General Development of the Business.

UFP Industries, Inc. (“we” or “our”) is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that design, manufacture and supply products made from wood, composites, and other materials to three markets: retail, packaging, and construction. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For more information about UFP Industries, Inc., or our affiliated operations, go to www.ufpi.com.

Information relating to current developments in our business is incorporated by reference from our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 ("2023 Annual Report") under the caption "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Selected portions of the 2023 Annual Report are filed as Exhibit 13 with this Form 10-K Report.

Financial Information About Segments.

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 in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. Among other things, this structure allows for a specialized and consistent 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.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia operations, and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis, our insurance captive, are referred to as “All Other” throughout this report.

The Corporate segment includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consists of over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, are also included in Corporate. Inter-company lease and services charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates.

Narrative Description of Business.

Historically, we owned and operated a number of manufacturing facilities across North America that served our various markets, and we managed those operations primarily on a geographic basis. As part of that structure, the managers of those facilities and geographic business units were responsible for and compensated on the basis of each facility's, unit's, and region's respective financial performance. This structure fostered a strong entrepreneurial and sales culture, as well as significant revenue growth – from 2011 to 2019 our revenues increased from $1.8 billion to $4.4 billion. We believe that the duration and durability of our relationships with many of our customers, which extend over several decades with certain key customers, is a reflection of our strong sales culture and intense focus on providing custom solutions.

2

The growth in our business, and in the size and number of our customers, generated an increased need for a deeper understanding of the markets we serve, as well as the need to offer more complete solutions, services, and products for existing and prospective customers. That need, combined with our growth objectives, required a structure that would reorient the company’s focus from geography to end markets. Our 2020 restructuring accomplished that objective and now allows us to better serve our customers, recognize and exploit market opportunities, enhance the efficiency of our operations, and improve the deployment of capital. At the same time, we continue to maintain our existing compensation philosophy and practices of rewarding the financial performance of our plants, business units, and segments, based upon pre-bonus operating profits and return on investment, to preserve our strong entrepreneurial and sales culture.

Our business segments are functionally interdependent and are supported by common corporate services, such as accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, legal and compliance, and others. We regularly invest in automation and create best practices to improve the efficiency of our manufacturing facilities across each of the segments. The results and improvements from these investments are shared among the segments. This exchange of improvements and ideas has also prompted better and faster innovation for new products, processes, and product improvements.

Importantly, the restructuring allows us to better evaluate market conditions and opportunities, while effectively allocating capital and resources to the appropriate segments and business units. Also, we believe that the diversification and manner in which we operate our business provides an inherent hedge against the inevitable business cycles that our markets experience and over which we have little control. Accordingly, our goal is to provide stable earnings and cash flows to our shareholders. Our diversification and operating practices also mitigate the impact of volatile lumber market conditions experienced by traditional lumber companies.

Retail Solutions segment. Our Retail Solutions segment is comprised of the following business units: ProWood, Deckorators and UFP-Edge. The segment is focused on distinct product offerings which are grouped by brands and business units. These groupings may change periodically as opportunities to gain efficiencies occur or development of products that deliver increased scale and synergy are developed.

ProWood. Our ProWood business unit manufactures and sells pressure-treated lumber products, including decking, fencing, and lattice, as well as decorative and functional lawn and garden products to building products retailers across the nation. This business unit includes our branded ProWood line of pressure-treated and fire-retardant products used primarily for outdoor decking environments, including associated accessories. It also includes our branded Outdoor Essentials line of lawn and garden products, consisting of wood and vinyl fencing and lattice, garden beds and planters, pergolas, picnic tables, and other landscaping products. Numerous pressure-treaters exist on local and regional scales with none approaching the volume sold by UFP. We estimate we produce approximately 28% of all residential treated wood, 9% of all wood fencing, and 8% of all fire-retardant wood products.

Deckorators. This business unit includes the manufacture of wood plastic composite and our patented Surestone mineral based composite decking and related decking accessories, including aluminum railing systems, balusters, post caps, and similar products, as well as customized, aluminum fencing. Customers include big box home improvement retailers, regional home centers and wholesale distributors. We estimate we manufacture 6% of all composite decking and railing in the U.S.

UFP-Edge. This business unit manufactures and sells exterior siding, pattern, trim and facia products. These products include traditional wood, engineered wood and modified wood siding with a variety of finish and profile alternatives as well as primed wood trim boards and facia. It also includes interior pattern and trim products, as well as pre-painted and primed shiplap and project boards. UFP-Edge is sold to home improvement retailers and two-step distributors.

UFP Retail Solutions has numerous competitive advantages. We are not aware of any competitor that currently manufactures, treats and distributes a full line of both value-added and commodity-based products, on a national basis, as we do within this segment. We believe the breadth of our product offering, scale and geographic dispersion, proximity of our plants to core customers and key vendors, product innovation initiatives, purchasing and manufacturing expertise, procurement advantages, and service capabilities provide us a competitive edge in this market.

3

We supply customers in this segment from many of our locations. Our facilities supply mixed truckloads of products, delivered to customers with rapid turnaround. Freight costs are a factor in the ability to competitively service this market, especially with treated wood products due to their weight. The proximity of our manufacturing facilities to customer locations is factored into annual sales programs. The Retail segment services two of our largest customers, The Home Depot and Lowes, which accounted for approximately 17% and 12%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2023, 15% and 11%, respectively, in 2022, and 16% and 10%, respectively, in 2021.

See Note M "Segment Reporting" of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Retail Solutions segment.

Packaging segment. Formerly known as our Industrial segment, it is comprised of the following business units: Structural Packaging, PalletOne, and Protective Packaging Solutions.

Structural Packaging. This business unit designs, engineers, manufactures and tests custom packaging products primarily made of wood and metal. These products are custom designed, often including mixed materials, and manufactured based upon specific customer needs and requirements. We serve a wide variety of regional, national, and global customers in several end markets such as building materials, durable goods, agricultural, moving and storage, heavy equipment and automotive. We utilize combinations of various materials through industrial engineering and testing to promote the best value and functionality for our customers. In Structural Packaging there are regional companies that produce similar product lines, and small single-location competitors in most of our markets. We estimate our domestic market share in Structural Packaging to be 10-12%.

PalletOne. This business unit designs and manufactures pallets primarily made of wood and heat-treated wood. Our pallets are designed and manufactured in numerous sizes and configurations and are used by our customers for shipping a wide assortment of consumer and industrial products. This business unit also includes a recycling operation of previously used pallets. Keys to our success in this business unit are low-cost production through expanded automation, including robotics and high efficiency pallet machines, and the procurement of competitively priced industrial grade wood fiber. In 2022 the company acquired a 50% equity stake in Dempsey Wood Products, LLC, which produces pallet lumber and other industrial wood products in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The lumber Dempsey produces is a crucial product for pallet operations and has been in short supply as larger mills produce less of this type of lumber. PalletOne’s investment in Dempsey helps it secure and grow a critical long-term supply source. There are numerous local and regional pallet manufacturers that compete with PalletOne. We estimate that, as the largest supplier, we manufacture approximately 10% of new machine-built pallets nationally.

Protective Packaging Solutions. This business unit consists of a wide variety of products, such as corrugate, foam, labels, strapping and films. These products are primarily sold as additional offerings to our structural packaging products and pallets and are generally sold as a means of providing a more complete solution to our customers' packaging needs and requirements. Over the last five years, we have added additional products and services to this business unit to meet the increasing demand of our customers to provide a wider array of innovative solutions to their packaging and shipping needs. Through the acquisitions of Advantage Label in Grand Rapids, MI, and Titan Manufacturing, a highly-automated corrugate converter in Flower Mound, TX, UFP has become a manufacturer of labels and corrugate boxes, two significant growth categories for UFP Packaging.

Competitive advantages for UFP Packaging include: being a low cost pallet producer due to our supply agreements, investments in vertical integration, and level of automation in our manufacturing plants; our scale and ability to serve large global, national and regional customers; design and engineering expertise, coupled with our ability to manufacture structural packaging with mixed materials, allowing us to provide creative, value-added solutions to our customers; single-source supplier offering a wide breadth of products, allowing customers to buy more efficiently.

We plan to acquire companies across the industrial packaging spectrum with capabilities in product categories that allow us to fill geographical gaps that enhance our ability to offer valuable packaging solutions to our customers.

See Note M "Segment Reporting" of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Packaging segment.

Construction segment. Our construction segment is comprised of the following business units – Factory-Built Housing, Site-Built Construction, Commercial Construction, and Concrete Forming.

Factory-Built Housing. This business unit designs and manufactures roof trusses, cut-to-size dimensional and board lumber, plywood, and oriented strand board, all intended for use in the construction of manufactured housing. Our customers in this market are producers of mobile, modular and prefabricated homes and, to a lesser extent, recreational vehicles (RV) and cargo trailers. Our principal competitive advantages include our product knowledge, the strength of our engineering support services, the proximity of our regional facilities to our customers, our purchasing and manufacturing expertise and our ability to provide national sales programs to certain customers. As a result of these advantages, we estimate we produce approximately 45% of all roof trusses used in factory-built housing in the United States. We also distribute products such as siding, electrical, plumbing, and many other specialty products to factory-built housing and RV customers. Customer vertical integration strategies have affected us in certain regions, and we’ve taken steps to mitigate this risk by increasing our value as a supplier through innovation and low cost production.

Site-Built Construction. This business unit designs and manufactures roof and floor trusses, wall panels, I-joists and lumber packages as well as engineered wood components used to frame residential and light commercial projects. Recent acquisitions, including Atlantic Prefab, Inc., Exterior Designs, LLC, and Patriot Building Systems, LLC, and Endurable Building Products have given the company manufacturing capability in alternate material components such as metal trusses, sheathed and pre-finished light gauge metal wall panels and aluminum balconies, decks and rail accessories. We’ve made a variety of investments in automation, allowing us to enhance efficiency and capacity in numerous UFP Construction operations. Our recently launched proprietary smartphone application, TrussTrax, provides a convenient, simple way for builders to track orders, shipments and engineered documents 24 hours a day, and has enjoyed wide customer adoption. Our customers in this market are primarily large-volume, multi-tract builders and smaller volume custom builders. We also supply builders engaged in multi-family and light commercial construction. We currently estimate that approximately 65% of the unit's business is for single-family homes while 35% is for multi-family structures.

Competition in site-built construction consists of numerous national and regional building products dealers who also manufacture components and/or provide framing services, as well as regional manufacturers of engineered wood components. We believe our primary competitive advantages relate to the engineering and design capabilities of our staff, purchasing and manufacturing expertise, product quality, timeliness of delivery, and financial strength, as well as providing a comprehensive turn-key package, including installation in selected markets. As a result of these strengths, we estimate we produce approximately 12% of all engineered wood components used in housing in the United States. Generally, terms of sale and pricing are determined based on contracts we enter into with our customers. We currently supply customers in these markets from manufacturing facilities in many different states, primarily located in the non-urban Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Texas, and Colorado. We have intentionally avoided markets that have experienced more severe demand volatility for housing. Also, the states in which we have a presence are forecast to continue to benefit from migration trends in the United States. Freight costs are a factor in the ability to competitively service this market due to the space requirements of these products on each truckload. We also provide framing services for builders in certain regional markets in which we erect the wood structure.

Commercial Construction. Our commercial construction business unit primarily includes the operations of idX Holdings, Inc. idX is a designer, manufacturer and installer of highly customized interior fixtures, casework and architectural millwork used in a variety of retail and commercial structures. This business unit serves customers throughout North America and to a lesser extent, Asia and Europe, in healthcare, hospitality, quick service restaurants, retail, and financial, offering comprehensive, streamlined solutions and customized products while managing programs from concept through completion, on a global scale. We believe we are one of the top five custom interior environment providers globally and the largest diversified custom solutions provider.

Concrete Forming. This business unit designs, manufactures and supplies wood forms and related products that are used by our customers to set or form concrete for various structures, including large parking garages, stadiums, commercial structures, and infrastructure projects such as bridges. Our customers in this business unit include general contractors as well as distributors. We believe we are unique in our ability to deliver highly engineered, factory-built solutions to job sites.

5

We believe the diversification of the end markets we serve in our Construction segment as well as the breadth of our products and services represent a competitive advantage.

See Note M "Segment Reporting" of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 for our disaggregated net sales by business unit for our Construction segment.

UFP Purchasing/Suppliers. Our purchasing team manages and purchases wood fiber for each of our segments. The three main end markets for softwood lumber in North America – retail, construction, and packaging – align with our three business segments We are the largest converter of solid sawn softwood lumber from North American primary producers (lumber mills). For 2023, we estimate we purchased approximately 8% of the 51.5 billion board feet of North America softwood lumber production. The volume and variety of lumber dimensions purchased allows us to consume all grades and dimensions of what many of our mill suppliers produce, effecting and maintaining long-term, beneficial relationships with many of those suppliers. In turn, this has allowed us to better manage our raw materials inventory (including vendor-managed inventory), lower our costs, and mitigate the volatility of lumber prices.

We use primarily southern yellow pine in our pressure-treating operations and our site-built housing, structural packaging, and machine-built pallet operations in the Southeastern United States. Southern yellow pine is sourced from mills ranging from Texas to the Carolinas. We also use spruce-pine-fir from both Eastern and Western Canada; hemlock, douglas fir and cedar from the Pacific Northwest; inland species of pine, plantation grown radiata and southern yellow pines from South America; and various European softwoods. During 2023 our annual purchases of lumber totaled approximately $2.2 billion and consisted of the following species and their respective percent of total lumber purchases: southern yellow pine (69%), spruce-pine-fir (13%), and douglas fir (2%), while the remaining 16% of lumber purchases comprise various other species and imports outside of North America. Additionally, we purchased approximately $571.7 million in plywood in 2023. There are numerous primary producers for all varieties we use, and we are not dependent on any particular source of supply.

Intellectual Property. We own numerous patents and have several patents pending on technologies related to our business. Examples include our Deckorators brand of composite decking and railing and its proprietary, patented Surestone technology used to produce mineral-based composite decking; Trusstrax, mobile application offered to our Site-Built customers; and the ProWood brand of pressure-treated lumber and outdoor living products. In addition, we own numerous registered trademarks and claim common law trademark rights to several others. As we develop proprietary brands, we may pursue registration or other formal protection. While we believe our patent and trademark rights are valuable, the loss of a patent or any trademark would not be likely to have a material adverse impact on our competitive position.

Backlog. Due to the nature of our retail and industrial businesses, backlog information is not meaningful. The maximum time between receipt of a firm order and shipment does not usually exceed a few days. Therefore, we would not normally have a backlog of unfilled orders in a material amount. The relationships with our major customers are such that we are either the exclusive supplier of certain products and/or certain geographic areas, or the designated source for a specified portion of a customer's requirements. In such cases, either we are able to forecast the customer's requirements, or the customer may provide an estimate of its future needs. In neither case, however, will we receive firm orders until just prior to the anticipated delivery dates for the products ordered.

On December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we estimate that backlog orders associated with our customized interior fixture businesses approximated $59.2 million and $90.1 million, respectively. Cancelled orders have been removed from the prior year figure.

On December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we estimate that backlog orders associated with our site-built construction businesses approximated $79.7 million and $91.1 million, respectively. We expect that the orders above will be primarily filled within the next fiscal year; however, it is possible that some orders could be canceled.

Seasonality. Information required for seasonality disclosures is incorporated by reference from Item 1A. Risk Factors under the caption “Seasonality and weather conditions, including those arising from climate change, could adversely affect us.”

