PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Boise Cascade is one of the largest producers of engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood in North America and a leading U.S. wholesale distributor of building products. As used in this Form 10-K, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Purpose and Values

Purpose

As a leading manufacturer and distributor of building materials, we bring people, products, and services together to build strong homes, businesses, and communities that stand the test of time.

Our Shared Values

At Boise Cascade, our values are not just words; they are the behaviors that we expect of each other and help us all share in a bigger purpose. We truly care about relationships with our teammates, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and the communities where we operate. We approach the way we do business with these core values:

•Integrity - We are our word. Integrity goes beyond the lasting structural strength of our products; it is our uncompromising commitment to do the right thing. We nurture long-term relationships every day, in everything that we do.

•Safety - We each have the responsibility for our own safety and the safety of those around us, both at work and at home. Together, we strive to create an injury-free environment by identifying risks, eliminating hazards, and requiring safe behaviors.

•Respect - We cultivate a climate of mutual respect, camaraderie, and teamwork. We welcome diverse backgrounds, views, and skills because we believe it results in stronger teams, inspired solutions, and greater agility as an organization.

Table of Contents

have the autonomy to apply our knowledge and experience to solve problems, make decisions, and implement new ideas to drive sustainable results.

Segment Overview

Our two reportable segments, Wood Products and Building Materials Distribution, operate with a high degree of vertical integration. In our Wood Products segment, we manufacture laminated veneer lumber (LVL), I-joists, and laminated beams, which are collectively referred to as EWP. In addition, we manufacture structural, appearance, and industrial plywood panels, and ponderosa pine lumber. Our Building Materials Distribution segment (BMD) is the largest customer of our Wood Products segment and operates a nationwide network of distribution facilities that sell a broad line of building materials, including oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, and lumber (collectively referred to as commodities); general line items such as siding, composite decking, doors, metal products, insulation, and roofing; and EWP. Substantially all of BMD's EWP is sourced from our Wood Products segment, with the remaining products we distribute sourced from a broad vendor base of third-party suppliers ranging from large manufacturers to small regional producers.

Our products are used in the construction of new residential housing, including single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes, the repair-and-remodeling of existing housing, the construction of light industrial and commercial buildings, and industrial applications. We have a broad base of national and local customers, which includes a diverse mix of dealers, home improvement centers, leading wholesalers, specialty distributors, and industrial converters. Drivers of new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction include new household formation, the age of the housing stock, availability of credit and other macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth, population growth and migration, interest rates, employment, and consumer sentiment.

The map below presents our network of manufacturing and distribution facilities.

Our Business Strategies

Increase Both Our Earnings and Earnings Stability

We intend to increase both our earnings and earnings stability by growing our EWP sales and expanding our distribution capabilities. In Wood Products, we are principally focused on the production of veneer-based products. We have grown our EWP sales and thereby diverted more of our internally produced veneer away from plywood, which is a product line exposed to oriented strand board substitution and significant price volatility. In 2022, we acquired Coastal Plywood Company (Coastal Plywood) and its plywood manufacturing locations in Havana, Florida, and Chapman, Alabama, to provide avenues for further EWP growth. These facilities will provide incremental stress-rated veneer needed to optimize and expand our southeastern U.S. EWP production capacity. In addition, we have divested of assets that we considered to be non-strategic or where we believed we were unlikely to generate a sufficient return on invested capital in the future.

In BMD, our growth strategy includes adding products and services, expanding our market penetration via acquisition or the opening or expansion of locations in under-served markets, and identifying and executing upon adjacent distribution platforms that can be scaled. Doors provide a recent example of product line expansion in BMD. In 2020 and 2021, we expanded our door shop assembly operations with the addition of properties and related assembly equipment in Dallas and Houston, Texas. In addition, we recently announced the purchase of a new facility in Kansas City, Missouri, to house an additional door shop assembly operation. In 2022, we completed or announced capacity expansion projects in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Marion, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Furthermore, we recently purchased properties in South Carolina and Texas to build two new distribution facilities over the next two years. These organic growth projects allow us to further expand our product and service offerings in those markets.

The change in our sales mix by segment over time from reducing our product mix in Wood Products and expanding our BMD distribution capabilities is illustrated below.

Table of Contents

Wood Products' change in sales mix by product line over time is illustrated below.

The chart below illustrates our growth in EWP.

Table of Contents

BMD carries a broad line of building materials used in residential construction, repair and remodel, and industrial applications. In BMD, we have grown by adding products and services, capturing additional market share in many of our existing markets, expanding our market presence via acquisition or start-up or expansion of locations, and by identifying and executing upon adjacent distribution platforms. Over time, BMD intends to increase the proportion of its sales attributable to general line and EWP as those products carry a higher margin profile than commodities. The chart below reflects BMD's sales mix by product for the year ended December 31, 2022.

BMD's growth in sales dollars and sales per U.S. housing start are reflected in the chart below.

A map of BMD's distribution locations is shown below. The red stars are BMD's locations, the size of the circles indicate the level of residential construction activity in that trade area (Core-Based Statistical Area or CBSA), and the color of the circles indicate how close our distribution centers are to each major trade area. During 2018 and 2019, we acquired wholesale building material distribution locations in Nashville, Tennessee; Medford, Oregon; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Birmingham, Alabama. In addition, we recently purchased properties in South Carolina and Texas to build two new distribution facilities over the next two years. These facilities will allow us to better serve customers in Charleston, South Carolina, San Antonio, Texas, and surrounding markets.

Table of Contents

Leverage our Integrated Model

We believe our vertically-integrated business model provides us with advantages over less integrated competitors and provides unique and significant value to our customers. Wood Products enjoys superior access to the market through a committed distributor, BMD benefits from a committed manufacturing partnership, and we capture margin at both levels of the supply chain. From 2018 to 2022, Wood Products' sales volumes of EWP to BMD grew from 74% to 77%, and plywood sales volumes to BMD declined slightly from 36% to 32%. The chart below reflects the progress we have made in distributing internally produced products through our distribution network.

Drive Operational Excellence

In Wood Products, we use process improvement and machine reliability methodologies to continuously refine and improve our operations and processes. We believe there are opportunities to further apply these process improvement programs in our manufacturing operations and apply similar techniques and methods to different functional areas to realize efficiencies in those areas.

In BMD, we believe our highly efficient logistics system allows us to deliver superior customer service and assist our customers in optimizing their working capital. In order to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, we regularly capture and report upon a wide variety of investment, operational, and customer service metrics. Key learnings and best practices are then leveraged across our distribution locations.

Accelerate Pace of Innovation, Digital Technology, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Company is actively pursuing additional initiatives that we believe will provide further avenues for revenue and earnings growth:

Innovation - We are actively engaged in product development opportunities in our Wood Products segment. These opportunities include the development of new products for new residential construction or commercial construction applications. The commercial construction segment is a particular area of focus for us given we have limited penetration in that space today, and recent changes in building codes that allow for the use of mass timber in tall wood structures provide further opportunity. Innovation efforts within our Wood Products segment are also focused on identifying process and cost efficiency improvement opportunities, some of which will include further automation within our manufacturing operations. To support our innovation initiatives, we have added dedicated resources and are also leveraging tools to capture ideas from employees across our organization.

Table of Contents

Digital Technology - Like many companies, we use multiple systems to manage our business. This can mean that critical business data is not in one central and easily accessible location. As such, we have undertaken a project that has brought much of our primary business data into a single repository. That data, combined with a robust reporting engine, is allowing us to quickly access and analyze the information. This project has resulted in the development of business use cases that are expected to provide revenue-generating, cost-reducing, and risk-mitigating opportunities. This journey is ongoing, and we expect to continue to leverage this digital investment to further develop value-generating analytics and business insights.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) - At Boise Cascade, we are pursuing excellence by embracing the power of our differences. We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture that values diversity and creates connection where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We recognize both the compelling business case for DEI to drive business impact and the role this work plays in living our core values of integrity, safety, respect, and the pursuit of excellence. Our strategy drives our work to build diverse and inclusive teams by putting initiatives in place that welcome diversity, build community, and grow our people and our business. Our DEI Director works in partnership with an employee DEI Steering Committee that informs and guides our work and an employee DEI Action Council that integrates DEI into our systems and processes to operationalize the strategy. Our commitment starts at the top with our executive leadership team and engages employees at all levels with training, webinars, and other tools, resources, and activities that celebrate our differences, increase our awareness, diversify our talent pipelines, and foster a culture of inclusion for all employees.

Segment Detail

Wood Products

Products

LVL and laminated beams are structural products used in applications where extra strength and consistent quality are required, such as headers and beams. LVL is also used in the manufacture of I-joists, which are assembled by combining a vertical web of OSB with top and bottom LVL or solid wood flanges. I-joists, which are used primarily in residential and commercial flooring and roofing systems and other structural applications, are stronger, lighter, and straighter than conventional lumber products. Plywood is used in a wide range of structural, interior, and exterior applications within the residential, industrial, and repair and remodel sectors. We also produce ponderosa pine shop lumber which is sold primarily to industrial converters, and ponderosa pine appearance grade boards that are sold to home centers and dealers.

The following table sets forth the annual capacity, production volumes, and sales volumes of our principal products for the periods indicated:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K for a description of our reasons for using EBITDA and for a discussion of the limitations of such a non-GAAP measure.

Facilities

Our Wood Products segment operates five EWP facilities. Our two most significant EWP facilities are located in Louisiana and Oregon and have a high degree of raw material and manufacturing integration with our neighboring plywood and veneer facilities. We also operate eleven plywood and veneer plants, as well as two sawmills.

Raw Materials and Input Costs

Wood fiber. Wood fiber is the primary raw material used in our Wood Products operations, and our primary source of wood fiber is logs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, wood fiber accounted for approximately 43% of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) in our Wood Products segment. Our EWP facilities use parallel-laminated veneer panels and veneer sheets produced by our facilities, as well as lumber, OSB, and veneer sheets purchased from third parties, to manufacture LVL, I-joists, and laminated beams. Our EWP, plywood, and veneer facilities use Douglas fir, white woods, and pine logs as raw materials. Our manufacturing facilities are located in close proximity to active wood fiber markets.

Table of Contents

Logs comprised approximately 72% of our wood fiber costs during 2022, and we satisfy our log requirements through a combination of purchases under supply agreements, open-market purchases, and purchases pursuant to contracts awarded under public auctions. Approximately 88% of our log supply in 2022 was supplied through purchases from private landowners or through dealers. We also bid in auctions conducted by federal, state, and local authorities for the purchase of logs, generally at fixed prices, under contracts with terms of generally one to three years.

Our log requirements and our access to supply, as well as the cost of obtaining logs, are subject to change based on, among other things, the availability of logs in each of our operating areas, our operating schedules, competition from other manufacturers, the effect of governmental laws and regulations, impacts of weather or fire on log availability, and the status of environmental appeals. Per-unit log costs in the western U.S. are higher than per-unit log costs in the southern U.S. due to higher harvest and delivery costs, as well as various supply-side constraints, including seasonal weather-related restrictions, slower growth cycles, and a higher proportion of federal and state timberland ownership. Our aggregate cost of obtaining logs is also affected by fuel costs and the distance of the log source from our facilities, as we are often required to arrange for harvesting and delivery of the logs we purchase from the source to our facilities. For a discussion of contractual commitments relating to log supply agreements, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K.

We also purchase OSB, which is used as the vertical web to assemble I-joists. OSB accounted for approximately 6% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2022. OSB is a commodity, and prices have been historically volatile in response to industry capacity and operating rates, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.

Wood fiber also includes, to a lesser extent than OSB, lumber purchased from third parties for I-joist production at our Canadian EWP facility and for production at our laminated beam plant in Idaho. Lumber input costs are subject to similar commodity-based volatility characteristics noted above for OSB.

Other raw materials and energy costs. We use a significant quantity of various resins and glues in our manufacturing processes. Resin and glue product costs are influenced by changes in the prices of raw material input costs, primarily fossil fuel products. We purchase resins and glues, other raw materials, and energy used to manufacture our products in both the open market and through supply contracts. The contracts are generally with regional suppliers who agree to supply all of our needs for a certain raw material or energy within the applicable region. These contracts have terms of various lengths and typically contain price adjustment mechanisms that take into account changes in market prices.

Table of Contents

Sales, Marketing, and Distribution

Our EWP sales force is managed centrally through a main office that oversees regional sales teams. Our sales force spends a significant amount of time working with end customers who purchase our EWP. Our sales force provides a variety of technical support services, including integrated design, engineering, product specification software, distributor inventory management software, and job-pack preparation systems. Sales of plywood are handled in multiple locations, with management located centrally at headquarters.

In 2022, EWP and plywood accounted for 57% and 34%, respectively, of our Wood Products sales. The majority of our wood products are sold to leading wholesalers (including our BMD segment), home improvement centers, dealers, and industrial converters in North America. Our BMD segment is our Wood Products segment's largest customer, representing approximately 65% of our Wood Products segment's overall sales in 2022. In 2022, 77% and 32% of our Wood Products segment's EWP and plywood sales volumes, respectively, were to our BMD segment.

Building Materials Distribution

Products

We sell a broad line of building materials; including OSB, plywood, and lumber (collectively commodities), general line items such as siding, composite decking, doors, metal products, insulation, and roofing, and EWP. Except for EWP, we purchase most of these building materials from a broad base of third-party suppliers ranging from large manufacturers, such as Huber Engineered Woods, James Hardie Building Products, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, Trex Company, and Therma-Tru Corporation, to small regional producers. Substantially all of our EWP is sourced from our Wood Products segment. Our products are used in the construction of new residential housing, including single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes, the repair-and-remodeling of existing housing, the construction of light industrial and commercial buildings, and other industrial applications.

Facilities

Our BMD segment operates a nationwide network of 38 building materials distribution facilities throughout the U.S. and also operates a single component manufacturing plant. Our broad geographic presence reduces our exposure to market factors in any single region. During 2018 and 2019, we acquired wholesale building material distribution locations in Nashville,

Table of Contents

Tennessee; Medford, Oregon; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Birmingham, Alabama. These locations complemented our existing distribution business and strengthened our nationwide presence, and we have been able to broaden our product and service offerings within each of these markets.

Sales, Marketing, and Distribution

We market our building materials primarily to dealers, home improvement centers, and specialty distributors that then sell the products to end customers, who are typically homebuilders, independent contractors, and homeowners engaged in residential construction and repair-and-remodeling projects. We also market our products to a wide variety of industrial accounts, which use our products to assemble cabinets, doors, agricultural bins, crating, and other products used in industrial and construction applications.

We believe that our national presence and long-standing relationships with many of our key suppliers allow us to obtain favorable price and term arrangements and offer excellent customer service on leading brands in the building materials industry. We also believe our broad product line provides our customers with an efficient, one-stop resource for their building materials needs. We also have expertise in special-order sourcing and merchandising support, which is a key service for our home improvement center customers that choose not to stock certain items in inventory.

We sell products through two primary distribution channels: warehouse sales and direct sales. Warehouse sales are delivered from our distribution centers to our customers and direct sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without us taking physical possession of inventory. Each of our distribution centers implements its own distribution and logistics model using centralized information systems. We use internal and external trucking resources to deliver materials on a regularly scheduled basis. Our highly efficient logistics system allows us to deliver superior customer service and assist our customers in optimizing their working capital.

