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 producers of engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood in North America and a leading United States wholesale distributor of building products.

We operate our business using two reportable segments: (1) Wood Products, which primarily manufactures EWP and plywood, and (2) Building Materials Distribution (BMD), which is a wholesale distributor of building materials. 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 2024 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 2024 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.

Table of Contents

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 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. For our BMD segment, costs related to shipping and handling of $60.2 million and $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.

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 expected amount to be paid and recorded as a decrease in "Sales." At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $66.5 million and $91.4 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $18.4 million and $17.7 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 one 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

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, long-term debt, and an interest rate swap. Our cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, and our cash equivalents are money market funds. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held $534.8 million and $679.5 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the book value of our fixed-rate debt for each period was $400.0 million, and the fair value was estimated to be $377.0 million for each period. 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, long-term debt. We estimated the fair value of our fixed-rate debt 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) or a base rate. 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. As discussed below, we also have an interest rate swap to mitigate our variable interest rate exposure, the fair value of which is measured based on Level 2 inputs.

Interest Rate Risk and Interest Rate Swap

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in variable-rate SOFR on our term loan and when we have loan amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2025, we had $50.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding based on one-month term SOFR. Our objective is to limit the variability of interest payments on our debt. To meet this objective, we enter into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps to mitigate the variable-rate cash flow exposure with fixed-rate cash flows. In accordance with our risk management strategy, we actively monitor our interest rate exposure and use derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. We do not speculate using derivative instruments.

At March 31, 2025, we had one interest rate swap agreement. Under the interest rate swap, we receive one-month SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.10% variable interest rate payments and make fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the interest rate on $50.0 million of variable rate debt exposure. Payments on this interest rate swap, with a notional principal amount of $50.0 million, are due on a monthly basis at an annual fixed rate of 0.41%, and this swap expires in June 2025. The interest rate swap agreement was not designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, all changes in the fair value are recognized in "Change in fair value of interest rate swaps" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations rather than through other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was immaterial. The swap was valued based on observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities and other observable inputs for interest rates and yield curves (Level 2 inputs).

Concentration of Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk related to customer accounts receivable. In order to manage credit risk, we consider customer concentrations and current economic trends and monitor the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. At March 31, 2025, receivables from two customers accounted for approximately 17% and 10% of total receivables. At December 31, 2024, receivables from these two customers accounted for approximately 19% and 11% of total receivables. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total receivables.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the disclosures related to our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the 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.

3. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $13.8 million and $32.8 million, respectively, of income tax expense and had an effective rate of 25.5% and 24.0%, respectively. For both 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, were $1.5 million and $1.9 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 exercise price of a share and the amount of compensation expense, if any, for future service that has not yet been recognized are 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 March 31
	2025		2024
	(thousands, except per-share data)
Net income	$	40,348	$	104,124
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period (for basic calculation)	38,017		39,608
Dilutive effect of other potential common shares	198		348
Weighted average common shares and potential common shares (for diluted calculation)	38,215		39,956

Net income per common share - Basic	$	1.06	$	2.63
Net income per common share - Diluted	$	1.06	$	2.61

The computation of the dilutive effect of other potential common shares excludes stock awards representing an insignificant number of shares of common stock in both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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:


	Building Materials Distribution		Wood Products		Total
	(thousands)



Balance at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025	$	45,779	$	126,166	$	171,945

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 trade names and trademarks have indefinite lives, are not amortized, and have a carrying amount of $8.9 million. In addition, we have acquired trade names and customer relationships through acquisitions, which are amortized over their useful life. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 we recognized $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets.

Intangible assets consisted of the following:


	March 31, 2025

Asset-Based Credit Facility

On May 15, 2015, Boise Cascade and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and

Table of Contents

Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp., as guarantor, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, (the Amended Agreement) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as administrative agent, and the banks named therein as lenders. The Amended Agreement includes a $400 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) and a $50.0 million term loan (ABL Term Loan) maturing on the earlier of (a) September 9, 2027 and (b) 90 days prior to the maturity of our $400 million of 4.875% senior notes due July 1, 2030 (or the maturity date of any permitted refinancing indebtedness or permitted upsized refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof). Interest on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and ABL Term Loan is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are constrained by a borrowing base formula dependent upon levels of eligible receivables and inventory reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (Availability).