Human Capital Management. On December 30, 2023, we had approximately 15,800 employees. For nearly 70 years, the success of our company has rested on the skill, motivation and performance of our employees. We treat our people honestly and fairly, creating career paths and training opportunities to develop and expand their scope of responsibilities and financial rewards. This approach to human capital, which is embedded in the Company's culture, has fostered an environment where our employees often commit their respective careers to UFP Industries, Inc.

Environmental, Social, and Governance. Matters of sustainability, health and safety, employee welfare, supply chain management, and community engagement are managed by our executive team, with oversight from our Nominating and Corporate Governance and Personnel and Compensation Committees. In March 2023, we published on our website our fiscal year 2022 “Governance Report,” detailing our responsible practices as well as our future outlook. We anticipate publishing on our website our fiscal year 2023 Governance Report during the second quarter of 2024.

Our manufacturing operations have a long history of environmental stewardship through efficiency and energy savings, waste management, and responsible product sourcing. We quantified our 2022 Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our fiscal year 2022 Governance Report and plan to disclose our 2023 Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions in 2024.

We are driven by operational excellence throughout the enterprise and by cultivating a unique culture that provides significant opportunity for professional and personal growth. In managing our human capital, we have focused our efforts on employee health and safety, equal opportunity for all, and learning and development.

At UFP we welcome all who are willing to work hard. We do not discriminate in hiring, promotion, or opportunity – we believe the best performers should be rewarded commensurately. We prefer hiring people with potential and helping them grow and achieve their goals within our company. To provide opportunity to a broader base of our teammates we removed the requirement of a 4-year degree for sales and management positions and give credit for work experience. We use our internal training programs and UFP Business School to help employees gain functional knowledge and hone the skills and competencies that allow them advancement to greater roles and responsibilities.

We have a long history of supporting talented and hard-working employees go from factory floor to management, sales and operations roles. These transformations require diligence and dedication, and they demonstrate that regardless of background, our teammates at UFP have a chance to make a better life for themselves and their families. We also recognize the need to hire talented individuals from outside the company who bring special expertise and innovative skills to UFP.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Pressures from various global and national macroeconomic events, including recessionary concerns, heightened inflation, uncertainty regarding future interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, recent adverse weather conditions, escalating tensions in the Middle East, the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine war, and potential governmental responses to these events have created, and continue to create, significant economic uncertainty and could materially and adversely impact our financial performance. The extent to which these macroeconomic pressures may impact our business, results of operations, costs and financial condition will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and difficult to predict. While we have planned for and anticipate a mild U.S. recession continuing into 2024, any one or more of the above macroeconomic factors could result in a more severe and longer recessionary cycle, which would have an adverse and potentially material impact on our business and financial performance.

We may be impacted by a significant change in the value of the U.S. dollar and our results of operations may be harmed by currency fluctuations and inflation. We purchase a variety of raw materials and finished goods from sources around the world and export certain products. The impact of a change in U.S. dollar exchange rates, and inflation, would impact our import purchases and export sales, which totaled $391.2 million and $246.3 million, respectively, in 2023. In addition, many of our packaging customers export their products; consequently, any adverse impact on those customers from currency fluctuations and inflation may have an adverse impact on our sales to those customers.

Our growth may be limited by the customer demand in the markets we serve, including our construction market which is highly cyclical. Our sales growth is dependent, in part, upon the growth of the markets we serve. If our markets do not achieve anticipated growth, or if we fail to maintain our market share, financial results could be impaired.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the "Lumber Market"). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government and environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales, cost of materials, and gross profits. Our products are generally priced to the customer based on a quoted, fixed selling price or "indexed" to the Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profit. The impact on our profitability from changes in lumber prices is discussed in the “Historical Lumber Prices” and "Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results" captions of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section under Item 7 of this Form 10-K. Our lumber costs, including plywood, as a percentage of net sales were 43.5% in 2023.

A significant portion of our sales are concentrated with two customers. Our sales to The Home Depot and Lowes comprised 17% and 12%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2023, 15% and 11%, respectively, in 2022, and 16% and 10%, respectively, in 2021.

We may be impacted by vertical integration strategies. In certain markets and product lines, our customers or vendors could pursue vertical integration strategies that could have an adverse effect on our sales. We strive to add value and be a low-cost producer while maintaining competitive pricing in each of our markets to mitigate this risk.

We may be impacted by industry capacity of products we supply. From time to time, we may experience excess capacity among suppliers of certain products in some of the markets we serve. Our selling prices and profitability are impacted during periods of shortages or excess industry capacity relative to market demand. We may also experience limited capacity among suppliers of certain products as a result of supply chain challenges, which may impact our profitability and ability to meet sales objectives.

Our growth may be limited by our ability to make successful acquisitions. A key component of our growth strategy is to complete business combinations. Business combinations involve inherent risks, including assimilation and successfully managing growth. While we conduct extensive due diligence and have taken steps to ensure successful assimilation, factors beyond our control could influence the relative success of these acquisitions.

8

We may be adversely affected by the impact of environmental and safety regulations. We are subject to the requirements of federal, state, and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that we are at all times in complete compliance with all of these requirements. We have made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental regulations. If additional laws and regulations are enacted, which restrict our ability to manufacture and market our products, including our treated lumber products, it could adversely affect our sales and profits. Changes in the interpretation of existing laws could also adversely impact our financial results.

Seasonality and weather conditions, including those arising from climate change, could adversely affect us. Some aspects of our business are seasonal in nature and results of operations vary from quarter to quarter. In addition, the majority of our products sold to the Retail and Construction markets are used or installed in outdoor construction applications; therefore, short-term sales volume, productivity and gross profits can be negatively affected by adverse weather conditions, particularly in our first and fourth quarters. To the extent changes in the world’s climate have a greater impact on adverse weather conditions, we would expect more variability in our business operations and results. Climate change, which could result in more and more severe and adverse weather events, would likely create greater volatility in our financial results. In addition, it is possible that new legislation or regulation enacted to address the impact of climate change could increase costs for us and our suppliers, including costs associated with raw materials, energy, production, transportation, environmental monitoring and reporting, and capital expenditures.

Inbound and outbound transportation costs represent a significant part of our cost structure. An increase in fuel and other operating expenses will significantly increase our costs. While we attempt to pass these costs along to our customers, there can be no assurance that they would agree to these price increases. Our total inbound and outbound transportation costs were approximately 9.4%, 7.4%, and 7.3% of net sales in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

New alternatives may be developed to replace traditional treated wood products. The manufacturers of wood preservatives continue to develop new preservatives. While we believe treated products are reasonably priced relative to alternative products such as composites or vinyl, new alternatives may impact the sales of treated wood products. In addition, new preservatives could increase our cost of treating products in the future.

Cybersecurity breaches or a failure in our e-commerce operations could disrupt our business. We rely upon information technology systems and network products and the secure operation of these systems and products. Despite security measures, these systems and products may be vulnerable to physical damage, hackers, computer viruses, or breaches due to errors or malfeasance by employees, vendors, or customers. We have experienced such events in the past and, although past events were immaterial, future events may occur and may be material. Additionally, consumers are increasingly shopping online and through mobile commerce applications. As a result, we are vulnerable to additional risks and uncertainties associated with e-commerce sales, including rapid changes in technology, website downtime and other technical failures, security breaches, cyber-attacks, consumer privacy concerns, changes in state tax regimes and government regulation of internet activities. Our failure to successfully respond to these risks and uncertainties could reduce our e-commerce sales and increase our costs, which could negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, there is no guarantee that we will be able to expand our e-commerce business. Our competitors may have e-commerce businesses that are substantially larger and more developed than ours, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

We may be impacted by new tariffs and duties on U.S. imports and foreign export sales. Instability of established free trade agreements may lead to raw material and finished goods price volatility. An increase in foreign tariffs on U.S. goods could curtail our export sales to other countries which was approximately $246.3 million in 2023. Increased tariffs and duties on U.S. imports will increase pricing by adding duty cost, where the duty is sustainable in light of overall unit price, or otherwise constrain supply by eliminating historical production sources by country or commodity type with unsustainable duties. Our purchases that are impacted by tariffs were approximately $391.2 million in 2023, including UFP’s U.S. import of Canadian Softwood Lumber of approximately $223.8 million, which is the largest imported commodity. In addition, there is a risk that U.S. tariffs on imports and countering tariffs on U.S. exports could trigger broader international trade conflicts that could adversely impact our business.

Our financial results could be negatively impacted by costs associated with product liability, casualty, manufacturing and construction defects, and other claims. From time to time, we are exposed to claims relating to product liability, casualty events, manufacturing and construction defects, and similar claims, including as the result of the conduct of our employees and subcontractors. These claims could have a negative impact on our results of operation and financial condition, including through increased litigation costs, insurance-related costs, and damage to our reputation and customer relationships.

We may be adversely affected by the impact of pandemics and similar outbreaks. Disease outbreaks, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results. These outbreaks may adversely impact our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Any such outbreak, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and businesses to limit the spread of any outbreak, may result in adverse changes in customer demand and our sales, interfere with the ability of our employees and suppliers to perform and function in a manner consistent with targeted objectives and otherwise adversely impact the efficiency of our operations. This may cause us to materially curtail certain segments and could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and cash flow.

Adverse economic conditions and our customers’ ability to operate may impact their ability to pay. This may result in higher write-offs of receivables than we normally experience. We continue to monitor our customers’ business activities, payment patterns, and credit profiles carefully and make changes in our terms when necessary in response to this risk. As a result, our accounts receivable aging as of December 30, 2023 was approximately 91% current. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales was 0.03%, 0.15%, and 0.01%, in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. During the most difficult collection period of the Great Recession, from 2008 through 2010, our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales averaged 0.25%.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Risk Management and Strategy.

Risks from Cybersecurity Threats. Information relating to risks from cybersecurity threats is included in this report in Item 1A under the caption “Cybersecurity breaches or a failure in our e-commerce operations and could disrupt our business.”

We manage and oversee a cybersecurity risk program designed to evaluate potential threats, vulnerabilities, and the potential impact on our operations, data, and stakeholders. This program undergoes regular reviews and updates to address emerging risks. Our process for addressing risk aligns with industry standards as outlined in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST Risk Management Framework, and CIS Top 18 Security Controls.

We utilize a three-step process to effectively manage cybersecurity risks:

Identify We establish an understanding of our critical operational assets and those that could be attractive to potential threat actors. We consider any cyber activity that could diminish an asset’s value, hinder our ability to use or access the asset, or covertly allow a threat actor to gain access to an asset as a potential risk.

Assess We evaluate the exposure of our assets to identified cyber risks and the potential impacts on our operations or reputation if we were unable to access or utilize an asset or realize its value, or if a threat actor gained access to an asset or its value. We also assess the potential materiality of these risks based on their potential impact on our operations or reputation.

10

Manage We apply a multi-layered defense strategy to maintain our ability to access or utilize an asset or its value and prevent threat actors from gaining or increasing their access to an asset or its value. We prioritize our defensive mechanisms, including administrative, procedural, and technical controls, based on their cost-effectiveness and their ability to reduce risk.

Periodically, we engage consultants and other third parties to assist in the continued improvement of our cybersecurity program. These engagements are designed to enhance our cybersecurity posture, and we work closely with these experts to help us identify and address vulnerabilities. Examples of these engagements include penetration testing, risk assessments, and cybersecurity control audits.

We maintain policies and procedures to oversee and identify cybersecurity risks associated with our third-party service providers, especially those with access to customer and employee data. Our selection and oversight of these providers incorporate cybersecurity considerations, including contractual and other mechanisms to mitigate and continually monitor risks.

We undertake proactive activities to prevent, detect, and minimize the impact of cybersecurity incidents. We maintain an incident response plan to respond to breaches and minimize disruption to our operations swiftly. The incident response process is consistently tested and reviewed through simulated incidents. To bolster the incident response process, we have business continuity, contingency, and recovery plans to ensure operational resilience during a cybersecurity incident. Previous cybersecurity incidents guide continuous improvements in our governance, policies, procedures, and technology. We use these lessons to strengthen our cybersecurity defenses.

Cybersecurity threats and risks, to include any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected, or are not reasonably likely to materially affect, our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We have not, as of the date of this filing, experienced a cybersecurity breach that has materially affected our business or financial condition. However, because our business involves the collection, transmission, and storage of certain customer and employee data, it is possible that we could be susceptible to various cybersecurity threats, including cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and similar events.

We are committed to the ongoing identification and management of cybersecurity risks as part of our business strategy, financial planning, and capital allocation. We strive to incorporate cybersecurity considerations into all aspects of our operations. As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, so does our strategy to identify and mitigate these risks. We continuously work towards enhancing our processes to ensure an effective cybersecurity posture.

Board of Directors and Management Governance.

Board of Directors Oversight. We recognize the critical importance of cybersecurity and data protection and understand the potential harm to our business from cybersecurity incidents. Accordingly, we place a high priority on mitigating risks associated with cybersecurity threats and any cybersecurity incidents.

Company management maintains primary responsibility for the risk management of the Company, including cybersecurity risks. The Board’s Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of risks associated with cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Committee is responsible for reviewing management’s assessment of the Company’s information technology process framework and practices and the controls implemented to monitor and mitigate information technology risks. In addition, as part of the Audit Committee’s quarterly meetings and as provided for in its Charter, the Committee receives reports and briefings from the Company’s Chief Information Officer (CIO), Director of Cybersecurity, and management’s cybersecurity team. Those reports and briefings include management’s review of emerging cybersecurity developments and threats, the Company’s risk relating to cybersecurity, and the Company’s strategy to mitigate data protection and cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and input from external cybersecurity resources to assist in its oversight functions.

Management’s Role. Our management team is actively engaged in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. We have established a robust framework for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating these risks.

11

Responsibility for Cybersecurity Risks. Our CIO has developed expertise in cybersecurity, compliance, enterprise architecture and design, data analytics, digital transformation, and customer service through years of experience in the information technology space. Our Director of Cybersecurity is designated as the senior executive responsible for cybersecurity and reports directly to our CIO. He has a comprehensive information technology background with 30 years of information technology experience, to include 10 years of systems architecture and design, 12 years of management, and 14 years of service in managing, or assisting in managing, cybersecurity related risks.

To support the CIO and Director of Cybersecurity in managing cybersecurity risks, we established a cross-functional cybersecurity team that includes experts in various aspects of information security. Combined, this team of employees includes individuals with over 85 years of prior work experience in cybersecurity and data protection. These individuals are responsible for the day-to-day implementation of our cybersecurity program.

Additionally, the cybersecurity management team regularly consults with additional resources, to include attorneys, accountants, human resources personnel, and other information technology specialists, to determine materiality for cybersecurity related risks and incidents. There is an established Incident Response Plan that clearly identifies escalation measures based on the impact to our organization.

Processes for Monitoring and Mitigating Risks and Incidents. We employ a comprehensive set of processes to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. These processes include:

Continuous monitoring of network traffic and systems for signs of potential threats.
Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address weaknesses.
Implementation of cybersecurity measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption.
Employee training and awareness programs to educate staff about cybersecurity best practices.
Incident response plans to ensure swift and effective responses to cybersecurity incidents.
Software and Vendor Risk Assessments.
Vulnerability management solution to prioritize patches based on risk.
Privileged account management solutions for administrative access.

These processes are designed to prevent cybersecurity incidents, but also allows our organization to quickly detect and respond to incidents if they do occur. They are regularly reviewed and updated to adapt to evolving cybersecurity threats.

