In third quarter 2015, total and single-family U.S. housing starts increased approximately 13% and 15%, respectively, from the same period last year. The October 2015 Blue Chip consensus forecast for 2015 reflects 1.13 million total U.S. housing starts, a 13% expected increase from 2014 levels. At that level, total housing starts would remain below the historical average for the last 20 years of approximately 1.3 million starts per year.
"Both of our businesses delivered good volume growth in our key product lines during the quarter, but weak commodity prices constrained our top-line revenue growth. Despite the product pricing headwinds, Building Materials Distribution performed well and delivered its best quarter since 2006. In Wood Products, double digit declines in plywood and lumber prices overshadowed our improved operating performance in the quarter. As we start the fourth quarter, we continue to believe the underlying demand for new residential construction will show modest annual improvement in 2015 and 2016 and we remain confident we are well positioned to take advantage of market opportunities," stated Tom Corrick, CEO.
Wood Products
Sales, including sales to BMD, decreased $15.1 million, or 4%, to $340.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $355.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in sales was driven primarily by decreases in plywood and lumber sales prices of 16% and 13%, respectively. These decreases were offset partially by increases in sales volumes of plywood and LVL of 4% and 5%, respectively. Sales prices of LVL and I-joists, as well as I-joists sales volumes, were relatively flat compared with the same period in the prior year.
Wood Products EBITDA decreased $18.4 million to $32.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decline in EBITDA was due primarily to lower plywood and lumber sales prices.
Building Materials Distribution
Sales increased $25.6 million, or 3%, to $799.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $773.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall increase in sales was driven by sales volume increases of 8%, offset partially by a decrease in sales prices of 5%. By product line, commodity sales decreased 2%, general line product sales increased 8%, and sales of engineered wood products (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) increased 7%.
BMD EBITDA increased $2.3 million to $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $23.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by a higher gross margin of $3.1 million, offset partially by increased selling and distribution expenses of $1.1 million.
Corporate and Other
Segment EBITDA was negative $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with negative $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The change was due primarily to lower incentive compensation.
Balance Sheet
Boise Cascade ended the third quarter with $212.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $292.7 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $505.5 million. The Company reported $351.3 million of outstanding debt at September 30, 2015.
Outlook
We expect to experience seasonally slower demand in the fourth quarter of 2015. On an annual basis, housing starts in the U.S. continue to show modest improvement and we remain optimistic that the improvement in demand for our products will continue through 2016, but at forecasted levels below the 20-year historical average. We expect to manage our production levels to our sales demand, which will likely result in operating some of our facilities below their capacity until demand improves further. Composite structural panel and lumber prices have been historically volatile and are well below prior year levels as we begin the fourth quarter. Future commodity product pricing could be volatile in response to industry capacity restarts and operating rates, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns.

Basis of Presentation
We refer to the term EBITDA in this earnings release as a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is not required by or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). We define EBITDA as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and our Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our management and because it is frequently used by investors and other interested parties when comparing companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We believe EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it presents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of EBITDA instead of net income or segment income has limitations as an analytical tool, including the inability to determine profitability; the exclusion of interest expense, interest income, and associated significant cash requirements; and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent unavoidable operating costs. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results. Our measure of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.

(b) Prior to first quarter 2015, pension expense (which is primarily comprised of interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of actuarial losses) was recorded in each of our segments based on the associated individual employee roles and responsibilities. However, pension benefits are frozen for most employees and only a small number of hourly employees continue to accrue benefits. Therefore, management believes that recording pension expense in the Corporate and Other segment provides a clearer view of segment operating performance. In first quarter 2015, we made a change in our segment measurement method by recording all pension expense to the Corporate and Other segment. This change in measurement only impacts our segment disclosures, and thus it has no impact on our overall consolidated financial statements. Historical segment income (loss) and EBITDA have not been recast. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of pension expense was recorded in each of the Wood Products and Building Materials Distribution segments. Pension expense recorded in Corporate and Other was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with less than $0.1 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. We recorded an insignificant amount of pension income in the three months ended September 30, 2015.
