Best Fourth Quarter and Full Year Operating Performance in a Decade
Acquisition of Columbus Recycling Assets Completed
Schnitzer Board Declares Quarterly Dividend
Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCHN) today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Highlights
The Company’s performance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 benefited from strong global market conditions for recycled metals, with average selling prices reaching multi-year highs and sales volumes for its ferrous and nonferrous products increasing year over year. Average selling prices for finished steel products also continued to increase during the quarter to their highest level in more than a decade, benefiting from the continued strength in West Coast demand. The Company began ramping up production at its steel mill ahead of schedule in mid-August following substantial completion of the replacement and repair of property and equipment lost and damaged due to a fire in May 2021. Finished steel sales volumes decreased significantly year over year as a result of the production outage.
For the full fiscal year, the Company’s improved performance was primarily driven by higher average selling prices for ferrous, nonferrous and finished steel products, benefits of operating leverage from significantly higher ferrous and nonferrous volumes year over year and execution of productivity improvements and commercial initiatives supported by the implementation of the One Schnitzer operating platform.
Tamara Lundgren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 results reflect our best operating performance in a decade. I am proud of what our team accomplished during a year in which we faced challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, logistics constraints and labor shortages. We stayed focused on our sustainability framework of People, Planet and Profit, delivering strong financial performance, strengthening our core operations through productivity initiatives, progressing strategic investments in advanced metal recovery technologies and increasing our sales volumes. Our efforts led to strong operating cash flow, which enabled us to reduce our debt to the lowest level since 2005, while continuing to return capital to shareholders and invest in our strategic initiatives to deliver growth.”
Ms. Lundgren continued, “We recently completed the acquisition of eight metals recycling facilities from Columbus Recycling, a leading provider of ferrous and nonferrous recycled metal products and services in the southeastern U.S. Combined with our existing facilities, this acquisition increases Schnitzer’s footprint to 22 operating facilities in the Southeast, a region that is expected to see a significant increase in electric arc furnace steelmaking capacity in the coming years. This brings our total number of operating facilities to 102 across North America. We also continued to advance the implementation of our advanced metal recovery technology, including the ramp-up of production at new systems in California and Georgia during the quarter. Extracting more nonferrous metals from our shredding activities is a significant value-added process and is directly aligned with global decarbonization and demand trends,” she added.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Review and Analysis
The Company delivered its best fiscal fourth quarter operating performance since fiscal 2011. Net income per ferrous ton was $38 and adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton was $69 in the fourth quarter, a strong year over year increase from $4 and $27, respectively. The benefits from increased average selling prices for ferrous and nonferrous recycled metals, as well as higher sales volumes for ferrous and nonferrous products year over year, were the primary drivers of the expansion in operating margins. The Company’s improved performance compared to the prior year quarter also reflected benefits from the execution of commercial initiatives and productivity improvements, notwithstanding the adverse impact of the fire to the steel mill contribution. In the fourth quarter, the Company recognized initial insurance recoveries of $10 million primarily related to the repair and replacement of property and equipment lost and damaged in the fire. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased primarily due to legacy environmental-related expenses of $13 million not associated with ongoing operations and higher employee-related expenses mainly associated with incentive compensation related to higher Company performance. Fourth quarter results also included benefits from average inventory accounting of approximately $4 per ferrous ton compared to benefits of $2 in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
Compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year, ferrous and nonferrous sales volumes were up 9% and 3%, respectively, even though ferrous sales volumes were adversely impacted by the delayed arrival of one ship and nonferrous sales volumes were constrained by tight container availability. Global demand for recycled metals remained strong with average ferrous and nonferrous net selling prices up 90% and 80% year over year, respectively. Finished steel sales volumes were down 53% and rolling mill utilization in the quarter was 28% due to the impact of the fire at the mill. Average net selling prices for finished steel products were up 49% year over year amid strong non-residential construction demand.
Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $139 million, as cash flows associated with increased profitability were enhanced by strong working capital management, including benefits from selling down inventory at the mill during the temporary production outage.
Capital expenditures were $42 million in the quarter, including investments in maintaining the business, environmental projects and advanced metal recovery technologies. Total debt at the end of the quarter was $75 million and debt, net of cash, was $47 million (for a reconciliation of adjusted results and debt, net of cash, to U.S. GAAP, see the table provided in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section). The Company has a revolving credit facility of $700 million and CAD$15 million that matures in 2023.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was an expense of 13%, lower sequentially due to certain discrete tax items recognized in the period.
During the fourth quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through its 110th consecutive quarterly dividend.
Completion of Acquisition of Columbus Recycling Assets
On October 1, 2021, the Company successfully closed its previously announced acquisition of eight metals recycling facilities across several states in the Southeast, including Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky, from Columbus Recycling, a leading provider of ferrous and nonferrous metal recycling products and services. In the twelve months through the end of August 2021, Columbus delivered annual sales volumes of approximately 300,000 ferrous tons and 40 million nonferrous pounds. Combined with Schnitzer’s existing facilities in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, the acquired operations offer additional recycling products, services and logistics solutions to customers and suppliers across the Southeast.
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.1875 per common share, payable November 22, 2021 to shareholders of record on November 8, 2021. Schnitzer has paid a dividend every quarter since going public in November 1993.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains performance based on adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to SSI shareholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), business development costs not related to ongoing operations, including pre-acquisition expenses, restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, charges related to non-ordinary course legal settlements, asset impairment charges, and the income tax (benefit) expense allocated to these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. We believe that presenting debt, net of cash is useful to investors as a measure of our leverage, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, and often contain words such as “outlook,” “target,” “aim,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “opinions,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,” “probable,” and similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
We may make other forward-looking statements from time to time, including in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, presentations and on public conference calls. All forward-looking statements we make are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Some of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Examples of these risks include: the impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of equipment upgrades, equipment failures and facility damage on production; potential environmental cleanup costs related to the Portland Harbor Superfund site or other locations; the cyclicality and impact of general economic conditions; changing conditions in global markets including the impact of sanctions and tariffs, quotas and other trade actions and import restrictions; volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for raw materials and other inputs we purchase; significant decreases in recycled metal prices; imbalances in supply and demand conditions in the global steel industry; difficulties associated with acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; supply chain disruptions; reliance on third party shipping companies, including with respect to freight rates and the availability of transportation; inability to obtain or renew business licenses and permits; the impact of goodwill impairment charges; the impact of long-lived asset and equity investment impairment charges; failure to realize or delays in realizing expected benefits from investments in processing and manufacturing technology improvements; inability to achieve or sustain the benefits from productivity, cost savings and restructuring initiatives; inability to renew facility leases; customer fulfillment of their contractual obligations; increases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar; the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; potential limitations on our ability to access capital resources and existing credit facilities; restrictions on our business and financial covenants under the agreement governing our bank credit facilities; the impact of consolidation in the steel industry; product liability claims; the impact of legal proceedings and legal compliance; the adverse impact of climate change; the impact of not realizing deferred tax assets; the impact of tax increases and changes in tax rules; the impact of one or more cybersecurity incidents; environmental compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities; compliance with climate change and greenhouse gas emission laws and regulations; the impact of labor shortages or increased labor costs; reliance on employees subject to collective bargaining agreements; and the impact of the underfunded status of multiemployer plans in which we participate.
