Universal Forest Products (NASDAQ: UFPI) reported Q3 EPS of $0.66, $0.07 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.73. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.21 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.19 billion.
“I want to thank the hard-working employees of Universal for once again producing record results, driven by strong unit sales growth of 7 percent and overall sales growth of 15 percent,” stated CEO Matt Missad. “We achieved these results despite the headwinds we experienced from a quickly changing lumber market, rising labor, benefit and transportation costs, and the short-term effects of Hurricane Florence.
“While we are pleased to report a record quarter, we know we can do better. We are improving our mix of value-added new products, investing in automation to address rising costs and improving performance at underperforming operations.”
