NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE QUARTERS AND YEAR-TO-DATE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we,” “the company” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. These quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

 

NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are principally engaged in growing and harvesting timber; manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees; maximizing the value of every acre we own through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties; and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties. Our business segments are categorized based primarily on products and services which include:

Timberlands – Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products;

Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) – Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas, and wind and solar resources) and

Wood Products – Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution.

A reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

$1.37 during second quarter 2021 and $2.28 during year-to-date 2021;

$0.10 during second quarter 2020 and $0.30 during year-to-date 2020.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

NOTE 6: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic timberlands. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and monetization variable interest entities, or special purpose entities (SPEs), were formed. We were the primary beneficiary and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions.

The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs were financial investments which consisted of bank guarantees. These bank guarantees were in turn backed by bank notes, which were the liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs was used to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization SPE’s note.

During first quarter 2020, we received $362 million in proceeds from our final buyer-sponsored SPE at maturity. The corresponding $302 million in liabilities of this SPE was paid in third quarter 2019.

Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets and Obligations

In our year-end reporting process, we estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon the information available at that time. For certain assets, primarily private equity funds, the information available consists of net asset values as of an interim date, cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year and market events. We update the year-end estimated fair value of pension plan assets in the second quarter of each year to incorporate final net asset values reflected in financial statements received after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During second quarter 2021, we recorded an increase to the beginning of the year fair value of the pension assets of $155 million, or 5 percent. We also updated our census data that is used to estimate our beginning of the year projected benefit obligation for our pension plans, which resulted in a projected benefit obligation increase of $17 million, or less than 1 percent. The net effect of these updates was a $138 million improvement in funded status. This change in funded status was reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021.

NOTE 9: LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

In May 2021, we repaid our $225 million variable-rate term loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026.  

In March 2020, we issued $750 million of 4.00 percent notes due in April 2030. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $732 million. In May 2020, a portion of the net proceeds was used to redeem our $569 million 4.70 percent notes due in March 2021. A net pretax charge of $11 million was included in “Interest expense, net of capitalized interest” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in second quarter 2020 for the make-whole premium in connection with the early extinguishment of the $569 million notes, partially offset by the write-off of an unamortized fair value step-up adjustment.

In January 2020, we refinanced and extended our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2025. Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending banks. We had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

 

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values and carrying values of our long-term debt and line of credit consisted of the following:

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt, we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

 

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Environmental Matters

Site Remediation

Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – commonly known as the “Superfund” – and similar state laws, we:

are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and

have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated.

As of June 30, 2021, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $58 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 14: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145,000 acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington. On July 7, 2021, we completed the sale for $261 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. This transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange along with the Alabama acquisition discussed below. As a result of the sale, a gain of approximately $30 million will be recorded in the Timberlands segment in our third quarter 2021 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

This divestiture is not considered a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore does not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations. However, the related assets have met the relevant criteria to be classified as held for sale in the current period Consolidated Balance Sheet. The designation as held for sale requires us to record the related net assets at the lower of their current cost basis or fair value, less an amount of estimated selling costs. This classification does not affect the presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The held for sale classification did change the presentation of the related assets from long-term to current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of June 30, 2021, “Assets held for sale” had a balance of $229 million, which consisted primarily of timberlands and other related assets.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021 and recorded $148 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $1 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As discussed above, this transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange, and therefore, the southwest Alabama timberlands were held on our behalf by an intermediary as of June 30, 2021.

Montana Divestiture

On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale.

The divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings.

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:

 

Sales realizations for Timberlands and Wood Products refer to net selling prices. This includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. Real Estate transactions are presented at the contract sales price before commissions and closing costs, net of any credits.

Net contribution (charge) to earnings does not include interest expense or income taxes.

 

ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS

 

Overview

In March 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, and a national emergency was declared by the United States. The immediate economic effects of the pandemic were severe, as U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) declined 31 percent in the second quarter of 2020 and the national unemployment rate soared to a record-high of nearly 15 percent in April 2020 driven by the restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic. Since that time the unemployment rate has fallen steadily, and U.S. GDP has rebounded significantly as states have continued to reopen their economies and loosen restrictions. Although market conditions across our businesses deteriorated rapidly in late first quarter and early second quarter 2020, they quickly rebounded as demand for housing and wood products proved resilient. Growth in repair and remodel demand and new residential construction activity resulted in demand for wood products that significantly outpaced available supply, and benchmark pricing for our commodity wood products reached record levels. After declining briefly in the final months of 2020, benchmark prices for our commodity wood products rose sharply through May 2021 beyond the record levels established in the prior year. At the end of the second quarter, lumber prices had begun a substantial correction as demand and supply came into balance. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2021, our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy will continue to be influenced by the trajectory of U.S. housing activity, the ongoing pace of reopening economic activities due to COVID-related restrictions, inflation trends, interest rates, and the nature and extent of future government stimulus including the proposed infrastructure bill.

