NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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 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. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation with respect to the interim financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.s (We, Reliance or the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. The ownership of the other interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests. Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are recorded under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted
On January 1, 2012, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to adopt the two-statement option. The new guidance eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. Other than the change in presentation, the adoption of these changes had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The new guidance also required entities to present reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. However, in December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which indefinitely defers the guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.
On January 1, 2012, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to provide a consistent definition of fair value and to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance changed certain fair value measurement principles and enhanced the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions
2012 Acquisition
Effective February 1, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Diamond Manufacturing Company, we acquired McKey Perforating Co., Inc. (McKey), headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin and its subsidiary, McKey Perforated Products Co., Inc., located in Manchester, Tennessee. McKey was founded in 1867 and is a contract manufacturer that provides a full range of metal perforating and fabrication services to customers located primarily in the U.S. McKey had net sales of $3.6 million for the two months ended March 31, 2012.
2011 Acquisition
Effective August 1, 2011, we acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (Continental), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies for a combined transaction value of approximately $440.8 million. Continental is a leading global materials management company focused on high-end steel and alloy pipe, tube and bar products and precision manufacturing of various tools designed for well completion programs of global energy service companies and has 12 locations in seven countries including Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, the U.A.E., the United Kingdom, and the United States. This acquisition aligns well with our diversification strategy by increasing our exposure to the fast growing energy market, including the addition of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) products, new processing capabilities, and entry into new international markets. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of approximately $125.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The purchase price allocation for Continental and McKey are preliminary and are pending the completion of various pre- and post-acquisition period income tax returns.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Intangible assets recorded in connection with the McKey acquisition were $2.3 million (see Note 3). We recognized amortization expense for intangible assets of $10.2 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Other changes in intangible assets, net during the three months ended March 31, 2012 are due to foreign currency translation gains of $2.9 million.

On July 26, 2011, we amended and restated the existing syndicated credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, and to extend the maturity date of the credit facility for a five-year term to July 26, 2016. The amended and restated revolving credit facility has 26 banks as lenders. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.50% or the bank prime rate plus 0.50% as of March 31, 2012. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of March 31, 2012. The applicable margin over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined.
Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 1.74% and 1.78% as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, we had $35.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $214.5 million of letters of credit.

Revolving Credit Facilities Foreign Operations
Various other separate revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $24.2 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $11.6 million and $11.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Senior Unsecured Notes Private Placements
We have $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt as of March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, the outstanding senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% and have a remaining life of 1.3 years, maturing in July 2013.
Senior Unsecured Notes Publicly Traded
On November 20, 2006, we entered into an Indenture (the Indenture), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Reliance and rank equally with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Reliance. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that, in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of our credit rating, require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.
Covenants
The amended and restated revolving credit facility and the senior unsecured note agreements collectively require us to maintain a minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and include a change of control provision, among other things. Our interest coverage ratio for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2012 was approximately 10.1 times compared to the debt covenant minimum requirement of 3.0 times (interest coverage ratio is calculated as net income attributable to Reliance plus interest expense and provision for income taxes and plus or minus any non-operating non-recurring loss or gain, respectively, divided by interest expense). Our leverage ratio as of March 31, 2012 calculated in accordance with the terms of the revolving credit facility was 31.0% compared to the financial covenant maximum amount of 60% (leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of capital lease obligations and outstanding letters of credit, divided by Reliance shareholders equity plus total debt). The minimum net worth requirement as of March 31, 2012 was $1.09 billion compared to Reliance shareholders equity balance of $3.27 billion as of March 31, 2012.
Additionally, all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Indenture and the private placement notes. The subsidiary guarantors, together with Reliance, are required collectively to account for at least 80% of our consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 86% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 89% of total consolidated tangible assets as of March 31, 2012.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2012.

8. Equity
Common Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we issued 114,416 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options for total proceeds of approximately $4.6 million.
Share Based Compensation
On March 16, 2012, we granted 391,050 restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. Each RSU has a service condition and cliff vests at December 31, 2014 and consists of the right to receive one share of our common stock and dividend equivalent rights, subject to forfeiture, equal to the accrued cash or stock dividends where the record date for such dividends is after the grant date but before the shares vest. In addition to the service criteria, 138,700 of the RSUs also have performance goals and vest only upon the satisfaction of the service and performance criteria. The fair value of the restricted stock units granted was $57.42 per share, determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.
Share Repurchase Program
As of March 31, 2012, 7,883,033 shares of common stock remain authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program. No shares were repurchased in 2012 or 2011. Repurchased shares are redeemed and treated as authorized but unissued shares.

