How does the company protect itself from fluctuating energy costs?

Extracting and processing basic chemicals from raw materials typically requires large amounts of energy, usually in the form of heat. Many chemicals also use natural gas or petroleum as a raw material. Since energy costs can account for as much as...

    Sample Questions & Answers

    How have fluctuating retail gas prices the past six months affected the company?

    Extended periods of high oil prices encourage the development of alternative fuels through increased R&D investment and capital outlays to build new production facilities. Despite a drop in oil prices during the recession of the late 2000s, experts...

     

    How dependent on government support is the company?

    The biofuel industry depends on government support to establish itself and grow. Government regulations mandate the use of specific amounts of biofuels as blends of fuel, and the EPA will impose quotas on refiners and importers for biofuel use. In...

      Sample Questions & Answers

      How does the company forecast demand for its services?

      By definition, farm support services depend heavily on the success of crop and livestock farms. Rising input and labor costs may actually help some service providers, as it may make sense for a farm to outsource certain labor- or capital-intensive...

       

      How seasonal are the company's hiring needs and cash flow?

      Many farm services depend on a few critical weeks (planting and post-harvest) for the majority of profits. Employment levels can swing considerably depending on food demand, farm worker wages, and growing conditions. Because of the highly seasonal...

        Sample Questions & Answers

        How critical is government price support to the company's operations?

        The sugar manufacturing industry depends on price supports from the federal government, which keeps the US sugar price about twice as high as the world price. Without price supports, many US producers couldn't continue in business.

         

        How has the company's business been affected by increasing use of corn syrup in food manufacture?

        High fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is cheaper than sugar, has replaced sugar in numerous processed foods, notably sodas. While corn sweeteners have experienced market growth, demand for refined sugar has been relatively flat. Sugar refiners also...

              How does the mill manage highly volatile grain prices?

              Grain prices paid by milling companies fluctuate considerably from year to year, due in large part to inconsistencies in wheat supply and demand. Wheat supplies are subject to weather, and poor global harvests can drive up demand for US exports.

               

              How has the company been challenged in responding to consumer diet trends?

              Wheat flour accounts for about half of total industry revenue, and consumers can be fickle about their overall wheat intake. Grain mills depend highly on consumer interest in eating wheat-based products like bread, pasta, and cereal. Low-carbohydrate...

                Competitive Landscape Brief

                Demand is driven by construction spending and agricultural spending on fertilizers. Large companies have some economies of scale in purchasing and administrative systems, and have the production volume to supply large construction projects, such as new highways. Small companies typically own just one mine and compete in a local market based on superior customer service. Imports of nonmetallic minerals account for about 5 percent of the US market. Major sources of imports include Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq, and Mexico. US exports, mainly to Canada, Japan, China, Mexico, and Germany, represent about 5 percent of domestic production.
