TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Temple-Inland Inc. and its subsidiaries and special purpose and variable interest entities of which it is the primary beneficiary.  We account for our investment in other ventures under the equity method.

We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements.  As a result, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  These adjustments are normal recurring accruals, except as noted.  These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  For further information, please read the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements

We have evaluated all recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and believe that none of these accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our earnings or financial position.

Note 3 – Unsolicited Tender Offer

On June 6, 2011, International Paper Company (IP) made public an unsolicited proposal to acquire all our outstanding shares of common stock for $30.60 per share in cash.  After careful consideration with our independent financial and legal advisors, our Board of Directors determined unanimously that IP’s proposal grossly undervalued Temple-Inland and was not in the best interests of our stockholders and voted unanimously to reject IP’s proposal.  On July 12, 2011, IP commenced an unsolicited tender offer to acquire all our outstanding shares of common stock for $30.60 per share in cash.  Our Board of Directors, after careful consideration with our independent financial and legal advisors, again unanimously voted to reject IP’s tender offer.  Our Board of Directors unanimously believes that IP’s tender offer grossly undervalues Temple-Inland and is not in the best interests of our stockholders.  On July 18, 2011, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 detailing the recommendation of our Board of Directors in response to IP’s tender offer and the reasons it rejected the offer.

On June 7, 2011, after careful consideration and consultation with our independent financial and legal advisors, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (Rights Plan) and declared a dividend of one preferred purchase right (Right) for each outstanding share of our common stock.  The Rights Plan is designed to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics.  In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our Board of Directors.  The Rights Plan should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors.  Please read Note 11 for additional information.

In connection with these matters, in second quarter 2011, we expensed $2 million of professional fees and other costs, and we committed to minimum financial advisor fees of $20 million, which we anticipate expensing over a one year period as services are rendered.  We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with IP’s unsolicited tender offer.

In addition, we recognized expense of $3 million in first six months 2011 and $3 million in first six months 2010 related to payments of lump-sum benefits from our supplemental defined benefit plan.  We made $15 million in voluntary, discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit plan in first six months 2010.

Note 5 – Share-Based and Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We have shareholder approved share-based compensation plans that permit awards to key employees and non-employee directors in the form of cash-settled restricted or performance stock units, stock-settled restricted stock units, or options to purchase shares of our common stock.  We also have long-term incentives for key employees in the form of fixed value awards that vest over multiple years.  We generally grant awards annually in February, and we use treasury stock to fulfill awards settled in common stock and stock option exercises.

Share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense consists of:

The fair value of awards granted to retirement-eligible employees and expensed at the date of grant was $4 million in first six months 2011 and $3 million in first six months 2010.

Unrecognized share-based and long-term incentive compensation for all awards not vested was $46 million at second quarter-end 2011.  We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of two years.

The fair value of all share-based and long-term incentive awards vested and to be settled in cash, including accrued dividends of $2 million, was $80 million at second quarter-end 2011, of which $46 million is included in other current liabilities and $34 million in long-term liabilities.

Cash-settled restricted or performance stock units

Cash-settled restricted or performance stock units generally have a three-year term and vest after three years from the date of grant or the attainment of stated ROI-based performance goals, generally measured over a three-year period, or if there is a change of control.  Changes in our estimate of the attainment of stated performance goals could have a significant impact on our share-based compensation expense in any one accounting period.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested cash-settled restricted or performance stock units was $23 million at second quarter-end 2011 share price of $30 per share.  We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of two years.  The fair value of awards settled in cash was $17 million in first six months 2011 and $16 million in first six months 2010.  The fair value of units vested and to be settled in cash, including accrued dividends of $2 million in 2011 and $1 million in 2010, was $48 million at second quarter-end 2011, of which $36 million is included in other current liabilities and $12 million in long-term liabilities; and $40 million at year-end 2010, of which $14 million was included in other current liabilities and $26 million in long-term liabilities.  In addition, approximately one-half of the annual director compensation is paid in the form of cash-settled restricted stock units that are deferred until retirement.  The fair value of these units vested and to be settled in cash included in long-term liabilities was $20 million at second quarter-end 2011 and $14 million at year-end 2010.

Stock options

Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, death, disability, or if there is a change in control.  Options are granted with an option price equal to the market value of common stock on the date of grant.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options awards was $7 million at second quarter-end 2011.  We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of three years.

