Portions of the Annual Report to Shareholders of Friedman
Industries, Incorporated for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1995 - Part II.
Proxy Statement for the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders -
Part III.
PART I
Item 1. Business
Friedman Industries, Incorporated (the "Company"), a Texas
corporation incorporated in 1965, is in the steel processing and distribution
business. The Company has two product groups: coil processing (steel sheet
and plate) and tubular products. In fiscal 1994, the Company discontinued the
operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Fasteners Corporation, which
was engaged in the marketing of fastener products.
Significant financial information relating to the Company's
product and service groups for the last three years is contained in Note 8 of
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on page 11 of the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1995, which is incorporated herein by reference elsewhere in this report.
Coil Processing
The Company purchases domestic and foreign hot-rolled steel
coils, processes the coils into steel sheet and plate and sells these products
on a wholesale, rapid-delivery basis in competition with steel mills, importers
and steel service centers. The Company also processes customer-owned coils on
a fee basis. The Company has coil processing plants located at Lone Star,
Texas, Houston, Texas and Hickman, Arkansas. At each plant the steel coils are
processed through a cut-to-length line which levels the steel and cuts it to
prescribed lengths. At the Houston facility, the steel is passed through a
2-Hi rolling mill which, in a cold process, improves surface quality and
imparts a higher degree of flatness. The Company's Lone Star facility operates
a coil-to-coil, 2-Hi rolling mill, which is designed to uncoil material, pass
the material through the rolling mill and recoil the material so that it may be
stored in coil form. The Company's processing machinery is heavy, mill-type
equipment capable of processing steel coils weighing up to 25 tons. Coils are
processed to the specifications required for a particular order. Shipments are
made via unaffiliated truckers or by rail and, in times of normal supply and
market conditions, can generally be made within 48 hours of receipt of the
customer's order.
At its Lone Star facility, the Company receives hot-rolled steel
coils primarily from Lone Star Steel Company ("LSS"), which is located
approximately four miles from the Company's plant. The Lone Star plant
receives its supply of steel from LSS and other suppliers at competitive prices
determined at the time of purchase. During fiscal 1995 and 1994, the Company
received approximately 80% and 74%, respectively, of its tonnage for the Lone
Star facility from LSS and was able to purchase sufficient tonnage at
competitive prices from other suppliers to meet the requirements of this
facility. Loss of LSS as a source of coil supply could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business.
At its Houston facility, the Company warehouses and processes
hot-rolled steel coils, which are generally purchased on the open market at
competitive prices from importers, trading companies and domestic steel mills.
The Houston facility has primarily relied on domestic steel mills as a
significant source of steel coils in recent years.
At the Company's Hickman facility, the Company warehouses and
processes steel coils which are purchased primarily from Nucor Steel Company
("NSC"). NSC is located approximately one-half mile from the Hickman facility.
Loss of NSC as a source of coil supply could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business.
At the Lone Star facility, the Company maintains three
cut-to-length lines and a coil-to-coil 2-Hi rolling mill. This equipment is
capable of processing steel up to 84 inches wide and up
-2-
3
to one-half inch thick. At the Houston facility, the Company has a
cut-to-length line and a rolling mill that are capable of processing steel up
to 90 inches wide and up to one-half inch thick. The Hickman facility operates
a cut to length line which has 84 inch wide and one-half inch thick capacity.
Tubular Products
Through its Texas Tubular operation in Lone Star, Texas, the
Company purchases, markets, processes (e.g., sorting, end-beveling, threading,
etc.) and manufactures tubular products.
The Company processes its own tubular products and processes
pipe on a fee basis for one major customer, LSS. Pipe processing equipment
employed by this operation includes nine threading machines, six cutoff and
beveling machines, pipe handling equipment and other related machinery. This
machinery can process pipe up to 13-3/8 inches in outside diameter.
