Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements


1.	Nature of Operations and Consolidation

Nature of Operations

We are a building products company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade, L.L.C., and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to our conversion to a Delaware corporation and to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries on or after such conversion. On February 4, 2013, we converted to a Delaware corporation from a Delaware limited liability company by filing a certificate of conversion in Delaware. We are one of the largest producers of plywood and engineered wood products (EWP) in North America and a leading U.S. wholesale distributor of building products.

On February 11, 2013, we issued 13,529,412 shares of common stock in our initial public offering. Following the initial public offering, the common stock held by Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. (BC Holdings) represented 68.7% of our outstanding common stock. In the July 2013 and November 2013 secondary offerings, we registered a combined 18,050,000 shares of common stock sold by BC Holdings. Concurrent with the close of the July 2013 secondary offering, we also repurchased 3,864,062 shares of common stock from BC Holdings (the Repurchase). Following the secondary offerings and the Repurchase, the common stock held by BC Holdings represented 19.8% of our outstanding common stock. On March 3, 2014, BC Holdings distributed 7,785,938 shares of common stock to its members, including its controlling member Forest Products Holdings, L.L.C. (FPH), an entity controlled by Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P. (MDP). Following this distribution, BC Holdings does not own any shares of Boise Cascade’s common stock. All of the distributed shares were in turn distributed by FPH and MDP to their respective members and partners.

We operate our business using three reportable segments: (1) Wood Products, which manufactures plywood, EWP, studs, particleboard, and ponderosa pine lumber; (2) Building Materials Distribution, which is a wholesale distributor of building materials; and (3) Corporate and Other, which includes corporate support staff services, related assets and liabilities, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses. For more information, see Note 12, Segment Information.

Consolidation

The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as disclosed within these condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements, the adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The quarterly consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boise Cascade and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2013 Form 10-K and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies

The complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; legal contingencies; guarantee obligations; indemnifications; assumptions used in retirement benefits; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and vendor and customer rebates, among

Table of Contents

others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Vendor and Customer Rebates and Allowances

We receive rebates and allowances from our vendors under a number of different programs, including vendor marketing programs. At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had $3.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of vendor rebates and allowances recorded in "Receivables, Other" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rebates and allowances received from our vendors are recognized as a reduction of "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" when the product is sold, unless the rebates and allowances are linked to a specific incremental cost to sell a vendor's product. Amounts received from vendors that are linked to specific selling and distribution expenses are recognized as a reduction of "Selling and distribution expenses" in the period the expense is incurred.

We also provide rebates to our customers and our customers' customers based on the volume of their purchases. We provide the rebates to increase the sell-through of our products. The rebates are recorded as a decrease in "Sales." At both June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had $24.2 million of rebates payable to our customers recorded in "Accrued liabilities, Other" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Leases

We lease a portion of our distribution centers as well as other property and equipment under operating leases. For purposes of determining straight-line rent expense, the lease term is calculated from the date we first take possession of the facility, including any periods of free rent and any renewal option periods we are reasonably assured of exercising. Rental expense for operating leases was $4.6 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $8.5 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sublease rental income was not material in any of the periods presented.

Inventories include the following (work in process is not material):

Finished goods and work in process	$	336,417	$	292,218

	$	355,358		$	360,985

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) gives the highest priority to quoted market prices (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value (Level 1). If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value, we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2). If quoted prices for identical or similar assets are not available or are unobservable, we may use internally developed valuation models, whose inputs include bid prices, and third-party valuations utilizing underlying asset assumptions (Level 3).

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. Our cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, and our cash equivalents are money market funds measured at fair value. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we held $79.3 million and $85.8 million, respectively, in money market funds that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. The recorded values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values based on their short-term nature. At June 30, 2014, the book value of our fixed-rate debt was $300.0 million, and the fair value was estimated to be $321.0 million. The difference between the book value and the fair value is derived from the difference between the period-end market interest rate and the stated rate of our fixed-rate, long-term debt. We estimated the fair value based on quoted market prices for our debt (Level 1 measurement).

Concentration of Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk related to customer accounts receivable. In order to manage credit risk, we consider customer concentrations and current economic trends and monitor the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the receivables from a single customer accounted for approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, of total receivables. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total receivables.

Table of Contents

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this guidance are not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The provisions of this guidance are not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (Topic 740). This ASU requires that liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits offset deferred tax assets for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations in which a carryforward cannot be used or the deferred tax asset is not intended to be used for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be recorded as a liability and should not offset deferred tax assets. We adopted the provisions of this guidance January 1, 2014, and it had no effect on our financial position and results of operations.

There were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.


