UFP INDUSTRIES INC

**A.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OPERATIONS

We are a holding company whose subsidiaries supply products primarily made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials through three segments: retail, construction and packaging. Founded in 1955, we are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with affiliates throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, India and Australia.

PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “USD”), unless otherwise indicated.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), represent our assets and liabilities and operating results. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. We account for unconsolidated VIEs using the equity method of accounting.

As a result of the investment in Dempsey on June 27, 2022, we own 50% of the issued equity of that entity, and the remaining 50% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owners (“Sellers”). The investment in Dempsey is an unconsolidated variable interest entity and we have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting because we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Per the contracts, the Sellers have a put right to sell their equity interest to us for $50 million and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest for $70 million, which were both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of December 27, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $52.7 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of Dempsey relative to the strike price of the put option.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES

Noncontrolling interest in results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of the income or loss of various consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interest reflects the original investment by these noncontrolling shareholders combined with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of these subsidiaries, net of distributions paid.

FISCAL YEAR

Our fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period, ending on the last Saturday of December. Unless otherwise stated, references to 2025, 2024, and 2023 relate to the fiscal years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of 52 weeks.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We follow ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. This topic requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Our investment portfolio includes restricted investments within our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. There are $50.5 million and $39.1 million of restricted investments recorded as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

INVESTMENTS

Investments are deemed to be "available for sale" and are, accordingly, carried at fair value being the quoted market value.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES

We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due under a range of terms we offer to our customers. Discounts are offered, in most instances, as an incentive for early payment.

We base our allowances related to receivables on historical credit and collections experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the specific identification of other potential problems, including the general economic climate. Actual collections can differ, requiring adjustments to the allowances. Individual accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a monthly basis, and those balances considered uncollectible are charged to the allowance.

The following table presents the activity in our accounts receivable allowances (in thousands):

We record estimated sales returns, discounts, and other applicable adjustments as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.

Accounts receivable retainage amounts related to long term construction contracts totaled $7.0 million and $8.6 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. All amounts are expected to be collected within 18 months. Concentration of accounts receivable related to ourtwo largest customers totaled $95.7 million and $112.1 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangible - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Also, this ASU requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Our disclosures required by the new standard have been provided and updated retrospectively for all periods presented. Refer to Note J – Income Taxes.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead and is determined using the weighted average cost method. Raw materials consist primarily of unfinished wood products and other materials expected to be manufactured or treated prior to sale, while finished goods represent various manufactured and treated wood products ready for sale. We have inventory on consignment at customer locations valued at $19.0 million as of December 27, 2025 and $21.8 million as of December 28, 2024.

We write down the value of inventory, the impact of which is reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, if the cost of specific inventory items on hand exceeds the amount we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. These estimates are based on management's judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The components of property, plant and equipment as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

Amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Depreciation expense included in Cost of goods sold is $130.4 million, $118.0 million, and $104.8 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense included in Selling, general and administrative expenses is $8.0 million, $6.6 million, and $5.8 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Software costs are included in machinery and equipment on the balance sheet with gross amounts and accumulated amortization totaling $4.8 million and $4.6 million as of December 27, 2025, and $5.0 million and $4.8 million as of December 28, 2024, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), when an indicator of potential impairment exists, we evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets by determining whether unamortized balances could be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows over the remaining lives of the assets. If the sum of the expected future cash flows was less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss would be recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We classify assets and related liabilities as held for sale when the following conditions are met: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the net assets, (ii) the net assets are available for immediate sale, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the sale and transfer of the net assets is probable within one year, (v) the net assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to the current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the net assets. Upon designation as held for sale, we record the assets and related liabilities at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, reduced for the costs to dispose of the assets and related liabilities, which we determined using the estimated proceeds from the sale.

