NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August which historically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. For comparative purposes, we have included the June 30, 2018 balances in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.

B.       FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Carrying amounts above are recorded in the investments and restricted investments line items within the balance sheet as of June 29, 2019.

C.       REVENUE RECOGNITION

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (Accounting Standard Codification 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company has adopted the requirements of the new standard as of January 1, 2018, and utilized the modified retrospective method of transition which was applied to all contracts.

The Company completed the new revenue recognition standard assessment and determined that there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements, aside from additional required disclosures, thus no needed adjustment to the opening retained earnings for the annual reporting period.

Within the three markets (retail, industrial, and construction) that the Company operates, there are a variety of written and oral contracts that are utilized to generate revenue from the sale of wood, wood composite and other products. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes

at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.

Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a 3 rd party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion, which is typically 2- 3 days after receipt. If it is determined to utilize a 3 rd party for installation, the party will act as an agent to the Company until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of the Company’s total sales.

The Company utilizes rebates, credits, discounts and/or cash-based incentives with certain customers which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The allocation of these costs are applied at the invoice level and recognized in conjunction with revenue. Additionally, the volume returns and refunds are estimated on a historical and expected basis which is a reduction of revenue recognized.

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using over time accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations, which is in accordance with ASC 606 as revenue is recognized when certain performance obligations are performed. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under  over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

E.       COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

We own and operate a number of facilities throughout the United States that chemically treat lumber products. In connection with the ownership and operation of these and other real properties, and the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may, under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, be potentially liable for removal and remediation costs, as well as other potential costs, damages, and expenses. Environmental reserves, calculated with no discount rate, have been established to cover remediation activities at wood preservation facilities in Stockertown, PA; Elizabeth City, NC; and Auburndale, FL. In addition, a reserve was established for our facility in Thornton, CA to remove certain lead containing materials which existed on the property at the time of purchase.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

On a consolidated basis, we have reserved approximately $2.0 million and $2.5 million on June 29, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively, representing the estimated costs to complete future remediation efforts. These amounts have not been reduced by an insurance receivable.

In addition, on June 29, 2019, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On June 29, 2019, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $48.3 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances, we are required to post payment and performance bonds to insure the project owner that the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims made against these bonds. As of June 29, 2019, we had approximately $14.8 million outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $10.0 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On June 29, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $37.4 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. As of June 29, 2019, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $27.6 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $9.8 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of Universal Forest Products, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2012 and 2018 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the second quarter of 2019 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

G.       SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company operates manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities throughout North America, but primarily in the United States. The Company manages the operations of its individual locations primarily through a geographic reporting structure under which each location is included in a region and regions are included in our North, South, West, and International divisions. The exceptions to this geographic reporting and management structure are (a) the Company’s Alternative Materials Division, which offers a portfolio of non-wood products and distributes those products nation-wide (b) the Company’s distribution unit (referred to as UFPD) which distributes a variety of products to the manufactured housing industry nation-wide and is accounted for as a reporting unit within the North segment, and (c) the idX division, which designs, produces, and installs customized in-store environments for customers world-wide.

With respect to the facilities in the north, south, and west segments, these facilities generally supply the three markets the Company serves nationally - Retail, Industrial, and Construction. Also, substantially all of our facilities support customers in the immediate geographical region surrounding the facility.

Our Alternative Materials, International and idX division have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes unallocated administrative costs and certain incentive compensation expense.

During the second quarter and the first six months of 2019, management retrospectively reallocated the related bonus expense from Corporate to their respective segment to better assess the reporting unit’s productivity.

H.       INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences.  Our effective tax rate was 24.0% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 22.9% for same period in 2018.  Our effective tax rate was 24.1% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 22.6% for the same period in 2018.  The increase was primarily due to recording certain discrete tax benefits in 2018 related to state income tax and stock-based compensation deduction, which lowered the effective tax rate last year. 

I.       LEASES

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases on the entity’s balance sheet for both finance and operating leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, an entity can elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and expense the lease over a straight-line basis for the term of the lease. ASU 2016-02 requires new disclosures that depict the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows pertaining to an entity’s leases. Companies are required to adopt the new standard for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The FASB decided to amend certain aspects of its new leasing standard in an attempt to provide a relief from implementation costs.  Specifically, entities may elect not to restate their comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to the new standard.  

Upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity.

