Mueller Industries reported a strong second quarter in 2021, marked by substantial growth in net sales, operating income, and net income compared to the prior year. The company benefited from unit sales growth across all segments, contributions from acquisitions, and higher copper prices.
Operating income increased to $157.8 million from $52.3 million.
Net income rose to $108.8 million from $28.0 million.
Net sales reached $1.01 billion, up from $500.2 million.
Earnings per share (EPS) increased to $1.92 from $0.50.
Mueller anticipates that strong demand in the building construction sectors will continue through the remainder of the year and expects extended lead times and abnormally high backlogs to persist well into the third quarter.
