Full-year cash provided by operating activities was $203.8 million versus $177.2 million in the prior year. Full-year cash available for distribution (CAD)3 was $144.3 million versus $117.4 million in the prior year. Full-year CAD increased $26.9 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA3($31.7 million), partially offset by higher cash interest paid ($3.2 million), higher cash taxes paid ($0.2 million) and increased capital expenditures ($1.4 million).
“We are pleased with our fourth quarter results as favorable Pacific Northwest and New Zealand Timber results more than offset the impact of lower harvest volumes in Southern Timber and reduced land sales in Real Estate,” said David Nunes, President and CEO. “Southern Timber volumes decreased 9% relative to the prior year quarter as we exercised our discretion to defer harvest volume in response to weaker market conditions. Average stumpage prices in Southern Timber decreased 6% versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to geographic mix and continued supply impacts from extended dry weather conditions. In Pacific Northwest Timber, harvest volumes increased 13% and average prices increased 9% relative to the prior year quarter, largely driven by strong results from our newly-acquired Menasha properties. New Zealand Timber results were well above the prior year quarter, as continued strong export and domestic demand drove significantly higher pricing. Real Estate results, excluding the gain on the previously-announced Large Disposition,1 were below the prior year quarter due to the sale of fewer Non-strategic / Timberland acres, partially offset by a timberland sale in Washington for roughly $6,500 per acre.”
Southern Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $30.6 million decreased $5.5 million, or 15%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 9% to 1.29 million tons versus 1.41 million tons in the prior year period, as harvest levels were deliberately reduced in response to softer market conditions. Average sawtimber stumpage prices were relatively flat at $26.75 per ton versus $26.76 per ton in the prior year period, while average pulpwood stumpage prices decreased 13% to $15.83 per ton versus $18.24 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average pulpwood prices was largely due to geographic mix as well as increased supply caused by extended dry weather along the east coast. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) decreased 6% to $19.06 per ton versus $20.36 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $8.1 million decreased $3.9 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes ($1.2 million), lower weighted-average stumpage prices ($1.7 million), higher depletion rates ($1.0 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.4 million), which were partially offset by lower software and road maintenance costs ($0.4 million).

225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202 904-357-9100


Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA3 of $20.8 million was $4.1 million below the prior year period.
Pacific Northwest Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $22.9 million increased $4.2 million, or 22%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 13% to 356,000 tons versus 315,000 tons in the prior year period due to additional volume from our recent Menasha acquisition, partially offset by planned harvest deferrals in the fourth quarter from our legacy Washington properties. Average delivered sawtimber prices increased 13% to $74.97 per ton versus $66.27 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices decreased 12% to $39.62 per ton versus $44.93 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber prices was due to an overall strengthening of export and domestic sawtimber markets, combined with additional volume from our newly-acquired Menasha properties, which generally command a higher sawtimber price than our legacy Washington properties. The decrease in pulpwood prices was primarily due to the increased availability of wood chips in certain market areas. Operating loss of $3.1 million versus $0.4 million in the prior year period was primarily due to higher depletion rates resulting from the Menasha acquisition ($5.9 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.5 million), which were partially offset by higher prices ($2.3 million), higher volumes ($0.3 million) and lower overhead and severance taxes ($1.1 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA3 of $7.2 million was $3.7 million above the prior year period.
New Zealand Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $46.6 million increased $6.5 million, or 16%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 1% to 562,000 tons versus 568,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 19% to $104.26 per ton versus $87.35 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 30% to $77.41 per ton versus $59.71 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to stronger demand from China. The increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by strong domestic demand for construction materials and the rise in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.72 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.66 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 18% from the prior year period. Operating income of $11.7 million increased $12.8 million versus the prior year period due to higher prices ($7.5 million), lower overhead and forest management expenses ($0.3 million), favorable changes in foreign exchange impacts ($1.4 million) and higher non-timber and other income ($3.7 million), which were partially offset by changes in volume/mix ($0.1 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA3 of $17.9 million was $11.0 million above the prior year period.
Real Estate
Fourth quarter sales of $88.1 million increased $67.6 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $49.4 million increased $39.1 million versus the prior year period. The fourth quarter sales and operating income included $77.7 million and $42.6 million, respectively, from Large Dispositions.1 Excluding Large Dispositions,1 pro forma sales and operating income decreased in the fourth quarter due to reduced land sales (1,489 acres sold versus 9,193 acres sold in the prior year period), which were partially offset by a significant increase in weighted-average prices ($6,929 per acre versus $2,233 per acre in the prior year period) and the receipt of a $4.7 million deferred payment with respect to a prior land sale.
Unimproved Development sales of $3.3 million were comprised of an 84-acre tract in St. John’s County, Florida for $39,385 per acre.
Rural sales of $1.5 million were comprised of 504 acres at an average price of $2,749 per acre.
Non-strategic / Timberland sales of $5.6 million were comprised of 901 acres at an average price of $6,228 per acre, including a sale of 816 acres in Washington for $6,495 per acre.
Large Dispositions1 of $77.7 million were comprised of the previously announced disposition of 37,000 acres in Alabama and Mississippi at an average price of $2,094 per acre.
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA3 of $10.6 million was $5.6 million below the prior year period.

