Louisiana Timber Procurement Company, L.L.C. (LTP) is an unconsolidated variable-interest entity that is 50% owned by us and 50% owned by 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.

Related-party sales to LTP from our Wood Products segment in our Consolidated Statements of Operations were $7.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and $21.3 million and $16.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. These pulpwood and chip sales were made at prices designed to approximate market. These sales are recorded in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
