Even in challenging times,
Reliance continues to deliver
quality products and services
– and does so profitably –
thanks to the expertise of our
management and solid execution
by our workforce. Our operational
agility helps us navigate volatile
metals pricing, changing market
conditions, and fluctuations at
any point along our supply chain.
The results: a strong corporate
balance sheet and consistent
returns to our stockholders.
We remain focused on our
balanced capital allocation
strategy: growth through
acquisitions and organic
investments, while also providing
meaningful stockholder returns.
This includes quarterly cash
dividends, which Reliance has
paid for 57 consecutive years. In
2016, we increased our dividend
– for the 24th time since our IPO –
5.9% to $0.45 per share.
