Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Operations and Consolidation
Nature of Operations
Boise Cascade Company is a building products company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are one of the largest United States wholesale distributors of building materials and a leading manufacturer of engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood in North America.
We operate our business using two reportable segments: (1) Building Materials Distribution (BMD), which is a wholesale distributor of building materials, and (2) Wood Products, which primarily manufactures EWP and plywood. For more information, see Note 11, Segment Information.
Consolidation
The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the interim periods presented. Except as disclosed within these condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements, the adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The quarterly consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boise Cascade and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed notes to unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Policies
The complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
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.
8
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 revenue disaggregated by major product line for each reportable segment, see Note 11, Segment Information.
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 BMD segment, costs related to shipping and handling of $78.4 million and $72.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $219.8 million and $201.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, 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. 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.
Customer Rebates and Allowances 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 most likely amount to be paid and recorded as a decrease in "Sales." At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $88.1 million and $83.5 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.
Vendor Rebates and Allowances
We receive rebates and allowances from our vendors under a number of different programs, including vendor marketing programs. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $17.5 million and $17.4 million, respectively, of vendor rebates and allowances recorded in "Receivables, Other" on our 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 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.
Leases
We primarily lease land, buildings, 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 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.
9
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.
Inventories
Inventories included the following (work in process is not material):

| $ | $ | |||||||||||||
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $4.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, of accrued purchases of property and equipment.
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, and long-term debt. Our cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, and our cash equivalents are money market funds. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held $363.7 million and $448.7 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 September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the book value of our fixed-rate senior notes for each period was $400.0 377.2 million and $395.0 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 senior notes. We estimated the fair value of our fixed-rate senior notes 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). 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.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires disclosure of specified costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the disclosures related to our consolidated 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year's presentation, none of which were considered material.
3. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $14.4 million and $42.2 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 28.4 % and 27.5 %, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $9.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 29.5 % and 25.1 %, respectively. For all periods, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate was the effect of state taxes. In addition, our effective tax rates during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were adversely impacted because permanent tax differences had a greater effect relative to the lower levels of pre-tax book income during those periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, was $24.8 million and $36.4 million, respectively.
4. 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. 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 restricted stock units and performance stock units for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount of compensation expense, if any, for future service that has not yet been recognized is 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:
| Three Months Ended September 30 | Nine Months Ended September 30 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Net income | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period (for basic calculation) | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Net income per common share - Basic | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net income per common share - Diluted | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
12
The computation of the dilutive effect of other potential common shares excludes stock awards representing 0.1 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these stock awards would have been antidilutive.
5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
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 carrying amount of our goodwill by segment is as follows:

___________________________________
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 trademarks have indefinite lives, are not amortized, and have a carrying amount of $8.9 5.1 15.5 million and $15.3 million, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets.

Credit Agreement
On April 14, 2025, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a $450 million revolving credit facility (the Revolver), which includes a $45 million swingline sub-facility and a $75 million letter of credit sub-facility. Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed from time to time at our discretion without premium or penalty. The proceeds of borrowings under the agreement are available for working capital needs and general business purposes. The Credit Agreement matures on April 12, 2030.
Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based, at our election, on either an Alternate Base Rate, a Term SOFR Rate, or a Daily Simple SOFR Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), each plus an applicable spread based on our Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The frequency of interest payments on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is dependent on the type of borrowing outstanding. In addition, we are required to pay an unused commitment fee on the unused portion of the lending commitments. This fee ranges from 0.20 % to 0.30 % per annum, dependent upon our Net Leverage Ratio.
The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Boise Cascade Company and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement, except real property and certain other excluded property. The obligations of Boise Cascade Company are required to be guaranteed by all Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement contains customary nonfinancial covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions on new indebtedness, liens, dispositions, certain investments, mergers, swap agreements, restricted payments, and restrictions on affiliate transactions. The Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that our Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.5 :1 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The restricted payment covenant includes restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock. Among other carve outs from this provision is one that allows us to pay dividends or repurchase stock without any dollar limitation, so long as both before and immediately after giving effect to such payments, (i) no default exists or would result therefrom and (ii) the Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3 :1.
