(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)

Special items for prior periods presented are included in the reconciliation tables within this release.

(3)

Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD) is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the company's liquidity. Adjusted FAD, as we define it, is net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items. Adjusted FAD measures cash generated during the period (net of capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items) that is available for dividends, repurchases of common shares, debt reduction, acquisitions, and other discretionary and nondiscretionary capital allocation activities. Adjusted FAD should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted FAD to net cash from operations is included within this release.

Q1 2024 Performance – In the West, fee harvest volumes were moderately higher than the fourth quarter. Domestic sales volumes were significantly higher and export sales volumes were significantly lower, primarily for China , as the company flexed volumes to the domestic market. Domestic sales realizations were slightly lower, primarily due to mix, while export sales realizations were comparable. Per unit log and haul costs were significantly lower due to the seasonal transition to lower elevation harvest activity. In the South, fee harvest volumes were slightly lower than the fourth quarter. Sales realizations and per unit log and haul costs were comparable. Forestry and road costs in the West and South were seasonally lower.

Q2 2024 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be slightly higher than the first quarter. In the West, the company expects moderately higher fee harvest volumes, comparable sales realizations, and higher per unit log and haul costs. In the South, the company expects fee harvest volumes to be moderately higher and sales realizations and per unit log and haul costs to be comparable. Forestry and road costs in the West and South are expected to be seasonally higher.

Q2 2024 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings will be approximately $10 million lower than the first quarter and Adjusted EBITDA will be comparable to the first quarter due to the timing and mix of real estate sales.

Q1 2024 Performance – Sales realizations for both lumber and oriented strand board increased four percent compared with fourth quarter averages. Sales volumes for lumber were slightly lower, partially driven by winter weather disruptions early in the quarter. Unit manufacturing costs for lumber were slightly higher and log costs were slightly lower. For oriented strand board, sales volumes and fiber costs were slightly higher, while unit manufacturing costs were slightly lower. Sales realizations were lower for most engineered wood products, while raw material costs were moderately higher. Unit manufacturing costs were slightly higher, and sales volumes were comparable for solid section and lower for I-joist products. Distribution results were higher due to improved commodity realizations and margins.

Q2 2024 Outlook – Weyerhaeuser anticipates second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be slightly higher than the first quarter, excluding the effect of changes in average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board. For lumber, the company expects higher sales volumes, slightly lower log costs, and moderately lower unit manufacturing costs. For oriented strand board, the company anticipates moderately higher sales volumes, slightly higher fiber costs, and comparable unit manufacturing costs. For engineered wood products, the company expects sales volumes to be higher, sales realizations to be comparable, and raw material costs to be higher, primarily for oriented strand board webstock. For distribution, the company anticipates higher results compared to the first quarter.