If any incidents occur, we have a comprehensive Incident Response Plan in place. The Plan includes materiality qualifiers based on the size and scope of the incident. Furthermore, there is an escalation matrix that identifies who is directly involved with managing the incident based on the severity. An Incident Report is compiled for all incidents, regardless of materiality. Management reviews the incident reports and ensures all incidents are mitigated and remediated effectively. These reports are shared with the CIO, CFO, and Audit Committee so they can effectively manage resources to reduce risk and prevent future incidents.

Reporting to the Board. As noted above, our CIO, Director of Cybersecurity, and cybersecurity team provide quarterly updates and reports to our Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks as well as a review of the processes described above. Our management personnel are also required to provide more frequent updates to the Audit Committee on major developments regarding cybersecurity matters. The Committee, in turn, provides regular updates to the Board on these matters.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference from the 2023 Annual Report under the caption "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not enter into any material interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

On December 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $241.4 million. The estimated fair value is based on rates anticipated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of notes payable included in current liabilities and the revolving credit facility approximated the carrying values as these debt instruments have interest rates that fluctuate with current market conditions.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to herein as “Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The controls evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon our most recent evaluation, we have concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act and based upon the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2023. Based on this assessment, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 30, 2023.

17

Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2023. Deloitte & Touche LLP's opinion, as stated in their report which appears on page 20 of this Form 10-K, is consistent with management's report on internal control over financial reporting as set forth above.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Exhibit 4(b)

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF

THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following is a brief description of the common stock of UFP Industries, Inc. (the “Company”). This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") and Amended Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), each of which are filed as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4(b) is a part.

Authorized Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 160,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 30, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

Subject to the prior rights of the holders of shares of preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding, if any, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive:

·

dividends when, as, and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends; and

·

in the event of dissolution of the Company, to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and satisfaction of the liquidation preferences, if any, of then outstanding shares of preferred stock, as provided in the Articles of Incorporation.

Voting Rights

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to a vote at a shareholders meeting, including the election of directors. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company’s Board of Directors be divided into three classes of nearly equal size, with the classes to hold office for staggered terms of three years each.

The vote required for the election of a director shall, except in a contested election, be the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in the election of a nominee. For this purpose, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast either “for” or “against” a director’s election. In a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting of shareholders.


An election is considered contested if there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board of Directors to be filled by election at that meeting.

Listing

The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ufpi.”

Applicable Anti-Takeover Provisions

The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could also have an anti-takeover effect. Some of the provisions also may make it difficult for shareholders to replace incumbent directors with new directors who may be willing to entertain changes that shareholders may believe will lead to improvements in the combined company’s business.

Other

All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any additional shares of common stock or other securities, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the Company’s common stock.

The transfer agent for the Company’s common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.

5


Loan Documents or the business relationship among, or any other transactions or dealings among, the Releasing Parties or any of them and the Released Parties or any of them relating to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
4.5This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​

Article 1
Establishment and Purpose
1.1History of the Plan

UFP Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) established the UFP Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 27, 1995. Prior to April 22, 2020, the Company was known as Universal Forest Products, Inc., and prior to this restatement, the Plan was named the Universal Forest Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. The Plan has periodically been amended, and was most recently amended and restated effective June 1, 2011.

1.2This Document

By this document, the Company is amending and restating the Plan effective as of January 1, 2020.

1.3Purpose

The Company desires to retain the services of a select group of executives who contribute to the profitability and success of the Company. The Company maintains the Plan to provide the executives who participate in the Plan with the opportunity to defer a portion of their Compensation and have additional retirement income.

1.4Status of Plan Under ERISA

The Plan is intended to be unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of ERISA. Accordingly, the Plan is not intended to be covered by Parts 2 through 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA. The existence of any Trust Fund is not intended to change this characterization of the Plan.

1.5Compliance with Section 409A

To the extent the Plan provides deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, the Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A. The Plan is intended to be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Participation

1 Subsection (w) added by 2021-1 Amendment, effective June 1, 2021.

Page 6 of 21


participation designated by the Administrative Committee, but only if the Employee signs a participation agreement agreeing to the terms of the Plan.

It is intended that participation be limited to Employees who will qualify as members of a “select group of management or other highly compensated employees” under Title I of ERISA. In general, the Employees who are eligible to participate are the officers, general managers of operations, operations managers, managing directors, regional sales managers, plant managers, Executive Account Managers, and past and present members of the President’s Club (as such group is now or hereafter named and constituted) of the Company as well as select corporate directors, purchasing managers and senior managers of the Company.

The Employee shall acknowledge in the participation agreement that he is an unsecured creditor of the Company with regard to any benefits under the Plan and waive any right to a priority claim with regard to the benefits. The Employee may also be required to complete other forms as a condition for participation.

3.2Termination of Active Participation

The Administrative Committee may remove an Employee from further active participation in the Plan at any time. If this occurs, the Employee shall not have any additional amounts credited to his Account under Section 4.2, but amounts shall continue to be credited to a Participant’s Account under Section 4.3 until Participant’s Account is distributed pursuant to Article 5.

Article 4
Amounts Credited to Accounts
4.1Participant Accounts

The Plan Administrator shall maintain an Account for each Participant to record the Participant’s benefits under the terms of the Plan. A Participant’s Account is for bookkeeping purposes only. The Company is not required to make contributions to the Trust Fund to fund the amounts credited to a Participant’s Account. A Participant’s Elective Deferrals shall be credited to his Account as soon as administratively feasible after the amounts otherwise would have been paid to the Participant.

4.2Elective Deferrals
(a)Form of Election. An active participant may elect to defer compensation as provided in this Section. Deferral elections may be made only in writing, on a form provided or approved by the Administrative Committee. No deferral election will be effective unless received by the Administrative Committee before the end of the applicable election period.  For the avoidance of doubt, any allowable election made “in writing” referenced in this Article 4, includes elections made electronically.  

Page 7 of 21


(b)Base Salary. Before the beginning of each calendar year, a Participant may make a written election to make Elective Deferrals equal to a specified dollar amount of the Participant’s Base Salary earned during that calendar year. If an Employee initially becomes a Participant during a calendar year, the Employee may make an election within 30 days after the Employee becomes a Participant to make Elective Deferrals from any Base Salary earned after the election is made. If a Participant does not make a new election for a calendar year, no amount shall be deferred from the Participant’s Base Salary for that calendar year. All Elective Deferrals of Base Salary shall be deducted in equal amounts from the Participant’s last paycheck of each month until the Participant has deferred the maximum annual amount described in subsection (d) below or the maximum annual amount elected by the Participant. Except as provided in subsection (e) or (f), a Participant’s election to make Elective Deferrals from Base Salary earned during a calendar year is irrevocable effective on the first date of the  calendar year.
(c)Bonus. No later than June 30 of each calendar year, a Participant may make a written election to make Elective Deferrals equal to a specified percentage or dollar amount of the Participant’s Bonus earned during that calendar year. If a Participant does not make a new election for a calendar year, no amount shall be deferred out of the Participant’s Bonus for that calendar year. Except as provided in subsection (e) or (f), a Participant’s election to make Elective Deferrals from Bonuses earned during a calendar year is irrevocable after June 30 of the calendar year.
(d)Limits on Elective Deferrals. A Participant may defer up to the following amounts otherwise payable to the Participant each calendar year:
(1)$15,000 of Base Salary; and
(2)50% of Bonuses not to exceed $100,000 for executive officers, $50,000 for other officers, $25,000 for general managers of operations, operations managers, managing directors, regional sales managers and corporate directors, and $10,000 for all other Participants.

The Plan Administrator may also periodically establish additional rules relating to a Participant’s Elective Deferrals (for example, a minimum amount permitted).

(e)Suspension After Hardship Withdrawal from Plan. Despite any other provision, if a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal as a result of an unforeseeable emergency pursuant to Section 5.6, any Base Salary or Bonus deferral election previously made by the Participant shall be cancelled, until the Participant makes a new deferral election pursuant to this Section 4.2.
(f)In-Service Distributions. A Participant may irrevocably elect to receive an in-service distribution of the portion of any Bonus the Participant deferred during a

Page 8 of 21


calendar year (but not Base Salary deferrals or investment earnings) if—
(1)The election is made by the deadline for making a Bonus deferral election for a calendar year;
(2)The election specifies a fixed payment date that is at least 12 months after the end of the calendar year during which the Bonus was deferred; and
(3)The Participant remains employed by the Company or a Related Employer until the elected payment date.

If the Participant does not remain employed by the Company or a Related Employer under the elected payment date, the Participant's right to the portion of the Bonus for which the Participant elected to receive an in-service distribution shall be forfeited and cancelled.  In the event the Participant is eligible to receive an in-service distribution pursuant to the terms of this subsection (f), the amount distributed will be the lesser of the amount of the Bonus the Participant elected to be paid as of the date it was deferred and the value of the Bonus on the date of distribution. To the extent a Participant’s Bonus deferral for a year is treated as invested in UFP Stock, the Participant’s Elective Deferrals from his or her Bonus will only be distributed in whole shares of UFP Stock, and any fractional shares shall not be distributed, but shall be retained in the Plan until the Participant’s Separation from Service. Except as provided in subsection (e), a Participant’s election to receive an in-service distribution pursuant to this subsection (f) is irrevocable effective after June 30 of the calendar year.

(g)Withholding of Payroll Taxes. Any payroll taxes the Company must withhold on a Participant’s Base Salary or Bonus deferrals (including any amount that must be withheld because of the discount on UFP Stock provided to Participants whose deferrals are treated as invested in UFP Stock for the year) will be withheld from the portion of the Participant’s Base Salary or Bonus that the Participant does not elect to defer before any amount is credited to the Participant’s Account.
4.3Hypothetical Investments
(a)A Participant may choose among different hypothetical investment funds made available by the Plan Administrator for purposes of determining hypothetical earnings, gains and losses credited to the Participant’s Account. The earnings, gains and losses for a Participant shall be determined as if the portion of the Participant’s Account which was deemed to be invested in the investment fund had actually been invested in the investment fund during the relevant time period. The Plan Administrator may add or remove hypothetical investment funds at any time. The Plan Administrator shall periodically establish administrative rules for a Participant to make and change his investment elections and rules regarding the crediting of Investment Results. Amounts

Page 9 of 21


shall be credited to a Participant’s Account under this Section until the Participant’s Account is completely distributed.
(b)The Company shall be under no obligation to make investments that correspond to the Participant’s investment elections, even though the Participant’s elections are used to determine the Participant’s Investment Results.
(c)If all or a portion of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a calendar year are deemed to be invested in UFP Stock, the number of shares of UFP Stock credited to the Participant’s Account shall be increased to reflect a fifteen percent (15%) discount to market, determined based on the closing market price of UFP Stock on the day the amount would have been paid to the Participant if he or she had not elected to defer it. The number of shares credited to the Participant’s Account as a result of any deferral of Base Salary or Bonus shall equal:

(x ÷ .85)

z

where x equals the amount the Participant defers and z equals the closing market price of UFP Stock on the day the amount would have been paid to the Participant if he had not elected to defer it. Elective Deferrals that are treated as being invested in UFP Stock shall continue to be treated as invested in UFP Stock until the Elective Deferrals are distributed to the Participant.

4.4Required Investments in UFP Stock
(a)A Participant’s Elective Deferrals from Base Salary for any calendar year will be deemed to be invested in UFP Stock unless:
(1)If the Participant has less than five Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 immediately preceding the first day of the calendar year, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of the preceding September 30 of at least one times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the second calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferrals are being made;
(2)If the Participant has at least five but less ten Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 immediately preceding the first day of the calendar year, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of the preceding September 30 of at least two times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the second calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferrals are being made; or

Page 10 of 21


(3)If the Participant has ten or more Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 immediately preceding the first day of the calendar year, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of the preceding September 30 of at least three times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the second calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferrals are being made.

For purposes of this subsection, if a Participant’s box 1 W-2 compensation for any calendar year is for work performed for less than a 12-month period, the Participant’s box 1 W-2 compensation for the calendar year shall be annualized by multiplying his box 1 W-2 compensation by 12 and dividing it by the number of full and partial months he worked during the year.

(b)If the applicable requirement detailed in subsection (a) above is met as of the December 31 of the preceding calendar year, the Participant may direct that his Elective Deferrals from Base Salary for the calendar year be credited with earnings or losses based on any investment option available under the Plan.
(c)A Participant’s Elective Deferrals from Bonuses for a calendar year will be deemed to be invested in UFP Stock unless:
(1)If the Participant has less than five Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 preceding the June 30 by which the election must be made, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of the preceding April 30 of at least one (1) times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferral from his Bonus is made.
(2)If the Participant has at least five but less than ten Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 preceding the June 30 by which the election must be made, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of the preceding April 30 of at least two (2) times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferral from his Bonus is made; or
(3)If the Participant has ten or more Years of Service with the Company as of the December 31 preceding the date by which the election must be made, the Participant owns UFP Stock with a market value as of preceding April 30 of at least three (3) times the Participant’s annualized box 1 W-2 compensation for the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the Elective Deferral from his Bonus is made.

Page 11 of 21


For purposes of this subsection, if a Participant’s box 1 W-2 compensation for any calendar year is for work performed for less than a 12-month period, the Participant’s box 1 W-2 compensation for the calendar year shall be annualized by multiplying his box 1 W-2 compensation by 12 and dividing it by the number of full and partial months he worked during the year.

(d)If the applicable requirement detailed in subsection (c) above is met as of the June 30 by which the Participant’s Bonus deferral election must be made, the Participant may direct that his Elective Deferrals from his Bonus for the calendar year be credited with earnings or losses based on any investment option available under the Plan.
(e)For example, if a Participant who has completed three Years of Service with the Company as of December 31, 2019 defers $10,000 of his Base Salary for 2020, his Elective Deferrals from his Base Salary will be invested in UFP Stock unless he owns UFP Stock with a market value as of September 30, 2019 equal to his 2018 compensation as reported in box 1 of his 2018 W-2 (assuming he worked for the Company for all of 2018). If the Participant elects to defer all or any portion of his 2020 Bonus that is payable in 2021, his Elective Deferrals from his Bonus will be invested in UFP Stock unless he owns UFP Stock with a market value as of April 30, 2020 equal to his 2019 compensation as reported in box 1 of his 2019 W-2 (assuming he worked for the Company for all of 2019).
4.5Vesting

Except as provided in Sections 4.6 and 5.3, all amounts credited to a Participant’s Account are always 100% vested.2

4.6Forfeiture

If a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company in connection with Substantial Cause, or if the Company determines that Substantial Cause exists with respect to a Participant at any time prior to payment of the Participant’s benefits from the Plan pursuant to Section 5.3, then the Participant’s Account balance under the Plan shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the amount of material harm or damages incurred by the Company as a result of the Substantial Cause, including but not limited to any costs related to investigation or prosecution of the Substantial Cause, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Committee, or (ii) the full balance of the Participant’s Account at the time of the Substantial Cause.3

2 Section 4.5 restated by 2021-1 Amendment, effective June 1, 2021.

3 Section 4.6 added by 2021-1 Amendment, effective June 1, 2021.

Article 5
Distribution of Benefits
5.1Distributable Events

A Participant shall have a Distributable Event for purposes of the Plan on the date the first of the following events occurs:

(a)The Participant has a Separation from Service;
(b)The Participant dies while employed by the Company;
(c)The Participant incurs a Total Disability while employed by the Company; or
(d)A Change in Control occurs.
5.2Amount of Benefits

A Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be equal to the amount credited to the Participant’s Account on a date determined by the Company that is no more than one month prior to the date the amount is distributed to the Participant.

