Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2015,June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (ASU 2015-11),2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: which requires an entity to measure inventory atuse a forward-looking expected loss model versus the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. The company adopted ASU 2015-11 as required in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis, and the adoption had no impact on itscurrent incurred loss model for most financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which is codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  FASB has since issued clarifying guidance in the form of ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contract with Customers : Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, collectively (ASC 606). The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 also requires additional disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. ASC 606instruments, including accounts receivable. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017,2019, but can be early adopted for annual and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016, using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.adopted. The company is finalizingcurrently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have in its adoption planconsolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

Note 2. Acquisition – United Steel Supply, LLC

On March 1, 2019, the company purchased 75% of the equity interest of United Steel Supply, LLC (USS) for cash consideration of $93.4 million, subject to customary actual working capital purchase price adjustments. Additionally, the company has an option to purchase, and the sellers have the option to require the company to purchase, the remaining 25% equity interest of USS in whichthe future. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, USS is a leading distributor of painted Galvalume® flat roll steel used for roofing and siding applications, with distribution centers strategically located in Mississippi, Indiana, Arkansas, and Oregon. USS provides the company a new, complementary distribution channel and connects it has identified current revenue streamsto a rapidly growing industry segment with customers that do not traditionally purchase steel directly from a steel producer. USS’s operating results from and analyzed those revenue streams pursuantafter March 1, 2019, are reflected in the company’s financial statements in the steel operations reporting segment.

Note 3. Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic(ASC 842): and its subsequent corresponding updates; which establishesestablished a new lease accounting model that requires lessees to recognize a right of useright-of-use asset and related lease liability for most leases having lease terms of more than 12 months (ASU 2016-02).  Leasesmonths. The company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method, thereby applying the new guidance at the effective date, without retrospective application to prior periods. The company elected practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allowed the company to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions regarding lease identification and classification. The company elected to use hindsight when determining the lease term. The company also elected the short-term lease exemption, and did not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, those with a termlease commencement date terms of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.  This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, but can be early adopted.less. The company is currently evaluatingrecognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $76.3 million, with no impact on retained earnings, in the consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019, and the standard did not have a significant impact on the company’s operating results or cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019.

The company has operating leases relating principally to transportation and other equipment, and some real estate. The company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception, which generally occurs when the arrangement identifies a specific asset that the company has the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the provisionseconomic benefit from use of ASU 2016-02, including the timingidentified asset. Certain of adoption. 

Reclassifications

our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses (including fixed and index-based escalations), and options to extend or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease obligations under the standard, the company’s lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the company will exercise such option. The company early adopted, effective December 31, 2016, Improvementuses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). Cash paid to tax authorities from shares withheld to satisfydetermine the company’s statutory income tax withholding obligationpresent value of $2.2 million were reclassified to financing activities from operating activitieslease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the weighted average dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding during the period applied to the company’s basic earnings per share. Common share equivalents represent potentially dilutive restricted stock units, deferred stock units, restricted stock, options and other equity-based awards;performance awards, and are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. There were no anti-dilutive common share equivalents atas of or for the three and nine monthssix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018.

STEEL DYNAMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 6.7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate commodity margin risk, interest rate risk and occasionally to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk or interest rate fluctuation risk. The company routinely enters into forward exchange traded futures and option contracts to manage the price risk associated with nonferrous metals inventory as well as purchases and sales of nonferrous and ferrous metals (primarily aluminum and copper). The company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements.

Commodity Futures Contracts. If the company is “long” on futures contracts, it means the company has more futures contracts purchased than futures contracts sold for the underlying commodity. If the company is “short” on a futures contract, it means the company has more futures contracts sold than futures contracts purchased for the underlying commodity. The following summarizes the company’s futures contract commitments as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017:2019:

Note 7.8. Fair Value Measurements

FASB accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:

·

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

·

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

·

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains some predictive statements about future events, including statements related to conditions in the steel and metallic scrap markets, Steel Dynamics’ revenues, costs of purchased materials, future profitability and earnings, and the operation of new or existing facilities. These statements, which we generally precede or accompany by such typical conditional words as "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "seek," "project" or "expect," or by the words "may," "will," or "should," are intended to be made as “forward-looking,” subject to many risks and uncertainties, within the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements speak only as of this date and are based upon information and assumptions, which we consider reasonable as of this date, concerning our businesses and the environments in which they operate. Such predictive statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements. Some factors that could cause such forward-looking statements to turn out differently than anticipated include: (1) the effects of uncertain economic conditions; (2) cyclical and changing industrial demand; (3) changes in conditions in any of the steel or scrap-consuming sectors of the economy which affect demand for our products, including the strength of the non-residential and residential construction, automotive, manufacturing, appliance, pipe and tube, and other steel-consuming industries; (4) fluctuations in the cost of key raw materials and supplies (including steel scrap, iron units, zinc, graphite electrodes, and energy costs) and our ability to pass on any cost increases; (5) the impact of domestic and foreign import price competition; (6) unanticipated difficulties in integrating or starting up new or acquired businesses;businesses or assets; (7) risks and uncertainties involving product and/or technology development; and (8) occurrences of unexpected plant outages or equipment failures.

More specifically, we refer you to our more detailed explanation of these and other factors and risks that may cause such predictive statements to turn out differently,, as set forth under the headings Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the headings Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factorsfor the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, or in other reports which we from time to time file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are available publicly on the Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov, and on our website, www.steeldynamics.com under “Investors – SEC Filings.”

Description of the Business

We are one of the largest domestic steel producers and metal recyclers in the United States based on current estimated steelmaking and coating capacity of 11approximately 13 million tons and actual metals recycling volumes. TheOur primary source of revenues areis from the manufacture and sale of steel products, processing and sale of recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals, and fabrication and sale of steel joists and deck products. We have three reportable segments: steel operations, metals recycling operations, and steel fabrication operations.

Operating Statement Classifications

Net Sales. Net sales from our operations are a factor of volumes shipped, product mix and related pricing. We charge premium prices for certain grades of steel, product dimensions, certain smaller volumes, and for value-added processing or coating of theour steel products. Except for the steel fabrication operations, we recognize revenues from sales and the allowance for estimated returns and claims from these sales at the point in time the titlecontrol of the product transfers to the customer, upon shipment. Provision is made for estimated product returns and customer claims based on historical experience. If the historical data used in the estimates does not reflect future returns and claims trends, additional provision may be necessary.shipment or delivery. Our steel fabrication operations recognizesrecognize revenues from construction contracts utilizing a percentage of completion methodologyover time based on steelcompleted fabricated tons used on completed units to date as a percentage of estimated total steel tons required for each contract.

Costs of Goods Sold. Our costs of goods sold represent all direct and indirect costs associated with the manufacture of our products. The principal elements of these costs are scrap and scrap substitutes (which represent the most significant single component of our consolidated costs of goods sold), steel substrate, direct and indirect labor and related benefits, alloys, zinc, transportation and freight, repairs and maintenance, utilities such as electricity and natural gas, and depreciation.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all costs associated with our sales, finance and accounting, and administrative departments. These costs include, among other items, labor and related benefits, professional services, insurance premiums, and property taxes, company-widetaxes. Company-wide profit sharing and amortization of intangible assets.assets are each separately presented in the statement of income.

Interest Expense, net of Capitalized Interest. Interest expense consists of interest associated with our senior credit facilities and other debt net of interest costs that are required to be capitalized during the construction period of certain capital investment projects.

Other Expense (Income), net. Other income consists of interest income earned on our temporary cash deposits and short-term investments; any other non-operating income activity, including income from non-consolidated investments accounted for under the equity method. Other expense consists of any non-operating costs, such as certain acquisition and financing expenses.

Acquisition of United Steel Supply, LLC

On March 1, 2019, we purchased 75% of the equity interest of United Steel Supply, LLC (USS) for cash consideration of $93.4 million, subject to customary actual working capital purchase price adjustments. Additionally, we have an option to purchase, and the sellers have the option to require us to purchase, the remaining 25% equity interest of USS in the future. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, USS is a leading distributor of painted Galvalume® flat roll steel used for roofing and siding applications, with distribution centers strategically located in Mississippi, Indiana, Arkansas, and Oregon. USS provides us a new, complementary distribution channel and connects us to a rapidly growing industry segment with customers that do not traditionally purchase steel directly from a steel producer. USS’s operating results from and after March 1, 2019, are reflected in our financial statements in the steel operations reporting segment.