We have a large, decentralized sales force to support our suppliers and customers. Our sales force and product managers have local product knowledge and decision-making authority, which we believe enables them to optimize stocking, pricing, and product assortment decisions. Our sales force has access to centralized information technology systems, an extensive vendor base, and corporate-level working capital support, which we believe complements our localized sales model.

We regularly evaluate opportunities to introduce new products. Broadening our product offering helps us serve as a one-stop resource for building materials, which we believe improves our customers' purchasing and operating efficiencies. The introduction of new products is primarily driven by customer demand or product extensions originating from our vendors. We believe our long-standing customer and vendor relationships allow us to respond to customer feedback and introduce new products more rapidly. Broadening our product offering also helps us drive additional products through our distribution system, thereby increasing our scale and efficiency.

Customers

Our customer relationships range from locally owned single-location facilities to large national dealers and home improvement centers across the U.S., with Builders FirstSource and Home Depot being our largest customers. Substantially all sales to Builders FirstSource were recorded in our BMD segment, and sales to Home Depot were recorded in our BMD and Wood Products segments. For additional information related to customers of our Wood Products and BMD segments, see the "Sales, Marketing, and Distribution" sections above.

Competition

Wood Products. The wood products manufacturing markets in which we operate are large and highly competitive. In EWP, we compete against several major North American EWP producers, such as Weyerhaeuser Company, Pacific Woodtech Corporation, and Roseburg Forest Products, as well as several other smaller firms. Our EWP products also face competition because EWP may be substituted by dimension lumber and truss products in many building applications. In plywood, we compete with Georgia-Pacific, the largest manufacturer in North America, other large producers such as Roseburg Forest Products, foreign imports produced principally in South America, and several smaller domestic producers. Our plywood products also face competition from OSB producers, because OSB can be substituted for plywood in many building and industrial applications. We have leading market positions in the manufacture of EWP and plywood. In the wood products manufacturing markets, we compete primarily on the basis of price, quality, availability, and particularly with respect to EWP, customer service, product support, and performance features offered. Most of our competitors are located in the U.S. and Canada, although we also compete with manufacturers in other countries, particularly when the U.S. dollar and economy are stronger relative to other countries, encouraging foreign producers to sell more of their plywood into the U.S.

Table of Contents

Building Materials Distribution. The building materials distribution markets in which we operate are highly fragmented, and we compete in each of our geographic and product markets with national, regional, and local distributors. Our wholesale distribution competitors include BlueLinx Holdings Inc., Specialty Building Products Inc., Weyerhaeuser Company, Dixie Plywood and Lumber, OrePac, Woodgrain Inc., and Capital Lumber, among others. We also compete with wholesale brokers, specialty distributors, and certain buying cooperatives. We compete on the basis of pricing and availability of product, service and delivery capabilities, ability to assist customers with problem solving, extension of credit terms, customer relationships, geographic coverage, and breadth of product offerings. We distribute products for some manufacturers that also engage in direct sales to our distribution customers. Proximity to customers is also an important factor in minimizing shipping costs and facilitating quick order turnaround and on-time delivery. We believe our ability to obtain quality materials, from both internal and external sources, the scale and efficiency of our national footprint, and our focus on customer service are our primary competitive advantages in this segment. Also, financial stability is important to suppliers and customers in choosing distributors and allows for more favorable terms on which we are able to obtain products from our suppliers and sell to our customers.

We also present information pertaining to our segments, including product sales and customer concentration, in Note 16, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Form 10-K.

Human Capital Management

Human capital management and our ability to attract, develop and retain talent that embraces our shared values of integrity, safety, respect, and pursuit of excellence have been and will continue to be critical to executing our previously described strategic objectives.

At Boise Cascade, the health and safety of our 6,780 employees is core to how we do business. We collect and report common lagging indicators of safety performance, and our safety programs include tools, training, and resources that allow us to collect, analyze, and share leading indicators of safety-related hazards broadly across our organization. We believe that our focus on leading indicators helps to prevent future incidents and injuries. Living our values means driving the expectation that each of our employees has ownership in safety and the authority to stop work if there is a safety concern. Our safety commitment extends to minimizing the spread and reducing the severity of COVID-19. Our cross-functional crisis team continues to monitor and adjust our protocols as infection rates fluctuate and we continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control’s guidance and communicate regularly to our employees.

Our Code of Ethics guides the actions and behaviors of anyone working for, representing, or partnering with Boise Cascade. The code establishes the expectations for ensuring we have an inclusive and harassment-free work environment. We have an open-door policy that encourages employees to speak up about any work-related issues, suggestions, or ideas. We also provide a confidential CARE Line, which offers an additional way to report behavior or activity that may be unsafe, unethical, or illegal.

We are committed to providing comprehensive benefit programs. We offer benefits that will help our employees and their families live healthier and more secure lives. Our Total Rewards program provides competitive pay, comprehensive health benefits, 401(k) savings plans, well-being programs, community engagement opportunities, education aid, and career recognition and development.

Selecting and developing talent is a vital aspect of our human capital strategy because our employees are at the heart of our Purpose and delivering on our promises to our stakeholders. We focus on developing talent from within our businesses and supplement with finding the right external hires to support our key strategic objectives of accelerating innovation, digital technology, and diversity, equity and inclusion. We strive for excellence in business continuity and personal growth by developing our employees as individuals through targeted leadership programs, experiences, and assignments. Individual development includes annual performance reviews with development plans, access to a variety of resources, and ongoing education opportunities.

In October 2022 we successfully launched a new integrated Human Capital Management (HCM) system. The HCM system provides the capability to increase effectiveness and efficiency by improving automation of HR transactions and reporting, enhancing access for managers and HR, and adding capacity and scalability, including mobile access for employees, all within one platform. The initial launch updated our Core HR, Payroll, Benefits, Onboarding and Recruiting processes. Additional modules are planned for 2023, which includes a Learning Management System.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, operating results, financial condition, cash flows, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Competitive Risks

A portion of the products we manufacture or purchase and resell are commodities whose price is determined by the market's supply and demand for such products, and the markets in which we operate are cyclical and competitive.

A portion of the building products we produce or distribute, including OSB, plywood, and lumber, are commodities that are widely available from other manufacturers or distributors with prices and volumes determined frequently in an auction market based on participants' perceptions of short-term supply and demand factors. At times, the price for any one or more of the products we produce or distribute may fall below our cash production or purchase costs, requiring us to either incur short-term losses on product sales or curtail production at one or more of our manufacturing facilities. Therefore, our profitability with respect to these commodity products depends, in significant part, on effective facilities maintenance programs, and on managing our cost structure, particularly raw materials and labor, which represent the largest components of our operating costs. Commodity wood product prices have historically been 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.

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 in the U.S. New residential construction activity has historically been volatile with demand for new residential construction influenced by seasonal weather factors, mortgage availability and rates, housing affordability constraints, unemployment levels, wage growth, household formation rates, domestic population growth, immigration rates, residential vacancy and foreclosure rates, demand for second homes, consumer confidence, and other general economic factors. Furthermore, changing demographics could impact product consumption and demand, including urbanization compounding issues around affordability, increasing importance of multi-family housing, declining size of single-family entry level housing, increasing proportion of homes in warmer and/or coastal areas using slab-on-grade construction, reduced birthing statistics, and changing baby boomer needs freeing up housing capacity.

Industry supply for the products we produce and distribute is influenced primarily by price-induced changes in the operating rates of existing facilities, but is also influenced over time by the introduction of new product technologies, capacity additions and closures, the restart of idled capacity, and log availability. The balance of supply and demand in the U.S. is also heavily influenced by imported products, principally from Canada and South America.

In addition, we sell wood chips that are a byproduct of processing logs at our manufacturing operations, or created through the chipping of small-diameter logs that we are unable to process at our manufacturing operations. Our wood chips are primarily sold to paper mills in close proximity to our operations which convert the chips into wood pulp. Periods of high output from wood-based operations, closure of paper mills in the regions that we operate, declines in demand for paper grades that utilize our chips, or substitution of our chips with other recycled fiber sources, can negatively affect the balance of supply and demand for chips. An oversupply of chips has a negative impact on our chip price realizations and profitability.

Table of Contents

We have very limited control of the foregoing, and as a result, our profitability and cash flow may fluctuate materially in response to changes in the supply and demand balance for our primary products.

Our industry is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, our sales, operating results, and growth strategies could be negatively affected.

The markets for the products we manufacture in our Wood Products segment are highly competitive. Our competitors range from very large, fully integrated forest and building products firms to smaller firms that may manufacture only one or a few types of products. We also compete less directly with firms that manufacture substitutes for wood building products. Certain mills operated by our competitors may be lower-cost manufacturers than the mills operated by us.

Our Wood Products segment provides financial incentives, including temporary price protection, to various parties along the supply chain (including wholesale distributors, dealers, and homebuilders) to increase sales of and loyalty to our EWP products. As a result of these commercial arrangements, the full effects of announced price increases may be delayed or reduced, impacting our financial results.

The building products distribution industry in which our BMD segment competes in is highly fragmented and competitive, and the barriers to entry for local competitors are relatively low. Competitive factors in our industry include pricing and availability of product, service and delivery capabilities, ability to assist customers with problem-solving, extension of credit terms, customer relationships, geographic coverage, and breadth of product offerings. Also, financial stability is important to suppliers and customers in choosing distributors and allows for more favorable terms to obtain products from suppliers and sell products to customers. If our financial condition deteriorates in the future, our relationships with suppliers and customers may be negatively affected.

Some of the businesses with which we compete are part of larger companies and therefore have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. These resources may afford those competitors greater purchasing power, increased financial flexibility, and more capital resources for expansion and improvement, which may enable those competitors to compete more effectively than we can. In addition, certain suppliers to our distribution business also sell and distribute their products directly to our customers. Additional manufacturers of products distributed by us may elect to sell and distribute directly to our retail customers in the future or enter into exclusive supply arrangements with other distributors. Finally, we may not be able to maintain our costs at a level sufficiently low for us to compete effectively. If we are unable to compete effectively, our net sales and net income will be reduced.

Some of our products are vulnerable to declines in demand due to competing technologies or materials, as well as changes in building code provisions.

Our products may compete with alternative products in certain market segments. For example, plastic, concrete, steel, wood/plastic or composite materials may be used by builders as alternatives to the products produced by our Wood Products segment, such as EWP and plywood. Changes in prices for oil, chemicals, and wood-based fiber can change the competitive position of our products relative to available alternatives and could increase the substitution of those products for our products. As the use of these alternatives grows, demand for our products may decline.

Our principal manufactured products are also subject to substitution from other wood-based products, such as EWP facing competition from numerous dimension lumber producers and other strand-based EWP that we do not produce, or plywood losing further market share to OSB in residential and non-residential applications. In addition, we have seen an increase in floor truss capacity by a number of our dealer customers, partially due to the limited supply of I-joists over the last two years. The expansion of truss manufacturing could negatively impact our I-joist market share and net sales prices.

Building code provisions have also been implemented in certain jurisdictions to address concerns for firefighter safety related to the collapse of floors during residential fires. The I-joists that we manufacture are subject to this code change. As local jurisdictions adopt the new code, we may be competitively disadvantaged in houses built with ground floors over unfinished basements and could be subject to substitution by dimension lumber or other products.

Operational Risks

Cyber security risks related to the technology used in our operations and other business processes, as well as security breaches of company, customer, employee, and vendor information, could adversely affect our business.

We rely on various information technology systems to capture, process, store, and report data and interact with customers, vendors, and employees. We also rely on information technology systems that automate aspects of our manufacturing processes. We work to install new, and upgrade existing, information technology systems and provide employee awareness training around phishing, malware, and other cyber risks to ensure that we are protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. Despite careful security and controls design, including independent third-party assessments, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers, have been subject to security breaches and cyber-attacks. To date, none of the known security breaches or cyber-attacks have had material adverse effects on our operations. However, in the future, network, system, and data breaches could result in the misappropriation of sensitive data or operational disruptions, including interruption to systems availability and denial of access to and misuse of applications required by our customers to conduct business with us. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the systems. Misuse of internal applications; theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, or other corporate assets; and unauthorized disclosure of confidential information could stem from such incidents. Delayed sales, slowed production, or other repercussions resulting from these disruptions could result in lost sales, business delays, and negative publicity and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

A material disruption at one of our manufacturing facilities could prevent us from meeting customer demand, including the demand from our Building Materials Distribution business, reduce our sales, and/or negatively affect our financial results.

Any of our manufacturing facilities, or any of our machines within an otherwise operational facility, could cease operations unexpectedly due to a number of events, including but not limited to:

•labor difficulties, including the inability to staff our facilities due to a global health pandemic;

•equipment failure, particularly a press at one of our major EWP production facilities;

•fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or other catastrophes, which may increase in frequency, severity and duration due to the physical impacts of climate change;

•unscheduled maintenance outages;

•utility, information technology, telephonic, and transportation infrastructure disruptions;

•other operational problems; or

•ecoterrorism or threats of ecoterrorism.

Any downtime or facility damage could prevent us from meeting customer demand for our products and/or require us to make unplanned capital expenditures. If our machines or facilities were to incur significant downtime, our ability to satisfy customer requirements would be impaired, resulting in lower sales and net income.

Because approximately 65% of our Wood Products sales in 2022 were to our BMD business, a material disruption at our Wood Products facilities would also negatively affect our BMD business. We are therefore exposed to a larger extent to the risk of disruption to our Wood Products manufacturing facilities due to our vertical integration and the resulting impact on our BMD business.

In addition, a number of our suppliers are subject to the manufacturing facility disruption risks noted above. Our suppliers' inability to produce the necessary raw materials for our manufacturing processes or supply the finished goods that we distribute through our BMD segment may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

Labor disruptions, shortages of skilled and technical labor, or increased labor costs could adversely affect our business.

As of February 10, 2023, we had approximately 6,780 employees. Approximately 19% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. As of February 10, 2023, we had ten collective bargaining agreements. One agreement covering approximately 90 employees at our Canadian EWP facility expired on December 31, 2022, but the terms

Table of Contents

and conditions of this agreement remain in effect pending negotiation of a new agreement. We may not be able to renew this agreement or may renew it on terms that are less favorable to us than the current agreement. If any of these agreements are not renewed or extended upon their termination, we could experience a material labor disruption, strike, or significantly increased labor costs at one or more of our facilities, either in the course of negotiations of a labor agreement or otherwise.

In addition, our ability to attract and retain talent is challenging due to a shortage of both hourly and technically skilled workers for our manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as changing workforce expectations including flexible or remote work arrangements that we may be unable to provide. Labor disruptions or shortages could prevent us from meeting customer demands or result in increased costs, thereby reducing our sales and profitability.

We may be unable to attract and retain key management and other key employees.

Our key managers are important to our success and may be difficult to replace because they have a significant amount of experience in wood products manufacturing and building materials distribution. While our senior management team has considerable experience, certain members of our management team are nearing or have reached retirement age. In addition, certain of our employees have assumed key roles in recent years and may not have the experience of retiring key managers. The failure to successfully formulate and implement succession plans for retiring employees, implement training plans for new key managers, or our inability to attract new talent to our Company, could result in inadequate depth of institutional knowledge or inadequate skill sets, which could adversely affect our business.

