NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August, which historically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. For comparative purposes, we have included the March 27, 2021 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

B. FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

From the assets measured at fair value as of March 26, 2022, listed in the table above, $35.4 million of mutual funds, equity securities, and alternative investments are held in Investments, $9.0 million of money market funds are held in Cash and Cash Equivalents, $0.7 million of money market and mutual funds are held in Other Assets for our deferred compensation plan, and $18.7 million of fixed income funds and $0.7 million of money markets funds are held in Restricted Investments.

We maintain money market, mutual funds, bonds, and/or equity securities in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, our wholly owned licensed captive insurance company, and assets held in financial institutions. These funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are included in “Cash and Cash Equivalents”, “Investments”, “Other Assets”, and “Restricted Investments”. We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

In accordance with our investment policy, our wholly-owned captive, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. (“Ardellis”), maintains an investment portfolio, totaling $54.2 million as of March 26, 2022, which has been included in the aforementioned table of total investments. This portfolio consists of domestic and international equity securities, alternative investments, and fixed income bonds.

Ardellis’ available for sale investment portfolio, including funds held with the State of Michigan, consists of the following (in thousands):


	March 26, 2022						March 27, 2021

Total	$	47,158	$	7,056	$	54,214	$	41,229	$	6,720	$	47,949

Our fixed income investments consist of a blend of US Government and Agency bonds and investment grade corporate bonds with varying maturities. Our equity investments consist of small, mid, and large cap growth and value funds, as well as international equity. Our mutual fund investments consist of domestic and international stock. Our alternative investments consist of a private real estate income trust which is valued as a Level 3 asset. The net unrealized gain of the portfolio was $7.1 million. Carrying amounts above are recorded in the investments and restricted investments line items within the balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021.

C. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Within the three primary segments (Retail, Industrial, and Construction) that the Company operates, there are a variety of written agreements governing the sale of our products and services. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.

Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a third party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If we use a third party for installation, the party will act as an agent to us until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of our total net sales.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

We utilize rebates, credits, discounts and/or cash-based incentives with certain customers which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The allocation of these costs are applied at the invoice level and recognized in conjunction with revenue. Additionally, returns and refunds are estimated on a historical and expected basis which is a reduction of revenue recognized.

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using over time accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations, which is in accordance with ASC 606 as revenue is recognized when certain performance obligations are performed. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs. Under over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced relative to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price, and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

The following table presents our net sales disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):

E. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

In addition, on March 26, 2022, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On March 26, 2022, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $68.7 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances, we are required to post payment and performance bonds to ensure the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims properly made against these bonds. As of March 26, 2022, we had approximately $30.0 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $11.1 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On March 26, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $51.7 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. As of March 26, 2022, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $44.6 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $7.1 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of UFP Industries, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2012, 2018 and 2020 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the first quarter of 2022 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

G. SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Industrial and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Industrial, and Construction segments. In the case of locations which serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, India, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.

H. INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for foreign, state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 24.0% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 23.3% for same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to one-time tax credit refunds recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2021 that are not available in 2022.

J. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on a weighted average FIFO basis. Raw materials consist primarily of unfinished wood products and other materials expected to be manufactured or treated prior to sale, while finished goods represent various manufactured and treated wood products ready for sale.

We write down the value of inventory, the impact of which is reflected in cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, if the cost of specific inventory items on hand exceeds the amount we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. These estimates are based on management's judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience. There were no lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments to inventory as of March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021.

K. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2022, we added $500 million of borrowing capacity by entering into a shelf facility with multiple lenders to support future growth. No amounts have been drawn on this facility.

Additionally in April 2022, we repurchased approximately 756,000 shares for $58.5 million, at an average share price of $77.40.

The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations, government imposed “stay at home” orders and directives to cease or curtail operations; and our ability to make successful business acquisitions. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of the first quarter of 2022.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the first quarter of 2022 include the following highlights:

●

Our net sales were up 36% compared to the first quarter of 2021, which was comprised of a 26% increase in selling prices primarily due to the commodity lumber market (see Historical Lumber Prices below), a 7% increase in unit sales due to acquisitions completed since March of last year, and a 3% increase in organic unit sales. Organic unit growth of 14% in our construction segment was offset by an organic unit decline of 2% in our retail segment and 4% in our industrial segment.

