NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the "Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015 .

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August which historically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. For comparative purposes, we have included the June 27, 2015 balances in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.


B.	FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets measured at fair value are as follows:



	June 25, 2016						June 27, 2015

We maintain money market, mutual funds, bonds, and/or stocks in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and our wholly owned licensed captive insurance company. These funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are included in "Cash and Cash Equivalents", "Investments", and "Other Assets". We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

We did not maintain any Level 3 assets or liabilities at June 25, 2016 or June 27, 2015 .

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

In accordance with our investment policy, our wholly-owned captive, Ardellis Insurance Ltd. ("Ardellis"), maintains an investment portfolio, totaling $9.7 million as of June 25, 2016 , consisting of mutual funds, domestic and international stocks, and fixed income bonds.

C.	REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer. Generally, title passes at the time of shipment. In certain circumstances, the customer takes title when the shipment arrives at the destination. However, our shipping process is typically completed the same day.

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using percentage-of-completion accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations. Under percentage-of-completion using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under percentage-of-completion using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent. Construction contract revenue decreased to approximately $30.9 million , during the second quarter of 2016, from $33.9 million during the same period of 2015. Construction contract revenue was approximately $61.4 million and $58.7 million through the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, labor rates and commodity costs. During the year, we update our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and recognize losses to the extent that they exist.

The following table presents the balances of percentage-of-completion accounts which are included in “Other current assets” and “Accrued liabilities: Other”, respectively (in thousands):

E. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

We own and operate a number of facilities throughout the United States that chemically treat lumber products. In connection with the ownership and operation of these and other real properties, and the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may, under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, be potentially liable for removal and remediation costs, as well as other potential costs, damages, and expenses. Environmental reserves, calculated with no discount rate, have been established to cover remediation activities at wood preservation facilities in Stockertown, PA; Elizabeth City, NC; Auburndale, FL; and Medley, FL. In addition, a reserve was established for our facility in Thornton, CA to remove certain lead containing materials which existed on the property at the time of purchase.

On a consolidated basis, we have reserved approximately $3.4 million on June 25, 2016 and June 27, 2015 , representing the estimated costs to complete future remediation efforts. These amounts have not been reduced by an insurance receivable.

Many of our wood treating operations utilize "Subpart W" drip pads, defined as hazardous waste management units by the Environmental Protection Agency. The rules regulating drip pads require that a pad be “closed” at the point that it is no longer intended to be used for wood treating operations or to manage hazardous waste. Closure involves identification and disposal of contaminants which are required to be removed from the facility. The cost of closure is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, identification and removal of contaminants, cleanup standards that vary from state to state, and the time period over which the cleanup would be completed. Based on our present knowledge of existing circumstances, it is considered probable that these costs will approximate $0.6 million. As a result, this amount is recorded in other long-term liabilities on June 25, 2016 .

In February 2014, one of our operations was served with a federal grand jury subpoena from the Southern District of New York. The subpoena was issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The subpoena requested documents relating to a developer and construction projects for which our operation had provided materials and labor. Following receipt of the subpoena, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors retained outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation and respond to the subpoena. The Company cooperated in all respects with the US Attorney's Office, complied with this subpoena and voluntarily provided additional information. As a result of the internal investigation, in April 2014, two Company employees were terminated

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

for violating the Company’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics. In May 2015, those ex-employees were indicted by the grand jury. In April 2016, one of the two former employees pled guilty to four of the charges included in the indictment. In May 2016, the other former employee was found guilty by a jury on four of the charges included in the indictment. The Company has not been named as a target and continues to cooperate with the US Attorney's Office in this matter; however, because of the duration and unique nature of this proceeding, any potential, adverse financial implications to the Company are uncertain.

