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 of America. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. We account for unconsolidated VIEs using the equity method of accounting.

As a result of the investment in Dempsey on June 27, 2022, we own 50% of the issued equity of that entity, and the remaining 50% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owners (“Sellers”). The investment in Dempsey is an unconsolidated variable interest entity and we have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting because we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Per the contracts, the Sellers have a put right to sell their equity interest to us for $50 million and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest for $70 million, which are both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $63.0 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of Dempsey relative to the strike price of the put option.

We also made an investment in UFP Palets y Embalajes SL (UFP Palets) on September 20, 2023, in which we own 80% of the issued equity of that entity, and the remaining 20% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owner (“Seller”). The investment in UFP Palets is accounted for using the equity method of accounting because we do not have control as a result of certain rights granted to the minority shareholder. Per the contract, the Seller has a put right to sell their equity interest to us and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest, which are both first exercisable in September 2026. The values of the put and call options are based upon future performance. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in UFP Palets is $53.6 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of UFP Palets relative to the strike price of the put option.

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 31, 2022.

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 September 24, 2022 balances in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

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 and is being applied prospectively to all business combinations occurring after this date.

B.       FAIR VALUE

Our fixed income investments consist of a blend of US Government and Agency bonds and investment grade corporate bonds with varying maturities. Our equity investments consist of small, mid, and large cap growth and value funds, as well as international equity. Our mutual fund investments consist of domestic and international stock. Our alternative investments consist of a private real estate income trust which is valued as a Level 3 asset. The net pre-tax unrealized gain of the portfolio was $0.9 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Carrying amounts above are recorded in the investments and restricted investments line items within the balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

C.       REVENUE RECOGNITION

Within the three primary segments, UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging” and formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction (“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.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

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.

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 September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2023, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $81.3 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. 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 September 30, 2023, we had approximately $14.4 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $12.6 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On September 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.8 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts, industrial development revenue bonds, and other debt agreements described further below.

12

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers and other third parties to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts and other legal agreements. As of September 30, 2023, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $44.5 million for these types of arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under those 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 $3.3 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 third quarter of 2023 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

F.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

We completed the following acquisitions since the end of the third quarter of 2022, which were accounted for using the purchase or equity method. Dollars below are in thousands unless otherwise noted:

Titan Corrugated, Inc. (Titan) and All Boxed Up, LLC (ABU)

Located in Flower Mound, TX and founded in 2003, Titan’s primary products include boxes used in moving and storage, jumbo boxes for industrial products, corrugated shipping containers, and point-of-purchase displays. ABU distributes common box sizes manufactured by Titan throughout the United States. The combined companies had trailing 12-month sales through October 2022 of approximately $46.5 million.

The purchase accounting valuation of the UFP Palets investment is yet to be finalized. The allocation of intangible assets for Titan and ABU are final. In aggregate, investments completed since the end of the third quarter of 2022 and not consolidated with other operations contributed approximately $32.6 million in net sales and $2.0 million in operating profits during the first nine months of 2023.

The business combinations mentioned above were not significant to our operating results individually or in aggregate, and thus pro forma results for 2023 and 2022 are not presented.

In the case of locations that 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 22.7% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 25.4% in the same period of 2022 and was 23.3% in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 24.8% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our overall effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference and an increase in our R&D tax credit.

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 and is determined using the weighted average cost method. 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 were not significant as of September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022.

K.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to our reporting date, we repurchased 208,057 shares for $20.1 million, at an average share price of $96.48.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UFP Industries, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that design, manufacture, and supply products made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials to three segments: retail, packaging, and construction. Our business segments are functionally interdependent and are supported by common corporate services, such as accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, marketing, purchasing, transportation, legal and compliance, among others. We regularly invest in automation and implement best practices to improve the efficiency of our manufacturing facilities across each of the segments. The results and improvements from these investments are shared among the segments. This exchange of ideas drives faster innovation for new products, processes, and product improvements. While the majority of our facilities serve only one business segment, many of our larger facilities serve two or more segments.

