Rayonier Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 22, 2008 – Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported second quarter net income of $37.4 million, or 47 cents per share, compared to $33.3 million, or 42 cents per share, in second quarter 2007. Year-to-date net income was $78.0 million, or 98 cents per share, compared to $68.4 million, or 87 cents per share, in the first six months of 2007. Prior year results included a $10 million loss from forest fires. Excluding this item, earnings for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 were $43.4 million, or 55 cents per share, and $78.5 million, or $1.00 per share, respectively.

“Second quarter results were solid despite challenging markets and the overall weakness in the economy,” said Lee M. Thomas, Chairman, President and CEO. “Strong demand in Performance Fibers and continued interest in non-strategic timberlands partially offset softness in sawlog prices and higher costs in Performance Fibers.”

Cash provided by operating activities of $155 million for the six months ended June 30 was $23 million above the 2007 comparable period primarily due to lower working capital requirements. Year-to-date, cash available for distribution1 of $97 million was $10 million below 2007. (See Schedule H for more details.)

Timber

For second quarter 2008, sales of $55 million were $1 million below second quarter 2007, while operating income of $9 million was $12 million below the prior year excluding the $10 million fire loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales of $103 million were $19 million below the comparable prior year period, while operating income of $22 million was $26 million lower. The 2008 results reflect lower sawlog pricing due to the weak housing market and oversupply of salvaged timber in the Northwest from a December 2007 storm. The impact of lower prices was partially mitigated by increased volumes as we shifted our focus to meet strong pulpwood

demand. Based on current conditions, the Company expects to continue its planned reduction in sawtimber harvest for the balance of the year thereby preserving higher-value timber until markets improve.

Real Estate

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, sales were $23 million, $6 million below the prior year period, and operating income was $15 million, $9 million below second quarter 2007. The decline was primarily due to a shift in sales from development to rural properties and non-strategic timberlands. Also affecting the quarter’s results was a decline in price per acre for rural properties reflecting a change in our geographic sales mix.

Year-to-date 2008 sales and operating income were $53 million and $36 million, respectively. Sales improved $3 million from the prior year period due to a greater number of acres sold but operating income declined $3 million due to the shift in mix toward rural properties and non-strategic timberlands.

Performance Fibers

Sales for the quarter of $187 million were $19 million above second quarter 2007. For the six months, sales of $362 million were $28 million above the prior year period. Sales increased as higher prices more than offset a decline in absorbent materials volumes. For the quarter, sales also benefited from increased cellulose specialty volumes.

Operating income for second quarter of $37 million was $6 million above the same quarter last year. Year-to-date operating income of $74 million was $16 million above the prior year period. Increased prices and lower depreciation expense more than offset higher chemical, wood, energy and maintenance costs.

Other Items

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, corporate expenses were $8 million and $15 million, down $1 million and $2 million from the prior year periods, respectively.

Interest expense for the quarter of $12 million was $2 million lower than second quarter 2007. Year-to-date interest expense of $23 million was $4 million below the prior year period. Lower interest rates resulting from the fourth quarter 2007 debt refinancing more than offset higher average debt balances due to strategic acquisitions.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 11.9 percent compared to 23.0 percent for the prior year period. Year-to-date, the effective tax rate was 16.4 percent compared to 20.3 percent for the same period last year. The decreased rates are due to proportionately lower earnings from the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. (See Schedule J for further details.)

Outlook

“Given the continued weak outlook for sawlogs, we expect third quarter and full year 2008 earnings to be below prior year periods as we continue to limit our harvest. In Performance Fibers, results are expected to be above prior year with strong demand for our cellulose specialty products more than offsetting escalating raw material, energy and transportation costs,” said Thomas. “In Real Estate, we anticipate continued interest for rural HBU properties and expect to sell additional non-strategic timberlands to take advantage of favorable demand. Real Estate sales are expected to be more heavily weighted to the fourth quarter. Overall, cash available for distribution is expected to remain strong, although below 2007.”

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; impacts of the rising cost of fuel, including the cost and availability of transportation for our products, both domestically and internationally, and the cost and availability of third party logging and trucking services; 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 credits 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.
