ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On February 5, 2016, Weyerhaeuser Company ("Weyerhaeuser" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Copies of the press release and the exhibits thereto are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
As of December 31, 2015, Weyerhaeuser Company held a 50 percent ownership interest in a joint venture. The Company’s share of net earnings related to this joint venture are included within "Earnings (loss) from equity affiliates" in Weyerhaeuser’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period in which earnings are recorded by the affiliate. The results are reported in the Company’s Cellulose Fibers segment. 
In connection with the preparation of fourth quarter 2015 financial statements, it was determined that the joint venture’s book value of certain long-lived assets was not recoverable and an impairment charge was recorded to measure these assets at fair value. The fair value of the asset group was estimated based on a combination of income and market approaches using significant unobservable inputs. Key assumptions included (a) the timing and amounts of future cash flows related to the asset group’s operations, (b) discount rates applicable to the future cash flows and (c) earnings multiples of other entities’ asset groups deemed to be similar to the asset group.  Weyerhaeuser’s earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 include an $84 million charge for the Company’s share of this asset impairment. Weyerhaeuser also recorded a related tax benefit of $28 million in its provision for income taxes as a result of the reduction of deferred tax liabilities associated with the reduction in the book basis of the investment in this equity affiliate. Consequently, the net charge to Weyerhaeuser related to this impairment was $56 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the full year 2015, Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $462 million, or 89 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $7.1 billion.

“2015 was a milestone year for Weyerhaeuser, as we announced a transformational merger that will create the world’s premier timber, land and forest products company,” said Doyle R. Simons, president and chief executive officer. “At the same time, we maintained our relentless focus on improving our relative performance and delivered on our 2015 operational excellence targets. Finally, we fulfilled our commitment to return cash to shareholders through a 7 percent dividend increase and the repurchase of over $500 million of common shares. Looking forward to 2016, completion of our merger with Plum Creek, the strategic review of our Cellulose Fibers business, and our continued focus on operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation will position us to drive value for our shareholders.”

4Q 2015 Performance - In the West, fee harvest volumes increased and average log sales realizations improved. In the South, fee harvest volumes decreased as a result of wet weather and average log sales realizations declined due to mix, mostly offset by lower costs. Earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands increased by $6 million compared with the third quarter.
1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects comparable earnings from the Timberlands segment in the first quarter. In the West, the company expects higher log sales volumes and average realizations. In the South, the company anticipates seasonally lower fee harvest volumes and slightly decreased average log sales realizations due to mix.

Operating rates decreased, primarily due to downtime for planned maintenance in engineered wood products and oriented strand board and installation of capital projects in lumber.
Special items for the fourth quarter include restructuring charges related to the closure of four distribution centers.
1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects higher earnings from the Wood Products segment in the first quarter. The company expects moderately higher average sales realizations for lumber and increased production volumes across all product lines.

1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly lower earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the first quarter.

*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, pension and postretirement costs not allocated to business segments (primarily interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial loss and amortization of prior service cost/credit), special items and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our GAAP results.
