1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Rayonier" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued, and one subsequent event was identified that warranted recognition or disclosure. On July 20, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend per share from $0.40 per share to $0.44 per share effective for the third quarter 2012 distribution.

(a) Upon maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes (the "Notes"), Rayonier will not issue additional shares for the full difference between the strike price and the market price due to the offsetting exchangeable note hedges (the "hedges"). However, Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges are excluded since they are anti-dilutive. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants if the stock price exceeds the strike prices of $41.59 for the Notes due 2012 and $39.67 for the Notes due 2015. For additional information on the potential dilutive impact of the Senior Exchangeable Notes, warrants and exchangeable note hedges, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 13Debt of this Form 10-Q.
(b) The higher shares used for determining earnings per common share were primarily due to an increase in the average stock

price from $42.77 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $43.74 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and from $41.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $44.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

3.
INCOME TAXES
Rayonier is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). In general, only the taxable REIT subsidiaries, whose businesses include the Company's non-REIT qualified activities, are subject to corporate income taxes. However, the Company is subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis for property held upon REIT election at January 1, 2004) on taxable sales of such property during calendar years 2004 through 2010 and 2012 through 2013. In 2011, the law provided a built-in-gains tax holiday. Accordingly, the provision for corporate income taxes relates principally to current and deferred taxes on taxable REIT subsidiaries' income and certain property sales.
The Company's effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. Effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date were 16.4 percent and 20.8 percent compared to 15.4 percent and 18.7 percent in 2011, respectively. The higher tax rate in 2012 was due to proportionately higher expected earnings from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which was partially offset by the tax credit exchange discussed below.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed two credits for taxpayers that produced and used an alternative fuel in the operation of their business through December 31, 2009. The alternative fuel mixture credit ("AFMC") was a $.50 per gallon refundable, non-taxable excise tax credit, while the cellulosic biofuel producer credit ("CBPC") was a $1.01 per gallon credit that is nonrefundable, taxable and has limitations based on an entity's tax liability. Rayonier produces and uses an alternative fuel ("black liquor") at its Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida Performance Fibers mills, which qualified for both credits. The Company claimed the AFMC on its 2009 tax return.
In the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, management approved the exchange of approximately 60 million gallons and 30 million gallons, respectively, of black liquor previously claimed for the AFMC for the CBPC. In order to complete the exchange, Rayonier is required to pay the IRS interest related to funds received for the AFMC in 2010. The net impact of the exchanges was $5.7 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2012 net benefit is recorded separately as a tax benefit of $9.1 million and interest expense of $3.4 million. There was minimal interest expense in 2011 related to the exchange. For additional information on the AFMC and CBPC, see Note 8 — Income Taxes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

4.
RESTRICTED DEPOSITS
In order to qualify for like-kind exchange ("LKE") treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event that the LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $14.4 million and $0 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

