SUMMARY

The new $375 million Southern timberlands acquisition, announced in May 2025, is intended to be funded through noncore asset divestitures, which management expects to execute in a tax-efficient manner, largely within a 180-day regulatory window as required under IRS code section 1031. Weyerhaeuser (NYSE:WY) management reaffirmed its target to achieve $100 million in adjusted EBITDA in the Natural Climate Solutions business by year-end 2025, underpinned by three approved forest carbon projects as of Q2 2025, with more in development. Share repurchase activity accelerated, highlighted by the completion of a prior $1 billion authorization and the initiation of a new $1 billion program in May 2025, demonstrating continued capital return. Sequential segment trends included a notable increase in real estate adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025, offset by a decline in both lumber and OSB adjusted EBITDA due to lower commodity pricing and higher operating costs. The company provided clear Q3 2025 guidance, projecting sequential declines in Timberlands and Real Estate earnings, but stable aggregate Wood Products operating results when adjusting for commodity price changes.

• Stockfish stated, "Upon closing of our latest North Carolina and Virginia acquisition, we will have achieved the multiyear target to grow our Timberlands portfolio through $1 billion of investments by the end of 2025."
• Excluding CapEx for Monticello, management has lowered guidance for the typical CapEx program from $440 million to approximately $400 million for 2025.
• Stockfish confirmed, "we expect to recognize a gain on the sale and incur a tax liability of approximately $15 million Canadian," with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
• The recent U.S. tax bill increases the limit on taxable REIT subsidiary holdings to 25%, creating greater structural flexibility for Wood Products expansion, up from the previous 20% limit.
• Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA for the Real Estate, Energy & Natural Resources segment is expected to reach $350 million, driven by healthy real estate demand and climate solutions growth.
• Export logs to Japan saw increased sales realizations, supported by lower imported European lumber shipments and local customers gaining share.
• Plans for most of the Southern timberlands acquisition funding rely on Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, subject to the 180-day regulatory timeline outlined by management.
• Wood Products segment operating rates in Q2 2025 were in the high 80s% for lumber, mid-90s% for OSB, and high 70s% for EWP, with an outlook for lower EWP operating rates next quarter.
• In Q2, management noted that Southern yellow pine lumber producers are in a strong position to take U.S. market share, given the current price differential and structural trends.
• Management indicated that lumber and OSB EBITDA sensitivities remain $50 million annually per $10 lumber price move and $32 million for every $10 OSB move, respectively, based on guidance as of Q2 2025.

Full Conference Call Transcript

Devin Stockfish: Thanks, Andy. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Yesterday, Weyerhaeuser Company reported second quarter GAAP earnings of $87 million or $0.12 per diluted share on net sales of $1.9 billion. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $336 million, a slight increase over the first quarter of 2025. These are solid results in light of the current challenging market backdrop, and I am pleased with the operational performance delivered by our teams. Before getting into the businesses, I would like to comment briefly on an exciting growth opportunity within our Southern Timberlands portfolio. As we announced in May, acquiring 117,000 acres of high-quality timberlands in North Carolina and Virginia for $375 million.

This acquisition represents a unique off-market opportunity to enhance our footprint in a strong and growing sawlog and fiber market in the US South. These timberlands are strategically located proximate to existing Weyerhaeuser Company timberlands and mill operations in the region and are expected to deliver immediate and sustained portfolio-leading cash flows within our Southern Timberlands business, with an average annual free cash flow yield of 5.1% over the first five years, and that is a timber-only number. In addition, we see significant optionality to capture upside from alternative value opportunities over time.

The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter, and the cash outlay for the transaction is expected to be predominantly sourced from divestitures of noncore timberlands, and we anticipate completing these transactions in a tax-efficient manner. As we have demonstrated over the last several years, we are committed to active portfolio management across our timber holdings and have remained disciplined in our approach to growing the value of our timberlands, including through targeted acquisitions as well as divesting of non-strategic acreage. Upon closing of our latest North Carolina and Virginia acquisition, we will have achieved the multiyear target to grow our Timberlands portfolio through $1 billion of investments by the end of 2025.

We have also grown our lumber capacity and are moving forward with a compelling engineered wood products growth opportunity in Arkansas, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet. And importantly, we have returned a significant amount of cash back to shareholders through dividends and share repurchase over this period. Looking forward, we will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities that enhance the return profile for our timberlands and provide upside potential through our real estate and E&R business, and we will balance these activities with other levers across our capital allocation framework to drive superior long-term value for shareholders. Turning now to our second quarter business results. I will begin with Timberlands on Pages five through eight of our earnings slides.

Timberlands contributed $88 million to second quarter earnings. Adjusted EBITDA was $152 million, a $15 million decrease compared to the first quarter, largely driven by higher costs in our Western operations, which are typical in the spring and summer months. Turning to the Western domestic market, log demand was healthy at the outset of the second quarter, given seasonally lower log supply and steady takeaway of lumber. As the quarter progressed, log supply improved seasonally, but demand waned as mills responded to a softening lumber market and elevated log inventories. As a result, log prices were strongest in April and trended lower for the balance of the quarter.

Given these dynamics, our average domestic sales realizations decreased slightly relative to the first quarter, and fee harvest volumes were comparable. Our per unit log and haul costs increased as we made the seasonal transition to higher elevation sites, and forestry and road costs were seasonally higher. Moving on to our export business to Japan. Log markets in Japan were stable in the second quarter. Demand for our logs continued to benefit from lower shipments and inventories of imported European lumber in the Japanese market, which has allowed our customers to take market share. As a result, our average sales realizations for export logs to Japan increased moderately compared to the first quarter.

