Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General

PotlatchDeltic Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in this report as the company, us, we or our) is a leading timberland Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with operations in nine states. We are engaged in activities associated with timberland management, including the sale of timber, the ownership and management of over 2.1 million acres of timberlands and the purchase and sale of timberlands. We are also engaged in the manufacturing and sale of wood products and the development of real estate. Our timberlands, real estate development projects and all of our wood products facilities are located within the continental United States. The primary market for our products is the United States. We converted to a REIT effective January 1, 2006.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition and 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2024. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and requires judgments affecting the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

Commitments and Contingencies

At any given time, we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to our obligation under the Thomson Reservoir Project. At June 30, 2024, we have $2.2 million accrued for our estimated remaining contribution to the project, all of which is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For further information on the project, refer to Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2024, including the required retrospective application for all periods presented in the financial statements, will be reflected in our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and interim financial statements beginning in 2025. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the company's financial statement disclosures.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the company's financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our operations are organized into three reportable segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Management activities in the Timberlands segment include planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Timberlands segment also generates revenues from non-timber resources such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts and carbon sequestration. The Wood Products segment manufactures and sells lumber and plywood. The Real Estate segment includes the sale of land holdings deemed non-strategic or identified as having higher and better use alternatives, a master planned community development and a country club.

Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of the valuation of inventories, which are reported using the average cost method for purposes of reporting segment results.

The following table presents our revenues by major product:

Management uses Adjusted EBITDDA to evaluate the operating performance and effectiveness of operating strategies of our segments and allocation of resources to them. EBITDDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

The following table summarizes information for each of the company’s reportable segments and includes a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to income (loss) before income taxes. Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For stock-based awards, the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the dilutive effect is computed as if the awards were exercised at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and assumes the related proceeds were used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Related proceeds include future compensation cost associated with the stock award.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were approximately 19,000 and 78,000 stock-based awards, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were approximately 34,000 and 68,000 stock-based awards, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock-based awards could be dilutive in future periods.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a Trading Plan), or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of repurchases will be determined according to, and subject to, the terms of a Trading Plan, and, subject to the terms of a Trading Plan, the 2022 Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 609,624 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $25.0 million under the 2022 Repurchase Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 8,761 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $0.4 million under the 2022 Repurchase Plan. At June 30, 2024, we had remaining authorization of $100.0 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Transaction costs are not counted against authorized funds.

We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date. We record a liability to account for repurchases that have not been cash settled. We retire shares upon repurchase. Any excess repurchase price over par is recorded in accumulated deficit.

Deferred revenue predominately relates to hunting and other access rights on our timberlands, payments received for lumber shipments where control of goods has not transferred, member-related activities at an owned country club and any post-close obligations for real estate sales. These deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the respective contract, which is typically twelve months or less, except for country club initiation fees which are recognized over the average life of club membership.

 

NOTE 5. DEBT

TERM LOANS

At June 30, 2024 our total outstanding principal on our long-term debt of $1.0 billion included $971.0 million of term loans under our Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender. Certain borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Agreement are at the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-indexed variable rates, plus a spread between 1.61% and 2.30%. We have entered into SOFR-indexed interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on these variable rate term loans. See Note: 6 Derivative Instruments for additional information. Approximately $175.7 million of our outstanding long-term debt was classified as current at June 30, 2024 on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including a $110.0 million term loan and a $65.7 million revenue bond that mature during 2024.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

On May 18, 2023, we entered into a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for loans based on SOFR instead of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, provides us the option to borrow based on a daily SOFR or term SOFR basis, and provides mechanics relating to the transition from the use of SOFR to a replacement benchmark rate upon the occurrence of certain transition events.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million revolving line of credit that matures February 14, 2027. As provided in the Amended Credit Agreement, borrowing capacity may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million. The revolving line of credit also includes a sublimit of $75.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit of $25.0 million for swing line loans. Usage under either or both sub facilities reduces availability under the revolving line of credit. We may utilize borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions and other general corporate expenditures. At June 30, 2024, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $0.6 million of our revolving line of credit was utilized for outstanding letters of credit.

