General Development of the Business.
UFP Industries, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “the Company,” or “UFP”) is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, India and Australia that design, manufacture and supply products made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials to three segments: retail, packaging, and construction. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
For information relating to current developments in our business please see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 below.
Financial Information About Segments.
ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging”) and UFP Construction (“Construction”), and align with the end markets we serve. Among other advantages, this structure allows for a more specialized and focused sales approach, more efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations that serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment.
The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India and Australia, and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world, and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International segment and Ardellis are referred to as “All Other” throughout this report.
“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of over (under) allocated costs and net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing, which manages supplier relationships and purchases lumber and other materials, UFP Transportation, which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, and UFP Real Estate, which owns and leases real estate. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates.
Narrative Description of Business.
Historically, we owned and operated a number of manufacturing facilities across North America that served our various markets, and we managed those operations primarily on a geographic basis. As part of that structure, the managers of those facilities and geographic business units were responsible for and compensated on the basis of each facility's, unit's, and region's respective financial performance. This structure fostered a strong entrepreneurial and sales culture, as well as significant revenue growth – from 2011 to 2019 our revenues increased from $1.8 billion to $4.4 billion. We believe that the duration and durability of our relationships with many of our customers, which extend over several decades with certain key customers, is a reflection of our strong sales culture and intense focus on providing custom solutions.
Our current structure focuses on our end markets which allows us to better serve our customers, recognize and exploit market opportunities, enhance the efficiency of our operations, and improve the deployment of capital. We continue to maintain our existing compensation philosophy and practices of rewarding the financial performance of our plants, business units, and segments, based upon pre-bonus operating profits and return on investment, to preserve our strong entrepreneurial and sales culture.
Our business segments are functionally interdependent and are supported by common corporate services, such as accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, legal and compliance, and others. We regularly invest in automation and create best practices to improve the efficiency of our manufacturing facilities across each of the segments. The results and improvements from these investments are shared among the segments. This exchange of improvements and ideas has also prompted better and faster innovation for new products, processes, and product improvements.
Importantly, our structure allows us to evaluate market conditions and opportunities, while effectively allocating capital and resources to the appropriate segments and business units. We believe that the diversification and manner in which we operate our business provides an inherent hedge against the inevitable business cycles that our markets experience and over which we have little control. Accordingly, our goal is to provide stable earnings and cash flows to our shareholders. Our diversification and operating practices also mitigate the impact of volatile lumber market conditions experienced by traditional lumber companies.
Retail Solutions segment. Our Retail Solutions segment is comprised of the following business units: ProWood, Deckorators and UFP Edge. The segment is focused on distinct product offerings which are grouped by brands and business units. These groupings may change periodically as opportunities to gain efficiencies occur or new products that deliver increased scale and synergy are developed. The segment primarily sells to three main verticals including big box retailers, independent distributors, and distribution centers including two-step distributors.
ProWood. Our ProWood business unit manufactures and sells pressure-treated lumber products, including decking, fencing, and lattice, as well as decorative and functional lawn and garden products to building products retailers across the U.S. This business unit includes our branded ProWood line of pressure-treated and fire-retardant products used primarily for outdoor decking environments, including associated accessories. It also includes our branded Outdoor Essentials line of lawn and garden products, consisting of wood and vinyl fencing and lattice, garden beds and planters, pergolas, picnic tables, and other landscaping products. Numerous pressure-treaters exist on local and regional scales with none approaching the volume sold by UFP. We estimate we produce approximately 28% of all residential treated wood, 17% of all wood fencing, and 7% of all fire-retardant wood products within the U.S.
Deckorators. This business unit includes the manufacture of wood plastic composite and our patented Surestone™ mineral based composite decking and related decking accessories, including aluminum railing systems, balusters, post caps, and similar products, as well as customized, aluminum fencing. Customers include big box home improvement retailers, regional home centers and two-step distributors. We estimate we manufacture approximately 6-8% of all composite decking and railing in the U.S.
UFP Edge. This business unit manufactures and sells exterior siding, pattern, trim and fascia products. These products include traditional wood, engineered wood and modified wood siding with a variety of finish and profile alternatives as well as primed wood trim boards and fascia. The products also include interior pattern and trim products, as well as pre-painted and primed shiplap and project boards.
UFP Retail Solutions has numerous competitive advantages. We are not aware of any competitor that currently manufactures, treats and distributes a full line of both value-added and commodity-based products, on a national basis, as we do within this segment. We believe the breadth of our product offering, scale and geographic dispersion, proximity of our plants to core customers and key vendors, product innovation initiatives, purchasing and manufacturing expertise, procurement advantages, and service capabilities provide us a competitive edge in this segment.
3
We supply customers in this segment from many of our locations. Our facilities supply mixed truckloads of products delivered to customers with rapid turnaround. Freight costs are a factor in the ability to competitively service this market, especially with treated wood products due to their weight. The proximity of our manufacturing facilities to customer locations is factored into annual sales programs. The Retail segment services two of our largest customers, The Home Depot and Lowes, which accounted for approximately 17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2025, 17% and 11%, respectively, in 2024, and 17% and 12%, respectively, in 2023.
See Note M "Segment Reporting" to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 in Item 8 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Retail Solutions segment.
Packaging segment. Our Packaging segment is comprised of the following business units: Structural Packaging, PalletOne, and Protective Packaging Solutions. We serve a wide variety of regional, national, and global customers across several verticals including building materials, durable goods, agricultural, moving and storage, heavy equipment and automotive.
Structural Packaging. This business unit designs, engineers, manufactures and tests custom packaging products primarily made of wood and metal. These products are custom designed, often including mixed materials, and manufactured based upon specific customer needs and requirements. We utilize combinations of various materials through industrial engineering and testing to promote the best value and functionality for our customers. In Structural Packaging there are regional companies that produce similar product lines and small single-location competitors in most of our markets. We estimate our domestic market share in Structural Packaging to be 10-12%.
PalletOne. This business unit designs and manufactures pallets primarily made of wood and heat-treated wood. Our pallets are designed and manufactured in numerous sizes and configurations and are used by our customers for shipping a wide assortment of consumer and industrial products. This business unit also includes a recycling operation of previously used pallets. Keys to our success in this business unit are low-cost production through expanded automation, including robotics and high efficiency pallet machines, and the procurement of competitively priced industrial grade wood fiber. We own 50% of Dempsey Wood Products, LLC (“Dempsey”), which produces pallet lumber and other industrial wood products in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The lumber Dempsey produces is a crucial product for pallet operations and has been in short supply as larger mills produce less of this type of lumber. PalletOne’s investment in Dempsey helps it secure and grow a critical long-term supply source. There are numerous local and regional pallet manufacturers that compete with PalletOne. We estimate that, as the largest supplier, we manufacture approximately 8-10% of new machine-built pallets nationally.
Protective Packaging Solutions. This business unit consists of a wide variety of products, such as corrugate, foam, labels, strapping and films. These products are primarily sold as additional offerings to our structural packaging products and pallets and are generally sold as a means of providing a more complete solution to our customers' packaging needs and requirements. Over the last several years, we have added additional products and services to this business unit to meet the increasing demand of our customers to provide a wider array of innovative solutions to their packaging and shipping needs. Through the acquisitions of Advantage Label in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Titan Manufacturing, a highly-automated corrugate converter in Flower Mound, Texas, we have become a manufacturer of labels and corrugate boxes, two significant growth categories for UFP Packaging.
Competitive advantages for UFP Packaging include: being a low cost pallet producer due to our supply agreements, investments in vertical integration, and level of automation in our manufacturing plants; our scale and ability to serve large global, national and regional customers; design and engineering expertise, coupled with our ability to manufacture structural packaging with mixed materials, allowing us to provide creative, value-added solutions to our customers; and serving as a single-source supplier offering a wide breadth of products, allowing customers to buy more efficiently.
We plan to acquire companies across the industrial packaging spectrum with capabilities in product categories that allow us to fill geographical gaps that enhance our ability to offer valuable packaging solutions to our customers.
See Note M "Segment Reporting" to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 in Item 8 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Packaging segment.