3.	Income Taxes

Income Tax Provision

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $14.3 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 35.1% and 35.7%, respectively. As a result of our conversion to a corporation in February 2013, we recorded net deferred tax assets of $68.7 million, the effect of which was recorded as an income tax benefit in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the discrete establishment of net deferred tax assets, we recorded $6.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 39.5% and 38.9%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the primary reasons for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and the effective tax rate were the effect of state taxes, offset partially by the domestic manufacturers' deduction and other tax credits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and the effective tax rate, excluding the deferred discrete item, was the effect of state taxes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, was $4.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

Income Tax Uncertainties

We recognize tax liabilities and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available or as new uncertainties occur. As of June 30, 2014, we had an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we do not expect a significant change over the

Table of Contents

next 12 months. We had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of December 31, 2013. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not record any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.


4.	Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the basic net income per common share calculation includes vested restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to nonemployee directors as there are no conditions under which those shares will not be issued. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares include the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and performance stock units (PSUs) for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share, the amount of compensation expense, if any, for future service that has not yet been recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital, if any, when the share is exercised are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:



	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30

The computation of the dilutive effect of other potential common shares excludes stock awards representing 0.3 million shares and 0.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and 0.2 million shares and 0.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these stock awards would have been antidilutive.


5.	Acquisitions

On September 30, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of both Chester Wood Products LLC and Moncure Plywood LLC (Wood Resources LLC Southeast Operations) for an aggregate purchase price of $103.0 million, including a post-closing adjustment of $1.0 million based upon a working capital target (the Acquisition).

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations as if the Wood Resources LLC Southeast Operations had been combined with us on January 1, 2013. The pro forma financial information also gives effect to the issuance of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.375% senior notes due November 1, 2020 (Senior Notes) on August 15, 2013, and the $25.0 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility to partially finance the Acquisition, as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma results are intended for information purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined companies' results of operations would actually have been had the related transactions in fact occurred on January 1, 2013. They also do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that we may achieve or the costs necessary to achieve those cost savings, operating synergies, revenue enhancements, or integration efforts.

Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility

Boise Cascade and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., are borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp. is guarantor under a $350 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are constrained by a borrowing base formula dependent upon levels of eligible receivables and inventory reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (Availability). On February 6, 2014, we entered into a sixth amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility that primarily provides more administrative flexibility and reduces the notice period we must provide to receive London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based advances under the facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, except for property and equipment. The proceeds of borrowings under the agreement are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility are based, at the company's election, on either LIBOR or a base rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a spread over the index elected that ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% for loans based on LIBOR and from 0.50% to 1.00% for loans based on the base rate. The spread is determined on the basis of a pricing grid that results in a higher spread as average quarterly Availability declines. Letters of credit are subject to a fronting fee payable to the issuing bank and a fee payable to the lenders equal to the LIBOR margin rate. In addition, we are required to pay an unused commitment fee at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum (based on facility utilization) of the average unused portion of the lending commitments.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary nonfinancial covenants, including a negative pledge covenant and restrictions on new indebtedness, investments, distributions to equityholders, asset sales, and affiliate transactions, the scope of which are dependent on the Availability existing from time to time. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains a requirement that we meet a 1:1 fixed-charge coverage ratio (FCCR) if Availability falls below 10% of the aggregate lending commitments (or $35 million). Availability exceeded the minimum threshold amounts required for testing of the FCCR at all times since entering into the Revolving Credit Facility, and Availability at June 30, 2014, was $342.0 million.

Table of Contents

The Revolving Credit Facility generally permits dividends only if certain conditions are met, including complying with either (i) pro forma Excess Availability (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) equal to or exceeding 25% of the aggregate Revolver Commitments (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) or (ii) (x) pro forma Excess Availability equal to or exceeding 15% of the aggregate Revolver Commitment and (y) a fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1:1 on a pro forma basis.

At both June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $8.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding. These letters of credit and borrowings, if any, reduced our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by an equivalent amount. The maximum borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility were $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average interest rate on borrowings was approximately 1.65%.

Senior Notes

On October 22, 2012, Boise Cascade and its wholly owned subsidiary, Boise Cascade Finance Corporation (Boise Finance and together with Boise Cascade, the Co-issuers), issued $250 million of Senior Notes through a private placement that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act). Interest on our Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1. On March 28, 2013, Boise Finance was merged with and into Boise Cascade, with Boise Cascade as the surviving entity and sole issuer of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or co-borrower under our Revolving Credit Facility.

On August 15, 2013, we issued an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private offering that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The additional $50 million of Senior Notes were priced at 103.5% of their principal amount plus accrued interest from May 1, 2013, and were issued as additional Senior Notes under the related indenture dated as of October 22, 2012.

On May 8, 2013 and November 26, 2013, we completed an offer to exchange any and all of our $250 million and $50 million, respectively, outstanding Senior Notes for a like principal amount of new 6.375% Senior Notes due 2020 having substantially identical terms to those of the Senior Notes. $250 million and $49,990,000 in aggregate principal amount (or 100% and 99.98%, respectively) of the outstanding Senior Notes were tendered and accepted for exchange upon closing of the related exchange offers and have been registered under the Securities Act.