At both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $50.0 4.9 395.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolver was approximately 4.90 %.

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 Credit 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 Credit 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.
Cash Paid for Interest
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, cash payments for interest were $22.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

8. Stock-Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we granted two
PSU and RSU Awards
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we granted 91,368 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. For the officers, the PSUs granted are subject to a three-year performance period. The number of shares actually awarded will range from 0 % to 200 % of the target amount. Achievement is measured in annual sub-periods, based on Boise Cascade's return on invested capital (ROIC) for 2026, 2027, and 2028. The average achievement for the three years included in the performance period will determine the number of earned PSUs, 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 cash, cash equivalents, and current liabilities, excluding short-term debt. For the other employees, the PSUs granted are subject to a one-year performance period. The number of shares actually awarded will range from 0 % to 200 % of the target amount, depending upon Boise Cascade’s 2026 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 83,616 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. For both periods, the PSUs granted to officers generally vest in a single installment three years three
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we granted an aggregate of 112,187 and 100,159 RSUs, respectively, to our officers, other employees, and nonemployee directors with only service conditions. For both periods, the RSUs granted to officers and other employees vest in three one year
We based the fair value of PSU and RSU awards on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the total fair value of PSUs and RSUs vested was $17.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively.
The following summarizes the activity of our PSUs and RSUs awarded under our incentive plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:

9. Stockholders' Equity
Dividends
On November 14, 2017, we announced that our board of directors approved a dividend policy to pay quarterly cash dividends to holders of our common stock. For more information regarding our dividend declarations and payments made during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, see "Common stock dividends" on our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.
On October 29, 2026, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share on our common stock, payable on December 16, 2026, to stockholders of record on December 1, 2026. For a description of the restrictions in our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes on our ability to pay dividends, see Note 6, Debt.
Future dividend declarations, including amount per share, record date and payment date, will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, legal capital requirements and surplus, our future operations and earnings, general financial condition, material cash requirements, restrictions imposed by our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes, applicable laws, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
18
Stock Repurchase
On October 30, 2025, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock, excluding applicable fees and taxes. 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 share repurchase program will expire. Our board of directors, at its discretion, may increase or decrease the amount authorized or terminate the share repurchase program at any time.
During third quarter 2025, our board of directors approved a resolution to retire all outstanding treasury shares previously purchased, as well as a policy to retire all future shares immediately upon repurchase. In accordance with the Company’s policy, the excess cost over par value of retired shares is allocated to retained earnings. Repurchased shares are subject to a 1% excise tax, which is also allocated to retained earnings.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased and retired 1,466,250 shares at a cost of $112.8 million, or an average of $76.96 per share, exclusive of excise tax. As of September 30, 2026, there was $125.8 million of our outstanding common stock that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased and retired 1,128,752 shares at a cost of $111.0 million, or an average of $98.31 per share, exclusive of excise tax. The shares were purchased with cash on hand and were retired in accordance with our board-approved policy.
In October 2026, we repurchased and retired 65,006 shares at a cost of approximately $5 million, or an average of $73.95 per share, exclusive of excise tax. Subsequent to these share repurchases, there was approximately $120 million of our outstanding common stock that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase program.
10. 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 $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $7.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. These sales are recorded in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Costs and Expenses
Related-party wood fiber purchases from LTP were $24.2 million and $21.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $63.6 million and $54.3 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. These costs are recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Background
Boise Cascade Company is a building products company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "Boise Cascade," "we," and "our" refer to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Boise Cascade is a large, integrated building materials distributor and wood products manufacturer with widespread operations throughout the United States (U.S.) and one manufacturing facility in Canada. We have two reportable segments: (i) Building Materials Distribution (BMD), which is a wholesale distributor of building materials; and (ii) Wood Products, which primarily manufactures engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood. 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. For more information, see Note 11, Segment Information, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview
We recorded income from operations of $55.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with income from operations of $32.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. In our BMD segment, income decreased $3.0 million to $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses of $6.9 million, offset partially by a gross margin increase of $3.6 million. The increase in gross margin was driven by higher gross margins on commodity products, offset partially by lower gross margins on general line products. In our Wood Products segment, we recorded income of $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with a $12.1 million segment loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher plywood sales prices and EWP sales volumes, offset partially by higher per-unit conversion costs. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.
