RAYONIER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)


1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC (the “2014 Form 10-K”).
Reclassifications
Certain 2014 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including changes in balance sheet presentation. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified seeds and seedlings from Inventory and Other Assets to Timber and Timberlands, Net to better reflect the intended use of the assets. Rayonier also reclassified long-term higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands and real estate development costs from Other Assets to a separate balance sheet caption. These adjustments are reflected in the June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Corresponding changes have also been made to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for both periods presented.
Certain 2014 amounts have also been adjusted for reclassification of discontinued operations. Rayonier completed the spin-off of its Performance Fibers business on June 27, 2014. Accordingly, the operating results of this business segment are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the prior-year period. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Performance Fibers business that remained with Rayonier are reported in continuing operations.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 has not been restated to exclude Performance Fibers cash flows.
See Note 2Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business.
New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized and will require enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new standard, with an option for organizations to adopt early based on the original effective date. This standard will be effective for Rayonier beginning January 1, 2018 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the Balance Sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2015-03 in the Company’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

     In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015–07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU No. 2015–07 requires that investments for which the fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient (investments in funds measured at NAV) under “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Topic 820) be excluded from the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2015–07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2015–07 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2015–07 in the Company’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Quarterly Dividend
On July 20, 2015, the Company announced a third quarter dividend of 25 cents per share payable September 30, 2015, to shareholders of record on September 16, 2015.

See Note 15Debt for discussion of debt refinancing and planned recapitalization of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture.

2.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Spin-Off of the Performance Fibers Business
On June 27, 2014, Rayonier completed the tax-free spin-off of its Performance Fibers business and retained its timber, real estate and trading businesses. The spin-off resulted in two independent, publicly-traded companies, with the Performance Fibers business being spun-off to Rayonier shareholders as a newly formed public company named Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (“Rayonier Advanced Materials”). On June 27, 2014, the shareholders of record received one share of Rayonier Advanced Materials common stock for every three common shares of Rayonier held as of the close of business on the record date of June 18, 2014.
In connection with the spin-off, Rayonier Advanced Materials distributed $906.2 million in cash to Rayonier from $550 million in Senior Notes issued by Rayonier A.M. Products (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Advanced Materials), $325 million in term loans, and $75 million from a revolving credit facility Rayonier Advanced Materials entered into prior to the spin-off. Pursuant to the terms of the Internal Revenue Service spin-off ruling, $75 million of this cash was paid to Rayonier’s shareholders as dividends. Of this $75 million, $63.2 million was paid to shareholders as a special dividend in the third quarter of 2014.
In order to effect the spin-off and govern the Company’s relationship with Rayonier Advanced Materials after the spin-off, Rayonier and Rayonier Advanced Materials entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, an Intellectual Property Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Transition Services Agreement. See Note 3 — Discontinued Operations in the 2014 Form 10-K for further details concerning these agreements.
Rayonier will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Performance Fibers business going forward. Accordingly, the operating results of the Performance Fibers business, formerly disclosed as a separate reportable segment, are classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for all periods presented. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Performance Fibers segment are reported in continuing operations, as required.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-S99-3, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, the Company elected to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations where the debt is not directly attributed to the Performance Fibers business.  Interest expense has been allocated based on a ratio of net assets to be discontinued to the sum of consolidated net assets plus consolidated debt (other than debt directly attributable to the Timber and Real Estate operations). The following table summarizes the interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014:

(a)     Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. ASC 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the 2015 Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike price, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for all periods presented, except for second quarter 2015 due to the loss incurred in that period.
Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants sold in conjunction with the 2015 Notes if the stock price exceeds $28.11 per share. The exchange price on the warrants is lower than periods prior to second quarter 2014 as it has been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business. The warrants were not dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as the average stock price for these periods did not exceed the strike price. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt in the 2014 Form 10-K and Note 15Debt of this Form 10-Q.
(b)    For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the assumed conversion of the 2015 Notes, as well as incremental shares related to stock options, performance shares, and restricted shares, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