Construction segment. Our Construction segment is comprised of the following business units: Factory-Built Housing, Site-Built Construction, Commercial Construction, and Concrete Forming.
Factory-Built Housing. This business unit designs and manufactures roof trusses, cut-to-size dimensional and board lumber, plywood, and oriented strand board, all intended for use in the construction of manufactured housing. Our three main verticals in this business unit include producers of mobile, modular and prefabricated homes and, to a lesser extent, recreational vehicles (RV) and cargo trailers. Our principal competitive advantages include our product knowledge, the strength of our engineering support services, the proximity of our regional facilities to our customers, our purchasing and manufacturing expertise and our ability to provide national sales programs to certain customers. As a result of these advantages, we estimate we produce approximately 35% of all roof trusses used in factory-built housing in the United States. We also distribute products such as siding, electrical, plumbing, and many other specialty products to factory-built housing and RV customers. Customer vertical integration strategies have affected us in certain regions, and we’ve taken steps to mitigate this risk by increasing our value as a supplier through innovation and low cost production.
Site-Built Construction. This business unit designs and manufactures roof and floor trusses, wall panels, I-joists and lumber packages as well as engineered wood components used to frame residential and light commercial projects. Historical acquisitions, including Atlantic Prefab, Inc., Exterior Designs, LLC, Patriot Building Systems, LLC, and Endurable Building Products have given the Company manufacturing capability in alternate material components such as metal trusses, sheathed and pre-finished light gauge metal wall panels and aluminum balconies, decks and rail accessories. We also provide framing services for builders in certain regional markets in which we erect the wood structure. We’ve made a variety of investments in automation, allowing us to enhance efficiency and capacity in numerous UFP Construction operations. Our proprietary smartphone application, TrussTrax, provides a convenient, simple way for builders to track orders, shipments and engineered documents 24 hours a day, and has enjoyed wide customer adoption. Our customers in this market are primarily large-volume, multi-tract builders and smaller volume custom builders. We also supply builders engaged in multi-family and light commercial construction. We currently estimate that approximately 70% of the unit's business is for single-family homes while 30% is for multi-family structures.
Competition in site-built construction consists of numerous national and regional building products dealers who also manufacture components and/or provide framing services, as well as regional manufacturers of engineered wood components. We believe our primary competitive advantages relate to the engineering and design capabilities of our staff, purchasing and manufacturing expertise, product quality, timeliness of delivery, and financial strength, as well as providing a comprehensive turn-key package, including installation in selected markets. As a result of these strengths, we estimate we produce approximately 12% of all engineered wood components used in housing in the United States. Generally, terms of sale and pricing are determined based on contracts we enter into with our customers. We currently supply customers in these markets from manufacturing facilities in many different states, primarily located in the non-urban Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Texas, and Colorado. We have intentionally avoided markets that have experienced more severe demand volatility for housing. Also, the states in which we have a presence are forecasted to continue to benefit from migration trends in the United States. Freight costs are a factor in the ability to competitively service this market due to the space requirements of these products on each truckload.
Commercial Construction. Our commercial construction business unit primarily includes the operations of idX Holdings, Inc. idX is a designer, manufacturer and installer of highly customized interior fixtures, casework and architectural millwork used in a variety of retail and commercial structures. This business unit serves customers throughout North America and to a lesser extent, Asia and Europe, in healthcare, hospitality, quick service restaurants, retail, and financial, offering comprehensive, streamlined solutions and customized products while managing programs from concept through completion, on a global scale. We believe we are one of the top five custom interior environment providers globally and the largest diversified custom solutions provider.
Concrete Forming. This business unit designs, manufactures and supplies wood forms and related products that are used by our customers to set or form concrete for various structures. This business unit serves four verticals including residential building, non-residential building, distribution, and infrastructure. Our customers in this business unit include general contractors as well as distributors. We believe we are unique in our ability to deliver highly engineered, factory-built solutions to job sites.
5
We believe the diversification of the end markets we serve in our Construction segment as well as the breadth of our products and services represent competitive advantages.
See Note M "Segment Reporting" to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 in Item 8 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Construction segment.
UFP Purchasing/Suppliers. Our purchasing team manages and purchases wood fiber for each of our segments. The three main end markets for softwood lumber in North America – retail, construction, and packaging – align with our three business segments We are the largest converter of solid sawn softwood lumber from North American primary producers (lumber mills). For 2025, we estimate we purchased approximately 6.4% of the 56 billion board feet of North America softwood lumber production. The volume and variety of lumber dimensions purchased allows us to consume all grades and dimensions of what many of our mill suppliers produce, effecting and maintaining long-term, beneficial relationships with many of those suppliers. In turn, this has allowed us to better manage our raw materials inventory (including vendor-managed inventory), lower our costs, and mitigate the volatility of lumber prices.
We use primarily southern yellow pine in our pressure-treating operations and our site-built housing, structural packaging, and machine-built pallet operations in the Southeastern United States. Southern yellow pine is sourced from mills ranging from Texas to the Carolinas. We also use spruce-pine-fir from both Eastern and Western Canada; hemlock, douglas fir and cedar from the Pacific Northwest; inland species of pine, plantation grown radiata and southern yellow pines from South America; and various European softwoods. During 2025 our annual purchases of lumber, excluding panels, totaled approximately $1.7 billion and consisted of the following species and their respective percent of total lumber purchases: southern yellow pine (75%), spruce-pine-fir (12%), and douglas fir (4%), while the remaining 9% of lumber purchases comprise various other species and imports outside of North America. Additionally, we purchased approximately $545 million in plywood and $464 million in other panel products in 2025. There are numerous primary producers for all varieties we use, and we are not dependent on any particular source of supply.
Intellectual Property. We own numerous patents and have several patents pending on technologies related to our business. Examples include our Deckorators brand of composite decking and railing and its proprietary, patented Surestone™ technology used to produce mineral-based composite decking; TrussTrax, a mobile application offered to our Site-Built customers; and the ProWood brand of pressure-treated lumber and outdoor living products. In addition, we own numerous registered trademarks and claim common law trademark rights to several others. As we develop proprietary brands, we may pursue registration or other formal protection. While we believe our patent and trademark rights are valuable, the loss of a patent or any trademark would not be likely to have a material adverse impact on our competitive position.
Backlog. Due to the nature of our retail and industrial businesses, backlog information is not meaningful. The maximum time between receipt of a firm order and shipment does not usually exceed a few days. Therefore, we would not normally have a backlog of unfilled orders in a material amount. The relationships with our major customers are such that we are either the exclusive supplier of certain products and/or certain geographic areas, or the designated source for a specified portion of a customer's requirements. In such cases, either we are able to forecast the customer's requirements, or the customer may provide an estimate of its future needs. In neither case, however, will we receive firm orders until just prior to the anticipated delivery dates for the products ordered.
On December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we estimate that backlog orders associated with our customized interior fixture businesses approximated $56.6 million and $41.9 million, respectively. On December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we estimate that backlog orders associated with our site-built construction businesses approximated $45.9 million and $74.4 million, respectively. The decline is due to a decrease in demand and slowdown associated with tariff policy. We expect that the orders above will be primarily filled within the next fiscal year; however, it is possible that some orders could be canceled.
Environmental. We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.
6
Seasonality. Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season occurring during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters. Please also see the risk factor in Item 1A. Risk Factors under the caption “Seasonality and weather conditions, including those arising from climate change, could adversely affect us.”
Human Capital Management. On December 27, 2025, we had approximately 13,800 employees. For over 70 years, the success of our company has rested on the skill, motivation and performance of our employees. We treat our people honestly and fairly, creating career paths and training opportunities to develop and expand their scope of responsibilities and financial rewards. This approach to human capital, which is embedded in the Company's culture, has fostered an environment where our employees often commit their respective careers to UFP Industries, Inc.
Environmental, Social, and Governance. Matters of sustainability, health and safety, employee welfare, supply chain management, and community engagement are managed by our executive team, with oversight from our Nominating and Corporate Governance and Personnel and Compensation Committees. In July 2025, we published on our website our fiscal year 2024 “Governance Report,” detailing our responsible practices as well as our future outlook. We anticipate publishing on our website our fiscal year 2025 Governance Report during 2026.
Our manufacturing operations have a long history of environmental stewardship through efficiency and energy savings, waste management, and responsible product sourcing. We quantified our 2024 Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our fiscal year 2024 Governance Report and plan to disclose our 2025 Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions in 2026.
We are driven by operational excellence throughout the enterprise and by cultivating a unique culture that provides significant opportunity for professional and personal growth. In managing our human capital, we have focused our efforts on employee health and safety, equal opportunity for all, and learning and development.
At UFP, we welcome all who are willing to work hard. We do not discriminate in hiring, promotion, or opportunity – we believe the best performers should be rewarded commensurately. We prefer hiring people with potential and helping them grow and achieve their goals within our company. To provide opportunity to a broader base of our teammates, we removed the requirement of a 4-year degree for sales and management positions and give credit for work experience. We use our internal training programs and UFP Business School to help employees gain functional knowledge and hone the skills and competencies that allow them advancement to greater roles and responsibilities.
We have a long history of supporting talented and hard-working employees go from factory floor to management, sales and operations roles. These transformations require diligence and dedication, and they demonstrate that regardless of background, our teammates at UFP have a chance to make a better life for themselves and their families. We also recognize the need to hire talented individuals from outside the company who bring special expertise and innovative skills to UFP.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Pressures from various global and national macroeconomic events, including heightened inflation, uncertainty regarding future interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, recent adverse weather conditions, geo-political events, and potential governmental responses to these events have created, and continue to create, significant economic uncertainty and could materially and adversely impact our financial performance. The extent to which these macroeconomic pressures may impact our business, results of operations, costs and financial condition will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and difficult to predict. While we have planned for and anticipate a continuation of soft demand within our markets into 2026, any one or more of the above macroeconomic factors could result in a more severe and longer downturn and/or increased costs, which would have an adverse and potentially material impact on our business and financial performance.
We may be impacted by new tariffs and duties on U.S. imports and foreign export sales and changes in import/export regulations. Instability of established free trade agreements, the potential imposition of new or increased tariffs on U.S. imports or exports, and potential changes to import/export regulations may lead to raw material and finished goods price volatility as well as instability and uncertainty in our supply chain. The proposed tariffs in Canada continue to be paused. If they are activated, the demand for domestic lumber products may increase, which will likely result in higher costs if capacity gets challenged. Although the trade landscape continues to evolve, since we do not own any foreign sawmills and have excellent relationships with our mill partners, we believe we are currently in a strong position to adapt quickly to tariffs without material adverse financial impact after a short adjustment period. We will continue to monitor the market and intend to make decisions quickly to minimize disruption. As of December 27, 2025, 84% of our lumber purchases are from domestic suppliers, 11% are imported from Canada, and 5% are imported from other international suppliers
An increase in foreign tariffs on U.S. goods could curtail our export sales to other countries, which were approximately $239.5 million in 2025, compared to $258.9 million in 2024. Increased tariffs and duties on U.S. imports will increase pricing by adding duty cost, where the duty is sustainable in light of overall unit price, or otherwise constrain supply by eliminating historical production sources by country or commodity type with unsustainable duties. Our purchases that were impacted by tariffs were approximately $407.1 million in 2025 (compared to $390.9 million in 2024), including our import of Canadian Softwood Lumber of approximately $174.9 million in 2025 (compared to $211.8 million in 2024) which is the largest imported commodity. In addition, there is a risk that U.S. tariffs on imports and countering tariffs on U.S. exports could trigger broader international trade conflicts that could adversely impact our business.
We may be impacted by a significant change in the value of the U.S. dollar and our results of operations may be harmed by currency fluctuations and inflation. We purchase a variety of raw materials and finished goods from sources around the world and export certain products. The impact of a change in U.S. dollar exchange rates, and inflation, would impact our import purchases and export sales, which totaled $407.1 million and $239.5 million respectively, in 2025, compared to $390.9 million and $258.9 million in 2024, respectively. In addition, many of our packaging customers export their products; consequently, any adverse impact on those customers from currency fluctuations and inflation may have an adverse impact on our sales to those customers.
Our growth may be limited by the customer demand in the markets we serve, including our construction market which is highly cyclical. Our sales growth is dependent, in part, upon the growth of the markets we serve. If our markets do not achieve anticipated growth, or if we fail to maintain our market share, financial results could be impaired.
We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the "Lumber Market"). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government and environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales, cost of materials, and gross profits. Our products are generally priced to the customer based on a quoted, fixed selling price or "indexed" to the Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profit. The impact on our profitability from changes in lumber prices is discussed in the “Historical Lumber Prices” and "Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results" captions of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section under Item 7 of this Form 10-K. Our lumber costs, including plywood, as a percentage of net sales were 41.6% in 2025, compared to 40.4% in 2024.
