Forward guidance
The company is providing financial guidance for the first quarter of 2024 and full year 2024. Guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks.
Tailwinds
- Siding Net sales year-over-year growth 3% to 5% (Q1 2024)
- Siding Net sales year-over-year growth 8% to 10% (FY 2024)
- Siding Adjusted EBITDA $65 million to $70 million (Q1 2024)
- OSB Adjusted EBITDA $65 million to $75 million (Q1 2024)
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $130 million to $145 million (Q1 2024)
Headwinds
- Reconciliation of Siding Adjusted EBITDA, OSB Adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts.
- Our inability to reconcile these measures results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.
- Sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliation, such as business exit charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted U.S. GAAP measures.
- The Company expects that these adjustments may potentially have a significant impact on future GAAP financial results.
- Capital expenditures related to strategic growth and sustaining maintenance projects are expected to be between $50 million to $60 million and $150 million to $160 million, respectively.
