Insights

MRC Global reported strong Q2 sequential growth but year-over-year declines; pending DNOW merger represents significant strategic shift amid mixed sector performance.

MRC Global delivered $798 million in Q2 revenue, flat year-over-year but up 12% sequentially. While this sequential growth is impressive and hit the top of their guidance range, the year-over-year comparison reveals some concerning trends. Net income from continuing operations fell significantly to $13 million compared to $30 million in Q2 2024, representing a 57% decline.

Profitability metrics show similar pressure, with adjusted EBITDA of $54 million (or 6.8% of sales) down from $65 million (8.1% of sales) a year ago. Gross profit margins contracted from 21.2% to 18.9% year-over-year, while adjusted gross profit margins narrowed from 22.5% to 21.6%.

The segment analysis reveals a shifting business mix. Gas Utilities (now 37% of total sales) grew 4% year-over-year and 10% sequentially, demonstrating resilience. PTI sector (35% of sales) showed strong growth of 8% year-over-year and an impressive 26% sequentially. However, the DIET sector (28% of sales) declined 13% year-over-year, primarily due to completed non-recurring projects.

The pending all-stock merger with DNOW represents a transformative strategic move. Management has suspended share repurchases (after buying back $15 million at $12.35 per share) and future guidance due to this pending transaction. The $6 million in merger-related expenses impacted SG&A costs, which rose to 16.3% of sales versus 15.3% a year ago.

MRC's backlog of $589 million declined 2% sequentially, with PTI sector weakness partially offset by DIET and Gas Utilities improvements. The company's balance sheet shows $75 million in cash and $449 million in long-term debt, with negative operating cash flow of $46 million in Q2, suggesting some working capital challenges despite the sequential revenue improvement.

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

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

  • Sales of $798 million, a 12% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025
  • Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, of 18.9%  
  • Adjusted Gross Profit, as a percentage of sales, of 21.6%
  • Net income from continuing operations of $13 million  
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $54 million, or 6.8% of sales  
  • Returned $15 million to shareholders through share repurchases

Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and CEO, stated, “We delivered a strong second quarter, with revenue rising 12% from the first quarter of 2025, at the top of our previous guidance range. All sectors contributed to the sequential revenue increase, led by PTI with 26% sales growth due to robust project activity across both the U.S. and international markets. Our Gas Utilities business continued its rebound with 10% sequential revenue growth, fueled by increased construction projects. Adjusted EBITDA surged 50% sequentially, with margins expanding 170 basis points, reflecting strong operating leverage. We also returned $15 million to shareholders through strategic share repurchases at an average price of $12.35 per share.

“Our recently announced merger agreement with DNOW Inc. marks a transformative step forward for MRC Global. This combination will create a premier energy and industrial solutions provider with expanded capabilities and scale. Our customers will benefit from a broader portfolio of innovative offerings, our team members will enjoy greater career opportunities, and our investors will gain exposure to a larger, more diverse, and more efficient enterprise.

"We expect sequential revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth in the third quarter, driven by our DIET and Gas Utilities sectors. We are also reaffirming our full-year guidance provided last quarter but will not be providing future financial guidance due to the pending merger with DNOW," Mr. Saltiel added.

Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2025 was $13 million, as compared to net income from continuing operations of $30 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024 was $22 million and $33 million, respectively.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $13 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $24 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $22 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to the second quarter of 2024 adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $27 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net 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.

MRC Global’s second quarter of 2025 gross profit was $151 million, or 18.9% of sales, as compared to the second quarter of 2024 gross profit of $169 million, or 21.2% of sales. Gross profit for each of the second quarter 2025 and 2024 includes $10 million of expense and $1 million of expense, respectively, 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 $172 million, or 21.6% of sales, for the second quarter of 2025 and was $180 million, or 22.5% of sales, for the second quarter of 2024. 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $130 million, or 16.3% of sales, for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $122 million, or 15.3% of sales, for the same period in 2024. Adjusted SG&A for the second quarter of 2025 was $124 million, or 15.5% of sales, which excluded $6 million of other non-recurring legal and consulting costs related to the pending DNOW–MRC Global merger. Adjusted SG&A for the second quarter of 2024 was $120 million, or 15.0% of sales, which excluded $2 million for activism response and facility closure expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $54 million, or 6.8% of sales, in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $65 million, or 8.1% of sales, for the same period in 2024.

An income tax expense of $5 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 28%, as compared to an income tax expense of $12 million, with an effective tax rate of 29%, for the second quarter of 2024. These rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and varying foreign income tax rates. 