A significant portion of our sales are concentrated with two customers. Our sales to The Home Depot and Lowes comprised 17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2025, 17% and 11%, respectively, in 2024, and 17% and 12%, respectively, in 2023.
We may be impacted by vertical integration strategies. In certain markets and product lines, our customers or vendors could pursue vertical integration strategies that could have an adverse effect on our sales. We strive to add value and be a low-cost producer while maintaining competitive pricing in each of our markets to mitigate this risk.
We may be impacted by industry capacity of products we supply. From time to time, we may experience excess capacity among suppliers of certain products in some of the markets we serve. Our selling prices and profitability are impacted during periods of shortages or excess industry capacity relative to market demand. We may also experience limited capacity among suppliers of certain products as a result of supply chain challenges, which may impact our profitability and ability to meet sales objectives.
Our growth may be limited by our ability to make successful acquisitions. A key component of our growth strategy is to complete business combinations. Business combinations involve inherent risks, including assimilation and successfully managing growth. While we conduct extensive due diligence and have taken steps to ensure successful assimilation, factors beyond our control could influence the relative success of these acquisitions.
We may be adversely affected by the impact of environmental and safety regulations. We are subject to the requirements of federal, state, and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that we are at all times in complete compliance with all of these requirements. We have made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental regulations. If additional laws and regulations are enacted, which restrict our ability to manufacture and market our products, including our treated lumber products, it could adversely affect our sales and profits. Changes in the interpretation of existing laws could also adversely impact our financial results.
Seasonality and weather conditions, including those arising from climate change, could adversely affect us. Some aspects of our business are seasonal in nature and results of operations vary from quarter to quarter. In addition, the majority of our products sold to the Retail and Construction markets are used or installed in outdoor construction applications; therefore, short-term sales volume, productivity and gross profits can be negatively affected by adverse weather conditions, particularly in our first and fourth quarters. To the extent changes in the world’s climate have a greater impact on adverse weather conditions, we would expect more variability in our business operations and results. Climate change, which could result in more and more severe and adverse weather events, would likely create greater volatility in our financial results. In addition, it is possible that new legislation or regulation enacted to address the impact of climate change could increase costs for us and our suppliers, including costs associated with raw materials, energy, production, transportation, environmental monitoring and reporting, and capital expenditures.
Inbound and outbound transportation costs represent a significant part of our cost structure. An increase in fuel and other operating expenses will significantly increase our costs. While we attempt to pass these costs along to our customers, there can be no assurance that they would agree to these price increases. Our total inbound and outbound transportation costs were approximately 9.5%, 7.8%, and 9.4% of net sales in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
9
New alternatives may be developed to replace traditional treated wood products. The manufacturers of wood preservatives continue to develop new preservatives. While we believe treated products are reasonably priced relative to alternative products such as composites or vinyl, new alternatives may impact the sales of treated wood products. In addition, new preservatives could increase our cost of treating products in the future.
Cybersecurity breaches or other failures in our information technology systems could disrupt our business. We rely upon information technology systems and network products and the secure operation of these systems and products. Despite security measures, these systems and products may be vulnerable to physical damage, hackers, computer viruses, or breaches due to errors or malfeasance by employees, vendors, or customers. We have experienced such events in the past and, although past events were immaterial, future events may occur and may be material. Our failure to successfully identify and manage these risks and uncertainties could disrupt our operations and increase our costs, which could negatively impact our results of operations.
Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is an emerging area of technology that has and may further impact various aspects of our business operations, and we may not be successful in our artificial intelligence initiatives, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We have made, and expect to continue making, investments in the integration of artificial intelligence into our platforms, products, and services. However, AI presents various risks, challenges, and potential unintended consequences that could disrupt our ability to effectively integrate and leverage these technologies. The integration of AI may also require significant capital investment, specialized talent, and new safety protocols, and we may be unable to recruit or retain personnel with the necessary expertise. Additionally, competitors may develop more effective or efficient AI solutions, potentially undermining our competitive position. The regulatory environment surrounding AI is still in development, and new laws or regulations could emerge that require substantial adjustments to our business practices. These changes could impose unexpected costs or operational disruptions, and the full scope and impact of such regulatory developments remain uncertain. If we suffer adverse consequences due to any of these factors, it could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and operations.
Our financial results could be negatively impacted by costs associated with product liability, casualty, manufacturing and construction defects, and other claims. From time to time, we are exposed to claims relating to product liability, casualty events, manufacturing and construction defects, and similar claims, including as the result of the conduct of our employees and subcontractors. These claims could have a negative impact on our results of operation and financial condition, including through increased litigation costs, insurance-related costs, and damage to our reputation and customer relationships.
We may be adversely affected by the impact of pandemics and similar outbreaks. Disease outbreaks could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results. These outbreaks may adversely impact our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Any such outbreak, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and businesses to limit the spread of any outbreak, may result in adverse changes in customer demand and our sales, interfere with the ability of our employees and suppliers to perform and function in a manner consistent with targeted objectives and otherwise adversely impact the efficiency of our operations. This may cause us to materially curtail certain segments and could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and cash flow.
Adverse economic conditions and our customers’ ability to operate may impact their ability to pay. This may result in higher write-offs of receivables than we normally experience. We continue to monitor our customers’ business activities, payment patterns, and credit profiles carefully and make changes in our terms when necessary in response to this risk. As a result, our accounts receivable aging as of December 27, 2025 was approximately 90% current. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales was 0.01%, 0.05%, and 0.03%, in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. During the most difficult collection period of the Great Recession, from 2008 through 2010, our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales averaged 0.25%.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
Risk Management and Strategy.
We recognize the importance of managing cybersecurity risks to protect our business operations, assets, data, and stakeholders. This is achieved through implementation of an enterprise-wide security risk management program, risk-based approach to cybersecurity program management, and an internal security control framework. We employ a structured approach to frame, assess, treat and monitor risks to determine if such risks are material.
Material cybersecurity risks are identified, assessed and managed in several ways. Cybersecurity risk management processes are embedded in our enterprise-level activities, business processes as well as day-to-day operations. This includes but is not limited to:
As of the date of this report, we have not experienced any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. While we have not identified any such material risks to date, we recognize that the threat landscape is constantly evolving. We remain committed to our structured approach to identifying and managing these risks as a core component of our business resilience strategy.
Governance.
Management’s Role. Primary responsibility for risk management, including cybersecurity risks, lies with management. Our management team actively assesses and manages material cybersecurity risks through a structured framework. The CIO and Director of Cybersecurity lead our efforts in managing these risks:
Our cross-functional cybersecurity team, composed of experts with decades of combined experience, supports the CIO and Director in implementing our cybersecurity program. This team consults with legal, HR, and IT specialists to assess the materiality of cybersecurity risks and incidents, using a well-established Incident Response Plan that includes clear escalation measures.
Board of Directors Oversight. The role of the Board of Directors with respect to our cybersecurity program is one of oversight of management, and the Board has delegated primary oversight authority over the program to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees these risks as outlined in its Charter, which mandates reviewing the company's information technology framework, practices, and implemented controls to monitor and mitigate IT risks.
12
The Audit Committee meets quarterly and receives reports and briefings from the CIO, Director of Cybersecurity, and the cybersecurity team on emerging threats, risk status, and mitigation strategies. The Committee engages with the cybersecurity team to increase their understanding of the specific issues facing the Company and to challenge the team as appropriate. The Committee also may consult external cybersecurity experts as needed to fulfill its oversight role. The Audit Committee regularly reports to the Board on matters addressed during the Committee’s quarterly meetings, including any material cybersecurity risks or developments.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
As of January 27, 2026, there were approximately 2,531 record holders of our common stock.
Our dividend rates are typically reviewed and approved at each of our February, April, July, and October board meetings and payments are typically made in March, June, September, and December of each year. On February 12, 2026, our board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, which represents a 3% increase from the quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share paid in 2025. This dividend will be payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 2, 2026. Our board considers our dividend yield, payout ratios relative to earnings and operating cash flow, and potential variability of future results, among other factors, as part of its decision-making process. Further declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by our board.
See Part III - Item 12 below for information about securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.
Stock Performance Graph:
The following stock price performance graph compares the annual percentage change in the cumulative total return on our common stock with the cumulative total returns of companies comprising the NASDAQ US Benchmark TR index and an industry peer group we selected. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on December 26, 2020, and reinvestment of dividends in all cases.
The companies included in our self-determined industry peer group are as follows:
American Woodmark Corporation
Masco Corporation
Boise Cascade Company
Patrick Industries, Inc.
Builders FirstSource, Inc.
Simpson Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Gibraltar Industries, Inc.
Smurfit Westrock plc
Greif, Inc.
Sonoco Products Company
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation
Trex Company, Inc.
The returns of each company included in the self-determined peer group are weighted according to each respective company’s stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period presented in the graph above. In determining the members of our peer group, we considered companies who selected UFPI as a member of their peer group, and looked for similarly sized companies or companies that are a good fit with the markets we serve.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Director Compensation Plan
A portion of the annual retainer payable to each of our non-employee directors (such portion for each director was $135,000 for 2025) is paid in shares of our common stock. The retainer is deemed earned in equal quarterly installments on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. We use the market price per share on each such installment date (or the preceding trading day if there were no trades on that installment date) to determine the number of shares issuable to each non-employee director, and except as described below, the shares are issued to the director within five business days.
We maintain a Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which non-employee directors can elect to (1) receive shares of our common stock, on a deferred basis, in lieu of all or a portion of the annual retainer payable to the director in cash (which deferred cash is used to purchase our common stock on a deferred basis at the rate of 110% of the deferred cash amount), and/or (2) defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual retainer payable to the director in the form of our common stock. Any shares of common stock issuable to a director on a deferred basis pursuant to the Plan are not actually issued until the deferred payment date specified pursuant to the Plan, which is typically after a director’s retirement from the Board. However, on the date such shares are deemed earned by the director, we issue deferred stock units (“DSUs”) to a bookkeeping account for each director to represent the shares issuable in the future pursuant to the Plan. Directors who have DSUs credited to their account pursuant to the Plan receive additional DSUs credited to their account whenever a dividend is paid on the Company’s common stock.
On November 1, 2025, the Company issued 1,098 shares of its common stock to non-employee directors as part of the annual retainer payable to directors in stock (i.e., shares that were issued on a current basis and not deferred pursuant to the Plan). The Company issued all shares described in this paragraph pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 due to the fact that the issuance of the shares was made on a private basis pursuant to the Plan.
18
Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) which allows key employees to defer a portion of their salary and/or cash incentive compensation. Participants in the DCP may elect to invest the deferred amounts in certain investment alternatives, including our common stock. Also, under the DCP, if a key employee’s ownership of our common stock is below certain targeted thresholds, the amount of deferral must be used to invest in shares of our common stock. All amounts deferred to the DCP that are invested in our common stock are invested at a price per share representing a 15% discount to the prevailing market price of our stock. In general, each employee receives a payout of his or her DCP account one year from the date her or she terminates employment with the Company, unless termination of employment is due to retirement, death or change in control, in which case the employee or his or her beneficiary may receive the distribution earlier, subject to DCP provisions. The Company issued all shares described in this paragraph pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 due to the fact that the issuance of the shares was made on a private basis pursuant to the DCP. On February 20, 2025, we issued a total of 70,528 shares to employees who elected to defer a portion of their annual incentive bonus into our common stock. In addition, shares were issued on the respective employees’ last payroll dates in each month. During the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 we issued 43,218 shares over the course of the year to employees who elected to defer a portion of their salaries into our common stock, which were as follows:

Overall lumber prices in 2025 have increased compared to 2024 despite overall weak demand in the end markets that primarily consume softwood lumber – new housing, housing repair and remodel activity, and industrial (including packaging) – as a result of higher duties on Canadian lumber imported to the United States and capacity curtailments in the U.S. and Canada.
IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS
We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our dollar sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 41.6% and 40.4% of our net sales in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.
Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.
23
For each of the product pricing categories above, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices. As a result of the balance in our net sales to each of our end markets, we believe our gross profits are more stable than those of our competitors who are less diversified.
The greatest risk associated with changes in the trend of lumber prices is on the following products:
In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits but does impact our margins. Gross margins and operating margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low. As a result of this factor, we believe it is useful to compare our change in units sold with our change in gross profits, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and operating profits as presented in the following table.

The results above reflect the impact of generally weaker demand across most of the end markets we serve as well as more competitive pricing and higher material costs for most of 2025. Notwithstanding our recent results, it is our long-term goal to increase our gross profits and earnings from operations at a rate of growth that exceeds our unit sales growth, or in other words, increase our profit per unit sold. We also have a long-term goal of improving our efficiencies and leveraging the fixed costs in our selling, general, and administrative expenses as we grow, which would result in a rate of growth of these expenses which is less than our unit sales growth resulting in a lower cost per unit.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET PURCHASES
We completed two business acquisitions during 2025 that had annual historical sales of approximately $24 million in aggregate. During 2024 we completed one business acquisition that had approximately $25 million in annual historical sales. These business combinations were not significant to our operating results; consequently pro forma results for 2025 and 2024 are not presented.
See Note C “Business Combinations” of our Consolidated Financial Statements which are presented under Item 8 below for additional information.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percentage of gross profit. Over time, we believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A these strategies require. This ratio also mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices. The increase in the ratio of SG&A as a percentage of gross profit from the prior year is primarily due to the impact of competitive pricing and higher material costs for most of the year, which has reduced our gross profits.

OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT
Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging and UFP Construction, and align with the end markets we serve. Among other advantages, this structure allows for a specialized and consistent sales approach, more efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit, and business units are included in our Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India and Australia and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) are included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of over (under) allocated costs and net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing, which manages supplier relationships and purchases lumber and other materials, UFP Transportation, which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, and UFP Real Estate, which owns and leases real estate. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates.

