1 Forward-Looking Statements / Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward-Looking Statements During the course of this presentation, we may make forward-looking statements or provide forward- looking information. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” and “indicates.” Although they reflect our current expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance, but involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Some of the factors that may cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward- looking statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, general economic conditions, competitive pressures, the commodity nature of the Company’s products and their price movements, raw material costs and availability, and the ability to retain key employees. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the metrics of calculation. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and segment income (loss) to segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Appendix to this presentation.

4 Business Strategy • Increase low-cost veneer production capacity • Optimize veneer utilization between plywood and EWP Wood Products Manufacturing • Leverage footprint in place • Grow market share Building Materials Distribution • Access to downstream customers • Leverage relationship between manufacturing and distribution Advantage of “in- house” distribution • Expand core businesses • Consider complimentary adjacent businesses Acquisitions

5 Bulk of demand improvement will be from new residential construction New residential construction should return to long-term trend demand levels Housing Recovery Expected to Continue EWP and Distribution growth driven primarily by increases in new single-family construction • EWP currently operating near 70% of capacity •With existing warehouse and yard space, Distribution’s revenue capacity is $3.5-4.0 billion Expect plywood to perform well • Mills currently operating at high utilization rates • Demand driven by repair and remodel, industrial uses, as well as new residential and commercial construction

6 Continuing to demonstrate earnings leverage in 2014 Positioned for Further Growth Year-over-year housing starts up approximately 10%, but YTD- 2014 EBITDA up 50% over 2013 Continued improvement in financial performance expected as housing recovers • Growth in EWP demand • Higher EWP pricing resulting from higher capacity utilization • Plywood supply and demand fundamentals are expected to remain favorable • Cost leverage from increased sales in Distribution
