 A. M. CASTLE & CO. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
Company Achieves Sales Growth During Financial Restructuring Process
OAK BROOK, IL, August 9, 2017 - A. M. Castle & Co. (OTCPink: CASLQ) (the "Company" or "Castle"), a global distributor of specialty metal and supply chain solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Highlights:
Increased second quarter 2017 net sales by 4.4% to $136.5 million compared to second quarter 2016, on the strength of a 10.9% improvement in tons sold per day;
Reduced operating loss for second quarter 2017 to $3.4 million, an improvement of $7.9 million, or 70%, compared to second quarter 2016;
Reported second quarter 2017 loss from continuing operations of $22.5 million, including $11.2 million of financial restructuring and reorganization expenses and $10.1 million of interest expense, compared to a loss of $21.3 million in second quarter 2016, which included $9.6 million of interest expense;
Achieved an improvement of $3.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations when compared to second quarter 2016;
Reduced operating expenses to $37.8 million in second quarter 2017, compared to $44.3 million in second quarter 2016 that included operational restructuring charges of $2.0 million; and
Commenced voluntary prepackaged chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, which are expected to be completed by August 31, 2017.
President and CEO Steve Scheinkman commented, "While navigating the financial restructuring process during the entire quarter, including the filing of the chapter 11 petitions in June, the Company was still able to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations during the second quarter. Even after taking into account the negative effect of the financial restructuring process and currency losses, the Company was able to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million, a $3.5 million improvement compared to the second quarter 2016. I am very proud that our team was able to drive net sales growth, while we simultaneously focused on our financial restructuring plan. This is a very positive signal, not only today, but for when we emerge from this process with an improved balance sheet and have a greater ability to invest in our people, our platform and our growth strategies."
Scheinkman continued, "A. M. Castle’s gross material margin for the quarter was 25.2%, which was consistent with the second quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017. The Company also achieved an increase in tons sold per day of 5.3% when compared to last quarter, surpassing the less than 1% increase reported by MSCI for our industry. While the third quarter is historically one of our slower periods due to normal seasonality in the summer months, we look forward to being able to conduct business with a competitive balance sheet upon the completion of the bankruptcy process, which we expect to occur by the end of August."

Second Quarter 2017 Results
Net sales in the second quarter 2017 were $136.5 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 4.4%, compared to second quarter 2016 net sales of $130.7 million. The Company posted a 10.9% increase in tons sold per day in the second quarter 2017 compared to the second quarter 2016. Offsetting the positive impact of the increase in sales volumes was a 4.5% decrease in average selling prices and an unfavorable change in product mix. Second quarter 2017 net sales were up $0.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to the first quarter 2017, as a result of a 5.3% increase in tons sold per day, partly offset by a 3.0% decrease in average selling prices and an unfavorable change in product mix.
Gross material margin, calculated as net sales less cost of materials (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) divided by net sales, was 25.2% in the second quarter 2017, compared to 25.7% in the first quarter 2017 and 25.3% in the second quarter 2016.
Loss from continuing operations in the second quarter 2017 was $22.5 million, and negative EBITDA from continuing operations for the period was $8.5 million. Both amounts were negatively impacted by $11.2 million of charges related to the Company's financial restructuring. Loss from continuing operations was $13.5 million in the first quarter 2017 and $21.3 million in the second quarter 2016, while EBITDA from continuing operations was positive $1.0 million in the first quarter 2017 and negative $6.9 million in the second quarter 2016. Adjusted positive EBITDA from continuing operations was $0.1 million in the second quarter 2017, compared to positive $1.7 million in the first quarter 2017 and negative $3.4 million in the second quarter 2016.
Executive Vice President and CFO, Pat Anderson, commented, "This quarter’s operating performance, combined with the steps taken in the financial restructuring, including closing a debtor-in-possession financing agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, which is expected to be replaced by a $125 million exit facility, should provide a solid foundation as we exit the bankruptcy at the end of August."
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $33.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $19.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million, while net cash provided by financing activities was $10.5 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net cash from investing activities of $54.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was mostly attributable to cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the Company's Total Plastics, Inc. ("TPI") subsidiary. Proceeds from the sale of the TPI assets were used to pay down debt, which along with the $8.7 million payment of debt restructuring costs, resulted in net cash used in financing activities of $29.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The exclusion of the charges indicated herein from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by the Company that similar charges will not be incurred in subsequent periods.
In addition, the Company believes that the use and presentation of EBITDA, which is defined by the Company as income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, less interest income, is widely used by the investment community for evaluation purposes and provides investors, analysts and other interested parties with additional information in analyzing the Company’s operating results. Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss), adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross material margin which are defined as reported net income (loss), reported income (loss) from continuing operations, EBITDA and gross margin adjusted for non-cash items and items which are not considered by management to be indicative of the underlying results, are presented as the Company believes the information is important to provide investors, analysts and other interested parties additional information about the Company’s financial performance. Operating expenses, excluding restructuring expense (income), is presented as management believes it provides useful information to investors, analysts and other interested parties regarding the ongoing expenses of the Company.

Cautionary Statement on Risks Associated with Forward Looking Statements
Information provided and statements contained in this release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this release and the Company assumes no obligation to update the information included in this release. Such forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy, and the cost savings and other benefits that we expect to achieve from our restructuring. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “predict,” “plan,” “should,” or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and they involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are many factors that could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include or relate to: other competing uses for funds, including the payment of the administrative expenses of our chapter 11 cases; our ability to timely conclude definitive documentation for, and to satisfy all conditions to the consummation of, any required exit financing, new notes indenture or other agreement required by our chapter 11 plan of reorganization; the effects of the filing of our chapter 11 cases on our business and the interests of various constituents; the bankruptcy court’s rulings in our chapter 11 cases, as well the outcome of any such case in general; the length of time that we will operate under chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of our chapter 11 cases; risks associated with third party motions or objections in our chapter 11 cases, which may interfere with our ability to confirm and consummate a chapter 11 plan of reorganization; the potential adverse effects of our chapter 11 cases on our liquidity or results of operations; our ability to execute the Company’s business and financial reorganization plan; and increased advisory costs to execute our reorganization. Other factors include our ability to effectively manage our operational initiatives and restructuring activities, the impact of volatility of metals prices, the cyclical and seasonal aspects of our business, our ability to effectively manage inventory levels, our ability to successfully complete the remaining steps in our strategic refinancing process, and the impact of our substantial level of indebtedness, as well as including those risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, which we will file shortly.
