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.States of America. All significant intercompany transactionsbalances and balancestransactions have been eliminated.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.
In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.31, 2022.
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 JuneMarch 26, 20212022 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08,Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.Customers. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.years and is being applied prospectively to all business combinations occurring after this date.

C. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Within the 3three primary segments, (Retail, Industrial,UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging” and Construction)formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction (“Construction”), that the Company operates, there are a variety of written agreements governing the sale of our products and services. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.
Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a third party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If we use a third party for installation, the party will act as an agent to us until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of our total net sales.
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.
9
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.
10
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.

E. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES
We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.
In addition, on June 25, 2022,April 1, 2023, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business.

On June 25, 2022,April 1, 2023, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $80.4$63.8 million.
We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business.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.

The investment in Dempsey is an unconsolidated variable interest entity and we have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting because we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Per the contracts, the Sellers have a put right to sell their equity interest to us for $50 million and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest for $70 million, which are both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of April 1, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $66.7 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of Dempsey relative to the strike price of the put option.

G. SEGMENT REPORTING
We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP IndustrialPackaging (formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Industrial,Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations which serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment.
The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, India, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.
“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation 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 UFP Transportation 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UFP Industries, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that design, manufacture, and supply products made from wood, wood compositeand non-wood composites, and other productsmaterials to three markets:segments: retail, industrial,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, legal and compliance, and others. We regularly invest in automation and create 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 improvements and ideas has also prompted better and faster innovation for new products, processes, and product improvements. While the majority of our facilities serve only one business segment, a variety 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 that the diversification and manner in which we operate our business provides an inherent hedge against the inevitable business cycles that our markets experience and over which we have little control. Accordingly, our goal is to provide more stable earnings and cash flows to our shareholders. Our diversification and operating practices also mitigate the impact of more volatile lumber market conditions experienced by traditional lumber companies.

The decrease inLower overall lumber prices forin the secondfirst quarter of 2023 compared to the year wasfirst quarter of 2022 is primarily due to increased capacity and supply of lumber in North America while demand in the retail and housing markets beginning to return to more normalized levels and improvements in supply chain constraints.for lumber has declined. A change in lumber prices impacts our profitability of products sold with fixed and variable prices, as discussed below.
IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS
We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 54.8%40.3% and 63.7%61.4% of our sales in the first sixthree months of 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The decrease from the prior year ratio reflects the significant decrease in the Lumber Market as well as an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products as well asand our value-based selling practices.
Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.
Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.
● | 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. |
20
● | 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 |
18
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 of each category we believe our gross profits are more stable than those of our competitors who are less diversified.
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 |
● | Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices and longer vendor commitments. |
In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

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

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We completed twono business acquisitionacquisitions during the first sixthree months of fiscal 20222023 and ninefour during all of fiscal 2021.2022. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed induring the first sixnine months of fiscal 2022 iswas approximately $62 million, while acquisitions completed during the last six months of 2021 have annual sales of approximately $76$133 million. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 20222023 and 20212022 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 expenses (SG&A) costs as a percentage of gross profit. Given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering, and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A these strategies require, we believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs and mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices.

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

Retail Segment
Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 11% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 5% decrease in selling prices, a 2% decrease due to the transfer of certain sales to the Construction segment this year, and an organic unit decrease of 4%. These factors were offset by acquisition unit growth of 1%. The decline in organic unit sales was experienced in nearly all of our retail business units as consumer demand begins to return to more normalized levels. By business unit, we experienced organic unit growth of 3% in UFP Edge and this was offset by organic unit decreases in our ProWood (1%), Retail Building Products (2%), Sunbelt (8%), Deckorators (9%), Handprint (18%), and Outdoor Essentials (22%) business units. Capacity expansion contributed to our unit increase in UFP Edge, and we believe investments we’ve made to expand capacity in our Deckorators and UFP Edge business units will add planned sales of nearly $100 million to the Retail segment for all of 2022. Finally, sales to big box customers were down 10%, while sales to independent retailers decreased 15%.

Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $11.7 million, and totaled $43.4 million for the six months of 2022. Bonus expense was also impacted by the plan modification disclosed above. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in bad debt expense of $8.0 million, sales incentive compensation of $6.8 million, salaries and wages of $2.0 million, travel related expenses of $1.0 million, and medical benefits expense of $0.7 million.

Earnings from operations for the Industrial reportable segment increased in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021 by $56.7 million, or 47.2%, due to the factors discussed above.
Construction Segment
Net sales in the secondfirst quarter of 2022 increased 32%2023 decreased 34% compared to the same period of 2021,2022, due to a 15% increasean 18% decrease in selling prices 2% due to the transfer of certain sales from the Retail segment and an organic unit sales growthdecline of 15%16%. The increase in our selling prices is due to a combination of an improvement in our product mix of value-added products which tend to be sold on a fixed price, elevated end market demand, and selectively selling to maximize profitability. Organic unit changes within this segment consist of increasesdecreases of 63% in commercial construction, 35% in concrete forming, 16%19% in factory-built housing and 1%22% in site-built construction.construction, which were partially offset by an increase of 8% in commercial construction and 5% in concrete forming. The organic unit declines in our factory-built housing and site-built construction business units is due to the impact of higher interest rates on the demand for housing. As of April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, we estimate that our backlog of orders in the commercial construction business unit were $139 million and $93 million, respectively. As of April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, we estimate that our backlog of orders in our site-built construction business unit were $91 million and $141 million, respectively.
Gross profits increaseddecreased by $93.0$39.8 million, or 69.3%24.6%, for the secondfirst quarter of 20222023 compared to the same period of 2021.2022. The increasedecrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:

SG&A increased by approximately $27.7 million, or 41.4%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2021 contributed approximately $0.3 million to total SG&A for the quarter. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $11.0 million, and totaled $28.7 million for the quarter. Bonus expense was also impacted by previously discussed modifications in our plan. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in sales incentive compensation of $8.9 million, salaries and wages of $1.3 million, bad debt expense of $1.3 million, and travel related expenses of $0.7 million.
Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 by $65.7 million, or 97.9%, due to the factors mentioned above.
Net sales in the first six months of 2022 increased 36% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 20% increase in selling prices, 3% due to the transfer of certain sales from the Retail segment, and organic unit sales growth of 13%. Organic unit changes within this segment consisted of increases of 48% in commercial construction, 26% in concrete forming, and 16% in factory-built housing. The organic unit sales of our site-built business unit remained flat due to capacity constraints.
Gross profits increased by $165.8 million, or 74.3%, for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:
SG&A increaseddecreased by approximately $54.5$15.0 million, or 44.5%18.2%, in the first six monthsquarter of 20222023 compared to the same period of 2021.

Bonus expense was also impacted by previously discussed modifications in our plan.quarter. The remaining increasedecrease was primarily due to increasesdecreases in sales incentive compensation of $15.5$4.0 million salaries and wages of $3.4 million, bad debt expense of $2.7 million, and travel related expenses of $1.4$1.9 million.
Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment increaseddecreased in the first six monthsquarter of 20222023 compared to 20212022 by $111.5$24.6 million, or 111.4%31.2%, 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. The decline in sales and earnings from operations is primarily due to our operation in Mexico that exports moulding and millwork products to the the U.S.
3125
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 25.0% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 25.0% for same period in 2021 and was 24.5%23.7% in the first six monthsquarter of 20222023 compared to 24.4% for24.0% in the same period in 2021. Permanent tax differences and credits have remained relatively consistent from 2021 to 2022, which is the primary reason the rate increased only slightly.first quarter of 2022.

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition.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 increases during our first and second quarters which typically resultsresulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we typicallytend 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.
3226
Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle increased to 5171 days from 4861 days during the secondfirst quarter of 20222023 compared to the prior year period.