Unrealized loss on investments and minimum pension liability are net of taxes of $0.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
We are currently involved with certain environmental remediation projects related to activities at former manufacturing operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Earle M. Jorgensen Company (EMJ) that were sold many years prior to our acquisition of EMJ in 2006. Although the potential cleanup costs could be significant, EMJ had insurance policies in place at the time they owned the manufacturing operations that are expected to cover the majority of the related costs. We do not expect that these obligations will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

11. Subsequent Events
Effective April, 27, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Precision Strip, Inc., we acquired the assets of the Worthington Steel Vonore, Tennessee plant, a processing facility owned by Worthington Industries, Inc. The Vonore plant operates as a Precision Strip, Inc. location which processes and delivers carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel products on a toll basis, processing the metal for a fee without taking ownership of the metal.
Effective April 4, 2012, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of National Specialty Alloys, LLC (NSA), a global specialty alloy processor and distributor of premium stainless steel and nickel alloy bars and shapes, headquartered in Houston, Texas. NSA was founded in 1985 and has additional locations in Anaheim, California, Buford, Georgia and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Net sales of NSA for the twelve months ended October 31, 2011 were approximately $96.0 million.
We funded these acquisitions with borrowings of approximately $101.9 million on our revolving credit facility.

12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
In November 2006, we issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million at fixed interest rates that are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to Rule 3-10 of SEC Regulation S-X Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several obligations of each of the guarantor subsidiaries. There are no significant restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from any of the guarantor subsidiaries by dividends or loans. The supplemental consolidating financial information has been presented in lieu of separate financial statements of the guarantors as such separate financial statements are not considered meaningful.

RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements relating to future financial results. Actual results may differ materially as a result of factors over which Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. has no control. These risk factors and additional information are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
2012 Acquisitions
Effective April, 27, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Precision Strip, Inc., we acquired the assets of the Worthington Steel Vonore, Tennessee plant, a processing facility owned by Worthington Industries, Inc. The Vonore plant operates as a Precision Strip, Inc. location which processes and delivers carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel products on a toll basis, processing the metal for a fee without taking ownership of the metal.
Effective April 4, 2012, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of National Specialty Alloys, LLC (NSA), a global specialty alloy processor and distributor of premium stainless steel and nickel alloy bars and shapes, headquartered in Houston, Texas. NSA was founded in 1985 and has additional locations in Anaheim, California, Buford, Georgia and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Net sales of NSA for the twelve months ended October 31, 2011 were approximately $96.0 million.
Effective February 1, 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Diamond Manufacturing Company, we acquired McKey Perforating Co., Inc. (McKey), headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin and its subsidiary, McKey Perforated Products Co., Inc., located in Manchester, Tennessee. McKey was founded in 1867 and is a contract manufacturer that provides a full range of metal perforating and fabrication services to customers located primarily in the U.S. McKey had net sales of $3.6 million for the two months ended March 31, 2012.
2011 Acquisition
Effective August 1, 2011, we acquired all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. (Continental), headquartered in Houston, Texas, and certain affiliated companies for a combined transaction value of approximately $440.8 million. Continental is a leading global materials management company focused on high-end steel and alloy pipe, tube and bar products and precision manufacturing of various tools designed for well completion programs of global energy service companies and has 12 locations in seven countries including Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, the U.A.E., the United Kingdom, and the United States. This acquisition aligns well with our diversification strategy by increasing our exposure to the fast growing energy market, including the addition of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) products, new processing capabilities, and entry into new international markets. Continental and its affiliates had combined net sales of approximately $125.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

(1) 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 expense associated with the corresponding sales. The majority 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, are not significant and are excluded from our cost of sales. Therefore, our cost of sales is primarily 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 fluctuations in our gross profit and gross profit margin 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.

Tons sold and average selling price per ton sold amounts exclude our toll processing sales. Same-store amounts exclude the results of our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions.
We have continued to see steady improvement in our tons sold in 2012. In general, business activity in most all of our markets served is better in 2012 than in the same period in 2011. In 2012, our strongest markets continue to be energy, oil and gas, aerospace, farm and heavy equipment, auto (through our toll processing businesses), general manufacturing and semiconductor and electronics. We have seen improvements again in our non-residential construction related business mainly through industrial construction projects, but it still lags the growth we have seen in other areas.
Our major commodity selling prices changed during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 from the same period in 2011 as follows: carbon steel up 5.1%; aluminum up 1.8%; stainless steel down 3.5%; and alloy up 9.6%. Mill prices for carbon, alloy and aluminum products were generally higher in the 2012 first quarter as compared to the 2011 first quarter, allowing us to increase our selling prices to our customers. The stainless steel price decline was mainly due to fluctuations in the nickel surcharge, which is primarily driven by global market price for nickel. In general, fluctuations in mill prices for our products in 2011 and so far in 2012 have mainly been driven by raw material costs at the mills.