We ended third quarter 2026 with $385.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $395.1 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $780.3 million. We had $452.5 million of outstanding debt at September 30, 2026. We used $92.1 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as cash provided by operations was offset by capital spending, share repurchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. A further description of our cash sources and uses for the nine-month comparative periods are discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Demand for the products we purchase and distribute, as well as the products we manufacture, is driven primarily by new single-family residential construction, with additional demand generated by new multi-family residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling, and light commercial activity. During the third quarter, high fuel prices and an inflation-driven increase in benchmark interest rates amplified the affordability challenges that have constrained the new home market throughout 2026. To compensate for a reduced pool of qualified homebuyers, homebuilders have pivoted toward build-to-order construction to better align housing starts with home sales and manage finished-home inventory. Activity levels in the fourth quarter are expected to exhibit typical seasonality and decelerate through the winter. Early industry projections for 2027 indicate that housing starts are expected to decline mid-single digits from 2026 levels. Beyond the near-term uncertainty, long-term residential construction fundamentals remain positive, supported by generational tailwinds and an undersupplied housing market. High homeowner equity, aging U.S. housing stock, and a growing preference among older adults to age in place support sustained growth in repair-and-remodeling spending and reinforce the industry’s underlying demand drivers.
Our distribution business, which purchases and resells a diverse range of products, may benefit from rising prices through increased sales and margins, while periods of declining prices may present challenges. Future product pricing, particularly for commodity products we distribute and manufacture, is expected to remain dynamic, influenced by economic and geopolitical conditions, duties and tariffs, input costs, industry operating rates, supply disruptions, transportation costs and availability, inventory levels, and seasonal demand patterns. Our ability to capture market share associated with recent supplier realignment is dependent upon effective execution of inventory load-in, and maintaining inventory positions sufficient to meet customer demand. Customer reliance on our distribution business increases during periods of market uncertainty, as customers respond to slowing sales with more conservative inventory practices, while greater demand certainty typically moderates this effect. We will continue to monitor end-market demand signals and align production rates and inventory stocking positions accordingly.
Factors That Affect Our Operating Results and Trends
Our results of operations and financial performance are influenced by a variety of factors, including the following:
•the commodity nature of a portion of our products and their price movements, which are driven largely by general economic conditions, industry capacity and operating rates, industry cycles that affect supply and demand, and net import and export activity;
•the highly competitive nature of our industry;
•declines in demand for our products due to competing technologies or materials, as well as changes in building code provisions;
•disruptions to information systems used to process and store customer, employee, and vendor information, as well as the technology that manages our operations and other business processes;

Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, total sales increased $134.4 million, or 8%, to $1,802.2 million from $1,667.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total sales increased $187.7 million, or 4%, to $5,132.1 million from $4,944.4 million for the same period in the prior year. As described below, the increase in sales in both periods was driven by the changes in sales prices and volumes for the products we distribute and manufacture, with single-family residential construction activity being the key demand driver for our sales. In third quarter 2026, total U.S. housing starts and single-family housing starts decreased 4% and 2%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2025. On a year-to-date basis through September 2026, total U.S. housing starts and single-family housing starts decreased 1% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025. Average composite panel prices for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were 14% higher and 2% lower, respectively, than in the same periods in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite panel pricing. Average composite lumber prices for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were 25% and 9% higher, respectively, than in the same periods in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite lumber pricing.