However, our sales volumes were moderately lower due to the timing of vessels. Turning to the South. Adjusted EBITDA for Southern Timberlands was $69 million, a slight decrease compared to the prior quarter. Despite a reduction in log supply resulting from wet weather conditions, Southern sawlog demand was muted in the second quarter as mills continued to align production with lower pricing and takeaway of lumber. In contrast, demand for our fiber logs improved as mills transitioned from spring maintenance outages. In general, takeaway for our logs remained steady given our delivered programs across the region, and our average sales realizations increased slightly compared to the first quarter.

Given the wetter-than-normal conditions, our forestry and road costs and fee harvest volumes were lower than our initial expectations. That said, our harvest volumes increased slightly compared to the prior quarter. Per unit log and haul costs increased moderately. In the North, adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly due to lower sales volumes associated with seasonal spring breakup conditions. Turning now to our real estate, energy, and natural resources business, on pages nine and ten. Real estate and E&R contributed $106 million to second-quarter earnings, $143 million to adjusted EBITDA. Second quarter EBITDA was $61 million higher than the prior quarter, largely driven by the timing and mix of real estate sales.

We continue to benefit from healthy demand for real estate properties, resulting in high-value transactions with significant premiums to timber value. Turning briefly to our Natural Climate Solutions business. During the second quarter, we received approval on our third forest carbon project and currently have six additional projects in progress. We continue to see solid demand for our credits given our commitment to delivering and developing projects that meet high standards for quality and integrity. For 2025, we still expect a significant increase in credit generation and sales relative to the last couple of years, and we remain on track to reach $100 million of adjusted EBITDA from our Natural Climate Solutions business by year-end.

Now moving to wood products on pages 11 through 13. Wood Products contributed $46 million to second-quarter earnings and $101 million to adjusted EBITDA. Starting with lumber. After a steady increase in the first quarter, the 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. Across the North American regions, pricing for Western SPF lumber has steadily increased since mid-May, largely as a result of concerns around the upcoming increase in duties on Canadian shipments to the US. Over the same period, pricing for Southern yellow pine lumber decreased significantly as supply outpaced demand.

This dynamic was compounded by adverse weather conditions in certain Southern geographies, which impacted building activity in the second quarter. That said, Southern lumber prices have shown signs of stabilization in recent weeks. For our lumber business, second-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $11 million, a $29 million decrease compared to the first quarter, primarily driven by lower product pricing and slightly higher log costs. Our average sales realizations decreased by 2% in the second quarter, which was largely in line with the framing lumber composite. Our sales volumes increased and unit manufacturing costs were comparable. Finally, on lumber, I will make a few comments on the recent announcement to sell our Princeton mill in British Columbia.

While these decisions are never easy to make, we think this is the best outcome for our Princeton operations. The buyer is local, with deep roots in the region, and we expect a seamless transition that will position the facility for future success in a challenging operating environment. The purchase price is approximately $120 million Canadian and includes the mill, all associated timber license assets in British Columbia, and the value of working capital, which will be subject to customary purchase price adjustments at closing. We expect the mill portion of the transaction to close in the third quarter and the forest tenures to follow over the ensuing months.

Upon closing, we expect to recognize a gain on the sale and incur a tax liability of approximately $15 million Canadian. I do want to express my deep appreciation to our dedicated employees who contributed to the success of our Princeton operation over the years and to the local community who has been incredibly supportive of our operations and people. It is worth noting that our other operations in Canada will not be affected by this transaction, and we will continue to serve customers from our two lumber mills in Alberta. So now turning to OSB. Benchmark pricing for OSB decreased significantly in the second quarter, largely driven by softening demand from new home construction activity and ample supply.

Pricing did stabilize by quarter-end and has remained steady through July. For our OSB business, adjusted EBITDA was $30 million, a $29 million decrease compared to the first quarter, primarily due to lower product pricing. Our average sales realizations decreased by 12%, which was favorable to the OSB composite. This is largely due to the length of our order files, which results in a lag effect for OSB realizations. Our sales volumes and fiber costs were slightly higher compared to the prior quarter, and unit manufacturing costs increased due to additional downtime for planned annual maintenance. Engineered Wood Products adjusted EBITDA was $57 million, a slight increase compared to the first quarter.

This was driven by a seasonal increase in sales volumes across all products and lower raw material and unit manufacturing costs. Notably, our second-quarter EWP results reflect an improvement in operating posture at our MDF facility in Montana, which experienced a multi-week outage in the first quarter. These favorable drivers were partially offset by lower average sales realizations across most EWP products as new home construction activity was softer than our initial expectations coming into the second quarter. In Distribution, adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly compared to the first quarter, as seasonally higher sales volumes were offset by lower pricing for commodity and EWP products.

With that, I will turn the call over to Davey to discuss some financial items and our third-quarter outlook.

Davey Wold: Thanks, Devin, and good morning, everyone. I will begin with key financial items, which are summarized on page 15. In the second quarter, we generated $396 million of cash from operations. We ended the quarter with approximately $600 million of cash and total debt of just under $5.2 billion. Share repurchase activity totaled $100 million in the second quarter, representing our highest quarterly level since late 2022. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $25.74. In May, we completed our previous $1 billion share repurchase program, which was authorized in September, and announced a new $1 billion authority going forward.

Reflecting on our cash return actions since the beginning of 2021, including dividends and share repurchase, we have returned more than $5.7 billion of cash back to shareholders. Over a similar period, we have continued investing in our businesses at a meaningful level, deployed capital towards strategic growth opportunities, and improved our balance sheet. These are notable achievements that underscore the durability of our portfolio and the flexibility of our capital allocation framework across market cycles. Looking ahead, our new authorization provides capacity for future opportunistic share repurchase activity and represents an important ongoing lever for driving long-term value for our shareholders.

