Briefing
Boise Cascade reported increased sales and net income compared to the same quarter last year.
Boise Cascade reported Q4 net income of $26.0 million, or $0.66 per share, on sales of $1.5 billion. The results were negatively impacted by non-cash items, including pension settlement charges and income tax expense related to the elimination of the defined benefit pension plan.
- Delivered the best safety performance in the Company’s history in 2020.
- Reinvested in businesses through door shop expansions in Texas, facility expansions in key distribution markets, and the log utilization center project at the Florien mill.
- Provided dividends to shareholders and supported the team and communities in response to natural disasters in Louisiana and Oregon.
- BMD warehouse sales were strong throughout the third and fourth quarters as retail lumberyard customers relied on the broad base of inventory and high service levels.

Forward guidance
Wood Products continues to experience periodic short-term disruptions at many locations due to COVID-19 as we continue to make efforts to restore production rates to pre-COVID-19 levels in response to strong end-product demand, particularly for our EWP.
Tailwinds
- Low mortgage rates
- Continuation of work-from-home practices by many in the economy
- Demographics in the U.S. have created a favorable demand environment for new residential construction, which we expect to continue in 2021.
- Homeowners spending more time at home, repair and remodel spending may remain elevated as homeowners invest in existing homes.
- Strong demand when coupled with capacity constraints in late fourth quarter 2020 and early first quarter 2021 created supply/demand imbalances in the marketplace and historically high pricing levels for commodity lumber and panel products.
Headwinds
- COVID-19 related short-term disruptions at our BMD locations
- Activity levels across our distribution network continue to vary widely as COVID-19 impacts geographies across the U.S. to differing degrees, and federal, state, or local restrictions are implemented or rescinded.
- Heightened level of economic uncertainty due to the pandemic
- Impacts of COVID-19 on residential construction and residential repair-and-remodeling activity are uncertain.
- Capacity constraints in late fourth quarter 2020 and early first quarter 2021 created supply/demand imbalances in the marketplace