Building Materials Distribution. Sales increased $113.3 million, or 7%, to $1,669.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $1,556.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The overall increase in sales was driven by net sales price and net sales volume increases of 5% and 2%, respectively. By product line, general line product sales increased 4%, or $31.0 million; commodity sales increased 15%, or $78.8 million; and EWP sales (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 1%, or $3.5 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, sales increased $177.7 million, or 4%, to $4,755.9 million from $4,578.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in sales was driven by increases of 2% for both net sales prices and net sales volumes. By product line, general line product sales increased 6%, or $118.8 million; commodity sales increased 6%, or $93.5 million; and sales of EWP decreased 4%, or $34.6 million.
Wood Products. Sales, including sales to our BMD segment, increased $64.8 million, or 16%, to $461.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $396.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in sales was driven by higher plywood sales prices of 31%, resulting in increased sales of $36.2 million. In addition, higher sales volumes for LVL and I-joists (collectively referred to as EWP) of 18% and 10%, respectively, resulted in increased sales of $19.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively. These increases were offset partially by lower plywood sales volumes of 7%, resulting in decreased sales of $8.2 million. EWP sales prices were consistent with the same period in the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, sales, including sales to our BMD segment, increased $59.6 million, or 5%, to $1,319.0 million from $1,259.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by higher plywood sales prices of 15%, resulting in increased sales of $56.3 million. In addition, sales volumes for LVL and I-joists increased 4% and 1%, respectively, resulting in increased sales of $15.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. These increases were offset partially by lower I-joist and LVL sales prices of 5% and 4%, respectively, resulting in decreased sales of $31.0 million. Plywood sales volumes were consistent with the same period in the prior year.
Costs and Expenses
Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $102.3 million, or 7%, to $1,506.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1,404.3 million during the same period in the prior year. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by increased prices for products purchased for resale, as well as higher sales volumes compared with third quarter 2025. Materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our BMD segment increased 80 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on general line products, offset partially by higher margin percentages on commodity products. Our MLO rate was also impacted by an increased proportion of sales attributed to commodity products, which have lower margins than general line products and EWP. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher labor and other conversion costs, higher EWP sales volumes, and higher costs of glues and resins compared with third quarter 2025. However, the MLO rate in our Wood Products segment decreased by 530 basis points, primarily as the result of higher plywood sales prices and higher EWP sales volumes.
29
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) increased $143.2 million, or 3%, to $4,265.1 million, compared with $4,122.0 million in the same period in the prior year. In BMD, the increase in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by increased prices for products purchased for resale, as well as higher sales volumes compared with the first nine months of 2025. The BMD segment MLO rate increased 50 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on general line products, offset partially by higher margin percentages on commodity products. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher labor and other conversion costs, as well as higher costs of glues and resins. These increases were offset partially by lower costs of OSB compared with the first nine months of 2025. However, the MLO rate in our Wood Products segment decreased by 260 basis points, primarily as the result of higher plywood sales prices.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million, or 1%, to $42.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $42.4 million during the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, these expenses increased $7.6 million, or 6%, to $124.5 million, compared with $116.9 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in both periods was primarily due to recent investments in support of our EWP capabilities in our Wood Products segment, as well as organic growth and a fourth quarter 2025 acquisition in our BMD segment.
Selling and distribution expenses increased $7.6 million, or 5%, to $172.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $165.1 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher shipping and handling costs of $6.9 million, as well as higher employee-related expenses of $2.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, selling and distribution expenses increased $26.4 million, or 6%, to $497.0 million, compared with $470.5 million during the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily a result of higher shipping and handling costs of $15.4 million, as well as higher employee-related expenses of $13.1 million.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 4%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $25.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower professional fees, offset partially by higher incentive compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 1%, to $78.2 million, compared with $77.2 million during the same period in 2025. The increase was due primarily to higher employee-related expenses and incentive compensation expense, offset partially by lower professional fees.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other (income) expense, net was $2.0 million of income, primarily resulting from a settlement gain associated with a fire at our BMD Phoenix location in second quarter 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other (income) expense, net was $9.6 million of income, primarily related to gains on the sale of non-operating properties in our Wood Products and BMD segments in second quarter 2025, as well as the settlement gain discussed above.
