Sales rose 11%, but UFP Industries’ profit fell to $58.6 million

UFP Industries reported an 11% increase in net sales to $1.73B, driven by organic growth and acquisitions. However, net earnings fell 22.4% to $58.6M due to higher freight and lumber costs. Adjusted EBITDA declined 14.8% to $119.3M. CEO Will Schwartz highlighted organic unit growth and new product sales, but noted profitability was impacted by elevated transportation costs. The company expects to meet or exceed initial profitability targets despite market challenges.