4.     INCOME TAXES
The operations conducted by the Company’s real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities are generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation. Non-REIT qualifying operations are conducted by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. Prior to the June 27, 2014 spin-off of Rayonier Advanced Materials, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) operations included the Performance Fibers business. As such, during 2014 and prior periods the income tax benefit from continuing operations was significantly impacted by the TRS businesses. Subsequent to the spin-off, the primary businesses performed in Rayonier’s taxable REIT subsidiaries include log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the sale and entitlement of development HBU properties.
Provision for Income Taxes from Continuing Operations
The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory rate due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is principally related to the Matariki Forestry Group joint venture (the “New Zealand JV”). The prior year period’s benefit was due to losses at Rayonier's taxable operations primarily from interest and general administrative expenses not allowed to be allocated to the discontinued operations of the Performance Fibers business and is not comparable to the current year.

5.     HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Rayonier continuously assesses potential alternative uses of its timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. The Company periodically transfers, via a sale or contribution from the REIT to TRS, HBU timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. The Company also acquires HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, the Company also selectively pursues various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, Rayonier also invests in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties.
An analysis of higher and better use timberlands and real estate development costs from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 is shown below:

6.
RESTRICTED DEPOSITS
In order to qualify for like-kind exchange (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $2.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
On June 27, 2014, the Company spun-off its Performance Fibers business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2Discontinued Operations for additional information. Effective with the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company realigned its segments considering the economic characteristics of each business unit and the way management internally evaluates business performance and makes capital allocation decisions. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the newly realigned segment structure. See Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition Our Company and Results of Operations for additional information.
Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value. Intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the company does not produce asset information by segment internally.
Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s New Zealand JV uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposure to foreign currency risk due to the translation of the investment in Rayonier’s New Zealand-based operations from New Zealand dollars to U.S. dollars.
Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the Company’s investment in New Zealand is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for all periods presented.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Option Contracts
The functional currency of Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”) and the New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand JV is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The timber operations of the New Zealand JV are typically hedged 50 percent to 90 percent of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases, 50 percent to 75 percent of forecasted sales and purchases for the forward three to 12 months and up to 50 percent of the forward 12 to 18 months. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand JV’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of June 30, 2015, foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through December 2016.

Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments that were entered into subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of a majority interest in the New Zealand JV qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
In December 2014, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange contract to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when translating RNZ’s balance sheet to U.S. dollars. This contract hedges a portion of the Company’s net investment in New Zealand and qualifies as a net investment hedge. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange contract is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The ineffectiveness of the foreign currency exchange contract is measured using the spot rate method, whereby the change in the fair value of the contract, other than the change attributable to movements in the spot rate, is excluded from the measure of hedge ineffectiveness and is reported directly in earnings. The Company does not expect any ineffectiveness or changes other than those attributable to movements in the spot rate as the critical risks of the forward contract and the net investment in RNZ coincide. This foreign currency exchange contract matures on December 21, 2015.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the New Zealand JV’s exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt attributable to changes in the New Zealand Bank bill rate. By converting a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates the Company has reduced the impact of interest rate changes on its expected future cash outflows. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s interest rate contracts hedged 81 percent of the New Zealand JV’s variable rate debt and had maturity dates through January 2020.
See Note 15Debt for discussion of debt refinancing and planned recapitalization of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture subsequent to June 30, 2015.
Fuel Hedge Contracts
The Company has historically used fuel hedge contracts to manage its New Zealand JV’s exposure to changes in New Zealand’s domestic diesel prices. Due to the low volume of diesel fuel purchases made by the New Zealand JV in 2013, the Company decided to no longer hedge its diesel fuel purchases effective November 2013. There were no contracts remaining as of December 31, 2014.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Accounting Standards Codification established a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cashThe carrying amount is equal to fair market value.
Debt The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.
Interest rate swap agreements The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.
Foreign currency exchange contracts The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.
Foreign currency option contracts The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

CONTINGENCIES

Following the Company’s November 10, 2014 earnings release and filing of the restated interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 (the “November 2014 Announcement”), shareholders of the Company filed five putative class actions against the Company and Paul G. Boynton, Hans E. Vanden Noort, David L. Nunes, and H. Edwin Kiker arising from circumstances described in the November 2014 Announcement, entitled respectively:

Sating v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01395; filed November 12, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

Keasler v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01398, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01403, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

Christie v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01429, filed November 21, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and

Brown v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-08986, initially filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and later transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and assigned as Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01474.

