Q&A highlights

Q: On pricing front, is improvement in lumber and OSB due to curtailments or underlying demand pickup?

A: Primarily supply side-driven, with some pickup in demand as spring building season approaches but currently largely supply side.

Q: Constraints stopping meaningful production response in Southern lumber?

A: Industry has been restrained in running overtime/shifts, but there's flex in system.

Q: Approach to A&D decisions in timberland portfolio?

A: Expect normal level of activity, plenty of capital pursuing transactions, real estate team capitalizing on high-value transactions.

Q: Other conservation easement opportunities?

A: Dedicated team evaluates opportunities, the Florida transaction was unique but future opportunities may exist.

Q: Operating rates in lumber and OSB?

A: Lumber in Q4 mid-70% operating rate, OSB mid-90% range.

Q: Why EWP pricing not showing pickup yet?

A: Driven by single-family housing which has been down for 4 years, but EWP has broad end-use opportunities.

Q: Thoughts on Potlatch and Rayonier closing?

A: No meaningful impact on Weyerhaeuser as they competed individually before.

Q: Leverage comfort level?

A: Leverage tracked higher, but balance sheet strong with debt reduction and portfolio optimization.

A: Open to any that drives long-term shareholder value.

Q: Upside in Western sawlog markets?