Capital expenditures were $107 million in the second quarter, which includes $22 million related to the construction of our EWP facility in Monticello, Arkansas. Specific to Monticello, the project is on track, and we broke ground on the facility in June. As we previously communicated, the total investment for the facility is expected to be approximately $500 million, which will be incurred through 2027. For full year 2025, we anticipate approximately $130 million of investments for Monticello. And as a reminder, CapEx associated with this project will be excluded for purposes of calculating adjusted FAD as used in our cash return framework.

Excluding CapEx for Monticello, we have lowered guidance for our typical CapEx program from $440 million to approximately $400 million in 2025. It is worth noting that we are always evaluating our capital allocation levers and have the flexibility within our framework to make adjustments in response to market conditions, alternate uses of cash, and to fund growth opportunities. Second quarter results for our unallocated items are summarized on page 14. Adjusted EBITDA for this segment increased by $22 million compared to the first quarter, primarily attributable to changes in intersegment profit elimination and LIFO.

Looking forward, key outlook items for the third quarter are presented on page 17 and updates to full year outlook items are presented on page 18. In our Timberlands business, we expect third quarter earnings and adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $10 million lower compared to the 2025 largely driven by lower sales realizations and higher costs in the West. As a reminder, results for our Timberlands business are generally at their lowest level in the third quarter given seasonal dynamics. Turning to the West. We expect domestic log demand and pricing to face downward pressure in the third quarter as mills continue to carry elevated log inventories and navigate a softer lumber market.

As a result, we expect our domestic sales realizations to be moderately lower compared to the second quarter. However, limitations on log supply during wildfire season and the effect of increased duties on Canadian lumber imports could drive more favorable pricing as the quarter progresses. We anticipate seasonally higher forestry and road costs, as we do a significant amount of this work over the summer months. And per unit log in haul costs are expected to increase given higher elevation harvest activity that is typical this time of year. Our fee harvest volumes are expected to be slightly higher compared to the second quarter.

Briefly on our log export program to Japan, imports of European lumber have been lower year to date relative to 2024, allowing our customers to take market share. As a result, we anticipate steady demand for our logs in the third quarter. Our sales volumes are expected to increase moderately, largely due to the timing of vessels. And our average sales realizations are expected to increase slightly. Turning to the South. We expect sawlog markets to moderate somewhat in the third quarter as log supply improves with drier weather conditions. In contrast, Southern fiber markets are expected to remain relatively stable, outside of a few localized regions with softer demand due to reduced capacity or elevated log inventories.

On balance, takeaway for our logs is expected to remain steady, given our delivered programs across the region, and we anticipate our sawlog pricing to be comparable to the second quarter. That said, our average sales realizations are expected to decrease slightly largely due to a higher mix of fiber logs from increased thinning activity. Given favorable weather conditions, we anticipate our fee harvest volumes will be slightly higher compared to the second quarter. Our forestry and road costs are expected to increase as wetter than normal spring conditions resulted in certain activities shifting to the third quarter. And per unit log in haul costs are expected to be comparable.

In the North, our fee harvest volumes are expected to be significantly higher as we have fully transitioned from spring breakup conditions, and we anticipate moderately lower sales realizations due to mix. Moving to our real estate, energy, and natural resources segment. Real estate markets have remained solid year to date, and we continue to anticipate a consistent flow of transactions with significant premiums to timber value. For the segment, we continue to expect full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA of approximately $350 million, which includes our target to reach $100 million of EBITDA from our natural climate solutions business.

That said, we expect third quarter adjusted EBITDA will be approximately $80 million lower and earnings will be $60 million lower than the 2025 due to the timing and mix of real estate sales. For context, it is common for our real estate results to be more heavily weighted toward the first half of the year. In our wood products segment, we expect third quarter earnings before special items and adjusted EBITDA to be comparable to the 2025 excluding the effect of changes in average sales realizations for lumber and OSB. Given the softer than expected demand environment over the last several months, composite pricing for lumber and OSB declined steadily during the second quarter.

As a result, our current and quarter-to-date average sales realizations for both products are moderately lower than the second quarter averages. Notably, we have seen signs of stabilization in composite pricing over the last several weeks. Looking ahead, we expect demand for both products to remain at current levels into the third quarter. That said, duties on Canadian lumber shipments to the US are expected to increase meaningfully. This dynamic, along with lean channel inventories, could provide some support for North American lumber pricing in the coming months and potentially serve as a catalyst for incremental substitution towards southern yellow pine.

In addition, on the demand side, we could see an increase in repair and remodel activity in the South as temperatures moderate into the fall and more broadly should the Fed cut interest rates. For our lumber and OSB businesses, we expect sales volumes and unit manufacturing costs to be comparable to the second quarter. Log and fiber costs are expected to be slightly lower. For our engineered wood products business, we continue to anticipate close alignment between product demand and single-family homebuilding activity, which has been softer than expected year to date.

As a result, we expect lower sales volumes for most products in the third quarter and slightly lower average sales realizations as previously determined price adjustments take effect in certain markets. Raw material costs are expected to decrease primarily for OSB webstock. For our distribution business, we expect adjusted EBITDA to be comparable to the second quarter. With that, I will now turn the call back to Devin and look forward to your questions.

Devin Stockfish: Thanks, Davey. Before wrapping up this morning, I will make a few comments on the housing and repair and remodel market. Starting with housing. After a reasonably solid first quarter, housing starts have softened over the last few months. Total starts averaging 1.3 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis in the second quarter, and single-family starts below 1 million units. While the broader economy appears to be holding up reasonably well, the combination of weaker consumer confidence and elevated mortgage rates has been a headwind for housing activity.