●

Our operating profits increased $121.5 million, or 88%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase resulted from a variety of factors including improved leveraging of our fixed costs, the impact of rising lumber prices on the selling prices of commodity-based products sold on a variable price formula, and growth of our new and value-added products which have higher gross margins. In addition, our ability to effectively include lumber and other cost increases in the selling prices of our products as well as value-based selling practices has enabled us to maintain our profit per unit. Acquisitions contributed approximately $10.3 million to our increase in operating profits. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, gross profits increased by $176 million and we estimate that value-added and commodity-based products contributed $133 million and $43 million, respectively, to this increase.

●

Our cash flows used by operations for the first three months of 2022 increased to $245 million compared to $197 million during the first three months of 2021, primarily due to an increased investment in net working capital of $148 million, offset by an increase in net earnings and non-cash expenses of $100 million. The increase in our net working capital requirements during the first quarter of 2022 was due to higher lumber prices, growth in our business, and an increase in our days supply of inventory to ensure we meet the delivery expectations of our customers.

●

Our net debt (debt and cash overdraft less cash) at the end of March 2022 was $410 million compared to $429 million at the end of March 2021. Our unused borrowing capacity under revolving credit facilities and cash surplus resulted in total liquidity of approximately $445.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

HISTORICAL LUMBER PRICES

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (“Lumber Market”). The following table presents the Random Lengths framing lumber composite price:


	Random Lengths Composite
	Average $/MBF
	2022			2021
January	$	1,112		$	890
February		1,225			954
March		1,321			1,035

First quarter average	$	1,219		$	960
First quarter percentage change		27.0	%

In addition, a Southern Yellow Pine (“SYP”) composite price, which we prepare and use, is presented below. Our purchases of this species comprise almost two-thirds of our total lumber purchases.


	Southern Yellow Pine
	Average $/MBF
	2022			2021
January	$	1,010		$	858
February		1,115			903
March		1,198			938

First quarter average	$	1,108		$	900
First quarter percentage change		23.1	%

The sequential increase in overall lumber prices for the first quarter of the year was primarily due to strong market demand as well as certain constraints in the supply chain of lumber. A change in lumber prices impacts our profitability of products sold with fixed and variable prices, as discussed below.

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 61.4% and 63.1% of our sales in the first three months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease from the prior year ratio reflects an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products as well as our value-based selling practices.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

●

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products, such as manufactured items, sold within all segments. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time. In order to reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers or purchase necessary inventory for these sales commitments. The time period limitation eventually allows us to periodically re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers. We believe our percentage of sales of fixed price items is usually greatest in our third and fourth quarters.

●

Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar “adder” to cover conversion costs and profit. These products primarily include treated lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers’ needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. We believe our sales of these products are at their highest relative level in our second quarter, primarily due to pressure-treated lumber sold in our retail segment.

For each of the product pricing categories above, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

The greatest risk associated with changes in the trend of lumber prices is on the following products:

●

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprised approximately 16% of our total annual sales in 2021. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing market due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through inventory consignment programs with our vendors. Our new Sunbelt and Spartanburg Forest Products plants began participating in these consignment programs in 2022, and we estimate that 24.2% of their inventory was consigned with vendors. (Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.)

●

Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices and longer vendor commitments.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.


	Period 1			Period 2
Lumber cost	$	300		$	400
Conversion cost		50			50
= Product cost		350			450
Adder		50			50
= Sell price	$	400		$	500
Gross margin		12.5	%		10.0	%

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits but does impact our margins. Gross margins and operating margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed one business acquisition during the first three months of fiscal 2022 and nine during all of fiscal 2021. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first three months of fiscal 2022 is approximately $85 million, while acquisitions completed during the last nine months of 2021 have annual sales of approximately $626 million. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2022 and 2021 are not presented.

