Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2014 include net after-tax gains of $21 million from special items. Excluding these items, the company reported net earnings of $145 million, or 27 cents per diluted share.

For the full year 2014, Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $1.8 billion, or $3.18 per diluted share, on net sales from continuing operations of $7.4 billion. This compares with net earnings of $540 million, or 95 cents per diluted share, on net sales from continuing operations of $7.3 billion for the same period last year.

Full year 2014 includes after-tax earnings of $998 million from discontinued operations related to the divestiture of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company and $84 million from special items. Excluding these items, the company reported net earnings of $700 million, or $1.25 per diluted share.

"In 2014, we demonstrated our commitment to driving shareholder value," said Doyle Simons, president and chief executive officer. "During the year, we divested our homebuilding business to become a focused forest products company, achieved our 2014 operational excellence targets and made significant progress on our multi-year initiatives, and improved earnings from continuing operations by more than 20 percent compared with 2013. In addition, we increased our dividend by 32 percent and completed nearly 30 percent of a newly authorized $700 million share repurchase program. For 2015, we remain relentlessly focused on driving operational excellence to fully capitalize on our improving markets and delivering value to our shareholders."

4Q 2014 Performance - Western fee harvest volumes increased and log realizations improved in domestic and Japanese markets. These improvements were partially offset by weaker demand and pricing for Chinese export logs. In the South, fee harvest volumes increased and realizations improved slightly. Earnings from disposition of non-strategic timberlands decreased by $16 million compared with the third quarter.

1Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly higher earnings from the Timberlands segment in the first quarter. In the West, the company anticipates improved domestic volumes and realizations, partially offset by lower export log volumes. Western logging and road building costs should decline seasonally. In the South, the company expects lower fee harvest volumes due to seasonally wet weather. The company anticipates higher earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter 2014.

4Q 2014 Performance - Average pulp price realizations increased, and sales volumes fell slightly. In liquid packaging board, lower realizations and lower shipment volumes as a result of West Coast port slowdowns were offset by lower maintenance costs and higher production rates following completion of an extended outage that occurred primarily in the third quarter.

1Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly lower earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the first quarter. The company anticipates reduced pulp price realizations, higher maintenance expense, and decreased shipment volumes for liquid packaging board due to continuing West Coast port slowdowns, partially offset by higher liquid packaging board realizations due to mix.

*Adjusted EBITDAis 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.
