(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 exercise 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 $41.50 for the Notes due 2012 and $39.58 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 number of shares in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $40.93 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $48.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and from $41.14 for the nine months

ended September 30, 2011 to $45.65 for the nine months ended September 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.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company received a final examination report from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding Rayonier TRS Holdings Inc. ("TRS") 2009 tax return. As a result, the Company reversed the uncertain tax liability recorded in 2009 relating to the taxability of the alternative fuel mixture credit and recognized a $16 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2011.
Alternative Fuel Mixture Credit ("AFMC") and Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit ("CBPC")
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 AFMC is a $.50 per gallon refundable, non-taxable excise tax credit, while the CBPC is 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 third quarters of 2012 and 2011, management approved the exchange of approximately 22 million gallons and 11 million gallons, respectively, of black liquor previously claimed for the AFMC for the CBPC. The total number of exchange gallons approved year-to-date were 82 million and 41 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The third quarter impact of the exchange was $2.6 million and $2.0 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The year-to-date impact was $11.7 million and $6.1 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. 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.
During the second quarter 2012, Rayonier recognized $3.4 million of interest expense related to the exchange; however, in August, the IRS released guidance stating interest payments are not required for AFMC funds exchanged for the CBPC, based upon the manner of the Company's original claim. As a result, in the third quarter Rayonier reversed the $3.4 million of interest expense previously recorded.
Effective Tax Rate
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. The Company's effective tax rates in 2012 were higher than 2011. The change was primarily due to tax benefits received in 2011, including the reversal of the reserve related to the taxability of the AFMC and a $9.3 million benefit associated with the structuring of a transfer of higher and better use properties to the taxable REIT subsidiary from the REIT.

RESTRICTED DEPOSITS
In order to qualify for like-kind exchange ("LKE") treatment, the proceeds from certain real estate sales must be deposited with a qualified third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $12.8 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 September 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 $2.3 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 $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At September 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 September 30, 2012, the estimate of 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 could 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:

DEBT
In March 2012, Rayonier Inc. 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 $431 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012.
As of September 30, 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 December 31, 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. Of the $172.5 million principal, $131.2 million remained classified as long-term debt due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance it on a long-term basis.
An asset sales covenant in the Rayonier Forest Resources, L.P. ("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.
Subsequent Events
In October 2012, the Company negotiated amendments to the existing revolving credit facility. The amended and restated facility provides for improved pricing, with the borrowing rate decreasing from LIBOR plus 105 basis points to LIBOR plus 97.5 basis points. The facility fee decreased 5 points from 20 basis points to 15 basis points. The revised agreement also provides additional borrowing capacity through revision of the leverage ratio to permit debt of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries up to 65 percent of consolidated net worth, plus the amount of consolidated debt. Previously, debt was limited to four times EBITDA. In addition, the Company can now transfer assets to any subsidiary, and any subsidiary can now transfer assets to other subsidiaries or to the Company. An additional covenant was added to limit debt at subsidiaries (excluding Rayonier Operating Company LLC and TRS, which are borrowers under the agreement) to 15 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Also, the amended and restated credit agreement removed RFR as a borrower, but also eliminated specific negative covenants relating to RFR under this facility. The agreement also eliminated all requirements for subsidiary guarantors, other than cross-guarantees of the borrowers. As a result, these guarantors were also released from the 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by Rayonier Inc., leaving TRS and Rayonier Operating Company LLC as the remaining guarantors.
The 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the "Notes") matured in October 2012 and the outstanding principal balance of $300 million was paid in cash, financed through borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility. The exchangeable note hedges also matured and the associated shares were used to pay the excess exchange value of 2,221,056 shares of Rayonier stock. As a result, there was no impact on the number of shares outstanding. The available borrowing capacity under the credit facility immediately after repayment of the Notes was $131 million. The Company expects to refinance this $300 million borrowing on a long-term basis prior to year-end.
Warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes and hedges remain outstanding and have maturity dates in first quarter 2013. The Company expects to settle the warrants in shares. For information regarding the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the warrants, refer to Note 2 — Earnings per Share.
See Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Notes, hedges and warrants.

