MRC Global Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results
HOUSTON, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRC Global Inc. (NYSE: MRC) today announced third quarter 2025 results from continuing operations.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:
- Sales of $678 million, a 15% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2025
- Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, of 18.4%
- Adjusted Gross Profit, as a percentage of sales, of 21.8%
- Net loss from continuing operations of $9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of $36 million, or 5.3% of sales
- Revenue backlog of $571 million, an increase of 4% compared to the same period last year (a 21% year-on-year increase in the U.S. segment backlog)
Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and CEO, commented, “The implementation of our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in our U.S. segment encountered significant challenges that adversely impacted our revenues, profitability, and cash flows, during our third quarter. We deployed extensive resources to ensure that customer service levels were maintained and that business operations could function as we addressed the system issues. I am pleased to report that our financial and operations performance improved dramatically by the end of our third quarter and that this more normalized performance has continued throughout the month of October. We greatly appreciate the patience of our customers and the hard work by the entire MRC Global team during this system transition.”
Kelly Youngblood, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “The unexpected revenue shortfall in the third quarter resulting from the new U.S. ERP system implementation was a one-time isolated event. Due to delays in shipments and invoicing, our U.S. backlog grew in the third quarter compared to the same quarter last year, bucking the normal seasonal trend. We expect that future quarters will release this backlog growth to revenue, and we anticipate mid-to-high single-digit percentage revenue growth sequentially for the entire company in the fourth quarter of 2025. As our invoicing returns to normalized levels, we expect an improved cash flow outlook for 2026.”
Mr. Saltiel continued, “We look forward to closing our merger with DNOW Inc., as this will be transformational for MRC Global. The 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 diversified, and more efficient enterprise."
Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2025 was ($9) million, as compared to net income from continuing operations of $29 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024 was $11 million and $24 million, respectively.
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.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2025 was ($9) million, or ($0.11) per diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $23 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2025 was $11 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, as compared to the third quarter of 2024 adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $17 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.
MRC Global’s third quarter of 2025 gross profit was $125 million, or 18.4% of sales, as compared to the third quarter of 2024 gross profit of $157 million, or 20.4% of sales. Gross profit for each of the third quarter 2025 and 2024 includes $13 million of expense and $6 million of income, 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 $148 million, or 21.8% of sales, for the third quarter of 2025 and was $162 million, or 21.0% of sales, for the third quarter of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $128 million, or 18.9% of sales, for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $120 million, or 15.6% of sales, for the same period in 2024. Adjusted SG&A for the third quarter of 2025 was $116 million, or 17.1% of sales, which excluded $6 million of other non-recurring legal and consulting costs related to the pending DNOW–MRC Global merger and $6 million of ERP system implementation costs. Adjusted SG&A for the third quarter of 2024 was $120 million, or 15.6% of sales.
Adjusted EBITDA was $36 million, or 5.3% of sales, in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $47 million, or 6.1% of sales, for the same period in 2024.
An income tax benefit of $4 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 31%, as compared to an income tax expense of $3 million, with an effective tax rate of 9%, for the third 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. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased due to a loss before tax and the impact of discrete tax benefits.
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 $678 million for the third quarter of 2025, which was 12% lower than the third quarter of 2024 and 15% lower than the second quarter of 2025. Compared to the same quarter a year ago, the International segment was up modestly but offset by a decline in the U.S. segment. Sequentially, the company’s sales decrease was across all sectors. Both comparative periods were negatively impacted by operational challenges related to the U.S. ERP system implementation in the third quarter.
Sales by Segment
U.S. sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $550 million, a $94 million, or 15%, decrease from the same quarter in 2024. All sectors experienced a decline primarily driven by the negative impact of operational challenges related to our ERP system implementation. The Production, Transmission, and Infrastructure (PTI) sector sales decreased by $54 million, or 30%, due to a combination of ERP disruption and reduced upstream activity from lower commodity prices. Downstream, Industrial and Energy Transition (DIET) sector sales decreased $39 million, or 23%, due to a combination of ERP disruption and postponed or canceled projects from tariff-induced higher steel costs, as well as activity declines in the chemical and refining markets. The Gas Utilities sector revenue decreased $1 million.
