LP Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the second quarter of 2011, which included the following:

 

   

Total sales for the second quarter of $362 million were lower by 19% percent versus a year ago, primarily due to lower OSB prices.

 

   

U.S. housing starts decreased 4 percent from second quarter 2010 levels.

 

   

Loss from continuing operations of $33 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter was a loss of $7 million compared to income of $75 million in the second quarter of 2010.

“Our results for this quarter reflect significantly lower OSB pricing and decreased volume of shipments in all product lines compared to the same quarter last year,” said Rick Frost, Chief Executive Officer. “Demand continues to be weak. Jobs, consumer confidence, inventory of vacant homes for sale and the overall state of the economy continue to have a downward pull on housing.”

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, LP reported net sales of $362 million, an decrease from $448 million in the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter, the company reported an operating loss of $24 million as compared to income in the second quarter of 2010 of $49 million.

For the second quarter of 2011, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $33 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to income from continuing operations of $24 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010.

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, LP reported net sales of $694 million, a decrease from $745 million in the first six months of 2010. For the first six months of 2011, the company reported an operating loss of $42 million as compared to income in the comparable period of 2010 of $26 million. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first six months of 2011 was a positive $3 million compared to $78 million in the first six months of 2010.

For the first six months of 2011, LP reported a loss from continuing operations of $56 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, as compared to income of $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2010.

ORIENTED STRAND BOARD (OSB) SEGMENT

LP’s OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products. LP is currently operating eight facilities and has indefinitely curtailed two other facilities due to market conditions. The OSB segment reported net sales for the second quarter of 2011 of $141 million, down 35 percent compared with $218 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter of 2011, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $23 million compared with income of $48 million in the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter, LP realized a decline of $71 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment as compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, sales volumes were down 4 percent with sales price decreasing by 36 percent. The decrease in sales price accounted for approximately a $71 million dollar 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 $119 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 9 percent from $131 million in the year-ago second quarter. For the second quarter of 2011, the Siding segment reported an operating income of $11 million compared to $22 million in the year-ago quarter. For the second quarter, LP reported $15 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, a decrease of $12 million as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

In the second quarter of 2011, sales decreased across all regions due to slowing retail sales and lower housing starts. Additionally, one of the siding mills in this segment also produces commodity OSB that showed a negative swing of about $4.0 million due to lower pricing.

ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT (EWP)

The EWP segment is comprised of I-Joist (IJ), Laminated Veneer Lumber and Laminated Strand Lumber (LVL and LSL). These products are principally used in new construction. EWP sales in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $54 million, a decrease of 4 percent from $56 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating losses decreased to $3 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $4 million for the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter, LP realized an increase in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $1 million for this segment as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

The improved operating results in the second quarter were driven by increased prices which were partially offset by higher raw material costs.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

“The U.S. economy remains in an unsettled state that requires companies to be extremely agile to respond to wide swings in demand,” Frost continued. “For housing, there is growing agreement that the timing and strength of the recovery will be determined by the change in the inventory of vacant homes for sale and household formations enabled by job recovery. I believe we will see an erratic recovery for the rest of 2011 and into next year,” Frost concluded.

LP is a premier supplier of building materials, delivering innovative, high-quality commodity and specialty products to its retail, wholesale, homebuilding and industrial customers.