5.3Time of Payment
(a)A Participant’s benefits from the Plan triggered by the occurrence of a Distributable Event shall be paid in a single lump sum payment due at the following time:
(1)If the Distributable Event is the Participant’s Separation from Service before age 55, benefits shall be paid on the first anniversary of the Separation from Service; and
(2)If the Distributable Event is the Participant’s death, Total Disability, Separation from Service after age 55, or Change in Control, benefits shall be paid 60 days after the Participant’s Distributable Event occurs.
(b)Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if the Participant is a Key Employee and the Distributable Event is the Participant’s Separation from Service, distribution shall be delayed until the six-month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, unless the Participant dies prior to the end of the six-month period.
(c)If, during the Participant’s employment with the Company or the twelve-month period following his Separation from Service, the Participant violates any confidentiality agreement, intellectual property agreement or non-competition agreement with the Company or any Related Employer in effect while the Participant is employed by the Company or a Related Employer or at the time of the Separation from Service, the

Page 13 of 21


Participant’s Account shall be reduced to reflect the value that is the lesser of:
(1)The actual Account value on the date of Separation from Service; or
(2)The value the Account would have been on the date of Separation from Service if it had been credited with an earnings rate of 0% from the time the Elective Deferrals were initially credited to the Account and no discount had been available for deemed investments in UFP Stock.
5.4Form of Payment

A Participant’s benefits from the Plan shall be distributed in cash, except all amounts treated as invested in UFP Stock shall be distributed in the form of certificates for whole shares of UFP Stock and any fractional shares shall be withheld to cover taxes. In addition, no fractional shares shall be paid pursuant to any in-service distribution election made under Section 4.2(f).

5.5Beneficiary Designations

“Beneficiary” means the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant to receive benefits from the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary shall be designated on a form provided by the Plan Administrator, and the Participant may change the Beneficiary designation at any time by signing and delivering a new form to the Plan Administrator.  A beneficiary designation will become effective upon receipt by the Plan Administrator, but only if received before the Participant’s death.    

A trust may be designated as a Beneficiary.  If this occurs, the Plan Administrator will determine the rights of any trustee designated as a Beneficiary without responsibility for determining the validity, existence or provisions of that trust, and will have no responsibility for the use of amounts paid to that trustee or for the discharge of the trust.

If a Participant designates the Participant’s Spouse as Beneficiary and the Participant and Spouse are subsequently divorced, the judgment of divorce will be considered to revoke the prior Beneficiary designation of the Spouse.

The rules of this paragraph apply unless provided otherwise in a Participant’s Beneficiary designation form.  If a Participant designates one primary Beneficiary and the Beneficiary dies after the Participant but before benefit payments are completed, any remaining benefits will be payable to the secondary Beneficiary.  If a Participant fails to designate a secondary Beneficiary, or if no secondary Beneficiary survives the primary Beneficiary, any remaining benefits will be payable to the deceased primary Beneficiary’s heirs in the manner described in the next paragraph.  If a Participant designates more than one primary Beneficiary or more than one secondary Beneficiary and a Beneficiary dies before benefit payments are made, the share payable to the deceased Beneficiary will be paid to the deceased Beneficiary’s heirs in the manner described in the next paragraph as if the Beneficiary was the Participant.

Page 14 of 21


If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary survives a Participant, distribution will be made in equal shares to the members of the first of the classes listed below having a living member on the date the distribution is payable.  The classes, in order of priority, are as follows:

(1)The Participant’s Spouse;
(2)The Participant’s children (natural, legally adopted or children placed for adoption) or their then-living issue, by right of representation; and
(3)The Participant’s estate, if the estate is under active administration.  If the Participant’s estate is not under active administration, the legal heirs of the Participant under the intestacy laws of the Participant’s state of residence on the date of the Participant’s death.

A Beneficiary is permitted to disclaim the Beneficiary’s rights to a death benefit under the Plan to the extent permitted by applicable law.  If this occurs, the Beneficiary will be treated as predeceasing the Participant for purposes of this Section.

The records of the Plan Administrator will be conclusive as to the proper payee and the amount payable. A distribution made based upon these facts will be treated as a complete discharge of all obligations under the Plan.4

5.6Unforeseeable Emergency

If a Participant incurs an unforeseeable emergency within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(3)(i), the Committee may pay the Participant some or all of the remaining balance of the Award in a lump sum in lieu of following the payment timing set forth in Section 5.3. The Committee will evaluate requests for payment due to unforeseeable emergency under the facts and circumstances of the situation. The amount of any payment made on account of an unforeseeable emergency shall not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the financial hardship, including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the payment, as determined by the Committee. No early payment will be made to extent that the financial hardship can be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets without such liquidation itself causing a severe financial hardship.

5.7Tax Withholding

Any applicable federal, state, or local taxes shall be withheld from the benefits paid to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary to the extent required by law or elected by the Participant or Beneficiary.

4 Section 5.5 restated by 2023-1 Amendment, effective January 1, 2024.

Page 15 of 21


5.8Prohibition on Assignment and Alienation
(a)The deferred compensation payments under the Plan are not subject to assignment or alienation in any manner, and are to be exempt, to the maximum extent permitted by law, from the claims of creditors. As used in this section, the words “assignment” and “alienation” include any sale, transfer, or other disposition; any anticipation, pledge, security agreement, or other method of securing payment or performance of an obligation; any garnishment, execution, attachment, levy, or other method of satisfying a creditor’s claims.
(b)The prohibition on assignment and alienation does not apply to qualified medical child support orders within the meaning of ERISA §609(a)(2)(A).
(c)The prohibition on assignment and alienation does not apply to claims of the Company or any Affiliate. When any amount becomes payable under the Plan, the Company may offset the amount otherwise payable by the amount of any outstanding debt, liability, or other obligation of the payee to the Company or any affiliate.
(d)The prohibition on assignment and alienation does not apply to tax withholding. No benefit or interest under the Plan is subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.
Article 6
Funding
6.1No Trust or Other Fiduciary Relationship

The Plan does not create any trust or other fiduciary relationship of any kind with respect to the deferred compensation or any asset of the Company. The Company has complete legal and beneficial ownership of all assets attributable to deferred compensation. The right to deferred compensation under the Plan is merely an unsecured promise of the Company to pay the deferred compensation from the Company’s general assets. The Plan does not require the Company or the Committee to establish any fund or segregate any assets for the benefit of any Participant.

6.2Establishment of Trust Fund

The Company may enter into a trust agreement with an unrelated financial institution, as Trustee, to establish a Trust Fund to accumulate reserve of assets for the payment of benefits under the Plan, but Participants will have no interest in any such reserve (or any other assets of the Company) other than their interests as creditors with unsecured claims for payment of deferred compensation according to the terms of the Plan. If a Trust Fund is established, the Company may, but is not required to, make contributions to the Trust Fund. However, if a Change in Control

Page 16 of 21


occurs, the Company shall establish a Trust Fund and shall contribute to the Trust Fund an amount, if any, necessary so that the assets of the Trust Fund are sufficient to pay all amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts.

Article 7
Administration
7.1Plan Administrator

The Company shall have the sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan and is designated as named fiduciary and Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have the power and duties which are described in this Article. The Administrative Committee shall carry out the functions of the Plan Administrator with respect to the day-to-day operations of the Plan. If a member of the Administrative Committee is a Participant, the member shall abstain from voting on any matter relating to the member’s benefits under the Plan.

The Administrative Committee may adopt such policies and procedures as it deems necessary, desirable, or appropriate. All policies, procedures, and decisions of the Administrative Committee will be uniformly applied to all Participants in similar circumstances. When making a determination or calculation, the Administrative Committee will be entitled to rely upon information furnished by a Participant, Beneficiary, or alternate payee, the Company, or the Company’s legal counsel.

7.2Powers of Plan Administrator

The Plan Administrator has discretionary authority over the administration of the Plan, including the discretionary authority to—

(a)establish rules, procedures and forms for the administration of the Plan;
(b)determine all claims for benefits and review all adverse determinations;
(c)interpret and construe the Plan;
(d)correct errors in the administration of the Plan, including the power to adjust payments;
(e)employ attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors to give advice regarding the operation and administration of the Plan; and
(f)delegate administrative duties to other persons.

The Plan Adminstrator’s exercise of discretion under the Plan is absolute, need not be uniform among Participants, and may vary from one Participant to another.

Page 17 of 21


7.3Maintenance of Records

The Committee shall maintain records as necessary or appropriate to comply with the recordkeeping, reporting, and disclosure requirements of ERISA. The Committee shall also maintain records as necessary or appropriate to satisfy the recordkeeping requirements of the Code, including records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements Code §409A.

7.4Appeal Procedure

Any Participant whose application for benefits under the Plan has been denied, in whole or in part, shall be given written notice of the denial of benefits by the Plan Administrator. The notice shall be in easily understood language and shall indicate the reasons for denial and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based. The notice shall explain that the Participant may request a review of the denial and the procedure for requesting review. The notice shall describe any additional information necessary to approve the Participant’s claim and explain why such information is necessary.

A Participant may make a written request to the Plan Administrator for a review of any denial of benefits under the Plan. The request for review must be in writing and must be made within 60 days after the mailing date of the notice of denial. The request shall refer to the provisions of the Plan on which it is based and shall set forth the facts relied upon as justifying a reversal or modification of the determination being appealed.

A Participant who requests a review of a denial of benefits in accordance with this appeal procedure may examine pertinent documents and submit pertinent issues and comments in writing. A Participant may have a duly authorized representative act on his behalf in exercising his right to request a review and any other rights granted by this appeal procedure. The Plan Administrator shall provide a review of the decision denying the claim for benefit within 60 days after receiving the written request for review (or 45 days, if the claim involves a determination of Disability).

A Participant shall not be permitted to commence any legal action against the Company regarding benefits under the Plan before exhausting the appeal procedure contained in this Section.

7.5Indemnification of Administrative Committee

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Administrative Committee and their duly appointed agents against any and all claims, loss, damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act with respect to the Plan, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by any such member or agent of the Administrative Committee.

Page 18 of 21


Article 8
Miscellaneous
8.1No Employment Rights

The Plan does not create any right to employment or restrict the Company’s right to terminate any Employee’s employment.

8.2Amendment

The Company may amend the Plan at any time, in the Company’s discretion, with or without advance notice to Employees, Participants or Beneficiaries, but no amendment will be effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the Chairman of the Board, by the Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Secretary or by any other person specifically authorized by the Board or the bylaws of the Company. However, no amendment shall reduce the amount credited to a Participant’s Account without the written consent of the affected Participant.

8.3Termination

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time, in the Company’s discretion, with or without advance notice to Employees, Participants or Beneficiaries. If the Plan is terminated, no additional amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s Account under Section 4.2, but the Participant’s Account shall be adjusted for the results of hypothetical investments under Section 4.3 until the Participant’s benefits are distributed to the Participant.

The Participant shall be entitled to receive the amounts credited to his Account upon satisfying the requirements for payment of benefits under the Plan. However, the Company may pay the Participant the amount credited to the Participant’s Account at any time after the Plan is terminated if the payment is permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

8.4Severability
(a)The Plan will be administered so as to comply with Code §409A. If any provision of the Plan conflicts with any requirement of Code §409A, the requirement of Code §409A will control. For example, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a change in control event does not occur unless the event qualifies as a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in the effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets under Code §409A.
(b)If a court determines that any provision of the Plan is unenforceable, the court may modify the provision, if possible, so as to give effect to the Plan in a way that is consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the requirements of governing law. If such a modification is not possible, the court may sever the unenforceable provision and enforce the rest of the Plan in a way that is consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the

Page 19 of 21


requirements of governing law.
(c)The Company or the Plan Administrator may apply any permissive provision of any applicable law or regulation unless the provision is contrary to the terms of the Plan.
8.5Construction

Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable. Wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.

8.6Governing Law

The Plan is governed by the law of the State of Michigan, even if principles of Michigan law regarding conflict of laws or choice of law would otherwise require or permit a court to apply the law of another jurisdiction, except to the extent that Michigan law is preempted by the laws of the United States of America (including any common law developed by federal courts under the applicable laws of the United States).

EXECUTIVE STOCK GRANT PROGRAM
_________________________

Article 1

Establishment and Purpose
1.1History of the Program

The Company established this Executive Stock Grant Program (the "Program") under Article 10 of the Company’s Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Plan").  The Program became effective on January 1, 2009, was amended from time to time thereafter, was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2020, and is further amended and restated as of January 1, 2023.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Program shall be administered in accordance and subject to the terms of the Plan, and the Shares subject to Awards under this Program shall be granted under the Plan.  

1.2Status of Program Under ERISA

The Program is intended to be "unfunded," terminable by the Company, and maintained "primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees" for purposes of ERISA.  Accordingly, the Program is not intended to be covered by Parts 2 through 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.  

1.3Compliance with Section 409A

To the extent the Program provides deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, the Program is intended to comply with Section 409A.  The Program is intended to be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Article 2

Definitions

The following terms shall have the meanings described in this Article unless the context clearly indicates another meaning.  All other defined terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Program.

2.1Accounts

"Accounts" means the bookkeeping records of the Participants’ benefits under the terms of the Program.  

2.2Administrator

"Administrator" means the fiduciary responsible for the operation and administration of the Program as provided in Article 7.  The Company shall be the Administrator.  


2.3Beneficiary

“Beneficiary” means the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant to receive benefits from the Program in the event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary shall be designated on a form provided by the Administrator, and the Participant may change the Beneficiary designation at any time by signing and delivering a new form to the Administrator.  A beneficiary designation will become effective upon receipt by the Administrator, but only if received before the Participant’s death.

A trust may be designated as a Beneficiary.  If this occurs, the Administrator will determine the rights of any trustee designated as a Beneficiary without responsibility for determining the validity, existence or provisions of that trust, and will have no responsibility for the use of amounts paid to that trustee or for the discharge of the trust.

If a Participant designates the Participant’s spouse as Beneficiary and the Participant and spouse are subsequently divorced, the judgment of divorce will be considered to revoke the prior Beneficiary designation of the spouse.

The rules of this Section 2.3 apply unless provided otherwise in a Participant’s Beneficiary designation form.  If a Participant designates one primary Beneficiary and the Beneficiary dies after the Participant but before benefit payments are completed, any remaining benefits will be payable to the secondary Beneficiary.  If a Participant fails to designate a secondary Beneficiary, or if no secondary Beneficiary survives the primary Beneficiary, any remaining benefits will be payable to the deceased primary Beneficiary’s heirs in the manner described below.  If a Participant designates more than one primary Beneficiary or more than one secondary Beneficiary and a Beneficiary dies before benefit payments are made, the Shares payable to the deceased Beneficiary will be paid to the deceased Beneficiary’s heirs in the manner described below as if the Beneficiary was the Participant.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary survives a Participant, distribution will be made in equal shares to the members of the first of the classes listed below having a living member on the date the distribution is payable.  The classes, in order of priority, are as follows:

(1)The Participant’s spouse;
(2)The Participant’s children (natural, legally adopted or children placed for adoption) or their then-living issue, by right of representation; and
(3)The Participant’s estate, if the estate is under active administration.  If the Participant’s estate is not under active administration, the legal heirs of the Participant under the intestacy laws of the Participant’s state of residence on the date of the Participant’s death.

