Company Guidance
During the Q3 2024 earnings call for UFP Industries, significant guidance was provided, focusing on aggressive cost reduction strategies and a cautious outlook for 2025. The company aims for over $70 million in annualized cost reductions by consolidating facilities, exploring strategic alternatives for certain EBITDA-positive businesses, and reducing SG&A expenses. UFP Industries reported a 10% sales decline to $1.65 billion and a 21% drop in adjusted EBITDA to $165 million, with an EBITDA margin of 10%.

Despite these challenges, UFP remains optimistic about long-term growth, supported by new product initiatives and strategic acquisitions.
