Rayonier Reports a 13% Increase in First Quarter 2008 Results

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 22, 2008 – Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported first quarter net income of $40.6 million, or 51 cents per share, compared to $35.1 million, or 45 cents per share, in first quarter 2007.

“Despite a weak timber market, first quarter results were quite good,” said Lee M. Thomas, Chairman, President and CEO. “Softness in timber prices and lower volumes from our planned reductions in sawlog harvests were offset by strong demand in Performance Fibers and demand for higher and better use rural properties and non-strategic timberlands. We also executed on our strategy to grow and upgrade our timberland portfolio as evidenced by our recent acquisitions of more than 110,000 acres in Washington and New York.”

Cash provided by operating activities of $100 million was $48 million above the prior year period due to lower working capital requirements and higher operating earnings. Cash available for distribution1 of $61 million was comparable to first quarter 2007. (See Schedule H for more details.)

Timber

In first quarter 2008, sales and operating income were $47 million and $12 million, $18 million and $14 million below the prior year period, respectively, due to the weak housing market’s impact on sawlog pricing and the Company’s planned reductions in sawlog volume. Based on current conditions, the Company expects to continue to limit its sawtimber harvest for the balance of the year preserving our higher-value timber until markets improve.

Real Estate

Sales and operating income were $29 million and $22 million, $8 million and $7 million above first quarter 2007, respectively, due to increased rural property prices and volumes and non-strategic timberland sales. The first quarter improvement in volume was partially attributable to the acceleration of transactions originally expected to close in second quarter 2008.

Performance Fibers

Sales and operating income were $175 million and $37 million, an improvement of $9 million and $10 million from the prior year period, respectively. Increased prices and lower depreciation expense more than offset higher raw materials and maintenance costs and lower volume primarily resulting from unplanned downtime earlier in the quarter.

Other Items

Corporate expenses were $7 million, down $2 million from the prior year period primarily due to lower stock-based and other incentive compensation expenses.

Interest expense of $11 million was $2 million below first quarter 2007 primarily due to lower interest rates resulting from the fourth quarter 2007 debt refinancing.

The first quarter effective tax rate before discrete items increased to 20.5 percent compared to 16.7 percent in 2007 due to proportionately higher earnings from the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary.2 Including discrete items, the first quarter effective tax rate was 20.2 percent.

Outlook

“Given the outlook for the timber and real estate markets, we expect that second quarter and full year 2008 earnings will be below prior year periods. However, we anticipate that the softness in those markets will be somewhat offset by the continued strength in Performance Fibers,” said Thomas. “In Real Estate, we anticipate continued interest in rural properties and non-strategic timberlands although sales will be more heavily weighted to the second half of the year. Cash available for distribution is expected to remain strong, although below 2007.”

Rayonier is a leading international forest products company with three core businesses: Timber, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. The company owns, leases or manages 2.6 million acres of timber and land in the United States and New Zealand. The company’s holdings include approximately 200,000 acres with residential and commercial development potential along the fast-growing Interstate 95 corridor between Savannah, Georgia, and Daytona Beach, Florida. Its Performance Fibers business is one of the world’s leading producers of high-value specialty cellulose fibers. Approximately 40 percent of the company’s sales are outside the U.S. to customers in more than 50 countries. Rayonier is structured as a real estate investment trust.

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Rayonier’s future financial and operational performance, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate” and other similar language. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document: the cyclical and competitive nature of the industries in which we operate; fluctuations in demand for, or supply of, our forest products and real estate offerings; entry of new competitors into our markets; changes in global economic conditions and world events, including political changes in particular regions or countries; changes in energy and raw material prices, particularly for our performance fibers and wood products businesses; unanticipated equipment maintenance and repair requirements at our manufacturing facilities; the geographic concentration of a significant portion of our timberland; our ability to identify and complete timberland acquisitions; changes in environmental laws and regulations, including laws regarding air emissions and water discharges, remediation of contaminated sites, timber harvesting, delineation of wetlands, and endangered species, that may restrict or adversely impact our ability to conduct our business, or increase the cost of doing so; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as hurricanes, wind storms and wildfires, which can adversely affect our timberlands and the production, distribution and availability of our products and raw materials such as wood, energy and chemicals; interest rate and currency movements; the availability of credit generally, including its impact on the cost and terms of obtaining financing; our capacity to incur additional debt, and any decision we may make to do so; changes in tariffs, taxes or treaties relating to the import and export of our products or those of our competitors; the ability to complete like-kind-exchanges of timberlands and real estate; changes in key management and personnel; our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT and to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries; and changes in tax laws that could reduce the benefits associated with REIT status.

In addition, specifically with respect to our Real Estate business, the following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document: the cyclical nature of the real estate business generally, including fluctuations in demand for both entitled and unentitled property; the lengthy, uncertain and costly process associated with the ownership, entitlement and development of real estate, especially in Florida, which also may be affected by changes in law, policy and political factors beyond our control; the potential for legal challenges to entitlements and permits in connection with our properties; unexpected delays in the entry into or closing of real estate transactions; the existence of competing developers and communities in the markets in which we own property; the pace of development and the rate and timing of absorption of existing entitled property in the markets in which we own property; changes in the demographics affecting projected population growth and migration to the Southeastern U.S.; changes in environmental laws and regulations, including laws regarding water withdrawal and management and delineation of wetlands, that may restrict or adversely impact our ability to sell or develop properties; the cost of the development of property generally, including the cost of property taxes, labor and construction materials; the timing of construction and availability of public infrastructure; and the availability of financing for real estate development and mortgage loans.

Additional factors are described in the company’s most recent Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rayonier assumes no obligation to update these statements except as is required by law.