2


A Beneficiary is permitted to disclaim the Beneficiary’s rights to a death benefit under the Program to the extent permitted by applicable law.  If this occurs, the Beneficiary will be treated as predeceasing the Participant for purposes of this Section.

The records of the Administrator will be conclusive as to the proper payee and the amount payable.  A distribution made based upon these facts will be treated as a complete discharge of all obligations under the Program.

2.4Change in Control

4.4Vesting and Forfeiture
(a)Vesting and Forfeiture.  Each Participant's Unvested Participant Shares credited to that Participant’s Account pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall vest and become Vested Participant Shares as provided in this Section 4.4.
(1)General Rule.  Unvested Participant Shares credited to a Participant's Account under Section 4.2 shall vest, in full, and become Vested Participant Shares separately on the fifth anniversary of the Credit Date, provided that the Participant remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on such applicable fifth anniversary.  A separate subaccount shall be maintained for each credit of Shares to a Participant.

8


Program. The Participant’s forfeiture shall not be reallocated to the Accounts of other Participants, but shall reduce the Company’s liability under the Program.
4.5Voting Rights with Respect to Participant Shares

Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to Participant Shares allocated to their Accounts unless and until such Participant Shares are distributed to such Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Program. Participants and Beneficiaries are not shareholders of the Company or any Subsidiary by virtue of the Participant Shares credited to their Accounts and have no equity ownership interest in the Company or any Subsidiary by virtue of this Program, unless and until such Participant Shares are distributed to such Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Program.

Article 5

Distribution of Benefits
5.1Hardship Withdrawals

A Participant who has an unforeseeable financial emergency may receive payment while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of all or part of the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account.  A Participant may only withdraw the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the financial emergency need, including taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.

For purposes of this Section 5.1, an unforeseeable financial emergency is a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from:  a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent of the Participant; loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, to the extent such event qualifies under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(3) or any successor provisions.  But the Participant will not be considered to have an unforeseeable emergency if the hardship is or may be relieved:

(a)Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; or
(b)By liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would itself not cause severe financial hardship.

The need to send a Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home are not unforeseeable emergencies for purposes of this Section 5.1.

The Administrator may periodically establish administrative rules regarding withdrawals under this Section 5.1.  Any hardship withdrawals made by a Participant shall reduce the number of Participant Shares credited to Participant's Account and correspondingly the amount distributable to the Participant under this Article 5.

9


5.2Forfeiture of Vested Benefits

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Participant shall forfeit all Participant Shares, including Vested Participant Shares and Unvested Participant Shares, credited to his or her Account if:

(a)The Participant has a voluntary or involuntary Separation from Service after the Participant commits Gross Misconduct.
(b)The Participant fails to comply with the duty of loyalty described in Section 5.3.

The amount of any forfeitures under this Section 5.2 shall reduce the Company’s liability under this Program and shall not be reallocated to the Accounts of other Participants.

5.3Duty of Loyalty

Each Participant has a duty of loyalty to the Company and its Subsidiaries.  While the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, this duty includes the following:

(a)The Participant shall use the Participant’s best efforts in performing any job duties assigned to the Participant.
(b)The Participant shall not have an ownership interest in any other entity if that ownership interest detracts from the Participant’s job duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, or is inconsistent with the best interests of the Company or a Subsidiary.
(c)The Participant shall not provide services to any other entity if those services detract from the Participant’s job duties for the Company or is in any way inconsistent with the best interests of the Company or a Subsidiary.
(d)The Participant shall not take advantage of any business opportunities for the Participant’s individual benefit if the business opportunity should have been provided to the Company or a Subsidiary.

If the Company notifies a Participant that the Participant is in violation of the duty of loyalty described in this Section 5.3, the Participant shall have ten days to cure any violation as required by the Company or forfeit all rights to subsequent benefits from the Program.  If the Participant cures a violation of the duty of loyalty, but then violates the duty of loyalty a second time, the Participant shall immediately forfeit all rights to subsequent benefits from the Program without being given the right to cure the violation.

The determination of whether a Participant has violated the duty of loyalty described in this Section 5.3 shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

10


5.4Payment Timing & Terms

All Vested Participant Shares credited to a Participant's Account shall be distributed to a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary, as applicable, in a single lump sum payable in the form of certificates for whole Shares of the Company (except for fractional Shares which shall be paid in cash or withheld to cover taxes) at the first of the following to occur:

(a)If a Distributable Event occurs as a result of the Participant’s Total Disability or Separation from Service, the Vested Participant Shares shall be paid not later than 90 days after the Distributable Event.  
(b)If the Participant has a Distributable Event because of a Change in Control, the Participant Shares shall be paid on the date of the Change in Control.
(c)If a Participant has a Distributable Event because of the Participant’s death, the Vested Participant Shares shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary on the date that is 90 days after the Participant’s death.

5.5Spendthrift Provision

No benefit or interest under the Program is subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, and are exempt, to the maximum extent permitted by law, from the claims of creditors. Any attempt by a Participant or Beneficiary to assign or alienate the benefits issued pursuant to the terms of this Program shall cause all of such benefits to be immediately forfeited and neither Participant nor Beneficiary shall be entitled to any payment or other economic benefit with respect to the forfeited Incentive Benefit or otherwise under the terms of the Program. As used in this section, the words assignment and alienation include any sale, transfer, or other disposition; any anticipation, pledge, security agreement, or other method of securing payment or performance of an obligation; any garnishment, execution, attachment, levy, or other method of satisfying creditors’ claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibition on assignment and alienation shall not restrict the Company or any Subsidiary’s obligation to engage in tax withholding.

Article 6

Funding
6.1Establishment of Trust Fund

The Company may enter into a Trust Agreement to establish a Trust Fund and shall contribute Shares to the Trust Fund as such Shares are granted to Participants.  Any Shares

11


forfeited by Participants may be retained in the Trust and used to reduce future contributions to be made by the Company.

6.2Status as Grantor Trust

The Trust Fund shall be a grantor trust.  The Trust Agreement shall provide that the assets of the Trust Fund are subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors if the Company becomes insolvent. In addition, neither this Program nor the establishment of a Trust Fund shall create any trust or other fiduciary relationship of any kind with respect to the deferred compensation or any asset of the Company. The Company has complete legal and beneficial ownership of all assets in the Trust Fund and Participant Accounts until distributed pursuant to the terms of this Program. The right to benefits under the Program is merely an unsecured promise of the Company to pay the deferred compensation from the Company’s general assets. The Program does not require the Company or the Committee to establish any fund or segregate any assets for the benefit of any Participant.

6.3Status of Participants as Unsecured Creditors

The obligation of the Company to pay benefits under the Plan shall be unsecured.  Each Participant is an unsecured creditor of the Company.  The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future.

The establishment of an Account for a Participant and the Company’s payment of contributions to the Trust Fund are not intended to create any security for payment of benefits under the Plan or change the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan.

For this purpose, the amounts of a Participating Director's Deferred Stock Fee are deemed earned on May 1 (February through April amounts), August 1 (May through July amounts), November 1 (August through October amounts), and the next February 1 (November through January amounts).
iii.Credits for Dividend Payments. The Company shall credit to the Deferral Account, on each day the Company declares a cash dividend to holders of the Stock, that number (to four decimal places) of units that is equal to the total number of units in the Participating Director's Deferral Account on the declaration date for such dividend, multiplied by the cash dividend per share of Stock dividend by the Market Price on the declaration date for such dividend.
iv.Adjustments. The number of units credited to a Deferral Account t shall be adjusted appropriately by the Company in the event of any change in the Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of shares and other like capital changes, but no adjustment shall be required by reason of any sales of shares of Stock by the Company at any price, whether below, at or above Market Price, and whether by or pursuant to warrant, option, right, conversion right or privilege or otherwise, and a Participating Director shall have

3


no rights as a holder of Stock unless and until a certificate for shares of Stock is issued by the Company.
9.PAYMENT OF DEFERRAL ACCOUNT VALUE.
(a)General. The Company shall, with respect to each Deferral Account for each Participating Director, cause to be delivered to such Participating Director (or any applicable alternate payee, as determined under the Plan or the applicable Election Agreement) as soon as practicable following the Payment Date, but in no event later than two and one-half (2.5) months following the last day of the Plan Year that includes applicable the Payment Date, the Payment Date value of such Deferral Account, in the form of shares of Stock, so that for each single unit credited to the Deferral Account the Participating Director shall be entitled to payment in the form of a single share of Company Stock, pursuant to the express terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Election Agreement. The Company may fulfill any obligation to pay shares of Stock pursuant to the terms of this Plan by newly-issued shares or shares purchased by the Company and reissued.
(b)Disability. If a Payment Date occurs by reason of a determination by the Company that the Participating Director has become totally and permanently disabled (as defined in Code Section 409A), and if the disability is due to mental incapacity, the shares of Stock deliverable under the Plan and the applicable Election Agreement shall be issued in the name of and delivered to the Participating Director's legally appointed personal representative. If no such representative has been appointed, then delivery date shall be in the name of and to the Participating Director's spouse, or if the Participating Director is then unmarried, such shares of stock or dollar amount shall be held until the persons who would be entitled thereto, if the Participating Director were then to die intestate, make proper claim of the Company for such shares of stock or dollar amount.
(c)Death. If a Payment Date occurs because the Participating Director died, the shares of Stock required to be delivered under the Plan and the applicable Election Agreement shall be issued not later than two (2) months following the end of the Plan Year in which the Participating Director died, in the name and delivered to the Participating Director's beneficiary (or beneficiaries) as designated in the applicable Election Agreement, or, if none are so designated, in the name of and to the legally appointed personal representative of the Participating Director's estate. If no legal proceedings for such appointment have been instituted within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of notice of the Participating Director's death, such delivery shall be in accordance with the last sentence of Paragraph 7(b) above.
10.ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, each of whom qualifies as an "independent" director under the applicable rules of the NASDAQ stock market (the "Plan Administrator"), who shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and to adopt procedures for implementing the Plan.
11.OTHER BENEFITS. Except to the extent specifically provided in the Company's Retirement Plan for Directors, or any other plan or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Company, the Plan benefits to Eligible Directors (other than Retainer Fees) shall not be deemed to be compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under such Retirement Plan for Directors or other plan or arrangement.
12.STATUS OF DEFERRAL ACCOUNT. The Company shall have full and unrestricted use of all property or amounts payable pursuant to the Plan, and title to and beneficial ownership of any assets which the Company may earmark to pay the amounts hereunder shall at all times remain in the Company and no Eligible Director shall have any property interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the Company. The Deferral Account is a nominal account for bookkeeping purposes, and is not intended to be a trust account or escrow account for the benefit of a Participating Director or any other person, or an asset segregation for the benefit of a Participating Director or any other person. All Stock or cash held in a trust shall be held on a commingled basis and shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company.

4


All Stock held in any such trust shall be voted by the trustee of the trust in its discretion. The sole right of a Participating Director, or a Participating Director's heirs or personal representatives, is a right as an unsecured general creditor of the Company to claim any shares of Stock or dollar amount to which the Participating Director becomes entitled, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Participating Director's Election Agreement and the Plan. The Company shall provide each Participating Director with an annual report of his or her Deferral Account balance. Such reporting shall be made each January.
13.AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, terminate the Plan or make such amendments as it deems advisable; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment shall adversely affect or impair the contract rights of a Participating Director with respect to an effective Election Agreement, unless such Participating Director shall consent in writing to such termination or amendment; and, provided further, that no such amendment, without the approval of the Company's shareholders, may materially increase the benefits accruing to Eligible Directors under the Plan, increase the number of shares of Stock distributed under the Plan, or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility under the Plan.
14.STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. The maximum number of shares of Stock that shall be reserved for issuance under the Plan as part of either a Deferred Fee or a Non-Deferred Fee shall be 150,000 shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in the capitalization of the Company as provided in Paragraph 8(b) of the Plan.
15.Regulatory Restrictions. All certificates for shares of Company Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Company, any stock exchange or stock market upon which the Company Stock is then listed or traded and any applicable Federal, state, or foreign securities law, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
16.NON-PLAN DEFERRAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Company does not intend that this Plan replace or supersede any presently existing compensation or deferral arrangement or preclude the Company from implementing additional compensation or deferral arrangements.
17.FUTURE DIRECTOR TERMS. Nothing in this Plan or in any Election Agreement shall obligate a director to continue as such, or to accept any nomination for a future term as a director of the Company, or require the Company to nominate or cause the nomination of the director for a future term as a director of the Company.
18.NO ALIENATION. No shares of Stock or dollar amount deliverable under the Plan or under an Election Agreement shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrances, or charge, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
19.WITHHOLDING. The Company is entitled to withhold and deduct from any amounts due from the Company to a Participating Director, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding and employment-related taxes arising directly or indirectly in connection with the Plan or any Election Agreement, and the Company may require the Participating Director to remit promptly to the Company the amount of such taxes before taking any future actions with respect to the Participating Director's Deferral Account or Election Agreement.
20.CODE SECTION 409A. It is intended that the payments and provided under this Plan shall either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Plan shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent. Neither any Participating Director nor the Company shall intentionally take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any amounts in any manner which would not be in compliance with Cod Section 409A without the consent of the other party. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the payments provided under this Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor their respective directors, officers,

5


employees, or advisers (other than the Participating Director, as applicable) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties, or other monetary amounts owed by any Participating Director or any other taxpayer as a result of this Plan. The Plan may be amended as reasonably necessary or desirable to legally minimize any adverse tax consequences to Participating Directors and/or the Company, and to preserve, to the fullest extent permissible, the economic provisions set forth in the Plan.

Participants may hold more than one Award, but only on the terms and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and their respective Award Agreements. No participant may receive Awards under the Plan covering more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Plan Shares.

ARTICLE 6

STOCK OPTIONS

6.1Options. Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.
6.2Grants. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Participant one or more Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or both types of Options. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.
6.3Incentive Stock Options. No term of this Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the Participants affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422. The aggregate Fair Market Value, determined on the Award Date of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which one or more Incentive Stock Options (or other incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, under all other option plans of the Company) that are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed the $100,000 limitation imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code.
6.4Terms of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Each Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)Participant's Agreement. Each Participant shall agree to remain in the continuous employ of the Company for a period of at least twelve (12) months from the Award Date or until Retirement, if Retirement occurs prior to twelve (12) months from the date of the Option. Such Agreement shall not impose upon the Company any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ for any period.
(b)Option Price. The Option Price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Award Date, provided that the Option Price per share of Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Insider shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Award Date.
(c)Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Option which is designated as an ISO shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the ISO is granted, provided that the term of any Incentive Stock Option granted to an Insider shall not exceed five (5) years.
(d)Exercisability. Except as provided in Section 13.2, no Option shall be exercisable either in whole or in part prior to the first anniversary of the Award Date.