We believe that our operating structure allows us to better evaluate market conditions and opportunities and more effectively allocate capital and resources to the appropriate segments and business units. Also, we believe our diversification and manner in which we operate our business provide an inherent hedge against the business cycles our end markets experience and over which we have limited control. Accordingly, we have the ability to provide more stable earnings and cash flows to our shareholders. Our diversification and operating practices also mitigate the impact that more volatile lumber market conditions have on traditional lumber companies. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich. For more information about UFP Industries, Inc., or its 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. We do 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 currency and inflation; fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; concentration of sales to customers; vertical integration strategies; excess capacity or supply chain challenges; our ability to make successful business acquisitions; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; adverse or unusual weather conditions;  inbound and outbound transportation costs; alternatives to replace treated wood products; Cybersecurity breaches; tariffs on import and export sales; and potential pandemics. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in our 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 third quarter of 2023.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the third quarter of 2023 include the following highlights:

Our net sales decreased 21% compared to the third quarter of 2022, which was comprised of a 12% decrease in selling prices and a 9% decrease in organic unit sales. The overall decrease in our selling prices is primarily due to lower lumber prices and a more competitive pricing environment in certain of our business units. Organic unit declines consisted of 7% in our retail segment, 9% in our packaging segment, and 13% in our construction segment. Acquired businesses contributed 2% unit growth in our packaging segment.

17

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our gross profits decreased by $85.8 million, or 19.1%, compared to the same period of the prior year, exceeding our 9% decline in unit sales. By segment, gross profits decreased by $55 million in Construction and $50 million in Packaging, while Retail experienced a $24 million increase in gross profits. The overall decrease in our gross profits is primarily due to the decline in unit sales, unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs, and more competitive pricing in certain business units.  These unfavorable factors were partially offset by more favorable lumber price trends in 2023 on products sold in our Retail segment that are based on variable selling prices.
Our operating profits decreased $70 million, or 29.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. The overall decrease is a result of the decline in gross profits mentioned above offset by a $19 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Our SG&A declined primarily due to our incentive compensation plans which are tied to profitability and return on investment. Our decremental operating margin comparing our decrease in operating profits relative to our decrease in net sales was 14.1%.
Our cash flows from operations was $712 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to $533 million during the first nine months of 2022. The $179 million improvement resulted from an increase in net working capital that was $332 million lower in the first nine months of 2023 than it was in 2022, offset by a $153 million decrease in net earnings and non-cash expenses compared to the prior year.
Our net cash surplus at the end of September 2023 was $682 million compared to $128 million at the end of September 2022. 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 $2.2 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2023.

Lower overall lumber prices in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to increased capacity of the supply of lumber in North America combined with an increase in imports from other countries while demand for lumber has declined. 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 dollar sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 38.9% and 51.9% of our sales in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease from the prior year ratio reflects the significant decrease in the Lumber Market as well as an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products and 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). Additionally, as explained below, product categories can be priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while our variably priced products have pricing 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.

19

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 customers’ needs and carry appropriate 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. Sales of these products are highest in the third quarter, primarily due to seasonal demand for 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. As a result of the balance in our net sales to each of our end markets we believe our gross profits are more stable than those of our competitors who are less diversified.

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 includes treated lumber, which comprised approximately 21% of our total net sales in the first nine months of 2023. 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 managed inventory programs with our vendors. We estimate that 19% of our total purchases for the first nine months of 2023 were transacted under these programs. (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 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 one business acquisition using the equity method during the first nine months of fiscal 2023. We completed four business acquisitions in fiscal 2022. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed during the first nine months of 2023 is approximately $38 million, while acquisitions completed during the last three months of 2022 had annual historical sales of approximately $47 million. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2023 and 2022 are not presented.

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

As a result of the impact of the level of lumber prices on the percentages displayed in the table above (see Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results), we believe it is useful to compare our change in units sold with our change in gross profits, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and operating profits as presented in the following table.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs 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.

Operating Results by Segment:

Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging” and formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction (“Construction”), and align with the end markets we serve. Among other advantages, this structure allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach, 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. Business units are allocated among our Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments.

NET SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products, primarily used to enhance outdoor living environments; for national home centers and other retailers; for engineered wood components, structural lumber, and other products for factory-built and site-built residential and commercial construction; for customized interior fixtures used in a variety of retail stores, commercial, and other structures; and structural wood packaging, components and packing materials for various industries. Our strategic long-term sales objectives include:

Maximizing unit sales growth while achieving return on investment goals. The following table presents estimates, for the periods indicated, of our percentage change in net sales attributable to changes in overall selling prices versus changes in units shipped.

