NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
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, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.s (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 the Companys consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts in the statements of income have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The Companys 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. The Companys 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 Principles
Accounting Principles Already Adopted
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
. This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the year beginning January 1, 2008 for the Company. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157
(FSP FAS 157-2), which permits a one-year deferral of the application of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 effective January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 157 were not applied to goodwill and other intangible assets held by the Company and measured annually for impairment testing purposes only. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 for all other assets and liabilities held by the Company did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements or notes thereto. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009 which also did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the year beginning January 1, 2008 for the Company. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007),
Business Combinations
, which is a revision of SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations
. In accordance with the new standard, upon initially obtaining control, the acquiring entity in a business combination must recognize 100% of the fair values of the acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities, with only limited exceptions even if the acquirer has not acquired 100% of its target. As a consequence, the current step acquisition model will be eliminated. Also, contingent consideration arrangements will be fair valued at the acquisition date and included on that basis in the purchase price consideration. In addition, all transaction costs will be expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, or January 1, 2009 for the Company, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions of FAS 141(R). All other provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) will only impact the Company if it is a party to a business combination after the pronouncement has been adopted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51
. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 or January 1, 2009 for the Company. In accordance with SFAS No. 160, the Company classified noncontrolling interests as equity on its consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and presented net income attributable to noncontrolling interests separately on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1,
Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets
, which requires enhanced disclosures about plan assets in an employers defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. These disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with a greater understanding of how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. FSP No. 132(R)-1 will apply to the Companys plan asset disclosures for fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

Acquisition of PNA Group Holding Corporation
On August 1, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of PNA Group Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (PNA), in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 16, 2008.

The Company funded the acquisition with proceeds from its new $500,000 senior unsecured term loan and borrowings under its existing $1,100,000 syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility.
PNAs subsidiaries include the operating entities Delta Steel, Inc., Feralloy Corporation, Infra-Metals Co., Metals Supply Company, Ltd., Precision Flamecutting and Steel, Inc. and Sugar Steel Corporation.

Acquisition of Dynamic Metals International LLC
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company, through its subsidiary Service Steel Aerospace Corp., acquired the business of Dynamic Metals International LLC (Dynamic) based in Bristol, Connecticut. Dynamic was founded in 1999 and is a specialty metal distributor.

The all cash purchase price was funded with borrowings on the Companys revolving credit facility. Dynamics net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $3,064.
Purchase price allocations
The acquisitions of all the companies have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the 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 PNA purchase price allocation is preliminary at March 31, 2009 pending finalization of pre-acquisition period federal and state tax returns.
Pro forma financial information
The following unaudited pro forma summary financial results present the consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of PNA had occurred at the beginning of the reporting period being presented, after the effect of certain adjustments, including increased depreciation expense resulting from recording fixed assets at fair value, interest expense on the acquisition debt, and amortization of certain identifiable intangible assets. The pro forma summary financial results reflect the acquired companies historical method for inventory valuation which was the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method through the acquisition date. All domestic acquisitions adopted the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation upon acquisition.
The pro forma results have been presented for comparative purposes only and are not indicative of what would have occurred had the PNA acquisition been made as of January 1, 2008, or of any potential results which may occur in the future.

Permanent items that impacted the Companys effective tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% were not materially different during both periods. However, the same type of permanent items have a much larger favorable impact on the 2009 effective tax rate due to the Companys lower income levels in 2009 compared to 2008.

