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 28, 2019.

On April 22, 2020, ~~the~~our shareholders approved changing the name of the Company from Universal Forest Products, Inc., to UFP Industries, Inc.

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 ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide ~~which subsequently resulted in a variety of “stay at home” orders issued by states in which we operate. As of the date of this filing,~~ ~~the majority of our customers and operations have been deemed to be essential businesses under these state orders.~~ ~~Consequently, all but 3 of our 150 plant locations remain operating.~~. We cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic and government restrictions on business activity, or the extent to which these restrictions may materially impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows in fiscal 2020.

C. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Within the 3 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 3^rd party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If the Company uses a 3^rd party for installation, the party will act as an agent to the Company until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of the Company’s total sales.

The Company utilizes 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 related 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 related 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.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

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 gross revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

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.

We own and operate a number of facilities throughout the United States that chemically treat lumber products. In connection with the ownership and operation of these and other real properties, and the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may, under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, be potentially liable for removal and remediation costs, as well as other potential costs, damages, and expenses. Environmental reserves, calculated with no discount rate, have been established to cover remediation activities at wood preservation facilities in Stockertown, PA; Elizabeth City, NC; and Auburndale, FL. In addition, a reserve was established for our facility in Thornton, CA to remove certain lead containing materials which existed on the property at the time of purchase.

On a consolidated basis, we have reserved approximately $1.9 million on ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 and $2.0 million on ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2019, respectively, representing the estimated costs to complete future remediation efforts. These amounts have not been reduced by an insurance receivable.

In addition, on ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, 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 ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately ~~$23.0~~$21.3 million.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

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 ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had approximately ~~$6.8~~$7.0 million outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately ~~$8.6~~$7.6 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling ~~$37.3~~$43.8 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

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 ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately ~~$27.5~~$33.8 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 $9.8 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 ~~2018~~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 ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

G. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company re-organized around the markets it serves rather than geography. The prior periods have been recast to reflect the new segment structure. The business segments align with the following markets: UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Construction and UFP Industrial. This change 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. The Company manages the operations of its 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 the Company’s International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world.

Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

~~Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) have been 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 and leases transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. An inter-company lease charge is assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets at fair market value rates. Total assets of the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., and UFP Transportation Ltd.

During the second quarter of 2020, management retrospectively reallocated certain inter-company charges from Corporate to their respective segments to better assess segment profitability. Prior year information in these tables has been restated to reflect these changes.

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 ~~second~~third quarter of 2020.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 include the following highlights:

●

Our net sales were ~~flat~~up 28% compared to the ~~second~~third quarter of 2019, which was comprised of a 3%20% increase in selling prices primarily due to the commodity lumber market (see Historical Lumber Prices below) and an 8% increase in unit sales. The unit sales of our retail segment increased 34% due to an increase in consumer demand and home improvement activities. We believe that this increase is largely attributable to the impact of the pandemic on consumer behavior. This increase was offset by ~~a 3% decrease~~our industrial and construction segments, which declined 2% and 9%, respectively, as our customers in ~~unit sales due~~these segments continue to ~~a decline in demand in two of our segments~~recover from the government-imposed shutdowns resulting from the pandemic. Unit sales to our construction and industrial segments declined 16% and 27%, respectively, which was offset by unit sales growth to our retail segment of 22% as “stay at home orders” prompted consumers to initiate more home improvement activities.

●

Our operating profits increased ~~24% in spite~~51% compared to the third quarter of ~~a 3% decline in our unit sales.~~2019. The improvement in our profitability was driven by a number of factors, including strong organic growth in our retail segment and ~~effective~~effectively leveraging of fixed costs and the impact of rising lumber prices on the selling prices of commodity-based products such as our ProWood pressure-treated products. These products ~~which~~ are sold on a variable price formula tied to the Lumber Market. See Historical Lumber Prices and Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results below.

