UFP Industries Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), a leading manufacturer focused on delivering value-added products across its Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments, reported results for the third quarter 2026.
Will Schwartz, President and CEO of UFP Industries, commented, "Organic unit growth strengthened in the third quarter despite continued pressure across several of our end markets, which speaks to the successes we are seeing with our product and market-share initiatives. New products increased to 8.7 percent of net sales, led by continued momentum in our Deckorators, Structural Packaging, and Construction value-added offerings. The breadth of this growth demonstrates the benefits of our balanced portfolio and the investments we have made to drive above-market growth and gain share, even as underlying demand across many of our end markets remains challenged.
Profitability continued to be affected by elevated transportation and material costs, which limited the earnings benefit from higher volumes and an improved earnings profile. We continue to focus on what we can control. We now expect to meet or exceed our initial $60 million cost-savings objective by year-end, and we continue to pursue additional productivity, capacity consolidation, and cost reduction opportunities. We also see further profit-improvement opportunities as we integrate recent acquisitions, improve utilization of our newer facilities, and increase the mix of new and value-added products across our portfolio.
Importantly, the progress we have made in strengthening the underlying profitability of the business remains intact. Our profitability today is meaningfully stronger than it was before our management structure change in 2019, even though transportation costs have increased significantly as a percentage of net sales since then. These higher costs have masked some of the earnings improvement we have made across the portfolio, but we believe our cost actions and operating initiatives provide meaningful opportunities to improve profitability without relying on a near-term market recovery.
Schwartz continued, "Our financial position remains a competitive advantage. We ended the quarter with approximately $2 billion of liquidity and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, giving us the flexibility to invest through the cycle. So far this year, we have completed three acquisitions, announced a fourth, and returned more than $240 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our M&A pipeline remains active, and we will stay disciplined, pursuing opportunities that strengthen our core businesses, expand our value-added portfolio, and meet our return criteria."

Capital Structure, Leverage and Liquidity Information
UFP Industries maintains a strong balance sheet as of September 26, 2026 and had liquidity of approximately $2.0 billion, consisting of more than $677 million of Cash and cash equivalents and $1.3 billion of remaining availability under its revolving credit facility and a shelf agreement with certain lenders. The company's return-focused approach to capital allocation includes the following:
2026 Outlook and Long-Term Targets
Our full year 2026 outlook remains unchanged. We continue to expect overall industry unit demand for the year to be slightly down in each of our segments based on our sales mix. While we have mechanisms to offset these costs, energy and transportation are expected to remain elevated for the balance of the year. Demand tied to new residential construction is expected to remain challenging, while stabilization across most of our other end markets should partially offset that pressure. Accordingly, we are not assuming a meaningful improvement in underlying market demand through year-end. Despite these conditions, we expect to continue outperforming our markets through share gains, growth in new and value-added products, and continued execution of our cost-out initiatives. We also see opportunities to improve profitability through additional cost savings, better utilization of recent investments, and the integration of acquisitions. In addition, initial stocking orders, upgraded manufacturing capacity, and expanded distribution are expected to support continued momentum in our Deckorators' Surestone business.
The company's long-term goals remain unchanged and include: 1) achieving 7-10 percent unit sales growth annually (including bolt-on acquisitions) with at least 10 percent of all sales coming from new products; 2) achieving 12.5 percent adjusted EBITDA margins; 3) earning an incremental return on new investments over our hurdle rate; and 4) maintaining a conservative capital structure.
Conference Call
UFP Industries will host a conference call on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to discuss these results and outlook. The conference call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and will be hosted by CEO Will Schwartz and CFO Michael Cole. Interested investors can access the live webcast directly with this link ( here). A replay of the call will be available through the UFP Investor Relations website www.ufpinvestor.com for at least 90 days following the call.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements, including statements regarding our 2026 outlook, cost-savings objectives, capital allocation, the pending Apache Products acquisition, expected conversion of working capital, and long-term targets, 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. The Company does 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 or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; changes in tariffs, import/export regulations, and other trade policies, including the timing and amount of tariff refunds; concentration of sales to customers; the success of vertical integration strategies; excess capacity or supply chain challenges; inbound and outbound transportation costs and our ability to pass those costs through to customers; alternatives to replace treated wood products; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; our ability to make successful business acquisitions; cybersecurity breaches; artificial intelligence; and potential pandemics. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes certain financial information not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in order to evaluate historical and ongoing operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in order to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of historical and current performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow are intended to supplement and should be read together with the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow should not be considered alternatives or substitutes for, and should not be considered superior to, the reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on the non-GAAP financial measures. See the table below for a reconciliation of Net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Net cash from operating activities to Free cash flow.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. In calculating adjusted EBITDA, we make certain adjustments, including for interest and other (which includes interest and investment income and equity in earnings of investee), share-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on the disposition and impairment of assets, and impairment of intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net earnings as a percentage of net sales (net margin). For the nine months ended September 26, 2026, our net margin was 3.8 percent, and our adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as described above, was 7.6 percent. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items and certain discrete tax items cannot be reasonably predicted due to the long-term nature of this target and the inherent variability and uncertainty of such items. These items could individually or in the aggregate be significant to the difference between adjusted EBITDA margin and the comparable GAAP measure.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, adjusted to exclude the change in investment in net working capital, less maintenance capital expenditures, plus interest expense, net of taxes. Free cash flow does not deduct expansionary and efficiency capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends, or mandatory debt service, and therefore does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
