Our business, financial condition and results of operations are heavily impacted by varying metals prices.
Our operating results could be negatively affected during economic downturns because the demand for our products is cyclical.
We rely on metal suppliers in our business and purchase a significant amount of metal from a limited number of suppliers. Termination of one or more of our relationships with any of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations because we may be unable to obtain metal from other sources in a timely manner or at all.
Intense competition among many competitors could adversely affect our profitability.
A failure to retain our key employees could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to litigation that could strain our resources and distract management.
Environmental cost could decrease our net cash flow and adversely affect our profitability.
Adverse developments in our relationship with our unionized employees could adversely affect our business.
Metals USA s predecessor company emerged from Chapter 11 Reorganization in 2002 and may not be able to achieve profitability on a consistent basis.
Our historical financial information is not comparable to our current financial condition and results of operations because of our use of fresh start accounting in 2002 and purchase accounting in connection with the Merger and the 2006 Acquisitions.
We may not successfully implement our acquisition strategy, and acquisitions that we pursue may present unforeseen integration obstacles and costs, increase our leverage and negatively impact our performance.
We are controlled by Apollo V and its affiliates, and their interests as equity holders may conflict with yours.