nsecured Revolving Credit Facility
The Companys $1,100,000 unsecured revolving credit facility has fifteen banks as lenders and can be increased to $1,600,000 with their approval. Interest is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 0.55% or the bank prime rate for the period ended March 31, 2009. This margin on LIBOR based borrowings is subject to an adjustment every quarter prospectively based on the Companys leverage ratio. The applicable margin can be a maximum of 1.00% over the LIBOR rate if the Companys leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 55%. The minimum applicable margin is 0.375% if the leverage ratio is less than 25%. Base rate borrowings are not subject to adjustments and are based on the banks prime rate. Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 3.25% and 2.67% at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Average interest rates on the revolving credit facility were 1.69% and 4.31% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had $49,518 of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $75,482 of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion, at an annual rate of 0.125% at March 31, 2009.
Revolving Credit Facilities Foreign Operations
The Company also has two separate revolving credit facilities for operations in Canada with a combined credit limit of CAD$35,000. There were no borrowings outstanding on these revolving credit facilities at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Various other separate revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $17,000 are in place for operations in: a) Asia with outstanding balances of $1,387 and $1,643 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and b) the United Kingdom with outstanding balances of $4,692 and $5,809 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Senior Unsecured Term Loan
In connection with the PNA acquisition, the Company entered into a $500,000 senior unsecured term loan on July 31, 2008. The loan carries interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 2.0% as of March 31, 2009 and requires quarterly installment payments of principal in the amount of $18,750 beginning December 31, 2008, with

(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
the remaining balance due on November 9, 2011. The LIBOR margins are also subject to quarterly adjustments under this unsecured term loan agreement based on the Companys leverage ratios. The applicable margin can be a maximum of 2.50% over the LIBOR rate if the Companys leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 55%. The minimum applicable margin is 1.50% over the LIBOR rate if the leverage ratio is less than 25%. Base rate borrowings are also subject to quarterly adjustments based on the Companys leverage ratios and can be as high as 1.25% or as low as 0.25% over the banks prime rate.
Senior Unsecured Notes Private Placements
The Company also has $213,000 of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt. The outstanding senior notes bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 5.71% and have a weighted average remaining life of 2.7 years, maturing from 2010 to 2013.
Senior Unsecured Notes Publicly Traded
On November 20, 2006, the Company entered into an Indenture (the Indenture), for the issuance of $600,000 of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250,000 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 which, in the event of a change in control, require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest.
Covenants
The $1,100,000 revolving credit facility, the $500,000 senior unsecured term loan, and the privately placed senior unsecured note agreements collectively require the Company 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. The Companys interest coverage ratio for the last twelve-month period ended March 31, 2009 was approximately 8.3 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, less equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, divided by interest expense). The Companys leverage ratio at March 31, 2009 calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement was 38.2% 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, 2009 was $913,600 compared to Reliance shareholders equity balance of $2,442,998 at March 31, 2009.
All of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the term loan and the private placement notes. The requirement with respect to the subsidiary guarantors is that they collectively account for at least 80% of consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 97% of our total consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 95% of total consolidated tangible assets as of March 31, 2009. The Company was in compliance with all additional debt covenants at March 31, 2009.

9. Employee Benefits
Defined Benefit and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans
The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), which is a nonqualified pension plan that provides post-retirement and certain pre-retirement pension benefits to key officers of the Company. Effective January 1, 2009 the SERP plan for certain key officers of the Company was amended to freeze the plan to new participants as well as change the benefit formula. The amendment did not have a material impact on the expense or the benefit obligation under this plan. Separate SERPs exist for certain of the Companys subsidiaries, each of which provides post-retirement benefits to certain current and former key employees of that subsidiary. All of the subsidiary plans have been frozen to include only existing participants.
In December 2008, a new deferred compensation plan was put in place for certain officers and key employees of the Company. No participants of the SERP are participants of this deferred compensation plan. Account balances from various deferred compensation plans of subsidiaries were transferred and consolidated into this new deferred compensation plan. The balance in the Reliance deferred compensation plan at December 31, 2008 was approximately $6,000. There was no material activity in this plan during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
The Company, through certain of its subsidiaries maintains qualified defined benefit pension plans for certain of its employees, typically employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service or provide benefits based on the participants hourly wage rate and years of service. The plans permit the sponsor, at any time, to amend or terminate the plans subject to union approval, if applicable.
The net periodic pension costs for the SERP and defined benefit plans were as follows:

Contributions
The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it expected to contribute $3,519 to its defined benefit plans in 2009. As of March 31, 2009, contributions of approximately $1,326 had been made.
Supplemental Bonus Plan
In 2005, EMJ reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor regarding a change in its methodology for annual valuations of its stock while it was a private company, for the purpose of making contributions in stock to its retirement plan. This resulted in a special additional contribution to the plan in shares of EMJ common stock to be made over a two-year period. In connection with the acquisition of EMJ in April 2006, Reliance assumed the obligation resulting from EMJs settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor to contribute 258,006 shares of Reliance common stock to EMJs Supplemental Bonus Plan, a phantom stock bonus plan supplementing the EMJ Retirement Savings Plan. At March 31, 2009, the remaining obligation to the EMJ Supplemental Bonus Plan consisted of the cash equivalent of 148,715 shares of Reliance common stock totaling approximately $4,100. The adjustments to reflect this obligation at fair value based on the closing price of the Companys common stock at the end of each reporting period are included in Warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses. The expense from mark to market adjustments to this obligation amounted to approximately $965 and $901 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This obligation will be satisfied by future cash payments to participants upon their termination of employment.

11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
In November 2006, the Company issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 at fixed interest rates that are guaranteed by its 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 the ability of the Company 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.
Effective January 1, 2009, RSAC Management Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance, was merged with and into Reliance. The results of RSAC Management Corp. are now reflected as part of the Parent in these condensed consolidating financial statements. In accordance with SEC rules, prior period amounts were retroactively restated for this change in the guarantors.

