WILDLIGHT, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rayonier Inc. (NYSE:RYN) today reported third quarter net income attributable to Rayonier of $75.8 million, or $0.53 per share, on revenues of $364.7 million. This compares to net loss attributable to Rayonier of $0.8 million, or ($0.01) per share, on revenues of $198.9 million in the prior year quarter.

The third quarter results included $14.5 million of income from a Large Disposition,¹ a $7.2 million gain on Fund II Timberland Dispositions attributable to Rayonier,² a $3.7 million gain on investment in Timber Funds,³ and a $0.9 million gain on debt extinguishment.⁴ The prior year third quarter results included costs related to the merger with Pope Resources⁵ of $0.4 million and timber write-offs resulting from casualty events⁶ attributable to Rayonier of $7.9 million.

Excluding these items and adjusting for pro forma net income adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership,⁸ pro forma net income⁷ was $50.3 million, or $0.35 per share, on pro forma revenues⁷ of $251.8 million versus pro forma net income⁷ of $7.3 million, or $0.06 per share, on pro forma revenues⁷ of $191.2 million in the prior year period.

Third quarter operating income was $123.3 million versus $1.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusting for $14.5 million of income from a Large Disposition,¹ a $7.2 million gain on Fund II Timberland Dispositions attributable to Rayonier,² a $3.7 million gain on investment in Timber Funds III and IV³ and $30.5 million of operating income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Timber Funds segment, current quarter pro forma operating income⁷ was $67.4 million. Prior year third quarter operating income included costs related to the merger with Pope Resources⁵ of $0.4 million, timber write-offs resulting from casualty events⁶ of $15.2 million (of which $7.9 million was attributable to Rayonier) and an operating loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Timber Funds segment of $10.3 million. Excluding these items, pro forma operating income⁷ was $20.3 million in the prior year period. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ was $114.6 million versus $67.2 million in the prior year period. The following table summarizes operating income (loss), pro forma operating income (loss)⁷ and Adjusted EBITDA⁷ for the current quarter and comparable prior year period:

Year-to-date cash provided by operating activities was $277.4 million versus $138.0 million in the prior year period. Year-to-date cash available for distribution (CAD)⁷ of $203.9 million increased $79.7 million versus the prior year period primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA⁷ ($86.5 million) and lower cash interest paid ($1.5 million), partially offset by higher cash taxes paid ($6.7 million) and higher capital expenditures ($1.7 million).

“We are pleased to report our strongest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA result since our separation into a ‘pure-play’ timberland REIT in 2014,” said David Nunes, President and CEO. “Adjusted EBITDA of $114.6 million was 71% higher than the prior year quarter, fueled by solid contributions across our timber segments as well as an outsized contribution from our Real Estate segment due to the closing of two significant development transactions.”

“In Southern Timber, Adjusted EBITDA declined 7% versus the prior year quarter, as 16% higher net stumpage prices were more than offset by a 20% reduction in harvest volumes primarily due to wet weather conditions. In Pacific Northwest Timber, Adjusted EBITDA improved 38% versus the prior year quarter primarily due to a 15% increase in sawtimber prices. In New Zealand Timber, Adjusted EBITDA improved 10% versus the prior year quarter, as favorable pricing more than offset a significant increase in export shipping costs as well as 14% lower production volumes due to a two-week government-mandated shutdown in August related to COVID-19.”

“The Real Estate segment had an exceptionally strong quarter, generating record levels of pro forma sales, pro forma operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, largely due to a $37.5 million Unimproved Development sale consisting of 359 acres in Kingston, Washington, which was part of the Pope Resources real estate portfolio. Real Estate segment Adjusted EBITDA improved $41.5 million versus the prior year quarter, as weighted-average pricing of $17,490 per acre was partially offset by a 61% reduction in acres sold.”