In addition, on June 25, 2016 , we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On June 25, 2016 , we had outstanding purchase commitments on commenced capital projects of approximately $19.0 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our operations, we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances we are required to post payment and performance bonds to insure the project owner that the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims made against the bonds. As of June 25, 2016 we had no outstanding payment and performance bonds for open projects. We had approximately $1.7 million in payment and performance bonds outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On June 25, 2016 , we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $25.5 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $15.7 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all industrial development revenue bonds that have been issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $9.8 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of Universal Forest Products, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2012 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the second quarter of 2016 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

G.	SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company operates manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities throughout North America, but primarily in the United States. The Company manages the operations of its individual locations primarily through a geographic reporting structure under which each location is included in a region and regions are included in our North, South, and West divisions. The exceptions to this geographic reporting and management structure are (a) the Company's Alternative Materials Division, which offers a portfolio of non-wood products and distributes those products nation-wide and (b) the Company's distribution unit (referred to as UFPD) which distributes a variety of products to the manufactured housing industry and is accounted for as a reporting unit within the North segment.

With respect to the facilities in the north, south, and west segments, these facilities generally supply the three markets the Company serves nationally - Retail, Industrial, and Construction. Also, substantially all of our facilities support customers in the immediate geographical region surrounding the facility.

Our Alternative Materials and International divisions have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes unallocated administrative costs and certain incentive compensation expense.

H.	INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 35.3% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 37.4% for same period of 2015 . Our effective tax rate was 35.0% in the first six months of 2016 compared to 37.0% in 2015 , primarily due to the extension of the research & development tax credit along with other credits that Congress did not extend until the end of 2015, which are not reflected in the 2015 second quarter and first six month's tax rates.


I.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to our financial statement close date of June 25, 2016 and prior to our filing date of July 27, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Idaho Western Inc., for approximately $11 million . Idaho Western Inc. had $21 million in 2015 annual sales and supplies customers in the Northwest with products ranging from lumber and plywood to siding and doors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Universal Forest Products, Inc. is a holding company that provides capital, management and administrative resources to subsidiaries that supply wood, wood composite and other products to three markets: retail, industrial, and construction.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Founded in 1955, the Company is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich., with affiliates throughout North America and Australia. For more about Universal Forest Products, go to www.ufpi.com .

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; and our ability to make successful business acquisitions. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of 2016 results.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the second quarter of 2016 were impacted by the following:


•	Our gross sales increased by 4% compared to the second quarter of 2015, which was comprised of a 3% increase in unit sales and a 1% increase in selling prices due to the commodity lumber market (See Historical Lumber Prices). Our unit sales increased to the retail and construction markets and more than offset a decline in unit sales to the industrial market.

•

Our operating profits increased by over 21%, and our operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 6.2% from 5.3%, comparing the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. These improvements primarily resulted from a combination of organic unit sales growth and leveraging fixed costs, favorable improvements in product sales mix, and opportunistic buying resulting in lower lumber costs relative to our selling prices in certain product lines.

HISTORICAL LUMBER PRICES

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers ("Lumber Market"). The following table presents the Random Lengths framing lumber composite price:

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Our material costs as a percentage of sales were 66.9% and 69.8% as of June 25, 2016 , and June 27, 2015 , respectively, and lumber comprises approximately 59% of material costs.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

•

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products such as deck components and fencing sold to retail customers, as well as trusses, wall panels and other components sold to the construction market, and most industrial packaging products. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time or are based upon a specific quantity. In order to maintain margins and reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers for these sales commitments. Also, the time period and quantity limitations generally allow us to re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers.

•

Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar "adder" to cover conversion costs and profits. These products primarily include treated lumber, remanufactured lumber, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers' needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. For these products, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

Changes in the trend of lumber prices have their greatest impact on the following products:

•

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprises approximately 20% of our total sales. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, trusses sold to the manufactured housing market, and other similar products, due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through vendor consignment inventory programs. ( Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. )


•	Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices by locking in costs.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.



	Period 1			Period 2
Lumber cost	$	300		$	400
Conversion cost	50			50
= Product cost	350			450
Adder	50			50
= Sell price	$	400		$	500
Gross margin	12.5		%	10.0		%

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits, but does impact our margins. Gross margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We completed one business acquisition during the first six months of 2016 and two during all of 2015. The annual revenue attributable to the acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2015 was approximately $16.6 million and $11.1 million, respectively. These business combinations were not significant to our operating results individually or in aggregate and thus pro forma results for 2015 are not presented.

See Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note F, "Business Combinations" for additional information.