Product shortages, loss of key suppliers, and our dependence on third-party suppliers and manufacturers could affect our financial health.

Our ability to offer a wide variety of products to our BMD customers is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate product supply from manufacturers and other suppliers. Our customers' purchasing decisions for commodity products we sell are primarily based on price and availability, and these commodities may be sourced from various manufacturers. In the case of the general line and EWP products that we distribute, brand preference and product performance characteristics can have a high degree of influence on our customers' purchasing decision. Supply chains, including key products purchased from our suppliers, may be disrupted during a global health pandemic. In addition, although we have agreements in place with many of our suppliers, such agreements are generally terminable by either party on relatively short notice. The loss of, or a substantial decrease in the availability of, products from our suppliers or the loss of key supplier arrangements could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

We depend on third parties for transportation services and limited availability or increases in costs of transportation could adversely affect our business and operations.

Our business depends on the transportation of a large number of products, via rail or truck. In Wood Products, we rely on third parties for inbound receipt of raw materials and outbound movements of finished goods. In BMD, we rely primarily on third parties for inbound receipt of the products we resell and manage the outbound movement of products to our customers with a combination of internal and external resources. In addition, we are subject to seasonal capacity constraints and weather-related delays for rail and truck transportation.

If any of these providers fail to deliver raw materials or finished goods for resale to us in a timely manner, we may be unable to meet our customer demands. In addition, if any of our third-party transportation providers fail to deliver the goods we manufacture or distribute in a timely manner, we may be unable to sell those products at full value. In addition, if any of these third parties were to cease operations or cease doing business with us, we may be unable to replace them at a reasonable cost.

Any failure of a third-party transportation provider to deliver raw materials or finished products in a timely manner could harm our reputation, negatively affect our customer relationships, and have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows, and financial condition.

In addition, an increase in transportation rates or fuel surcharges could adversely affect our sales, profitability, and cash flows.

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 43% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2022. Our primary source of wood fiber is logs. Log prices have been historically cyclical in response to changes in domestic and foreign demand

Table of Contents

and supply. In the future, we expect the level of foreign demand for log exports from the western U.S. to fluctuate based on the economic activity in China and other Pacific Rim countries, currency exchange rates, trade policies, and the availability of log supplies from other countries such as Canada, Russia, and New Zealand. Sustained periods of high log costs may impair the cost competitiveness of our manufacturing facilities.

In our Pacific Northwest operations, a substantial portion of our logs are purchased from governmental authorities, including federal, state, and local governments. 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 log and fiber supply from both government and private lands. Availability of harvested logs and fiber may be further limited by pandemics, fire, insect infestation, disease, ice storms, windstorms, hurricanes, flooding, changing temperature and precipitation patterns, and other natural and man-made causes, thereby reducing supply and increasing prices. Changes in global climate conditions could amplify one or more of these factors. If we are unable to negotiate purchases for our log requirements in a particular region to satisfy our log needs at satisfactory prices or at all, which could include private purchases, open-market purchases, and purchases from governmental sources, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We also purchase OSB, which is used as the vertical web to assemble I-joists. OSB accounted for approximately 6% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2022. OSB is a commodity, and prices have been historically volatile in response to industry capacity restarts and operating rates, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.

Our strategy includes pursuing acquisitions. We may be unable to efficiently integrate acquired operations or realize expected benefits from such acquisitions.

We may not be able to integrate the operations of acquired businesses, including those of Coastal Plywood, which we acquired in July 2022 and which include mill operations in Havana, Florida, and Chapman, Alabama, in an efficient and cost-effective manner or without disruption to our existing operations or may not be able to realize expected benefits. Acquisitions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including some that may not be identifiable or resolvable in due diligence. Subsequent to making the investment, performance of the acquired assets is subject to economic uncertainties, as described in our other risk factors, as well as difficulties integrating acquired personnel into our business, the potential loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers, difficulties in integrating different computer and accounting systems, exposure to unknown or unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies, and the diversion of management attention and resources from existing operations.

We evaluate potential acquisitions from time to time and have, in the past, grown through acquisitions. In the future, we may be unable to successfully identify attractive potential acquisitions or effectively integrate potential acquisitions due to multiple factors, including those noted below, and potential issues related to regulatory review of the proposed transactions. We may also be required to incur additional debt in order to consummate acquisitions, which debt may be substantial and may limit our flexibility in using our cash flow from operations.

Our failure to integrate the Coastal Plywood operations or future acquired businesses effectively, realize expected benefits, or manage other consequences of our acquisitions could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

Financial Risks

A significant portion of our sales are concentrated with a small number of customers.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, our top ten customers represented approximately 46% of our sales, with one customer accounting for approximately 12% of total sales. At December 31, 2022, receivables from two customers accounted for approximately 17% and 14% of total receivables. Although we believe that our relationships with our customers are strong, the loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flow, and liquidity.

Table of Contents

Adverse market conditions may increase the credit risk from our customers.

Our BMD and Wood Products segments extend credit to numerous customers who are generally susceptible to the same economic business risks as we are. Unfavorable market conditions could result in financial failures of one or more of our significant customers. Furthermore, we may not be aware of any deterioration in our customers' financial position. In addition, as customers merge and consolidate, credit risk may become concentrated among fewer customers. If our customers' financial positions become impaired, our ability to fully collect receivables from such customers could be impaired and negatively affect our operating results, cash flow, and liquidity.

Our long-lived assets, goodwill, and/or intangible assets may become impaired, which may require us to record non-cash impairment charges that could have a material impact on our results of operations.

We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We also test goodwill in each of our reporting units and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may exceed fair value. To the extent that long-lived assets, goodwill, and/or intangible assets do not provide the future economic benefit we expect, it may result in non-cash impairment or accelerated depreciation charges. These non-cash impairments or accelerated depreciation charges could have a material impact on our results of operations in the period in which these charges are recognized.

For additional information and a discussion regarding the impact of impairment of long-lived assets and accelerated depreciation charges on our results of operations and financial condition, see Note 6, Curtailment of Manufacturing Facility, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and "Long-Lived Asset Impairment" included in "Critical Accounting Estimates" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K.

Our operations require substantial capital, and recent significant capital investments and acquisitions have increased fixed costs, which could negatively affect our profitability.

In recent years, we have completed a number of capital investments; including the replacement or rebuild of veneer dryers and log utilization centers (or improvements to other manufacturing equipment), purchasing and leasing new or additional land and warehouse space for expansion, and increasing our outdoor storage acreage. These capital investments, along with acquisitions, have resulted in increased fixed costs, which could negatively affect our profitability if our revenue and operating results do not offset our incremental fixed costs. Capital expenditures for the expansion or replacement of existing facilities or equipment or to comply with future changes in environmental laws and regulations may be substantial. Although we maintain our production equipment with regular periodic and scheduled maintenance, we cannot guarantee that key pieces of equipment in our various manufacturing facilities will not need to be repaired or replaced or that we will not incur significant additional costs associated with environmental compliance. The costs of repairing or replacing such equipment and the associated downtime of the affected production line could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. If, for any reason, we are unable to provide for our operating needs, capital expenditures, and other cash requirements on economic terms, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our ability to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs is subject to various risks.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness and fund other liquidity needs depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business, and other factors, including the availability of financing in the banking and capital markets as well as the other risks described herein. In particular, demand for our products correlates to a significant degree to the level of residential construction activity in North America, which historically has been characterized by significant cyclicality.

Table of Contents

We cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us at a cost or in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to service our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs, we could be forced to curtail our operations, reorganize our capital structure, or liquidate some or all of our assets.

The terms of our debt agreements restrict, and covenants contained in agreements governing indebtedness in the future may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on our company and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities.

Our debt agreements contain, and any future indebtedness of ours may contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us. Our debt agreements limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, among other things, to:

•incur additional debt;

•declare or pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions to stockholders;

•make investments;

•create liens or use assets in security in other transactions;

•merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease, or dispose of substantially all of our assets;

•enter into transactions with affiliates;

•sell or transfer certain assets; and

•in the case of our revolving credit facility, make prepayments on our senior notes and subordinated indebtedness.

In addition, our revolving credit facility provides that if an event of default occurs or excess availability under our revolving credit facility drops below a threshold amount equal to the greater of 10% of the Line Cap (as defined in the Amended Agreement) and $35 million (and until such time as excess availability for two consecutive fiscal months exceeds that threshold amount and no event of default has occurred and is continuing), we will be required to maintain a monthly minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0, determined on a trailing twelve-month basis.

Our failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.

Risks Relating to Laws and Regulations

Compliance with data privacy and security laws and regulations could adversely affect our business.

Many U.S. states have enacted data privacy and security laws and regulations that govern the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, storage, disposal, and protection of sensitive personal information. In the ordinary course of business we capture, process, store, and transmit confidential business information and certain personal information relating to our employees, customers and vendors that are subject to these laws and regulations. The legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection continues to evolve, and there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data protection issues. Ongoing efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations may require subsequent modifications to our policies, procedures and systems. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of regulatory legislation, which may impose substantial penalties for violations, increased costs for investigations, monitoring and compliance, potential litigation, and possible damage to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

The impacts of climate change, and related legislative and regulatory responses intended to reduce climate change, may adversely impact our business.

There is increasing concern that climate change will cause significant changes in temperatures and weather patterns around the globe, an increase in the frequency, severity, and duration of extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, and water scarcity and poor water quality. These events could adversely impact both the availability of raw materials required for

Table of Contents

manufacture of our products and the delivery of products to our distribution facilities. They could disrupt the operation of our supply chain and the productivity of our suppliers, increase our production and transportation costs, impose capacity restraints, and impact the purchases of our products. These events could also compound adverse economic conditions and impact consumer confidence. As a result, the effects of climate change could have a long-term adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

In the United States, it is possible that some form of new or additional legislation and regulations will be enacted at the federal level to reduce or mitigate the impact of climate change. If we, or our suppliers, are required to comply with these laws and regulations, or if we choose to take voluntary steps to reduce or mitigate our impact on climate change, we may experience increased costs for energy, production, transportation, and raw materials, increased costs related to environmental monitoring and reporting, increased capital expenditures, or increased insurance premiums and deductibles, which could adversely impact our operations. Inconsistency of legislation and regulations among jurisdictions may also affect the costs of compliance with such laws and regulations. Any assessment of the potential impact or timing of future climate change legislation, regulations, or industry standards is uncertain given the evolving nature of the heightened focus on climate change.

For additional information on how climate change regulation and compliance affects our business, see "Environmental" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K.

We are subject to environmental regulation and environmental compliance expenditures, as well as other potential environmental liabilities.

Our businesses are subject to a wide range of general and industry-specific environmental laws and regulations, particularly with respect to air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste management, and site remediation. Compliance with these laws and regulations is a significant factor in the operation of our businesses. Enactment of new environmental laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations might require us to make significant expenditures or restrict operations.

As an owner and operator of real estate, we may be liable under environmental laws for the cleanup of past and present spills and releases of hazardous or toxic substances on or from our properties and operations. We may also be contractually obligated to indemnify third parties under environmental laws for the cleanup of past spills and releases of hazardous or toxic substances for properties which we no longer own and operate. We could be found liable under these laws whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such substances. In some cases, this liability may exceed the property's value.

We may be unable to generate funds or other sources of liquidity and capital to fund unforeseen environmental liabilities or expenditures to the extent we are not indemnified by third parties. For example, in connection with prior transactions, certain third parties are generally obligated to indemnify us for hazardous substance releases and other environmental violations that occurred prior to such transactions. However, these third parties may not have sufficient funds to fully satisfy their indemnification obligations when required, and in some cases, we may not be contractually entitled to indemnification by them.

For additional information on how environmental regulation and compliance affects our business, see "Environmental" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K.

The enactment of tax reform legislation could adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.

Various levels of government are increasingly focused on tax reform and other legislative actions to increase tax revenue. Such proposed changes, as well as regulations and legal decisions interpreting and applying these changes, may have significant impacts on our effective tax rate, cash tax expense, and net deferred tax attributes in future periods.

The nature of our business exposes us to product liability, product warranty, casualty, manufacturing and construction defects, and other claims.

We may be involved in product liability, product warranty, casualty, manufacturing and construction defects, and other claims relating to the products we manufacture and distribute, and services we provide. We also rely on manufacturers and other suppliers to provide us with many of the products we sell and distribute. Because we do not have direct control over the quality of such products manufactured or supplied by such third-party suppliers, we are exposed to risks relating to the quality of such products. In addition, we are exposed to potential claims arising from the conduct of our employees, and homebuilders and their subcontractors, for which we may be contractually liable. Although we currently maintain what we believe to be

Table of Contents

suitable and adequate insurance in excess of our self-insured amounts, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms or that such insurance will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. Product liability, product warranty, casualty, construction defect, and other claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Claims of this nature could also have a negative impact on our reputation and customer confidence in our products and our company. We cannot assure that any current or future claims will not adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent a stockholder from being able to sell shares at or above the price paid for them. The market price for our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including:

•our operating and financial performance and prospects;

•our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;

•the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements, and our filings with the SEC;

•changes in key personnel;

•strategic actions by us, our customers, or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

•changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry;

•the failure of research analysts to cover our common stock;

•general economic, industry, and market conditions;

•new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;

•investors' perception of our commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility;

•material litigation or government investigations;

•changes in general conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, pandemics, or responses to such events;

•sales of common stock by us or members of our management team;

•the granting of equity or equity-based incentives;

•volume of trading in our common stock (which may be impacted by future sales or repurchases of our common stock);

•changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; and

•the impact of the factors described elsewhere in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K.

In addition, the stock market has regularly experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price.

Table of Contents

We may not pay cash dividends in the future.

In November 2017, our board of directors approved a dividend policy pursuant to which we have paid quarterly cash dividends to holders of our common stock. In addition to these quarterly dividends, we also paid special dividends in each of the last five years. However, the future declaration and payment of dividends will continue to be at the discretion of our board of directors and the dividend policy may be suspended or canceled at its discretion at any time. Declaration of future dividends will depend upon legal capital requirements and surplus, our future operations and earnings, general financial condition, material cash requirements, restrictions imposed by our asset-based credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes, applicable laws, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Unless we continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon its appreciation. Our common stock may not appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which it was purchased.

Certain provisions of our organizational documents and other contractual provisions may make it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors and may discourage hostile takeover attempts that some of our stockholders may consider to be beneficial.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors in exercising its duty of care determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of the company and our stockholders. The provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include, among other things, the following:

• the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without stockholder approval;

• stockholder action can only be taken at a special or regular meeting and not by written consent;

• advance notice procedures for nominating candidates to our board of directors or presenting matters at stockholder meetings;

• removal of directors only for cause;

•allowing only our board of directors the ability to create additional director seats and fill vacancies on our board of directors; and

• super-majority voting requirements to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

We have elected in our certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL), an antitakeover law. However, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203. The provisions in our certificate of incorporation prohibit us from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.

While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our board of directors, they could enable the board of directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.

"Risk Factors." References to "fiscal year" or "fiscal" refer to our fiscal year ending on December 31 in each calendar year.