Cash Paid for Interest

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash payments for interest were $10.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively.


7.	Retirement and Benefit Plans

8.	Stock-Based Compensation

In February 2013, we granted three types of stock-based awards under the 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (2013 Incentive Plan): performance stock units (PSUs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock options. In February 2014, we granted two types of stock-based awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan: PSUs and RSUs.

PSU and RSU Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we granted 100,692 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. The number of shares actually awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending upon Boise Cascade’s 2014 EBITDA, defined as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, determined in accordance with the related grant agreement. Because the EBITDA component contains a performance condition, we record compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period based on the most probable number of shares expected to vest.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we granted 90,124 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. During the 2013 performance period, participants earned 112% of the target based on Boise Cascade’s 2013 EBITDA, determined by our Compensation Committee in accordance with the related grant agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we granted an aggregate of 122,581 RSUs to our officers, other employees, and nonemployee directors with only service conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we granted an aggregate of 14,161 RSUs to our nonemployee directors with only service conditions.

The PSUs, if earned, vest in three equal tranches on December 31 of each year after the grant date, subject to final determination of meeting the performance condition by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. The RSUs granted to officers and other employees vest in three equal tranches on December 31 of each year after the grant date. However, 100% of PSUs and RSUs granted to retirement-eligible employees (age 62 or older with 15 years of service, or age 65 or older) vest on the later of December 31 after grant date or the date upon which they become retirement eligible. The RSUs granted to nonemployee directors vest over a one-year period, provided that such vested shares will not be delivered to the directors until six months following termination from the board of directors.

We based the fair value of PSU and RSU awards on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date, and we record compensation expense over the awards' vesting period. Any shares not vested are forfeited. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the total fair value of PSUs vested was $1.6 million.

The following summarizes the activity of our PSUs and RSUs awarded under the 2013 Incentive Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	PSUs				RSUs
	Number of shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Number of shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2013	90,124		$	26.65	14,161		$	26.65
Performance true-up	10,767		26.65		—		—
Vested	(55,276	)	26.65		(14,161	)	26.65
Granted	100,692		30.32		122,581		30.29
Outstanding, June 30, 2014	146,307		$	29.18	122,581		$	30.29

Stock Options

In February 2013, we granted 161,257 nonqualified stock options to our officers and other employees, subject to service conditions. The stock options generally vest and become exercisable on a pro rata basis over a three-year period from the date of grant. Our stock options generally have a contractual term of ten years, meaning the option must be exercised by the holder before the tenth anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier expiration for vested options not exercised following termination of employment. The following is a summary of our stock option activity:

Table of Contents



	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
					(years)	(thousands)
Outstanding, December 31, 2013	161,257		$	27.19
Exercised	(440	)	27.19
Cancelled/Forfeited	(6,801	)	27.19
Outstanding, June 30, 2014	154,016		$	27.19	8.7	$	223
Vested and expected to vest, June 30, 2014	133,631		$	27.19	8.7	$	194
Exercisable, June 30, 2014	52,686		$	27.19	8.7	$	76

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on our historical experience and future expectations. We recognize the effect of adjusting the estimated forfeiture rates in the period in which we change such estimated rates. Most of our share-based compensation expense was recorded in "General and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total stock-based compensation recognized from PSUs, RSUs, and stock options net of estimated forfeitures, was as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2014		2013		2014		2013
	(thousands)
PSUs	$	683	$	554	$	1,050	$	694
RSUs	602		81		884		111
Stock options	183		195		376		268
Total	$	1,468	$	830	$	2,310	$	1,073

The related tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements was $6.1 million, net of estimated forfeitures. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following table details the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

10.	Outsourcing Services Agreement

Under an Outsourcing Services Agreement, Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) provides a number of corporate staff services to us. These services include information technology, accounting, and human resource transactional services. The Outsourcing Services Agreement is currently set to expire on February 22, 2016. The agreement automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless either party provides notice of termination to the other party at least 12 months in advance of the expiration date. The Outsourcing Services Agreement gives us (but not PCA) the right to terminate all or any portion of the services provided to us on 30 days' notice. Total expenses incurred under the Outsourcing Services Agreement were $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $7.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.


11.	Transactions With Related Party

Louisiana Timber Procurement Company, L.L.C. (LTP) is an unconsolidated variable-interest entity that is 50% owned by us and 50% owned by PCA. LTP procures sawtimber, pulpwood, residual chips, and other residual wood fiber to meet the wood and fiber requirements of us and PCA in Louisiana. We are not the primary beneficiary of LTP, as we do not have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of LTP. Accordingly, we do not consolidate LTP's results in our financial statements.

Sales

Related-party sales to LTP from our Wood Products segment in our Consolidated Statements of Operations were $7.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $14.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. These pulpwood and chip sales were made at prices designed to approximate market. These sales are recorded in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Costs and Expenses

Related-party wood fiber purchases from LTP were $18.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $35.0 million and $32.5 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. We purchased wood fiber at prices designed to approximate market. These costs are recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.