As a result of the impact of the level of lumber prices on the percentages displayed in the table above (see Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results), we believe it is useful to compare our change in units sold with our change in gross profits, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and operating profits as presented in the following table. The percentages displayed below represent the percentage change from the prior year comparable period.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percentage of gross profit. Given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering, and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A costs these strategies require, we believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs and mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices.

Operating Results by Segment:

Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Industrial and UFP Construction, and align with the end markets we serve. Among other things, this structure allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, more efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Industrial, and Construction segments. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) are included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes purchasing, transportation and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consists of over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases, and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. Inter-company lease and services charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates.

The following tables present our operating results, for the periods indicated, by segment (in thousands).

NET SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products, primarily used to enhance outdoor living environments, for national home centers and other retailers, structural lumber and other products for the manufactured housing industry, engineered wood components for residential and commercial construction, customized interior fixtures used in a variety of retail stores, commercial, and other structures, and specialty wood packaging, components and packing materials for various industries. Our strategic long-term sales objectives include:

●	Maximizing unit sales growth while achieving return on investment goals. The following table presents estimates, for the periods indicated, of our percentage change in net sales which were attributable to changes in overall selling prices versus changes in units shipped.


	% Change
	in Sales		in Selling Prices		in Units		Acquisition Unit Change		Organic Unit Change
First quarter 2022 versus First quarter 2021	36.4	%	26.4	%	10.0	%	6.8	%	3.2	%

●

Diversifying our end market sales mix by increasing sales of structural wood and protective packaging to industrial users, increasing our penetration of the concrete forming market, increasing our sales of engineered wood components for custom home, multi-family, military and light commercial construction, and increasing our market share with independent retailers.

●	Expanding geographically in our core businesses, domestically and internationally.

●

Increasing our sales of "value-added" products and enhancing our product offering with new or improved products. Value-added products generally consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold to the retail market, structural wood packaging, engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, manufactured and assembled concrete forms, and "wood alternative" products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist of products manufactured with wood and non-wood composites, metal, and plastics. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber and panels with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber is not presently included in the value-added sales totals. Remanufactured lumber and panels that are components of finished goods are also generally categorized as “commodity-based” products.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales by our segments:


	Three Months Ended March 26, 2022				Three Months Ended March 27, 2021
	Value-Added		Commodity-Based		Value-Added		Commodity-Based
Retail	40.8	%	59.2	%	44.5	%	55.5	%
Industrial	67.8	%	32.2	%	66.9	%	33.1	%
Construction	72.4	%	27.6	%	68.9	%	31.1	%
All Other and Corporate	72.4	%	27.6	%	71.3	%	28.7	%
Total Sales	58.4	%	41.6	%	58.2	%	41.8	%

Note: Certain prior year product reclassifications and the change in designation of certain products as "value-added" resulted in a change in prior year's sales.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

The increase in our ratio of commodity-based product sales to total sales in the retail segment reflected in the table above is primarily due to the impact of higher lumber prices in the first quarter of 2022 as the selling prices of these products are generally indexed to the current Lumber Market at the time they are shipped and lumber costs comprise a much higher percentage of the selling price than they do for value-added products. The acquisition of Spartanburg also contributed to the increase in commodity-based sales of treated lumber in our retail segment. Our overall unit sales of value-added products increased approximately 6% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, including a 3% contribution from acquisitions and 3% organic growth. Our unit sales of commodity-based products increased approximately 15%, including a 12% contribution from acquisitions and 3% organic growth.

●

Developing new products. We define new products as those that will generate sales of at least a $1 million per year within 4 years of launch and are still growing and gaining market penetration. New product sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 58%. Approximately $80 million of new product sales for the first three months of 2021, while still sold, were sunset in 2022 and excluded from the table below because they no longer meet the definition above. Our goal is to achieve annual new product sales of at least $525 million in 2022.

The table below presents new product sales in thousands:


	New Product Sales by Segment

Total New Product Sales		150,902		95,209	58.5	%

Note: Certain prior year product reclassifications and the change in designation of certain products as "new" resulted in a change in prior year's sales.

