The Company generally does not require any collateral with respect to its receivables due under long-term, take-or-pay contracts. Receivables due from Cliffs Steel and U.S. Steel were approximately $35.7 million and $7.9 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively, and $33.5 million and $7.1 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively. These balances comprised approximately 50 percent and 39 percent of the Company's receivables balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, the Company experiences concentrations of credit risk in its receivables with these customers, which may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions affecting the steel industry.