We have taken proactive steps to safeguard the health of our employees and preserve business continuity from the beginning of the pandemic. These actions included detailed cleaning and disinfecting procedures, strict processes around masking, social distancing and personal hygiene, clear communication with our employees, contractors, vendors and visitors about our safety protocols, comprehensive guidance for response to any COVID-19 diagnoses or exposures in our operations, suspension of all air travel and non-essential meetings, and a directive that employees work from home if feasible. In light of the recent adjustments to federal, state and local health and safety restrictions, we have begun a phased-in approach to return those employees who have been working from home back to their work locations. We remain vigilant about employee safety and will continue to monitor developments, including but not limited to the spread of disease variants and their impact on local health systems.

Business Outlook

The demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market, especially new residential construction, strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as does repair and remodeling activity. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., which in turn affects demand for our logs and wood products. In second quarter 2021, wet weather constrained harvest operations for producers in the U.S. South. Our Timberlands segment, specifically the Western region, is also affected by export demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the production of pulp, paper and oriented strand board (OSB) as well as the demand for biofuels, such as pellets made from pulpwood. The Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity is contributing to some tightening in the South.

On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for second quarter 2021 averaged 1.57 million units, which was 2 percent below first quarter 2021. Single family starts averaged 1.1 million units, a 4 percent decline from first quarter 2021 but a 43 percent improvement over second quarter 2020. Multi-family starts averaged 464 thousand units in second quarter 2021, which was 5 percent higher than first quarter 2021 and 49 percent higher than second quarter 2020. Sales of newly built, single family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 728 thousand units for second quarter 2021, a 19 percent decrease from the prior quarter average of 896 thousand units and a 4 percent increase from the second quarter 2020 average of 703 thousand units.

Repair and remodeling expenditures declined by 10 percent from March to June 2021 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. A decrease in do-it-yourself activity contributed to lower sales at home improvement centers offset in part by a transition to larger projects undertaken by professional contractors.

In U.S. wood product markets, demand for commodity products was strong during the first half of the second quarter, and benchmark pricing for lumber and OSB reached record highs as demand continued to outpace production capacity. As repair and remodeling demand fell, lumber prices declined. OSB, which is much more focused on new residential construction activity than repair and remodeling, had not seen similar price declines as lumber at the end of the quarter. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $1,260/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $1,373/MSF in second quarter 2021. At the end of the second quarter, prices were $770/MBF for the Lumber Composite and $1,501/MSF for the OSB composite. Through the end of July, lumber prices continued to fall, and OSB prices began to decline in the second half of July.   

In Western log markets, Douglas fir sawlog prices decreased 3 percent in second quarter 2021 compared with first quarter 2021 as reported by RISI Log Lines, in part a response to the recent decline in lumber prices. In the South, sawlog prices increased by 3 percent from first quarter 2021 as reported by TimberMart-South.

15


 

Exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During second quarter 2021, continued disruptions in shipping, diversion of European log and lumber supply to other markets, and curtailments on Australian log imports to China generally had a positive impact on China’s demand for logs imported from the U.S. In Japan, total housing starts increased 2.5 percent year to date through May compared to the same period in 2020, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 6 percent increase. Decreased lumber imports from Europe to Japan were favorable to our Japanese log export business.

The volume of real estate sales is a function of many factors, including the general state of the economy, demand in local real estate markets, the ability of buyers to obtain financing, the number of competing properties listed for sale, the seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the northern states), the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectation of future price appreciation, the timing of harvesting activities, and the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. In any period, the average sales price per acre will vary based on the location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.

 

Comparing Second Quarter 2021 with Second Quarter 2020

 

Net sales

 

Net sales increased $45 million – 69 percent – primarily due to an increase in the average price per real estate acre sold.

 

Costs of sales

 

Costs of sales increased $1 million – 3 percent – primarily due to increased basis per real estate acre sold, partially offset by decreased real estate acres sold.

 

Operating income and Net contribution to earnings

 

Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased $44 million – 232 percent – primarily due to the change in the components of gross margin, as discussed above.

