Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today reported first quarter 2005 net earnings of $239 million, or 98 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $5.5 billion. This compares with $121 million, or 54 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2004.

First quarter 2004 earnings included the following after-tax items: -- A charge of $32 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, associated with the settlement of litigation. -- A charge of $10 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, for integration and restructuring activities. -- A gain of $22 million, or 10 cents per diluted share, on the sale of the Slave Lake, Alberta oriented strand board mill.
Earlier today, Weyerhaeuser announced it would increase its second quarter dividend by 25 percent to 50 cents per share.
"This action reflects the board's confidence in the company's financial strength," said Steven R. Rogel, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "It also demonstrates the commitment we made to shareholders that we would capitalize on opportunities to enhance shareholder value after reducing our debt following the Willamette acquisition."
SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Millions (except per share data) 1Q 2005 1Q 2004 Change Net earnings $239 $121 $118 Earnings per diluted share $0.98 $0.54 $0.44 Net sales $5,548 $5,037 $511 SEGMENT RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER (Contributions to Pre-Tax Earnings) Millions 1Q 2005 1Q 2004 Change Timberlands $200 $159 $41 Wood Products $131 $173 ($42) Pulp and Paper $19 ($25) $44 Containerboard, Packaging and Recycling $48 $24 $24 Real Estate and Related Assets $183 $120 $63 TIMBERLANDS 1Q 2005 4Q 2004 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $200 $217 ($17)
First quarter earnings decreased $17 million from the fourth quarter primarily because of a $28 million decline in the sales of non-strategic timberlands. Partially offsetting that decline was a slightly higher seasonal fee harvest and higher domestic log prices due to strong demand in the U.S. housing market.
Weyerhaeuser expects log prices to remain strong in the second quarter, resulting in second quarter earnings similar to first quarter.
WOOD PRODUCTS 1Q 2005 4Q 2004 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $131 $72 $59
Earnings increased significantly from fourth quarter 2004 due primarily to higher first quarter prices driven by stronger demand for lumber, plywood and oriented strand board. Fourth quarter earnings included a $30 million pre-tax gain from the sale of an industrial land site in Vancouver, British Columbia, and a $6 million pre-tax gain from the sale of three mills in the Carolinas.
First quarter sales were lower than fourth quarter due to severe weather in the Southwest which delayed construction. In addition, transportation problems affected the segment results. Costs for delivered logs, purchased wood and resin continued to increase. During the quarter, the segment incurred three weeks of maintenance downtime at its Sutton, W.Va. oriented strand board mill.
The segment incurred $22 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, compared with $27 million in the fourth quarter primarily as a result of a decrease from 31.18 percent to 24.36 percent in the rates charged on Weyerhaeuser shipments.
Weyerhaeuser expects second quarter earnings to increase from first quarter due to higher shipment volumes and higher average prices driven by seasonal demand in residential construction. Ongoing rail transportation constraints and log availability due to poor logging conditions in Canada may moderate the expected increase.
PULP AND PAPER 1Q 2005 4Q 2004 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $19 $35 ($16)
Pulp prices improved during the quarter. Fine paper prices declined from fourth quarter levels, but shipments improved due to seasonally stronger market conditions more than offsetting maintenance downtime on two paper machines. Earnings declined during the quarter due in part to higher costs associated with the maintenance outages. In addition, Pulp and Paper experienced continuing higher costs for energy, transportation, raw materials and chemicals.
Weyerhaeuser expects modestly higher second quarter earnings compared with the first quarter due to slightly higher price realizations for some products, seasonally lower production costs for newsprint and higher production levels for liquid packaging.
CONTAINERBOARD, PACKAGING AND RECYCLING 1Q 2005 4Q 2004 Change Contribution to earnings (millions) $48 $81 ($33)
First quarter earnings declined from fourth quarter levels due primarily to lower box shipments as unusually wet weather in southern California and Arizona adversely affected demand from agricultural producers. Production was down 100,000 tons from fourth quarter due to maintenance and slower operating rates at containerboard mills to balance production with the company's orders. First quarter results also include pre-tax charges of $12 million associated with the settlement of a linerboard antitrust lawsuit and $4 million for costs associated with the closure of a packaging facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The company expects second quarter earnings to increase due to a seasonal improvement in box demand.
REAL ESTATE AND RELATED ASSETS 1Q 2005 4Q 2004 Change Contribution to pre-tax earnings (millions) $183 $217 ($34)
Earnings decreased from fourth quarter due to seasonally lower single-family home closings in markets in which the company operates. Margins on single-family closings continued to be strong due to price increases implemented during the prior year. First quarter results benefited from land sales which contributed approximately $57 million to earnings compared with $24 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.
The backlog of homes sold, but not closed, at the end of the first quarter continues to be near six months. Weyerhaeuser expects second quarter earnings to decline from the first quarter due to lower land sales.
OTHER
Capital spending for the first quarter 2005, excluding Real Estate and Related Assets, was approximately $129 million. The company expects to spend approximately $850 million on capital expenditures in 2005.
The company expects to close the sale of its BC Coastal assets to Brascan during the second quarter.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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," and "plans," 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 the company's markets in the second quarter of 2005; expected earnings and performance of the company's business segments during the second quarter of 2005, demand and pricing for the company's products in the second quarter of 2005, non-strategic timberland sales in the second quarter of 2005, land sales in the second quarter of 2005, expected capital expenditures in 2005, the expected closing of the sale of BC Coastal Assets in the second quarter of 2005, and other matters. 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; -- the company's ability to increase the prices of our products; -- energy prices; -- weather conditions; -- availability and pricing of raw materials; -- the availability of transportation; -- the successful execution of internal performance plans and the performance of the company's manufacturing operations; -- 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 -- regulatory actions 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.
