REPORT OF REVISED 1ST QTR. EARNINGS

Exhibit No. 99

 

Rayonier Reports Revised (Upward) First Quarter Earnings

 

JACKSONVILLE, FL, May 7, 2003—Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) said today it has revised its first quarter earnings from the previously reported 22 cents per share to 29 cents as the result of the company’s independent auditors and accounting advisors, Deloitte & Touche, changing its position on the accounting treatment and timing of recording certain tax benefits in the year.

 

Rayonier said that under the previous accounting treatment agreed to with Deloitte & Touche, the benefits relating to the 1996-97 tax audit years affected the 2003 annual effective tax rate, resulting in only a pro-rata portion of the tax benefits being recorded in the first quarter. As a result of the revised accounting treatment, the tax benefits are being fully recognized in the first quarter. The total benefit for the year is unchanged.

 

The earnings release as revised (see below) reflects changes that primarily relate to items affected by net income, tax expense and deferred taxes. The company previously reported first quarter net income of $6.1 million with an income tax expense of $1.8 million. This has now been revised to net income of $8.2 million with an income tax benefit of $0.3 million.

 

A Form 8-K will be furnished to the SEC and revised supplemental materials made available to investors on the company’s website.

REVISED EARNINGS STATEMENT

 

Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported first quarter net income of $ 8.2 million, or 29 cents per share, compared to $12.9 million, or 46 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2002 and $9.4 million, or 33 cents per share, in first quarter 2002.

 

Lee Nutter, Chairman, President and CEO said: “Although first quarter results were negatively impacted by unusually high energy and hardwood costs in our Performance Fibers business, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for our cellulose specialty products and improving prices for absorbent materials as worldwide inventories tighten. While timber markets remain soft, our land sales program continues to generate strong results.”

 

First quarter income was below fourth quarter primarily due to the impact of limited hardwood fiber availability that constrained production and sales of high value cellulose

 


specialties, higher energy costs and lower absorbent materials prices. These variances were partially offset by lower interest expense, the absence of fourth quarter’s $2.7 million increase in disposition reserves and a tax benefit resulting from tax audit negotiations. Results were below first quarter 2002 largely due to higher performance fibers’ hardwood and energy costs and lower Southeast U.S. timber and lumber prices, somewhat offset by reduced interest expense and the first quarter 2003 tax benefit.

 

Sales of $266 million were $20 million below fourth quarter primarily due to unfavorable performance fibers’ sales mix, lower absorbent materials prices and reduced trading activity partially offset by higher cellulose specialties prices. Sales were comparable to first quarter 2002.

 

Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $39 million from $49 million in the fourth quarter and $62 million in first quarter 2002, primarily due to higher working capital requirements, a $9.4 million pension fund contribution and lower operating earnings. These items also caused free cash flow to decline to $13 million compared to $23 million in the fourth quarter and $36 million in first quarter 2002. EBITDA was $65 million, a decrease of $12 million and $9 million from fourth and first quarter 2002, respectively, mainly due to lower operating results. (EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures defined in Exhibit A.) Debt at quarter-end of $627 million was $26 million and $202 million below year-end 2002 and first quarter 2002, respectively. The debt-to-capital ratio of 47.0 percent reflects a decline of 0.9 and 6.5 percentage points from year-end 2002 and first quarter 2002, respectively.

 

Performance Fibers

 

Sales of $129 million were $5.1 million below fourth quarter primarily due to lower cellulose specialties volume and absorbent materials prices, partially offset by higher cellulose specialties prices. Cellulose specialties volume declined from a seasonally strong fourth quarter due to weather related limited hardwood supply and an extended maintenance shutdown at the Fernandina Mill. Lower sales, coupled with higher manufacturing costs, resulted in an operating loss of $1.2 million compared to fourth quarter operating income of $6.7 million. Compared to first quarter 2002, sales were essentially unchanged while operating income decreased $8 million, primarily due to increased hardwood and energy costs, and lower cellulose specialties volume and absorbent materials prices, partially offset by higher cellulose specialties prices.

