Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," or other similar words. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, that we will manage our operations to generate highly predictable and stable cash flow that comfortably covers our dividend and is designed to deliver consistent growth throughout the business cycle, and our updated guidance with respect to our anticipated 2020 results. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations, including, but not limited to: (i) we may not generate the harvest volumes from our timberlands that we currently anticipate; (ii) the demand for our timber may not increase at the rate we currently anticipate or at all due to changes in general economic and business conditions in the geographic regions where our timberlands are located, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken in response thereto; (iii) a downturn in the real estate market generally, including decreases in demand and valuations, may adversely impact our ability to generate income and cash flow from sales of higher-and-better use properties; (iv) timber prices could decline, which would negatively impact our revenues; (v) the supply of timberlands available for acquisition that meet our investment criteria may be less than we currently anticipate; (vi) we may be unsuccessful in winning bids for timberland that are sold through an auction process; (vii) we may not be able to make large dispositions of timberland in capital recycling transactions at prices that are attractive to us or at all; (viii) we may not be able to access external sources of capital at attractive rates or at all; (ix) potential increases in interest rates could have a negative impact on our business; (x) our share repurchase program may not be successful in improving stockholder value over the long-term; (xi) our joint venture strategy may not enable us to access non-dilutive capital and enhance our ability to make acquisitions; (xii) we may not be successful in effectively managing the Triple T joint venture and the anticipated benefits of the joint venture may not be realized, including that our asset management fee could be deferred or decreased, we may not earn an incentive-based promote and our investment in the joint venture could lose value; and (xiii) the factors described in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements, except as required by law. 2

APPENDIX 12

DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES Adjusted EBITDA: Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depletion, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance. EBITDA is defined by the SEC however, we have excluded certain other expenses which we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our timberland portfolio, and we refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. As such, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for net income, cash from operations, or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as indicators of our operating performance. Due to the significant amount of timber assets subject to depletion, significant income (losses) from unconsolidated joint ventures based on HLBV, and the significant amount of financing subject to interest and amortization expense, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations are: ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, or our future requirements for capital expenditures; ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt; and ‒ Although depletion is a non-cash charge, we will incur expenses to replace the timber being depleted in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such expenses. ‒ Although HLBV income and losses are primarily hypothetical and non-cash in nature, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash income or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures for which we use the HLBV method of accounting to determine our equity in earnings. ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to fund post-employment benefits or transaction costs related to acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or new business initiatives, which may be substantial. Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our credit agreement contains a minimum debt service coverage ratio based, in part, on Adjusted EBITDA since this measure is representative of adjusted income available for interest payments. Cash Available for Distribution (CAD): Cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures (excluding timberland acquisitions), working capital changes, cash distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures and certain cash expenditures that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations of our timberland portfolio on an on-going basis, including costs required to be expensed by GAAP related to acquisitions, transactions, joint ventures or new business activities. 13

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," or other similar words. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, that we will maximize our cash flows through actively managing our timberlands located in high-demand mill markets, that the strong productivity characteristics of our timberlands will enhance prospects for future revenue growth, that recent significant mill market expansion should lead to greater, near-term price appreciation; that we seek to maintain balance sheet flexibility for opportunistic investments and to manage revenue volatility with an aim to lower overall leverage in the near-term; the outlook for key market indicators; our outlook for the Pacific Northwest harvest mix and access to foreign markets; that we will unlock future value in the Triple T joint venture by optimizing the inventory and delivery on existing supply agreements, that we expect to meet our goal of delivering an attractive dividend fully covered by cash flow from operations and, if needed, cash on hand, and our updated guidance with respect to our anticipated 2020 results. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations, including, but not limited to: (i) we may not generate the harvest volumes from our timberlands that we currently anticipate; (ii) the demand for our timber may not increase at the rate we currently anticipate or at all due to changes in general economic and business conditions in the geographic regions where our timberlands are located, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken in response thereto; (iii) a downturn in the real estate market generally, including decreases in demand and valuations, may adversely impact our ability to generate income and cash flow from sales of higher-and-better use properties; (iv) timber prices could decline, which would negatively impact our revenues; (v) the supply of timberlands available for acquisition that meet our investment criteria may be less than we currently anticipate; (vi) we may be unsuccessful in winning bids for timberland that are sold through an auction process; (vii) we may not be able to make large dispositions of timberland in capital recycling transactions at prices that are attractive to us or at all; (viii) we may not be able to access external sources of capital at attractive rates or at all; (ix) potential increases in interest rates could have a negative impact on our business; (x) our share repurchase program may not be successful in improving stockholder value over the long-term; (xi) our joint venture strategy may not enable us to access non-dilutive capital and enhance our ability to make acquisitions; (xii) we may not be successful in effectively managing the Triple T joint venture and the anticipated benefits of the joint venture may not be realized, including that our asset management fee could be deferred or decreased, we may not earn an incentive-based promote and our investment in the joint venture could lose value; and (xiii) the factors described in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission.