On January 9, 2015, the five securities actions were consolidated into one putative class action entitled In re Rayonier Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 3:14-cv-01395-TJC-JBT, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. Two shareholders, the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers and the Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund moved for appointment as lead plaintiff on January 12, 2015, which was granted on February 25, 2015. On April 7, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”). In the Amended Complaint, plaintiffs added allegations as to and added as a defendant N. Lynn Wilson, a former officer of Rayonier. With the filing of the Amended Complaint, David L. Nunes and H. Edwin Kiker were dropped from the case as defendants. Defendants timely filed Motions to Dismiss on May 15, 2015. The court has set a hearing on the motion for August 25, 2015. At this preliminary stage, the Company cannot determine whether there is a reasonable likelihood a material loss has been incurred nor can the range of any such loss be estimated.

On November 26, 2014, December 29, 2014, January 26, 2015, February 13, 2015, and May 12, 2015, the Company received separate letters from shareholders requesting that the Company investigate or pursue derivative claims against certain officers and directors related to the November 2014 Announcement. Although these demands do not identify any claims against the Company, the Company could potentially incur certain obligations to advance expenses and provide indemnification to certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The Company may also incur expenses as a result of any costs arising from the investigation of the claims alleged in the various demands. At this preliminary stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted, nor can the range of potential expenses the Company may incur as a result of the obligations identified above be estimated.

In November 2014, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents related to the Company’s amended reports filed with the SEC on November 10, 2014. The Company is cooperating with the SEC and complying with the subpoena. The Company does not currently believe that the investigation will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, but cannot predict the timing or outcome of the SEC investigation.

The Company has also been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These pending lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Currently, the pension plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company lowered its return on asset assumption from 8.5 percent to 7.7 percent for 2015.

DEBT
As of March 31, 2015, the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 were exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2015. According to the indenture, the notes became exchangeable on May 15, 2015 through maturity. The notes mature in August of 2015 and the Company has both the ability and intent to refinance $100 million of these notes. Therefore, this amount is classified as long-term debt. Approximately $30 million of the exchangeable notes are expected to be paid with the Company’s available cash and, as such, are classified as current maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015.
Net draws of $27.0 million were made in the second quarter of 2015 on the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2015, the Company had available borrowings of $153.2 million under the revolving credit facility, net of $1.8 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit, and additional draws available of $100 million under the term credit agreement.
As of June 30, 2015, the New Zealand JV had $160 million of long-term variable rate debt maturing in September 2016. This debt is subject to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the 90-day New Zealand Bank bill rate (“BKBM”). However, the New Zealand JV uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its bank loan by swapping a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at June 30, 2015 was $129.0 million, or 81 percent of the variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities extending through January 2020. The periodic interest rate on New Zealand JV debt is BKBM plus 80 basis points with an additional 80 basis point credit line fee. The Company estimates the periodic effective interest rate on New Zealand JV debt for the second quarter was approximately 6.5% after consideration of interest rate swaps.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the New Zealand JV had made additional borrowings and repayments of $2.1 million on its working capital facility. Additional draws totaling $16 million remain available on the working capital facility. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $1.4 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party. Favorable changes in exchange rates through June 30, 2015 decreased debt on a U.S. dollar basis for the revolving facility and shareholder loan by $24.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
There were no other significant changes to the Company’s outstanding debt as reported in Note 13 — Debt in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Subsequent Event
On August 5, 2015, the Company announced the closing of a nine-year $350 million term loan facility and a five-year $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). In addition, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. Based on the swap rate, the company’s current leverage ratio and the pricing grid, the all-in fixed-rate cost of the term loan facility (net of estimated patronage payments) is expected to be approximately 3.3% and the floating-rate cost of the revolving credit facility will be LIBOR + 1.25%. The Company intends to use approximately $160 million of proceeds from the term loan facility to fund a capital infusion into the New Zealand JV, which the New Zealand JV will in turn use for repayment of all outstanding amounts under its existing NZ$235 million credit facility plus NZ$7 million of related fees and expenses (assuming an exchange rate of US$0.66 per NZ$1.00). The investment into the New Zealand JV is subject to certain closing conditions, including New Zealand Overseas Investment Office approval and the preparation of customary transaction documents. The remaining proceeds of the term loan facility will be used to fund repayment of the company’s 4.50% senior exchangeable notes maturing August 2015 (approximately $131 million), to fund repayment of amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility (approximately $45 million), to pay transaction fees and expenses (approximately $2 million), and for cash and general corporate purposes (approximately $12 million). In order to provide timing flexibility with respect to the New Zealand JV recapitalization, the term loan facility provides that proceeds can be drawn in up to two advances for up to eight months post-closing. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage, as well as other affirmative and negative covenants relating to, among other things, dividends, liens, mergers, dispositions of timber and timberlands, subsidiary debt, sales and issuances of capital stock of subsidiaries, and affiliate transactions.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Rayonier,” we mean Rayonier Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Rayonier Inc. included in Item 1 of this Report.
This MD&A is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors which may affect future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”) and information contained in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including Rayonier’s earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, and outlook, expected dividend rate, expected harvest schedules, timberland acquisitions, sales of non-strategic timberlands, the anticipated benefits of Rayonier’s business strategy, expected availability and access to borrowings, and other similar statements relating to Rayonier’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “anticipate” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in the Form 10-K and similar discussions included in other reports that we subsequently file with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and those expressed in forward-looking statements made in this document.
Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward- looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any subsequent disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