Sequentially, compared to the second quarter of 2025, U.S. sales decreased $108 million, or 16%. All sectors experienced a decline primarily driven by the negative impact of operational challenges related to our ERP system implementation. The U.S. PTI sector sales fell $70 million, or 36%, and were also negatively influenced by reduced upstream activity due to lower commodity prices. The U.S. DIET sector sales declined by $31 million, or 19%, and were also negatively impacted by canceled or delayed projects. The U.S. Gas Utilities sector sales decreased $7 million, or 2%, the least of all sectors, as the market fundamentals remained robust, offsetting some of the ERP disruption during the quarter.
International sales reached $128 million in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $1 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2024. The modest year-over-year growth was driven by the PTI sector, primarily for North Sea project activity.
Sequentially, International sales decreased $12 million, or 9%, from the previous quarter, as growth in the DIET sector, led by projects in Norway, was offset by declines in the PTI sector in Norway and the Middle East.
Sales by Sector
Gas Utilities sector sales, which are primarily U.S.-based, were $292 million in the third quarter of 2025, or 43% of total sales, a decrease of $1 million from the third quarter of 2024.
Sequentially, compared to the second quarter of 2025, the Gas Utilities sector sales decreased $7 million, or 2%.
DIET sector sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $199 million, or 29% of total sales, a decrease of $40 million, or 17%, from the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the U.S. segment.
Sequentially, compared to the previous quarter, DIET sector sales were down $24 million, or 11%, due to declines in the U.S. segment, partially offset by an increase in the International segment.
PTI sector sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $187 million, or 28% of total sales, a decrease of $52 million, or 22%, from the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in PTI sector sales was driven by the U.S. segment, partially offset by the International segment.
Sequentially, as compared to the prior quarter, PTI sector sales decreased $89 million, or 32%, primarily due to the U.S. segment, followed by the International segment.
Backlog
As of September 30, 2025, the company's backlog was $571 million, a 3% decrease from the previous quarter, but an increase of 4% compared to the same period last year. The U.S. segment backlog is up 21% compared to the same period last year, supporting a sales increase in the fourth quarter as operational levels normalize from the ERP challenges experienced during the third quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 30, 2025, the cash balance was $59 million, long-term debt (including current portion) was $476 million, and Net Debt was $417 million. Cash used in continuing operations was $36 million in the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, availability under the company’s asset-based lending facility was $477 million, and liquidity was $536 million. Debt and operating cash flow were both negatively impacted by the ERP system implementation challenges experienced in the third quarter. However, these are expected to resolve as collections continue to normalize in subsequent quarters.
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 September 30, 2025, were 84.9 million shares.
Due to the pending combination, the share repurchase program has been suspended.
Agreement to Combine with DNOW
On June 26, 2025, DNOW Inc. (NYSE: DNOW) and MRC Global jointly announced a definitive merger agreement under which DNOW will acquire MRC Global in an all-stock transaction. The transaction was unanimously approved by both the DNOW and MRC Global boards of directors. The transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions. It is currently anticipated that the transaction closing will occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Given the pending combination with DNOW, we will not host a conference call or webcast to discuss our third quarter 2025 results.

Notes to above:
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 our internal control remediation, the Merger and non-capitalizable expenses related to the U.S. ERP system implementation 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.

The company defines adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, 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. After-tax impacts were determined using the company's blended statutory rate. The company presents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and related per share amounts 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. Those items include goodwill and intangible asset impairments, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring, internal control remediation expenses, as well as the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon which costing method they may elect. The company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders 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 attributable to common stockholders.

Notes to above:
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.