5.
JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT
The Company holds a 26 percent interest in Matariki Forestry Group ("Matariki"), a joint venture ("JV") that owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. In addition to the investment, Rayonier New Zealand Limited ("RNZ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the JV forests and operates a log trading business.
Rayonier’s investment in the JV is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Income from the JV is reported in the Forest Resources segment as operating income since the Company manages the forests, and its JV interest is an extension of the Company’s operations. A portion of Rayonier’s equity method investment is recorded at historical cost which generates a difference between the book value of the Company’s investment and its proportionate share of the JV’s net assets. The difference represents the Company’s unrecognized gain from RNZ’s sale of timberlands to the JV in 2005. The deferred gain is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated number of years the JV expects to harvest the timberlands.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Rayonier operates in four reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate, Performance Fibers and Wood Products. Forest Resources sales include all activities that relate to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use ("HBU"). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by the Company’s real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC. The Performance Fibers segment includes two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. The Wood Products segment is comprised of lumber operations. The Company’s remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are reported in "Other Operations." Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the operating income of the segments.
Operating income (loss) as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair values and categorization under the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cashThe carrying amount is equal to fair market value.
Debt The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities.
Variable Interest Entity
Rayonier holds a variable interest in a bankruptcy-remote, limited liability subsidiary ("special-purpose entity") which was created in 2004 when Rayonier monetized a $25.0 million installment note and letter of credit received in connection with a timberland sale. The Company contributed the note and a letter of credit to the special-purpose entity and using the installment note and letter of credit as collateral, the special-purpose entity issued $22.6 million of 15-year Senior Secured Notes and remitted cash of $22.6 million to the Company. There are no restrictions that relate to the transferred financial assets. Rayonier maintains a $2.6 million interest in the entity and receives immaterial cash payments equal to the excess of interest received on the installment note over the interest paid on the Senior Secured Notes. The Company's interest is recorded at fair value and is included in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company calculated and recorded a de minimus guarantee liability to reflect its obligation of up to $2.6 million under a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed certain obligations of the entity. This guarantee obligation is also collateralized by the letter of credit. The Company's interest in the entity, together with the make-whole agreement, represents the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with the special-purpose entity. Upon maturity of the Senior Secured Notes in 2019 and termination of the special-purpose entity, Rayonier will receive the remaining $2.6 million of cash. The Company determined, based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, that it does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic success. Therefore, Rayonier is not the primary beneficiary and is not required to consolidate the entity.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The fair value of the investment in the special-purpose entity is determined by summing the discounted value of future principal and interest payments that Rayonier will receive from the special-purpose entity. The interest rate of a similar instrument is used

(a)
Approximately $15 million of the standby letters of credit serve as credit support for industrial revenue bonds. The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation and pollution liability policy requirements. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2012 and 2013 and will be renewed as required.
(b)
In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.6 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At June 30, 2012, the Company has a de minimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.
(c)
Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates between 2012 and 2014 and are expected to be renewed as required.

The Company is exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of June 30, 2012, this amount could range up to $29 million, allocable over several of the applicable sites, and arises from uncertainty over the availability, feasibility or effectiveness of certain remediation technologies, additional or different contamination that may be discovered, development of new or more effective environmental remediation technologies and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies.
The Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for probable costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its dispositions and discontinued operations. Remedial actions for these sites vary, but include on-site (and in certain cases off-site) removal or treatment of contaminated soils and sediments, recovery and treatment/remediation of groundwater, and source remediation and/or control.
 
11.
CONTINGENCIES
Rayonier is engaged in various legal actions, including certain environmental proceedings, and has been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These other lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has four qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a significant majority of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans. Currently, all qualified plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change.
The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recognized during the stated periods are shown in the following tables:

13.
DEBT
In March 2012, Rayonier issued $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from these notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company had $430 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2012. The $300 million Senior Exchangeable Notes, which became exchangeable on July 15, 2012 and will remain so through maturity on October 15, 2012, are included in long-term debt due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.
As of March 31, 2012, the $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2012. Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the quarter ending June 30, 2012, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ending June 30, 2012, these notes are not exchangeable in third quarter 2012.
An asset sales covenant in the Rayonier Forest Resources ("RFR") $112.5 million installment note agreement requires the

Company, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sale proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the "excess proceeds") in timberland-related investments or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds. During April 2012, the excess proceeds exceeded the $50 million limit and as a result, repayment of $59.9 million was offered to the note holders through May 15, 2012, at which time they declined and the excess proceeds were reset to zero.    
There were no other significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When we refer to "we," "us," "our," "the Company," or "Rayonier," we mean Rayonier Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to "Notes to Financial Statements" refer to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Rayonier Inc. included in Item 1 of this Report.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors which may affect future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Rayonier's future financial and operational performance, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate" and other similar language. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that are made in this document.
Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward- looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our subsequent Forms 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K and other reports to the SEC.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Segments
We are a leading international forest products company primarily engaged in timberland management, the sale and entitlement of real estate, and the production and sale of high value specialty cellulose fibers and fluff pulp. We operate in four reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate, Performance Fibers, and Wood Products. Forest Resources sales include all activities which relate to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use ("HBU"). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by our real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC. The Performance Fibers segment includes two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. The Wood Products segment is comprised of lumber operations. Our remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are combined and reported in "Other Operations." Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits or losses are eliminated in consolidation.
We evaluate financial performance based on the operating income of the segments. Operating income, as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

