LOS ANGELES, Sept. 08, 2017 -- Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (NYSE:RS) provided an update today on its operations located in the areas directly impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Reliance currently operates thirteen locations throughout this area, whose total sales represented approximately 4% of Reliance’s consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2017. Due to the severe weather conditions, many of these facilities were closed and unable to ship for most of last week, however, no material damage to the facilities, equipment or inventory occurred. As of September 5, 2017, all facilities have been reopened and are operational.
“We are happy to report that all of our employees and their families are safe, however, many have suffered losses and our thoughts and prayers are with them as they recover,” said Gregg Mollins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance. “We are in a solid position to support our customers as they ramp up their businesses, but it is still too early to understand the storm’s full impact on our customers’ operations and the time it will take to return to normalized shipping levels in these areas. Due to this uncertainty, we are unable to quantify any impact on our third quarter 2017 results at this time.”
Mr. Mollins continued, “The safety of our employees remains our top priority. Our thoughts are with our employees, customers and others in the Florida region as they prepare for Hurricane Irma.”
