Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Aug 2025, Pension Retirement Plan for the Employees of Radius Recycling Inc. and Affiliated Employers covered 177 participants and held $12.8M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Radius Recycling, Inc. of Portland, Oregon. It is a multiple-employer plan covering the employees of more than one employer.
Net assets came to $72,143 per participant, below the $80,635 median for defined benefit plans with 100 to 249 participants and above the $67,961 median for defined benefit plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $138K: $782 per participant, well above the same-size median of $451. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $157K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $16.4M in 2009 to $12.8M in 2024 (down 22%), and participants from 307 to 177 (down 42%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $451 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $157,172.

Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
