Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the second quarter of 2013, which included the following:
| • | Total sales for the second quarter of $573 million were higher by 34 percent compared to the year ago quarter. |

"This was another good quarter for LP as the U.S. housing market continues to recover,” said Curt Stevens, CEO. “While OSB prices moderated during the second quarter, this segment showed good earnings. Strong demand in Siding and South America also added to our results.”
For the second quarter of 2013, LP reported income from continuing operations of $94 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $37 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. The results for the second quarter of 2013 included a gain on acquisition of $36 million.

SIDING SEGMENT
LP's Siding segment consists of SmartSide siding as well as LP's prefinished Canexel siding line. These products are used in new construction as well as in the repair and remodeling markets. The Siding segment reported net sales of $153 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of

For the second quarter, LP reported $32 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment, an increase of $8 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. The increase in OSB sales prices sold in this segment accounted for approximately $5 million increase in both operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.
ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT (EWP)
The EWP segment is comprised of I-Joist (IJ), Laminated Veneer Lumber and Laminated Strand Lumber (LVL and LSL). These products are principally used in new construction. EWP sales in the second quarter of 2013 totaled $61 million, an increase from $52 million reported a year ago.

For the second quarter, LP reported $9 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment, an increase of $3 million compared to the second quarter of 2012.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
“Housing starts appear to have been constrained by weather, labor and financing issues in the second quarter. We will continue to be agile in our operations as the weather improves and builders address these issues. The consensus projection for housing starts for this year is a 25 percent increase over 2012, with starts projected to increase at least another 25% in 2014. We will be ready to respond," concluded Stevens.
