Boise Cascade Expands Partnership with James Hardie
Boise Cascade (BCC) and James Hardie Building Products, a wholly-owned subsidiary of James Hardie Industries (JHX), announced an expansion of their partnership under which Boise Cascade's Building Materials Distribution division will become the sole nationwide distributor of James Hardie's and its North American affiliates' complete portfolio of exterior building products through its extensive network of strategically located distribution facilities across the United States, effective July 31, 2026. Under the expanded agreement, Boise Cascade will distribute James Hardie's comprehensive portfolio of products - including Hardie siding and trim, and now adding AZEK trim and moulding and TimberTech decking and railing - through its nationwide network of distribution centers. As the two companies fully align their focus and resources, Boise Cascade will transition away from distributing competitive siding, trim, and exterior moulding products.
James Hardie Raises Q1 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook to $399M-$407M
Consensus $1.34B. Raises Q1 adjusted EBITDA view to $399M-$407M from $354M-$375M. Aaron Erter, CEO of James Hardie said, "Our first quarter results are expected to exceed our prior guidance, primarily as a result of better-than-expected sales in Siding & Trim. Siding & Trim net sales reflected strong sell-through and underlying demand for our products. Our performance in Deck, Rail & Accessories was driven by channel inventory normalization and sell-through that improved throughout the quarter. We are pleased with our fiscal first quarter preliminary results. We believe our performance reflects our team's execution and growth above market, rather than a meaningful improvement in the overall U.S. housing market. That said, we are encouraged by the positive traction from our initiatives to grow our fiber cement business, continued conversion in decking and the positive contribution from sales and cost synergies. We will provide an update on our full year guidance with our first quarter earnings call."