As a result, the spring building season was softer than we were expecting at the outset of the year, and I suspect we will continue to see some choppiness in the housing market in the near term. Based on conversations with our homebuilder customers, the biggest issue right now is consumer confidence and general uncertainty around trade policy, inflation, and unemployment. That said, there are potential catalysts for improvement in the second half of the year. For example, we now have clarity on the tax bill, and we could see additional trade deals emerge in the coming days and weeks, providing more certainty around trade and tariff policy.

We might also get some support from the Fed on interest rates later this year. So we will have to see how these things play out, but clarity in these areas could alleviate some of the uncertainty that has been weighing on consumers. But putting current market conditions aside, the longer-term fundamentals remain intact for a strong housing market, supported by favorable demographic tailwinds and a vastly underbuilt housing stock. In addition, the inventory of existing homes for sale will likely remain below levels given elevated rates. And on a positive note, there seems to be a growing appreciation that government policies need to better accommodate building activity to address housing shortages across the country.

All of this will ultimately support healthy demand for housing in the years to come. Turning to the repair and remodel market, activity has been softer year to date relative to 2024, largely driven by many of the same factors impacting the residential construction market. In addition, R&R activity continues to be impacted by lower turnover of existing homes given higher mortgage rates and the lock-in effect. In the near term, we will likely continue to see a more muted R&R environment until consumer confidence improves and interest rates move lower. I would note, however, that we typically see a seasonal uptick in repair and remodel activity in the South as temperatures moderate into the fall.

And looking further out, we continue to expect favorable demand fundamentals for R&R activity, including significantly increased levels of home equity and an aging housing stock. In addition, we have largely worked through the pull-forward of projects that occurred during the pandemic and, in fact, are now seeing deferrals of R&R projects. So this should be a tailwind for repair and remodel activity as the macro environment improves. In closing, we delivered solid operating performance in the second quarter, notwithstanding the challenging market backdrop. We continue to demonstrate our commitment to returning meaningful amounts of cash back to shareholders while also capitalizing on strategic portfolio opportunities.

Notably, we significantly increased our share repurchase activity in the second quarter, and we continue to enhance the value of our Timberlands portfolio with high-quality and strategically located acreage. Looking forward, we are well-positioned to navigate a range of market conditions in the near term, and we remain confident in the longer-term demand fundamentals that support our businesses. Our balance sheet is strong, we continue to focus on driving operational excellence, serving our customers, enhancing our unmatched portfolio, and creating long-term value for shareholders through our disciplined and flexible capital allocation framework. With that, I think we can open it up for questions.

Operator: Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press 1 on your telephone keypad. You may press 2 if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from Susan Maklari with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Susan Maklari: Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Good morning. My first question is on the Wood Products segment. When you think about the outlook and what the builders are telling us in terms of guiding to the lower end of their closings range for this year, talking about perhaps going into 2026 with less inventory on the ground as well. How are you thinking about balancing your capacity across the Wood Products space, and how are you also thinking about any incremental opportunities in terms of OpEx 2.0 to perhaps improve or sustain the profitability in part of the business?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. Great question, Sue. Maybe I will start with the OpEx piece and then get to the broader question. You know, for us, operational excellence is just deeply built into the DNA of the organization at this point. And so that is something that we are focused on really across market cycles. It becomes particularly important when you are in a softer demand environment to make sure that you stay in the right spot on the cost curve. And so we are very focused on that. I think you can see that over the last handful of years with our relative operating performance really being industry-leading across our manufacturing businesses, super important.

We are going to stay focused on that, and I do think that gives us a lot more flexibility to operate through the down cycle. As we think about the rest of the year into 2026, certainly, you know, at present, you can see this in the builder sentiment numbers. You know, there is not as much optimism as we had hoped coming into the year. Certainly, the housing market has been softer than we had expected, and so you can see builders that are adjusting to that. So to the extent that holds on for a while longer, I think we are well-positioned to serve that market.

We will always keep an eye on what our production is versus the demand. But again, given where we are on the cost curve, I think that gives us the ability to really run more during a down market than perhaps others may. So we are going to continue to keep focused on that.

You know, I think, obviously, in these down markets, a lot of the things that we have been doing over the last handful of years with the balance sheet, with cost control, with the OpEx, the things that we have been doing to just make sure that we are in a good position in a down market, it gives us the opportunity to do things opportunistically, whether it is share repurchase or acquisitions, etcetera. And so, you know, we will see how long this lasts, but we are well-positioned to navigate it and importantly to take advantage of those opportunities in a down market when we see those. That is how you drive value in cyclical businesses.

Susan Maklari: Yeah. Okay. That is great color, Devin. Thank you. And then maybe, you know, turning to Timberlands, it is exciting to see the deal that you announced in North Carolina and Virginia. Can you talk a bit about just the overall environment for Timberland acquisitions? And anything that you are also seeing perhaps on the divestiture side, just how that is coming together?

Devin Stockfish: Sure, Sue. So I would just describe the Timberlands market right now as solid. Generally, think about the typical range of activity being in that $2 billion to $3 billion range annually. Probably going to trend toward the lower end of that range this year, but there have been a handful of larger high-quality packages that have come to market of late. There is plenty of capital out there pursuing these transactions. There has been a significant amount of capital raised over the past couple of years with a mandate to invest in this asset class. Those dollars have largely not been placed.

So our expectation is that we are going to continue to see solid demand for timberland packages in light of that. You know, with respect to the progress on our divestitures, as you know, we announced with the recent Timberland transaction acquisition that we would be funding that through the divestiture of noncore timberlands. So we generally do not comment on transactions that are not yet at a definitive agreement. But what I can say, as I just mentioned, there is strong interest out there in the market for this asset class, and so we expect to be able to deliver strong value on those divestitures, and we will update you as appropriate moving forward.

