NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August, which historically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. For comparative purposes, we have included the June 27, 2020 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

C.       REVENUE RECOGNITION

Within the three primary segments (Retail, Industrial, and Construction) that the Company operates, there are a variety of written agreements governing the sale of our products and services. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.

Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a 3rd party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If the Company uses a 3rd party for installation, the party will act as an agent to the Company until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of the Company’s total sales.

The Company utilizes rebates, credits, discounts and/or cash-based incentives with certain customers which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The allocation of these costs are applied at the invoice level and recognized in conjunction with revenue. Additionally, returns and refunds are estimated on a historical and expected basis which is a reduction of revenue recognized.

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using over time accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations, which is in accordance with ASC 606 as revenue is recognized when certain performance obligations are performed. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

E.       COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

In addition, on June 26, 2021, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On June 26, 2021, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $45.1 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances, we are required to post payment and performance bonds to ensure the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims properly made against these bonds. As of June 26, 2021, we had approximately $36.4 million outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $2.1 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On June 26, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $52.7 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. As of June 26, 2021, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $45.6 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $7.1 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of UFP Industries, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2012, 2018 and 2020 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the second quarter of 2021 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

H.       INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for foreign, state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 25.0% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 25.3% for same period in 2020 and was 24.4% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 25.1% for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in permanent tax differences in 2021 compared to the prior year, none of which are individually significant.

J.       INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on a weighted average FIFO basis. Raw materials consist primarily of unfinished wood products and other materials expected to be manufactured or treated prior to sale, while finished goods represent various manufactured and treated wood products ready for sale.

The Company writes down the value of inventory, the impact of which is reflected in cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, if the cost of specific inventory items on hand exceeds the amount the Company expects to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. These estimates are based on management's judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience. The lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment to inventory as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $23.2 million and $0, respectively.

K.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On June 30, 2021, UFP Real Estate, LLC closed on the sale of real property owned and located in Fernley, NV for proceeds of $13.4 million and recognized a gain of $6.7 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UFP Industries, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that supply wood, wood composite and other products to three markets: retail, industrial, and construction. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For more information about UFP Industries, Inc., or our affiliated operations, go to www.ufpi.com.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations, government imposed “stay at home” orders and directives to cease or curtail operations; and our ability to make successful business acquisitions. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of the second quarter of 2021.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the second quarter of 2021 include the following highlights:

Our net sales were up 117% compared to the second quarter of 2020, which was comprised of a 70% increase in selling prices primarily due to the commodity lumber market (see Historical Lumber Prices below), an 11% increase in organic unit sales, and a 36% increase in unit sales due to acquisitions completed since June of last year. Organic unit growth was driven by a 26% increase in each of our industrial and construction segments and offset by a decline in organic unit sales of 4% in our retail segment.
Our operating profits increased $144.6 million, or 157%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. Acquisitions contributed approximately $29.6 million to our increase in gross profits and $14.7 million to our increase in operating profits. These increases resulted from a variety of factors including strong unit sales growth and leveraging fixed costs, increased sales of value-added and new products that have higher margins, and more effectively adjusting for increases in lumber and other costs in our selling prices. These favorable factors more than offset the impact of falling lumber prices on products we sell with a variable price, primarily our pressure-treated lumber products in the retail segment, which resulted in a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $23.2 million recorded to inventory and cost of goods sold at the end of June 2021. If lumber prices continue to fall and normalize in the third quarter of 2021, it will continue to impact our gross profits of commodity-based products sold on a variable price that were not purchased through a vendor managed inventory program. We anticipate that this will be more than offset by the benefit we experience on value-added products sold on a fixed price, primarily in our Industrial and Construction segments. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, we estimate value-added and commodity-based products contributed $103 million and $84 million, respectively, to our quarter over quarter increase in gross profits.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our cash flows used in operations for the first six months of 2021 was $116 million compared to cash flows provided by operations of $147 million during the first six months of 2020, primarily as a result of an increased investment in working capital of $444 million compared to the prior year, specifically due to increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances. The increase in our net working capital requirements during the second quarter of 2021 was due to unusually high lumber prices and strong market demand across all of our segments. We expect that lumber prices and demand will normalize in the last six months of 2021. Consequently, we anticipate this increased investment in net working capital will decline and be converted into cash during the balance of the year.
Our net debt (debt and cash overdraft less cash) at the end of June 2021 was $562 million compared to net cash of $37 million at the end of June 2020. The increase of nearly $600 million was due to an increased investment in working capital and acquisitions completed during the first half of the year, including PalletOne, J.C. Gilmore, Spartanburg, Endurable, and Walnut Hollow discussed in Footnote F to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our unused borrowing capacity under revolving credit facilities and cash surplus resulted in total liquidity of approximately $288 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021.

HISTORICAL LUMBER PRICES

The sequential increase in overall lumber prices for the quarter above is primarily due to the continuation of strong market demand as well as certain constraints in the supply chain of lumber. Prices began to fall at the end of June 2021 and we anticipate that lumber prices will continue to fall and normalize during the last six months of this year as these constraints on supply improve and demand in the retail market returns to more normal levels. A sequential decline in lumber prices would impact our profitability of products sold with fixed and variable prices, as discussed below.

