We have leveraged our expertise servingServing the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets, we have leveraged our expertise to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, and reliability. In addition toThe Company operates 22 plants in our U.S.continuing operations across the Company also maintains manufacturing facilities inU.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil through foreign subsidiaries, andand it operates facilities through joint ventures. The principal customers for our building solutions are retailers, wholesalers, and homebuilding and industrial businesses in North America and South America, with limited sales to Asia, Australia, and Europe. References to "LP," "the Company,the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole.

In June 2022, LP and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Pacific Woodtech Corporation, a Washington corporation, and Pacific Woodtech Canada Holdings Limited, a British Columbia limited company (collectively, the Purchaser). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the asset purchase agreement, LP agreed to sell to the Purchaser the assets related to its Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment in exchange for the Purchaser’s payment to the Company of $210 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the Purchaser’s assumption of certain liabilities of the EWP segment. On August 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the EWP assets to the Purchaser. Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the various activities of the EWP segment for a period not to exceed eight months.
As of June 30, 2022, we have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with the EWP segment as held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of our EWP segment have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. See Note 7 –Discontinued Operations for additional information.
Basis for Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes hereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2021 (202022, 2022 (2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. All dollar amounts are shown in millions except per share.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combination that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective as of January 1, 2021. There was no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.


NOTE 2. REVENUE

The following table presents our reportable segment revenues, disaggregated by revenue source. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

As noted in the segment reporting information in Note 17 below, our reportable segments are Siding, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Engineered Wood Products (EWP), and South America.

America (dollar amounts in millions).

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract (i.e.(i.e., purchase orders) with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The shipping cost incurred by us to deliver products to our customers is recorded in cost of sales. The expected costs associated with our warranties continue to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold.

Our businesses routinely incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, to promote sales of products, and to maintain competitive pricing. Customer program costs and incentives, including rebates and promotion and volume allowances, are accounted for as deductions from net sales at the time the program is initiated. These reductions from revenue are recorded at the time of sale or the implementation of the program based on management’s best estimates. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer. Volume allowances are accrued based on management’s estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new product purchases, store sell-through, and merchandising support. Management adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations).

We ship some of our products to customers’ distribution centers on a consignment basis. We retain title to our products stored at the distribution centers. As our products are removed from the distribution centers by retailers and shipped to retailers’ stores, title passes from us to the retailers. At that time, we invoice the retailers and recognize revenue for these consignment transactions. We do not offer a right of return for products shipped to the retailers’ stores from the distribution.distribution centers.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method. This method requires that the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs), restricted stock units, and performance stock units) be excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods in which losses are reported because the effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in(dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts):

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
13


inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We are required to classify these financial assets and liabilities into two groups: (i) recurring—measured on a periodic basis, and (ii) non-recurring—measured on an as-needed basis.

Trading securities consist of rabbi trust financial assets, which are recorded in Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of the rabbi trust are invested in mutual funds and are reported at fair value based on active market quotations, which represent Level 1 inputs. The assets of the rabbi trust were $6 million and $5 million at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
13


We estimated ourThe fair value of the 3.625% Senior Notes due in 2029 (2029 Senior Notes) was estimated to have a fair value of $352be $279 million and $358 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, based uponon market quotations. OurThe 2029 Senior Notes and other long-term debt are categorized as Level 1 in the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values are based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price as determined using published rates.

There were no outstanding amounts borrowed under our Amended Credit Facility (defined below) as of June 30, 2021.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold our auction rate securities (ARS) and recognized a $3 million gain on available for sale securities, which is included in Investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

2022.
Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.

Engineered Wood Products (EWP)
In June 2022, LP and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase agreement with the Purchaser. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the asset purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Purchaser the assets related to the EWP segment in exchange for the Purchaser’s payment to the Company of $210 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the Purchaser’s assumption of certain liabilities of the EWP segment. On August 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the EWP assets to the Purchaser. As a result of the sale, the Company received $210 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, and we anticipate recognizing a pre-tax gain on the sale of between $120 million to $125 million in the third quarter. Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the various activities of the EWP segment for a period not to exceed eight months.

NOTE 8.9. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Redeemable noncontrolling interest is interest in subsidiaries that is redeemable outside of our control, either for cash or other assets. These interests are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value or carrying value at the end of each reporting period. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interest is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Any adjustments to the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest are recognized in either net income or through accumulated paid-in capital, depending on the nature of the underlying security (preferred or common units).