Retail Segment:
Net sales from the Retail segment decreased 6% in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a 1% increase in selling prices and a 7% decrease in units. Unit changes within this segment consisted of decreases of 27% in UFP Edge, as we complete the closure of our Bonner, Montana plants and transition production to other facilities, and 6% in ProWood; while Deckorators unit sales were flat. Additionally, our unit sales to big box customers, which we believe are more closely correlated with repair and remodel activity, decreased approximately 7%, while unit sales to independent retailers, which we believe are more closely correlated to new housing starts, decreased approximately 9%. The decline in ProWood volume is primarily due to higher interest rates and weaker consumer sentiment resulting in a softening of demand to complete repair and remodel projects.
Within our Deckorators business unit, our sales of wood-plastic composite decking and Surestone™ mineral-based-composite decking increased 20%. Of the 20% increase in net sales for our Deckorators business unit, wood-plastic composite decking and mineral based-composite decking (sold under our new Surestone™ tradename) increased 5% and 36% from the prior year, respectively. The increases were offset by railings, which declined 23% from the prior year. The decline in our railing sales is due to lost market share with a big box customer which began impacting sales at the beginning of the year. However, we gained market share with another big box customer which began to more favorably impact the sales of our mineral-based composite decking products beginning in July with most of the growth from these market share gains expected to be realized in 2026. Our long-term goal is to double our market share of composite decking and railing over the next 5 years.
29
Gross profits declined by $43 million, or 11%, and totaled $346 million in 2025 compared to $389 million in 2024. The change in gross profit was attributable to the following:
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) within our Retail segment increased $9 million, or 4%, in 2025 compared to 2024. This increase is a result of a $20 million increase in advertising expenses primarily related to Deckorators. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in wages and benefits of $5 million, a decrease in accrued bonus expense of $5 million, and decreases across several other accounts totaling $1 million. Accrued bonus expense varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, and totaled approximately $42 million in 2025.
Earnings from operations of the Retail segment decreased in 2025 compared to 2024 by $64 million, or 36%, as a result of the factors mentioned above as well as a foreign exchange loss totaling $1 million and an increase in the net loss on disposition and impairment of assets, which was comprised of machinery and equipment impairments and losses of $11 million, lease impairment charges of $2 million and intangible asset impairment charges of $1 million, partially offset by a gain on the sale of real estate totaling $5 million. The prior year included a $3 million net loss on disposition and impairment of assets which was comprised of lease impairment charges and intangible asset impairments, offset by foreign exchange gains of $3 million.
Packaging Segment:
Net sales from the Packaging segment decreased 2% in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a 2% decrease in selling prices, and a 1% decrease in organic unit sales, partially offset by an acquired business which contributed 1% to unit growth. The decrease in prices is primarily due to competitive price pressure. The decrease in units was due to organic unit declines of 3% in Structural Packaging and 2% in PalletOne, which was partially offset by an increase in unit sales of 8% in Protective Packaging due to geographic expansion and market share gains.
Gross profits decreased by $36 million, or 12%, to $266 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in gross profits was attributable to the following:
30
SG&A expenses within the Packaging segment decreased by approximately $11 million, or 6%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in SG&A was due to decreases in insurance expense of $3 million, sales incentive compensation of $2 million, travel expenses of $2 million, accrued bonus expense of $2 million, and several smaller decreases in many accounts totaling $2 million. Accrued bonus varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, and totaled approximately $29 million for 2025.
Earnings from operations of the Packaging segment decreased by $15 million in 2025, or 15%, compared to 2024 due to the factors discussed above. The losses were offset by net gains on the disposition of assets totaling $3 million, compared to a $7 million loss in 2024.
Construction Segment:
Net sales from the Construction segment decreased 5% in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a 5% decrease in selling prices, while unit sales remained flat. Increases in unit sales of 7% in each of our Factory-Built, Commercial, and Concrete Forming business units were fully offset by a decrease in unit sales of 11% in Site-Built.
Gross profits decreased by $81 million, or 18%, to $358 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following:
SG&A expenses within the Construction segment decreased by approximately $25 million, or 9%, in 2025 compared to 2024. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $10 million compared to last year and totaled approximately $36 million for 2025. The decline in SG&A was also due to decreases in wages and benefits of $4 million, sales incentives of $4 million, insurance costs of $2 million, gains on insurance settlements of $2 million, and several smaller decreases in many accounts totaling $3 million.
Earnings from operations of the Construction reportable segment decreased by $56 million in 2025 compared to 2024, or 32%, due to the factors mentioned above.
All Other Segment:
Our All Other reportable segment consists of our International and Ardellis (our insurance captive) segments that are not significant.
Corporate:
The Corporate segment consists primarily of over (under) allocated costs which are not significant and net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing, UFP Transportation, and UFP Real Estate.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in 2025 decreased by $2 million compared to 2024 due to a $40 million debt repayment at the end of 2024 on our Series 2012 Senior Note Tranche B, which matured on December 17, 2024. See “Note E of our Consolidated Financial Statements” which are presented under Item 8 below.
INTEREST AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Interest and investment income decreased by $22.0 million in 2025 compared to 2024 due to the decrease in cash and a lower interest rate earned on those deposits as well as an impairment loss of $6.5 million on an investment in our Innov8 Fund recorded in the fourth quarter.
INCOME TAXES
Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes, and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 24.5% in 2025 compared to 22.5% in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our state income tax expense as a result of timing differences in the deductibility of R&D costs between federal and state, as well as an increase in nondeductible officer compensation relative to overall income.

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, and issuance of long-term notes. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition that occurred many years ago. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe these financial ratios are among many other important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.
32
Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season occurring during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters.
Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables are outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle increased to 63 days in 2025 from 60 days in 2024.

