“We reported another quarter with strong engineered wood products sales growth from the combined capabilities of our manufacturing and distribution businesses. We continue to believe that our expanded manufacturing footprint allows us to support the growth of our customers in both businesses and provides a unique value proposition in the marketplace," commented Tom Corrick, CEO. "We remain focused on growing our internal veneer production and using an increasing percentage of our veneer for high-value EWP production. Beyond EWP, the overall demand and commodity price environment provided some tailwinds in the first quarter, and I am pleased with the financial results.”




In first quarter 2017, total U.S. housing starts increased by approximately 8% compared to the same period last year. Single-family starts, which are the primary driver of our sales, increased approximately 6% and multi-family starts increased approximately 13% in first quarter 2017.

Wood Products

Wood Products sales, including sales to Building Materials Distribution (BMD), increased $22.2 million, or 7%, to $325.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $303.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in sales was driven primarily by increases in sales volumes of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and I-joists (collectively EWP). These EWP volume increases were due primarily to increased penetration with existing customers, as well as improved single-family housing starts. In addition, sales price increases in plywood and lumber contributed to the increase in sales. These increases were offset by decreases in plywood and lumber sales volumes. With strong demand for EWP, we have shifted a higher proportion of our internally produced veneer into EWP production, resulting in the decline in plywood production and sales volumes. Sales prices for LVL and I-joists were slightly lower compared with the same period in the prior year.

Wood Products segment income increased $1.5 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in segment income was due primarily to higher plywood and lumber sales prices, as well as improved sales volumes of EWP. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $3.5 million of acquisition-related expenses. These improvements were offset partially by higher OSB costs used in the manufacture of I-joists, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs resulting from lower plywood and lumber sales volumes. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.5 million due primarily to the acquisition, and other capital expenditures.

Comparative average net selling prices and sales volume changes for EWP, plywood, and lumber are as follows:

Building Materials Distribution

BMD sales increased $98.4 million, or 14%, to $815.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $717.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by sales volume and sales price increases of 9% and 5%, respectively. By product line, commodity sales increased 12%, general line product sales increased 12%, and sales of EWP (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 22%.

BMD segment income increased $6.6 million to $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The improvement in income was driven primarily by a gross margin increase of $12.9 million generated from a sales increase of 14% and a 20 basis point improvement in gross margin percentage, offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses of $5.3 million.

Balance Sheet

Boise Cascade ended the first quarter with $43.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $394.0 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $437.5 million. The Company had $437.9 million of outstanding debt at March 31, 2017.

Outlook

As in recent years, we expect to continue to experience modest demand growth for the products we manufacture and distribute in 2017, with seasonally stronger sales volumes in the second and third quarters. As of April 2017, the Blue Chip consensus forecast for 2017 reflects 1.28 million total U.S. housing starts, a 9% expected increase from 2016 levels. We expect to manage our production levels to our sales demand, which will likely result in operating some of our facilities below their capacity as we did in 2016, and also expect plywood sales volumes to be below prior year levels as we shift more veneer away from plywood in support of our EWP growth. Future commodity product pricing could be volatile in response to industry operating rates, net import and export activity, the North American softwood lumber trade dispute, inventory levels in our distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.

Basis of Presentation

As of January 1, 2017, we operate our business using two reportable segments: Wood Products and Building Materials Distribution. Prior to January 1, 2017, we operated our business using three reportable segments: Wood Products, Building Materials Distribution, and Corporate and Other. This change is based on Corporate and Other no longer earning revenue as of January 1, 2017 and thus no longer meeting the definition of a reportable segment. Corporate and Other results are now presented as reconciling items to arrive at total net sales and operating income. Corresponding information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 has been revised to conform with current presentation.    

We refer to the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this earnings release as supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). We define EBITDA as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Additionally, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and loss on extinguishment of debt.


3


We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures because they present a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allow management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We also believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they provide a means to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and our Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our management and because they are frequently used by investors and other interested parties when comparing companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, however, are not measures of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income or segment income (loss) have limitations as analytical tools, including the inability to determine profitability; the exclusion of interest expense, interest income, and associated significant cash requirements; and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent unavoidable operating costs. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results. Our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements about our expectations of future operational and financial performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to revise them in light of new information. Finally, we undertake no obligation to review or confirm analyst expectations or estimates that might be derived from this release.