Fixed Value Cash Awards

Long-term incentive compensation expense is related to $18 million of fixed value cash awards that were granted to employees in February and August 2009.  These awards are not tied to our stock price.  The fixed value cash awards generally vest over periods from three to six years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability, or if there is a change of control.

Unrecognized long-term incentive compensation expense related to fixed value cash awards was $6 million at second quarter-end 2011.  We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of three years.  Accrued long-term incentive compensation at second quarter-end 2011 was $12 million, of which $10 million is included in other current liabilities and $2 million in long-term liabilities.  At year-end 2010, accrued long-term incentive compensation included in long-term liabilities was $10 million.

In connection with the second phase of our box plant transformation, in second quarter 2011, we closed our Carol Stream and Northlake, Illinois box plants, and began production at our new box plant in Aurora, Illinois.  Costs related to box plant transformation in first six months 2011, included asset impairment charges of $2 million, severance costs of $1 million, and other transformation related costs of $13 million, primarily related to duplicate and incremental costs associated with production affected by box plant transformation.  In first six months 2010, costs related to box plant transformation included asset impairment charges of $8 million and other closure costs of $4 million.  Activity within our accruals for box plant transformation activities follows:

In first quarter 2010, the Internal Revenue Service clarified an uncertainty regarding whether a portion of the alternative fuel we claimed in 2009 would qualify for the alternative fuel mixture tax credit.  As a result, in first six months 2010 we reversed a related reserve of $10 million.

Note 7 – Non-operating Income (Expense)

Other non-operating income (expense) in first six months 2011 consists of a $4 million loss resulting from the purchase and retirement of $50 million of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012.

Note 9 – Long-Term Debt

At second quarter-end 2011, our long-term debt was $733 million, which included $130 million of 7.875% Senior Notes that are due May 2012 and a $25 million borrowing under committed credit facilities which is due August 2011.  We have classified these borrowings as long-term debt because of our intent and ability to refinance them on a long-term basis under our existing facilities.

Note 10 – Financial Assets and Nonrecourse Financial Liabilities of Special Purpose Entities

In 2009, we arranged for the substitution of two banks issuing letters of credit securing the notes we received in connection with the 2007 sale of our timberland.  In each case, the credit ratings of the letter of credit bank had been reduced below the required minimums.  In first six months 2010, we entered into two separate three-year agreements, one with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association and one with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole), whereby each of these banks agrees to issue up to $1.4 billion in irrevocable letters of credit in substitution for letters of credit issued by a bank(s) whose credit ratings get reduced below the required minimums.  For each agreement, we paid an upfront fee, which is being amortized over the three-year term of the agreement, and also agreed to pay a quarterly fee on the unused commitment.

On May 20, 2011, the credit ratings of Crédit Agricole were downgraded below the required minimum to issue letters of credit to secure the notes related to the sale of our timberland.  As a result, we terminated our three-year agreement with Crédit Agricole and were refunded a pro-rata portion of the unamortized upfront commitment fee and quarterly fee on the unused commitment.

TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



In second quarter 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Temple-Inland common stock.  The Rights initially trade with, and are inseparable from, our common stock.  New Rights will accompany any new shares of common stock issued.  If a person or group acquires ten percent or more of our outstanding common stock, each Right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price, a number of our common shares having a market value of twice the exercise price.  In addition, if Temple-Inland is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a person has acquired ten percent of more of our outstanding common stock, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price, a number of acquiring company’s common shares having a market value of twice the exercise price.  The acquiring person will not be entitled to exercise the Rights.  Prior to exercise, the Rights do not give the holder any dividend, voting, or liquidation rights.  We will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right at any time before a person or group obtains beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of our common stock.  The Rights Plan should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors.   The Rights will expire on June 7, 2016.

Note 12 – Segment Information

We have two business segments: corrugated packaging and building products.  Corrugated packaging manufactures linerboard and corrugating medium (collectively referred to as containerboard), which we convert into corrugated packaging, and lightweight gypsum facing paper.  Building products manufactures a variety of building products.

We evaluate performance based on operating income before items not included in segments and income taxes.  Items not included in segments represent items managed on a company-wide basis and include corporate general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, other operating and non-operating income (expense), and interest income and expense.  Other operating income (expense) includes gain or loss on sale of assets, asset impairments, closure related severance costs, and unusual income and expense items.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy notes to the financial statements.  Intersegment sales are recorded at market prices.  Intersegment sales and shared service expense allocations are netted in costs and expenses.

