Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 6, 2018, Boise Cascade Company (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its third quarter 2018 financial results, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K. Additionally, Exhibit 99.2, a copy of which is furnished hereby, includes certain statistical information relative to the Company's quarterly performance.
The Company has reconciled all non-GAAP measures presented to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On November 2, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to permanently curtail laminated veneer lumber (LVL) production at its Roxboro, North Carolina facility. The Company acquired the Roxboro facility in March 2016. At the time of acquisition, the LVL assets were not operational and had been idled by the previous owner since approximately 2010. The Company began recommissioning the LVL assets shortly after the acquisition date and began to produce LVL in the second half of 2016. However, after extended efforts to improve the throughput and cost position of LVL production at Roxboro, the Company has concluded that it would be unable to reduce manufacturing costs to an acceptable level. The Company expects the curtailment to be complete by December 31, 2018. As a result, the Company expects to record approximately $60 million of charges during fourth quarter 2018, substantially all of which will be to fully depreciate the curtailed LVL production assets.
The Company intends to continue production of I-joists at the Roxboro facility. The Company does not anticipate any impact on its customers from the LVL curtailment because the Company has additional capacity and expansion opportunities at its Alexandria, Louisiana, and Thorsby, Alabama, facilities that will allow it to maintain its current service profile and also support future growth. The press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated by reference into this Item 2.05.
