NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE QUARTERS AND YEAR-TO-DATE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We are a corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT). As a REIT, we expect to derive most of our REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the sale of standing timber through pay-as-cut sales contracts. REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the double taxation on income. A significant portion of our timberland segment earnings receives this favorable tax treatment. We are, however, subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than standing timber) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We also will continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS), which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business and our non-qualified timberland segment income.
Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including:
| |
• | majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries and |
| |
• | variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. |
They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated, and noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity.
We account for investments in and advances to unconsolidated equity affiliates using the equity method, with taxes provided on undistributed earnings. This means that we record earnings and accrue taxes in the period earnings are recognized by our unconsolidated equity affiliates.
We report our financial condition in two groups:
| |
• | Forest Products – our forest products-based operations, principally the growing and harvesting of timber, the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products and corporate governance activities; and |
| |
• | Real Estate – our real estate development and construction operations. |
Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we” and “our” refer to the consolidated company, including both Forest Products and Real Estate.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements; certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
We have reclassified certain balances and results from the prior year to be consistent with our 2011 reporting. This makes year-to-year comparisons easier. Our reclassifications had no effect on net earnings (loss) or Weyerhaeuser shareholders’ interest. The reclassifications include changes to the way we classify certain transactions as operating, investing or financing on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and to present the results of operations discontinued in 2011 separately on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Note 2: Discontinued Operations provides information about our discontinued operations.
NOTE 2: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our discontinued operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, include the operations of our hardwoods and Westwood Shipping Lines operations. The following table summarizes the components of net sales and net earnings from discontinued operations.

Results of discontinued operations exclude certain general corporate overhead costs that have been allocated to and are included in contribution to earnings for the operating segments.
Other discontinued operations relate to current period charges for liabilities of businesses we have sold or divested in prior years and are included in the Corporate and Other segment. During second quarter 2011 we increased our reserve for estimated future environmental remediation costs and recognized an $11 million charge associated with discontinued operations. See Note 12: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies for more information.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheet includes the following assets and liabilities of our hardwoods and Westwood Shipping Lines operations as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

ANNOUNCED SALE OF HARDWOODS
During June 2011, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the assets of our hardwoods operations to American Industrial Partners and expect to receive consideration of $108 million, of which $25 million is a note receivable. The purchase price is subject to adjustments for working capital levels. We reduced our hardwoods
assets to their fair value less selling costs which resulted in the recognition of a $9 million impairment in second quarter 2011. An additional $10 million pension curtailment charge was recognized subsequent to quarter end when the transaction closed on August 1, 2011.
The following operating assets are included as part of the transaction:
| |
• | seven primary hardwood mills with a total capacity of 300 million board feet, |
| |
• | four concentration yards, |
| |
• | three remanufacturing plants, |
| |
• | one log merchandising yard and |
| |
• | sales offices in the U.S., Canada, Japan, China and Hong Kong. |
ANNOUNCED SALE OF WESTWOOD SHIPPING LINES
During June 2011, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell all outstanding shares of Westwood Shipping Lines to J-WesCo of Japan for $53 million in cash, subject to adjustments for working capital levels at closing. As of June 30, 2011, the net carrying value of these assets was approximately $10 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the third quarter.
NOTE 3: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We are principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber; the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products; and real estate development and construction. Our principal business segments are:
| |
• | Timberlands – which includes logs; timber; minerals, oil and gas; and international wood products; |
| |
• | Wood Products – which includes softwood lumber, engineered lumber, structural panels, hardwood lumber and building materials distribution; |
| |
• | Cellulose Fibers – which includes pulp, liquid packaging board and an equity interest in a newsprint joint venture; and |
| |
• | Real Estate – which includes real estate development, construction and sales. |
We sold our hardwoods operations in a transaction that closed on August 1, 2011. The hardwoods results are included in our Wood Products segment for all periods presented in this report.
Corporate and Other includes results of our transportation operations, certain gains or charges that are not related to an individual operating segment and the portion of items such as share-based compensation, pension and postretirement costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and other general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. We sold our five short line railroads at the end of 2010. We entered into an agreement to sell Westwood Shipping Lines, our last transportation business, in a transaction that is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the third quarter. Westwood results are included in Corporate and Other for all periods presented in this report.
An analysis and reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Financial Statements is as follows:

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Weyerhaeuser shareholders were:
| |
• | $0.02 during second quarter and $0.20 during first half 2011, respectively: and |
| |
• | $0.07 during second quarter and $(0.03) during first half 2010, respectively. |
Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares.
Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the:
| |
• | weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and |
| |
• | the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares. |
Dilutive potential common shares include:
| |
• | outstanding stock options, |
| |
• | restricted stock units or |
| |
• | performance share units. |
We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of specified performance or market conditions are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the conditions are satisfied.
To implement our decision to be taxed as a REIT, we distributed our accumulated earnings and profits to our shareholders, determined under federal income tax provisions, as a “Special Dividend.” At the election of each shareholder, the Special Dividend was paid in cash or Weyerhaeuser common shares. The Special Dividend of $5.6 billion was paid September 1, 2010 and included approximately 324 million common shares. The stock portion of the Special Dividend was treated as the issuance of new shares for accounting purposes and affects our earnings (loss) per share only for periods after the distribution. Prior periods are not restated. The required treatment results in earnings (loss) per share that is less than would have been the case had the common shares not been issued. Reflected below are pro forma results giving effect to the common stock distribution for diluted earnings per common share for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 30, 2010, as if the common stock distribution had occurred at the beginning of the period.

