The company was helped by higher log prices and volumes during the quarter, while softwood lumber duties were also reduced.
Western said it had completed restructuring following the acquisition of Cascadia Forest Products in May.

Western has an annual allowable cut of 7.7 million m3, with a lumber capacity exceeding 1.5 billion board feet from nine sawmills.
