McJunkin Red Man Holding Corporation Announces
Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Houston, TX — August 12, 2011: McJunkin Red Man Holding Corporation (MRC), the largest global distributor of pipe, valves and fittings (PVF) and related products and services to the energy and industrial sectors based on sales, today announced its second quarter 2011 financial results.

For the second quarter of 2011, the Company generated sales of $1.17 billion, up 26% from sales of $927 million in the second quarter of 2010 and up 18% from sales of $992 million in the first quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2011 sales increased 21% to $2.16 billion from $1.79 billion during the first six months of 2010. These increases were primarily due to strengthening in MRC’s upstream and midstream end markets, which have been driven largely by improved activity levels in the oil and natural gas shale regions, and improvements in the overall business environment.

Gross margin was $173 million, or 14.8% of sales, in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $117 million, or 12.7% of sales, in the second quarter of 2010, and $147 million, or 14.8% of sales, in the first quarter of 2011. Gross margin for the first six months of 2011 was $320 million, or 14.8% of sales, compared to $247 million, or 13.8%, for the same period in 2010.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, we elected to reflect depreciation and amortization, including the amortization of intangible assets, in our reported gross margins rather than as a separate component of operating expenses. Gross margins referenced herein for prior periods have been revised to reflect results on a consistent basis. In order to maintain the visibility of each of the components of our gross margins, to facilitate more detailed period to period comparisons, and to enable comparisons to our competitors who do not have such comparable expenses, we are also reporting Adjusted Gross Margins, which exclude depreciation and amortization, as well as the impact of our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory costing methodology. A reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to reported gross margins is included herein.

Commenting on the Company’s results, Andrew R. Lane, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our end markets in North America continue to improve. It was a solid quarter for us with 26% year-on-year quarterly revenue growth and improved profitability. We increased our inventories by $69 million during the quarter due to the increase in current and forecasted demand. We expect a good level of activity in the second half of 2011.”

For the second quarter of 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $12 million (11%) compared to the same quarter in 2010.  Compared to the first quarter of 2011, SG&A expenses increased $8  million (8%). For the first six months of 2011, SG&A expenses increased $19 million (9%) over the comparable period in 2010.   These increases are attributable primarily to an increase in variable

personnel expenses and the inclusion in 2011 of the on-going and one-time expenses relating to the mid-2010 acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Bakken shales, and the June 2011 acquisition of Stainless Pipe and Fittings in Australia.

The Company generated operating income of $50 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $7 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $32 million in the first quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2011, the Company generated operating income of $82 million, compared to operating income of $29 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $53 million.

The Company’s net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $4.7 million, compared to a net loss of $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2011 the Company’s net income was $3.6 million, compared to a net loss of $27.8 million for the same period in 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA was $91 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $56 million for the same period in 2010. See the table attached hereto for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and net loss. Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $31 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was $151 million for the first six months of 2011, compared to $105 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to an increase in gross margins.

On June 8, we closed on our acquisition of Stainless Pipe and Fittings Australia (SPF). SPF expands our presence in the active Australian market and provides us with an Asian “PFF hub” for further “PVF” expansion as well as a Middle East base for further growth. The SPF acquisition is very complementary to our 2009 acquisition of Transmark Fcx.

The Company’s net working capital at June 30, 2011 was $975 million, compared to $843 million at December 31, 2010. The current year increase is the result of improving business conditions requiring greater working capital, as well as the June acquisition of SPF. These working capital additions are seen in the cash used by operations for the second quarter of 2011, which was $57 million.

On June 14, 2011, MRC and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new $1.05 billion asset based revolving credit facility. The proceeds of this facility were used to replace the existing operating lines in the U.S. and Canada, enabling us to streamline our capital structure while extending maturities and reducing borrowing rates. In connection with the refinancing of these previously existing credit facilities, we incurred a non-recurring, non-cash charge of $9.5 million during the second quarter.

Mr. Lane continued, “I’m very pleased with the significant improvement in operating income from last year and the positive net income for the quarter. The new $1.05 billion asset based revolving credit facility is the second phase of our long term debt restructuring plan following our 2009 issuance of $1.05 billion of corporate bonds. We now have a capital structure in place that meets our current needs through 2016. I’m also very pleased to add SPF to MRC. The acquisition of SPF is the next step in our international growth strategy and will lead to future growth in Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.”

Note to above:

We define Adjusted Gross Margin as reported gross margin plus depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and LIFO expense. The Company has included Adjusted Gross Margin as a supplemental disclosure because management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance without regard to items such as amortization of intangibles and LIFO impacts on cost of sales, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions they have been involved in and inventory costing methodology.

We sometimes use information derived from our consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures. Above is a presentation of Adjusted Gross Margin including a reconciliation to gross margin, as reported, the most comparable GAAP measure. The following page includes a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA including a reconciliation to net income.

Adjusted EBITDA(2)		$	90.6			$	56.1			$	60.0			$	150.6			$	104.6

Note to above:

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles and other non-recurring, non-cash charges (such as gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and goodwill impairment), and plus or minus the impact of our LIFO costing methodology. The adjustment for the impact of our LIFO inventory costing methodology is something we elected to do beginning in the second quarter of 2011 based on the non-cash nature of the charge and the significance of the charge to our results. Adjusted EBITDA referenced herein for prior periods has been revised to reflect the results on a consistent basis. The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure under its indenture and ABL credit facility and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.
