FOR RELEASE AT 6 P.M. (ET) FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009

LP Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2008 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 27, 2009) – Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the fourth quarter of 2008, which included the following:

 

   

Total sales for the fourth quarter of $250.2 million were down 33 percent versus a year ago, primarily the result of dramatically reduced US housing starts, which dropped 34 percent from fourth quarter 2007 levels, due to weakness in home building. For the year, US housing starts dropped 31 percent while LP’s sales declined 19 percent.

 

   

A net loss from continuing operations of $339.4 million, or $3.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008, which includes $2.66 per diluted share of non-cash impairment charges associated with goodwill, $0.16 per diluted share associated with further valuation reductions in LP’s auction rate securities portfolio, $0.08 per diluted share of non-cash increases in certain settlement reserves and $0.05 per diluted share in restructuring charges associated with LP’s market related curtailments and right sizing initiatives.

 

   

Cash and investments at year-end was $215.1 million, down from the 2007 year-end balance of $746.3 million. The reduction reflects the $118.6 million write-down of auction rates securities, $125 million in debt repayments, about $55 million in legal settlement payments, $161.4 million spent on capital improvements and the purchase of LP’s Brazil investment, as well as cash used in operations.

“The decline in home building and related activity experienced throughout the first nine months of the year accelerated during the fourth quarter of 2008, driven by the ongoing credit crisis and deteriorating global economic conditions,” said LP’s Chief Executive Officer Rick Frost.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, LP reported net sales of $250.2 million, down from $376.6 million in 2007. For the fourth quarter, the company reported an operating loss of $366.2 million, which included $273.5 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges and $22.6 million of other operating charges and credits. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the company had an operating loss of $86.9 million, which included other operating credits and charges of $7.4 million and loss or impairment of long-lived assets of $3.2 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2008, LP reported a net loss from continuing operations of $339.4 million, or $3.30 per diluted share, as compared with net loss from continuing operations of $49.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2008 included non-cash impairment charges associated with goodwill of $2.66 per diluted share, other than temporary impairment of investments of $0.16 per diluted share and other operating credits and charges of $0.13 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 included other than temporary impairment of investments of $0.12 per diluted share and other operating charges and credits and other items of $0.06 per diluted share.

2008 RESULTS

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the company had net sales of $1,376.2 million, compared with net sales of $1,704.9 million in 2007. For the year, LP reported an operating loss of $643.6 million, including $273.5 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges and other operating charges and credits, including legal settlement charges, of $90.3 million. This compares with an operating loss of $266.5 million in 2007, which included $56.8 million of impairment charges on long-lived assets and a gain of $12.5 million in other operating charges and credits due principally to insurance settlements.

For 2008, the company had a net loss from continuing operations of $565.1 million, or $5.49 per diluted share, which included $2.66 per diluted share of goodwill impairment charges, $0.71 per diluted share of other than temporary impairment charges on auction rate securities and $0.59 per diluted share in other operating charges and credits and other items primarily associated with the litigation settlements. This compares with a net loss from continuing operations of $155.3 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, in 2007, which included $0.34 per diluted share of impairment of long-lived assets, other than temporary impairment of investments of $0.12 per diluted share and a gain in other operating charges and credits of $0.07 per diluted share.

OSB SEGMENT

LP’s OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products. LP is currently operating 10 facilities and has indefinitely curtailed four other facilities due to market conditions. The OSB segment reported net sales for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $109.0 million, down 42 percent compared with $186.5 million of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2007. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $31.1 million – an improvement of 42 percent - compared with an operating loss of $54.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. For the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, sales volumes were down 48 percent with sales price increasing by 6 percent.

For 2008, the OSB segment sales were down approximately 25 percent to $621.5 million from $823.8 million in 2007. For the year, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $155.2 million for 2008 – an improvement of 20 percent – compared to a $194.7 million loss in 2007. For 2008 as compared to 2007, sales volumes were down 29 percent with sale price increasing by 5 percent.

Operating earnings reflected the favorable effects of continued actions taken to reduce operating costs. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2008, LP realized reductions in the cost of petroleum-based products used in production and benefited from the weakening of the Canadian dollar.

“In 2008, 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 LP SmartSide® siding as well as LP’s prefinished LP 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 $76.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, down 17 percent from $91.6 million in the year-ago fourth quarter. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Siding segment reported an operating loss of $11.1 million compared to an operating loss of $4.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

For the full year, Siding segment net sales were down 6 percent to $423.8 million from $448.9 million in 2007. Operating earnings for 2008 were $2.8 million versus $33.6 million in 2007. While the sales decline in 2008 due to reduced building activity negatively affected earnings for Siding, results were further lowered due to additional costs associated with converting the production processes at LP’s Roaring River plant to add the capability of manufacturing an improved, treated line of siding.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, sales were off across all regions as construction stopped in many areas and dealers focused on rebalancing and lowering their inventories. 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 fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $45.3 million, down 37 percent from $71.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating losses increased 358 percent to $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 from $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

4


For 2008, the EWP segment reported net sales of $234.5 million, down 29 percent from $331.6 million in 2007. Operating loss in 2008 was $40.2 million compared to operating profits of $11.0 million during 2007.

For both the fourth quarter and the full year results, the lower operating results were driven by lower volumes, softening prices and significant start-up costs associated with the mill that produces LSL.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

“As we had anticipated, 2008 proved to be a very challenging year for our businesses and we expect 2009 to also be difficult,” Frost said. “Our goal this year is to position LP to emerge from the global economic crisis stronger than before. LP continues to execute a comprehensive set of plans to reduce our manufacturing costs, minimize capital expenditures, reduce headcount as appropriate, consolidate functional activities across businesses, reduce fixed costs, reduce layers of management, consolidate businesses, and a myriad of other actions to improve our costs, productivity and effectiveness in the future.”

“Liquidity in this environment is critical. With the actions that we have already taken and our focus on cash, we are committed to maximizing the value of the $215 million in cash and investments at year-end. We are also actively considering other financing and refinancing transactions to improve our overall liquidity.”

“Based on our actions and plans to enhance liquidity, we believe when this economic downturn subsides, we will be well positioned to compete and prosper,” 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. Visit LP’s web site at www.lpcorp.com for additional information on the company.