●

Our cash flow from operations for the first six months of 2020 increased to $147 million from $71 million last year due to a $24 million increase in net earnings and non-cash expenses and a $52 million decrease in our net working capital since year end. The decrease in net working capital was primarily due to an increase in our accrued liabilities, particularly our accrued income taxes.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

●

Our cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2020 decreased to $185 million from $198 million last year as our net working capital increased by $60 million since the end of 2019. Conversely, our net working capital decreased by $3 million by the end of the first nine months last year. The increase in net working capital at the end of the third quarter of 2020 was due to unusually high lumber prices and retail market demand, which continued to be strong through the end of the quarter and drove an increase in our accounts receivable.

●

As a result of our strong operating cash flow, our cash surplus exceeded our debt by ~~almost $37~~approximately $32 million at the end of the ~~June~~September 2020.

●

Our available borrowing capacity under revolving credit facilities and cash surplus resulted in total liquidity of approximately ~~$562~~$700 million at the end of ~~June~~September 2020. In August of 2020 we issued $150 million of long-term debt to finance our future growth. The average maturity of the notes is 13 years and have an average fixed rate of interest at 3.09%.

The sequential increase in lumber prices above is due to a combination of mill production curtailments and demand for lumber much higher than expectations.

~~Table~~ We anticipate lumber prices will normalize to lower levels during the fourth quarter, which will impact our profitability of ~~Contents~~products sold with fixed and variable prices as discussed below.

~~UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.~~

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 ~~44.1%~~48.7% and ~~43.4%~~42.6% of our sales in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 and 2019, 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). 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.

●

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 greatest in our third and fourth quarters.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

●

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 to the retail market.

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 comprises approximately ~~19%~~21% of our total sales. 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. (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.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.~~

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 are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low. In order to more effectively evaluate our profitability in such periods, we believe it is useful to compare our change in units shipped with our changes in costs and profits.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed ~~one~~two business ~~acquisition~~acquisitions during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 and three during all of 2019. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 and all of 2019 were approximately ~~$22~~$38 million and ~~$32~~$37 million, respectively. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2020 and 2019 are not presented.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the components of our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a percentage of net sales, adjusted to restate 2020 net sales and cost of goods sold at prior year lumber prices. The restated net sales amounts were calculated by adjusting 2020 sales for the change in our selling prices resulting primarily from underlying movements in commodity lumber prices in 2020 from 2019. By eliminating the “pass-through” impact of higher or lower lumber prices on net sales and cost of goods sold from year to year, we believe this provides an enhanced view of our change in profitability and costs as a percentage of sales. The amount of the adjustment to 2020 net sales was also applied to cost of goods sold so that gross profit remains unchanged.

Operating Results by Segment:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company re-organized around the markets it serves rather than geography. Our new business segments align with the following markets: UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Construction and UFP Industrial. ~~This~~Among other things, this change 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. The Company manages the operations of its 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 the Company’s International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) have been 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 and leases transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. An inter-company lease charge is assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets at fair market value rates.

NET SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products 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 and commercial applications, and specialty wood packaging, components and packaging materials for various industries. Our strategic long-term sales objectives generally include:

●

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, specialty wood packaging, engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, and "wood alternative" products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist primarily of composite wood 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.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total net sales by our primary segments (Retail, Industrial, and Construction). Value-added products are typically sold at fixed selling prices for a pre-determined time period and carry higher gross margins than our commodity-based products. The increase in our ratio of commodity-based product sales to total sales reflected in the tables below is primarily due to the impact of dramatically higher lumber prices in the third quarter of 2020 as the selling prices of these products are generally indexed to the current Lumber Market at the time they are shipped. For example, a majority of our commodity-based sales are sold through our ProWood business unit and selling prices were up 66% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Also, our Industrial and Construction segments primarily sell value-added products and their unit sales were down 2% and 9% from last year, respectively.

Developing new products. ~~New~~We define new products ~~are defined~~ as ~~products~~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 and gross profits in the ~~second~~third quarter were up 6%41% and ~~13%~~27%, respectively. Approximately ~~$24~~$37 million and ~~$66~~$103 million of new product sales for the first three and ~~six~~nine months of 2019, respectively, while still sold, were sunset in 2020 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 $475 million in 2020.

