West Fraser management commentary cites lower SYP, OSB prices driving Q3 2026 earnings decline from prior quarter
  • West Fraser management commentary attributed weaker third-quarter 2026 earnings to lower Southern yellow pine lumber and OSB prices, alongside higher costs.
  • Net loss widened to USD 80 million from USD 61 million in the previous quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA fell to USD 38 million from USD 59 million, partly cushioned by higher spruce/pine/balsam fir pricing and inventory reserve releases.
  • North American engineered wood products posted an adjusted EBITDA loss of USD 4 million, versus a USD 13 million profit.
  • Year-over-year earnings improved primarily on higher lumber pricing and lower export duty expense.
