Weyerhaeuser reports first quarter results

Earnings from continuing operations more than doubled compared with fourth quarter
Adjusted EBITDA increased 14%
Achieved $125 million merger cost synergy target

SEATTLE (April 28, 2017) - Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported first quarter net earnings to common shareholders of $157 million, or 21 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion. This compares with earnings from continuing operations of $61 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.4 billion for the same period last year.

Excluding an after-tax special item of $10 million for merger-related costs, the company reported net earnings of $167 million, or 22 cents per diluted share for the first quarter. This compares with net earnings from continuing operations before special items of $126 million for the same period last year and $106 million for fourth quarter 2016.

"I am very pleased with our first quarter performance, as our employees capitalized on operational excellence improvements, merger-related synergies and strengthening market conditions to deliver outstanding results," said Doyle R. Simons, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we achieved our increased $125 million run-rate merger cost synergy target. Looking forward, we remain relentlessly focused on leveraging merger synergies and operational improvements to drive industry leading performance and superior value for our shareholders."

(1) In first quarter 2016, Weyerhaeuser issued approximately 279 million shares in conjunction with the Plum Creek merger. During 2016, Weyerhaeuser repurchased approximately 68 million shares to complete our $2 billion accelerated repurchase commitment, part of the $2.5 billion repurchase authorization announced in conjunction with the merger transaction. In third quarter 2016, the company issued approximately 23 million shares as a result of the conversion of its mandatory convertible preference shares.
(2) Special items for first quarter 2017 include after-tax charges of $10 million for Plum Creek merger-related costs. Fourth quarter 2016 includes after-tax special charges of $24 million for a tax adjustment, $11 million for Plum Creek merger-related costs and non-cash charges of $9 million related to legacy real estate projects. First quarter 2016 after-tax special items include $98 million of Plum Creek merger related costs and a $22 million gain on the sale of the company's Federal Way headquarters campus.
(3) 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 of real estate sold, unallocated pension service costs 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.

1Q 2017 Performance - In the West, domestic and export sales realizations increased compared to the fourth quarter as wet weather limited domestic log supply and customer demand remained strong. Fee harvest volumes increased, and logging and road costs decreased as harvest activity shifted into lower elevation tracts. In the South, fee harvest volumes decreased and average sales realizations declined slightly due to a higher proportion of pulpwood sales. The Timberlands segment continued to benefit from merger-related operational synergies during the quarter.

2Q 2017 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Timberlands segment will be comparable to the second quarter of 2016. In the West, the company expects average sales realizations to increase slightly in the second quarter compared with the first quarter, more than offset by lower harvest volumes and higher logging, road and silviculture costs. In the South, the company anticipates seasonally higher silviculture costs compared with first quarter, partially offset by higher harvest volumes. Average log sales realizations in the South are anticipated to be roughly comparable to first quarter levels.

1Q 2017 Performance - First quarter Real Estate sales decreased seasonally compared with the fourth quarter. Earnings before special items were comparable due to a lower average land basis on the mix of properties sold. Energy & Natural Resources earnings and Adjusted EBITDA were similar to the fourth quarter.
2Q 2017 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Real Estate, Energy & Natural Resources segment will be comparable to the first quarter. We continue to expect full year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA for the segment will exceed $250 million.

1Q 2017 Performance - Average realizations for lumber and oriented strand board increased compared with the fourth quarter, and sales volume rose across all product lines due to seasonally improved demand. Operating rates increased significantly as a result of reduced downtime for maintenance and capital projects. Per unit manufacturing costs decreased across all product lines due to strong mill performance and ongoing operational excellence initiatives.
2Q 2017 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly higher earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from the Wood Products segment in the second quarter compared with the first quarter. The company expects higher average sales realizations for lumber, oriented strand board and engineered wood products as well as increased sales volumes.

*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 of real estate sold, unallocated pension service costs 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.

(1) First quarter 2016 includes equity earnings from our Timberland Venture, which effective August 31, 2016, is consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
(2) During Q1 2017 we have adopted ASU 2017-07. This ASU requires us to show components of pension and other post retirement benefit costs (interest, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains or losses, amortization of prior service credits or costs) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a line item outside of "Operating income." We reclassified these components for all periods shown above.
