Forward guidance

The company expects second-quarter of 2024 adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the first quarter of 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Second-quarter shipments are expected to be similar to the first quarter.
  • Lead times for bar products currently extend to June and tube product lead times extend to July.
  • Base price per ton is anticipated to remain solid in the second quarter.

Headwinds

  • Surcharge revenue per ton is expected to decline in the second quarter given a lower average No. 1 busheling scrap index in the second quarter compared with the first quarter.
  • The company expects the average melt utilization rate to be less than the first quarter, as the company continues to balance production with demand.
