Highlights:

•

•

Ended the second quarter with total Company debt of $955 million and net debt3 of $913 million, an increase of $47 million and $30 million, respectively, driven by higher working capital requirements supporting higher revenue generation.

Management Commentary

Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s Chief Executive Officer & Director, said, “Despite a high-friction economy, Ryerson delivered a promising second quarter by exceeding our revenue, shipment, and Adjusted EBITDA, excl. LIFO guidance expectations as the positively impactful validations of the Ryerson-Olympic merger are proving out all-around and every day. We generated improved sequential and year-over-year net income while realizing encouraging transactional order and market share growth, productivity gains, and synergy attainment. These results were delivered in an asymmetric but better industrial demand environment, highlighted by strong artificial intelligence driven increases in business investment, juxtaposed with somewhat stilted traditional vertical markets, as well as some supply-side capacity constraints in mill production and truck based delivery. I want to thank all of my Ryerson Family of Companies teammates for their exemplary execution in the quarter and commitment to delivering great customer experiences across our network of intelligently connected value-added service centers. Most importantly, we are building enhanced value accretion capabilities throughout our post-merger combined companies to the betterment of all Ryerson stakeholders."

Rick Marabito, Ryerson’s President, Chief Operating Officer & Director added, “Our teams executed well for our customers in the second quarter while continuing to advance the integration of Ryerson and Olympic Steel. In this market environment, customers are increasingly valuing product availability, reliability, processing capability, and speed of response, and we believe our expanded scale positions us better to meet those needs. We realized our targeted synergies for the quarter and are now expecting to exceed our first-year annual run-rate synergy goal thanks to the execution and teamwork taking place across the combined enterprise. We are encouraged by how naturally our teams are working together with a shared purpose. We are seeing the collaboration across our teams and geographies create new opportunities, solve customer needs faster, and improve the customer experience across the organization.”

Second Quarter Results

In its first full quarter together with Olympic Steel, Ryerson generated net sales of $2.01 billion, an increase of 28.1% compared to the previous quarter, which only included six weeks of Olympic Steel's results. Total Company tons shipped increased by 22.6% and average selling prices increased by 4.5% quarter-over-quarter. Excluding the impact of Olympic Steel, which generated $564 million of revenue during the quarter, second quarter same-store net sales were $1.44 billion, an increase of 11.5% quarter-over-quarter with average selling prices 7.2% higher and tons sold 4.0% higher. Year-over-year, same-store net sales increased by 23.3% with tons shipped 8.6% higher and average selling prices 13.6% higher. Demand conditions in the second quarter were constructive but uneven as secular strength in data center and power generation projects continued to support activity while other end-markets, such as those more sensitive to interest rates and inflation, remained cautious. At the same time, U.S. industrial metals prices reached multi-year highs during the quarter, with carbon products supported by tight domestic supply, extended lead times, cyclical momentum, and multi-year lows in service center inventories. Aluminum prices and Midwest premiums also rose meaningfully during the quarter, largely due to supply disruptions in the Middle East, while nickel prices remained volatile.

During the second quarter, purchase accounting related to the Olympic Steel merger increased the fair market value of acquired inventory, resulting in a one-time $15.7 million charge to cost of materials sold as acquired inventory was sold during the period. As a result, second quarter gross margin contracted by 70 basis points to 17.7% compared to 18.4% in the prior quarter. Excluding this purchase accounting adjustment, gross margin expanded marginally during the quarter by 10 basis points to 18.5%. Also reflective of the rising price environment, LIFO expense for the second quarter was $17.0 million, compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter. Excluding the impacts of LIFO and purchase accounting, gross margin expanded by 20 basis points to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to gross margin, excluding LIFO of 19.1% in the first quarter of 2026.

Second quarter total Company warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $320.3 million, an increase of 20.8% compared to $265.2 million in the prior quarter. Excluding Olympic Steel, same-store warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $218.7 million in the second quarter, relatively flat compared to $217.6 million in the prior quarter, or down as a percentage of sales from 16.8% to 15.2%. On a per ton basis, total Company warehousing, delivery, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $398 per ton in the second quarter, or $402 per ton on a same-store basis, compared to $404 per ton and $416 per ton, respectively, in the previous periods.

Net income attributable to Ryerson Holding Corporation for the second quarter of 2026 was $15.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the previous quarter and $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. After removing the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, an insurance settlement gain, advisory service fees, and impairment charges on assets as well as the related income tax benefits of these items, Ryerson's second quarter Adjusted Net Income was $27.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO was $101.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $67.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $45.0 million in the year-ago period. On a same-store basis, excluding Olympic Steel's contributions, Ryerson generated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO of $77.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $54.9 million in the prior quarter.

