NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “USD”), unless otherwise indicated.
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 of America. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. We account for unconsolidated VIEs using the equity method of accounting.
As a result of the investment in Dempsey on June 27, 2022, we own
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 28, 2024.
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 30, 2024 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Also, this ASU requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. Although the ASU only modifies our required income tax disclosures, we are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this new standard in 2024. Our disclosures required by the new standard have been provided and updated retrospectively for all periods presented. Refer to Note G — Segment Reporting.

C. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Within the
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.
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

In addition, on March 29, 2025, 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 29, 2025, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $
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. 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 29, 2025, we had approximately $
On March 29, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers and other third parties to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts and other legal agreements. As of March 29, 2025, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $
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 $
Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of UFP Industries, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 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 2025 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.
F. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

G. SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the chief executive officer, as he has the ultimate decision-making authority related to assessing the Company’s performance and allocating resources. The CODM assesses performance for our segments and decides how to allocate resources based on net sales, cost of goods sold, earnings from operations and net earnings. These metrics are also reported on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses earnings from operations and net earnings to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on investment) in determining wage increase allocations and bonus pools, and in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the business, such as for acquisitions, or to pay dividends.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging 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, Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations that 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 packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India, United Arab Emirates and Australia 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.
“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing and 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 service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates. Total assets in the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, and certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., UFP Transportation, Inc., and UFP Purchasing, Inc. Real estate activities are conducted by the real estate company on behalf of the segments, and capital expenditures associated with real estate are allocated to the segments.

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 and is determined using the weighted average cost method. 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. The lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments to inventory were not significant as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UFP Industries, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that design, manufacture, and supply products made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials to three segments: retail, packaging, and construction. Our business segments are functionally interdependent and are supported by common corporate services, such as accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, marketing, purchasing, transportation, legal and compliance, among others. We regularly invest in automation and implement best practices to improve the efficiency of our manufacturing facilities across each of the segments. The results and improvements from these investments are shared among the segments. This exchange of ideas drives faster innovation for new products, processes, and product improvements. While the majority of our facilities serve only one business segment, many of our larger facilities serve two or more segments.
We believe that our operating structure allows us to better evaluate market conditions and opportunities and more effectively allocate capital and resources to the appropriate segments and business units. Also, we believe our diversification and manner in which we operate our business provide an inherent hedge against the business cycles our end markets experience and over which we have limited control. Accordingly, we have the ability to provide more stable earnings and cash flows to our shareholders. Our diversification and operating practices also mitigate the impact that more volatile lumber market conditions have on traditional lumber companies. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. We do 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 currency and inflation; fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; changes in tariffs, import/export regulations, and other trade policies; concentration of sales to customers; the success of vertical integration strategies; excess capacity or supply chain challenges; our ability to make successful business acquisitions; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; adverse or unusual weather conditions; inbound and outbound transportation costs; alternatives to replace treated wood products; cybersecurity breaches; and potential pandemics. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in our reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW
Our results for the first quarter of 2025 include the following highlights:
● | Our net sales decreased 3% compared to the first quarter of 2024, which was comprised of a 1% decrease in selling prices and a 2% decrease in unit sales. The overall decrease in our selling prices is primarily due to more competitive pricing in our Site-Built and Structural Packaging business units. Organic unit sales changes consist of decreases of 4% in our retail segment and 3% in our packaging segment, partially offset by an increase of 3% in our construction segment. An acquired business contributed a 1% unit increase in our packaging segment. |
19
UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
● | Our gross profits decreased by $58 million, or 18%, compared to the same period of the prior year. By segment, gross profits decreased by $24 million in Construction, $16 million in Packaging, and $20 million in Retail. The overall decrease in our gross profits is primarily due to volume decreases in our Retail and Packaging segments, competitive pricing in our Site Built and Structural Packaging business units, and an increase in material costs in our ProWood, Structural Packaging and Pallet One business units. |
● | Our operating profits decreased $42 million, or 31%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The overall decrease is a result of the decrease in gross profits mentioned above partially offset by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Our SG&A decreased primarily due to bonus expense and other incentive compensation tied to profitability and return on investment. |
● | Our cash flows used in operations was $109 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $17 million during the first three months of 2024. The $92 million decline resulted from a decrease in net earnings and non-cash expenses of $37 million and an increase in our investment in net working capital since year end that was $55 million higher in the first three months of 2025 than it was in 2024. |
● | Our Cash and cash equivalents at the end of March 2025 was $904 million compared to $980 million at the end of March 2024. Our unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and a shelf agreement with certain lenders along with our cash resulted in total liquidity of approximately $2.2 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025. |