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 63.7% and 44.1% of our sales in the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase from the prior year ratio reflects the impact of higher lumber prices and the results of PalletOne’s subsidiaries Sunbelt and Spartanburg Forest Products.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products, such as manufactured items, sold within all segments. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time. In order to reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers or purchase necessary inventory for these sales commitments. The time period limitation eventually allows us to periodically re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers. We believe our percentage of sales of fixed price items is usually greatest in our third and fourth quarters.

Table of Contents

Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar “adder” to cover conversion costs and profit. These products primarily include treated lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers’ needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. We believe our sales of these products are at their highest relative level in our second quarter, primarily due to pressure-treated lumber sold in our retail segment.

For each of the product pricing categories above, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

The greatest risk associated with changes in the trend of lumber prices is on the following products:

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprised approximately 20% of our total annual sales in 2020. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing market due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through inventory consignment programs with our vendors. Our annual purchases of inventory through these consignment programs totaled approximately 19% of our total lumber purchases in 2020. Our new Sunbelt and Spartanburg Forest Products plants operated with limited amounts of vendor consignment inventory and were more exposed to the impact of falling lumber prices during the end of the second quarter of 2021.  We anticipate increasing their use of these programs in future periods in a manner consistent with our ProWood pressure-treating operations.  (Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.)
Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices and longer vendor commitments.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits but does impact our margins. Gross margins and operating margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed five business acquisitions during the first six months of 2021 and five during all of 2020. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2021 is approximately $1.3 billion, while acquisitions completed from July through December 2020 have annual sales of approximately $79 million. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2021 and 2020 are not presented.

See Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note F, “Business Combinations” for additional information.

Operating Results by Segment:

Our business segments align with the following markets: UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Construction and UFP Industrial. The Company manages the operations of its individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Industrial, and Construction segments. In the case of locations which serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is the Company’s International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, and Australia operations and sales and purchasing offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes purchasing, transportation and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consists of over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns and leases transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. An inter-company lease charge is assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets at fair market value rates.

The following tables present our operating results, for the periods indicated, by segment (in thousands).

Increasing our sales of "value-added" products and enhancing our product offering with new or improved products. Value-added products generally consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold to the retail market, specialty wood packaging, engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, manufactured and assembled concrete forms, and "wood alternative" products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist of products manufactured with wood and non-wood composites, metal, and plastics. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber and panels with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber is not presently included in the value-added sales totals. Remanufactured lumber and panels that are components of finished goods are also generally categorized as “commodity-based” products. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales by our segments (Retail, Industrial, Construction, All Other and Corporate).

The increase in our ratio of commodity-based product sales to total sales reflected in the table above is primarily due to the impact of dramatically higher lumber prices in the first half of 2021. This is due to the fact that the selling prices of these products are generally indexed to the current Lumber Market at the time they are shipped and lumber costs comprise a much higher percentage of the selling price than they do for value-added products. The acquisition of Sunbelt and Spartanburg also contributed to the increase in commodity-based sales of treated lumber in our retail segment, while PalletOne contributed to the increase in value-added sales in the industrial segment. Our unit sales of value-added products increased approximately 30% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, including an 18% contribution from acquisitions and 12% organic growth. Our unit sales of commodity-based products increased approximately 80%, including a 72% contribution from acquisitions and 8% organic growth.

Developing new products. We define new products as those that will generate sales of at least a $1 million per year within 4 years of launch and are still growing and gaining market penetration. New product sales and gross profits in the second quarter of 2021 increased 61% and 72%, respectively. Approximately $4 million and $3 million of new product sales for the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, while still sold, were sunset in 2021 and excluded from the table below because they no longer meet the definition above. Our goal is to achieve annual new product sales of at least $575 million in 2021. The table below presents new product sales in thousands:

Retail Segment

Net sales in the second quarter of 2021 increased approximately 107% compared to the same period of 2020, due to a 59% increase in selling prices and a 52% increase in unit sales due to acquisitions (Sunbelt and Spartanburg Forest Products),  offset by a 4% decline in organic unit sales. Organic unit sale decreases of 17% in our Handprint Home & Décor products and 18% in our ProWood pressure-treated products were offset by organic unit growth of 27% in our UFP Edge siding, pattern, and trim products, 11% in our Deckorators composite decking and railing products, and 6% in our Outdoor Essentials Fence, Lawn & Garden products. Our new product sales contributed to these increases and were up 32% for the quarter. The decline in our unit sales of ProWood and Handprint products was primarily due to a shift in consumer spending as a result of the end of pandemic-related restrictions on certain activities.  The increase in unit sales of UFP Edge, Deckorators, and Outdoor Essentials was largely due to investments made to increase our capacity to produce these products as well as market share gains.  Lastly, approximately $8 million of sales to customers that distribute products for concrete forming were transferred from the construction segment to the retail segment. This change in structure was made so the personnel in our construction segment can more effectively focus their efforts on the design, manufacturing and sales of assembled forms and other value-added products for concrete forming.  Sales to big box customers were up 89% (30% organic) and sales to other independent retailers increased 150% (149% organic).

