"We had strong performance in the third quarter, generating $49 million in free cash flow and setting sales and earnings records in our packaging business," said Alexander Toeldte, president and chief executive officer of Boise Inc. "Despite increased input costs, our paper business results were also solid and benefited from improved office paper pricing.

"In October, we announced the acquisition of Hexacomb, a leader in honeycomb protective packaging products. Hexacomb has demonstrated strong growth, expands our position in protective packaging markets, and steps up our vertical integration. In our packaging business, the integration of Tharco is progressing well, and in our paper business, we grew sales volumes of our packaging demand-driven and premium office papers 5% over the prior-year quarter.
"In September, we completed the $75 million share repurchase program we announced in August and authorized a second $75 million repurchase program. Over the last twelve months, we have returned over $165 million in cash to shareholders through share repurchases and special dividends. We continue to look for ways to return capital to shareholders when our performance and outlook create the appropriate opportunity."
Sales
Total sales for third quarter 2011 were $631.7 million, up $77.6 million, or 14%, from $554.1 million for third quarter 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of Tharco Packaging, which was completed in March 2011, as well as higher net selling prices for linerboard, newsprint, and corrugated products. Total sales for third quarter were up $28.6 million, or 5%, from second quarter 2011 sales of $603.1 million, driven by higher prices for uncoated freesheet and increased sales volumes of corrugated products.
Prices and Volumes
Uncoated freesheet net selling prices were flat for third quarter 2011, compared with third quarter 2010, and increased 3%, compared with second quarter 2011, driven by improved pricing across our cut-size office papers. Total uncoated freesheet sales volumes were 312,000 short tons for third quarter 2011, a decrease of 2% versus the prior-year period and flat versus second quarter 2011.
Corrugated container and sheet sales volumes improved 31% during third quarter 2011, compared with third quarter 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of Tharco. Corrugated sales volumes increased 3%, compared with second quarter 2011, driven by seasonally stronger demand in agricultural markets. Corrugated container and sheet prices increased 18% during third quarter 2011, compared with third quarter 2010, driven primarily by product mix changes due to the Tharco acquisition, and increased 1% sequentially from second quarter 2011.
Compared with third quarter 2010, linerboard net selling prices to third parties increased 7% for third quarter 2011, due to price increases realized during the latter part of 2010. Linerboard net selling prices were flat, compared with second quarter 2011. Linerboard sales volumes to third parties were 55,000 short tons in third quarter 2011, up 15%, compared with third quarter 2010, driven by increased production of linerboard and solid demand in linerboard export markets. Linerboard sales volumes to third parties were flat sequentially from second quarter 2011.
Input Costs
Total fiber, energy, and chemical costs for third quarter 2011 were $259.6 million, an increase of $33.5 million, or 15%, compared with costs of $226.1 million for third quarter 2010. This increase was driven primarily by fiber costs associated with Tharco in our Packaging segment and higher fiber and chemical costs in our Paper segment. Costs for chemicals and fiber also increased sequentially from second quarter 2011 to third quarter 2011.

Total fiber costs during third quarter 2011 were $143.7 million, an increase of $24.6 million, or 21%, compared with $119.1 million in third quarter 2010. This was driven primarily by increased purchased containerboard roll stock costs related to the Tharco acquisition in our Packaging segment and increased fiber and chemical costs in our Paper segment. These costs were offset partially by lower wood prices in our Packaging segment. Fiber costs increased $6.0 million, or 4%, compared with $137.7 million in second quarter 2011, driven primarily by increased production in the Paper segment. Second quarter 2011 included annual shutdowns at three mills.

2



Energy costs in third quarter 2011 were $52.2 million, a slight decrease, compared with third quarter 2010 and second quarter 2011, due to lower prices for natural gas that were offset partially by increased prices for electricity and increased production.
Chemical costs in third quarter 2011 were $63.8 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 17%, compared with $54.6 million in third quarter 2010, and an increase of $7.2 million, or 13%, from $56.6 million in second quarter 2011, a result of increased prices for commodity chemicals.
Selling and distribution costs were $29.8 million in third quarter 2011, an increase of $15.9 million, compared with $13.9 million in third quarter 2010, due primarily to incremental expenses from Tharco's operations. Selling and distributions costs increased slightly from $29.5 million in second quarter 2011.

Summary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Segment Information
The Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Segment Information do not include all Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011, as well as other reports the Company files with the SEC. Net income for all periods presented involved estimates and accruals.
1.
On March 1, 2011, our wholly owned subsidiary Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C., acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Tharco Packaging, Inc. (Tharco) for a preliminary purchase price of $201.3 million plus or minus working capital adjustments. We financed the acquisition with existing cash and $75 million in borrowings on our revolving credit facility. For more information, including an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on our estimates of the fair value at the date of the acquisition, see Note 2, Acquisition of Tharco Packaging, Inc., of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in our September 30, 2011, Form 10-Q.
The consolidated financial statements included herein include Tharco for the period of March 1 through September 30, 2011, in the Packaging segment. In connection with the acquisition, we recognized $2.2 million of expense related to inventory purchase accounting adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
2.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Boise Inc. warrant holders exercised 40.3 million warrants, resulting in the issuance of 38.4 million additional common shares. During 2011, we received cash proceeds of approximately $284.8 million, which increased “Additional paid-in capital” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010, and is recorded in “Proceeds from exercise of warrants” in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
3.
During third quarter 2011, we announced our intent to repurchase up to $150 million of our common stock through a variety of methods, including in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or through structured share repurchases. As of September 30, 2011, we repurchased 13.4 million common shares at an average price of $5.71 per share, and as of October 31, 2011, we had repurchased 15.0 million common shares at an average price of $5.65 per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, share repurchases decreased weighted average shares included in the basic and diluted net income per share calculation by 4.3 million and 1.4 million, respectively. All shares repurchased are recorded as "Treasury stock" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and "Repurchases of common stock" on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As part of our $150 million repurchase program, on September 14, 2011, we entered into an equity yield enhancement program that, upon maturity, could result in the repurchase of up to $25 million of our common stock. Under the program, we paid a financial institution $25 million in consideration for the financial institution's obligation to pay us cash or shares of our common stock, depending on the closing market price of our common stock when the agreement expires in December 2011.
4.
The nine months ended September 30, 2010, included $22.2 million of expense related to a loss on the extinguishment of debt.
5.
This release contains several financial measures that are not measures under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures include EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items, net income excluding special items, net total debt, and other similar measures. Management uses these measures to evaluate ongoing operations and believes they are useful to investors because they enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results. The tables that follow reconcile these non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