Results Overview

Our consolidated results for the second quarter of 2019 were constrained by a challenging steel pricing environment, as well as sharply falling scrap prices. While underlying domestic steel demand remained intact, customers were hesitant to place orders in a falling price environment, resulting in inventory destocking, in conjunction with weakening scrap prices. Likewise, our metals recycling operations experienced decreased operating income in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018, largely due to this scrap pricing environment and resulting slower scrap flows. The non-residential construction market remained strong, with increased average selling prices outpacing higher steel input costs in our steel fabrication segment.

Consolidated operating income decreased $12.8$216.9 million, or 5%43%, to $271.0$285.0 million for the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2019, compared to the thirdrecord levels in the second quarter 2016. Third2018. Second quarter 20172019 net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. decreased $4.1$168.1 million, or 3%46%, to $153.3$194.3 million, compared to the thirdsecond quarter 2016.2018, consistent with the decreased operating income.

Consolidated operating income increased $199.0decreased $248.4 million, or 30%, to $870.9$576.9 million for the first nine monthshalf of 2017,2019, compared to $671.9 million forthe record levels in the first nine monthshalf of 2016.2018. First nine months 2017half 2019 net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. increased $145.9decreased $191.4 million, or 40%32%, to $508.0$398.6 million, compared to the first nine monthshalf of 2016.2018, consistent with the decreased operating income.

Our consolidated results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 benefited from continued strong demand primarily for our sheet and special-bar-quality steel products coupled with continued low customer inventory levels. However, increased import levels continued hindering the ability of domestic steel prices to keep pace with raw material costs. Decreased scrap volumes for our metals recycling operations were offset by improved pricing and ferrous metal spreads and reduced operating expenses, resulting in significantly increased operating income during the 2017 third quarter and year-to-date periods compared to the same periods in 2016. The non-residential construction market remained strong, resulting in record quarterly shipments for our steel fabrication operations for the third straight quarter.

Segment Results 20172019 vs. 20162018

Overall domestic steel demand remained strong, but elevated levels of steel imports persistedsteady during the second quarter hinderingof 2019, with continued strength in the ability for domesticautomotive, energy and other industrial sectors. However, a challenging steel pricing environment, due to customer inventory destocking in conjunction with weakening scrap prices, led to keep pace with raw material costs.decreasing steel selling prices during the first quarter, and more so the second quarter, of 2019. Steel operations segment shipments increased 7%decreased 4% in the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2019, as compared to the same period in 2016, driven by improved flat roll and engineered bar shipments. Demand from the construction sector continues to improve, and energy has shown a continued positive demand trend. Demand has also improved for heavy off-road equipment and more general industrial manufacturing. Conversely, demand from the domestic automotive sectors has softened somewhat, but still remains near historically high levels. Our steel mill utilization rate averaged 92% for the third quarter 2017, as compared to 85% in the third quarter 2016. Sheet steel average selling prices increased 4% in the third quarter 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, while long products rose 8%.2018. Net sales for the steel operations increased 14%decreased 10% in the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2019 when compared to the same period in 2016,2018, due to an increase of $39 per ton, or 5%,decreases in averageoverall steel selling prices, combined with a 7%  increaseparticularly in the sheet products, and decreased steel operationsmill shipments. Net sales for the steel operations increased 23%decreased 1% in the first nine monthshalf of 2017,2019 when compared to the same period in 2016,2018, due to a 4% increase in steel operations segment shipments combined with an increase of $118 per ton, or 18%,decreases in average steel selling prices. The increase inprices, largely offset by the additional sales at our acquired Heartland Flat Roll Division (June 2018) and USS (March 2019) operations, which account for approximately 7% of steel segment shipments and pricing for the first nine months of 2017 was the result of much stronger markets in the first and third quarters 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016.half of 2019.

Metallic raw materials used in our electric arc furnaces represent our single most significant steel manufacturing cost, generally comprising approximately 60%50 to 60 percent of our steel mill operations’ manufacturing costs, excluding the operations of The Techs and Vulcan, which purchase, rather than produce, the steel they further process.costs. Our metallic raw material cost per net ton consumed in our steel operations increased $55,decreased $32, or 22%9%, in the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2019, compared to the same period in 2016,2018, consistent with overall increaseddecreased domestic scrap pricing.pricing. In the first nine monthshalf of 2017,2019, our metallic raw material cost per net ton consumed increased $70,decreased $7, or 32%,2% compared to the same period in 2016.2018.

