VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 30 (MARKET WIRE) — Canfor Corporation (TSX: CFP) today reported a net loss of $58.8 million($0.41 per share) for the first quarter of 2009, compared to a net lossof $229.8 million ($1.61 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2008 and anet loss of $85.4 million ($0.60 per share) for the first quarter of 2008.The net loss for the first quarter of 2009 included one-time itemsaffecting comparability with prior periods, which had an overall positiveimpact on net income of $19.4 million ($0.14 per share). and global economic downturn continued to affect theCompany’s financial results U.S. housing starts, which were already athistorically low levels, dropped a further 20% in the first quarter tothe lowest level since records began in 1959. With orders in shortsupply, lumber prices receded further in the quarter, with Western SPFprices falling as low as US$134 per thousand board feet in January beforerecovering slightly towards the end of the quarter.

Pulp markets weresimilarly impacted by very weak demand, and prices were under severepressure through the quarter.In response to the very difficult conditions, the Company significantlycurtailed its lumber production during the quarter, operating atapproximately 60% of capacity. Compared to the last quarter of 2008,lumber production was down by 95 million board feet. Market-relateddowntime was also taken at the Company’s Taylor Pulp mill and at CanforPulp Limited Partnership (“CPLP”), in which Canfor holds a 50.2% interest.Canfor reported negative EBITDA of $84.6 million in the first quarter, adeterioration of $54.4 million from the previous quarter. Weaker prices,lower shipments and inventory value write-downs resulting from theseasonal build of logs in Canada ahead of spring break-up (when no logdeliveries are possible), as well as a lumber export tax refund in theprevious quarter, accounted for the majority of the variance.

However,the Company held its lumber unit production costs at previous quarterlevels despite the lower operating rates. Compared to the same quarter of2008, lumber unit production costs were down 7% despite an additional 250million board feet of curtailment.In early March, the Company repaid $100 million of long-term debt, andended the quarter with cash of $155 million, and $446 million of unusedand available operating lines of credit. Subsequent to the end of thequarter, on April 1, 2009, the Company repaid a further $76 million oflong-term debt.Commenting on the first quarter’s results, Jim Shepard, Canfor’sPresident and CEO, said: “Despite our success in driving controllablecosts down in the last year, the effects of the unprecedented challengespresented by the current economic downturn are very evident in ourresults.”Shepard said that he expected conditions to remain very difficult throughthe balance of 2009 and into 2010 for all of the Company’s products. Withno indications of any firm market recovery in the near future, Shepardsaid that Canfor was taking a series of further measures to conservecash. “We are targeting further significant reductions in workingcapital, and operating and overhead cash costs, and will be limitingspending on non-essential capital projects until market conditionsimprove,” said Shepard.
