than the year ago quarter. Total sales for the year were $1.9 billion,
7 percent lower than the previous year.

“The fourth quarter was a tough quarter for LP as OSB prices drifted
downward, log outages affected our siding production and EWP sales
slowed as dealers aggressively managed their inventories at year-end,”
said Curt Stevens, CEO. “But, there are some positive signs that housing
activity will improve including: increase in consumer confidence (lower
energy prices); actions by the government to lower the cost and increase
the availability of mortgages; lower mortgage rates; and a better
outlook for jobs.”

million, down from $480 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the

increase in each of the next two years,” continued Stevens. “And, there
was a strong finish to the year with each month in the last quarter at
an annual rate of more than 1 million starts, plus single family starts