The higher number of options in 2011 is primarily due to our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan requiring outstanding stock options to be adjusted as a result of the Special Dividend. During 2011, performance share units were granted under our performance share plan. These are disclosed in the above table at the potential maximum amount of shares that may be issued, which is 150 percent of the granted shares. See Note 5: Share-Based Compensation for more information.
NOTE 5: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In first half 2011, we granted 1,941,686 stock options, 720,120 restricted stock units, 325,736 performance share units, and 52,869 stock appreciation rights. In addition, 279,308 outstanding restricted stock unit awards vested during first half 2011. A total of 2,662,393 shares of common stock were issued as a result of restricted stock unit vesting and stock option exercises.
STOCK OPTIONS
The weighted average exercise price of all of the stock options granted in first half 2011 was $24.16. The vesting and post-termination vesting terms for stock options granted in the first half of 2011 were as follows:
| |
• | options vest ratably over 4 years; |
| |
• | options vest or continue to vest in the event of death, disability, or retirement at an age of at least 62; |
| |
• | options continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary termination when the retirement criteria for full or continued vesting have not been met; and |
| |
• | options stop vesting for all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62. |

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock units granted in first half 2011 was $23.94. The vesting provisions for restricted stock units granted in 2011 were as follows:
| |
• | restricted stock units vest ratably over 4 years; |
| |
• | restricted stock units immediately vest in the event of death while employed or disability; |
| |
• | restricted stock units partially vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62 or job elimination depending on the employment period after grant date; and |
| |
• | restricted stock units will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62. |
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
In 2011, as part of a new long-term incentive compensation strategy intended to tie executive compensation more closely to company performance, we granted a target number of performance share units to executives. Performance share units will be converted into shares of Weyerhaeuser stock – to the extent earned – at the end of a four-year timeframe that combines performance and market conditions with vesting requirements. The final number of shares awarded will range from 0 percent to 150 percent of each grant’s target, depending upon actual company performance.
The ultimate number of Performance Share Units earned is based on two measures:
| |
• | Weyerhaeuser’s cash flow during the first year and |
| |
• | Weyerhaeuser’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) ranking in the S&P 500 during the first two years. |
At the end of the performance period, performance share unit payouts would be in shares of our stock. Performance share units granted in 2011 and that are earned vest as follows:
| |
• | units vest 50 percent, 25 percent and 25 percent on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, respectively, as long as the individual remains employed by the company; |
| |
• | units fully vest in the event of death while employed or disability; |
| |
• | units partially vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62 or job elimination depending on the employment period after grant date; and |
| |
• | units will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62. |
The weighted average grant date fair value of the performance share units was $25.52. Since the award contains a market condition, the effect of the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value which is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model estimates the TSR ranking of the company among the S&P 500 index over the 2 year performance period. Compensation expense is based on the estimated probable number of earned awards and recognized over the four-year vesting period on an accelerated basis. Generally, compensation expense would be reversed if the performance condition is not met unless the requisite service period has been achieved.

Land management income consists primarily of income derived from leasing, renting and granting easement and rights of way on our timberlands.
The $152 million pretax gain on sale of non-strategic timberlands resulted from the sale of 82,000 acres in southwestern Washington.
First half 2010 included a pretax gain of $40 million from the sale of certain British Columbia forest licenses and associated rights and $10 million from the sale of closed facilities.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

| JUNE 30, 2011 | | DECEMBER 31, 2010 |
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS | CARRYING VALUE | | FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2) | | CARRYING VALUE | | FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2) |
Long-term debt (including current maturities): | | | | | | | |
Forest Products | $ | 4,192 |
| | $ | 4,491 |
| | $ | 4,710 |
| | $ | 5,029 |
|
Real Estate | $ | 318 |
| | $ | 327 |
| | $ | 350 |
| | $ | 360 |
|
To estimate the fair value of long-term debt, we used the following valuation approaches:
| |
• | market approach – based on quoted market prices for the same types and issues of our debt; or |
| |
• | income approach – based on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. |
The inputs to the valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data.
The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.
At the beginning of June 2011, we exercised our right to call approximately $518 million of 6.75 percent notes due in 2012. We recognized a pretax charge in second quarter 2011 of $26 million, which included early retirement premiums, unamortized debt issuance costs and other miscellaneous charges in connection with the early extinguishment of debt. This charge is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Real Estate debt maturities were $30 million for second quarter and $32 million for year-to-date 2011.
FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash, short-term investments, receivables, and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to:
| |
• | the short-term nature of these instruments, |
| |
• | carrying short-term investments at expected net realizable value and |
| |
• | the allowance for doubtful accounts. |

