Comments

Doyle R. Simons, chairman and chief executive officer of Temple-Inland Inc., said, “We delivered solid operating results in fourth quarter 2008.

“In Corrugated Packaging, fourth quarter 2008 was our most profitable quarter of the year. We operated well and benefited from our box plant transformation, acquisition of PBL, higher box prices and lower input costs. We took 108,000 tons of mill downtime in the quarter to match our production to our demand as our box shipments were down approximately 7% compared with year ago levels. We enter 2009 with the lowest inventory levels in the last three years.

“In Building Products, shipments for all of our products declined in the fourth quarter due to difficult market conditions and the seasonal slowdown in demand. We took action in the quarter to further drive down our costs including exiting the hardboard siding business and reducing our headcount by an additional 11%. We also successfully introduced a new fiberglass-faced gypsum sheathing product, GreenGlass™, for use in commercial and residential applications during the quarter.

“As we enter 2009, economic conditions continue to be uncertain. However, the actions we took in 2008 to lower our cost structure significantly throughout our company, drive down our inventories and grow our business will serve us well in 2009.”
