NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
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, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.s (Reliance, the Company, we, our or us) 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
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting StandardsAdopted
Comprehensive Income Reporting and DisclosuresOn January 1, 2013, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which require additional disclosures for the reclassification of significant amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net income. This guidance requires that the effect of certain significant amounts be presented either on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or in a single note. For other amounts, we are required to cross-reference disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisitions
2013 Acquisitions
On November 1, 2013, through our wholly-owned subsidiary American Metals Corporation, we acquired Haskins Steel Co., Inc. (Haskins Steel), located in Spokane, Washington. Founded in 1955, Haskins Steel processes and distributes primarily carbon steel and aluminum products of various shapes and sizes to a diverse customer base in the Pacific Northwest. Their in-house processing capabilities include shearing, sawing, burning and forming. Net sales of Haskins Steel for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $8.0 million.
On April 30, 2013, we acquired Travel Main Holdings, LLC (Travel Main), a real estate holding company with a portfolio of 18 real estate properties, all of which are leased by certain of our subsidiaries. The transaction value of $78.9 million included the assumption of $43.8 million of indebtedness. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
On April 12, 2013, we acquired Metals USA Holdings Corp. (Metals USA). Metals USA is one of the largest metals service center businesses in the United States and a leading provider of value-added processed aluminum, brass, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, manufactured metal components and inventory management services. Metals USA sells its products and services to a diverse customer base and broad range of end markets, including the aerospace, auto, defense, heavy equipment, marine transportation, commercial construction, office furniture manufacturing, energy and oilfield service industries, among several others. This acquisition added a total of 44 service centers strategically located throughout the United States to our existing operations and complements our existing customer base, product mix and geographic footprint. Net sales of Metals USA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $454.5 million.
The purchase price for Metals USA of $766.8 million along with assumed debt of $486.1 million represented a total transaction value of approximately $1.25 billion. We funded the transaction and refinanced all but $12.3 million of Metals USAs debt with proceeds from our $500.0 million term loan, which we entered into in April 2013, and our April 2013 $500.0 million senior notes offering, with the balance drawn on our existing revolving credit facility (see Note 7). During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we incurred approximately $3.1 million in transaction related costs, which are included in warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administration expenses.
The allocation of the total purchase price of Metals USA to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

Purchase price allocations
The acquisitions discussed in this note have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the respective purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of each acquisition. The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the revenues and expenses of each acquisition since its respective acquisition date. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the allocation of each acquisitions purchase price as of March 31, 2014, as applicable. The purchase price allocation for the Haskins Steel acquisition is preliminary and is pending the completion of pre-acquisition period income tax returns. The measurement periods for purchase price allocations do not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date.
Pro forma financial information
The following pro forma summary financial results present the consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of Metals USA had occurred as of January 1, 2013, after the effect of certain adjustments, including interest expense on the acquisition debt, non-recurring acquisition related costs, and amortization of certain identifiable intangible assets. The pro forma summary financial results reflect Metals USAs historical method for inventory valuation, which was the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the majority of its inventories. Metals USA adopted the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation upon acquisition. The pro forma summary financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 excluded approximately $5.2 million of acquisition and related costs.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
We recognized amortization expense for intangible assets of $14.1 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other changes in intangible assets, net during the three months ended March 31, 2014 are due to foreign currency translation losses of $3.0 million.
The following is a summary of estimated aggregated amortization expense for the remaining nine months of 2014 and each of the succeeding five years:

6. Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 34.5% and 29.5%, respectively. Permanent items that lowered our effective income tax rates from the federal statutory rate were not materially different in amounts during both years and relate mainly to company-owned life insurance policies, domestic production activities deductions and foreign income levels that are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. Additionally, our 2013 three-month period effective income tax rate was favorably impacted from the settlement of certain tax matters.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 4, 2013, we entered into a syndicated Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with 26 banks as lenders (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement amended and restated our existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and provided for a $500.0 million term loan and an option to increase the revolving credit facility for up to $500.0 million at our request, subject to approval of the lenders and certain other conditions. The term loan due April 4, 2018 amortizes in quarterly installments, with an annual amortization of 5% through March 2015 and 10% thereafter until March 2018, with the balance to be paid at maturity. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility during the three-month period ending March 31, 2014 was at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.25% or the bank prime rate plus 0.25% and included a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% on the unused portion. The applicable margins over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined.
RELIANCE STEEL & ALUMINUM CO.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 1.40% and 1.41% as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, we had $59.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $190.8 million of letters of credit.
Senior Unsecured Notes Publicly Traded
On November 20, 2006 we entered into an indenture (the 2006 Indenture), for the issuance of $600.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350.0 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) $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036.
On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the 2013 Indenture and, together with the 2006 Indenture, the Indentures), for the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to partially fund the acquisition of Metals USA.
Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The notes are guaranteed by our named 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our revolving credit facility. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of our credit rating.
Other Notes and Revolving Credit Facilities
Other revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $21.6 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $9.8 million and $9.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Pursuant to our acquisition of Metals USA, we assumed industrial revenue bonds with combined outstanding balances of $11.9 million as of March 31, 2014 that have maturities through 2027. Additionally, we assumed mortgage obligations pursuant to our acquisition of Travel Main, which have outstanding balances of $42.7 million as of March 31, 2014. The mortgages, which are secured by the underlying properties, have a fixed interest rate of 6.40% and scheduled amortization payments with a lump sum payment of $39.2 million due October 2016.
Covenants
The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain an interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, among other things.
Additionally, our named 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Indentures. 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.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2014.

8. Equity
Common Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 174,136 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of employee stock options for total proceeds of approximately $8.4 million.
Dividends
On April 22, 2014, our Board of Directors declared the 2014 second quarter cash dividend of $0.35 per share. The dividend is payable on June 20, 2014 to shareholders of record as of May 30, 2014.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share, or $27.1 million in total, compared to a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, or $22.9 million in total, for the same period in 2013.
Share-Based Compensation
On March 25, 2014, we granted a total of 349,380 restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. Each RSU 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. Each 2014 RSU granted has a service condition and cliff vests at December 31, 2016, if the recipient is an employee on that date. In addition to the service criteria, 136,162 of the RSUs granted in 2014 also have performance goals and vest only upon the satisfaction of the service and performance criteria. The fair value of the 2014 RSUs granted was $71.15, the closing price of our common stock on the day before the grant.
Share Repurchase Program
As of March 31, 2014, 7,883,033 shares of common stock remain authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program. No shares were repurchased in 2014 or 2013. Repurchased shares are redeemed and treated as authorized but unissued shares.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental 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.
Legal Matters
On April 29, 2014, a judgment was entered against the Company and its subsidiary, Chapel Steel Corp. (Chapel), along with four other co-defendants, in an antitrust lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. As disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reliance has been involved in this legal proceeding brought by two former employees who left the Company to start their own business and claim that Reliance and the co-defendants engaged in anticompetitive activities. The judgment, entered against all six defendants jointly and severally, awarded the plaintiff $156 million in damages, representing a trebling under federal antitrust laws of the jury verdict of $52 million in damages. Reliance and Chapel disagree with the judgment and damages award and intend to pursue all available remedies, including taking the matter up on appeal. Despite the judgment, Reliance currently believes a reasonable range of its potential loss in this matter is between $10 million and $39 million. The low end of the estimated range of potential loss is based on our current belief that we may be successful in our efforts, including any appeal or other proceeding, in reducing the judgment and/or settling this matter. The high end of the estimated range of potential loss represents our estimate of Reliances maximum share of the judgment should we be unsuccessful in reducing the judgment or settling the matter at a lower amount. We have determined that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount and, therefore, have accrued to the minimum amount of the range. Our estimated range of potential loss is based on our opinion regarding the current status and likelihood of final resolution through appeal or other proceedings, and could change as a result of developments in the appeal or other proceedings or if the likelihood of settlement changes. The ultimate financial obligation resulting from resolution of this matter could vary, perhaps materially, from our estimated range of potential loss.
From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions. Generally, these actions arise out of our normal course of business. Except as disclosed above, we are not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to the business. We expect that these other matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We maintain liability insurance against risks arising out of our ordinary course of business.