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, and increasing our market share with independent retailers.
Expanding geographically in our core businesses domestically and in our core packaging business 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 in the Retail segment; structural and protective packaging and machine-built pallets sold in the Packaging segment; engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, manufactured and assembled concrete forms sold in the Construction segment; 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, metals and plastics sold in each of our segments. 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. We estimate that approximately 82% of our sales consist of products we manufacture at our locations, while 18% of our sales consist of products manufactured by suppliers that we inventory and distribute to customers.

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 decreased approximately 9% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 compared to 2022. Our overall unit sales of commodity-based products decreased approximately 10% in the third quarter and approximately 9% in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period last year.

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 and meet our internal definition of value-added products. New product sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 decreased 2% and 3%, respectively, due to a decline in lumber prices, which were passed to customers in our selling prices. Approximately $13.5 million of new product sales for the first nine months of 2022, while still sold, were sunset in 2023 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 $795 million in 2023.

Retail Segment

Net sales in the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 16% compared to the same period of 2022 due to a 9% decline in selling prices and a 7% decline in organic units. Our selling prices of variable-priced products declined due to lower lumber prices. The selling prices of these products are indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped. Additionally, our unit sales to big box customers, which we believe are more closely correlated with repair and remodel activity, increased approximately 1%, while unit sales to independent retailers, which we believe are more closely correlated to new housing starts, decreased approximately 22%.

Gross profits increased by $23.9 million, or 30.9% to $101.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the following:

The gross profits of our Sunbelt and ProWood business units increased by a total of $20.6 million.  The products sold by these units consist primarily of pressure treated lumber sold at a variable price indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped. The improvement in profitability is primarily due to the greater utilization of our managed inventory programs and the unfavorable impact a decline in lumber prices had on our profitability during the third quarter of 2022.
The gross profit of our Deckorators business unit increased by $6.8 million due to an increase in sales of new products and operational improvements.

SG&A increased by approximately $7.6 million, or 15.6%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, increased approximately $5.0 million from the third quarter of 2022 and totaled approximately $13.1 million for the quarter. The remaining increase was primarily due to a $1 million increase in advertising.

Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment increased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 by $16.4 million, or 56.7%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2023 decreased by 20% compared to the same period of 2022, due to a 17% decrease in selling prices and a 3% organic unit decline. Our selling prices of variable-priced products declined due to lower lumber prices. The selling prices of these products are indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped.  Unit sales to big box customers increased approximately 6%, while unit sales to independent retailers decreased approximately 18%.

Gross profits increased by $31.8 million, or 11.2% to $316.8 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Our increase in gross profit was attributable to the following:

The gross profits of our Sunbelt and ProWood business units increased $26.2 million, primarily due to less volatile lumber prices during the first nine months of 2023 compared to severe volatility in the same period of 2022. The products sold by these units consist primarily of pressure treated lumber sold at a variable price indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped.
The gross profit of our Deckorators business unit increased by $16.1 million due to an increase in overall unit sales, sales of new products, and operational improvements.

SG&A increased by approximately $10.7 million, or 6.7%, in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, increased approximately $7.5 million and totaled approximately $40.0 million for the first nine months of 2023. Additionally, increases in salaries and wages of $2.0 million and advertising expenses of $3.4 million were offset by decreases in sales incentive compensation of $2.3 million and a reduction in bad debt expenses of $1.4 million.

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

Earnings from operations for the Retail reportable segment increased in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 2022 by $21.7 million, or 17.4%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.

Packaging Segment

Net sales in the third quarter of 2023 decreased 23% compared to the same period of 2022, due to a 16% decrease in selling prices and a 9% decrease in organic unit sales, offset by acquisition unit growth of 2%. The decrease in unit sales is primarily due to a decline in demand from existing customers. The decline in prices is due to competitive price pressure as well as lower lumber costs.

Gross profits decreased by $49.9 million, or 34.7%, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in gross profits is primarily due to competitive price pressure due to lower demand as well as lower unit sales, and unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs. Acquisitions contributed $1.3 million to gross profit.