Susan Maklari: Okay. Thank you both, and good luck with the quarter.

Devin Stockfish: Thank you. Our next question comes from George Staphos with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.

George Staphos: Hey. Good morning, Devin and David. This is Brad Barton on for George. Morning. Morning. You know, just quickly, when we look at EWP prices, you know, there seems to have been a trend downward for some time now. And yeah, you are guiding Q3 lower again. So just wondering what your thoughts on what you think the catalyst is that ultimately flows and reverses that trend so we can see prices inflect higher and, you know, I guess, when do you think that happens?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, so as you know, EWP is largely driven by what is going on in residential construction and, in particular, single-family. And, you know, I think the big catalyst here for why you have seen some pressure on pricing is just really been we have seen a slowdown in single-family construction here. You know, really over the last eighteen to twenty-four months. So that has put some pressure on pricing. I think you combine that with just the overall concern with the homebuilders on margin, you know, there is pressure to keep those prices in check, and so you have seen that. The big catalyst to move that back in the other direction really are twofold.

You know, obviously, to the extent that single-family housing activity picks up, that will be a catalyst. Around the margins, R&R activity as well. I think the other piece that can help with that, and, you know, we are actively working on this, during the pandemic, there was some conversion from EWP over to OpenWeb. And that has been a little bit more challenging to convert back to EWP. The lower lumber prices have not helped that, but that is something that we are actively pursuing that could have some benefit to the upside. In the interim, and look, housing activity is going to return to a better place. We know that. The timeline is always a question.

But, directionally, we know the fundamental drivers for strong housing still remain in place. And so that market is going to return to a better place. But in the interim, you know, we are going to be out there supporting our customers. We have, I believe, the best product line in the industry. We have a great service model. Have a good cost structure. So we are positioned to navigate this, and we will be out working on taking market share, converting markets, and all of those things that you would expect. And, you know, at some point, we will see pricing start to pick up on the other side.

Brad Barton: Great. Thank you. And just a quick follow-up on the real estate side. You know, prices per acre, they seem to have been appreciating over the last five quarters or so. So is that just simply due to mix and timing, or is there something larger at play maybe? Like, the optionality on climate solutions related businesses and I guess maybe related to that question, if, you know, we look out over the next year or so, where do you estimate the appropriate price per acre be?

Devin Stockfish: Sure, Brad. You know, that is, you know, as we have said, we do have a high degree of conviction. The value of Timberlands is going to increase over time based on the appreciation of all those things that you just laid out. You know, what it is though, is it is a lot of timing and mix there. We are going to see that move around based on the particular composition of the packages at any one quarter. There were a few more Western acres this quarter compared to some of the other quarters of late, so that is going to drive up the price per acre there. So I would not read too much into that.

Other than, again, over time, we do expect increasing interest in the asset class.

Brad Barton: Okay. Great. Appreciate the time, guys. Our next question comes from Anthony Pettinari with Citi. Please proceed with your question.

Anthony Pettinari: Good morning.

Devin Stockfish: Good morning.

Anthony Pettinari: Devin, do you see the one big beautiful bill impacting your natural climate solutions business? And I guess I am thinking specifically about sort of solar and wind projects. Do you have any, you know, projects at risk? Or does the bill impact your expectation for future growth for natural climate solutions?

Devin Stockfish: Yes. I mean, look, overall, I think the big beautiful bill was a net positive for Weyerhaeuser Company, and, you know, I will let maybe Davey speak to a couple of the specific tax items here in a moment. But when you look at the impact on our natural climate solutions business, there are going to be puts and takes. And, you know, as we have said before, the tone, the rhetoric around climate is obviously different in this administration than it was under the prior administration. But, ultimately, this business, the foundation of it is built on an expectation that over time, companies, governments, etcetera, are going to have to do things to mitigate the effects of climate change.

And so our underlying conviction around that has not changed at all. In the near term, you know, we have a couple of things that went on with the bill. So first, 45Q, which is the tax incentive that supports carbon capture and sequestration, there was some discussion around that. That did make it through ultimately and was preserved. The biggest impact probably, at least in the near term, is around the incentives on renewables. And so as I am sure you have seen, a lot of discussion around that.

They did provide a cutoff here that was pulled forward perhaps a little bit earlier than we had expected, and so it is really to get the incentives, you have to have projects started by July, and there is some discussion with an executive order about exactly how that is going to play out. But as I think about that in the context of our business, we have one operating solar site today. We have two more that are under construction and a handful that I would expect to get, you know, under the wire by the time that deadline hits. So, you know, in the near term, we have got a whole host of projects.

I think to some degree, this might even accelerate some of the projects that were maybe midterm that will go a little faster to try to meet that deadline. But, look, ultimately, there is an issue countrywide from a power and energy perspective. The level of supply is not going to keep up with demand with data centers and AI, etcetera. And so there is really only one solution to that in the near term, and that is going to be renewable. So these things are going to get built out. We have aligned ourselves with sophisticated counterparties that largely saw this coming and have mitigation strategies in place to take care of this.

But, ultimately, these are going to get built. It may mean that the customer has to pay a higher electric bill, ultimately, I do not see this meaningfully over the mid to long term slowing down solar much.

Davey Wold: Anthony, I would just add a couple of other positives for Weyerhaeuser Company on the tax legislation. The bill did increase the portion of a REIT that can be held in a taxable REIT subsidiary from 20 to 25%. So that does give us additional capacity over time to grow our wood products businesses without jeopardizing REIT status. There are also some other adjustments to reinstating 100% bonus depreciation, other qualified production, deductions that we expect to be beneficial to our manufacturing business as a whole over time. And they will also apply to our Monticello facility.

