US Housing Markets
• Demographic Fundamentals Are Solid
– Pent-up demand will be a factor … before the decade is over!
• But Economic Fundamentals Are Weak
– Household formations are being delayed by high
unemployment, slow income growth and consumer uncertainty
• Elements in Place for Recovery
– Sales, production and prices appear to have hit bottom;
inventories of unsold homes are in decline
– Affordability is great … if you qualify for a mortgage!
– Rental demand is strengthening; boost for multifamily
construction

Conclusions: Structural Panels
• The strength and timing of housing’s recovery will largely
determine the forecast outcome for wood products markets.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remainder of 2010 and first half of 2011 will be very difficult for producers
as demand generally lags behind year-ago levels.
No new total consumption records expected before late in the decade,
although OSB should set new records around mid-decade.
Effective operating capacity is substantially lower than name-plate. As
demand recovers, capacity will come back on-stream in lagged response.
Current market conditions will postpone the re-start of capacity.
Ramp-up of currently operating mills to full capacity will largely meet the
rebound in demand through 2012; mothballed capacity unlikely to be reopened before 2013 at the earliest.
Average demand/capacity ratios rebounded in 2010, but are likely to move
sideways to lower through much of 2011 before again climbing in 2012.
Prices and profitability will be under downward pressure in the first half of
2011 unless production runs consistently below year-ago levels.

Conclusions: Nonstructural Panel Markets
March to Different Drummers
• Particleboard’s outlook is a lot less positive than that for MDF/HDF
– Even with an optimistic forecast for North American furniture
production, in-place particleboard capacity is excessive
– Without aggressive capacity closures, it will be difficult for
particleboard producers to gain pricing power over the next few years
– Production costs are worrisomely high relative to history, especially
outside the South; this could threaten industry’s competitive position
• MDF/HDF seem better positioned than particleboard but with
30%+ of that market served by off-shore imports, North American
producers are vulnerable to added off-shore competition
particularly if North American pricing proves attractive enough to
offset a weak US dollar.

Mexico’s Wood Panel Markets
40
Mexico’s Panel Markets Tumbled in 2009, But
Rebounded in 2010
• Strong growth in fiberboard consumption has offset weakness
in particleboard
• 2011 – Prognosis is positive providing Mexico’s domestic
economic growth remains healthy
– Export opportunities will be limited by slow US recovery and weakening
US dollar
– Mexico’s plywood and particleboard producers most at risk; growing
import threats and loss of market share (also to other types of panels)?
– Fiberboard and OSB imports represent major growth opportunities
– Will Mexican particleboard production recover to match past peaks?

Miscellaneous Considerations:
Brazil and Chile
49
Brazil and Chile Have Enjoyed Healthy Growth
Despite Recession and Earthquakes …
• Fiscal stimulus and the run-up to an election boosted Brazil’s
economy strongly, especially in the first half of 2010
• Chile has been quick to recover from the February
earthquake; growth in 2011 will outpace 2010 as rebuilding
provides significant economic stimulus to the whole
economy
• Ramp-up of new MDP and MDF capacity in Brazil has been
controlled; consequently pricing held up well, at least
through mid-year
– Further industry shakeout and consolidation? Slower economic
growth in 2011 could result in another wave of M&A

Conclusions: Latin America
• The Great Recession so far has done surprisingly
minimal damage to Latin America’s wood panel markets
• MEXICO’s panel markets have been hurt more than most
but are in a healthy recovery which should persist at
least through 2011
• Domestic market growth will be key to sustained
increases in panel consumption in Mexico, Brazil and
elsewhere in Latin America
• Fastest growth in panel markets will be in MDF/HDF and
OSB
• Chilean producers will buck the weak overall trend in
plywood output as capacity expands further