12.	Segment Information

We operate our business using three reportable segments: Wood Products, Building Materials Distribution, and Corporate and Other. There are no differences in our basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from those disclosed in Note 15, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2013 Form 10-K.

(a)	EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating

Table of Contents

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 internal decision makers 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 the limitations of EBITDA 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.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the consolidated company:

14.	Consolidating Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Information

The following consolidating financial information presents the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets, and Cash Flows related to Boise Cascade. The Senior Notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally by each of our existing and future subsidiaries (other than our foreign subsidiaries). Each of our existing subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the Senior Notes is 100% owned by Boise Cascade. Other than the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for Boise Cascade and the consolidating financial information, financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantors have not been presented because management believes that such information is not material to investors. The reclassifications to net income from accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded primarily in our guarantor subsidiaries.

Furthermore, the cancellation provisions in the related indenture regarding guarantor subsidiaries are customary, and they do not include an arrangement that permits a guarantor subsidiary to opt out of the obligation prior to or during the term of the debt. Each guarantor subsidiary is automatically released from its obligations as a guarantor upon the sale of the subsidiary or substantially all of its assets to a third party, the designation of the subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary for purposes of the covenants included in the indenture, the release of the indebtedness under the indenture, or if the issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or the discharge of its obligations in accordance with the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the guarantee of BC Holdings was automatically released when Boise Cascade Company's common stock was registered under the Exchange Act and was listed on the NYSE in February 2013.

On October 1, 2013, we entered into a supplemental indenture (Supplemental Indenture) with certain of our subsidiaries and U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee for our Senior Notes, to add Chester Wood Products LLC and Moncure Plywood LLC as guarantors of the Senior Notes. Entry into the Supplemental Indenture was consummated in connection with the Acquisition on September 30, 2013, as described in Note 5, Acquisitions. As such, Chester Wood Products LLC and Moncure Plywood LLC are included as guarantor subsidiaries in the consolidating guarantor and nonguarantor financial statements effective October 1, 2013.

Background

Boise Cascade Company is a building products company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade Company (formerly known as Boise Cascade, L.L.C.) and its consolidated subsidiaries. Boise Cascade completed an initial public offering of its common stock on February 11, 2013, discussed in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Consolidation, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Boise Cascade is a large, vertically-integrated wood products manufacturer and building materials distributor. We have three reportable segments: (i) Wood Products, which manufactures plywood, engineered wood products (EWP), studs, particleboard, and ponderosa pine lumber; (ii) Building Materials Distribution, which is a wholesale distributor of building materials; and (iii) Corporate and Other, which includes corporate support staff services, related assets and liabilities, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses. For more information, see Note 12, Segment Information, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

On September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Wood Resources LLC Southeast Operations for an aggregate purchase price of $103.0 million, including a post-closing adjustment of $1.0 million based upon a working capital target. These operations consist of two plywood manufacturing facilities located in North Carolina and South Carolina. These facilities enable us to better serve our customers in the eastern and southeastern United States.

Executive Overview

We recorded income from operations of $45.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with income from operations of $22.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. In our Wood Products segment, income increased $8.2 million to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The improvement in segment income was due primarily to higher plywood sales volumes and higher EWP and lumber sales prices, as well as lower costs of OSB used in the manufacture of I-joists. These improvements in segment income were offset partially by lower plywood sales prices, higher log costs, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from the acquisition of two plywood manufacturing facilities on September 30, 2013. In our Building Materials Distribution segment, income increased $16.1 million to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in segment income was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $23.7 million, including an improvement in gross margin percentage of 220 basis points. The relative improvement in gross margin percentage resulted from more stable commodity product pricing during second quarter 2014, compared with a steady decline in commodity prices throughout second quarter 2013. While selling and distribution expenses increased approximately $6.6 million from the higher sales volumes, these costs were relatively flat as a percentage of segment sales. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.

At June 30, 2014, we had $129.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $342.0 million of unused committed bank line availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Cash increased $11.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014,

as cash provided by operations was offset partially by capital spending, as discussed further in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Demand for our products correlates with the level of residential construction activity in the U.S., which has historically been cyclical. As of July 2014, the Blue Chip Economic Indicators consensus forecast for 2014 single- and multi-family housing starts in the U.S. was 1.04 million units, compared with actual housing starts of 0.92 million in 2013 and 0.78 million in 2012, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. These amounts are below historical trends of approximately 1.4 million units per year over the 20 years prior to 2014. Single-family housing starts are a primary driver of our sales, and although 2014 housing starts are projected to be higher than in 2013, the mix of housing starts in recent years has included a lower proportion of single-family detached units, which typically have higher building product utilization per start than multi-family units. We estimate that a detached single-family unit uses approximately three times more building products than a typical multi-family unit, based on higher square footage per unit as well as greater materials usage per square foot.