2008 Acquisitions
Acquisition of HLN Metal Centre Pte. Ltd.
On September 17, 2008, through our newly-formed Singapore company Reliance Metalcenter Asia Pacific, Pte, Ltd. (RMAP), we acquired the assets, including the inventory, machinery, and equipment, of the Singapore operation of HLN Metal Centre Pte. Ltd. RMAP focuses primarily on supplying metal to the electronics, semiconductor, and solar energy markets. We entered this market primarily to support existing customers that moved to or expanded their operations in Asia. Net sales of RMAP during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $0.5 million.
Acquisition of PNA Group Holding Corporation
On August 1, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of PNA Group Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (PNA), in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 16, 2008. We paid cash consideration of approximately $321 million, net of purchase price adjustments, repaid or refinanced debt of PNA or its subsidiaries in the amount of approximately $725 million, paid related tender offer and consent solicitation premium payments of approximately $55 million and incurred direct acquisition costs of approximately $3 million for a total transaction value of approximately $1.1 billion. We funded the acquisition with proceeds from our new $500 million senior unsecured term loan and borrowings under our existing $1.1 billion syndicated revolving credit facility.
PNAs subsidiaries include the operating entities Delta Steel, Inc., Feralloy Corporation, Infra-Metals Co., Metals Supply Company, Ltd., Precision Flamecutting and Steel, Inc. and Sugar Steel Corporation. Through its subsidiaries, PNA processes and distributes primarily carbon steel plate, bar, structural and flat-rolled products. PNA operates 21 steel service centers throughout the United States, as well as four joint ventures with six additional service centers in the United States and Mexico. PNAs net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $317.3 million.
Acquisition of Dynamic Metals International LLC
Effective April 1, 2008, through our subsidiary Service Steel Aerospace Corp., we acquired the business of Dynamic Metals International, LLC (Dynamic) based in Bristol, Connecticut. Dynamic was founded in 1999 and is a specialty metal distributor. Dynamic has been merged into and currently operates as a division of Service Steel
20
Table of Contents
Aerospace Corp. headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. This strategic acquisition expands Reliances existing Service Steel Aerospace specialty product offerings in the Northeastern area of the U.S. The all cash purchase price was funded with borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Dynamics net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $3.1 million.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Net Sales
. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, our consolidated net sales decreased 18.3% to $1.56 billion compared to $1.91 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This includes a 1.2% decrease in tons sold and a 15.7% decrease in our average selling price per ton sold. (Tons sold and average selling price per ton sold amounts exclude the toll processing sales of Precision Strip and Feralloy Corporation.) Our 2009 first quarter sales included $317.3 million from PNA Group that we acquired on August 1, 2008. The decrease in our average selling price in the 2009 first quarter is due to prices for carbon steel products falling dramatically beginning in the 2008 fourth quarter and continuing to decline through the 2009 first quarter. Prices for aluminum and stainless steel products also fell from already low levels during the second half of 2008. Due to the acquisition of PNA, our average selling price was also impacted by a change in our product mix. Carbon steel products represented 58% of our 2009 first quarter sales, compared to 47% of our 2008 first quarter sales and carbon steel products typically have lower selling prices than the other products that we sell.
Same-store sales, which exclude the sales of our 2008 acquisitions, were $1.24 billion in the 2009 first quarter, down 35.1% from the 2008 first quarter, with a 33.7% decrease in our tons sold and a 0.1% decrease in our average selling price per ton sold. The decline in our same-store tons sold in the 2009 first quarter compared to the 2008 first quarter was due to lower demand in all markets that we sell to mainly because of the global recession that significantly impacted our business activity beginning in November 2008. Comparing our 2009 first quarter to the 2008 fourth quarter, our tons sold decreased 13.9% and our average selling price was down 14.7%. Our 2008 fourth quarter volumes were favorably impacted by strong October 2008 shipment levels; otherwise, demand has remained relatively consistent with November 2008 levels through the 2009 first quarter. The decrease in average selling prices from the fourth quarter of 14.7% is primarily due to the continued price declines for carbon steel products throughout the 2009 first quarter.
Gross Profit.
Total gross profit decreased 28.0% to $354.4 million for the 2009 first quarter compared to $492.3 million in the 2008 first quarter. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales in the 2009 first quarter was 22.7% compared to 25.8%, in the 2008 first quarter. Gross profit margins have been negatively impacted by mill pricing volatility experienced in 2008 which has continued through the 2009 first quarter. The rapid reduction in prices during the 2008 fourth quarter required the reduction of our selling prices to remain competitive. As a consequence of the dramatic decrease in mill prices, we, along with our competitors, went into an inventory destocking mode. The inventory destocking by the industry during a period of deteriorating customer demand resulted in significant competitive pressure in the industry, negatively impacting our gross profit margin through the 2009 first quarter.
Our 2009 first quarter gross profit margin was also impacted by our acquisition of PNA on August 1, 2008. The PNA companies have operated at lower gross profit levels historically than the Reliance companies. The net impact to our gross profit margins from PNA has been a decrease of approximately three percentage points in the 2009 first quarter. We expect to improve the margins of the PNA companies to levels more consistent with Reliances historical levels once demand and pricing stabilize and begin to improve.