The increase in our days supply of inventory in 2025 is due to additional safety stock inventory resulting from anticipated supply chain disruptions and new stocking programs in the Deckorators business unit. The increase in our days of sales outstanding is primarily due to the UFP Edge business unit resulting from a decline in sales due to restructuring. We continue to focus on past due account balances with customers, and the percentage of our accounts receivable that are current was 90% in both 2025 and 2024.
Our cash flows from operating activities in 2025 were $546 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $296 million, $253 million of non-cash expenses, and a $3 million increase in working capital since the end of December 2024. Our cash flows from operations decreased by $97 million compared to last year primarily due to a $54 million increase in our investment in net working capital compared to the prior year period and a decrease in our net earnings and non-cash expenses of $43 million.
Capital expenditures of $269 million comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during 2025. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, primarily in our Deckorators and ProWood business units, and Packaging segment. Additionally there were investments to achieve efficiencies through automation in all segments and to make improvements to a number of facilities. On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $135.4 million. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows. Cash used for acquisitions during the year totaled $18 million compared to $30 million in 2024. In 2025, we completed two acquisitions, RWP West, LLC and National Supply, LLC. See Note C “Business Combinations” of our Consolidated Financial Statements which are presented under Item 8 below for additional information. Our cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $31 million of proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment as we divest assets that do not meet our profitability targets and strategic objectives.
Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consisted of:
As of December 6, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks. This facility includes up to $60 million which may be advanced in the form of letters of credit, and up to $100 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) which may be advanced in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Sterling, Euros and such other foreign currencies as may subsequently be agreed upon among the parties. Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Company, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. We are charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 15.0 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon our performance.
On December 27, 2025, we had no amount outstanding on our $750 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also supports letters of credit totaling $39.2 million which includes approximately $3.3 million related to industrial development revenue bonds. As a result, we have approximately $710.8 million in remaining availability. We also had approximately $1.3 million of outstanding letters of credit that were issued outside of the revolving credit facility. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on December 27, 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS
See Note L “Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees” of our Consolidated Financial Statements which are presented under Item 8 below.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. Following is a summary of our more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements.
GOODWILL
We evaluate goodwill for indicators of impairment when events or circumstances indicate that this risk may be present. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment are based on market conditions, operational performance and estimated future cash flows. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we have consistently estimated using primarily a weighted average between income and market valuation approaches. We believe this approach is the most appropriate and accurate method to measure the fair value of our intangible assets. We use discounted cash flow analysis with the following assumption: a business is worth today what it can generate in future cash flows; cash received today is worth more than an equal amount of cash received in the future; and future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. The discounted cash flow analysis is based on the present value of projected cash flows and residual values.
If the carrying value of goodwill is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded to adjust it to its fair value. Changes in forecasted operations and changes in discount rates can materially affect these estimates. In addition, we test goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of other events suggest impairments exist. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected future cash flows and market valuation multiples. Changes in these estimates may result in the recognition of an impairment loss.
On our annual testing date of September 27, 2025, the fair values exceeded the carrying values for all reporting units and there were no indicators for impairment. We believe we have sufficient available information, both current and historical, to support our assumptions, judgments and estimates used in the goodwill impairment test.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue for product sales is recognized at the time the performance obligation is satisfied, which is primarily when the goods are delivered to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Generally, title passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.
Performance on construction contracts is reflected in operations using over time accounting, under either the cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.
Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.
SHORT-TERM DEMAND AND OUTLOOK
We believe improvements in demand in the end markets we serve and effectively executing our strategies will allow us to achieve our long-term goals below. However, in the short-term, demand in our markets has contracted due to a variety of macro-economic factors, which will continue to impact our results to varying degrees depending on the severity and duration of this cycle. As a result of these more challenging conditions, we have developed and are executing plans to reduce or eliminate capacity at locations that are not meeting our profitability targets and reduce our SG&A costs. At the beginning of 2025, we announced that our goal through these actions was to improve our operating profits by $60 million by the end of 2026. In 2025, we achieved $35 million of targeted SG&A cost reductions and $7 million of profitability improvements due to capacity consolidations that reduced our cost of goods sold. The reductions in SG&A were partially offset by an additional $20 million of investments in advertising to build our Surestone™ brand of mineral-based composite decking. In 2026, we anticipate capacity consolidations completed in 2025 will reduce our cost of goods sold and improve our profitability by $25 million, primarily in our Retail segment. Therefore, we currently anticipate achieving cumulative cost reductions in 2025 and 2026 totaling $67 million, exceeding our original goal.
The following factors should be considered when evaluating our future results:
LONG-TERM OUTLOOK
GOALS
Our long-term financial goals include:
The Home Improvement Research Institute (“HIRI”) anticipates growth in home improvement spending and has forecasted 4.0% annual growth from 2026 through 2029. Markets remain competitive and we target market share gains with certain retail customers by introducing new value-add products and focusing on customer service.
Our long-term goal is to achieve sales growth by:
Our goal is to increase our sales of wood, wood alternative, and protective packaging products to a wide variety of packaging customers and manufactured wood components for OEM users. We believe the vast amount of hardwood and softwood lumber consumed for packaging applications, combined with the highly fragmented nature of this market, provides us with market share growth opportunities as a result of our competitive advantages in manufacturing, purchasing, and material utilization.
In addition, purchasers of packaging products with a wide geographic footprint increasingly desire to reduce the number of suppliers they buy from, which provides an opportunity to gain market share due to our international presence. We plan to continue to obtain market share by expanding our manufacturing capacity, enhancing our capabilities and product offerings to enhance the solutions we offer our customers, and improving our ability to serve large regional and international customers in targeted markets.
We plan to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that meet our strategic criteria and help us meet these objectives.
Market indicators that should be considered when evaluating future demand for our products in the packaging segment include industrial production, durable goods manufacturing, the PMI, U.S. GDP growth, and others.
The industry consensus estimate of national housing starts for 2026 is 1.34 million, with estimates generally predicting flat to slightly negative growth in 2026 with a softer single-family and multi-family outlook. Housing starts are projected to increase low single-digits in 2027.
The National Association of Home Builders forecasts a 1% decrease in manufactured home shipments from 2025 to 2026 and a 1% to 2% compounded annual growth rate through 2027.
Non-residential construction spending is a market indicator that should be considered when evaluating future demand for our products in our Commercial and Concrete Forming business units within our Construction segment.
GROSS PROFIT
As a result of more challenging market conditions, we continue to reduce or eliminate capacity at locations that are not meeting our profitability targets and to better align capacity with current demand. We anticipate these actions will improve operating profits by $25 million in 2026.
In addition, we believe the following factors are likely to impact our gross profits and margins in the future:
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
As indicated above, we are taking actions to reduce our cost structure to better align it with current demand. We are also investing in the resources needed to achieve our long-term objectives for growth, product innovation, building brand awareness for certain products, and improving our efficiency through technology. With these considerations in mind, we have targeted “core” selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaling approximately $570 million in 2026, excluding highly variable sales incentive and bonus expenses tied to profitability and return on investment, compared to approximately $550 million in 2025 excluding insurance settlement gains. We expect an increase of $20 million in core SG&A primarily due to increases in compensation and related benefits. Additionally, we anticipate sales incentives will be 3% of gross profits (3% of gross profits in 2025) and bonus expense will range from 17% to 18% of pre-bonus operating profits (17% of pre-bonus operating profits in 2025) plus approximately $21 million associated with the vesting expense of shares granted in prior years under our bonus plan ($29 million in 2025). See Note H “Common Stock” of our Consolidated Financial Statements which are presented under Item 8 below for a discussion of future compensation costs related to long-term share-based bonus awards.
On a long-term basis, we expect that our SG&A expenses will primarily be impacted by:
Our cash cycle will continue to be impacted in the future by our mix of sales by segment. Sales from our Construction and Packaging segments generally require a greater investment in receivables than sales in our Retail segment, while our Retail segment generally requires a greater investment in inventory. Also, our net investment in trade receivables, inventory, and accounts payable will continue to be impacted by the level of lumber prices.
Additionally, we expect to spend approximately $300 million to $325 million on capital expenditures, incur depreciation of approximately $153 million, and incur amortization and other non-cash expenses of approximately $50 million in 2026.
On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $135.4 million. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility which is considered sufficient to meet these commitments and working capital needs.
Our dividend rates are typically reviewed and approved at each of our February, April, July, and October board meetings and payments are typically made in March, June, September, and December of each year. On February 12, 2026, our board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, which represents a 3% increase from the quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share paid in 2025. This dividend will be payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 2, 2026. Our board considers our dividend yield, payout ratios relative to earnings and operating cash flow, and potential variability of future results, among other factors, as part of its decision-making process. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
We have a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors, and on July 23, 2025, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2026. As of February 25, 2026, we have approximately $125 million of remaining availability under this authorization. In the past, we have repurchased shares in order to offset the effect of issuances resulting from our employee benefit plans and at opportune times when our stock price falls to predetermined levels.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not enter into any material interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.
On December 27, 2025, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $210.1 million. The estimated fair value is based on rates anticipated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of notes payable included in current liabilities and the revolving credit facility approximated the carrying values as these debt instruments have interest rates that fluctuate with current market conditions.
Expected cash flows over the next five years related to debt instruments, excluding debt issuance costs, are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of UFP Industries, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of UFP Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 27, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 25, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UFP Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Net Sales – Point in Time Revenue - Refer to Note A to the financial statements.
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s point in time revenue for product sales is recognized at the time the performance obligation is satisfied and the majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, the shipping process is typically completed the same day.
Auditing point in time revenue required a significant extent of effort, including the involvement of professionals in our firm with expertise in information technology.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to point in time revenue included the following, among others:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OPERATIONS
We are a holding company whose subsidiaries supply products primarily made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials through three segments: retail, construction and packaging. Founded in 1955, we are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with affiliates throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, India and Australia.
PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “USD”), unless otherwise indicated.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), represent our assets and liabilities and operating results. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. We account for unconsolidated VIEs using the equity method of accounting.
As a result of the investment in Dempsey on June 27, 2022, we own 50% of the issued equity of that entity, and the remaining 50% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owners (“Sellers”). The investment in Dempsey is an unconsolidated variable interest entity and we have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting because we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Per the contracts, the Sellers have a put right to sell their equity interest to us for $50 million and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest for $70 million, which were both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of December 27, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $52.7 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of Dempsey relative to the strike price of the put option.
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
Noncontrolling interest in results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of the income or loss of various consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interest reflects the original investment by these noncontrolling shareholders combined with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of these subsidiaries, net of distributions paid.
FISCAL YEAR
Our fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period, ending on the last Saturday of December. Unless otherwise stated, references to 2025, 2024, and 2023 relate to the fiscal years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of 52 weeks.
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. This topic requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Our investment portfolio includes restricted investments within our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. There are $50.5 million and $39.1 million of restricted investments recorded as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are deemed to be "available for sale" and are, accordingly, carried at fair value being the quoted market value.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES
We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due under a range of terms we offer to our customers. Discounts are offered, in most instances, as an incentive for early payment.
We base our allowances related to receivables on historical credit and collections experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the specific identification of other potential problems, including the general economic climate. Actual collections can differ, requiring adjustments to the allowances. Individual accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a monthly basis, and those balances considered uncollectible are charged to the allowance.