The Amended Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, except for property and equipment. The proceeds of borrowings under the agreement are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Amended Agreement contains customary nonfinancial covenants, including a negative pledge covenant and restrictions on new indebtedness, investments, distributions to equity holders, asset sales, and affiliate transactions, the scope of which are dependent on the Availability existing from time to time. The Amended Agreement also contains a requirement that we meet a 1:1 fixed-charge coverage ratio (FCCR), applicable only if Availability falls below the greater of (a) 10% of the Line Cap (as defined in the Amended Agreement) and (b) $35 million. Availability exceeded the minimum threshold amounts required for testing of the FCCR at all times since entering into the Amended Agreement, and Availability at March 31, 2025 was $395.7 million.

The Amended Agreement permits us to pay dividends only if at the time of payment (a) no default has occurred or is continuing (or would result from such payment) under the Amended Agreement, and (b) either (i) pro forma Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Agreement) is equal to or exceeds the greater of (x) 20% of the Line Cap and (y) $75 million or (ii) (x) pro forma Excess Availability is equal to or exceeds the greater of (1) 15% of Line Cap and (2) $55 million and (y) our fixed-charge coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1:1 on a pro forma basis.

Revolving Credit Facility

Interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility are based, at our election, on either Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, or a base rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus a spread over the index elected that ranges from 1.25% to 1.50% for loans based on SOFR and from 0.25% to 0.50% for loans based on the base rate. The spread is determined on the basis of a pricing grid that results in a higher spread as average quarterly Availability declines. Both SOFR options include an additional credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Letters of credit are subject to a fronting fee payable to the issuing bank and a fee payable to the lenders equal to the Term SOFR margin rate. In addition, we are required to pay an unused commitment fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the lending commitments.

At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. These letters of credit and borrowings, if any, reduce Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility by an equivalent amount.

ABL Term Loan

The ABL Term Loan was provided by institutions within the Farm Credit system. Borrowings under the ABL Term Loan may be repaid from time to time at the discretion of the borrowers without premium or penalty. However, any principal amount of ABL Term Loan repaid may not be subsequently re-borrowed.

Interest rates under the ABL Term Loan are based, at our election, on either Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, or a base rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus a spread over the index elected that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% for SOFR rate loans and from 0.75% to 1.00% for base rate loans, both dependent on the amount of Average Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Agreement). Both SOFR options include an additional credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the average interest rate on the ABL Term Loan was approximately 6.17%.

Table of Contents

We have received and expect to continue receiving patronage credits under the ABL Term Loan. Patronage credits are distributions of profits from banks in the Farm Credit system, which are cooperatives that are required to distribute profits to their members. Patronage distributions, which are generally made in cash, are received in the year after they are earned. Patronage credits are recorded as a reduction to interest expense in the year earned. After giving effect to expected patronage distributions, the effective average net interest rate on the ABL Term Loan was approximately 5.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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 $450.0 million revolving facility (the “Revolver”), which includes a $45.0 million swingline sub-facility and a $75.0 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 Credit Agreement matures on April 14, 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.

At closing, $50.0 million under the Revolver was borrowed, and we had approximately $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced availability under the Credit Agreement. Proceeds from the Revolver were used to repay the $50.0 million ABL Term Loan under the Amended Agreement.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement described above, we terminated the Amended Agreement, which provided for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million term loan facility. The outstanding letters of credit under the Prior Credit Agreement were transferred to the Credit Agreement in connection with the termination of the Amended Agreement. We did not incur any penalties in connection with the termination of the Amended Agreement.

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 Amended 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 Amended 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.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

In first quarter 2025 and 2024, we granted two types of stock-based awards under our incentive plan: performance stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs).

PSU and RSU Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted 83,616 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 2025, 2026, and 2027. 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 2025 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. Because the PSUs contain a performance condition, we record compensation expense over the requisite service period based on the most probable number of shares expected to vest.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 60,207 PSUs to our officers and other employees, subject to performance and service conditions. The PSUs granted to officers generally vest in a single installment three years from the date of grant, while the PSUs granted to other employees vest in three equal tranches each year after the grant date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we granted an aggregate of 98,327 and 71,168 RSUs, respectively, to our officers, other employees, and nonemployee directors with only service conditions. The RSUs granted to officers and other employees vest in three equal tranches each year after the grant date. The RSUs granted to nonemployee directors vest in a single installment after a one year period.

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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the total fair value of PSUs and RSUs vested was $15.7 million and $31.1 million, respectively.

The following summarizes the activity of our PSUs and RSUs awarded under our incentive plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


	PSUs			RSUs
	Number of shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Number of shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2024	257,024	$	86.31	131,797	$	104.45
Granted	83,616	103.66		98,327	103.66
Performance condition adjustment (a)	(1,157)	137.79		—	—
Vested	(81,165)	81.15		(70,933)	99.65

Outstanding, March 31, 2025	258,318	$	93.32	159,191	$	106.10

_______________________________

(a) Represents total PSUs forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to below-target achievement of the 2024 performance condition on awards granted to other employees in 2024. During the 2024 performance period, other employees earned 90% of the target based on Boise Cascade's 2024 EBITDA, determined by executive management, in accordance with the related grant agreement.