Senior Notes

In March 2021, we issued $350 million of the 2029 Senior Notes. We may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, prior to March 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the indenture governing our 2029 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. On or after March 15, 2024, we may, at our option on one or more occasions, redeem all or any portion of these notes at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to grant liens to secure indebtedness, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. If we are subject to a "change of control," as defined in the indenture, we are required to offer to repurchase the 2029 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains customary events of default, including failure to make required payments on the 2029 Senior Notes, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the indenture, failure to pay or acceleration of certain other indebtedness and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. An event of default in the indenture allows either the indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding 2029 Senior Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, automatically causes the acceleration of, the amounts due under the 2029 Senior Notes.

In September 2016, LP issued $350 million aggregate principal amount Senior Notes due 2024 (2024 Senior Notes). In February 2021, LP delivered to holders of the 2024 Senior Notes a conditional notice of redemption to redeem on March 27, 2021 all of the 2024 Senior Notes outstanding at a redemption price of 102.438% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption notice became irrevocable on March 11, 2021, and the 2024 Senior Notes were fully redeemed on March 27, 2021. In connection with this redemption, LP recorded an early debt extinguishment charge of $11 million, recorded within Other non-operating items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which included $9 million of redemption premium and $2 million of unamortized debt costs associated with these notes.

Deferred debt costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. If the debt is retired early, the related unamortized deferred financing costs are written off in the period the debt is retired to Other non-operating items. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $2 million of deferred debt costs were written off in association with the 2024 Senior Notes extinguishment, and we paid $4 million in debt issuance costs that will be deferred and amortized over the life of the 2029 Senior Notes.

Credit Facility

In June 2021, we entered into a third amendment (Third Amendment) to our revolving credit facility, dated as of June 27, 2019 (Credit Facility), with American AgCredit, PCA, as administrative agent and CoBank, ACB, as letter of credit issuer, (as amended, the Amended Credit Facility). The Amended Credit Facility provides a revolving credit facility in the principal amount of up to $550 million, with a $60 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The
16


revolving facility, pursuant to the Amended Credit Facility, terminates, and all loans made thereunder become due in June 2027. LP has granted a security interest in substantially all of its personal property to secure the Amended Credit Facility, and certain of LP’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries may guaranty our obligations under the Amended Credit Facility and, subject to certain limited exceptions, provide security through a security interest in substantially all the personal property of these subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Facility provides a release of security interest after obtaining an Investment Grade rating from any one of the Moody's, S&P, or Fitch. There are no outstanding amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021.

Revolving borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility accrue interest, at our option, at either (a) a “base rate” plus a margin of 0.500% to 1.500% or (b) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.500% to 2.500%. The Amended Credit Facility also includes an unused commitment fee, due quarterly, ranging from 0.200% to 0.425%. The applicable margins and fees within these ranges are based on our ratio of consolidated EBITDA to cash interest charges. The “base rate” is the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the U.S. prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%.

The Amended Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants and customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of our obligation to repay the indebtedness outstanding thereunder. The Amended Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that require us and our consolidated subsidiaries to have, as of the end of each quarter, (i) a capitalization ratio (i.e., funded debt less unrestricted cash to total capitalization) of no more than 57.5% and (ii) a minimum consolidated net worth of at least $475 million plus 70% of consolidated net income after December 31, 2019, without a deduction for net losses.

In March 2020, LP entered into a letter of credit facility agreement (Letter of Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for the funding of letters of credit up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $20 million, which may be secured by certain cash collateral of LP. The Letter of Credit Facility includes an unused commitment fee, due quarterly, ranging from 0.50% to 1.875% of the daily available amount to be drawn on each letter of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. The Letter of Credit Facility is subject to similar affirmative, negative, and financial covenants as those set forth in the Amended Credit Facility, including capitalization ratio and minimum net worth covenants. As of June 30, 2021, we secured $13 million of outstanding letters of credit with cash collateral, included in Restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred debt costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Included in such amortized amounts are deferred debt costs associated with our Amended Credit Facility, which are recorded within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we paid $2 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the Third Amendment that was deferred and will be amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Amended Credit Facility (as well as the Letter of Credit Facility by such compliance).


NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

For interim periods, we recognize income tax expense by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate, and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted in the current quarter. Changes in profitability estimates in various jurisdictions will impact our quarterly effective income tax rates.

The tax provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, reflected an estimated annual effective tax rate of 24%25% and 26%24%, respectively, excluding discrete items discussed below. The total effective tax rate for continuing operationsfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, was 23%25% and 24%, compared to 37% and 30%23% for the comparable periods in 2020,2021, respectively.

We recognizedrecorded a net discrete tax benefit of $9 million duringin both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, primarilywith the most significant benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in 2022 and the most significant benefits related to stock-based compensation and adjustments to the prior year, including an adjustment to the deferred tax rate. We recognized a net discrete tax expense of $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to the surrender of a corporate-owned life insurance contract and a sales of ARS, offset by a benefit related to stock-based compensation.