Anthony Pettinari: Okay. That is very helpful. And then just switching gears, you know, lumber does seem to have stabilized a little bit in recent weeks, and I am wondering if you had any additional thoughts on what might be driving that or what you are seeing in terms of, you know, are dealers buying ahead of import duties or two thirty-two? Or are you seeing curtailments in Canada or elsewhere? Or is demand picking up? I am just curious if you had any additional color on kind of current market conditions, especially lumber?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, on the lumber side, there is a lot going on right now. I would say when you talk about the lumber market right now, you really have to talk about it in SPF terms and then southern yellow pine terms because we have seen a diverging dynamic there. And a lot of this is driven, I think, by, you know, just anticipation of the higher lumber duties and perhaps to some degree the outcome of a February investigation.

When you look at Southern Yellow Pine, I think the reason that it stabilizes because it got down to a position where a lot of the industry is bouncing around, you know, the cash flow breakeven and perhaps some even below that. And so I think, you know, what you are seeing is people are dialing back a little bit on production at these price levels. The flip side of that is on SPF. People know that the duties are going up 14% to 34%. Just on the softwood lumber duty case.

And so, you know, I think there is some expectation around where people are selling and the price probably a little bit of inventory building, although I would say across the system as a whole, it does not feel like the dealer networks have significant lumber inventories at present. And so you see kind of those diverging dynamics at play. We are going to have the new duties coming out very soon. Those should be announced, you know, in the coming days in terms of when they are going to go in effect. I think that will cause, you know, some volatility probably in pricing here in the near term until that stabilizes.

But, ultimately, I would expect, you know, from a pricing standpoint, you would expect that pricing should go up over the course of the fall given all these dynamics, even in a stable demand environment.

Anthony Pettinari: Okay. That is very helpful. I will turn it over.

Devin Stockfish: Thanks.

Operator: Our next question comes from Mark Weintraub with Seaport Research Partners. Please proceed with your question.

Mark Weintraub: Thank you. So maybe a couple of follow-ups. One would be on lumber, and you know, with the duties coming, etcetera. And at the same time, kind of looking at the second quarter you guys, think we are, like, $11 million in EBITDA. And if you look at where prices are today, you presumably would be fairly negative in EBIT in lumber, and, you know, you have indicated in the past and margins and things like that would suggest that you have, you know, a better system, lower cost system than most.

And are you surprised there have not been more responses on the capacity side to date, or do you think that is just it is going to come, but soon and just waiting for the duties? Any thoughts there would be helpful.

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean so, look, it is always hard to know what other companies, you know, are thinking about behind, you know, behind the scenes. So I will not necessarily speculate on that. What I would say is, you know, high level, it is hard to know exactly what is going to happen with pricing until we see these duties come into effect. And so, you know, to some degree, there is probably a logic to waiting until the duties come. Seeing what that does to pricing if the general expectation is that you are going to see, at least from a US lumber perspective, see pricing go up here in the next several months.

You would probably wait to see how that shakes out before you start making meaningful operating decisions, at least in terms of long-term curtailments, etcetera. You might dial back production around the margin, certainly probably not run extra overtime. Those kinds of things. But I would guess that, you know, probably folks are thinking about let us see what happens with pricing after these duties come into play. We will see what happens with the February investigation, see where prices settle out before we make any sort of big operating decisions. That would be my guess.

Mark Weintraub: Understood. And just but is there any reason why that the window we on sort of cost looking at what you are doing, like, the $11 million again, if you put in where prices are, would seem to be fairly negative EBITDA. Why that would not be a good visual on just, you know, how distressed you would think most other manufacturers would be at this juncture.

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, our view and I think we have seen this over time, is from a cost structure standpoint, we are in a pretty good place on the cost curve. So I still believe that to be the case. And so you can take that assumption and do what you will and apply that to other manufacturers. But that is certainly we view ourselves to be low-cost producers and, you know, from an overall cost standpoint, efficiency standpoint, we feel like we are in pretty good shape relative to most of the industry.

Mark Weintraub: Great. And then lastly, so just on the section two thirty-two, first, any intelligence on, you know, how you think that might play out? And then one point of clarification. So I believe that, you know, tariffs for instance, on European lumber are not being applied while a section two thirty-two is in process. Is that accurate so that when the section two thirty-two investigation is concluded, do then do at least European the European would start having a tariff on it.

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, with respect to the European, you are absolutely right. No tariffs on European lumber coming in while the two thirty-two investigation is ongoing. And so all things being equal, I think you are right. Now obviously, there is a lot of discussion going on between the US government and the European government. The EU on what a trade deal might look like. And so I think there is always an open question. How something in terms of a trade deal would affect that. But I think the default answer is just you said, you know, in terms of $2.32, you know, we do not have anything to offer up today in terms of timing, scope, magnitude.

I guess the only thing I would say with respect to that is this does seem to a large degree to be prefaced on the administration's desire to see more manufacturing in the US. And so, you know, to the degree that you can read into that, what happens with February, I would, you know, I would guess there is some chance that you see some additional tariffs, but again, we do not have anything specific to provide at this point.

Mark Weintraub: Thanks, Sam. Appreciate it.

Devin Stockfish: Yep. Thank you.

Operator: Our next question comes from Kurt Yinger with D. A. Davidson. Please proceed with your question.

