Excluding net after-tax charges of $69 million for special items, the company reported fourth quarter net earnings of $361 million, or 48 cents per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $657 million compared with $260 million for the same period last year and $745 million for the third quarter of 2020.

For the full year 2020, Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings of $797 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, on net sales of $7.5 billion. This compares with a net loss of $76 million on net sales of $6.6 billion for the full year 2019.

Full year 2020 includes net after-tax charges of $165 million for special items. Excluding these items, the company reported net earnings of $962 million, or $1.29 per diluted share. This compares with net earnings before special items of $285 million for the full year 2019.

"In 2020 each of our businesses delivered remarkable results in the face of unprecedented operating and market challenges," said Devin W. Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. "Our teams delivered the highest Wood Products Adjusted EBITDA on record, achieved record low cost performance in lumber, and captured approximately $100 million of operational excellence improvements across our businesses, all while demonstrating an unwavering commitment to safety. In addition, we reduced gross debt by more than $900 million, implemented a new dividend framework, strategically upgraded our Oregon timberland holdings and launched a new sustainability strategy. As we embark on 2021, we are encouraged by the macroeconomic tailwinds that continue to bolster strong U.S. housing and repair and remodel markets, and we remain focused on creating value for shareholders through our unrivaled portfolio of assets, industry-leading operating performance and disciplined capital allocation."

(1)

Net earnings before special items is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides helpful context in understanding the company's earnings performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results. Reconciliations of Net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP earnings are included within this release.

(2)

Fourth quarter 2020 after-tax special items include a $193 million noncash settlement charge related to the transfer of pension assets and liabilities through the purchase of a group annuity contract, a $182 million gain related to the previously announced sale of certain southern Oregon timberlands and a $58 million charge related to the early extinguishment of debt. Special items for other periods presented are included in the reconciliation tables following this release.

Q4 2020 Performance – In the West, average sales realizations for domestic and Japan export logs increased from the third quarter, and export log sales volumes were significantly higher. Fee harvest volumes increased 9 percent as harvest operations fully resumed following third quarter wildfire activity. In the South, average log sales realizations were comparable to the third quarter, as higher average sawlog realizations were largely offset by lower realizations for fiber logs. Unit logging and hauling costs decreased, and log sales volumes were slightly lower.

Fourth quarter special items include a $182 million gain on the previously announced sale of certain southern Oregon timberlands, which was completed in November.

Q1 2021 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser expects first quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be slightly higher than the fourth quarter. In the West, the company anticipates higher export log sales volumes, slightly lower average domestic log sales realizations, slightly higher unit logging and hauling costs, and seasonally lower road spending. In the South, the company expects higher fee harvest volumes and comparable average log sales realizations.

Q4 2020 Performance – Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA decreased due to fewer real estate sales. Average land basis was significantly lower due to the mix of properties sold. The segment reported full year Adjusted EBITDA of $241 million.

Q1 2021 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates first quarter earnings will be slightly higher than first quarter 2020, and Adjusted EBITDA will be modestly lower than first quarter 2020 due to the timing and mix of real estate transactions. The company expects full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA for the segment will be approximately $255 million.

Q4 2020 Performance – Sales volumes declined slightly across most product lines from the third quarter. Raw material costs increased significantly, primarily for Western and Canadian logs and oriented strand board webstock. Per unit manufacturing costs increased for oriented strand board due to planned maintenance outages.

Average sales realizations for oriented strand board improved 27 percent compared with the third quarter, as benchmark pricing remained near record levels. This was largely offset by a 10 percent decrease in average lumber sales realizations.

Q1 2021 Outlook – Excluding the effect of changes in average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board, the company expects first quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly higher than the fourth quarter. The company expects improved manufacturing costs across product lines and slightly higher sales volumes, primarily for lumber and engineered wood products. To date, first quarter benchmark pricing for lumber and oriented strand board is significantly higher than the fourth quarter average.

We reconcile net earnings before special items to net earnings and net earnings per diluted share before special items to net earnings per diluted share, as those are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. We believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitate period to period comparisons and are widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results.

We recorded pretax charges of $12 million ($9 million after-tax), $11 million ($11 million after-tax), $23 million ($23 million after-tax) and $58 million ($58 million after-tax) related to the early extinguishment of debt in first quarter 2019, second quarter 2020, third quarter 2020 and fourth quarter 2020, respectively. These charges were included in Interest expense, net of capitalized interest in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(2)  

Net earnings before special items is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides helpful context in understanding the company's earnings performance. Net earnings before special items should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results.