Retail Segment

Net sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased by 31% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 19% increase in selling prices, acquisition unit growth of 12%, a 3% decrease due to the transfer of certain sales to the Construction segment, and an organic unit increase of 1%. We experienced organic unit growth in our UFP Edge (7%) and Retail Building Products (4%) business units. These increases were offset by organic unit decreases in our Sunbelt (3%), ProWood (2%), Deckorators (7%), Handprint (21%), and Outdoor Essentials (2%) business units. Our Deckorators business unit includes a variety of other products besides composite decking. Sales of accessories, such as plastic lattice, post caps, and balusters, reported a decline of 13%, while our composite decking unit sales increased by 5%. Capacity expansion contributed to our unit increases in Deckorators decking and UFP Edge, and we believe the investments we’ve made in these business units will add planned sales of nearly $100 million to the Retail segment in 2022. Finally, sales to big box customers were up 30%, while sales to independent retailers increased 31%.

Gross profits increased by $33.9 million, or 33.7% to $134.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Our increase in gross profit was attributable to the following:

●

Acquired operations contributed $12 million to the increase in gross profits.

●

The gross profits of our Sunbelt and ProWood business units increased by a total of $12.1 million, primarily due to the favorable trend of rising lumber prices as the selling prices of these products are primarily determined on a variable price formula.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

●

Our UFP Edge and Retail Building Products business units contributed $8 million to the increase in gross profits.

●

Deckorators contributed $3 million to the increase in gross profits.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $15.6 million, or 33.1%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The SG&A of recently acquired businesses contributed $2.6 million to the change in SG&A. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximtely $6.7 million and totaled approximately $20.7 million for the quarter. The remaining change was primarily due to increases in salaries and wages of $2.9 million, travel related expenses of $0.8 million, and sales incentive compensation of $0.6 million.

Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 by $17.8 million, or 33%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.

Industrial Segment

Net sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 36% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 39% increase in selling prices, acquisition unit growth of 1%, and a 4% decrease in organic unit sales. The increase in our selling prices is a result of increases in lumber and other operating costs we’ve been able to pass on to customers, executing value-based selling initiatives, and maintaining pricing discipline as we operate in an environment of elevated demand and capacity constraints. The components of our change in organic unit sales includes market share gains associated with $36 million in sales to new customers, $18 million of sales to new locations of existing customers, and $22 million of new product sales. These gains were offset by the loss of unit sales on less profitable accounts.

Gross profits increased by $69.2 million, or 86.2%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Acquisitions contributed $1.7 million to the increase in gross profit. The remaining increase is a result of the pricing increases discussed above as well as favorable changes in our value-added sales mix. Excluding acquisitions, we estimate that value-added and commodity-based products contributed $49.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively, to the increase in gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $27.1 million, or 67.6%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2021 contributed approximately $1.3 million to our increase in costs. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $13.0 million, and totaled $23.7 million for the quarter. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in sales incentive compensation of $4.7 million, salaries and wages of $2.7 million, bed debt expense of $1.7 million, and travel related expenses of $0.7 million.

Earnings from operations for the Industrial reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 by $42.0 million, or 103.9%, due to the factors discussed above.

Construction Segment

Net sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 41% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 26% increase in selling prices, 3% due to the transfer of certain sales from the Retail segment, organic unit sales growth of 11%, and 1% growth from recent acquisitions. Organic unit changes within this segment consisted of increases of 30% in commercial construction, 16% in factory-built housing, 1% in site-built construction, and 13% in concrete forming. As of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we estimate that backlog orders associated with commercial construction approximated $93.0 million and $84.6 million, respectively. As of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we estimate that backlog orders associated with site-built construction approximated $141 million and $113.5 million, respectively. We expect that the orders above will be primarily filled within the next fiscal year; however, it is possible that some orders could be canceled.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Gross profits increased by $73.0 million, or 82.0%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:

●

Gross profits in our site-built construction business unit increased by $36.2 million as a result of being more selective in the business that we take during this period of elevated demand and capacity constraints. As a result, our profit per unit has improved.

●

Gross profits in our factory-built housing business unit increased $25.2 million as a result of increased unit sales and leveraging fixed costs.