~~Selling to new customers and markets.~~

Retail Segment

Net sales in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 increased approximately ~~26%~~76% compared to the same period of 2019, due to a ~~22%~~34% increase in organic unit sales and a 4%42% increase in selling prices. ~~Acquired operations contributed 1% to our unit sales growth, and our organic unit sales growth was 21%.~~ Our organic unit growth was primarily driven by a ~~27% increase of our ProWood pressure-treated products, a 23% increase in Outdoor Essentials Fence, Lawn & Garden products, and a 72%~~57% increase in our Dimensions Home & Décor products including project panels and short ~~lumber.~~lumber, a 50% increase in Deckorators composite decking and railing, a 30% increase in our ProWood pressure-treated products, and a 28% increase in Outdoor Essentials Fence, Lawn & Garden products. Our new product sales contributed to these increases and were up ~~15.5%~~59% for the quarter. Finally, our sales to big box customers increased ~~33%~~80%, and sales to other independent retailers increased ~~13%~~71%. Our unit sales increases were primarily due to an increase in demand as consumers invested in home improvement activities over other alternatives. We believe that the pandemic and related disruptions in the lives of consumers contributed to this increase in demand.

Gross profits increased by ~~50.7%~~$61.8 million, or 140.9% to ~~$83.3~~$105.6 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period last year as gross margins increased to ~~13.7%~~15.1% compared to ~~11.5%~~11.0% for the same period of 2019. We estimate the higher level of lumber prices (see “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results”) reduced gross margin by 50470 basis points. ~~Improvements~~Our increase in ~~our profitability were primarily~~gross profits was due to the impact of strong organic growth which allowed us to leverage fixed costs and the sequential rise in lumber prices which favorably impacted our gross profit per unit of products sold on a variable price such as ProWood pressure-treated lumber.following factors:

●

Increased unit sales of value-added products within our Deckorators, Outdoor Essentials, and Dimensions business units contributed $25 million to the increase.

●

Our ProWood business unit, which produces and sells pressure treated lumber, contributed $31.4 million to the increase attributable to unit sales growth and the impact of rising lumber prices as the selling prices of these products are primarily determined on a variable price formula.

●

The remaining $5.4 million increase is attributed to favorable cost variances as a result of operating leverage and strong organic unit growth.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately ~~$4.6~~$14.0 million, or ~~14.0%~~47.3%, in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, while we reported a ~~22%~~34% increase in unit sales. ~~Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2019 contributed approximately $0.8 million to this increase.~~ Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately ~~$3.2~~$10.7 million and totaled approximately ~~$8.4~~$15.0 million for the quarter. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and wages which were partially offset by decreases in advertising and travel and related costs.

Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment increased in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 by ~~$23.3~~$47.9 million, or ~~104.1%~~335%, well in excess of our ~~22%~~34% increase in unit sales as a result of the factors above.

Net sales in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 increased ~~18%~~37% compared to the same period of 2019, due to a ~~17%~~22% increase in unit sales and a 1%15% increase in selling prices. Acquired operations contributed 1% to our unit sales growth, and organic unit sales growth was ~~16%~~21%. Our organic unit growth was primarily driven by a ~~22% increase in our ProWood pressure-treated products, a 17% increase in Outdoor Essentials Fence, Lawn & Garden products, and a 51%~~53% increase in our Dimensions Home & Décor products including project panels and short ~~lumber.~~lumber, a 25% increase in our ProWood pressure-treated products, a 21% increase in Outdoor Essentials Fence, Lawn & Garden products, and an 11% increase in Deckorators composite decking and railing. Our new product sales contributed to these increases and were up ~~15.8%~~29.5%. Sales to big box customers were up ~~23%~~42% and sales to other independent retailers increased 8%28%.

Gross profits in the first nine months of 2020 increased 71.5% to $232.6 million compared to the same period of 2019 as gross margins increased to 14.0% compared to 11.2% for the same period of 2019. The impact of higher lumber prices contributed to a 170 basis point decline in our gross margin. Improvements in our profitability were primarily due to:

●

The impact of effective inventory positioning, resulting in lower lumber costs early in the year.

●

Growth in our sales of value-added products.

