UFP Industries Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

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 2025.

• Net Sales of $1.56 billion decreased by 5 percent due to a 1 percent decrease in price and a 4 percent decline in organic units.
• Diluted earnings per share of $1.29 compared to $1.64 a year ago.
• Net earnings attributable to controlling interest of $76 million compared to $100 million a year ago.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $140.0 million in the quarter, or 9.0 percent of net sales compared to 10.0 percent a year ago.
• New product sales were 7.6 percent of total sales.
• Repurchased approximately $350 million in company shares year to date in 2025.
• Reaffirming volume outlook across each business segment for the remainder of 2025.

Will Schwartz, President and CEO of UFP Industries commented, “Our third quarter played out largely as anticipated and reflective of the competitive environment we are seeing across our end markets. Visibility remains limited, particularly in markets tied to residential construction; however, trends across the majority of our business units have shown signs of stabilizing, demonstrating the benefits of our balanced portfolio and the team we have in place. I’m proud of how our team has navigated these challenging market conditions with our adjusted EBITDA margin approximately 200 basis points higher than 2019 levels despite competitive pricing and weaker demand, startup costs associated with growth investments and substantial investments to build our Surestone brand. We plan to gain market share, strengthen return on capital, and achieve margin improvements. As part of this plan, we will have reduced structural costs by $60 million from 2024 levels by the end of 2026.”

Schwartz continued, “Looking ahead, we are driving innovation across the product portfolio and making strategic investments to create shareholder value. Our long-term capital plans remain aggressive, with a bias toward driving growth through investment in our most attractive opportunities. M&A remains a key component to our capital allocation strategy, and we have identified targets across each of our business units that complement our core strengths. Our robust financial position remains a competitive advantage enabling us to repurchase approximately $350 million of our shares through the end of October, while increasing our cash dividend year over year. Grounded in the strength of our team and business model, we remain focused on the strategies to grow our core, higher margin businesses, develop innovative new products and drive operational efficiencies across our network of plants. We are confident in our ability to continue executing as we move into next year.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

UFP Consolidated

UFP Retail

• ProWood organic unit sales declined 5 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Deckorators organic unit sales grew 5 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Retail gross profit and adjusted EBITDA fell 14 percent and 22 percent, respectively, from year ago levels. Falling lumber prices, temporary startup costs associated with the expansion of our Surestone product launch, inefficiencies from our Edge restructuring efforts, and higher marketing spend drove declines in the quarter. These were partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses despite higher advertising investments to build the Surestone brand.

UFP Packaging

• Structural Packaging organic unit sales declined 5 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• PalletOne organic unit sales declined 4 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Protective Packaging unit sales grew 15 percent in the quarter from a year ago.
• Packaging gross profit and adjusted EBITDA fell 5 percent and held flat, respectively, from year ago levels. Gross profit declines were primarily due to PalletOne because of price competition as we are executing our strategy to increase market share. Adjusted EBITDA was flat as the decline in gross profit was offset by a decrease in SG&A.

UFP Construction

• Site Built organic unit sales declined 15 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Factory Built organic unit sales grew 4 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Concrete Forming Solutions organic unit sales grew 12 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Commercial organic sales grew 13 percent in the quarter from year ago levels.
• Construction gross profit and adjusted EBITDA each fell 18 percent, respectively from year ago levels. Weaker volumes and competitive pricing in our Site Built business led the declines in the quarter as our other businesses reported profit growth in the quarter.

Capital Structure, Leverage and Liquidity Information

UFP Industries maintains a strong balance sheet and as of September 27, 2025, had liquidity of approximately $2.3 billion consisting of $1.0 billion of cash 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:

• Acquisitions and Organic Growth. The company seeks strategic acquisitions and invests in organic growth opportunities when acquisition targets are not available at valuations that will allow us to meet or exceed targeted return rates. In 2024, the company announced up to $1 billion in capital investments through 2028 for automation, technology upgrades, geographic expansion, and increased capacity at existing facilities. The company expects to invest approximately $275 million to $300 million on capital projects in 2025.
• Dividend payments. On October 23, 2025, the UFP Industries Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.35 per share, which represents a 6 percent year over year increase. This dividend is payable on December 15, 2025, to shareholders of record on December 1, 2025. We continue to consider our payout ratio and yield when determining the appropriate dividend rate and have a long-term objective of increasing our dividend in line with our earnings growth.
• Share repurchases. As of September 27, 2025, we have repurchased 2.8 million shares for $291 million, at an average share price of $103.04 for the year. In October, we have repurchased an additional 615k shares for $56 million, at an average price of $91.03.

2025 Full Year and Long-Term Outlook

Our 2025 outlook remains largely unchanged. We continue to anticipate the softer demand and competitive pricing environment will remain through the balance of 2025 and are planning for low single-digit unit declines in each of our segments. We anticipate a more significant decline in markets tied to new residential construction, but we continue to expect to see some level of stabilization in most of our other businesses units as an offset. We expect initial stocking orders and expanded manufacturing and distribution capabilities will support momentum in our Deckorators’s and Surestone business through the remainder of the year and into 2026.

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
