Manufacturing revenues decreased 14% and 12% in the second quarter and firstsix monthsof 2024, respectively. The revenue decline in the second quarter of 2024 is due to lower revenues at Hoover, Forney and Joyce, partially offset by a modest increase in revenues at Dekko. The revenue decline in the first six months of 2024 is due to lower revenues at all of the manufacturing businesses. The revenue decline at Hoover is due largely to a decrease in volumes and overall product demand, particularly for multi-family housing. Revenues declined at Dekko due to lower product demand. Overall, Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales in the first half of 2024 and 2023, with gains in the first half of 2024 lower than the prior year. For the second quarter of 2024, Hoover results included modest wood losses on inventory sales compared with wood gains on inventory sales in the second quarter of 2023.

Manu facturing revenues decreased 13% and 12% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. The revenue decline in the third quarter of 2024 is due to largely to lower revenues at Hoover, along with declines at Dekko, partially offset by increased revenues at Forney. The revenue decline in the first nine months of 2024 is due largely to lower revenues at Hoover, and declines at Dekko and Joyce. The revenue decline at Hoover is due largely to a decrease in overall product demand, particularly for multi-family housing. Revenues declined at Dekko due to lower product demand. Overall, Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, with gains in the first nine months of 2024 much lower than the prior year. For the third quarter of 2024, Hoover results included modest wood gains on inventory sales compared with higher wood gains on inventory sales in the third quarter of 2023. Manufacturing operating results improved in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 due to a $47.8 million goodwill impairment charge at Dekko recorded in the third quarter 2023. Excluding this goodwill impairment charge, manufacturing results were down in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, due largely to significant declines at Hoover and Dekko, along with declines at Joyce and Forney.
