Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reliance, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories
The majority of our inventory is valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, which is not in excess of market. Under this method, older costs are included in inventory, which may be higher or lower than current costs. We estimate the effect of LIFO on interim periods by allocating the projected year-end LIFO calculation to interim periods on a pro rata basis.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies related to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses—In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance requiring disaggregated quantitative disclosure of prescribed expense categories included within relevant income statement expense captions. These changes will be effective beginning with our 2027 fiscal year and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. As the guidance only requires additional disclosure, there will be no impact to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The weighted average effective interest rates on the Company’s outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 4.20% and 4.24%, respectively.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
We have a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”). As of June 30, 2026, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates based on SOFR plus 1.00% or the bank prime rate, and we pay a commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are subject to quarterly adjustment based on our total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility were 4.71% and 5.29% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, no letters of credit were outstanding compared to $0.7 million outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Unsecured Term Loan
As of June 30, 2026, the $400 million outstanding under the Company’s unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) bore interest at SOFR plus 0.75%. Interest rates under the Term Loan are subject to quarterly adjustment based on our total net leverage ratio that is defined similarly as in our Credit Agreement.
The interest rates on the outstanding balance of the term loan were 4.39% and 4.49% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Senior Unsecured Notes
Under the indentures for each series of our senior notes (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. If we experience a change in control accompanied by a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase each series of notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Letters of Credit/Letters of Guarantee Facility
We have a $50.0 million standby letters of credit/letters of guarantee agreement with one of the lenders under our Credit Agreement. We had $31.4 million and $31.7 million outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Covenants
The Credit Agreement, Term Loan and indentures governing our debt securities include customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan include, among other things, a financial maintenance covenant that requires us to comply with a maximum total net leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the financial maintenance covenant under our Credit Agreement and Term Loan as of June 30, 2026.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rates for the second quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 were 24.7% and 24.4%, respectively, compared to 23.0% and 23.3% for the respective 2025 periods. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state income taxes partially offset by the net effects of company-owned life insurance policies.
NOTE 9. EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We grant long-term equity incentive awards annually to officers and key employees in the form of service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). RSUs vest over an approximately three-year period ending December 1 and settle into an equivalent number of shares of our common stock. PSUs vest based on continued service and the achievement of a return on assets metric over a three-year performance period ending December 31 and settle into shares of our common stock on a sliding scale up to a maximum of 200% of the number of PSUs granted.
The following summarizes the activity of our unvested RSUs and PSUs (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

As of June 30, 2026, there was $97.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and PSUs that is expected to be recognized, net of actual forfeitures and cancellations, over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND C****ONTINGENCIES
Environmental Contingencies
We are currently involved with an environmental remediation project related to activities at former manufacturing operations of Earle M. Jorgensen Company (“EMJ”), ourwholly owned subsidiary, that were sold many years prior to our acquisition of EMJ in 2006. Although the potential cleanup costs could be significant, EMJ maintained insurance policies during the time it owned the manufacturing operations that have covered costs incurred to date and are expected to continue to cover the majority of the related costs. We do not expect that this obligation will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Legal Matters
From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions. These actions generally arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to the business. We expect that these matters will be resolved without having a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We maintain general liability insurance against risks arising in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Reliance derives revenue primarily in the United States from its metals service center businesses. Following an operational realignment completed during the first quarter of 2026, the Company manages its business through operating segments that have been aggregated into asingle reportable segment—metals service centers—based on similar economic characteristics. The operational realignment did not result in a change to the Company’s reportable segments and, accordingly, previously reported segment information has not been recast.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
The measure of segment profit and loss is net income reported on the accompanying consolidated income statements.
