bewertung ist interessant, Unternehmen scheint sehr solide (wenn auch ausgesprochen klein).

allerdings gab es im bisherigen verlauf des Geschäftsjahres Probleme sowohl auf den Absatzmärkten:

The decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from the reduction in tons shipped and a decrease in margins earned on sales as the increase in cost of material could not be passed along in total to customers in the short term. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from approximately 9.8% in the 2004 period to approximately 7.7% in the 2005 period. During the 2004 period, the Company experienced strong market conditions for its products whereas market conditions were somewhat softer in the 2005 period.

als auch auf den Einkaufsmärkten:

In the 2005 period, the Company’s Lone Star coil facility (“LSCF”) in Lone Star, Texas, continued to experience a lack of supply of coil products from its primary coil supplier, Lone Star Steel Company (“LSS”). LSCF, which accounted for approximately 6% of total sales in the 2005 period, has from time to time purchased coils from other suppliers. However, freight costs associated with these purchases diminishes the Company’s competitiveness in a very competitive industry. LSCF produced a profit from operations in the 2005 period. A further reduction in supply could have an adverse effect on coil segment operations.

Es ist fast erstaunlich, dass der Gewinn nicht stärker eingebrochen ist. Scheint an einer etwas kritischen Stelle in der Stahl-Wertschöpfungskette zu sein.