Accounts receivable retainage amounts related to long term construction contracts totaled $7.0 million and $8.6 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. All amounts are expected to be collected within 18 months. Concentration of accounts receivable related to our two largest customers totaled $95.7 million and $112.1 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangible - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Also, this ASU requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Our disclosures required by the new standard have been provided and updated retrospectively for all periods presented. Refer to Note J – Income Taxes.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead and is determined using the weighted average cost method. Raw materials consist primarily of unfinished wood products and other materials expected to be manufactured or treated prior to sale, while finished goods represent various manufactured and treated wood products ready for sale. We have inventory on consignment at customer locations valued at $19.0 million as of December 27, 2025 and $21.8 million as of December 28, 2024.
We write down the value of inventory, the impact of which is reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, if the cost of specific inventory items on hand exceeds the amount we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. These estimates are based on management's judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience.
PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The components of property, plant and equipment as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:
Land and improvements
223,156
200,732
Building and improvements
475,634
430,795
Machinery and equipment

Furniture and fixtures

35,060
Construction in progress
136,855
105,993
Total Property, Plant and Equipment, Gross
Amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Depreciation expense included in Cost of goods sold is $130.4 million, $118.0 million, and $104.8 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense included in Selling, general and administrative expenses is $8.0 million, $6.6 million, and $5.8 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Land improvements
5 to 15 years
Buildings and improvements
10 to 32 years
Machinery, equipment and office furniture
2 to 20 years
Software costs are included in machinery and equipment on the balance sheet with gross amounts and accumulated amortization totaling $4.8 million and $4.6 million as of December 27, 2025, and $5.0 million and $4.8 million as of December 28, 2024, respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), when an indicator of potential impairment exists, we evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets by determining whether unamortized balances could be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows over the remaining lives of the assets. If the sum of the expected future cash flows was less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss would be recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We classify assets and related liabilities as held for sale when the following conditions are met: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the net assets, (ii) the net assets are available for immediate sale, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the sale and transfer of the net assets is probable within one year, (v) the net assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to the current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the net assets. Upon designation as held for sale, we record the assets and related liabilities at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, reduced for the costs to dispose of the assets and related liabilities, which we determined using the estimated proceeds from the sale.
During 2025, we determined real estate properties and machinery and equipment within our Retail and Corporate segments met the criteria as held for sale, and therefore we have classified the related assets as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value measurements for the assets held for sale are generally based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party appraisals. The assets had a carrying value of $6.3 million as of December 27, 2025, after $3.3 million of impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2025. Additionally, we have recognized $13.8 million of gains on the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment that had been classified as assets held for sale during the year. The impairments and gains were included in net loss (gain) on disposition and impairments of assets on the consolidated statements of earnings and. comprehensive income.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized and are subject to impairment tests at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. We review the carrying amounts of goodwill and other non-amortizable intangibles by reporting unit to determine if such assets may be impaired. As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of September 27, 2025, it was determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values and there were no indicators for impairment for all of our reporting units. We believe we have sufficient available information, both current and historical, to support our assumptions, judgments and estimates used in the goodwill impairment test.
Our annual testing date for evaluating goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment is the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter for all reporting units. Additionally, we review various triggering events throughout the year to determine whether a mid-year impairment analysis is required.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
Our foreign operations use the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated using weighted average rates, with translation adjustments included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from re-measuring foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.
INSURANCE RESERVES
Our wholly-owned insurance company, Ardellis Insurance Ltd.(“Ardellis”), was incorporated on April 21, 2001 under the laws of Bermuda and is licensed as a Class 3A insurer under the Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda. On April 14, 2017 the U.S. Branch of Ardellis Insurance Ltd. was granted its Certificate of Authority to transact property and casualty insurance lines as an admitted carrier in the State of Michigan.
52
We are primarily self-insured for certain employee health benefits, and have self-funded retentions for general liability, automobile liability, property and workers’ compensation. We are fully self-insured for environmental liabilities. The general liability, automobile liability, property, workers’ compensation, and certain environmental liabilities are managed through Ardellis; the related assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. Our policy is to accrue amounts equal to actuarially determined or internally computed liabilities. The actuarial and internal valuations are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal actions, medical cost trends, and changes in claims experience could cause these estimates to change in the future.
In addition to providing coverage for the Company, Ardellis provides Excess Loss Insurance (primarily medical and prescription drug) and Excess General Liability and Property Insurance to certain third parties. As of December 27, 2025, Ardellis had 334 such contracts in place. Reserves associated with these contracts were $13.9 million at December 27, 2025, and $12.1 million at December 28, 2024, and are accrued based on third party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Within the three primary segments (Retail, Packaging, and Construction) that the Company operates, there are a variety of written agreements governing the sale of our products and services. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.
Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a third party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If we use a third party for installation, the party will act as an agent to us until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of our total net sales.
We utilize rebates, credits, discounts and/or cash-based incentives with certain customers which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The allocation of these costs are applied at the invoice level and recognized in conjunction with revenue. Additionally, returns and refunds are estimated on a historical and expected basis which is a reduction of revenue recognized.
Earnings on construction contracts are recognized using over time accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations, which is in accordance with ASC 606 as revenue is recognized when certain performance obligations are performed. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs. Under over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced relative to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are recognized in their entirety when such losses become apparent.
53
Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price, and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING OF PRODUCT
Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by the customer are recognized as revenue. Costs incurred related to the shipment and handling of products are classified in cost of goods sold.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition of share-based compensation costs in financial statements based on fair value. Compensation cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (the requisite service period). Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
54
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include non-vested shares of restricted stock in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the performance period. EPS, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to controlling interest, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The computation of EPS is as follows (in thousands):

USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe our estimates to be reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
B.FAIR VALUE
We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

These investments are valued as Level 3 assets and are categorized as “Equity securities.” We evaluate these investments quarterly, including a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 321-10-35-3. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we concluded that one investment was fully impaired, resulting in a $6.5 million loss.
In accordance with our investment policy, our wholly-owned company, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. ("Ardellis"), maintains an investment portfolio, totaling $84.3 million and $69.8 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, which has been included in the aforementioned table of total investments.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, supplemented by the expertise of third-party valuation specialists engaged to assist in determining fair value for intangible assets, including goodwill. As of December 27, 2025, the valuations for the fair value determination of the intangible assets for the above NS and RWP business combinations have not been finalized. Therefore, changes in facts and circumstances may result in adjustments to the initial fair value estimates during the measurement period, which may not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
57
The intangible assets and goodwill for the C&L acquisition were finalized during 2025. In aggregate, acquisitions made during 2025 and 2024 contributed approximately $33.8 million in net sales and a $2.4 million operating loss during 2025.

D.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As described in Note M — Segment Reporting, our segment structure is based upon the markets we serve and goodwill has been allocated to the segments using a relative fair value approach. The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, are as follows (in thousands):

As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of September 27, 2025, all reporting units had fair values that were substantially in excess of their carrying values.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled $7.3 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 related to the commercial unit within the Construction segment, the international unit within the All Other segment, and the Deckorators unit within the Retail segment.

E.DEBT
As of December 6, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks. This facility includes up to $60 million which may be advanced in the form of letters of credit, and up to $100 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) which may be advanced in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Sterling, Euros and such other foreign currencies as may subsequently be agreed upon among the parties. Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Company, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. We are charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 15.0 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon our performance. The facility fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
Outstanding letters of credit extended on our behalf on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 aggregated $40.4 million and $39.7 million, respectively. These letters of credit as of December 27, 2025 are comprised of $39.2 million issued under the revolving credit facility, including approximately $3.3 million related to industrial development revenue bonds, and $1.2 million issued outside of the facility. We had no amount outstanding on the revolver at December 27, 2025, and December 28, 2024. After considering letters of credit, we had $710.8 million and $712.7 million in remaining availability on the revolver on December 27, 2025, and December 28, 2024, respectively. Letters of credit have one-year terms, include an automatic renewal clause, and are charged an annual interest rate of 112.5 to 122.5 basis points, based upon our financial performance.
Long-term debt obligations are summarized as follows on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 (amounts in thousands):
Series 2020 Senior Notes E, due on August 10, 2032, interest payable semi-annually at 3.04%

Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest coverage tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold among other industry standard covenants. We were within all of our lending requirements on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.
On December 27, 2025, the principal maturities of long-term debt and finance lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):

40,199

On December 27, 2025, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $210.1 million, which was $19.9 million less than the carrying value. The estimated fair value is based on rates anticipated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities. We consider the valuations of our long-term debt, including the current portion, to be Level 2 liabilities which rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the liability.
F.LEASES
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We lease certain real estate under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with typical original terms ranging from one to ten years. We are required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs under certain leases, which are variable in nature and not included in the right of use asset or lease liability. Certain leases carry renewal options of five to fifteen years. We believe that future leases will likely have similar terms. We also lease motor vehicles, equipment, and an aircraft under operating lease agreements for periods of one to ten years. We do not typically enter into leases with residual value guarantees. There were no restrictions or covenants imposed by any lease agreements.
We believe finance leases have no significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet and statement of earnings as of December 27, 2025.
As of December 27, 2025, we have no leases that have not yet commenced that would significantly impact our financial position.
There were no lease transactions between related parties as of December 27, 2025.
The rates implicit in our leases are primarily not readily available. To determine the discount rate used to present value the lease payments, we utilize the 7-year treasury note rate plus a blend of rate spreads associated with our 10 to 15 year senior notes along with estimated spreads based on current market conditions. We feel the determined rate is a reasonable representation of our lease population.
Lease costs under non-cancelable operating leases on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