Our Company
We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with assets located in some of the most productive timber growing regions in the U.S. and New Zealand. Our revenues, operating income and cash flows are primarily derived from the following core business segments: Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber, Real Estate and Trading. As of June 30, 2015 we owned or leased under long-term agreements approximately 2.3 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. South (1.9 million acres) and U.S. Pacific Northwest (373,000 acres). We also have a 65 percent ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”), that owns or leases approximately 444,000 acres (303,000 net plantable acres) of timberlands in New Zealand.
The Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber segments include all activities related to the harvesting of timber and other non-timber income activities such as the leasing of properties for hunting, mineral extraction and cell towers. The New Zealand Timber segment also reflects any land sales that occur within our New Zealand portfolio.
The Real Estate segment includes all U.S. land sales disaggregated into four sales categories: Improved Development, Unimproved Development, Rural, and Non-Strategic / Timberlands.
The Trading segment includes log trading in New Zealand, conducted by the New Zealand JV in two core areas of business — managed export services on behalf of third parties and procured logs for export sale by the New Zealand JV.

Industry and Market Conditions
The demand for timber is directly related to the underlying demand for pulp, paper, lumber and other wood products. The significant majority of timber sold in our Southern Timber segment is consumed domestically. With a higher proportion of pulpwood, our Southern Timber segment relies heavily on downstream markets for pulp and paper, and to a lesser extent wood pellet markets. Our Pacific Northwest segment relies primarily on domestic customers but also exports a significant volume of timber, particularly to China. Both the Southern and Pacific Northwest segments rely on the strength of U.S. lumber markets as well as underlying housing starts. Our New Zealand Timber segment sells timber to domestic New Zealand wood products mills and also exports a significant portion of its volume to markets in China, Korea, and India. In addition to market dynamics in the Pacific Rim, the New Zealand Timber segment is subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which can impact the competitiveness of its products.
In the second quarter of 2015 in our Southern Timber segment, we continued to see strong pulpwood demand and steady demand for sawtimber. In our Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber segments, prices generally declined primarily due to lower demand from China, which also put pressure on domestic pricing in both regions.
For additional information on market conditions impacting our business, see Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Discussion of Timber Inventory and Sustainable Yield
See Item 1 — BusinessDiscussion of Timber Inventory and Sustainable Yield of our 2014 Form 10-K.

