Current report
As a manufacturer of plywood, a commodity product, we remain subject to fluctuations in product pricing and input costs. Our distribution business, which purchases and resells a diverse range of products, experiences opportunities for increased sales and margins during periods of rising prices, while periods of declining prices may present challenges. Future product pricing, particularly for commodity products, is expected to remain dynamic, influenced by economic conditions, industry operating rates, supply disruptions, duties, tariffs, transportation constraints, inventory levels, and seasonal demand patterns. For the balance of 2025, our rates of production and inventory stocking positions, will be influenced by end market demand signals and channel inventory decisions of our customer base.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, sales, including sales to our BMD segment, decreased $95.7 million, or 10%, to $863.1 million from $958.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales was driven by lower sales prices for LVL and I-joists of 10% and 9%, respectively, resulting in decreased sales of $28.2 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Plywood sales prices and sales volumes decreased 8% and 5%, respectively, resulting in decreased sales of $20.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively. In addition, sales volumes for I-joists decreased 4%, resulting in decreased sales of $10.3 million. These decreases were offset partially by increased sales volumes for LVL of 2%, resulting in increased sales of $6.3 million.
Current report
For both periods described above, I-joist sales volumes were influenced by multiple factors, including the level of housing starts, competition from other wood-based products, and concrete floor applications that limit wood floor opportunity. LVL sales volumes expanded their presence in the marketplace through growth with dealers and homebuilders when compared to the same periods in 2024. In addition, plywood sales volumes in both periods were impacted by planned downtime to complete projects at our Oakdale and Kettle Falls plywood mills.
Current report
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, sales decreased $138.2 million, or 4%, to $3,022.0 million from $3,160.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in sales was driven by decreases of 2% for both sales prices and sales volumes. By product line, commodity sales decreased 6%, or $63.1 million; general line product sales increased 1%, or $14.0 million; and sales of EWP decreased 13%, or $89.1 million.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) decreased $30.5 million, or 1%, to $2,717.6 million, compared with $2,748.1 million in the same period in the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased due to purchases of externally produced veneer for our Alexandria EWP mill as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale veneer and plywood mill. Lumber input costs for solid-sawn I-joist and laminated beam production also increased. In addition, labor and other manufacturing costs increased, offset partially by decreased sales volumes for plywood and I-joists compared with the same period in the prior year. The MLO rate in our Wood Products segment increased by 1,130 basis points, due primarily to lower sales prices for EWP and plywood, as well as lower sales volumes for I-joists and plywood, which resulted in decreased leveraging of manufacturing costs. In BMD, the decrease in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by lower purchased materials costs as a result of a decline in sales, as well as increased vendor rebates and allowances, compared with the first six months of 2024. The BMD segment MLO rate decreased 20 basis points, primarily due to higher margin percentages on our general line sales, offset partially by lower margins on our commodity sales compared with the first six months of 2024.
Current report
Selling and distribution expenses increased $12.0 million, or 8%, to $161.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $149.8 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses of $6.9 million, offset partially by lower incentive compensation expense of $1.3 million. Additionally, costs related to shipping, handling, and professional fees increased by $2.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, selling and distribution expenses increased $11.6 million, or 4%, to $305.5 million, compared with $293.9 million during the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily a result of higher employee-related expenses of $10.0 million, offset partially by lower incentive compensation expense of $3.3 million. In addition, costs related to professional fees increased $1.9 million.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 2%, to $26.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $25.9 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 1%, to $51.5 million, compared with $51.1 million during the same period in 2024. The increase in both periods was due primarily to higher other employee-related expenses and professional fees, offset partially by lower incentive compensation expense.
Current report
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other (income) expense, net was $7.6 million and $7.5 million of income, respectively. For both periods, the income primarily relates to gains on the sale of non-operating properties in our Wood Products and BMD segments.
Current report
Income from operations decreased $66.5 million to $80.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $147.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Income from operations decreased $144.9 million to $135.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $280.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
Wood Products. Segment income decreased $58.8 million to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $72.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in segment income was due to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs primarily as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale, Louisiana veneer and plywood mill. In addition, lower plywood sales volumes and an unfavorable profit in inventory adjustment contributed to the decrease in segment income. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a $3.9 million gain on the sale of a non-operating property.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, segment income decreased $112.3 million to $31.7 million from $144.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in segment income was due to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs primarily as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale, Louisiana veneer and plywood mill. In addition, higher lumber input costs for solid-sawn I-joist and laminated beam production, as well as lower plywood and EWP sales volumes, contributed to the decrease in segment income. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a $3.9 million gain on the sale of a non-operating property.
Current report
Building Materials Distribution. Segment income decreased $7.4 million to $78.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $85.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $12.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These decreases to segment income were offset partially by a gross margin increase of $3.4 million, resulting primarily from increased margins on general line products, which were offset partially by decreased margins on commodity and EWP products. Additionally, segment income benefited from a $3.8 million gain on the sale of a non-operating property.
Current report
On July 1, 2025, James Hardie Industries plc (James Hardie) completed the acquisition of The AZEK Company Inc. (AZEK). James Hardie is a significant supplier to our BMD segment. In addition, AZEK produces products that compete with another significant supplier to us, Trex. We have good relationships with both James Hardie and Trex, but it is uncertain what impact, if any, this transaction may have on distribution arrangements with both companies. As such, we cannot assess the potential impact of this transaction to our future results of operations.

