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) |
First quarter 2022 after-tax special items include a loss on debt extinguishment of $207 million. 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. |

Q1 2022 Performance – In the West, fee harvest volumes were significantly higher than the fourth quarter and per unit log and haul costs were lower due to the seasonal transition to lower elevation harvest activity. Domestic sales realizations and sales volumes were significantly higher. Export sales realizations were significantly higher, driven by strong demand in Japan, while export sales volumes were significantly lower as the company shifted volume from China to the domestic market to capitalize on strong pricing. In the South, sales realizations for sawlogs and fiber logs were slightly higher, while fee harvest volumes were seasonally lower. Per unit log and haul costs were moderately higher, primarily due to fuel-related transportation costs. Forestry and road costs decreased seasonally.
Q2 2022 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly lower than the first quarter, but higher than any other quarter since fourth quarter 2018. In the West, the company expects comparable fee harvest volumes, slightly lower sales realizations, and significantly higher per unit log and haul costs. In the South, the company expects comparable sales realizations and moderately higher fee harvest volumes and per unit log and haul costs. Forestry and road costs will be seasonally higher.

Q1 2022 Performance – Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA increased from the fourth quarter due to higher real estate sales. The number of acres sold increased significantly due to the timing of transactions, and the average price per acre decreased due to the mix of properties sold.
Q2 2022 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings will be comparable to second quarter 2021 and Adjusted EBITDA will be slightly higher than second quarter 2021. The company expects the average basis as a percentage of sales and acres sold to be higher year over year.

Q1 2022 Performance – Sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board increased 76 percent and 61 percent, respectively, compared with fourth quarter averages. Production volumes for lumber were moderately higher due to less weather-related downtime and planned maintenance, while sales volumes were slightly lower as a result of ongoing transportation disruptions. Log costs were significantly higher, primarily for western logs. Production volumes for oriented strand board were slightly higher due to less planned maintenance, sales volumes were moderately higher, and fiber costs were significantly higher. Sales realizations for engineered wood products improved from the fourth quarter, which was partially offset by moderately higher raw material costs, primarily for oriented strand board webstock and resin. Distribution margins improved across all products.
Q2 2022 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be higher than the first quarter, excluding the effect of changes in average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board. The company expects significantly higher sales volumes for lumber, as well as moderately lower log costs and unit manufacturing costs. For oriented strand board, the company expects moderately higher sales volumes, comparable fiber costs, and slightly lower unit manufacturing costs. Engineered wood products production and sales volumes are expected to be significantly higher with comparable sales realizations, partially offset by significantly higher raw material costs, primarily for oriented strand board webstock. Distribution commodity product margins are expected to be significantly lower.

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. |
