NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS FOR PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of us and our subsidiaries for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts are shown in millions except per share.
NOTE 2 - LEASES
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASC 842), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC Topic 840, "Leases". The new standard requires entities to recognize, separately from each other, an asset for its right to use (ROU) the underlying asset equal to the liability for its finance and operating lease obligations. Further, the company is required to present separately the current and non-current portion of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements", which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. We have elected to adopt using this optional transition method.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Our lease portfolio consists primarily of real estate, mobile equipment at our manufacturing facilities, railcars to transport our products, and a fleet of vehicles.
As part of our adoption of ASC 842, we have also elected to apply the following practical expedients as permitted under the new standard:

• | Package of practical expedients - we will not reassess whether expiring or existing contracts contain a lease, will not reassess the classification of expired or existing leases, and will not reassess whether lease initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard.

• | Lease and non-lease components as lessee - for leases across all asset classes in which we are a lessee, we will not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead will account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

• | Short-term leases - we have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases across all asset classes that have a lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with our short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Key estimates and judgments include how we determined the discount rate used to record the unpaid lease payments at present value and lease term.

• | ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract (purchase orders) with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Shipping cost incurred by us to deliver products to our customers are recorded in cost of sales. We recognize revenue as of a point in time.

NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
13

We have a Management Incentive Plan (MIP) that is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee authorizes the grants of restricted stock awards (shares or units), performance share awards payable in stock based upon the attainment of specified performance goals and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SSARs).We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of LP common stock at a discount. As of September 30, 2019, 2.9 million shares were available for grant under the 2013 Omnibus Plan and 1.9 million shares were available under the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

At September 30, 2019, $15 million of compensation cost related to unvested performance awards, restricted stock awards and SSARs attributable to future service had not yet been recognized.
During the first nine months of 2019, we granted 195,452 performance awards at an average grant date fair value of $25.19 per share and 393,054 restricted stock awards at an average grant date fair value of $24.21 per share.
NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We estimated our Senior Notes due in 2024 to have a fair value of $357 million at September 30, 2019 and $338 million at December 31, 2018 based upon market quotations.
Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and current portion of long-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.
NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method. Our potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options, SSARs, restricted stock or units and performance share awards.

NOTE 7 - SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized an additional $600 million share repurchase program, including an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. In connection with the ASR program, we entered into an agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (GS) to repurchase $400 million of our common stock. Under the ASR, we received approximately 11.9 million shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2019, GS delivered the final settlement of the ASR resulting in an additional 4.4 million shares.
NOTE 8 – RECEIVABLES

Other receivables at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 primarily consist of sales tax receivables, vendor rebates, a receivable associated with an affiliate and other miscellaneous receivables.
NOTE 9 – INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost includes materials, labor and operating overhead. The major types of inventories are as follows (work in process is not material):

| September 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Logs | $ | 41 |  |  | $ | 57 |

Total | $ | 260 |  |  | $ | 273 |

NOTE 10 - ACQUISITIONS AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
Redeemable noncontrolling interest are interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of our control either for cash or other assets. These interests are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the noncontrolling interest adjusted for cumulative earnings allocations. The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount of redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest are affected by corresponding charges through income. Any adjustments recognized on redeemable common noncontrolling interest are affected by corresponding charges to accumulated paid in capital.

Entekra
During the second quarter of 2018, we invested $45 million in Entekra Holdings, LLC (Entekra), a start-up design, engineering and manufacturing company that provides off-site framing for both residential and commercial construction. This investment was recorded as an equity investment based upon the joint control of Entekra’s operations. We own 81.8% of the A units and 55% of the B units of Entekra. Our portion of the earnings and losses of Entekra was included in our Consolidated Statement of Income as income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliate.
During the first quarter of 2019, we obtained a controlling interest in Entekra. Entekra's results of operations have been fully consolidated for periods after December 31, 2018 and we established a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the minority holders. Due to the pre-existing ownership interest in Entekra, this acquisition was accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations". We recognized a gain of $14 million recorded within other non-operating items on our Consolidated Statements of Income in connection with this transaction to record our ownership interest in Entekra at fair value on the acquisition date based upon an appraisal.
Including our previously owned interest, we acquired net assets of $56 million, consisting of $41 million in current assets, $6 million in fixed assets, $25 million of goodwill and other intangible assets less $1 million in current liabilities and $15 million in non-controlling interest. Certain information about Entekra (e.g., pro forma financial information and allocation of purchase price) is not presented because such information is not material to our results of operations and financial position.

