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.

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 25, 2021.

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 26, 2021 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

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 third party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If we use a third party for installation, the party will act as an agent to us until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of our total net sales.

We utilize 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 relative 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 relative 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 25, 2022, 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 25, 2022, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $80.4 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 25, 2022, we had approximately $13.8 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $26.7 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On June 25, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $60.0 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 25, 2022, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $50.1 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 2022 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

G.       SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Industrial and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our 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 our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, India, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.

“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing and UFP Transportation and over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates. Total assets in the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., UFP Transportation, Inc., UFP Purchasing, Inc., and UFP RMS, LLC.

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 2022 and 2021 and was 24.5% in the first six months of 2022 compared to 24.4% for the same period in 2021. Permanent tax differences and credits have remained relatively consistent from 2021 to 2022, which is the primary reason the rate increased only slightly.

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.

We write 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 we expect 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 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 was $9.3 million and $23.2 million, respectively.

K.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On June 27, 2022, we acquired 50% of the equity of Dempsey Wood Products, LLC, for $66.0 million. Based in Orangeburg, South Carolina, Dempsey Wood Products produces kiln-dried lumber, pallet lumber, and other industrial wood products.

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 2022.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the second quarter of 2022 include the following highlights:

Our net sales were up 7% compared to the second quarter of 2021, which was comprised of a 4% increase in selling prices, a 1% increase in unit sales due to acquisitions completed since June of last year, and a 2% increase in organic unit sales. The overall increase in our selling prices is due to a combination of an improvement in our product mix of value-added products which tend to be sold on a fixed price, elevated end market demand, and our value-based selling initiatives. Organic unit growth of 17% in our construction segment was offset by an organic unit decline of 7% in our retail segment and 1% in our industrial segment.
Our gross profits increased by $82.2 million, or 19.5%, compared to the same period of the prior year. Acquired operations contributed $6 million to the increase in our gross profits. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, gross profits increased by $76.2 million and we estimate that value-added products contributed $131 million to the increase, which was offset by a decrease in gross profit of $55 million due to the impact of falling lumber prices on certain commodity-based products that are sold on a variable price formula.
Our operating profits increased $48.6 million, or 20%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. This increase resulted from a variety of factors including improved leveraging of our fixed costs in business units that experienced organic growth, increased sales of new and value-added products which have higher gross margins, and our ability to effectively include lumber and other cost increases in the selling prices of our products. In addition, our value-based selling practices have enabled us to improve our profit per unit. Acquisitions contributed approximately $2.5 million to our increase in operating profits.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our cash flows from operations for the first six months of 2022 increased to $90 million compared to $116 million of cash used in operations during the first six months of 2021. The improved cash flows resulted from net earnings and non-cash expenses totaling $475 million, compared to $328 million last year, offset by a $385 million increase in net working capital since the end of last year, compared to a $444 million increase in the prior year. Last year, our inventories increased more significantly from the beginning of the year until the end of June, primarily due to the increase in lumber prices, as reflected in the table below, which remained elevated at the end of the second quarter.
Our net debt (debt and cash overdraft less cash) at the end of June 2022 was $190.7 million compared to $561.9 million at the end of June 2021. Our unused borrowing capacity under revolving credit facilities and a shelf agreement with certain lenders along with our cash surplus resulted in total liquidity of approximately $1.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2022.

HISTORICAL LUMBER PRICES

The decrease in overall lumber prices for the second quarter of the year was primarily due to demand in the retail and housing markets beginning to return to more normalized levels and improvements in supply chain constraints. A change in lumber prices impacts 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 54.8% and 63.7% of our sales in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease from the prior year ratio reflects an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products as well as our value-based selling practices.

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.

20

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

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 16% of our total annual sales in 2021. 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 new Sunbelt and Spartanburg Forest Products plants began participating in these consignment programs in 2022, and we estimate that 24.2% of their inventory was consigned with vendors.  (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 two business acquisition during the first six months of fiscal 2022 and nine during all of fiscal 2021. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of fiscal 2022 is approximately $62 million, while acquisitions completed during the last six months of 2021 have annual sales of approximately $76 million. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2022 and 2021 are not presented.

