Weyerhaeuser Reports First Quarter Results

Merged with Plum Creek on February 19, 2016
Net earnings before special items increased 24 percent compared with fourth quarter 2015
Repurchased $863 million, or 31 million shares, at an average price of $27.49 in the quarter

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (May 6, 2016) - Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported first quarter net earnings to common shareholders of $70 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion. This compares with net earnings of $90 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion for the same period last year.

Excluding after-tax charges of $80 million for special items, the company reported net earnings of $150 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the first quarter. This compares with net earnings before special items of $99 million for the same period last year and $121 million for fourth quarter 2015.

Special items for the first quarter of 2016 are primarily comprised of $98 million of after-tax merger related costs, partially offset by a $22 million after-tax gain on the sale of the company's Federal Way headquarters campus.

“I am extremely proud of the work of our employees in the first quarter, as we closed the Plum Creek merger, delivered solid operating performance across each of our businesses, and completed about 35 percent of our $2.5 billion share repurchase authorization,” said Doyle R. Simons, president and CEO. “These accomplishments, and the recently announced sale of our pulp mills to International Paper, illustrate our commitment to a focused portfolio, industry-leading performance and disciplined capital allocation. We are making solid progress on merger integration and synergies, and look forward to building on that strong foundation as we work together to be the world’s premier timber, land, and forest products company and drive exceptional value for shareholders."

WEYERHAEUSER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(1) 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, basis in real estate sold, pension and postretirement costs not allocated to business segments and special items. Adjusted EBITDA excludes results from joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP earnings is included within this release.
(2) In the first quarter of 2016, Weyerhaeuser issued approximately 279 million shares in conjunction with the Plum Creek merger transaction. Following the completion of the merger, Weyerhaeuser repurchased approximately 31 million shares under the $2.5 billion repurchase program announced in conjunction with the merger transaction. At the end of the first quarter of 2016, the company had approximately 759 million common shares outstanding.
(3) After-tax special items for first quarter 2016 include $98 million of Plum Creek merger related costs, a $22 million gain on the sale of the company’s Federal Way headquarters campus, and $4 million of restructuring charges. Special items for fourth quarter 2015 include a non-cash charge for Weyerhaeuser's share of an asset impairment by the newsprint and publishing papers venture, Plum Creek merger related costs, a benefit from the expiration of the company's built-in gains tax period, and restructuring charges related to closing four distribution centers. Special items for the first quarter 2015 include a non-cash charge for impairment on a nonstrategic asset.

TIMBERLANDS

The Timberlands segment includes sales of logs, stumpage and pay-as-cut timber, recreational lease revenue, and our operations in Uruguay. Sales of higher and better use properties, non-core timberlands and royalties related to minerals and oil and gas assets are now reported as part of the Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment. Western Timberlands includes timberland operations in Washington and Oregon. Southern Timberlands includes timberland operations for all Southern states. Northern Timberlands includes timberland operations in Montana, the Lake States, New England and West Virginia.

1Q 2016 Performance - Western fee harvest increased due to higher volume from legacy Weyerhaeuser Timberlands and a partial quarter of Plum Creek harvest. Average Western log realizations declined slightly due to mix as a result of a higher proportion of domestic log sales.

In the South, fee harvest volumes increased as a partial quarter of Plum Creek harvest more than offset seasonally lower harvest volumes from legacy Weyerhaeuser lands, and silviculture expense declined due to wet weather. These factors were partially offset by lower average realizations for Southern logs due to a higher mix of pulpwood from Plum Creek operations. Average realizations for legacy Weyerhaeuser Southern logs were comparable to the fourth quarter.







2Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates comparable earnings and higher Adjusted EBITDA from the Timberlands segment in the second quarter. Higher fee harvest volumes from a full quarter of Plum Creek operations will be offset by seasonally higher Southern silviculture costs, higher Western logging expenses and slightly lower average realizations for Western and Southern logs, primarily due to mix. Non-cash depletion and amortization charges will also be higher due to the increased basis associated with the acquisition accounting.

REAL ESTATE, ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOUCES

The Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources Segment includes sales of higher and better use properties, non-core timberlands, and royalties related to minerals and oil and gas assets. These results were formerly reported in Weyerhaeuser’s Timberlands segment. The segment also includes the results from equity interest in Plum Creek Real Estate development joint ventures.

1Q 2016 Performance - Seasonally lower legacy Weyerhaeuser Real Estate sales and lower oil and gas royalties were partially offset by earnings from Plum Creek operations. Adjusted EBITDA improved slightly in the first quarter. The basis of Plum Creek Real Estate properties sold during the quarter approximated sales price as the land was marked to fair value as part of the merger's acquisition accounting.

2Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects comparable earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment in the second quarter.
WOOD PRODUCTS
The Wood Products segment includes sales of softwood lumber, engineered wood products, oriented strand board, plywood, medium density fiberboard and building materials distribution.

1Q 2016 Performance - Operating rates increased and unit manufacturing costs improved across most product lines in the quarter. Higher sales realizations for lumber were partially offset by slightly lower sales realizations for oriented strand board.
2Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly higher earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Wood Products segment in the second quarter primarily due to higher sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board.






CELLULOSE FIBERS

1Q 2016 Performance - Average sales realizations declined and pulp sales volumes decreased slightly. Maintenance costs rose due to additional scheduled outage days compared to the fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter special items included a non-cash charge for Weyerhaeuser's share of an asset impairment recorded by the newsprint and publishing papers venture.
2Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects higher earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the second quarter. The company anticipates higher average sales realizations due to mix and slightly lower fiber and energy costs.

STRATEGIC REVIEW OF CELLULOSE FIBERS
On May 2, 2016, Weyerhaeuser announced an agreement to sell its Cellulose Fibers pulp mills to International Paper for $2.2 billion in cash. This announcement completes the first phase of the company’s strategic review of the Cellulose Fibers business. The transaction with International Paper does not include Weyerhaeuser's liquid packaging board facility or newsprint and publishing papers venture. The company's review of those assets is ongoing. Weyerhaeuser expects to use a substantial portion of the estimated $1.6 billion after-tax proceeds for repayment of term loans issued in conjunction with the company's previously announced $2.5 billion share repurchase program.

*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we have revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to add back the basis of real estate sold. We have revised our prior-period presentation to conform to our current reporting.
Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold, pension and postretirement costs not allocated to business segments and special items. Adjusted EBITDA excludes results from joint ventures.
Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our GAAP results.
