our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as well as the
following: the achievement of closing conditions with respect to
the Notes Offering; changes in economic conditions which affect
demand for our products or construction activity generally, and the
impact of such changes on the highly cyclical steel industry; rapid
and significant changes in the price of metals, potentially
impairing our inventory values due to declines in commodity prices
or reducing the profitability of our downstream contracts due to
rising commodity pricing; impacts from COVID-19 on the economy,
demand for our products, global supply chain and on our operations,
including the responses of governmental authorities to contain
COVID-19 and the impact of various COVID-19 vaccines; excess
capacity in our industry, particularly in China, and product availability from competing
steel mills and other steel suppliers including import quantities
and pricing; compliance with and changes in existing and future
laws, regulations, and other legal requirements and judicial
decisions that govern our business, including increased
environmental regulations associated with climate change and
greenhouse gas emissions; involvement in various environmental
matters that may result in fines, penalties or judgments; evolving
remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party
contributions, the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process
and other factors that may impact amounts accrued for environmental
liabilities; potential limitations in our or our customers'
abilities to access credit and non-compliance of their contractual
obligations, including payment obligations; activity in
repurchasing shares of our common stock under our repurchase
program; financial covenants and restrictions on the operation of
our business contained in agreements governing our debt; our
ability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate
acquisitions and the effects that acquisitions may have on our
financial leverage; risks associated with acquisitions generally,
such as the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required
approvals under applicable antitrust legislation and other
regulatory and third party consents and approvals; operating and
startup risks, as well as market risks associated with the
commissioning of new projects could prevent us from realizing
anticipated benefits and could result in a loss of all or a
substantial part of our investments; lower than expected future
levels of revenues and higher than expected future costs; failure
or inability to implement growth strategies in a timely manner;
impact of goodwill impairment charges; impact of long-lived asset
impairment charges; currency fluctuations; global factors, such as
trade measures, military conflicts and political uncertainties,
including changes to current trade regulations, such as Section 232
trade tariffs and quotas, tax legislation and other regulations
which might adversely impact our business; availability and pricing
of electricity, electrodes and natural gas for mill operations;
ability to hire and retain key executives and other employees;
competition from other materials or from competitors that have a
lower cost structure or access to greater financial resources;
information technology interruptions and breaches in security;
ability to make necessary capital expenditures; availability and
pricing of raw materials and other items over which we exert little
influence, including scrap metal, energy and insurance; unexpected
equipment failures; losses or limited potential gains due to