Current portion (included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities)(1)(1)
Long-term portion$26 $24 
Estimates of our loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates significantly. While no estimate of the range of any such change can be made at this time, the amount that we may ultimately pay in connection with these matters could materially exceed, in either the near term or the longer term, the amounts accrued to date. Our estimates of our loss contingencies do not reflect potential future recoveries from insurance carriers except to the extent that recovery may, from time to time, be deemed probable as a result of an insurer’s agreement to payment terms.

Environmental Matters

We maintain a reserve for undiscounted estimated environmental loss contingencies. This reserve is primarily for estimated future costs of remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at numerous sites currently or previously owned by the Company. Our estimates of our environmental loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments, the specific nature of which varies considering the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each environmental loss contingency. These estimates typically reflect assumptions and judgments as to the
17


probable nature, magnitude, and timing of the required investigation, remediation, and/or monitoring activities and the probable cost of these activities, and in some cases, reflect assumptions and judgments as to the obligation or willingness and ability of third parties to bear a proportionate or allocated share of the cost of these activities. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in governmental regulation and environmental technologies, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to environmental loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates significantly. However, no estimate of the range of any such change can be made at this time.

Other Proceedings

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are parties to certain legal proceedings. Based on the information currently available, management believes the resolution of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.


NOTE 12. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

18


We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for potential impairments and believe we have adequate support for the carrying valuevalues of our long-lived assets. If demand and pricing for our products fall to levels significantly below cycle average demand and pricing, or should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for our mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required. As of June 30, 2021,2022, there were no indications of impairment.
We also review from time to time potential dispositions of various assets, considering current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan, and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the net sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $4 million and $9 million, respectively, in pre-tax impairment charges primarily related to our fiber producing assets at a Siding facility.


NOTE 13. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

We offer warranties on the sale of most of our products and record an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. The activity in warranty reserves for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022 and 2020,2021, is summarized in the following table:table (dollar amounts in millions):

However, it is possible that additional changes may be required in the future.

In November 2021, the Company initiated the termination of our frozen U.S. and Canadian defined benefit pension plans (collectively, the Plan), which would result in the full settlement of the Company's Plan obligations. The distribution of Plan assets pursuant to the termination will not be made until the Plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which is expected to occur by the end of 2022. Plan participants will receive their full accrued benefits from Plan assets by electing either lump-sum distributions or annuity contracts with a qualifying third-party annuity provider. The Plan termination is expected to result in pension settlement expense in 2022, which will be determined based on prevailing market conditions, the actual lump-sum distributions, and annuity purchase rates at the date of distribution. As a result, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the timing or final amount of such settlement charges. Upon settlement, we expect to recognize pre-tax pension settlement charges that will include (1) a non-cash charge for the recognition of all pre-tax actuarial losses accumulated in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ($98 million as of June 30, 2022) and (2) any cash contributions to settle the Plan’s obligations ($8 million net projected benefit obligation as of June 30, 2022). The actual amount of the settlement charges and any potential cash contribution will depend on various factors, including interest rates, Plan asset returns, and the lump-sum election rate.

NOTE 17. SELECTED SEGMENT DATA

We operate in four3 segments: Siding, OSB, EWP, and South America. Our business units have been aggregated into these four3 segments based upon the similarity of economic characteristics, customers, and distribution methods. Our results of operations are summarized below for each of these segments separately, as well as for the “Other” category, which comprises other products that are not individually significant. In June 2022, LP reached an agreement for the sale of its EWP segment assets. As a result of this transaction, EWP has been reclassified to discontinued operations and is no longer a reportable segment of the Company. See "Note 7 –Discontinued Operations" for additional information.
20


We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on net sales and Adjusted EBITDA for our business segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as income attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludes stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion includes statements that are forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management.

See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
General

We are a leading provider of high-performance building solutions that meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. We have leveraged our expertise serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, and reliability. Our manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil.

To serve these markets, we operate in fourthree segments: Siding, OSB, EWP, and South America.