We elected the package of practical expedients whereby we are not required to 1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, 2) reassess the lease classification of existing leases, and 3) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.  Additionally, we did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases.  We did elect to account for lease and related non-lease components as a single lease component.  We elected to not recognize leases with an original term of 12 months or less as they are not significant to our consolidated balance sheet and income statement.  We have assessed and updated our business processes, systems, and controls to ensure compliance with the new accounting and disclosure requirements in accordance with the new standard.

We lease certain real estate under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with typical original terms ranging from one to ten years. We are required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs under certain leases, which are variable in nature and not included in the right of use asset or lease liability. Certain leases carry renewal options of five to fifteen years. We believe that future leases will likely have similar terms.  We also lease motor vehicles, equipment, and an aircraft under operating lease agreements for periods of one to ten years.  We do not typically enter into leases with residual value guarantees.

We believe finance leases will have no significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet and income statement as of June 29, 2019.

As of June 29, 2019, we have no leases that have not yet commenced that would significantly impact the rights, obligations, and financial position of the Company.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

The rates implicit in our leases are primarily not readily available. To determine the discount rate used to present value the lease payments, the Company utilized the 5-year treasury note rate plus a blend of rate spreads associated with our revolver and 10-12-year senior notes.  We feel the determined rate is a reasonable collectively representation of our lease population.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed a sale and leaseback transaction related to one facility in Medley, Florida.  The sale price for the property was approximately $36 million and created a $7 million pre-tax gain, which was entirely recognized in 2018.  The Company leased back the facility for two years as it executes its long-term plan for Florida and the Southeast region, however, only a minor portion of the property sold was leased back.

As of June 29, 2019, the weighted average lease term for operating leases is 6.96 years.  Similarly, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases is 3.78%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Universal Forest Products, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and in Australia that supply wood, wood composite and other products to three robust markets: retail, industrial, and construction. The Company is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich. For more information about Universal Forest Products, Inc., or its affiliated operations, go to www.ufpi.com.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; and our ability to make successful business acquisitions. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of 2019.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the second quarter of 2019 were impacted by the following:

Our gross sales decreased by 4% compared to the second quarter of 2018, which was comprised of a 5% increase in unit sales, offset by a 9% decrease in selling prices primarily due to the commodity lumber market (see Historical Lumber Prices below). Organic growth contributed 4% of our unit sales increase, while acquisitions contributed 1%. We experienced favorable unit growth to each of the primary markets we serve.
Our operating profits increased over 22%, which compares favorably with our 5% increase in unit sales. The improvement in our profitability was primarily due to a favorable change in our product mix to sales of more value-added products and the impact of lower lumber costs on products we sell with fixed selling prices.
Our cash flow from operating activities improved by $107 million due, in part, to lower lumber prices which lowered our investment in working capital and opportunistic buying of inventory in the fourth quarter of 2018 which was sold in 2019.

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs were 43.4% and 52.8% of our sales in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products such as deck components and fencing sold to retail customers, as well as trusses, wall panels and other components sold to the construction market, and most industrial packaging products. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time or are based upon a specific quantity. In order to maintain margins and reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers for these sales commitments. Also, the time period and quantity limitations eventually allow us to re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers. We believe our sales of these products are at their highest relative level in our third and fourth quarter.
Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar “adder” to cover conversion costs and profits. These products primarily include treated lumber, remanufactured lumber, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers’ needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. We believe our sales of these products are at their highest relative level in our second quarter, primarily due to treated lumber sold to the retail market.

For each of the product pricing categories above, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

The greatest risk associated with changes in the  trend  of lumber prices is on the following products:

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprises approximately 16% of our total sales. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, trusses sold to the manufactured housing market, and other similar products, due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through vendor consignment inventory programs. ( Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. )
Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices by locking in costs.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits, but does impact our margins. Gross margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low. In order to more effectively evaluate our profitability in such periods, we believe it is useful to compare our change in units shipped with our changes in costs and profits.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed one business acquisition during the first six months of 2019 and seven during all of 2018. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions completed in the first six months of 2019 and all of 2018 were approximately $5 million and $140 million, respectively. These business combinations were not significant to our quarterly or year-to-date operating results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2019 or 2018 are not presented.

See Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note F, “Business Combinations” for additional information.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the components of our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a percentage of sales, adjusted to restate 2019 sales and cost of goods sold at prior year lumber prices.  The restated sales amounts were calculated by applying the decrease in lumber prices in 2019 to 2018 sales levels.  By eliminating the “pass-through” impact of higher or lower lumber prices on sales and cost of goods sold from year to year, we believe this provides an enhanced view of our change in profitability and costs as a percentage of sales.  The amount of the adjustment to 2019 sales was also applied to cost of goods sold so that gross profit remains unchanged.