FAIR VALUE OF PENSION PLAN ASSETS
We estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon the information available during the year-end reporting process. In some cases, primarily private equity funds, the information available consists of net asset values as of an interim date, cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year and market events. When the differences are significant, we revise the year-end estimated fair value of pension plan assets to incorporate year-end net asset values reflected in audited financial statements received after we have filed our annual report on Form 10-K. Based on the final valuations as of December 31, 2010, the fair value of pension assets increased in second quarter 2011 by $138 million, or 2.9 percent.
Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, has been adjusted to reflect the net funded status of our pension plans that would have been recorded as of December 31, 2010, if the final asset valuations and participant information had been available to us as of the end of 2010. Based on this information we recorded the following adjustments during second quarter 2011:
| |
• | $20 million increase in the pension asset; |
| |
• | $86 million decrease in the liability for deferred pension; |
| |
• | $38 million increase in the liability for deferred income taxes; and |
| |
• | $68 million net decrease in cumulative other comprehensive loss, which resulted in an increase in total Weyerhaeuser shareholders' interest. |
EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFIT PAYMENTS
During 2011 we expect to:
| |
• | be required to contribute approximately $80 million to our Canadian registered and nonregistered pension plans; |
| |
• | contribute $19 million to our U.S. nonqualified pension plans and have no required contribution to the U.S. qualified plan; and |
| |
• | make benefit payments of $44 million to our U.S. and Canadian other postretirement plans. |

NOTE 12: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
This note provides details about our:
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to legal matters generally incidental to our business. The ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding:
| |
• | is subject to a great many variables and |
| |
• | cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. |
However, whenever probable losses from litigation could reasonably be determined – we believe that we have established adequate reserves. In addition, we believe the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings:
| |
• | could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given quarter or year; but |
| |
• | will not have a material adverse effect on our long-term results of operations, cash flows or financial position. |
Current Year Claim
On April 25, 2011, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of a person alleged to be a participant in the company’s U.S. Retirement Plan for salaried employees. The complaint alleges violations of the Employee Retirement Security Act (ERISA) with respect to the management of the plan’s assets and seeks certification as a class action. The company believes that its pension plans have been consistently managed in full compliance with established fiduciary standards and is vigorously contesting the claim. The company has filed a motion to dismiss the claim.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Our environmental matters include:
| |
• | asset retirement obligations, |
| |
• | regulation of air emissions in the U.S. and |
| |
• | regulation of water in the U.S. |
Site Remediation
Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act – commonly known as the Superfund – and similar state laws, we:
| |
• | are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and |
| |
• | have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated. |
As of June 30, 2011, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on the active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are responsible was $37 million. This includes a $12 million increase to the reserve that was accrued in second quarter 2011, of which $11 million is included in our results from discontinued operations.
We change our accrual to reflect:
| |
• | new information on any site concerning implementation of remediation alternatives, |
| |
• | updates on prior cost estimates and new sites and |
| |
• | costs incurred to remediate sites. |
We believe it is reasonably possible – based on currently available information and analysis – that remediation costs for all identified sites may exceed our accrual by up to $100 million.
That estimate – in which those additional costs may be incurred over several years – is the upper end of the range of reasonably possible additional costs. The estimate:
| |
• | is much less certain than the estimates on which our accruals currently are based and |
| |
• | uses assumptions that are less favorable to us among the range of reasonably possible outcomes. |
In estimating our current accruals and the possible range of additional future costs, we:
| |
• | assumed we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of every site, |
| |
• | took into account the ability of other potentially responsible parties to participate and |
| |
• | considered each party’s financial condition and probable contribution on a per-site basis. |
We have not recorded any amounts for potential recoveries from insurance carriers.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We have obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets consisting primarily of reforestation obligations related to forest management licenses in Canada and obligations to close and cap landfills. As of June 30, 2011, our total accruals for these obligations was $67 million. The accruals have not changed materially since the end of 2010.
Some of our sites have asbestos containing materials. We have met our current legal obligation to identify and manage these materials. In situations where we cannot reasonably determine when asbestos containing materials might be removed from the sites, we have not recorded an accrual because the fair value of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.
Regulation of Air Emissions in the U.S.
In March 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a set of final rules that require use of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for industrial boilers. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we had previously estimated that we might spend as much as $30 million to $100 million over the next few years to comply with the MACT standards as they were described in the proposed rule. After reviewing the final rules, we now estimate that we might spend as much as $30 million to $45 million over the next few years to comply with the MACT standards. The EPA has stated that they intend to reconsider portions of the final rules in the coming months. Depending on the final outcome of the reconsideration process, our cost projection may change.
Regulation of Water in the U.S.
As a result of litigation (some of which is ongoing), additional federal or state permits may be required in the future under the federal Clean Water Act in one or more of the states in which we operate in relation to pollution discharges from forest roads and other drainage features on forest land and the application of pesticides, including herbicides, on forest lands. Such permits, which have not yet been developed, may entail additional costs. However, we do not expect a disproportionate effect on Weyerhaeuser as compared to comparable operations of other forest landowners.
NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES
As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level tax on income of the REIT that is distributed to shareholders. We will, however, be subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than standing timber) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We also will continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS), which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business and the portion of our timberlands segment income included in the TRS.
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate. Our 2011 income tax rate excluding discrete items is lower than the statutory rate, primarily due to the tax benefits of being a REIT. Our 2010 income tax rate is higher than the statutory rate, primarily due to the effect of state and foreign income taxes on a low pretax earnings base. Tax benefits of being a REIT were not reflected in our first half 2010 income tax rate.
Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations excluding discrete items were:
| |
• | 9.8 percent for 2011 and |
Discrete items excluded from the calculation of our effective income tax rates include:
|
| | | |