The following sections discuss our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. For a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, please refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview

Company Background

Boise Cascade is a large, vertically-integrated wood products manufacturer and building materials distributor with widespread operations throughout the United States (U.S.) and one manufacturing facility in Canada. We completed an initial public offering of our common stock on February 11, 2013. We have two reportable segments: (i) Wood Products, which primarily manufactures engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood; and (ii) Building Materials Distribution (BMD), which is a wholesale distributor of building materials. For more information, see Note 3, Revenues, and Note 16, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and "Item 1. Business" of this Form 10-K. Our products are used in the construction of new residential housing, including single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes, the repair-and-remodeling of existing housing, the construction of light industrial and commercial buildings, and industrial applications. We have a broad base of customers, which includes a diverse mix of dealers, home improvement centers, leading wholesalers, specialty distributors, and industrial converters. Our Wood Products and BMD segments are vertically-integrated from wood fiber procurement through distribution. During 2022, approximately 65% of our Wood Products segment sales, or approximately 77% and 32% of our Wood Product segment's EWP and plywood sales volumes, respectively, were to our BMD segment.

Executive Summary

We recorded income from operations of $1,157.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $971.8 million during the same period in the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, income increased by $44.0 million to $575.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $531.2 million in 2021. The increase in segment income was due primarily to higher EWP sales prices. This increase was offset partially by lower plywood sales prices, lower EWP sales volumes, and higher wood fiber costs and other manufacturing costs. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased due to the acquisition of two plywood facilities on July 25, 2022. In our BMD segment, income improved $146.0 million to $627.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $481.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, driven by a gross margin increase of $215.5 million, primarily related to improved gross margins across our EWP and general line products. The margin improvement was offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses of $56.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.

On July 25, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in Coastal Plywood Company (Coastal Plywood), and its plywood manufacturing operations located in Havana, Florida, and Chapman, Alabama (the Acquisition) for a purchase price of $515.2 million, including closing date working capital of $25.2 million. We continue to integrate these facilities into our system, which will provide incremental stress-rated veneer needed to optimize and expand our southeastern U.S. EWP production capacity. In addition, the Havana plywood operation improves our mix of specialty plywood products and we believe is well positioned geographically to support plywood demand in the southeastern U.S.

We ended 2022 with $998.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $444.4 million of debt. At December 31, 2022, we had $396.2 million of unused committed bank line availability. We generated $249.4 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2022, as cash provided by operations was offset partially by funding the Acquisition, capital spending and dividends paid on our common stock. A further description of our cash sources and uses for the comparative periods are discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

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. While mortgage rates have declined from peak levels in late 2022 and home price increases have moderated, home affordability remains a challenge for consumers. The Federal Reserve's upcoming actions in response to inflationary data and what impacts these actions have on mortgage rates and the broader economy will continue to influence the near-term demand environment. We expect a deceleration in housing starts, with various industry forecasts for 2023 single- and multi-family housing starts in the U.S generally ranging from 1.1 million to 1.3 million units, compared with actual housing starts of 1.55 million in 2022 and 1.60 million in 2021, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. As it relates to home improvement spending, the age of U.S. housing stock and elevated levels of homeowner equity provide a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending. While likely tempered by an economic slowdown, we anticipate the primary drivers of repair-and-remodeling activity to continue to be supportive of 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. We expect future commodity product pricing and commodity input costs to 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. In addition, we have experienced price erosion and reduced volumes on our EWP products due to slowing economic activity and decreased demand for new residential construction. As such, we have and will continue to manage our production levels to meet current and expected sales demand, which will result in operating some of our facilities below their capacity until demand improves.

Factors That Affect Our Operating Results and Trends

Our results of operations and financial performance are influenced by a variety of factors, including: (i) the commodity nature of the products we manufacture and distribute; (ii) general economic and industry conditions affecting demand; and (iii) cost and availability of raw materials, including wood fiber and glues and resins. These factors have historically produced cyclicality in our results of operations, and we expect this cyclicality to continue in future periods.

Commodity Nature of Our Products

Many of the building products we manufacture or distribute, including OSB, plywood, and lumber, are commodities that are widely available from other manufacturers or distributors with prices and volumes determined frequently in an auction market based on participants' perceptions of short-term supply and demand factors. At times, the price for any one or more of the products we produce or distribute may fall below our cash production or purchase costs, requiring us to either incur short-term losses on product sales or cease production at one or more of our manufacturing facilities. Therefore, our profitability with respect to these commodity products depends, in significant part, on effective facilities maintenance programs, and on managing our cost structure, particularly raw materials and labor, which represent the largest components of our operating costs. Composite structural panel and lumber prices have been volatile historically.

Table of Contents

The following table provides changes in the average composite panel, including certain panel subcategories, and average composite lumber prices as reflected by Random Lengths, an industry publication, for the period noted below. In addition to the year-over-year average price changes, 2022 and 2021 were years of exceptional price volatility when compared to historical results.


			Year Ended December 31
			2022 versus 2021
Increase (decrease) in composite panel prices			(18)%
Increase (decrease) in Western Fir plywood prices			(12)%
Increase (decrease) in Southern Pine plywood prices			(10)%
Increase (decrease) in OSB prices			(25)%
Increase (decrease) in composite lumber prices			(9)%

In our Wood Products segment, we manufacture plywood, but not OSB, and therefore our reported prices may not trend with the overall composite panel price index. Our BMD segment 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 may result in declines in sales and profitability. For further discussion of the impact of commodity prices, see "Our Operating Results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General Economic and Industry Conditions Affecting Demand

The level of housing starts is especially important to our results of operations. New residential construction activity has historically been volatile with demand for new residential construction influenced by seasonal weather factors, mortgage availability and rates, housing affordability constraints, unemployment levels, wage growth, household formation rates, domestic population growth, immigration rates, residential vacancy and foreclosure rates, demand for second homes, consumer confidence, and other general economic factors. Furthermore, changing demographics could impact product consumption and demand including urbanization compounding issues around affordability, increasing importance of multi-family housing, declining size of single-family entry level housing, increasing proportion of homes in warmer and/or coastal areas using slab-on-grade construction, reduced birthing statistics, and changing baby boomer needs freeing up housing capacity. In addition, EWP demand will be highly influenced by single-family housing starts.

Industry supply for the products we produce and distribute is influenced primarily by price-induced changes in the operating rates of existing facilities, but is also influenced over time by the introduction of new product technologies and substitutes, capacity additions and closures, the restart of idled capacity, and log availability. The balance of supply and demand in the U.S. is also heavily influenced by imported products, principally from Canada and South America.

We believe that our product line diversification provides us some protection from declines in new residential construction. Our products are used not only in new residential construction, but also in residential repair-and-remodeling projects. We believe the overall age of the U.S. housing stock, resales of existing homes, and increased focus on making homes more energy efficient will continue to support long-term growth in repair-and-remodeling expenditures and increased demand through home improvement centers and our other customers that service professional contractors.

Cost and Availability of Raw Materials

Our principal raw material is wood fiber, which accounted for approximately 43% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation), for our Wood Products segment in 2022. Logs comprised approximately 72% of our wood fiber costs during 2022, and we satisfy our log requirements through a combination of purchases under supply agreements, open-market purchases, and purchases pursuant to contracts awarded under public auctions.

The following table provides the change in our average per-unit log costs for the period noted below:

Year Ended December 31

2022 versus 2021

Increase (decrease) in per-unit log costs

Table of Contents

We also purchase OSB, which is used as the vertical web to assemble I-joists. OSB accounted for approximately 6% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2022. OSB is a commodity, and prices have been historically 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.

We also use various resins and glues in our manufacturing processes, which accounted for approximately 5% of the aggregate amount of materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for our Wood Products segment in 2022. The costs of resins and glues are influenced by changes in the prices of raw material input costs, primarily fossil fuel products.

We purchase many of our raw materials through long-term contracts that contain price adjustment mechanisms that take into account changes in market prices. Therefore, although our long-term contracts provide us with supplies of raw materials and energy that are more stable than open-market purchases, in many cases, they may not alleviate fluctuations in market prices.

2022 Compared With 2021

Sales

For the year ended December 31, 2022, total sales increased $461.2 million, or 6%, to $8,387.3 million from $7,926.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. As described below, the increase in sales was driven by the changes in sales prices and volumes for the products we manufacture and distribute with single-family residential construction activity being the key demand driver for our sales. During 2022, U.S. housing starts decreased 3%, driven by a decrease in single-family starts of 11%, compared with 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, average composite panel and average composite lumber prices were 18% and 9% lower, respectively, compared with the same period in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite panel and lumber pricing. These decreases in composite commodity pricing impacted our sales prices in both of our segments, as noted below.

Wood Products. During the year ended December 31, 2022, sales, including sales to our BMD segment, increased $145.1 million, or 7%, to $2,115.9 million from $1,970.8 million in 2021. The increase in sales was driven by higher sales prices for I-joists and LVL (collectively referred to as EWP) of 44% and 41%, respectively, resulting in increased sales of $152.3 million and $155.5 million, respectively. The increase in EWP pricing was due to realizations of previously announced price increases and the expiration of certain temporary price protection arrangements. Higher sales volumes for plywood of 5% resulted in increased sales of $36.5 million. Plywood sales volumes increased due to the Acquisition. In addition, other sales, including by-products and laminated beams, increased sales by $12.2 million. These increases were offset partially by lower plywood sales prices of 14%, resulting in decreased sales of $109.3 million. In addition, I-joist and LVL sales volumes decreased 21% and 3%, respectively, resulting in decreased sales of $92.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively. I-joist and LVL sales volumes decreased due to a decline in housing starts and significant inventory destocking through the customer channel. I-joist volumes were also impacted by the availability of product substitutes and construction methods.

Building Materials Distribution. During the year ended December 31, 2022, sales increased $469.3 million, or 7%, to $7,643.6 million from $7,174.3 million in 2021. Compared with the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by sales price increases of 11%, offset partially by a sales volume decrease of 4%. By product line, commodity sales decreased 7%, or $272.3 million, general line product sales increased 17%, or $377.7 million, and sales of EWP (substantially all of which is sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 28%, or $363.9 million.

Costs and Expenses

Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $172.4 million, or 3%, to $6,472.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $6,300.1 million during the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased due to higher per-unit costs of logs of approximately 6% compared with 2021, as well as increased labor and other manufacturing costs. However, materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our Wood Products segment decreased by 120 basis points, which was primarily due to higher EWP sales prices, resulting in improved leveraging of wood fiber costs. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by higher purchased materials costs as a result of higher product prices, compared with 2021. However, the BMD segment MLO rate improved 200 basis points compared to 2021 due primarily to improved margins on EWP and general line products.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $20.8 million, or 26%, to $101.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $80.8 million during the prior year. The increase was due primarily to the Acquisition and other capital expenditures.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $62.3 million, or 13%, to $553.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $491.0 million for the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher shipping and handling costs of $23.2 million, as well as higher employee-related expenses, including base pay increases, and sales and incentive compensation of $21.7 million. In addition, travel and entertainment expenses and occupancy expenses increased $5.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased $20.6 million, or 25%, to $103.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $83.2 million for the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses, including base pay increases, and incentive compensation of $14.1 million, as well as a $5.6 million increase in discretionary expenses related to professional fees and travel and entertainment. In addition, in our Wood Products segment, we purchased $1.8 million of insurance related to the Acquisition and incurred $1.3 million of acquisition-related expenses.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2022 other (income) expense, net, was $1.7 million of income, which primarily included earn-out income related to a previous asset sale in our Wood Products segment, offset partially by other expenses.

Income From Operations

Income from operations increased $186.0 million to $1,157.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $971.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Wood Products. For the year ended December 31, 2022, segment income increased $44.0 million to $575.2 million from $531.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in segment income was due primarily to higher EWP sales prices. This increase in segment income was offset partially by lower plywood sales prices, lower EWP sales volumes, and higher wood fiber costs and other manufacturing costs. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $18.1 million related to the Acquisition, we purchased $1.8 million of acquisition-related insurance, and incurred $1.3 million of acquisition-related expenses.

Building Materials Distribution. For the year ended December 31, 2022, segment income increased $146.0 million to $627.1 million from $481.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in segment income was driven by a gross margin increase of $215.5 million, primarily related to improved gross margins across our EWP and general line products compared with 2021. The improvement was offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses of $56.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

Corporate. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $3.9 million to $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $40.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses, offset partially by lower self-insurance losses during 2022.

Other

Interest Income. Interest income increased $12.1 million to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher interest rates on cash equivalents and increases in the average balances of cash equivalents.

Change in fair value of interest rate swaps. For information related to our interest rate swaps, see the discussion under "Disclosures of Financial Market Risks" and "Financial Instruments" included in this "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K.

Income Tax Provision

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $288.7 million and $236.4 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 25.2% and 24.9%, respectively. Our rate is affected by recurring items, such as state income taxes, and discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate was a $45.0 million increase in income tax expense, or an effect of 3.9%, from state income taxes.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate was a $35.7 million increase in income tax expense, or an effect of 3.8%, from state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended 2022 with $998.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $444.4 million of debt. At December 31, 2022, we had $1,394.5 million of available liquidity (cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed bank line availability). Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $249.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, as cash provided by operations was offset partially by funding the Acquisition, capital spending, and dividends paid on our common stock, as further discussed below.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2022, our cash was invested in high-quality, short-term investments, which we record in "Cash and cash equivalents." The majority of our cash and cash equivalents is comprised of money market funds that are broadly diversified and invested in high-quality, short-duration securities, including U.S. government agency securities and similar instruments. We have significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents that are in excess of federally insured limits. Though we have not experienced any losses on our cash and cash equivalents to date, and we do not anticipate incurring any losses, we cannot be assured that we will not experience losses on our short-term investments.

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, income tax payments, and to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock over the next 12 months. We expect to fund our seasonal and intra-month working capital requirements in 2023 from cash on hand and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Consistent with our historical patterns, we expect working capital increases to use cash in the first quarter of 2023.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We generate cash primarily from sales of our products, as well as short-term and long-term borrowings. 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, service our debt and lease obligations, and return cash to our shareholders through dividends or common stock repurchases. Below is a discussion of our sources and uses of cash for operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.

Operating Activities

2022 Compared With 2021

In 2022, our operating activities generated $1,041.2 million of cash, compared with $667.0 million in 2021. The $374.2 million increase in cash provided by operations in 2022 relates primarily to the following:

•A $44.0 million increase in income in our Wood Products segment and a $146.0 million increase in income in our BMD segment. See "Operating Results" above for a discussion on our results for 2022.

•A $41.0 million decrease in working capital during 2022, compared with a $109.2 million increase in working capital during 2021. Working capital is subject to cyclical operating needs, seasonal buying patterns for inventory purchased for resale and logs, the timing of the collection of receivables, and the timing of payment of payables and expenses. The decrease in working capital in 2022 was primarily attributable to lower receivables, offset partially by an increase in inventories and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in receivables in 2022 primarily reflects decreased sales of approximately 24%, comparing sales for the month of December 2022 with sales for the month of December 2021. Inventories increased in 2022 primarily due to higher production costs for our manufactured products, the acquisition of two plywood facilities, and decreased housing demand related to economic uncertainties. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2022 was related to the decrease in inventories in our BMD segment and lower accrued rebates as of December 31, 2022 as housing activity slowed at the end of 2022. The increase in working capital in 2021 was primarily attributable to higher receivables and inventories, offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in receivables in 2021 primarily reflects increased sales of approximately 20%, comparing sales for the month of December 2021 with sales for the month of December 2020. Inventories increased in 2021 primarily due to the increased cost of inventory purchased for resale and higher production costs for our manufactured products. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2021 was related to the increase in inventories and higher accrued rebates as of December 31, 2021.