Level 2 – Market Approach

Differences between carrying value and fair value are primarily due to instruments that provide fixed interest rates or contain fixed interest rate elements.  Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to subsequent movements in interest rates.  We excluded financial instruments from the table that are either carried at fair value or have fair values that approximate their carrying amount due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

Note 14 – Contingencies and Other

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses.  Expenses related to litigation are included in operating income.

On September 9, 2010, we were one of eight containerboard producers named as defendants in a class action complaint that alleged a civil violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.  The suit is captioned Kleen Products LLC v. Packaging Corp. of America (N.D. Ill.).  The complaint alleges that the defendants, beginning in August 2005, conspired to limit the supply and thereby increase prices of containerboard products.  The alleged class is all persons who purchased containerboard products directly from any defendant for use or delivery in the United States during the period August 2005 to November 2010.  The complaint seeks to recover an unspecified amount of treble actual damages and attorney’s fees on behalf of the purported class.  Four similar complaints were filed and have been consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois.  We strongly dispute the allegations made against us and intend to defend vigorously against this litigation.  However, because this action is in its preliminary stages, we are unable to predict an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible loss.  There were no significant changes to the status of this litigation in first six months 2011.

Two putative class action lawsuits (the “Shareholder Actions”) have been filed by stockholders against us and the members of our board of directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery, styled Raul vs. Doyle R. Simons, et al., Case No. 6690 (filed July 22, 2011) (the “Raul Action”); and Kahn v. Temple-Inland, Inc., et al., Case No. 6702

TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


(filed July 25, 2011) (the “Kahn Action”).  The Shareholder Actions allege, among other things, that the members of our board of directors have breached their fiduciary duties by refusing to negotiate with IP regarding its proposed acquisition, failing to solicit alternative offers, and adopting the Rights Plan.  The Raul Action also purports to assert claims derivatively on behalf of the company.  The complaints variously seek an order declaring that our board of directors breached its fiduciary duties; enjoining the company from initiating further defensive measures; and awarding costs and attorneys’ fees, and in the Kahn action, compensatory damages.  We and our directors believe that the claims made by the stockholder plaintiffs are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.  Please read Note 3 for additional information.

In second quarter 2011, we reversed $3 million in litigation reserves related to alleged violations of the California on duty meal break laws.  This reversal was based on the settlement of existing cases, a review of our operational practices, and an examination of the statute of limitations.
 
 
We do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters should have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows.  It is possible however that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

Note 15 – Subsequent Event

On August 5, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share payable on September 15, 2011.

 Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “likely,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar expressions, including references to assumptions.  These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties.  A variety of factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors and uncertainties that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
 
·  
general economic, market, or business conditions
 
·  
the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and that we may pursue
 
·  
fluctuations in costs and expenses including the costs of  raw materials, purchased energy, and freight
 
·  
changes in interest rates
 
·  
demand for new housing
 
·  
accuracy of accounting assumptions related to impaired assets, pension and postretirement costs, contingency reserves, and income taxes
 
·  
competitive actions by other companies
 
·  
changes in laws or regulations
 
·  
our ability to execute certain strategic and business improvement initiatives
 
·  
the accuracy of certain judgments and estimates concerning the integration of acquired operations
 
·  
future events related to IP’s unsolicited tender offer for all outstanding shares of our common stock
 
·  
other factors, many of which are beyond our control
 

Our actual results, performance, or achievement probably will differ from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, and accordingly, we can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on our results of operations or financial condition.  In view of these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect the occurrence of events after the date of this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Return on investment (ROI) is an important internal measure for us because it is a key component of our evaluation of overall performance and the performance of our business segments.  Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between shareholder value and ROI and that shareholder value is created when ROI exceeds the cost of capital.  ROI allows us to evaluate our performance on a consistent basis as the amount we earn relative to the amount invested in our business segments.  A significant portion of senior management’s compensation is based on achieving ROI targets.

In evaluating overall performance, we define ROI as total segment operating income, less general and administrative expenses and share-based and long-term incentive compensation not included in segments, divided by total assets, less certain assets and certain current liabilities.  We do not believe there is a comparable GAAP financial measure to our definition of ROI.  The reconciliation of our ROI calculation to amounts reported under GAAP is included in a later section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Despite its importance to us, ROI is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized definition and as a result may not be comparable with other companies’ measures using the same or similar terms.  Also there may be limits in the usefulness of ROI to investors.  As a result, we encourage you to read our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Estimates

In first six months 2011, there were no changes in our critical accounting estimates from those we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We have evaluated all the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and believe that none of these recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our earnings or financial position.

