Steel Dynamics, Inc. has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024.
The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing a decrease in net sales to $4,341,615,000 from $4,587,057,000 in the same quarter the previous year. This decrease is attributed to lower average selling prices for steel products.
Cost of goods sold for the quarter was $3,736,398,000, representing 86% of net sales, compared to 79% in the same quarter of the previous year. This increase in cost ratio is due to a decrease in metal spread across all operating platforms.
The company reported an operating income of $395,437,000 for the quarter, compared to $733,550,000 in the previous year, with the decline attributed to reduced metal spreads.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $167,692,000 from $145,896,000, primarily due to an increase in payroll and benefits expenses related to the growth of the aluminum operations segment.
