LP Building Solutions Reports First Quarter 2023 Results, Provides Capital Allocation Update, and Second Quarter 2023 Outlook
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 3, 2023) - Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX)), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Key Highlights for First Quarter 2023, Compared to First Quarter 2022
•Siding Solutions net sales flat at $329 million
•Oriented Strand Board (OSB) net sales decreased by 75% to $189 million, including 63% related to lower OSB prices
•As a result, net sales from continuing operations decreased by 50% to $584 million, including 40% related to lower OSB prices
•Income from continuing operations attributed to LP decreased by $401 million to $21 million ($0.29 per diluted share)
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $66 million, a decrease of $532 million
•Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) was $0.34 per share, a decrease of $4.41 per share
(1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Information”, “Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Income, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS" below.
Capital Allocation Update
•Paid $114 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter
•Paid $17 million in cash dividends during the first quarter
•Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share
•Cash and cash equivalents of $126 million as of March 31, 2023
•Closed on the $80 million acquisition of the assets owned by Wawa OSB, Inc. on May 2, 2023
“Single-Family housing starts were down nearly 30% in the first quarter,” said Brad Southern, Chair & CEO. “Despite this challenging market, Siding sales were flat to prior year quarter, with price increases offsetting lower volume, and the OSB segment delivered positive EBITDA. LP’s strategy of growing Siding and operating OSB with flexibility and discipline continues to deliver value.”
Q2 2023 Outlook and 2023 Capital Expenditure Guidance
Our guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”
•Siding Solutions second quarter 2023 revenue is expected to decrease year-over-year by up to 5%
•OSB second quarter 2023 revenue is expected to be sequentially higher than the first quarter 2023 by approximately 20%, assuming that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on April 28, 2023 (this is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast)
•Under these assumptions, second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA(2) is expected to be greater than $80 million
•Given our current outlook, capital expenditures for 2023, excluding the $80 million paid for the Wawa acquisition, are expected to be in the range of $330 million to $370 million, including $140 million to $160 million for the mill conversions, $120 million to $130 million for sustaining maintenance, and $70 million to $80 million for other strategic growth projects
(2) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. With respect to Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023, certain items that affect net income on a GAAP basis, such as product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, and LP is unable to quantify such amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort. As such, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP net income, or a corresponding reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Net sales for the first quarter of 2023 decreased year-over-year by $583 million (or 50%), including a decrease in OSB segment revenue of $555 million, or 75%, due to 66% lower prices and 26% lower volume and a decrease in South America segment revenue of $11 million, or 17%, predominately driven by lower OSB sales volumes and pricing. Siding segment revenue remained flat year-over-year.
Income from continuing operations attributed to LP for the first quarter of 2023 decreased year-over-year by $401 million, or 95%, to $21 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, which reflects a $532 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by a $123 million lower income tax provision
Segment Results
Siding
The Siding segment serves diverse end markets with a broad product offering of engineered wood siding, trim, and fascia, including LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding, LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding, and LP® Outdoor Building SolutionsTM (collectively referred to as Siding Solutions).
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

| Net sales | $ | 331 | $ | 332 | — | % | |||||||||||

| Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 versus 2022 | |||||||||||
| Average Net Selling Price | Unit Shipments | ||||||||||
| Siding Solutions | 10 | % | (9) | % | |||||||
The combined effects of list price increases and customer mix shifts drove year-over-year increases in the average net selling price for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The volume decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by a challenging new home construction market and elevated levels of channel inventory compared to the prior period.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year by $15 million in the first quarter of 2023 due to lower volume and $17 million of raw material, freight and labor inflation, partially offset by an increase in the average net sales price.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
The OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products, including our value-added OSB portfolio known as LP Structural Solutions (which includes LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, LP NovaCore™ Thermal Insulated Sheathing, LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing and LP® TopNotch® Sub-Flooring). OSB is manufactured using wood strands arranged in layers and bonded with resins.

| OSB - Commodity | (74) | % | (13) | % | |||||||
The year-over-year net sales decrease of $555 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects a $470 million decrease in OSB prices, a $51 million decrease in sales volume from production curtailments, and a $27 million decrease related in production volume from the conversion of the Sagola mill to Siding production.
The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $500 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects lower OSB prices and sales volume (as described above) and increased raw material and wage inflation of $7 million.
South America
LP's South America segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel and siding products in South America and certain export markets. This segment has manufacturing operations in two countries, Chile and Brazil, and operates sales offices in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Paraguay.
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

South America net sales decreased year-over-year by $13 million, or 17%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, predominantly driven by lower OSB sales volumes and pricing.
The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects lower sales volumes and pricing as well as higher raw material costs.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements LP makes regarding plans for product development, forecasts of future costs and expenditures, possible outcomes of legal proceedings, capacity expansion, and other growth initiatives, and the adequacy of reserves for loss contingencies.

For additional information about factors that could cause actual results, events, and circumstances to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to LP’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We urge you to consider all of the risks, uncertainties, and factors identified above or discussed in such reports carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements in this news release. We cannot assure you that the results reflected in or implied by any forward-looking statement will be realized or even if substantially realized, that those results will have the forecasted or expected consequences and effects for or on our operations or financial performance. The forward-looking statements made today are as of the date of this news release. Except as required by law, LP undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events, or circumstances.
Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). In this press release, we disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exclude stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations, excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, and pension settlement charges, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate as Adjusted Income (Adjusted Income). We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income, income attributed to LP from continuing operations, and income attributed to LP from continuing operations per diluted share or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have
material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The following tables set forth: (1) housing starts, (2) our North American sales volume, and (3) Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). We consider these items to be key performance indicators because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions, and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.
We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.
The following table sets forth housing starts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB and South America segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to monitor operational improvements.
OEE for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for each of our segments is listed below:
