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