Gross profits in the first six months of 2020 increased 38.4% to $127.0 million compared to the same period of 2019 as gross margins increased to 13.2% compared to 11.3% for the same period of 2019. The impact of higher lumber prices contributed to a 10 basis point decline in our gross margin. Improvements in our profitability were primarily due to the impact of effective inventory positioning resulting in lower lumber costs, favorable changes in product mix, and strong organic growth which allowed us to leverage fixed costs, and the sequential rise in lumber prices in the second quarter which favorably impacted our gross profit per unit of products sold on a variable price such as ProWood pressure-treated lumber.

Acquired operations since the ~~second~~third quarter of 2019 contributed approximately ~~$1.6~~$1.9 million to this increase. Accrued bonus expense increased approximately ~~$4.2~~$14.9 million and totaled approximately ~~$11.9~~$26.9 for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020.

Earnings from operations for the Industrial reportable segment decreased in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 compared to 2019 by ~~$7.6~~$6.4 million, or ~~19.4%~~10.6%, due to the factors mentioned above.

Construction Segment

Net sales in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 ~~decreased 13%~~were flat compared to the same period of 2019, due to a 3%9% increase in selling prices ~~primarily due~~attributable to the Lumber Market, offset by a ~~16%~~9% decrease in unit sales due to the impact of the pandemic.

The decrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:

●

Gross profits in our site-built construction business unit decreased by $10.6 million due to a combination of lower unit sales and higher commodity lumber costs, which adversely impacted our profit per unit of products we sell on a fixed price to our customers for a period of time.

●

A decline in unit sales in our commercial business unit, which has a more significant fixed cost structure, caused a decrease in gross profit of $6.8 million.

●

The impact of rising lumber prices on variable priced products contributed $4.3 million in gross profit in our factory-built housing and concrete forming business units.

●

Favorable cost variances contributed $1.2 million in gross profit.

●

Acquired businesses contributed $1.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by approximately ~~$5.7~~$4.5 million, or ~~11.8%~~8.9%, in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, while we reported a ~~16%~~9% decrease in unit sales. Acquired operations since the ~~second~~third quarter of 2019 contributed approximately ~~$0.9~~$1.7 million to total SG&A expenses for the quarter. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, decreased approximately ~~$1.8~~$2.2 million, and totaled ~~$3.2~~$4.7 million for the quarter. Decreases in salaries and wages, ~~travel~~sales compensation, and ~~medical~~travel expenses also contributed to the overall decrease in SG&A.

In general, we funded our growth in the past 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. As explained in more detail below, the unusually large increase in lumber prices this year, as well as the significant increase in sales attributable to our Retail segment, resulted in an increase in net working capital this year.

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 improved to 43 days from 52 days during the third quarter and to 49 days from ~~53 days during the second quarter and to 53 days from 58~~56 days during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 compared to the prior periods.

The decrease in our days supply of inventory for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 was primarily due to opportunistic buying when lumber prices were low during the fourth quarter of 2018 and early 2019 to improve gross profits and higher levels of “safety stock” we carried to address transportation challenges and ensure timely deliveries to our customers. ~~The company~~We did not engage in this level of opportunistic buying in late 2019 and early 2020. ~~In addition, strong~~Strong demand in our retail segment and shortages of supply ~~has~~ contributed to ~~lower inventories~~higher inventory turns in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020.

In the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020, our cash provided by in operating activities was ~~$147.2~~$185.1 million, which was comprised of net earnings of ~~$110.3~~$189.1 million and ~~$38.2~~$55.6 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a ~~$1.3~~$59.7 million seasonal increase in working capital since the end of December 2019. Our operating cash flow this year ~~improved~~declined by ~~$76.3~~$13.0 million compared to the same period of last year primarily due to an ~~improvement in earnings, an~~ increase in ~~non-cash expenses and losses, and~~our net working capital since the end of 2019. Conversely, our net working capital at the end of the third quarter of 2019 decreased compared to the end of 2018. Our net working capital at the end of the third quarter of 2020 increased due to unusually high lumber prices as well the strong sales growth of our retail segment, which resulted in an increase in our ~~accrued liabilities since year end. Our accrued liabilities increased primarily due to accrued income taxes and compensation and benefit costs.~~accounts receivable.