SG&A decreased by approximately $14.0 million, or 21.0%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $6.5 million relative to the third quarter of 2022, and totaled $13.4 million for the quarter. Additionally, bad debt and incentive compensation expense decreased $5.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, from the prior year. These decreases were offset by an increase in salaries and wages of $2.3 million. Acquired operations since the third quarter of 2022 contributed approximately $0.7 million to our SG&A costs.

Earnings from operations for the Packaging reportable segment decreased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 by $35.9 million, or 46.4%, due to the factors discussed above.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2023 decreased 24% compared to the same period of 2022, due to a 19% decrease in selling prices and a 7% decrease in organic unit sales, partially offset by acquisition unit growth of 2%. The decrease in unit sales is primarily due to a decline in demand from existing customers. The decline in prices is due to competitive price pressure as well as lower lumber costs passed to customers.

Gross profits decreased by $122.4 million, or 26.9%, for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in gross profits is primarily due to competitive price pressure due to lower demand as well as lower unit sales, and unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs. Acquisitions contributed $6.7 million to gross profit.

SG&A decreased by approximately $20.8 million, or 10.4%, in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $18.0 million, and totaled $45.3 million for the nine months of 2023. Additionally, our bad debt expense decreased by $12.8 million, and incentive compensation expense decreased by $4.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in salaries and wages of $7.3 million, travel related expenses of $2.3 million, and several small increases in several different accounts. Finally, acquired operations since the first nine months of 2022 contributed approximately $4.7 million to our increase in costs.

Earnings from operations for the Packaging reportable segment decreased in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 2022 by $100.9 million, or 39.7%, due to the factors discussed above.

Construction Segment

Net sales in the third quarter of 2023 decreased 25% compared to the same period of 2022, due to a 12% decrease in selling prices and an organic unit decline of 13%. Organic unit changes within this segment consist of decreases of 1% in concrete forming, 8% in factory-built housing, 15% in site-built construction, and 27% in commercial construction. The organic unit declines in our site-built and factory-built housing business units are due to the impact of higher interest rates on the

28

Table of Contents

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

demand for housing which has resulted in a 15% year over year decline in national housing starts and a 19% year over year decline in manufactured housing production in the third quarter of 2023. The organic unit decline in commercial construction is primarily due to a decline in market demand. As of September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, we estimate that our backlog of orders in our site-built construction business unit were $91 million and $118 million, respectively. The decline in pricing was due to competitive price pressure as well as the decline in lumber prices, which were passed to our customers.

Gross profits decreased by $54.8 million, or 27.4%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following:

Gross profits in our factory-built housing and site-built construction business units decreased by $6.8 million and $41.5 million, respectively, due to competitive price pressure, lower sales volumes and unfavorable cost variances due to fixed manufacturing costs.
The gross profit of our concrete forming business unit decreased by $3.9 million due to a decline in selling prices.
The gross profit of our commercial construction business unit decreased $2.5 million as a result of lower unit sales.

SG&A decreased by approximately $14.2 million, or 15.8%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $7.9 million, and totaled $19.5 million for the quarter. The remaining decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales incentive compensation of $3.1 million, professional fees of $2.7 million, and bad debt expense of $1.0 million.

Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment decreased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 by $40.8 million, or 37.0%, due to the factors mentioned above.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2023 decreased 35% compared to the same period of 2022, due to a 19% decrease in selling prices and a decline in organic unit sales of 16%. Organic unit changes within this segment consisted of decreases of 17% in site-built housing, 17% in factory-built housing, and 22% in commercial construction. These declines were partially offset by 1% organic unit growth in concrete forming. The decline in pricing was due to competitive price pressure as well as the decline in lumber prices, which were passed to our customers.

Gross profits decreased by $184.6 million, or 31.4%, for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following:

Gross profits in our factory-built housing and site-built construction business units decreased by $65.4 million and $107.7 million, respectively, due to competitive price pressure as well as lower sales volumes and unfavorable cost variances due to fixed manufacturing costs.
The gross profit of our concrete forming business unit decreased by $13.0 million due to a decline in selling prices.

SG&A decreased by approximately $49.7 million, or 18.7%, in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $27.7 million, and totaled $51.1 million for the first nine months of 2023. The remaining decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales incentive compensation of $15.1 million, professional fees of $4.6 million, and bad debt expense of $4.0 million. These decreases were offset by small increases in several SG&A accounts.

