SUMMARY OF UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a full description of our other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2022 Form 10-K.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

NON-TIMBER SALES

Carbon Capture and Storage Sales

    Carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) sales are primarily comprised of revenue generated from granting land access and the right to inject, sequester and permanently store carbon dioxide in a subsurface area. CCS contracts contain variable consideration arrangements, which may include variable durations, rates, access acres and carbon volumes. The determination of the transaction price and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations may require significant judgment and is based on management’s estimate of the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive as of the reporting date.

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimation of variable consideration requires us to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future payments, which may be impacted by factors such as changes in market conditions, competition or other factors beyond our control. As a result, actual amounts of variable consideration could differ from our estimates.

We regularly review our estimates of variable consideration and, if necessary, adjust the transaction price and related revenue recognition accordingly. Any such adjustments are recorded in the period in which the estimate is revised.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There have been no recently adopted or pending accounting pronouncements which are applicable or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