“Notably, we also closed several transactions during the third quarter associated with our planned exit of the Timber Funds business that we acquired in the Pope Resources transaction. Specifically, during the quarter, we sold the rights to manage two timber funds (Fund III and Fund IV) that were previously managed by Pope’s Olympic Resource Management (ORM) subsidiary, as well as our co-investment stake in both funds, for an aggregate purchase price of $35.9 million. We subsequently entered into three separate agreements to sell the timberland assets within Fund II for an aggregate purchase price of $156.8 million. One of these transactions, totaling $87.1 million, closed on September 30^th and is reflected in our third quarter financial results. The other two transactions, totaling $69.7 million, closed on October 5^th and November 1^st, respectively, and will be reflected in our fourth quarter financial results. Based on Rayonier’s 20% ownership interest in Fund II and factoring in the repayment of Fund II debt, proceeds to Rayonier from the sale of the Fund II assets will be approximately $24 million. In addition, we expect to receive a carried interest incentive fee upon the wind down of Fund II totaling approximately $14 million. With the completion of these various transactions, we will fully exit the Timber Funds business and expect to discontinue reporting the Timber Funds segment beginning in Q1 2022.”

Southern Timber

Third quarter sales of $44.8 million decreased $2.8 million, or 6%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 20% to 1.19 million tons versus 1.48 million tons in the prior year period, as wet weather conditions and constrained trucking availability impacted production across the region. Average pine sawtimber stumpage prices increased 12% to $28.06 per ton versus $25.02 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average pine sawtimber stumpage prices was driven by strong domestic lumber demand, as well as upward pressure on chip-n-saw pricing due to increased competition from pulp mills. Average pine pulpwood stumpage prices climbed 23% to $19.14 per ton versus $15.50 per ton in the prior year period. The significant increase in pulpwood pricing relative to the prior year period reflects strong domestic demand, constrained supply due to wet weather conditions and an increase in pulpwood exports to China. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) increased 16% to $21.88 per ton versus $18.88 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $12.8 million increased $7.7 million versus the prior year period due to the prior year period write-off of timber basis as a result of Hurricane Laura⁶ ($6.0 million), higher net stumpage prices ($3.6 million), lower depletion rates ($0.4 million) and lower costs ($0.3 million), partially offset by lower volumes ($2.6 million).

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ of $24.4 million was 7%, or $1.7 million, below the prior year period.

Pacific Northwest Timber

Third quarter sales of $31.5 million increased $2.6 million, or 9%, versus the prior year period, while harvest volumes of 346,000 tons remained flat versus the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices increased 15% to $107.56 per ton versus $93.34 per ton in the prior year period, driven by favorable domestic lumber markets coupled with increased export demand. Average delivered pulpwood prices decreased 2% to $31.34 per ton versus $32.12 per ton in the prior year period, as increased lumber production resulted in an increased supply of competing sawmill residuals. Operating income of $2.1 million improved $3.9 million versus the prior year period due to higher net stumpage prices ($3.2 million), lower costs ($0.5 million) and lower depletion rates ($0.4 million), partially offset by lower non-timber income ($0.2 million).

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ of $12.5 million was 38%, or $3.5 million, above the prior year period.

New Zealand Timber

Third quarter sales of $75.6 million increased $12.8 million, or 20%, versus the prior year period, as higher log prices were partially offset by lower volumes. Harvest volumes decreased 14% to 668,000 tons versus 776,000 tons in the prior year period, primarily due to the government-mandated shutdown of all non-essential activity in New Zealand (including the harvesting and transport of logs) from August 18^th through August 31^st due to an outbreak of COVID-19. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 59% to $149.68 per ton versus $94.42 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 21% to $85.00 per ton versus $70.24 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in export sawtimber prices versus the prior year period reflects the restriction on competing log imports into China from Australia in the current year quarter, as well as the ability of log exporters to pass higher costs along to customers in the current environment. While net stumpage realizations on export volume were above prior year period levels, favorable export pricing was largely offset by significantly higher shipping costs, as supply chain issues drove increased freight and demurrage costs. The increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven in part by the rise in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.70 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.66 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices improved 14% versus the prior year period, following the upward trend in the export market. Operating income of $13.3 million increased $2.6 million versus the prior year period as a result of higher net stumpage prices ($6.7 million), favorable foreign exchange impacts ($1.2 million) and lower depletion rates ($0.2 million), partially offset by lower carbon credit sales ($3.3 million), lower volumes ($1.9 million) and higher costs ($0.3 million).