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 2012 periods were below 2011, primarily due to lower volumes, as 2011 included fire salvage timber. The 2012 quarter and year-to-date volumes returned to normalized levels declining 20 percent and six percent from the 2011 periods. Pine stumpage prices for the three and nine months ended September 2012 rose 19 percent and 14 percent over the prior year periods, respectively, as 2011 prices were also impacted by the fire salvage timber.
The Atlantic region's operating results improved as the higher sales prices more than offset the decline in volumes. The 2011 year-to-date results also reflected approximately $2 million of forest fire losses.
In the Gulf States region, sales increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior year periods as volumes rose 69 percent and 43 percent, respectively, mainly due to the integration of 2011 timberland acquisitions. The year-to-date increase was partially offset by a five percent decline in average prices due to a geographic mix shift. Operating income improved in 2012 primarily due to higher volumes. The 2012 year-to-date results also benefited from higher non-timber income.
In the Northern region, sales increased in third quarter 2012 over the prior year period reflecting a 29 percent increase in volumes due to timing as 2011 harvests were weighted towards the first half of the year. Third quarter and year-to-date sales and operating income were negatively impacted by weaker Asian demand as prices declined 16 percent and seven percent, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Year-to-date 2012 results also reflect higher logging and transportation costs.

The New Zealand sales represent timberland management fees for services provided to our New Zealand joint venture ("JV") in which we own a 26 percent interest. The operating income primarily represents equity earnings related to the JV's timber activities, which declined in 2012 primarily due to lower carbon credit sales.
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.

As expected, 2012 operating results declined primarily due to a third quarter 2011 non-strategic sale of 6,300 acres at $3,995 per acre. This decline was slightly offset by an increase in rural prices due to geographic sales mix. Third quarter and year-to-date 2011 results also benefited from a $6 million property tax settlement covering 2005 through 2010.

Cellulose specialties sales improved in 2012 versus the prior year periods as prices increased 15 percent and 14 percent for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, reflecting strong demand. Cellulose specialties volumes increased by three percent and one percent compared to the respective 2011 periods mainly due to the timing of customer orders and a shift in production from absorbent materials.
Absorbent materials sales decreased from the prior year periods as prices declined 14 percent and 16 percent for third quarter and year-to-date 2012, respectively, due to weaker markets. Volumes declined seven percent for the nine months ended 2012 due to a production shift to cellulose specialties and minor production issues.

Operating income improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 over the prior year periods as higher cellulose specialties prices more than offset weaker absorbent materials prices and increases in production costs, primarily wood and benefit 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 expected 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 transitioning from the construction phase to the initial start-up and customer qualification phases.
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 expected cost increases of 11 percent to 13 percent and the net 70,000 metric ton reduction in our Performance Fibers production capacity. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our cellulose specialties average sales price of $1,885 per metric ton was $1,161 above our absorbent materials average sales price per metric ton. We expect our costs to increase after the CSE phase-in due to higher conversion costs and depreciation.