In the Atlantic region, sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 benefited from a 15 percent and 11 percent increase in pine stumpage prices from the prior year periods, respectively, reflecting stronger pulpwood demand and the impact of fire salvage on 2011 prices. The impact to sales from the increased stumpage prices was offset by a mix shift from higher-priced log sales in 2011 to stumpage sales in 2012.
The Atlantic region's change in operating income reflects higher pulpwood prices in the 2012 periods and approximately $2 million of forest fires losses in 2011.
In the Gulf States region, sales increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year periods as volumes rose 35 and 31 percent, respectively, mainly due to the integration of 2011 timberland acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by a six percent decline in average prices due to a shift from sawlogs to pulpwood for both 2012 periods. Operating income improved in 2012 primarily due to higher volumes and increased non-timber income.
In the Northern region, second quarter and year-to-date sales and operating income were below the prior year periods due to weaker Asian demand and higher logging costs. Volumes decreased 10 percent and five percent and prices declined five percent and two percent for the second quarter and year-to-date 2012 periods, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
The New Zealand sales represent timberland management fees for services provided to our New Zealand joint venture ("JV")

in which we own 26 percent. The operating income primarily represents equity earnings related to the JV's timber activities, which declined in 2012 primarily due to lower Asian demand.
REAL ESTATE
Our real estate holdings are primarily in the southeastern U.S. We segregate these real estate holdings into three groups: development HBU, rural HBU and non-strategic timberlands. Our strategy is to extract maximum value from our HBU properties. We pursue entitlement activity on development property while maintaining a rural HBU program of sales for conservation, recreation and industrial uses.

Second quarter sales of $12 million was consistent with the prior year period while operating income of $6 million increased $1 million from 2011. Year-to-date, sales were $2 million below 2011 while operating income remained consistent with the prior year period. Although total acres sold were comparable with the prior year periods, margins improved slightly in the second quarter due to geographic property mix.

Cellulose specialties sales improved in 2012 versus the prior year periods as prices increased 12 percent and 13 percent for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, reflecting strong demand. Cellulose specialties volumes increased by two percent and decreased by one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the respective 2011 periods mainly due to the timing of customer orders.
Absorbent materials sales decreased from the prior year periods as prices declined 17 percent for both second quarter and year-to-date 2012, reflecting weaker markets. Volumes were comparable for second quarter 2012 compared to 2011, while year-to-date 2012 volumes were down 10 percent as a shift in customer orders from first quarter to second quarter 2012 was more than offset by minor production issues.

Operating income improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 over the prior year periods as higher cellulose specialties prices more than offset weaker absorbent materials prices and increases in chemical and labor costs.
As previously announced, we have commenced a cellulose specialties expansion ("CSE") project to convert a fiber line at our Jesup, Georgia mill from absorbent materials to cellulose specialties. The CSE is on pace to be completed by mid-2013. Upon completion of the CSE and customer product qualifications, we will be exiting the more commodity-like absorbent materials business and transitioning to producing only cellulose specialties. Over the next twelve months, we do not expect the CSE to have a material impact on our revenues or expenses, as the project will be in the construction phase.
Upon completion of the CSE, we will undergo a phase-in period to complete customer qualifications. After the phase-in period, we anticipate total sales and operating income to increase as we expect higher prices received for our cellulose specialties to more than offset higher input costs and depreciation, and the net 70,000 metric ton reduction in our Performance Fibers production capacity. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, our cellulose specialties average sales price of $1,892 per metric ton was $1,173 higher than our absorbent materials average sales price per metric ton. Due to the uncertainty of the timing surrounding the phase-in period, and the potential for sales prices and raw material costs to change, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the CSE on our operating margins beyond mid-2013 at this time.

