Today, FBIN announced the start of a formal strategic review process for its Fiberon Matthew Bouley

business, timeline unknown (link). We believe management continues to focus on several +1 212 526 9029

near-term priorities (improving its e-commerce channel, leveraging SG&A/productivity, price matthew.bouley@barclays.com

actions, re-focusing on core brands); we view this announcement positively as management BCI, US