Income From Operations
Income from operations increased $23.5 million to $55.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Income from operations increased $0.2 million to $167.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $167.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Building Materials Distribution. Segment income decreased $3.0 million to $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses of $6.9 million, offset partially by a gross margin increase of $3.6 million. The increase in gross margin was driven by higher gross margins on commodity products, offset partially by lower gross margins on general line products.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, segment income decreased $26.4 million to $154.3 million from $180.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $25.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a gross margin increase of $6.4 million, resulting from higher gross margins on commodity products, which were offset partially by lower gross margins on EWP and general line products.
Wood Products. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, segment income was $16.1 million, compared with segment loss of $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher plywood sales prices and EWP sales volumes, offset partially by higher per-unit conversion costs.
30
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, segment income increased $30.6 million to $50.2 million from $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher plywood sales prices and sales volumes, higher EWP sales volumes, and lower per-unit OSB costs. These increases in segment income were offset partially by lower EWP sales prices and higher per-unit conversion costs.
Corporate. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.6 million to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $9.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $1.9 million settlement gain recognized in third quarter 2025, which reduced expenses in the prior-year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, unallocated corporate expenses increased $4.0 million to $37.0 million from $33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the absorption of approximately $1.8 million of estimated insurance losses related to a fire at our Florien veneer and plywood facility in first quarter 2026 under our self-insured risk retention program, as well as the $1.9 million settlement gain in 2025, which reduced expenses in the prior-year period.
Other
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $2.1 million to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $4.2 million for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, interest income decreased $7.1 million to $7.2 million from $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in both periods was due primarily to lower average balances of cash equivalents, as well as lower interest rates.
Income Tax Provision
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $14.4 million and $42.2 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 28.4% and 27.5%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $9.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 29.5% and 25.1%, respectively. For all periods, the primary reason for the difference between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate was the effect of state taxes. In addition, our effective tax rates during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were adversely impacted because permanent tax differences had a greater effect relative to the lower levels of pre-tax book income during those periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We ended third quarter 2026 with $385.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $452.5 million of debt. At September 30, 2026, we had $780.3 million of available liquidity (cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed bank line availability). Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $92.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as cash provided by operations was offset by capital spending, share repurchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. Further descriptions of our cash sources and uses for the nine-month comparative periods are noted below.
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 the remainder of 2026 from cash on hand and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
31
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 distribution and manufacture 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 stockholders 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
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our operating activities generated $146.3 million of cash, compared with $123.1 million of cash generated during the same period in 2025. The $23.2 million increase in cash provided by operations was due to a lesser year-over-year increase in working capital, as well as a $11.6 million decrease in cash paid for taxes, net of refunds, compared to the same period in 2025. Working capital increased $113.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with a $122.8 million increase for the same period in the prior year. See "Our Operating Results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information related to factors affecting our operating results.
The increase in working capital during both periods was primarily attributable to higher receivables and inventories, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in receivables in both periods primarily reflect increased sales of approximately 26% and 15%, comparing sales for the months of September 2026 and 2025 with sales for the months of December 2025 and 2024, respectively. Inventories increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 due to seasonally higher inventory purchases in our BMD segment for the summer building season, increased prices resulting in higher inventory valuations, as well as load-in of inventory related to our previously announced supplier transition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, inventories increased due to seasonally higher inventory purchases in our BMD segment for the summer building season, as well as expansions at some of our BMD facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was related to the increase in inventories, and an increase in accrued employee incentive compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by lower accrued employee incentive compensation and employee incentive compensation payouts made during the period.
Investment Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we used $90.4 million and $187.4 million, respectively, of cash for purchases of property and equipment, including replacement and expansion projects, business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received proceeds of $11.1 million from the sale of assets.
Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2026 to total approximately $120 million to $140 million. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of several factors, including availability of engineering and construction resources and timing and availability of equipment purchases.
