Reports Q1 adjusted EBITDA loss $66M. “In the first quarter of 2026 we benefited from improved commodity pricing and continue to demonstrate the resilience of West Fraser’s diversified portfolio. Although net income was impacted by significant non-cash duty adjustments, these relate to prior year shipments. Operationally, our Blue Ridge lumber team did a remarkable job in quickly and effectively restoring operations following the January fire, with no recordable injuries, and the mill is now back to normal operating rates. The wind-down of our High Level, Alberta OSB mill is now complete and reflects our commitment to proactively aligning our supply with customer demand,” said Sean McLaren, West Fraser’s President and CEO. “Excluding the impact of prior year duty adjustments, we were pleased to see all of our core segments – lumber, NA EWP, and Europe EWP – report positive Adjusted EBITDA.”