Southern Timber
Second quarter sales of $32.7 million increased $1.2 million versus the prior year period due to higher harvest volumes and improved pricing. Harvest volumes increased 13% to 1.3 million tons versus 1.1 million tons in the prior year period. Average sawtimber stumpage prices increased 4% to $27.33 per ton versus $26.16 per ton in the prior year period, while pulpwood stumpage prices increased 1% to $19.10 per ton versus $18.94 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber prices was driven by restricted supply as a result of wet weather, partially offset by increased harvest activity in lower-price sawtimber regions. The increase in average pulpwood prices was driven primarily by strong demand in the Company’s core pulpwood markets. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) increased 2% to $21.03 per ton versus $20.71 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $11.8 million increased $2.9 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes ($1.9 million), higher pricing ($0.1 million), and higher non-timber income ($1.9 million), which were partially offset by higher depletion rates ($0.6 million) and higher costs ($0.5 million). Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $24.4 million was $4.8 million above the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $68.2 million increased $2.8 million versus the prior year period due to higher harvest volumes and improved pricing. Harvest volumes increased 10% to 2.7 million tons versus 2.4 million tons in the prior year period. Average sawtimber stumpage prices increased 6% to $28.13 per ton versus $26.63 per ton in the prior year period, while pulpwood stumpage prices increased 1% to $18.96 per ton versus $18.74 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber prices was driven by restricted supply as a result of wet weather, partially offset by increased harvest activity in lower-price sawtimber regions. The increase in average pulpwood prices was driven primarily by strong demand in the Company’s core pulpwood markets. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) increased 3% to $21.37 per ton versus $20.71 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $24.2 million increased $4.8 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes ($3.2 million), higher pricing ($0.9 million), and higher non-timber income ($3.4 million), which were partially offset by higher depletion rates ($1.7 million) and costs ($1.0 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $51.2 million was $9.1 million above the prior year period.

Pacific Northwest Timber
Second quarter sales of $17.1 million decreased $8.0 million versus the prior year period due to the planned reduction of harvest volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower sawtimber prices. Harvest volumes declined 44% to 0.25 million tons versus 0.45 million tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 9% to $76.80 per ton versus $84.46 per ton in the prior year period, while delivered pulpwood prices increased 17% to $43.37 per ton versus $37.10 per ton in the prior year period. Weaker demand from China contributed to sawtimber price declines in the region, while strong local demand for pulpwood proximate to our properties resulted in lower haul costs and higher net stumpage prices. Operating income of $1.7 million decreased $7.1 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes ($5.5 million) and lower prices ($2.0 million), which were partially offset by higher non-timber income ($0.5 million) primarily as a result of a strong cedar market. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million was $9.4 million below the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $36.3 million decreased $21.8 million versus the prior year period due to the planned reduction of harvest volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower sawtimber prices. Harvest volumes declined 42% to 0.58 million tons versus 1.0 million tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 11% to $73.98 per ton versus $83.05 per ton in the prior year period, while delivered pulpwood prices increased 15% to $43.29 per ton versus $37.55 per ton in the prior year period. Weaker demand from China resulted in a lower export mix of 22% versus 24% in the prior year period and contributed to sawtimber price declines in the region. Operating income of $4.3 million decreased $17.1 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes ($13.0 million), lower prices ($4.6 million) and higher costs ($0.4 million), which were partially offset by higher non-timber income ($1.0 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million was $21.9 million below the prior year period.