 


Timber and Land

 

Sales of $61 million and operating income of $26 million were $2.4 million and $4.2 million below fourth quarter, respectively. Sales declined mainly due to reduced U.S. timber prices and seasonally lower New Zealand volume, partially offset by higher Northwest U.S. volume and New Zealand timber prices. Operating income declined primarily due to a seasonal reduction in hunting lease income. Compared to first quarter 2002, sales were unchanged, reflecting lower land sales and Southeast U.S. timber prices, essentially offset by increased U.S. timber volume and New Zealand timber prices. Operating income compared to first quarter 2002 declined $3.5 million, mainly due to lower U.S. timber prices and unfavorable balance sheet foreign exchange translation, partially offset by higher U.S. timber volume and New Zealand timber prices.

 

Wood Products

 

Sales of $30 million and an operating loss of $3.2 million were comparable to fourth quarter levels. Higher lumber prices were offset by increased manufacturing costs at MDF mainly due to the appreciation of the New Zealand dollar. Compared to first quarter 2002, sales declined $4 million while the operating loss increased $2.4 million. Sales declined primarily due to lower lumber prices while operating income was also impacted by the higher MDF manufacturing costs.

 

Other Operations

 

Wood products’ trading revenue of $47 million declined $13 million compared to fourth quarter while operating results improved $1.3 million to break-even, mainly due to improved margins. Compared to first quarter 2002, sales were essentially unchanged while operating results improved $1.6 million due to favorable margins.

 

Other Items

 

Corporate expenses of $5 million were $1.8 million below fourth quarter primarily due to a re-audit of 2001 and 2000 financial statements and a fourth quarter contribution to the Rayonier Foundation. Corporate expenses were $1.4 million below first quarter 2002 primarily due to lower incentive compensation expenses.

 

Intersegment eliminations and other income of $2.8 million was $2 million below fourth quarter largely due to reduced intercompany trading activity and the unfavorable impact of balance sheet foreign exchange translation. A favorable variance compared to first quarter 2002

 


of $2.4 million was primarily due to positive balance sheet foreign exchange translation and intersegment eliminations.

 

Interest expense of $12 million was $4.7 million and $3.1 million below fourth quarter and first quarter 2002, respectively. The favorable variance compared to fourth quarter was due to year-end tax deficiency interest charges and lower debt, while the variance compared to first quarter 2002 was due to reduced debt.

 

Interest and miscellaneous income of $1.1 million was slightly higher than both fourth and first quarter 2002 primarily due to $0.8 million of interest income relating to a pre-1994 tax audit settlement.

 

An income tax benefit of $ 0.3 million mainly resulting from tax audit negotiations compared unfavorably to a benefit of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter resulting from $4 million in tax benefits associated with a 10 percent appreciation in the New Zealand dollar and previously recognized foreign losses. The effective tax rate in the first quarter 2002 was 28.4%.

 

Outlook

 

“Second quarter results are expected to be significantly better than first quarter primarily due to the April 14 closing of the previously announced $40 million (80 cents per share) Matanzas Marsh land sale,” Nutter said. “But we also expect stronger results from Performance Fibers as product mix, volume and absorbent materials prices improve.”

 

Rayonier has more than 2 million acres of timber and land in the U.S. and New Zealand and is the world’s premier supplier of high performance specialty cellulose fibers. Approximately 40 percent of Rayonier’s sales are outside the U.S. to customers in more than 50 countries.

 

Comments about anticipated demand, expenses and earnings are forward-looking and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements: changes in global market trends and world events; interest rate and currency movements; changes in capital markets and the resulting impact on returns on the company’s pension plan assets and on certain stock-based incentive plans; fluctuations in demand for cellulose specialties, absorbent materials, timber, and wood products; adverse weather conditions; changes in production costs for wood products and performance fibers, particularly for raw materials such as wood, energy and chemicals; unexpected delays in the closing of land sale transactions; and implementation or revision of

 


 

governmental policies and regulations affecting the environment, import and export controls and taxes. For additional factors that could impact future results, please see the company’s most recent Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
