Forward Guidance
Demand for the products is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity and light commercial construction. Expect demand to remain strong during 2022.
Positive Outlook
- Current demographics in the U.S. continue to create a favorable demand environment for new residential construction.
- Continuation of work-from-home practices by many in the economy.
- Limited new and existing home inventory availability.
- The age of the U.S. housing stock will continue to provide a favorable backdrop for residential construction and repair-and-remodel spending.
- EWP and general line products have historically experienced limited price volatility, and we expect the firm pricing environment to continue during 2022.
Challenges Ahead
- Labor shortages and supply induced constraints on residential construction activity may continue to extend build times and limit activity.
- The pace of residential construction and repair-and-remodeling activity may be affected by the economic impact of the cost of building materials and construction.
- Housing affordability may affect residential construction and repair-and-remodeling activity.
- Increasing mortgage interest rates may affect residential construction and repair-and-remodeling activity.
- Consumer confidence may affect residential construction and repair-and-remodeling activity.
