4Q 2012 Performance - Earnings increased compared with the third quarter due to improved selling prices and stronger market demand for export and domestic logs. Fee harvest volumes increased in both the West and the South. Earnings from disposition of non-strategic timberlands decreased $5 million.

1Q 2013 Outlook - Excluding dispositions of non-strategic timberlands, Weyerhaeuser expects earnings from the segment to be comparable to the fourth quarter. The company anticipates improved selling prices for Western domestic and export logs, offset by a seasonal decline in Southern fee harvest volumes. Earnings from dispositions of non-strategic timberlands are expected to decrease.

4Q 2012 Performance - Stronger than expected market conditions for oriented strand board and lumber resulted in higher average selling prices and sales volumes for those products. However, all product lines experienced higher raw material costs. Engineered wood products operating rates decreased due to maintenance and seasonally weaker market conditions.

1Q 2013 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates significantly higher earnings from the Wood Products segment in the first quarter. The company expects increased average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board and seasonally higher sales volumes across all product lines. Unit manufacturing costs are expected to decline due to improved operating rates, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

4Q 2012 Performance - Average sales realizations for pulp declined, and chemical and energy costs increased. Sales realizations and volumes for liquid packaging board decreased due to operational issues that are now resolved. These factors were partially offset by lower maintenance costs and improved pulp mill productivity due to fewer days of scheduled annual maintenance outages.

1Q 2013 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects lower earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the first quarter. The company anticipates increased maintenance expenses, partially offset by slightly higher average selling prices for pulp.

4Q 2012 Performance - Fourth quarter included earnings of $16 million from single-family homebuilding and $65 million from land sales, compared with $17 million from single-family homebuilding in the third quarter. Home closings increased seasonally to 842 single-family homes. Average margins on homes closed declined to 20 percent due to mix, and selling costs increased due to the additional closing volume.

At the end of the fourth quarter the backlog of homes sold, but not closed, totaled 774 units, compared with 429 units one year ago.

1Q 2013 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates a slight profit from single-family homebuilding in the first quarter. Home closings should decline seasonally to approximately 500 homes, with margins comparable to fourth quarter. Selling expenses are expected to decrease due to lower closing volumes.

Unallocated Items

Q4.2012 Analyst Package











Preliminary results, subject to audit

























Unallocated items are gains or charges not related to or allocated to an individual operating segment. They include a portion of items such as: share-based compensation; pension and postretirement costs; foreign exchange transaction gains and losses associated with financing; and the elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and the LIFO reserve.

*Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items 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 interest included in cost of products sold. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our GAAP results.