We were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants at June 30, 2024.

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage certain cash flow and fair value risks. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a specific asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered cash flow hedges. All our cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged interest rate risk through the term of the hedges.

At June 30, 2024, we have interest rate swaps associated with $761.0 million of SOFR-indexed term loan debt. These cash flow hedges convert variable rates ranging from one-month SOFR plus 1.61% to 2.30%, to fixed rates ranging from 2.14% to 4.83% before patronage credits from lenders. At June 30, 2024, we also have $200.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges for expected future debt refinancings that require settlement on the stated maturity date.

The gross fair values of derivative instruments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $143.6 million and $129.1 million, respectively, all of which were classified in Other assets, non-current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments that mature within one year, as a whole, are classified as current.

Realized gains and losses on interest rate contracts consist of realized net cash received or paid and interest accruals on the interest rate swaps during the periods in addition to amortization of amounts out of other comprehensive income related to certain terminated hedges and adjustments to interest expense resulting from amortization of inception value of certain off-market designated hedges. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we amortized approximately $5.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of the off-market designated hedges which is included in Other, net within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Net cash received or paid is included within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At June 30, 2024, the amount of net gains expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is approximately $20.0 million. However, this expected amount to be reclassified into earnings is subject to volatility as the ultimate amount recognized in earnings is based on the SOFR rates at the time of net swap cash payments.

The carrying amount of long-term debt includes principal and unamortized discounts.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on third-party sources, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate forward curves.

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar debt issues or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price.

Table of Contents

 

The contract value of our company owned life insurance is based on the amount at which it could be redeemed and, accordingly, approximates fair value.

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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.

NOTE 8. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

We issue new shares of common stock to settle performance stock awards (PSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred compensation stock equivalent units. At June 30, 2024 approximately 1.5 million shares were available for future use under our long-term incentive plans.

Share-based compensation activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024 included the following:

Performance Share Awards

The weighted-average grant date fair value of PSAs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $52.92 per share. PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans have a three-year performance period and shares are issued at the end of the period if the performance measures are met. The number of shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the PSA, could range from 0% to 200%. PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans do not have voting rights unless and until shares are issued upon settlement. If shares are issued at the end of the performance measurement period, the recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of common stock at the date of settlement equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the shares earned had the recipients owned the shares during the three-year period. The share awards are not considered participating securities.

Restricted Stock Units

The weighted-average fair value of all RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $44.32 per share. The fair value of RSUs granted equaled our common share price on the date of grant factoring in any required post-vesting holding periods. The RSU awards granted accrue dividend equivalents based on dividends paid during the RSU vesting period. Recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of common stock at the date the vested RSUs are settled. Any forfeited RSUs will not receive dividends. The share awards are not considered participating securities.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income from investments in real estate, including our timberlands, that we distribute to our stockholders. We conduct certain activities through our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS) which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These activities are principally comprised of our wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income tax expense or benefit is primarily due to pre-tax book income or loss of the TRS, as well as permanent book versus tax differences and discrete items.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reduced our federal effected deferred blended state tax rate. This reduction was a result of changes in tax laws enacted in the second quarter of 2023 in certain states in which our TRSs operate. The effect of the change resulted in a $1.0 million reduction to our net deferred tax liability and an offsetting reduction to tax expense, all of which was recorded as a discrete item for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTE 10. LEASES