During 2025, we determined real estate properties and machinery and equipment within our Retail and Corporate segments met the criteria as held for sale, and therefore we have classified the related assets as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value measurements for the assets held for sale are generally based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party appraisals. The assets had a carrying value of$6.3 million as of December 27, 2025, after$3.3 million of impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2025. Additionally, we have recognized$13.8 million of gains on the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment that had been classified asassets held for sale during the year. The impairments and gains were included in net loss (gain) on disposition and impairments of assets on the consolidated statements of earnings and. comprehensive income.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized and are subject to impairment tests at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. We review the carrying amounts of goodwill and other non-amortizable intangibles by reporting unit to determine if such assets may be impaired. As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of September 27, 2025, it was determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values and there were no indicators for impairment for all of our reporting units. We believe we have sufficient available information, both current and historical, to support our assumptions, judgments and estimates used in the goodwill impairment test.

Our annual testing date for evaluating goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment is the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter for all reporting units. Additionally, we review various triggering events throughout the year to determine whether a mid-year impairment analysis is required.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Our foreign operations use the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated using weighted average rates, with translation adjustments included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from re-measuring foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.

INSURANCE RESERVES

Our wholly-owned insurance company, Ardellis Insurance Ltd.(“Ardellis”), was incorporated on April 21, 2001 under the laws of Bermuda and is licensed as a Class 3A insurer under the Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda. On April 14, 2017 the U.S. Branch of Ardellis Insurance Ltd. was granted its Certificate of Authority to transact property and casualty insurance lines as an admitted carrier in the State of Michigan.

We are primarily self-insured for certain employee health benefits, and have self-funded retentions for general liability, automobile liability, property and workers’ compensation. We are fully self-insured for environmental liabilities. The general liability, automobile liability, property, workers’ compensation, and certain environmental liabilities are managed through Ardellis; the related assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. Our policy is to accrue amounts equal to actuarially determined or internally computed liabilities. The actuarial and internal valuations are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal actions, medical cost trends, and changes in claims experience could cause these estimates to change in the future.

In addition to providing coverage for the Company, Ardellis provides Excess Loss Insurance (primarily medical and prescription drug) and Excess General Liability and Property Insurance to certain third parties. As of December 27, 2025, Ardellis had 334 such contracts in place. Reserves associated with these contracts were $13.9 million at December 27, 2025, and $12.1 million at December 28, 2024, and are accrued based on third party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Within thethree primary segments (Retail, Packaging, and Construction) that the Company operates, there are a variety of written agreements governing the sale of our products and services. The transaction price is stated at the purchase order level, which includes shipping and/or freight costs and any applicable governmental authority taxes. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation concentrated around the delivery of goods to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Therefore, revenue is recognized when this performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, title and control passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.

Certain customer products that we provide require installation by the Company or a third party. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion. If we use a third party for installation, the party will act as an agent to us until completion of the installation. Installation revenue represents an immaterial share of our total net sales.

We utilize rebates, credits, discounts and/or cash-based incentives with certain customers which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The allocation of these costs are applied at the invoice level and recognized in conjunction with revenue. Additionally, returns and refunds are estimated on a historical and expected basis which is a reduction of revenue recognized.

Earnings on construction contracts are recognized using over time accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations, which is in accordance with ASC 606 as revenue is recognized when certain performance obligations are performed. Under over time accounting using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs. Under over time accounting using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced relative to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are recognized in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price, and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

The following table presents our net sales disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):

The Construction segment comprises the construction contract revenue shown above. Construction contract revenue is primarily made up of site-built and framing customers.

The following table presents the balances of over time accounting accounts on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 which are included in Other current assets and Accrued liabilities: Other, respectively (in thousands):

SHIPPING AND HANDLING OF PRODUCT

Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by the customer are recognized as revenue. Costs incurred related to the shipment and handling of products are classified in cost of goods sold.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition of share-based compensation costs in financial statements based on fair value. Compensation cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (the requisite service period). Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include non-vested shares of restricted stock in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the performance period. EPS, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to controlling interest, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The computation of EPS is as follows (in thousands):

USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe our estimates to be reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

