Schnitzer Steel Second Quarter Segment Details
02 April 2004 - Metals Recycling Business—Schnitzer Steel’s wholly owned Metals Recycling Business reported operating income of $13.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, an improvement of $4.7 million (55%) over the same quarter last year. Operating income divided by ferrous tons sold averaged $26 per ton in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, which compares to $15 per ton and $24 per ton in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of fiscal 2004, respectively. The improved operating margins were primarily driven by higher average selling prices, which rose by 42% and 13%, over the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, respectively. Overall, market selling prices rose rapidly in the second fiscal quarter due primarily to the strength in demand from domestic steel manufacturers who saw their finished product order backlog and prices grow. Fiscal 2004 second quarter average domestic selling prices actually increased at a greater rate than our average export selling prices, which was primarily caused by the timing of when orders are received and shipped. Export orders are typically received 60-90 days ahead of shipment, whereas domestic sales are typically shipped within 30 days of order.