Box Plant Transformation II

In February 2010, we announced Box Plant Transformation II, the second phase of our initiative to lower the cost structure of our box plant system through improved asset utilization.  Box Plant Transformation II includes installing state-of-the-art equipment that also improves our ability to serve higher margin segments of the market.  We anticipate completing Box Plant Transformation II in 2012, resulting in the closure of up to 12 box plants and the elimination of as many as 900 employee positions.  The capital investment for Box Plant Transformation II is estimated to be about $250 million, which we will likely fund from operations or borrowings under our committed credit agreements.

The initial steps in effecting Box Plant Transformation II in 2010 were closing our Santa Fe Springs, California sheet plant and our Phoenix, Arizona; Evansville, Indiana; and Scranton, Pennsylvania box plants.  In second quarter 2011, we completed the previously announced closures of our Carol Stream and Northlake, Illinois box plants, and began production at our new box plant in Aurora, Illinois.  In first six months 2011, we recognized non-cash asset impairment charges of $2 million, severance and other employee costs of $1 million for about 120 employees, and other transformation related costs of $13 million, primarily related to duplicate and incremental costs associated with production affected by box plant transformation.  As we continue to refine and implement Box Plant Transformation II, it is likely we will incur additional asset impairments, severance and other costs, which could be significant.

Unsolicited Tender Offer

On June 6, 2011, IP made public an unsolicited proposal to acquire all our outstanding shares of common stock for $30.60 per share in cash.  After careful consideration with our independent financial and legal advisors, our Board of Directors determined unanimously that IP’s proposal grossly undervalued Temple-Inland and was not in the best interests of our stockholders and voted unanimously to reject IP’s proposal.  On July 12, 2011, IP commenced an unsolicited tender offer to acquire all our outstanding shares of common stock for $30.60 per share in cash.  Our Board of Directors, after careful consideration with our independent financial and legal advisors, again unanimously voted to reject IP’s tender offer.  Our Board of Directors unanimously believes that IP’s offer grossly undervalues Temple-Inland and is not in the best interests of our stockholders.  On July 18, 2011, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 detailing the recommendation of our Board of Directors in response to IP’s tender offer and the reasons it rejected the offer.

On June 7, 2011, after careful consideration and consultation with our independent financial and legal advisors, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (Rights Plan) and declared a dividend of one preferred purchase right (Right) for each outstanding share of our common stock.  The Rights Plan is designed to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics.  In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our Board of Directors.  The Rights Plan should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors.

In connection with these matters, in second quarter 2011, we expensed $2 million of professional fees and other costs, and we committed to minimum financial advisor fees of $20 million, which we anticipate expensing over a one year period as services are rendered.  We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with IP’s unsolicited tender offer.

In first six months 2011, significant items affecting net income included:

·  
In corrugated packaging, higher box prices and benefits from box plant transformation more than offset higher input costs compared with first six months 2010.  In building products, higher lumber and particleboard volumes were offset by lower lumber prices and higher input costs compared with first six months 2010.
 
·  
Other operating income (expense) includes a $16 million charge primarily related to Box Plant Transformation II, a $3 million credit due to the reversal of a litigation reserve related to alleged violations of the California on duty meal break laws, and $2 million in costs related to an unsolicited tender offer.
 
·  
Share-based and long-term incentive compensation increased $25 million compared with first six months 2010, primarily due to the effect of the higher market price of our common stock on our cash-settled awards.
 

 
19

 
 
·  
We recognized a loss of $4 million related to the purchase and retirement of $50 million of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012.

In first six months 2010, significant items affecting net income included:

·  
We experienced lower prices and flat volumes on an average week basis for our corrugated packaging products compared with first six months 2009.  We also experienced higher prices for lumber and MDF, lower prices for gypsum wallboard and particleboard, and higher volumes for gypsum wallboard, particleboard and MDF.
 
·  
A significant increase in input costs, principally recycled fiber, wood fiber and freight, more than offset our continuing initiatives to lower costs, improve asset utilization, and increase operating efficiencies.
 
·  
Share-based and long-term incentive compensation decreased $12 million compared with first six months 2009 primarily due to the effect of the lower market price of our common stock on our cash-settled awards.
 
·  
Other operating income (expense) included a $12 million charge associated with facility closures related to Box Plant Transformation II and a $10 million benefit related to alternative fuel mixture tax credits.
 
·  
We recognized a one-time income tax expense of $3 million related to the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy program.
 
Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic conditions including changes in energy costs, interest rates, new housing starts, home repair and remodeling activities, and the strength of the U.S. dollar.  Given the commodity nature of our manufactured products, we have little control over market pricing or market demand.

Corrugated Packaging

We manufacture linerboard, corrugating medium, and white-top linerboard (collectively referred to as containerboard) that we convert into corrugated packaging.  Our corrugated packaging segment revenues are principally derived from the sale of corrugated packaging products and, to a lesser degree, from the sale of containerboard and lightweight gypsum facing paper (collectively referred to as paperboard).

(a) Source: Fibre Box Association

Compared with first quarter 2011, average corrugated packaging prices were down slightly, and average shipments were up four percent.  For the same period, average paperboard prices were down three percent and shipments were up 15,000 tons.

Costs and expenses were up three percent in first six months 2011 when compared with first six months 2010, and four percent compared with first quarter 2011.  These increased costs were primarily the result of higher prices for recycled fiber, freight, and chemicals.  In addition, first six months 2011 costs included $3 million of additional pension expense resulting from lump-sum payments from our supplemental defined benefit plan for employees who retired in second quarter 2011.

Building Products

We manufacture lumber, gypsum wallboard, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), and fiberboard. Our building products segment revenues are principally derived from sales of these products.  We also own a 50 percent interest in Del-Tin Fiber LLC, a joint venture that produces MDF at a facility in El Dorado, Arkansas.

The costs of our fiber, energy, chemicals, and freight fluctuate based on the market prices we pay for these commodities.  It is likely that these costs will continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2011.

In recent years we have periodically reduced our production to match our supply with the demand for our products.

Items Not Included in Segments

Items not included in segments are income and expenses that are managed on a company-wide basis and include corporate general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, other operating and non-operating income (expense), and interest income and expense.

Our share-based and long-term incentive compensation fluctuates because a significant portion of our share-based awards are cash settled and are affected by changes in the market price of our common stock.  Share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense increased $25 million in first six months 2011 when compared with first six months of 2010 primarily due to the increase in the market price of our common stock at second quarter-end 2011 compared with the market price at the end of the prior year.  In addition, a significant portion of our share-based awards vest based on the attainment of stated ROI-based performance goals, generally measured over a three-year period.  Changes in our estimate of the attainment of these goals could have a significant impact on our share-based compensation expense in any one accounting period.  Please read Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the implementation of Box Plant Transformation II, we incurred $16 million of charges in first six months 2011, including $2 million of non-cash impairments, $1 million of severance and $13 million of other costs, primarily related to duplicate and incremental costs associated with production affected by box plant transformation.  Please read Box Plant Transformation II.  Other operating income (expense) also includes a $3 million credit due to the reversal of a litigation reserve related to alleged violations of the California on duty meal break laws.  This reversal was based on the settlement of existing cases, a review of our operational practices, and an examination of the statute of limitations.  In addition, we expensed $2 million in professional fees and other costs in connection with IP’s unsolicited offer to acquire all our outstanding common stock.  Please read Unsolicited Tender Offer.

Other non-operating income (expense) for first six months 2011 consists of a loss of $4 million resulting from the purchase and retirement of $50 million of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012.

Net interest income (expense) on financial assets and nonrecourse liabilities of special purpose entities relates to the activities of the special purpose entities created to effect the sale of our timberland in October 2007 and their subsequent nonrecourse borrowings in December 2007.  At second quarter-end 2011 and 2010, the interest rate on our financial assets was 0.31 percent and 0.38 percent and the interest rate on our nonrecourse financial liabilities was 0.81 percent and 0.92 percent.  These interest rates are variable and are based on different indices and, therefore, may not always reflect the same spread.  The change in net interest income (expense) in first six months 2011 compared with first six months 2010 is due to the lower interest rate spread and amortization of costs related to two separate agreements (Stand-by Agreements) executed in first quarter 2010, one with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association and one with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole).  The Stand-by Agreements commit each of these banks to issue up to $1.4 billion in irrevocable letters of credit in substitution for letters of credit issued by a bank(s) whose credit ratings get reduced below the required minimums.