The sale of the Canada business closed on March 14, 2025, the results of which are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. 

Sales

The company’s sales were $798 million for the second quarter of 2025, which was similar to the second quarter of 2024 and 12% higher than the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the same quarter a year ago, the Downstream, Industrial, and Energy Transition (DIET) sector experienced a slight decline, balanced by growth in the Production and Transmission Infrastructure (PTI) and Gas Utilities sectors. Sequentially, the company’s sales increase was across all sectors, with the PTI sector leading the growth, followed by the Gas Utilities and DIET sectors.

Sales by Segment

U.S. sales in the second quarter of 2025 were $658 million, a $19 million, or 3%, decrease from the same quarter in 2024. DIET sector sales decreased $26 million, or 14%, primarily due to the completion of non-recurring line pipe project sales. PTI sector sales decreased by $5 million, or 2%, due to the completion of several projects and more measured upstream customer investment. Gas Utilities sector revenue increased $12 million, or 4%, as customers advanced infrastructure initiatives and resumed typical buying behavior amid stronger capital budgets.

Sequentially, compared to the first quarter of 2025, U.S. sales increased $67 million, or 11%. The PTI sector led with a $41 million, or 26%, increase driven by midstream pipeline projects and the scaling of a key customer contract. The U.S. Gas Utilities sector also contributed, with sales growing $26 million, or 10%, on the strength of seasonal construction activity and recent project wins. DIET sector sales were unchanged. 

International sales reached $140 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $18 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2024. Growth was led by the PTI sector, driven by several North Sea projects, while the DIET sector saw a decline due to reduced turnaround activity and the timing of project deliveries.

Sequentially, International sales improved $19 million, or 16%, from the previous quarter, led by growth in the PTI sector, followed by gains in the DIET sector. PTI benefited from project deliveries in the Middle East and Norway, while DIET saw increased activity from wind energy projects in Norway and mining projects in Australia.

Sales by Sector 

Gas Utilities sector sales, which are primarily U.S.-based, were $299 million in the second quarter of 2025, or 37% of total sales, an increase of $12 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2024.

Sequentially, compared to the first quarter of 2025, the Gas Utilities sector sales increased $26 million, or 10%.

DIET sector sales in the second quarter of 2025 were $223 million, or 28% of total sales, a decrease of $33 million, or 13%, from the second quarter of 2024, with declines in the U.S. and International segments.

Sequentially, compared to the previous quarter, DIET sector sales were up $3 million, or 1%, driven by the International segment.

PTI sector sales in the second quarter of 2025 were $276 million, or 35% of total sales, an increase of $20 million, or 8%, from the second quarter of 2024. The increase in PTI sector sales was driven by the International segment, partially offset by the U.S. segment.

Sequentially, as compared to the prior quarter, PTI sector sales increased $57 million, or 26%, led by growth in the U.S., followed by the International segment.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2025, the company's backlog was $589 million, a 2% decrease from the previous quarter, driven by a decline in the PTI sector backlog, partially offset by increases in the DIET and Gas Utilities sectors.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2025, the cash balance was $75 million, long-term debt (including current portion) was $449 million, and Net Debt was $374 million.

As of June 30, 2025, availability under the company’s asset-based lending facility was $499 million, and liquidity was $574 million.

Share Repurchase Program 

In January 2025, the board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for common stock up to $125 million. During the second quarter of 2025, the company purchased $15 million of its common stock at an average price of $12.35 per share. The common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025, were 85.0 million shares.

Due to the pending combination, the share repurchase program has been suspended.

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 defines adjusted selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as SG&A, restructuring expenses and other unusual items. 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 believes that SG&A is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that is most directly comparable to adjusted SG&A.

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.

The company defines adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) as net (loss) income plus the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, plus or minus the after-tax impact of items deemed non-standard and plus or minus the after-tax impact of its 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. After-tax impacts were determined using the company's U.S. blended statutory rate. The company presents adjusted net income from continuing operations 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. The company believes that net (loss) income 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 from continuing operations.

Net Debt and related leverage metrics may be considered non-GAAP measures. The company defines Net Debt as total long-term debt, including current portion, minus cash. The company defines its net debt leverage ratio as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. The company believes Net Debt is an indicator of the extent to which the company’s outstanding debt obligations could be satisfied by cash on hand and a useful metric for investors to evaluate the company’s leverage position. The company believes the net debt leverage ratio is a commonly used metric that management and investors use to assess the borrowing capacity of the company. The company believes total long-term debt (including the current portion) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Net Debt.
