Insights

MRC Global posts mixed Q1 2025: Sequential 7% revenue growth but year-over-year declines; backlog growth signals potential improvement ahead.

MRC Global's Q1 2025 results present a divergent financial picture with clear strengths and weaknesses. The company reported $712 million in sales, which represents a 7% sequential increase from Q4 2024 but a 8% year-over-year decline. This pattern of sequential growth amid annual contraction appears across multiple metrics.

The company's profitability metrics show compression compared to the prior year. Gross profit margin slipped to 19.9% from 20.5% in Q1 2024, while Adjusted EBITDA fell to $36 million (5.1% of sales) compared to $57 million (7.3%) a year ago. Net income from continuing operations declined to $8 million from $20 million in Q1 2024.

Most significantly, the $30 million loss from discontinued operations related to the Canada business divestiture resulted in a bottom-line net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22 million ($0.26 per diluted share). This one-time impact transformed what would have been positive earnings into a loss for shareholders.

Operating efficiency metrics reveal challenges, with SG&A expenses increasing both in absolute terms ($124 million vs $120 million) and as a percentage of sales (17.4% vs 15.4%) compared to Q1 2024. This 2% increase in the SG&A-to-sales ratio directly impacts overall profitability.

The balance sheet remains reasonably positioned with $63 million in cash, $371 million in long-term debt, and a net debt leverage ratio of 1.7x. The company generated positive operating cash flow of $21 million and maintains substantial liquidity of $570 million.

Forward-looking indicators show promise. The $603 million backlog represents an 8% sequential increase, with management reporting April backlog up 13% over year-end levels across all sectors. CEO Rob Saltiel explicitly forecasts Q2 2025 revenues to increase sequentially by high-single to low-double digit percentages.

Sector performance was mixed, with Gas Utilities (38% of sales) growing 3% year-over-year and 8% sequentially. The company attributes this to resumed normalized buying patterns and increased capital spending budgets. Both DIET sector (31% of sales) and PTI sector (31% of sales) showed year-over-year declines but sequential improvements, with management citing completed large projects in 2024 for the annual declines.

The initiation of share repurchases in Q2 signals management's confidence, with the CEO stating that recent market volatility has created opportunities to buy shares at "attractive price levels" and return capital to shareholders.

HOUSTON, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRC Global Inc. (NYSE: MRC) today announced first quarter 2025 results from continuing operations.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

  • Operating cash flows provided by continuing operations of $21 million 
  • Sales of $712 million, a 7% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024

Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and CEO stated, “First quarter results were strong across all of our key metrics, consistent with our recent press release. Our business has continued to perform well into the second quarter, with our backlog as of April 30, 2025, up 13% over year-end levels, with solid gains across all three market sectors. This backlog growth, along with increasing intake levels and improving visibility on near-term project deliveries, reinforces our outlook that second quarter revenues should increase sequentially by a high-single to a low-double digit percentage.

"I am also pleased that we have begun execution of our share buyback program in the second quarter. Recent stock market volatility has provided an opportunity to buy our shares at attractive price levels and return cash to our shareholders." Mr. Saltiel added.

Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $8 million, as compared to net income from continuing operations of $20 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2024 was $12 million and $24 million, respectively.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2025 was ($22) million, or ($0.26) per diluted share, which includes a $30 million loss on discontinued operations, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $13 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $12 million$0.14 or per diluted share, as compared to the first quarter of 2024 result of $18 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. 

MRC Global’s first quarter of 2025 gross profit was $142 million, or 19.9% of sales, as compared to the first quarter of 2024 gross profit of $159 million, or 20.5% of sales. Gross profit for each of the first quarter 2025 and 2024 includes $1 million of expense in cost of sales relating to the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting. Adjusted Gross Profit, which excludes (among other items) the impact of LIFO, was $153 million, or 21.5% of sales, for the first quarter of 2025 and was $170 million, or 21.9% of sales, for the first quarter of 2024. 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit margin, Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage Ratio and Adjusted selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense are all non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of each of these measures to the nearest GAAP measure in this release.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $124 million, or 17.4% of sales, for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $120 million, or 15.4% of sales, for the same period in 2024. Adjusted SG&A for the first quarter of 2025 was $121 million, or 17.0% of sales, which excluded $2 million of expenses related to internal control remediation and $1 million of other non-recurring legal and consulting costs. Adjusted SG&A for the first quarter of 2024 was $117 million, or 15.1% of sales, which excluded $3 million for activism response legal and consulting costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was $36 million, or 5.1% of sales, in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $57 million, or 7.3% of sales, for the same period in 2024.