11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
In November 2006 and April 2013, we issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, at fixed interest rates that are guaranteed by our named 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee borrowings under the Credit Agreement. 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.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our forward-looking statements include discussions of our business strategies and our expectations concerning future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, could, would, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential and continue, the negative of these terms, and similar expressions. All statements contained in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on managements estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date of such statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, but not limited to, those disclosed in this report and in other reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). As a result, these statements speak only as of the date that they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Important risks and uncertainties about our business can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC.
Overview
Economic activity in 2014 appears to be on an upward trend, with both demand and pricing increasing sequentially for three months in a row during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our sales increased 26.1% with our tons sold up 38.6% in the three-month period of 2014 compared to the comparable 2013 period mainly due to our acquisition of Metals USA Holdings Corp. (Metals USA) in April 2013. We saw meaningful improvement in our same-store tons sold in the 2014 first quarter, with our tons increasing 8.4% from the 2013 first quarter, well ahead of the industry data reported by the Metals Service Center Institute, which was up 2.5% during the same period.
In the 2014 first quarter, our sales to the auto industry, mainly through our toll processing operations, along with sales into the aerospace and heavy industries continued to perform well. Non-residential construction showed indications of improving demand, however, overall activity levels in the non-residential construction end market remain well below the peak levels in 2006. We expect the energy (oil and gas) market to modestly improve during the remainder of 2014.
Metals pricing increased somewhat from the 2013 fourth quarter, however, overall pricing was lower than in the 2013 first quarter. Our average selling price was down 8.7%, partially due to product mix. Carbon steel price increases were announced early in the quarter, but then declined somewhat mid-quarter. This created a competitive market, pressuring gross profit margins.
We believe our teams in the field did an excellent job servicing their customers, allowing us to increase market share and maintain our gross profit margins at 25.4%, which is within our historical range of 25%-27%.
Our operating income was negatively impacted by the lower pricing levels as compared to the 2013 first quarter. However, excluding non-recurring litigation charges relating to the antitrust litigation matter and Metals USA transaction related costs, operating income increased 23.5%, in line with our 26.1% increase in net sales. Higher financing costs associated with the borrowings to fund our 2013 acquisitions and a higher effective income tax rate in the 2014 first quarter offset the increase in operating income and contributed to the modest increase in our net income of 4.2%.
As mentioned, we acquired Metals USA in April 2013 which contributed $454.5 million to our 2014 first quarter sales. We also acquired Haskins Steel Co., Inc. (Haskins Steel) in November 2013, which contributed $8.0 million to our 2014 first quarter sales. We invested $28.9 million in capital expenditures in the three-months ended March 31, 2014, with the majority related to growth activities. We increased our return of cash to shareholders, with a 16.7% increase in our regular quarterly dividend rate compared to the 2013 first quarter.
As of March 31, 2014, our net debt-to-capital ratio was 33.8%, down from 34.3% as of December 31, 2013 and down from 39.4% upon funding the Metals USA acquisition in April 2013.
We believe that, given continued improvement in demand, especially for non-residential construction, and increased metals pricing levels we have current capacity for meaningfully higher earnings, given our exposure to high-growth industries such as aerospace and energy, our broad and diverse product base, and our wide geographic footprint. We are cautiously optimistic that the U.S. economy will continue its recovery throughout 2014, resulting in better demand and pricing for our products.
We will continue to focus on working capital management, maximizing profitability of our existing businesses and achieving profitable growth through both acquisitions and internal investment. Our operating and growth strategies have helped us achieve industry-leading operating results on a consistent basis and we remain confident in our ability to continue our track record of success going forward.
2013 Acquisitions
On November 1, 2013, we acquired Haskins Steel, located in Spokane, Washington. Founded in 1955, Haskins Steel processes and distributes primarily carbon steel and aluminum products of various shapes and sizes to a diverse customer base in the Pacific Northwest. Their in-house processing capabilities include shearing, sawing, burning and forming. Net sales of Haskins Steel for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $8.0 million.
On April 30, 2013, we acquired Travel Main Holdings, LLC (Travel Main), a real estate holding company with a portfolio of 18 real estate properties, all of which are leased by certain of our subsidiaries. The transaction value of $78.9 million included the assumption of $43.8 million of indebtedness.
On April 12, 2013, we acquired Metals USA. Metals USA is one of the largest metals service center businesses in the United States and a leading provider of value-added processed aluminum, brass, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, manufactured metal components and inventory management services. Metals USA sells its products and services to a diverse customer base and broad range of end markets, including the aerospace, auto, defense, heavy equipment, marine transportation, commercial construction, office furniture manufacturing, energy and oilfield service industries, among several others. This acquisition added a total of 44 service centers strategically located throughout the United States to our existing operations and complements our existing customer base, product mix and geographic footprint. Net sales of Metals USA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $454.5 million.