Due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, we will no longer be able to claim an income tax deduction for prescription drug benefits provided to retirees and reimbursed under the Medicare Part D subsidy beginning in 2013. Accounting rules required the effect of the change to be recorded in first quarter 2010, the period that the law was enacted.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”)
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements concerning our future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements:
| |
• | use forward-looking terminology, |
| |
• | are based on various assumptions we make and |
| |
• | may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding the assumptions that we make. |
Factors listed in this section – as well as other factors not included – may cause our actual results to differ significantly from our forward-looking statements. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by our forward-looking statements will occur. Or if any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on our operations or financial condition.
We will not update our forward-looking statements after the date of this report.
FORWARD-LOOKING TERMINOLOGY
Some forward-looking statements discuss our plans, strategies and intentions. They use words such as expects, may, will, believes, should, approximately, anticipates, estimates, and plans. In addition, these words may use the positive or negative or other variations of those terms.
STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements of our expectations regarding third quarter 2011, including:
| |
• | lower selling prices and harvests volumes in the West, seasonally higher silviculture and road expenses, reduced earnings from dispositions of non-strategic timberlands and significantly lower earnings in our Timberlands segment; |
| |
• | lower selling prices for lumber and oriented strand board, lower sales volume across most products lines, offset by lower log costs and modest cost improvements and a comparable loss in our Wood Products segment excluding the hardwoods transaction; |
| |
• | substantially lower maintenance costs and improved production, partially offset by lower selling prices for pulp, somewhat higher shipment volumes, seasonally lower energy costs and significantly higher earnings in our Cellulose Fibers segment; and |
| |
• | slightly higher earnings from single-family homebuilding operations and a seasonal increase in home sale closings, continued strong margins and flat to slightly lower selling prices in our Real Estate segment. |
We base our forward-looking statements on a number of factors, including the expected effect of:
| |
• | foreign exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and Euro; |
| |
• | adverse litigation outcomes and the adequacy of reserves; |
| |
• | changes in accounting principles; |
| |
• | the effect of implementation or retrospective application of accounting methods; |
| |
• | contributions to pension plans; |
| |
• | projected benefit payments; |
| |
• | IRS audit outcomes and timing of settlements; and |
RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The major risks and uncertainties – and assumptions that we make – that affect our business include, but are not limited to:
| |
• | general economic conditions, including employment rates, housing starts, interest rate levels, availability of financing for home mortgages, strength of the U.S. dollar; |
| |
• | market demand for our products, which is related to the strength of the various business segments and economic conditions; |
| |
• | performance of our manufacturing operations, including maintenance requirements; |
| |
• | successful execution of our internal performance plans, including restructurings and cost reduction initiatives; |
| |
• | level of competition from domestic and foreign producers; |
| |
• | the effect of the Japanese tsunami on demand for company products; |
| |
• | the risk of loss from fires, floods, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestation and other natural disasters; |
| |
• | the effect of forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations; |
| |
• | the effect of timing of retirements and changes in the market price of our common stock on charges for share-based compensation; |
| |
• | changes in accounting principles; |
| |
• | performance of pension fund investments and related derivatives; and |
| |
• | other factors described under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K. |
EXPORTING ISSUES
We are a large exporter, affected by changes in:
| |
• | economic activity in Europe and Asia – particularly Japan and China; |
| |
• | currency exchange rates – particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar, Euro and Yen; and |
| |
• | restrictions on international trade or tariffs imposed on imports. |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:
| |
• | Price realizations refer to net selling prices – this includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. |
| |
• | Net contribution to earnings can be positive or negative and refers to earnings (loss) attributable to Weyerhaeuser shareholders before interest expense and income taxes. |
In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand the following:
| |
• | Net sales and revenues and operating income (loss) included in Consolidated Results below exclude the results of discontinued operations. |
| |
• | Net sales and revenues and contribution (charge) to earnings reported in the individual segment discussions that follow include the results of discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2: Discontinued Operations for a discussion of which segments include the results of our discontinued operations. |
In the following discussion, unless otherwise noted, references to increases or decreases in income and expense items, price realizations, shipment volumes, and net contributions to earnings are based on the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2010. The periods are also referred to as 2011 and 2010 or first half.