Investment Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $625.5 million and $105.6 million during 2022 and 2021, respectively.

2022

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we used $515.2 million for the Acquisition. The facilities acquired in the Acquisition will provide incremental stress-rated veneer needed to optimize and expand our southeastern U.S. EWP production capacity and improve our mix of specialty plywood products. In addition, we used approximately $114.1 million of cash for purchases of property and equipment, which included business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. Quality and efficiency projects include quality improvements, modernization, energy, and cost-saving projects. Included in our 2022 capital spending is funding for our BMD organic expansions in Minnesota, Ohio, and Kentucky, which services Cincinnati and the surrounding markets. In addition, we purchased land in South Carolina and Texas for our recently announced BMD greenfield distribution centers, which will allow us to better serve customers in several high-growth markets. In our Wood Product segment, we had capital spending related to the replacement of a dryer at our Chester, South Carolina, veneer and plywood plant, and post-acquisition veneer equipment related spending at our Chapman, Alabama facility. Purchases of property and equipment also included approximately $4 million for environmental compliance in 2022, and we expect to spend approximately $4 million in environmental compliance related spending in 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received $2.5 million of earn-out income related to a previous asset sale in our Wood Products segment.

Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2023 to total approximately $120 million to $140 million. We expect our capital spending in 2023 will be for business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. 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, and the recently announced purchase of property to house an additional door shop assembly operation in Kansas City, Missouri. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of several factors, including acquisitions, efforts to further accelerate organic growth, exercise of lease purchase options, our financial results, future economic conditions, availability of engineering and construction resources, and timing and availability of equipment purchases.

2021

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we used approximately $106.5 million of cash for purchases of property and equipment, which included business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. Quality and efficiency projects include quality improvements, modernization, energy, and cost-saving projects. In 2021, purchases of property and equipment included approximately $3 million for environmental compliance.

Financing Activities

During 2022, our financing activities used $166.3 million of cash, including $159.6 million for common stock dividend payments and $3.9 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. See "Dividends on Common Stock" below for further discussion of common stock dividend payments. During 2022, we did not borrow under our revolving credit facility and therefore had no borrowings outstanding on the facility as of December 31, 2022.

On September 9, 2022, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amendment) related to our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and term loan. The Amendment increases the maximum amount available for revolving loans from $350 million to $400 million, extends the maturity date of the agreement, and replaced the LIBOR rate with SOFR. The term loan remains at $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, we have no debt maturities prior to 2027.

During 2021, our financing activities used $217.9 million of cash, including $213.7 million for common stock dividend payments and $2.7 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. During 2021, we also borrowed $28.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which was subsequently repaid during the same period with cash on hand. At December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Stock Repurchase Program

On July 28, 2022, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.5 million shares of our common stock. This increase was in addition to the remaining authorized shares under our prior common stock repurchase program that was authorized on February 25, 2015 (the Program). Share repurchases may be made on an opportunistic basis through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. We are not obligated to purchase any shares, and there is no set date that the program will expire. Our board of directors, at its discretion, may increase or decrease the number of authorized shares or terminate the Program at any time. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock that may yet be purchased under the program. During 2022, we did not purchase any shares under the Program. For more information related to our stock repurchases, see Note 13, Stockholders' Equity, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Form 10-K.

Other Material Cash Requirements

Long-term Debt and Interest

As of December 31, 2022, we had long-term debt with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal of $450.0 million, with no principal payments required within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the long-term debt total $168.3 million, with $22.1 million payable within 12 months. Long-term debt and interest amounts assume our debt is held to maturity. For more information, see Note 9, Debt, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K.

Leases

We enter into various operating and finance leases for our distribution centers, as well as other property and equipment. As of December 31, 2022, our minimum lease payments for operating leases were $74.1 million, with $13.6 million of lease payments required within 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, our minimum lease payments for finance leases were $52.2 million, with $4.1 million of lease payments required within 12 months. Some lease agreements provide us with the option to renew the lease or purchase the leased property. The lease term includes any renewal option periods we are reasonably certain of exercising. Our operating and finance lease obligations could change based on whether we actually exercise these renewal options and/or if we entered into additional lease agreements. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Polices, and Note 10, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations for Raw Materials

As of December 31, 2022, we have contracts to purchase approximately $150 million of logs, approximately $34 million of which will be purchased pursuant to fixed-price contracts and approximately $116 million of which will be purchased pursuant to variable-price contracts. The $116 million is estimated using current contractual index pricing, but actual prices depend on future market prices. We are required to purchase approximately $35 million of logs within 12 months. Under certain log agreements, we have the right to cancel or reduce our commitments in the event of a mill curtailment or shutdown. Future purchase prices under most of the variable-price agreements will be set quarterly or semiannually based on regional market prices. Our log requirements and our access to supply, as well as the cost of obtaining logs, are subject to change based on, among other things, the effect of governmental laws and regulations, our manufacturing operations not operating in the normal course of business, log availability, and the status of environmental appeals. Except for deposits required pursuant to log supply contracts, these obligations are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements until contract payment terms take effect.

Guarantees

Note 9, Debt, and Note 17, Commitments, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, and Guarantees, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this 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.

Seasonal 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 volumes in the first and fourth quarters due to the impact of poor weather on the construction market, and we generally have higher sales volumes 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 costs, at most of our manufacturing facilities.

Disclosures of Financial Market Risks

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial risks such as changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. In 2022 and 2021, we did not use derivative instruments to manage these risks, except for interest rate swaps as discussed below.

Commodity Price Risk

Many of the products we manufacture or purchase and resell and some of our key production inputs are commodities whose price is determined by the market's supply and demand for such products. Price fluctuations in our selling prices and key costs have a significant effect on our financial performance. The markets for most of these commodities are cyclical and are primarily affected by economic uncertainties, industry operating rates, transportation constraints or disruptions, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, seasonal demand patterns, and other factors beyond our control. For further discussion of commodity price risk, refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K and "Factors That Affect Our Operating Results and Trends" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in variable-rate SOFR on our term loan and when we have loan amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2022, we had $50.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding based on one-month term SOFR. Our objective is to limit the variability of interest payments on our debt. To meet this objective, we enter into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps to mitigate the variable-rate cash flow exposure with fixed-rate cash flows. In accordance with our risk management strategy, we actively monitor our interest rate exposure and use derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. We do not speculate using derivative instruments.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2022, we had one interest rate swap agreement. Under the interest rate swap, we receive one-month term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.10% variable interest rate payments and make fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the interest rate on $50.0 million of variable rate debt exposure. Payments on this interest rate swap, with a notional principal amount of $50.0 million, are due on a monthly basis at an annual fixed rate of 0.41%, and this swap expires in June 2025. We entered into this forward interest rate swap in 2020 (the 2020 Swap) and it was amended in 2022. Prior to the amendment we received one-month LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments at an annual fixed rate of 0.39% on the 2020 Swap. At December 31, 2021, we had two interest rate swap agreements. Under these interest rate swaps, we received one-month LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments. Payments on one interest rate swap, entered into in 2016, with a notional principal amount of $50.0 million were due on a monthly basis at an annual fixed rate of 1.007%, and this swap expired in February 2022 (the Initial Swap). The 2020 Swap, as mentioned above, commenced on the expiration of the Initial Swap in February 2022.

The interest rate swap agreements were not designated as cash flow hedges, and as a result, all changes in the fair value are recognized in "Change in fair value of interest rate swaps" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations rather than through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2022, we recorded a long-term asset of $4.8 million in "Other assets" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement. At December 31, 2021, we recorded a long-term asset of $1.2 million in "Other assets" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we also recorded a long-term liability of $0.1 million in "Other long-term liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements. The swaps were valued based on observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities and other observable inputs for interest rates and yield curves (Level 2 inputs).

Foreign Currency Risk

We have sales in countries outside the U.S. As a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in Canada, but we do not believe our exposure to currency fluctuations is significant.

Financial Instruments

The table below provides information as of December 31, 2022, about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For obligations with variable interest rate sensitivity, the table sets forth payout amounts based on December 31, 2022 rates and does not attempt to project future rates.

Environmental

We are subject to a wide range of general and industry-specific environmental laws and regulations. In particular, we are affected by laws and regulations covering air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste management, and site remediation. Compliance with these laws and regulations is a significant factor in the operation of our businesses. We believe that we have created a corporate culture of strong compliance by taking a conservative approach to environmental issues in order to ensure that we are operating within the bounds of regulatory requirements. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be in compliance with environmental requirements at all times, and we cannot guarantee that we will not incur fines and penalties in the future. In 2022, we paid an insignificant amount in environmental fines and penalties.

We incur capital and operating expenditures to comply with federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal fines or penalties or in enforcement actions. Our failure to comply could also result in governmental or judicial orders that stop or interrupt our operations or require us to take corrective measures, install additional pollution control equipment, or take other remedial actions. During 2022 and 2021, we spent approximately $4 million and $3 million, respectively, on capital expenditures to comply with environmental requirements. We expect to spend approximately $4 million in 2023 for this purpose.

In connection with prior transactions, certain third parties are generally obligated to indemnify us for hazardous substance releases and other environmental violations that occurred prior to such transactions. However, these third parties may not have sufficient funds to fully satisfy their indemnification obligations when required, and in some cases, we may not be contractually entitled to indemnification by them.

Climate Change

We source logs from responsibly managed working forests. Our log procurement practices are internally and third-party audited to meet the requirements of forest certification standards. When logs arrive at our facilities, they are processed into products that store carbon such as plywood, lumber and EWP. Bark and manufacturing residuals are used as biomass fuel, which allows us to generate the majority of the energy needed to manufacture our products. All manufacturing energy not derived from biomass is sourced from natural gas. None of our manufacturing facilities use coal or fuel oil as primary energy sources to manufacture products.

Table of Contents

The use of our products is an energy efficient building choice, and when used in place of fossil fuel-intensive materials avoids greenhouse gases (GHG) that would have been emitted during manufacturing. We are assessing opportunities related to increased interest or demand for wood-based building materials due to their role in climate mitigation.

In recent years, various legislative and regulatory proposals to restrict GHG emissions, such as carbon dioxide, have been under consideration in state legislative bodies and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These proposals have included regulations to reduce GHG emissions from new and existing electric utilities, which may result in increased electricity and natural gas costs to our businesses. This impact may be partially mitigated, as the majority of the energy used to manufacture our products is generated from biomass fuel, which reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. There are currently no specific regulations that require our wood products plants to reduce GHG emissions, and the current EPA administration has not announced plans to develop such federal regulations.

States are taking various positions on climate change regulation. Oregon and Washington have enacted regulations intended to reduce GHG emissions. These regulations have not directly affected our facilities; however, they are expected to impact our operations by increasing future costs related to natural gas, transportation fuel, and/or electricity. Our manufacturing operations in these states derive a significant amount of their energy from biomass fuel, a carbon neutral emission, which may not be directly regulated. However, changes in biomass fuel regulations may increase our costs for fuel and electricity. We are not aware of any plans to regulate GHG emissions by other states in which we have manufacturing operations. There are ongoing efforts by various organizations to encourage and/or require companies to calculate, report, and reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore, our customers may impose carbon footprint standards on their vendors, which may require us to incur additional costs associated with the evaluation and reduction of GHGs. Given the high degree of uncertainty about the ultimate parameters of any GHG regulatory initiatives, it is premature to make any prediction concerning such impacts.

Other Regulatory Initiatives

From time to time, legislative bodies and environmental regulatory agencies may promulgate new or revised regulatory programs imposing significant incremental operating costs or capital costs on us.

In January 2023, the EPA signed a proposal to lower the primary annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM-2.5). Lowering the PM-2.5 NAAQS would result in more areas within the U.S. that would exceed the NAAQS. These areas would be classified as non-attainment areas. It is possible that some of our manufacturing facilities would be located in areas that will be reclassified as non-attainment areas. Non-attainment areas must develop regulations designed to bring the areas into attainment. Our manufacturing facilities located in non-attainment areas would be subject to more stringent emission limits and permitting requirements, which could require additional costs to implement improvements to ensure compliance. Further, it could become more difficult to permit mill expansions, which may restrict our future growth. Until the EPA finalizes the new rules, we are unable to predict the specific impact to our facilities.

In 2016, our facilities began complying with the Boiler Maximum Achievable Control Technology (Boiler MACT) regulations, which regulate emissions of hazardous air pollutants from industrial boilers and process heaters. Following litigation of the standards, in September 2022, the EPA adopted more stringent Boiler MACT emission standards for several types of boilers, including boilers common to our facilities. Boilers must be in compliance with the revised standards by September 2025. At this time, we believe the majority of our boilers will be able to comply with the new standards. However, we are still undergoing testing at our recently acquired facilities. We do not anticipate significant capital expenditures to comply with the revised standards.

Some of our wood products facilities are subject to the Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) MACT standards for hazardous air pollutants, and they have complied with these standards since 2007 or 2008. The EPA published its Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for PCWP MACT standards, which concluded additional controls were not required for PCWP sources. However, the RTR Rule did not address certain remanded sources, including plywood presses, lumber kilns, and various other emission sources at wood products manufacturing mills. Furthermore, soon after publication of the RTR Rule, an environmental organization filed a petition for reconsideration which the EPA has granted. The EPA has a court-ordered deadline to complete the revised rule by November 2023. It is expected that manufacturing facilities subject to PCWP MACT standards will have three years after publication of the revised rule for compliance. At this time we are unable to predict the impact of the revised final rules to our business.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) Cleaner Air Oregon (CAO) rules regulate toxic air emissions from manufacturing facilities located in Oregon. The rules are risk-based, and the ODEQ released their prioritization list establishing which facilities within the state likely pose the greatest risk to their communities based on emissions inventories that facilities submitted to the ODEQ. The ODEQ established four risk groups. None of our mills were identified in

Table of Contents

the first tier risk group. Our Medford plywood mill was identified in the second tier group. To date the ODEQ has not completed the program for the first tier risk group. We currently anticipate Medford Plywood will be selected into the program in 2023. Our other Oregon mills were identified in the third and fourth tier groups and will likely not be selected for several more years. When selected into the program, the facilities may incur expenses to evaluate the risk to the public and may be required to incur additional operating or capital expenditures to mitigate any significant risk.