Operating income for the steel operations decreased 10%, to $276.5 million, in the third quarter 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, due toAs a 3% decrease inresult of average selling prices decreasing more than scrap costs, metal spread (which we define as the difference between average steel mill selling prices and the cost of ferrous scrap consumed) more than offsetting increasedconsumed in our steel shipments. Operatingmills) decreased 9% in the second quarter 2019 compared to the second quarter 2018. Due to this metal spread contraction, most notably in sheet steel, operating income for the first nine months 2017 increased 26%steel operations decreased 45%, to $895.0$291.4 million, in the second quarter 2019, compared to the record levels in the same period in 2018. First half 2019 operating income decreased 31%, to $600.5 million, compared to the first nine monthshalf of 2016,2018 record levels, again due to an  11%  expansion ofdecreased metal spreads and steel segment operations metal spread, coupled with a 4% increase in steelmill shipments.

Metals Recycling Operations Segment

Metals Recycling Operations Segment.  Metals recycling operations consists solely of OmniSource and includes both ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal processing, transportation, marketing, brokerage, and consultingbrokerage services, strategically located primarily in close proximity to our steel mills and other end-user scrap consumers throughout the eastern half of the United States. In addition, OmniSource designs, installs, and manages customized scrap management programs for industrial manufacturing companies at hundreds of locations throughout North America. Our steel mills utilize a large portion (61% - 63%(ranging from 64% to 66% for the periods presented) of the ferrous scrap sold by OmniSource as raw material in our steelmaking operations, and the remainder is sold to other consumers, such as other steel manufacturers and foundries. Our metals recycling operations accounted for 14%12% and 15%14% of our consolidated external net sales during the thirdsecond quarter and first half of 20172019 and 2016, respectively, and 15% for each of the first nine months of 2017 and 2016.2018, respectively.

In September 2017, we issued $350.0 million of 4.125% senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), the proceeds of which, along with available cash, were used to fund the September 2017 tender to purchase at a redemption price of 103.563%, $182.9 million principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase, of our 6.375% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), and the October 2017 call and repayment at a redemption price of 103.188% of the $167.1 million remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repayment. The $167.1 remaining outstanding principal amount is included in current maturities of long-term debt in our September 30, 2017, balance sheet.

2018, respectively.

Our November 2014 senior secured credit facility (Facility), which provides a $1.2 billion Revolver, matures November 2019.in June 2023. Subject to certain conditions, we have the opportunity to increase the Revolver size by at least $750.0 million. The Facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries; and is secured by substantially all of our and our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ receivables and inventories, and by pledges of all shares of our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ capital stock or other equity interests, and intercompany debt held by us as collateral. The Revolver is available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Facility contains financial covenants and other covenants pertaining to our ability (which may under certain circumstances be limited) to make capital expenditures; incur indebtedness; permit liens on property; enter into transactions with affiliates; make restricted payments or investments; enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations; conduct asset sales; pay dividends or distributions, or enter into other specified transactions and activities. Our ability to borrow funds within the terms of the Revolver is dependent upon our continued compliance with the financial and other covenants. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had $1.2 billion of availability on the Revolver, $11.9 million of outstanding letters of credit and other obligations which reduce availability, and there were no borrowings outstanding.

The financial covenants under our Facility state that we must maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50:1.00. Our interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing our last-twelve-months (LTM) consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other non-cash transactions as allowed in the Facility) by our LTM gross interest expense, less amortization of financing fees. In addition, a net debt (as defined in the Facility) to LTM consolidated LTM adjusted EBITDA (net debt leverage ratio) of not more than 5.00:1.00 must be maintained. If the net debt leverage ratio exceeds 3.50:1:00 at any time, our ability to make certain payments as defined in the Facility (which includes cash dividends to stockholders and share purchases, among other things), is limited. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, our interest coverage ratio and net debt leverage ratio were 10.22:14.80:1.00 and 1.49:0.98:1.00, respectively. We were, therefore, in compliance with these covenants at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and we anticipate we will continue to be in compliance during the next twelve months.  months.

