Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
With index prices for commodity wood products declining more than 25% since early April, Boise Cascade Company ("Boise Cascade") expects second quarter 2013 earnings per share to range from $0.11 to $0.21, based on 43.2 million weighted average shares outstanding. In addition, Boise Cascade expects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to range from $21.0 to $28.0 million and net income to range from $4.6 to $9.0 million for second quarter 2013. See table below for a reconciliation of segment income (loss) to EBITDA. On a consolidated basis, Boise Cascade reported EBITDA of $33.0 million and $28.2 million in first quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012, respectively.
Boise Cascade expects EBITDA for its Wood Products segment to range from $24.0 to $28.0 million. This range compares to the $27.1 million reported for first quarter 2013 and the $21.7 million reported for second quarter 2012.
As a result of increased demand, sales in our Building Materials Distribution segment (“BMD”) are expected to exceed the sales reported for first quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012; however, rapidly declining commodity prices throughout the quarter will negatively impact BMD segment gross margins, which include lower of cost or market write-downs of inventory. As a result, we expect BMD segment EBITDA for second quarter 2013 to range from $1.0 to $5.0 million. This range compares to the $10.2 million and the $10.9 million reported for first quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012, respectively.
Boise Cascade's Corporate and Other segment is expected to report negative EBITDA for second quarter 2013 of $4.0 to $5.0 million, as compared to the negative $4.2 million and negative $4.4 million reported for first quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012, respectively.
Estimates of results are inherently uncertain and subject to change, and Boise Cascade undertakes no obligation to update this information. The estimates set forth above may differ from actual results and were prepared by our management based on a number of assumptions. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, these preliminary estimates for the three months ending June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period.
Boise Cascade plans to report its second quarter 2013 earnings and host an earnings conference call on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. eastern.