Unemployment rates in the U.S. improved to 6.1% as of June 30, 2014, from 7.5% as of June 30, 2013. We believe continued employment growth, prospective home buyers' increased access to financing, and improved consumer confidence will be necessary to increase household formation rates. Improved household formation rates in turn will help stimulate new construction.

We expect to continue to experience demand below 20-year average historical levels for the products we manufacture and distribute. The housing industry in the U.S. improved in 2013 and 2012, and we remain optimistic that the improvement in demand for our products will continue during the balance of 2014. Future commodity product pricing could be volatile in response to industry capacity restarts and operating rates, inventory levels in various 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 improves further.

Factors That Affect Our Operating Results

Our results of operations and financial performance are influenced by a variety of factors, including the following:


•	the commodity nature of our products and their price movements, which are driven largely by capacity utilization rates and industry cycles that affect supply and demand;

•

general economic conditions, including but not limited to housing starts, repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction, inventory levels of new and existing homes for sale, foreclosure rates, interest rates, unemployment rates, household formation rates, and mortgage availability and pricing, as well as other consumer financing mechanisms, that ultimately affect demand for our products;


•	the highly competitive nature of our industry;


•	availability and affordability of raw materials, including wood fiber and glues and resins;


•	the impact of actuarial assumptions and regulatory activity on pension costs and pension funding requirements;


•	substantial ongoing capital investment costs and the difficulty in offsetting fixed costs related to our recent capital investments if the housing market does not recover;


•	material disruptions and/or major equipment failure at our manufacturing facilities;


•	the financial condition and creditworthiness of our customers;


•	concentration of our sales among a relatively small group of customers;


•	our substantial indebtedness, including the possibility that we may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings may not be available in amounts sufficient to fulfill our debt obligations and fund other liquidity needs;


•	cost of compliance with government regulations, in particular environmental regulations;


•	labor disruptions, shortages of skilled and technical labor, or increased labor costs;


•	impairment of our long-lived assets, goodwill, and/or intangible assets;

Table of Contents


•	the need to successfully implement succession plans for certain members of our senior management team;


•	restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements;


•	our ability to successfully complete potential acquisitions or integrate efficiently acquired operations;


•	our reliance on Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) for many of our administrative services;


•	disruptions to information systems used to process and store customer, employee, and vendor information, as well as the technology that manages our operations and other business processes;


•	severe weather phenomena such as drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fire;


•	fluctuations in the market for our equity; and


•	the other factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, total sales increased $108.9 million, or 13%, to $961.2 million from $852.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total sales increased $131.2 million, or 8%, to $1,728.4 million from $1,597.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales was driven primarily by increases in sales volumes for many of the products we manufacture and distribute due to higher levels of residential construction activity. Total U.S. housing starts increased 12% in second quarter 2014, compared with the same period in the prior year. Single-family housing starts, which are a primary driver of our sales and typically result in higher building product utilization per start than multi-family units, experienced an increase of 4% for the quarter, compared with the same period in 2013. Average composite panel and average composite lumber prices for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were 18% and 2% lower, respectively, than in the same period in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite panel and lumber pricing. Decreases in the prices of oriented strand board (OSB) and dimension lumber were the primary drivers of the decreases within the composite price indexes.

Wood Products. Sales, including sales to our Building Materials Distribution segment, increased $70.6 million, or 25%, to $351.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $280.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our acquisition of two plywood manufacturing facilities on September 30, 2013, was the primary factor behind 21% higher plywood sales volumes. The higher plywood sales volumes increased sales by $24.8 million. Volume increases of 29% in I-joists and 28% in laminated veneer lumber (LVL) resulted in sales increases of $12.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively. In addition, sales price increases of 8% in I-joists and 4% in LVL contributed $4.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, to the increase in sales. Increases in lumber sales prices and lumber sales volumes of 11% and 10%, respectively, resulted in sales increases of $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The increase in sales volumes also drove an increase in shipping and handling revenue of $5.7 million. The remaining increases were primarily due to higher particleboard and byproduct sales. These increases were offset partially by a decrease of $12.0 million due to 8% lower plywood sales prices.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, sales, including sales to our Building Materials Distribution segment, increased $94.7 million, or 17%, to $644.3 million from $549.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Our acquisition noted above was the primary factor behind 21% higher plywood sales volumes. The higher plywood sales volumes increased sales by $47.5 million. Volume increases of 14% in I-joists and 13% in LVL resulted in sales increases of $11.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively. In addition, sales price increases of 7% in I-joists and 5% in LVL contributed $6.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, to the increase in sales. Increases in lumber sales prices of 17% resulted in sales increases of $8.4 million. The increase in sales volumes also drove an increase in shipping and handling revenue of $7.5 million. The remaining increases were due primarily to higher particleboard and byproduct sales. These increases were offset partially by a decrease of $27.2 million due to 10% lower plywood sales prices.