New Zealand Timber
Second quarter sales of $39.2 million decreased $5.2 million versus the prior year period due to lower domestic and export product prices, which were partially offset by higher domestic pulpwood and export sawtimber volumes. Harvest volumes increased 11% to 0.58 million tons versus 0.52 million tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber declined 28% to $85.31 per ton versus $118.12 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber declined 21% to $66.96 per ton versus $84.64 per ton in the prior year period. The decline in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to weaker demand from China, while the decline in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$.74 per NZ$1.00 versus US$.86 per NZ$1.00). Operating loss of ($0.9) million versus operating income of $2.2 million in the prior year period was primarily due to the decrease in prices ($3.9 million) and foreign exchange losses ($2.0 million), which were partially offset by lower depletion rates ($1.7 million) and lower costs ($1.4 million). Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million was $3.7 million below the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $80.4 million decreased $1.9 million versus the prior year period due to lower domestic and export product prices, which were partially offset by higher domestic pulpwood and export sawtimber volumes. Harvest volumes increased 14% to 1.1 million tons versus 1.0 million tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber declined 22% to $93.21 per ton versus $119.15 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber declined 17% to $68.76 per ton versus $82.53 per ton in the prior year period. The decline in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to weaker demand from China, while the decline in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$.75 per NZ$1.00 versus US$.84 per NZ$1.00). Operating income of $4.8 million was comparable to the prior year period, as the decrease in prices ($4.8 million) and foreign exchange losses ($2.0 million) were largely offset by lower depletion rates ($2.9 million) and costs ($2.2 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $19.9 million was $1.0 million below the prior year period.

Trading
The Trading segment complements the New Zealand Timber segment by adding scale and achieving cost savings that directly benefit the New Zealand Timber segment. Trading also generally contributes modestly to earnings without significant investment and provides market intelligence that benefits the timber business.
Second quarter sales of $19.8 million decreased $9.4 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes and prices primarily as a result of continued weak demand in China. Sales volumes decreased 1.3% to 234,000 tons versus 237,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices decreased 29.4% to $84.16 per ton versus $119.28 per ton in the prior year period. Operating loss of $0.1 million was comparable to the prior year period.

Year-to-date sales of $40.5 million decreased $24.4 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes and prices as a result of unfavorable China market conditions. Sales volumes decreased 12.7% to 448,000 tons versus 513,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices decreased 27.8% to $88.58 per ton versus $122.67 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income increased $0.7 million versus the prior year period, as the reductions in price and volume were more than offset by favorable costs and NZ$/US$ exchange gains ($1.3 million).

Other Items
Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations
Second quarter and year-to-date corporate and other operating expenses of $7.3 million and $13.2 million decreased $2.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, versus the prior year periods primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business. Second quarter and year-to-date corporate and other operating expenses include $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of costs related to the shareholder litigation (“costs related to shareholder litigation”). Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 12—Contingencies.
Interest Expense
Second quarter and year-to-date interest expense of $8.5 million and $17.0 million decreased $7.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, versus the prior year periods primarily due to lower outstanding debt and $5.0 million of interest expense related to an early repayment of debt in the prior year periods.
Other Non-Operating Expense
Second quarter and year-to-date other non-operating expenses of $1.2 million and $2.7 million decreased $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, primarily due to $3.8 million of costs related to the spin-off in the prior year period, partially offset by unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on New Zealand joint venture interest rate swaps.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
The second quarter and year-to-date income tax benefit from continuing operations was $0.3 million and $0.7 million versus an income tax expense of $13.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in the prior year periods. The current quarter and year-to-date tax benefit is principally related to the New Zealand joint venture. The expense in the prior year periods was primarily related to the Performance Fibers business.
Share Repurchases
During the second quarter the Company repurchased approximately $10.7 million of common stock at an average price of $25.94 per share. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had 126.5 million shares of common stock outstanding and $89.3 million remaining in its current share repurchase authorization.
Outlook
In our Southern Timber segment, we anticipate continued strong pulpwood demand and prices in our key market areas. We continue to expect that the gradual improvement in U.S. housing demand will drive increases in Southern sawtimber prices over the long term; however, we expect limited upside to current prices through the remainder of 2015. In our Pacific Northwest and New Zealand segments, we anticipate near-term weakness in the China export market will weigh on prices but that export demand will gradually improve, although likely at a slower pace than we expected earlier in the year. In our Real Estate segment, we continue to see steady demand for rural properties and increasing interest in selected development properties as we execute on our strategy and develop catalysts for demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of cash is cash flow from operations, primarily the harvesting of timber and sales of real estate. Our main use of cash is dividends due to the REIT distribution requirements. We also use cash to maintain the productivity of our timberlands through replanting and silviculture. Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flow and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund working capital needs while acquisitions of timberlands generally require funding from external sources.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The decline in cash provided by operating activities in 2015 was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the results of the Performance Fibers business in the prior year period before the June 27, 2014 spin-off. Year-to-date 2015 also benefited from lower working capital requirements.
Cash Used for Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities increased $11.9 million in the first half of 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to the lower change in restricted cash ($58.9 million) and higher timberland acquisitions ($13.6 million) in the current period. Partially offsetting these increases was a $7.5 million and $47.1 million decrease in capital expenditures from continuing and discontinued operations, respectively, and a $2.0 million decrease in real estate development costs compared to the prior year period.
Cash Used for Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities declined $67.1 million from the prior year period. Of the decrease, $106.4 million is due to the net cash disbursed upon spin-off of the Performance Fibers business. Additionally, dividend payments decreased $61.2 million compared to prior year due to the change in the dividend rate from $0.49 per share to $0.25 per share on a post-spin basis. These decreases were partially offset by net debt issuances of $27.7 million in first half of 2015 versus $118.9 million in first half of 2014. Repurchases of common stock increased $7.2 million and included $9.0 million of shares repurchased in connection with the Board of Directors’ approval to repurchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common shares.

