In addition to the foregoing and any risks and uncertainties specifically identified in the text surrounding forward-looking statements, any statements in the reports and other documents filed by us with, or furnished by us to, the SEC that warn of risks or uncertainties associated with future results, events, or circumstances identify important factors that could cause actual results, events, and circumstances to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements that we make, or that are made by others on our behalf, are based on our knowledge of our business and our operating environment and assumptions that we believe to be, or will believe to be, reasonable when such forward-looking statements are or will be made. As a consequence of the factors described above, the other risks, uncertainties, and factors we disclose below and in the reports and other documents filed by us with the SEC, other risks not known to us at this time, changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or other circumstances, our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in or implied or contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Consequently, this cautionary statement qualifies all forward-looking statements we make, or that are made on our behalf, including those made herein and incorporated by reference herein. We cannot assure you that the results or developments expected or anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the expected consequences for us or affect us, our business, our operations or our operating results in the manner or to the extent we expect. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates and are inherently uncertain. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any of the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances except to the extent required by applicable law.
ABOUT THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION
In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we rely on and refer to information regarding industry data obtained from market research, publicly available information, industry publications, U.S. government sources, and other third parties.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and our subsidiaries are a leading provider of high-performance building solutions that meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. Serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets, we have leveraged our expertise to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, reliability, and sustainability. The principal customers for our building solutions are retailers, wholesalers, and home building and industrial businesses in North America and South America. The Company operates more than 20 manufacturing facilities across North and South America and operates an additional facility through a joint venture. References to “LP,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole.
See “Note 11. Selected Segment Data” below for further information regarding our products and segments.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented here have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. As such, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Management believes that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes should be reviewed in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026 (2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LP and our consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, profits, and balances have been eliminated.
NOTE 2. REVENUE
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated into major product lines. We believe disaggregation into these categories provides insight into how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The following tables present our reportable segment revenues, disaggregated by revenue source (dollar amounts in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Siding | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||

| OSB - Commodity | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net sales attributable to OSB | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Sales | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
10
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract (e.g., purchase orders) with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The shipping cost incurred by us to deliver products to our customers is recorded in cost of sales. The expected costs associated with our warranties continue to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold.
Our businesses routinely incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, promote sales of products, and maintain competitive pricing. Customer program costs and incentives, including rebates and promotion and volume allowances, are accounted for as a reduction in net sales at the time the program is initiated and/or the revenue is recognized. The costs include, but are not limited to, volume allowances and rebates, promotional allowances, and cooperative advertising programs. These costs are recorded using management’s best estimates, which are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer. Volume allowances are accrued based on our estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new product purchases, store sell-through, merchandising support, and customer training. Management adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations).
We ship some of our products to customers’ distribution centers on a consignment basis. We retain title to our products stored at the distribution centers. As our products are removed from the distribution centers by retailers and shipped to retailers’ stores, title passes from us to the retailers. At that point, we invoice the retailer and recognize revenue for these consignment transactions. No right of return is offered for products shipped to the retailers’ stores from the distribution centers.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method. This method requires that the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs), restricted stock units, and performance stock units) be excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods in which losses are reported because the effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (dollar and share amounts in millions, except per share amounts):

Other long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, consisted primarily of executive deferred compensation and the long-term portion of workers’ compensation liabilities. See “Note 10. Product Warranties” below for further information regarding our product warranty claims.
NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We are required to classify these financial assets and liabilities into two groups: (i) recurring—measured on a periodic basis, and (ii) non-recurring—measured on an as-needed basis.
There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, and trading securities. Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The net carrying value of the Company's 3.625 % Senior Notes due in 2029 (2029 Senior Notes) was $348 335 million and $341 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The 2029 Senior Notes and other long-term debt are categorized as Level 1 in the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values are based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price is determined using published rates.
In March 2025, LP entered into that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the First Amendment) with American AgCredit, PCA, as administrative agent, CoBank, ACB, as letter of credit issuer, and the lenders and voting participants party thereto, which amends that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) that was entered into in November 2022. The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to (1) increase the aggregate principal amount for the credit facility (the Amended Credit Facility) from $550 million to $750 million, (2) increase the sub-limit for letters of credit from $60 million to $75 million, (3) change the interest rate for revolving borrowing, (4) change the capitalization ratio limit, and (5)

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
For interim periods, income tax expense is recognized by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date results, unless doing so does not yield a reliable estimate. Each quarter, the income tax accrual is updated based on the latest estimate, and any difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is recorded in the current quarter. Changes in profitability estimates across jurisdictions may affect quarterly effective tax rates.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, reflected an estimated annual effective tax rate of 26 % excluding discrete items discussed below. The total tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was $8 million and $17 million, respectively, compared to $19 million and $45 million for the corresponding periods in 2025. The total effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was 22 % and 24 %, respectively, compared to 26 % and 24 % for the corresponding periods in 2025.

NOTE 8. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The carrying values of our long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairments, and adequate support is believed by management to exist for each asset’s carrying value based on anticipated cash flows derived from estimates of future demand, pricing, and production costs, assuming certain levels of planned capital expenditures. However, if demand and pricing for our products fall to levels significantly below cycle-average demand and pricing, should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for our mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required.
Potential changes to our strategic plans, including decisions regarding the continued use or disposition of specific assets, are also periodically evaluated, taking into account current and anticipated economic and industry conditions,
15
and other relevant factors. Such decisions may require management to revise assumptions regarding expected future cash flows or estimated recoverable values. If revised estimates indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, impairment charges may be required.

Current portion (included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities) | ( | ( | |||||||||
| Long-term portion | $ | $ | |||||||||
Estimates of loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to substantial uncertainty. Estimated exposure to contingencies is regularly monitored, and as additional information becomes available, estimates may change significantly. Although no estimate of the range of any such change can be made at this time, the amount ultimately paid in connection with these matters could materially exceed, in either the near term or the longer term, the amounts accrued to date. Estimates of loss contingencies do not reflect potential future recoveries from insurance carriers, except to the extent that recovery is deemed probable based on an insurer’s agreement to payment terms.
Environmental Matters
A reserve is maintained for undiscounted estimated environmental loss contingencies. This reserve is primarily maintained for estimated future costs of remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at numerous sites currently or previously owned by the Company. Estimates of environmental loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments, the specific nature of which varies considering the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each environmental loss contingency. These estimates typically reflect management's assumptions and judgments as to the probable nature, magnitude, and timing of the required investigation, remediation, and/or monitoring activities, as well as the probable costs associated with those activities. In some cases, estimates also consider the obligation, willingness, or ability of third parties to bear a proportionate or allocated share of the costs.
Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, and the potential effects of changes in governmental regulation and environmental technologies, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. Estimated exposure to environmental loss contingencies is regularly monitored, and estimates may be revised significantly as additional information becomes available.
Other Proceedings
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the information currently available, management does not believe that the resolution of such proceedings could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.

NOTE 10. PRODUCT WARRANTIES
Warranties are offered on the sale of most of our products, and an accrual is recorded for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims.

NOTE 11. SELECTED SEGMENT DATA
The Company defines its operating segments as those operations that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred, for which discrete financial information is available, and that are regularly reviewed to analyze performance and allocate resources by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company conducts business through two
•The Siding segment serves diverse end markets with a broad product portfolio of engineered wood siding, trim, soffit, and fascia. Our Siding is offered primed (LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding, and LP® Outdoor Building Solutions®) and prefinished (LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding) to meet the needs of builders and installers in new construction and repair and remodeling applications.
•The OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products, including the innovative value-added OSB product portfolio known as LP® Structural Solutions (which includes LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing, LP BurnGuard® FRT OSB, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, and LP® TopNotch® 350 Durable Sub-Flooring).
The results of our business segments are evaluated based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, which the CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of operating and capital resources. Additionally, the budgeting and forecasting process monitors budget versus actual results, with emphasis on Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income attributed to LP excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, other non-operating income (expense), income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and net income attributed to noncontrolling interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. We encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or implied by past results and trends. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future, and our interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect for the full fiscal year or any other period.
General
We are a leading provider of high-performance building solutions that meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. We have leveraged our expertise serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, reliability, and sustainability. Our manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil. To serve these markets, we operate in two reportable segments: Siding and Oriented Strand Board (OSB).
Demand for Building Products
Demand for our products correlates positively with new home construction, especially new single-family home construction, and repair and remodeling activity in North America, which historically has been characterized by significant cyclicality. The U.S. Census Bureau published actual U.S. housing starts data on July 17, 2026. Actual single-family housing starts were approximately 4% and 5% lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025. Actual multi-family housing starts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were approximately 8% and 15% higher, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025. Repair and remodeling demand is difficult to measure precisely due to diversity of remodeling projects, however, available market indicators suggest activity is roughly flat compared to the prior year.
Future economic conditions in the United States and the demand for homes are uncertain due to various macroeconomic factors, including interest rates, employment levels, changing trade policy in various jurisdictions, consumer confidence, and financial markets, among other things. Additionally, we have experienced fluctuating material prices, supply disruptions, and labor challenges, which we continue to address as we work to meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide.
Supply and Demand for Siding
Our Siding products are specialty building materials and are subject to competition from various siding and cladding technologies, including vinyl, stucco, wood, fiber cement, brick, and others. We believe we are the largest manufacturer of engineered wood siding in North America and South America. We have consistently grown our Siding segment above the underlying market growth rates. Our Siding segment is generally less sensitive to housing market cyclicality since a majority of its demand comes from other markets, including off-site structure producers and repair and remodel. Our growth in this market depends upon the continued displacement of vinyl, wood, fiber cement, stucco, bricks, and other alternatives, our product innovation, and our technological expertise in wood and wood composites to address the needs of our customers.
Supply and Demand for OSB
OSB is a commodity product, and it is subject to competition from manufacturers worldwide. Product supply is influenced primarily by fluctuations in available manufacturing capacity and imports. The ratio of overall OSB demand to capacity generally drives prices. We cannot predict whether the prices of our OSB products will remain at current levels or fluctuate in the future.
21
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a discussion of our significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and judgments. Throughout the preparation of the financial statements, we employ significant judgments in the application of accounting principles and methods. These judgments are primarily related to the assumptions used to arrive at various estimates.
There have been no changes in the application of principles, methods, and assumptions used to determine our significant estimates since December 31, 2025.
22
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators
When evaluating the Company's performance on a U.S. GAAP basis, management utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e). These measures exclude the impact of specific costs, expenses, gains, and losses to evaluate our overall operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior periods, as they generally exclude items that are outside of the normal course of our business or beyond management's control. It is important to note that non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS (as each defined below) are non-GAAP measures that are used by management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements such as investors, industry analysts, and lenders.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, other non-operating income (expense), income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and net income attributed to noncontrolling interest. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates.
Adjusted Income is defined as net income, excluding loss on impairment, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, net income attributed to noncontrolling interest, foreign currency gains and losses, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company updated the definition of Adjusted Income to exclude foreign currency gains and losses. These gains and losses primarily arise from the remeasurement of all monetary assets and liabilities including intercompany notes that are denominated in a different currency than the entity's functional currency. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations. The Company believes this exclusion provides investors with a clearer view of underlying operating performance by removing the effects of currency fluctuations that are largely outside of the Company's control and do not reflect its core business activities. For comparability and consistency, all prior period Adjusted Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures have been recast to conform to the current presentation. The impact of this update for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was an increase to Adjusted Income of $6 million and $9 million, respectively, and an increase to Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.08 per share and $0.14 per share, respectively.
Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, net income and net income per share of common stock - diluted, respectively, are presented below. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income and net income per share of common stock - diluted or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

Key Performance Indicators
In addition, management monitors certain key performance indicators to evaluate our business performance, which include our Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and our sales volume relative to housing starts, as provided by reports from the U.S. Census Bureau.
24
The following tables present summary data relating to: (i) housing starts within the United States, (ii) our sales volumes, and (iii) our OEE performance. We consider these items to be key performance indicators for our business because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends in our industry, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe that the key performance indicators presented may provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing our core operating performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the financial measures that were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.
We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators reported by other companies.
The following table sets forth actual housing starts data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, as published through July 17, 2026, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

| 372 | 375 | 696 | 692 | ||||||||||||||||||||
We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding and OSB segments, which we define as the amount of our products sold within the applicable period measured in million square feet (MMSF) on a standard 3/8" thickness basis. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volume data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, sales volume data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to monitor operational improvements. We use a best-in-class target across all LP sites that allows us to optimize capital investments, focus on maintenance and reliability improvements, and improve overall equipment efficiency. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, OEE data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
OEE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, for each of our reportable segments is listed below:

27
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, OSB net sales decreased year over year by $68 million and $167 million, respectively, primarily driven by lower OSB prices and a decline in sales volumes.
Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods decreased year over year by $40 million and $106 million, respectively, reflecting the impact of lower OSB prices and a decline in sales volumes.
Other
Other operations include our South American business that manufactures and distributes OSB structural panels and siding products in South America and certain export markets. Other operations also include timber and timberlands as well as other products, services, and closed operations, which do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, Other includes unallocated corporate expenses.
Other net sales decreased by $3 million and $12 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily due to a decline in OSB selling prices in South America. Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods decreased year over year by $12 million and $20 million, respectively, driven by a decline in South America net sales along with higher costs incurred in that market.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $80 million and $158 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $79 million and $154 million for the corresponding periods in 2025. The year-over-year increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was due to higher inflationary costs.
Income Taxes
We recognized a total tax provision of $8 million and $17 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $19 million and $45 million for the corresponding periods in 2025. Each quarter, the income tax accrual is updated based on the latest estimate, and any difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is recorded in the current quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the primary differences between the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the total effective tax rate of 24 % relate to foreign income tax and inflationary and foreign currency exchange-related adjustments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the primary differences between the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the total effective tax rate of 24 % relate to state income tax and inflationary and foreign currency exchange-related adjustments.
Legal and Environmental Matters
For a discussion of legal and environmental matters involving us and the potential impact thereof on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, see Items 3, 7, and 8 in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and investment balances, cash generated by our operations, and our ability to borrow under such credit facilities as we may have in effect from time to time. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we project our anticipated cash requirements as well as cash flows generated from operating activities to meet those needs. We anticipate that long-term cash uses may also include strategic acquisitions. On a long-term basis, we expect to rely on our credit facilities in effect from time to time for any long-term funding not provided by operating cash flows. We may also, from time to time, issue and sell equity, debt, or hybrid securities or engage in other capital market transactions.
28
Our principal uses of liquidity are paying the costs and expenses associated with our operations, servicing outstanding indebtedness, paying dividends, and making capital expenditures. We may also, from time to time, prepay or repurchase outstanding indebtedness or shares or acquire assets or businesses that are complementary to our operations. Any such share repurchases may be commenced, suspended, discontinued, or resumed, and the method or methods of effecting any such repurchases may be changed, at any time, or from time to time, without prior notice.
We expect to fund our capital expenditures over at least the next 12 months through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and available borrowing under our Amended Credit Facility, as necessary.
Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operations was $102 million. During the same period in 2025, cash provided by operations was $226 million. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily related to lower net income and changes in working capital.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, cash used in investing activities was $120 million and $132 million, respectively, relating to capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures in 2026 are expected to be approximately $320 million. We expect to fund our short-term and long-term capital expenditures in 2026 through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and available borrowing under our Amended Credit Facility, as necessary.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in financing activities was $47 million, which included $42 million of cash dividends paid and $5 million to repurchase stock from employees in connection with income tax withholding requirements associated with our employee stock-based compensation plans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities was $105 million, which included $61 million for share repurchases of LP common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program (as defined below). Additionally, we paid cash dividends of $39 million and used $3 million to repurchase stock from employees in connection with income tax withholding requirements associated with our employee stock-based compensation plans. In connection with other financing activities, we paid $2 million of debt issuance costs related to the amendment of our credit facility.
