In the fourth quarter 2019, total U.S. housing starts increased 20% compared to the same period last year. Single-family starts, the primary driver of our sales volumes, also increased 15%. For the full year 2019, total and single-family housing starts increased 3% and 1%, respectively, from the same period in 2018.
“We had stronger than expected financial performance in the quarter as favorable weather allowed homebuilders to maintain solid activity levels, driving product demand. Our full year results illustrate our strategic progress since our initial public offering in 2013. Both businesses performed well given limited residential construction growth and persistent weakness in commodity wood products pricing. Our continued progress towards growing our engineered wood products and distribution businesses has increased our earnings stability,” commented Tom Corrick, CEO. “As I move into retirement after nearly 38 years with the Company, I'm pleased with our strategic progress as well as the strength of the leadership team and the culture of the Company. The Company's Board is looking forward to supporting Nate Jorgensen and the team as they execute our strategy and focus on operational excellence, growing our businesses, and providing exceptional customer service."
Other Items Impacting 2018 Results
Fourth quarter 2018 results included $24.0 million of pre-tax impairment and sale related losses, or $0.46 per share after-tax, related to the sale of our hardwood plywood facility in Moncure, North Carolina. The results also included $55.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of pre-tax accelerated depreciation and other curtailment related costs, or $1.11 per share after-tax, due to the permanent curtailment of LVL production at our Roxboro, North Carolina, facility.
Full year 2018 results included the above items, as well as $11.5 million of pre-tax impairment and sale related losses, or $0.22 per share after-tax, related to the sale of three Wood Products facilities in Northeast Oregon, and $23.3 million of pre-tax pension settlement charges, or $0.44 per share after-tax, due to pension risk transfer transactions.
Wood Products
Wood Products sales, including sales to Building Materials Distribution (BMD), decreased $10.8 million, or 4%, to $296.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, from $307.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The decline in sales was driven by lower sales prices and sales volumes for plywood. The decrease in sales was also attributable to lower sales volumes of lumber and particleboard due to the facility sales and closures in fourth quarter 2018, discussed above. These decreases were offset partially by increases in LVL and I-joists sales volumes (LVL and I-joists are collectively referred to as EWP) and net sale prices for I-joists. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Wood Products segment income was $8.1 million compared to a segment loss of $86.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Fourth quarter 2018 results included accelerated depreciation, as well as facility sale and curtailment related losses, discussed above. Excluding these losses, segment income improved approximately $13 million due to improved EWP volumes and prices, lower costs of OSB (used in the manufacture of I-joists) and logs, and lower per-unit conversion costs. In addition, excluding the accelerated depreciation, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.7 million due primarily to discontinued depreciation on manufacturing facilities curtailed and sold in 2018. These improvements were offset partially by lower plywood prices.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, sales, including sales to BMD, decreased $258.1 million, or 17%, to $1,275.2 million from $1,533.3 million in 2018. The decrease in sales was driven primarily by lower sales prices and sales volumes for plywood, as well as lower sales volumes for I-joists. The lower sales volume for plywood was mostly due to weaker market conditions and downtime for facility capital improvements, as well as the sale of the Moncure plywood facility on March 1, 2019. In addition, almost one-third of the decrease in sales was attributable to lower sales volumes of lumber and particleboard due to the facility sales or closures in 2018, discussed above. These decreases were offset partially by increases in EWP sales prices and LVL sales volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Wood Products segment income was $54.2 million compared to a segment loss of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results in 2018 included accelerated depreciation, and facility sale and curtailment related losses, discussed above. Excluding these losses, segment income decreased approximately $29 million due to lower sales prices of plywood, offset partially by lower wood fiber costs, particularly OSB (used in the manufacture of I-joists) and logs, as well as higher EWP prices. In addition, general and administrative expenses also decreased $3.6 million. Excluding the accelerated depreciation in 2018, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14.3 million due primarily to discontinued depreciation on manufacturing facilities curtailed and sold in 2018.