Our LIFO reserve adjustment, which is included in our cost of sales and therefore impacts gross profit in the 2009 first quarter resulted in income of $75.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to expense of $17.5 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the 2008 first quarter. We currently estimate our full year 2009 LIFO adjustment to be a credit, or income, of $300.0 million mainly due to the significant reductions in carbon steel mill prices in the 2008 fourth quarter and through April of 2009 that will be reflected in our 2009 average inventory cost. Our LIFO reserve at December 31, 2008 was $387.8 million.
Expenses.
Our 2009 first quarter warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 1.8%, from the 2008 first quarter and were 17.7% as a percentage of sales, up from 14.8% in the 2008 first quarter. On a same-store basis, our S,G&A expenses decreased $47.8 million, or 17.0% compared to the 2008 first quarter. Our cost structure is highly variable, with approximately 60% of our expenses being personnel-related. In 2009, we reduced headcount by 937, or 8.9% from December 31, 2008 levels. Since September
21
Table of Contents
30, 2008, we have reduced headcount by 1,786 employees, or 15.7%. In addition to headcount reductions, several of our locations have employees working reduced hours resulting in additional cost savings. Throughout Reliances workforce, employees have a significant portion of compensation tied to profitability. As such, the lower profitability levels in 2009 compared to 2008 have resulted in compensation cost reductions. Furthermore, in the 2009 first quarter, our SG&A expenses included $9.6 million related to potentially uncollectible customer accounts, compared to $3.3 million in the 2008 first quarter. Please see Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion with respect to our credit exposure on trade accounts receivables.
Depreciation expense for the 2009 first quarter was $22.8 million compared to $18.2 million in the 2008 first quarter. The increase was mostly due to the additional depreciation expense from our 2008 acquisitions along with depreciation on new assets placed in service throughout 2008 and so far in 2009. Amortization expense increased $3.8 million in the 2009 first quarter primarily due to additional amortization expense from the PNA acquisition.
Operating Income.
Our 2009 first quarter operating income was $48.0 million, resulting in an operating income margin of 3.1%, compared to $189.3 million, or a 9.9% operating income margin in the same period of 2008. The decreased operating income is mainly due to lower gross profit dollars resulting from decreased sales levels and lower gross profit margins.
Other Income and Expense.
Interest expense for the 2009 first quarter increased $2.7 million, or 16.3%, mainly due to the $1.1 billion of borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition of PNA on August 1, 2008.
Income Tax Rate.
Our effective tax rate in the 2009 first quarter of 33.3% was lower than our 2008 first quarter rate of 37.6%. The permanent items impacting our effective tax rate did not change materially in 2009 compared to the 2008 levels. However, the same type of permanent items have a much larger favorable impact on our effective tax rate in 2009 due to our lower income levels in 2009 compared to 2008.
Net Income.
Net income attributable to Reliance for the 2009 first quarter decreased $87.3 million, or 81.3%. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit and operating income dollars generated as a result of the global economic recession.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009, our working capital was $1.39 billion, down from $1.65 billion at December 31, 2008. In the 2009 first quarter, we continued to significantly reduce our working capital and generated $314.5 million of cash flow from operations, compared to $107.2 million in the 2008 first quarter. Our accounts receivable balance decreased $160.0 million and our inventory levels decreased $194.7 million while our accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $90.1 million.
To manage our working capital, we focus on our days sales outstanding to monitor accounts receivable and on our inventory turnover rate to monitor our inventory levels, as receivables and inventory are our two most significant elements of working capital. As of March 31, 2009, our days sales outstanding was approximately 43 days compared to 42 days at December 31, 2008. (We calculate our days sales outstanding as an average of the most recent two-month period.) We are comfortable with our current DSO rate; however, we have noted some increased closures and bankruptcy filings in the customer end markets that we serve, as reflected in the increase in our accounts receivable reserve to $23.4 million. In the 2009 first quarter, we wrote-off $6.4 million of receivables as uncollectible, our highest quarterly amount ever. Although we anticipate further receivable write-offs, we believe that our allowance is adequate to absorb any such losses.
Our inventory turn rate during the 2009 first quarter was about 3.4 times (or 3.5 months on hand), lower than our 2008 rate of 3.9 times (or 3.1 months on hand). Customer demand has fallen off significantly and we have not been able to reduce our inventory balance as quickly as shipments have decreased. As we continue to focus on reducing inventory quantities to better match demand and we replenish our inventory with lower-cost items, our inventory turn rate should improve. Our inventory turn rate was also adversely affected by the PNA acquisition, as they historically turned their inventory at lower rates than Reliance. We expect those inventory turns to improve as we continue to focus on those businesses, and as general business conditions improve. As demand and pricing for our products increase or decrease, our working capital needs increase or decrease, respectively. Because our costs for certain metals are still declining and because we have not yet fully reduced our inventory quantities to match