The EPA's Regional Haze Rule sets standards for visual air clarity in "Federal Class I" areas such as national parks and wilderness areas. In 2020, the ODEQ required our Medford and Elgin plywood mills to submit a cost/benefit analysis of emission controls that would reduce pollution at the mills associated with regional haze. In January 2021, both facilities received a preliminary determination from the ODEQ that additional controls would “likely” be required for the facilities’ boilers. Our Medford plywood mill negotiated permit emission reductions sufficient to reduce their potential regional haze impact to below the ODEQ threshold, and therefore, will not be required to install additional controls or take other actions. The emission reductions are not expected to impact the facility's ability to meet production goals. Our Elgin plywood mill is required to conduct a study to determine what levels of emission reduction can be achieved by installation of improved boiler controls, begin installation of boiler combustion improvements in July 2023, monitor emissions and propose new emission limits by December 2025, and then be fully compliant with those new emission limits by August 2026.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the accounting estimates discussed below represent the accounting estimates requiring the exercise of judgment where a different set of judgments could result in the greatest changes to reported results. We reviewed the development, selection, and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. Our current critical accounting estimates are as follows:

EWP Rebates and Allowances

We provide EWP rebates at various stages of the supply chain (including distributors, dealers, and homebuilders) as a means to increase sales. EWP rebates are based on the volume of purchases (measured in dollars or units), among other factors such as customer loyalty, conversion, and commitment incentives, as well as temporary protection from price increases. EWP rebate estimates are based on the expected amount to be paid and are recorded as a decrease in "Sales" as revenue is recognized. The estimate of EWP rebates is inherently difficult due to the time lag of information and it is challenging to estimate sales subject to rebate as the products transition beyond our wholesale customers and through the supply chain to homebuilders. In addition, some EWP rebate accruals are estimated based on achievement of tiered sales levels, which require management to forecast sales throughout the supply chain, using incentive terms that vary at each level. Information that we consider when estimating sales activity at dealers and homebuilders includes historical sales information, sales projections, publicly available information of housing starts by homebuilder, residential development audits, and economic forecasts of new residential construction, among other economic data. We update these forecasts on a regular basis. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of the time when the probability of EWP rebates paid changes or the time when the amounts of rebates become fixed. Because of the complexity of some of these rebates, the ultimate resolution may result in payments that are materially different from our current estimate of EWP rebates payable. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $72.2 million and $117.5 million, respectively, of EWP rebates payable recorded in "Accrued liabilities, Other" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Combinations

From time to time, we may enter into material business combinations. We allocate the total purchase price of a business combination to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The acquisition method of accounting requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair values of the elements of a business combination as of the date of acquisition, including the fair values (fair value is determined using the income approach, cost approach and/or market approach) of inventory, property, plant and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets, among others. This method also requires us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to retroactively adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could have a material impact on our financial

Table of Contents

condition and results of operations. Additionally, we expense any acquisition-related costs as incurred in connection with each business combination.

Significant estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair value of assets acquired, including property, plant, and equipment, customer relationships, and other identifiable intangible assets, includes future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets, and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation and amortization expenses could be increased or decreased.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable (triggering event). No triggering event was identified during the year ended December 31, 2022. An impairment of a long-lived asset exists when the carrying value is not recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows from operations and when the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its fair value.

To the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, we would be required to estimate the fair value of the asset or asset group, and long-lived asset impairment would become a critical accounting estimate. To measure future cash flows, we are required to make assumptions about future sales volumes, future product pricing, and future expenses to be incurred. Estimates of future cash flows may change based on overall economic conditions, the cost and availability of wood fiber, environmental requirements, capital spending, and other strategic management decisions. We estimate the fair value of an asset or asset group based on quoted market prices for similar assets (the amount for which the asset(s) could be bought or sold in a current transaction with a third party) when available (Level 2 measurement) or the expected proceeds from the sale of the assets (Level 3 measurement). When quoted market prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value (Level 3 measurement).

Future events or circumstances such as sustained negative economic impacts, declines in single-family housing starts, environmental regulations or restrictions, sustained periods of weak commodity prices, loss of key customers, capacity additions by competitors, changes in the competitive position of our products, or changes in raw materials or manufacturing costs that lead us to believe the long-lived asset will no longer provide a sufficient return on investment, could prompt decisions to invest capital differently than expected, sell facilities, or curtail operations. Any of these factors, among others, could result in non-cash impairment or accelerated depreciation charges in the future with respect to long-lived assets, which could have a material impact on our results of operations in the period in which an impairment is recognized. Due to the numerous variables associated with our judgments and assumptions relating to the valuation of assets and the effects of changes on these valuations, the timing, precision, and reliability of our estimates are subject to uncertainty. As additional information becomes known, we may change our estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by GAAP. In this annual report on Form 10-K, we disclose income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization as EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We also disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and loss on extinguishment of debt. We also disclose Segment EBITDA, which is segment income before depreciation and amortization.

Table of Contents

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, income 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 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Boise Cascade Company is a building products company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Our operations began on October 29, 2004 (inception), when we acquired the forest products assets of OfficeMax, Incorporated. As used in these consolidated financial statements, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are one of the largest producers of engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood in North America and a leading United States wholesale distributor of building products.

We operate our business using two reportable segments: (1) Wood Products, which primarily manufactures EWP and plywood, and (2) Building Materials Distribution (BMD), which is a wholesale distributor of building materials. For more information, see Note 16, Segment Information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boise Cascade and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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, medical, and workers' compensation benefits; assumptions used in the determination of right-of-use (ROU) assets and related lease liabilities; stock-based compensation; fair value measurements; income taxes; and vendor and customer rebates, among 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For additional information regarding our revenue recognition policies, see Note 3, Revenues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments that have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were comprised of money market funds that are broadly diversified and invested in high-quality, short-duration securities, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. government agency securities, and similar instruments. We have significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents that are in excess of federally insured limits. Though we have not experienced any losses on our cash and cash equivalents to date and we do not anticipate incurring any losses, we cannot be assured that we will not experience losses on our cash and cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

Trade Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest. We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of our accounts receivable and maintain a reserve for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to meet their financial obligations to us. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $3.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, recorded as allowances for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the reserve and in order to manage credit risk, we consider our historical level of credit losses, customer concentrations, and current economic trends and monitor the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. Our sales are principally to customers in the building products industry located in the U.S. and Canada. A significant portion of our sales are concentrated with a relatively small number of customers. In 2022, our top ten customers represented approximately 46% of sales, with one customer accounting for approximately 12% of total sales. At December 31, 2022, receivables from two customers accounted for approximately 17% and 14% of total receivables. At December 31, 2021, receivables from these two customers accounted for approximately 20% and 12% of total receivables. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total receivables. Adjustments to allowances are charged to income. Trade accounts receivable balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Although we have not experienced material credit losses in recent years, our actual future losses from uncollectable accounts may differ materially from our current estimates. As additional information becomes known, we may change our estimates. In the event we determine that a change in the reserve is appropriate, we will record a charge to "Selling and distribution expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period we make such a determination.

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 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, long-term debt, and interest rate swaps. Our cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, and our cash equivalents are money market funds. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we held $954.4 million and $701.6 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the book value of our fixed-rate debt for each period was $400.0 million, and the fair value was estimated to be $348.5 million and $420.0 million, respectively. 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 of our fixed-rate debt using quoted market prices of our debt in inactive markets (Level 2 inputs). The interest rate on our variable-rate debt is based on market conditions such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate. Because the interest rate on the variable-rate debt is based on current market conditions, we believe that the estimated fair value of the outstanding balance on our variable-rate debt approximates book value.

We are exposed to financial risks such as changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. We employ a variety of practices to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where deemed appropriate, the use of derivative instruments. As discussed in Note 15, Financial Instrument Risk, we use interest rate swaps to mitigate our variable interest rate exposure, the fair value of which is measured based on Level 2 inputs.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

We receive rebates and allowances from our vendors under a number of different programs, including vendor marketing programs. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $17.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of vendor rebates and allowances recorded in "Receivables, Other" on the 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

Table of Contents

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.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for our operations outside the United States is the U.S. dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities and related depreciation and amortization for these foreign operations are remeasured into U.S. dollars using historical exchange rates. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date. Revenue and expense items are remeasured into U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate prevailing during the year.

Leases

We primarily lease land, building, and equipment under operating and finance leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assess lease classification as either operating or finance at lease inception or upon modification. Substantially all of our leases with initial terms greater than one year are for real estate, including distribution centers, corporate headquarters, land, and other office space. Substantially all of these lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time and are recorded in our BMD segment. Many of our leases include fixed escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease term and lease payments when appropriate. Renewal options generally range from one to ten years with fixed payment terms similar to those in the original lease agreements. Some lease agreements provide us with the option to purchase the leased property at market value. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The current portion of our operating and finance lease liabilities are recorded in "Accrued liabilities, Other" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. In determining our incremental borrowing rates, we give consideration to publicly available interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including credit rating, term, and collateralization.

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 certain of exercising. Variable lease expense generally includes reimbursement of actual costs for common area maintenance, property taxes, and insurance on leased real estate and are recorded as incurred. Most of our operating lease expense is recorded in "Selling and distribution expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we do not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

Our short-term leases primarily include equipment rentals with lease terms on a month-to-month basis, which provide for our seasonal needs and flexibility in the use of equipment. Our short-term leases also include certain real estate for which either party has the right to cancel upon providing notice of 30 to 90 days. We do not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, as measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the periods where temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be unable to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would increase the provision for income taxes.

Table of Contents

We review and update our tax positions as necessary to add any new uncertain tax positions taken, or to remove previously identified uncertain positions that have been adequately resolved. Additionally, uncertain positions may be remeasured as warranted by changes in facts or law. Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires estimating the amount, timing and likelihood of ultimate settlement. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation or average cost. Wholesale distribution inventories include costs incurred in bringing inventory to its existing location. Manufactured inventories include costs for materials, labor, and factory overhead. Log inventories include costs to harvest and deliver the logs.

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


	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(thousands)
Finished goods and work in process	$	596,328	$	573,908
Logs	54,921		47,401
Other raw materials and supplies	46,302		39,362
	$	697,551	$	660,671

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost includes expenditures for major improvements and replacements and the amount of interest cost associated with significant capital additions. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, an insignificant amount of interest was capitalized. We expense all repair and maintenance costs as incurred. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset's carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income (loss). We use the straight-line method of depreciation.

Property and equipment consisted of the following asset classes with the following general range of estimated useful lives:


	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		General Range of Estimated Useful Lives in Years
	(thousands)
Land	$	60,211	$	51,564
Buildings	231,087		178,323		20	-	40

Less accumulated depreciation	(833,010)		(764,164)
	$	770,023	$	495,240

As of December 31, 2022, property and equipment includes two plywood facilities acquired by us on July 25, 2022. For more information, see Note 7, Acquisition.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable (triggering event). An impairment of long-lived assets exists when the carrying value is not recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows from operations and when the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. No triggering event was identified during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairment

We maintain two reporting units for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing, Wood Products and BMD, which are the same as our operating segments discussed in Note 16, Segment Information. We test goodwill in each of our reporting units and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may exceed fair value. We also evaluate the remaining useful lives of our finite-lived purchased intangible assets to determine whether any adjustments to the useful lives are necessary.

We completed our annual assessment of goodwill in fourth quarter 2022 using a qualitative approach. The qualitative goodwill impairment assessment requires evaluating factors, based on the weight of evidence, to determine whether a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value. As part of our goodwill qualitative testing process for each reporting unit, we evaluate various factors that are specific to the reporting unit as well as industry and macroeconomic factors in order to determine whether they are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the fair value of our reporting units. Based on the qualitative analysis performed in 2022, we concluded that there were no changes that were reasonably likely to cause the fair value of the reporting units to be less than the reporting units' carrying value and determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill. In the event we were to determine that a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value, quantitative testing would be performed comparing carrying values to estimated fair values. See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We recognize our asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred if sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate the fair value of the obligation. Fair value estimates are determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our asset retirement obligations are measured using expected future cash outflows discounted using the company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. When we record the liability, we capitalize the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its settlement value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss for any difference between the settlement amount and the liability recorded.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $5.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of asset retirement obligations recorded in "Other long-term liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These liabilities related primarily to landfill closure costs. The liabilities are based on the best estimate of current costs and are updated periodically to reflect current technology, laws and regulations, inflation, and other economic factors. We do not have any assets legally restricted for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations.

We have additional asset retirement obligations with indeterminate settlement dates. The fair value of these asset retirement obligations cannot be estimated due to the lack of sufficient information to estimate the settlement dates of the obligations. These asset retirement obligations include, for example, (i) removal and disposal of potentially hazardous materials on equipment and/or an operating facility if the equipment and/or facility were to undergo major maintenance, renovation, or demolition; (ii) retention ponds that may be required to be drained and/or cleaned if the related operating facility is closed; and (iii) storage sites or owned facilities for which removal and/or disposal of chemicals and other related materials are required if the operating facility is closed. We will recognize a liability in the period in which sufficient information becomes available to reasonably estimate the fair value of these obligations.

Deferred Software Costs

We defer internal-use software costs that benefit future years. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected life of the software, typically three to five years. "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $5.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of deferred software costs at December 31, 2022 and 2021. We amortized $2.2 million, $1.7 million, and $1.9 million of deferred software costs for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

Labor Concentration and Unions

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 6,840 employees. Approximately 20% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. As of December 31, 2022, we had ten collective bargaining agreements. One agreement covering approximately 90 employees at our Canadian EWP facility expired on December 31, 2022, but the terms and conditions of this agreement remain in effect pending negotiation of a new agreement. We may not be able to renew this agreement or may renew it on terms that are less favorable to us than the current agreement. If any of these agreements are not renewed or extended upon their termination, we could experience a material labor disruption, strike, or significantly increased labor costs at one or more of our facilities, either in the course of negotiations of a labor agreement or otherwise. Labor disruptions or shortages could prevent us from meeting customer demands or result in increased costs, thereby reducing our sales and profitability.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for certain losses related to workers' compensation and medical claims, general and auto liability, as well as property and business interruption losses. The expected ultimate costs for claims incurred are recognized as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are estimated based principally on an analysis of historical claims data and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. Losses are accrued and charged to operations when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover these liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. Costs related to the administration of the plans and related claims are expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, self-insurance related liabilities of $13.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, were classified within "Accrued liabilities," and $9.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively, were classified within "Other long-term liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. This ASU requires an acquirer to account for revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted this standard in first quarter 2023, and it did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

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. Revenues

Wood Products Segment

Our Wood Products segment manufactures EWP, consisting of laminated veneer lumber (LVL), I-joists, and laminated beams, which are structural products used in applications where extra strength and consistent quality are required, such as headers and beams. LVL is also used in the manufacture of I-joists, which are assembled by combining a vertical web of OSB with top and bottom LVL or solid wood flanges. In addition, we manufacture structural, appearance, and industrial plywood panels, and ponderosa pine lumber. Our wood products are used primarily in new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling markets, and light commercial construction. The majority of our wood products are sold to leading wholesalers (including our BMD segment), home improvement centers, dealers, and industrial converters.

For EWP, plywood and veneer, byproducts, and other products, we transfer control and recognize a sale when we ship the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer. Control transfers when product is shipped because the customer has legal title, a present obligation to pay, and risk and rewards of ownership. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in rebates and cash discounts we offer to our customers. See "Rebates and Cash Discounts" below.

Table of Contents

Building Materials Distribution Segment

Our BMD segment is a leading national stocking wholesale distributor of building materials. We distribute a broad line of building materials, including OSB, plywood, and lumber (collectively referred to as commodities); general line items such as siding, composite decking, doors, metal products, insulation, and roofing; and EWP. Except for EWP, we purchase most of these building materials from third-party suppliers and market them primarily to dealers, home improvement centers, and specialty distributors that then sell the products to the end customers, who are typically homebuilders, independent contractors, and homeowners engaged in residential construction projects. Substantially all of BMD's EWP is sourced from our Wood Products segment.