(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 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 2013 acquisitions.
Our consolidated sales and tons sold are up significantly in the 2014 period as compared to 2013, mainly due to our acquisition of Metals USA in April of 2013. Metals USA contributed $454.5 million of net sales in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. Business activity in most all of our end markets was higher in the 2014 three-month period compared to 2013. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, same-store tons sold were up 8.4% from the same period in 2013, well above the industry data reported by the Metals Service Center Institute, which was up 2.5% during the same period. One end market that continues to perform well for us in the 2014 three-month period as compared to the comparable 2013 period was auto, primarily through our toll processing businesses in the U.S. and Mexico. Our other major industries that performed reasonably well were aerospace, energy, and heavy industry. Non-residential construction, our largest end market, is showing the beginning signs of a recovery, albeit at significantly reduced demand levels from its peak in 2006.
Since we primarily purchase and sell our inventories in the spot market, the changes in our average selling prices generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in the costs of the various metals we purchase. The mix of products sold can also have an impact on our average selling prices.
The most significant challenge in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 continues to be metals pricing. Though our average selling prices increased sequentially throughout the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, we did experience volatility in pricing for certain of our products during the quarter. Our same-store average selling price continues to be below that observed in the 2013 first-half and 2012 due to still below normal demand levels and lower mill pricing generally attributable to increased imports and increased domestic capacity for many of the products we sell. Lower London Metal Exchange aluminum prices and reduced nickel surcharges were primarily responsible for the drop in common alloy aluminum and stainless steel prices, respectively.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 we experienced lower same-store selling prices as compared to the same period in 2013 across all our products, as follows: carbon steel decreased 0.9%; aluminum decreased 3.4%; stainless steel decreased 6.0%; and alloy decreased 3.5%. As carbon steel sales represent approximately 55% of our sales dollars, changes in carbon steel prices have the most significant impact on changes in our overall average price per ton sold.
Our Metals USA acquisition in April 2013 has lowered our average selling price somewhat as Metals USAs product mix is more heavily weighted toward carbon steel products than our overall company-wide mix and carbon steel products generally have lower prices than the other products we sell. In the 2014 three-month period carbon steel products represented 55% of total sales compared to 50% in the comparable 2013 period.

The increase in cost of sales in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 is mainly due to increases in our tons sold resulting from our 2013 acquisitions offset by lower mill pricing for most of our products. See Net Sales above for trends in both demand and costs of our products.
Our LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustment, which is included in our cost of sales and, in effect, reflects cost of sales at current replacement costs, resulted in a debit, or expense, of $5.0 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to a credit, or income, of $5.0 million in the same period in 2013. Higher metal costs in 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 levels resulted in LIFO expense.

The increase in our gross profit in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to the contribution from our acquisition of Metals USA on April 12, 2013, which was somewhat offset by the impact of the overall decline in our selling prices. See Net Sales and Cost of Sales for further discussion on product pricing trends and our inventory LIFO valuation reserve adjustments, respectively.
Our gross profit margin was within our historical range of 25% to 27%. The decline in our gross margin was mainly due to a competitive pricing environment given uncertainty due to metal price volatility.

Our expenses increased mainly due to the additional expenses of our 2013 acquisitions and legal costs and accruals associated with the antitrust litigation matter. Excluding the $10.3 million of charges related to the antitrust litigation matter, our same-store S,G&A expense in the 2014 three-month period was flat with the 2013 comparable period and our expense as a percent of sales decreased to 16.9%. For further discussion of our pending litigation matter, see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to our 2013 acquisitions and depreciation expense from our recent capital expenditures.

Our operating income was higher due primarily to the contributions of our 2013 acquisitions. Our operating margin declined in 2014 mainly due to declines in our selling prices along with non-recurring legal costs and accruals relating to a litigation matter.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 interest expense increased primarily due to the new $500.0 million term loan and proceeds from our $500.0 million senior notes offering to fund our $1.25 billion acquisition of Metals USA in April 2013. See discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The change in other income, net was primarily due to lower income from company-owned life insurance policies.
Income Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 34.5% and 29.5%, respectively. Permanent items that lowered our effective income tax rates from the federal statutory rate were not materially different in amounts during both years and relate mainly to company-owned life insurance policies, domestic production activities deductions and foreign income levels that are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. Additionally, our 2013 three-month period effective income tax rate was favorably impacted from the settlement of certain tax matters.