On May 20, 2011, the credit ratings of Crédit Agricole were downgraded below the required minimum to issue letters of credit to secure the notes related to the sale of our timberland.  As a result, we terminated the Stand-by Agreement with Crédit Agricole and were refunded a pro-rata portion of the unamortized upfront commitment fee and quarterly fee on the unused commitment.

The reduction in interest expense on debt in first six months 2011 compared with first six months 2010 was primarily due to the purchase and retirement of $16 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2012 in fourth quarter 2010 and $50 million of these notes in first quarter 2011.  On May 27, 2011, Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (Moody’s) upgraded our long-term debt rating to Baa3, which resulted in a decrease of 25 basis points in the interest rates on our Senior Notes due 2016 and Senior Notes due 2018 and ten basis points in fees on our committed credit agreements.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 37 percent in second quarter 2011 and 39 percent in first six months 2011, compared with 38 percent in second quarter 2010 and 37 percent in first six months 2010 after excluding the impact of a one-time income tax charge of $3 million related to Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy program.  Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate are due to state income taxes, nondeductible items, the domestic production activities deduction, and deferred taxes on unremitted foreign income.

Average Shares Outstanding

The increase in average shares outstanding in second quarter 2011 and first six months 2011 was due to shares issued to employees exercising options.  The increase in average diluted shares outstanding in second quarter 2011 and first six months 2011 was due to the increase in the dilutive effect of stock options as a result of our higher share price.

Capital Resources and Liquidity for First Six Months 2011

Sources and Uses of Cash

We operate in cyclical industries and our operating cash flows vary accordingly.  Our principal operating cash requirements are for compensation, wood and recycled fiber, energy, interest, and taxes.  Working capital is subject to cyclical operating needs, the timing of collection of receivables and the payment of payables and expenses and, to a lesser extent, to seasonal fluctuations in our operations.

_____________
  (a)
  Includes $15 million of voluntary, discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit plan.
  (b)
  Includes $14 million of alternative fuel mixture tax credits that were accrued at year-end 2009.

Our cash from operations in first six months 2011 increased compared with first six months 2010, primarily due to higher earnings and non-cash share-based and long-term incentive compensation and lower cash contributions to our defined benefit plan.  These increases were offset by slightly higher working capital needs after adjusting for the $14 million of alternative fuel mixture credits received in first quarter 2010 that were accrued at year-end 2009.

We issued 698,187 and 390,808 shares of common stock in first six months 2011 and 2010 to employees exercising options and for vesting of share-settled units.  We paid cash dividends to shareholders of $0.26 per share in first six months 2011 and $0.22 per share in first six months 2010.  On August 5, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.13 per share payable on September 15, 2011.

Our increase in capital expenditures in first six months 2011 compared with first six months 2010, was primarily related to Box Plant Transformation II.  Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $225 million to $235 million in 2011, a significant portion of which is related to Box Plant Transformation II.

Liquidity

Credit Agreements

Our sources of short-term funding are our operating cash flows and borrowings under our committed credit agreements and accounts receivable securitization facility.  At second quarter-end 2011, we had a total of $712 million in unused borrowing capacity under our committed credit agreements and accounts receivable securitization facility.

Our committed credit agreements total $710 million and include a $600 million revolving credit facility that matures in June 2014 and $110 million of other committed credit agreements that mature from 2011 to 2014.  At second quarter-end 2011, we had $5 million of letter of credit usage under our revolving credit facility and $25 million of borrowings outstanding under our other committed credit agreements.

Our accounts receivable securitization facility expires in 2013.  At second quarter-end 2011, our borrowing base for this facility, which is determined by the level of our trade receivables, was $250 million, the maximum committed amount of the facility.

Our unused borrowing capacity in second quarter 2011 ranged from a high of $712 million to a low of $660 million.  The fluctuating unused capacity results primarily from activity on our accounts receivable securitization facility.  This facility is used primarily to fund our operating cash needs, which fluctuates due to timing of collection of receivables, payment of payables and expenses, capital expenditures, and dividends, and to a lesser extent, to seasonal fluctuations in our operations.  In addition, on May 27, 2011, Moody’s upgraded our long-term debt rating to Baa3, which allowed us in June 2011 to terminate $11 million of letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility.  We currently anticipate funding the maturity of $25 million of borrowings outstanding under our other committed credit agreements due August 2011 and $130 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due May 2012 with borrowings under our existing credit agreements.

