Q1 2021 Performance – In the West, average export log sales realizations increased from the fourth quarter, and the company shifted volume to the export market to serve higher Japanese demand. Average domestic log sales realizations were slightly lower, as salvage operations resulted in a greater mix of smaller diameter logs. Log and haul costs were higher due to increased salvage activity, and forestry expenses were seasonally lower. In the South, average sales realizations for sawlogs and fiber logs improved from the fourth quarter, while fee harvest volumes were slightly lower due to severe winter weather. Forestry and road expenses decreased seasonally.
Q2 2021 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser expects second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be comparable to the first quarter. In the West, the company anticipates significantly higher fee harvest volumes will be offset by seasonally higher forestry and road expenses. In the South, the company expects significantly higher fee harvest volumes and comparable average sales realizations, partially offset by seasonally higher forestry and road expenses. In the North, fee harvest volumes will decrease significantly due to spring break-up.

Q1 2021 Performance – Real estate sales increased compared with the fourth quarter due to a significantly higher number of acres sold. Average price per acre and average land basis decreased due to the mix of properties sold.
Q2 2021 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be moderately lower than first quarter 2021 due to the timing of real estate transactions. The company continues to expect full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA for the segment will be approximately $255 million.

Q1 2021 Performance – Benchmark prices for lumber and oriented strand board reached new record levels in the first quarter, and average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board increased 42 percent and 22 percent, respectively, compared with fourth quarter averages. Average realizations for engineered wood products also improved as the company captured the benefit of previously announced price increases. These improvements were partially offset by higher raw material costs, primarily for Canadian logs and oriented strand board webstock. Operating rates in lumber and engineered wood products decreased slightly as a result of weather-related downtime in the U.S. South. Lumber sales volumes were modestly lower as customer takeaway and supply chains were temporarily disrupted following the severe winter weather.
Q2 2021 Outlook – Excluding the effect of changes in average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board, the company expects second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly higher than the first quarter. The company anticipates higher sales volumes for lumber and increased sales realizations for engineered wood products will be partially offset by higher raw material costs, primarily for oriented strand board webstock, and lower operating rates for oriented strand board due to planned maintenance outages. To date, second quarter benchmark pricing for lumber and oriented strand board is significantly higher than the first quarter average.

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. |