Acquisitions and purchases of property, plant, and equipment comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2020 and totaled ~~$18.7~~$34.8 million and ~~$46.7~~$67.0 million, respectively. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately ~~$22.6~~$21.3 million on ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020. Notable areas of capital spending include projects to expand capacity and enhance the productivity of our Deckorators product line, several projects to expand manufacturing capacity to serve industrial customers and achieve efficiencies through automation, improvements to a number of facilities, and an 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 or cash surplus for the balance of the year. The sales and purchases of investments totaling ~~$18.7~~$22.3 million and ~~$20.1~~$24.3 million, respectively, are due to investment activity in our captive insurance subsidiary.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of issuances of long-term debt of $150 million, net repayments of debt of approximately ~~$2.8 million. Additionally, we paid~~$3.1 million, the payment of quarterly dividends totaling ~~$15.4~~$23.0 million, or $0.125 per share, and ~~repurchased~~repurchases of approximately 756,000 shares of our common stock for $29.2 million resulting in an average price paid of $38.62.

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, 2019.

Under the recent re-organization of our reportable segments now centered on our primary markets (retail, industrial, and construction), there were no indicators of impairment for any of the new reporting units. We continue to monitor the results of our commercial business unit (a reporting unit under the Construction segment), which primarily includes idX, as it has performed below expectations through 2019. While idX has faced challenging end market conditions resulting in this under-performance, we believe our growth and operating improvement strategies and related long-term projections for idX are still reasonable and attainable. Consequently, while the risk of impairment exists, management does not believe an impairment is currently required. Should the Company’s future analysis indicate a significant change in any of the triggering events for this reporting unit, it could result in impairment of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future goodwill impairment testing will not result in a charge to earnings. The total value of goodwill and identifiable intangibles associated with the commercial reporting unit is $12.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, at the end of ~~June~~September 2020.

FORWARD OUTLOOK

Most recently, the Company’s long-term goals have been to:

●

Achieve long-term unit sales growth that exceeds positive U.S. GDP by 4 percent to 6 percent;

●

Grow earnings from operations in excess of our unit sales growth; and

●

Earn a return on invested capital in excess of our weighted average cost of capital.

While we believe the effective execution of our strategies will allow us to continue to achieve these long-term goals in the future, our ability to achieve them ~~in 2020~~over the next year may be adversely impacted by a variety of external factors such as continuing developments in the COVID-19 ~~pandemic.~~pandemic, trends in commodity lumber prices, the availability and cost of labor and materials, and general election results in the U.S. The following variables should be considered when evaluating our performance ~~for~~over the ~~remainder of 2020.~~next year.

~~We have~~Earlier this year we experienced a decrease in customer demand and unit sales in our industrial and construction ~~segments.

However, there can be no assurance that ~~a “second wave”~~another “wave” of COVID-19 will not occur and result in additional “stay at home” and similar orders that would adversely impact the demand of our products. In addition, demand for our products in the retail segment has been exceptionally strong as consumers have increased their home improvement activities during the pandemic. There can be no assurance ~~that~~ demand will continue at these ~~strong~~ levels in the future. Market indicators that should be considered when evaluating future demand for our products include:

Production of manufactured housing. Sales of our Factory Built business unit within our Construction segment comprises ~~10%~~11% of our year-to-date total ~~annual~~ sales.

Non-residential construction spending. Sales of our Commercial and Concrete Forming business units within our Construction segment comprises approximately 8% of our year-to-date total ~~annual~~ sales.

We have over 150 geographically dispersed plant locations, many of which have the ability to serve multiple market segments. These capabilities enhance our ability to supply our customers from multiple locations in the event an operation is idled due to the pandemic. To date, ~~two~~one of our operations ~~have been~~remains temporarily idled and one has been permanently idled. ~~We do not anticipate a significant loss of sales from these actions.~~ Depending on the length of ~~the~~any future “stay at home” orders and the severity of the impact on future customer demand, we ~~may~~could temporarily or permanently idle additional locations in the future. These actions could result in certain losses including asset impairment charges to property, plant and equipment, right of use leased assets, inventory, ~~and~~ other long-lived assets, ~~as well~~and certain exit costs.