The increase1 We’ve modified our calculation of days payables outstanding to be based on the cost of goods sold and accounts payable balances in our cash cycle inmonthly financial statements. In prior periods, our calculation was based on invoice data. We’ve made this change to simplify the second quarter of 2022 comparedcalculation and more easily integrate acquired operations into our financial metrics. The prior year metric has been restated for the new method which reduced days payables from a previously reported 20 days to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a two day increase in our days supply of inventory as well as a one day increase in our receivables cycle. 12 days.
The increase in our cash cycle in the first six monthsquarter of 20222023 compared to the same period of 20212022 was primarily due to a threeseven day increase in our days supply of inventory.inventory and a four day increase in our days of sales outstanding. The increasesincrease in our days supply of inventory are generallyis primarily due to carrying greater amountshigher levels of safety stock due to supply and transportation constraints.
Our cash flows from operations for the first six monthsa drop in demand. The increase in our days of 2022 increased to $90 million compared to $116 million of cash used in operations during the first six months of 2021. This improvement in operational cash flowssales outstanding is due to receiving less timely payments from our customers. We continue to focus on past due account balances with customers and the percentage of our accounts receivable that are current is 93% at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
In the first three months of 2023, our cash consumed by operating activities was $37 million and was comprised of net earnings of $126 million and $40 million of non-cash expenses, totaling $475 million, compared to $328 million last year, offset by a $385$203 million increase in net working capital since the end of last year,December 2022. Our cash flows used by operations decreased by $208 million compared to a $444 million increase in the prior year. Lastsame period of last year our inventories increased more significantly from the beginning of the year until the end of June primarily due to an increasea decrease in our investment in net working capital of $270 million compared to the prior year period, offset by a decrease in our net earnings and non-cash expenses of $62 million. The decrease in net working capital was due to lower lumber prices which remained elevated atand the endsoftening of the second quarter.demand.
Purchases of property, plant, and equipment and acquisitions (refer to Note F for Business Combinations)of $38 million comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first sixthree months of 2022 and totaled $71.7 million and $39.3 million, respectively. Net purchases of investments totaled $6.9 million. Total proceeds from the sales of property, plant, and equipment were $2.0 million.2023. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $80.4$64 million on June 25, 2022.April 1, 2023. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, primarily in our Packaging segment and Deckorators and ProWood business units, achieve efficiencies through automation in all segments, make improvements to a number of facilities, and increase our transportation capacity (tractors, trailers) in order to meet higher volumes and replace older rolling stock.. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year. We currently plan to spend between $175$200 million to $225 million on capital projects for the year withsubject to significant variability due to uncertainty aboutextended supplier lead times. Notable areasWe completed no acquisitions during the first three months of capital spending include projects2023, while cash used for acquisitions in the same period of the prior year amounted to increase the capacity and efficiency of our plants that produce our Deckorators mineral-based composite and wood-plastic composite decking and our UFP Edge siding, pattern and trim products, expand the capacity of machine-built pallet and site-built business units, and take advantage of automation opportunities.$25 million.
Cash flows from financing activities consisted of cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $90.8$33 million. We repurchased approximately 1.21 million451,000 shares of our common stock for $93.2$35 million ($2 million is recorded in accounts payable at the end of the quarter) for the year at an average share price of $77.06, of which $90.8 million was paid in cash and the remaining $2.4 million was accrued.$78.27. The total number of remaining shares that may be repurchased under the program is approximately 1.41.5 million. Dividends paid during the first sixthree months of 20222023 include first quarter dividends of $12.5 million ($0.20 per share) and second quarter dividends of $15.5$16 million ($0.25 per share). On July 20, 2022,, a 25% increase over the Board approved a quarterly dividend paymentof $0.20 per share paid in the first quarter of 2022. On April 26, 2023, our board of directors approved our second quarter dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on SeptemberJune 15, 2022,2023, to shareholders of record on SeptemberJune 1, 2022. Net repayments of debt were approximately $2.9 million and distributions2023. Distributions to noncontrolling interests were $2.1$5 million. We have debt maturities of $38.7$3 million due in December oflater this year which we intend to repay through operating cash flows and available cash balances.