Note: During 2019, certain customers were reclassified to a different market. Prior year information has been restated to reflect these changes.

(1) We reclassified idX from industrial to the construction market to better align idX's core business, design, manufacture, distribution and installation of customized interior fixtures for a variety of retail and commercial structures, with the commercial construction market. The reclassification was recorded retrospectively.

Gross sales in the second quarter of 2019 decreased 4% compared to the same period of 2018, due to a 5% increase in unit sales, offset by a 9% decrease in selling prices primarily due to the Lumber Market. Acquired operations contributed 1% to our unit sales growth, and our organic unit sales growth was 4%.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Gross sales in the first six months of 2019 decreased almost 2% compared to the same period of 2018, due to a 6% increase in unit sales, offset by an 8% decrease in selling prices primarily due to the Lumber Market. Acquired operations contributed 2% to our unit sales growth, and our organic unit sales growth was 4%.

Changes in our gross sales by market are discussed below.

Retail:

Gross sales to the retail market decreased over 4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, due to a 6% increase in unit sales, offset by a 10% decrease in selling prices. Within this market, sales to our big box customers increased over 2%, and sales to other independent retailers decreased almost 16%. Our organic unit growth was 6% primarily due to improved weather in the second quarter, an increase in new product sales, and market share gains we achieved in our Deckorators product category with one of our big box customers.

Gross sales to the retail market decreased 4% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, due to a 5% increase in unit sales, offset by a 9% decrease in selling prices. Within this market, sales to our big box customers increased over 2%, and sales to other independent retailers decreased over 13%. Our organic unit growth was 5% year to date primarily due to increased consumer demand, new products sales, and the market share gains mentioned above.

Industrial:

Gross sales to the industrial market increased almost 3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, resulting from an 7% increase in unit sales, offset by a 4% decrease in selling prices. Businesses we acquired since the second quarter of 2018 contributed 6% to our growth in unit sales. Our organic growth in unit sales of 1% was primarily due to an increase in sales of new products and increasing our share of business with existing customers. Our organic unit growth was slower than previous quarters as a result of adding fewer new customers and emphasizing profitability and margin requirements over units sales growth which resulted in eliminating less profitable business.

Gross sales to the industrial market increased almost 9% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, resulting from an 11% increase in unit sales, offset by a 2% decrease in selling prices. Businesses we acquired since the second quarter of 2018 contributed 7% to our growth in unit sales. Our organic growth in unit sales of 4% was primarily due our efforts to improve market share, which is continuing to produce positive results.

Construction:

Gross sales to the construction market decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018. The decrease was due to a 4% increase in unit sales, offset by a 14% decrease in our selling prices. Our increase in unit sales was driven by a 5% increase to commercial construction customers, a 5% increase to residential construction customers, and a 1% increase to manufactured housing customers.

By comparison (and based upon various industry publications):

Production of HUD-code manufactured homes in April and May 2019, the most recent period reported, was down 3.2% compared to the same period of 2018.
Non-residential construction activity in April and May decreased approximately 1.1% compared to the same period of 2018.
Housing starts decreased by approximately 5.7% in the period from March through May 2019 (our sales trail housing starts by about a  month) compared to the same period of 2018.

23

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Our ability to achieve growth in excess of the market is due to a variety of factors including operating in regions that have more favorable market conditions.

Gross sales to the construction market decreased almost 7% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 2018. The decrease was due to a 4% increase in unit sales, offset by an 11% decrease in our selling prices. Our increase in unit sales was driven by an 9% increase to commercial construction customers and a 6% increase to residential construction customers, offset by a 2% decrease to manufactured housing customers.

COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT

Our gross margin increased to 15.1% from 12.8% comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the same period of 2018 due to the lower level of lumber prices (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results”) and an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products.  Our $21 million, or 12.7%, increase in gross profit dollars compares favorably to our 5% increase in unit sales during the same period due to the factors above.  In addition, acquired operations contributed $3 million of gross profit in the second quarter of 2019.  Excluding acquisitions, our gross profits increased by $18 million, or 10.8%, over the same period last year primarily due to the following:

Our gross profit to the retail market increased by approximately $7 million.
Our gross profit on sales to the industrial market increased by approximately $5 million.
Our gross profit on sales to the construction market increased by approximately $5 million.

