Notable items:
Outlook North American lumber markets over the near term are expected to remain volatile as the economy continues to adjust to changing monetary policies, tariffs, labour shortages and geo-political uncertainty, and as industry-wide lumber production continues to adjust to match demand. Notably, benchmark lumber prices rebounded late in Q4'25 and into early Q1'26, with the SYP Composite lumber price rising US$102 per mfbm or 32%, the Western SPF Composite lumber price rising US$56 per mfbm or 15% and the KD H-F Stud 2x4 9’ lumber price rising US$100 per mfbm or 26% from the end of September 2025 through to the end of January 2026. Winter weather in North America, industry-wide market curtailments and seasonal demand factors are expected to drive ongoing price fluctuations in early 2026. Near-term volatility is likely to be amplified by the significantly higher duty rates on Canadian lumber exports to the U.S., the Section 232 tariff and by any additional tariffs or other trade restrictions, if imposed. Overall, the Company is well positioned to navigate this volatility with a diversified product mix in Canada and the U.S., with approximately 60% of its total lumber produced and sold within the U.S. Ultimately, only about 25% of the Company’s total lumber production is exported from Canada to the U.S. and exposed to duties, the Section 232 tariff and other potential trade measures. Over the mid-term, Canadian lumber is expected to remain a key source of supply to meet U.S. needs, as growth in U.S. lumber manufacturing capacity will likely be limited by labour constraints, lengthy equipment lead-times, residual offtake constraints and extended project ramp-up schedules. Over the same period, the North American lumber market is expected to continue to benefit from favourable underlying demand fundamentals, including the advanced age of the U.S. housing stock, a shortage of available housing and various demographic factors. Interfor’s strategy of maintaining a diversified portfolio of operations in multiple regions allows the Company to both reduce risk and maximize returns on capital over the business cycle.

Non-GAAP Measures This MD&A makes reference to the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt to invested capital ratio and Annualized return on capital employed which are used by the Company, certain investors and lenders to evaluate operating performance and financial position. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
