UFP Industries reported record second quarter results, with net sales reaching $2.7 billion, a 117% increase year-over-year, and net earnings attributable to controlling interest of $173 million, a 161% increase year-over-year. EPS also reached a record $2.78 per diluted share. Recent acquisitions contributed significantly to net sales and EPS.
Net sales increased 117 percent to $2.7 billion, driven by higher selling prices and unit growth from acquisitions and organic sales.
Earnings from operations increased 157 percent to $236.9 million, including the impact of an inventory valuation reserve.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 137 percent, with the adjusted EBITDA margin expanding by 80 basis points to 9.7 percent.
The company maintains a strong balance sheet with liquidity of approximately $288 million, despite increased investment in net working capital.
UFP Industries expects market conditions to normalize during the second half of 2021. While falling lumber prices and more normalized demand create challenging year-over-year profitability comparisons for our retail segment, the stabilized lumber market should benefit our industrial and construction segments. Furthermore, they expect all of our segments to benefit from more stable pricing in 2022.
