Full-year cash provided by operating activities was $310.1 million versus $256.3 million in the prior year. Full-year cash available for distribution (CAD)2 of $240.1 million increased $51.4 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA2 ($47.2 million), lower cash interest paid ($2.9 million) and lower capital expenditures ($3.0 million), partially offset by higher cash taxes paid ($1.7 million).
“We are pleased to conclude our strongest year of financial performance since the spin-off of the performance fibers business in 2014, with all four of our key operating segments generating post-spin highs in full-year Adjusted EBITDA,” said David Nunes, President and CEO. “Fourth quarter results, as anticipated, were relatively modest, as harvest volumes and real estate transaction activity were both heavily front-loaded in the first half of the year. We also elected to defer planned harvest volumes in the fourth quarter due to the impacts of Hurricane Michael in the South and deteriorating market conditions in the Pacific Northwest associated with tariffs on log exports to China. Overall, Southern Timber results increased modestly versus the prior year quarter driven by a 9% increase in harvest volumes, while weighted-average stumpage prices were relatively flat. Pacific Northwest Timber results declined significantly versus the prior year quarter driven by 25% lower harvest volumes and 15% lower delivered sawtimber prices, primarily due to tariffs on log exports to China and the corresponding reduction in export demand. New Zealand Timber results declined modestly versus the prior year quarter, driven primarily by increased port and freight costs and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Real Estate results declined over the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower volumes partially offset by higher average pricing.”
Southern Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $38.7 million increased $6.2 million, or 19%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 9% to 1.33 million tons versus 1.22 million tons in the prior year period, due to low mill inventories and stronger overall demand, partially offset by wet weather conditions, which hindered logging operations. For the full year, harvest volumes were below our initial guidance, as we made the decision to defer approximately 200,000 tons of harvest at the end of 2018 in response to the anticipated market softness associated with Hurricane Michael. Average pine sawtimber stumpage prices decreased 2% to $24.03 per ton versus $24.44 per ton in the prior year period, while average pine pulpwood stumpage prices decreased 2% to $14.82 per ton versus $15.16 per ton in the prior year period. The decreases in average sawtimber and pulpwood prices were driven primarily by geographic mix, as an increased proportion of volume came from lower-priced regions. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) increased 1% to $18.37 per ton versus $18.24 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $7.2 million was equivalent to the prior year period as favorable volume changes ($0.9 million) and higher net stumpage prices ($0.2 million) were offset by higher depletion rates ($0.7 million), lower non-timber income ($0.3 million) and higher timber lease expense ($0.1 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 of $21.2 million was $1.7 million above the prior year period.

1 Rayonier Way, Wildlight, FL 32097 904-357-9100


Pacific Northwest Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $18.4 million decreased $8.0 million, or 30%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 25% to 242,000 tons versus 321,000 tons in the prior year period, as harvest levels were deliberately reduced by 50,000 tons in response to softer market conditions caused by reduced export demand. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 15% to $81.14 per ton versus $95.34 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 7% to $47.36 per ton versus $44.44 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in delivered sawtimber prices was driven by the implementation of tariffs on log exports to China in August as well as concern regarding a potential increase in Chinese tariffs in 2019, which resulted in significantly reduced export demand in the fourth quarter. The increase in delivered pulpwood prices was driven primarily by species mix and a decrease in supply of wood chip residuals from sawmills. Operating loss of $4.1 million versus operating income of $2.4 million in the prior year period was primarily due to lower net stumpage prices ($4.8 million), unfavorable volume changes ($1.5 million), and higher severance taxes, overhead and other costs ($0.5 million), which were partially offset by higher non-timber income ($0.2 million) and lower depletion rates ($0.1 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 of $2.0 million was $8.6 million below the prior year period.
New Zealand Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $60.1 million increased $0.8 million, or 1%, versus the prior year period. Volumes increased 1% to 655,000 tons versus 649,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber decreased 1% to $114.89 per ton versus $115.77 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber decreased 4% to $79.54 per ton versus $83.02 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to the global impacts of the U.S. / China trade tensions and the corresponding depreciation of the Chinese Yuan (CNY) versus the U.S. dollar. The decrease in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.66 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.70 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 1% from the prior year period. Operating income of $12.6 million decreased $3.5 million versus the prior year period as a result of lower net stumpage prices ($3.2 million), unfavorable foreign exchange impacts ($1.3 million), and higher road maintenance costs ($0.5 million), which were partially offset by higher volumes ($0.2 million) and higher non-timber income ($1.3 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 of $19.3 million was $3.7 million below the prior year period.
Real Estate
Fourth quarter sales of $16.5 million decreased $69.4 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $4.6 million decreased $54.2 million versus the prior year period. The prior year fourth quarter sales and operating income included $53.4 million and $38.8 million, respectively, from a Large Disposition.1 Excluding this item, pro forma sales2 of $16.5 million decreased $16.0 million versus the prior year period due to a lower number of acres sold (2,249 acres sold versus 7,475 acres sold in the prior year period), partially offset by an increase in weighted-average prices ($7,406 per acre versus $4,378 per acre in the prior year period).
Improved Development sales of $4.5 million in the Wildlight development project included 27.9 acres of commercial property for $3.6 million ($129,432 per acre) and 20 residential lots for $0.9 million ($46,730 per lot or $329,081 per acre).
Rural sales of $11.7 million were comprised of 2,102 acres at an average price of $5,575 per acre. This compares to prior year period sales of $3.3 million, comprised of 1,204 acres at an average price of $2,721 per acre.
Non-strategic / Timberland sales of $0.2 million were comprised of 116 acres at an average price of $3,381 per acre, partially offset by a $0.2 million post-closing harvest adjustment to the prior quarter New Zealand land sale. This compares to prior year period sales of $23.0 million, comprised of 6,249 acres at an average price of $3,686 per acre.

