Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported third quarter income from continuing operations of $40 million, or 50 cents per share, compared to $70 million, or 89 cents per share, in third quarter 2007. Year-to-date income from continuing operations was $118 million, or $1.48 per share, compared to $138 million, or $1.75 per share, in the first nine months of 2007. Year-to-date 2007 included a special item charge of $10 million, or 13 cents per share, for timber damaged by forest fires.
Third quarter net income was $30 million, or 37 cents per share compared to $71 million, or 90 cents per share, in 2007. Year-to-date net income was $108 million, or $1.36 per share compared to $140 million, or $1.77 per share, in 2007. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, net income included a discontinued operations loss of $10 million, or 13 cents per share, primarily due to one-time tax charges related to the planned sale of our New Zealand holdings. For the comparable 2007 periods, income from discontinued operations was $1 million and $2 million, respectively.
Lee M. Thomas, Chairman, President and CEO said, "Given the challenging economic conditions, we continued to perform well and generated strong cash flows. We are still experiencing high demand for our Performance Fibers products and non-strategic timberlands which has partially mitigated the softness in our timber business resulting from the weak housing market."
Cash provided by operating activities was $248 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $264 million in 2007. Year-to-date cash available for distribution(1) was $159 million compared to $210 million in 2007. (See Schedule H for more details.)
Timber
Sales of $41 million declined $7 million from third quarter 2007, while operating income decreased $13 million to a $0.6 million operating loss. Year-to-date 2008 sales of $138 million were $25 million below the comparable prior year period, while operating income of $20 million decreased $36 million, excluding a loss of $10.1 million, or 13 cents per share, for timber damaged by forest fires in 2007.
In the Western region, sawtimber prices declined due to the weak housing market and oversupply of salvaged timber from a December 2007 storm. Additionally, costs increased from the prior year period primarily due to $3 million of higher depletion expense this quarter resulting from last quarter's timberland acquisition in the Northwest.
In the Eastern region, sales volumes shifted from sawtimber to pulpwood in response to the weak housing market and strong pulpwood demand. The shift in sales mix resulted in lower margins as pulpwood prices are below sawtimber prices but depletion cost per ton is comparable.
Despite lower operating earnings, the Timber segment generated $18 million and $79 million of EBITDA(1) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Based on current conditions, the Company expects to continue its planned reduction in sawtimber harvest for the balance of the year, thereby preserving higher-value timber until markets improve.
Real Estate
Sales of $26 million were $30 million below third quarter 2007, while operating income of $14 million declined $34 million. For the nine month period, sales and operating income were $79 million and $50 million, declining $27 million and $36 million from 2007, respectively.
The 2008 results reflect a mix shift within the segment. Third quarter 2008 included $17 million of non-strategic timberland sales while third quarter 2007 reflected a $47 million sale of 3,100 acres to an industrial buyer.
Performance Fibers
Sales of $210 million were $21 million above third quarter 2007, while operating income of $43 million was comparable. For the nine month period, sales of $572 million were $49 million above the prior year period, while operating income of $117 million was $16 million above 2007.
For the quarter, increased prices and improved cellulose specialty volumes offset lower absorbent material volumes and higher chemical, wood, energy and maintenance costs. The increased prices included a cost-related surcharge for cellulose specialty shipments effective September 1, 2008. Year-to-date, increased prices and lower depreciation expense more than offset cost increases.
Other Items
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, corporate expenses were $7 million and $23 million, down $2 million and $4 million from the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense.
Interest expense of $10 million was $4 million below third quarter 2007 while year-to-date interest expense of $33 million was $9 million below the prior year period. These declines reflect lower interest rates which more than offset higher average debt balances due to strategic timberland acquisitions. In addition, interest expense benefited from a favorable IRS settlement in third quarter 2008.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations before discrete items was 15.6 percent and 16.0 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 10.1 percent and 14.4 percent for the prior year periods. The increased rates were due to proportionately higher earnings from the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary.
Including discrete items, third quarter income tax was a benefit of $1 million, reflecting a $4 million favorable IRS settlement and other positive discrete adjustments. (See Schedule J for further details.)
Outlook
"Our strong balance sheet and diverse mix of businesses enable us to continue generating strong cash flow during these uncertain economic times," said Thomas. "With low debt levels and no near-term maturities, we have significant operating flexibility. Additionally, our Performance Fibers business has long-term contracts extending into 2011 covering nearly all of our high-value cellulose specialties production."
"Given the continued weak outlook for sawtimber, we expect full year 2008 earnings to be below the prior year period. In Performance Fibers, results are expected to improve with strong demand for our cellulose specialty products more than offsetting escalating raw material, energy and transportation costs," said Thomas. "In Real Estate, we anticipate continued interest for our non-strategic timberlands. Overall, cash available for distribution in 2008 is anticipated to be well above dividend requirements."

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.
The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document: the effect of the current financial crisis, which is impacting many areas of our economy, including the availability and cost of credit, pricing of raw materials and energy and demand for our products and real estate; the cyclical and competitive nature of the industries in which we operate; fluctuations in demand for, or supply of, our forest products and real estate offerings; entry of new competitors into our markets; changes in global economic conditions and world events, including political changes in particular regions or countries; changes in energy and raw material prices, particularly for our performance fibers and wood products businesses; impacts of the rising cost of fuel, including the cost and availability of transportation for our products, both domestically and internationally, and the cost and availability of third party logging and trucking services; unanticipated equipment maintenance and repair requirements at our manufacturing facilities; the geographic concentration of a significant portion of our timberland; our ability to identify, finance and complete timberland acquisitions; changes in environmental laws and regulations, including laws regarding air emissions and water discharges, remediation of contaminated sites, timber harvesting, delineation of wetlands, and endangered species, that may restrict or adversely impact our ability to conduct our business, or increase the cost of doing so; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as hurricanes, wind storms and wildfires, which can adversely affect our timberlands and the production, distribution and availability of our products and raw materials such as wood, energy and chemicals; interest rate and currency movements; our capacity to incur additional debt, and any decision we may make to do so; changes in tariffs, taxes or treaties relating to the import and export of our products or those of our competitors; the ability to complete like-kind-exchanges of property; changes in key management and personnel; our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT and to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries; and changes in tax laws that could reduce the benefits associated with REIT status.
In addition, specifically with respect to our Real Estate business, the following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document: the cyclical nature of the real estate business generally, including fluctuations in demand for both entitled and unentitled property; the lengthy, uncertain and costly process associated with the ownership, entitlement and development of real estate, especially in Florida, which also may be affected by changes in law, policy and political factors beyond our control; the potential for legal challenges to entitlements and permits in connection with our properties; unexpected delays in the entry into or closing of real estate transactions; the existence of competing developers and communities in the markets in which we own property; the pace of development and the rate and timing of absorption of existing entitled property in the markets in which we own property; changes in the demographics affecting projected population growth and migration to the Southeastern U.S.; changes in environmental laws and regulations, including laws regarding water withdrawal and management and delineation of wetlands, that may restrict or adversely impact our ability to sell or develop properties; the cost of the development of property generally, including the cost of property taxes, labor and construction materials; the timing of construction and availability of public infrastructure; and the availability of financing for real estate development and mortgage loans.
Additional factors are described in the company's most recent Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rayonier assumes no obligation to update these statements except as is required by law.
