NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we,” “the company” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. These quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are principally engaged in growing and harvesting timber; manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees; maximizing the value of every acre we own through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties; and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties. Our business segments are categorized based primarily on products and services which include:

● Timberlands – Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products;

● Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) – Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas, and wind and solar resources) and

● Wood Products – Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution.

A reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:

	QUARTER ENDED

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

● $0.91 during first quarter 2021 and

● $0.20 during first quarter 2020.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

	QUARTER ENDED
SHARES IN THOUSANDS	MARCH 2021		MARCH 2020
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		748,718		746,534
Dilutive potential common shares:

Restricted stock units		738		283
Performance share units		351		—
Total effect of outstanding dilutive potential common shares		1,306		621
Weighted average common shares outstanding – dilutive		750,024		747,155

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units.

Potential Shares Not Included in the Computation of Diluted Earnings per Share

The following shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were either antidilutive or the required performance or market conditions were not met. Some or all of these shares may be dilutive potential common shares in future periods.

	QUARTER ENDED
SHARES IN THOUSANDS	MARCH 2021		MARCH 2020
Stock options		147		2,292
Performance share units		1,115		1,390

NOTE 5: INVENTORIES

Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, as well as materials and supplies.

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 31, 2021		DECEMBER 31, 2020
LIFO inventories:
Logs	$	20	$	24
Lumber, plywood, panels and fiberboard		80		59
Other products		8		9
Moving average cost or FIFO inventories:
Logs		92		64
Lumber, plywood, panels, fiberboard and engineered wood products		90		84
Other products		106		100
Materials and supplies		109		103
Total	$	505	$	443

LIFO – the last-in, first-out method – applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. locations. The moving average cost method or FIFO – the first-in, first-out method – applies to the balance of our U.S. raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories.

NOTE 6: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic timberlands. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and monetization variable interest entities, or special purpose entities (SPEs), were formed. We were the primary beneficiary and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions.

The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs were financial investments which consisted of bank guarantees. These bank guarantees were in turn backed by bank notes, which were the liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs was used to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization SPE’s note.

During first quarter 2020, we received $362 million in proceeds from our final buyer-sponsored SPE at maturity. The corresponding $302 million in liabilities of this SPE was paid in third quarter 2019.

NOTE 7: PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The components of net periodic benefit cost are:

	PENSION
	QUARTER ENDED

Amortization of actuarial loss		2			1
Amortization of prior service credit		(1	)		—
Total net periodic benefit cost - other post-employment benefits	$	2		$	2

For the periods presented, service cost is included in “Costs of sales,” “Selling expenses,” and “General and administrative expenses” with the remaining components included in “Non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 8: ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 31, 2021		DECEMBER 31, 2020
Compensation and employee benefit costs	$	150	$	204
Current portion of lease liabilities		23		26
Customer rebates, volume discounts and deferred income		84		111
Interest		84		87
Taxes payable		115		75
Other		93		93
Total	$	549	$	596

NOTE 9: LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2020, we issued $750 million of 4.00 percent notes due in April 2030. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $732 million.

In January 2020, we refinanced and extended our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2025. Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending banks. We had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

10

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values and carrying values of our long-term debt and line of credit consisted of the following:

	MARCH 31, 2021				DECEMBER 31, 2020
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)		CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)
Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit:
Fixed rate	$	5,250	$	6,413	$	5,250	$	6,718
Variable rate		225		225		225		225
Total debt	$	5,475	$	6,638	$	5,475	$	6,943

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts, and receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 11: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Environmental Matters

Site Remediation

Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – commonly known as the “Superfund” – and similar state laws, we:

● are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and

● have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated.

As of March 31, 2021, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $58 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

11

NOTE 12: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Changes in amounts included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss by component are:

NOTE 13: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation activity during first quarter 2021 included the following:

SHARES IN THOUSANDS	GRANTED		VESTED
Restricted stock units (RSUs)		736		723
Performance share units (PSUs)		354		229

A total of 1.4 million shares of common stock were issued as a result of RSU vestings, PSU vestings and stock option exercises.