1 Rayonier Way, Wildlight, FL 32097 904-357-9100


Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 of $12.4 million was $15.8 million below the prior year period.
Trading
Fourth quarter sales of $32.4 million decreased $3.2 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes. Sales volumes decreased 10% to 292,000 tons versus 326,000 tons in the prior year period. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $0.3 million decreased $0.9 million versus the prior year period.
Other Items
Fourth quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $5.6 million were equivalent to the prior year period as a reduction in overhead costs allocated to operating segments ($0.5 million) was offset by lower compensation and general corporate expenses ($0.5 million).
Fourth quarter interest expense of $8.1 million decreased $0.4 million versus the prior year period due to lower average debt outstanding.
Fourth quarter income tax expense of $2.8 million decreased $2.1 million versus the prior year period. The New Zealand subsidiary is the primary driver of income tax expense.
Outlook
“In 2019, we expect to achieve net income attributable to Rayonier of $60 to $69 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $270 to $290 million,” added Nunes. “The projected year-over-year decline in consolidated financial results is driven primarily by a much lower expected contribution from the Real Estate segment following an extraordinarily strong level of Real Estate activity in 2018, which was bolstered by two significant transactions in Louisiana and New Zealand. In our timber segments, we expect total Adjusted EBITDA to be slightly lower, with gains in Southern Timber offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA in Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber. In our Southern Timber segment, we expect to achieve full-year harvest volumes of 6.2 to 6.3 million tons, while we expect modest pricing improvements in certain regions driven by stronger overall demand. In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 1.3 to 1.4 million tons, while we expect meaningfully lower average sawtimber prices driven by reduced export demand and market uncertainty regarding China tariffs. In our New Zealand Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 2.7 to 2.8 million tons, while we expect continued strong demand and pricing as Chinese customers seek supply from non-tariff countries, which we expect will be offset by increased shipping and logging costs. In our Real Estate segment, we remain focused on opportunistically unlocking the long-term value of our HBU development and rural property portfolio, and thus continue to expect that period-to-period results will be lumpy. Following outsized Real Estate results in 2018, we currently anticipate more normalized transaction activity in 2019.”

(a)
Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown and therefore changes in restricted cash are no longer reported as investing activities. Prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period presentation.

(a)
Capital expenditures exclude timberland acquisitions of $57.6 million and $242.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as well as spending on the Rayonier office building of $6.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
(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 common stock dividends, distributions to the New Zealand minority shareholder, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction, strategic acquisitions and real estate development investments. 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 and the shareholder derivative demands. 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)
“Large Dispositions” are defined as transactions involving the sale of timberland that exceed $20 million in size and do not have a demonstrable premium relative to timberland value. In 2017, the Company completed two dispositions of approximately 50,000 acres in total for a sales price and gain of approximately $95.4 million and $67.0 million, respectively.
(e)
Cash interest paid is presented net of patronage refunds received of $4.1 million and $3.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
(f)
Pro forma revenues (sales) is defined as revenues (sales) 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.
(g)
Pro forma net income is defined as net income attributable to Rayonier Inc. adjusted for costs related to shareholder litigation 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.
(h)
Pro forma operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) adjusted for costs related to shareholder litigation 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.
(i)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, non-operating income and expense, costs related to shareholder litigation 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.