●

As a result of the pandemic and an anticipated reduction in demand, our suppliers significantly curtailed capacity through a variety of actions earlier this year. As the economy re-opened this summer, demand has recovered substantially and been much stronger than expected. Consequently, commodity lumber prices reached historically high levels by the end of the third quarter of 2020 (see Historical Lumber Prices). As our suppliers work through their backlog of orders and we reach the seasonally slower months of fall and winter in many areas of the country we anticipate commodity lumber prices will decrease to normalized levels. As lumber prices decline, we expect this may adversely impact our profit per unit of products we sell on a variable price formula. Conversely, this may benefit our profit per unit of products we sell at a fixed price for a period of time. See Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results. In addition, a decline in lumber prices will reduce our net investment in working capital and contribute to our cash flows from operations.

●

On a consolidated basis, and based on our 2019 results of operations and business mix, we believe our decremental operating margin is in a range of 10% to 15% of net sales. In other words, we believe for every dollar decrease in sales, relative to the prior year, our earnings from operations may decline by 10 cents to 15 cents. As a point of reference, our peak to trough decremental operating margin during the Great Recession was approximately 13.5% (2006 peak to 2011 trough). In addition to the variables above, factors that may cause our actual results to vary significantly from this range include:

Changes in our selling prices

Changes in our sales mix by market segment and product

The impact and level of the Lumber Market and trends in the commodity costs of our products

Changes in labor rates

Our ability to reduce variable manufacturing, freight, selling, general, and administrative costs, particularly certain personnel costs, in line with net sales

The results of our salaried bonus plan, which is based on pre-bonus profits and achieving minimum levels of pre-bonus return on investment over a required hurdle rate

~~We have increased our capital expenditure budget to $100 million from $80 million for 2020 to capitalize on future growth opportunities due to~~As a result of our strong cash flow and liquidity ~~position.~~position our capital expenditures budget is $100 million for 2020 as we plan to capitalize on opportunities to grow and achieve operational efficiencies through automation.

●

The CARES act allows us to defer certain payroll taxes from the end of March through the end of our 2020 fiscal year, which we estimate will total approximately $20 million. This liability must be paid in equal annual installments on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

●

We believe our cash cycle will remain consistent with historical trends and result in a reduction in working capital and increase in cash as sales decline.

●

As a result of the diversification of our business and execution of our people we’ve achieved strong earnings and operating cash flows, which has contributed to a strong balance sheet in which our cash surplus of $346 million exceeds our debt of $314 million and our shareholders’ equity is over $1.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, we currently have approximately $700 million of liquidity. Our historical methodology for capital allocation has been to follow a return-based, balanced approach in which we maintain or increase our dividends in line with our growth in earnings and operating cash flows, repurchase our common stock in an amount which offsets issuances under our share-based compensation plans and at times when we believe it is under-valued, and invest in capital expenditures and business acquisitions that allow us to achieve our strategic objectives. We currently anticipate investments in growing our business through capital expenditures and business acquisitions will comprise the highest use of our capital availability. Finally, we manage our capital structure conservatively by attempting to maintain targeted ratios of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization while reserving sufficient levels of liquidity for unanticipated opportunities and events.

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 entered into forward foreign exchange rate contracts in 2018, which have since expired, and may enter into further forward contracts in the future associated with mitigating the 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 ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020 (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 ~~June 27,~~September 26, 2020, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We may be adversely affected by the impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results. These outbreaks may adversely impact our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and businesses to limit the spread of this virus, may result in an adverse change in customer demand and our sales, interfere with the ability of our employees and suppliers to perform and function in a manner consistent with targeted objectives and otherwise adversely impact the efficiency of our operations. This has caused, and may continue to cause, us to materially curtail certain ~~of our business operations,~~segments, and ~~has had and~~ could ~~continue to~~ have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and cash flow.

Adverse economic conditions and our customers’ ability to operate may impact their ability to pay. This may result in higher write-offs of receivables than we normally experience. We continue to monitor our customers’ business activities, payment patterns, and credit profiles carefully and make changes in our terms when necessary in response to this risk. As a result, our accounts receivable aging at the end of ~~June~~September was approximately ~~94%~~95% current. Most recently our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales was 0.09%, 0.03%, and 0.03%, in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During the most difficult collection period of the Great Recession, from 2008 through 2010, our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales averaged 0.25%.

There could be limited future availability of materials from our suppliers.
