In its second quarter of 2025, Russel Metals reported a revenue of $1.2 billion, marking a 3% increase from the previous quarter and the highest level since mid-2022. The company achieved an EBITDA of $108 million, up 26% from the first quarter, and an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.07, reflecting a 43% increase.
Key financial highlights include an EBITDA margin improvement to 9.0% from 7.3% in the previous quarter and an annualized return on capital of 20%. The company also executed $22 million in share buybacks and distributed $24 million in dividends. Russel Metals maintained a strong capital structure with $566 million in liquidity.
