FOR RELEASE AT 8:00 A.M. (EDT) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005
LP Reports Third Quarter Profits
Nashville, TN. (October 26, 2005) - Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today third quarter net income of $173 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, on sales from continuing operations of $621 million. In the third quarter of 2004, LP’s net income was $108 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, on sales from continuing operations of $702 million. For the first nine months of 2005, LP reported net income of $375 million, or $3.38 per diluted share, on sales from continuing operations of $2.0 billion compared to net income of $407 million, or $3.72 per diluted share, on sales from continuing operations of $2.2 billion for the first nine months of 2004.
For the third quarter of 2005, income from continuing operations was $176 million, or $1.60 per diluted share. In the third quarter of 2004, LP’s income from continuing operations was $106 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. For the first nine months 2005, income from continuing operations was $385 million, or $3.48 per diluted share. For the first nine months of 2004, income from continuing operations was $403 million, or $3.68 per diluted share. Results for 2005 include a one-time reversal of deferred tax liabilities of $102 million for the quarter (or $0.93 per diluted share) and $91 million for the first nine months of the year (or $0.83 per diluted share) associated with the planned repatriation of foreign earnings as provided by the American Job Creation Act of 2004. Results for the first nine months of 2004 included charges primarily for the early extinguishment of debt, impairments of long-lived assets, litigation and other net operating charges totaling $84 million ($51 million after tax, or $0.47 per diluted share).

“Operationally, LP had a good quarter,” said Rick Frost, chief executive officer. “LP earned $0.68 per share from continuing operations without the benefit of the one-time repatriation adjustment to our tax provision. OSB pricing started the quarter by drifting downward but reversed in September partially as a result of the Gulf Coast hurricanes. These hurricanes negatively affected our operations by causing rapidly escalating costs associated with energy and oil-based raw materials, down time at several of our Texas mills due to power outages and disruption of deliveries across the South,” Frost continued.
“During the quarter, LP retired about $170 million in debt and implemented a $150 million accelerated share buyback program. LP continues to have a strong balance sheet that provides us with the financial flexibility to implement our growth plans,” Frost concluded.
“In the third quarter, LP finalized plans to repatriate approximately $520 million of earnings and profits from our Canadian subsidiary under the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act,” stated Curt Stevens, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “This decision reduces LP’s tax provision by just over $100 million for the quarter,” he concluded.
At 11:00 a.m. EST (8:00 a.m. PST) today, LP will host a webcast on its third quarter 2005 financial results. To access the live webcast and accompanying presentation, visit www.lpcorp.com and go to the “Investor Relations” section from the main menu.

In the first quarter of 2004, LP recorded a loss of $9.7 million ($6.4 million after taxes, or $0.05 per diluted share) on the cancellation of a capital project to build a veneer mill in British Columbia and a charge of $3.2 million ($2.0 million after taxes, or $0.02 per diluted share) for impairment of timber rights associated with a cedar mill in British Columbia, Canada to reduce the book value to the estimated realizable sales value.
In the third quarter of 2004, LP recorded a loss of $2.8 million ($1.7 million after taxes, or $0.02 per diluted share) on a non-operating OSB mill, $0.5 million ($0.3 after taxes, or $0.00 per diluted share) of additional expense associated with the cancellation of a capital project to build a veneer mill in British Columbia to reduce the values to the net realizable sale price for these assets and a gain of $0.6 million ($0.4 million after taxes, or $0.00 per diluted share) associated with the sale of certain other assets.
In the second quarter of 2005, LP reversed $1.2 million of an impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2004 due to management’s decision to continue to retain and operate certain timber tenure rights previously classified as discontinued operations.

Accounting standards require that the estimated effective income tax rate (based upon estimated annual amounts of taxable income and expense) by income component for the year be applied to year-to-date income or loss at the end of each quarter. At quarter end, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate with the difference between the previously accrued year to date balance and actual being charged to the current quarter.
During the third quarter, LP finalized its plans to repatriate accumulated earnings from its Canadian subsidiaries to the US under the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. LP plans to repatriate approximately $522 million of Canadian earnings in the fourth quarter and will pay approximately $31 million in US federal and state
9
income taxes with respect to the distribution and an additional $22 million, net of tax benefit, in Canadian withholding taxes. LP had previously anticipated repatriating a portion of these earnings as a dividend to the US, and accordingly accrued a tax liability of $155.0 million through June 30 2005 ($144.3 million at December 31, 2004). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provides for a dividends received deduction for 85% of the qualified portion of this dividend and therefore, in the third quarter, LP reversed $91 million of tax liabilities accrued in prior years as well as $10.7 million accrued in the first six months of 2005.
The components and associated effective income tax rates applied to each period are as follow:
