The company posted earnings of $1.64 per diluted share, falling 5.84% short of the $1.74 consensus estimate, while revenue of $1.74 billion came in 0.40% below expectations and slid 3.2% from the year-ago period. The sharpest pain came from Wood Products, where segment income collapsed 81% year-over-year as average selling prices for LVL, I-joists, and plywood fell between 6% and 10%, and per-unit conversion costs climbed due to planned downtime tied to the Oakdale, Louisiana plywood mill modernization, a project now complete. Building Materials Distribution held up comparatively better, with segment income declining a more contained 9%. Looking ahead, management flagged near-term headwinds from large public homebuilders moderating construction pace amid affordability pressures and cautious consumer sentiment, even as ongoing housing undersupply provides a longer-term demand floor. A worker strike at one facility added a further note of operational uncertainty to an already challenging backdrop.

Key Takeaways

  • Lower EWP and plywood average net selling prices year-over-year (LVL -10%, I-joists -8%, plywood -6%)
  • Higher per-unit conversion costs due to planned Oakdale mill modernization downtime
  • Muted underlying demand for new residential construction
  • Sequential volume growth driven by seasonally stronger activity
  • LVL sales volumes increased 8% YoY while I-joist volumes declined 5% and plywood volumes declined 7%
  • BMD general line product sales increased 4% while commodity sales decreased 5% and EWP sales decreased 12%
  • Gains on sale of non-operating properties ($3.9M in Wood Products, $3.8M in BMD)
  • Total U.S. housing starts decreased 1% and single-family housing starts decreased 8% YoY in Q2

“During the second quarter of 2025, we experienced sequential volume growth driven by seasonally stronger activity, although underlying demand for new residential construction remained muted.”