An income tax expense of $1 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 11%, as compared to an income tax expense of $8 million, with an effective tax rate of 29%, for the first quarter of 2024. These rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state income taxes, non-deductible expenses and differing foreign income tax rates. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was favorably impacted by a tax benefit from the vesting of stock awards against low pretax income.

The sale of the Canada business closed on March 14, 2025, the results of which, are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Canada discontinued operational losses, including operating losses and the loss incurred on the sale, were $30 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Sales

The company’s sales were $712 million for the first quarter of 2025, which was 8% lower than the first quarter of 2024 and 7% higher than the fourth quarter of 2024. As compared to the same quarter a year ago, the Gas Utilities sector increased offset by declines in the Downstream, Industrial and Energy Transition (DIET) and Production and Transmission Infrastructure (PTI) sectors. Sequentially, the company’s sales increase was across all sectors driven by the Gas Utilities sector followed by the PTI and DIET sectors.

Sales by Segment

U.S. sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $591 million, down $76 million, or 11%, from the same quarter in 2024. PTI sector sales decreased $44 million, or 22%, and DIET sector sales decreased $40 million, or 20%, both primarily due to large projects completing in 2024. Gas Utilities sector revenue increased $8 million, or 3%, as customers resumed normalized buying patterns and increased capital spending budgets.

Sequentially, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, U.S. sales increased $49 million, or 9%, across all sectors. The U.S. Gas Utilities sector sales, which increased $21 million, or 8%, was driven by increased customer spending due to normalizing buying patterns and preparation for the construction season, higher capital budgets and project wins. DIET sector sales increased $19 million, or 13%, due to chemical project activity, mining activity and refining turnarounds. PTI sector sales increased $9 million, or 6%, primarily due to various midstream pipeline projects primarily natural gas. 

International sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $121 million, up $11 million, or 10%, from the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by growth in the PTI sector partially offset by the DIET sector. The PTI sector increase is due primarily to several projects in the North Sea. The DIET sector decline is primarily due to the timing of project deliveries. 

Sequentially, as compared to the previous quarter, International sales were down $1 million, or 1%, as the PTI sector growth was offset by declines in the DIET sector. The PTI sector increased as a result of various projects in the North Sea, while the DIET sector decreased primarily due to the timing of project activity in the North Sea, the Middle East and Asia. 

Sales by Sector 

Gas Utilities sector sales, which are primarily U.S. based, were $273 million in the first quarter of 2025, or 38% of total sales, an increase of $8 million, or 3%, from the first quarter of 2024.

Sequentially, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the Gas Utilities sector sales increased $20 million, or 8%.

DIET sector sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $220 million, or 31% of total sales, a decrease of $47 million, or 18%, from the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in DIET sector sales was driven by declines in the U.S. and International.

Sequentially, as compared to the previous quarter, DIET sector sales were up $12 million, or 6%, due to increases in the U.S. partially offset by the International segment.

PTI sector sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $219 million, or 31% of total sales, a decline of $26 million, or 11%, from the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in PTI sector sales was due to declines in the U.S. partially offset by the International segment.

Sequentially, as compared to the prior quarter, PTI sector sales increased $16 million, or 8%, due to increases in the U.S. and the International segment.

Backlog

As of March 31, 2025, the company's backlog was $603 million, an 8% increase from the previous quarter as new order purchasing levels increased across all sectors.

The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, plus inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon which costing method they may elect. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

The company presents adjusted SG&A because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, adjusted SG&A measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. The company uses adjusted SG&A as a key performance indicator in managing its business.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, asset impairments, including inventory, long-lived asset impairments (including goodwill and intangible assets), inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations, charges related to internal control remediation 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 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.