Comparative average net selling prices and sales volume changes for EWP and plywood are as follows:
|
| | | | |
| | | 4Q 2019 vs. 4Q 2018 | | 2019 vs. 2018 |
| | | | | |
| Average Net Selling Prices | | | | |
| LVL | | (1)% | | 3% |
| I-joists | | 4% | | 4% |
| Plywood | | (18)% | | (24)% |
| Sales Volumes | | | | |
| LVL | | 21% | | 1% |
| I-joists | | 20% | | (4)% |
| Plywood | | (3)% | | (6)% |
Building Materials Distribution
BMD's sales increased $64.7 million, or 7%, to $987.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, from $922.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by a sales volume increase of 11% offset partially by a sales price decrease of 4%. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of wholesale building material distribution locations in Nashville, Tennessee, Medford, Oregon, and Cincinnati, Ohio during 2018, and the Birmingham, Alabama acquisition in 2019 (the "BMD Acquisitions"), BMD sales would have increased 4%. By product line, commodity sales decreased 3%, general line product sales increased 14%, and sales of EWP (substantially all of which is sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 19%. BMD segment income increased $17.3 million to $26.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, from $8.9 million in the comparative prior year quarter. The improvement in segment income was driven primarily by a gross margin increase of $27.3 million, resulting from improved gross margins on commodity products and higher sales of general line products and EWP compared with fourth quarter 2018. Gross margins on commodity products in the prior year quarter were negatively impacted by sharply falling prices. The increase in gross margin during fourth quarter 2019 was offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses of $8.4 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, sales decreased $150.0 million, or 3%, to $4,137.7 million from $4,287.7 million in 2018. The decrease in sales was driven by a sales price decrease of 9%, offset partially by a sales volume increase of 6%. Excluding the impact of the BMD Acquisitions, BMD sales would have decreased 6%. By product line, commodity sales decreased 17%, general line product sales increased 11%, and sales of EWP increased 4%. BMD segment income increased $3.7 million to $116.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $112.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in segment income was driven primarily by a gross margin increase of $37.0 million, resulting from higher sales of general line products and improved gross margins on commodity products compared with 2018. The majority of the improvement in gross margins was offset by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization of $29.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Boise Cascade ended fourth quarter 2019 with $285.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $336.7 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $621.9 million. The Company had $440.5 million of outstanding debt at December 31, 2019.
We adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The most significant impact of the adoption was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, as reflected on the face of our balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated net earnings and cash flows. For additional information on the impact of this standard on our accounting for leases and additional required qualitative disclosures of our lease policies, see our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2020.
During 2019, Boise Cascade transferred $19.8 million of its qualified defined benefit pension plan assets to The Prudential Insurance Company of America for the purchase of a group annuity contract. As a result of the pension risk transfer transaction, we recorded $1.3 million of pre-tax settlement charges, or $0.03 per share after-tax.
Dividends
On February 10, 2020, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of our common stock, payable on March 16, 2020, to stockholders of record on February 24, 2020.
Outlook
The February 2020 Blue Chip consensus forecast for 2020 and 2021 reflects 1.34 million and 1.35 million total U.S. housing starts, respectively, compared with actual housing starts of 1.29 million in 2019. Although we believe U.S. demographics are supportive of higher levels of housing starts, we expect only modest near-term residential construction growth due to constraints faced by builders, such as availability of labor and building lots, as well as affordability constraints faced by prospective buyers. The pace of household formation rates and residential repair-and-remodeling activity will be affected by employment growth, wage growth, prospective home buyers' access to and cost of financing, housing affordability, and consumer confidence, as well as other factors. Household formation rates in turn will be a key factor behind the demand for new construction. In addition, the size of new single-family residences as well as the mix of single and multi-family starts will influence product consumption. We will continue to manage our production levels to our sales demand.
As both a manufacturer and a distributor, our 2019 financial results were impacted by lower lumber, OSB, and plywood pricing compared to pricing in 2018. Additional industry capacity brought on in 2018, and more plywood imports from South America, when coupled with a generally flat residential construction activity, led to supply and demand imbalances. Commodity wood product pricing during 2020 will be a key driver of our financial results and will be dependent on industry operating rates, net import and export activity, transportation constraints or disruptions, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.
On February 20, 2020, we made a decision to permanently curtail I-joist production at our Roxboro, North Carolina facility by March 31, 2020. Across our industry, I-joist consumption per housing start has trended downward in recent years which we believe is due to decreases in the median home size and an increasing proportion of slab on grade new home construction. Because Roxboro is a higher cost facility and we have additional available I-joist capacity at our Alexandria, Louisiana facility, we plan to permanently curtail Roxboro I-joist production. We do not anticipate any impact on our customers. We expect to record approximately $18 million of charges during first quarter 2020, substantially all of which will be to fully depreciate the curtailed I-joist production assets.
Consistent with historical patterns, we expect working capital increases to use cash in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, we expect our capital spending, excluding acquisitions, to be $85-$95 million in 2020, including spending to improve the efficiency of veneer production at our Florien, Louisiana, facility.

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. 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, 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.