Comparing Second Quarter 2021 with Second Quarter 2020

 

Net charge to earnings increased $66 million  – 367 percent – primarily due to:

a $46 million increase in elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO and

a $13 million increase in unallocated corporate function and variable compensation expense.

 

 

Comparing Year-to-Date 2021 with Year-to-Date 2020

 

Net charge to earnings increased $88 million – 144 percent – primarily due to:

a $50 million increase in elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO;

a $19 million increase in unallocated corporate function and variable compensation expense;

a $12 million legal benefit recognized in first quarter 2020 and

a $7 million increase in liability classified share-based compensation due to an increase in our stock price for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2021 compared to a decrease for the same period in 2020.

 

 

INTEREST EXPENSE

 

Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:

$78 million for second quarter 2021 and $157 million year-to-date 2021;

$103 million for second quarter 2020 and $188 million year-to-date 2020.

 

Interest expense decreased by $25 million compared to second quarter 2020 and by $31 million compared to year-to-date 2020. The decreases were primarily due to an $11 million charge related to the early extinguishment of debt recorded in second quarter 2020, with no similar activity in second quarter and year-to-date 2021, as well as a decrease in the average outstanding debt in second quarter and year-to-date 2021.

 

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

Our provision for income taxes was:

a $324 million expense for second quarter 2021 and a $513 million expense year-to-date 2021;

a $60 million expense for second quarter 2020 and a $57 million expense year-to-date 2020.

Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our TRSs. Income tax expense increased by $456 million compared to year-to-date 2020 primarily due to an increase in our TRS earnings in 2021.

 

Refer to Note 16: Income Taxes for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of June 30, 2021, we had over $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in January 2025. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

 

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated net cash from operations was:

$2,006 million for year-to-date 2021 and

$477 million for year-to-date 2020.

 

Net cash from operations increased $1,529 million, primarily due to:

increased cash inflows from our business segments and

decreased cash used for interest payments.

These changes were partially offset by a $262 million increase in cash paid for income taxes.

 

CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

 

Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:

$(273) million for year-to-date 2021 and

$376 million for year-to-date 2020.

 

Net cash from investing activities decreased $649 million, primarily due to:

a $362 million decrease in proceeds received from variable interest entities;

a $149 million increase in cash paid for timberlands acquisitions and

a $145 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of timberlands.

Net cash from financing activities decreased $102 million, primarily due to a $369 million increase in net cash used for payments on long-term debt.

This change was partially offset by:

a $230 million decrease in net cash paid related to borrowings on our line of credit and

a $39 million increase in cash received from exercise of stock options.

 

Line of Credit

 

We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. This credit facility expires in January 2025.

 

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

In May 2021, we repaid our $225 million variable-rate term loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026.

 

In March 2020, we issued $750 million of 4.00 percent notes due in April 2030. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $732 million. In May 2020, a portion of the net proceeds was used to redeem our $569 million 4.70 percent notes due in March 2021.

Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.

 

Our revolving credit agreement utilizes the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a basis for one of the interest rate options available to the company to apply to outstanding borrowings. Publication of USD LIBOR is expected to cease between January 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, and we are closely monitoring ongoing market developments in the identification or creation of a widely accepted replacement rate. We have included provisions in our revolving credit agreement that specifically contemplate the transition from LIBOR to a replacement benchmark rate.

 

Debt Covenants

 

As of June 30, 2021, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our existing long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.

 

Option Exercises

 

We received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of:

$45 million for year-to-date 2021 and

$6 million for year-to-date 2020.

 

Our average stock price was $35.60 and $23.24 for year-to-date 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Dividend Payments

 

We paid cash dividends on common shares of $255 million and $254 million for year-to-date 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Share Repurchases

 

We did not repurchase shares during year-to-date 2021 or 2020. There were no unsettled repurchases as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

 

 

 

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

 

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

 

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company and our business segments. This measure should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitates period to period comparisons and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items.

Net Earnings and Net Earnings per Diluted Share Before Special Items

 

We use net earnings before special items and net earnings per diluted share before special items as key performance measures to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company. These measures should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitate period to period comparisons and are widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties.

LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS OBLIGATIONS

The following summary of our long-term indebtedness obligations includes:

scheduled principal repayments for the next five years and after;

weighted average interest rates for debt maturing in each of the next five years and after and

estimated fair values of outstanding obligations.

We estimate the fair value of our debt instruments using quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt or on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021, based on an evaluation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of that date.