Olympic Steel Integration & Financial Results

In the second quarter, Ryerson realized approximately $5 million of synergy benefits through procurement, efficiency, network optimization, and commercial enhancement actions. As these actions scale across the organization and the Company advances the next

phase of its integration strategy, management expects third quarter synergy benefits to increase to approximately $13 million to $14 million, or approximately $52 to $56 million on an annualized run-rate basis. This projected realization is expected to position Ryerson to exceed its $40 million first-year annualized run-rate synergy target ahead of schedule, and the Company continues to track toward its $120 million two-year annualized run-rate synergy target.

Olympic Steel contributed $564.2 million of revenue and $23.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO, to Ryerson's results during the second quarter, exceeding management’s expectations of $21 to $23 million in Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO.

Liquidity & Debt Management

Ryerson used $5.6 million in cash from operations in the second quarter as net income generation was offset by increased receivables and inventory investment. This compares to a use of cash from operating activities of $152.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. The Company ended the second quarter of 2026 with debt of $955 million and net debt of $913 million, an increase of $47 million and $30 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2026 driven by higher working capital requirements.

Global liquidity, composed of cash and cash equivalents and availability on its revolving credit facilities, increased to $757 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $618 million as of March 31, 2026, reflective of the Company's increased borrowing base from higher working capital.

Stockholder Return Activity

Dividends. On July 29, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock, payable on September 17, 2026, to stockholders of record as of September 3, 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, Ryerson’s quarterly dividend was of the same amount and represented a total cash return to stockholders of $9.7 million.

Share Repurchases and Authorization. Ryerson returned $0.8 million to stockholders in the form of share repurchases during the second quarter through the opportunistic repurchase of approximately 39,000 shares in the open market. As these repurchases occurred before the new authorization became effective, the full $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors on May 6th remains available through April 30th, 2028.

Outlook Commentary

In the third quarter of 2026, the Company expects that shipments will decline sequentially by 3% to 5% from second quarter levels, in-line with normal seasonality patterns. The Company also anticipates that average selling prices will be flat to up by 2% as carbon pricing is expected to remain supported and offset recent LME driven corrections in stainless and aluminum pricing. Net sales are therefore expected to be in the range of $1.87 billion to $1.95 billion. Ryerson also anticipates that as higher cost inventory continues to come into the market, margin pressure will increase given program customer price lags and some non-ferrous average selling price reversion. The Company also expects to recognize approximately $5 to $7 million of additional inventory purchase accounting charges through the end of the year as it sells through the remaining acquired inventory. Excluding these inventory purchase accounting adjustments, net income generation for the third quarter of 2026 is expected to be in the range of $19 to $21 million, or $0.37 to $0.40 per diluted share, with LIFO expense between $16 and $18 million. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO is expected to be in the range of $88 to $92 million, inclusive of Olympic Steel's expected contribution of $21 to $23 million.

These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or will be more costly or difficult than expected; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, or that the merger may be less accretive than expected; the risk that the merger will not provide stockholders with increased earnings potential; the risk that increases to earnings, margins, and cash flows may not be as large as expected or many not occur at all; Ryerson and Olympic Steel may not be able to increase commercial growth, cross-sell, or expand geographically, and scale the combined businesses as expected; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; the diversion of management time from ongoing business operations and opportunities as a result of the merger; the risk of adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships resulting from the merger; adverse economic conditions; highly cyclical fluctuations resulting from, among others, seasonality, market uncertainty, and costs of goods sold; the Company’s ability to remain competitive and maintain market share in the highly competitive and fragmented metals distribution industry; managing the costs of purchased metals relative to the price at which each company sells its products during periods of rapid price escalation or deflation; customer, supplier, and competitor consolidation, bankruptcy, or insolvency; the impairment of goodwill that could result from, among other things, volatility in the markets in which each company operates; the impact of geopolitical events; future funding for postretirement employee benefits may require substantial payments from current cash flow; the regulatory and other operational risks associated with our operations located outside of the United States; the adequacy of the Company’s efforts to mitigate cyber security risks and threats; reduced production schedules, layoffs, or work stoppages by each company’s own, its suppliers’, or customers’ personnel; any underfunding of certain employee retirement benefit plans and the actual costs exceeding current estimates; prolonged disruption of the Company’s processing centers; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among customers or suppliers of each company; unanticipated changes to, or any inability to hire and retain key personnel at either company; currency exchange rate fluctuations; the incurrence of substantial costs of liabilities to comply with, or as a result of, violations of environmental laws; the risk of product liability claims; the Company’s indebtedness or covenants in the instruments governing such indebtedness; the influence of a single investor group over the Company’s policies and procedures; and other risks inherent in Ryerson’s business and other factors described in Ryerson’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Ryerson.