The increase in cost of sales in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 is due to increase in tons sold, as well as increased costs for most products we sell compared to the same period in 2011 (see Net Sales above for trends in both demand and costs of our products).
Our LIFO reserve adjustment, which is included in our cost of sales and, in effect, reflects cost of sales at current replacement costs, resulted in a charge, or expense, of $7.5 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to a charge, or expense, of $20.0 million in the same period in 2011.
We currently estimate our full year 2012 LIFO adjustment to be a charge, or expense, of $30.0 million as we expect that both our quantities and our average cost of inventory at December 31, 2012 will be higher than at January 1, 2012.

Our gross profit margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was lower than our gross profit margin in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 due to an environment of steady and significant price increases experienced in the 2011 three-month period. This type of pricing environment allows us to enhance our gross profit margins as we were able to increase our selling prices in advance of receiving the higher cost material. Although mills did announce price increases in the 2012 first quarter for certain of our products, they were smaller in scale and faced some resistance in the market, which pressured our ability to pass the increases on to our customers. See also Cost of Sales above for discussion of our LIFO reserve adjustments.

Our three-month period ended March 31, 2012 warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative expense (S,G&A expense) as a percent of net sales decreased as compared to the same period in 2011 because of our higher sales volumes and pricing on a relatively consistent cost structure. The additional expenses of our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions, increases in variable compensation expenses due to both increased volume and profits, and increases in certain warehouse and delivery expenses that resulted from improved demand and increased fuel costs accounted for most of the increase in S,G&A expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to our 2012 and 2011 acquisitions and depreciation expense from our recent capital expenditures.

The higher gross profit dollars generated on higher sales offset by only moderate increases in S,G&A expense significantly improved our operating income level in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Our operating income margins, however, were consistent in both periods as the impact of lower gross profit margins in the three month period March 31, 2012 was offset by a decrease in our SG&A expense as a percent of net sales due to our ability to effectively leverage our cost structure with improved demand for our products.
Income Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was 33.2% compared to our 2011 three-month rate of 33.3%. Permanent items that impacted our effective income tax rates were not materially different in amounts during these periods and relate mainly to company-owned life insurance policies and domestic production activities deductions.

