Outlook

LP is providing financial guidance for the second quarter of 2026 and full year 2026 as set forth in the table below. 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."

	Second Quarter 2026	Full-Year 2026
Siding Net Sales Year-Over-Year Growth	$435-445 million (~4% decline)	$1.65-1.67 billion (~2% decline)
Siding Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾	$115-120 million (~26% margin⁽²⁾⁽³⁾)	$410-425 million (25-26% margin⁽²⁾⁽³⁾)
OSB Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾⁽⁴⁾	$(10) million	$(40) million
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA^(2)(4)(5)	$100-105 million	$345-360 million
Capital Expenditures⁽⁶⁾		~$390 million

⁽²⁾	^{This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliation of Siding Adjusted EBITDA, OSB Adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts. Our inability to reconcile these measures results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliation, such as loss on impairment attributed to LP, business exit credits and charges, 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 U.S. GAAP measures. LP expects that these adjustments may potentially have a significant impact on future U.S. GAAP financial results.}
⁽³⁾	^{This is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as Siding Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.}
⁽⁴⁾	^{The second quarter and full year OSB Adjusted EBITDA are based on the assumption that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on May 1, 2026 (this is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast).}
⁽⁵⁾	^{For purposes of calculating the second quarter and full year 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, it has been assumed that other operations will contribute approximately $(5)M and $(25)M in the second quarter and full year, respectively.}
⁽⁶⁾	^{Capital expenditures related to strategic growth and sustaining maintenance projects are expected to be approximately $200 million and $190 million, respectively, for full year 2026.}

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 fell year over year by $149 million to $574 million. Siding revenue decreased by $42 million or 10%, primarily due to 9% higher prices offset by 18% lower volumes. OSB revenue decreased by $99 million, driven by a decline in both prices and volumes.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 decreased year over year by $64 million to $27 million ($0.39 per diluted share). The decline primarily reflects an $80 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a benefit of $16 million related to the reduction in tax provision. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA includes a $66 million impact from lower OSB prices, $10 million from lower OSB volumes, and a $35 million impact from lower Siding volumes. These decreases were partially offset by a $27 million benefit from higher Siding prices.