Building Materials Distribution. Sales increased $76.9 million, or 11%, to $758.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $681.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven primarily by sales volume increases of 15%, offset partially by a decrease in sales prices of 3%. By product line, sales of EWP (substantially all of which is sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 36%, or $35.4 million; general line product sales increased 9%, or $20.8 million; and commodity sales increased 6%, or $20.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, sales increased $81.3 million, or 6%, to $1,343.9 million from $1,262.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Compared with the same period in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven primarily by sales volume increases of 11%, offset partially by a decrease in sales prices of 4%. By product line, sales of EWP increased 23%, or $41.7 million; general line product sales increased 7%, or $27.0 million; and commodity sales increased 2%, or $12.5 million.

Costs and Expenses

Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $72.5 million, or 10%, to $823.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $751.0 million during the same period in the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses primarily reflects higher manufacturing costs, including costs for wood, labor, glues and resins, and energy. These increases were driven by higher sales volumes of EWP, plywood, and lumber in our Wood Products segment, compared with second quarter 2013, offset partially by lower per-unit costs of oriented strand board (OSB), which is used as the vertical web to assemble I-joists, of 39%. Materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our Wood Products segment decreased by 70 basis points. The decrease in the MLO rate was primarily the result of decreases in wood fiber costs and improved leveraging of labor costs, offset partially by an increase in other manufacturing costs. In our Building Materials Distribution segment, the

Table of Contents

increase was driven by higher purchased materials costs as a result of higher sales volumes, compared with second quarter 2013. However, the Building Materials Distribution segment MLO rate decreased 220 basis points, compared with second quarter 2013. The decrease in the MLO rate was driven primarily by relatively stable commodity product pricing during second quarter 2014, compared with a steady decline in commodity prices throughout second quarter 2013. In our Building Materials Distribution Segment, periods of increasing prices provide the opportunity for higher sales and increased margins, while declining price environments may result in declines in sales and profitability and lower of cost or market inventory write-downs, as we experienced during second quarter 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation), increased $100.3 million, or 7%, to $1,496.1 million, compared with $1,395.8 million in the same period in the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses primarily reflects higher manufacturing costs, including wood costs, labor, glues and resins, and energy. These increases were driven by higher sales volumes of EWP and plywood in our Wood Products segment, as well as higher per-unit log costs, which increased approximately 3%, compared with the same period in 2013. However, costs of OSB decreased 36% on a per-unit basis. The MLO rate in our Wood Products segment increased by 60 basis points, primarily as a result of lower plywood sales prices and increases in labor and other manufacturing costs. In addition, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by higher purchased materials costs as a result of higher sales volumes in our Building Materials Distribution segment. However, the Building Materials Distribution segment MLO rate decreased 100 basis points, compared with the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $3.7 million, or 42%, to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $8.8 million during the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, these expenses increased $7.6 million, or 44%, to $24.8 million, compared with $17.2 million in the same period in the prior year. The increases in both periods were due primarily to the acquisition of two plywood manufacturing facilities on September 30, 2013, and purchases of property and equipment.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $7.1 million, or 12%, to $67.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $60.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher incentive compensation and payroll expenses of $2.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as well as increased transportation costs in our Building Materials Distribution segment of $1.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, selling and distribution expenses increased $9.0 million, or 8%, to $126.1 million, compared with $117.1 million during the same period in 2013. The increase was due primarily to higher payroll and incentive compensation expenses of $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as well as increased transportation and lease costs in our Building Materials Distribution segment of $2.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increased selling and distribution expenses in both comparative periods were principally a result of increased sales volumes and improved operating results.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 16%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $10.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses and professional service expenses of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, these expenses increased $2.3 million, or 11%, to $22.6 million, compared with $20.3 million during the same period in 2013. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses of $1.2 million, as well as increased professional service and IT related expenses of $0.9 million.

Other (income) expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was insignificant. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, other (income) expense, net, was $1.7 million of income, which included $1.6 million of gain from the sale of two surplus properties in our Building Materials Distribution segment. Other (income) expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was insignificant.

Income From Operations

Income from operations increased $23.7 million to $45.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Income from operations increased $13.6 million to $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $46.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Wood Products. Segment income increased $8.2 million to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, segment income increased $0.4 million to $44.3 million from $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in segment income for both comparative periods was due primarily to higher plywood sales volumes and higher EWP and lumber sales prices, as well as lower OSB costs. These improvements in segment income were offset partially by lower plywood sales

Table of Contents

prices, higher log costs, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from the acquisition of two plywood manufacturing facilities on September 30, 2013.