Previous report
As a manufacturer of certain commodity products, we have sales and profitability exposure to declines in commodity product prices and rising input costs. Our distribution business purchases and resells a broad mix of products with periods of increasing prices providing the opportunity for higher sales and increased margins, while declining price environments expose us to declines in sales and profitability. Future product pricing, particularly commodity products pricing and input costs, may be volatile in response to economic uncertainties, industry operating rates, supply-related disruptions, imposition of tariffs, transportation constraints or disruptions, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns. In addition, EWP volumes will continue to be influenced by changes in new single-family housing starts and we expect modest EWP price erosion in the second quarter.
Previous report
Selling and distribution expenses decreased $0.5 million, or less than 1%, to $143.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $144.1 million during the same period in the prior year.

Previous wording
Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction. Residential construction, particularly new single-family construction, is the key demand driver for the products we manufacture and distribute. Over the past quarter, the operating environment was challenged. In addition to seasonally slower activity, consumer and homebuilder sentiment was dampened due to significant macroeconomic uncertainties and elevated mortgage rates. Given the current environment, 2025 end market demand expectations are difficult to predict, with most forecasts for housing starts ranging between flat to mid-single digit year-over-year declines. Ultimately, the level and expectations for mortgage rates, home affordability, home equity levels, home size, levels of new and existing home inventory for sale, unemployment levels, consumer confidence, and other factors will influence the near-term demand environment. Long term demand drivers for residential construction, characterized by an undersupply in housing units, aging U.S. housing stock, and elevated levels of homeowner equity remain in place.
Current wording
Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is closely tied to new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction. Residential construction, particularly new single-family construction, remains a key driver of demand for the products we manufacture and distribute. During the past quarter, the operating environment reflected adjustments by large public homebuilders, who moderated their building pace to align with a demand environment shaped by affordability considerations, cautious consumer sentiment, and broader economic conditions. Evolving market conditions have led to reduced home turnover and households delaying big projects impacting repair-and-remodeling spending. Near-term end market demand has eased and will continue to be influenced by factors such as mortgage rates, home affordability, home equity levels, home sizes, new and existing home inventory levels, unemployment rates, and consumer confidence. However, long-term demand drivers for residential construction, including an undersupply of housing units, aging U.S. housing stock, and elevated levels of homeowner equity, remain strong and continue to support the industry’s fundamentals.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to fund debt service requirements and provide cash, as required, to support our ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations, working capital, income tax payments, and to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock over the next 12 months. We expect to fund our seasonal and intra-month working capital requirements in 2025 from cash on hand and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our operating activities used $28.5 million of cash, compared with $27.5 million of cash generated in the same period in 2024. The $55.9 million decrease in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a decrease in income from operations, offset partially by a lesser year-over-year increase in working capital. Working capital increased $123.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with a $149.2 million increase for the same period in the prior year. See "Our Operating Results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information related to factors affecting our operating results.
Current wording
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our operating activities generated $4.7 million of cash, compared with $169.2 million of cash generated in the same period in 2024. The $164.5 million decrease in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a decrease in income from operations, as well as a greater year-over-year increase in working capital, offset partially by a $34.4 million decrease in cash paid for taxes, net of refunds, compared to the same period in 2024. Working capital increased $170.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a $131.6 million increase for the same period in the prior year. See "Our Operating Results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information related to factors affecting our operating results.
Previous wording
The increase in working capital during both periods was primarily attributable to higher receivables and inventories, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in receivables in both periods primarily reflect increased sales of approximately 18% and 19%, comparing sales for the months of March 2025 and 2024 with sales for the months of December 2024 and 2023, respectively. Inventories increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 in preparation for the spring building season, as well as participation in certain BMD vendors' early-buy programs. Inventories increased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in preparation for the spring building season. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2025 was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by employee compensation payouts made during the quarter and lower accrued rebates. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2024 was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by employee incentive compensation payouts made during the quarter.

Inventories increased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to seasonally higher inventory purchases in our BMD segment for the summer building season, as well as participation in certain BMD vendors' early-buy programs. In addition, inventories for both segments were impacted by a weaker demand environment. Inventories increased during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to seasonally higher inventory purchases in our BMD segment for the summer building season.

Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2025 to total approximately $220 million to $240 million. We expect our capital spending in 2025 will be for business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. Our 2025 capital expenditures range includes additional spending on the multi-year investments at our Thorsby EWP mill and Oakdale veneer and plywood mills, as well as our greenfield distribution centers in Texas and South Carolina. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of several factors, including acquisitions, efforts to further accelerate organic growth, exercise of lease purchase options, our financial results, future economic conditions, availability of engineering and construction resources, and timing and availability of equipment purchases.

As of April 27, 2025, we had approximately 7,670 employees. Approximately 17% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements.

One agreement covering approximately 40 employees at our Vancouver BMD facility expired on December 31, 2024 and one agreement covering approximately 20 employees at our Billings BMD facility expired on March 31, 2025. The terms and conditions of these agreements remain in effect pending negotiation of new agreements. In addition, two agreements covering approximately 750 employees at our Oakdale and Florien plywood plants are set to expire on July 15, 2025. The terms and conditions of these agreements will remain in effect after expiration pending negotiation of new agreements. We may not be able to renew these agreements or may renew them on terms that are less favorable to us than the current agreements. If any of these agreements are not renewed or extended upon their termination, we could experience a material labor disruption, strike, or significantly increased labor costs at one or more of our facilities, either in the course of negotiations of a labor agreement or otherwise. Labor disruptions or shortages could prevent us from meeting customer demands or result in increased costs, thereby reducing our sales and profitability.
