Item 5.    Other events

        On May 8, 2002, LP announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to sell selected businesses and assets, including its plywood, commodity industrial panels, timber and timberlands, lumber, wholesale and distribution businesses. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," LP is required to account for the businesses anticipated to be sold within one year as discontinued operations. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2002, LP classified its plywood, lumber, commodity industrial panels and wholesale and distribution businesses and timber assets directly associated with these businesses as discontinued operations. Although LP plans to divest its fee timber assets not directly associated with these businesses, these assets are not reported as discontinued operations because LP does not anticipate that the full divestiture will occur within the next twelve months. Additionally, as a result of the planned divestitures, LP was required to modify its segment reporting under SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." In September 2002, LP determined that it would not pursue the sale of most of its lumber business and therefore all lumber mills that are not to be divested have been reclassified to continuing operations.

        Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of a press release of LP dated October 23, 2002, reporting LP's earnings for the third quarter of 2002. The data included in the press release for periods ended prior to September 30, 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended September 30, 2002, which reflects the application of SFAS Nos. 144 and 131 as described above.

        Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference are unaudited consolidated statements of income of LP, and selected segment information of LP, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and for the three months ended September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2002 and December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2001. The data for all such periods ended prior to September 30, 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended September 30, 2002, which reflects the application of SFAS Nos. 144 and 131 as described above.

FOR RELEASE AT 8:00 A.M. (EDT) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2002

LP Reports Third Quarter 2002 Results

Portland, Ore. (October 23, 2002)—Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) today reported a third quarter net income of $3.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on sales of $501.8 million. In the third quarter of 2001, LP's net loss was $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, on sales of $504.0 million (excluding the amortization of goodwill, third quarter 2001 net income was $5.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share). For the first nine months of 2002, LP reported a net loss of $19.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, on sales of $1.5 billion compared to a net loss of $100.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, on sales of $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2001 (excluding the amortization of goodwill, the net loss for the first nine months of 2001 was $80.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share).

For the third quarter of 2002, income from continuing operations was $18.4 million, or $0.18 per share. In the third quarter of 2001, LP's income from continuing operations was $4.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. For the first nine months of 2002, income from continuing operations was $26.9 million, or $0.26 per share. For the first nine months of 2001, loss from continuing operations was $82.0 million or $0.78 per share. Included in the third quarter of 2002 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 is a gain of about $58 million ($35.4 after taxes) associated with the sale of a portion of our timberlands.

"We are making good progress executing the plan we announced in May of this year," said Mark A. Suwyn, LP's chairman & CEO. "This quarter, all continuing businesses showed positive operating profits despite a drop in oriented strand board (OSB) prices of 11% from the third quarter last year. In response to soft pricing, we curtailed all our OSB mills for one week in July, and continue to have one major Canadian mill closed. Through close control of capital expenditures, the ongoing sale of assets and positive operating results, we reduced our net debt and other liabilities by more than $60 million this quarter."

Suwyn continued, "This past quarter we divested four plywood and three industrial panel mills, and we expect to close several more transactions this quarter. Due to extremely low lumber prices and general uncertainty in the direction of the lumber market, the bids for our lumber mills were below the value of these excellent facilities. Accordingly, we have decided to pull two-thirds of them off the market; the remaining will proceed to sale now. We remain optimistic that we will complete these and the other planned divestitures by year-end 2003 as originally forecast."

1.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year.

2.
On May 8, 2002, LP announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to sell selected businesses and assets in order to significantly reduce LP's current debt. The plan involves the divesting of its plywood, industrial panels, timber and timberlands, lumber, wholesale and distribution businesses. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", LP is required to account for the businesses anticipated to be sold within one year as discontinued operations. Additionally, as a result of the planned divestitures LP was required to modify its segment reporting under SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information". Subsequently, in September 2002, LP determined that it would not pursue the sale of most of the lumber business and therefore all mills that are not to be divested have been reclassified to continuing operations.

3.