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
Higher overall lumber prices in 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily due to increased end market demand in the U.S. as well as various supply constraints. A change in lumber prices impacts profitability of products sold with fixed and variable prices, as discussed below. If recently proposed tariffs are enforced, which have been paused in Mexico and Canada, the demand for domestic product is expected to increase, which will likely increase costs as capacity gets challenged. Although the trade landscape continues to evolve, since we do not own any foreign sawmills and have excellent relationships with our mill partners, we believe we are currently in a strong position to adapt quickly to tariffs without material adverse financial impact after a short adjustment period. We will continue to monitor the market and make decisions quickly to minimize disruption. As of March 29, 2025, 84% of our lumber purchases are from domestic suppliers and 15% are imported from Canada and other international suppliers.
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 dollar sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 43.8% and 39.8% of our sales in the first three months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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). Additionally, as explained below, product categories can be 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.
● | 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. |
● | 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 customers’ needs and carry appropriate 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. As a result of the balance in our net sales to each of our end markets, we believe our gross profits are more stable than those of our competitors who are less diversified.
21
UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
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 includes treated lumber, which comprised approximately 21% of our total net sales in the first three months of 2025. 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 managed inventory programs with our vendors. We estimate that 14% of our total purchases for the first three months of 2025 were transacted under these programs. (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 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.

| 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 AND ASSET PURCHASES
We completed one business acquisition in fiscal 2024. The annual historical sales attributable to this acquisition are approximately $25 million. This business combination is not significant to our quarterly results and thus pro forma results for 2025 and 2024 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 following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percentage of gross profit. Over time, we believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A these strategies require. This ratio also mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices. The increase in the ratio of SG&A as a percentage of gross profit from the prior year is primarily due to the impact of competitive pricing and higher material costs, which has reduced our gross profits.

Operating Results by Segment:
Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging”) and UFP Construction (“Construction”), and align with the end markets we serve. Among other advantages, this structure allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach, 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, Packaging, and Construction segments. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India, and Australia 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, corporate ventures, 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.

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; for engineered wood components, structural lumber, and other products for factory-built and site-built residential and commercial construction; customized interior fixtures used in a variety of retail stores, commercial, and other structures; and structural 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 attributable to changes in overall selling prices versus changes in units shipped by segment. |

● | 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 in the Retail segment; structural and protective packaging and machine-built pallets sold in the Packaging segment; engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, manufactured and assembled concrete forms sold in the Construction segment; 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, metals and plastics sold in each of our segments. 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. We estimate that approximately 79% of our sales consist of products we manufacture at our locations, while 21% of our sales consist of products manufactured by suppliers that we inventory and distribute to customers. |
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales by our segments:

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
Our overall unit sales of value-added products were up 2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Our overall unit sales of commodity-based products decreased approximately 3% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
● | Developing new products. We define new products as those that will generate sales of at least $1 million per year within 4 years of launch and are still growing and gaining market penetration and meet our internal definition of value-added products. New product sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased 9%, primarily due to a decline in unit sales in our structural packaging business unit. Approximately $15.9 million of new product sales for the first three months of 2024, while they continue to be sold, were sunset in 2025 and excluded from the table below because they no longer meet the definition above. Our short-term goal is to achieve annual new product sales of at least $550 million in 2025. For the first three months of 2025, new product sales totaled $106 million. Our long-term goal is for new products to comprise at least 10% of our total net sales. |

Retail Segment
Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 3% compared to the same period of 2024 due to a 1% increase in selling prices and a 4% decrease in units. Unit changes within this segment consisted of decreases of 11% in Deckorators and 3% in ProWood. Our unit sales to big box customers, which we believe are more closely correlated with repair and remodel activity, decreased approximately 3%, while unit sales to independent retailers, which we believe are more closely correlated to new housing starts, decreased approximately 7%. Within our Deckorators business unit, our sales of wood-plastic composite decking, mineral-based-composite decking (sold under our new Surestone tradename) and railing systems decreased 14%. We believe our unit decline is due to a recent change in customer mix in which we lost market share with one big box customer and gained market share with another. For the remainder of the year we believe we will benefit from a modest net gain in market share as we begin stocking approximately 1,500 stores and continue to add capacity to produce our mineral-based composite decking. We expect to realize the full benefit of our net market share gain in 2026. Our long-term goal is to double our market share over the next 5 years.
27
UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
Gross profits decreased by $20 million, or 20% to $81 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. The change in gross profit was attributable to the following:
● | The gross profit of our ProWood business unit decreased by $12 million, primarily due to a decline in unit sales as a result of softer demand and an increase in material costs. The products sold by this business unit consist primarily of pressure treated lumber sold at a variable price indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped. |
● | The gross profit of our Deckorators business unit decreased by $4 million due to lower unit sales as a result of a temporary decline in demand due to a strategic shift in the business discussed above and unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs. |
SG&A remained flat in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, decreased approximately $5 million from the first quarter of 2024 and totaled approximately $9 million for the quarter. This decrease, along with other smaller decreases in various accounts, was substantially offset by an increase in advertising of $5 million related to Deckorators.
Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 by $20 million, or 43%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.
Packaging Segment
Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased 3% compared to the same period of 2024, due to a 1% decrease in selling prices and a 3% decrease in organic unit sales, partially offset by an acquired business which contributed to 1% unit growth. Organic unit changes consist of decreases of 1% in PalletOne and 5% in Structural Packaging, primarily due to a decline in demand, partially offset by growth of 13% in Protective Packaging due to market share gains. The decrease in selling prices is due to competitive price pressure primarily in our Structural Packaging business unit.
Gross profits decreased by $16 million, or 19%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. The change in gross profit was attributable to the following:
● | The gross profit of our structural packaging business unit decreased by a total of $11 million. The decline in gross profit is attributable to competitive price pressure and a decline in volume due to lower demand and an increase in material costs. |
● | The gross profit of our PalletOne business unit decreased by $5 million primarily due to competitive price pressure as a result of softer demand and an increase in material costs. |
● | The gross profit of our protective packaging business unit remained flat compared to last year. |
SG&A decreased by approximately $6 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, decreased approximately $2 million relative to the same period of 2024, and totaled $8 million for the quarter. The remaining decrease is attributable to other incentives which declined by $1 million for this quarter as well as many smaller decreases in several accounts.
Earnings from operations for the Packaging reportable segment decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 by $10 million, or 30%, due to the factors discussed above.
28
UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
Construction Segment
Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 remained flat compared to the same period of 2024 due to a 3% decrease in selling prices offset by a 3% organic unit increase. We experienced unit increases of 13% in factory-built, 4% in commercial construction, and 3% in concrete forming. Our growth in factory-built is primarily due to an increase in industry production. These increases were partially offset by a 5% decrease in site-built, primarily due to softer demand for housing. As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we estimate that our backlog of orders in our site-built construction business unit were $65 million and $79 million, respectively. The decrease in pricing was primarily due to competitive price pressure in our site-built business unit.
Gross profits decreased by $24 million, or 21%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The change in our gross profit was comprised of the following:
● | The gross profit of our site-built construction business unit decreased by $23 million, primarily due to a decline in unit sales and competitive price pressure due to softer demand. |
● | The gross profit of our commercial construction business unit decreased by $1 million due to increased labor and overhead costs associated with a plant closure and the transfer of volume to an existing plant, which temporarily increased costs. |
● | The gross profit of our factory-built business unit increased by $1 million due to an increase in unit sales, offset by an increase in material costs. |
● | The gross profit of our concrete-forming business unit remained flat. |
SG&A decreased by approximately $6 million, or 9%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Accrued bonus expense declined by $4 million and totaled $10 million for the quarter. The decline in SG&A was also attributable to other incentives and many smaller decreases in several accounts.
Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 by $18 million, or 39%, due to the factors mentioned above.
All Other Segment
Our All Other reportable segment consists of our International and Ardellis (our insurance captive) segments that are not significant.
Corporate
The corporate segment consists of over (under) allocated costs that are not significant.
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 21.1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 17.4% in the same period of 2024. The increase in our effective tax rate for the first quarter was primarily due to a decrease in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
We have no significant off-balance sheet transactions.