Building Materials Distribution. Segment income increased $16.1 million to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in segment income was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $23.7 million, including an improvement in gross margin percentage of 220 basis points. The relative improvement in gross margin percentage resulted from more stable commodity product pricing during second quarter 2014 as compared with a steady decline in commodity prices throughout second quarter 2013. While selling and distribution expenses increased approximately $6.6 million from the higher sales volumes, these costs were relatively flat as a percentage of segment sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, segment income improved $14.0 million to $25.3 million from $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in segment income was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $21.8 million, including an improvement in gross margin percentage of 100 basis points, as well as a $1.6 million gain recorded in other income from the sale of two surplus properties. These improvements in segment income were offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses of $8.5 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 15%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 14%, to $11.0 million from $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increases in interest expense in both periods were due primarily to the issuance of an additional $50 million of Senior Notes on August 15, 2013. For more information related to our Senior Notes, see Note 6, Debt, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $14.3 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 35.1% and 35.7%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, excluding the discrete establishment of net deferred tax assets discussed below, we recorded $6.8 million and $14.4 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 39.5% and 38.9%, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the primary reasons for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and the effective tax rate were the effect of state taxes, offset partially by the domestic manufacturers' deduction and other tax credits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and the effective tax rate, excluding the deferred discrete item, was the effect of state taxes.

On February 4, 2013, we converted from a limited liability company to a corporation. In addition, we elected to be treated as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes effective as of January 1, 2013. Therefore, we became subject to federal and state income tax expense beginning January 1, 2013. As a result of our conversion to a corporation, we recorded deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $68.7 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, the effect of which was recorded as an income tax benefit in our Consolidated Statement of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended second quarter 2014 with $129.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $301.5 million of long-term debt. At June 30, 2014, we had $471.9 million of available liquidity (cash and cash equivalents and unused borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility). We generated $11.7 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as cash provided by operations was offset partially by capital spending, as further discussed below.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to fund debt service requirements and provide cash, as required, to support our ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations, working capital, and pension contributions for at least the next 12 months. Compared to the past, we expect that we will fund a larger portion of our intra-month working capital requirements in 2014 from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, rather than from cash on hand.

Table of Contents

Sources and Uses of Cash

We generate cash primarily from sales of our products, short-term and long-term borrowings, and equity offerings. Our primary uses of cash are for expenses related to the manufacture and distribution of building products, including inventory purchased for resale, wood fiber, labor, energy, and glues and resins. In addition to paying for ongoing operating costs, we use cash to invest in our business, repay debt, and meet our contractual obligations and commercial commitments. Below is a discussion of our sources and uses of cash for operating activities, investment activities, and financing activities.



	Six Months Ended June 30
	2014			2013
	(thousands)
Net cash provided by (used for) operations	$	29,325		$	(45,995	)
Net cash used for investment	(17,302		)	(13,486		)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing	(353		)	237,469

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our operating activities generated $29.3 million of cash, compared with $46.0 million of cash used for operations in the same period in 2013. The increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a $41.7 million decrease in cash used for working capital, a $13.6 million increase in income from operations, a $9.2 million decrease in pension contributions, and an $8.7 million decrease in cash paid for income taxes. See "Our Operating Results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information related to factors affecting our operating results.

The increases in working capital in both periods were attributable primarily to higher receivables and inventories, offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increases in receivables in both periods primarily reflect increased sales of approximately 39% and 37%, comparing sales for the months of June 2014 and 2013 with sales for the months of December 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in inventories in both periods represents normal seasonal inventory build. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided $58.4 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $36.7 million in the same period a year ago. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, increases in inventory levels led to the increase in accounts payable.

Investment Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we used approximately $22.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of cash for purchases of property and equipment, including business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. Excluding acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2014 to total approximately $52 million to $62 million. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of a number of factors, including our financial results, future economic conditions, and timing of equipment purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received proceeds of $4.6 million, primarily from the sale of two surplus properties in our Building Materials Distribution segment.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we borrowed $57.6 million under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund working capital needs, which was subsequently repaid during the same period with cash on hand, resulting in no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014.

On February 11, 2013, we issued 13,529,412 shares of common stock in our initial public offering. In connection with this initial public offering, we received proceeds of approximately $262.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $19.2 million and offering expenses of approximately $2.3 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we borrowed $55.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund working capital needs, which was subsequently repaid during the same period with cash on hand. We used $25.0 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay the remaining borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2013.

Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility

Boise Cascade and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., are borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp. is guarantor under the $350 million Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are constrained by a borrowing base formula dependent upon levels of eligible receivables and inventory reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (Availability). On February 6, 2014, we entered into a sixth amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility that primarily provides more administrative flexibility and reduces the notice period we must provide to receive London Interbank Offered Rate based advances under the facility.

Senior Notes

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2013 Form 10-K and in Note 6, Debt, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Contractual Obligations

For information about contractual obligations, see Contractual Obligations in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no other material changes in contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance-Sheet Activities

At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had no material off-balance-sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities.

