Weyerhaeuser Reports 3rd Quarter Net Earnings of $101 Million, or 47 Cents per Diluted Share, on Sales of $4.1 Billion
PRNewswire-FirstCall
FEDERAL WAY, Wash.
Oct 31, 2007
Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported net earnings of $101 million for the third quarter of 2007, or 47 cents per diluted share, on sales of $4.1 billion.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040116/WYLOGO-a) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040116/WYLOGO-b) Third quarter 2007 earnings include the following after-tax items: * A charge of $17 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, for closures, restructuring and asset impairments in our Wood Products segment. * A charge of $17 million, or 8 cents per diluted share related to the restructuring of administrative functions, including a Canadian regional office, and one-time costs to transition to a new information technology provider. * A charge of $16 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, for the impairment of real estate assets; * A net gain of $26 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, related to legal settlements. * A gain of $7 million, or 3 cents per diluted share, on the sale of operations and previously closed plant sites.
Excluding these items, the company earned $118 million, or 55 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007.
Third quarter 2006 results have been recast to reflect the fine paper business and related assets included in the Domtar transaction as discontinued operations and to apply the new accounting pronouncement to expense planned major maintenance costs as incurred.
For third quarter 2006, Weyerhaeuser net earnings were $224 million, or 91 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $4.6 billion. Third quarter 2006 earnings include the following after-tax items:
* A gain of $31 million, or 13 cents per diluted share, from the sale of
the North American composites business.
* A gain of $15 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, due to a reduction
of the reserve for hardboard siding claims.
* A charge of $25 million, or 10 cents per diluted share, for the
additional impairment of assets related to the closure of the Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan facility and the write-off of additional goodwill
associated with the former BC Coastal business.
* A charge of $18 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, for asset
impairments and costs associated with facility closures or
curtailments, primarily in the Wood Products segment.
* A charge of $9 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, for impairment of
real estate assets.
* A charge of $6 million, or 2 cents per diluted share, related to the
previously announced acquisition of OrganicID, a research and
development company.
Excluding these items, the company earned $236 million, or 95 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2006.
SUMMARY OF THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
* Timberlands - The continued weakness in the wood products markets
resulted in lower log prices, but sales of non-strategic timberlands
increased.
* Wood Products - Demand for wood products continued to weaken.
* Cellulose Fibers - Prices continued to increase and productivity
improved.
* Containerboard Packaging and Recycling - Mill productivity improvements
and decreased annual scheduled maintenance downtime were partially
offset by seasonally-lower packaging shipments and higher costs for old
corrugated containers (OCC).
* Real Estate and Related Assets - Housing markets continued to decline.
Single-family closings increased seasonally and margins improved due to
mix.
"An already weak wood products market deteriorated further during the third quarter," said Steven R. Rogel, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We were adjusting our production to meet our reduced order level, but we took additional action in the quarter as demand and prices slid. We will continually adjust our operating posture as necessary to balance production with demand.
"Meanwhile, the work we've done to operate more efficiently resulted in improved mill productivity in our Cellulose Fibers and Containerboard Packaging businesses. We expect improved price realizations in both businesses in the fourth quarter."

Timberlands
3Q 2007 2Q 2007 Change
Contribution to pre-tax
earnings (millions) $165 142 $23
3Q 2007 Performance - Export and domestic log prices declined in the West while log prices in the South were relatively unchanged. Total fee harvest declined slightly, but third party log sales volumes increased as fewer logs were consumed by company mills. Higher sales of non-strategic timberlands in the third quarter offset the effect of declining log prices.
4Q 2007 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects Timberlands earnings to be lower in the fourth quarter compared with third quarter due to expectations that:
* The continued weakness in housing markets will result in lower prices
in both the export and domestic markets, and lower log sales volumes in
the West.
* The company will complete fewer non-strategic timberlands transactions
in the fourth quarter.
Wood Products
3Q 2007 2Q 2007 Change
Contribution to pre-tax
earnings (loss) (millions) ($131) ($123) ($8)
3Q 2007 Performance - Excluding the pre-tax items noted below, the segment's net loss increased $36 million from the second quarter, reflecting continued difficult market conditions.
Third quarter 2007 includes:
* Charges of $25 million for facility closures, asset impairments and
restructuring costs,
* A charge of $4 million for the settlement of alder litigation, and
* A gain of $7 million on the sale of a veneer facility and a previously
closed customer service center site.
Second quarter 2007 includes:
* Charges of $33 million for asset impairments, facility closures and the
sale of the Canadian distribution business, and
* A charge of $17 million for the settlement of alder litigation.
Declining housing starts continued to affect segment results. Average realized prices for plywood and oriented strand board increased slightly from the second quarter, but were offset by decreased lumber prices. Sales volumes declined for each of the segment's building products. The strengthening Canadian dollar unfavorably affected the earnings contribution from products manufactured in Canada.
4Q 2007 Outlook - The company expects the segment's operating loss to increase in fourth quarter compared with the third quarter due to the traditional seasonal slowdown and continuing pressures on volumes and prices.
On Oct. 18, the company announced indefinite curtailments at three mills and expects to continue actively adjusting operating posture to balance production with demand.
CELLULOSE FIBERS
3Q 2007 2Q 2007 Change
Contribution to pre-tax earnings
(millions) $79 $48 $31
3Q 2007 Performance - Market conditions continued to improve and pulp prices increased. Pulp shipment volumes declined in the third quarter, primarily due to changes in the brokerage relationship associated with the transition of mills to Domtar. Mill productivity improved while costs declined due to less downtime for annual maintenance.
4Q 2007 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects favorable market conditions to continue, resulting in slightly higher earnings from the segment in fourth quarter.
CONTAINERBOARD, PACKAGING AND RECYCLING
3Q 2007 2Q 2007 Change
Contribution to pre-tax earnings
(millions) $104 $112 ($8)
3Q 2007 Performance - Excluding the pre-tax items noted below, the segment's earnings increased $13 million from second quarter.
Third quarter 2007 includes:
* A gain of $3 million on the sale of a previously closed box plant site.
Second quarter 2007 included:
* A gain of $29 million on the sale of a previously closed box plant site
in California.
* Charges of $5 million related to a fire and subsequent closure of a box
plant.
Productivity improved and annual scheduled maintenance downtime decreased at the containerboard mills. OCC costs increased. Energy costs were seasonally lower. Average packaging price realizations decreased mainly due to product mix. Converting cost reductions partially offset decreased packaging price realizations and seasonally lower shipments.
4Q 2007 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects fourth quarter earnings for the segment to be comparable to third quarter due to expectations that:
* Packaging and containerboard price realizations will improve.
* OCC costs will moderate.
* Additional scheduled maintenance downtime and higher seasonal energy
costs will offset the improved price realizations.
REAL ESTATE AND RELATED ASSETS
3Q 2007 2Q 2007 Change
Contribution to pre-tax earnings
(millions) $60 $64 ($4)
3Q 2007 Performance - Excluding the pre-tax items noted below, the segment's earnings increased $19 million from second quarter.
Third quarter 2007 includes: * Gains of $30 million from land sales. * Asset impairment charges of $23 million. Second quarter 2007 includes: * A gain of $42 million on the sale of an apartment project. * Asset impairment charges of $12 million.
Single-family home closings increased compared with the second quarter. Average closing prices continued to decline. Margins increased due to mix. The backlog of homes sold, but not closed, declined to approximately four and one-half months.
4Q 2007 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects earnings from single-family home closings to be significantly lower than the third quarter due to declining market conditions. Land sales not yet under contract that may close in fourth quarter could offset some of this decline.