Comparing 2011 with 2010
In 2011:
| |
• | Net sales and revenues decreased $31 million – 2 percent – during second quarter and increased $108 million – 4 percent – during first half. |
| |
• | Net earnings decreased $4 million – 29 percent – during second quarter and increased $115 million during first half. |
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues decreased during the second quarter primarily due to the following:
| |
• | decreased price realizations for oriented stranded board (OSB) and structural lumber – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion; and |
| |
• | decreased number of homes closed – refer to the Real Estate segment discussion. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | increased pulp prices and volumes sold – refer to the Cellulose Fibers segment discussion; |
| |
• | increased volumes sold of OSB and structural lumber – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion; and |
| |
• | increased log prices and volumes sold – refer to the Timberlands segment discussion. |
Net sales and revenues increased during the first half primarily due to the above increases on a year-to-date basis more than offsetting the above decreases.
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders
Our net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders decreased during the second quarter primarily due to the following:
| |
• | lower OSB and structural lumber price realizations – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion; and |
| |
• | increased raw materials and other operating costs – refer to the Timberlands, Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers segment discussions. |
These decreases in our earnings during second quarter were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | higher pulp price realizations – refer to the Cellulose Fibers segment discussion; |
| |
• | reduction in our net interest expense – refer to the interest expense discussion; and |
| |
• | increased export and domestic log prices in the West and increased harvest levels in the West and South – refer to the Timberlands segment discussion. |
Net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders for first half increased due to second quarter items noted above and:
| |
• | recognition of a gain on sale of 82,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands in 2011 – refer to the Timberlands segment discussion; and |
| |
• | recognition of a tax charge in 2010 related to the federal tax law change for Medicare Part D subsidies – refer to the income tax discussion. |
These increases were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | recognition of a gain on the sale of certain British Columbia forest licenses and associated rights in 2010 – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion; and |
| |
• | recognition of gains on the sale of partnership interests in 2010 – refer to the Real Estate segment discussion. |

Comparing Second Quarter 2011 with Second Quarter 2010
Net sales and revenues – unaffiliated customers
Net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers increased $63 million – 28 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | Western log sales increased by $27 million due to increased sales volumes of 9 percent and increased price realizations of 12 percent driven by strong export demand. |
| |
• | Land exchanges and higher and better-use land sales increased by $21 million. |
| |
• | Southern log sales increased by $12 million due to increased sales volumes of 46 percent driven by increased harvest levels and increased sales of logs to third parties. |
Intersegment sales
Intersegment sales increased $11 million – 9 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | $6 million increase due to higher log and chip prices in the West and |
| |
• | $5 million increase due to increased Canadian log and chip sales volumes. |
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $42 million – 60 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | $20 million increase due to land exchanges and higher and better-use land sales; |
| |
• | $19 million increase primarily due to higher domestic and export prices in the West; and |
| |
• | $18 million increase primarily due to increased harvest levels of 24 percent in the West and 25 percent in the South. |
The above items were partially offset by:
| |
• | $11 million increase in operating costs primarily due to higher silviculture and fuel costs and |
| |
• | $5 million decrease due to lower prices for logs in the South. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2011 with Year-to-Date 2010
Net sales and revenues – unaffiliated customers
Net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers increased $91 million – 21 percent –primarily from the following:
| |
• | Western log sales increased by $55 million due to increased sales volumes of 10 percent and increased price realizations of 15 percent driven by strong export demand. |
| |
• | Southern log sales increased by $26 million due to increased sales volumes of 52 percent driven by increased harvest levels and increased sales of logs to third parties. |
| |
• | Land exchanges and higher and better-use land sales increased by $6 million. |
Intersegment sales
Intersegment sales increased $31 million – 11 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | $17 million increase due to increased Canadian log and chip sales volumes and |
| |
• | $14 million increase due to higher log and chip prices in the West. |
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $202 million primarily from the following:
| |
• | $152 million pretax gain on the first quarter 2011 sale of 82,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands in southwestern Washington; |
| |
• | $45 million increase primarily due to higher domestic and export prices in the West; |
| |
• | $23 million increase primarily due to increased harvest levels of 18 percent in the West and 13 percent in the South; and |
| |
• | $8 million increase due to land exchanges and higher and better-use land sales. |
The above items were partially offset by an increase of $22 million in operating costs primarily due to higher silviculture and fuel costs.
Our Outlook
We expect significantly lower earnings from the Timberlands segment in third quarter. We anticipate lower selling prices and harvest volumes in the West and seasonally higher silviculture and road expenses. We also expect reduced earnings from dispositions of non-strategic timberlands.

