Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) reported a significant decline in financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, with net income falling to $54 million, down from $160 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, net income totaled $145 million, compared to $267 million in the first half of 2024. The company's comprehensive income also decreased, totaling $60 million for the quarter and $163 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $156 million and $248 million, respectively, in the prior year.
The decline in profitability is attributed to several factors, including lower sales in the Oriented Strand Board (OSB) segment, which saw net sales drop by 29% to $250 million in the second quarter, and a 22% decrease to $517 million for the first half of 2025. This downturn was primarily driven by lower OSB prices, which negatively impacted both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the segment. Conversely, the Siding segment reported an 11% increase in net sales to $460 million for the quarter, supported by higher sales volumes and prices, while Adjusted EBITDA rose by 19% to $125 million.
Operationally, LP has maintained a stable employee headcount, with total assets increasing to $2.656 billion as of June 30, 2025, up from $2.569 billion at the end of 2024. The company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $333 million, slightly down from $340 million at the end of the previous year. The increase in receivables and inventories indicates a strategic focus on managing working capital, with receivables rising to $168 million and inventories to $370 million.
Looking ahead, LP faces challenges from fluctuating market conditions, including increased material prices and supply chain disruptions. The company has also noted potential impacts from new tariffs, estimating an additional $12 million in costs for 2025. Despite these challenges, LP remains committed to its growth strategy, focusing on innovation in its Siding segment and exploring opportunities for geographic expansion, particularly in South America. The company anticipates that ongoing investments in sales and marketing will support its long-term objectives, although the overall economic outlook remains uncertain due to macroeconomic factors.
