Item 2.02                                             Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On October 19, 2004, we issued an earnings release announcing our third quarter 2004 financial results, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1.  Additionally, executive management will discuss our third quarter earnings during a webcast and conference call to be held today, October 19, at 12 noon (ET).  To access the webcast or conference call, please go to our website at www.bc.com.

 

We will issue our Third Quarter 2004 Fact Book after we file our third quarter Form 10-Q in November.  In the interim period, selected pages from the Fact Book (Financial Highlights, Summary of Operations, Statistical Review / 2003, and Statistical Review / 2004) are attached as Exhibit 99.2.

 

We present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  To supplement the GAAP presentations, we also present the results of our operations before special gains and losses.  For example, in the attached press release, we present results that exclude items such as gains on the sale of assets, non-recurring tax benefits, and unusual employee-related severance costs.  We believe our presentation of results before these special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains and losses that are not indicative of our core operating results.

 

We have reconciled the non-GAAP financial measures to our reported financial performance in the financial notes that accompany our press release.

Sales in third quarter 2004 increased 73% to $3.65 billion, compared with $2.11 billion in third quarter a year ago and $3.40 billion in second quarter 2004.  Year-over-year sales increased primarily because of our acquisition of OfficeMax in December 2003.  Sales were also aided by strong product prices in Boise Building Solutions and improving product prices in Boise Paper Solutions.

On December 9, 2003, Boise acquired OfficeMax, Inc. Following that acquisition, the company began reporting two operating segments, Contract and Retail, within Boise Office Solutions, its office products distribution business.  Taken together, the two operating segments make up the company’s Boise Office Solutions business.

 

In third quarter 2004, Boise Office Solutions sales increased 139% to $2.235 billion, compared with $934 million in the same quarter a year ago. Sales for locations operating in both periods, including OfficeMax retail store locations on a pro forma basis, increased 4%.  Pro forma sales of office supplies and paper, technology products, and furniture each increased 3%.  Boise’s office papers sold through Boise Office Solutions increased 26% to 178,000 tons, compared with last year.

 

Boise Office Solutions operating income in the third quarter was $56.5 million, up from $31.0 million in the same quarter a year ago and $16.0 million in second quarter.  Segment sales, income, and operating margin increased sequentially in the third quarter.  The operating margin was 2.5% in third quarter 2004, compared with 3.3% in the third quarter a year ago and 0.8% in second quarter 2004.

 

In third quarter 2004, Boise Office Solutions achieved $30.8 million of integration synergies related to its acquisition of OfficeMax and recorded integration costs of $6.9 million.  In the first nine months of 2004, synergies totaled $75.2 million of the $80 million expected for the year, and integration costs reached $24.1 million.

Operating income in Boise Paper Solutions was $20.8 million in third quarter 2004, compared with $200,000 in third quarter 2003 and an operating loss of $1.0 million in second quarter 2004.  A September hurricane cost the business approximately $2.8 million due to timber and mill damage and lost production at our pulp and paper mill in Jackson, Alabama.

 

Results were higher than those of a year ago because of higher average paper prices (up 7%) and higher unit sales volume (up 3%).  Relative to second quarter 2004, average paper prices increased 6%.

OUTLOOK

 

In July 2004, Boise Cascade Corporation announced the sale of its paper, forest products, and timberland assets for approximately $3.7 billion to affiliates of Boise Cascade, LLC, a new company formed by Madison Dearborn Partners LLC (MDP).  The targeted completion date for this transaction is October 29.

 

In connection with this transaction, Boise announced on October 5, 2004, that it is offering to pay up to $800 million to repurchase all or a portion of certain outstanding debt securities.  In addition, the company is making a simultaneous offer to pay up to $177 million to redeem its senior floating rate debentures.

 

When the transaction with MDP closes, Boise Cascade Corporation will change its name to OfficeMax Incorporated.  It will continue to operate the office products distribution business as its principal business.  OfficeMax will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol OMX, and its corporate headquarters will be in Itasca, Illinois.

 

Privately held Boise Cascade, LLC, will operate from its headquarters in Boise, Idaho.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Outlook section of this press release contains forward-looking statements about the announced sale of our paper, forest products, and timberland assets, and the associated offer to repurchase some of our outstanding debt securities.  These statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  The proposed asset disposition is subject to several conditions.  There is no assurance we will be able to complete the sale at all or complete it on the terms and conditions we have reported here and elsewhere.  If we cannot complete the sale, we will not be able to repay debt within the timeframes we currently anticipate.  In addition, other intervening or unexpected

events, changes in our debt structure, or unanticipated cash requirements could disrupt our plans for the use of proceeds from the asset sale.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release.  We undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information.