The anticipated spring building season failed to materialize during second quarter 2011 and tax credits that helped increase new home sales and construction in 2010 are no longer available in 2011. The lumber composite indicator price decreased for eleven consecutive weeks and indicator prices for oriented strand board (OSB) maintained a low point for several weeks. Margins on our engineered lumber products were higher as a result of price increases.
We continue to hold indefinitely curtailed engineered lumber facilities with a total carrying value of approximately $70 million as of June 30, 2011. Depreciation and other operating costs related to these facilities of $3 million and $7 million for the second quarter and year-to-date 2011, respectively, are included in the Wood Products results.
Comparing Second Quarter 2011 with Second Quarter 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues decreased $87 million – 11 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | Structural lumber average price realizations decreased 14 percent. |
| |
• | OSB average price realizations decreased 33 percent. |
| |
• | Other Products purchased for resale decreased as a result of exiting a composite decking product line. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | Structural lumber shipment volumes increased 9 percent. |
| |
• | OSB shipment volumes increased 14 percent. |
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $58 million primarily from the following:
| |
• | $82 million decrease due to sales price realizations, primarily for OSB and structural lumber; |
| |
• | $12 million increase in charges for restructuring, closure and asset impairments; and |
| |
• | $8 million increase in log costs as domestic prices increased in the West driven by strong export demand. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | $28 million decrease in manufacturing costs primarily due to increased operating rates and |
| |
• | $16 million decrease in selling and administrative costs primarily due to previous cost reduction efforts. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2011 with Year-to-Date 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues decreased $67 million – 5 percent – primarily from the following:
| |
• | Structural lumber average price realizations decreased 8 percent. |
| |
• | OSB average price realizations decreased 22 percent. |
| |
• | Engineered I-joists shipment volumes decreased 25 percent. |
| |
• | Engineered solid section shipment volumes decreased 15 percent. |
| |
• | Other Products purchased for resale decreased as a result of exiting a composite decking product line. |

| |
• | $20 million increase in log costs as domestic prices increased in the West driven by strong export demand; and |

• | $13 million increase in charges for restructuring, closure and asset impairments, of which $9 million relates to the sale of our hardwoods operations. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
| |
• | $44 million decrease in manufacturing costs primarily due to increased operating rates and |
| |
• | $31 million decrease in selling and administrative costs primarily due to previous cost reduction efforts. |
Our Outlook
Excluding the hardwoods transaction, we anticipate a comparable loss from the segment in third quarter. We expect lower selling prices for lumber and OSB and lower sales volumes across most product lines, offset by lower log costs and modest cost improvements.

Comparing 2011 with 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased $58 million – 12 percent – primarily due to the following:
| |
• | Pulp price realizations increased by $104 per ton – 12 percent – primarily due to tight global softwood pulp inventories; |
| |
• | Sales volumes for pulp increased 13,000 tons – 3 percent; and |
| |
• | Liquid packaging board price realizations increased by $103 per ton – 9 percent – due to a favorable mix shift to coated board sales and an increase in market price. |
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes for liquid packaging board of 6,000 tons – 7 percent.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $6 million – 8 percent – primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $44 million increase due to higher pulp price realizations; and |
| |
• | $8 million improvement in liquid packaging board price realizations. |
Partially offsetting these increases in earnings is the following:
| |
• | $29 million increase in operating costs, maintenance, freight, and the effect on Canadian operating costs of the weakening U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar; and |
| |
• | $15 million increase in fiber and chemical cost due to rising prices. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2011 with Year-to-Date 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased $154 million – 18 percent – primarily due to the following:
| |
• | Pulp price realizations increased by $127 per ton – 16 percent – primarily due to tight global softwood pulp inventories; |
| |
• | Sales volumes for pulp increased 27,000 tons – 3 percent; and |
| |
• | Liquid packaging board price realizations increased by $98 per ton – 9 percent – due to a favorable mix shift to coated board sales and an increase in market price. |
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $73 million – 78 percent – primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $110 million increase due to higher pulp price realizations; |
| |
• | $15 million improvement in liquid packaging board price realizations; and |
| |
• | $6 million increase in other product realizations. |
Partially offsetting these increases in earnings are the following:
| |
• | $41 million increase in operating costs, maintenance, freight, and the effect on Canadian operating costs of the weakening U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar; and |
| |
• | $18 million increase primarily due to fiber and chemical cost as a result from rising prices. |
Our Outlook
We expect significantly higher earnings from the Cellulose Fibers segment in third quarter. The company anticipates substantially lower maintenance costs and increased production, partially offset by lower selling prices for pulp.