5


Thereafter, an Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions (including but not limited to vesting provisions) as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Committee provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine.
(e)Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (d) above, Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price in such form as the Committee may accept. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option shall not be exercisable with respect to less than 100 shares of Common Stock unless the remaining shares covered by an Option are fewer than 100 shares. If and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at or after grant, payment in full or in part may also be made in the form of Common Stock owned by the Participant (and for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and with respect to any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Option, has been held by the Optionee for a period of at least six (6) consecutive months) or Restricted Stock, or by reduction in the number of shares issuable upon such exercise based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last trading date preceding payment as determined by the Committee (without regard to any forfeiture restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock). No shares of stock shall be issued until payment has been made. A Participant shall generally have the rights to dividends or other rights of a shareholder with respect to shares subject to the Option when the person exercising such option has given written notice of exercise, has paid for such shares as provided herein, and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 14.1 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment in full or in part has been made in the form of Restricted Stock, an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions, and during the remainder of the Restriction Period [as defined in Section 8.3(a)], applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock surrendered therefore.
(f)Transferability of Options. No Option may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, the Committee may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of a Nonqualified Stock Option to be granted to an optionee to be on terms which permit transfer by such optionee to a Permitted Transferee, provided that (i) there may be no consideration for any such transfer (other than the receipt of or interest in a family partnership or limited liability company), (ii) the stock option agreement pursuant to which such options are granted must be approved by the Committee, and must expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this Section 6.4(f), and (iii) subsequent transfers of transferred options shall be prohibited except those in accordance with Section 6.4(i). Following transfer, any such options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer.

6


The events of termination of service of Sections 6.4(g), (h) and (i) hereof, and the tax withholding obligations of Section 13.3 shall continue to be applied with respect to the original optionee, following which the options shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in Sections 6(g), (h), and (i). The Company shall not be obligated to notify Permitted Transferee(s) of the expiration or termination of any option. Further, all Options shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant and, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, by a Permitted Transferee. The designation of a person entitled to exercise an Option after a person's death will not be deemed a transfer.
(g)Termination of Employment for Reasons other than Disability or Death. Upon Termination of Employment for any reason other than on account of Disability or death, each Option held by the Participant shall, to the extent rights to purchase shares under such Option have accrued at the date of such Termination of Employment and shall not have been fully exercised, be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time within a period of three (3) months following Termination of Employment, subject, however, to prior expiration of the term of such Options and any other limitations on the exercise of such Options in effect at the date of exercise. Whether an authorized leave of absence or absence because of military or governmental service shall constitute Termination of Employment for such purposes shall be determined by the Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.
(h)Termination of Employment for Disability. Upon Termination of Employment because of Disability, each Option held by such Participant shall, to the extent rights to purchase shares under the Option have accrued at the date of such Retirement or Disability and shall not have been fully exercised, remain exercisable in whole or in part, for a period of one (1) year following such Termination of Employment, subject, however, to prior expiration according to its terms and other limitations imposed by the Plan. If the Participant dies after such Retirement or Disability, the Participant's Options shall be exercisable in accordance with Section 6.4(i) below.
(i)Termination of Employment for Death. Upon Termination of Employment due to death, each Option held by such Participant or Permitted Transferee shall, to the extent rights to purchase shares under the Options have accrued at the date of death and shall not have been fully exercised, be exercisable, in whole or in part, by the personal representative of the estate of the Participant or Permitted Transferee or by any person or persons who shall have acquired the Option directly from the Participant or Permitted Transferee by bequest or inheritance only under the following circumstances and during the following periods: (i) if the Participant dies while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, at any time within one (1) year after his or her death, or (ii) if the Participant dies during the extended exercise period following Termination of Employment specified in Section 6.4(h), at any time within the longer of such extended period or three (3) months after death, subject, however, in any case, to the prior expiration of the term of the Option and any other limitation on the exercise of such Option in effect at the date of exercise.

7


(j)Termination of Options. Any Option that is not exercised within whichever of the exercise periods specified in Sections 6.4(g), (h) or (i) is applicable shall terminate upon expiration of such exercise period.
(k)Purchase and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any time offer to purchase an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made. In addition, if an Award Agreement so provides at the Award Date or is thereafter amended to so provide, the Committee may require that all or part of the shares of Common Stock to be issued with respect to the exercise of an Option, in an amount not greater than the Fair Market Value of the shares that is in excess of the aggregate Option Price, take the form of Performance Shares or Restricted Stock, which shall be valued on the date of exercise on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such Performance Shares or Restricted Stock determined without regard to the deferral limitations and/or forfeiture restrictions involved.

ARTICLE 7

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.1Grant of SARs. The Committee may approve the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") that are related to Options only. A SAR may be granted only at the time of grant of the related Option. A SAR will entitle the holder of the related Option, upon exercise of the SAR, to surrender such Option, or any portion thereof to the extent unexercised, with respect to the number of shares as to which such SAR is exercised, and to receive payment of an amount computed pursuant to Section 7.2. Such Option will, to the extent surrendered, then cease to be exercisable. A SAR granted hereunder will be exercisable at such time or times, and only to the extent that a related Option is exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the extent that such related Option may be transferable.
7.2Payment of SAR Amount. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Option Price, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in shares of Common Stock of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

ARTICLE 8

RESTRICTED STOCK

8.1Awards of Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Participant, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the achievement of specific business objectives, measurements of individual or business unit or Company performances, or such other factors as the Committee may determine. The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need not be the same

8


with respect to each Participant, and such Awards to individual Participants need not be the same in subsequent years.
8.2Awards and Certificates. A prospective Participant selected to receive a Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such Participant has executed an Award Agreement evidencing the Award and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. Further, such Award shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a)Acceptance. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 20 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the Award Date, by executing an Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated for such shares of Restricted Stock.

(b)Conversion of Performance Shares; Issuance of Common Stock.  No shares of Common Stock will be issued to Participant prior to the date on which the Performance Shares vest and become Actual Performance Shares under the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement.  At the time of issuance of any actual Performance Shares, Participant shall be credited with and paid the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid per share of Company common stock from the Award Date through the date of issuance of the Actual Performance Shares, multiplied by the number of Actual Performance Shares issued.  Neither this subsection (b) nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this subsection (b) will be construed to create a trust of any kind.  After any Performance Shares vest and become Actual Performance Shares and any tax withholding obligations related to such Actual Performance Shares have been satisfied pursuant to Section 7, the Company will, within 60 days thereafter, cause to be issued to the Participant or the Participant's legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, a stock certificate or book entry representing the number of shares of Common Stock in payment of such vested whole Actual Performance Shares.  The value of any fractional Performance Share will be paid in cash at the time certificates are delivered to Participant in payment of the Actual Performance Shares based on

3


the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day preceding the date of distribution.

5.Restriction on Transfer.

(a)The Performance Shares and any rights under this Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition will be void and unenforceable against the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to the Performance Shares upon the death of Participant.

(b)No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of any Performance Shares that vest by reason of Participant's death will be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee will have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

6.Adjustments to Performance Shares for Certain Corporate Transactions.  Adjustments to Performance Shares will be determined in accordance with this Section 6.

(a)The Committee will make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment to the number of Target Performance Shares granted under this Award if:

(i)The outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased, as a result of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, or

(ii)Additional shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities.

(b)The Committee may make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in the number of Target Performance Shares granted under this Award if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased as a result of a recapitalization or reorganization not included within subsection (a) above.

7.Tax Withholding.

(a)In order to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, and local payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or collected from Participant.

(b)In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the Committee under the Plan, Participant may elect to satisfy Participant's federal, state, and local tax obligations arising from the receipt of, or the lapse of restrictions relating to, the Performance Shares, by any of the following means or by a combination of such means set forth below.  If the Participant fails to notify the Company of his or her election, the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock as described in paragraph (ii), below.  

(i)Tendering a payment to the Company in the form of cash, check (bank check, certified check or personal check) or money order payable to the Company;

(ii)Authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered to the Participant a number of such shares having a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of the tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date) less than or equal to the minimum amount of the Company's withholding tax obligation; or

(iii)Delivering to the Company unencumbered shares of Common Stock already owned by Participant having a Fair Market Value, as of the Tax Date, less than or equal to the minimum amount of the Company's withholding tax obligation.  Any shares of Common Stock already owned by Participant referred to in this paragraph (iii) must have been owned by Participant for no less than six (6) months prior to the date delivered to the Company if such shares of Common Stock were acquired upon the exercise of an Option or upon the vesting of Restricted Stock or other Restricted Stock Units.

The Company will not deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, will round the number of shares up or down to the nearest number of full shares.  Participant's election must be made on or before the Tax Date.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Neither this Award Agreement nor the Plan confers on Participant any right with respect to the continuance of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will there be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Subsidiary by which Participant is employed to terminate his or her employment at any time.

5


known at the time of the original Award or at the time of vesting of any Actual Performance Shares. In the event that the Committee makes such a determination, the Company shall have the right: (i) in the instance of a Participant whose misconduct or violation of a Company policy causes such Restatement ("Cause"), to terminate, require forfeiture of, or adjust any Awards made to Participant and to require the repayment of any gain on any Award or on any Actual Performance Shares, realized within twelve (12) months of the Restatement and; (ii) in the instance where a Participant is an officer subject to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and without regard to whether such Participant caused the Restatement, to adjust any vested or unvested Award made during the period covered by the Restatement to reflect the impact of the Restatement. Both cause and the amount of adjustment and/or repayment shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and its decision shall be final and binding upon the Participant(s).

(c)The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock upon vesting of any Actual Performance Shares until the requirements of any federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations or other laws or rules (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.

(d)An original record of this Award and of the Participant's acceptance and acknowledgement will be held on file by the Company. This Agreement and the Participant's acknowledgement may be made by either paper or electronic format as specified by the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UFP Industries, Inc. is a holding company with subsidiaries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia that design, manufacture, and supply products made from wood, wood and non-wood composites, and other materials to three markets: retail, packaging, and construction. We are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich. For more information about UFP Industries, Inc., or its affiliated operations, go to www.ufpi.com.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in currency and inflation; fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; concentration of sales to customers; vertical integration strategies; excess capacity or supply chain challenges; our ability to make successful business acquisitions; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; adverse or unusual weather conditions; inbound and outbound transportation costs; alternatives to replace treated wood products; cybersecurity breaches; tariffs on import and export sales; costs associated with product liability, casualty, manufacturing and construction defects, and other claims; and potential pandemics. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in our reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of 2023.

OVERVIEW

Our results for 2023 were impacted by the following:

Our net sales decreased 25% compared to 2022, which was comprised of a 16% decrease in selling prices and a 9% decrease in unit sales. The overall decrease in our selling prices is primarily due to lower lumber prices and a more competitive pricing environment in certain of our business units. The overall unit decline consists of a 6% decrease in our retail segment, a 6% decrease in our packaging segment, and a 13% decrease in our construction segment. Acquired businesses contributed 2% unit growth in our packaging segment.
Our gross profits decreased by $370.5 million, or 20.7%, compared to last year, exceeding our 9% decline in unit sales. By segment, gross profits decreased by $203 million in Construction and $171 million in Packaging, while Retail experienced a $33 million increase in gross profits. The overall decrease in our gross profits is primarily due to the decline in unit sales, unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs, and more competitive pricing in certain business units. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by more favorable lumber price trends in 2023 on products sold in our Retail segment that are based on variable selling prices. The remaining decline in our gross profits is primarily due to our International segment, which is presented under “All Other” in the segment reporting tables below.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our operating profits decreased $304 million, or 32.0%, compared to last year. The overall decrease is a result of the decline in gross profits mentioned above offset by a $65 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Our SG&A declined primarily due to our incentive compensation plans which are tied to profitability and return on investment. More specifically, our sales incentive expense declined by $30 million to approximately $59 million for the year and bonus expense declined by $54 million to $175 million for the year. Our decremental operating margin comparing our decrease in operating profits relative to our decrease in net sales was 12.6%.
Our cash flows from operations in 2023 was $959.9 million compared to $831.6 million in 2022. The $128 million improvement resulted from the change in our investment in net working capital, which was $300 million lower in 2023 than it was in 2022 resulting in an increase in operating cash flows, offset by a $172 million decrease in net earnings and non-cash expenses compared to the prior year. Our investment in net working capital has declined primarily due to a decline in market demand in the industries we serve as well a decline in the cost of lumber.
We invested $180.4 million in capital expenditures to support and grow our existing businesses and invested $52.4 million in an acquired business.
We returned $68.2 million to our shareholders through dividends and repurchased approximately 975,000 shares of our common stock for $82.1 million, at an average price of $84.27 per share.
Our net surplus cash (cash less debt and cash overdraft) at the end of 2023 was $841.9 million compared to $281.4 million at the end of 2022. Our unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and a shelf agreement with certain lenders along with our cash surplus resulted in total liquidity of approximately $2.4 billion at the end of December 2023. We plan to continue to pursue a balanced and return driven approach to capital allocation focused on continuing to increase our dividend at a rate that is aligned with our anticipated long-term earnings growth rate, repurchasing our common stock to offset dilution from issuances under our equity-based compensation programs, making capital investments needed to execute our organic growth and operating improvement strategies, and completing business acquisitions that complement our existing businesses and provide new avenues for growth.

Lower overall lumber prices in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to increased capacity of the supply of lumber in North America combined with an increase in imports from other countries while demand for lumber has declined. A change in lumber prices impacts our profitability of products sold with fixed and variable prices, as discussed below.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers ("Lumber Market"). We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs, including plywood and other panel products, were 43.5% and 49.6% of our net sales in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products, such as manufactured items, sold within all segments. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time. In order to reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers or purchase necessary inventory for these sales commitments. The time period limitation eventually allows us to periodically re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers.
Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar "adder" to cover conversion costs and profits. These products primarily include treated lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers’ needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. We believe our sales of these products are at their highest relative level in our second quarter, primarily due to pressure-treated lumber sold in our retail segment.

For each of the product pricing categories above, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices. As a result of the balance in our net sales of each category we believe our gross profits are more stable than those of our competitors who are less diversified.

The greatest risk associated with changes in the trend of lumber prices is on the following products:

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprises approximately 21% of our total net sales in 2023. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, panel goods, other commodity-type items, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing market due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through inventory consignment programs with our vendors. We estimate that 18% of our total purchases for 2023 were completed under these programs. (Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.)

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices and longer vendor commitments.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits but does impact our margins. Gross margins and operating margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low. As a result of this factor, we believe it is useful to compare our change in units sold with our change in gross profits, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and operating profits as presented in the following table.

It is our long-term goal to increase our gross profits and earnings from operations at a rate of growth that exceeds our unit sales growth, or in other words, increase our profit per unit sold. We also have a long-term goal of improving our efficiencies and leveraging the fixed costs in our selling, general, and administrative expenses as we grow, which would result in a rate of growth of these expenses which is less than our unit sales growth resulting in a lower cost per unit.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET PURCHASES

We completed one business acquisition during 2023 and four during 2022. The annual historical sales attributable to acquisitions in 2023 and 2022 were approximately $38.0 million and $177.8 million, respectively. These business combinations were not significant to our operating results individually or in aggregate; consequently pro forma results for 2023 and 2022 are not presented.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percentage of gross profit. We believe this ratio provides an enhanced view of our effectiveness in managing these costs given our strategies to enhance our capabilities and improve our value-added product offering and recognizing the higher relative level of SG&A these strategies require, and mitigates the impact of changing lumber prices.

The increase in the ratio above is primarily due to a combination of fixed SG&A costs and more competitive pricing in certain business units as the markets we serve have declined from peak levels experienced during and shortly after the pandemic. For comparison purposes, our SG&A costs as a percentage of gross profits in 2019 (immediately prior to the pandemic) was 64%.

OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions (“Retail”), UFP Packaging (“Packaging” and formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction (“Construction”), and align with the end markets we serve. Among other things, this structure allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, more 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. The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world. Our International segment and Ardellis (our insurance captive) are included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes purchasing, transportation, corporate ventures, and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consists of over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases, and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Increasing our sales of "value-added" products and enhancing our product offering with new or improved products. Value-added products generally consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold in the Retail segment; structural and protective packaging and machine-built pallets sold in the Packaging segment; engineered wood components, customized interior fixtures, manufactured and assembled concrete forms sold in the Construction segment; and "wood alternative" products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist of products manufactured with wood and non-wood composites, metals and plastics sold in each of our segments. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber and panels with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber is not presently included in the value-added sales totals. Remanufactured lumber and panels that are components of finished goods are also generally categorized as “commodity-based” products.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales by our segments.

