Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

NOTE 6: ACQUISITIONS On February 13, 2026 (the Closing Date), the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the Merger Agreement), dated as of October 28, 2025 , by and among Ryerson Holding, Crimson MS Corp., an Ohio corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Ryerson Holding (Merger Sub), and Olympic Steel, an Ohio corporation. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Olympic Steel in accordance with Ohio law (the Olympic Steel Merger). At the effective time of the Olympic Steel Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Olympic Steel, without par per share (the Olympic Common Stock) (other than certain excluded shares), was converted into the right to receive 1.7105 shares of Ryerson Holdings common stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon the completion of the Olympic Steel Merger, Olympic Steel, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryerson Holding. The Olympic Steel Merger is expected to enhance the combined company's presence as one of the largest North American metals service centers and represents a highly compatible strategic match as it will bring Olympic Steel's complementary footprint, capabilities, and product offerings into Ryerson's intelligently interconnected network of value-added service centers. The fair value of purchase consideration amounted to $ 837.3 million. …

NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In October 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA) named JT Ryerson as one of more than 100 businesses that may be a potentially responsible party (PRP) for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (the PHS Site). In 2017, the EPA issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for the site, which provides for a combination of dredging, capping, and enhanced natural recovery that would take approximately thirteen years to construct plus additional time for monitored natural recovery , at a then- estimated present value cost of $ 1.05 billion; however, the remedial designs and cost projections issued after the ROD indicate that the final costs for the entire site will be higher. A final allocation of costs of remediation among the various PRPs is not anticipated until 2027. All dates included herein are subject to change. There are sixteen project areas identified within the PHS Site; JT Ryersons identification as a PRP relates to its past operations within two of those project areas: (1) the Burgard Way site, which is a subset of the River Mile 3.5 East Project Area and (2) the Basin Avenue site, which is a subset of the Swan Island Basin Project Area. The EPA has set forth its desire for a single overarching consent decree to be negotiated and signed by all settling parties by March of 2027 at the latest. This decree would include implementation of the various proposed remedial design plans, sequencing, and payment of costs for a …

"NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 6.0 million compared to an income tax benefit of $ 8.4 million in the prior year. The income tax provision or benefit for each period primarily reflects taxes at the federal, state and foreign statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the Company operates, adjusted for certain one-time items. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 14.2 million compared to an income tax benefit of $ 10.0 million in the prior year. The increase in tax expense for the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 primarily reflects higher actual and forecasted pre-tax earnings, as well as the impact of certain one-time, non-deductible costs related to the Olympic Steel Merger. As required by FASB ASC 740, "" Income Taxes "" (""ASC 740"") the Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance when, based upon the evaluation of all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, we analyze, among other things, our recent history of earnings, the nature and timing of reversing book-tax temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and future income. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on certain foreign and U.S. federal deferred tax assets until such time as in managem …
