Because the business of buying and selling zinc alloys
is not without risk, Eastern Alloys manages a formal price-risk management
facility available to every Eastern Alloys customer. The goals of a
price-risk management strategy are to identify and manage exposure to risks
associated with the variability and volatility of the underlying zinc price,
over time. Corresponding objectives include protecting selling price and/or
margin. In some cases, a price-risk management program can contribute toward
long-range market share objectives.