Note: Certain prior year product reclassifications and the change in designation of certain products as "value-added" resulted in a change in prior year's sales.

Our overall unit sales of value-added products decreased approximately 9% in 2023 compared to 2022. Our unit sales of commodity-based products also decreased approximately 9% compared to 2022.

Developing new products. We define new products as those that will generate sales of at least $1 million per year within 4 years of launch and are still growing and gaining market penetration. New product sales in 2023 decreased 8% compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decline in lumber prices, which were passed to our customers in our selling prices. Approximately $17.4 million of new product sales for 2022, while still sold, were sunset in 2023 and excluded from the table below because they no longer meet the definition above. Our goal was to achieve annual new product sales of at least $795 million in 2023. For 2024, we have redefined our definition of new products as we focus on more value-added products and services. As a result, we have lowered the forecast for new product sales to $510 million for 2024. On a long-term basis, our goal is for new product sales to comprise at least 10% of our total net sales.

Retail Segment:

Net sales from the Retail segment decreased 21% in 2023 compared to 2022 due to a 15% decrease in selling prices and a 6% decrease in organic unit growth. Our selling prices of variable-priced products declined due to lower lumber prices. The selling prices of these products are indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped. Additionally, our unit sales to big box customers, which we believe are more closely correlated with repair and remodel activity, increased nearly 2%, while unit sales to independent retailers, which we believe are more closely correlated to new housing starts, decreased approximately 20%.

Gross profits increased by $33.5 million, or 9.7%, to $378.0 million in 2023 compared to 2022. Our change in gross profits was attributable to the following:

The gross profits of our ProWood business unit increased $28.7 million, primarily due to less volatile lumber prices during 2023 compared to severe, adverse volatility in 2022. The products sold by this unit consists primarily of pressure treated lumber sold at a variable price indexed to the lumber market at the time they are shipped.
Our Deckorator’s business unit increased by approximately $18.2 million due to an increase in overall unit sales, sales of new products, and operational improvements.
The improvements above were offset by a $14 million decrease in gross profits of our Edge business unit.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $15.8 million, or 8.2%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, increased approximately $8.8 million and totaled approximately $45.8 million in 2023. The remaining increase is comprised of many smaller increases spread over several accounts.

Earnings from operations of the Retail reportable segment increased in 2023 compared to 2022 by $17.7 million, or 11.8%, as a result of the factors mentioned above.

Packaging Segment:

Net sales from the Packaging segment decreased 23% in 2023 compared to 2022 due to a 17% decrease in selling prices and an 8% decrease in organic unit sales, partially offset by unit growth from acquisitions of 2%. The decline in prices is due to competitive price pressure as well as lower lumber costs passed to customers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Gross profits decreased by $171.0 million, or 29.2%, to $415.3 million in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in gross profits is primarily due to lower demand resulting in lower unit sales, as well as competitive price pressure, and unfavorable cost variances as a result of fixed manufacturing costs. Acquisitions contributed $8.1 million to gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by approximately $31.5 million, or 12.6%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability and return on investment of the segment, decreased approximately $28.4 million, and totaled approximately $53.8 million for 2023. Additionally, our bad debt expense decreased by $8.1 million and incentive compensation expense decreased by $8.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and wages of $8.7 million, and acquired operations, which contributed approximately $5.6 million to our SG&A.

Earnings from operations of the Packaging reportable segment in 2023 decreased by $139.3 million, or 41.6%, compared to 2022 due to the factors discussed above.

Construction Segment:

Net sales from the Construction segment decreased 31% in 2023 compared to 2022 due to an 18% decrease in selling prices and a decline in organic unit sales of 13%. Organic unit changes within this segment consisted of decreases of 2% in concrete forming, 12% in site-built housing, 14% in factory-built housing, and 24% in commercial construction. The decline in pricing was due to competitive price pressure as well as the decline in lumber prices, which were passed to our customers.

Gross profits decreased by $202.9 million, or 27.9% to $523.7 million in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in our gross profit was comprised of the following factors:

Gross profits in our factory-built housing and site-built construction business unit decreased by $65.6 million and $118.2 million, respectively, due to competitive price pressure as well as lower sales volumes and unfavorable cost variances due to fixed manufacturing costs.
The gross profit of our concrete forming business unit decreased by $17.4 million due to a decline in selling prices.

SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $49.0 million, or 14.9%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Accrued bonus expense, which varies with the overall profitability of the segment and return on investment, decreased approximately $31.0 million compared to last year and totaled approximately $65.0 million for 2023. The remaining decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales incentive compensation of $13.9 million, bad debt expense of $5.3 million, and professional fees of $3.2 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in salaries, wages, and benefits of approximately $3.0 million.

Earnings from operations of the Construction reportable segment increased in 2023 compared to 2022 by $154.1 million, or 38.8%, due to the factors mentioned above.

All Other Segment:

Our All Other reportable segment consists of our International and Ardellis (our insurance captive) segments that are not significant. The decline in sales and earnings from operations is primarily due to our operation in Mexico that exports molding and millwork products to the U.S.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Corporate:

The corporate segment consists of over (under) allocated costs that are not significant.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense in 2023 was similar to 2022 due to consistent amounts of outstanding debt during each period as well as fixed interest rates on these debts. See “Note C of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements”.

INTEREST AND INVESTMENT INCOME

Interest and investment income increased by $39.2 million in 2023 compared to 2022 due to the increase in cash and the higher interest rate environment.

INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes, and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 23.4% in 2023 compared to 24.6% in 2022. The decrease in our overall effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference, and an increase in the research and development tax credit, and a manufacturing exemption which reduced our income tax in one of the states we operate.

In general, we fund our growth through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition that occurred many years ago. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe these financial ratios are among many other important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season which occurs during the period from March to September. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarters resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables are outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle decreased slightly to 63 days in 2023 from 64 days in 2022.

1 We’ve modified our calculation of days of payables outstanding to be based on the cost of goods sold and accounts payable balances in our monthly financial statements. In prior periods, our calculation was based on invoice data. We’ve made this change to simplify the calculation and more easily integrate acquired operations into our financial metrics. The prior year metrics have been restated for the new method which reduced days of payables from a previously reported 20 days to 12 days.

We continue to focus on past due account balances with customers, and the percentage of our accounts receivable that are current are 91% in 2023 compared to 87% in 2022, which contributed to the improvement in our days of sales outstanding.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our cash flows from operating activities in 2023 was $960 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $514 million, $158 million of non-cash expenses, and a $288 million decrease in working capital since the end of December 2022. Our cash flows from operations increased by $128 million compared to last year primarily due to a $300 million decrease in our investment in net working capital compared to the prior year period, offset by a decrease in our net earnings and non-cash expenses of $172 million. The elevated decrease in our net working capital this year was due to the drop in lumber prices and a decline in demand in certain markets we serve.

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $180 million comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during 2023. Capital spending primarily consists of several projects to expand capacity to manufacture new and value-added products, primarily in our Packaging segment and Deckorators and ProWood business units, achieve efficiencies through automation in all segments, make improvements to a number of facilities, and increase our transportation capacity (tractors, trailers). Cash used for acquisitions during the year totaled $52 million compared to $180 million in 2022. In the current year we made one acquisition, UFP Palets y Embalajes SL. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note C, "Business Combinations" for additional information.

Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consisted of:

Cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $82 million. We repurchased 974,869 shares of our common stock for the year at an average share price of $84.27.
Dividends paid during 2023 include first quarter dividends of $16 million ($0.25 per share), second quarter dividends of $15 million ($0.25 per share) third quarter dividends of $19 million ($0.30 per share), and fourth quarter dividends of $18 million ($0.30 per share).
Contingent consideration payments of $6 million.
Distributions to noncontrolling interests of $7 million.

On November 1, 2018, we entered into a five-year, $375 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks. On February 28, 2021, this credit agreement was amended to increase the availability from $375 million to $550 million by exercising the accordion feature in the original agreement. On December 6, 2022, a second amendment increased the availability from $550 million to $750 million. The facilities now include 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.

On December 30, 2023, we had $3.7 million outstanding on our $750 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also supports letters of credit totaling $37.3 million which includes approximately $3.3 million related to industrial development revenue bonds. As a result, we have approximately $709.0 million in remaining availability. We also had approximately $10.5 million of outstanding letters of credit that were issued outside of the revolving credit facility. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest 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. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on December 30, 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note L, “Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees”.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. Following is a summary of our more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements.

GOODWILL

We evaluate goodwill for indicators of impairment when events or circumstances indicate that this risk may be present. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment are based on market conditions, operational performance and estimated future cash flows. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we have consistently estimated using primarily a weighted average between income and market valuation approaches. We believe this approach is the most appropriate and accurate method to measure the fair value of our intangible assets. We use discounted cash flow analysis with the following assumption: a business is worth today what it can generate in future cash flows; cash received today is worth more than an equal amount of cash received in the future; and future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. The discounted cash flow analysis is based on the present value of projected cash flows and residual values.

If the carrying value of goodwill is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded to adjust it to its fair value. Changes in forecasted operations and changes in discount rates can materially affect these estimates. In addition, we test goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of other events suggest impairments exist. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected future cash flows and market valuation multiples. Changes in these estimates may result in the recognition of an impairment loss.

On our annual testing date of September 30, 2023, the fair values exceed the carrying values for all reporting units and there were no indicators for impairment. We believe we have sufficient available information, both current and historical, to support our assumptions, judgments and estimates used in the goodwill impairment test.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue for product sales is recognized at the time the performance obligation is satisfied, which is primarily when the goods are delivered to the carrier, Free On Board (FOB) shipping point. Generally, title 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.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Performance on construction contracts is reflected in operations using over time accounting, under either the cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations. 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 related 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 related 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 charged to operations 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.

SHORT-TERM DEMAND OUTLOOK

We believe effectively executing our strategies will allow us to achieve long-term goals in the future. However, demand in the markets we serve has contracted, which will impact our results and vary depending on the severity and duration of this cycle. The following factors should be considered when evaluating our future results:

Lumber prices, which impact our cost of goods sold and selling prices, have normalized due to additional capacity added by sawmills and demand falling from peak levels. We anticipate lumber prices will remain in range near current levels, and experience more typical seasonal trends, until there is a substantial change in the balance of supply and demand.
Retail segment sales accounted for 40% of our net sales in 2023. When evaluating future demand for the segment, we analyze data such as the same-store sales growth of national home improvement retailers and forecasts of home remodeling activity. Based on this data, we currently anticipate market demand to be flat to slightly down in 2024.
Packaging segment sales accounted for 26% of our net sales in 2023. When evaluating future demand, we consider a number of metrics, including the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), durable goods manufacturing, and U.S. real GDP. We currently believe overall demand in the markets we serve to be slightly up to slightly down in 2024.
Construction segment sales accounted for 30% of our net sales in 2023.
-The site-built business unit accounted for approximately 14% of our net sales in 2023. Approximately one-third of site-built customers are multifamily builders. The Mortgage Bankers Association of America forecasts a 1% decrease in national housing starts to an estimated 1.42 million starts in 2024 and the National Association of Home Builders forecasts starts of 1.34 million, a 6% decrease from 2023.
-The factory-built business unit accounted for 10% of our net sales in 2023. When evaluating future demand, we analyze data from production and shipments of manufactured housing. The National Association of Home Builders and John Burns Real Estate Consulting forecast the manufactured home shipments in 2024 to be flat to slightly up.

Growing our annual unit sales by 7 to 10 percent. We anticipate smaller tuck-in acquisitions will contribute toward this goal;
Achieving and sustaining a 12.5 percent EBITDA margin by continuing to enhance our capabilities and grow our portfolio and sales of value-added products and by achieving operating improvements;
Earning an incremental return on new investment over our cost of capital; and
Maintaining a conservative capital structure.

RETAIL SEGMENT

The Home Improvement Research Institute (“HIRI”) anticipates growth in home improvement spending and has forecasted 2.4% growth in 2025 and 3.0% annual growth through 2027. We continue to compete for market share for certain retail customers and face intense pricing pressure from other suppliers to this market.

Our long-term goal is to achieve sales growth by:

Increasing our market share of value-added products, including our Deckorators and Edge product lines. Continued investment in capacity for Deckorators and Edge is expected to contribute to this increase.
Developing new products and increasing our emphasis on product innovation and product differentiation in order to counter commoditization trends and influences.
Acquiring businesses in core product categories when those opportunities exist.
Adding new products and customers through strategic business acquisitions or alliances.

PACKAGING SEGMENT

Our goal is to increase our sales of wood, wood alternative, and protective packaging products to a wide variety of packaging customers and manufactured wood components for OEM users. We believe the vast amount of hardwood and softwood lumber consumed for packaging applications, combined with the highly fragmented nature of this market, provides us with market share growth opportunities as a result of our competitive advantages in manufacturing, purchasing, and material utilization.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In addition, purchasers of packaging products with a wide geographic footprint increasingly desire to reduce the number of suppliers they buy from, which provides an opportunity to gain market share due to our international presence. We plan to continue to obtain market share by expanding our manufacturing capacity, enhancing our capabilities and product offerings to enhance the solutions we offer our customers, and improving our ability to serve large regional and international customers in targeted markets.

We plan to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that meet our strategic criteria and help us meet these objectives. The recently implemented reorganization of our business to market-based segments is intended to promote higher rates of sales growth through the introduction of new products, including protective and other packaging materials, and enhanced expertise in this market as well as improved earnings through more efficient use of our people, resources and capital.

Market indicators that should be considered when evaluating future demand for our products in the packaging segment include industrial production, the Purchasing Managers Index, and U.S. GDP growth.

CONSTRUCTION SEGMENT

The National Association of Home Builders forecasts a 3% increase in manufactured home shipments from 2023 to 2024 and a 4% compounded annual growth rate through 2026.

The Mortgage Bankers Association of America forecasts national housing starts of 1.42 million in 2024 and 1.47 million in 2025. The National Association of Home Builders forecasts starts of 1.34 million in 2024 and 1.42 million in 2025. The consensus estimate of all housing starts is 1.4 million in 2024, 1.47 million in 2025, and 1.5 million is 2026.

Non-residential construction spending is a market indicator that should be considered when evaluating future demand for our products in our Commercial and Concrete Forming business units within our Construction segment.

GROSS PROFIT

We believe the following factors are likely to impact our gross profits and margins in the future:

End market demand and our ability to grow and leverage fixed costs and price our products based on the value we offer our customers.
Our ability to maintain market share and gross margins on products sold to our largest customers. We believe our level of service, geographic diversity, and quality of products provides an added value to our customers. However, if our customers are unwilling to pay for these advantages, our sales and gross margins may be reduced.
Sales mix of value-added and commodity products and our ability to sell new products.
Fluctuations in the relative level of the Lumber Market and trends in the market price of lumber. (See "Impact of the Lumber Market on our Operating Results.")
Fuel and transportation costs.
Rising labor and benefit costs.
Our ability to continue to achieve productivity improvements as our unit sales increase and planned cost reductions through continuous improvement activities, automation, and other initiatives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Changes in corporate income tax rates and the cost of complying with new or increased government regulations.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In recent years, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses have increased due to acquisitions and added personnel hired to take advantage of growth opportunities and execute our initiatives intended to increase our sales of new products and improve our sales mix of value-added products. We anticipate our trend of increases in these costs will continue; however, our objective is to reduce these costs on a per unit basis and as a percentage of gross profits as we grow through the improved productivity of our people and as a result of fixed costs. In addition, bonus and other incentive expenses is based on our profitability and the effective management of our assets and will continue to fluctuate based on our results. See Note H — Common Stock for discussion of future compensation costs related to long-term share-based bonus awards.