Working Capital.We generated cash flow from operations of $547.6$543.0 million in the first nine monthshalf of 2017.2019. Operational working capital (representing amounts invested in trade receivables and inventories, less current liabilities other than income taxes payable and debt) increased $230.9$60.8 million, excluding the effect of acquired USS working capital, to $1.5$2.0 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017. Increases2019, due primarily to decreased accrued expenses, as our 2018 accrued profit sharing was paid in volumes, pricing and profitability resulted in increased accounts receivable, and related increases in inventory, which were only partially offset by related increases in accounts payablethe first quarter of 2019.

Capital Investments.During the first nine monthshalf of 2017,2019, we invested $127.7$139.6 million in property, plant and equipment, primarily within our steel operations segment, compared with $123.2$105.8 million invested during the same period in 2016.2018.

Cash Dividends.As a reflection of continued confidence in our current and future cash flow generation ability and financial position, we increased our quarterly cash dividend by 11%28% to $0.155$0.2400 per share in the first quarter 20172019 (from $0.140$0.1875 per share in 2016)2018), resulting in declared cash dividends of $111.4$106.3 million during the first nine monthshalf of 2017,2019, compared to $102.3$88.3 million during the same period in 2016.2018. We paid cash dividends of $108.8$95.7 million and $101.6$81.1 million during the first nine monthshalf of 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively. Our board of directors, along with executive management, approves the payment of dividends on a quarterly basis. The determination to pay cash dividends in the future is at the discretion of our board of directors, after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated cash needs and growth plans. In addition, the terms of our Facility and the indentures relating to our senior notes may restrict the amount of cash dividends we can pay.pay.

Other.In 2016, theAugust 2018, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $450$750 million of our common stock. Under the share repurchase program, purchases will take place, as and when, we determine in open market or private transactions made based upon the market price of our common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities or growth projects, our cash flows from operations, and general economic conditions. The share repurchase program does not require us to acquire any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by us at any time. We acquired 7.03.2 million shares of our common stock for $237.2$93.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 pursuant to this program. We acquired 5.5 million shares of our common stock for $177.4 million in the first nine monthshalf of 2017 pursuant2019, leaving $221.7 million remaining available to thispurchase under the program. See Part II, Other Information, Item 2 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds for additional information.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will depend upon general economic, financial and business conditions, along with competition, legislation and regulatory factors that are largely beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure that our operating results, cash flows, access to credit markets and capital resources will be sufficient for repayment of our indebtedness in the future. We believe that based upon current levels of operations

and anticipated growth, cash flows from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including if necessary borrowings under our Revolver through its term, will be adequate for the next twelve months for making required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, funding working capital requirements, and anticipated capital expenditures. expenditures.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the market risk and price fluctuations related to the sale of our products and to the purchase of raw materials used in our operations, such as metallic raw materials, electricity, natural gas and its transportation services, fuel, air products, zinc, and zinc.electrodes. Our risk strategy associated with product sales has generally been to obtain competitive prices for our products and to allow operating results to reflect market price movements dictated by supply and demand.demand.

Our risk strategy associated with the purchase of raw materials utilized within our operations has generally been to make some commitments with suppliers relating to future expected requirements for some commodities such as electricity, natural gas and its transportation services, fuel, air products, zinc, and zinc.electrodes. Certain of these commitments contain provisions which require us to “take or pay” for specified quantities without regard to actual usage for periods of up to 45 years for physical commodity requirements and commodity transportation requirements, and for up to 1213 years for air products. We utilized such “take or pay” requirements during the past three years under these contracts, except for certain air products at our idle Minnesota ironmaking operations which were idled in May 2015.operations. We believe that production requirements will be such that consumption of the products or services purchased under these commitments will occur in the normal production process, other than certain air products related to our Minnesota ironmaking operations during the idle period. We also purchase electricity consumed at our Butler Flat Roll Division pursuant to a contract which extends through December 2017. The contract designates 160 hours annually as “interruptible service” and2020, which establishes an agreed fixed-rate energy charge per Mill/kWh consumed for each year through the expiration of the agreement.

In our metals recycling operations, weWe have certain fixed price contracts with various customers and suppliers for future delivery of nonferrous metals. Our risk strategy has been to enter into base metal financial contracts with the goal to protect the profit margin, within certain parameters, that was contemplated when we entered into the transaction with the customer or vendor. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had a cumulative unrealized gainloss associated with these financial contracts of $3.3 million,$220,000, substantially all of which have a settlement date within the next twelve months. We believe the customer contracts associated with the financial contracts will be fully consummated.
