Sample article from our Forestry & Timberland

SEATTLE , July 27, 2023 (press release) –

  • Achieved net earnings of $230 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and net earnings before special items of $238 million, or $0.32 per diluted share
  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $469 million, a 19 percent increase compared with first quarter 2023
  • Completed strategic timberlands acquisition in Mississippi in July 2023

Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported second quarter net earnings of $230 million, or 31 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2.0 billion. This compares with net earnings of $788 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, on net sales of $3.0 billion for the same period last year and net earnings of $151 million for first quarter 2023. Excluding an after-tax charge of $8 million for special items, the company reported second quarter net earnings of $238 million, or 32 cents per diluted share. There were no special items in second quarter 2022 or first quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2023 was $469 million compared with $1.2 billion for the same period last year and $395 million for first quarter 2023.

In July, Weyerhaeuser acquired 22 thousand acres of timberlands in Mississippi for approximately $60 million. These highly productive timberlands are strategically located to deliver immediate synergies with existing Weyerhaeuser operations and offer incremental real estate and natural climate solutions opportunities. 

"In the second quarter, our teams delivered solid results across each of our businesses," said Devin W. Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we continue to make meaningful progress towards our multi-year growth targets with the recent acquisition of high-quality timberlands in Mississippi. Looking forward, we are encouraged by recent improvements in the housing market, and maintain a favorable longer-term outlook for the demand fundamentals that will drive growth for our businesses. Our financial position is exceptionally strong, and we remain focused on delivering operational excellence across our unmatched portfolio of assets and enhancing shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation."

Net earnings before special items is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides helpful context in understanding the company's earnings performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results. Reconciliations of net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP earnings are included within this release.

(2)

Second quarter 2023 after-tax special items include an $8 million noncash environmental remediation charge. Special items for prior periods presented are included in the reconciliation tables within this release.

(3)

Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD) is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the company's liquidity. Adjusted FAD, as we define it, is net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items. Adjusted FAD measures cash generated during the period (net of capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items) that is available for dividends, repurchases of common shares, debt reduction, acquisitions, and other discretionary and nondiscretionary capital allocation activities. Adjusted FAD should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted FAD to net cash from operations is included within this release.

Q2 2023 Performance – In the West, fee harvest volumes were slightly higher than the first quarter. Export sales realizations were lower, while domestic sales realizations were comparable. Sales volumes to China were significantly lower and domestic sales volumes were significantly higher as the company intentionally flexed logs to domestic customers to capture higher margin opportunities. Per unit log and haul costs were lower. In the South, fee harvest volumes were comparable, while sales realizations and per unit log and haul costs were slightly lower. Forestry and road costs in the West and South were seasonally higher.

Q3 2023 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be approximately $25 million lower than the second quarter. In the West, the company expects fee harvest volumes and sales realizations to be moderately lower, partially offset by improved per unit log and haul costs. In the South, sales realizations are expected to be slightly lower, while fee harvest volumes and per unit log and haul costs are expected to be comparable. The company expects forestry and road costs in the West and South to be seasonally higher.

Q2 2023 Performance – Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the first quarter due to lower real estate sales. The number of acres sold decreased significantly due to the timing of transactions. The average price per acre was significantly higher and the average basis as a percentage of sales was significantly lower due to the mix of properties sold. 

Q3 2023 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings will be slightly higher than the second quarter and Adjusted EBITDA will be approximately $20 million higher than the second quarter due to the timing and mix of real estate sales. The company still expects full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $300 million and now expects basis as a percentage of real estate sales to be 35 to 40 percent for the full year.

Q2 2023 Performance – Sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board increased 6 percent and 11 percent, respectively, compared with first quarter averages. Sales volumes for lumber were moderately higher and log costs were slightly lower, primarily for western logs. Unit manufacturing costs were slightly higher. For oriented strand board, sales and production volumes were moderately lower and unit manufacturing costs were moderately higher due to planned downtime for annual maintenance as well as a temporary period of unplanned downtime resulting from wildfire activity near the company's facility in Alberta. Fiber costs were slightly lower. Sales and production volumes were significantly higher for most engineered wood products, driven by improving demand from the homebuilding segment. Unit manufacturing costs were significantly lower for solid section and I-joist products, and raw material costs were lower for all products. Sales realizations were lower for most engineered wood products. Distribution results were significantly higher due to strong sales volumes for engineered wood products.

Q3 2023 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly higher than the second quarter due to higher average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board. Excluding the effect of those items, the company expects third quarter financial results will be slightly lower than the second quarter. For lumber, the company expects moderately higher sales volumes, moderately lower log costs and slightly lower unit manufacturing costs. For oriented strand board, the company anticipates comparable sales volumes and fiber costs and slightly higher unit manufacturing costs. For engineered wood products, the company expects slightly higher sales volumes, slightly lower sales realizations and higher raw material costs, primarily for oriented strand board webstock.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results.