**B.**FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

From the assets measured at fair value as of December 27, 2025, listed in the table above, $207.9 million of money market funds are held in Cash and cash equivalents, $34.3 million of mutual funds, equity securities, and alternative investments are held in Investments, $28.0 million of equity securities are held in Other assets, $0.2 million of mutual funds are held in Other assets for our deferred compensation plan, and $49.9 million of fixed income funds and $0.6 million of money market funds are held in Restricted investments. As of December 28, 2024, $377.4 million of money market funds were held in Cash and cash equivalents, $31.0 million of mutual funds, equity securities, and alternative investments were held in Investments, $26.0 million of equity securities are held in Other assets, $0.2 million of mutual funds were held in Other assets for our deferred compensation plan, and $38.7 million of fixed income funds and $0.4 million of money market funds were held in Restricted investments.

We maintain money market, mutual funds, bonds, and/or equity securities in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, our wholly owned licensed captive insurance company, and assets held in financial institutions. These funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are included in Cash and cash equivalents, Investments, Other Assets, and Restricted Investments. We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

We have $28.0 million and $26.0 million of investments through our Innov8 Fund as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, which is designed to invest in emerging projects, services, and technologies. These investments are valued as Level 3 assets and are categorized as “Equity securities.” We evaluate these investments quarterly, including a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 321-10-35-3. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we concluded that one investment was fully impaired, resulting in a $6.5 million loss.

In accordance with our investment policy, our wholly-owned company, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. ("Ardellis"), maintains an investment portfolio, totaling $84.3 million and $69.8 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, which has been included in the aforementioned table of total investments. This portfolio consists of domestic and international equity securities, alternative investments, and fixed income bonds.

Ardellis’ available for sale investment portfolio, including funds held with the State of Michigan, consists of the following (in thousands):

Our fixed income investments consist of a blend of US Government and Agency bonds and investment grade corporate bonds with varying maturities. Our equity investments consist of small, mid, and large cap growth and value funds, as well as international equity. Our mutual fund investments consist of domestic and international stock. Our alternative investments consist of a private real estate income trust which is valued as a Level 3 asset. The net pre-tax unrealized gain was $8.6 million and $4.8 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. Carrying amounts above are recorded in the Investments and Restricted investments line items within the balance sheet as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

**C.**BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed the following business combinations in fiscal 2025 and 2024, which were accounted for using the purchase method (in thousands).

On August 8, 2024 we purchased the remaining 20% equity interest in UFP Palets from Palets Suller, SL.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, supplemented by the expertise of third-party valuation specialists engaged to assist in determining fair value for intangible assets, including goodwill. As of December 27, 2025, the valuations for the fair value determination of the intangible assets for the above NS and RWP business combinations have not been finalized. Therefore, changes in facts and circumstances may result in adjustments to the initial fair value estimates during the measurement period, which may not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The intangible assets and goodwill for the C&L acquisition were finalized during 2025. In aggregate, acquisitions made during 2025 and 2024 contributed approximately $33.8 million in net sales and a $2.4 million operating loss during 2025.

The amounts assigned to major intangible classes for the business combinations mentioned above are as follows (in thousands):

The business combinations described above were not significant to our operating results individually or in aggregate, and thus pro forma results for 2025 and 2024 are not presented.

**D.**GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As described in Note M — Segment Reporting, our segment structure is based upon the markets we serve and goodwill has been allocated to the segments using a relative fair value approach. The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, are as follows (in thousands):

As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of September 27, 2025, all reporting units had fair values that were substantially in excess of their carrying values.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled $7.3 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 related to the commercial unit within the Construction segment, the international unit within the All Other segment, and the Deckorators unit within the Retail segment.