We lease certain equipment, office space and land. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often involve use of words such as anticipates, approximately, believe, can, continue, could, estimates, expects, future, intends, long-term, may, will, or similar words or terminology. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views regarding future events based on estimates and assumptions and are therefore subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. The realization of our expectations and the accuracy of our assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

the effect of general economic conditions in the U.S. and international economies, including employment rates, interest rate levels, discount rates, housing starts, and the general availability of financing for home mortgages;
availability of labor and developable land;
changes in the level of residential and commercial construction and remodeling activity;
changes in tariffs, quotas and trade agreements involving wood products;
changes in demand for our products and real estate;
changes in timber prices, harvest levels, and timberland values;
changes in silviculture, production and production capacity in the forest products industry;
competitive pricing pressures for our products;
disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain and/or operations and unanticipated manufacturing disruptions;
the effect of weather on our harvesting and manufacturing activities;
the risk of loss from fire at our facilities and on our timberland;
the impact of pandemic disease or other human health threats, floods, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestation, fungal disease, or other natural disasters;
changes in the cost or availability of shipping and transportation;
changes in principal expenses, continued elevated inflation and the extent to which such elevated inflation will continue and impact our principal expenses;
unforeseen environmental liabilities or expenditures;
changes in general and industry-specific environmental laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof by regulatory agencies;
our ability to obtain certification for our carbon credit project and to sell carbon credits;
changes in standards and requirements governing carbon credit certification;
our ability to implement the modernization plan for the Waldo, Arkansas sawmill; and
the failure of announced real estate transactions to close on time, at the price and on the terms discussed, or at all.

Our Company

We are a leading timberland REIT with ownership and management of over 2.1 million acres of timberland. We also own six sawmills and an industrial grade plywood mill, a residential and commercial real estate development business and a rural timberland sales program. Our operations are organized into three business segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. In the discussion of our consolidated results of operations, our revenues and expenses are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses. In the Business Segment Results discussion below, each segment’s revenues and expenses, as applicable, are presented before elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses.

Our business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including tariffs, quotas and trade agreements, changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland for higher and better use purposes, lumber and plywood prices, weather conditions, disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain including the availability of transportation, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our Wood Products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs, inflation, asset dispositions or acquisitions, impact of pandemics (such as COVID-19 and its variants), fires at our Wood Products facilities or on our timberlands, other natural disasters, government regulation and enforcement actions and other factors.

Additionally, governments and businesses across the globe are taking action on climate change and are making significant commitments towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Achieving these commitments will require governments and companies to take major steps to modify operations, invest in low-carbon activities and purchase offsets to reduce environmental impacts. We believe we are well positioned to provide products and services that entities may utilize to achieve these commitments through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon offsets, carbon capture and storage projects, selling or leasing timberlands to third parties for renewable energy projects such as for solar power generation facilities, selling pulpwood and sawmill residuals for green energy production, and other emerging technologies that allows wood fiber to be used in applications ranging from biofuels to bioplastics.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we present certain non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis, including Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which are defined and further explained and reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the Liquidity and Performance Measures section below. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.

See Note 2: Segment Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the use of Adjusted EBITDDA for our segments.

Business and Economic Trends Affecting Our Operations

The operating results of our Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate business segments have been and will continue to be affected by the cyclical nature of the forest products industry. Log and pulpwood sales volumes in our Timberlands segment are typically lower in the first half of each year as winter rains in the Southern region and spring thaw in the Northern region limit timber harvesting operations due to softened roadbeds and wet logging conditions that restrict access to logging sites. The third quarter is typically our Timberlands segment's strongest production quarter. Demand for our manufactured wood products typically decreases in the winter months when construction activity is slower, while demand typically increases during the spring, summer and fall when construction activity is generally higher.

The demand for timber is directly affected by the underlying demand for lumber and other wood products, as well as by the demand for pulp, paper and packaging. Our Timberlands and Wood Products segments are impacted by both demand for new homes and home improvement and repair of existing homes in the United States. Our Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, our Idaho log market is typically in balance but can be tensioned from time to time, while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity being added in the U.S. South has led to tightening of markets in certain geographies.

