The company's revenue was $ 609 million for the first quarter of 2021, 5% more than the fourth quarter of 2020 and 23% less than the first quarter of 2020. In sequential order, all sectors except gas utilities saw revenue increase. This was lower due to an unusually above-average fourth quarter. Compared to Q1 2020, gas supply sector revenue was higher due to market share gains and all other sectors and segments declined as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced customer spending.

The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2021 was ($ 9) Million or ($ 0.11) Net income per diluted share compared to Q1 2020 of $ 3 million or $ 00.04 per diluted share.

Rob SaltielThe President and Chief Executive Officer of MRC Global stated, "I am pleased with the solid performance of our team in the first quarter. Despite a slow start to the quarter due to customer budget reset and extreme weather conditions, we achieved 5% sequential revenue growth, a stronger bottom line and continuous cash flow generation due to an improved business environment.

"In my first few weeks at MRC Global, I was very impressed by the caliber of our people and the longstanding relationships we have with our customers and suppliers. These strengths, together with our commitment to operational excellence and first-class customer service, have enabled our company to to become the leading PVF distributor and will support our growth ambitions in the years to come, "added Saltiel.

MRC Global's gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $ 103 million, or 16.9% of sales, compared to gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 of $ 148 million, or 18.6% of sales. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 includes cost of sales of $ 4 million related to the application of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting compared to Q1 2020, which includes revenue of $ 3 million . USD in connection with LIFO inventory cost accounting. Adjusted gross income excluding the impact of LIFO was $ 118 million, or 19.4% of sales, for the first quarter of 2021.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $ 100 million, or 16.4% of sales, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $ 126 million, or 15.9% of sales, for the same period in 2020. Adjusted SG&A costs of $ 98 million For the first quarter of 2021, does not include employee separation costs of $ 2 million.

Income tax expense was $ 0 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $ 5 million for the first quarter of 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, the effective tax rate of 0% results from the tax expense on foreign income, which offsets the tax benefits of U.S. pre-tax losses. The company's tax rates generally differ from the US federal tax rate of 21% due to state income taxes and differences in foreign income tax rates.

In this press release, we refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures (adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted EBITDA) to GAAP measures (gross profit, SG&A expenses, net profit).

Sales by geographic segment

Revenue in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation measures that had a negative impact on demand.

Sales in the United States were $ 484 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 154 million, or 24%, from the year-ago quarter. All sectors declined due to the decreased level of activity related to the pandemic and related restrictions, with the exception of gas utilities. Gas utility sector revenue increased $ 10 million, or 5%, primarily due to market share gains and increased customer activity in preparation for the construction season. Upstream manufacturing revenue decreased $ 71 million, or 51%, primarily due to lower customer spending and a 47% reduction in well completions. Downstream and industrial sales declined $ 52 million, or 27%, due to delayed or reduced maintenance expenses due to lower demand related to the pandemic. Revenue in the midstream pipeline sector declined $ 41 million, or 37%, due to lower production volumes and associated lower demand for infrastructure and timing of project activities. The Midstream Pipeline, Downstream, and Industrial and Upstream Manufacturing sectors rose in turn as market conditions improved.

Sales in Canada were $ 32 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 18 million, or 36%, from the year-ago quarter. This was mainly due to the upstream manufacturing sector that was impacted by the pandemic. The strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar had a positive impact on sales by $ 2 million, or 4%. Sales in Canada improved sequentially mainly due to the upstream manufacturing sector as investments increased due to higher raw material prices.

International sales were $ 93 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 13 million, or 12%, over the same period in 2020. This was mainly due to lower spending due to less activity related to reduced customer budgets. Stronger foreign currencies against the US dollar had a positive impact on sales by USD 8 million, or 8%.

Sales by end market sectors

The gas utility sector's revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $ 210 million, or 34% of total revenue. This is an increase of $ 8 million, or 4%, over Q1 2020 due to the US segment.

Downstream and industrial sales were $ 194 million, or 32% of total sales, for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 57 million, or 23%, from the first quarter of 2020. All segments are led by the US segment. Downstream and industrial sales increased 11% sequentially as customers completed repair, maintenance and remodeling that was originally postponed in 2020, as well as bad weather recovery work in February.