______________________________

(1) | Single-family gross margin equals revenue less cost of sales and period costs (other than impairments and deposit write-offs). |
Markets for new homes are highly differential across our operations with uneven demand patterns. Buyers have been attracted by housing affordability and low mortgage rates, but tight mortgage qualifications requirements remain a challenge. In addition, tax credits available to many buyers in 2010 are no longer available in 2011. Although the supply of new homes is at record lows, most of our markets have been affected by high levels of foreclosure inventories, high unemployment and low consumer confidence. We experienced a decrease in traffic in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010; however, our traffic conversion rate improved 25 percent in the second quarter and 36 percent year-to-date.
Comparing Second Quarter 2011 with Second Quarter 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues decreased $66 million – 26 percent – primarily from:
| |
• | Home closings declined 27 percent to 459 in second quarter 2011 from 625 in second quarter 2010. |
| |
• | Revenues from land and lot sales decreased $12 million. Land and lot sales are a routine part of our land development business, but they do not occur evenly throughout the year. |
These decreases in net sales and revenues were partially offset by a 5 percent increase in the average price of single-family homes closed to $391,000 in second quarter 2011 from $371,000 in second quarter 2010, primarily due to a shift in mix. Changes in mix reflect changes in product lines (entry-level homes versus move-up products) or changes in geographic markets where the closings occur.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $19 million primarily from:
| |
• | $15 million decrease in contribution from single-family operations, primarily due to fewer home closings and |
| |
• | $9 million decrease in contribution from land and lot sales. |
These decreases in earnings were partially offset by a $5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Comparing Year-to-Date 2011 with Year-to-Date 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues decreased $57 million – 14 percent – primarily from:
| |
• | Home closings declined 19 percent to 822 in 2011 from 1,018 in 2010. |
| |
• | Revenues from land and lot sales decreased $12 million. |
These decreases in net sales and revenues were partially offset by a 9 percent increase in the average price of single-family homes closed to $404,000 in 2011 from $369,000 in 2010, primarily due to a shift in mix.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $51 million primarily from:
| |
• | $33 million decrease in contribution from the sale of partnership interests - 2010 first quarter included the sale of interests in two commercial partnerships, |
| |
• | $16 million decrease in contribution from single-family operations due to fewer home closings and |
| |
• | $11 million decrease in contribution from land and lot sales. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following improvements:
| |
• | $6 million increase in contribution from single-family operations resulting from higher margins due to the higher average price of homes closed. The gross margin percentage of approximately 22 percent was comparable year over year. |
| |
• | $4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Our Outlook
We anticipate slightly higher earnings from single-family homebuilding operations in third quarter due to a seasonal increase in home sale closings.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
Corporate and Other includes results of our transportation operations, certain gains or charges that are not related to an individual operating segment and the portion of items such as share-based compensation, pension and postretirement costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and other general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. We sold our five short line railroads at the end of 2010. We entered into an agreement to sell Westwood Shipping Lines, our last transportation business, in a transaction that is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in third quarter. Westwood results are included in Corporate and Other for all periods presented in this report.

Comparing Second Quarter 2011 with Second Quarter 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues were the same as second quarter 2010. Westwood revenues increased as a result of higher volumes and prices. Second quarter 2011 does not include revenues of five short line railroads that we sold at the end of 2010.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $30 million primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $25 million increase in pension and postretirement costs primarily due to the amortization of deferred pension losses and |
| |
• | $11 million increase in environmental remediation expense related to discontinued operations. |
These decrease were partially offset by a $9 million change in foreign exchange primarily as a result of a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2011.
Comparing Year-to-Date 2011 with Year-to-Date 2010
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased $6 million – 5 percent. Westwood revenues increased as a result of higher volumes and prices. Year-to-date 2011 does not include revenues of five short line railroads that we sold at the end of 2010.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $83 million primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $53 million increase in pension and postretirement costs primarily due to the amortization of deferred pension losses; |
| |
• | $12 million due to a 15 percent increase in our stock price in first half 2011, which resulted in higher share-based compensation expense; and |
| |
• | $11 increase in environmental remediation expense related to discontinued operations. |
INTEREST EXPENSE
Our net interest expense incurred was:
| |
• | $117 million during second quarter and $210 million during first half 2011. |
| |
• | $155 million during second quarter and $261 million during first half 2010. |
Interest expense incurred decreased primarily due to lower charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt and lower interest due to a lower level of debt.
Second quarter and first half 2010 net interest expense includes a pretax charge of $49 million, which included early retirement premiums, unamortized debt issuance costs and other miscellaneous charges in connection with the early extinguishment of debt.
At the beginning of June 2011, we exercised our right to call approximately $518 million of 6.75 percent notes due in 2012. We recognized a pretax charge in second quarter 2011 of $26 million, which included early retirement premiums, unamortized debt issuance costs and other miscellaneous charges in connection with the early extinguishment of debt. This charge is included in our net interest expense.
INCOME TAXES
As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level tax on income of the REIT that is distributed to shareholders. We will, however, be subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than standing timber) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We also will continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS), which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business and the portion of our timberlands segment income included in the TRS.
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate. Our 2011 income tax rate excluding discrete items is lower than the statutory rate, primarily due to the tax benefits of being a REIT. Our 2010 income tax rate is higher than the statutory rate, primarily due to the effect of state and foreign income taxes on a low pretax earnings base. Tax benefits of being a REIT were not reflected in our first half 2010 income tax rate.
Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations excluding discrete items were:
| |
• | 9.8 percent for 2011 and |
Discrete items excluded from the calculation of our effective income tax rates include:
|
| | | |

