Forward guidance
As we begin the fourth quarter, Wood Products continues to make efforts to restore production rates to pre-COVID-19 levels in response to strong end-product demand, particularly for our EWP. However, we continue to experience periodic short-term disruptions at many locations due to COVID-19.
Tailwinds
- Strong end-product demand, particularly for EWP.
- Low mortgage rates creating a favorable demand environment for new residential construction.
- Continuation of work-from-home practices may continue to strengthen repair and remodel spending.
- U.S. demographics support a higher level of housing starts.
- Many national home builders are reporting strong near-term backlogs.
Headwinds
- Periodic short-term disruptions at many locations due to COVID-19.
- Activity levels across distribution network to continue to vary widely as COVID-19 impacts geographies across the U.S. to differing degrees.
- A re-acceleration of COVID-19 cases could prompt state or local officials to reinstitute restrictions that could limit or constrain building activity.
- Economic consequences of COVID-19 may adversely affect the pace of household formation rates and residential repair-and-remodeling activity.
- October 2020 composite lumber and panel prices have declined by approximately 35% and 10% from the peaks reached in September 2020 and are at risk for further price erosion.
