INDUSTRY KEY STATISTICS
PRODUCT AND SERVICES SEGMENTATION (2017)
STEADY OUTLOOKThe structural wood products industry is at a mature stage with low revenue volatility. This is reflective of the truss manufacturing segment of the construction supply industry. Key drivers include:• Value of residential construction• Housing starts• Value of non-residential construction• Demand from furniture and related product
manufacturing• Canadian-dollar effective exchange rate
FRAGMENTATIONThe truss manufacturing segment of the construction supply industry is characterized by approximately 300 small regional operators with sales in the $3-5 million range headed by owner-managers with need for succession planning
OPPORTUNITYAtlas has become the preferred exit choice for many of these small operators, giving Atlas:• Profit opportunities from operational
efficiencies and scale procurement advantages, and expansive product distribution
• Transaction structure and prices offer arbitrage opportunity as they transition from private ownership to a public structure
Waferboard, 29%
Structural wood products, 25%
Softwood veneer and plywood, 21%
Particleboard and fibreboard, 20%
Hardwood veneer and plywood, 5%