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

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of gross profit.  Given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering, and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A these strategies require, we believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs and mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices.

Bonus expense, which is a component of SG&A, decreased in the second quarter to $55 million from $61 million in the prior year due to modifications made to our bonus plan intended to reduce the payout rate when higher levels of pre-bonus earnings from operations are achieved. The adjustment to reduce bonus expense based on the new parameters was recorded in the second quarter and totaled $17 million. As a result of this change, our year to date bonus accrual rate has decreased to 17.5% of pre-bonus earnings from operations from a historical rate of approximately 20.0%. Bonus rates continue to be derived based on return on investment achieved. Bonus expense in the first six months of 2022 totaled $124 million compared to $98 million in the prior year.

Operating Results by Segment:

Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Industrial and UFP Construction, and align with the end markets we serve. Among other things, this structure allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, more efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our 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. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) are 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, leases, and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. Inter-company lease and services charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates.

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

Diversifying our end market sales mix by increasing sales of structural wood and protective packaging to industrial users, increasing our penetration of the concrete forming market, increasing our sales of engineered wood components for custom home, multi-family, military and light commercial construction, and increasing our market share with independent retailers.
Expanding geographically in our core businesses, domestically and internationally.
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, structural 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:

Note: Certain prior year product reclassifications and the change in designation of certain products as "value-added" resulted in a change in prior year's sales.

Our overall unit sales of value-added products increased approximately 6% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, comprised of a 2% contribution from acquisitions and 4% organic growth. Our overall unit sales of value-added products increased approximately 6% in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, comprised of a 3% contribution from acquisitions and 3% organic growth. Our organic unit sales of commodity-based products decreased approximately 1% quarter-over-quarter and our overall unit sales of commodity-based products increased approximately 5% in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, comprised of a 4% contribution from acquisitions and 1% organic growth.

Developing new products. We define new products as those that will generate sales of at least $1 million per year within 4 years of launch and are still growing and gaining market penetration. New product sales in the second quarter of 2022 increased 37%. Approximately $211 million of new product sales for the first six months of 2021, while still sold, were sunset in 2022 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 $525 million in 2022.

Retail Segment

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 11% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 5% decrease in selling prices, a 2% decrease due to the transfer of certain sales to the Construction segment this year, and an organic unit decrease of 4%. These factors were offset by acquisition unit growth of 1%. The decline in organic unit sales was experienced in nearly all of our retail business units as consumer demand begins to return to more normalized levels.  By business unit, we experienced organic unit growth of 3% in UFP Edge and this was offset by organic unit decreases in our ProWood (1%), Retail Building Products (2%), Sunbelt (8%), Deckorators (9%), Handprint (18%), and Outdoor Essentials (22%) business units. Capacity expansion contributed to our unit increase in UFP Edge, and we believe investments we’ve made to expand capacity in our Deckorators and UFP Edge business units will add planned sales of nearly $100 million to the Retail segment for all of 2022.  Finally, sales to big box customers were down 10%, while sales to independent retailers decreased 15%.

Gross profits decreased by $49.2 million, or 40.2% to $73.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to the following:

The gross profits of our Sunbelt and ProWood business units decreased by a total of $29.9 million, primarily due to the impact that declining lumber prices had on pressure treated products sold at a variable price. A decrease in unit sales also contributed to the reduction in gross profit.
Our UFP Edge and Retail Building Products business units contributed $21.1 million to the decrease in gross profits due to the impact that declining lumber prices had on products sold at a variable price in these business units.
Acquired operations contributed $2.7 million, which partially offset the decrease in gross profits.

SG&A decreased by approximately $12.0 million, or 19.9%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, decreased approximately $17.2 million from the second quarter of 2021 and totaled approximately $3.8 million for the quarter. Bonus expense was also impacted by the plan modification disclosed above.

