NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE QUARTERS AND YEAR-TO-DATE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we,” “the company” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.

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 information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. These quarterly 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, 2021. Results of operations for interim periods should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are principally engaged in growing and harvesting timber; manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees; maximizing the value of every acre we own through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties; and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties. Our business segments are categorized based primarily on products and services which include:

●Timberlands – Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products;
●Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) – Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas, and wind and solar resources) and
●Wood Products – Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution.

A reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

●$0.42 during third quarter 2022 and $2.51 during year-to-date 2022;
●$0.64 during third quarter 2021 and $2.92 during year-to-date 2021.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. 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.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 22, 2021, we announced that our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the 2021 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in February 2019 (the 2019 Repurchase Program).

We repurchased 4,234,838 common shares for approximately $145 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during third quarter 2022 and 11,217,300 common shares for approximately $404 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had remaining authorization of $523 million for future share repurchases. During year-to-date 2021, we repurchased 780,228 common shares for approximately $26 million (including transaction fees) under the 2019 Repurchase Program.

All common stock repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program and 2021 Repurchase Program were made in open-market transactions. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were 64,135 unsettled shares (approximately $2 million) as of September 30, 2022 and no unsettled shares as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 5: INVENTORIES

Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, as well as materials and supplies.

For the periods presented, service cost is included in “Costs of sales,” “Selling expenses,” and “General and administrative expenses” with the remaining components included in “Non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets and Obligations

In our year-end reporting process, we estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon the information available at that time. For certain assets, 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. We update the year-end estimated fair value of pension plan assets in the second quarter of each year to incorporate final net asset values reflected in financial statements received after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During second quarter 2022, we recorded an increase to the beginning of the year fair value of the pension assets of $54 million, or 2 percent. We also updated our census data that is used to estimate our beginning of the year projected benefit obligation for our pension plans, which resulted in a projected benefit obligation decrease of $13 million, or less than 1 percent. The net effect of these updates was a $67 million improvement in funded status. This change in funded status was reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 7: ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:

Total$664$673

NOTE 8: LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2022, we completed a series of transactions that lowered our weighted average interest rate and extended our weighted average maturity by issuing $900 million in notes and using the net proceeds plus cash on hand to close cash tender offers for $931 million of principal in higher interest rate notes. We issued $450 million of 3.375 percent notes due in March 2033 and $450 million of 4.000 percent notes due in March 2052. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $444 million and $437 million, respectively. The net proceeds were used to retire $592 million of our 7.375 percent notes due in March 2032, $161 million of our 8.500 percent notes due in January 2025, $73 million of our 7.125 percent notes due in July 2023, $65 million of our 7.950 percent notes due in March 2025, and $40 million of our 7.850 percent notes due in July 2026. We paid holders an aggregate $1.2 billion in cash reflecting principal, premium to par and tender premium. A net pretax charge of $276 million ($207 million after-tax) was included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in first quarter 2022 for premiums to retire $931 million of principal plus unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discounts in connection with the early debt retirement.

In May 2021, we repaid our $225 million variable-rate term loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026.

In January 2020, we refinanced and extended our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2025. Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending banks. We had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt consisted of the following:

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONSSEPTEMBER 30, 2022DECEMBER 31, 2021
Long-term fixed rate debt (including current maturities):
Carrying value$5,053$5,099
Fair value (level 2)$4,846$6,221

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt, we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our line of credit has a net carrying value that approximates its fair value within an insignificant difference. The inputs to the valuations of our long-term debt 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.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, 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 and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 10: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Environmental Matters

Site Remediation

Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – 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 September 30, 2022, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $63 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 11: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings.

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2022 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.

NOTE 16: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Carolinas Acquisition

On April 14, 2022, we announced an agreement to purchase 81 thousand acres of North and South Carolina timberlands for approximately $265 million. We completed the purchase on May 18, 2022 and recorded $263 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $2 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145 thousand acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington. On July 7, 2021, we completed the sale for $261 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. This transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange along with the Alabama acquisition discussed below. As a result of the sale, a gain of $32 million was recorded in the Timberlands segment in our third quarter 2021 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

This divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69 thousand acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021 and recorded $148 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $1 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As discussed above, this transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange.