Credit Facility and Letter of Credit Facility
In November 2022, LP entered into a Credit Agreement with American AgCredit, PCA, as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, CoBank, ACB, as letter of credit issuer, and certain other lender parties (the Credit Agreement), relating to its revolving credit facility. On March 26, 2025, LP entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the First Amendment) with American AgCredit, PCA, as administrative agent, CoBank, ACB, as letter of credit issuer, and the lenders and voting participants party thereto, which amended the Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) to (1) increase the aggregate principal amount for the credit facility from $550 million to $750 million (the Amended Credit Facility), (2) increase the sub-limit for letters of credit from $60 million to $75 million, (3) change the interest rate for revolving borrowing, (4) change the capitalization ratio limit, and (5) extend the maturity date to March 26, 2032. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants and customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of our obligation to repay the indebtedness outstanding thereunder. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that, among other things, require us and our consolidated subsidiaries to have, as of the end of each quarter, a capitalization ratio (i.e., funded debt less unrestricted cash to total capitalization) of no more than 65%. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
29
In May 2024, LP entered into a new letter of credit facility agreement (the LOC Facility Agreement), replacing the letter of credit facility agreement dated May 2020. The LOC Facility Agreement provides for the funding of letters of credit up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $20 million, which may be secured by certain cash collateral of LP (the Letter of Credit Facility). The LOC Facility Agreement provides for a letter of credit fee, due quarterly, ranging from 1.000% to 1.875% of the daily available amount to be drawn on each letter of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. The LOC Facility Agreement contains similar affirmative, negative, and financial covenants as those set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, including the capitalization ratio covenant. All amounts outstanding under the Letter of Credit Facility become due on April 15, 2029. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Letter of Credit Facility.
Other Liquidity Matters
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2026, we had standby letters of credit of $15 million outstanding related to collateral for environmental impact on owned properties, a deposit for a forestry license, and insurance collateral, including workers’ compensation.
Potential Impairments
The carrying values of our long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairments, and adequate support is believed by management to exist for each asset’s carrying value based on anticipated cash flows derived from estimates of future demand, pricing, and production costs, assuming certain levels of planned capital expenditures. However, if demand and pricing for our products fall to levels significantly below cycle-average demand and pricing, should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for our mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required.
Potential changes to our strategic plans, including decisions regarding the continued use or disposition of specific assets, are also periodically evaluated, taking into account current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, and other relevant factors. Such decisions may require management to revise assumptions regarding expected future cash flows or estimated recoverable values. If revised estimates indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, impairment charges may be required.
No impairment was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates which could impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Risk
Each of our international operations has transactional foreign currency exposures related to buying and selling in currencies other than the local currencies in which it operates. Exposures are primarily related to the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real, the Chilean peso, and the Argentine peso. We also have translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Although we have in the past entered into foreign exchange contracts associated with certain of our indebtedness and may continue to enter into foreign exchange contracts associated with major equipment purchases to manage a portion of the foreign currency rate risk, we historically have not entered into currency rate hedges with respect to our exposure from operations, although we may do so in the future.
Commodity Price Risk
Some of our products are sold as commodities, and therefore sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control. The most significant commodity product we sell is OSB. There have been no material changes to the assumed production capacity and annual average price sensitivity for OSB previously disclosed under the caption “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We historically have not entered into material commodity futures and swaps, but we may do so in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
We could be exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates on our variable rate credit facility. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility. We do not currently have any derivative or hedging arrangements, or other known exposures, to changes in interest rates. There have been no material changes to the interest rate sensitivity analysis previously disclosed under the caption “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
31
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out, with the participation of the Company’s management, a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, LP’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter, ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
32
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The description of certain legal and environmental matters involving LP set forth in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q under “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The risks described in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
33
ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In May 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which LP was authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of its outstanding common stock (the 2024 Share Repurchase Program). We did not make any repurchases of LP common stock pursuant to the 2024 Share Repurchase Program or otherwise during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, we had an aggregate of $177 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. LP may initiate, discontinue, or resume purchases of its common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program in the open market, in block, and in privately negotiated transactions, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate without prior notice, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements, and other factors.