Compensation Expense

We record compensation expense over the awards' vesting period and account for share-based award forfeitures as they occur, rather than making estimates of future forfeitures. Any shares not vested are forfeited. We recognize compensation expense for stock awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Most of our stock-based compensation expense was recorded in "General and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total stock-based compensation recognized from PSUs and RSUs, net of forfeitures, was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2025		2024
	(thousands)
PSUs	$	1,832	$	2,277
RSUs	1,925		1,828

Total	$	3,757	$	4,105

The related tax benefit for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements was $30.9 million. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, see "Common stock dividends" on our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.

On May 1, 2025, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share on our common stock, payable on June 18, 2025, to stockholders of record on June 2, 2025. 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.

Stock Repurchase

On October 30, 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.4 million shares of our common stock. This is the most recent authorization under our common stock repurchase program that was authorized on February 25, 2015 (the Program). 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 Program will expire. Our board of directors may increase or decrease the number of shares under the Program or terminate the Program in its discretion at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 482,700 shares under the Program at a cost of $53.9 million, or an average of $111.63 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 205,938 shares under the Program at a cost of $27.0 million, or an average of $130.97 per share. The shares were purchased with cash on hand and are recorded as "Treasury stock" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025, there were 1,325,516 shares of common stock that may yet be purchased under the Program.

In April 2025, we repurchased 179,445 shares under the Program at a cost of approximately $17 million, or an average of $94.10 per share. Subsequent to these share repurchases, there were approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock that may yet be purchased under the 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 $1.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These sales are recorded in "Sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Costs and Expenses

Related-party wood fiber purchases from LTP were $14.8 million and $19.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These costs are recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Executive Overview

We recorded income from operations of $54.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with income from operations of $133.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In our Wood Products segment, income decreased $53.5 million to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $71.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due primarily to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale, Louisiana veneer and plywood mill. In addition, lower EWP sales volumes and higher lumber input costs for solid-sawn I-joist and laminated beam production also contributed to the decrease in segment income. In our BMD segment, income decreased $24.0 million to $48.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $72.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by a gross margin decrease of $20.4 million, resulting primarily from lower sales volumes and decreased margins on commodity and EWP products. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.3 million. These changes are discussed further in "Our Operating Results" below.

We ended first quarter 2025 with $561.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $395.7 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $957.5 million. We had $450.0 million of outstanding debt at March 31, 2025. We used $151.5 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to fund seasonal working capital increases, capital spending, treasury stock purchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. A further description of our cash sources and uses for the three-month comparative periods are discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction. Residential construction, particularly new single-family construction, is the key demand driver for the products we manufacture and distribute. Over the past quarter, the operating environment was challenged. In addition to seasonally slower activity, consumer and homebuilder sentiment was dampened due to significant macroeconomic uncertainties and elevated mortgage rates. Given the current environment, 2025 end market demand expectations are difficult to predict, with most forecasts for housing starts ranging between flat to mid-single digit year-over-year declines. Ultimately, the level and expectations for mortgage rates, home affordability, home equity levels, home size, levels of new and existing home inventory for sale, unemployment levels, consumer confidence, and other factors will influence the near-term demand environment. Long term demand drivers for residential construction, characterized by an undersupply in housing units, aging U.S. housing stock, and elevated levels of homeowner equity remain in place.

As a manufacturer of certain commodity products, we have sales and profitability exposure to declines in commodity product prices and rising input costs. Our distribution business purchases and resells a broad mix of products with periods of increasing prices providing the opportunity for higher sales and increased margins, while declining price environments expose us to declines in sales and profitability. Future product pricing, particularly commodity products pricing and input costs, may be volatile in response to economic uncertainties, industry operating rates, supply-related disruptions, imposition of tariffs, transportation constraints or disruptions, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns. In addition, EWP volumes will continue to be influenced by changes in new single-family housing starts and we expect modest EWP price erosion in the second quarter.

