Nature of Operations
 
We are 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, L.L.C., and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to our conversion to a Delaware corporation and to Boise Cascade Company and its consolidated subsidiaries on or after such conversion. On February 4, 2013, we converted to a Delaware corporation from a Delaware limited liability company by filing a certificate of conversion in Delaware. We are one of the largest producers of plywood and engineered wood products (EWP) in North America and a leading U.S. wholesale distributor of building products.

On February 11, 2013, we issued 13,529,412 shares of common stock in our initial public offering. Following the initial public offering, the common stock held by Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. (BC Holdings) represented 68.7% of our outstanding common stock. In the July 2013 and November 2013 secondary offerings, we registered a combined 18,050,000 shares of common stock sold by BC Holdings. Concurrent with the close of the July 2013 secondary offering, we also repurchased 3,864,062 shares of common stock from BC Holdings (the Repurchase). Following the secondary offerings and the Repurchase, the common stock held by BC Holdings represented 19.8% of our outstanding common stock.    On March 3, 2014, BC Holdings distributed its remaining ownership in Boise Cascade common stock to its members.
 
We operate our business using three reportable segments: (1) Wood Products, which manufactures plywood, EWP, studs, particleboard, and ponderosa pine lumber; (2) Building Materials Distribution, which is a wholesale distributor of building materials; and (3) Corporate and Other, which includes corporate support staff services, related assets and liabilities, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses. For more information, see Note 12, 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, and cash flows 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 2013 Form 10-K and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
