Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this item and Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, attached hereto, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On November 6, 2018, Louisiana - Pacific Corporation (LP) issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2018, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the attached press release discloses continuing earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA from continuing operations”) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, it discloses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations which further adjusts EBITDA from continuing operations to exclude stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net and other non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by net sales, is disclosed. It also discloses Adjusted income from operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and charges, net, and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted income from operations are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or other GAAP measures of operating performance. A copy of the reconciliation of Adjusted income from operations, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
We have EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the press release because we use them as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe that similarly-titled measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present similarly-titled measures when reporting their results. We use EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. It should be noted that companies calculate similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization which are necessary to operate our business or which we otherwise incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.
We believe that Adjusted income from operations, which excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets and other operating credits and charges, net, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing this measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to in the press release to our earnings for past and future periods. We believe that this measure is particularly useful where the amounts of the excluded items are not consistent between the periods presented. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted income from operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our business.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

“Looking forward, while we are encouraged by the overall fundamentals in housing, we have experienced pricing declines in OSB associated with some recent supply and demand imbalances. To address this, we will continue to adjust our commodity OSB production to reflect changes in demand. We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our commitments to shareholders by returning capital through dividends and share repurchases while prudently operating our assets and investing in key growth opportunities to continue our transition to more value-add and specialty products,” Southern concluded.