Prefinished Staining Product Incorporated (PSPI)
During the second quarter of 2019, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of Prefinished Staining Product Incorporated (PSPI), a prefinished siding company located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The purchase resulted in us recording intangible assets of $4 million. Our assessment of fair value and the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition is final. Certain information about PSPI (e.g., pro forma financial information and allocation of purchase price) is not presented because such information is not material to our results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
For interim periods, accounting standards require that income tax expense be determined by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results, unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted to the current quarter. Changes in profitability estimates in various jurisdictions will impact our quarterly effective income tax rates.
For the first nine months of 2019, our income tax expense on continuing operations reflects a rate of 24% as compared to 24% in the comparable period of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, the primary differences between the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate of 24% relates to state income tax, foreign tax rates and benefit from U.S. tax credits. For the first nine months of 2018, the primary differences between the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate of 24% relates to state income tax, discretionary pension payments, foreign tax rates and tax deductions related to stock-based compensation.

During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a gain of $8 million related to the reduction in product-related warranty reserves associated with CanExel products sold in specific geographic locations and for a specific time period based upon reductions in claims activities. Additionally, we recorded $1 million in severance and other charges related to certain reorganizations and a loss of $1 million related to property damage sustained by our Wilmington facility during a hurricane occurring in the fall of 2018.
During the second quarter of 2018, we recorded a gain of $8 million related to the settlement of previously-paid environmental costs or the liability for future environmental costs to be paid by a third party associated with a non-operating site. Additionally, we recorded a charge of $4 million in severance and other charges related to certain reorganizations within the corporate offices, including the costs associated with the retirement of our previous chief financial officer.
NOTE 14 – LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Certain environmental matters and legal proceedings are discussed below.
Environmental Matters
We maintain a reserve for undiscounted estimated environmental loss contingencies. This reserve is primarily for estimated future costs of remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at numerous sites currently or previously owned by the Company. Our estimates of our environmental loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments, the specific nature of which varies in light of the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each environmental loss contingency. These estimates typically reflect assumptions and judgments as to the probable nature, magnitude and timing of required investigation, remediation and/or monitoring activities and the probable cost of these activities, and in some cases reflect assumptions and judgments as to the obligation or willingness and ability of third parties to bear a proportionate or allocated share of the cost of these activities. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in governmental regulation and environmental technologies, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to environmental loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates significantly. However, no estimate of the range of any such change can be made at this time.
Recorded in Other assets is $1 million related to a receivable for reimbursements of environmental costs associated with a non-operating site as of September 30, 2019.
Other Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings. Based on the information currently available, management believes the resolution of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

NOTE 15 – SELECTED SEGMENT DATA
We operate in four segments: Siding, North America Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Engineered Wood Products (EWP) and South America. Our business units have been aggregated into these four segments based upon the similarity of economic characteristics, customers and distribution methods. Our results of operations attributed to LP are summarized below for each of these segments separately as well as for the “other” category which comprises other products that are not individually significant. Segment information was prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, certain timber operations where reclassified from other to EWP and we have reclassified a significant portion of our unallocated expenses to the business segments effective during the first quarter of 2019. All prior periods presented have been adjusted for comparability.

NOTE 16 – POTENTIAL IMPAIRMENTS
We continue to review asset groupings and investments for potential impairments. Management currently believes we have adequate support for the carrying value of each of these assets based upon the anticipated cash flows that result from our estimates of future demand, pricing and production costs assuming certain levels of planned capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2019, there were no indications of impairment for the asset grouping that included our indefinitely curtailed facilities and supports the conclusion that no impairment is necessary for those facilities.
We also review from time to time possible dispositions of various assets in light of current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the net sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.
NOTE 17 – PRODUCT WARRANTY
We provide warranties on the sale of most of our products and record an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. The activity in warranty reserves for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized in the following table:

| Quarter Ended |  | Nine Months Ended

Long-term portion of warranty reserves | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 10 |  |  | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 10 |

We continue to monitor warranty and other claims associated with these products and believe as of September 30, 2019 that the reserves associated with these matters are adequate. However, it is possible that additional changes may be required in the future.
The current portion of the warranty reserve is included in the caption “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and the long-term portion is included in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 18 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
LP has adopted and implemented plans to sell selected businesses and assets in order to improve its operating results. For all periods presented, these operations include residual losses of mills divested in past years and associated warranty and other liabilities associated with these operations.
Included in the operating losses of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was an increase in warranty reserves associated with our discontinued composite decking products of $5 million.

Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL
We are a leading provider of high-performing building solutions. We design, manufacture and market a broad range of products for the new home construction, repair and remodeling and outdoor structures markets. We also market and sell our products in light industrial and commercial construction and we have a modest export business. Our manufacturing facilities are primarily located in the U.S. and Canada, and we also operate two facilities in Chile and one facility in Brazil.
To serve these markets, we operate in four segments: Siding; North America Oriented Strand Board (OSB); Engineered Wood Products (EWP); and South America.
Demand for our products correlates to a significant degree to the level of new home construction activity in North America, which historically has been characterized by significant cyclicality. The U.S. Department of Census reported that U.S. single housing starts were 5% higher for the third quarter of 2019 and 2% lower for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same periods of 2018.
OSB is sold as a commodity for which sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control. We cannot predict whether the prices of our OSB products will remain at current levels or increase or decrease in the future. OSB prices (NC 7/16"), as reported by Random Lengths, were 41% lower for the third quarter and 47% lower for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018.
For additional factors affecting our results, refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations overview contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and to “About Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We recorded a 18% decrease in sales to $603 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 from $737 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. We recorded income from operations of $8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to $168 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. We recorded net income attributed to LP of $2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to $124 million ($0.86 per diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. We reported a decrease of $144 million in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018. Declines in OSB pricing in all North American operations had a negative impact on our operating results of $119 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
We recorded a 21% decrease in sales to $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.2 billion reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We recorded income from operations of $53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $510 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We recorded net income attributed to LP of $46 million ($0.36 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $378 million ($2.59 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We reported a decrease of $435 million in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the first nine months of 2018. Declines in OSB pricing in all North American operations had a negative impact on our operating results of $278 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
24

Presented in Note 1 of the Notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 is a discussion of our significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and judgments. Throughout the preparation of the financial statements, we employ significant judgments in the application of accounting principles and methods. These judgments are primarily related to the assumptions used to arrive at various estimates. For 2019, these significant accounting estimates and judgments include:
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets (including amortizable identifiable intangible assets) or asset group held for use is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated based on fair value. Fair value is estimated primarily using discounted expected future cash flows on a market-participant basis.
Defined Benefit Plans
We have a number of pension plans in the U.S. and Canada, covering many of the our employees. Benefit accruals under our defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. were frozen as of January 1, 2010.
We account for the consequences of our sponsorship of these plans based upon assumptions that are used to calculate the related assets, liabilities and expenses recorded in our financial statements. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the assumptions used to value defined benefit plans or when assumptions change as they may each year. The primary factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses are changes in the discount rate used to value obligations as of the measurement date and the differences between expected and actual returns on pension plan assets. This accounting method results in the potential for volatile and difficult to forecast gains and losses.
We record amounts relating to these defined benefit plans based on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and life expectancy. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans are reasonable based on our experience and on advice from our independent actuaries; however, differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions may materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
A 50 basis point change in our discount rate assumption would lead to an increase or decrease in our pension liability of approximately $15 million. A 50 basis point change in the long-term rate of return on plan assets used in accounting for our pension plans would have a $1 million impact on pension expense. It is not possible to forecast or predict whether there will be actuarial gains and losses in future periods, and if required, the magnitude of any such adjustment. These gains and losses are driven by differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions that are beyond our control, such as changes in interest rates and the actual return on pension plan assets.
Income Taxes
We establish deferred tax liabilities or assets for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting bases and subsequently adjust them to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance reducing deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where we evaluate whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit (expense) is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, we perform the second step of measuring the benefit (expense) to be recorded. The actual benefit (expense) ultimately realized
25