Restricted Stock Units

The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2021 was $34.19. The vesting provisions for RSUs granted in 2021 were consistent with prior year grants.

Performance Share Units

The weighted average grant date fair value of PSUs granted in 2021 was $38.50.

NOTE 14: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145,000 acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington for $266 million in cash. This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in third quarter 2021.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021.

Montana Divestiture

On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale.

The divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

NOTE 15: OTHER OPERATING COSTS, NET

Other operating costs, net were comprised of the following:

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings.

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:

● Sales realizations for Timberlands and Wood Products refer to net selling prices. This includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. Real Estate transactions are presented at the contract sales price before commissions and closing costs, net of any credits.

● Net contribution (charge) to earnings does not include interest expense or income taxes.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS

Overview

In March 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, and a national emergency was declared by the United States. States and municipalities subsequently began to issue shelter-in-place orders and similar mandates requiring those not engaged in essential activities to remain home. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated the forest products industry as an "essential critical infrastructure workforce," which recognizes the importance of timber and wood products operations in supporting critical infrastructure and construction projects and the manufacture of important personal hygiene items. In response to the pandemic, we took proactive steps to safeguard the health of our employees. These actions included detailed cleaning and disinfecting procedures, strict processes around social distancing and personal hygiene, clear communication with our employees, contractors, vendors and visitors about our safety protocols, comprehensive guidance for response to any COVID-19 diagnoses or exposures in our operations, suspension of all air travel and non-essential meetings, and a directive that employees work from home if feasible.

The immediate economic effects of the pandemic were severe, as U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) declined 31 percent in the second quarter of 2020 and the national unemployment rate soared to a record-high of nearly 15 percent in April driven by the restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic. However, the unemployment rate has steadily fallen from that point forward, and U.S. GDP rebounded significantly over the second half of 2020 as states reopened their economies and loosened restrictions. Market conditions across our businesses deteriorated rapidly in late first quarter and early second quarter 2020 but quickly rebounded as demand for housing and wood products proved resilient. Growth in repair and remodel demand and new residential construction activity resulted in demand for wood products that significantly outpaced available supply, and benchmark pricing for our commodity wood products reached record levels. After declining briefly in the final months of 2020, benchmark prices for our commodity wood products have risen sharply during the first quarter of 2021 beyond the record levels established in the prior year. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2021, our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy will continue to be influenced by the trajectory of U.S. housing activity, COVID-19 infections and pace of vaccinations and the nature and extent of future government stimulus including the proposed infrastructure bill.

Business Outlook

The demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market, especially new residential construction, strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as does repair and remodeling activity. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., which in turn affects demand for our logs and wood products. In first quarter 2021, winter weather activity in the U.S. South caused a temporary disruption in production and sales volumes for wood products and logs. Our Timberlands segment, specifically the Western region, is also affected by export demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the production of pulp, paper and oriented strand board as well as the demand for biofuels, such as pellets made from pulpwood. The Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity is contributing to some tightening in the South.

On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for first quarter 2021 averaged 1.61 million units, which was 2 percent above fourth quarter 2020. Single family starts averaged 1.16 million units, a 6 percent decline from fourth quarter 2020 and a 19 percent improvement over first quarter 2020. Multi-family starts averaged 458 thousand units in first quarter 2021, which was 28 percent higher than fourth quarter 2020 and 11 percent lower than first quarter 2020. Sales of newly built, single family homes have been robust averaging a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 959 thousand units for the first quarter of 2021, a 4 percent increase from the prior quarter average of 924 thousand units and a 37 percent increase from the first quarter 2020 average of 701 thousand units.

In repair and remodel markets, stay at home behavior has continued to bolster do-it-yourself activity, contributing to increased sales at building supply stores and overall repair and remodeling demand. This activity is now transitioning to larger projects, supported by increased home buying activity and overall household savings. According to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report, building material and garden supply store sales increased 8 percent in first quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020, evidencing the continued strength of the repair and remodeling market.