TRIPLE T INVESTMENT: DURABLE GROWTH, FEE REVENUE, UPSIDE CatchMark’s $200 million investment in the $1.39 billion Triple T joint venture provides substantial upside potential from an improving inventory profile, opportunities to unlock future value through sophisticated harvest management, and significant ongoing asset management fee income as well as the potential for incentive-based promotes. • Immediately CAD Accretive: The JV secures ongoing asset management fee income and potential for attractive incentive-based promotes. • Rapidly Improving Inventory Profile: Results in enhanced future harvests and provides the opportunity to restructure operations to optimize cash flow and value. • Since acquisition, merchantable inventory has improved from 38.7 million tons (51% sawtimber) to 44.1 million tons1 (54% sawtimber). • As the average age of pine plantation acres increases, the large component of highly productive middle-aged stands grow closer to maturity. Long-term stocking profile is expected to be accretive to CatchMark’s existing portfolio. • Potential to Recapitalize: CatchMark can potentially recapitalize the asset in the future, retaining long-term ownership control. • High-Quality Portfolio: Triple T fits CatchMark’s profile for high-quality timberland assets with excellent stocking that can provide durable growth for shareholders. • Unlocking Future Value: CatchMark has identified opportunities to unlock future value, including optimizing inventory and delivery on existing long-term supply agreements. • Expanded Investment Management Business: CatchMark has expanded its investment management business, supplementing harvest revenues with additional fee income to support its dividend and growth strategy. 1. As of 12/31/2019. The Triple T Joint Venture considers inventory to be merchantable at age 12. Merchantable timber inventory includes growth and adjustments identified during the annual recruise of the 38 Triple T timberlands.

CATCHMARK AND COVID-19 NOT VULNERABLE TO MANUFACTURING We are not a manufacturer, not directly subject to operations/lumber price decline shocks. DEFERRED, NOT LOST REVENUE While some revenues have been deferred, particularly sawtimber, they have not been lost. Our trees are still growing in the forest and the raw materials we provide make us an essential business. PULPWOOD DEMAND STEADY Our delivered wood sales model and fiber supply agreements help meet pulpwood harvest volume targets which are up to 60 percent of our harvest mix. Stepped up planned thinning activity to meet demand. SAWTIMBER SLOWLY RECOVERING After a significant decline in sawtimber demand early in April, mill customers in CatchMark’s markets have begun to recover, filling new orders based on supply chain demand. Rebound in housing markets and commercial construction key to recovery. TIMBERLAND SALES CONTINUE $1.0 million of sales closed to date during the second quarter. Additional transactions expected during the quarter; pipeline remains active for the remainder of the year. TRIPLE T ON PLAN The joint venture meets operating targets and provides significant and reliable asset management fees. LIQUIDITY SOUND Recent deleveraging and just amended credit agreement loosened debt covenants and increased working capital cushion by 250%. We have no near-term exposure to refinancing or maturity risk. DECLARED SECOND QUARTER DIVIDEND Assuming the economy shows a moderate recovery track, CatchMark can meet its goal of delivering an attractive dividend fully covered by cash flow from operations and, if needed, cash on hand. 41

APPENDIX 43

DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES Adjusted EBITDA: Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depletion, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance. EBITDA is defined by the SEC however, we have excluded certain other expenses which we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our timberland portfolio, and we refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. As such, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for net income, cash from operations, or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as indicators of our operating performance. Due to the significant amount of timber assets subject to depletion, significant income (losses) from unconsolidated joint ventures based on HLBV, and the significant amount of financing subject to interest and amortization expense, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations are: ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, or our future requirements for capital expenditures; ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt; and ‒ Although depletion is a non-cash charge, we will incur expenses to replace the timber being depleted in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such expenses. ‒ Although HLBV income and losses are primarily hypothetical and non-cash in nature, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash income or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures for which we use the HLBV method of accounting to determine our equity in earnings. ‒ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to fund post-employment benefits or transaction costs related to acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or new business initiatives, which may be substantial. Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our credit agreement contains a minimum debt service coverage ratio based, in part, on Adjusted EBITDA since this measure is representative of adjusted income available for interest payments. Cash Available for Distribution (CAD): Cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures (excluding timberland acquisitions), working capital changes, cash distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures and certain cash expenditures that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations of our timberland portfolio on an on-going basis, including costs required to be expensed by GAAP related to acquisitions, transactions, joint ventures or new business activities. 44