Rural real estate dispositions and acquisitions can also be adversely affected when access to any properties to be sold or considered for acquisition is limited due to adverse weather conditions. Development real estate sales occur throughout the year and depend on when our development of residential neighborhoods and commercial lots are substantially completed. The timing of these sales can also be impacted by contractor availability to complete the necessary infrastructure and other improvements.

Interest rates impact our business primarily through their effect on mortgage rates and the broader U.S. economy, and their influence on our capital allocation activities. Speculation on the timing, number, and amount of future interest rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve along with the overall condition of the economy, and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that have influenced long-term interest rates. Over the past decade, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was below 4.0% and began rising above this rate late in the first quarter of 2022 before peaking during 2023 at approximately 7.8% in October 2023, and ending 2023 at approximately 6.6%. Rates have increased since the end of 2023, averaging nearly 6.9% during the first half of 2024. Inflation, which continues to show signs of slowing, is expected to have a significant impact on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to adjust interest rates.

While single-family housing supply remains well below the historical average, housing affordability remains a barrier to home ownership. In July 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau reported total housing starts during the second quarter of 2024 averaged over 1.3 million on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis, which was 4.2% lower than the first quarter of 2024. Single-family housing starts averaged approximately 1.0 million units on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis during the second quarter of 2024, which was 5.2% lower than the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, authorized building permits for single-family housing averaged over 950,000 units on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis during the second quarter of 2024, which was 5.8% lower than the first quarter of 2024.

Further, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) was 42 in June 2024, up from 37 in December 2023, but down from 51 in March 2024. Even though there is pent-up demand for new construction, builders continue to face several supply-side challenges, including a scarcity of buildable lots and skilled labor, along with higher material costs that continue to increase the cost of building homes. Overall, we believe long-term underlying housing fundamentals remain favorable due to an undersupply of homes, lower than historical-average existing inventory for sale, the ongoing prevalence towards remote work, and a large millennial demographic in their prime home-buying years.

The repair and remodel sector is the largest market segment for lumber demand. Near term headwinds on the repair and remodel market appear to be driven by elevated interest rates, which raise the cost of discretionary projects, coupled with the low turnover of existing homes, which typically spurs repair and remodel activity. While spending in the sector for owner-occupied homes has moderated, we believe long-term favorable underlying fundamentals, including solid household balance sheets, strong levels of home equity and an aging existing housing stock and work from home policies, will continue to support repair and remodel demand for our products.

In our Timberlands segment, a significant portion of our Idaho sawlog prices are indexed on a one-month lag to lumber prices. The Northern region experienced a decline in sawlog prices during the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023 because of lower indexed lumber prices. In the Southern region, sawlog and pulpwood prices remained relatively stable. Our total harvest volume of 1.9 million tons in the second quarter of 2024 was higher than the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to more favorable operating conditions during the second quarter of 2024. We expect to harvest between 1.9 and 2.0 million tons during the third quarter of 2024, with approximately 77% of the volume in the Southern region.

In June 2022, we announced a project to expand and modernize our Waldo, Arkansas sawmill (the Waldo Modernization Project). The Waldo Modernization Project includes upgrades to the log yard and planer, a new saw line, and a new continuous dry kiln and is expected to increase the sawmill’s annual capacity and reduce its operating costs significantly. Following completion of the Waldo Modernization Project which is expected in the third quarter of 2024, we anticipate a ramp up in production through the fourth quarter and into next year. It is anticipated it will take 6 to 12 months to reach the sawmill's expected new capacity of 275 million board feet per year.

In our Wood Products segment, demand in the lumber markets has remained tepid leading to continued pricing pressure. Lumber shipments increased compared to the prior year primarily as a result of higher shipments at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill. We shipped 286 million board feet of lumber during the second quarter of 2024. We expect to ship between 250 and 260 million board feet of lumber during the third quarter of 2024, which takes into account a reduced production level due to scheduled downtime at our Waldo, Arkansas sawmill for the modernization and expansion project.

