<br> # **Olympic Steel Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Results** 
 ***Second most profitable year in Company history; operating discipline and diversification strategy deliver more consistent results in all market cycles*** 

 ***January 2023 acquisition of Metal-Fab immediately accretive; broadens product offerings, manufacturing capabilities and geographic reach*** 

 ***Strong balance sheet, record cash flow and increased access to capital enable Company to continue investing in higher-return growth opportunities*** 

 ***Quarterly dividend increased from $0.09 to $0.125 per share*** 

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 23, 2023--**Olympic Steel, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZEUS),** a leading national metals service center, today announced results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

 **Fourth-Quarter Results**

Net income for the fourth quarter totaled $4.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with net income of $24.9 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. The results include $0.9 million of LIFO pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with $9.9 million of LIFO pre-tax expense in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $11.9 million, compared with $51.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $520 million, compared with $625 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 **Full-Year Results**

Net income for 2022 totaled $90.9 million, or $7.87 per diluted share, compared with net income of $121.1 million, or $10.52 per diluted share, in 2021. The results include $0.6 million of LIFO pre-tax expense in 2022, compared with $21.9 million of LIFO pre-tax expense in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was $152.0 million, compared with $211.1 million in 2021. Sales for 2022 totaled $2.6 billion compared with $2.3 billion in 2021.

"Olympic Steel delivered another year of extraordinary performance in 2022, capped off by a strong finish in the fourth quarter. Our team weathered ongoing economic pressures and a historic decline in metals pricing to record the second most profitable year in Company history, with our Specialty Metals and Pipe and Tube segments hitting all-time profitability highs," said Richard T. Marabito, Chief Executive Officer. "Our results validate that our strategy to reduce the impact of market cyclicality on our business is working. The deliberate steps we have taken to invest in diversified, higher-return products and services, along with our relentless focus on operational disciplines have improved our bottom line and strengthened our business for the long term."

------

Marabito continued, "Importantly, we have also improved our position to invest in and accelerate growth. In 2022, our record cash flow enabled us to reduce our debt by $162 million, or 49%, providing increased liquidity for higher-return growth opportunities, including our January 2023 purchase of Metal-Fab, Inc., the second-largest acquisition in our history and our sixth acquisition in the last five years. Metal-Fab is a perfect fit for Olympic Steel, adding a consistent, recession-resistant track record of double-digit EBITDA margins and an expanded catalog of products to our growing portfolio of metal-intensive end-use products."

As the Company reported on February 15, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share, which is an increase of $0.035 per share from the Company's last quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2023. The Company has paid a regular quarterly dividend since March 2006.

Marabito concluded, "Olympic Steel is a stronger and more resilient company, and we are off to a fast start in 2023. In January, we increased our asset-based revolver from $475 million to $625 million, providing additional capital to further execute our growth and diversification strategy. We are also pleased to reward shareholders through an increased quarterly dividend."

The table that follows provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to**:** risks of falling metals prices and inventory devaluation; supply disruptions and inflationary pressures, including the availability and rising costs of transportation, energy, logistical services and labor; risks associated with shortages of skilled labor, increased labor costs and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; rising interest rates and their impacts on our variable interest rate debt; risks associated with supply chain disruption resulting from the imbalance of metal supply and end-user demands related to the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, including additional shutdowns in large markets, such as China, and other factors; supplier consolidation or addition of new capacity; risks associated with the invasion of Ukraine, including economic sanctions, or additional war or military conflict, could adversely affect global metals supply and pricing; general and global business, economic, financial and political conditions, including, but not limited to, recessionary conditions and legislation passed under the current administration; risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to customer closures, reduced sales and profit levels, slower payment of accounts receivable and potential increases in uncollectible accounts receivable, falling metals prices that could lead to lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments and the impairment of intangible and long-lived assets, negative impacts on our liquidity position, inability to access our traditional financing sources on the same or reasonably similar terms as were available before the COVID-19 pandemic and increased costs associated with and less ability to access funds under our asset-based credit facility, or ABL Credit Facility, and the capital markets;

the inflation or deflation existing within the metals industry, as well as product mix and inventory levels on hand, which can impact our cost of materials sold as a result of the fluctuations in the last-in, first-out, or LIFO, inventory valuation; increased customer demand without corresponding increase in metal supply could lead to an inability to meet customer demand and result in lower sales and profits; competitive factors such as the availability, and global pricing of metals and production levels, industry shipping and inventory levels and rapid fluctuations in customer demand and metals pricing; customer, supplier and competitor consolidation, bankruptcy or insolvency; the timing and outcomes of inventory lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments and last-in, first-out, or LIFO, income or expense; reduced production schedules, layoffs or work stoppages by our own, our suppliers' or customers' personnel; cyclicality and volatility within the metals industry; reduced availability and productivity of our employees, increased operational risks as a result of remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on internal controls, as well as cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events; fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and the related impact on foreign steel pricing, U.S. exports, and foreign imports to the United States; the successes of our efforts and initiatives to improve working capital turnover and cash flows, and achieve cost savings; our ability to generate free cash flow through operations and repay debt; our ability to successfully integrate recent acquisitions into our business and risks inherent with the acquisitions in the achievement of expected results, including whether the acquisition will be accretive and within the expected timeframe; the adequacy of our existing information technology and business system software, including duplication and security processes; the amounts, successes and our ability to continue our capital investments and strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions and our business information system implementations; events or circumstances that could adversely impact the successful operation of our processing equipment and operations; the impacts of union organizing activities and the success of union contract renewals; changes in laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement could impact our financial performance and restrict our ability to operate our business or execute our strategies; events or circumstances that could impair or adversely impact the carrying value of any of our assets; risks and uncertainties associated with intangible assets, including impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock and the amounts and timing of repurchases, if any; our ability to sell shares of our common stock under the at-the-market equity program; and unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation, arbitration and environmental matters, including any developments that would require any increase in our costs for such contingencies.

------

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, this document also contains adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management's view of the Company's performance includes adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the Company. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance investors' understanding of the continuing operating performance of our business and facilitate the comparison of performance between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided above.
