Ryerson strongly urges you to review its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found at https://ir.ryerson.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. This site also provides additional information about Ryerson. Safe Harbor Provision Certain statements made in this presentation and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, objectives, or projections relating to the future. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “objectives,” “goals,” “preliminary,” “range,” "believes," "expects," "may," "estimates," "will," "should," "plans," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the factors that significantly impact the metals distribution industry and our business are: the cyclicality of our business; the highly competitive, volatile, and fragmented market in which we operate; fluctuating metal prices; our substantial indebtedness and the covenants in instruments governing such indebtedness; the integration of acquired operations; regulatory and other operational risks associated with our operations located inside and outside of the United States; work stoppages; obligations under certain employee retirement benefit plans; the ownership of a majority of our equity securities by a single investor group; currency fluctuations; and consolidation in the metals producer industry. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth above and those set forth under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we caution against placing undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances, new information or otherwise.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO to the comparable GAAP measure is included in the Appendix. $47M in Adj. EBITDA, excl. LIFO is a decrease year-over-year of $4M due to recessed volume and declining average selling prices driven by falling, commodity prices and stressed industrial conditions. These headwinds were mitigated by expanded margins and expense reductions. Adj. EBITDA, excl. LIFO 80 bps expansion

2019 vs. 2018 Financial Performance 2% decrease 2% decrease 250 bps contraction Expenses decreased by 6%, driven by an $11M vacation accrual reduction and reduced variable compensation and staffing Expenses exclude depreciation and one-time items. Volume, pricing, margins and expense above are representative of same-store performance only and do not include CS&W results as those are reflected separately above. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO to the comparable GAAP measure is included in the Appendix. $190M of Adj. EBITDA, excl. LIFO generated in 2019 was lower year over year by $118M compared to 2018 on acute margin compression amidst early stage turnaround efforts at CS&W. Same-store expense reductions more than offset macro driven declines in volume and pricing. Adj. EBITDA, excl. LIFO CRU hot-rolled price deflation during 2019 resulted in inventory holding losses at CS&W, as the company has 85% carbon steel inventory mix exposure relative to its total inventory.

In the first quarter of 2020, Ryerson anticipates volume growth driven by normal seasonality patterns, but mildly tempered by the subdued demand that has carried over from 2019 in addition to the temporary operational interruptions within our China service centers caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. 2019 Sales Mix Commentary & Q1 2020 Outlook 2019 vs. 2018 Volume Growth

31 EBITDA represents net income before interest and other expense on debt, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, gain on the sale of assets, impairment charges on assets, reorganization expenses, gain on bargain purchase, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), provides useful information to investors regarding our operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our core financial performance and provide a basis of comparison of results between current, past, and future periods. We also disclose the metric Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), to provide a means of comparison amongst our competitors who may not use the same basis of accounting for inventories. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), are three of the primary metrics management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of our business without the effect of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, expenses, revenues, and gains (losses) that are unrelated to the day to day performance of our business. We also establish compensation programs for our executive management and regional employees that are based upon the achievement of pre-established EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), targets. We also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), to benchmark our operating performance to that of our competitors. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), is necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. This release also presents gross margin, excluding LIFO expense (income), which is calculated as gross profit plus LIFO expense (or minus LIFO income), divided by net sales, and gross margin, excluding LIFO expense (income), which is calculated as gross profit plus LIFO expense (or minus LIFO income) divided by net sales. We have excluded LIFO expense (income) from gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales metrics in order to provide a means of comparison amongst our competitors who may not use the same basis of accounting for inventories as we do. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), as a percentage of sales, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income), as a percentage of sales may differ from that of other companies.
