Current report

Demand for the products we purchase and distribute, as well as the products we manufacture, is driven primarily by new single-family residential construction, with additional demand generated by new multi-family residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling, and light commercial activity. During the third quarter, high fuel prices and an inflation-driven increase in benchmark interest rates amplified the affordability challenges that have constrained the new home market throughout 2026. To compensate for a reduced pool of qualified homebuyers, homebuilders have pivoted toward build-to-order construction to better align housing starts with home sales and manage finished-home inventory. Activity levels in the fourth quarter are expected to exhibit typical seasonality and decelerate through the winter. Early industry projections for 2027 indicate that housing starts are expected to decline mid-single digits from 2026 levels. Beyond the near-term uncertainty, long-term residential construction fundamentals remain positive, supported by generational tailwinds and an undersupplied housing market. High homeowner equity, aging U.S. housing stock, and a growing preference among older adults to age in place support sustained growth in repair-and-remodeling spending and reinforce the industry’s underlying demand drivers.

Current report

Income from operations increased $23.5 million to $55.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Income from operations increased $0.2 million to $167.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $167.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Current report

Building Materials Distribution. Segment income decreased $3.0 million to $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses of $6.9 million, offset partially by a gross margin increase of $3.6 million. The increase in gross margin was driven by higher gross margins on commodity products, offset partially by lower gross margins on general line products.

Current report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, segment income decreased $26.4 million to $154.3 million from $180.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $25.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a gross margin increase of $6.4 million, resulting from higher gross margins on commodity products, which were offset partially by lower gross margins on EWP and general line products.

Current report

Wood Products. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, segment income was $16.1 million, compared with segment loss of $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher plywood sales prices and EWP sales volumes, offset partially by higher per-unit conversion costs.

Current report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, segment income increased $30.6 million to $50.2 million from $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher plywood sales prices and sales volumes, higher EWP sales volumes, and lower per-unit OSB costs. These increases in segment income were offset partially by lower EWP sales prices and higher per-unit conversion costs.

Previous report

Demand for the products we purchase and distribute, as well as the products we manufacture, depends primarily on new single-family residential construction, with additional demand driven by new multi-family residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling, and light commercial activity. During the second quarter, the operating environment remained uneven and competitive. Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, volatile Treasury yields and mortgage rates, and persistent inflation continue to weigh on the macroeconomic outlook. Against this backdrop, residential construction remains subdued, as affordability constraints and low consumer sentiment pressure market conditions. In response, homebuilders have relied on incentives to stimulate demand while maintaining discipline around starts and spec inventory. Beyond near-term volatility, long-term residential construction fundamentals remain constructive, supported by generational tailwinds and an undersupplied housing market. High homeowner equity and an aging U.S. housing stock support sustained repair-and-remodel spending and reinforce the industry’s solid underlying demand drivers.

Previous report

Income from operations increased $3.4 million to $84.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $80.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous report

Building Materials Distribution. Segment income decreased $7.9 million to $70.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $78.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $10.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, segment income in second quarter 2025 benefited from a $3.8 million gain on the sale of a non-operating property. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a gross margin increase of $9.2 million, resulting from higher gross margins on commodity and general line products, which were offset partially by lower gross margins on EWP.

Previous report

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, segment income decreased $23.4 million to $103.1 million from $126.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

Our distribution business, which purchases and resells a diverse range of products, may benefit from rising prices through increased sales and margins, while periods of declining prices may present challenges. Future product pricing, particularly for commodity products we distribute and manufacture, is expected to remain dynamic, influenced by economic and geopolitical conditions, input costs, industry operating rates, supply disruptions, duties, tariffs, cost and availability of transportation, inventory levels, and seasonal demand patterns. We will continue to monitor end market demand signals and align production rates and inventory stocking positions accordingly.

Current wording

Our distribution business, which purchases and resells a diverse range of products, may benefit from rising prices through increased sales and margins, while periods of declining prices may present challenges. Future product pricing, particularly for commodity products we distribute and manufacture, is expected to remain dynamic, influenced by economic and geopolitical conditions, duties and tariffs, input costs, industry operating rates, supply disruptions, transportation costs and availability, inventory levels, and seasonal demand patterns. Our ability to capture market share associated with recent supplier realignment is dependent upon effective execution of inventory load-in, and maintaining inventory positions sufficient to meet customer demand. Customer reliance on our distribution business increases during periods of market uncertainty, as customers respond to slowing sales with more conservative inventory practices, while greater demand certainty typically moderates this effect. We will continue to monitor end-market demand signals and align production rates and inventory stocking positions accordingly.

Previous wording

Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $62.0 million, or 4%, to $1,503.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $1,441.5 million during the same period in the prior year. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by increased sales volumes compared with second quarter 2025. Materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our BMD segment increased 20 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on general line products and EWP, offset partially by higher margin percentages on commodity products. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower per-unit costs of OSB (used in the manufacture of I-joists) and decreased EWP sales volumes. These decreases were offset partially by higher labor costs compared with second quarter 2025. The MLO rate in our Wood Products segment decreased by 410 basis points, primarily as the result of higher plywood sales prices and sales volumes.

