SEATTLE, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.21 per share on the common stock of the company, reflecting a 5 percent increase from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share.

The dividend is payable in cash on March 21, 2025, to holders of record of such common stock as of the close of business on March 7, 2025.

"We're pleased to announce this increase in our quarterly base dividend," said Devin W. Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. "With today's announcement, we have delivered on the commitment we set in 2021 to grow our sustainable base dividend by 5 percent annually through 2025. We continue to believe our dividend framework, combined with opportunistic share repurchase, will enhance our ability to drive long-term shareholder value by returning meaningful and appropriate amounts of cash back to shareholders across a variety of market conditions." 

Under Weyerhaeuser's cash return framework, the company expects to supplement its quarterly base cash dividend, as appropriate, with an additional return of variable cash to achieve a targeted total return to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD).