●

The gross profit of our concrete forming business unit increased by $8.5 million, including $3.8 million as a result of the transfer of sales from the Retail segment.

●

The gross profit of our commercial construction business unit increased $2.2 million as a result of increased unit sales, better productivity and other operational improvements, and improved pricing discipline.

●

Acquired businesses contributed $0.9 million.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $26.8 million, or 48.2%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2021 contributed approximately $0.9 million to total SG&A expenses for the quarter. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $13.7 million, and totaled $22.7 million for the quarter. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in sales incentive compensation of $5.0 million, salaries and wages of $1.9 million, bad debt expense of $1.4 million, and travel related expenses of $0.6 million.

Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 by $45.8 million, or 138.7%, due to the factors mentioned above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, a summary of our cash flow statement (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 26,		March 27,
	2022		2021
Cash used in operating activities	$	(245,031)	$	(196,660)
Cash used in investing activities		(59,736)		(296,498)
Cash from financing activities		86,330		101,927
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		1,726		(349)
Net change in all cash and cash equivalents		(216,711)		(391,580)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, beginning of period		291,223		436,608
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, end of period	$	74,512	$	45,028

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season which occurs during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters which typically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we typically experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle increased to 53 days from 48 days during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period.


	Three Months Ended
	March 26,		March 27,
	2022		2021
Days of sales outstanding		32		30
Days supply of inventory		41		38
Days payables outstanding		(20)		(20)
Days in cash cycle		53		48

The increase in our days supply of inventory in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a four day increase in our days supply of inventory to ensure we meet the delivery expectations or our customers and a one day increase in our receivables cycle.

In the first three months of 2022, our cash consumed by operating activities was $245.0 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $193.1 million and $35.4 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $473.5 million increase in working capital since the end of December 2021. Our cash flows used by operations increased by $48.4 million compared to the same period of last year primarily due to an increase in our investment in net working capital of $148.4 million compared to the prior year period, offset by an increase in our net earnings and non-cash expenses of $100.0 million. The increase in net working capital was due to higher lumber prices. the growth of our business, and an increase in our days supply of inventory.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment and acquisitions (refer to Note F for Business Combinations) and comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2022 and totaled $32.1 million and $24.6 million, respectively. Total proceeds from the sales of property, plant, and equipment were $1.2 million. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $68.7 million on March 26, 2022. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, achieve efficiencies through automation, make improvements to a number of facilities, and increase our transportation capacity (tractors, trailers) in order to meet higher volumes and replace old rolling stock. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year. We currently plan to spend between $175 million to $225 million on capital projects for the year with variability due to uncertainty about supplier lead times. Notable areas of capital spending include projects to increase the capacity and efficiency of our plants that produce our Deckorators mineral-based composite and wood-plastic composite decking and our UFP Edge siding, pattern and trim products, expand the capacity of machine-built pallet and site-built business units, and take advantage of automation opportunities.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of net borrowings of debt of approximately $101.5 million, the payment of quarterly dividends totaling $12.5 million ($0.20 per share), cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $0.5 million, and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $2.1 million. On April 20, 2022, our board of directors approved an increase in our second quarter dividend to $0.25 per share, payable on June 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on June 1, 2022. Additionally, in April 2022, we repurchased approximately 756,000 shares for $58.5 million, at an average share price of $77.40.

On March 26, 2022, we had $109.7 million outstanding on our $550 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $433.2 million in remaining availability after considering $7.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on March 26, 2022.

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, we have approximately $445.3 million in total liquidity, consisting of our net cash surplus and remaining availability under our revolving credit facility. As lumber prices normalize and we move beyond our peak selling season we anticipate the increase in net working capital will turn into strong operating cash flow in the third and fourth quarters.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS

See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note E, “Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 25, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the “Lumber Market”). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in their local currency, which is their functional currency, compared to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, certain of our operations enter into transactions that will be settled in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar. We may enter into forward foreign exchange rate contracts in the future to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk. Historically, our hedge contracts are deemed immaterial to the financial statements, however any material hedge contract in the future will be disclosed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the participation of management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e) as of the quarter ended March 26, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended March 26, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
