In second quarter 2016, total and single-family U.S. housing starts increased approximately 1% and 7%, respectively, from the same period last year. Total U.S. housing starts from the July 2016 Blue Chip consensus forecast for 2016 and 2017 reflect 1.20 million and 1.32 million, respectively, or expected annual increases of 8% and 10%.

“The integration of the Thorsby and Roxboro engineered wood products facilities has gone very well. We are pleased with the additional capabilities the facilities provide as we support the ongoing growth of our customers," stated Tom Corrick, CEO. "Our distribution business had an outstanding second quarter that reflected solid volume growth across its product lines and the benefit of favorable tailwinds on many commodity product prices. We still face oversupply challenges in our plywood business, but did see improvement in pricing compared to the first quarter. 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 Building Materials Distribution (BMD), increased $6.5 million, or 2%, to $346.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, from $339.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in sales was driven primarily by increases in sales volumes and prices of laminated veneer lumber and I-joists (collectively EWP). The EWP volume increases were due primarily to our acquisition of two EWP facilities on March 31, 2016. These increases were offset partially by decreases in plywood and lumber sales volumes and prices.

Wood Products segment income decreased $7.4 million to $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, from $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decline in income was due primarily to lower plywood and lumber sales prices, as well as higher oriented strand board (OSB) costs used in the manufacture of I-joists. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.4 million due to the acquisition of two EWP facilities on March 31, 2016, and other capital expenditures. These decreases were offset partially by improved sales volumes and prices of EWP.

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



	2Q 2016 vs. 2Q 2015	2Q 2016 vs. 1Q 2016

Average Net Selling Prices
Plywood	(10)%	4%
LVL	2%	—%
I-joists	3%	—%
Lumber	(4)%	3%
Sales Volumes
Plywood	(8)%	—%
LVL	33%	30%
I-joists	14%	29%
Lumber	(12)%	3%

Building Materials Distribution

Sales increased $88.0 million, or 12%, to $850.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, from $762.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by sales volume increases of 13%, offset partially by a decrease in sales prices of 1%. By product line, commodity sales increased 12%, general line product sales increased 10%, and sales of EWP (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 13%.

BMD segment income increased $9.5 million to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, from $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in income was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $18.8 million, including an improvement in gross margin percentage of 100 basis points, which was largely driven by favorable trending prices in OSB and lumber during second quarter 2016, as well as stronger margin contribution within our general line products. These increases were offset partially by increased

selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses of $7.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Corporate and Other

Segment loss was $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared with $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The change was due primarily to higher incentive compensation costs.

Balance Sheet

Boise Cascade ended the second quarter with $96.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $319.1 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $415.2 million. The Company reported $464.6 million of outstanding debt at June 30, 2016.

Outlook

The Company expects its capital expenditures during 2016 to be $85-$95 million, inclusive of costs associated with the newly acquired EWP facilities.

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. 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, and could also include temporary plant curtailments such as those recently taken in our plywood operations.

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.