Table of Contents

Expected 2015 Expenditures
Capital expenditures in 2015 are expected to be approximately $65 million, excluding any strategic timberland acquisitions we may make. Capital expenditures are expected to be primarily comprised of seedling planting, fertilization and other silvicultural activities, and other capitalized costs. Aside from capital expenditures, we may also make strategic timberland acquisitions as we actively evaluate acquisition opportunities. We also expect to invest approximately $7 million in 2015 for land use entitlements and infrastructure improvements to increase the value and marketability of selected real estate properties.
Our 2015 dividend payments are expected to be approximately $127 million assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.25 per share.
Future share repurchases, if any, will depend on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow, as well as general market conditions and other considerations.
We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2015 but may make discretionary contributions in the future. On an ongoing basis, cash income tax payments are expected to be minimal. During 2015, we may repatriate approximately $27 million of proceeds received from the sale of our forestry assets to the New Zealand JV when it was formed in 2005. If this occurs, we anticipate that cash payments for income taxes in 2015 will be approximately $3 million.

Performance and Liquidity Indicators
The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, liquidity, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures of financial results: Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above. Management considers these measures to be important to estimate the enterprise and shareholder values of the Company as a whole and of its core segments, and for allocating capital resources. In addition, analysts, investors and creditors use these measures when analyzing our operating performance, financial condition and cash generating ability. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and CAD as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA and CAD as defined may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land sold and real estate development costs recovered upon sale, costs related to shareholder litigation, and in 2014 costs related to the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business, discontinued operations, and internal review and restatement costs. Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder’s derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 12—Contingencies.
We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income for the consolidated Company and to Operating Income for the Segments, as those are the nearest GAAP measures for each. Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods (in millions of dollars):

CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period which is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding strategic acquisitions), real estate development costs, cash provided by discontinued operations and working capital and other balance sheet changes. In compliance with SEC requirements for non-GAAP measures, we reduce CAD by mandatory debt repayments which results in the measure entitled “Adjusted CAD.”

(a)
Capital expenditures exclude timberland acquisitions of $88.4 million and $74.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.
Adjusted CAD increased in the current year as lower operating results from continuing operations was more than offset by lower interest, lower tax payments and lower capital expenditures from continuing operations and real estate development costs. Adjusted CAD generated in any period is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be generated in future periods.
Liquidity Facilities
Net draws of $29.0 million were made in the first half on the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2015, the Company had available borrowings of $153.2 million, net of $1.8 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit, under the revolving credit facility and additional draws available of $100.0 million under the term credit agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the New Zealand JV made additional borrowings and repayments of $2.1 million on its working capital facility. Additional draws totaling $17.0 million remain available on the working capital facility. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $1.4 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party. Favorable changes in exchange rates through June 30, 2015 decreased debt on a U.S. dollar basis for the revolving facility and shareholder loan by $24.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
In connection with our term credit agreement and credit facility, covenants must be met, including ratios based on the covenant definition of EBITDA, ratios based on consolidated funded debt compared to consolidated net worth, and ratios of subsidiary debt to consolidated net tangible assets. Covenants must also be met in connection with the New Zealand JV’s credit facility, including ratios of debt to forestry and land valuations and ratios of operating cash flows to financing costs. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. In addition to these financial covenants, the mortgage note, term credit agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others.
See Note 15Debt for discussion of debt refinancing and planned recapitalization of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture subsequent to June 30, 2015.

