Norbord Inc. reported Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $27 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $42 million in the first quarter of 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by higher realized North American oriented strand board (OSB) prices and shipments while the year-over-year increase was driven by higher realized North American OSB prices and lower raw material and energy prices, partially offset by lower shipments.<\/p>\n

North American operations generated Adjusted EBITDA of $68 million compared to $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $23 million in the first quarter of 2019, and European operations delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $10 million compared to $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $21 million in the first quarter of 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first quarter of this year was off to a strong start, as the improved housing activity in late 2019 carried into 2020. In fact, our Adjusted EBITDA almost doubled from year-ago levels and was our best result in six quarters,\u201d said Peter Wijnbergen, Norbord\u2019s President & CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quarter would have been even better but for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began to impact demand from a number of our customers towards the end of March. In spite of the immediate challenges presented by COVID-19, I am pleased with our company\u2019s ability to respond appropriately and adapt quickly. Our employees have demonstrated resilience in the face of uncertainty and changing workplace conditions, as well as flexibility to continue meeting the needs of our customers. No one knows how this pandemic will ultimately unfold, but the team at Norbord has been working diligently to build contingency plans and has taken decisive actions to retain operating flexibility, preserve jobs for as many employees as practicable, and ensure we are prepared for a return to growth when market conditions improve. Most importantly, we are doing all this while keeping the health and safety of our employees front and centre as our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norbord recorded Adjusted earnings of $21 million or $0.26 per share (basic and diluted) versus an Adjusted loss of $11 million or $0.13 per share (basic and diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2019 and an Adjusted loss of $2 million or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted) in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted earnings (loss) exclude non-recurring or other items and use a normalized income tax rate.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
