Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this item and Exhibit 99.1 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 7, 2019, Louisiana - Pacific Corporation (LP) issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, 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 Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations) which is calculated as continuing earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, income (loss) attributed to non-controlling interest, stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net and other non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by net sales, is disclosed. It also discloses Adjusted income from operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, income (loss) attributed to non-controlling interest, income (loss) associated with discontinued operations, other operating credits and charges, net, and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from operations are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or other GAAP measures of operating performance.
We have Adjusted EBITDA in the press release because we use it as important supplemental measure 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 Adjusted EBITDA 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 has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax 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 from operations, which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, income(loss) attributed to non-controlling interest and other operating credits and charges, net, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings 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 from 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.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As part of LP's on-going succession planning, Rebecca Barckley, LP's Principal Accounting Officer, informed the Company on May 6, 2019 of her intention to resign effective December 31, 2019.

First Quarter Performance

"Although the first quarter results were impacted by increasing macro environment headwinds, our transformation into a leading building solutions company continues," said Brad Southern, LP Chief Executive Officer. "Our first quarter results include 13 percent revenue growth in LP SmartSide Trim & Siding, the launch of two new innovative products, LP SmartSide Smooth Trim & Siding and LP WeatherLogic, and we increased our volume of Structural Solutions (value-added OSB) to 40 percent of total OSB sold."

Strategic Update

LP sees continued growth opportunities in its Siding business and is re-affirming its long term SmartSide Strand revenue growth target of 12-14 percent. In addition, LP reports operational improvements through overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and supply chain optimization of $8 million in the first quarter of 2019. This improvement is part of our opportunity to improve EBITDA by $75 million by 2021 through the following controllable levers:

$40 million from sustainable improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness across its Siding and OSB mills;





Approximately $25 million from supply chain optimization across its $1.1 billion of addressable spend (approximately $8 million of incremental impact annually); and
$10 million from its investment in line management and infrastructure optimization.
Execution of Capital Allocation Plan
During the quarter, LP entered into a $400 million accelerated share repurchase program and purchased the remaining $38 million under the previous $250 million stock repurchase authorizations. LP reaffirms its commitment to the maximum liquidity target of $400 million, comprising $200 million in cash on hand and $200 million in available debt capacity. Additionally, LP announced its quarterly cash dividend of $0.135 per share will be paid on June 3, 2019 to shareholders of record on May 21, 2019.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains statements concerning Louisiana-Pacific Corporation's (LP) future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in governmental fiscal and monetary policies, including tariffs, and levels of employment; changes in general economic conditions; changes in the cost and availability of capital; changes in the level of home construction and repair activity; changes in competitive conditions and prices for our products; changes in the relationship between supply of and demand for building products; changes in the relationship between supply of and demand for raw materials, including wood fiber and resins, used in manufacturing our products; changes in the cost of and availability of energy, primarily natural gas, electricity and diesel fuel; changes in the cost of and availability of transportation; changes in other significant operating expenses; changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and Chilean peso; changes in general and industry-specific environmental laws and regulations; changes in tax laws, and interpretations thereof; changes in circumstances giving rise to environmental liabilities or expenditures; the resolution of existing and future product-related litigation and other legal proceedings; the amount and timing of any repurchases of our common stock and the payment of dividends on our common stock, which will depend on market and business conditions and other considerations; the costs, and acts of public authorities, war, civil unrest, natural disasters, fire, floods, earthquakes, inclement weather and other matters beyond our control. Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which LP's forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which LP cannot control, and production volumes and costs, some aspects of which LP may not be able to control. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements are discussed in greater detail in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.







Use of Non-GAAP information
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release discloses segment earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exclude stock based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sales or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial measure. It also discloses Adjusted income from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, interest outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, early debt extinguishment and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income 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.
LP has Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it uses this as important supplemental measure 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. LP uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance as compared to other companies in its 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 LP may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA 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 LP otherwise incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of its business.
LP believes that Adjusted income from continuing operations, which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, interest outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net and early debt extinguishment, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings 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. LP believes 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 LP 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 its business.
