By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Oct 17, 2025 · 07:45 IFP · 8.35 INTERFOR CORPORATION
IFP · Price

Executive Summary

  • Interfor announced revised Q4 2025 operating plans, cutting lumber production by ~250 million board feet (≈26%) due to weak market conditions.
  • The curtailments affect both Canadian and U.S. operations and represent an amendment to the September 4, 2025 curtailment announcement.
  • Production in Q2 2025 was 936 M bf and Q3 2025 was ~910 M bf; the new reductions will bring Q4 output well below these levels.

Key Details

  • Reduction of approximately 250 million board feet (≈26% vs. Q2 2025) for Q4 2025.
  • Curtailments are split roughly evenly between Interfor’s Canadian and U.S. operations (BC, Ontario, US Pacific Northwest, US South).
  • Prior production figures: 936 M board feet in Q2 2025; ≈910 M board feet in Q3 2025.
  • The announcement amends the September 4, 2025 curtailment plan previously disclosed.
  • CEO Ian Fillinger cited “persistently weak market conditions and ongoing economic uncertainty” as drivers for the reduced production.
  • Interfor will continue to monitor market conditions and may adjust production plans further as needed.