Guarantees

Note 7, Debt, and Note 16, Commitments, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, and Guarantees, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2013 Form 10-K describe the nature of our guarantees, including the approximate terms of the guarantees, how the guarantees arose, the events or circumstances that would require us to perform under the guarantees, and the maximum potential undiscounted amounts of future payments we could be required to make. As of June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to the guarantees disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Seasonal and Inflationary Influences

We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors. These seasonal factors are common in the building products industry. Seasonal changes in levels of building activity affect our building products businesses, which are dependent on housing starts, repair-and-remodeling activities, and light commercial construction activities. We typically report lower sales in the first and fourth quarters due to the impact of poor weather on the construction market, and we generally have higher sales in the second and third quarters, reflecting an increase in construction due to more favorable weather conditions. We typically have higher working capital in the first and second quarters in preparation and response to the building season. Seasonally cold weather increases costs, especially energy consumption, at most of our manufacturing facilities.

Our major costs of production are wood fiber, labor, and glue and resins. Wood fiber costs and glue and resin costs have been volatile in recent years.

Employees

As of July 20, 2014, we had approximately 5,500 employees. Approximately 27% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. As of July 20, 2014, we had nine collective bargaining agreements. Fewer than 1% of our total employees are working pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement that will expire within the next 12 months.

Environmental

For additional information about environmental issues, see Environmental in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results. These estimates require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to estimate matters that are inherently uncertain. We review the development, selection, and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. For information about critical accounting estimates, see Critical Accounting Estimates in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2013 Form 10-K. At June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

For information related to new and recently adopted accounting standards, see "New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards" in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" in this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-Q are certifications of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO). Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), requires that we include these certifications with this report. This Controls and Procedures section includes information concerning the disclosure controls and procedures referred to in the certifications. You should read this section in conjunction with the certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act defines such term. We have designed these controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. We have also designed our disclosure controls to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow them to make timely decisions regarding our required disclosures.

Under an Outsourcing Services Agreement, Packaging Corporation of America provides a number of corporate staff services to us. These services include information technology, accounting, and human resource transactional services. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, including the effectiveness of the services provided to us under the Outsourcing Services Agreement, as of the end of the quarter covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in meeting the objectives for which they were designed and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure and/or internal controls and procedures, we recognized that no matter how well conceived and well operated, a control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, a control system, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements due to error or fraud. Additionally, in designing a control system, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have also designed our disclosure and internal controls and procedures based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about our expectations, anticipated financial results, projected capital expenditures, and future business prospects, are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by our use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "should," "plan," "anticipate," and other similar expressions. You can find examples of these statements throughout this report, including "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We cannot guarantee that our actual results will be consistent with the forward-looking statements we make in this report. You should review carefully the risk factors listed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2013 Form 10-K, as well as those factors listed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the risk factors below. We do not assume an obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Our manufacturing operations may have difficulty obtaining wood fiber at favorable prices or at all.

Wood fiber is our principal raw material, which accounted for approximately 44% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2013. Wood fiber is a commodity, and prices have been historically cyclical in response to changes in domestic and foreign demand and supply. In the future, we expect the level of foreign demand for timber exports from the western U.S. to fluctuate based on the economic activity in China and other Pacific Rim countries, currency exchange rates, and the availability of timber supplies from other countries such as Canada, Russia, and New Zealand. Sustained periods of high timber costs may impair the cost competitiveness of our manufacturing facilities.

In 2005, following the sale of our timberlands, supply agreements (or successor arrangements) were put in place under which we purchase timber at market-based prices. For 2013, approximately 28% of our timber was supplied pursuant to agreements assumed by (or replacement master supply agreements with) Hancock, Molpus, and Rayonier. The supply agreements with these parties will terminate on December 31, 2014, based on notice provided to us from Hancock, Molpus, and Rayonier six months prior to expiration of the applicable agreements. If we are unable to negotiate future purchases for our timber requirements in a particular region to satisfy our timber needs at satisfactory prices, which could include private purchases with other suppliers, open-market purchases, and purchases from governmental sources, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

In 2013, we purchased approximately 21% of our timber from federal, state, and local governments. In certain regions in which we operate, a substantial portion of our timber is purchased from governmental authorities. As a result, existing and future governmental regulation can affect our access to, and the cost of, such timber. Future domestic or foreign legislation and litigation concerning the use of timberlands, timber harvest methodologies, forest road construction and maintenance, the protection of endangered species, forest-based carbon sequestration, the promotion of forest health, and the response to and prevention of catastrophic wildfires can affect timber and fiber supply from both government and private lands. Availability of harvested timber and fiber may be further limited by fire, insect infestation, disease, ice storms, windstorms, hurricanes, flooding, and other natural and man-made causes, thereby reducing supply and increasing prices.

Historically, availability of residual wood fiber for our particleboard operation has been negatively affected by significant mill closures and curtailments that have occurred among solid-wood product manufacturers, and future periods of low demand for solid-wood products could negatively affect availability. In addition, future development of wood cellulose biofuel or other new sources of wood fiber demand could interfere with our ability to source wood fiber or lead to significantly higher costs.
