We are also exposed to the impact of utility price fluctuations related to unpredictable factors such as weather and various other
market conditions outside our control. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher prices is limited by the competitive
environment in which we operate. Therefore, from time to time, we enter into futures and option contracts to manage these fluctuations.
These contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments under the FASB authoritative guidance for derivatives and hedging.
