United States Lime & Minerals (USLM) - Major Customers

USLM's SEC filings (Form 10-K) consistently state that **no single customer accounts for more than 10% of its consolidated revenues** for recent fiscal years.

These key customer categories (industries) include:

AI Analysis | Feedback

United States Lime & Minerals (USLM) faces several key risks to its business operations:
  1. Market Dependence and Cyclicality: The company's revenue is heavily reliant on the demand for lime and limestone products, which are sensitive to general economic conditions and specific economic cycles within industries such as construction, steel manufacturing, and oil and gas services. Downturns in these sectors can lead to reduced demand for USLM's products. Additionally, a decrease in demand from coal-fired utility plants due to ongoing retirements of such facilities also poses a risk.
  2. Volatile Energy and Transportation Costs: United States Lime & Minerals' operations are significantly impacted by fluctuations in the prices of critical energy sources, including coal, petroleum coke, diesel, and natural gas, as well as transportation costs. The company's ability to fully offset these increased costs by passing them on to customers or through hedging activities may be limited, potentially affecting profitability.
  3. Regulatory and Environmental Changes: The company is exposed to risks associated with evolving environmental laws and regulations. Changes in these regulations could result in increased compliance costs, necessitate operational adjustments, and potentially impact the company's ability to operate its facilities, thereby affecting its financial performance.
