Business Description
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LPX), through its various subsidiaries, is a key manufacturer and distributor of building materials. These products primarily serve the needs of new residential construction, renovation and remodeling projects, and the creation of outdoor structures. The company's operations are divided into four principal segments: Siding, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Engineered Wood Products (EWP), and South America. The Siding division offers a comprehensive range of exterior finishing products, including the LP SmartSide and LP SmartSide ExpertFinish trim and siding lines, LP BuilderSeries lap siding, and LP Outdoor Building Solutions. It also produces engineered wood products designed for siding, trim, soffits, and fascia. The OSB segment specializes in the production and supply of structural panel products made from oriented strand board. Its notable offerings include LP TechShield radiant barriers, LP WeatherLogic air and water barriers, high-performance LP Legacy and LP TopNotch sub-flooring solutions, and LP FlameBlock fire-rated sheathing. The Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment provides laminated veneer lumber and related items. It also manufactures LP SolidStart I-joists, which are vital structural components frequently employed in flooring systems for both homes and commercial properties, as well as in roofing applications and other construction uses. The South America segment is responsible for manufacturing and distributing OSB structural panels and siding products within the region. This segment also supports the local construction industry's move towards wood frame building by distributing and selling complementary products. Additionally, it manages timber assets and offers other associated products and services. Louisiana-Pacific Corporation primarily markets its offerings to retailers, wholesalers, and businesses engaged in homebuilding and industrial sectors. Its geographical reach extends across North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Incorporated in 1972, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.
Business History
Price History (1 Year)
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
