West Fraser Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results and Indefinite Curtailments in its OSB and Lumber Portfolios
West Fraser reported a Q3-26 loss of $(80) million, or $(1.03) per diluted share, on sales of $1.363 billion, with Adjusted EBITDA shrinking to $38 million from $59 million in Q2.
The company announced indefinite curtailments of its Huguley OSB mill in Lanett, Alabama and its Leola, Arkansas lumber mill, citing continued weakness in housing-driven wood products demand, and expects a $200-220 million asset impairment in Q4 2026.
Guidance was cut to the low end of prior ranges for SPF/SYP and North American OSB shipments, and management flagged rising diesel, resin and input cost pressure plus 50% Section 338 tariffs on certain Canadian products effective August 2026.
Balance-sheet actions were defensive but constructive: a new $500M term loan due September 2029 refinanced a $300M facility, liquidity stands at $1.2B with an undrawn revolver, and a $0.32/share dividend was declared.
