4Q 2015 Performance - In the West, fee harvest volumes increased and average log sales realizations improved. In the South, fee harvest volumes decreased as a result of wet weather and average log sales realizations declined due to mix, mostly offset by lower costs. Earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands increased by $6 million compared with the third quarter.

1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects comparable earnings from the Timberlands segment in the first quarter. In the West, the company expects higher log sales volumes and average realizations. In the South, the company anticipates seasonally lower fee harvest volumes and slightly decreased average log sales realizations due to mix. The company expects lower earnings from the disposition of nonstrategic timberlands in first quarter 2016 compared with fourth quarter 2015.

4Q 2015 Performance - Increased average sales realizations for oriented strand board were more than offset by reduced average lumber sales realizations and seasonally lower sales volumes across all product lines. Operating rates decreased, primarily due to downtime for planned maintenance in engineered wood products and oriented strand board and installation of capital projects in lumber.

Special items for the fourth quarter include restructuring charges related to the closure of four distribution centers.

1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects higher earnings from the Wood Products segment in the first quarter. The company expects moderately higher average sales realizations for lumber and increased production volumes across all product lines.

1Q 2016 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly lower earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the first quarter.

* 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.
