Sales in the downstream and industrial sectors fell $ 68 million, or 36%, as critical turnarounds were completed, but overall spending was reduced due to lower demand caused by the pandemic. Upstream manufacturing sales were down $ 77 million, or 55%, due to lower spending from the pandemic and a 57% reduction in well closings. Revenue in the midstream pipeline sector was down $ 53 million, or 51%, mainly due to lower customer spending as projects were canceled or delayed, which resulted in lower demand for infrastructure as production declined.

Canadian sales were $ 23 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a decrease of $ 20 million, or 47%, from the year-ago quarter. This was due to the upstream sector, which was impacted by the pandemic and associated lower demand.

International sales were $ 108 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a decrease of $ 7 million, or 6%, over the same period in 2019. This was mainly due to weaker demand in the upstream sector due to the impact of the pandemic, particularly in the US middle East and Norway.

COVID-19 pandemic impact

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated mitigation measures have created significant volatility and uncertainty in the oil and gas industry. As a result, the demand for oil has deteriorated considerably. The unprecedented destruction of demand has resulted in lower spending by our customers and lower demand for the company's products and services. Although oil demand has improved slightly, there is uncertainty about when a stronger recovery will occur.

As a critical supplier of global energy infrastructure and an essential business, the company has remained operational without any facility closings. Our office staff initially worked from home at the start of the pandemic, but returned to the office to varying degrees in each location depending on the stage of the pandemic. From February 2, 2021The company had reported 10 active COVID-19 diseases, representing 0.4% of our global workforce. MRC Global has implemented various security measures for employees who work in the company's facilities and remote working for those whose work permits. MRC Global is committed to ensuring a safe work environment for all employees and constantly monitors its response at the locations where the company operates.

From a supply chain perspective, given the company's inventory levels and lower demand, the company has executed orders without interruption.

Notes on above:
* *	Don't step because of rounding
(1)	In the fourth quarter of 2020, a pre-tax non-cash charge of $ 12 million was recognized for excess and obsolete inventory that was recognized in the cost of goods sold. $ 9 million in the US, $ 2 million in Canada, and $ 1 million in international. For the full year 2020, material costs of $ 46 million (pre-tax) were recognized in cost of goods sold. Fees of $ 28 million in the US and $ 2 million in Canada relate to excess and obsolete inventory based on the current market outlook for certain products. International segment fees of $ 16 million relate to increased reserves for excess and obsolete inventory as well as the exit from the Thailand business. For each of the three months and the year ended December 31, 2019, a pre-tax non-cash charge of $ 5 million was recognized in the cost of goods sold in the international segment for excess and obsolete inventory. For each of the three months and years ended December 31, 2019, an additional $ 3 million in fees (before taxes) was booked in US revenue for the final completion of a multi-year customer project. Without these costs, adjusted gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2019 would have been 20.1% and 19.7%, respectively.

The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales minus cost of sales plus amortization plus amortization of intangible assets plus inventory costs and plus or minus the effects 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 company-to-company acquisitions may vary were involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing 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 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 accounting principles in the United States and that is most directly comparable to adjusted gross profit.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and asset impairments, including inventory) and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because the company believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company's operating performance. Among other things, adjusted EBITDA measures the company's operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA does not account for certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company's operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the company does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income and sales, to measure operating performance. See the company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more thorough discussion of the use of adjusted EBITDA.

Charges of $22 million in the U.S. and $1 million in Canada relate to excess and obsolete inventory as a result of the current market outlook for certain products. International segment charges of $15 million relate to increased reserves for excess and obsolete inventory as well as the exit of the Thailand business. For each of the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, $5 million of non-cash charges (after-tax) were recorded in cost of goods sold in the international segment for excess and obsolete inventory.
(3)	Sub-lease income and charges (after-tax) for lease impairments and abandonments related to facility closures, substantially non-cash, were recorded in 2020. In the fourth quarter, $1 million of sub-lease income was recorded for an Australian property in the International segment. In 2020, a net charge (after-tax) of $13 million was recorded with $10 million in the International segment, $2 million in the U.S. segment and $1 million in the Canada segment. Also includes $2 million of non-cash (after-tax) charges for the write-down of assets for facilities in Canada, recorded in Other expense.

(6)	Income (after-tax) recorded in Other, net with $3 million in the U.S. and $1 million in Canada.

The company defines adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as net income attributable to common stockholders less after-tax goodwill and intangible impairment, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring, plus or minus the after-tax impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and related per share amounts because the company believes it provides useful comparisons of the company's operating results to other companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry, without regard to the irregular variations from certain restructuring events not indicative of the on-going business. Those items include goodwill and intangible asset impairments, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring as well as the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders.
