Management Commentary
“Our second quarter results reflect continued progress on our initiatives to improve operations across the business while establishing a permanent foundation to drive profitable growth,” said Chris Hutter, interim president and CEO of Synalloy. “We achieved net sales growth across both of our segments and continue to see improvements in customer demand for our products.
“The strength experienced in the second quarter is largely attributable to our metals segment, which generated year-over-year and sequential gains across all key financial metrics. This quarter, the segment benefited from favorable trends in commodities pricing, mill throughput and rebounding customer demand. The improvement is also directly attributable to the efforts of our metals segment team members as they work tirelessly to deliver results to our stakeholders. Profitability at our chemicals segment proved to be a challenge during the quarter, as we faced operational hurdles due to labor constraints and product shipment delays related to trucking shortages. Despite these challenges, we are encouraged by the demand from our customers going into the back half of the year and we are continuing to invest in our new leadership team as we take measures to better realize the embedded value in the segment going forward.
“Overall, I am proud of the work our team has put in during the first half of the year and I am grateful for all that we have accomplished together since I joined as interim CEO over nine months ago. Most importantly, we’ve continued to build out our leadership team with proven industry executives and are beginning to benefit from streamlined processes while deepening our customer relationships by delivering best-in-class products, services and solutions. I am confident that we are laying the foundation for sustained shareholder value creation.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales increased 26% to $83.1 million compared to $66.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. This increase was attributable to strong volumes and positive trends in commodity prices in the metals segment, as a result of re-opening-driven demand increases and a rising surcharge market.
Gross profit increased significantly to $14.1 million, or 17.0% of net sales, compared to $4.4 million, or 6.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in both gross profit and gross margin was driven by the increased pricing that benefited net sales during the quarter, along with better operational efficiencies that came with higher volumes.
Net income increased to $2.9 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $(7.0) million, or $(0.77) diluted loss per share, in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding impacts from 2020 activities associated with exiting the Palmer business, net income in the second quarter of 2021 increased $1.9 million over the prior year period.

(1) The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors in evaluating its results to determine the value of a company. An item is included in the measure if its periodic value is inconsistent and sufficiently material that not identifying the item would render period comparability less meaningful to the reader or if including the item provides a clearer representation of normalized periodic earnings. The Company includes in Adjusted EBITDA two categories of items: 1) Base EBITDA components, including: interest expense (including change in fair value of interest rate swap), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and 2) Material transaction costs including: asset impairment, acquisition costs and other fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, proxy contest costs and recoveries, earn-out adjustments, realized and unrealized (gains) and losses on investments in equity securities and other investments, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease expense, retention costs and restructuring & severance costs from net income. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent, refer to the Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