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, 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 that occurred many years ago. 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 typically increases during our first and second quarters resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we tend to 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 of payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle was 62 days during the first quarter of 2025 and in the same period of the prior year.

We continue to focus on past due account balances with customers, and the percentage of our accounts receivable that are current was 94% and 95% at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In the first three months of 2025, our cash flows used in operations were $109 million and were comprised of net earnings of $79 million, $51 million of non-cash expenses, and a $239 million increase in working capital since the end of December 2024. Our cash flows used in operations increased by $92 million compared to the same period of last year primarily due to the increase in our investment in net working capital since year end, which was $55 million higher in 2025 compared to 2024.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
Purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $67 million comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2025. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $153.4 million on March 29, 2025. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, primarily in our Packaging segment and our Site-Built and Deckorators business units, to achieve efficiencies through automation in all segments, and make improvements to a number of facilities. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year.
Cash flows used in financing activities during the first three months of 2025 primarily consisted of the following:
● | We repurchased 649,060 shares of our common stock for $70 million during the first three months of 2025 at an average price of $108.00 per share. Of this amount, 86,899 shares were repurchased in order to settle tax withholding obligations of long-term stock incentive plan participants’ awards which vested in February. The shares were purchased at an average price of $109.87 per share, totaling $10 million. |
● | Dividends paid during the first three months of 2025 were $21 million ($0.35 per share). |
On March 29, 2025, we had no amount outstanding on our $750 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $713 million in remaining availability after considering $37 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 29, 2025.
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, we had approximately $2.2 billion in total liquidity, consisting of our cash, remaining availability under our revolving credit facility, and a shelf agreement with certain lenders providing up to $575 million in remaining borrowing capacity.
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 28, 2024.
FORWARD OUTLOOK
Our long-term financial goals include:
● | Growing our annual unit sales by 7 to 10 percent (including smaller tuck-in acquisitions) with at least 10 percent of all sales coming from new products; |
● | Achieving and sustaining a 12.5 percent EBITDA margin by continuing to enhance our capabilities and grow our portfolio and sales of value-added products, expanding geographically in our higher margin business units, and achieving operating improvements; |
● | Earning an incremental return on new investment over our hurdle rate; and |
● | Maintaining a conservative capital structure. |

