Radius Recycling increases cost reduction target by $40M

During the second quarter, the Company implemented a plan to reduce SG&A expense by 10% and increase production cost efficiencies to deliver $40 million in aggregate annual benefits. The new measures include reductions in headcount and other employee-related expenses, as well as decreases in non-trade procurement spend, transportation and logistics, and other outside services. Approximately half of the targeted quarterly run-rate benefits from these initiatives are expected to be achieved in the third quarter, with substantially all of the remainder by the end of the fiscal year. The Company expects to incur related restructuring charges and other exit-related costs of approximately $6 million, of which $3 million were incurred during the second quarter.