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;

•material disruptions and/or major equipment failure at our manufacturing facilities;

Table of Contents

•declining demand for residual byproducts, particularly wood chips generated in our manufacturing operations;

•labor disruptions, shortages of skilled and technical labor, or increased labor costs;

•the need to successfully formulate and implement succession plans for key members of our management team;

•product shortages, loss of key suppliers, and our dependence on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;

•the cost and availability of third-party transportation services used to deliver the goods we manufacture and distribute, as well as our raw materials;

•cost and availability of raw materials, including wood fiber and glues and resins;

•our ability to execute our organic growth and acquisition strategies efficiently and effectively;

•failures or delays with new or existing technology systems and software platforms;

•our ability to successfully pursue our long-term growth strategy related to innovation and digital technology;

•concentration of our sales among a relatively small group of customers, as well as the financial condition and creditworthiness of our customers;

•impairment of our long-lived assets, goodwill, and/or intangible assets;

•substantial ongoing capital investment costs, including those associated with organic growth and acquisitions, and the difficulty in offsetting fixed costs related to those investments;

•our indebtedness, including the possibility that we may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings may not be available in amounts sufficient to fulfill our debt obligations and fund other liquidity needs;

•restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements;

•changes in foreign trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs;

•compliance with data privacy and security laws and regulations;

•the impacts of climate change and related legislative and regulatory responses intended to reduce climate change;

•cost of compliance with government regulations, in particular, environmental regulations;

•exposure to product liability, product warranty, casualty, construction defect, and other claims;

•fluctuations in the market for our equity; and

•the other factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total sales decreased $108.9 million, or 7%, to $1,536.5 million from $1,645.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As described below, the decrease in sales was driven by the changes in sales prices and volumes for the products we manufacture and distribute with single-family residential construction activity being the key demand driver of our sales. In first quarter 2025, total U.S. housing starts and single-family housing starts decreased 2% and 6%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2024. Average composite panel prices for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were 13% lower than in the same period in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite panel pricing. Average composite lumber prices for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were 13% higher than in the same period in the prior year, as reflected by Random Lengths composite lumber pricing.

Wood Products. Sales, including sales to our BMD segment, decreased $53.1 million, or 11%, to $415.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $468.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in sales was driven by lower sales prices of 9% for both LVL and I-joists (collectively referred to as EWP), resulting in decreased sales of $12.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Additionally, sales volumes decreased 3% for both LVL and I-joists, resulting in decreased sales of $4.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively. EWP sales volumes decreased due to a decrease in housing starts. In addition, plywood sales prices and sales volumes decreased 10% and 2%, respectively, resulting in decreased sales of $13.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Building Materials Distribution. Sales decreased $97.9 million, or 7%, to $1,407.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1,505.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall decrease in sales was driven by sales volume and sales price decreases of 5% and 2%, respectively. By product line, commodity sales decreased 7%, or $36.1 million; general line product sales decreased 3%, or $17.2 million; and EWP sales (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) decreased 13%, or $44.6 million.

Costs and Expenses

Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation) decreased $31.3 million, or 2%, to $1,276.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $1,307.4 million during the same period in the prior year. In our Wood Products segment, materials, labor, and other operating expenses increased due to purchases of externally produced veneer for our Alexandria EWP mill as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale veneer and plywood mill. In addition, lumber input costs for solid-sawn I-joist and laminated beam production also increased. These increases were offset by lower sales volumes compared with first quarter 2024. Materials, labor, and other operating expenses as a percentage of sales (MLO rate) in our Wood Products segment increased by 1,100 basis points, primarily as the result of lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as lower sales volumes which resulted in decreased leveraging of manufacturing costs. In BMD, the decrease in materials, labor, and other operating expenses was driven by lower purchased materials costs as a result of a decrease in sales volumes compared with first quarter 2024. However, the BMD segment MLO rate increased 40 basis points, driven by lower margin percentages on commodity and EWP products.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million, or 4%, to $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $35.9 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment, offset partially by $2.2 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in first quarter 2024 for the indefinite curtailment of lumber production at our Chapman, Alabama facility.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $0.5 million, or less than 1%, to $143.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $144.1 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower incentive compensation expense, as well as decreased shipping and handling costs. These decreases were offset by higher employee-related expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $25.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily the result of lower incentive compensation offset partially by an increase in professional fees.

Income From Operations

Income from operations decreased $78.5 million to $54.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $133.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Wood Products. Segment income decreased $53.5 million to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $71.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in segment income was due primarily to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as higher per-unit conversion costs as a result of downtime to complete the modernization projects at our Oakdale, Louisiana veneer and plywood mill. In addition, lower EWP sales volumes and higher lumber input costs for solid-sawn I-joist and laminated beam production also contributed to the decrease in segment income.

Building Materials Distribution. Segment income decreased $24.0 million to $48.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $72.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in segment income was driven by a gross margin decrease of $20.4 million, resulting primarily from lower sales volumes and decreased margins on commodity and EWP products. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.3 million.

Corporate. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $0.9 million to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $10.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in employee-related expenses and professional fees.