Industrial Segment

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 increased 11% compared to the same period of 2021, due to an 11% increase in selling prices and acquisition unit growth of 1%, offset by a 1% decrease in organic unit sales.  The increase in our selling prices is a result of executing value-based selling initiatives and maintaining pricing discipline as we operate in an environment of elevated demand and capacity constraints. The components of our change in organic unit sales includes gains associated with $17 million in sales to new customers, $24 million of sales to new locations of existing customers, and $26 million of new product sales. These gains were offset by the loss of unit sales on less profitable accounts.

Gross profits increased by $27.7 million, or 20.6%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Acquisitions contributed $1.4 million to the increase in gross profit. The remaining increase is a result of the pricing increases discussed above as well as favorable changes in our value-added sales mix. Excluding acquisitions, we estimate that value-added products contributed $36.5 million to the increase in gross profit, while commodity-based products contributed to a decline of $10.2 million in gross profit. Value-added sales increased to 70.5% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 63.8% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, the increase in new product sales contributed $11.2 million to gross profits this year ($1.4 million from acquisitions).

SG&A increased by approximately $12.3 million, or 22.5%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2021 contributed approximately $1.0 million to our increase in costs. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, decreased approximately $1.4 million relative to the second quarter of 2021, and totaled $19.7 million for the quarter. Bonus expense was impacted by the plan modification disclosed above. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in bad debt expense of $6.4 million, sales incentive compensation of $2.0 million, medical benefits expense of $0.6 million, salaries and wages of $0.4 million, and travel related expenses of $0.4 million.

Earnings from operations for the Industrial reportable segment increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 by $14.7 million, or 18.5%, due to the factors discussed above.

Net sales in the first six months of 2022 increased 21% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 23% increase in selling prices and acquisition unit growth of 1%, offset by a 3% decrease in organic unit sales.  The increase in our selling prices is a result of executing value-based selling initiatives and maintaining pricing discipline as we operate in an environment of elevated demand and capacity constraints. The components of our change in organic unit sales includes gains associated with $40 million in sales to new customers, $42 million of sales to new locations of existing customers, and $55 million of new product sales. These gains were offset by the loss of unit sales on less profitable accounts.

Gross profits increased by $96.9 million, or 45.1%, for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Acquisitions contributed $3.1 million to the increase in gross profit. The remaining increase is a result of the pricing increases discussed above as well as favorable changes in our value-added sales mix. Excluding acquisitions, we estimate that value-added products and commodity-based products contributed $86.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, to the increase in gross profit. Value-added sales increased to 69.2% of total net sales in the first six months of 2022 compared to 65.1% of total net sales in the first six months of 2021. Additionally, the increase in new product sales contributed $23 million to gross profits this year ($3.1 million from acquisitions).

SG&A increased by approximately $39.5 million, or 41.5%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquired operations since the first six months of 2021 contributed approximately $2.3 million to our increase in costs. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, increased approximately $11.7 million, and totaled $43.4 million for the six months of 2022. Bonus expense was also impacted by the plan modification disclosed above. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in bad debt expense of $8.0 million, sales incentive compensation of $6.8 million, salaries and wages of $2.0 million, travel related expenses of $1.0 million, and medical benefits expense of $0.7 million.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Earnings from operations for the Industrial reportable segment increased in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021 by $56.7 million, or 47.2%, due to the factors discussed above.

Construction Segment

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 increased 32% compared to the same period of 2021, due to a 15% increase in selling prices, 2% due to the transfer of certain sales from the Retail segment and organic unit sales growth of 15%. The increase in our selling prices is due to a combination of an improvement in our product mix of value-added products which tend to be sold on a fixed price, elevated end market demand, and selectively selling to maximize profitability. Organic unit changes within this segment consist of increases of 63% in commercial construction, 35% in concrete forming, 16% in factory-built housing, and 1% in site-built construction.

The organic increase in commercial is due primarily to an increase in sales at our idX facility in CA. As of June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we estimate that backlog orders associated with commercial construction approximated $118.0 million and $84.6 million, respectively.
The organic unit increase in concrete forming is comprised of a 64% increase in our value-added unit sales and a 10% increase in our commodity-based unit sales. The unit increase in value-added sales is due to an increase in concrete form and engineered wood product sales to new customers and existing customers.
The organic unit increase in factory-built is primarily due to an increase in industry production and an increase in new products sales of $11.1 million.
Capacity constraints impacted our ability to grow our site-built business unit. Consequently we have been selective in the business we take in order to maximize profitability. As of June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we estimate that backlog orders associated with site-built construction approximated $160.6 million and $113.5 million, respectively.

