OUR BUS****INESS
Weyerhaeuser Company is one of the world's largest private owners of timberlands. We own or control more than 10 million acres of timberlands in the U.S. and manage long-term licenses covering more than 14 million acres in Canada. We manage these timberlands on a sustainable basis in compliance with internationally recognized forestry standards. Our objective is to maximize the long-term value of timberlands we own. We analyze each timberland acre comprehensively to understand its highest-value use. We realize this value in many ways, most notably through growing and harvesting the trees, but also by selling properties when we can create incremental value. In addition, we focus on opportunities to realize value through lease and royalty agreements for the surface and subsurface rights that exist in our ownership, including through our Climate Solutions business.
We are also one of the largest manufacturers of wood products in North America. We manufacture and distribute high-quality wood products, including structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and other specialty products. These products are primarily supplied to the residential, multi-family, repair and remodel, industrial and light commercial markets. We operate 33 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada.
Sustainability and citizenship are part of our core values. In addition to practicing sustainable forestry, we focus on energy and resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources and offering sustainable products that meet our customers' needs. Our sustainably managed forests and our wood products play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and we remove substantially more carbon than we emit each year. We outperform national industry safety rates, actively support the communities in which we operate and communicate transparently with our investors and other stakeholders. We are recognized for our leading performance in the areas of ethics, citizenship and gender equality.
This portion of our Annual Report on Form 10-K provides detailed information about who we are and what we do. Unless otherwise specified, current information reported in this Form 10-K is as of or for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Throughout this Form 10-K, unless specified otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the company” refer to the consolidated company. We break out financial information such as revenues, earnings and assets by the business segments that comprise our company. We also discuss the geographic areas where we do business.
WE CAN TELL YOU MORE
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We meet the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing periodic reports (annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q), current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports and statements, which contain information about our business, financial results, corporate governance and other matters, as well as amendments to these reports and statements, are available at:
| | the SEC website — www.sec.gov and |
| | our website (free of charge) — www.weyerhaeuser.com. |
When we file or furnish information electronically with the SEC, it is also posted to our website.
WHO WE ARE
We were incorporated as Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in the state of Washington in January 1900, when Frederick Weyerhaeuser and 15 partners bought 900 thousand acres of timberland. Today, we are working to be the world's premier timber, land and forest products company for our shareholders, customers and employees.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT)
Weyerhaeuser Company qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), and REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without first paying corporate level tax, which substantially eliminates the double taxation of income. We own a substantial amount of our timberland assets through two subsidiaries: Weyerhaeuser Timber Holdings, Inc., which holds our western timberland assets and began qualifying as a REIT beginning in the tax year 2022; and Weyerhaeuser Forest Holdings, Inc., which holds our southern timberland assets and began qualifying as a REIT beginning in the tax year 2025. We expect to derive most of our REIT income from our timberlands, including gains from the sales of our standing timber and rent from recreational leases. We are required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which include our Wood Products segment and a portion of our Timberlands and Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segments.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS
In our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) section you will find discussion of our overall performance results for our business segments, which are as follows:
| | Timberlands; |
| | Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) and |
| | Wood Products. |
Detailed financial information about our business segments and our geographic locations is provided in Note 2: Business Segments and Note 19: Geographic Areas. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) segment will be renamed Strategic Land Solutions. The segment will include the following businesses: Real Estate, Natural Resources and Climate Solutions.
EFFECT OF MARKET CONDITIONS
The health of the U.S. housing market strongly affects the performance of all our business segments. Our Wood Products segment primarily sells into the new residential building and repair and remodel markets. Demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products as well as export markets. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., generally characterized by a reduction in activity during the winter months, which in turn affects the demand for our logs and wood products. Our Real Estate & ENR segment is affected by a variety of factors, including the general state of the economy, local real estate market conditions, the level of construction activity in the U.S. and the evolution of emerging renewable energy and carbon-related markets.
COMPETITION IN OUR MARKETS
We operate in highly competitive domestic and foreign markets, with numerous companies selling similar products. Many of our products also face competition from substitutes for wood products. We compete in our markets primarily through product quality, service levels and price.
Our business segments’ competitive strategies are as follows:
| | Timberlands — Capture maximum timber value from every acre we own or manage. |
| | Real Estate & ENR — Deliver premiums to timberland value by identifying and monetizing higher and better use lands and capturing the full value of surface and subsurface assets, including through our Climate Solutions business. |
| | Wood Products — Manufacture high-quality structural lumber, oriented strand board and engineered wood products, as well as deliver complementary building products for residential, multi-family, industrial and light commercial applications at competitive costs. |
