FEDERAL WAY, Wash., Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported third quarter net earnings to common shareholders of $180 million, or 35 cents per diluted share. This compares with net earnings of $133 million, or 26 cents per diluted share, for second quarter 2015 and net earnings from continuing operations before special items of $178 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, for the same period last year.

3Q 2015 Performance - In the West, fee harvest volumes declined due to fire season logging constraints and log sales realizations decreased due to a shift in mix from export to domestic markets. In the South, higher fee harvest volumes were offset by seasonally higher silviculture costs. Earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands increased by $8 million compared with the second quarter.

4Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects comparable earnings from the Timberlands segment in the fourth quarter. In the West, the company expects slightly higher fee harvest volumes and improved mix primarily due to increased shipments to Japan. In the South, the company anticipates comparable fee harvest volumes and higher logging costs.

The company anticipates seasonally lower sales volumes, reduced operating rates, and additional planned maintenance primarily in oriented strand board.

*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 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.