Current wording

Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $102.3 million, or 7%, to $1,506.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1,404.3 million during the same period in the prior year. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by increased prices for products purchased for resale, as well as higher sales volumes compared with third quarter 2025. Materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our BMD segment increased 80 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on general line products, offset partially by higher margin percentages on commodity products. Our MLO rate was also impacted by an increased proportion of sales attributed to commodity products, which have lower margins than general line products and EWP. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher labor and other conversion costs, higher EWP sales volumes, and higher costs of glues and resins compared with third quarter 2025. However, the MLO rate in our Wood Products segment decreased by 530 basis points, primarily as the result of higher plywood sales prices and higher EWP sales volumes.

Previous wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $40.9 million, or 2%, to $2,758.5 million, compared with $2,717.6 million in the same period in the prior year. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by increased sales volumes, compared with the first six months of 2025. The BMD segment MLO rate increased 30 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on general line products and EWP, offset partially by higher margin percentages on commodity products. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower per-unit costs of OSB and decreased EWP sales volumes. Additionally, reduced purchases of external veneer for our Alexandria EWP mill contributed to the decrease in MLO, as operations resumed at our Oakdale veneer and plywood mill following planned downtime to complete significant mill modernization projects in 2025. These decreases were offset partially by higher labor costs compared with the first six months of 2025. The MLO rate in our Wood Products segment decreased by 140 basis points, primarily as the result of higher plywood sales prices and sales volumes.

Current wording

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 wording

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other (income) expense, net was $2.0 million of income, primarily resulting from a settlement gain associated with a fire at our BMD Phoenix location in second quarter 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other (income) expense, net was $9.6 million of income, primarily related to gains on the sale of non-operating properties in our Wood Products and BMD segments in second quarter 2025, as well as the settlement gain discussed above.

Previous wording

Corporate. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $0.3 million to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $11.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense and other employee-related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, unallocated corporate expenses increased $2.4 million to $25.4 million from $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the absorption of approximately $1.8 million of estimated insurance losses related to a fire at our Florien veneer and plywood facility in first quarter 2026, in accordance with our self-insured risk retention program.

Current wording

Corporate. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.6 million to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $9.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $1.9 million settlement gain recognized in third quarter 2025, which reduced expenses in the prior-year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, unallocated corporate expenses increased $4.0 million to $37.0 million from $33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the absorption of approximately $1.8 million of estimated insurance losses related to a fire at our Florien veneer and plywood facility in first quarter 2026 under our self-insured risk retention program, as well as the $1.9 million settlement gain in 2025, which reduced expenses in the prior-year period.

Previous wording

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $2.5 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $4.6 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest income decreased $5.0 million to $5.1 million from $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in both periods was due primarily to lower average balances of cash equivalents, as well as lower interest rates.

Current wording

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $2.1 million to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $4.2 million for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, interest income decreased $7.1 million to $7.2 million from $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in both periods was due primarily to lower average balances of cash equivalents, as well as lower interest rates.

Previous wording

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $21.2 million and $27.8 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 27.0% in both periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $18.6 million and $32.5 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 23.1% and 24.1%, 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.

Current wording

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $14.4 million and $42.2 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 28.4% and 27.5%, respectively. 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 tax rate of 29.5% and 25.1%, 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 rates during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were adversely impacted because permanent tax differences had a greater effect relative to the lower levels of pre-tax book income during those periods.

Previous wording

We ended second quarter 2026 with $304.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $452.5 million of debt. At June 30, 2026, we had $699.9 million of available liquidity (cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed bank line availability). Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $172.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as we used cash to fund seasonal working capital increases, capital spending, share repurchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. Further descriptions of our cash sources and uses for the six-month comparative periods are noted below.

Previous wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our operating activities generated $26.3 million of cash, compared with $4.7 million of cash generated in the same period in 2025. The $21.6 million increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a lesser year-over-year increase in working capital and a $13.6 million decrease in cash paid for taxes, net of refunds, offset partially by a decrease in income from operations, compared to the same period in 2025. Working capital increased $142.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a $170.3 million increase for the same period in the prior year.

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 44% and 22%, comparing sales for the months of June 2026 and 2025 with sales for the months of December 2025 and 2024, respectively. Inventories increased during both periods 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by employee compensation payouts made during the period.

Current 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 26% and 15%, comparing sales for the months of September 2026 and 2025 with sales for the months of December 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, inventories increased due to seasonally higher inventory purchases in our BMD segment for the summer building season, as well as expansions at some of our BMD facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was related to the increase in inventories, and an increase in accrued employee incentive compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by lower accrued employee incentive compensation and employee incentive compensation payouts made during the period.

Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2026 to total approximately $150 million to $170 million. We expect our capital spending in 2026 will be for BMD growth projects, business improvement and efficiency projects, replacement projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of several factors, including 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.

Current wording

Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2026 to total approximately $120 million to $140 million.