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ of $19.9 million was 10%, or $1.8 million, above the prior year period.

Timber Funds

Third quarter sales of $94.5 million increased $84.7 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $41.3 million increased $53.7 million versus the prior year period. Third quarter sales and operating income included $87.1 million and $36.0 million, respectively, from the Fund II Timberland Dispositions.² Third quarter operating income also included a $3.7 million gain on investment in Timber Funds,³ which reflects the gain recognized on the sale of our investment in Timber Funds III and IV. The prior year quarter included timber write-offs of $9.2 million resulting from two fires in Oregon.⁶ Excluding these items and adjusting for the portion of sales and operating income attributable to noncontrolling interests, pro forma sales⁷ were $1.6 million and pro forma operating loss⁷ was $0.2 million. This compares to pro forma sales⁷ and pro forma operating loss⁷ of $2.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the prior year period.

Harvest volumes decreased 44% to 61,000 tons versus 110,000 tons in the prior year period, as Timber Funds III and IV were sold during the quarter and therefore contributed volume only through the July 21^st closing date.

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ of $0.5 million was $0.3 million above the prior year period.

Real Estate

Third quarter sales of $93.4 million increased $64.6 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $60.6 million increased $51.2 million versus the prior year period. Third quarter sales and operating income included $20.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively, from Large Dispositions.¹ Excluding this item, pro forma sales⁷ were $73.4 million, while pro forma operating income⁷ was $46.1 million. Pro forma sales⁷ and pro forma operating income⁷ increased versus the prior year period due to a significant increase in weighted-average prices ($17,490 per acre versus $2,332 per acre in the prior year period), partially offset by a 61% reduction in the number of acres sold (4,131 acres sold versus 10,562 acres sold in the prior year period).

Improved Development sales of $27.8 million included $25.0 million from the Belfast Commerce Park development project south of Savannah, Georgia and $2.8 million from the Wildlight development project north of Jacksonville, Florida. Sales in the Belfast Commerce Park consisted of a 471-acre parcel for $25.0 million ($53,000 per acre). Sales in Wildlight consisted of 42 residential lots for $2.8 million (an average of $66,000 per lot or $354,000 per acre). This compares to prior year period Improved Development sales of $1.3 million.

Unimproved Development sales of $37.5 million consisted of a 359-acre sale in Kingston, Washington for $105,000 per acre. This property was one of the Higher and Better Use assets acquired in our 2020 acquisition of Pope Resources. There were no Unimproved Development sales in the prior year period.

Rural sales of $6.9 million consisted of 3,260 acres at an average price of $2,128 per acre. This compares to prior year period sales of $23.2 million, which consisted of 10,482 acres at an average price of $2,218 per acre.

Timberland & Non-Strategic sales in the current quarter and the prior year quarter were negligible.

Large Dispositions in the quarter totaled $20.0 million and consisted of 8,088 acres in Washington at an average price of $2,479 per acre. There were no Large Dispositions in the prior year period.

There were no Conservation Easement sales in the third quarter. This compares to prior year period sales of $3.1 million. Because these transactions involve the conveyance of certain land use rights rather than an outright sale of the land, they are not reflected in our average per-acre metrics for the segment.

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁷ of $63.8 million was $41.5 million above the prior year period.

Trading

Third quarter sales of $25.6 million increased $3.4 million versus the prior year period primarily due to higher prices, partially offset by lower volumes. Sales volumes decreased 30% to 177,000 tons versus 252,000 tons in the prior year period. The Trading segment generated breakeven results versus an operating loss of $0.6 million in the prior year period.

Other Items

Third quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $6.7 million decreased $2.0 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower employee benefits costs ($0.6 million), lower legal costs ($0.5 million) and lower other overhead costs ($0.5 million), coupled with $0.4 million of costs related to the Pope Resources merger⁵ in the prior year period.

Third quarter interest expense of $11.3 million increased $0.8 million versus the prior year period due to higher average debt outstanding during the period.

Third quarter interest and miscellaneous income of $1.3 million increased $1.4 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to a $0.9 million gain on debt extinguishment⁴ related to the voluntary repayment of our $45 million credit facility with Northwest Farm Credit Services (NWFCS), which was assumed in connection with the Pope Resources acquisition.