Upstream manufacturing revenue was $ 127 million, or 21% of total revenue, for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 95 million, or 43%, from the first quarter of 2020. The decline in sales in the upstream manufacturing sector was seen in all segments of the US segment. Sales in the upstream production sector increased slightly sequentially, driven by North America as customers increased expenditure on completions and plant construction.

Revenue in the midstream pipeline sector was $ 78 million, or 13% of total revenue, for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $ 41 million, or 34%, from the first quarter of 2020 driven by the U.S. segment . Midstream Pipeline revenue increased 26% sequentially as customers reallocated resources for smaller pipeline projects and some increased valve purchases.

The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales minus cost of sales plus depreciation and amortization plus amortization of intangible assets plus inventory-related costs and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory calculation method. The company reports adjusted gross profit because it believes this is a useful indicator of the company's operating performance, regardless of items such as amortization of intangible assets, which can vary significantly depending on the nature and size of the company-to-company acquisitions may vary were involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory calculation method can cause results to vary significantly from company to company depending on whether they decide to use LIFO and which method they choose. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator for management. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure that is calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted United States accounting standards and that is most directly comparable to adjusted gross profit.

The company defines the adjusted sales, general and administrative costs (VVG costs) as VVG costs minus severance and restructuring costs, costs for the separation of employees, the closure of facilities and the collection of bad debts from suppliers. The company presents adjusted SG&A because it believes this is a useful indicator of the company's operating performance, regardless of elements that can vary significantly from company to company. The company presents Adjusted SG&A because it believes Adjusted SG&A is a useful indicator of the company's operational performance. Adjusted SG&A measures, among other things, the company's operating performance without taking into account certain one-time, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. The company uses Adjusted SG&A as a key performance indicator for management. The Company believes that SG&A is the financial metric that is calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and that most directly compares to adjusted SG&A.

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses (such as share-based compensation, severance payments and restructuring, changes in fair value) of derivative instruments and impairments of Assets, including intangible assets and inventories) and plus or minus the effects of the LIFO inventory calculation method. The company reports Adjusted EBITDA because it believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA measures, among other things, the company's operating performance without taking into account certain one-time, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of GAAP financial performance and should not be viewed as an alternative. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company's operating performance has material limitations. Because of these constraints, the company does not look at Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance metric and also uses other metrics such as net income and revenue to measure operating performance. For more information on the use of Adjusted EBITDA, see the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company defines Adjusted Net Income attributable to ordinary shareholders (a non-GAAP measure) as the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders less goodwill and intangible impairment after taxes, inventory costs, facility closures, severance pay and restructuring, plus or minus the follow-up tax impact of LIFO -Inventory calculation method. The company reports adjusted net income and related amounts per share attributable to common stockholders, in the belief that it provides useful comparisons of the company's operating results with other companies, including the companies we have worked with in the distribution of pipes, Valves and fittings to the USA compete in the energy industry, regardless of the irregular deviations from certain restructuring events that are not indicative of ongoing business. These items include impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, inventory costs, facility closures, severance payments and restructuring, and the LIFO inventory calculation method. The impact of the LIFO inventory calculation method can cause results to vary significantly from company to company depending on whether or not they decide to use LIFO and which method they choose. The Company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders is the financial ratio calculated and presented using generally accepted accounting principles that most directly compares to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders.

Die Kennzahlen für die Nettoverschuldung und die damit verbundene Hebelwirkung können als nicht GAAP-konforme Kennzahlen betrachtet werden. Wir definieren Nettoverschuldung als langfristige Gesamtverschuldung einschließlich des aktuellen Anteils abzüglich Bargeld. Wir definieren unsere Leverage Ratio als Nettoverschuldung geteilt durch das bereinigte EBITDA nach zwölf Monaten. Wir glauben, dass die Nettoverschuldung ein Indikator dafür ist, inwieweit die ausstehenden Schuldenverpflichtungen des Unternehmens durch Kassenbestand erfüllt werden können, und eine nützliche Messgröße für Anleger, um die Hebelposition des Unternehmens zu bewerten. Wir glauben, dass die Leverage Ratio eine häufig verwendete Kennzahl ist, anhand derer Management und Investoren die Kreditkapazität des Unternehmens bewerten.