may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet in the period in which such changes occur. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (including interest) pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $38 million and $41 million.
Customer Program Costs
Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in our businesses. Our businesses incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Customer program costs and incentives, including rebates and promotion and volume allowances, are accounted for in either sales or the category selling, general and administrative expenses at the time the program is initiated and/or the revenue is recognized. The costs are predominantly recognized in sales and include, but are not limited to, volume allowances and rebates, promotional allowances, and cooperative advertising programs. These costs are recorded at the later of the time of sale or the implementation of the program based on management’s best estimates. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer. Volume allowances are accrued based on management’s estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new products, store sell-through, merchandising support and customer training. Management periodically reviews accruals for these rebates and allowances, and adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations). As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $32 million and $30 million accrued as customer rebates.
Inventory valuation
We record inventories at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Inventory cost includes an overhead component that can be affected by levels of production and actual costs incurred. We evaluate the need to record adjustments for impairment of inventory at least quarterly. If in our judgment persuasive evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the inventory value is written-down to its estimated net realizable value. Significant judgments regarding future events and market conditions must be made when estimating net realizable value.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating our business, we utilize several non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so excluded or included under applicable GAAP guidance. In this report on Form 10-Q, we disclose segment earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exclude stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sales or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, investment income and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We also disclose Adjusted income from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, gain on acquisition, interest outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Adjusted income from continuing operations is a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or for any other GAAP measures of operating performance.
We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we use it as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures. It should be noted that companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA measures may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA measures have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization which are necessary to operate our business or which we otherwise incur or experience in connection with the operation of our business.
26

We believe that Adjusted income from continuing operations, which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, interest outside of normal operations, and other operating credits and charges, net, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing this measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted income from continuing operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our business.

Percent changes in average gross sales prices and unit shipments for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are as follows:

| Quarter Ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018
| Average Selling Price |  | Unit Shipments |  | Average Net Selling Price |  | Unit Shipments
SmartSide® strand siding | 1 | % |  | 14 | % |  | 3 | % |  | 7 | %
SmartSide® fiber siding | 3 | % |  | (10 | )% |  | 4 | % |  | (9 | )%

OSB | (22 | )% |  | (88 | )% |  | (47 | )% |  | (70 | )%

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, sales volumes were higher in our SmartSide strand product line due to increased market penetration in key markets and introduction of new products. Sales prices in our SmartSide strand product line for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 were higher due to price increases which were implemented in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, sales volumes declined in our SmartSide fiber product line due to our decision to raise prices which slowed demand. Sales prices in our SmartSide fiber product line for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 were higher due to a price increase implemented in 2018.
For CanExel, sales volumes increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to increased demand in Canada as customers re-balance their inventories. Sales prices changed for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to changes in our product mix and the fluctuations in the U.S. to Canadian dollar as a majority of these sales are denominated in Canadian dollars.
For our OSB produced in the siding segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018, sales prices changed as discussed in the OSB segment below. Sales volumes were lower for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to the conversion of our Dawson Creek OSB mill to siding which occurred during the later portion of 2018 and our decision to reduce all OSB production in our siding mills due to the continued lower OSB demand and pricing.
Overall, the decline in the siding segment for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 was due to expenses associated with the Dawson Creek conversion project ($3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019), lower OSB sales prices and volume and increases in sales and marketing expenses which were partially offset by higher pricing on our SmartSide strand products.
OSB
Our OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products in North America and certain export markets.
Segment sales, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows:

Percent changes in average gross sales prices and unit shipments for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are as follows:

| Quarter Ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018
| Average Selling Price |  | Unit Shipments |  | Average Net Selling Price |  | Unit Shipments
OSB - commodity | (41 | )% |  | (14 | )% |  | (42 | )% |  | (13 | )%
OSB - value-add | (33 | )% |  | (4 | )% |  | (33 | )% |  | 1 | %

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, OSB prices and volumes decreased compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 likely due to the overall demand compared to the supply available in the market. Our percentage of value-add OSB versus commodity OSB increased in both the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as we continued to transform our OSB business model. The decrease in selling price negatively impacted operating results and Adjusted EBITDA by $119 million for the quarter and by $275 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018.
Overall the decline in our OSB segment results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was due to decreased sales prices and volume, offset by improved operating efficiencies.
EWP

Plywood | (20 | )% |  | 7 | % |  | (20 | )% |  | 1 | %

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018, sales volumes decreased in LSL due to market weakness with increases in LVL and I-joists. For the quarter end September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, average selling prices declined due to increased pricing pressure. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, average sales prices increased due to price increases implemented across all product lines, except plywood and OSB. The decrease in selling prices for OSB and plywood negatively impacted operating results and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by $0 million for OSB and $2 million for plywood for the quarter and by $2 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, results of operations declined due to reduced sales and higher manufacturing costs due to lower volumes and lower OSB and plywood pricing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, results of operations are about flat between periods with the higher sales prices offset the higher manufacturing costs associated with the lower volumes.

