Interfor (TSE:IFP) reported a sharp sequential improvement in first-quarter 2026 results, with management pointing to higher lumber prices, lower conversion costs and early benefits from a company-wide cost reduction program.
President and CEO Ian Fillinger said the lumber producer generated EBITDA of CAD 31 million in the quarter, up CAD 60 million from the fourth quarter of 2025. He said the improvement was driven by lumber price gains across all five regions, ranging from 5% to 20%, as well as lower conversion costs despite winter weather.
