Rayonier Reports Strong First Quarter 2004 Results
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., APRIL 28, 2004 Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported first quarter net income of $75.5 million, or $1.49 per share, compared to $2.0 million, or 4 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2003 and $8.2 million, or 20 cents per share, in first quarter 2003.
First quarter 2004 results included a net tax benefit of 98 cents per share relating to the companys January 1 conversion to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Excluding the tax benefit, net income was $25.9 million, or 51 cents per share. First quarter 2004 and fourth quarter 2003 results were impacted by 7 cents and 3 cents per share, respectively, for REIT conversion costs.
Lee Nutter, Chairman, President and CEO said: As expected, first quarter results improved significantly from the fourth quarter due to strong performance in our two core segments, Timber and Land, and Performance Fibers, as well as the tax benefits inherent in our REIT structure. Our continued strong cash flow supports the recent decision to increase our dividend 150 percent to approximately $111 million annually, or $2.24 per share. In addition, it enabled us to end the quarter with $63 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $82 million from $35 million in the fourth quarter and $39 million in first quarter 2003 primarily due to higher earnings and lower working capital requirements. Cash Available for Distribution was $63 million, an increase of $57 million and $39 million from fourth and first quarter 2003, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $88 million, an increase of $42 million and $23 million from fourth and first quarter 2003, respectively. (Cash Available for Distribution and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures defined and reconciled to GAAP in the attached exhibits.)
First quarter earnings were significantly above fourth quarter primarily due to higher land sales, stronger U.S. timber volumes and prices, improved cellulose specialties prices and lower performance fibers manufacturing costs. Results were above first quarter 2003 mainly due to stronger land sales, higher U.S. timber prices and volume, and improved pricing for performance fibers and lumber.
Sales of $294 million were $22 million above fourth quarter and $28 million above first quarter 2003.
Debt at quarter-end of $618 million was flat to fourth quarter and $9 million below first quarter 2003. The debt-to-capital ratio of 44.6 percent improved from 46.5 percent and 47 percent at year-end and first quarter 2003, respectively, due to the positive impact on shareholders equity of the aforementioned net tax benefit.
Timber and Land
Sales of $85 million and operating income of $47 million were $38 million and $25 million above fourth quarter, and $24 million and $21 million better than first quarter 2003, respectively, due to strong land sales and improved U.S. timber volume and prices. A portion of the timber volume increase was attributable to fourth quarter Northwest timber sales offerings being deferred into 2004 to take advantage of our REIT status.
Performance Fibers
Sales of $133 million were $9 million below fourth quarter primarily due to typically lower first quarter cellulose specialties volume partially offset by higher cellulose specialties prices and absorbent materials volume. Operating income of $6 million was a $12 million improvement over fourth quarter due to reduced manufacturing costs and higher cellulose specialties prices partly offset by lower cellulose specialties volume. Compared to first quarter 2003, sales and operating income increased by $4 million and $7 million, respectively. Sales improved due to higher prices and stronger cellulose specialties volume partly offset by lower absorbent materials volume. Operating income increased due to improved prices and product mix, partly offset by higher manufacturing costs.
Manufacturing costs declined from fourth quarter largely due to reduced hardwood costs and improved operational performance, but remained above first quarter 2003.
Wood Products
Sales of $38 million and operating income of $1 million were $4 million and $2 million below fourth quarter, respectively. Sales declined primarily due to lower volumes while operating income was also adversely impacted by higher manufacturing costs. Compared to first quarter 2003, sales and operating income improved $8 million and $3 million, respectively, due to higher prices and stronger lumber volume, partly offset by higher MDF manufacturing costs on a U.S. dollar basis.
Other Operations
Sales of $39 million declined $3 million and $8 million, while operating income of $2 million improved $1 million and $2 million compared to fourth quarter and first quarter 2003, respectively, as lower trading activity was more than offset by higher margins.
Other Items
Corporate expenses of $13.2 million were $2.3 million above fourth quarter primarily due to higher REIT conversion costs partly offset by lower stock price-based incentive compensation expense. Compared to first quarter 2003, corporate expenses increased $8.2 million primarily due to the REIT conversion and higher legal costs.
Interest expense of $11.1 million was $0.7 million and $1.3 million below fourth quarter and first quarter 2003, respectively, due to reduced debt and lower rates.
The companys tax provision included a net tax benefit of $49.7 million, or 98 cents per share, resulting from the reversal of timber-related deferred tax liabilities of $77.9 million, or $1.53 per share, no longer required as a result of our REIT conversion, and a provision of $28.2 million, or 55 cents per share, for the eventual repatriation of foreign earnings due to the companys post-REIT strategy of focusing its new timberland investments in the U.S. Excluding these items, first quarter 2004 reflected an effective tax rate of 19.4 percent. This was below the U.S. statutory rate, primarily due to tax benefits associated with our REIT structure, partially offset by approximately $9.4 million in interest and corporate administrative expenses associated with REIT activities that no longer carry a tax benefit. Fourth quarter included a tax benefit of $3.6 million related to the settlement of an inter-company loan and first quarter 2003 reflected a one-time tax benefit of $2.3 million resulting from an interim tax audit settlement.
Outlook
Second quarter 2004 earnings are expected to be above first quarter (excluding the 98 cents per share net tax benefit) primarily due to higher land sales, lower REIT conversion costs and slightly stronger performance fibers volumes and prices. Timber volume will most likely be lower as the deferred 2003 Northwest volume diminishes. Depending on the timing of closing contracted land sales, earnings per share should be reasonably close to last years strong second quarter on a pro-forma (post E&P dividend) basis, notwithstanding a large land sale (51 cents per share) in that quarter.
Nutter said, We are experiencing improved market conditions in all of our product lines and continued strong cash flow. In particular, demand remains very strong for our higher-and-better use properties while Performance Fibers continues its turnaround as prices, volumes and costs improve. We are also well positioned to actively pursue timberland acquisition opportunities.
Rayonier has more than 2 million acres of timber and land in the U.S. and New Zealand and is the worlds premier supplier of high performance specialty cellulose fibers. Approximately 40 percent of the companys sales are outside the U.S. to customers in more than 50 countries.
Reported results are preliminary and not final until filing of the first quarter 2004 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Comments about anticipated demand, pricing, volumes, expenses, earnings and dividends 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; fluctuations in demand for cellulose specialties, absorbent materials, timber, wood products or real estate; adverse weather conditions; changes in production costs for wood products or performance fibers, particularly for raw materials such as wood, energy and chemicals; unexpected delays in the closing of land sale transactions; the Companys ability to satisfy complex rules in order to qualify as a REIT; and implementation or revision of governmental policies and regulations affecting the environment, import and export controls or taxes, including changes in tax laws that could reduce the benefits associated with REIT status. For additional factors that could impact future results, please see the companys most recent Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A conference call will be held on Thursday, April 29 at 4:15 p.m. EDT to discuss these results. Interested parties are invited to listen to the live webcast by logging onto www.rayonier.com and following the link. Supplemental materials will be available at the website. A replay will be available on the site shortly after the call where it will be archived for one month. Also, investors may access the listen only conference call by dialing 913-981-5584.
