Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information in this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1, attached hereto, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On May 5, 2009 Louisiana - Pacific Corporation issued a press release announcing financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the attached press release discloses (1) continuing earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA from continuing operations”) and (2) income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long lived assets and other operating credits and charges, net each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Neither of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income from continuing operations or operating cash flows or any other GAAP financial measures.

We have EBITDA from continuing operations in the press release because we use it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. We use EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. It should be noted that companies calculate EBITDA differently and, therefore, as presented for us may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization which are necessary to operate our business or which we otherwise incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

We believe that income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long lived assets and other operating credits and charges, net is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings from continuing operations and that providing this measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to in the press release to our earnings for past and future periods. We believe that this measure is particularly useful where the amounts of the excluded items are not consistent between the periods presented. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets and other operating credits and charges, net has material limitation as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our business.

FOR RELEASE AT 8:00 A.M. (EST) TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2009

LP Reports First Quarter 2009 Results

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the first quarter of 2009, which included the following:

 

   

Total sales for the first quarter of $204.6 million were down 41 percent versus a year ago, primarily the result of dramatically reduced U.S. housing starts, which dropped 49 percent from first quarter 2008 levels, as weakness in home building continued.

 

   

A loss from continuing operations of $30.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009 which is an improvement of 34 percent over the first quarter of 2008.

 

   

EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter was an $18.5 million loss or a 58 percent improvement over the first quarter of 2008.

 

   

In very tough credit market conditions, LP completed its refinancings and realized $140.2 million in net cash in addition to $70.7 million in net tax refunds.

“The decline in home building and related activity continued during the first quarter of 2009, driven by the ongoing credit crisis and deteriorated global economic conditions.” said LP’s Chief Executive Officer Rick Frost. “By many measures, this was the lowest housing quarter in several decades.”

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, LP reported net sales of $204.6 million, down from $349.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter, the company reported an operating loss of $42.5 million as compared to a loss in the first quarter of 2008 of $85.7 million.


For the first quarter of 2009, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $30.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared to $45.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008.

ORIENTED STRAND BOARD (OSB) SEGMENT

LP’s OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products. LP is currently operating eight facilities and has indefinitely curtailed four other facilities due to market conditions. The OSB segment reported net sales for the first quarter of 2009 of $72.3 million, down 55 percent compared with $159.0 million of net sales in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $24.2 million – an improvement of 61 percent—compared with an operating loss of $62.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter, LP realized an improvement of $31 million in EBITDA for this segment as compared to the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008, sales volumes were down 59 percent with sales price increasing by 14 percent. Increase in sales price accounted for approximately an $8 million dollar improvement in both operating results and EBITDA.

Operating results reflected the favorable effects of continued actions taken to reduce raw material costs. Also, in the first quarter of 2009, LP realized reductions in the cost of petroleum-based products used in production and benefited from the weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to the first quarter of 2008.

“In 2009, we continued to take a number of significant steps to reduce the losses in our OSB business through market curtailments and cost reductions,” Frost explained. “Throughout this process, we remain committed to our safety and quality programs.”

SIDING SEGMENT

LP’s Siding segment consists of SmartSide siding as well as LP’s prefinished Canexel siding line. These products are used in new construction as well as in the repair and remodeling markets. The Siding segment reported net sales of $73.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, down 31 percent from $107.1 million in the year-ago first quarter. For the first quarter of 2009, the Siding segment reported an operating income of $2.1 million compared to $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter. For the first quarter, LP realized a slight improvement to $6.8 million in EBITDA for this segment as compared to the first quarter of 2008.

In the first quarter of 2009, sales were off across all regions due to significantly reduced housing starts partially offset by continued strength in the repair and remodel markets as well as increased market penetration. Consistent with actions taken in OSB, the Siding segment also cut production rates during the quarter to address inventory levels.

ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT (EWP)

The EWP segment is comprised of I-Joist (IJ), Laminated Veneer Lumber and Laminated Strand Lumber (LVL and LSL). These products are principally used in new construction. Given the significant decline in housing starts, this segment saw similar reductions in sales.


EWP segment sales in the first quarter of 2009 totaled $30.0 million, down 50 percent from $60.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating losses increased 14 percent to $9.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter, LP had a $2.0 million reduction in EBITDA for this segment as compared to the first quarter of 2008.

The lower operating results in the first quarter were driven by lower volumes, softening prices and costs associated with the mill that produces LSL.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

“The start of 2009 has proven to be very challenging for our businesses and while the level of activity for the remainder of the year is expected to increase, the rate is unclear. Our goal this year is to conserve cash and improve liquidity so that when this economic downturn subsides, we will be well positioned to compete,” Frost concluded.

LP is a premier supplier of building materials, delivering innovative, high-quality commodity and specialty products to its retail, wholesale, homebuilding and industrial customers.
