Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- 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.
- We cannot predict whether the prices of our OSB products will remain at current levels or fluctuate in the future.
- 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 OEE.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
