West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. (WFG) has entered into a new $500 million three-year term loan maturing in September 2029, using partial proceeds to retire its existing $300 million term loan due in 2028. The company’s $1 billion syndicated credit facility remains undrawn and in place to its May 2030 maturity.
On a pro forma basis at the end of the second quarter, this capital structure would have supported a cash balance of $219 million, available liquidity of over $1.2 billion, and a net debt to capital ratio of 5.4%. West Fraser also declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.32 per share on its Common and Class B Common shares, payable on October 19, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 29, 2026, designated as eligible dividends for Canadian tax purposes.
West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. reported Q2 2026 sales of $1,434 million, down from $1,532 million a year earlier, and a net loss of $61 million, taking the year-to-date loss to $249 million versus an $18 million profit in 2025.
Performance was pressured by weaker North American OSB pricing and volumes, higher freight, and substantial trade-related costs. Export duties, net, and tariffs were $44 million in Q2 and $202 million year-to-date, alongside $46 million of negative interest on duty deposits, largely tied to U.S. countervailing and antidumping reviews.
The Lumber segment remained loss-making despite better pricing, as duties and 10% Section 232 tariffs on Canadian softwood shipments offset gains. NA Engineered Wood Products produced modest Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million amid lower OSB prices and the High Level, Alberta curtailment, while Europe EWP delivered $13 million of Adjusted EBITDA on firmer local pricing. At July 3, 2026, cash was $74 million, the revolving credit facility was $1 billion with $55 million drawn, long-term debt was $300 million, and shareholders’ equity totaled $5,566 million.

West Fraser Timber reported a weak first quarter of 2026, swinging to a net loss as U.S. softwood lumber duties and tariffs heavily weighed on results. Sales were $1,334 million, down from $1,459 million a year earlier, reflecting softer pricing, especially in engineered wood products.
The company posted a net loss of $188 million versus earnings of $42 million in Q1‑25, with basic EPS at $(2.40). Adjusted EBITDA fell to $(66 million) from $195 million. Export duties, net, and tariffs surged to $158 million, including non‑cash export duty charges of $73 million for a higher preliminary countervailing duty rate and $41 million from updated antidumping assessment estimates, plus a $45 million adverse interest adjustment on duty deposits.
The Lumber segment recorded an operating loss of $137 million, affected by these duties and a temporary shutdown after a fire at the Blue Ridge mill. NA Engineered Wood Products posted a $58 million loss despite modest OSB price improvement, while Europe EWP was near break‑even. Cash used in operations was $170 million, ending with $81 million in cash, $203 million drawn on revolving credit facilities, and $300 million of term debt outstanding.
