Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

At the Steel Dynamics annual meeting of shareholders on May 22, 2008, President and Chief Executive Officer Keith E. Busse, in his “Outlook for 2008,” estimated that, even with the nation facing the possibility of a moderate recession, but taking into account the company’s recent and proposed acquisitions, as well as stronger shipping volumes and higher steel and scrap selling values, Steel Dynamics’ revenues ought to be over $8 billion for the year.

 

Mr. Busse went on to state that, if the current domestic steel market conditions persist through 2008, with a low level of imports, increased exports, the continued weak dollar, a steady but not growing domestic demand for steel and continued strong steel selling values, he would maintain the company’s April earnings guidance of $0.80 to $0.90 per diluted share for the second quarter, but would increase the company’s current expectations for full-year 2008 earnings to a range of $3.00 to $3.25 per diluted share.