GROSS SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products for national home centers and other retailers; engineered wood components, structural lumber, and other products for manufactured housing, residential and commercial construction; and specialty wood packaging, components and packing materials for various industries. Our long-term sales objectives include:


•	Diversifying our end market sales mix by increasing sales of specialty wood packaging to industrial users, increasing our penetration of the commercial construction market, increasing our sales of engineered wood components and complimentary products for custom home, multi-family, military and light commercial construction, and increasing our market share with independent retailers.


•	Expanding geographically in our core businesses, domestically and internationally.

•

Increasing sales of “value-added” products, which primarily consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold to the retail market, specialty wood packaging, engineered wood components, and “wood alternative” products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist primarily of composite wood and plastics. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber, which comprises approximately 20% of our total sales, is not presently included in value-added sales.

•

Developing new products and expanding our product offering for existing customers. New product sales were $91.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $83.6 million during the second quarter of 2015. New product sales year-to-date for 2016 and 2015 were $160.7 million and $135.6 million, respectively. Certain prior year product reclassifications resulted in an increase in new product sales in 2015.


•	Maximizing unit sales growth while achieving return on investment goals.

Note: During 2016, certain customers were reclassified to a different market. Prior year information has been restated to reflect these changes.

Gross sales in the second quarter of 2016 increased over 4% compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 3% increase in unit sales and a 1% increase in selling prices primarily due to the Lumber Market.

Gross sales in the first six months of 2016 increased 6% compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 7% increase in unit sales offset by a 1% decrease in overall selling prices primarily due to the Lumber Market.

Changes in our gross sales by market are discussed below.

Retail :

Gross sales to the retail market increased 7.5% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 5% increase in unit sales and a 3% increase in selling prices. Within this market, sales to our big box customers increased over 8% and sales to other retailers increased almost 6%. Our retail customers have benefited from improving consumer demand, as evidenced by their reported increases in same store sales. In addition, we gained market share with certain customers and increased our sales of new products with these customers. Our rate of unit sales growth declined from our first quarter to our second quarter in 2016, which we believe was due to the impact of favorable weather early in the year driving demand.

Gross sales to the retail market increased by over 11% in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 10% increase in unit sales and a 1% increase in overall selling prices. Within this market, sales to our big box customers increased over 12% while our sales to other retailers increased 9% due to the same factors discussed above.

Industrial :

Gross sales to the industrial market decreased approximately 3% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, resulting from a 2% decrease in unit sales and a 1% decrease in selling prices. We believe that demand of our existing customers has softened in 2016 as evidenced by a reported decline in U.S. industrial production due, in part, to a strong U.S. dollar and reduction of exports. In addition, we have been more selective in the business that we pursue by being more focused on higher margin value-added products.

Gross sales to the industrial market decreased approximately 3% in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 1% increase in unit sales offset by a 4% decrease in selling prices. The overall decrease was primarily due to the same factors discussed above.

Construction:

Gross sales to the construction market increased over 6% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. The increase was due to a 5% increase in unit sales and a 1% increase in our selling prices. Our increase in unit sales was driven by a 10% increase to residential construction customers, a 4% increase to commercial construction customers, offset by a 1% decrease to manufactured housing customers. By comparison (and based upon various industry publications):


•	Non-residential construction activity in April and May increased approximately 1.6%.


•	National housing starts increased approximately 6.7% in the period from March through May 2016 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month) compared to the same period of 2015.


•	Production of HUD-code homes in April and May 2016 were up 13.3% compared to 2015.


•	Modular home production increased by 11.7% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Gross sales to the construction market increased approximately 8% in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, due to a 9% increase in unit sales, offset by a 1% decrease in selling prices. Our increase in unit sales was primarily due to the same reasons discussed above.

Value-Added and Commodity-Based Sales:

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales. Value-added products generally carry higher gross margins than our commodity-based products.



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 25, 2016		June 27, 2015		June 25, 2016		June 27, 2015
Value-Added	60.3	%	59.4	%	60.6	%	58.7	%
Commodity-Based	39.7	%	40.6	%	39.4	%	41.3	%

COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT

Our gross margin increased to 15.1% from 13.4% comparing the second quarter of 2016 to the same period of 2015. Our gross profit dollars increased by $19.0 million, or 16.9%, which compares favorably to our 3% increase in unit sales. The improvement in our profitability in the second quarter of 2016 was attributable to the following factors:


•	$2.1 million of our gross profit increase was due to unit sales growth and a slight improvement in margin on sales to our residential construction customers.