In U.S. wood product markets, demand for commodity products increased sharply during the first quarter, and benchmark pricing for lumber and oriented strand board reached record highs as demand continued to outpace production capacity. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $978/MBF for the first quarter 2021, a 41 percent increase from the fourth quarter 2020 average. The Oriented Strand Board Composite indicator price also increased significantly, averaging $904/MSF for the first quarter 2021, a 30 percent increase from the fourth quarter 2020 average.

In Western log markets, Douglas fir sawlog prices increased 4 percent in first quarter 2021 compared with fourth quarter 2020 as reported by RISI Log Lines. In the South, sawlog prices increased by 3 percent from fourth quarter 2020 as reported by TimberMart-South.

Exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During first quarter 2021, disruptions in shipping, diversion of European log and lumber supply to other markets, and curtailments on Australian log imports to China provided a favorable environment for log export demand. In Japan, total housing starts declined 3 percent year to date through February compared to the same period in 2020, while the key

15

Post and Beam segment saw a 2 percent increase. Decreased lumber imports from Europe to Japan were favorable to our Japanese log export business.

Comparing First Quarter 2021 with First Quarter 2020

Net sales

Net sales increased $778 million – 45 percent – primarily due to a $786 million increase in Wood Products sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to increased sales realizations across most product lines.

This increase was partially offset by a $6 million decrease in Real Estate & ENR net sales to unaffiliated customers primarily due to decreased real estate acres sold.

Costs of sales

Costs of sales increased $48 million – 3 percent – primarily due to increased complementary building product sales and increased cost of commodity products within our Wood Products segment. This increase was partially offset by decreased real estate acres sold within our Real Estate & ENR segment. 

Operating income

Operating income increased $716 million – 298 percent – primarily due to a $730 million increase in consolidated gross margin (see discussion of components above).

This increase was partially offset by a $16 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to an increase in liability classified share-based compensation (refer to Unallocated Items).

Net earnings

Net earnings increased $531 million – 354 percent – primarily due to the $730 million increase in operating income discussed above.

This increase was partially offset by a $192 million increase in income tax expense (refer to Income Taxes).

The volume of real estate sales is a function of many factors, including the general state of the economy, demand in local real estate markets, the ability of buyers to obtain financing, the number of competing properties listed for sale, the seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the northern states), the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectation of future price appreciation, the timing of harvesting activities, and the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. In any period, the average sales price per acre will vary based on the location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.

Comparing First Quarter 2021 with First Quarter 2020

Net sales

Net sales decreased $6 million – 5 percent – primarily due to decreased real estate acres sold, partially offset by an increase in the average price per acre sold.

Net charge to earnings increased $22 million – 51 percent – primarily due to:

● a $12 million legal benefit recognized in first quarter 2020 and

● an $11 million increase in expense related to liability classified share-based compensation due to an increase in our stock price for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to a decrease for the same period in 2020.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:

● $79 million for first quarter 2021 and

● $85 million for first quarter 2020.

Interest expense decreased by $6 million primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding debt in first quarter 2021 compared to first quarter 2020.

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes was:

● a $189 million expense for first quarter 2021 and

● a $3 million benefit for first quarter 2020.

Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs). Income tax expense increased by $192 million compared to first quarter 2020 primarily due to an increase in our TRS earnings in first quarter 2021.

Refer to Note 16: Income Taxes for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of March 31, 2021, we had over $1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in January 2025. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

Consolidated net cash from operations was:

● $698 million for first quarter 2021 and

● $86 million for first quarter 2020.

Net cash from operations increased $612 million, primarily due to:

● increased cash inflows from our business segments and

● decreased cash used for interest payments.

These changes were partially offset by a $66 million increase in cash paid for income taxes.

CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:

● $(53) million for first quarter 2021 and

● $441 million for first quarter 2020.

Net cash from investing activities decreased $494 million, primarily due to:

● a $362 million decrease in proceeds received from variable interest entities and

● a $145 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of timberlands.

These decreases were partially offset by a $15 million decrease in cash used for capital expenditures.

Wood Products		25		38
Total	$	53	$	68

We expect our capital expenditures for 2021 will be approximately $420 million. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change.

CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated net cash from financing activities was:

● $(124) million for first quarter 2021 and

● $792 million for first quarter 2020.