Wood Products results improved during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to increased demand which caused prices to increase 21 percent and 14 percent and volumes to increase 14 percent and 15 percent from the respective prior year periods. The 2012 results also include a $1 million loss related to a fire at the Swainsboro mill.
OTHER OPERATIONS
Sales declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the prior year period due to lower export demand from our New Zealand log trading business. Third quarter and year-to-date operating results in 2012 and 2011 were close to break-even, with changes in operating income primarily due to foreign exchange gains and losses.
Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations
Corporate and other expenses for third quarter 2012 increased $3 million from the prior year period primarily due to a $2 million favorable insurance settlement received in 2011. Year-to-date corporate and other expenses were $4 million above the prior year period due to higher stock-based compensation and pension costs.
Interest Expense, Interest Income and Other
Interest and other expenses for the third quarter were $5 million lower than the prior year period mainly due to the reversal of a tax related interest accrual. Year-to-date interest and other expenses were $1 million below 2011 as lower costs of borrowing more than offset higher average debt balances.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date were 23.4 percent and 21.9 percent compared to a 9.0 percent benefit and a 7.5 percent expense in 2011, respectively. The change in rates was primarily due to tax benefits received in 2011, including the reversal of the reserve related to the taxability of the AFMC and a $9.3 million benefit associated with the structuring of a transfer of higher and better use properties to a taxable REIT subsidiary from the REIT. Also, proportionately higher expected earnings from our taxable REIT subsidiaries increased the 2012 effective rates. See Note 3 —  Income Taxes for additional information.
Outlook
In Forest Resources, we will continue to capitalize on local market opportunities in the Southeast. In Performance Fibers, we anticipate another record year driven by strong cellulose specialties markets and we remain on track to complete our CSE project by mid-2013. Overall, we expect operating income to increase 10 percent to 12 percent over 2011. However, due to non-routine tax benefits received in 2011, we still expect full year earnings to be comparable to 2011, excluding special items. We anticipate 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. On October 12, 2012, an initial vote on the proposed contract was taken and the proposal was rejected by the unions. 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 also 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 operating results in 2012 and lower working capital requirements. Partially offsetting this increase were higher cash tax payments due to higher expected income from our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
Cash Used for Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities rose mainly due to strategic investments in the CSE and higher capital expenditures. The change in restricted cash from the timing of like-kind exchange transactions also contributed to the increase.
Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased mainly due to net borrowings of $156 million in 2012 as well as higher proceeds from option exercises. This was partially offset by higher dividend payments due to higher dividend rates in 2012.
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 approximate $200 million. Our 2012 dividend payments are expected to increase to $207 million from $185 million assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.44 per share. In October 2012, we repaid $300 million in Senior Exchangeable Notes, financed through borrowing on our revolving credit facility. We expect to refinance this $300 million borrowing on a long-term basis in fourth quarter 2012.
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 $9 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):

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."
Below is a reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted CAD (in millions of dollars):

(a) Capital expenditures exclude strategic capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, strategic capital totaled $131 million for the CSE and $12 million for timberland acquisitions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, strategic capital totaled $94 million for timberland acquisitions and $15 million for the CSE.
Adjusted CAD declined slightly as higher operating earnings and lower working capital requirements were more than offset by higher capital expenditures, mandatory debt repayments and increased tax payments. 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 $431 million of available borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2012. During October 2012, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to take advantage of better pricing and change the debt ceiling calculation, in addition to other revisions discussed at Note 13 — Debt.
As of September 30, 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 December 31, 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. If the note holders exercise their option prior to December 31, 2012, the Company intends to repay the principal of the notes with cash on hand or by accessing the revolving credit facility and any excess exchange value will be settled at the option of the Company in either cash or stock of Rayonier.
The 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the "Notes") matured in October 2012 and the outstanding principal balance of $300 million was paid in cash, financed through borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility. The available borrowing capacity under the credit facility immediately after repayment of the Notes was $131 million. The exchangeable note hedges also matured and the associated shares were used to pay the excess exchange value of 2,221,056 shares of Rayonier stock. As a result, there was no impact on the number of shares outstanding. Warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes and hedges remain outstanding and have maturity dates in first quarter 2013. The Company expects to settle the warrants in shares.
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 September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. See Note 13Debt for information on favorable covenant revisions under the amended revolving credit facility.
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, L.P. ("RFR") and Rayonier among others. An asset sales covenant in the RFR $112.5 million 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Contractual Financial Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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 a net increase 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 $120 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 September 30, 2012.

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 September 30, 2012.
In the quarter ended September 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.