Note: EBITDA represents net income (loss) 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 litigation settlement, reorganization expenses, impairment charges on assets, advisory service fees, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and purchase consideration and other transaction costs. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, 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, 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, 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, targets. We also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, to benchmark our operating performance to that of our competitors. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income (loss) or cash flows provided by (used in) operations as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, 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, which is calculated as gross profit minus LIFO expense, divided by net sales and gross margin, excluding LIFO expense and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, which is calculated as gross profit plus LIFO expense and purchase accounting inventory adjustments divided by net sales. We have excluded LIFO expense and purchase accounting inventory adjustments from gross margin 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 as well as remove the effect of non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, gross margin, excluding LIFO expense, gross margin excluding LIFO expense and purchase accounting inventory adjustments and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense, as a percentage of sales may differ from that of other companies.

Ryerson Holding Corporation Earnings Presentation Second Quarter 2026 Exhibit 99.2

Important Information About Ryerson Holding Corporation These materials do not constitute an offer or solicitation to purchase or sell securities of Ryerson Holding Corporation (“Ryerson” or “the Company”) or its subsidiaries and no investment decision should be made based upon the information provided herein. 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 release 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 our business are: the cyclicality of our business; the highly competitive, volatile, and fragmented metals industry in which we operate; the impact of geopolitical events; fluctuating metal prices; our 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; the influence of a single investor group over our policies and procedures; work stoppages; obligations under certain employee retirement benefit plans; currency fluctuations; and consolidation in the metals 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 most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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. Non-GAAP Measures Certain measures contained in these slides or the related presentation are not measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). They should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures appearing in these slides are identified in the footnotes. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Appendix.

EBITDA, excl. LIFO attainment Expanded scale improves availability, reliability, and speed of customer service Ryerson executed well within overall improved industry conditions, using its enhanced scale and technologically enabled metals platform to generate stronger earnings and overall financial performance in the quarter. Q2 2026 Highlights

End-Market Demand RYERSON Volumes exceeded expectations, with broad sequential improvement: Total company shipments increased 22.6% quarter-over-quarter, or 4.0% on a same-store basis, exceeding guidance expectations. Secular demand supported activity across traditional end markets: Data center and power generation-related sales represented approximately 7% of second quarter revenue and increased approximately 30% sequentially, with activity tied to customers’ power, IT hardware, cooling, fabrication, and related project work. Commercial Transportation and Climate showed notable strength: Commercial Transportation delivered solid single-digit North American same-store volume growth, led by truck cab activity, while Climate delivered double-digit North American same-store growth supported by larger HVAC customers serving both data center and traditional markets. Recovery remains selective across cyclical sectors: On a North American same-store basis, Fabrication & Welding improved with support from data center project activity and manufacturing expansion, Consumer Products remained flat overall despite growth among top appliance customers, and, while Agriculture improved modestly quarter-over-quarter, that industry remains recessed given current farming economics.

Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and reflect Ryerson’s current views about future events. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about the benefits of the merger involving Ryerson and Olympic Steel, including future financial and operating results, Ryerson’s plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements contained in this communication will occur as projected, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or will be more costly or difficult than expected; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, or that the transaction may be less accretive than expected; the risk that the merger will not provide shareholders with increased earnings potential; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; the diversion of management time from ongoing business operations and opportunities as a result of the transaction; the risk of adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships resulting from the merger; adverse economic conditions; highly cyclical fluctuations resulting from, among others, seasonality, market uncertainty, and costs of goods sold; the Company’s ability to remain competitive and maintain market share in the highly competitive and fragmented metals distribution industry; managing the costs of purchased metals relative to the price at which each company sells its products during periods of rapid price escalation or deflation; customer, supplier, and competitor consolidation, bankruptcy, or insolvency; the impairment of goodwill that could result from, among other things, volatility in the markets in which each company operates; the impact of geopolitical events; future funding for postretirement employee benefits may require substantial payments from current cash flow; the regulatory and other operational risks associated with our operations located outside of the United States; currency rate fluctuations; the adequacy of the Company’s efforts to mitigate cyber security risks and threats; reduced production schedules, layoffs, or work stoppages by each company’s own, its suppliers’, or customers’ personnel; any underfunding of certain employee retirement benefit plans and the actual costs exceeding current estimates; prolonged disruption of the Company’s processing centers; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among customers or suppliers of each company; unanticipated changes to, or any inability to hire and retain key personnel at either company; currency exchange rate fluctuations; the incurrence of substantial costs of liabilities to comply with, or as a result of, violations of environmental laws; the risk of product liability claims; the Company’s indebtedness or covenants in the instruments governing such indebtedness; the influence of a single investor group over the company’s policies and procedures; and other risks inherent in Ryerson’s business and other factors described in Ryerson’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Ryerson. If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management as of the date of this communication; subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. Ryerson does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law and they specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.
