Outlook

Our 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."

Siding Solutions full year 2023 revenue is expected to decrease year-over-year by approximately 10%
OSB third quarter 2023 revenue is expected to be sequentially higher than the second quarter 2023 by at least 50%, assuming that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on July 28, 2023 (this is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast)
Under these assumptions, third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ is expected to be in the range of $160 million and $180 million
Given our current outlook, capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to be in the range of $290 million to $310 million, including $120 million to $130 million for mill conversions, $120 million to $125 million for sustaining maintenance, and $50 million to $55 million for other strategic growth projects

(2)

This is a non-GAAP financial measure. With respect to Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023, certain items that affect net income on a GAAP basis, such as business exit 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 GAAP measures cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, and LP is unable to quantify such amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort. As such, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP net income, or a corresponding reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 decreased year-over-year by $519 million (or 46%). This included a decrease in OSB segment revenue of $444 million or 66%, driven by 57% lower average selling prices and 21% lower volumes. Siding segment revenue decreased $37 million or 10%, due to 16% lower volume offset by 6% higher prices. The remaining decrease in net sales was related to decreases in South America segment and other revenue of $18 million and $20 million, respectively.

Income (loss) attributed to LP from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2023 decrease year-over-year by $367 million (or 106%) to $(20) million, or $(0.28) per diluted share. This primarily reflects a $398 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, $34 million of business exit charges (of which, $30 million were non-cash charges) related to an off-site framing operation (Entekra Holdings, LLC), and $16 million of settlements of OSB patent-related claims, partially offset by a $95 million lower income tax provision.

First Six Months of 2023 Highlights

Net sales for the first six months of 2023 decreased year-over-year by $1,102 million (or 48%). This included a decrease in OSB revenue of $998 million or 70%, due to 61% lower prices and 24% lower volume. Siding segment revenue decreased $38 million or 5%, due to 13% lower volume offset by 8% higher prices. The remaining decrease in net sales was related to decreases in South America segment and other revenue of $29 million and $38 million, respectively.

Income attributed to LP from continuing operations for the first six months of 2023 decreased year-over-year by $768 million (or 100%) to $1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The decrease primarily reflects a $930 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, $34 million of business exit charges (of which, $30 million were non-cash charges) related to an off-site framing operation (Entekra Holdings, LLC), and $16 million of settlements of OSB patent-related claims, partially offset by a $218 million lower income tax provision.

The effects of list price increases drove year-over-year increases in the average net selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The volume decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were driven by challenging new and existing home selling markets and elevated levels of channel inventory compared to the prior periods.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year by $19 million in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the net impact of lower volumes, $6 million of raw material inflation, and $6 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill conversions and sales and marketing costs, partially offset by higher average selling prices. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflects the net impact of lower volumes, $20 million of raw material inflation, and $9 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill conversions and sales and marketing costs, partially offset by higher average selling prices.