Gross profits increased by $93.0 million, or 69.3%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:

Gross profits in our site-built construction business unit increased by $72.5 million as a result of being more selective in the business that we take during this period of elevated demand and capacity constraints.
Gross profits in our factory-built housing business unit increased $10.9 million as a result of increased unit sales and leveraging fixed costs. In addition, value-added sales in this business unit increased to 55.3% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 46.7% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in new product sales contributed $1.8 million in gross profits this year.
The gross profit of our commercial construction business unit increased $7.6 million as a result of increased unit sales, better productivity and other operational improvements, and improved pricing discipline.
The gross profit of our concrete forming business unit increased by $1.7 million, including $2.9 million as a result of the transfer of sales from the Retail segment.
Acquired businesses contributed $0.3 million.

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 2022 compared to 25.0% for same period in 2021 and was 24.5% in the first six months of 2022 compared to 24.4% for the same period in 2021. Permanent tax differences and credits have remained relatively consistent from 2021 to 2022, which is the primary reason the rate increased only slightly.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

We have no significant off-balance sheet transactions.

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.

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 increased to 51 days from 48 days during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in our cash cycle in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a two day increase in our days supply of inventory as well as a one day increase in our receivables cycle. The increase in our cash cycle in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a three day increase in our days supply of inventory. The increases in our days supply of inventory are generally due to carrying greater amounts of safety stock due to supply and transportation constraints.

Our cash flows from operations for the first six months of 2022 increased to $90 million compared to $116 million of cash used in operations during the first six months of 2021. This improvement in operational cash flows is due to net earnings and non-cash expenses totaling $475 million, compared to $328 million last year, offset by a $385 million increase in net working capital since the end of last year, compared to a $444 million increase in the prior year. Last year, our inventories increased more significantly from the beginning of the year until the end of June primarily due to an increase in lumber prices, which remained elevated at the end of the second quarter.

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment and acquisitions (refer to Note F for Business Combinations) comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2022 and totaled $71.7 million and $39.3 million, respectively. Net purchases of investments totaled $6.9 million. Total proceeds from the sales of property, plant, and equipment were $2.0 million. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $80.4 million on June 25, 2022. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, 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 older 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 between $175 million to $225 million on capital projects for the year with variability due to uncertainty about supplier lead times. Notable areas of capital spending include projects to increase the capacity and efficiency of our plants that produce our Deckorators mineral-based composite and wood-plastic composite decking and our UFP Edge siding, pattern and trim products, expand the capacity of machine-built pallet and site-built business units, and take advantage of automation opportunities.

Cash flows from financing activities consisted of cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $90.8 million. We repurchased approximately 1.21 million shares of our common stock for $93.2 million for the year at an average share price of $77.06, of which $90.8 million was paid in cash and the remaining $2.4 million was accrued. The total number of remaining shares that may be repurchased under the program is approximately 1.4 million. Dividends paid during the first six months of 2022 include first quarter dividends of  $12.5 million ($0.20 per share) and second quarter dividends of $15.5 million ($0.25 per share). On July 20, 2022, the Board approved a quarterly dividend payment of $0.25 per share, payable on September 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on September 1, 2022. Net repayments of debt were approximately $2.9 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests were $2.1 million. We have debt maturities of $38.7 million due in December of this year which we intend to repay through operating cash flows and available cash balances.

On June 25, 2022, we had $7.2 million outstanding on our $550 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $535.7 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 25, 2022.

At the end of the second quarter of 2022, we have approximately $1.2 billion in total liquidity, consisting of our net cash surplus and remaining availability under our revolving credit facility and a shelf agreement with certain lenders providing up to $500 million in borrowing capacity.

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 25, 2021.

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.
