Earnings call: Interfor faces negative EBITDA, plans for a brighter 2025 By Investing.com

Interfor Corporation's Financial Performance: Interfor reported a challenging second quarter with a negative adjusted EBITDA of $17 million due to weak lumber pricing, but maintains a solid financial position with a net debt-to-invested-capital ratio of 35% and available liquidity of $331 million. The company is implementing operational adjustments and curtailing low-margin mills to navigate the current market conditions.

Market Outlook and Demand Trends: Despite ongoing challenges in the lumber market, Interfor's management remains optimistic about future recovery, particularly as supply chains stabilize and interest rates potentially decrease. They anticipate that pent-up demand will eventually lead to increased activity in both single-family housing and repair and remodel sectors.