Our debt agreements, accounts receivable securitization facility, and credit agreements contain terms, conditions, and financial covenants customary for such agreements, including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage.  We are currently in compliance with these covenants and do not currently anticipate any change in circumstances that would impair our ability to continue to comply with these covenants.

We believe that our unused borrowing capacity along with our existing cash and cash equivalents and expected cash flows from operations will provide us sufficient funds to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.  In light of the current conditions in financial markets, we closely monitor the banks in our credit facilities.  To date, we have experienced no difficulty in borrowing under the facilities and have not received any indications that any of the participating banks would not be able to honor their commitments under these facilities.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At second quarter-end 2011, there were no significant changes in off-balance sheet arrangements from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

 
25

 


Pension and Postretirement Matters

Due to credit balances we have accumulated from our voluntary, discretionary contributions in prior years, we anticipate having no funding requirement under ERISA in 2011.

Energy

Energy costs were $151 million in first six months 2011 compared with $152 million in first six months 2010.  Our energy costs fluctuate based on the market prices we pay for these commodities and on the amount and mix of fuels we may use.  We continue to reduce our dependency on natural gas.  We hedge very little of our energy needs.  It is likely that these costs will continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2011.

Litigation, Contingencies, and Related Matters

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses.  Since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010, there have been no material developments in pending legal proceedings other than as disclosed in Part II, Item 1 of this report.

 Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate exposure is primarily related to our variable-rate, long-term debt and to the financial assets and nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities.  This exposure is the result of changes in interest rates and also the use of different base rates and the timing of the quarterly interest rate resets on the financial assets and nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities.

In first six months 2011, there were no significant changes in interest rate risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

Foreign Currency Risk

In first six months 2011, there were no significant changes in foreign currency risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

Commodity Price Risk

In first six months 2011, there were no significant changes in commodity price risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

Since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010, there have been no material developments in pending legal proceedings other than as set forth below.

We have previously disclosed that at the end of 2007, we spun off Guaranty Financial Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank; in August 2009, regulators closed Guaranty Bank and Guaranty Financial Group filed for bankruptcy; and in 2010, we voluntarily produced documents pursuant to the FDIC’s investigation of the acts of the former officers and directors of Guaranty Bank in connection with its failure.

In the Second Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for Guaranty Financial Group, all rights of action that may exist against us, other than certain claims retained by the FDIC, were assigned to the liquidating trustee.  The liquidating trustee is currently investigating whether it may have any such claims against us, our current and former officers and directors, or professional firms that advised us in connection with the spin-off.

While we are not aware of any claims being filed against us in connection with Guaranty Bank’s failure, the liquidating trustee may file a claim against us, our current and former officers and directors, or professional firms that advised us in connection with the spin-off at the conclusion of its investigation.  As a result of the process we followed in connection with the spin-off, we do not believe that we would have any liability related to the spin-off of Guaranty Financial Group.

Two putative class action lawsuits (the “Shareholder Actions”) have been filed by stockholders against us and the members of our board of directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery, styled Raul vs. Doyle R. Simons, et al., Case No. 6690 (filed July 22, 2011) (the “Raul Action”); and Kahn v. Temple-Inland, Inc., et al., Case No. 6702 (filed July 25, 2011) (the “Kahn Action”).  The Shareholder Actions allege, among other things, that the members of our board of directors have breached their fiduciary duties by refusing to negotiate with IP regarding its proposed acquisition, failing to solicit alternative offers, and adopting the Rights Plan.  The Raul Action also purports to assert claims derivatively on behalf of the company.  The complaints variously seek an order declaring that our board of directors breached its fiduciary duties; enjoining the company from initiating further defensive measures; and awarding costs and attorneys’ fees, and in the Kahn action, compensatory damages.  We and our directors believe that the claims made by the stockholder plaintiffs are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2010, except as set forth below:

We are subject to risks relating to an unsolicited tender offer.
 
In June 2011, International Paper Company (IP) made public an unsolicited proposal to acquire Temple-Inland and in July 2011 commenced a tender offer to acquire all our outstanding shares.  After careful consideration with our independent financial and legal advisors, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to reject IP’s tender offer.  Our Board of Directors unanimously believes that IP’s offer grossly undervalues Temple-Inland and is not in the best interests of our stockholders. While this tender offer is ongoing, we face certain risks to our business and prospects, including incurring significant legal and related costs, diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, a loss of key personnel, disruption of our operations, and the effect of any related litigation that has been or may be filed.
