    Key Highlights for First Quarter 2025, Compared to First Quarter 2024

    • Siding net sales increased by $41 million (11%) to $402 million
    • Oriented Strand Board (OSB) net sales decreased by $46 million to $267 million

    (1)

    This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Use of Non-GAAP Information," "Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Income, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS" below.

    Capital Allocation Update

    • Invested $64 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter
    • Paid $61 million to repurchase 0.6 million of LP's common shares during the first quarter, leaving 70 million common shares outstanding and $177 million remaining under the pre-existing share repurchase authorizations as of March 31, 2025
    • Paid $20 million in cash dividends during the first quarter
    • Announces a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share. The dividend will be payable June 3, 2025 to stockholders of record as of May 20, 2025.
    • Total liquidity of $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2025

    "LP's Siding business delivered 11% revenue growth and margin expansion in the first quarter," said LP Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer Brad Southern. "Despite tariff uncertainty and a slow start to the building season, LP's Siding order file is on pace for a record second quarter, driven by ExpertFinish growth, share gains in new residential construction, and a recovering shed market."

    Outlook

    The Company is providing financial guidance for the second quarter of 2025 and full year 2025 as set forth in the table below. Guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under "Forward-Looking Statements."

     

    Second Quarter 2025

     

    Full Year 2025

    Siding Net Sales Year-Over-Year Growth

    $445 million to $455 million (9-10% growth)

     

    ~$1.7B (>9% growth)

    Siding Adjusted EBITDA(2)

    $110-120M (~26% margin3)

     

    $425-435M (>25% margin3)

    OSB Adjusted EBITDA(2)(4)

    $110 million to $120 million

    Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(2)(4)(5)

    $125 million to $145 million

     

    $535 million to $555 million

    Capital Expenditures(6)

     

     

    ~$410 million

    (2)

    This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliation of Siding Adjusted EBITDA, OSB Adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts. Our inability to reconcile these measures results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliation, such as business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted U.S. GAAP measures. The Company expects that these adjustments may potentially have a significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

    (3)

    This is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

    (4)

    The second quarter and full year OSB EBITDA are based on the assumption that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on May 2, 2025 (this is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast).

    (5)

    For purposes of calculating the second quarter of 2025 and full year 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, LP South America Adjusted EBITDA fully offsets Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA.

    (6)

    Capital expenditures related to strategic growth and sustaining maintenance projects are expected to be approximately $200 million and $210 million, respectively, for full year 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

    Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 remained flat at $724 million. Siding revenue increased by $41 million (or 11%), due to 9% higher volumes and 2% higher prices. OSB revenue decreased by $46 million (or 15%), driven by 11% lower prices and 4% lower volumes.

    Net income decreased year-over-year by $17 million to $91 million ($1.30 per diluted share). The decrease primarily reflects a $20 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA includes $39 million due to lower OSB selling prices and volumes, partially offset by a $23 million impact from higher Siding net sales.

    Segment Results

    Siding

    The Siding segment serves diverse end markets with a broad product portfolio of engineered wood siding, trim, soffit, and fascia, including LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding, LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding, and LP® Outdoor Building Solutions® (collectively referred to as Siding Solutions).

    Strong order files and price realization resulted in higher net sales versus prior year. ExpertFinish products accounted for 10% of volume and 15% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025, contributing to this favorable mix. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million reflects the impacts of the net sales increase offset by investments in sales and marketing and $2 million of tariff impact.

    OSB

    The OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products, including the innovative value-added OSB product portfolio known as LP® Structural Solutions (which includes LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, LP NovaCore® Thermal Insulated Sheathing, LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing, and LP® TopNotch® 350 Durable Sub-Flooring).

    Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased year-over-year by $36 million, primarily reflecting the impact of lower OSB prices and volumes.

    LPSA

    The LPSA segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel and Siding Solutions products in South America and certain export markets. This segment also sells and distributes a variety of companion products to support the region's transition to wood frame construction.

We urge you to consider all of the risks, uncertainties, and factors identified above or discussed in such reports carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements in this news release. We cannot assure you that the results reflected in or implied by any forward-looking statement will be realized or even if substantially realized, that those results will have the forecasted or expected consequences and effects for or on our operations or financial performance. The forward-looking statements made today are as of the date of this news release. Except as required by law, LP undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events, or circumstances.

    Use of Non-GAAP Information

    In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. In this press release, we disclose net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, other non-operating items, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and net income attributed to noncontrolling interest, as Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose net income excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and net income attributed to noncontrolling interest, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate, as Adjusted Income (Adjusted Income), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding (Adjusted Diluted EPS). We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, net income and net income per share of common stock - diluted, respectively, are presented below.

    Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income, and net income per share of common stock - diluted or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

    KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

    The following tables present summary data relating to: (i) housing starts within the United States, (ii) our sales volumes, and (iii) our Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) performance. We consider the following items to be key performance indicators for our business because LP's management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends in our industry, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe that the key performance indicators presented may provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing our core operating performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the financial measures that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.

    We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators reported by other companies.

    The following table sets forth housing starts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

    1 Actual U.S. housing starts data, in thousands, reported by the U.S. Census Bureau as published through April 17, 2025.

    We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB, and LPSA segments, which we define as the amount of our products sold within the applicable period measured in million square feet (MMSF) on a standard 3/8" thickness basis. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volume data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, sales volume data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

    The following table sets forth sales volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

    We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to monitor operational improvements. We use a best-in-class target across all LP sites that allows us to optimize capital investments, focus maintenance and reliability improvements, and improve overall equipment efficiency. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, OEE data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    OEE for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for each of our segments is listed below:
