For the full year 2014, Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $1.8 billion, or $3.18 per diluted share, on net sales from continuing operations of $7.4 billion.

In addition, we increased our dividend by 32 percent and completed nearly 30 percent of a newly authorized $700 million share repurchase program. For 2015, we remain relentlessly focused on driving operational excellence to fully capitalize on our improving markets and delivering value to our shareholders."

4Q 2014 Performance - Western fee harvest volumes increased and log realizations improved in domestic and Japanese markets. These improvements were partially offset by weaker demand and pricing for Chinese export logs. In the South, fee harvest volumes increased and realizations improved slightly. Earnings from disposition of non-strategic timberlands decreased by $16 million compared with the third quarter.

1Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly higher earnings from the Timberlands segment in the first quarter. In the West, the company anticipates improved domestic volumes and realizations, partially offset by lower export log volumes. Western logging and road building costs should decline seasonally. In the South, the company expects lower fee harvest volumes due to seasonally wet weather. The company anticipates higher earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter 2014.

4Q 2014 Performance - Average pulp price realizations increased, and sales volumes fell slightly. In liquid packaging board, lower realizations and lower shipment volumes as a result of West Coast port slowdowns were offset by lower maintenance costs and higher production rates following completion of an extended outage that occurred primarily in the third quarter.

1Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly lower earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the first quarter. The company anticipates reduced pulp price realizations, higher maintenance expense, and decreased shipment volumes for liquid packaging board due to continuing West Coast port slowdowns, partially offset by higher liquid packaging board realizations due to mix.

*Adjusted EBITDAis a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, pension and postretirement costs not allocated to business segments (primarily interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial loss and amortization of prior service cost/credit), special items and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our GAAP results.
