In third quarter 2023, total U.S. housing starts decreased 6%, driven by a decrease in multi-family housing starts compared to the same period in 2022. However, single-family housing starts increased 7% compared to the same period in 2022. On a year-to-date basis through September 2023, total housing starts and single-family housing starts decreased 12% and 13%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. Single-family housing starts are the key demand driver for our sales.

Wood Products

Wood Products' sales, including sales to Building Materials Distribution (BMD), decreased $80.1 million, or 13%, to $515.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $595.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in sales was driven by lower plywood sales prices, lower sales prices for I-joists and LVL (collectively referred to as EWP), and lower LVL sales volumes. These decreases were offset partially by higher plywood sales volumes.

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

		3Q 2023 vs. 3Q 2022		3Q 2023 vs. 2Q 2023
Average Net Selling Prices
LVL		(14)%		(4)%
I-joists		(16)%		(3)%
Plywood		(20)%		5%
Sales Volumes
LVL		(5)%		6%
I-joists		—%		2%
Plywood		19%		(11)%

Wood Products' segment income decreased $56.4 million to $99.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $156.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in segment income was due primarily to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as lower LVL sales volumes. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by lower wood fiber costs and higher plywood sales volumes.

Building Materials Distribution

BMD's sales decreased $286.5 million, or 15%, to $1,670.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $1,956.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall decrease in sales was driven by sales price and sales volume decreases of 14% and 1%, respectively. By product line, commodity sales decreased 20%, general line product sales decreased 5%, and EWP sales (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) decreased 21%.

BMD segment income decreased $57.3 million to $97.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $154.4 million in the comparative prior year quarter. The decline in segment income was driven by a gross margin decrease of $48.4 million, resulting primarily from lower margins on EWP. In addition, selling and distribution expenses increased $6.0 million.

Recent Developments

On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Brockway-Smith Company (BROSCO) for a purchase price of $168 million, inclusive of estimated working capital at closing of $51 million, which is subject to post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the acquisition and related costs with cash on hand.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Boise Cascade ended third quarter 2023 with $1,273.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $395.9 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $1,668.9 million. The Company had $445.1 million of outstanding debt at September 30, 2023.

Capital Allocation

Excluding acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2023 to total approximately $190 million to $210 million. Our 2023 capital expenditures range includes funding for greenfield distribution centers in South Carolina and Texas, projects at our mills in the southeast to expand our EWP capacity, spending related to new door shop assembly operations in Kansas City, Missouri, and Denver, Colorado, and the purchase of a distribution center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid common stock dividends of $140.9 million. In addition, on October 26, 2023, our board of directors declared quarterly and special dividends of $0.20 per share and $5.00 per share, respectively, on our common stock. The fourth quarter dividends will total approximately $206 million and are payable on December 15, 2023, to stockholders of record on December 1, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, approximately 2.0 million shares were available for repurchase under our existing share repurchase program.

Outlook

Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity and light commercial construction. Various industry forecasts for 2023 U.S. housing starts are estimated to be 1.4 million units, compared with actual housing starts of 1.55 million in 2022, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. Throughout 2023, home affordability has been a challenge for consumers given higher mortgage rates and limited home price decreases. However, given a resilient economy and low levels of existing home inventory for sale, demand for new residential construction has been stronger than anticipated. Homebuilders have also addressed affordability challenges facing homebuyers in various ways, including smaller home sizes, fewer amenities, price incentives, and mortgage rate buydowns. Economic uncertainties, escalating mortgage rates, and home affordability are expected to continue to influence the near-term demand environment. Consensus forecasts for 2024 single- and multi-family housing starts in the U.S. generally range from 1.3 million to 1.4 million units, which is comparable with 2023. Regarding home improvement spending, the age of U.S. housing stock and elevated levels of homeowner equity have provided a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending. However, industry forecasts project continued moderation of year-over-year growth in renovation spending, and economic uncertainty may also negatively impact homeowners' further investment in their residences.

As a manufacturer of certain commodity products, we have sales and profitability exposure to declines in commodity product prices and rising input costs. Our distribution business purchases and resells a broad mix of commodity products with periods of increasing prices providing the opportunity for higher sales and increased margins, while declining price environments expose us to declines in sales and profitability. Future commodity product pricing and commodity input costs may be volatile in response to economic uncertainties, industry operating rates, transportation constraints or disruptions, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns. During fourth quarter 2023, we expect to experience seasonally slower demand for the products we manufacture and distribute, as well as modest EWP price erosion.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer to the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this earnings release and the accompanying Quarterly Statistical Information 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 (loss) 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.

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 (loss), income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our outlook. Statements preceded or followed by, or that otherwise include, the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "project," "estimates," "plans," "forecast," "is likely to," and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "may," "would," "should," and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, but not limited to, prices for building products, changes in the competitive position of our products, commodity input costs, the effect of general economic conditions, our ability to efficiently and effectively integrate the BROSCO acquisition, mortgage rates and availability, housing demand, housing vacancy rates, governmental regulations, unforeseen production disruptions, as well as natural disasters. 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.
