- Earnings rise 34 percent compared with first quarter

- Repurchased over $150 million of common shares

FEDERAL WAY, Wash., July 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Weyerhaeuser Company WY today reported second quarter net earnings to common shareholders of $133 million, or 26 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion. This compares with net earnings of $90 million, or 17 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion for first quarter 2015, and net earnings of $280 million, or 47 cents per diluted share, on net sales from continuing operations of $2.0 billion for the second quarter last year.

Excluding special items, second quarter net earnings of $133 million compares with net earnings from continuing operations before special items of $99 million for first quarter 2015, and $234 million for the second quarter last year.

"Each of our businesses delivered solid second quarter operating results, as operational excellence efforts helped mitigate the delayed arrival of the spring building season and the continuing challenge of a strong U.S. dollar," said Doyle Simons, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we repurchased over $150 million of common shares in the quarter and neared completion of our existing authorization. Looking forward, we are well positioned to capitalize on the improving housing market, and we remain relentlessly focused on driving value for our shareholders through operational improvements and disciplined capital allocation."

2Q 2015 Performance - Western domestic and export log sales realizations declined, partially offset by seasonal increases in sales volumes. Earnings from the disposition of non-strategic timberlands decreased by $12 million compared with the first quarter.

3Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects slightly lower earnings from the Timberlands segment in the third quarter. In the West, the company expects lower fee harvest volumes, partially offset by higher log sales realizations, as a result of a prolonged fire season. In the South, the company anticipates increased fee harvest volumes offset by seasonally higher silviculture costs.

2Q 2015 Performance - Sales volumes increased seasonally across all product lines. Manufacturing costs improved due to higher operating rates and operational excellence initiatives, and Western log costs were lower. These higher sales volumes and lower costs were partially offset by lower average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board.

3Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects higher earnings from the Wood Products segment in the third quarter. The company anticipates seasonally higher sales volumes across most product lines and improved average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board.

2Q 2015 Performance - Average pulp sales realizations decreased and maintenance costs increased due to an extended pulp mill outage for scheduled maintenance and installation of energy-related capital improvements. These factors were partially offset by lower net energy costs primarily due to operational excellence initiatives.

3Q 2015 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects significantly higher earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in the third quarter primarily due to minimal scheduled maintenance outage days. Additionally, the company anticipates lower average pulp sales realizations, partially offset by increased sales volumes.

*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 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.