Kurt Yinger: Great. Thanks, and good morning, everyone. Just wanted to circle back around on the divestitures, you know, understanding that we are not getting to get into specifics of transactions that have not been announced, but from an expectation standpoint, I guess, how much of the Roanoke acquisition would you expect to be kind of funded with divestitures? And is there a reasonable kind of timeline for us to think about at least when you hope to maybe have those deals completed by?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah, Kurt. So not sure I can give you a whole bunch more specifics as you know, but, you know, we have said we are going to fund that transaction through the divestiture of noncore Timberland. So, you know, I would expect that to be the vast majority, if not all of it. You know, with respect to timing, again, that is something we are focused on. We will report back as appropriate. I can offer up that, you know, as you look at the requirements under the IRS code section ten thirty-one, those exchanges have to be completed within a hundred and eighty-day timeline.

So we are certainly cognizant of that and looking forward to moving forward on these transactions.

Kurt Yinger: Okay. Got it. That is helpful. And then, you know, just kind of looking at the balance sheet, if we do not factor in the divestitures, it seems like leverage could maybe pick up into the mid-4s by year-end. I guess, in that context, how should we think about your appetite for share repurchases, at least here in the near term? And how are you thinking about overall flexibility just given what we know is coming in terms of Monticello spending next year as well?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. Look, Kurt. I mean, we feel really good about the strength of our balance sheet. We have been working hard for the last, you know, several years, a number of years to get our operating posture and profile in the right position, to get our balance sheet in the right place. So, you know, as we navigate whatever market conditions may arise, we feel really good about how we are positioned. A lot of flexibility. Feel really good as we think about our balance sheet and opportunities there. And I think more broadly speaking on share repurchase, we are pleased to have been very active in that space over the course of the second quarter.

Completing $100 million in the quarter, our highest level that we have done in several years. So I think an indication that we view it as a very attractive lever. You know, for us, I think we will continue to weigh the opportunities available in that space moving forward and not just in share repurchase. But other opportunities that may arise. And so part of that evaluation process and what we are weighing as we are focusing on that is ensuring we maintain a strong balance sheet, have the right capacity for future growth opportunities.

So as always, we are going to look at all of that and focus on allocating cash in the way that creates the most long-term value for shareholders.

Kurt Yinger: Okay. Got it. Thank you.

Operator: Our next question comes from Ketan Mamtora with BMO Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.

Ketan Mamtora: Thank you. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Perhaps to start with, Devin, are you hearing anything from your customers around, you know, kind of substitution of SPF or SYP when we use QT. Now go into place? Is there a price differential, you know, where this sort of really starts to pick up?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, as you can imagine, we are certainly focused on this right now given the footprints that we have across the South. You know, I do think at current pricing, which, you know, we have seen a pretty decent gap develop between SPF and southern yellow pine. At this kind of pricing level, frankly, I think even at a smaller gap, there is an opportunity. Yes. Particularly, you know, you think about an environment where builders are really focused on margin and affordability for buyers. We also know that southern yellow pine lumber availability is growing. Where SPF is shrinking.

So and I do think this is an opportune moment for builders to be taking a closer look at this. Nice cost-saving opportunity. You know, as you know, there are some historical views in certain markets around, you know, using Southern Yellow Pine versus SPF. I do think to some degree, you know, some of that is a little outdated around warp, etcetera, with the way that we dry lumber these days. That is much less of an issue than it used to be. You know, Weyerhaeuser Company actually has a lot of warp-stable products that I think can fit squarely. So that is an area that we are really focused on.

This is an opportunity, I think, for southern yellow pine producers to go out and take market share. Just given this price dynamic, which I think will be in place to some degree for a while here.

Ketan Mamtora: Yeah. That is helpful. And then just as a follow-up, your operating rate in Q2 for Lumber OST and EWP Place?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. In Q2, we were kind of in the high 80s on lumber, mid-90s on OSB, and high seventies in EWP.

Ketan Mamtora: Got it. That is very helpful. I will turn it over. Thank you.

Operator: Our next question comes from Matthew McKellar with RBC Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.

Matthew McKellar: Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. I mean, one big beautiful bill and the increase in the size of the tax REIT subsidiary that could be held in a REIT. Just recognizing you have expressed a bullish view on timberland valuations here, is it appropriate or attractive to allocate additional capital to Wood Products? What makes sense for your business? Thanks.

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. You bet, Matt. I mean, absolutely, we would have interest in wood products M&A. As you referenced, we have been focused on the timberland side with that $1 billion target. We have also been investing in our wood products business through our CapEx program. Really, that has been a focus on working to reduce cost and grow volume organically over time. We announced the new timber strand facility last fall in Monticello, Arkansas, making great progress on that, as we mentioned. We really like the opportunity to grow our EWP business. Create that creates value across our whole portfolio. Yeah.

We certainly remain open to acquisitions on the wood product space if we found the right asset at the right price. Aligns well with our portfolio, creates clear value for shareholders. We have looked at a handful of deals over the past few years, and we will continue to look at opportunities as they come available. But, of course, it is always got to meet our strategic and financial criteria.

Matthew McKellar: Great. That is helpful. Thank you. And then last one for me. Just around forest carbon credits. I think you mentioned six additional projects under development. Could you just clarify, are those all tracking to 2026 in terms of registration and sales? And just maybe more broadly, what is the pipeline for '26 look like compared to how we are thinking about '25 here? Thank you.

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. So in addition to the three that we have approved, we have six more that are currently under development. Some of those we do expect to be issued in 2025. With the remainder kind of early 2026, and then we are building out additional projects to put into the pipeline after that. So, you know, we are just going to continue to grow this pipeline over time. We have a long list of potential properties that I think would be good carbon opportunities. And so we would expect this pipeline to just continue to grow year after year.

Matthew McKellar: Thanks very much. I will turn it back.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from Hong Hang with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.

Hong Hang: Yes. Hey. Hey, good morning, everybody.