In May 1990, the Company purchased a pipe mill and related
equipment, which was installed at the Company's Texas Tubular operation, and,
in April 1991, began manufacturing pipe. The pipe mill is capable of producing
pipe from 2-3/8 inches to 8-5/8 inches in outside diameter. In March 1992, the
pipe mill was API-licensed to manufacture line and oil country pipe. The pipe
mill also manufactures pipe for structural and piling purposes that meets
recognized industry standards. The Company currently manufactures and sells
substantially all of its line and oil country pipe to LSS pursuant to orders
received from LSS, and in exchange therefor LSS sells to the Company pipe for
structural applications for some sizes of pipe that are beyond the capability
of the pipe mill.
In June 1990, the Company and LSS entered into an informal
arrangement for the supply of pipe to the tubular operation. The Company can
make no assurances, however, as to the amounts of pipe and steel coils that
will be available from LSS in the future or amounts of tubular products that it
will be able to process for LSS in the future. Loss of LSS as a source of
supply or as a customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business. A summary of tubular operations is provided in Note 8 of the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated herein by reference.
Marketing
The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of
total sales contributed by each group of steel products during each of the
Company's last three fiscal years:
Product Groups 1995 1994 1993
- - -------------- ---- ---- ----
Coil Processing 65% 61% 64%
Tubular Products 35% 39% 35%
Fastener Products -- -- 1%
Coil Processing (Steel Sheet and Plate). The Company's products and
processing services are sold to approximately 330 customers located primarily
in the midwestern, southwestern and southeastern sections of the United States.
The Company's coil processing products and services are sold principally to
steel distributors and to customers fabricating steel products such as storage
tanks, steel buildings, farm machinery and equipment, construction equipment,
transportation equipment, conveyors and other similar products. During each of
the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, four customers accounted
for approximately 25% of the Company's sales of these products. No sheet and
plate customer accounted for as much as 10% of the Company's total sales during
those years. Sales by the Company to any one industry did not exceed 40% of
total sales in fiscal 1995.
The Company sells substantially all of its steel coil products through
its own sales force. At March 31, 1995, the sales force consisted of a vice
president of sales and five inside salesmen. The vice president of sales
supervises the sales department and performs the duties of an inside salesman.
The inside sales force handles mostly telephone orders from customers.
Salesmen are paid on a salary and
-3-
4
commission basis with the rate of commission depending upon the tonnage shipped
to the salesman's customers in a particular month.
Shipments of particular products are made from the facility offering
the product desired. If the product is available at more than one facility,
other factors such as location of the customer, productive capacity of the
facility and activity of the facility enter into the decision regarding
shipments. The Company regularly contracts on a quarterly basis with many of
its larger customers to supply minimum quantities of steel.
Tubular Products. Tubular products are sold nationally to
approximately 240 customers. Sales of tubular products were made primarily to
steel and pipe distributors, to piling contractors and to LSS. Sales of pipe
to LSS accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's total sales in fiscal
1995.
The Company sells its tubular products through its own sales force,
which includes two inside salesmen and one manager. Salesmen are paid on a
salary and commission basis.
The Company processes its own tubular products and processes pipe for
one major customer, LSS, on a fee basis.
Employees
At March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 106 full-time
employees of whom eight were executive officers, seven were salespersons, nine
were administrative and clerical workers, 14 were supervisors and approximately
68 were skilled and semi-skilled operators.
Competition
The Company is normally engaged in a non-seasonal, highly competitive
business. The Company competes with steel mills, importers and steel service
centers. The steel industry, in general, is characterized by a small number of
extremely large companies dominating the bulk of the market and a large number
of relatively small companies, such as the Company, competing for a limited
share of such market. The large companies and many of the small companies
possess resources substantially greater than those of the Company.
In the opinion of management, the competitive position of the Company
in times of normal supply and market conditions is dependent upon its ability
to offer steel products at prices competitive with or below those of other
steel suppliers, as well as its ability to provide products to customer
specifications on a rapid delivery basis.