We sell products using two primary distribution methods: warehouse sales and direct sales. Warehouse sales are distributed from our warehouses to our customers. Direct sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without us taking physical possession of inventory. We report direct sales on a gross basis, that is, the amounts billed to our customers are recorded as "Sales," and inventory purchased from manufacturers are recorded as "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)." We are the principal of direct sales because we control the inventory, as we have the ability to direct its use before it is transferred to our customers.

For warehouse sales, we transfer control and recognize a sale when the customer takes physical possession of the product. Control transfers when the customer takes physical possession of the product because the customer has legal title, a present obligation to pay, and risk and rewards of ownership. For direct sales, we transfer control and recognize a sale when the product is shipped from the manufacturer to the customer. Control transfers when product is shipped because the customer has legal title, a present obligation to pay, and risk and rewards of ownership. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer rebates and cash discounts we offer to our customers. See "Rebates and Cash Discounts" below.

Rebates and Cash Discounts

Rebates are provided to our customers and our customers' customers based on the volume of their purchases, among other factors such as customer loyalty, conversion, and commitment, as well as temporary protection from price increases. We provide the rebates to increase the sell-through of our products. Rebates are generally estimated based on the expected amount to be paid and recorded as a decrease in "Sales." At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $92.9 million and $138.1 million, respectively, of rebates payable to our customers recorded in "Accrued liabilities, Other" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also estimate expected cash discounts on trade accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical experience and record cash discounts as a decrease in "Sales." We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the probability of rebates paid and cash discounts provided changes or when the amounts become fixed. There have not been significant changes to our estimates of rebates, although it is reasonably possible that a change in the estimate may occur.

Shipping and Handling

Fees for shipping and handling charged to customers for sales transactions are included in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. When control over products has transferred to the customer, we have elected to recognize costs related to shipping and handling as fulfillment costs. For our Wood Products segment, costs related to shipping and handling are included in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In our Wood Products segment, we view our shipping and handling costs as a cost of the manufacturing process and the movement of product to our end customers. For our BMD segment, costs related to shipping and handling of $226.1 million, $195.7 million, and $177.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, are included in "Selling and distribution expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In our BMD segment, our activities relate to the purchase and resale of finished products, and excluding shipping and handling costs from "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" provides us a clearer view of our operating performance and the effectiveness of our sales and purchasing functions.

Other

Our payment terms vary by the type of customer and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Table of Contents

We expense sales commissions when incurred as they are earned. These costs are recorded within "Selling and distribution expenses."

For revenue disaggregated by major product line for each reportable segment, see Note 16, Segment Information.

______________________________________

(a) In December 2020, we eliminated our qualified defined benefit pension plan (Plan Termination), as discussed in Note 11, Retirement and Benefit Plans. Prior to the Plan Termination, "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet included the stranded tax effects of our conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation in 2013 and the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. Upon Plan Termination, these stranded tax effects of $38.8 million were required to be released into income tax expense under GAAP.

Table of Contents

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, was $260.0 million, $260.1 million, and $75.1 million, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. The components of our net deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021, are summarized as follows:


	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(thousands)
Deferred tax assets
Employee benefits	$	31,688	$	28,534


Lease liabilities	22,739		24,956

Deferred tax liabilities	$	(131,587)	$	(63,497)

Total deferred tax assets (liabilities), net	$	(57,338)	$	2,948

As of December 31, 2022, we have foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $6.6 million, which if unused, will expire in years 2033 through 2042. We have state income tax credits totaling $1.3 million as of December 31, 2022, which if unused, will expire in years 2023 through 2033. The foreign net operating loss and state credit carryforwards in the income tax returns filed included unrecognized tax benefits. The deferred tax assets recognized for those net operating losses and state credit carryforwards are presented net of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Income Tax Uncertainties

The following table summarizes the changes related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties:


	2022		2021		2020

Decreases related to prior years' tax positions	(14)		(19)		—
Lapse of statute of limitations	(47)		(7)		(91)


Balance as of December 31	$	1,734	$	1,782	$	1,780

As of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we had $1.7 million, $1.8 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding interest and penalties. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits recorded, $1.7 million, $1.8 million, and $1.8 million (net of the federal benefit for state taxes), respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recognized an insignificant amount of interest and penalties related to taxes. We recognize tax liabilities and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a

Table of Contents

result of the evaluation of new information not previously available or as new uncertainties occur. We do not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years 2019 to present remain open to examination in the U.S. and tax years 2018 to present remain open to examination in Canada and various states. We recorded net operating losses in Canada beginning in 2006 that are subject to examinations and adjustments up to four years following the year in which they are utilized.

5. 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 certain vested restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) as there are no conditions under which those shares will not be issued. For more information about common share activity during the period, see Note 13, Stockholders' Equity. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares. Other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares include the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share and the amount of compensation expense, if any, for future service that has not yet been recognized 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:


	Year Ended December 31
	2022		2021		2020
	(thousands, except per-share data)
Net income	$	857,658	$	712,486	$	174,979
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period (for basic calculation)	39,526		39,420		39,277
Dilutive effect of other potential common shares	246		226		154
Weighted average common shares and potential common shares (for diluted calculation)	39,772		39,646		39,431

Net income per common share - Basic	$	21.70	$	18.07	$	4.45
Net income per common share - Diluted	$	21.56	$	17.97	$	4.44

The computation of the dilutive effect of other potential common shares excludes stock awards representing 0.1 million shares of common stock in the year ended December 31, 2022, and no shares of common stock in both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these stock awards would have been antidilutive.

6. Curtailment of Manufacturing Facility

On February 20, 2020, we decided to permanently curtail I-joist production at our Roxboro, North Carolina facility by March 31, 2020. As a result of the curtailment, we recorded $15.0 million of accelerated depreciation during first quarter 2020 to fully depreciate the curtailed I-joist assets. In addition, we recorded $1.7 million of various closure-related costs in "Loss on curtailment of facility" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents

7. Acquisition

We account for acquisition transactions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquiree are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess recorded as goodwill. Transaction-related costs are expensed in the period the costs are incurred. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

On July 25, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in Coastal Plywood Company (Coastal Plywood), and its plywood manufacturing operations located in Havana, Florida, and Chapman, Alabama for a purchase price of $515.2 million, including a post-closing adjustment of $1.6 million based upon a working capital target (the Acquisition). We funded the Acquisition and related costs with cash on hand. Acquisition-related costs of $1.3 million are recorded in "General and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The facilities acquired in the Acquisition will provide incremental stress-rated veneer needed to optimize and expand our southeastern U.S. EWP production capacity. In addition, the Havana plywood operation will improve our mix of specialty plywood products and is well positioned geographically to support plywood demand in the southeastern U.S. Sales, including sales to our BMD segment, of $82.1 million from these facilities was reported as part of the Wood Products segment for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Wood Products segment reported operating income of $0.4 million from these facilities for the year ended December 31, 2022, which included $9.4 million of expense related to the sell-through of inventory recorded at fair market value in connection with the Acquisition.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of businesses acquired. The primary qualitative factor that contributed to the recognition of goodwill relates to the incremental stress-rated veneer and assembled workforce the facilities provide to allow us to expand our EWP capacity and improve our mix of plywood offerings to serve future and existing customers. The facilities are geographically located in an area that allows us to optimize our mill system and realize freight and other cost synergies. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Wood Products reporting unit and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

The Acquisition purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to post-closing adjustments. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as more information becomes available. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of fixed assets, identifiable intangible assets, and residual goodwill. The following table summarizes the allocations of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on our current estimates of the fair value at the date of the Acquisition:


	Acquisition Date Fair Value
	(thousands)
Accounts receivable	$	16,123
Inventories	22,977
Property and equipment	251,329
Other assets	1,809

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, intangible assets represented the values assigned to trade names and trademarks and customer relationships. We maintain trademarks for our manufactured wood products, particularly EWP. Our key registered trademarks are perpetual in duration as long as we continue to timely file all post registration maintenance documents related thereto. These trade names and trademarks have indefinite lives, are not amortized, and have a carrying amount of $8.9 million. In addition, in 2022, we acquired a trade name and customer relationships as discussed in Note 7, Acquisition. This acquired trade name has a useful life of one year. The weighted-average useful life for customer relationships from the date of purchase is approximately 10 years. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $8.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $16.3 million per year for the next five years.

Asset-Based Credit Facility

On May 15, 2015, Boise Cascade and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp., as guarantor, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, (the Amended Agreement) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as administrative agent, and the banks named therein as lenders. On September 9, 2022, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended Agreement (the Amendment) to increase the maximum amount available for revolving loans from $350 million to $400 million (the Revolving Credit Facility) and to extend the maturity date of the Amended Agreement to the earlier of (a) September 9, 2027 and (b) 90 days prior to the maturity of our $400 million of 4.875% senior notes due July 1, 2030 (or the maturity date of any permitted refinancing indebtedness or permitted upsized refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof). The term loan within the Amended Agreement remains at $50.0 million (ABL Term Loan). The Amendment also replaced the LIBOR rate with SOFR. In addition, the Amendment reduced the unused commitment fee and modified certain financial covenants. Interest on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and ABL Term Loan are payable monthly. Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are constrained by a borrowing base formula dependent upon levels of eligible receivables and inventory reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (Availability).

The Amended Agreement 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.

The Amended Agreement contains customary nonfinancial covenants, including a negative pledge covenant and restrictions on new indebtedness, investments, distributions to equity holders, asset sales, and affiliate transactions, the scope of which are dependent on the Availability existing from time to time. The Amended Agreement also contains a requirement that we meet a 1:1 fixed-charge coverage ratio (FCCR), applicable only if Availability falls below the greater of (a) 10% of the Line Cap (as defined in the Amended Agreement) and (b) $35 million. Availability exceeded the minimum threshold amounts required for testing of the FCCR at all times since entering into the Amended Agreement, and Availability at December 31, 2022, was $396.2 million.

The Amended Agreement permits us to pay dividends only if at the time of payment (a) no default has occurred or is continuing (or would result from such payment) under the Amended Agreement, and (b) either (i) pro forma Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Agreement) is equal to or exceeds the greater of (x) 20% of the Line Cap and (y) $75 million or (ii) (x) pro forma Excess Availability is equal to or exceeds the greater of (1) 15% of the Line Cap and (2) $55 million and (y) our fixed-charge coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1:1 on a pro forma basis.

Revolving Credit Facility

Interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility are based, at our election, on either Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, or a base rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus a spread over the index elected that ranges from 1.25% to 1.50% for loans based on SOFR and from 0.25% to 0.50% 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. Both SOFR options include an additional credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Letters of credit are subject to a fronting fee payable to the issuing bank and a fee payable to the lenders equal to the Term SOFR margin rate. In addition, we are required to pay an unused commitment fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the lending commitments.

At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding. These letters of credit and borrowings, if any, reduce Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility by an equivalent amount.

ABL Term Loan

The ABL Term Loan was provided by institutions within the Farm Credit system. Borrowings under the ABL Term Loan may be repaid from time to time at the discretion of the borrowers without premium or penalty. However, any principal amount of ABL Term Loan repaid may not be subsequently re-borrowed.

Interest rates under the ABL Term Loan are based, at our election, on either Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, or a base rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus a spread over the index elected that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% for SOFR rate loans and from 0.75% to 1.00% for base rate loans, both dependent on the amount of Average Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Agreement). Both SOFR options include an additional credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the average interest rate on the ABL Term Loan was approximately 3.48%.

We have received and expect to continue receiving patronage credits under the ABL Term Loan. Patronage credits are distributions of profits from banks in the Farm Credit system, which are cooperatives that are required to distribute profits to their members. Patronage distributions, which are generally made in cash, are received in the year after they are earned. Patronage credits are recorded as a reduction to interest expense in the year earned. After giving effect to expected patronage distributions, the effective average net interest rate on the ABL Term Loan was approximately 2.5% during the year ended December 31, 2022.

2030 Notes

On July 27, 2020, we issued $400 million of 4.875% senior notes due July 1, 2030 (2030 Notes) through a private placement that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Interest on our 2030 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2030 Notes are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Amended Agreement.

The 2030 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of Boise Cascade Company and of the guarantors, senior to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness, effectively subordinated to all of their present and future senior secured indebtedness (including all borrowings with respect to our Amended Agreement to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness), and structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of any subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2030 Notes.

The terms of the indenture governing the 2030 Notes, among other things, limit the ability of Boise Cascade and our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; declare or pay dividends; redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; make investments; create liens on assets; consolidate, merge or transfer substantially all of their assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and sell or transfer certain assets. The indenture governing the 2030 Notes permits us to pay dividends only if at the time of payment (i) no default has occurred or is continuing (or would result from such payment) under the indenture, and (ii) our consolidated leverage ratio is no greater than 3.5:1, or (iii) the dividend, together with other dividends since the issue date, would not exceed our "builder" basket under the indenture. In addition, the indenture includes certain specific baskets for the payment of dividends.

The indenture governing the 2030 Notes provides for customary events of default and remedies.

11. Retirement and Benefit Plans

Our retirement plans consist of noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, contributory defined contribution savings plans, and deferred compensation plans. Prior to 2021, our retirement plans also included a multiemployer health and welfare plan.

Defined Benefit Plans

Some of our current or former employees are covered by noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. This includes nonqualified salaried pension plans, which were frozen so that no future benefits have accrued since December 31, 2009. We also had a qualified defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) that was eliminated in December 2020 (Plan Termination).

Nonqualified Salaried Pension Plans

We recognize and record the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans in "Accrued liabilities, Compensation and benefits" and "Other, Compensation and benefits" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total accumulated benefit obligation for all unfunded nonqualified defined benefit pension plans was $3.0 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we recognize changes in funded status in the year the changes occur through other comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to our nonqualified defined benefit pension plans. Furthermore, the components of net periodic benefit cost and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to our nonqualified defined pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

Table of Contents

Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan

In conjunction with the Plan Termination, we purchased a buy-in group annuity contract (Buy-In) from The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), which was funded with plan assets on August 6, 2020. In addition, we froze accrual of all remaining benefits of hourly employees on our Pension Plan effective August 31, 2020. In anticipation of the Plan Termination, the Buy-In funded lump-sum payments were made to eligible plan participants at their election, on or about December 2, 2020, after which, neither the Pension Plan nor Prudential had any further obligations to those participants.

After completion of the lump-sum program, we exercised our option to convert the Buy-In to a buy-out group annuity contract (Buy-Out) for no additional premium. When the Buy-Out became effective on December 31, 2020, we irrevocably transferred to Prudential the future benefit obligations and annuity administration for all remaining plan participants (or their beneficiaries) in the Pension Plan. These transactions fully eliminated the liabilities of our Pension Plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $8.1 million in net periodic benefit cost, which was primarily due to a $6.2 million non-cash settlement charge resulting from the Plan Termination described above. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $13.9 million in other comprehensive income, primarily related to a net actuarial gain and the effect of the settlement described above.

Cash Flows

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we paid $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in cash to the nonqualified pension plan participants. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we made cash contributions to both our qualified and nonqualified pension plans totaling $12.8 million. During 2020, cash contributions included $11.4 million for the repurchase of two of the real property locations we previously had contributed to our Pension Plan and $0.6 million of lease payments. Since Plan Termination, we have had no federally required contributions to the Pension Plan. All nonqualified pension benefit payments are paid by the Company, and all future cash payments are immaterial.

