We may refer to assumptions, goals, targets, or expected performance through, or events to occur by or at, a future date, and such references may also constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions. The realization of our expectations and the accuracy of our assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and often are beyond the company’s control. These and other factors could cause one or more of our expectations to be unmet, one or more of our assumptions to be materially inaccurate or actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements or all of the foregoing. Such uncertainties and other factors include without limitation: the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, interest rate levels, housing starts, general availability of financing for home mortgages and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar; the effects of COVID-19 and other viral or disease outbreaks and their potential impacts on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and future prospects; market demand for the company's products, including market demand for our timberland properties with higher and better uses, which is related to, among other factors, the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions; changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, and the Canadian dollar, and the relative value of the euro to the yen; restrictions on international trade and tariffs imposed on imports or exports; the availability and cost of shipping and transportation; economic activity in Asia, especially Japan and China; performance of our manufacturing operations, including maintenance and capital requirements; potential disruptions in our manufacturing operations; the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers; the success of our operational excellence initiatives; the successful and timely execution of our strategic acquisitions strategy, including the successful integration of our acquisitions and our ability to realize expected benefits and synergies, and the successful and timely execution of our strategic divestitures, each of which could be subject to a number of risks and conditions beyond our control including, but not limited to, the availability of acquisition opportunities and market demand for our divestiture properties, timing, required regulatory approvals or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a termination event under the terms of the governing transaction agreements; raw material availability and prices; the effect of weather; changes in global or regional climate conditions, including legal, governmental or market responses to any such changes or the anticipation of such changes; the risk of loss from fires, floods, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestation and other natural disasters; energy prices; availability and costs for transportation and labor; federal tax policies; the effect of forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations; legal proceedings; the performance of pension fund investments and related derivatives; the effect of timing of employee retirements and changes in the market price of our common stock on charges for share-based compensation; the accuracy of our estimates of costs and expenses related to contingent liabilities and charges related to casualty losses; changes in accounting principles; and other risks and uncertainties identified in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those set forth from time to time in our other public statements and reports, including reports, registration statements, prospectuses, information statements and other filings with the SEC. It is not possible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties that might affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and, consequently, our descriptions of such risks and uncertainties should not be considered exhaustive. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur, and if any of the events do occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on the company's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and future prospects.

OUR COMPANY VISION
(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 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. (2) Net earnings for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 include net charges of $52 million, $122 million, $354 million and $285 million, respectively, of after-tax non-operating special items which are reported in non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs, interest income and other, interest expense, net, and income taxes. ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION Total Company

(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 adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results. We have not provided a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA related to the recent acquisitions and divestitures for our Timberlands segment or forecasted Adjusted EBITDA related to Natural Climate Solutions to the most comparable GAAP measure because Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of certain items described in the definition above and management cannot estimate the impact these items will have on Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort. We believe that the probable significance of providing these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures without a reconciliation to operating income is that investors and analysts will have certain information that we believe is useful and meaningful regarding our acquisitions and divestitures and Natural Climate Solutions business, but they will not have that information on a GAAP basis. As a result, investors and analysts may be unable to accurately compare the expected impact to our historical results or the results or expected results of other companies that may have treated such matters differently. Management believes that, given the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, investors and analysts will be able to understand and appropriately take into account the limitations in the information we have provided. Investors are cautioned that we cannot predict the occurrence, timing or amount of all non-GAAP items that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the actual effect of these items, when determined, could potentially be significant to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA over the medium-term.