The amounts paid for operating leases, included in the measurement of lease liabilities, were $34.4 million in the year ended December 27, 2025 and $35.2 million in the year ended December 28, 2024. In addition, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were approximately $36.8 million and $45.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

G.DEFERRED COMPENSATION
We have a program whereby certain executives irrevocably elected to defer receipt of certain compensation in 1985 through 1988. Deferred compensation payments to these executives commenced upon their retirement. We purchased life insurance on these executives, payable to us in amounts which, if assumptions made as to mortality experience, policy dividends, and other factors are realized, will accumulate cash values adequate to reimburse us for all payments for insurance and deferred compensation obligations. The investment in life insurance contracts as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, was $13.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, and is recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We also maintain a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of senior management employees who may elect to defer a portion of their annual bonus payments and salaries. The Plan provides investment options similar to our 401(k) plan, including our stock. The investment in our stock is funded by the issuance of shares to a Rabbi trust, and may only be distributed in kind. For Plan participants who defer compensation into our stock, our Executive Stock Match Program provides that the Company will issue additional shares of our common stock to those participants at a rate of 35% of the amount deferred by the participant into our stock. The additional shares issued pursuant to the Executive Stock Match Program are subject to five year vesting. Assets held by the Plan totaled approximately $0.1 million on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, and are included in Other assets. Related liabilities totaled $70.8 million and $67.0 million on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, and are included in Other liabilities and Shareholders’ equity. Assets associated with the Plan are recorded at fair market value. The related liabilities are also recorded at fair market value, with the exception of obligations associated with investments in our stock which are recorded at the market value on the date of deferral.
In addition, see the description of our Director Compensation Plan in Note H “Common Stock” below.
H.COMMON STOCK
We maintain and administer our shareholder approved Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our stock at a share price equal to 85% of fair market value on the purchase date. We have expensed the fair value of the compensation associated with these awards, which approximates the discount. The amount of expense is nominal.
62
We maintain and administer our shareholder approved Director Compensation Plan. The Director Compensation Plan allows eligible members of the Board of Directors to defer the cash portion of their retainer and committee fees, credited in the form of stock units, and receive shares of our stock at the time of or following their retirement, disability or death. The number of shares to be received is equal to the amount of the cash portion of their retainer and committee fees deferred multiplied by 110%, divided by the fair market value of a share of our stock at the time of deferral. The number of units is increased by the amount of dividends paid on our common stock. The units are immediately vested as of the grant date, since they are considered payment for services rendered quarterly. We recognized expense for this plan of $1.7 million in 2025, $2.0 million in 2024, and $1.9 million in 2023. This plan also allows directors to defer payment of the annual retainer paid in the form of our common stock. The number of shares to be received for their portion of the retainer that is deferred is equal to the amount of shares plus the number of shares attributable to cash dividends payable on those deferred shares.
We also maintain and administer our shareholder approved Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "LTSIP”). The LTSIP provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, sales incentive awards, and other stock-based awards.
Pursuant to our Executive Stock Match Program, awards are granted in the year following the requisite service period, which begins at the beginning of each fiscal year, and fully vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note G "Deferred Compensation" for additional information.

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and LTSIP, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $37.8 million, $38.2 million, and $34.9 million and the related total income tax benefits of $9.3 million, $8.5 million, and $8.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the year-ended December 27, 2025, an estimated $11.5 million of share-based bonus awards will be awarded under the LTSIP in 2026 to qualified employees based on the Company’s 2025 performance. Awards granted generally vest after a period of five years from the grant date. In addition to the share-based bonus awards, we also issue performance units that entitle certain employees to receive shares of our common stock to the extent the metrics in those performance units are achieved over a three year period. An estimated $0.5 million of performance units will be awarded in 2026. The number of shares and performance units awarded will be determined using the share price as of the grant date on February 19, 2026. As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we recognized approximately $2.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to share-based bonus awards and performance units for each of those respective performance years.
We have a Sales Incentive Plan for certain eligible employees. Under this plan, sales incentives are determined and calculated using a formula-based approach and estimated monthly based on specific performance metrics. This Plan places a cap on cash payments with the remaining earned incentive being settled in share-based awards. These awards generally vest after a period of five years from the grant date. For the year-ended December 27, 2025, there were no shares issued in 2026 for the 2025 performance year. As of December 28, 2024, we recognized approximately $0.3 million of compensation expense related to share-based sales incentive awards for that performance year.
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, cash received from share issuances under our plans was $2.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
During 2025, we repurchased 4,498,835 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $98.39. During 2024, we repurchased approximately 1,409,266 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $113.53. On July 24, 2024, and announced July 30, 2024, our board authorized the repurchase of up $200 million of outstanding stock through July 31, 2025. This share repurchase authorization was subsequently increased by the board on April 23, 2025, from $200 million to $300 million worth of outstanding stock. Effective July 23, 2025, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2026. This share authorization supersedes and replaces our prior share repurchase authorizations. As of December 27, 2025, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $126 million worth of shares through July 31, 2026.
I.RETIREMENT PLANS
We have a profit sharing and 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all of our employees, excluding the employees of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. Amounts contributed to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We matched 25% of employee contributions in 2025, 2024, and 2023, on a discretionary basis, totaling $7.0 million, $7.7 million, and $8.8 million respectively. Included within the total employee matched contribution was an additional matched contribution for hourly employees of $1.8 million for 2023 based on meeting certain performance goals during those years. There was no additional matched contribution for hourly employees in 2025 and 2024. The basis for matching contributions may not exceed the lesser of 6% of the employee’s annual compensation or the IRS limitation.
We maintain an Executive Retirement Plan for certain officers of the Company (who have at least 20 years of service with the Company and at least 10 years of service as an officer) whereby we will pay, upon retirement, certain benefits including health care benefits, for a specified period of time if certain eligibility requirements are met. Approximately $17.0 million and $16.9 million are accrued in Other liabilities for this plan on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

As of December 27, 2025, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $9.9 million. The NOL carryforwards expire as follows:

As of December 27, 2025, we believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state and foreign NOL carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $3.6 million against the various NOLs. Furthermore, there is a valuation allowance of $0.5 million against a capital loss carryforward we have for a wholly-owned subsidiary, UFP Canada, Inc. Based upon the business activity and the nature of the assets of this subsidiary, our ability to realize a future benefit from this carryforward is doubtful. The capital loss has an unlimited carryforward and therefore will not expire unless there is a change in control of the subsidiary.
The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) reached an agreement among various countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. We continue to analyze the impacts of these legislative changes to our effective tax rate, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. As of December 27, 2025, we do not expect the impact of Pillar Two legislation to have a material impact on our tax expense.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of OBBBA beyond 2025; however, any effects are expected to relate primarily to deferred tax items and are not anticipated to materially impact our effective tax rate.
K.ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES
ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure requirements.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
Gross unrecognized tax benefits beginning of year
5,507
4,771
3,217
(Decrease) Increase in tax positions for prior years
(393)
469
943
Increase in tax positions for current year
1,243
947
1,286
Lapse in statute of limitations
(703)
(680)
(675)
Gross unrecognized tax benefits end of year
5,654
Our effective tax rate would have been affected by the unrecognized tax benefits had this amount been recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.
We recognized interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million for the year December 27, 2025, $0.6 million for the year December 28, 2024, and $0.4 million for the year December 30, 2023.
L.COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES
We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.
On December 27, 2025, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.
On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $135.4 million.
68
We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances, we are required to post payment and performance bonds to ensure the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims properly made against these bonds. As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately $23.7 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $6.0 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.
On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $40.4 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts, industrial development revenue bonds, and other debt agreements described further below.
In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers and other third parties to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts and other legal agreements. As of December 27, 2025, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $37.1 million for these types of arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under those insurance arrangements.
We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $3.3 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.
Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of UFP Industries, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2018 and 2020 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.
We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during 2025 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.
M.SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the chief executive officer, as he has the ultimate decision-making authority related to assessing the Company’s performance and allocating resources. The CODM assesses performance for our segments and decides how to allocate resources based on net sales, cost of goods sold, earnings from operations and net earnings. These metrics are also reported on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses earnings from operations and net earnings to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on investment) in determining wage increase allocations and bonus pools, and in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the business, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.
69
We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and focused sales approach among Company operations, efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations that serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment. Two customers, The Home Depot and Lowes, accounted for approximately 17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2025, 17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2024 and 17% and 12%, respectively, in 2023.
The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India, and Australia and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world, and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.
“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of over (under) allocated costs and net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing, which manages supplier relationships and purchases lumber and other materials, UFP Transportation, which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, and UFP Real Estate, which owns and leases real estate. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates. Total assets in the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, and certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., UFP Transportation, Inc., and UFP Purchasing, Inc. Real estate activities are conducted by the real estate company on behalf of the segments, and capital expenditures associated with real estate are allocated to the segments.