The following amounts were included in other amortizable intangible assets, net as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 (in thousands):

Amortization is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets as follows:

Amortization expense of intangibles totaled $22.7 million, $23.5 million and $21.3 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The estimated amortization expense for intangibles for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):

**E.**DEBT

As of December 6, 2022, we entered into afive-year, $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks. This facility includes up to $60 million which may be advanced in the form of letters of credit, and up to $100 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) which may be advanced in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Sterling, Euros and such other foreign currencies as may subsequently be agreed upon among the parties. Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Company, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. We are charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 15.0 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon our performance. The facility fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

Outstanding letters of credit extended on our behalf on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 aggregated $40.4 million and $39.7 million, respectively. These letters of credit as of December 27, 2025 are comprised of $39.2 million issued under the revolving credit facility, including approximately $3.3 million related to industrial development revenue bonds, and $1.2 million issued outside of the facility. We hadno amount outstanding on the revolver at December 27, 2025, and December 28, 2024. After considering letters of credit, we had $710.8 million and $712.7 million in remaining availability on the revolver on December 27, 2025, and December 28, 2024, respectively. Letters of credit haveone-year terms, include an automatic renewal clause, and are charged an annual interest rate of 112.5 to 122.5 basis points, based upon our financial performance.

Long-term debt obligations are summarized as follows on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 (amounts in thousands):

Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest coverage tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold among other industry standard covenants. We were within all of our lending requirements on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

On December 27, 2025, the principal maturities of long-term debt and finance lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):

On December 27, 2025, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $210.1 million, which was $19.9 million less than the carrying value. The estimated fair value is based on rates anticipated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities. We consider the valuations of our long-term debt, including the current portion, to be Level 2 liabilities which rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the liability.

**F.**LEASES

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We lease certain real estate under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with typical original terms ranging fromone toten years. We are required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs under certain leases, which are variable in nature and not included in the right of use asset or lease liability. Certain leases carry renewal options offive tofifteen years. We believe that future leases will likely have similar terms. We also lease motor vehicles, equipment, and anaircraft under operating lease agreements for periods ofone toten years. We do not typically enter into leases with residual value guarantees. There were no restrictions or covenants imposed by any lease agreements.

We believe finance leases have no significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet and statement of earnings as of December 27, 2025.

As of December 27, 2025, we have no leases that have not yet commenced that would significantly impact our financial position.

There were no lease transactions between related parties as of December 27, 2025.

The rates implicit in our leases are primarily not readily available. To determine the discount rate used to present value the lease payments, we utilize the 7-year treasury note rate plus a blend of rate spreads associated with our 10 to 15 year senior notes along with estimated spreads based on current market conditions. We feel the determined rate is a reasonable representation of our lease population.

Lease costs under non-cancelable operating leases on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense was approximately $53.2 million, $54.7 million, and $49.7 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The amounts paid for operating leases, included in the measurement of lease liabilities, were $34.4 million in the year ended December 27, 2025 and $35.2 million in the year ended December 28, 2024. In addition, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were approximately $36.8 million and $45.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases on December 27, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the weighted average lease term for operating leases was 7.66 years and 6.91 years, respectively. Similarly, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 5.38% and 4.86%, respectively.

**G.**DEFERRED COMPENSATION

We have a program whereby certain executives irrevocably elected to defer receipt of certain compensation in 1985 through 1988. Deferred compensation payments to these executives commenced upon their retirement. We purchased life insurance on these executives, payable to us in amounts which, if assumptions made as to mortality experience, policy dividends, and other factors are realized, will accumulate cash values adequate to reimburse us for all payments for insurance and deferred compensation obligations. The investment in life insurance contracts as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, was $13.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, and is recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We also maintain a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of senior management employees who may elect to defer a portion of their annual bonus payments and salaries. The Plan provides investment options similar to our 401(k) plan, including our stock. The investment in our stock is funded by the issuance of shares to a Rabbi trust, and may only be distributed in kind. For Plan participants who defer compensation into our stock, our Executive Stock Match Program provides that the Company will issue additional shares of our common stock to those participants at a rate of 35% of the amount deferred by the participant into our stock. The additional shares issued pursuant to the Executive Stock Match Program are subject tofive year vesting. Assets held by the Plan totaled approximately $0.1 million on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, and are included in Other assets. Related liabilities totaled $70.8 million and $67.0 million on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, and are included in Other liabilities and Shareholders’ equity. Assets associated with the Plan are recorded at fair market value. The related liabilities are also recorded at fair market value, with the exception of obligations associated with investments in our stock which are recorded at the market value on the date of deferral.