Earnings from operations for the Construction reportable segment decreased in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 2022 by $136.3 million, or 42.3%, due to the factors mentioned above.

All Other Segment

Our All Other reportable segment consists of our International and Ardellis (our insurance captive) segments that are not significant. The decline in sales and earnings from operations is primarily due to our operation in Mexico that exports moulding and millwork products to the U.S.

Corporate

The corporate segment consists of over (under) allocated costs that are not significant.

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 22.7% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 25.4% in the same period of 2022 and was 23.3% in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 24.8% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our overall effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference, and an increase in our R&D tax credit.

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, 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 that occurred many years ago. 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 typically increases during our first and second quarters resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we tend to 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 of payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle decreased to 62 days from 63 days during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period and increased to 65 days from 60 days during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the prior year.

1 We’ve modified our calculation of days of payables outstanding to be based on the cost of goods sold and accounts payable balances in our monthly financial statements.  In prior periods, our calculation was based on invoice data. We’ve made this change to simplify the calculation and more easily integrate acquired operations into our financial metrics. The three months and nine months prior year metrics have been restated for the new method which reduced days of payables from a previously reported 20 days to 12 days and 20 days to 13 days, respectively.

The decrease in our days supply of inventory for the quarter is due to improvements in inventory turns in our factory-built and site-built construction business units. The increase in our days of sales outstanding for the quarter is primarily due to receiving slightly less timely payments from customers in our site-built construction business unit. We continue to focus on past due account balances with customers, and the percentage of our accounts receivable that are current was 94% and 91% at the end of the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2023, our cash flows from operations were $712 million and were comprised of net earnings of $411 million, $123 million of non-cash expenses, and a $178 million decrease in working capital since the end of December 2022. Our cash flows from operations increased by $179 million compared to the same period of last year primarily due to a $332 million decrease in our investment in net working capital compared to the prior year period, offset by a decrease in our net earnings and non-cash expenses of $153 million. The elevated decrease in our net working capital this year was due to the drop in lumber prices and the softening of demand.

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $131 million comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2023. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $81 million on September 30, 2023. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, primarily in our Packaging segment and Deckorators and ProWood business units, achieve efficiencies through automation in all segments, make improvements to a number of facilities, and increase our transportation capacity (tractors, trailers). We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year. Cash used for acquisitions during the first nine months of 2023 amounted to $52 million. Cash used for acquisitions in the same period of the prior year amounted to $105 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consisted of:

Cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $62 million. We repurchased 766,812 shares of our common stock for the year at an average share price of $80.95.

Dividends paid during the first nine months of 2023 include first quarter dividends of $16 million ($0.25 per share), second quarter dividends of $15 million ($0.25 per share) and third quarter dividends of $19 million ($0.30 per share).
Contingent consideration payments of $6 million.
Distributions to noncontrolling interests of $7 million.

On September 30, 2023, we had $3 million outstanding on our $750 million revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $709 million in remaining availability after considering $37 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 September 30, 2023.

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, we have approximately $2.2 billion in total liquidity, consisting of our cash surplus, remaining availability under our revolving credit facility, and a shelf agreement with certain lenders providing up to $535 million in remaining 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 31, 2022.

FORWARD OUTLOOK

Most recently, our long-term goals have been to:

Grow our annual unit sales by 5-7%. We anticipate smaller tuck in acquisitions will continue to contribute toward this goal;
Achieve and sustain a minimum 10% adjusted EBITDA margin by continuing to enhance our capabilities, improve efficiencies through automation, and grow our portfolio and sales of value-added products;
Earn an incremental return on new investment over our cost of capital;
Maintain a conservative capital structure.

We believe effectively executing our strategies will allow us to achieve these long-term goals in the future. However, demand in the markets we serve has contracted and overall economic conditions indicate the U.S. economy may enter a recession, which may impact our future results, depending on its severity and duration. The following factors should be considered when evaluating our future results:

Lumber prices, which impact our cost of goods sold and selling prices, have normalized due to additional capacity added by sawmills and demand falling from peak levels due to inflation and an increase in interest rates. We anticipate lumber prices will follow more typical seasonal patterns consistent with historical trends and demand and remain at lower levels for the remainder of 2023 relative to 2022.

