MRC Global Little Changed After Pricing IPO at Lower End

MRC Global Inc. (MRC) (MRC), the energy products and services company

owned by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) (GS), was little changed in its

first day of trading after going public at the low end of the proposed price

range.

 

The stock gained less than 1 percent to close at $21.04 in New York, after

earlier dropping as much as 6 percent to $19.75. MRC and Goldman

Sachs sold 22.73 million shares at $21 each to raise $477.3 million in an

initial public offering, according to a statement yesterday, after earlier

offering them for $21 to $23.

 

The sale price valued the Houston-based company at $2.13 billion.

Purchased by the New York-based bank five years ago, MRC dubs itself

 

the largest global distributor of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy

industry by sales. Goldman Sachs will hold about 77 percent of MRC after

the IPO, according to the prospectus.

 

MRC generated almost $5 billion in sales last year serving areas including

the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale formations in the U.S. New techniques

for smashing open oilfields more than a mile underground enabled drillers

to lift U.S. oil production to a 9-year high in 2011, Energy Department

figures showed. Natural-gas output also soared, thanks to the same

revolution in drilling technology, touching an all-time high last year.

 

In North America, which accounts for 87 percent of the global market for

hydraulic fracturing, spending on so-called fracking is expected to reach

$30 billion this year, according to Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Spears &

Associates Inc.

 

MRC will use the sale proceeds to repay debt, the prospectus shows.

Goldman Sachs planned to offer 5.7 million shares, while MRC, led by

Chief Executive Officer Andrew Lane, planned to sell the rest.

The shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol

MRC. Goldman Sachs and Barclays Plc (BARC) led the offering. The

company’s predecessor, McJunkin Red Man Holding Corp., filed for a

$750 million IPO in 2008 and later withdrew the proposal.

28 March 2012

 

MRC Global Plans to Raise as Much as $522.7 Million in IPO

 

MRC Global Inc. (MRC) (MRC), the energy products and services company

owned by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) (GS), is seeking to raise as

much as $522.7 million in a U.S. initial public offering.

 

MRC and Goldman Sachs are offering 22.7 million shares at $21 to $23

each, according to an filing to the SEC today. At the top end of the price

range, the company would be valued at about $2.3 billion.

 

The Houston-based company is the largest global distributor of pipe, valves

and fittings to the energy industry by sales, the filing shows. MRC, bought

by Goldman Sachs in 2007, is planning to go public about three years after

pulling a $750 million IPO.

 

Sales climbed 26 percent to $4.83 billion last year, according to the filing.

Net income was $29 million, compared with a loss in the year-earlier period

of $51.8 million. The company will use the proceeds to repay debt and for

general corporate purposes, the filing shows.

 

 

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc (BARC) are leading the

offering. The company, formerly known as McJunkin Red Man, will trade on

the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MRC.

 

27 May 2011

 

Mcjunkin Red Man Corp. to acquire Stainless Pipe and Fittings Australia

Pty. Ltd.

 

McJunkin Red Man Corporation (MRC) announced it is to acquire Stainless

Pipe and Fittings Australia Pty Ltd (SPF), as part of its strategic vision to be

the world’s premier pipe, valve and fitting (PVF) distribution company to

the energy and industrial markets.

 

Post the acquisition, SPF will operate as MRC SPF. The acquisition will

enhance MRC’s global project capabilities. The transaction, which is

expected to close by the end of June, is subject to customary closing

conditions.

 

SPF is the largest distributor of stainless steel piping products in the

southern hemisphere. Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, SPF has

seven locations across Australia as well as Korea, Italy, United Kingdom

and United Arab Emirates. SPF is a leading project supply specialist with

proven capabilities supplying the Oil and Gas, Mining and Mineral

Processing, Chemical and Petrochemical and Water Treatment and

Desalination industries.

 

SPF’s 430,000 square feet facility based in Perth would become MRC’s

premier pipe, fittings and flange (PFF) stocking and distribution center for

Australasia. This facility is equipped with state-of-the-art materials handling

facilities including the ability to facilitate project laydowns and provide bulk

supply provisions.

 

Complementing the Perth facility are two additional stocking locations in

Australia as well as strategically placed stockholdings in the Jebel Ali Free

Zone, UAE and in the United Kingdom.

 

Acquiring SPF would increase MRC’s global PFF stockholding in stainless

steel to a value in excess of US$50 million, with global stainless PFF sales

of more than US$300 million. The US$4 billion MRC group currently has

over 400 global service locations and US$850 million of PVF stock located

around the globe.

The acquisition would complement MRC’s 2009 purchase of Transmark

Fcx (MRC Transmark), the leading valve distributor in the eastern

hemisphere. The synergies between SPF and MRC Transmark would

create value for both companies providing a complete PVF capability in the

eastern hemisphere and supporting MRC’s drive to be the Global Supplier

of Choice®.

 

Andrew Lane, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer noted that

the acquisition furthers the company’s vision to be the world’s premier

PVF distribution company to the energy and industrial markets.

 

Lane said SPF’s PFF capabilities would allow MRC to expand on its valve

platform to have a complete global PVF supply capability. Lane reiterated

his excitement to expand the company’s presence in Australia and with

major EPC projects globally.