Defined Contribution Plans

We sponsor contributory defined contribution savings plans for most of our salaried and hourly employees, and we generally provide company contributions to the savings plans. Since March 1, 2010, we have contributed 4% of each salaried participant's eligible compensation to the plan as a nondiscretionary company contribution. In addition, beginning in 2012, for the years that a performance target is met, we contribute an additional amount of the employee's eligible compensation, depending on company performance and the employee's years of service. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, company performance resulted in additional contributions in the range of 2% to 4% of eligible compensation. The company contributions for union and nonunion hourly employees vary by location. Company contributions paid, or to be paid, to our defined contribution savings plans for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, were $31.3 million, $28.7 million, and $23.4 million, respectively.

Defined Contributory Trust

We have participated in a multiemployer defined contributory trust plan for certain union hourly employees since 2013. As of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 approximately 740, 760, and 735, respectively, of our employees participated in this plan. Effective in 2020, through collective bargaining negotiations, some of our employees no longer participate in this plan. For certain of these employees, per the terms of the representative collective bargaining agreements, we were required to contribute 4.5% of the employee's earnings during 2022, 2021, and 2020. For certain other of these employees, we were required to contribute $0.90 per hour per active employee during 2020. Company contributions to the multiemployer defined contributory trust plan were $2.0 million, $1.9 million, and $2.4 million, respectively, for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. After required contributions, we have no further obligation to the plan. The plan and its assets are managed by a joint board of trustees.

Table of Contents

Deferred Compensation Plans

We sponsor deferred compensation plans. Under the plans, participating employees and directors irrevocably elect each year to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation. A participant's account is credited with imputed interest at a rate equal to 130% of Moody's Composite Average of Yields on Corporate Bonds. Participants may receive payment of their deferred compensation plan balance in a lump sum or in monthly installments over a specified period of years following the termination of their employment with the company. In addition, subject to plan revisions that became effective January 1, 2019, employee participants may also receive distributions of their deferred compensation accounts while still employed by the company. The deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from our general assets.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recognized $1.4 million, $0.9 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the plans. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had liabilities related to the plans of $1.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, recorded in "Accrued liabilities, Compensation and benefits" and $25.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively, recorded in "Other, Compensation and benefits" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plan

We have participated in a multiemployer health and welfare plan that covered medical, dental, and life insurance benefits for certain active employees as well as benefits for retired employees. Effective November 30, 2020, through collective bargaining negotiations, our employees no longer participate in this plan. Per the terms of the representative collective bargaining agreements, we were required to contribute $6.70 per hour per active employee from June 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020. From June 1, 2020, to November 30, 2020, we were required to contribute $7.00 per hour per active employee. During the year ended December 31, 2020, company contributions to the multiemployer health and welfare plan were $5.8 million. After required contributions, we have no further obligation to the plan. The trustees of the plan determine the allocation of benefits between active and retired employees.

12. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans

Stock-Based Compensation

In April 2016, we adopted the 2016 Boise Cascade Omnibus Incentive Plan (2016 Incentive Plan), which superseded the 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (2013 Incentive Plan). After the effective date of the 2016 Incentive Plan, no awards may be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The 2016 Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards, cash-based compensation, and performance awards. Directors, officers, and other employees, as well as consultants and advisors, are eligible for grants under the 2016 Incentive Plan. These awards are at the discretion of the compensation committee of our board of directors, and they vest and expire in accordance with terms established at the time of grant. All awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan, other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, are eligible to participate in dividend or dividend equivalent payments, if any, which we accrue to be paid if and when the awards vest. Shares issued pursuant to awards under the incentive plans are from our authorized, but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares approved for grant under the 2016 Incentive Plan is 3.7 million shares.

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, we granted two types of stock-based awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan: performance stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). As of December 31, 2022, 2.2 million shares remained available for future issuance under the 2016 Incentive Plan.

PSU and RSU Awards

In 2022, we granted 66,180 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions, at a weighted average grant date fair value of $79.81. For the officers, the number of shares actually awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending upon Boise Cascade's 2022 return on invested capital (ROIC), as approved by our compensation committee in accordance with the related grant agreement. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) divided by average invested capital (based on a rolling thirteen-month average). We define NOPAT as net income plus after-tax financing expense. Invested capital is defined as total assets plus capitalized lease expense, less current liabilities, excluding short-term debt. For the other employees, the number of shares actually awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending upon Boise Cascade's 2022 EBITDA, defined as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as approved by executive management, determined in accordance with the related grant agreement. Because the PSUs contain a performance condition, we record compensation expense over the requisite service period based on the most probable number of shares expected to vest.

Table of Contents

In 2021 and 2020, we granted 73,265 and 94,850 PSUs, at a weighted average grant date fair value of $52.45 and $36.45, respectively, to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. During the 2021 and 2020 performance periods, officers and other employees both earned 200% of the target based on Boise Cascade’s 2021 and 2020 ROIC and EBITDA results, as applicable, determined by our compensation committee and executive management, as applicable, in accordance with the related grant agreements.

The PSUs granted to officers generally vest in a single installment three years from the date of grant, while the PSUs granted to other employees vest in three equal tranches each year after the grant date.

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, we granted an aggregate of 86,869, 101,059, and 125,716 RSUs, at a weighted average grant date fair value of $79.92, $52.95, and $36.45, respectively, to our officers, other employees, and nonemployee directors with only service conditions. The RSUs granted to officers and other employees vest in three equal tranches each year after the grant date. The RSUs granted to nonemployee directors vest in a single installment after a one year period.

We based the fair value of the PSU and RSU awards on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the total fair value of PSUs and RSUs vested was $12.0 million, $9.2 million, and $11.1 million, respectively.

The following summarizes the activity of our PSUs and RSUs awarded under our incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2022:


	PSUs			RSUs
	Number of shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Number of shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2021	246,210	$	39.50	161,300	$	45.08

Compensation Expense

We record compensation expense over the awards' vesting period and account for share-based award forfeitures as they occur, rather than making estimates of future forfeitures. Any shares not vested are forfeited. We recognize compensation expense for stock awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Most of our stock-based compensation expense was recorded in "General and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total stock-based compensation recognized from PSUs and RSUs, net of forfeitures, was as follows:


	Year Ended December 31
	2022		2021		2020
	(thousands)
PSUs	$	6,757	$	4,240	$	3,795
RSUs	5,113		3,671		4,025

Total	$	11,870	$	7,911	$	7,820

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the related tax benefit was $3.0 million. For both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related tax benefit was $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, total unrecognized

Table of Contents

compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements was $13.8 million. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Long-Term Incentive Cash Plan

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, certain non-executive employees participated in a long-term incentive plan that pays awards in cash (LTI Cash Plan). The LTI Cash Plan provides participants with the opportunity to earn a cash award, half of which is subject to service conditions only, with the other half subject to performance and service conditions. For the performance based cash award, the amount of cash actually awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending upon Boise Cascade's EBITDA, determined by executive management in accordance with the related grant agreement. Under the LTI Cash Plan, the award is paid in three equal installments each year after the grant date, with continued employment as a precondition for receipt of each award installment. We recognize compensation expense for cash awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Cash awards subject to performance conditions are also recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the most probable amount of cash to be paid subject to achievement of the performance condition.

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recognized $5.9 million, $5.3 million, and $3.9 million, respectively, of LTI Cash Plan expense, which is recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)," "Selling and distribution expenses," or "General and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the 2021 and 2020 performance periods, cash awards earned 200% of the target based on Boise Cascade’s 2021 and 2020 EBITDA, respectively, determined by executive management in accordance with the related grant agreements.

13. Stockholders' Equity

Our certificate of incorporation has authorized 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No preferred stock was issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. We had 44,827,091 and 44,697,880 shares of common stock issued and 39,460,018 and 39,330,807 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on matters to be voted on by the stockholders of Boise Cascade.

Stock Repurchase

On July 28, 2022, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.5 million shares of our common stock. This increase was in addition to the remaining authorized shares under our prior common stock repurchase program that was authorized on February 25, 2015 (the Program). Share repurchases may be made on an opportunistic basis, through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. We are not obligated to purchase any shares and there is no set date that the Program will expire. Our board may increase or decrease the number of shares under the Program or terminate the Program in its discretion at any time. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we did not purchase any shares under the Program. As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,996,989 shares of common stock that may yet be purchased under the Program.

14. 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 Packaging Corporation of America (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 $13.4 million, $13.4 million, and $12.6 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. These sales are recorded in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Costs and Expenses

Related-party wood fiber purchases from LTP were $85.5 million, $84.4 million, and $70.6 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. These costs are recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

15. Financial Instrument Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial risks such as changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. In 2022, 2021, and 2020, we did not use derivative instruments to manage these risks, except for interest rate swaps as discussed below.

Commodity Price Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At December 31, 2022, we had one interest rate swap agreement. Under the interest rate swap, we receive one-month SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.10% variable interest rate payments and make fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the interest rate on $50.0 million of variable rate debt exposure. Payments on this interest rate swap, with a notional principal amount of $50.0 million, are due on a monthly basis at an annual fixed rate of 0.41%, and this swap expires in June 2025. We entered into this forward interest rate swap in 2020 (the 2020 Swap) and it was amended in September 2022. Prior to the amendment we received one-month LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments at an annual fixed rate of 0.39% on the 2020 Swap. At December 31, 2021, we had two interest rate swap agreements. Under these interest rate swaps, we received one-month LIBOR-based variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments. Payments on one interest rate swap, entered into in 2016, with a notional principal amount of $50.0 million were due on a monthly basis at an annual fixed rate of 1.007%, and this swap expired in February 2022 (the Initial Swap). The 2020 Swap, as mentioned above, commenced on the expiration of the Initial Swap in February 2022.

Foreign Currency Risk

16. Segment Information

We operate our business using two reportable segments: Wood Products and BMD. These segments represent distinct businesses that are managed separately because of differing products and services. Each of these businesses requires distinct operating and marketing strategies. For a description of the products sold by our segments, see Note 3, Revenues.

We measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on net sales and segment operating income (loss). Accordingly, our chief operating decision maker reviews the performance of the company and allocates resources based primarily on net sales and segment operating income (loss) for our business segments. Unallocated corporate costs are presented as reconciling items to arrive at operating income. Unallocated corporate costs include corporate support staff

Table of Contents

services, related assets and liabilities, and nonqualified pension plan activity. Support services include, but are not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance, accounting, and legal functions. Specified expenses are allocated to the segments. For many of these allocated expenses, the related assets and liabilities remain in corporate.

The segments follow the accounting principles described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, one customer accounted for 12%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of total sales when combining sales from Wood Products and BMD to those customers. Sales to foreign unaffiliated customers were approximately $142 million, $128 million, and $71 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

At December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and for the years then ended, long-lived assets located in foreign countries and net sales originating in foreign countries were not material.

Wood Products and BMD segment sales to external customers, including related parties, by product line are as follows:

17. Commitments, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, and Guarantees

Commitments

We have commitments for leases and long-term debt that are discussed further in Note 9, Debt, and Note 10, Leases. In addition, we have purchase obligations for goods and services, capital expenditures, and raw materials entered into in the normal course of business.

We are a party to a number of long-term log supply agreements. At December 31, 2022, our total obligation for log purchases under contracts with third parties was approximately $150 million based on fixed contract pricing or estimated current contractual index pricing for variable contracts. Under certain log supply agreements, we have the right to cancel or reduce our commitments in the event of a mill curtailment or shutdown. Future purchase prices under most of the variable-price agreements will be set quarterly or semiannually based on regional market prices. Our log requirements and our access to supply, as well as the cost of obtaining logs, are subject to change based on, among other things, the effect of governmental laws and regulations, our manufacturing operations not operating in the normal course of business, log availability, and the status of environmental appeals. Except for deposits required pursuant to log supply contracts, these obligations are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements until contract payment terms take effect.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

Guarantees

We provide guarantees, indemnifications, and assurances to others.

Boise Cascade Company and its subsidiaries (Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C.) act as co-borrowers under our Revolving Credit Facility and ABL Term Loan, described in Note 9, Debt. Their obligations are guaranteed by each of our remaining domestic subsidiaries.

Boise Cascade has issued $400.0 million of 4.875% senior notes due in 2030. At December 31, 2022, $400.0 million of the 2030 Notes were outstanding. The 2030 Notes are guaranteed by each of Boise Cascade Company's existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or co-borrower under our Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 9, Debt, for more information.

Boise Cascade issued guarantees to a limited number of trade creditors of one or more of its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., for trade credit obligations arising in the ordinary course of the business of such operating subsidiaries. These included guarantees of obligations with respect to present and future log agreements of Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C. and several facility leases entered into by Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C. Boise Cascade's exposure under these agreements is limited to future log purchases and the minimum lease payment requirements under the agreements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Boise Cascade Company:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boise Cascade Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 21, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Table of Contents

Customer rebates payable for engineered wood products

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records an accrual for estimated rebates payable to third parties. The Company provides engineered wood products (EWP) rebates at various stages of the supply chain (including dealers and homebuilders) as a means to increase sales. EWP rebates are based on the volume of purchases (measured in dollars or units), among other factors such as customer loyalty, conversion, and commitment incentives, as well as temporary protection from price increases. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $92.9 million of rebates payable to third parties of which $72.2 million represents payables related to EWP rebates.

We identified the rebates payable for EWP as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the Company's estimate of the year-end rebates payable for EWP, which is based on a sell-through model as EWP products transition through the supply chain, required a high degree of subjective auditor judgment. Specifically, the estimate required significant auditor judgment because it is challenging, due to the time lag of information, to estimate sales subject to rebate as the products transition through the supply chain from the Company's wholesale distribution customers to dealers and homebuilders.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the customer rebates payable process. This included controls related to the Company's process to evaluate the information used to estimate sales subject to rebate related to the products as they transition through the supply chain. We evaluated the Company’s ability to accurately estimate its year-end EWP rebate payable in the aggregate by comparing the prior year estimate to the actual rebate payments made. In addition, subsequent to year end, we tested a sample of EWP rebates at the individual entity level by developing an independent estimate of the payable utilizing key contract terms, current year reported sales and usage metrics, current year payment detail, and historic sales and usage metrics to compare to the Company’s estimate of the EWP payable required.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Boise Cascade Company:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Boise Cascade Company and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 21, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired Coastal Plywood Company during 2022, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, Coastal Plywood Company’s internal control over financial reporting associated with approximately 8% of consolidated total assets and approximately 1% of consolidated revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Coastal Plywood Company.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. We have designed these controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, 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 our chief executive officer (CEO) and our chief financial officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow them to make timely decisions regarding our required disclosures. Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Boise Cascade Company (Boise Cascade) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets;

•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

•provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices, and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. As of December 31, 2022, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of Boise Cascade's internal control over financial reporting based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Boise Cascade acquired Coastal Plywood Company and its plywood manufacturing operations on July 25, 2022. Management has excluded these facilities from its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. These facilities represented approximately 8% of Boise Cascade's consolidated total assets

Table of Contents

as of December 31, 2022, and approximately 1% of Boise Cascade's consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
