In FY 2009, Schnitzer Steel Industries reported revenues of $556 million, and net income of $10 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter. The company generated $46 million in cash from operations, bringing the total cash from operations for the fiscal year to $288 million.

All three of the company’s operating businesses -- metals recycling, auto parts and steel manufacturing -- reported positive operating income, the company stated.

CEO Tamara Lundgren said the company is encouraged overseas markets will offset the weak domestic market expected in the coming year.