Wood Products results improved during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to increased demand as volumes rose 24 percent and 10 percent and prices increased seven percent and 16 percent from the respective prior year periods. The year-to-date 2012 results also benefited from lower wood and production costs.
OTHER OPERATIONS
Sales declined for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 from the prior year periods due to lower export demand from our New Zealand log trading business. Second quarter and year-to-date operating results in 2012 and 2011 were close to break-even, with changes in operating income due to foreign exchange gains and losses.
Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations
Corporate and other expenses for second quarter 2012 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to a $2 million favorable insurance settlement. Year-to-date corporate and other expenses were comparable to the prior year period as higher stock-based compensation expense from our prior CEO's retirement, offset the second quarter insurance settlement.
Interest Expense/Income and Income Tax Expense
Included in the second quarter 2012 and 2011 results were net benefits of $6 million and $4 million, respectively, relating to the exchange of the alternative fuel mixture credit ("AFMC") for the cellulosic biofuel producer credit associated with the production and use of black liquor in 2009. In order to complete the exchange, we are required to pay the IRS interest related to funds received in 2010 for the AFMC. The $6 million net benefit in the 2012 results is recorded separately as a tax benefit of $9 million and interest expense of $3 million. There was minimal interest expense in the 2011 periods related to the exchange.
Excluding the impact of the black liquor exchange discussed above, interest and other for the quarter and year-to-date periods were comparable and $1 million lower, respectively, as higher average outstanding debt in 2012 was more than offset by higher capitalized interest related to the CSE and lower borrowing rates.
The effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date were 16.4 percent and 20.8 percent compared to 15.4 percent and 18.7 percent in 2011, respectively, reflecting proportionately higher expected earnings from our taxable REIT subsidiaries in 2012. Also included in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were tax benefits for the tax credit exchange as discussed above. See Note 3 —  Income Taxes for additional information.
Outlook
In Forest Resources, we will continue capitalizing on local market opportunities in the Southeast, while in the Northwest we will increase harvest volumes as Asian markets improve. In Performance Fibers, we anticipate another record year driven by strong cellulose specialties markets and we are on track to complete our CSE project by mid-2013. We expect full year earnings to be comparable to 2011, excluding special items. We expect full year CAD to range from $295 million to $310 million.
Our full year 2012 financial guidance is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under Item 2 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Forward-Looking Statements of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
Employee Relations
On June 30, 2012, collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 700 hourly employees at our Jesup mill expired. However, all parties have agreed to extend the contracts while negotiations continue. While there can be no assurance, we expect to reach mutually satisfactory agreements with our unions. However, a work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Item 1 — Business in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flows and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund cyclicality in working capital needs and long-term debt has been used to fund major acquisitions and strategic projects.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to higher Performance Fibers operating results. Higher cash taxes in 2012 due to proportionately higher expected income from our taxable REIT subsidiaries was offset by lower cash interest payments due to timing.
Cash Used for Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities rose mainly due to an increase in strategic capital for the Jesup mill CSE. The change in restricted cash from the timing of like-kind exchange transactions and higher capital expenditures in 2012 also contributed to the increase.
Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased mainly due to net borrowings of $167 million in 2012 versus net repayments of $75 million in 2011. This was partially offset by higher dividend payments due to the third quarter 2011 dividend rate increase.
Expected 2012 Expenditures
Capital expenditures in 2012 are forecasted to be between $150 million and $160 million, excluding strategic acquisitions and the CSE. We expect CSE expenditures in 2012 to range between $200 million and $210 million. As previously announced, we increased our quarterly dividend by 10 percent to $0.44 per share effective for the third quarter 2012 distribution, which will raise our quarterly dividend payment to approximately $54 million, compared to $49 million in second quarter 2012. Full year 2012 dividend payments are expected to increase to $ 206 million from $185 million assuming no change in the recently approved dividend rate. We have $300 million in Senior Exchangeable Notes which became exchangeable in July 2012 and will remain so through maturity in October 2012. As the notes are exchanged or mature, we expect to refinance them on a long-term basis.
We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2012 and do not expect to make any discretionary contributions. Cash payments for income taxes in 2012 are anticipated to be between $70 million and $80 million. Expenditures related to dispositions and discontinued operations are forecasted to be approximately $10 million. See Note 10Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations for further information.

