Forward guidance

The company expects a favorable demand environment for new residential construction to continue in 2021 and into next year. Repair and remodel spending may also remain elevated. Supply side constraints and COVID-19 impacts may continue to affect operations.

Tailwinds

  • Low mortgage rates are expected to continue.
  • Work-from-home practices are expected to continue, driving housing demand.
  • U.S. demographics support a higher level of forecasted housing starts.
  • Many national home builders are reporting strong near-term backlogs.
  • Repair and remodel spending may remain elevated as homeowners invest in existing homes.

Headwinds

  • There continues to be a heightened level of economic uncertainty due to the pandemic.
  • Supply induced constraints on residential construction and repair-and-remodeling activity may continue to extend build times and limit activity.
  • COVID-19 related short-term disruptions at BMD locations.
  • Activity levels across distribution network continue to vary widely as COVID-19 or weather impacts geographies across the U.S. to differing degrees.
  • Future commodity product pricing will be dependent on the impact of COVID-19 on residential construction, capacity restoration and industry operating rates, net import and export activity, transportation constraints or disruptions, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.
