LP Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported results today for the second quarter of 2016, which included the following:
| • | Sales for the second quarter of $582 million were higher by 18 percent compared to the year ago quarter. |
| • | Income from continuing operations was $32 million ($0.22 per diluted share). |
| • | Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations was $40 million ($0.28 per diluted share). |

“This was an outstanding quarter for LP as every one of our segments helped drive net income of over $30 million,” Said Curt Stevens, Chief Executive Officer. “OSB had adjusted EBITDA of $59 million and our Siding segment had nearly $50 million of adjusted EBITDA. These results were due to higher OSB pricing, slightly improved housing starts and lower production costs across our system.”

COMPANY OUTLOOK

"With our broad portfolio of commodity and value-added products, LP is in an excellent position to capitalize on growth in housing starts, repair / remodel activity, retail and industrial markets.”
