Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information in this item and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, attached hereto, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On May 5, 2015, Louisiana - Pacific Corporation issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the attached press release discloses continuing earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA from continuing operations”) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, it discloses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations which further adjusts EBITDA from continuing operations to exclude stock based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sales or impairment of long lived assets, other operating charges and credits, investment income, cost of potential acquisitions and depreciation included in equity in loss (earnings) of unconsolidated affiliates. It also discloses adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, cost of acquisition, other operating credits and charges, net, cost of potential acquisitions and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted loss from continuing operations are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or operating cash flows or other GAAP measures of operating performance or liquidity. A copy of the reconciliation of adjusted loss from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

We have EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the press release because we use them as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe that similarly-titled measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present similarly-titled measures when reporting their results. We use EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. It should be noted that companies calculate similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA from continuing operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization which are necessary to operate our business or which we otherwise incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

We believe that adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, cost of potential acquisitions, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings from continuing operations and that providing this measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to in the press release to our earnings for past and future periods. We believe that this measure is particularly useful where the amounts of the excluded items are not consistent between the periods presented. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our business.

LP Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) reported today results for the first quarter of 2015, which included the following:

• Sales for the first quarter of $472 million were higher by 6 percent compared to the year ago quarter.

• Loss from continuing operations was $35 million ($0.24 per diluted share).

• Non-GAAP adjusted loss from continuing operations was $19 million ($0.13 per diluted share).

• Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter was $6 million compared to $23 million in the first quarter of 2014.

• Cash and cash equivalents were $468 million as of March 31, 2015.

“Though we were encouraged by the increase in housing permits, we saw only a slight upswing in North American housing activity in the first quarter,” said Curt Stevens, chief executive officer.  “As a result, OSB prices languished in the quarter on relatively flat volumes compared to last quarter, hurting our results.   On the other hand, our more diversified Siding business posted record results with increased sales in all of its segments including housing, retail, repair and remodel and non-residential structures. ”

ORIENTED STRAND BOARD (OSB) SEGMENT

LP's OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products. The OSB segment reported net sales for the first quarter of 2015 of $190 million, a 2 percent decrease from $195 million of net sales in the first quarter of 2014. For the first quarter of 2015, the OSB segment reported an operating loss of $28 million compared to $2 million in the first quarter of 2014. For the first quarter of 2015, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment decreased by $25 million compared to the first quarter of 2014. For the first quarter of 2015 as compared to first quarter of 2014, sales volumes increased 14 percent and sales prices decreased by 13 percent. The decrease in selling price unfavorably impacted operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by approximately $29 million for the quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

SIDING SEGMENT

LP's Siding segment consists of SmartSide siding as well as LP's prefinished CanExel siding line. These products are used in new construction as well as in the repair and remodeling markets. The Siding segment reported net sales of $174 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 21 percent from $144 million in the year-ago first quarter. For the first quarter of 2015, the Siding segment reported operating income of $33 million compared to $19 million in the year-ago quarter. For the first quarter of 2015, the Siding segment reported $38 million in

adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, an increase of $15 million compared to the first quarter of 2014.

ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT (EWP)

The EWP segment is comprised of I-Joist (IJ), Laminated Veneer Lumber and Laminated Strand Lumber (LVL and LSL). EWP sales in the first quarter of 2015 totaled $65 million, up 4 percent from the year-ago quarter. Operating losses increased to $4 million for the first quarter of 2015 from $3 million in the first quarter of 2014. For the first quarter, the EWP segment showed a decrease of $2 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as compared to the same quarter in 2014.

SOUTH AMERICA SEGMENT

The South American segment consists of facilities in Chile and Brazil. the segment reported sales in the first quarter of 2015 of $36 million, down 2 percent from $37 million in the first quarter of 2014. Operating income was $2 million for the first quarter of 2015compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2014. For the first quarter, LP reported adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in this segment of $5 million, a decrease of $2 million as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

“The planned conversion of our Swan Valley mill to Siding is on track and will provide more product to this growing market,” continued Stevens.  “In OSB and EWP, we are carefully watching customer inventories and managing our production to real demand.  Most of our customers are expecting a stronger upcoming building season and we will be ready to serve their increased needs.”

LP is a premier supplier of building materials, delivering innovative, high-quality commodity and specialty products to its retail, wholesale, homebuilding and industrial customers.