225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202 904-357-9100


Trading
Fourth quarter sales of $32.3 million increased $10.6 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes and prices. Sales volumes increased 30% to 321,000 tons versus 247,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices increased 14% to $100.41 per ton versus $87.97 per ton in the prior year period. The increases in both volumes and prices were primarily due to stronger demand from China. Operating income of $0.5 million decreased $0.1 million versus the prior year period.
Other Items
Fourth quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $5.1 million decreased $0.6 million versus the prior year period due to lower costs related to shareholder litigation2 ($1.0 million), which were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses ($0.2 million) and other minor variances ($0.2 million).
Fourth quarter interest expense of $8.6 million increased $1.5 million versus the prior year period due to higher outstanding debt, partially offset by lower average rates.
Fourth quarter income tax expense of $2.8 million was principally related to the New Zealand JV.
Outlook
“In 2017, we expect to achieve net income attributable to Rayonier of $66 to $72 million, pro forma net income of $39 to $45 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $220 to $240 million,” added Nunes. “In our Southern Timber segment, we expect harvest volumes to be slightly down compared to 2016 as we continue to flex regional harvest volumes based on end market conditions. We continue to see near-term headwinds in product pricing in certain markets due to ample mill log inventories, relatively modest near-term growth in new housing construction, and high levels of Canadian lumber imports. However, we’re optimistic that pricing will improve over the longer-term as we see incremental growth in housing starts and a potential return to some form of managed lumber trade. In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect a modest increase in harvest volumes with a full-year contribution from the Menasha acquisition as well as a modest improvement in sawtimber prices due to increased regional manufacturing capacity. In our New Zealand Timber segment, we expect a modest increase in volume and continued strong pricing dynamics driven by solid demand in both domestic and export markets. In our Real Estate segment, we remain highly focused on unlocking the long-term value of our HBU development and rural property portfolio. We continue to be encouraged by the market interest in our Wildlight development project north of Jacksonville, Florida, and we expect to realize our first sales from this project in 2017.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - To supplement Rayonier’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Rayonier uses certain non-GAAP measures, including “cash available for distribution,” “pro forma sales,” “pro forma operating income,” “pro forma net income,” and “Adjusted EBITDA,” which are defined and further explained in this communication. Reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measures can also be found in this communication. Rayonier’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a)
Capital expenditures exclude timberland acquisitions of $366.5 million and $98.4 million and spending on the Rayonier office building of $6.3 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
(b)
Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to measure cash generated during a period that is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. CAD is defined as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding timberland acquisitions and spending on the Rayonier office building) and working capital and other balance sheet changes. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.
(c)
“Costs related to shareholder litigation” include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 10—Contingencies of Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(d)
The Company used foreign exchange derivatives to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates while awaiting the capital contribution to the New Zealand JV.
(e)
“Large Dispositions” are defined as transactions involving the sale of timberland that exceed $20 million in size and do not have any identified HBU premium relative to timberland value. Large Dispositions in 2016 included $143.9 million of gain, $36.1 million of depletion and $22.2 million non-cash cost of land sold.
(f)
Cash interest paid is presented net of patronage refunds received of $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

(a)
Pro forma sales is defined as revenue adjusted for Large Dispositions. Rayonier believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate our core business operations because it excludes specific items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results.
(b)
“Large Dispositions” are defined as transactions involving the sale of timberland that exceed $20 million in size and do not have any identified HBU premium relative to timberland value. On April 28, 2016, the Company completed a disposition of approximately 55,000 acres located in Washington for a sales price and gain of approximately $129.5 million and $101.3 million, respectively. On October 21, 2016, the Company completed a second disposition of approximately 37,000 acres located in Mississippi and Alabama for a sales price and gain of approximately $77.7 million and $42.6 million, respectively.
(c)
Pro forma net income is defined as net income attributable to Rayonier Inc. adjusted for costs related to shareholder litigation, the gain on foreign currency derivatives, Large Dispositions and expense related to the write-off of capitalized financing costs. Rayonier believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate our core business operations because it excludes specific items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results.
(d)
“Costs related to shareholder litigation” includes expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 10—Contingencies of Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(e)
The company used foreign exchange derivatives to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates while awaiting the capital contribution to the New Zealand JV.
(f)
Pro forma operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for costs related to shareholder litigation, the gain on foreign currency derivatives and Large Dispositions. Rayonier believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate our core business operations because it excludes specific items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results.
(g)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, costs related to shareholder litigation, the gain on foreign currency derivatives and Large Dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to make strategic decisions about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis.
