RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:
●
Sales realizations for Timberlands and Wood Products refer to net selling prices. This includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. Real Estate transactions are presented at the contract sales price before commissions and closing costs, net of any credits.
●
Net contribution (charge) to earnings does not include interest expense or income taxes.
ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS
Our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy are, and will continue to be, influenced by the trajectory of activity in the U.S. housing and repair and remodel segments, inflation trends and interest rates. The demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market, particularly new residential construction, strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as does repair and remodeling activity. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., which in turn affects demand for our logs and wood products. Our Timberlands segment, particularly the Western region, is also affected by export demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the production of pulp, paper and oriented strand board (OSB), as well as the demand for biofuels, such as wood-burning pellets made from pulpwood. Our Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned by available supply, while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity being added in the U.S. South has led to tightening of markets in certain geographies. Our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources 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 evolution of emerging renewable energy and carbon-related markets.
Recently announced and ongoing U.S. trade policy actions have resulted in elevated macroeconomic uncertainty and a decrease in consumer confidence. These policies, along with potential countermeasures by other countries, and the outcome of certain executive orders and trade investigations relating to our businesses, have the potential to affect supply and demand trends, import and export dynamics, and pricing for our products.
Home sales and building activity has eased in response to elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and lower consumer confidence. Despite areas in the U.S. South and Southwest seeing an uptick in new offerings, overall housing inventory remains historically low across many markets. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for second quarter 2025 averaged 1.3 million units, a 5.3 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Single-family starts averaged 919 thousand units in second quarter 2025, a 9.5 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Multi-family starts averaged 408 thousand units in second quarter 2025, a 5.9 percent increase from first quarter 2025. Single-family construction is the primary driver for our business as compared to multi-family due to the amount of wood products used. Sales of newly built, single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 652 thousand units for second quarter 2025, a 0.5 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Notwithstanding current macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts to housing demand, we expect a favorable U.S. housing construction market over the medium to long-term, supported by strong demographics in the key home buying age cohorts and a decade of under building.
Repair and remodeling expenditures increased by 0.3 percent from first quarter 2025 to second quarter 2025 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. While there continues to be steady demand due to growing home equity and the lock-in effect of lower mortgage rates compared to current rates, many homeowners have been more cautious in discretionary spending on large projects. Slower sales of existing homes has also contributed to more subdued activity. This softness has been reflected in both the do-it-yourself (DIY) and professionally built segments, largely driven by lower consumer confidence, higher interest rates and general uncertainty around the trajectory of the economy. Over the longer term, we expect this sector to return to historical growth trends driven by recent deferrals in repair and remodel spending, higher levels of home equity and an aging U.S. housing stock, with a median age of 45 years.
In U.S. wood product markets, after a steady increase in the first quarter, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite peaked in early April and trended lower through late June. This was driven by cautious buyer sentiment in response to elevated macroeconomic uncertainty and a softer than expected spring building season. OSB prices decreased significantly in the second quarter in response to softening demand from home construction activity and ample supply. In second quarter 2025, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $453/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $304/MSF. Over the course of second quarter 2025, composite prices for lumber decreased from $488/MBF to $422/MBF and composite prices for OSB decreased from $358/MSF to $262/MSF.
In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices decreased 0.9 percent in second quarter 2025 compared with first quarter 2025, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Prices in the first quarter had been elevated given seasonally lower log supply and steady takeaway of lumber, but decreased in the second quarter in response to a softening lumber market and elevated log inventories. In the South, delivered sawlog prices decreased 0.4 percent in second quarter 2025 compared to first quarter 2025 and declined 2.5 percent from second quarter 2024, as reported by TimberMart-South. In general, Southern log supply remains ample and mills continue to align production with end-market demand.
Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During second quarter 2025, end-use demand in export markets moderated. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 6.0 percent year-to-date through May compared to the same period in 2024, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 2.2 percent decrease, in part due to more stringent building permit requirements, effective April 1,
- The slowing demand was partially offset by a decrease in lumber imports to Japan from Europe and reduced inventories of European lumber in the Japanese market. In March, Chinese regulators announced a suspension of log imports from the U.S.
Interest rates affect our business primarily through their impact on mortgage rates and housing affordability, their general impact on the economy and their influence on our capital management activities. Actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the overall condition of the economy and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that influence long-term interest rates. 30-year mortgage rates, which are generally correlated with long-term interest rates, increased from 6.7 percent in first quarter 2025 to 6.8 percent in second quarter 2025, according to economic data from Freddie Mac. Many builders have been able to offset higher mortgage rates through discounts, mortgage rate buydowns and modifying product offerings such as home sizes and finishes. Higher rates have also locked-in many existing homeowners from selling, thereby reducing inventories of existing homes for sale which has led to incremental demand for available new homes.
Increased inflation affects the cost of our operations across each of our business segments, including costs for raw materials, transportation, energy and labor. The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual rate of 2.7 percent as of June 2025 compared to 2.4 percent in March 2025. This rate is markedly down from prior periods of elevated inflation, with limited tariff-related pressures largely offset by easing costs in other goods and services. While we can offset some of our costs that are affected by inflation through our sales activities, operational excellence initiatives and procurement practices, not all costs associated with inflation can be fully mitigated or passed on to the customer.
The condition of the labor market affects all of our businesses as it relates to our ability to attract and retain employees and contractors. The unemployment rate decreased slightly from 4.2 percent in first quarter 2025 to 4.1 percent in second quarter 2025.
Governments and businesses across the globe have publicly expressed that climate change is a compelling issue requiring considerable responsive action; many have made significant commitments toward decarbonizing activities and operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these commitments will require significant efforts, including modifying operations, investing in low-carbon technologies or purchasing credits to reduce environmental impacts. Although political and broader sentiment for climate change mitigation activities and related investments can fluctuate, we expect that over the long-term, climate change will continue to be a significant social concern and priority. With that in mind, we believe we are uniquely positioned to help others achieve climate change mitigation goals through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon, renewable energy and carbon capture and storage activities.