Retail sales accounted for 42% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023. When evaluating future demand for the segment, we analyze data such as the same-store sales growth of national home improvement retailers and forecasts of home remodeling activity. Based on this data, we anticipate market demand to be slightly down for the balance of 2023.
Packaging sales accounted for 25% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023. When evaluating future demand, we consider several metrics, including the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), durable goods manufacturing, and U.S. real GDP. We estimate industrial production to remain consistently down for the balance of 2023.
Construction sales accounted for 29% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023.
-The site-built business unit accounted for approximately 13% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023. Approximately 25% of site-built sales are to multifamily builders. More than 75% of our site-built residential housing sales are in areas such as Texas and the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Mountain West regions, which have experienced significant population growth through migration from other states and are forecasted to continue to grow over the long term. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from housing starts in those regions. The consensus estimates of all housing starts is for a 10% to 12% decline in 2023.
-The factory-built housing business unit accounted for 10% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023. This business, along with our multifamily business, could benefit from higher interest rates as buyers seek more affordable housing alternatives over time. When evaluating future demand, we analyze manufactured housing production data. The National Association of Home Builders forecasts a 21% decrease in manufactured home shipments in 2023.
-The commercial construction and concrete forming business units accounted for approximately 4% of our net sales for the first nine months of 2023. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from non-residential construction spending.
On a consolidated basis, and based on our 2023 forecasted results of operations and business mix, we currently believe our annual decremental operating margin is in a range of 11% to 14% of net sales (revised from previous estimate of 10% to 15%). In other words, we believe for every dollar decrease in sales, relative to the prior year, our earnings from operations may decline by $0.11 to $0.14. Our decremental operating margin for the first nine months of 2023 was 12.8%. As a point of reference, our peak to trough decremental operating margin during the Great Recession was approximately 13.5% (2006 peak to 2011 trough). We currently estimate our annual decremental operating margins by segment as follows:
-Packaging in a range of 24% to 27% (revised from previous estimate of 20% to 25%). Our decremental operating margin for the first nine months of 2023 was 22.5%.
-Construction in a range of 14% to 17% (revised from previous estimate of 14% to 19%). Our decremental operating margin for the first nine months of 2023 was 15.3%.
-We currently anticipate improvement in operating profits in our Retail segment in 2023, primarily due to an expectation of less volatile lumber prices in 2023 and other operational improvements. The severe volatility of lumber prices in 2022 and 2021 adversely impacted the results of this segment.
Key factors that may impact the ranges provided above include estimates of:
-The impact and level of the Lumber Market and trends in the commodity and other material costs of our products
-Changes in our selling prices
-Changes in our sales mix by segment, business unit, and product
-Changes in labor rates

-Our ability to reduce variable manufacturing, freight, selling, general, and administrative costs, particularly certain personnel costs, in line with net sales
-The results of our salaried bonus plan, which is based on pre-bonus profits and achieving minimum levels of pre-bonus return on investment over a required hurdle rate
-Inflation and other changes in costs

Capital Allocation:

We believe the strength of our cash flow generation and conservative capital structure provides us with sufficient resources to grow our business and also fund returns to our shareholders. We plan to continue to pursue a balanced and return-driven approach to capital allocation across dividends, share buybacks, capital investments and acquisitions. Specifically:

On October 24, 2023, our board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, which represents a 20% increase from the prior year. This dividend will be payable on December 15, 2023, to shareholders of record on December 1, 2023. We continue to consider our payout ratio and yield when determining the appropriate dividend rate.
For the first nine months of 2023, we repurchased 766,812 shares of our common stock at an average price of $80.95 per share. On July 26, 2023, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2024. This share authorization supersedes and replaces our prior share repurchase authorizations. We currently have remaining authorization to repurchase up to $173 million through July 31, 2024.
We’ve lowered our targeted range for capital expenditures to $175-$200 million, which will continue to be impacted by extended lead times required for most equipment and rolling stock. Priority continues to be given to projects that enhance the working environments of our plants and take advantage of automation opportunities, expand our transportation capacity, and drive strategies that have strong long-term growth potential of new and value-added products.
We continue to pursue a healthy pipeline of acquisition opportunities of companies that are a strong strategic fit and enhance our capabilities while providing higher margin, return, and growth potential.

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 enter into any material 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 have been immaterial to the financial statements.

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 September 30, 2023 (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 September 30, 2023, 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.
