We recorded income from operations of $80.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with income from operations of $147.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. In our Wood Products segment, income decreased $58.8 million to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $72.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, 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. In our BMD 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, 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. Segment income also benefited from a $3.8 million gain on the sale of a non-operating property. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.

Current wording

We recorded income from operations of $32.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with income from operations of $117.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Wood Products' segment loss was $12.1 million compared to segment income of $53.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in income was due to lower EWP and plywood sales prices and sales volumes, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs. In our BMD segment, income decreased $20.5 million to $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $74.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a gross margin decrease of $10.6 million, resulting primarily from decreased margins on commodity and EWP products, offset partially by increased margins on general line products. In addition, selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.

We used $201.5 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as cash provided by operations was offset by capital spending, treasury stock purchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. A further description of our cash sources and uses for the nine-month comparative periods are discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Previous 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.

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 2025, the housing market has been shaped by policy uncertainty, low consumer confidence, elevated interest rates, and affordability challenges for prospective homebuyers. Early industry projections for 2026 are consistent with 2025 housing start levels. Demand expectations are characterized by a cautious market in the first half of the year, with gradual improvement expected later in the year. This improvement is expected to be driven by the continuation of interest rate cuts and normalized homebuilder inventory levels. Near term demand 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 generational tailwinds and an undersupply of housing units, remain strong, while elevated levels of homeowner equity and an aging U.S. housing stock support robust repair-and-remodel spending and reinforce the industry’s solid fundamentals.

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 wording

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $9.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 29.5% and 25.1%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $29.8 million and $101.1 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 24.7% and 24.8%, respectively. For all periods, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate was the effect of state taxes. In addition, our effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was adversely impacted by the effect of permanent tax differences on decreased pre-tax book income for 2025.

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.

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 22% and 16%, comparing sales for the months of June 2025 and 2024 with sales for the months of December 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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.
