Comments

In announcing first quarter results, Kenneth M. Jastrow, II, chairman and chief executive officer of Temple-Inland Inc. said, “First quarter 2006 was a record first quarter for Temple-Inland. Our results reflect continued benefit from strategic initiatives and improved market conditions. During first quarter 2006 we repurchased 1.5 million shares. We have 2.0 million shares remaining under our current share repurchase authorization.

“Corrugated packaging benefited from business improvements related to lower mill and converting costs. Despite higher energy and freight costs, our mills and converting facilities operated at lower unit costs in first quarter 2006 compared with first quarter 2005.

“Results in our forest products operation reflect the acquisition of our partner’s interest in the Standard Gypsum joint venture during the quarter and strength in commercial and residential construction as well as repair and remodeling markets. Our forest products operations benefit from low cost and strategic locations near some of the fastest growing housing markets. Additionally, we continue to benefit from our focus on fiber integration.
