As reflected in the table below, net income per diluted share, excluding special items, for fourth quarter 2006 is $0.73 per share, compared with $0.30 per share in fourth quarter 2005, and $0.93 per share in third quarter 2006.

     Corrugated Packaging operating income increased to $255 million in 2006 compared with $120 million in 2005.

     Corrugated Packaging operating income improved fourth quarter 2006 compared with fourth quarter 2005, principally due to higher corrugated container prices and lower energy costs. Operating income was flat fourth quarter 2006 compared with third quarter 2006 as higher corrugated container prices and lower recycled fiber costs were offset by lower box shipments and higher energy and freight costs.

     Shipments fourth quarter 2006 were down 6%, on a volume per workday basis, compared with fourth quarter 2005 primarily due to the previously-announced sale of Performance Sheets (a sheet feeder plant in City of Industry, California) August 2006. On a volume per workday basis, shipments of corrugated containers were essentially flat fourth quarter 2006 compared with third quarter 2006.

     Average prices for corrugated containers fourth quarter 2006 were up 13% compared with fourth quarter 2005 and up 2% compared with third quarter 2006. The average cost of recycled fiber fourth quarter 2006 was up 10% compared with fourth quarter 2005, but down 16% compared with third quarter 2006. Freight costs were up $2 million compared with fourth quarter 2005 and third quarter 2006. Energy costs were down $16 million fourth quarter 2006 compared with fourth quarter 2005, but up $3 million compared with third quarter 2006.

Comments

     In announcing fourth quarter and full year results, Kenneth M. Jastrow, II, chairman and chief executive officer of Temple-Inland Inc. said, “For the year 2006, Temple-Inland achieved record earnings of $3.32 per share, excluding special items, and return on investment of 15.9%, reflecting the benefit of our strategic initiatives and market conditions.

     In 2006 we returned approximately 10% of Temple-Inland’s average market capitalization to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. During fourth quarter 2006 we repurchased 2.2 million shares, bringing the total for the year to 7.9 million shares. In addition, on February 2, 2007 the Board of Directors approved an additional 5 million share repurchase authorization, representing approximately 5% of shares outstanding. Also, the Board increased the dividend 12% to $1.12 in 2007, the fifth consecutive year we have raised the dividend. We have paid a dividend every year since Temple-Inland became a public company.

     “In 2006, our containerboard mill system achieved record production, greater efficiency, and lower cost per ton. Despite the closure of eleven box plants since third quarter 2003, Temple-Inland’s box shipments were up 6% in 2006 compared with 2003, resulting in increased asset utilization and lower converting costs. Industry box shipments were up 5% during this same period. Since 2003, we have generated $225 million in business improvement, and we expect to generate an additional $75 million in business improvement in the future by focusing on manufacturing excellence within our box plant system and further operational efficiency in our containerboard mills.

     “Forest Products achieved record operating income in 2006, a third consecutive record year, reflecting the benefits from our focus on fiber integration, improved market conditions for gypsum and particleboard, and the acquisition of our partner’s interest in Standard Gypsum in January 2006.

     “Real Estate generated $62 million in operating income in 2006. During fourth quarter 2006, zoning was approved on 2,001 acres of our high-value land around Atlanta, GA, including 1,840 acres of residential property, representing 3,257 lots, and 161 acres for commercial use. During 2006, 4,890 acres of high-value land were transferred from undeveloped into the “in entitlement process” category.

     “Financial Services had record operating income in 2006, a third consecutive record year. Generating asset growth and remaining low cost continue to be the focus in Financial Services. Our retail branch network is located in Texas and California, the largest and fastest growing deposit markets in the country. In addition, multiple loan products and a nationwide lending platform provide the opportunity to grow earning assets.

     “For the year 2006, Temple-Inland achieved all-time record earnings and strong return on investment, reflecting the benefit of our strategic initiatives, improved market conditions and the dedication of all Temple-Inland employees to be the best.”

We have recast prior period results to reflect the classification of the new business segment, real estate. In addition, we have recast 2005 revenues to include gross real estate sales that had previously been reported net and certain other ancillary revenues previously reflected as a reduction of cost of sales.

(a) The adoption of SFAS 123(R) for 2006 stock awards resulted in the acceleration of $7 million in pre-tax share-based compensation expense ($0.04 per share after-tax) into first quarter 2006.

     Non-GAAP Financial Measure

     Net income excluding special items and net income per diluted share excluding special items are important measures for us and investors because they allow useful and consistent comparisons of on-going operations by excluding gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating results.

     We define special items to include discontinued operations, effects of accounting changes, and other items such as gains or losses on sales of non-strategic assets; asset impairments; and unusual income, expenses, and tax benefits or charges. The most comparable GAAP measures are net income and net income per diluted share.

     Despite their importance to us, net income excluding special items and net income per diluted share excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized definitions and as a result may not be comparable with other companies’ measures using the same or similar terms. This lack of comparability may limit the usefulness of these measures to us and investors. There may be other limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, we encourage you to read our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

(c)	Commercial acres are net developable acres, and may be fewer than the gross acres available in the project.
(d)	The Lantana project consists of a series of 19 partnerships in which our interests range from 25% to 55%. We account for eight of these partnerships in which our interests range from 25% to 50% using the equity method and we consolidate the remaining partnerships.