OSB sales volumes increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to increased demand across South America due to improved economic conditions. Sales prices for OSB decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018 due to increased imports at a lower price, which created downward pricing pressure and the impact of the change of foreign currency rates on local sales prices.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, results of operations are lower due to reduced sales prices and increased operating costs associated with start up of the third mill in Chile.
OTHER PRODUCTS

INCOME TAXES
For the first nine months of 2019, our income tax expense on continuing operations reflects a rate of 24% as compared to 24% in the comparable period of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, the primary differences between the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate of 24% r el ates to state income tax, foreign tax rates and benefit from U.S. tax credits. For the first nine months of 2018, the primary differences between the U.S.
32

statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate of 24% relates to state income tax, discretionary pension payments, foreign tax rates and tax deductions related to stock-based compensation.
Each quarter the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is recorded in the current quarter.
LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
For a discussion of legal and environmental matters involving us and the potential impact thereof on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, see Items 3, 7 and 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Note 14 to the Notes to the financial statements contained herein.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OVERVIEW
Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and investment balances, cash generated by our operations and our ability to borrow under such credit facilities as we may have in effect from time to time. We may also from time to time issue and sell equity, debt or hybrid securities or engage in other capital market transactions.
Our principal uses of liquidity are paying the costs and expenses associated with our operations, servicing outstanding indebtedness, dividends and making capital expenditures. We may also from time to time prepay or repurchase outstanding indebtedness or shares or acquire assets or businesses that are complementary to our operations. Any such repurchases may be commenced, suspended, discontinued or resumed, and the method or methods of effecting any such repurchases may be changed at any time or from time to time without prior notice.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
During the first nine months of 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $58 million compared to $419 million during the first nine months of 2018. This change was primarily related to declines in operating results (lower OSB pricing) offset by increases in working capital changes.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During the first nine months of 2019, cash used in investing activities was approximately $90 million. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2019 were $118 million and cash acquired in connection with the consolidation of Entekra was $33 million, net of other acquisitions. Included in “Accounts payable” is $10 million related to capital expenditures that had not yet been paid as of September 30, 2019.
During the first nine months of 2018, cash used in investing activities was approximately $173 million. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2018 were $150 million. Included in “Accounts payable” was $17 million related to capital expenditures that had not yet been paid as of September 30, 2018.
Capital expenditures in 2019 are expected to be less than $160 million related to expansions in our siding business, growth and maintenance projects and our South American expansion.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During the first nine months of 2019, cash used in financing activities was $541 million. We used $3 million to pay long-term debt, $50 million to pay cash dividends, $480 million to repurchase stock though our share repurchase program and $5 million to repurchase stock from employees in connection with income tax withholding requirements associated with our employee stock-based compensation plans.
During the first nine months of 2018, cash used in financing activities was $183 million. We used $56 million to pay cash dividends, $99 million to repurchase stock through our share repurchase program and $9 million to repurchase stock from employees in connection with income tax withholding requirements associated with our employee stock-based compensation plans. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2018, we received a grant from the Investments in Forest Industry Transformation program in Canada for $3 million in connection with our conversion of the Dawson Creek OSB mill.
33

POTENTIAL IMPAIRMENTS
We continue to review asset groupings and investments for potential impairments. Management currently believes we have adequate support for the carrying value of each of these assets based upon the anticipated cash flows that result from our estimates of future demand, pricing and production costs assuming certain levels of planned capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2019, there were no indications of impairment for the asset grouping that included our indefinitely curtailed facilities and supports the conclusion that no impairment is necessary for those facilities.
We also review from time to time possible dispositions of various assets in light of current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the net sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.
34

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and the Chilean peso. Although we have in the past entered into foreign exchange contracts associated with certain of our indebtedness and may continue to enter into foreign exchange contracts associated with major equipment purchases to manage a portion of the foreign currency rate risk, we historically have not entered into material currency rate hedges with respect to our exposure from operations, although we may do so in the future.
Some of our products are sold as commodities and therefore sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control. The most significant commodity product we sell is OSB. Based upon an assumed annual production capacity of 4.9 billion square feet (3/8" basis) or 4.2 billion square feet (7/16" basis), a $1 change in the annual average price per thousand square feet on 7/16" basis would change annual pre-tax profits by approximately $4 million.
We historically have not entered into material commodity futures and swaps, although we may do so in the future.
35

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have carried out, with the participation of the Company's Disclosure Practices Committee and the Company's management, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that LP’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We had no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
