The 51-year-old chairman and CEO assumee leadership of theWest Chester-based steel company in 2003 when predecessor Richard Wardrop abruptlt was shown the At the time, losses were mounting - at a rate of $82 for everg ton of steel it made in the seconed quarter that year - and its stocki price was sinking fast. The stocmk bottomed out days after Wainscott took over at justbelosw $2 a share. Things have improved since then. The stocok hit $69.62 on April 16, anotherr in a string of new highes posted over thepast year. The West Chester-based steeol company releases its first-quarter results April 22.
Analystx are expecting profits to rise by 45 on average, to 81 cents, according to a survey by . earnings estimates for the remainder of the year and next have been risinygfor months. Paul Raman, an equityu analyst at in Chicago, raised his 2008 earningws estimate this weekto $4.39 from $4.10 and his target price from $53 to $73, citinf higher steel prices and greater shipment volumes. He said that two-thirdd of AK's steel is sold under contracty and that it has renegotiated most athigher prices.
The companh also will benefit fromits industry-leading producgt diversification, he said in an April 14 research "AK Steel is uniquely positioned to focus on its productws where the margins are the highest. Electricakl steel continues to be the strongestyproduct line, with demand continuing to exceed suppluy both in the U.S. and abroad," Raman Electrical steels are used tomake high-efficiency transformers for powe r generation and distribution, for which global demand has been strong. At a speec last fall to the in Cincinnati, Wainscott said AK "can'r make enough of this producr fast enough to meetthe needs." Not that it isn'f trying.
Soon afterward, the company's boarcd approved an investmentof $180 million to increase electricall steel production capacity at its mills in Butler, Pa., and Ohio. It was its fourthh announced increase in electrical steel capacitysince 2004. Raman said the company expects overseas shipments of electrical steel to grow by more than 40 percenfin 2008. Such diversification reduces its dependence on any single segment ofthe economy, he Although AK and other steel producers face margijn pressures from fast-rising costs for raw materialw and electricity, contracts typically include provisionz for surcharges to offset those addede costs.
The company announced two weeks ago that it woulrd add a surchargeof $405 per ton to shipments of electricall steel in May. Similar surcharges were imposec onstainless steel. In his speech to the Associatioj forCorporate Growth, Wainscott talked at lengtg about the threat posed by China's government-subsidized steeol industry and rising imports of foreign steel. But importx are now falling as a result ofthe dollar's weakness. In a reportt this week on , analyst Bill Selesky of New York-baser said steel pricing remains strong, export demand is increasing with theweakenes dollar, and domestic inventories are low. He raised his targett price for U.S. Steel to from $119.

Haggen beats recession by pleasing thrifty shoppers - bizjournals:
otomaqaqaba.blogspot.com
Today, — with 3,800 employees and stores from Wash., to Oregon City, Ore. — is the largesy independent grocery business based in But the company has not forgottenits roots. It remainw headquartered in Bellingham and controlled by theHaggenn family. Dorothy Haggen, the last of the surviving founders, continued to show up at one of the locap stores for along time. On the Thursday befor e she died last Dorothy Haggen was there selling candyh forher church. Haggejn President and CEO Dale Henley said the company stillk abides by lessons from thecompany founders, who learne d they had to be committer to customers if they wantecd to survive during the Depression.
Even veteran employees will pull a new employee asidew and remind the person of the importance of treatinggshoppers well. “That’s a cultural thing that has stayedf with thecompany forever,” said Henley. “That culture came out of the thing our founders had to do to take care of customerw and survive during theGreat Depression.” Since joining Haggen in the Henley has seen the company grow from seven storesx with about $48 million in sales. Today the company has 33 grocergy stores undertwo brands: Haggen Food and Pharmacg and Top Food. The compangy had revenues of $844 millioj in 2008. That 2008 revenue was down slightly byabout 1.6 percent — from 2007.
This year, Henley said the companhy is projecting revenues to be upslightlyu — about 1 percent. Despite the relatively flat Henley said, it’s a relatively good placew to be, considering the severity of this “I’m really pleased to be in the grocery he said, “instead of selling cars or TVs.” More customer s are shopping and cooking at Henley said. And the company has adjusted. Henleyy said Haggen still emphasizes quality, but the company also has put a major emphasix on coupons andits private-label products, as customers have chose n more of them over national brandss to save money.
Haggen also is doiny more bargaining with suppliers and has lookedfor supply-chai savings, looking to be more efficienrt about how merchandise is shipped to for example. “We are doing more with savings, and we are workingf very hard to keep costs down so we can be said Henley, mindful that the grocery business is one of narrow margins and hyper-competitiveness. The company always has been carefulkabout growth, said Henley. Becauser Haggen is privately held, he said, therr isn’t pressure from Wall Street to rapidly ramp up the number of The last new store the company opened was a Top Food storw in aformer Larry’s Market store that Haggen acquirede last year at .
Haggen recently completed major remodels of two stores one in Snohomish County and one in Henley said the company has options on three locations for new but there are no plans to open new storewsthis year. “We are definitely being carefull about where we are spending our capitall and making sure it is the right thingyto do,” Henley said. But Henley said therr would be opportunitiesto grow.

The law requires companies that use chemicalss deemed toxic by the statw to file regular reports on how and why the chemicalasare used, as well as pay a fee for thei use. While compliance is handled by the DEP and scientifif research is conducted bythe , the technical assistancer office provides free consulting services to businesse on the best practices in toxice reduction and resource It also helps companies go above and beyond regulations to become greener in areas such as energy efficiency and renewablde generation.

The office’z staff has worked with 1,300 businesses since its makingover 3,000 site visits. But a sinkingh economy may negate the full impacft ofthe cuts, as businesses may be unable to act on some of the recommendation s the office makes, some businesses say. “Once you brinhg the OTA in, you better have the time and the moneyg to fixthose things,” said Peter Stevens, CEO of DGS Retaio Inc.
