Notes To Financial Statements
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries
1. The interim period information included herein reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of the management of L-P, necessary for
a fair statement of the results of the respective interim periods. Results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for an entire year. It is suggested that these summary financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in L-P's 1993 Annual Financial Report to Stockholders.
Interim financial statements are by necessity somewhat tentative; judgments
are used to estimate quarterly amounts for items that are normally
determinable only on an annual basis.
2. Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the periods (110,200,000 in 1994 and
109,670,000 in 1993). The effect of common stock equivalents is not material.
The number of shares and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for
stock splits.
3. The effective income tax rate is based on estimates of annual
amounts of taxable income, foreign sales corporation income and other factors.
These estimates are updated quarterly.
4. Determination of interim LIFO inventories requires estimates of
year-end inventory quantities and costs. These estimates are revised
quarterly and the estimated annual change in the LIFO inventory reserve is
expensed over the remainder of the year.
5. The cumulative effects of accounting changes relate to the
adoption of two Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements during the
first quarter of 1993. Adoption of Statement No. 106 "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" resulted in a charge of $3.2
million or three cents per share, net of $1.9 million in income taxes.
Adoption of Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" resulted in a
charge of $7.2 million or six cents per share.
Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $698.0 million compared with
$649.2 million in the first quarter of 1993. The registrant operates in two
segments: building products and pulp, with building products being the most
dominant segment by far. Building products sales in the first quarter of 1994
were $664.9 million versus $621.1 million in the first quarter of 1993.
The increase in building products sales during the first quarter of
1994 is a result of improved lumber sales due to higher sales realizations,
but lower volumes. Structural panel sales also improved with higher volumes,
but lower sales realizations. Industrial panel and engineered wood products
showed strong volume and sales realization improvements.
As a result of these changes in sales volumes and realizations and
increased costs, primarily log costs, building products operating profits were
$166.5 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $176.3 million in the
first quarter of 1993. In April 1994, sales of building products began to
slow as a result of uncertainty about the effects of rising interest rates on
demand for housing and construction.
Sales for the pulp segment in the first quarter of 1994 were $33.1
million compared with $28.1 million in the first quarter of 1993. The
increase was due primarily to better volumes and prices at the registrant's
Chetwynd, B.C., Canada pulp mill. Pulp sales prices have fallen substantially
due to weak demand and oversupply world-wide. As a result, the registrant has
elected to take downtime at its pulp mills and will likely do so from time to
time in the future until the market improves. During the first quarter of
1994, paper pulp prices improved slightly. As a result, operating losses from
the pulp segment have improved to $10.0 million in the first quarter of 1994
compared to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 1993.
Key segment information, production volumes, and industry product
price trends are presented in the following tables labeled "Sales and
Operating Profit by Major Group," "Operating Volume," and "Industry Product
Price Trends."
Income before cumulative effects of accounting changes for the first
quarter of 1994 was $85.2 million, or $.77 per share, compared with $87.7
million, or $.80 per share, in the first quarter of 1993. During the first
quarter of 1993, the registrant adopted two new accounting standards, which
resulted in a net charge of $10.4 million or $.09 per share.
Interest expense was $2.6 million in the first quarter of 1994
compared with $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1993 reflecting lower debt
and lower interest rates.
The strong earnings produced $113.4 million in cash from operating
activities in the first quarter of 1994. However, increases in receivables
and inventories caused a decrease compared with $171.5 million in the first
quarter of 1993. In the first quarter of 1994, cash uses included plant and
timber additions of $70.7 million, $51.4 million in loan repayments, $12.1
million in cash dividends, and $7.5 million in treasury stock purchases, which
resulted in an $18.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and
cash equivalents were $243.1 million at March 31, 1994 compared with $273.9
million at March 31, 1993.
On May 3, 1994, the board of directors authorized an increase in the
cash dividend paid on the registrant's common stock to an annualized rate of
50 cents per share from the previous rate of 44 cents per share. The timing
and amount of future dividends will be determined at the discretion of the
board of directors in light of prevailing conditions.
The registrant continues to show very strong financial condition.
Long-term debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 12.7 percent at
March 31, 1994 compared with 15.5 percent at December 31, 1993.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The following sets forth the current status of certain legal
proceedings, all of which have been previously reported.
The registrant has received a Notice of Violation issued by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency alleging air emissions violations at the
registrant's Dungannon, Virginia, OSB plant. The registrant has also received
a Notice of Violation issued by the state of Michigan alleging air emissions
violations at the registrant's Newberry, Michigan, OSB plant. The potential
costs to the registrant cannot be determined at this time, but are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the registrant.
The registrant has been informed that it and one or more employees at
its Olathe, Colorado, oriented strand board plant are the targets of a federal
grand jury investigation concerning alleged tampering with emissions
monitoring equipment and alteration of plant records. The registrant does not
know when the investigation will be completed. The registrant began an
internal investigation in the summer of 1992 and reported its initial findings
of irregularities to governmental authorities in September, 1992.
On September 9, 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit in
the U.S. District Court in Anchorage, Alaska, against the registrant's wholly-
owned subsidiary Ketchikan Pulp Company ("KPC") alleging that the pulp mill in
Ketchikan, Alaska, operated by KPC violated the Clean Air Act and the terms of
KPC's wastewater discharge permit. The plaintiff seeks to require KPC to
correct the alleged violations and also seeks penalties in an unspecified
amount. Settlement discussions are currently underway.
The registrant has been informed that KPC and one or more employees
at KPC's pulp mill are the targets of a federal grand jury investigation
concerning wastewater discharges. No charges have been made and the
registrant does not know when the investigation will be completed.
The registrant understands that a federal grand jury is investigating
possible violations in connection with the disposal by a contractor of a
transformer containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) previously located at
the registrant's former sawmill at Pendleton, Oregon. The registrant does not
know whether it or any of its employees are targets of the investigation.
On October 19, 1992, the State of Wisconsin filed a suit against the
registrant in state court in Dane County Circuit Court alleging that the
registrant's oriented strand board plant at Hayward, Wisconsin, is in
violation of state and federal clean air laws. The plaintiff seeks to require
the registrant to correct the alleged violations and also seeks penalties in
an unspecified amount. A tentative settlement of $550,000 was reached in 1993
but has not been consummated due to continuing differences between the
parties.
Management of the registrant believes that the outcome of the above
matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated business
or financial condition or results of operations of the registrant.
