Forward guidance

Economic uncertainty due to the pandemic continues. However, low mortgage rates, continuation of work-from-home practices by many in the economy, and demographics in the U.S. have created a favorable demand environment for new residential construction, particularly single-family housing starts, which we expect to continue in 2021 and into next year.

Tailwinds

  • Low mortgage rates.
  • Continuation of work-from-home practices by many in the economy.
  • Demographics in the U.S. have created a favorable demand environment for new residential construction, particularly single-family housing starts, which we expect to continue in 2021 and into next year.
  • Age of the U.S. housing stock and limited home inventory availability will continue to provide a favorable backdrop for repair and remodel spending.
  • Many national home builders are reporting strong near-term backlogs.

Headwinds

  • Economic uncertainty due to the pandemic continues.
  • Labor shortages and supply induced constraints on residential construction activity may continue to extend build times and limit activity.
  • We expect the recent decline in home improvement demand to continue near-term as travel restrictions are rescinded and pent-up demand for leisure spending occurs.
  • Lumber pricing was very volatile during second quarter 2021, with rapidly rising prices in April and most of May followed by sharp price declines during the remainder of the quarter.
  • Current composite panel and lumber prices have declined by approximately 53% and 48% from levels at the end of second quarter 2021.