Our gross margin increased to 15.1% from 13.0% comparing the first six months of 2019 to the same period of 2018 due to the lower level of lumber prices (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results”), atypical buying opportunities when lumber prices were low in the fourth quarter of 2018, and an improvement in our sales mix of value-added products.  Our $44 million, or 15.0%, increase in gross profit dollars compares favorably to our 6% increase in unit sales during the same period due to the factors above.  In addition, acquired operations contributed $7 million of gross profit in the first six months of 2019.  Excluding acquisitions, our gross profits increased by $37 million, or 12.5%, over the same period last year primarily due to the following:

Our gross profit to the retail market increased by approximately $10 million.
Our gross profit on sales to the industrial market increased by approximately $15 million.
Our gross profit on sales to the construction market increased by approximately $13 million.

Due to several factors, including the variety of species we buy, the variety and number of products we sell, and pricing methodologies, estimating the impact of market-favorable lumber buying on our gross profits is difficult.  Nevertheless, we estimate this contributed approximately $6 million to $7 million in additional gross profits in the first quarter of 2019.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $8.1 million, or 7.7%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, while we reported a 5% increase in unit sales. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, totaled $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $14.5 million in 2018.  Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2018 contributed approximately $1.6 million to our year over year increase in SG&A.  The remaining increase was primarily due to an increase in wages and benefits costs associated with headcount and rate increases, sales incentives, and marketing costs.  

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $20.8 million, or 10.5%, in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, while we reported a 6% increase in unit sales. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with our overall profitability and return on investment, totaled $30.7 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $23.6 million in 2018.  Acquired operations since the second quarter of 2018 contributed approximately $4.1 million to our year over year increase in SG&A.  The remaining increase was primarily due to an

increase in wages and benefits costs associated with headcount and rate increases, sales incentives, medical costs, and marketing expenses.

INTEREST, NET

Interest expense was slightly higher in the second quarter and the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018. Our interest rate increased as a result of a long-term debt issuance that we completed in June 2018 and used the proceeds to pay down our revolving credit facility. The impact of a higher overall rate was offset by lower debt levels in 2019.

INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences.  Our effective tax rate was 24.0% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 22.9% for same period in 2018.  Our effective tax rate was 24.1% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 22.6% for the same period in 2018.  The increase was primarily due to recording certain discrete tax benefits in 2018 related to state income tax and stock-based compensation deduction, which lowered the effective tax rate last year.

Note: During 2019, certain customers were reclassified to a different market. Prior year information has been restated to reflect these changes.

Net sales attributable to the North reportable segment decreased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to the impact of a falling lumber market. The increase to the industrial market was primarily due to acquired operations, which contributed $5.0 million to sales, and an increase in units sold to existing customers.

Earnings from operations for the North reportable segment increased in the second quarter of 2019 by $8.3 million, or 47.5%, due to a $10.8 million increase in gross profits, offset by a $2.5 million increase in SG&A expenses compared to last year. Gross profits were higher due to increases of $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $4.8 million within the retail, industrial, and construction markets, respectively.

Net sales attributable to the North reportable segment decreased in the first six months of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to the lower lumber market. The increase in the industrial market was primarily due to acquired operations, $9.3 million, and the same factors previously discussed. The decrease in the retail and construction markets was due to the same factors previously discussed.

Earnings from operations for the North reportable segment increased in the first six months of 2019 by $15.5 million, or 62.6%, due to a $20.8 million increase in gross profits, offset by a $5.3 million increase in SG&A expenses compared to last year. Gross profits were higher due to increases of $5.6 million, $6.9 million, and $9.0 million within the retail, industrial, and construction markets, respectively. Opportunistic buying in the fourth quarter of 2018 also contributed to higher gross profits in the first three months of 2019.

Net sales attributable to the South reportable segment decreased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to the impact of a lower lumber market. Acquired operations contributed $15.3 million to our growth in industrial sales and sales to our manufactured housing customers in the Southeast and East Central regions decreased in certain commodity product categories.

Earnings from operations for the South reportable segment increased in the second quarter of 2019 by $1.7 million, or 13.5%, due to a $4.0 million increase in gross profits, offset by a $2.3 million increase in SG&A expenses compared to last year. Gross profits were higher due to increases of $3.2 million and $1.0 million within the industrial and construction markets, respectively. Acquired acquisitions contributed $0.9 million to our earnings from operations during the second quarter of 2019.

