For the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011, sales volumes were up 11 percent with sales price increasing by 50 percent. The increase in sales price accounted for approximately a $71 million increase in both operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

For the third quarter, LP reported $24 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for this segment, an increase of $9 million compared to the third quarter of 2011.

COMPANY OUTLOOK