In addition, see the description of our Director Compensation Plan in Note H “Common Stock” below.

**H.**COMMON STOCK

We maintain and administer our shareholder approved Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our stock at a share price equal to 85% of fair market value on the purchase date. We have expensed the fair value of the compensation associated with these awards, which approximates the discount. The amount of expense is nominal.

We maintain and administer our shareholder approved Director Compensation Plan. The Director Compensation Plan allows eligible members of the Board of Directors to defer the cash portion of their retainer and committee fees, credited in the form of stock units, and receive shares of our stock at the time of or following their retirement, disability or death. The number of shares to be received is equal to the amount of the cash portion of their retainer and committee fees deferred multiplied by 110%, divided by the fair market value of a share of our stock at the time of deferral. The number of units is increased by the amount of dividends paid on our common stock. The units are immediately vested as of the grant date, since they are considered payment for services rendered quarterly. We recognized expense for this plan of $1.7 million in 2025, $2.0 million in 2024, and $1.9 million in 2023. This plan also allows directors to defer payment of the annual retainer paid in the form of our common stock. The number of shares to be received for their portion of the retainer that is deferred is equal to the amount of shares plus the number of shares attributable to cash dividends payable on those deferred shares.

We also maintain and administer our shareholder approved Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "LTSIP”). The LTSIP provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, sales incentive awards, and other stock-based awards.

Pursuant to our Executive Stock Match Program, awards are granted in the year following the requisite service period, which begins at the beginning of each fiscal year, and fully vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note G "Deferred Compensation" for additional information.

Below is a summary of common stock issuances for 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data):

A summary of the nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the LTSIP is as follows:

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and LTSIP, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $37.8 million, $38.2 million, and $34.9 million and the related total income tax benefits of $9.3 million, $8.5 million, and $8.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the year-ended December 27, 2025, an estimated $11.5 million of share-based bonus awards will be awarded under the LTSIP in 2026 to qualified employees based on the Company’s 2025 performance. Awards granted generally vest after a period offive years from the grant date. In addition to the share-based bonus awards, we also issue performance units that entitle certain employees to receive shares of our common stock to the extent the metrics in those performance units are achieved over athree year period. An estimated $0.5 million of performance units will be awarded in 2026. The number of shares and performance units awarded will be determined using the share price as of the grant date on February 19, 2026. As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we recognized approximately $2.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to share-based bonus awards and performance units for each of those respective performance years.‬

We have a Sales Incentive Plan for certain eligible employees. Under this plan, sales incentives are determined and calculated using a formula-based approach and estimated monthly based on specific performance metrics. This Plan places a cap on cash payments with the remaining earned incentive being settled in share-based awards. These awards generally vest after a period offive years from the grant date. For the year-ended December 27, 2025, there wereno shares issued in 2026 for the 2025 performance year. As of December 28, 2024, we recognized approximately $0.3 million of compensation expense related to share-based sales incentive awards for that performance year.‬

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, cash received from share issuances under our plans was $2.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

During 2025, we repurchased 4,498,835 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $98.39. During 2024, we repurchased approximately 1,409,266 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $113.53. On July 24, 2024, and announced July 30, 2024, our board authorized the repurchase of up $200 million of outstanding stock through July 31, 2025. This share repurchase authorization was subsequently increased by the board on April 23, 2025, from $200 million to $300 million worth of outstanding stock. Effective July 23, 2025, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2026. This share authorization supersedes and replaces our prior share repurchase authorizations. As of December 27, 2025, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $126 million worth of shares through July 31, 2026.

**I.**RETIREMENT PLANS

We have a profit sharing and 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all of our employees, excluding the employees of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. Amounts contributed to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We matched 25% of employee contributions in 2025, 2024, and 2023, on a discretionary basis, totaling $7.0 million, $7.7 million, and $8.8 million respectively. Included within the total employee matched contribution was an additional matched contribution for hourly employees of $1.8 million for 2023 based on meeting certain performance goals during those years. There wasno additional matched contribution for hourly employees in 2025 and 2024. The basis for matching contributions may not exceed the lesser of 6% of the employee’s annual compensation or the IRS limitation.

