Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this item and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, 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 5, 2014, Louisiana - Pacific Corporation issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, 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 continuing earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA from continuing operations”) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, it discloses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations which further adjusts EBITDA from continuing operations to exclude stock based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sales or impairment of long lived assets, other operating charges and credits, investment income, gain on acquisition and depreciation included in equity in loss (earnings) of unconsolidated affiliates. It also discloses adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, cost of acquisition, other operating credits and charges, net, and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted loss from continuing operations are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or operating cash flows or other GAAP measures of operating performance or liquidity. A copy of the reconciliation of adjusted loss from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter and six month ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
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 similarly-titled measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present similarly-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 similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA from continuing operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and 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 adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, adjusted for a normalized tax rate 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, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations 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.

LP Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the third quarter of 2014, which included the following:

Sales for the third quarter of $518 million were higher by 2 percent compared to the year ago quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents were $580 million as of September 30, 2014.

"LP's financial results continue to be negatively affected by poor OSB pricing." said Curt Stevens, CEO. "We have seen higher demand for most of our products but less than anticipated due to the anemic housing recovery."
 
For the third quarter of 2014, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $18 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, as compared to income from continuing operations of $38 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013. Reductions in OSB pricing accounted for $44 million decrease in both operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, LP reported net sales of $1.5 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the first nine months of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, LP reported loss from continuing operations of $30 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to income of $197 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the the first nine months of 2014 was $61 million compared to $306 million for 2013.

The OSB segment reported net sales for the third quarter of 2014 of $233 million, a 5 percent decrease from $245 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2013. For the third quarter of 2014, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $16 million compared to operating income of $30 million in the third quarter of 2013. For the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment decreased by $46 million compared to the third quarter of 2013. For the third quarter, sales volumes were higher by 13 percent and sales prices decreased by 16 percent





compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in sales price accounted for approximately $44 million of the decrease in both operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

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 $163 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 10 percent from $149 million in the year-ago third quarter. For the third quarter of 2014, the Siding segment reported operating income of $21 million compared to $23 million in the year-ago quarter.
