West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. is a diversified wood products company operating over 50 facilities across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, specializing in sustainable forest practices and producing a variety of wood-based products for construction and industrial applications.
In its second quarter of 2025, West Fraser reported sales of $1.532 billion but faced a net loss of $24 million, translating to a loss of $0.38 per diluted share. The company’s Adjusted EBITDA stood at $84 million, marking a significant decline from the previous quarter. The company also renewed a $1 billion credit facility and extended a $300 million term loan while repurchasing shares worth $33 million.
The lumber segment reported an Adjusted EBITDA of $15 million, while the North America Engineered Wood Products segment achieved $68 million. However, the Pulp & Paper segment faced challenges with an Adjusted EBITDA of negative $1 million. The company is grappling with reduced demand in its North American markets due to housing affordability issues and potential impacts from U.S. tariffs.
Looking ahead, West Fraser anticipates medium to long-term demand for its products to be supported by factors such as improved housing affordability and an aging housing stock in North America. However, near-term uncertainties persist due to potential tariff impacts and economic conditions. The company remains focused on cost control and strategic investments to maintain operational flexibility and growth potential.
