Interfor Deepens Q4 Loss but Bolsters Liquidity Amid Prolonged Lumber Slump

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Interfor ( (TSE:IFP) ) is now available.

Interfor reported a net loss of $104.6 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting weak lumber prices, higher duties and tariffs, and production curtailments. Revenue fell to $600.6 million, as average selling prices declined and the company booked a $69.1 million impairment against Eastern Canadian assets, while also reducing lumber inventories by shipping more than it produced.

To shore up its balance sheet, Interfor executed a series of financing measures including a $143.8 million equity raise, new credit facilities, amendments to its revolving term line and note covenants, and commitments for US$75 million in new senior secured notes maturing in 2034. These steps boost liquidity to about $482 million, extend debt maturities, and provide added flexibility as Interfor navigates prolonged market weakness, while it continues to streamline operations with measures such as monetizing certain Coastal B.C. forest tenures.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:IFP) stock is a Hold with a C$11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Interfor stock, see the TSE:IFP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:IFP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:IFP is a Neutral.

Overall score reflects stressed financial performance (declining revenue, negative margins, and sharply weaker free cash flow) as the primary drag. Technicals are supportive but overbought and still below the 200-day average, while valuation is difficult to justify with negative earnings and no dividend data. Earnings-call takeaways are mixed: stronger liquidity and cost discipline offset by EBITDA losses, production cuts, weak pricing, and higher U.S. duties.
