A. M. Castle & Co. announced that it expects its third quarter ended September 30, 2013 financial performance to come in below second quarter 2013 adjusted results. Third quarter earnings are expected to be a net loss of approximately $0.28 to $0.32 per diluted share and EBITDA is expected to range between $4 million to $5 million.

The company anticipates that its third quarter adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA results will be comparable to these preliminary estimates. The preliminary results for the third quarter indicate lower revenue as a result of continued weakness from key end markets. Challenging industry conditions and the late cycle nature of the company's end markets have weighed on overall results, resulting in softer than expected third quarter revenue performance ranging between $250 million to $255 million.