In the second quarter of 2024, our Real Estate segment benefited primarily from increased rural land sales, including the sale of 34,100 acres of four-year average age Southern timberlands for $56.7 million to Forest Investment Associates (FIA). We expect to sell approximately 6,600 rural acres and 45 residential lots in Chenal Valley during the third quarter of 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Compared with Second Quarter 2023

Revenues

Revenues were $320.7 million, an increase of $74.6 million compared with the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased rural real estate acres sold, which included the 34,100-acre rural timberland sale to FIA, and increased harvest volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower lumber prices and fewer lot sales in Chenal Valley.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased $67.4 million compared with the second quarter of 2023, mainly due to increased rural real estate acres sold, increased logging and hauling costs from higher harvest volumes and increased manufacturing costs as a result of more lumber shipments. These increases were partially offset by fewer lot sales in Chenal Valley.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to employee and employee-related costs. Additionally, the prior year included a $1.0 million reduction in stock compensation expense due to employee forfeiture of stock awards.

Gain on fire damage

During the second quarter of 2023, we recognized insurance recoveries of $23.1 million for fire damage at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill. The claim with insurance carriers was finalized by the end of 2023.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to less interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts.

Income taxes

Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.8 million on TRS loss before tax of $19.2 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $6.4 million on TRS income before tax of $29.0 million, which included the $23.1 million gain on fire damage. Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023, also included an approximate $1.0 million tax benefit from the reduction of our blended deferred tax rate during the second quarter of 2023.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the second quarter of 2024 increased $57.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased rural real estate acres sold and increased harvest volumes. The increase in Total Adjusted EBITDDA was partially offset by lower lumber prices, fewer lot sales in Chenal Valley, and increased general and administrative expenses. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments. See Liquidity and Performance Measures for a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income (loss), the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.

Second Quarter 2024 Compared with Second Quarter 2023

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the second quarter of 2024 increased $4.8 million compared with the second quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of the following:

Harvest Volume: Northern and Southern harvest volumes increased 11.6% and 16.6%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to more favorable operating conditions compared the second quarter of 2023.
Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the Northern region declined 1.7% to $113 per ton primarily due to the effect of lower indexed sawlog prices in Idaho. Southern sawlog prices remained relatively flat.
Logging and Hauling Cost per Unit: Logging and hauling costs per unit were lower due to decreased fuel costs and shorter hauling distances.

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the first half of 2024 decreased $7.1 million compared with the first half of 2023 primarily as a result of the following:

Harvest Volume: In the Northern region hauling conditions were less favorable in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 resulting in a 13.8% decrease in harvest volume during the first half of 2024. We harvested 3.1 million tons in the Southern region during the first half of 2024 which was 7.3% higher than the first half of 2023, primarily due to more favorable operating conditions.
Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the Northern region decreased 5.3% to $108 per ton primarily due to the effect of lower indexed sawlog prices in Idaho. Southern sawlog prices remained relatively flat.
Logging and Hauling Cost per Unit: Logging and hauling costs per unit were lower due to decreased fuel costs and shorter hauling distances.

Second Quarter 2024 Compared with Second Quarter 2023

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $89.6 million, an increase of $77.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the following:

Rural Sales: Rural real estate sales in the second quarter of 2024 included the 34,100-acre sale of four-year average age Southern timberlands to FIA for $56.7 million and a 2,000-acre conservation sale in Arkansas for $4,700 per acre. There were no large rural real estate sales during the second quarter of 2023. Rural real estate sales can vary quarter-to-quarter with the average price per acre fluctuating based on both the geographic area of the real estate and product mix.
Development Sales: During the second quarter of 2024, we sold 13 residential lots at an average lot price of $112,721 compared to 42 lots at an average lot price of $107,126 during the second quarter of 2023. In addition, we sold 12 acres of commercial land in Chenal Valley for an average price of $492,746 per acre during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 6 acres for an average price of $818,914 per acre during the second quarter of 2023. The average price per residential lot or commercial acre fluctuates based on a variety of factors including size, location, and planned end use within the developments.

