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 November 3, 2009 Louisiana - Pacific Corporation issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 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 (losses) before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA from continuing operations”); (2) income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets and other operating credits and charges, net, early debt extinguishment and other than temporary investment impairment and (3) continuing earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, gain (loss) on early debt extinguishment, stock based compensation and other than temporary investment impairment ( “Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations”) each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are 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 and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the press release because we use them as important supplemental measures 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 similar titled measures when reporting their results. We use EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted 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 similar titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented for us may not be comparable to similar titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA from continuing operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest, 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 early debt extinguishment and other than temporary investment impairment 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, early debt extinguishment and other than temporary investment impairment, has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our business.

99.1    Press release issued by Louisiana-Pacific Corporation on November 3, 2009 regarding third quarter ended September 30, 2009 results.

FOR RELEASE AT 8:00 A.M. (EST) TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2009

LP Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

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

 

   

Total sales for the third quarter of $309 million were down 21 percent versus a year ago, primarily the result of dramatically reduced U.S. housing starts, which dropped 31 percent from third quarter 2008 levels, as weakness in home building continued.

 

   

Loss from continuing operations was $12.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 which is an improvement of 87 percent over the results in the third quarter of 2008.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter was $11.0 million compared to a loss of $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2008.

“We are reporting positive EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009” said LP’s Chief Executive Officer Rick Frost. “While the housing market continues to be very depressed, there were seasonal improvements in demand and a few encouraging signs that the housing market is beginning to recover. However, much of the credit is due to the focus on cost containment, managing our operations more efficiently and lower raw materials costs.”

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, LP reported net sales of $309 million, down from $390 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter, the company reported an operating loss of $8.1 million as compared to a loss in the third quarter of 2008 of $67.6 million.

For the third quarter of 2009, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $12.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $100.4 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008.


YEAR TO DATE RESULTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, LP reported net sales of $780 million, down from $1,126 million in the first nine months of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, the company reported an operating loss of $82.8 million as compared to a loss in the comparable period of 2008 of $277.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2009 was a $25.0 million loss compared to a $118.5 million loss in the first nine months of 2008.

For the first nine months of 2009, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $70.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared to $225.7 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, for the first nine months 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 mills due to market conditions. The OSB segment reported net sales for the third quarter of 2009 of $123 million, down 33 percent compared with $183 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter of 2009, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $6.0 million – an improvement of 78 percent - compared with an operating loss of $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter, LP realized an improvement of $18.4 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment as compared to the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the third quarter of 2008, sales volumes were down 26 percent with sales price decreasing by 6 percent. Decrease in sales price accounted for a decline of $7.6 million in both operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

Operating results reflected the favorable effects of continued actions to reduce manufacturing costs by taking advantage of lower cost petroleum-based raw materials, more efficient operating schedules and selective curtailments. LP also benefited from the weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to the third quarter of 2008.

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 repair and remodeling markets. The Siding segment reported net sales of $111 million in the third quarter of 2009, down 5 percent from $117 million in the year-ago third quarter. For the third quarter of 2009, the Siding segment reported an operating income of $16.1 million compared to $4.6 million in the year-ago quarter. For the third quarter, LP reported $21.3 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, an improvement of $11.3 million as compared to the third quarter of 2008.

In the third quarter of 2009, while sales were off across many regions, the Siding segment increased market penetration and experienced continued strength in repair and remodel markets. Like OSB, the segment continued to realize reductions in the cost of petroleum-based raw materials used in production as well as efficiencies in other manufacturing costs.

ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT (EWP)

The EWP segment is comprised of I-Joist (IJ), Laminated Veneer Lumber and Laminated Strand Lumber (LVL and LSL). As these products are used principally in new construction, this segment saw reductions in sales comparable to the significant decline in housing starts. EWP segment sales in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $48 million, down 25 percent from $63 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating losses decreased 43 percent to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 from $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter, LP reported a loss of $3.0 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, an improvement of $3.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2008.

The lower sales in the third quarter were driven by lower volumes and softening prices. The margin improvement was due to reduced manufacturing and support costs.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

During the third quarter, LP successfully completed an equity offering of 20.7 million shares that provided net cash after expenses of $132.3 million. After the end of the quarter, LP used $112.6 million of this cash to retire $131.3 million face amount of its 2017 notes under the equity claw back provisions stipulated in the note agreement. This series of transactions not only reduced LP’s debt and increased cash but also eliminated cash interest payments of approximately $17 million per year.

“2009 continues to be challenging for all of our businesses. During the third quarter, we did see improvement in our operations, particularly siding. Looking forward, we believe that some recent improvements in housing statistics may bode well for the 2010 building season. Because the fourth quarter is historically a weak part of the year for demand, our goal for the remainder of the year is to conserve cash and improve liquidity so that when this economic downturn subsides, we will be well positioned to compete,” Frost concluded.
