Boise Cascade Corp. reported third quarter net income of $27.4 million before non-routine items, compared with $49.0 million in the third quarter of 1999.
Including a pretax gain of $96.1 million primarily from the sale of our European office products distribution operations, third-quarter net income was $84.6 million. Second quarter 2000 net income was $31.0 million.
Sales in third quarter 2000 increased 7% to more than $1.9 billion, compared with $1.8 billion in the third quarter a year ago. The sales increase was due primarily to growth in office products and building materials distribution and higher paper prices. Sales in second quarter 2000 were also $1.9 billion.