The increase in net income attributable to Reliance in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of more favorable demand for our products, which has allowed us to generate increased gross profit dollars with relatively lower increases in our operating expenses, and from our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $63.2 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $101.4 million in the same period in 2011. As a result of increased demand levels and higher mill prices from December 31, 2011, our working capital, primarily accounts receivable and inventories, has increased from year-end levels. However, we were able to fund these increases partially with our profitable business activities, increases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses and borrowings on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Our receivables and FIFO inventories increased by $143.6 million and $189.7 million, respectively, from December 31, 2011 levels, offset with increases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $97.9 million.
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 March 31, 2012 our days sales outstanding rate was approximately 41.2 days compared to 41.6 days at December 31, 2011. Our inventory turn rate (based on dollars) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was about 4.3 times (or 2.8 months on hand), compared to our 2011 annual rate of 4.4 times (or 2.7 months on hand). Our turns were impacted by the Continental acquisition in August 2011. Excluding Continental, our 2012 inventory turn rate (based on dollars) was 4.6 times (or 2.6 months on hand).
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $34.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $35.8 million during the same period in 2011. The majority of our 2012 capital expenditures relate to growth initiatives to expand or relocate existing facilities, purchase properties that were previously leased and to add or upgrade equipment in addition to meeting ongoing maintenance requirements. Our 2012 capital expenditures are budgeted at approximately $250 million.
Financing Activities
The increase in our working capital, our 2012 capital expenditures and the acquisition of McKey were largely funded by our cash from operations and net borrowings of $100.0 million on our credit facility. We paid dividends to our shareholders of $11.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. On February 14, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a 25% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend from $0.12 per share to $0.15 per share, effective with our first quarter 2012 dividend. On April 24, 2012, our Board of Directors declared the 2012 second quarter cash dividend of $0.15 per share. We have paid regular quarterly dividends to our shareholders for 53 consecutive years.
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are our internally generated funds from operations and our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Our total outstanding debt at March 31, 2012 was $1.43 billion, up from $1.33 billion at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, we had $745.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.
On July 26, 2011, we amended and restated the existing syndicated credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, and to extend the maturity date of the credit facility for a five-year term to July 26, 2016. The amended and restated revolving credit facility has 26 banks as lenders. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.50% or the bank prime rate plus 0.50% as of March 31, 2012. The amended and restated revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.25% as of March 31, 2012. The applicable margin over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined.
We also have various other separate revolving credit facilities in place for our operations in Asia and Europe with a combined credit limit of approximately $24.2 million and with combined outstanding balances of $11.6 million and $11.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Capital Resources
On November 20, 2006 we entered into an Indenture (the Indenture), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that, in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of our credit rating, require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.
At March 31, 2012, we also had $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt. The outstanding senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% and have a remaining life of 1.3 years, maturing in July 2013.
Our net debt-to-total capital ratio was 29.4% at March 31, 2012; up from our 2011 year-end rate of 28.4% (net debt-to-total capital is calculated as total debt, net of cash, divided by Reliance shareholders equity plus total debt, net of cash).
As of March 31, 2012, we had $87.7 million of debt obligations coming due before our new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility expires on July 26, 2016. We are comfortable that we will have adequate cash flow and capacity on our revolving credit facility to fund our debt obligations as well as our working capital, capital expenditure, growth and other needs. We expect to continue our acquisition and other growth activities in the future and anticipate that we will be able to fund such activities with cash from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the near term.
Covenants
Our amended and restated revolving credit facility and senior notes collectively require that we maintain a minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio, and a maximum leverage ratio and include change of control provisions, among other things. The interest coverage ratio for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2012 was approximately 10.1 times compared to the debt covenant minimum requirement of 3.0 times (interest coverage ratio is calculated as net income attributable to Reliance plus interest expense and provision for income taxes and plus or minus any non-operating non-recurring loss or gain, respectively, divided by interest expense). The leverage ratio at March 31, 2012, calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement, was 31.0% compared to the debt covenant maximum amount of 60% (leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of capital lease obligations and outstanding letters of credit, divided by Reliance shareholders equity plus total debt). The minimum net worth requirement at March 31, 2012 was $1.09 billion compared to the Reliance shareholders equity balance of $3.27 billion at March 31, 2012.
Additionally, all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Indenture and the private placement notes. The subsidiary guarantors, together with Reliance, are required collectively to account for at least 80% of our consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 86% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 89% of total consolidated tangible assets as of March 31, 2012.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2012.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We had no material changes in commitments for capital expenditures, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations as of March 31, 2012, 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, 2011.
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. As a result of our geographic, product and customer diversity, however, our operations have not shown any material seasonal trends. Revenues in the months of July, November and December traditionally have been lower than in other months because of a reduced number of working days for shipments of our products, resulting from vacation and holiday closures at some of our customers. We cannot assure you that period-to-period fluctuations will not occur in the future. Results of any one or more quarters are therefore not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2012, we revised our internal reporting package for our Chief Operation Decision Maker (our Chief Executive Officer) and our Board of Directors in order to better align internal reporting with the way performance is measured and key resource allocation decisions are made, which are primarily based on enterprise level data. As part of the segment reassessment process triggered by this change, we concluded that we have one operating segment and also one reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes. There was no change in our reportable segments; we have one reportable segment, metals service centers.
Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $1.25 billion at March 31, 2012, or approximately 21.1% of total assets, or 38.3% of Reliance shareholders equity. Additionally, other intangible assets, net amounted to $890.9 million at March 31, 2012, or approximately 15.0% of total assets, or 27.3% of Reliance shareholders equity. We review the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives annually or whenever significant events or changes occur, which might impair the recovery of recorded amounts. Our most recently completed annual impairment tests of goodwill were performed as of November 1, 2011 and updated for any significant developments or changes through December, 31, 2011. We determined that the recorded amounts for goodwill were recoverable and that no impairment existed. Our 2012 annual impairment tests of goodwill will be performed as of November 1, 2012. Other intangible assets with finite useful lives continue to be
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.
Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and the current changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to commodity prices, demand and future growth rates or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the assumptions used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions could produce a significantly different result. Furthermore, significant declines in the market conditions for our products as well as significant decreases in the price of our common stock could also impact our impairment analysis. However, as of March 31, 2012, we have noted no indications of impairment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Managements 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. generally accepted accounting principles. When we prepare these 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, deferred tax assets, goodwill and 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 liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
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 see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We do not believe that any of the new accounting guidance implemented during 2012 changed our critical accounting policies.
New Accounting Guidance
See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure on new accounting guidance issued or implemented.
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, metals pricing, demand and availability. There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures since December 31, 2011. Please refer to Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further discussion on quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
Item 4. Controls And Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to and as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. 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 Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
