Nature of Operations and Basis for Presentation | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION Nature of Operations Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and our subsidiaries are a leading provider of high-performance building solutions that meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. Serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets, we have leveraged our expertise to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, reliability, and sustainability. The principal customers for our building solutions are retailers, wholesalers, and home building and industrial businesses in North America and South America, with limited sales to Asia, Australia, and Europe. The Company operates 23 plants across the U.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil through foreign subsidiaries, an d operates additional facilities through a joint venture. References to "LP," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold our 50% equity interest in t wo joint ventures that produce I-joists, and we sold the remaining assets related to the Engineered Wood Product (EWP) segment. Accordingly, the results of our previously owned EWP segment have been presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. See "Note 7 –Discontinued Operations" for additional information. In May 2023, we acquired a manufacturing facility in Wawa, Ontario, Canada from Wawa OSB, Inc. a subsidiary of Forex Inc., for $80 million, financed by a combination of cash on hand and availability under the Amended Credit Facility (defined below). The manufacturing facility is expected to be converted into an LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding mill. We are evaluating project schedules and market demand to determine when construction will begin. The facility will remain shut down until such construction is completed. Basis for Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023 (2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