•	$11.4 million of our gross profit increase was attributable to our unit sales growth to the retail market and an improvement in margin on these sales due, in part, to new products.


•	$2.5 million of our gross profit improvement was due to margin improvements on our sales to the industrial market resulting from improvements in our sales mix of more value-added products and lower lumber costs from opportunistic buying relative to our selling prices.

Our gross profit margin increased to 15.1% from 13.0% comparing the first six months of 2016 to the same period of 2015. Our gross profit dollars increased by $42.2 million, or 22.0%, which compares favorably to our 7% increase in unit sales. This improvement is primarily due to the same factors discussed above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by approximately $9.3 million, or 13.6%, in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, while we reported a 3% increase in unit sales. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in compensation and benefit costs, a $4.2 million increase in incentive and accrued bonus compensation resulting from an improvement in our profitability, and several other smaller increases driven, in part, by our unit sales growth.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by approximately $18.5 million, or 14.2%, in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, while we reported a 7% increase in unit sales. SG&A expenses were impacted in the first six months of 2016 by the same factors discussed above.

Our "core" SG&A expenses, excluding accrued bonus expense, were $62.4 million and $64.2 million in the first and second quarters of 2016, respectively.

INTEREST, NET

Net interest costs were lower in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, due to lower debt levels in 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, a summary of our cash flow statement (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	87,756			—
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	87,517		$	24,756

In general, we financed our growth in the past through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital due to our primary selling season which occurs during the period from March to August. Consequently, our working capital increases during our first and second quarter resulting in negative or modest cash flows from operations during those periods. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital once we move beyond our peak selling season which typically results in significant cash flows from operations in our third and fourth quarters.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. As indicated in the table below, our cash cycle decreased to 48 days in the first six months of 2016 from 56 days in the first six months of 2015.

weather early in the year and expected industry transportation challenges. The 17% improvement in our days supply of inventory during the first six months of 2016 was due, in part, to strong customer demand, particularly in our retail market which typically requires a greater investment in inventory than our other markets, and certain improvements in inventory management. Each of our operating segments achieved significant improvements in their days supply of inventory. Our North, West, and South segments improved their days supply of inventory by 15%, 19%, and 16%, respectively, through the first six months of 2016.

In the first six months of 2016, our cash flows from operating activities was $40.0 million, which was comprised of net earnings of $54.5 million and $21.4 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $35.9 million seasonal increase in working capital since the end of December 2015. The increase in our working capital primarily consisted of a 43% increase in our accounts receivable, since the end of December 2015, due to higher sales levels in June of 2016 compared to December 2015, offset by a 33% increase on our accounts payable, since the end of December 2015, due to a higher level of purchases in June 2016 compared to December 2015 as we prepared for our primary selling season.

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment comprised most of our cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2016 and totaled $24.3 million. We currently plan to spend $70 to $75 million in 2016 on these and similar capital items. Outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaled approximately $19.0 million on June 25, 2016. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year.

Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate businesses to acquire that are complimentary to our existing Retail, Industrial, and Construction businesses, as well as new businesses that offer attractive growth and return on investment opportunities. Our current objective is to deploy approximately $100 million to $200 million of capital in 2016 to fund acquisitions. While a variety of factors beyond our control impact our ability to achieve this goal, we are actively evaluating and considering a number of targeted acquisition opportunities.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of $8.5 million for dividends paid in June at $0.42 per share and $1.7 million of distributions to our partners that own a non-controlling interest in certain of our subsidiaries.

On June 25, 2016, we had no outstanding balance on our $295 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also supports letters of credit totaling approximately $9.8 million on June 25, 2016, thus, we have $285 million in remaining availability on our revolver after considering letters of credit. Additionally, we have $150 million in availability under a "shelf agreement" for long term debt with a current lender. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all our covenant requirements on June 25, 2016.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATIONS

See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note E, "Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 26, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk .

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the "Lumber Market"). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . With the participation of management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e) as of the quarter ended June 25, 2016 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


(b)	Changes in Internal Controls . During the quarter ended June 25, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
