(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040116/WYLOGO-a http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040116/WYLOGO-b ) First quarter 2004 earnings include the following after-tax items: -- A charge of $32 million, or 14 cents per share, associated with the settlement of litigation. -- A charge of $10 million, or 4 cents per share, for integration and restructuring activities. -- A gain of $22 million, or 10 cents per share, on the sale of the Slave Lake, Alberta, oriented strand board mill. First quarter 2003 earnings included the following after-tax items: -- A charge of $52 million, or 23 cents per share, for a lawsuit involving Pacific Northwest alder logs. -- A charge of $19 million, or 8 cents per share, associated with integration and restructuring activities. -- A charge of $15 million, or 7 cents per share, for the closure of facilities. -- A charge of $11 million, or 5 cents per share, for the cumulative effect of a required change in the accounting principle relating to asset retirement obligations. Other significant 2004 first quarter financial matters: -- Weyerhaeuser Company debt was $11.6 billion at quarter end. Total company debt, which includes Real Estate and Related Assets, was approximately $12.6 billion at the end of the quarter. -- Capital spending, excluding Real Estate and Related Assets, for the first quarter was approximately $90 million.
"In addition to the continued strength of single-family housing starts and the wood products market, we are seeing improvement in our pulp, paper and containerboard markets," said Steven R. Rogel, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "The improved efficiencies of our operations are becoming more apparent due to the combination of strong market conditions, synergies from the Willamette acquisition and asset rationalization. Many of our operations are running at record production rates and we're maintaining strong order files. However, we are experiencing transportation disruptions in truck, rail and ocean service that are continuing into the second quarter and are making it increasingly challenging to meet customer needs."
SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Millions (except per share data) 1Q 2004 1Q 2003 Change Net earnings (loss) $121 ($54) $175 Basic and diluted earnings per share (loss) $0.54 ($0.24) $0.78 Weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands) Basic 223,728 221,285 2,443 Diluted 225,072 221,285 3,787 Net sales $5,037 $4,614 $423 SEGMENT RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER (Contributions to Pre-Tax Earnings) Millions 1Q 2004 1Q 2003 Change Timberlands $159 $149 $10 Wood Products $173 ($150) $323 Pulp and Paper ($25) $10 ($35) Containerboard Packaging and Recycling $24 $80 ($56) Real Estate and Related Assets $120 $95 $25 TIMBERLANDS 1Q 2004 4Q 2003 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $159 $185 ($26)
Fourth quarter 2003 earnings include a pre-tax gain of $61 million on the sale of nonstrategic timberlands in Tennessee and the Carolinas.
Most of the improvement from the fourth quarter occurred in the West due to increased prices for domestic and export logs, and reduced logging costs in addition to slightly higher fee harvest from all operating regions.
Second quarter earnings are expected to be slightly higher than the first quarter due to higher export and domestic log sales volumes, and seasonally higher fee harvest.
WOOD PRODUCTS 1Q 2004 4Q 2003 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $173 $111 $62
First quarter earnings include a $33 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the company's oriented strand board mill at Slave Lake, Alberta, and a pre-tax charge of $49 million for the settlement of litigation. Fourth quarter 2003 results include a pre-tax charge of $14 million for facility closure costs.
Continued strength in the housing market prompted an early quarter recovery in prices. Quarter to quarter improvement in prices for softwood lumber and engineered lumber contributed to the increase in earnings.
The segment incurred $26 million in countervailing and anti-dumping duties and related costs on Canadian softwood lumber the company sold into the United States in the first quarter. This compares to $22 million in the fourth quarter.
Second quarter results are expected to be significantly higher than first quarter due to continued high demand and the resulting effects on prices for all wood products.
PULP AND PAPER 1Q 2004 4Q 2003 Change Contribution (charge) to earnings (millions) ($25) ($67) $42
Fourth quarter 2003 results include a pre-tax charge of $30 million associated with the closure of a paper machine.
In the first quarter, paper grade pulp prices continued to increase. Paper shipments increased significantly from fourth quarter levels primarily due to a general improvement in U.S. economic activity and lower paper imports. Market downtime was eliminated in the first quarter compared with 96,000 tons in the fourth quarter. These factors helped improve operating results during the first quarter.
The company expects the segment to return to profitability in the second quarter. Prices for pulp and paper are expected to increase in the second quarter. Shipments are expected to remain stable for both of these product lines.
CONTAINERBOARD PACKAGING AND RECYCLING 1Q 2004 4Q 2003 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $24 $32 ($8)
Higher costs for old corrugated containers (OCC) and lower prices for boxes resulted in lower first quarter earnings. First quarter market downtime was 32,000 tons compared with 71,000 tons in the fourth quarter. Box shipments increased both seasonally and compared with the first quarter last year.
Improving economic conditions are expected to result in greater demand for boxes in the second quarter. As a result, the company expects higher second quarter earnings due primarily to increasing prices and shipments, partially offset by higher OCC costs.
REAL ESTATE AND RELATED ASSETS 1Q 2004 4Q 2003 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $120 $109 $11
First quarter earnings include a $22 million pre-tax gain on an acreage sale. Fourth quarter 2003 earnings include a $7 million pre-tax gain on an acreage sale.
Housing sales remain strong with a backlog of homes sold, but not closed, exceeding six months. Second quarter earnings from new home sales are expected to be comparable to the first quarter. No major acreage sales are planned in the second quarter.

This news release contains statements concerning the company's future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expects," "may," "will," "believes," "should," "approximately," anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "continuing" and "maintaining" and the negative or other variations of those terms or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. In particular, some of these forward-looking statements deal with expectations regarding improvement in our pulp, paper and containerboard markets, strong order files, transportation disruptions, higher export and domestic log sales volumes and seasonally higher fee harvest in the second quarter 2004, increased demand and pricing for wood products in second quarter 2004, profitability, price increases and stable demand for pulp and paper in the second quarter 2004, greater demand for boxes in second quarter 2004, increasing prices, shipments and OCC costs in the containerboard markets; continuing strong housing demands, absence of acreage sales in the real estate markets during second quarter 2004, increasing productivity in the manufacturing system, management of asset base, the company's markets in the second quarter 2004; and earnings and performance of the company's business segments during the second quarter 2004. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, but not limited to, the effect of general economic conditions, including the level of interest rates and housing starts; market demand for the company's products, which may be tied to the relative strength of various U.S. business segments; energy prices; raw material prices; transportation disruptions; performance of the company's manufacturing operations; the successful execution of internal performance plans; the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers; the effect of forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations; fires, floods and other natural disasters; and legal proceedings. The company is also a large exporter and is affected by changes in economic activity in Europe and Asia, particularly Japan, and by changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Euro and the Canadian dollar; and restrictions on international trade or tariffs imposed on imports, including the countervailing and dumping duties imposed on the company's softwood lumber shipments from Canada to the United States. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from such forward looking statements are discussed in greater detail in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