Other

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $5.1 million to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $10.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower average balances of cash equivalents, as well as lower interest rates.

Change in fair value of interest rate swaps. For information related to our interest rate swap, see the discussion under "Interest Rate Risk and Interest Rate Swap" of Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Income Tax Provision

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended first quarter 2025 with $561.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $450.0 million of debt. At March 31, 2025, we had $957.5 million of available liquidity (cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed bank line availability). Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $151.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as we used cash to fund seasonal working capital increases, capital spending, treasury stock purchases, and dividends paid on our common stock. Further descriptions of our cash sources and uses for the three-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 2025 from cash on hand and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

On April 14, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement for a $450.0 million revolving facility which matures on April 14, 2030. At closing, $50.0 million under the facility was borrowed, and we had approximately $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced availability under the credit agreement. Proceeds from the facility were used to repay the $50.0 million term loan under the asset-based revolving credit facility. In connection with the entry into the credit agreement described above, we terminated the $400.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility and $50.0 million term loan facility. For more information related to our credit agreements, see the discussion in Note 6, Debt, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

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 manufacture and distribution 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 shareholders 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.

Net cash used for financing	(70,778)		(49,631)

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our operating activities used $28.5 million of cash, compared with $27.5 million of cash generated in the same period in 2024. The $55.9 million decrease in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a decrease in income from operations, offset partially by a lesser year-over-year increase in working capital. Working capital increased $123.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with a $149.2 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 18% and 19%, comparing sales for the months of March 2025 and 2024 with sales for the months of December 2024 and 2023, respectively. Inventories increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 in preparation for the spring building season, as well as participation in certain BMD vendors' early-buy programs. Inventories increased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in preparation for the spring building season. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2025 was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by employee compensation payouts made during the quarter and lower accrued rebates. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2024 was related to the increase in inventories and extended terms offered by certain BMD vendors, offset partially by employee incentive compensation payouts made during the quarter.

Investment Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we used $53.2 million and $34.3 million, respectively, of cash for purchases of property and equipment, including business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we also used $3.4 million of cash for post-transaction closing adjustments related to the BROSCO acquisition.

Excluding potential acquisitions, we expect capital expenditures in 2025 to total approximately $220 million to $240 million. We expect our capital spending in 2025 will be for business improvement and quality/efficiency projects, replacement and expansion projects, and ongoing environmental compliance. Our 2025 capital expenditures range includes additional spending on the multi-year investments at our Thorsby EWP mill and Oakdale veneer and plywood mills, as well as our greenfield distribution centers in Texas and South Carolina. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as

a result of several factors, including acquisitions, efforts to further accelerate organic growth, exercise of lease purchase options, our financial results, future economic conditions, availability of engineering and construction resources, and timing and availability of equipment purchases.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our financing activities used $70.8 million of cash, including $53.9 million for the repurchase of 482,700 shares of our common stock, $10.5 million in common stock dividend payments, and $5.9 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not borrow under our revolving credit facility and therefore have no borrowings outstanding on the facility as of March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our financing activities used $49.6 million of cash, including $27.0 million for the repurchase of 205,938 shares of our common stock, $11.2 million in common stock dividend payments, and $11.0 million of tax withholding payments on stock-based awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not borrow under our revolving credit facility.

We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors. 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. We typically report lower sales volumes in the first and fourth quarters due to the impact of poor weather on the construction market, and we generally have higher sales volumes in the second and third quarters, reflecting an increase in construction due to more favorable weather conditions. We typically have higher working capital in the first and second quarters in preparation and response to the building season. Seasonally cold weather increases costs, especially energy consumption costs, at most of our manufacturing facilities.

Employees

As of April 27, 2025, we had approximately 7,670 employees. Approximately 17% of these employees work pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. As of April 27, 2025, we had ten collective bargaining agreements. One agreement covering approximately 40 employees at our Vancouver BMD facility expired on December 31, 2024 and one agreement covering approximately 20 employees at our Billings BMD facility expired on March 31, 2025. The terms and conditions of these agreements remain in effect pending negotiation of new agreements. In addition, two agreements covering approximately 750 employees at our Oakdale and Florien plywood plants are set to expire on July 15, 2025. The terms and conditions of these agreements will remain in effect after expiration pending negotiation of new agreements. We may not be able to renew these agreements or may renew them on terms that are less favorable to us than the current agreements. If any of these agreements are not renewed or extended upon their termination, 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 March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to financial market risks disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Environmental

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to environmental issues disclosed in our 2024 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 2024 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 2024 Form 10-K. At March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2024 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

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 2024 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

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 March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