(1)                                 Financial Information

 

The Consolidated Statements of Income and Segment Information are unaudited statements, which do not include all Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In all periods presented, net income involved estimates and accruals.

 

Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.  These reclassifications did not affect net income.

 

(2)                                 Reconciliation of Net Income and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share Before Special Items and          the Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes

 

We evaluate our results of operations both before and after special gains and losses.  We believe our presentation of financial measures before special items enhances our investors’ overall understanding of our recurring operational performance.  Specifically, we believe the results before special items provide useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains and losses that are not indicative of our core operating results.

 

In the following tables, we reconcile our financial measures before special items and the cumulative effect of accounting changes to our reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2003, and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (see Notes 4-7 and Note 9).  There were no special items during the three months ended September 30, 2004.

(3)                                 Acquisition of OfficeMax

 

On December 9, 2003, we acquired OfficeMax, Inc.  OfficeMax is a subsidiary of Boise Cascade Corporation, and the results of OfficeMax operations after December 9, 2003, are included in our Boise Office Solutions, Contract and Retail segments.  For more information about the acquisition, see Note 2, OfficeMax Acquisition, in “Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(4)           First Quarter 2004

 

On March 31, 2004, we sold approximately 79,000 acres of timberland located in western Louisiana for $84 million.  We recorded a $59.9 million gain in “Other income (expense)” in our Boise Paper Solutions segment.  This item increased net income $36.6 million after taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

 

(5)           Second Quarter 2004

 

In May 2004, we sold our 47% interest in Voyageur Panel to Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. for $91.2 million of cash.  We recorded a $46.5 million gain in “Other income (expense)” in our Boise Building Solutions segment.  This item increased net income $28.4 million after taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Prior to the sale, we accounted for the joint venture under the equity method.  Accordingly, segment results do not include the joint venture’s sales but do include $1.2 million and $4.0 million of equity in earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2003.  The nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, include $6.3 million and $4.4 million of equity in earnings.

 

(6)           First Quarter 2003

 

In first quarter 2003, we announced the termination of approximately 550 employees and recorded a pretax charge of $10.1 million for employee-related costs in “Other (income) expense, net.”  We recorded these costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.  We recorded $9.2 million in the Boise Office Solutions, Contract, segment; $0.2 million in the Boise Paper Solutions segment; and $0.7 million in our Corporate and Other segment.  Employee-related costs are primarily for severance payments, most of which were paid in 2003 with the remainder to be paid in 2004.  This item decreased our net income $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

 

(7)           Third Quarter 2003

 

During third quarter 2003, we recorded a net $2.9 million gain, which included a one-time tax benefit related to a favorable tax ruling, net of changes in other tax items.

 

(8)           Income Taxes

 

Our estimated effective tax provision rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was 37.5%, compared with an effective tax benefit rate of 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  Before the special items discussed in Notes 4 through 7 above, our estimated tax provision rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was 36.7%, compared with a 32.4% tax benefit rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  Changes in estimated tax rates are due to the sensitivity of the rates to changing income levels and the mix of domestic and foreign sources of income.

 

(9)           Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes

 

Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which affects the way we account for landfill closure costs.  This statement requires us to record an asset and a liability (discounted) for the estimated closure and closed-site monitoring costs and to depreciate the asset over the landfill’s expected useful life.  Previously, we accrued for the closure costs over the life of the landfill and expensed monitoring costs as incurred.  Effective January 1, 2003, we recorded a one-time after-tax charge of $4.1 million, or 7 cents per share, as a cumulative-effect adjustment for the difference between the amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements prior to the adoption of this statement and the amount recognized after adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 143.

 

13



 

Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted an accounting change for vendor allowances to comply with the guidelines issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received From a Vendor.  Under the new guidance, vendor allowances reside in inventory with the product and are recognized when the product is sold, changing the timing of our recognition of these items.  This change resulted in a one-time, noncash, cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.7 million, or 8 cents per share.

 

(10)         Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net income (loss), as adjusted, by weighted average shares outstanding.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the computation of diluted loss per share was antidilutive; therefore, amounts reported for basic and diluted loss were the same.