On June 25, 2022,April 1, 2023, we had $7.2$5 million outstanding on our $550$750 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $535.7$741 million in remaining availability after considering $7.1$3 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 June 25, 2022.April 1, 2023.
At the end of the secondfirst quarter of 2022,2023, we have approximately $1.2$1.7 billion in total liquidity, consisting of our net cash surplus, and remaining availability under our revolving credit facility, and a shelf agreement with certain lenders providing up to $500$535 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 25, 2021.31, 2022.
FORWARD OUTLOOK
Most recently, our long-term goals have been to:
● | Grow our annual unit sales by 5-7%. We anticipate smaller tuck in acquisitions will continue to contribute toward this goal; |
● | Achieve and sustain a 10% EBITDA margin by continuing to enhance our capabilities and grow our portfolio and sales of value-added products; |
● | Earn an incremental return on new investment over our cost of capital; and |
● | Maintain a conservative capital structure. |
We believe effectively executing our strategies will allow us to achieve these long-term goals in the future. However, current economic conditions indicate the U.S. economy is either in or headed towards a recession, which will impact our results and vary depending on its severity and duration. The following factors should be considered when evaluating our future results:
● | 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 as a result of inflation and an increase in interest rates. We anticipate lumber prices will follow more typical seasonal patterns consistent with historical trends and demand and remain at lower levels in 2023. |
● | Retail sales accounted for 41% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. 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 flat to slightly down in 2023. |
● | Packaging sales accounted for 27% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. 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 estimate industrial production to be flat to slightly down in 2023. |
28
● | Construction sales accounted for 28% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. |
- | The site-built business unit accounted for approximately 12% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. Approximately 30% of site-built sales are to multifamily builders. More than 75% of our site-built residential housing sales are in areas such as Texas and the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Mountain West regions, which have experienced significant population growth through migration from other states and are forecasted to continue to grow over the long term. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from housing starts in those regions. The consensus estimates of all housing starts is for a 15% to 20% decline in 2023. |
- | The factory-built housing business unit accounted for 9% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. This business, along with our multifamily business, could benefit from higher interest rates as buyers seek more affordable housing alternatives over time. As a result of these factors, we believe these customers are better insulated from downturns in the housing market. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from production of manufactured housing. The National Association of Home Builders forecasts a 24% decrease in manufactured home shipments in 2023. |
- | The commercial construction and concrete forming business units accounted for approximately 7% of our net sales for the first three months of 2023. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from non-residential construction spending. |
● | On a consolidated basis, and based on our 2023 forecasted results of operations and business mix, we believe our annual decremental operating margin is in a range of 15% to 20% 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 $0.15 to $0.20. 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). We estimate that our decremental margins by segment are as follows: |
- | Packaging is in a range of 20% to 25% |
- | Construction is in a range of 20% to 25% |
- | We currently anticipate improvement in operating profits in our Retail segment in 2023, primarily due to an expectation of less volatile lumber prices in 2023 and other operational improvements. The severe volatility of lumber prices in 2022 and 2021 adversely impacted the results of this segment. |
- | In the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, our decremental operating margin on a consolidated basis was 14.6% (Retail 12.5%, Packaging 22.2%, and Construction 9.0%). |
● | Key factors that may impact the ranges provided above include estimates of: |
- | The impact and level of the Lumber Market and trends in the commodity and other material costs of our products |
- | Changes in our selling prices |
- | Changes in our sales mix by segment, business unit, and product |
- | 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 |
- | Inflation and other changes in costs |
29
Capital Allocation:
We believe the strength of our cash flow generation and conservative capital structure provides 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 26, 2023, our board approved another quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. We continue to consider our payout ratios and yield when determining the appropriate rate. |
● | For the first three months of 2023, we repurchased 450,597 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $78.27. We have remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional 1.5 million shares through the balance of the year and intend to continue to do so at times when the price hits our pre-established target. |
● | Our targeted range for capital expenditures is $200-$225 million and may be impacted by extended lead times required for most equipment and rolling stock. Priority continues to be given to projects that enhance the working environments of our plants, take advantage of automation opportunities, and drive strategies that have strong long-term growth potential of new and value-added products. |
● | 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 useenter 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 would be required to refinance it.
We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the “Lumber Market”). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)
Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in their local currency, which is their functional currency, compared to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, certain of our operations enter into transactions that will be settled in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar. We may enter into forward foreign exchange rate contracts in the future to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk. Historically, our hedge contracts are deemed immaterial to the financial statements, however any material hedge contract in the future will be disclosed.