Year to Date 2024 Compared with Year to Date 2023

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the first half of 2024 increased $64.1 million compared to the first half of 2023, primarily as a result of the following:

Rural Sales: Rural real estate sales in the first half of 2024 included the 34,100-acre sale to FIA and the 2,000-acre conservation sale in Arkansas, whereas the first half of 2023 included a 2,240-acre conservation sale in Alabama and a 2,700-acre sale in Georgia, both in the first quarter of 2023.
Development Sales: During the first half of 2024, we sold 37 residential lots at an average lot price of $117,280 compared to 66 lots at an average lot price of $110,509 during the first half of 2023. In addition, we sold 12 acres of commercial land in Chenal Valley for an average price of $492,746 per acre during the first half of 2024 compared to 6 acres for an average price of $818,914 during the first half of 2023.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities increased $40.3 million in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023 primarily as a result of the following:

Cash received from customers increased $46.7 million primarily due to increased rural real estate acres sold, including the 34,100-acre sale to FIA, and increased Southern harvest volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower lumber and Northern sawlog prices, and lower Northern harvest volumes.
Cash payments decreased $2.5 million primarily due to lower Northern logging and hauling costs and lower employee incentive compensation payouts. These declines were partially offset by costs associated with increased lumber production and Southern harvest volumes.
During the first half of 2024, we received the final $1.7 million of insurance proceeds related to business interruption insurance following the fire at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill in June 2021 compared to $9.7 million in insurance proceeds in the first half of 2023.
Cash paid for interest, net increased compared to the first half of 2023 by approximately $4.6 million primarily due to lower interest income earned as a result of lower average cash balances in interest bearing accounts partially offset by increased patronage dividends from our lenders. Additionally, cash from operating activities for first half of 2024 includes reclassification of $15.0 million received from interest rate swaps that contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception as investing ($13.9 million) and financing ($1.1 million) activities. Cash from operating activities for first half of 2023 includes reclassification of $11.8 million received from interest rate swaps that contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception as investing ($10.9 million) and financing ($0.9 million) activities.
Net tax payments decreased $6.0 million due to lower taxable income generated from our TRS operations in 2024.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Changes in cash flows from investing activities were primarily a result of the following:

Cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and road construction projects during the first half of 2024 and 2023 were $39.4 million and $20.8 million, respectively.
Cash expenditures for timberland acquisitions during the first half 2024 was approximately $31.5 million which included the acquisition of 16,000 acres of mature timberlands in Arkansas. Cash expenditures for timberland acquisitions during the first half of 2023 was $1.6 million.
We received $13.9 million during the first half of 2024 compared to $10.9 million during the first half of 2023 from certain interest rate swaps that contained an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, which are required to be classified in investing activities. Cash flows from these above-market interest rate swaps reduce our interest costs on the corresponding variable rate debt.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Changes in cash flows from financing activities were primarily a result of the following:

During the first half of 2024 we repurchased 609,624 shares of our common stock totaling $25.0 million, which included $1.1 million of repurchases that were not settled until the third quarter. We repurchased 8,761 shares of our common stock totaling $0.4 million during the first half of 2023.
Dividend payments of $71.5 million during the first half of 2024 compared to $71.9 million during the first half of 2023.

Future Sources and Uses of Cash

At June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $199.7 million. We expect cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from our operating activities, and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement, if needed, to be adequate to meet our future cash requirements. At June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our cash commitments arising in the normal course of business under our known contractual and other obligations as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Capital Expenditures

We invest cash in maintenance and discretionary capital expenditures at our Wood Products facilities. We also invest cash in the reforestation of timberlands and construction of roads in our Timberlands operations and to develop land in our Real Estate development operations. We evaluate discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of return on investment. We expect to spend a total of approximately $100 million to $110 million for capital expenditures during 2024, including capital expenditures for the Waldo Modernization Project.

