Louisiana-Pacific Corporation

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Louisiana Pacific Corporation Q2 2021 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode.

Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. If you require any further assistance, please press star 0. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Aaron Howald, Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss LP's results for the second quarter of 2021, as well as our outlook for the third quarter. My name is Aaron Howald, and I'm LP's Director of Investor Relations. I'm joined this morning by Brad Southern, LP's Chief Executive Officer, and Alan Hockey, Chief Financial Officer. In addition to this morning's conference call, we are hosting a simultaneous webcast, and we have uploaded a presentation to which we will refer during the discussion. We also filed our 8K this morning with some additional information. All these materials are available on LP's investor relations website, www.investor.lpcorp.com. Slides two and three of the accompanying presentation provide notices and detail regarding forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial metrics. The appendix of the presentation also contains some necessary reconciliations that are further supplemented by this morning's 8K filing. Rather than read these statements, I incorporate them herein by reference. Finally, in today's discussion and materials, we refer to citing solutions where we would previously have said SmartSide. This is an expanded descriptor, which, in addition to SmartSide, also includes newly developed strand citing products with different branding. I should stress that this modification is consistent with and therefore does not require any recasting of any previously reported growth numbers for SmartSide strand siding. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Brad.

Thanks, Aaron, and good morning, everyone.
