated with them as part of “Cost of materials sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The cumulative change in fair value of the metals swaps that had not yet settled as of June 30, 2022 are included in “Other Accrued Liabilities”, and the embedded customer derivatives are included in “Accounts Receivable, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022.
Fixed rate interest rate hedge
On January 10, 2019, the Company entered into a -year forward starting fixed rate interest rate hedge in order to eliminate the variability of cash interest payments on $75 million of the outstanding LIBOR based borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. The interest rate hedge fixed the rate at 2.57%. The interest rate hedge is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022. Although the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the interest rate hedge agreement, the Company anticipates performance by the counterparty.
The table below shows the total impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income through net income of the derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The fair value of the interest rate hedge of $0.6 million, net of tax of $0.2 million is included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2022. The fair value of the interest rate hedge was $2.7 million, net of tax of $0.7 million at December 31, 2021. |

| Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] |
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Olympic Steel 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units (RSUs), performance shares, and other stock- and cash-based awards to employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its affiliates. Since adoption of the Incentive Plan, 1,400,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for equity grants.
On an annual basis, the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors awards RSUs to each non-employee director as part of their annual compensation. The annual awards for 2022 and 2021 per director were Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan and the RSU agreement, the RSUs vest after year of service (from the date of grant). The RSUs are not converted into shares of common stock until the director either resigns or is terminated from the board of directors.
Prior to 2021, under the Incentive Plan, each eligible participant was awarded RSUs with a dollar value equal to 10% of the participant’s base salary, up to an annual maximum of $17,500. The RSUs have a -year vesting period and the RSUs convert into the right to receive shares of common stock upon a participant’s retirement, or earlier upon the participant’s death or disability or upon a change in control of the Company. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no RSU awards were granted in 2021.
In January 2022, the Company adopted a new C-Suite Long-Term Incentive Plan (the C-Suite Plan) that operates under the Senior Manager Stock Incentive Plan. Under the C-Suite Plan, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer are eligible for participation. In each calendar year, eligible participants may be awarded a long-term incentive of both an RSU grant and a performance stock unit (PSU) grant. The total long-term award target is $1.1 million for the Chief Executive Officer, $0.3 million for the Chief Financial Officer and $0.6 million for the President and Chief Operating Officer. The PSUs will vest if the return on net assets, calculated as EBITDA divided by Average Accounts Receivable, Inventory and Property and Equipment, exceeds 5%. Each RSU and service-based cash incentive vests three years after the grant date. Each vested RSU will convert into the right to receive one share of common stock. During the first quarter of 2022, 20,000 RSUs and 20,000 PSUs were granted to the participants under the C-Suite Plan.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized on RSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is summarized in the following table:
All pre-tax charges related to RSUs were included in the caption “Administrative and general” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] |
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $14.0 million, or 27.1%, compared to an income tax provision of $10.8 million, or 26.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $27.8 million, or 27.0%, compared to an income tax provision of $18.7 million, or 26.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The tax provision for the interim period is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.
The quarterly tax provision and the quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in law and relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Additionally, the effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on the effective tax rate is greater when the pre-tax income is lower.

| Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] |
The Company follows the accounting guidance that requires the utilization of a “management approach” to define and report the financial results of operating segments. The management approach defines operating segments along the lines used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on operating income (loss). The operating segments are based primarily on internal management reporting.
The Company operates in three reportable segments; specialty metals flat products, carbon flat products, and tubular and pipe products. The specialty metals flat products segment and the carbon flat products segment are at times consolidated and referred to as the flat products segments, as certain of the flat products segments’ assets and resources are shared by the specialty metals and carbon flat products segments and both segments’ products are stored in the shared facilities and, in some locations, processed on shared equipment.
Corporate expenses are reported as a separate line item for segment reporting purposes. Corporate expenses include the unallocated expenses related to managing the entire Company (i.e., all three segments), including compensation for certain personnel, expenses related to being a publicly traded entity such as board of directors’ expenses, audit expenses and various other professional fees.
The following table provides financial information by segment and reconciles the Company’s operating income by segment to the consolidated income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
There were no material revenue transactions between the specialty metals products, carbon flat products and tubular and pipe products segments.
The Company sells certain products internationally, primarily in Canada and Mexico. International sales are immaterial to the consolidated financial results and to the individual segments’ results.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update, (ASU), No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The objective of this ASU is to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoptions of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
