1EBITDA, EBIT and Free Cash Flow per share are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA represent earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation. EBIT represents earnings before interest, and income taxes. Free cash flow per share represents cash from operating activities before change in working capital less capital expenditures divided by average shares outstanding for the period. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, under the headings “Non-GAAP Measures”, “EBIT and EBITDA”, and “Free Cash Flow”. |
$5 million or $0.07 per share on revenues of $588 million. These results compare to net income of $31 million or $0.50 per share on revenues of $937 million in the 2019 second quarter.
$116 million in cash from operations, as our business realized the benefits of continued strong cash flows from working capital reductions. At June 30, 2020, our liquidity remained strong with cash on hand and availability from the undrawn portion of our committed credit facility of $478 million.
John G. Reid, President and CEO, commented, “During the second quarter, the pandemic along with low energy prices created intense business conditions. Demand at our service center and distribution operations appeared to bottom out in April followed by a modest, yet steady, increase throughout the balance of the quarter. I want to commend our service centers for their performance as the segment generated higher earnings from operations in the 2020 second quarter than the comparable period last year. In addition, the service center segment continued to gain market share when compared to the Metal Service Center Institute’s statistics.”
$95 million which supports our dividend. I also want to commend all of our employees for their continued efforts in adhering to our safety protocols in response to the pandemic as we remain committed to putting the health and safety of our employee group first and foremost.”
$0.38 per common share payable September 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of August 27, 2020. We will continue our practice of prudently reviewing our dividend and ensure that it is supported by a strong balance sheet and cash flows.
$373 million for the quarter compared to $535 million in the same quarter in 2019. The average selling price declined 14% over the second quarter of 2019 and was consistent with the 2020 first quarter. Tons shipped were approximately 19% lower than the 2019 second quarter and 14% lower than the 2020 first quarter. Due to the pandemic most jurisdictions where we operate had restrictions for non-essential businesses which resulted in certain customer plant closures. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues for the 2020 second quarter were 20.9% compared to 18.7% in the same period of 2019 and 21.3% in the first quarter of 2020. Operating profits were $25 million compared to $23 million in the 2019 second quarter and $18 million in the first quarter of 2020, as expense reductions and government wage support programs offset the reduction in gross margin dollars.
$149 million compared to $298 million in the 2019 second quarter. Historically low North American rig counts, and the wet Western Canadian spring impacted demand. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues of 15.4% were lower than the comparative 19.5% for the 2019 second quarter. An inventory valuation provision of $5 million was included in the 2020 second quarter results primarily due to our line pipe and OCTG operations. Operating losses were $4 million in the energy products segment compared to operating profits of $24 million in the second quarter of 2019 with our Comco Pipe and field store operations collectively generated operating income of $4 million in the quarter.
$64 million compared to $100 million in the 2019 second quarter due to lower demand and steel prices. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues for the 2020 second quarter were 10.3% compared to 13.5% in the same period 2019. Operating profits of $2 million for the quarter compared to $7 million in the 2019 second quarter.