In February 2021,March 2022, we announced (i)sold our 50% equity interest in two joint ventures that LSL production will ceaseproduce I-joists to Resolute Forest Products Inc. (Resolute) for $59 million. The joint ventures were comprised of Resolute-LP Engineered Wood Larouche Inc. in Larouche, Quebec, and Resolute-LP Engineered Wood St-Prime Limited Partnership in Saint-Prime, Quebec. The total net carrying value of our equity method investment at the date of sale was $19 million. We recognized a gain on the sale of $39 million during 2021 in connection with the conversion of the Houlton, Maine facility from LSL and OSB production to Siding production and (ii) our decision to explore strategic alternatives with respect to the Company's remaining EWP segment, including a possible sale in whole or in part.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.2022, within Income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
In June 2022, LP is continuingand one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase agreement with Pacific Woodtech Corporation, a Washington corporation, and Pacific Woodtech Canada Holdings Limited, a British Columbia limited company (collectively, the Purchaser). Pursuant to follow national, statethe terms and local healthconditions of the asset purchase agreement, LP agreed to sell to the Purchaser the assets related to its Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment in exchange for the Purchaser’s payment to the Company of $210 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and safety guidelines and is running full mill operating schedules asthe Purchaser’s assumption of certain liabilities of the EWP segment. On August 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the EWP assets to the Purchaser. Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the various activities of the EWP segment for a period not to exceed eight months.
As of June 30, 2021.2022, we have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with the EWP segment as held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The numberresults of casesour EWP segment have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of COVID-19 has decreased in the United States and certain other partsIncome for all periods presented. See "Note 7 – Discontinued Operations" of the world in recent months as vaccines have become more widely available, and most restrictions relatedNotes to the COVID-19 pandemicCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the United States have been relaxed as the resultItem 1 of such decrease. However, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the effect of easing restrictions, actions to contain the pandemic and mitigate its impacts, and the effectsthis quarterly report on our operations cannot be reasonably estimated.

Form 10-Q for additional information.
Demand for our Building Products

Demand for our products correlates positively with new home construction and repair and remodeling activity in North America, which historically havehas been characterized by significant cyclicality. The U.S. Department of Census reported on July 20, 2021,19, 2022, that actual single housing starts were 46% and 33% higher3% lower for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and flat for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,2022, as compared to the same periods in 2020.2021. Repair and remodeling activity is difficult to reasonably measure, but many indications, including the substantial increase in LP’s retail sales, suggest that repair and remodeling activity grew significantly in the first six months of 2021 as comparedis continuing to the corresponding period in the prior year.

grow.
Although housing market demand has recently been very strong, future economic conditions in the United States and the demand for homes remain uncertain due to continuing COVID-19-related disruptions, government directives, actions and economic relief efforts related thereto, and the impact of these actionsinflationary impacts on the economy, including interest rates, employment levels, consumer confidence, and financial markets, among other things. Additionally, as a result of increased demand in the housing market and a strengthening economy in the United States, we have experienced increases in material prices, supply disruptions, and labor shortages, which will be a challenge for LP as we continue to work to meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. The potential effect of
22


these factors on our future operational and financial performance is uncertain. As a result, our past performance may not be indicative of future results.

Supply and Demand for OSB
22



OSB is sold as a commodity for which sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control.product, and it is subject to competition from manufacturers worldwide. Product supply is influenced primarily by fluctuations in available manufacturing capacity and imports. The ratio of overall OSB demand to capacity generally drives price. We have experienced increased demand for commodity OSB in the first and second quarters of 2021; however, we cannot predict whether the prices of our OSB products will remain at current levels or increase or decrease in the future.

For additional factors affecting our results, refer to the "Overview"“Overview” within our Management's“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations” section and our “Risk Factors” section contained in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to “Aboutthe “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a discussion of our significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and judgments. Throughout the preparation of the financial statements, we employ significant judgments in the application of accounting principles and methods. These judgments are primarily related to the assumptions used to arrive at various estimates.

While thereThere have been no changes in the application of principles, methods, and assumptions used to determine our significant estimates we may be required to revise certain accounting estimates and judgments related to the economic and business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as, but not limited to, those related to the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets, accounts receivable, and inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators

In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludesexclude stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations, excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, and adjustsadjusting for a normalized tax rate as Adjusted Income from continuing operations (Adjusted Income). We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations (Adjusted Diluted EPS), calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing this measurethese measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.

Neither Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, norand Adjusted Diluted EPS is a substituteare not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measuremeasures of net income and net income per diluted share or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titledsimilarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titledsimilarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operationsoperation of our business.

Key Performance Indicators
In addition, management monitors certain key performance indicators to evaluate our business performance, which include our Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and our sales volume relative to housing starts, as provided by reports from the U.S. Department of Census.
The following tables set forth: (1) housing starts, (2) our North American sales volume, and (3) OEE. We consider the following items to be key performance indicators because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions, and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators are further described on page 35should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.
We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this quarterly report on Form 10-Qis a useful measure for evaluating our results and are incorporated hereinthat providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently, and therefore, housing starts data presented by reference.us may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.

