Financial highlights

Q4 2025 revenue was CAD 201.9 million, a 26% decrease year-over-year; annual revenue for 2025 was CAD 986.5 million, down from CAD 1,063.9 million in 2024.
Lumber shipments fell 26% and log shipments dropped 34% year-over-year in Q4, impacted by lower harvest volumes and higher duties (45% vs. 14%).
Liquidity at year-end 2025 was approximately CAD 212 million, with a net debt to capitalization ratio of 7%.
Net loss in Q4 2025 was CAD 17.5 million, compared to a net loss of CAD 1.2 million in Q4 2024.
Outlook and guidance
2026 CapEx expected between CAD 45–50 million, including CAD 16 million for new kilns.
Lumber markets remain challenged into 2026, with no significant demand improvement expected in H1.
Operating curtailments in 2025 and planned for Q1 2026 may reduce supply, potentially supporting prices as demand improves.
U.S. mortgage rates at three-year lows could modestly stimulate housing demand.
First quarter order file is approximately 78 million board feet; market demand for Q1 2026 is lower than Q4 2025.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