Gross profits increased by $39.1 million, or 46.9% to $122.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year. Our increase in gross profit was attributable to the following:

Increased unit sales and leveraging fixed costs of value-added products within our Deckorators, Outdoor Essentials, and UFP Edge business units contributed $4.1 of additional gross profit.
Our Retail Building Materials business unit contributed $18.2 million to the increase. This increase was primarily due to unit sales growth and inventory positioning.
Our ProWood and Handprint business units increased gross profits by $10.4 million and $2.9, respectively. Our ProWood business unit recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold totaling $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $22.8 million, or 60.8%, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The SG&A of recently acquired businesses contributed $5.4 million to the increase. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $12.5 million and totaled approximately $20.9 million for the quarter. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and wages, sales compensation, and travel related expenses.

Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment increased in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 by $16.3 million, or 36%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.

Net sales in the first six months of 2021 increased 110% compared to the same period of 2020, due to a 58% increase in selling prices, a 4% increase in organic unit sales, and a 48% increase in unit sales from acquired operations. Organic unit increases of 29% of Deckorators, 26% of UFP Edge, and 14% of Outdoor Essentials, were offset by organic unit declines of 11% of ProWood. The transfer of approximately $16 million in sales to the retail segment from the construction segment discussed above contributed to unit growth in the retail segment. Sales to big box customers were up 99% (42% organic) and sales to other independent retailers increased 88% (87% organic).

Gross profits increased 75.4% to $222.8 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Our increase in gross profit was attributable to the following:

Increased unit sales and leveraging fixed costs of value-added products within our Deckorators, Outdoor Essentials, Handprint, and UFP Edge business units contributed $16.2 of additional gross profit.
Our Retail Building Materials business unit contributed $28.8 million to the increase. This increase is primarily due to unit sales growth and rising lumber and panel pricing combined with effective inventory positioning.
Our ProWood business unit contributed $36.9 million to the increase in gross profit, including the lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold discussed above.
Acquisitions contributed $13.9 million to the increase including the lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold above.

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season which occurs during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters which typically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we typically experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters. As explained in more detail below, the unusually large increase in lumber prices this year, as well as the significant increase in sales, resulted in a more significant increase in net working capital this year relative to prior years.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle improved to 48 days from 49 days during the second quarter and to 49 days from 54 days during the first six months of 2021 compared to the respective prior periods.

The consistency in our days sales outstanding is a result of continued focus on timely collection efforts in all of our segments. The decrease in our days supply of inventory in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to strong demand in all of our market segments in 2021, which contributed to higher inventory turns.

In the first six months of 2021, our cash used in operating activities was $115.7 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $279.6 million and $48.6 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $443.9 million increase in working capital since the end of December 2020. Our operating cash flow this year declined by $262.9 million compared to the same period of last year primarily due to an increase in our seasonal investment in net working capital since the end of 2020, compared to the prior year period. This increase was due to unusually high lumber prices and increased market demand and net sales in each of our segments. PalletOne and other acquisitions also contributed to the increase in our seasonal investment in net working capital.

Acquisitions and purchases of property, plant, and equipment comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2021 and totaled $433.2 million and $79.0 million, respectively. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $45.1 million on June 26, 2021. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand manufacturing capacity to serve retail, industrial and construction customers and achieve efficiencies through automation, make improvements to a number of facilities, and increase our transportation capacity (tractors, trailers) in order to meet higher volumes and replace old rolling stock. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year. We currently plan to spend approximately $140 million on capital projects for the year. Notable areas of capital spending include projects to increase the capacity and efficiency of our plants that produce our Deckorators mineral-based composite decking and wood-plastic composite decking and our UFP Edge siding, pattern and trim products, expand our machine-built pallet capacity, and take advantage of automation opportunities.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of net borrowings of debt of approximately $260.2 million, the payment of quarterly dividends totaling $18.6 million ($0.15 per share), and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $2.9 million.

On June 26, 2021, we had $265 million outstanding on our $550 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $277.9 million in remaining availability after considering $7.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on June 26, 2021.

At the end of the second quarter of 2021 we have approximately $288.0 million in total liquidity, consisting of our cash surplus and remaining availability under our revolving credit facility. We anticipate our liquidity will increase substantially in the last six months of 2021 if lumber prices and demand normalize and we convert our seasonal increase in net working capital to cash.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS

See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note E, “Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 26, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the “Lumber Market”). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in their local currency, which is their functional currency, compared to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, certain of our operations enter into transactions that will be settled in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar. We may enter into forward foreign exchange rate contracts in the future to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk. Historically, our hedge contracts are deemed immaterial to the financial statements, however any material hedge contract in the future will be disclosed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the participation of management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e) as of the quarter ended June 26, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended June 26, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the implementation of a control to address the material weakness in control over our share-based bonus awards disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K, which was remediated in the first quarter of 2021.