Net cash from financing activities decreased $916 million, primarily due to:

● a $732 million decrease in net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and

● a $320 million decrease in net cash received related to borrowings on our line of credit.

These decreases were partially offset by a $127 million decrease in cash paid for dividends.

Line of Credit

We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. This credit facility expires in January 2025.

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

Long-Term Debt

In March 2020, we issued $750 million of 4.00 percent notes due in April 2030. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $732 million.

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

Our revolving credit agreement and our term loan agreement utilize the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a basis for one of the interest rate options available to the company to apply to outstanding borrowings. Publication of USD LIBOR is expected to cease between January 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, and we are closely monitoring ongoing market developments in the identification or creation of a widely accepted replacement rate. We have included provisions in our revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement that specifically contemplate the transition from LIBOR to a replacement benchmark rate.

22

As of March 31, 2021, of our $5.5 billion of long-term debt, only $225 million in term loan borrowings are governed by a debt agreement that utilizes LIBOR as one of the alternative applicable rates. We therefore do not believe that the discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our debt agreements will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or materially affect our interest expense.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2021, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our existing long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.

Option Exercises

We received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of:

● $17 million for first quarter 2021 and

● $6 million for first quarter 2020.

Our average stock price was $34.05 and $26.30 for first quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Dividend Payments

We paid cash dividends on common shares of:

● $127 million for first quarter 2021 and

● $254 million for first quarter 2020.

This decrease in dividends paid is due to a decrease in dividends paid per common share from $0.34 to $0.17 as part of the new dividend framework discussed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share Repurchases

We did not repurchase shares during first quarter 2021 or first quarter 2020. There were no unsettled repurchases as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company and our business segments. This measure should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitates period to period comparisons and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items.

	QUARTER ENDED						AMOUNT OF CHANGE
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2021			MARCH 2020			2021 VS. 2020
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment:
Timberlands	$	172		$	173		$	(1	)

Wood Products		889			184			705

Unallocated Items		(56	)		(45	)		(11	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,101		$	413		$	688

23

We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings for the consolidated company and to operating income (loss) for the business segments, as those are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for each.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2021:

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	Timberlands		Real Estate & ENR		Wood Products		Unallocated Items			Total

(1) Operating income (loss) includes a pretax special item consisting of a $12 million noncash legal benefit within Unallocated Items.

Net Earnings and Net Earnings per Diluted Share Before Special Items

We use net earnings before special items and net earnings per diluted share before special items as key performance measures to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company. These measures should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitate period to period comparisons and are widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes during first quarter 2021 to the critical accounting policies presented in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS OBLIGATIONS

The following summary of our long-term indebtedness obligations includes:

● scheduled principal repayments for the next five years and after;

● weighted average interest rates for debt maturing in each of the next five years and after and

● estimated fair values of outstanding obligations.

We estimate the fair value of our debt instruments using quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt or on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021, based on an evaluation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of that date.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

No changes occurred in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during first quarter 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Note 11: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental provisions if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. In accordance with these regulations, the company uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required pursuant to this item.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

● $0.91 during first quarter 2021 and

● $0.20 during first quarter 2020.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

NOTE 6: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic timberlands. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and monetization variable interest entities, or special purpose entities (SPEs), were formed. We were the primary beneficiary and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions.

The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs were financial investments which consisted of bank guarantees. These bank guarantees were in turn backed by bank notes, which were the liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs was used to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization SPE’s note.

During first quarter 2020, we received $362 million in proceeds from our final buyer-sponsored SPE at maturity. The corresponding $302 million in liabilities of this SPE was paid in third quarter 2019.

Fair Value Assets And Liabilities Measured On Recurring And Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values and carrying values of our long-term debt and line of credit consisted of the following:

	MARCH 31, 2021				DECEMBER 31, 2020
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)		CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)
Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit:
Fixed rate	$	5,250	$	6,413	$	5,250	$	6,718
Variable rate		225		225		225		225
Total debt	$	5,475	$	6,638	$	5,475	$	6,943

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts, and receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145,000 acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington for $266 million in cash. This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in third quarter 2021.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021.

Montana Divestiture

On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale.

The divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings.

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.
