Forward guidance
Weyerhaeuser anticipates first quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly higher than the fourth quarter.
Tailwinds
- In the West, the company expects significantly higher domestic sales realizations and fee harvest volumes, moderately higher export sales realizations, and seasonally lower forestry and road costs.
- Engineered wood products sales volumes are expected to be higher with comparable sales realizations.
- For lumber, the company expects moderately higher log costs and slightly lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved unit manufacturing costs.
- The company expects modestly higher sales volumes for oriented strand board, partially offset by moderately higher fiber costs.
- In the South, the company expects comparable sales realizations and seasonally lower forestry and road costs.
Headwinds
- Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the third quarter due to lower real estate sales.
- Sales volumes were significantly lower than the third quarter for lumber and slightly lower for oriented strand board, largely due to weather-related transportation challenges in Canada.
- Fourth quarter results include an adjustment to our self-insurance accruals, primarily due to elevated medical claims activity.
- Sales realizations for lumber increased by 15 percent compared with the third quarter average, which was more than offset by a 29 percent decrease for oriented strand board.
- In the South, the company expects slightly higher per unit log and haul costs and slightly lower fee harvest volumes.