Devin Stockfish: Good morning.

Hong Hang: I think on Japan, you have talked about gaining some market share in the country this quarter. Do you think that is sustainable, or is there an expectation for that to kind of reverse later this year?

Devin Stockfish: No. I mean, my expectation is that is going to continue to be the case. For really a few reasons. You know, when you look at what is going on in Europe generally, you can see this in a lot of the producing regions. Log costs have gone up pretty dramatically, and so that is changing the cost structure for a lot of the products that have historically been sent into Japan. We have always had, when I talk about we, I mean us and our primary customers in Japan, we have had a cost advantage in that market relative to the Europeans. I think that will just continue to grow.

That is also going to be supported with our Japanese big Japanese customer that is rebuilding a mill that was burned down a few years ago. That is progressing well. The first line is up and running. When that is fully operational in '27, they are going to have a world-class low-cost mill that is just going to further support their cost competitiveness. And so, you know, the overall population is probably not going up in Japan. And so, overall, you know, you would expect housing to decline over time.

But that being said, we do think that just by virtue of gaining market share, taking a bigger piece of the pie together with our customers, that business should be strong and healthy for the foreseeable future.

Hong Hang: Got it. And I guess on China, is the is it safe to just say the expectation is that imports will not resume until the entire trade war resolves itself?

Devin Stockfish: I mean, I think that is probably a reasonable assumption. I think, you know, obviously, there is a lot going on there in terms of trade with China. There are discussions on. We have made our position very clear to the administration, commerce, USTR, etcetera. That we would like to open that market back up. They understand that. But, certainly, there are bigger issues at play. So I think that is probably a reasonable. We are, of course, going to continue to push from our end to try to open that market back up.

But I would say the silver lining there is in the interim, you know, that has allowed us particularly out of the US South, to pivot our focus to India. And I think that is going to be a nice growth opportunity as we expand our export business out of the South. So we will see it come back eventually. I am sure the timing is still TBD.

Hong Hang: Got it. Thanks. Have a great weekend.

Devin Stockfish: Thank you. Thank you.

Operator: Our next question comes from Amir Patel with CIBC Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.

Amir Patel: Hi. Good morning. Devin, there are some reports in Canada that the federal and provincial governments are more open to exploring a quota as a potential solution to the softwood lumber dispute. Do you see any kind of movement on the US side there? Any prospects that may be a path forward?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean so, look, at a high level, there are a lot of discussions going on between the US and Canadian government right now. I am sure that at least from the Canadian side, there has been some discussion from the governmental negotiators around lumber and wood. I am not sure I have any particular insight on to what extent those conversations are progressing. I would just say, you know, over time, obviously, this will get resolved. Is that going to happen in the very near term? I think that is very hard to say.

Whether that includes a quota or some other mechanism, you know, the devil is in the details, and there is a lot that goes into, you know, what would be acceptable from the U.S. side. There are lots of parties, as you know, that are involved in these discussions. And so, you know, I think it is hard to say how quickly this will all get resolved. Lots of conversation. Ultimately, I am sure there will be a resolution at some point in the future, but I am not sure I think that is necessarily going to happen in the very near term.

Amir Patel: Yeah. Fair enough. Thanks. That is all I had. I will turn it over.

Operator: Our next question comes from Mike Roxland with Truist Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Mike Roxland: Yeah. Thank you, Devin, Davey, Andy for taking my questions. Just the first one I had in terms of the EWP. Devin, what is your expectation for the operating rate given your outlook on for lower sales?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, so we are going to see lower operating rates in Q3 relative to Q2. And that is really just a reflection on the market dynamic. You know, we can dial that up if we see the demand environment improve over the quarter. But just given where things are today, we have dialed that back just a little bit around the margins. You know, we do have, I think, a high-quality product. And so, you know, we have got good customer demand from our long-term customers, and we are always looking to take market share and those kinds of things.

But at today's present building level, I think it is prudent for us to dial that back just a little bit until we start to see some pickup in construction activity.

Mike Roxland: Got it. Makes sense. And then just one quick question on your three Q. What product outlook overall? Based on your guidance calling for three Q would possibly be comparable to 2Q, and given where lumber and OSB prices stand today versus the two Q average, is it fair to say that EBITDA would possibly be down fifty, $60 million sequentially?

Devin Stockfish: Yeah. I mean, so, you know, we obviously provide the, you know, the spread on for every $10 a 50,000,000 annually in lumber and $32,000,000 on OSB. So, you know, you can do the math as we progress across the quarter. You know, we find it very difficult to predict what is going to happen with commodity prices, which is how, you know, why we do our outlook that way, providing guidance on the things that we have a little bit more control and visibility into. So we will see what happens with pricing over the course of the quarter.

As I said, you know, at least from a lumber standpoint, there is going to be a lot of volatility here in the near term as these duties come into place. You know, over time, you would not expect the industry to continue to operate below cash flow breakeven, and if you look back over history, you can see lots of examples of what happens in that. And so our expectation is obviously, ultimately, you should see some upward movement on lumber pricing. OSB, you know, similar story. Sometimes that takes a little bit longer to play out. But, ultimately, you know, the industry, you would assume, is going to operate at a level that is profitable.

And so we will see how long that takes. But just in terms of, you know, specific lumber and OSB, you know, you can sort of do that math based on the sensitivities that we provide on overall EBITDA.

Mike Roxland: Got it. Thank you very much.

Devin Stockfish: Alright. Thank you. I think that was our final question.

Operator: Yes, it was. There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to Devin Stockfish for closing comments.

Devin Stockfish: Alright. Well, thanks, everyone, for joining us this morning, and thank you for your continued interest in Weyerhaeuser Company. Have a great day.

Operator: This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