Due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, we will no longer be able to claim an income tax deduction for prescription drug benefits provided to retirees and reimbursed under the Medicare Part D subsidy beginning in 2013. Accounting rules required the effect of the change to be recorded in first quarter 2010, the period that the law was enacted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are committed to maintaining a sound and conservative capital structure which enables us to:
| |
• | protect the interests of our shareholders and lenders and |
| |
• | have access at all times to all major financial markets. |
Two important elements of our policy governing capital structure include:
| |
• | viewing the capital structure of Forest Products separately from that of Real Estate given the very different nature of their assets and business activity and |
| |
• | minimizing liquidity risk by managing a combination of maturing short-term and long-term debt. |
The amount of debt and equity for Forest Products and Real Estate will reflect the following:
| |
• | basic earnings capacity and |
| |
• | liquidity characteristics of their respective assets. |
CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Cash from operations includes:
| |
• | cash received from customers; |
| |
• | cash paid to employees, suppliers and others; |
| |
• | cash paid for interest on our debt; and |
Consolidated net cash provided by our operations was:
Comparing 2011 with 2010
Net cash from operations decreased $360 million in 2011 as compared with 2010 primarily due to the following:
| |
• | Net cash inflows related to income taxes decreased $460 million. We paid taxes of $15 million in 2011 and received income tax refunds of $445 million in 2010. |
| |
• | Cash paid to employees, suppliers and others increased approximately $65 million. |
Partially offsetting the above decreases was an increase in cash we received from customers of approximately $173 million primarily due to:
| |
• | Increased price realizations and sales volumes from our Cellulose Fibers and Timberlands segments and |
| |
• | Increased sales volumes from our Wood Products segment. |
These increases were partially offset by decreased price realizations for OSB and structural lumber in our Wood products segment.
CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash from investing activities can include:
| |
• | acquisitions of property, equipment, timberlands and reforestation; |
| |
• | investments in or distribution from equity affiliates; |
| |
• | proceeds from sale of assets and operations; and |
| |
• | purchases and redemptions of short-term investments. |
In first half 2010, the pension trust repaid $146 million of short-term loans made in 2008 and 2009.

We anticipate that our net capital expenditures for 2011 – excluding acquisitions – will be approximately $250 million to $270 million. However, that range could change due to:
| |
• | future economic conditions, |
| |
• | timing of equipment purchases. |
Proceeds from the Sale of Nonstrategic Assets
Proceeds received from the sale of nonstrategic assets were $196 million in 2011. This included $192 million for the sale of 82,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands in southwestern Washington.
We entered into agreements in June 2011 to sell our hardwoods and Westwood Shipping Lines operations and expect to receive cash of approximately $135 million plus a promissory note in third quarter 2011, subject to adjustments for working capital levels at closing. The Westwood transaction is subject to regulatory approval.
Proceeds received from the sale of nonstrategic assets were $130 million in 2010. This included:
| |
• | $42 million for the sale of Wood Products assets, |
| |
• | $40 million for the sale of British Columbia forest licenses and associated rights, |
| |
• | $33 million for the sale of partnership interests in our Real Estate segment and |
| |
• | $15 million for the sale of other non-strategic assets. |
CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash from financing activities can include:
| |
• | issuances and payment of long-term debt, |
| |
• | borrowings and payments under revolving lines of credit, |
| |
• | changes in our book overdrafts, |
| |
• | proceeds from stock offerings and option exercises and |
| |
• | payment of cash dividends. |
Debt
We repaid debt of:
| |
• | $550 million in first half 2011 and |
| |
• | $568 million in first half 2010. |
At the beginning of June 2011, we exercised our right to call approximately $518 million of 6.75 percent notes due in 2012.

During June 2011, Weyerhaeuser Company and Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO) entered into a new $1.0 billion 4-year revolving credit facility that expires in June 2015. This replaces a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that was set to expire December 2011. WRECO can borrow up to $50 million under this facility. Neither of the entities is a guarantor of the borrowing of the other under this credit facility.
There were no net proceeds from the issuance of debt or from borrowings (repayments) under our available credit facility in the first half of 2011 or 2010.

OTHER RELATED DISCLOSURES
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
The recent earthquakes and tsunami that struck the northeast coast of Japan has created uncertainty regarding the effect on general economic and market conditions in Japan. A number of our businesses supply products or services to Japanese customers and approximately 2 percent of our revenues are from sales of products or services to customers that have facilities located in the disaster area. The immediate effect of the disaster was an increase in demand for some products and services (such as newsprint, liquid packaging board and shipping), and a decrease in demand for some other products (such as lumber and logs), which was offset by increased exports to other areas of Asia. Longer-term, there may be increased demand for products such as lumber and logs needed in the rebuilding effort. This is an evolving situation; we are in contact with our customers and are continuing to assess the effect on our businesses. We currently believe that these events will not have a material effect on our results of operations in 2011.