On a long-term basis, we expect that our SG&A expenses will primarily be impacted by:

Our growth in sales to the packaging and the construction segments. Our sales to these segments require a higher ratio of SG&A costs due, in part, to product design and engineering requirements.
Sales of new products and value-added, branded products to the retail segment, which generally require higher product development, marketing, advertising, and other selling costs.
Our incentive compensation programs which are tied to gross profits, pre-bonus earnings from operations and threshold levels of return on investment.
Our growth and success in achieving continuous improvement objectives designed to improve our productivity and leverage our fixed costs as we grow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash cycle will continue to be impacted in the future by our mix of sales by segment. Sales from our Construction and Packaging segments require a greater investment in receivables than sales to our Retail segment, while our Retail segment generally requires a greater investment in inventory. Also, our net investment in trade receivables, inventory, and accounts payable will continue to be impacted by the level of lumber prices.

Additionally, we expect to spend approximately $250 million to $300 million on capital expenditures, incur depreciation of approximately $110 million, and incur amortization and other non-cash expenses of approximately $45 million in 2024.

On December 30, 2023, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $93.6 million. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility which is considered sufficient to meet these commitments and working capital needs.

Our dividend rates are reviewed and approved at each of our February, April, July, and October board meetings and payments are made in March, June, September, and December of each year. On February 1, 2024, our board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share, which represents a 10% increase from December 2023. This dividend will be payable on March 15, 2024, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2024. Our board considers our dividend yield, payout ratios relative to earnings and operating cash flow, and potential variability of future results, among other factors, as part of its decision-making process.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors, and on July 26, 2023, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2024. This share authorization supersedes and replaces our prior share repurchase authorizations. We currently have remaining authorization to repurchase up to $173 million through July 31, 2024. In the past, we have repurchased shares in order to offset the effect of issuances resulting from our employee benefit plans and at opportune times when our stock price falls to predetermined levels.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of UFP Industries, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of UFP Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 30, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of UFP Industries, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UFP Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accounting for Variable Interest Entities - Refer to Note C, Business Combinations, to the financial statements.

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company periodically purchases a partial ownership interest in other entities. The agreements related to such purchases can be complex, requiring management to evaluate whether the entities should be consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. In addition, management must also evaluate whether the acquired interest in the entity represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. This assessment requires judgment by management.

23

Table of Contents

We identified the Company’s assessment of consolidation or equity method accounting related to its acquisition of a partial ownership interest in UFP Palets, as well as the VIE primary beneficiary assessment, as a critical audit matter given the judgment required by management. This required a higher degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort due to the complexity of the entity structure and the related acquisition agreement.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the determination of equity method or consolidation accounting, inclusive of VIE primary beneficiary assessment, included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of the controls over the accounting assessment of the acquisition.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s accounting conclusion related to consolidation or equity method accounting for a partial ownership interest entity by reading the acquisition agreement and other related documents.
We evaluated the terms of the agreement to determine if the acquired ownership interest should be classified as a VIE. If an entity was determined to be a VIE, we considered whether the Company appropriately determined the primary beneficiary by evaluating the contractual arrangements of the entity to determine if the Company has the power to direct activities, and if the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could be significant to the VIE.

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 to three markets: retail, construction and packaging. Founded in 1955, we are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with affiliates throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, 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 are both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of December 30, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $61.4 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 2023, 2022, and 2021 relate to the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 25, 2021, respectively. Fiscal year 2023 was comprised of 52 weeks, fiscal year 2022 was comprised of 53 weeks and fiscal year 2021 was comprised of 52 weeks.

Table of Contents

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:

Level 1 — Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.
Level 2 — Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. Financial instrument values are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms and direct or indirect observational inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 — Financial instruments not actively traded on a market exchange and there is little, if any, market activity. Values are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

Our investment portfolio includes restricted investments within our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. There are $24.8 million of restricted investments recorded as of December 30, 2023.

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.

Table of Contents

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 $8.2 million and $8.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All amounts are expected to be collected within 18 months. Concentration of accounts receivable related to our two largest customers totaled $118.0 million and $131.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

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, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. Although the ASU only modifies our required income tax disclosures, we are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Although the ASU only requires additional disclosures about the Company's operating segments, we are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and has been applied prospectively to all business combinations occurring after this date.

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 $23.2 million as of December 30, 2023 and $27.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

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

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

Land improvements

    

5 to 15 years

Buildings and improvements

 

10 to 32 years

Machinery, equipment and office furniture

 

2 to 20 years

Software costs are included in machinery and equipment on the balance sheet with gross amounts and accumulated amortization totaling $5.8 million and $5.7 million as of December 30, 2023, and $5.7 million and $5.4 million as of December 31, 2022, 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.

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 30, 2023, it was determined that the fair values exceed the carrying values and there were no indicators for impairment for all of our reporting units. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.5 million related to the Italian reporting unit within our all other segment. Subsequently, the Italian reporting unit was divested in 2023. 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.

Table of Contents

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 of which are included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 30, 2023, Ardellis had 207 such contracts in place. Reserves associated with these contracts were $7.5 million at December 30, 2023, and $5.0 million at December 31, 2022, 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 the three 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.

33

Table of Contents

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 reflected in operations 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 charged to operations 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.

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.

We acquired UFP Palets on September 20, 2023, in which we own 80% of the issued equity of that entity, and the remaining 20% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owner (“Seller”). In the fourth quarter of 2023, we gained control over UFP Palets and thus began consolidating this entity. The investment in UFP Palets is accounted for as a business acquisition. Per the contract, the Seller has a put right to sell their equity interest to us and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest, which are both first exercisable in September 2026. The values of the put and call options are based upon future performance. As a result of this redemption feature, we recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest, at its acquisition‑date fair value, that is classified as temporary equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 30, 2023.

As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of September 30, 2023, all reporting units had fair values that were substantially in excess of their carrying values. During 2022, we experienced significantly lower than expected operating results within our Italian reporting unit, which is within the all other segment. It was determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value and as a result, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.5 million as of December 31, 2022, which represented the entire amount of the goodwill recorded within the reporting unit. Subsequently, the Italian reporting unit was divested in 2023.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled $7.3 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.

E.DEBT

On November 1, 2018, we entered into a five-year, $375 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks. On February 28, 2021, this credit agreement was amended to increase the availability from $375 million to $550 million by exercising the accordion feature in the original agreement. On December 6, 2022, a second amendment increased the availability from $550 million to $750 million. The facilities now include 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.

On August 10, 2020, we entered into an unsecured Note Purchase Agreement under which we issued our 3.04% Series 2020 E Senior Notes, due August 10, 2032, in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, our 3.08% Series 2020 F Senior Notes, due August 10, 2033, in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, and our 3.15% Series 2020 G Senior Notes, due August 10, 2035, in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million.

Outstanding letters of credit extended on our behalf on December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 aggregated $47.8 million and $59.0 million. These letters of credit are comprised of $37.3 million issued under the revolving credit facility, including approximately $3.3 million related to industrial development revenue bonds, and $10.5 million issued outside of the facility. We had an outstanding balance on the revolver of $3.7 million and $5.5 million, which includes foreign subsidiary borrowings at December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. After considering letters of credit, we had $709.0 million and $741.2 million in remaining availability on the revolver on December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Letters of credit have one-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.

On December 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $241.4 million, which was $35.1 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 from one to ten 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 of five to fifteen years. We believe that future leases will likely have similar terms. We also lease motor vehicles, equipment, and an aircraft under operating lease agreements for periods of one to ten 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 30, 2023.

As of December 30, 2023, we have no leases that have not yet commenced that would significantly impact the rights, obligations, and our financial position.

There were no lease transactions between related parties as of December 30, 2023.

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.

As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average lease term for operating leases was 7.21 years and 6.78 years, respectively. Similarly, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 4.53% and 3.70%, 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. There was no remaining deferred compensation liability on December 30, 2023 and the remaining deferred compensation liability on December 31, 2022 was $0.1 million. 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 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $12.2 million and $11.6 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. Assets held by the Plan totaled approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million on December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in "Other Assets." Related liabilities totaled $57.8 million and $50.4 million on December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

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.

43

Table of Contents

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 $1.9 million in 2023, $2.0 million in 2022, and $1.7 million in 2021. Effective January 1, 2017, this plan was amended to allow 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.

Finally, we 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.

Executive Stock Match 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 on the “Plan”.

There is no unrecognized compensation expense remaining for stock options in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

Under the Stock Purchase Plan and LTSIP, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $34.9 million, $28.2 million, and $11.2 million and the related total income tax benefits of $8.2 million, $6.9 million, and $2.7 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the year-ended December 30, 2023, we determined that $28.9 million of share-based bonus awards, representing 254,746 shares, will be awarded to qualified employees as it relates to the Company’s 2023 performance and granted in 2024 under the LTSIP. Awards granted generally vest after a period of three, five or eight years from the grant date. In addition to the share-based bonus awards, certain employees are eligible to receive performance units equivalent to $1.2 million, or 10,893 shares of stock, if certain performance metrics are achieved after three years. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized approximately $5.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to share-based bonus awards and performance units for each of those respective performance years.‬

Table of Contents

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. For the year-ended December 30, 2023, we determined that $5.9 million of share-based sales incentive awards, representing 51,802 shares, will be awarded to qualified employees based on the 2023 performance year and granted in 2024. These awards will vest after a period of five years from the grant date. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million of compensation expense related to share-based sales incentive awards for each of those respective performance years.‬

In 2023, 2022 and 2021, cash received from share issuances under our plans was $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

During 2023, we repurchased 974,869 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $84.27. During 2022, we repurchased approximately 1,246,616 shares of our common stock at an average share price of $76.83. Effective July 26, 2023, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million worth of shares of outstanding stock through July 31, 2024. This share authorization supersedes and replaces our prior share repurchase authorizations. We currently have remaining authorization to repurchase up to $173 million through July 31, 2024.

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 2023, 2022, and 2021, on a discretionary basis, totaling $8.8 million, $11.7 million, and $9.2 million respectively. Included within the total employee matched contribution was an additional matched contribution for hourly employees of $1.8 million, $4.6 million and $3.7 million for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, based on meeting certain performance goals during those years. The basis for matching contributions may not exceed the lesser of 6% of the employee’s annual compensation or the IRS limitation.

We maintain a 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 $15.5 million and $14.8 million are accrued in “Other Liabilities” for this plan on December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of December 30, 2023, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $7.9 million and state tax credit carryforwards of $0.1 million, which will expire at various dates.

As of December 30, 2023, 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 $5.5 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. Many countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws, many of them effective for tax years beginning Jan 1, 2024. We continue to analyze the impacts of these legislative changes to our effective tax rate, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. As of Dec 30, 2023, we do not expect the impact of Pillar Two legislation to have a material impact on our tax expense.

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.

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 $0.4 million for the year December 30, 2023, $0.3 million for the year December 31, 2022, and $0.5 million for the year December 25, 2021.

We file income tax returns in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The federal and a majority of state and foreign jurisdictions are no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2019. A number of routine state and local examinations are currently ongoing. Due to the potential for resolution of state examinations, the expiration of various statutes of limitation, and new positions that may be taken, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would reverse through the income statement in the next twelve months is $1.2 million.

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.

In addition, on December 30, 2023, 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 30, 2023, we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $82.9 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We 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 insure the project owner that the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims made against the bonds. As of December 30, 2023, we had approximately $20.9 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $6.9 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On December 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.8 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 30, 2023, we have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $44.5 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 2012, 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 2023 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 in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

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 consistent 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 which serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment. Two customers, The Home Depot and Lowes, accounted for approximately 17% and 12%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2023, 15% and 11%, respectively, of our total net sales in fiscal 2022 and 16% and 10%, respectively, in 2021.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia operations 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 net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing and UFP Transportation and over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. 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, certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., UFP Transportation Ltd, UFP Purchasing, and UFP RMS, LLC.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following stock price performance graph compares the annual percentage change in the cumulative total return on our common stock with the cumulative total returns of companies comprising the NASDAQ US Benchmark TR index and an industry peer group we selected. The NASDAQ US Benchmark TR index replaces the NASDAQ Stock Market (US Companies) Index in this analysis and going forward, as the CRSP Index data is no longer accessible. The CRSP indexes has been included with data through 2020. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on December 29, 2018, and reinvestment of dividends in all cases.

Graphic

The companies included in our self-determined industry peer group are as follows:

American Woodmark Corporation

Masco Corporation

Boise Cascade Company

Patrick Industries, Inc.

Builders FirstSource, Inc.

Simpson Manufacturing Company, Inc.

Gibraltar Industries, Inc.

Sonoco Products Company

Greif, Inc.

Trex Company, Inc.

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation

WestRock Company

The returns of each company included in the self-determined peer group are weighted according to each respective company’s stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period presented in the graph above. In determining the members of our peer group, we considered companies who selected UFPI as a member of their peer group, and looked for similarly sized companies or companies that are a good fit with the markets we serve.

Exhibit 97

UFP INDUSTRIES, INC. ["the Company"]

CLAWBACK POLICY

INTRODUCTION

This Clawback Policy (the "Policy") is intended to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as well as Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the "Listing Standard") and Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides for the recoupment of certain compensation from Executive Officers in the event of a Restatement (as defined herein) or Improper Conduct (as defined herein).

RECOUPMENT

(a)

Mandatory Recoupment.  If the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, the Company shall promptly recoup the amount of any Erroneous Awarded Compensation received by any Executive Officer during the Applicable Period.

(b)

Discretionary Recoupment.  If any person who is or was an Executive Officer has engaged in Improper Conduct that either has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, an Adverse Effect, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, after evaluating the associated costs and benefits, seek to recover all or any portion of the Recoverable Incentive paid to any such Executive Officer during the Applicable Period.  

(c)

Discretionary Recoupment; Further Actions.  In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion and in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment, determine whether and to what extent additional action is appropriate to address the circumstances surrounding such Improper Conduct so as to minimize the likelihood of any recurrence and to impose such other discipline as it deems appropriate.

"Adverse Effect" means any significant adverse impact on the reputation of, or a significant adverse economic consequence for, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
"Applicable Period" means (i) in the case of any Restatement, the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the Restatement and (ii) in the case of any Improper Conduct, the three-year period preceding the date of the Improper Conduct, as determined by the Board. The date on which the Company is required to prepare a Restatement is the earlier to occur of (1) the date the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement or (2) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed.


"Board" means the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board of Directors that, at the relevant time, has authority for making determinations as to the compensation of Executive Officers.
"Erroneously Awarded Compensation" means the amount of Performance-Based Compensation received by the Executive Officer on or after October 2, 2023, that exceeds the amount of Performance-Based Compensation that would have been received by the Executive Officer had it been determined based upon the restated amounts.  In addition, Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be determined by the Board without regard to any taxes paid by the Executive Officer with respect to any Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
"Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
"Executive Officer" means any person who is or was during the Applicable Period an executive officer of the Company, as determined pursuant to Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).
