Frequently Asked Questions

We started out as the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, incorporated in the State of Washington in 1900, when Frederick Weyerhaeuser and 15 partners bought 900,000 acres of timberland. Today, we are one of the world’s largest private owners of timberlands.

We have three main business segments: Timberlands; Real Estate, Energy & Natural Resources; and Wood Products.

Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol WY.

In general, publicly held companies are required to be very careful to release news to everyone simultaneously. Due to these restrictions, there will be times at which we are unable to respond to certain inquiries. For example, the SEC requires public companies to be particularly cautious about any comments related to earnings between the end of each reporting period and the time when financial results are released. There may also be specific inquiries we are unable to answer at any time.

Weyerhaeuser’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

Because the income generated by the sale of standing timber is generally considered capital gains, much of the income generated by Weyerhaeuser and distributed to shareholders is taxed at capital gains rates. For copies of historical announcements regarding the tax treatment of our dividends, please visit our Dividend Information page.

Generally, non-U.S. investors will receive a 1042-S reporting our dividends paid as "ordinary dividends." These dividends are subject to a U.S. tax withholding of 30 percent or the appropriate tax-treaty rate, whichever is lower.

This information is also available through Computershare’s website, Investor Center, free of charge and you can view, download and print the most recent tax slip issued to you.  

If you hold your shares through a brokerage account, your broker will supply your tax information in the Form 1099 it issues to you.