current customer demand levels, we expect our working capital needs to be less in the near-term. By reducing our working capital levels, mainly inventory and accounts receivable, we should continue to generate cash flow from operations. If commodity prices and demand begin to improve, we expect to finance increases in working capital needs through operating cash flow or with borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
Our primary sources of liquidity are generally our internally generated funds from operations and our revolving credit facility. Cash flow provided by operations was $314.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $107.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our focus on reducing working capital produced our strong cash flow from operations that primarily funded our reductions of outstanding debt of $309.6 million, capital expenditures of approximately $15.2 million and dividends to our shareholders of $7.3 million during the 2009 first quarter.
Our outstanding debt (including capital lease obligations) at March 31, 2009 was $1.46 billion, down from $1.77 billion at December 31, 2008. On August 1, 2008, we increased our borrowings by approximately $1.1 billion to finance the acquisition of PNA and the related repayment or refinancing of PNAs outstanding indebtedness. We funded this with $500 million from a new senior unsecured term loan (bearing interest initially at LIBOR plus 2.25%, with quarterly principal installment payments of $18.75 million and the balance due November 9, 2011) and with borrowings under our existing credit facility (bearing interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% or the bank prime rate, due November 9, 2011). At March 31, 2009, we had $174 million borrowed on our $1.1 billion revolving credit facility.
Our net debt-to-total capital ratio was 36.9% at March 31, 2009; down from our 2008 year-end rate of 41.4% (net debt-to-total capital is calculated as total debt, net of cash, divided by Reliance shareholders equity plus total debt, net of cash). At March 31, 2009, we had availability of $926 million on our $1.1 billion revolving credit facility. We are confident that with this level of liquidity we will be able to fund our working capital needs and service our debt in the near term; however, because of the global credit tightening, we are currently limiting our uses of cash to the most important capital expenditure items and maintaining dividends to our shareholders. Our free cash flow will primarily be used to reduce debt.
On November 20, 2006 we entered into an Indenture (the Indenture), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities which are guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and any entities that become such subsidiaries during the term of the Indenture (collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors). None of our foreign subsidiaries or our non-wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries is a guarantor. 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. In April 2007, these notes were exchanged for publicly traded notes registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At March 31, 2009, we also had $213 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes issued in private placements of debt. The outstanding senior notes bear interest at an average fixed rate of 5.7% and have an average remaining life of 2.7 years, maturing from 2010 to 2013. In early January 2009, $10 million of these notes matured and were paid off.
We also have two separate revolving credit facilities for operations in Canada with a combined credit limit of CAD$35 million. There were no borrowings outstanding on these credit facilities at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Two other separate revolving facilities are in place for operations in China and another one for operations in the United Kingdom with total combined outstanding balances of $6.1 million and $7.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Our $1.1 billion syndicated credit facility, $500 million senior unsecured term loan 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 last twelve-month period ended March 31, 2009 was approximately 8.3 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, less equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, divided by interest expense). The leverage ratio at March 31, 2009 calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement was 38.2% 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, 2009 was $913.6 million compared to the Reliance shareholders equity balance of $2.44 billion at March 31, 2009.
All of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under our $1.1 billion revolving credit facility, the term loan and our private placement notes. The requirement with respect to the subsidiary guarantors is that they collectively account for at least 80% of consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets. Reliance and the subsidiary guarantors accounted for approximately 97% of our consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months and approximately 95% of total consolidated tangible assets. The Company was in compliance with all additional debt covenants at March 31, 2009.
Capital expenditures were $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $36.0 million during the same prior year period. We had no material changes in commitments for capital expenditures, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations as of March 31, 2009, 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, 2008.
On February 19, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.10 per share of common stock. On April 21, 2009 our Board of Directors declared the 2009 second quarter cash dividend of $.10 per share. We have paid regular quarterly dividend payments to our shareholders for 49 consecutive years.
In May 2005, our Board of Directors amended and restated our stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional 12.0 million shares of our common stock, of which, 7.9 million shares remain available for repurchase as of March 31, 2009. Repurchased shares are treated as authorized but unissued shares. We repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of our common stock during the 2008 first quarter, at an average cost of $46.97 per share. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the 2009 first quarter. Since initiating our Stock Repurchase Plan in 1994, we have repurchased approximately 15.2 million shares at an average cost of $18.41 per share. We believe such purchases, given appropriate circumstances, enhance shareholder value and reflect our confidence in the long-term growth potential of our Company.
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 may be in seasonal businesses, especially customers in the construction industry. As a result of our geographic, product and customer diversity, our operations have not shown any material seasonal trends except that 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. The results of any one or more quarters are therefore not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $1.07 billion at March 31, 2009, or approximately 22.2% of total assets, or 43.7% of Reliance shareholders equity. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, 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. Most recently completed annual impairment tests of goodwill were performed as of November 1, 2008 and it was determined that the recorded amounts for goodwill are recoverable and that no impairment existed. Our 2009 annual impairment tests of goodwill will be performed as of November 1, 2009 or more frequently, as appropriate. 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, continuous 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, 2009, 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. 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 December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not believe that any of the new accounting standards implemented during 2009 changed our critical accounting policies.