Performance and Liquidity Indicators
The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, liquidity, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures of financial results: Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization ("EBITDA"), and Adjusted Cash Available for Distribution ("Adjusted CAD"). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and the discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above. Management considers these measures to be important to estimate the enterprise and shareholder values of the Company as a whole and of its core segments, and for allocating capital resources. In addition, analysts, investors and creditors use these measures when analyzing our operating performance, financial condition and cash generating ability. Management uses EBITDA as a performance measure and Adjusted CAD as a liquidity measure. EBITDA is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted CAD as defined, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We reconcile EBITDA to Net Income for the consolidated Company and Operating Income for the Segments, as those are the nearest GAAP measures for each. Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA for the respective periods (in millions of dollars):

(a) The second quarter 2012 corporate and other results benefited from a favorable insurance settlement, but year-to-date Corporate EBITDA is comparable to 2011 due to the timing of expenses.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, EBITDA was higher than the prior year periods primarily due to higher operating results.

Adjusted CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period which is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company's common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted for capital spending, the change in committed cash, and other items which include cash provided by discontinued operations, proceeds from matured energy forward contracts, excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation and the change in capital expenditures purchased on account. Committed cash represents outstanding checks that have been drawn on our zero balance bank accounts but have not been paid. In compliance with SEC requirements for non-GAAP measures, we reduce CAD by mandatory debt repayments which results in the measure entitled "Adjusted CAD."

(a) Capital expenditures exclude strategic capital. Strategic capital totaled $73 million for the CSE and $9 million for timberland acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Strategic capital totaled $4 million for the CSE and $13 million for timberland acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Adjusted CAD was lower in 2012 as higher operating results were more than offset by mandatory debt repayments and higher capital expenditures. Adjusted CAD generated in any period is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be generated in future periods.

Liquidity Facilities
In March 2012, we issued $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from these notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The Company had $430 million of available borrowings under this facility at June 30, 2012.
As of March 31, 2012, our $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2012. Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ending June 30, 2012, these notes are not exchangeable in third quarter 2012.
In connection with our installment note and credit facility, covenants must be met, including ratios based on the covenant definition of EBITDA and ratios of cash flows to fixed charges. At June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with all of these covenants.
In addition to these financial covenants, the installment note, mortgage note and credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt, the disposition of assets, and the making of certain payments between Rayonier Forest Resources ("RFR") and Rayonier among others. An asset sales covenant in the RFR $112.5 installment note agreement requires us, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sales proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the "excess proceeds") in timberland-related investments and activities or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds. During April 2012, the excess proceeds exceeded the $50 million limit and as a result, repayment of $59.9 million was offered to the note holders through May 15, 2012, at which time they declined and the excess proceeds were reset to zero. The amount of excess proceeds was $0 and $37.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Contractual Financial Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the only significant changes to the Contractual Financial Obligations table as presented in Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, were the issuance of $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022 and the repayment of $150 million on our revolving credit facility. As a result of these changes, interest payments on long-term debt are expected to increase by approximately $101 million through the year 2022. See Note 13Debt for additional information. See Note 9 — Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of June 30, 2012.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market and Other Economic Risks
Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2011. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rayonier management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control exceptions and instances of fraud have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.
In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, based upon the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of SEC Rule 13a-15, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
