In first quarter 2016, total and single-family U.S. housing starts increased approximately 14% and 22%, respectively, from the same period last year. Total U.S. housing starts from the April 2016 Blue Chip consensus forecast for 2016 and 2017 reflect 1.23 million and 1.35 million, respectively, or expected annual increases of 11% and 10%.

“We completed the previously announced acquisition of the Thorsby and Roxboro engineered lumber facilities on the last day of the quarter. I am pleased to welcome the new employees to Boise Cascade. The acquisition represents a major step forward in supporting the ongoing growth of our EWP customers. We are focused on successfully integrating the new operations into our manufacturing system and distribution networks,"



stated Tom Corrick, CEO. "Our first quarter operating results reflected strong volume growth in our engineered wood product lines. We still face an oversupply situation in our plywood business, but pricing did stabilize during the first quarter. Our distribution business had an outstanding performance in the quarter, posting strong revenue and earnings growth across their product lines. We expect modest growth in residential housing construction for the balance of the year, which should drive additional demand for our products and services."

Wood Products

Sales, including sales to BMD, decreased $5.9 million, or 2%, to $303.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $309.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in sales was driven primarily by decreases in plywood and lumber sales prices, as well as a decrease in plywood sales volumes. These decreases were offset partially by increases in sales prices and volumes of laminated veneer lumber and I-joists (collectively EWP).

Wood Products EBITDA decreased $14.2 million to $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $31.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decline in EBITDA was due primarily to lower plywood and lumber sales prices, as well as acquisition related expenses of $3.5 million. These decreases were offset partially by improved sales volumes and prices of EWP, as well as lower log costs.

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

Building Materials Distribution

Sales increased $94.3 million, or 15%, to $717.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $622.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by sales volume increases of 19%, offset partially by a decrease in sales prices of 4%. By product line, commodity sales increased 12%, general line product sales increased 14%, and sales of EWP (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 25%.

BMD EBITDA increased $10.5 million to $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $16.9 million, including an improvement in gross margin percentage of 100 basis points, which was largely driven by upward trending dimension lumber prices in the second half of the quarter and stronger margin contribution within our general line products. These increases were offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses of $5.9 million.

Corporate and Other

Segment EBITDA was negative $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with negative $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change was due primarily to lower pension expense.

Recent Developments

On March 31, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Georgia-Pacific's engineered lumber production facilities located in Thorsby, Alabama, and Roxboro, North Carolina, for an aggregate purchase price of $215.6 million, subject to post-closing adjustments based upon a working capital target. We funded the acquisition and related costs with cash on hand, a new $75.0 million term loan, and a $55.0 million draw under our revolving credit facility.

Balance Sheet

Boise Cascade ended the first quarter with $81.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $288.9 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $370.1 million. The Company reported $474.4 million of outstanding debt at March 31, 2016.

During first quarter 2016, the Company repurchased 180,100 shares of its common stock for $2.6 million, or an average of $14.62 per share.

Outlook

The Company expects its capital expenditures during 2016 to be $85-$95 million, inclusive of costs associated with the restart of laminated veneer lumber production at the newly acquired Roxboro, North Carolina facility.

As in recent years, we expect to continue to experience modest demand growth for the products we manufacture and distribute in 2016, and we remain optimistic that the overall improvement in demand for our products will continue as household formation rates and residential construction recover to historic trend levels. Future commodity product pricing could be volatile in response to industry operating rates, net import and export activity, inventory levels in our distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns. We expect to manage our production levels to our sales demand, which will likely result in operating some of our facilities below their capacity until demand further improves.

Basis of Presentation

We refer to the term EBITDA in this earnings release as a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is 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, interest income, and change in fair value of interest rate swaps), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides 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 it is 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. We believe EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it presents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of EBITDA instead of net income or segment income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, 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 measure of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.