32
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our financing activities used $148.8 million of cash, including $112.8 million for the repurchase of 1,466,250 shares of our common stock, $26.1 million in common stock dividend payments, and $6.2 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, non-cash investing and financing activities included the issuance of a $2.5 million promissory note to partially finance a property purchase. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we did not borrow under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2026, we had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our financing activities used $148.2 million of cash, including $111.0 million for the repurchase of 1,128,752 shares of our common stock, $26.6 million in common stock dividend payments, and $5.9 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. On April 14, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement for a $450.0 million revolving credit facility which matures on April 12, 2030. At closing, $50.0 million under the facility was borrowed. Proceeds from the facility were used to repay the $50.0 million term loan under the asset-based revolving credit facility.
For more information related to our debt transactions and structure, our dividend policy, and our stock repurchase program, see the discussion in Note 6, Debt, and Note 9, Stockholders' Equity, respectively, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Other Material Cash Requirements
For information about other material cash requirements, see Liquidity and Capital Resources in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes in other material cash requirements outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2025.
Guarantees
Note 8, Debt, and Note 16, Commitments, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, and Guarantees, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 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. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the guarantees disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Seasonal Influences
We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors impacting the level of construction activity. 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. Demand typically rises in the spring and summer months as favorable weather and increased building and remodeling projects boost sales volumes. In contrast, the winter months during the first and fourth quarters generally bring lower sales due to reduced construction activity and higher operating costs, particularly for energy. We also adjust our working capital ahead of the peak building season to ensure product availability. These seasonal trends impact our sales, expenses and operational planning throughout the year.
Employees
As of October 25, 2026, we had approximately 7,760 employees. Approximately 17% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. As of October 25, 2026, we had nine collective bargaining agreements. One agreement covering approximately 80 employees at our Canadian EWP facility is set to expire on December 31, 2026. The terms and conditions of this agreement will remain in effect after expiration, pending negotiation of a new agreement.
33
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, or additional collective bargaining agreements are formed, 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.
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. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to financial market risks disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Environmental
As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to environmental issues disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information, see Environmental in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results. These estimates require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to estimate matters that are inherently uncertain. We review the development, selection, and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. For information about critical accounting estimates, see Critical Accounting Estimates in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
For information related to new and recently adopted accounting standards, see New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" in this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see the discussion under "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and under the headings Disclosures of Financial Market Risks and Financial Instruments in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
34
ITEM 4. 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, such as this Form 10-Q, 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 September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
35
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including commercial liability claims, premises claims, environmental claims, employment-related claims, and governmental investigations and audits, among others. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe that we are party to any legal action that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental provisions if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, we use a threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about our expectations, anticipated financial results, projected capital expenditures, and future business prospects, are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by our use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "should," "plan," "anticipate," and other similar expressions. You can find examples of these statements throughout this report, including "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We cannot guarantee that our actual results will be consistent with the forward-looking statements we make in this report. You should review carefully the risk factors listed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K, as well as those factors listed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the risk factor below. We do not assume an obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
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. In the case of the general line products that we distribute, brand preference and product performance characteristics can have a high degree of influence on our customers' purchasing decisions. In addition, although we have agreements with many of our suppliers, such agreements are generally terminable by either party on relatively short notice. On July 13, 2026, the Company received a notice of termination of the commercial distribution relationship with our primary composite decking supplier. Effective July 31, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with another supplier of composite decking products that is intended to serve as our sole composite decking offering to our customers. Such a transition can be complex and may not be executed successfully or on our expected timeline. During the transition, we may experience a disruption in product availability, longer lead times, and reduced ability to fulfill customer orders. In addition, we anticipate some customers will shift purchases to competitors to retain access to our former composite decking offering which may result in the loss of certain customer relationships that may be difficult to recover. As a result, our sales and profitability could be impacted during the transition. The supplier transition may also require us to offer discounts to liquidate inventory or record inventory write-offs or reserves if we are unable to sell such products at expected prices or within anticipated timeframes. Further, differences in product specifications, performance characteristics, or product quality may increase the risk of customer dissatisfaction, customer loss, higher return rates, and reputational harm. As such, the supplier transition could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
