UFP Industries reports Q3 EPS $1.29, consensus $1.37

Reports Q3 revenue $1.56B, consensus $1.61B. Will Schwartz, President and CEO of UFP Industries (UFPI) 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.”