We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding and OSB segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.
The following table sets forth sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

We measure the OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE differently and, therefore, as presented by us, OEE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily monitor operational improvements. OEE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, for each of our segments is listed below:

CREDIT FACILITY AND LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

Amended Credit Facility). The Amended Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility in the principal amount of up to $550 million, with a $60 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The Amended Credit Facility, and all loans thereunder, become due on June 8, 2027. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had no amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility.

The Amended Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants and customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of our obligation to repay the indebtedness outstanding thereunder. The Amended Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that requiresrequire us and our consolidated subsidiaries to have, as of the end of each quarter, (i) a capitalization ratio (i.e.(i.e., funded debt less unrestricted cash to total capitalization) of no more than 57.5% and (ii) a minimum consolidated net worth of at least $475 million plus 70% of consolidated net income after December 31, 2019, without deduction for net losses.. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Amended Credit Facility.

In March 2020, LP entered into the Letter of Credit Facility, which provides for the funding of letters of credit up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $20 million, which may be secured by certain cash collateral of LP. The Letter of Credit Facility includes an unused commitment fee, due quarterly, ranging from 0.50% to 1.875% of the daily available amount to be drawn on each letter of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. The Letter of Credit Facility is subject to similar affirmative, negative, and financial covenants as those set forth in the Amended Credit Facility, including the capitalization ratio and minimum net worth covenants.covenant. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Letter of Credit Facility.

OTHER LIQUIDITY MATTERS

Other Liquidity Matters
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had standby letters of credit of $12$13 million outstanding related to collateral for environmental impact on owned properties, a deposit for a forestry license, and insurance collateral, including workers' compensation.


Potential Impairments

We review our mill and investment assets for potential impairments at least annually and believe we have adequate support for the carrying value of our assets as of June 30, 2021.

2022.
If demand and pricing for our products are significantly below cycle average demand and pricing, or should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for these locations, or should demand and pricing of our products fall as a result of the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required. As of June 30, 2021,2022, there were no indications of impairment.

We also review from time to time possible dispositions of various assets, considering current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan, and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the net sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real, and the Chilean peso. Although we have in the past entered into foreign exchange contracts associated with certain of our indebtedness and may continue to enter into foreign exchange contracts associated with major equipment purchases to manage a portion of the foreign currency rate risk, we historically have not entered into material currency rate hedges with respect to our exposure from operations, although we may do so in the future.

Some of our products are sold as commodities, and therefore sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control. The most significant commodity product we sell is OSB. Based upon anThere have been no material changes to the assumed North America annual production capacity in the OSB segment of 4.5 billion square feet (3/8" basis) or 3.9 billion square feet (7/16" basis), a $1 change in theand annual average price per thousand square feetsensitivity previously disclosed under the caption “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2021 Annual Report on a 7/16" basis would change annual pre-tax profits by approximately $4 million. Excluding the Peace Valley facility, which was curtailed in 2019, a $1 change in the annual average price per thousand square feet on a 7/16" basis would change annual pre-tax profits by approximately $3 million.

Form 10-K.
We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates on our variable rate long-term debt. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had no outstanding amounts borrowed under our Amended Credit Facility. We do not currently have any derivative or hedging arrangements, or other known exposures, to changes in interest rates.

We historically have not entered into material commodity futures and swaps, although we may do so in the future.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2021,2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out, with the participation of the Company's Disclosure Practices Committee and the Company's management, a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2021,2022, LP’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The following tables set forth: (1) our sales volumes, (2) housing starts and (3) OEE. We consider the following items to be key performance indicators because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.

We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.

We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB and EWP segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

The following table sets forth North American sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020:

We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE differently and, therefore, as presented by us, OEE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily monitor operational improvements.

The description of certain legal and environmental matters involving LP set forth in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q under Note 11 toof the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein is incorporated herein by reference.


ItemITEM 1A.Risk Factors.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the yearquarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2020,2022. Except as filed on February 18, 2021 ("2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). There have beenset forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption "Risk"Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 10-K and in Part II of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Rising inflation may adversely affect us by increasing costs of raw materials, labor, and other costs beyond what we can recover through price increases.

Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing the costs of raw materials, labor, and other costs required to operate and grow our business. Many of the markets in which we sell our products are experiencing high levels of inflation, which may depress consumer demand for our products and reduce our profitability if we are unable to raise prices enough to keep up with increases in our costs. Inflationary pressures have resulted in increases in the cost of certain raw materials, and other supplies necessary for the production of our products, and such increases may continue to impact us in the future and expose us to risks associated with significant levels of cost inflation. If we are unable to increase our prices to offset the effects of inflation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The risks, as described in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as supplemented above, are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