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
We believe improvements in demand in the end markets we serve and effectively executing our strategies will allow us to achieve our long-term goals. However, in the short-term, demand in our markets has contracted due to a variety of factors, which will continue to impact our results and vary depending on the severity and duration of this cycle. As a result of these more challenging conditions, we have developed and are executing plans to reduce or eliminate capacity of locations that are not meeting our profitability targets, exit business that does not meet our profitability targets, and reduce our SG&A costs. Our goal through these actions is to lower our cost structure and improve our operating profits by $60 million by year-end 2026. We anticipate benefits of approximately $40 million by the end of 2025, including approximately $26 million from planned SG&A cost reductions and $14 million from planned capacity reductions. In 2025 we anticipate these planned decreases will be offset a $20 million increase in advertising costs in our Deckorators business unit to build our Surestone brand and other increases primarily to pursue greenfield growth opportunities, technology improvements, and product innovation.
The following factors should be considered when evaluating our future prospects:
● | Lumber prices, which impact our cost of goods sold and selling prices, have normalized due to additional capacity added by sawmills and demand falling from peak levels. We anticipate lumber prices will remain near current levels, and experience more typical seasonal trends, until there is a substantial change in the balance of supply and demand. In the event higher duties on Canadian softwood lumber and new tariffs are enacted on imports generally, we anticipate lumber prices will increase accordingly. We believe we are currently in a strong position to adapt quickly to duties and tariffs without a material adverse financial impact after a short adjustment period. However, a widespread increase in tariffs may adversely impact demand in the markets we serve. |
● | Retail sales accounted for 38% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. When evaluating future demand for the segment, we analyze data such as the same-store sales growth of national home improvement retailers and forecasts of home remodeling activity. Based on this data, we currently anticipate market demand to be slightly down for the remainder of 2025. |
● | Packaging sales accounted for 26% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. When evaluating future demand, we consider a number of metrics, including the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), durable goods manufacturing, and U.S. real GDP. We currently believe overall demand in the markets we serve to be slightly down for the remainder of 2025. |
● | Construction sales accounted for 32% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. |
- | The site-built business unit accounted for approximately 12% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. Approximately one-third of site-built customers are multifamily builders. The industry consensus estimate of national housing starts for 2025 is 1.36 million, with estimates generally predicting slightly positive to slightly negative growth in the coming year with single-family generally performing better than multi-family. We anticipate demand in the regions we operate to be slightly down for the remainder of 2025. |
- | The factory-built housing business unit accounted for 14% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from production and shipments of manufactured housing. We currently believe overall demand will be slightly up for the remainder of 2025. |
- | The commercial construction and concrete forming business units accounted for approximately 7% of our net sales for the first three months of 2025. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from non-residential construction spending. We anticipate overall demand in these business units to be slightly down for the remainder of 2025. |

Capital Allocation:
We believe the strength of our cash flow generation and conservative capital structure provide us with sufficient resources to grow our business and also fund returns to our shareholders. We plan to continue to pursue a balanced and return-driven approach to capital allocation across dividends, share buybacks, capital investments and acquisitions. Specifically:
● | On April 23, 2025, our board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, which represents a 6% year over year increase. This dividend is payable on June 16, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 2, 2025. We continue to consider our payout ratio and yield when determining the appropriate dividend rate and have a long-term objective of increasing our dividend in line with our earnings growth. |
● | On April 23, 2025, our board authorized the amendment of its share repurchase authorization, dated July 24, 2024, from up to $200 million of shares through July 31, 2025, to $300 million through the same period. Our objective is to repurchase our stock at sufficient amounts to offset issuances under our share-based compensation plans. In addition, we will opportunistically buy shares when the price trades at pre-determined levels. Through May 5, 2025, we have approximately $108 million of remaining availability under this authorization. |
● | Our targeted range for capital expenditures for 2025 is $300-$350 million, which will continue to be impacted by extended lead times required for most equipment and rolling stock as well as the time required for site selection in the case of investments in new locations. Priority continues to be given to projects that enhance the working environments of our plants and take advantage of automation opportunities and drive strategies that have strong long-term growth potential for new and value-added products. Approximately $167 million in capital projects have been approved so far in 2025 and another $87 million are pending approval. |
● | We continue to pursue a healthy pipeline of acquisition opportunities of companies that are a strong strategic fit and enhance our capabilities while providing higher margin, return, and growth potential. |
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 enter into any material interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
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 are 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, tariffs and trade policies, 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 have been immaterial to the financial statements.