Comparing Second Quarter 2025 with Second Quarter 2024
Net sales
Net sales decreased $55 million – 3 percent – primarily due to a $64 million decrease in Wood Products net sales attributable to decreased sales realizations across most product lines, partially offset by increased structural lumber sales, as well as a $36 million decrease in Timberlands net sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to decreased log sales realizations, partially attributable to a lower mix of export sales, and sales volumes in the Western region. These changes were partially offset by a $45 million increase in Real Estate & ENR net sales attributable to an increase in average price per acre sold, partially offset by a decrease in acres sold.
Costs of sales
Costs of sales increased $24 million – 2 percent – primarily due to increased sales volumes for structural lumber and oriented strand board in our Wood Products segment, partially offset by decreased Western sales volumes in our Timberlands segment.
Operating income
Operating income decreased $92 million – 34 percent – primarily due to a $79 million decrease in consolidated gross income (see discussion of components above), as well as a $25 million product remediation recovery recorded in second quarter 2024 (refer to Note 13: Other Operating Costs (Income), Net).
Net earnings
Net earnings decreased $86 million – 50 percent – primarily due to the $92 million decrease in operating income discussed above and a $9 million increase in non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs, partially offset by a $21 million decrease in income tax expense.
Comparing Year-to-Date 2025 with Year-to-Date 2024
Net sales

an $83 million decrease in oriented strand board sales attributable to a 31 percent decrease in sales realizations, partially offset by a 3 percent increase in sales volumes;
●
a $22 million decrease in engineered solid section sales attributable to a 10 percent decrease in sales realizations, as well as a 3 percent decrease in sales volumes;
●
a $21 million decrease in complementary building products sales attributable to decreased sales volumes across most products;
●
a $12 million decrease in engineered I-joist sales attributable to a 9 percent decrease in sales realizations, as well as a 2 percent decrease in sales volumes and
●
a $6 million decrease in medium density fiberboard sales attributable to a 14 percent decrease in sales volumes, partially offset by a 1 percent increase in sales realizations.
These decreases were partially offset by an $82 million increase in structural lumber sales attributable to an 8 percent increase in sales realizations and a 7 percent increase in sales volumes.
Costs of sales
Costs of sales increased $58 million – 5 percent – primarily due to increased sales volumes for structural lumber and oriented strand board.
Operating income and Net contribution to earnings
Operating income and net contribution to earnings decreased $150 million – 77 percent – primarily due to the change in the components of gross margin, as discussed above, as well as a $25 million product remediation recovery recorded in second quarter 2024 (refer to Note 13: Other Operating Costs (Income), Net).
Comparing Year-to-Date 2025 with Year-to-Date 2024
Net sales

●
a $110 million decrease in oriented strand board sales attributable to a 22 percent decrease in sales realizations, partially offset by a 2 percent increase in sales volumes;
●
a $38 million decrease in engineered solid section sales attributable to an 8 percent decrease in sales realizations, as well as a 3 percent decrease in sales volumes;
●
a $37 million decrease in complementary building products sales attributable to decreased sales volumes across most products;
●
a $23 million decrease in engineered I-joist sales attributable to a 7 percent decrease in sales realizations, as well as a 4 percent decrease in sales volumes and
●
a $13 million decrease in medium density fiberboard sales attributable to a 16 percent decrease in sales volumes.
These decreases were partially offset by a $145 million increase in structural lumber sales attributable to an 8 percent increase in sales realizations and a 6 percent increase in sales volumes.
Costs of sales
Costs of sales increased $65 million – 3 percent – primarily due to increased sales volumes for structural lumber and oriented strand board.