Contractual Financial Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material changes to the Contractual Obligations table as presented in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2014 Form 10-K. See Note 11Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of June 30, 2015. For information on our outstanding debt and derivative purchase obligations as of June 30, 2015 see Note 15Debt and Note 9Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, respectively.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market and Other Economic Risks
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market risks. We use derivatives in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Derivatives are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As of June 30, 2015 we had $60 million of U.S. long-term variable rate debt which is subject to interest rate risk. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in a corresponding increase/decrease of approximately $0.6 million in interest payments and expense over a 12 month period. Our primary interest rate exposure on variable rate debt results from changes in LIBOR.
As of June 30, 2015, our New Zealand JV had $160 million of long-term variable rate debt. This debt is subject to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the 90 day New Zealand Bank bill rate (“BKBM”). However, the New Zealand JV uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its bank loan by swapping a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at June 30, 2015 was $129 million, or 81 percent of the variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities extending through January 2020. The periodic interest rate on New Zealand JV debt is BKBM plus 80 basis points with an additional 80 basis point credit line fee. We estimate the periodic effective interest rate on New Zealand JV debt for the second quarter was approximately 6.5% after consideration of interest rate swaps.
The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is also subject to interest rate risk. The estimated fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt at June 30, 2015 was $482 million compared to the $478 million principal amount. We use interest rates of debt with similar terms and maturities to estimate the fair value of our debt. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in prevailing interest rates at June 30, 2015 would result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt of approximately $20 million.
The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. Through these operations and our ownership in the New Zealand JV, we are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash held in foreign currencies and on foreign export sales and ocean freight payments that are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. To mitigate these risks, the New Zealand JV routinely enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of the New Zealand JV’s foreign exchange exposure. At June 30, 2015, the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of $28 million and foreign currency option contracts with a notional amount of $136 million outstanding. The amount hedged represents 67 percent of forecast U.S. dollar denominated harvesting sales proceeds over the next 18 months and 31 percent of log trading sales proceeds over the next 3 months. In December 2014, we entered into a foreign currency exchange contract with a notional amount of $24 million. The foreign currency contract is designated as a net investment hedge of our New Zealand based-operations to mitigate our risk to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For additional information regarding our derivative balances and activity, see Note 9Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
See Note 15Debt for discussion of debt refinancing and planned recapitalization of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture subsequent to June 30, 2015.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rayonier management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), are designed with the objective of ensuring information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported or submitted within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control exceptions and instances of fraud have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In 1996, we began a Common Share repurchase program (the “anti-dilutive program”) to minimize the dilutive effect of our employee incentive stock plans on earnings per share. This program limits the number of shares that may be purchased each year to the greater of 1.5 percent of outstanding shares at the beginning of the year or the number of incentive shares issued to employees during the year. In October 2000, July 2003 and October 2011, our board of directors authorized the purchase of additional shares in the program totaling 2.1 million shares. None of these shares have expiration dates. There were no shares purchased under this program in the second quarter of 2015 and there were 3,836,655 shares available for purchase at June 30, 2015.
In June 2015, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of Rayonier’s common shares (the “share repurchase program”) to be made at management’s discretion. The program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were 412,500 shares repurchased under this program in the second quarter of 2015 and there was $89.3 million, or approximately 3,495,027 shares based on the period end closing stock price of $25.55, available for repurchase as of June 30, 2015.