Third quarter income tax expense of $2.8 million increased $2.1 million versus the prior year period. The New Zealand subsidiary is the primary driver of income tax expense.

In September 2020, we established an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program under which we may sell common shares, from time to time, having an aggregate sales price of up to $300 million. There were 1.4 million shares issued under the ATM program during the three months ended September 30, 2021 at an average price of $37.26 per share.

Outlook

“Based on our year-to-date results and our expectations for the fourth quarter, we now anticipate full-year net income attributable to Rayonier of $148 to $152 million, EPS of $1.05 to $1.08, pro forma EPS of $0.62 to $0.65, and Adjusted EBITDA of $320 to $330 million,” said Nunes.

“In our Southern Timber segment, we now expect full-year harvest volumes of 5.7 to 5.8 million tons, as production has been constrained by regional weather conditions and trucking availability. However, we expect that improved pricing will largely offset the decline in volumes. Overall, we now expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $118 to $120 million, a slight decrease at the midpoint from prior guidance.”

“In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we are maintaining our full-year volume guidance of 1.7 to 1.8 million tons. We expect that weighted average log pricing in the region will be lower in the fourth quarter as compared to the exceptionally strong pricing realized during the third quarter, but will be fairly consistent with the pricing achieved during the first half of the year. We now expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $53 to $55 million, a modest increase at the midpoint from prior guidance.”

“In our New Zealand Timber segment, we now expect full-year harvest volumes of 2.5 to 2.6 million tons, as we do not expect to fully recover production lost during the third quarter due to the COVID-19 shutdown. We further expect lower export pricing during the fourth quarter as log inventories in China remain elevated. Overall, we now expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $75 to $78 million, a decrease from prior guidance.”

“In our Real Estate segment, we now expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $101 to $104 million, a significant increase from prior guidance. The successful completion of a $37.5 million Unimproved Development sale during the third quarter is the primary driver for this favorable revision, as we were able to execute on this sale sooner than previously anticipated. Following an extraordinarily strong third quarter, we expect real estate closings for the balance of the year to be relatively light.

(b)	Capital expenditures exclude timberland acquisitions of $51.9 million and $24.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 also exclude the Pope Resources acquisition.
(c)	Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) is defined as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding timberland acquisitions and real estate development investments), CAD attributable to noncontrolling interests in Timber Funds, and working capital and other balance sheet changes. CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period that is available for common stock dividends, distributions to Operating Partnership unitholders, distributions to noncontrolling interests, repurchase of the Company's common shares, debt reduction, timberland acquisitions and real estate development investments. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.
(d)	“Timber write-offs resulting from casualty events” include the write-off of merchantable and pre-merchantable timber volume destroyed by casualty events that cannot be salvaged.
(e)	“Gain on investment in Timber Funds” represents the gain recognized on the sale of rights to manage two timber funds (Funds III and IV) previously managed by the Company's Olympic Resources Management (ORM) subsidiary, as well as its co-investment stake in both funds.
(f)	“Fund II Timberland Dispositions” represent the disposition of Fund II Timberland assets, which we manage and own a co-investment stake in. Proceeds from Fund II Timberland Dispositions will ultimately be distributed to owners of ORM Timber Fund II and not reinvested.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has completed two dispositions of approximately 17,000 acres in total. In June 2021, the Company completed a disposition of approximately 9,000 acres in Washington for a sales price and gain of approximately $36.0 million and $30.3 million, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to make strategic decisions about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis attributable to Rayonier.
(i)	Cash interest paid is presented net of patronage refunds received of $6.5 million and $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, excluding patronage refunds attributable to noncontrolling interests in Timber Funds.

Rayonier believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate our core business operations because it excludes specific items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results attributable to Rayonier.
(l)	“Loss from terminated cash flow hedge” is the mark to market loss recognized in earnings when the hedged cash flows will no longer occur
(m)	“(Gain) Loss related to debt extinguishments and modifications” includes prepayment penalties, the write-off of fair market value adjustments and unamortized capitalized loan costs and legal and arrangement fees associated with refinancing.