Comparing Second Quarter 2025 with Second Quarter 2024
Net charge to earnings increased $12 million – 19 percent – primarily due to a $10 million increase in the charge for elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO.
Comparing Year-to-Date 2025 with Year-to-Date 2024
Net charge to earnings increased $44 million – 34 percent – primarily due to a $22 million increase in the charge for elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO and a $17 million decrease in interest income and other, primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:
●
$66 million for second quarter 2025 and $132 million year-to-date 2025;
●
$67 million for second quarter 2024 and $134 million year-to-date 2024.
Interest expense decreased by $1 million compared to second quarter 2024 and decreased $2 million compared to year-to-date 2024 primarily due to debt retirements and a debt issuance in first quarter 2025 that decreased our weighted average interest rate.
INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes was:
●
a $12 million expense for second quarter 2025 and $28 million year-to-date 2025;
●
a $33 million expense for second quarter 2024 and $53 million year-to-date 2024.
Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our TRSs. Income tax expense decreased by $25 million compared to year-to-date 2024 primarily due to a decrease in our pretax earnings in 2025.
Refer to Note 14: Income Taxes for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides financial flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of June 30, 2025, we had $592 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.75 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in June 2030. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Consolidated net cash from operations was:
●
$466 million for year-to-date 2025 and
●
$556 million for year-to-date 2024.
Net cash from operations decreased $90 million primarily due to decreased cash inflows from our operations.
CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:
●
$(208) million for year-to-date 2025 and
●
$(220) million for year-to-date 2024.
Net cash from investing activities increased $12 million primarily due to a $48 million decrease in cash paid for acquisitions of timberlands, partially offset by a $30 million increase in cash paid for capital expenditures.
Summary of Capital Spending by Business Segment
| YEAR-TO-DATE ENDED | ||||||||
| DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS | JUNE 2025 | JUNE 2024 | ||||||
| Timberlands | $ | 45 | $ | 52 | ||||
| Wood Products | 155 | 105 | ||||||
| Unallocated Items | — | 13 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 200 | $ | 170 |
During fourth quarter 2024, we announced our plan to invest approximately $500 million to build a new TimberStrand® facility in Monticello, Arkansas. This capital outlay may be sourced from cash on hand or through future financing, as deemed appropriate. Construction began in 2025, with the goal of starting operations in 2027. Once completed, the new facility will increase our engineered wood products capacity by approximately 10 million cubic feet.
We anticipate our capital expenditures for 2025 to be approximately $400 million, excluding approximately $130 million of investment in our Monticello engineered wood products facility. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change.
CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated net cash from financing activities was:
●
$(350) million for year-to-date 2025 and
●
$(503) million for year-to-date 2024.
Net cash from financing activities increased $153 million primarily due to a $299 million increase in net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, as well as a $90 million decrease in cash paid for dividends. These changes were partially offset by a $210 million increase in payments on long-term debt and a $26 million increase in cash used for repurchases of common stock.
Line of Credit
In June 2025, we amended and restated our senior unsecured revolving credit facility to extend the expiration date to June 2030, while increasing borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $1.75 billion. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term SOFR plus a spread or a mutually agreed upon base rate plus a spread. We had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Refer to Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.
Long-Term Debt
During first quarter 2025, we repaid our $139 million 8.50 percent debentures and our $71 million 7.95 percent debentures at maturity. We also entered into a $300 million senior unsecured term loan that will mature in April 2030. Net proceeds after fees were $299 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term SOFR plus a spread or a mutually agreed upon base rate plus a spread.
Refer to Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.
Debt Covenants
As of June 30, 2025, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.
Dividend Payments
We paid cash dividends on common shares of:
●
$304 million for year-to-date 2025 and
●
$394 million for year-to-date 2024.
The decrease in dividends paid is primarily due to a supplemental dividend of $0.14 per share based on 2023 financial results for a total of $102 million paid in first quarter 2024.
Under our cash return framework, we plan to supplement our base dividend with an additional return of variable cash, as appropriate, in the form of a supplemental cash dividend and/or share repurchase to achieve a targeted total return to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). For further information on Adjusted FAD see Performance and Liquidity Measures.
Share Repurchases
During second quarter 2025, we completed the $1 billion purchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in September 2021 (the 2021 Repurchase Program). On May 8, 2025, we announced the board approved a new share repurchase program (the 2025 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board of directors terminated the completed purchase authorization under the 2021 Repurchase Program.
We repurchased 3,888,932 common shares for approximately $100 million (including transaction fees) during second quarter 2025 and 4,733,981 common shares for approximately $125 million (including transaction fees) during year-to-date 2025 under the share repurchase programs. During second quarter 2024, we repurchased 1,669,145 common shares for approximately $50 million (including transaction fees) and 3,141,514 common shares for approximately $99 million (including transaction fees) during year-to-date 2024 under the share repurchase programs. There were no unsettled shares as of June 30, 2025 and 12,436 unsettled shares (less than $1 million) as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 4: Net Earnings Per Share and Share Repurchases for further information.
PERFORMANCE AND LIQUIDITY MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company and our business segments. This measure should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitates period to period comparisons and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items.

Adjusted FAD
We use Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD) to evaluate the company’s liquidity and measure cash generated during the period (net of capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items) that is available for dividends, repurchases of common shares, debt reduction, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary capital allocation activities. Adjusted FAD should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measure provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our liquidity. Adjusted FAD, as we define it, is net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items.