We maintain an Executive Retirement Plan for certain officers of the Company (who have at least 20 years of service with the Company and at least 10 years of service as an officer) whereby we will pay, upon retirement, certain benefits including health care benefits, for a specified period of time if certain eligibility requirements are met. Approximately $17.0 million and $16.9 million are accrued in Other liabilities for this plan on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

**J.**INCOME TAXES

Income tax provisions for the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The components of earnings before income taxes consist of the following:

The effective income tax rates are different from the statutory federal income tax rates for the following reasons:

We assessed foreign tax effects on an individual jurisdiction basis, as required by ASU 2023-09. No foreign jurisdiction, either individually or in aggregate, exceeded the threshold for separate disclosure. As a result, foreign tax effects are presented as a single aggregated reconciling item in the effective tax rate reconciliation.

The following states make up the majority of our state and local income tax expense:

Temporary differences which give rise to deferred income tax assets and (liabilities) on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Income taxes paid (net of refunds received) during the year ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

All state, local, and foreign jurisdictions individually represented less than 5% of total income taxes paid, net of refunds, and are included in the aggregated amounts above.

As of December 27, 2025, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $9.9 million. The NOL carryforwards expire as follows:

As of December 27, 2025, we believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state and foreign NOL carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $3.6 million against the various NOLs. Furthermore, there is a valuation allowance of $0.5 million against a capital loss carryforward we have for a wholly-owned subsidiary, UFP Canada, Inc. Based upon the business activity and the nature of the assets of this subsidiary, our ability to realize a future benefit from this carryforward is doubtful. The capital loss has an unlimited carryforward and therefore will not expire unless there is a change in control of the subsidiary.

The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) reached an agreement among various countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. We continue to analyze the impacts of these legislative changes to our effective tax rate, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. As of December 27, 2025, we do not expect the impact of Pillar Two legislation to have a material impact on our tax expense.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of OBBBA beyond 2025; however, any effects are expected to relate primarily to deferred tax items and are not anticipated to materially impact our effective tax rate.

**K.**ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES

ASC 740,Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure requirements.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Our effective tax rate would have been affected by the unrecognized tax benefits had this amount been recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

We recognized interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million for the year December 27, 2025, $0.6 million for the year December 28, 2024, and $0.4 million for the year December 30, 2023.

**L.**COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

On December 27, 2025, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $135.4 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We also distribute products manufactured by other companies. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances, we are required to post payment and performance bonds to ensure the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims properly made against these bonds. As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately $23.7 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $6.0 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On December 27, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $40.4 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts, industrial development revenue bonds, and other debt agreements described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers and other third parties to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts and other legal agreements. As of December 27, 2025, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $37.1 million for these types of arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under those insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $3.3 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of UFP Industries, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2018 and 2020 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during 2025 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

**M.**SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the chief executive officer, as he has the ultimate decision-making authority related to assessing the Company’s performance and allocating resources. The CODM assesses performance for our segments and decides how to allocate resources based on net sales, cost of goods sold, earnings from operations and net earnings. These metrics are also reported on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses earnings from operations and net earnings to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on investment) in determining wage increase allocations and bonus pools, and in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the business, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.

We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and focused sales approach among Company operations, efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations that serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment. Two customers, The Home Depot and Lowes, accounted for approximately 17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2025,17% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2024 and 17% and 12%, respectively, in 2023.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our packaging operations in Mexico, Canada, Spain, India, and Australia and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world, and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.

“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consist of over (under) allocated costs and net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing, which manages supplier relationships and purchases lumber and other materials, UFP Transportation, which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, and UFP Real Estate, which owns and leases real estate. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates. Total assets in the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, and certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., UFP Transportation, Inc., and UFP Purchasing, Inc. Real estate activities are conducted by the real estate company on behalf of the segments, and capital expenditures associated with real estate are allocated to the segments.