The Waldo Modernization Project includes upgrades to the log yard and planer, a new saw line, a new continuous dry kiln and other improvements which are expected to increase the sawmill’s annual capacity from 190 million board feet of dimensional lumber to approximately 275 million board feet. The existing sawmill will continue to operate until taking limited downtime to tie in the new equipment. Completion of the project is expected in the third quarter of 2024. Following the restart, we anticipate a ramp up in production at the sawmill through the fourth quarter of 2024 and into next year. We expect it will take 6 to 12 months after the planned restart to reach the sawmill's expected new annual capacity. We expect to spend approximately $131.0 million on the project, of which a total of $104.3 million has been spent through June 30, 2024, and approximately $26.7 million is expected to be spent during the remainder of 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a Trading Plan), or through privately negotiated transactions. At June 30, 2024, we had remaining authorization of $100 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. The timing, manner, price and amount of repurchases will be determined according to a Trading Plan, and, subject to the terms of a Trading Plan, the Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

Term Loans and Credit Agreement

At June 30, 2024, our total outstanding net long-term debt was $1.0 billion. All interest rates on our outstanding long-term debt are fixed either under fixed-rate loans or variable-rate loans with an associated interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark interest rate component. Approximately $175.7 million of our outstanding long-term debt was classified as current at June 30, 2024 on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including a $110.0 million term loan and a $65.7 million revenue bond that mature during 2024. We expect to refinance all of this debt upon maturity. We also have $200.0 million notional of forward-starting interest rate swaps available to reduce the interest rate on any future debt refinancings.

Of our total long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2024, $971.0 million was drawn under an amended and restated credit agreement dated March 22, 2018 (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender.

We have a $300.0 million revolving line of credit with a syndicate of lenders, that matures February 14, 2027 (Amended Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the amount of available principal may be increased up to an additional $500.0 million. We may also utilize borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions, and other general corporate expenditures. At June 30, 2024, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $0.6 million of the credit facility was utilized by outstanding letters of credit.

Financial Covenants

The Amended Term Loan Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement (collectively referred to as the Financing Agreements) contain certain covenants that limit our ability and that of our subsidiaries to create liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur indebtedness and guarantees, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates or change the nature of our business. The Financing Agreements also contain financial maintenance covenants including the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio as defined in the Financing Agreements. We are permitted to pay dividends to our stockholders under the terms of the Financing Agreements so long as we expect to remain in compliance with the financial maintenance covenants.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses in evaluating performance and to allocate resources between segments. Total Adjusted EBITDDA removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors and other interested parties by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented and the identification of trends in our underlying business. It also can be used to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management and to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and against the operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.

We reconcile Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income (loss) for the consolidated company as it is the most comparable GAAP measure.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the respective periods:

We define CAD as cash from operating activities adjusted for capital spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and roads and timberland acquisitions not classified as strategic. Management believes CAD is a useful indicator of the company’s overall liquidity, as it provides a measure of cash generated that is available for dividends to common stockholders (an important factor in maintaining our REIT status), repurchase of the company’s common shares, debt repayment, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary activities. Our definition of CAD is limited in that it does not solely represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view CAD as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our definition of CAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes during 2024 to our critical accounting policies or estimates as presented in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risk exposure on financial instruments includes interest rate risk on our bank credit facility, term loans and interest rate swap agreements and forward starting interest rate swap agreements. We are exposed to interest rate volatility on existing variable rate debt instruments and future incurrences of fixed or variable rate debt, which exposure primarily relates to movements in various interest rates. We use interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps to hedge our exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on existing debt and future debt issuances, respectively. All market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than for trading purposes.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

At June 30, 2024, we had remaining authorization of $100.0 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability to account for repurchases that have not been cash settled. We retire shares upon repurchase. Any excess repurchase price over par is recorded in accumulated deficit.