Net sales attributable to the South reportable segment decreased in the first six months of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to a lower lumber market. Acquired operations contributed $39.0 million to our growth in sales to the industrial market.

Note: During 2019, certain customers were reclassified to a different market. Prior year information has been restated to reflect these changes.

(1) We reclassified idX from industrial to the construction market to better align idX's core business, design, manufacture, distribution and installation of customized interior fixtures for a variety of retail and commercial structures, with the commercial construction market. The reclassification was recorded retrospectively.

Our All Other reportable segment consists of our Alternative Materials, International, idX, and certain other segments which are not significant.

Net sales attributable to All Other reportable segments increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to our sales to the retail market by our Alternative Materials segment, which won new sales of our Deckorators branded products with one of our big box customers. Our sales to the construction market increased primarily due to our idX business unit.

Earnings from operations for All Other reportable segments increased during the second quarter of 2019 by $0.4 million primarily due to profits realized in our retail market within our Alternative Materials segment.

Net sales attributable to All Other reportable segments increased in the first six months of 2019 compared to 2018 due to increases in sales to all our markets. The increase in sales to the retail market was primarily due to a $41.4 million increase to one of our big-box customers within our Alternative Materials segment, offset by decreases in sales to certain independent retailers. Our sales to the construction market increased primarily due to our idX business unit.

Earnings from operations for All Other reportable segments decreased during the first six months of 2019 by $0.5 million primarily due expenses associated with an advertising campaign launched in 2019 for our Deckorators brand within our Alternative Materials segment.

In general, we funded our growth in the past through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season which occurs during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters which typically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle increased to 53 days from 49 days during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior periods.

The increase in days supply of inventory was primarily due to opportunistic buying when lumber prices were low during the fourth quarter of 2018 to improve 2019 gross profits and higher levels of “safety stock” we carried to address transportation challenges and ensure timely deliveries to our customers.

In the first six months of 2019, our cash provided by operating activities was $70.9 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $91.1 million and $32.0 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $52.2 million seasonal increase in working

capital since the end of December  2018. Comparatively, in the first six months of 2018, our cash used in operating activities was $36.1 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $78.7 million and $24.1 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $138.9 million seasonal increase in working capital since the end of December  2017. Our seasonal increase in working capital was lower in 2019 due to opportunistic inventory buying in the fourth quarter of 2018, and lower lumber prices in 2019 helped mitigate the seasonal increase in our working capital.

Property, plant, and equipment comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first six  months of 2019 and totaled $42.5 million. Acquisitions comprised approximately $5.0 million during the first six months of 2019. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $48.3 million on June 29, 2019. We currently plan to spend up to $100 million for the  year on capital expenditures. Major anticipated expenditures include projects to replace our capacity in South Florida resulting from the sale of our Medley facility last year, expand capacity and enhance the productivity of our Deckorators decking product line due to favorable demand trends and share gains we’ve achieved, and several projects to expand manufacturing capacity to serve industrial customers and achieve efficiencies through automation. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the  year. The sale and purchase of investments totaling $4.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, are due to investment activity in our captive insurance subsidiary. Comparatively, acquisitions and purchases of property, plant, and equipment comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first six  months of 2018 and totaled $38.0 million and $54.3 million, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of our Medley, FL, plant provided approximately $36 million in net cash proceeds.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of net repayments under our revolving credit facility of approximately $14.6 million. Additionally, we paid a semi-annual dividend totaling $12.3 million or $0.20 per share.

On June 29, 2019, we had $37.7 million outstanding on our $375 million revolving credit facility. The amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility includes letters of credit totaling approximately $9.8 million on June 29, 2019; as a result, we had approximately $337.3 million in remaining availability on our revolver after considering letters of credit. Additionally, we have $150 million in availability under an amended “shelf agreement” for long term debt with a current lender after considering the second quarter 2018 issuance of long-term Senior Notes. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on June 29, 2019.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS

See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note E, “Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 29, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk .

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect

30

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the “Lumber Market”). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in their local currency, which is their functional currency, compared to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, certain of our operations enter into transactions that will be settled in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar. We entered into forward foreign exchange rate contracts in 2018, which have since expired, and may enter into further forward contracts in the future associated with mitigating the foreign currency exchange risk. Historically, our hedge contracts are deemed immaterial to the financial statements, however any material hedge contract in the future will be disclosed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . With the participation of management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e) as of the quarter ended June 29, 2019 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls . During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
