Previous wording
On October 14, 2025, a 10% ad valorem duty on softwood timber and lumber imports became effective under Executive Order 14223 and the resulting Section 232 proclamation. This duty, together with higher Canadian lumber duties that took effect in 2025 under the sixth administrative review of the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on softwood lumber from Canada, and a weaker U.S. dollar, has supported domestic lumber prices and incentivized domestic wood products production. In April 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued preliminary results of the seventh administrative review (“AR7”) indicating lower combined Canadian duties, with final determinations expected in the second half of 2026; however, AR7 duties would remain elevated relative to historical levels, and the Section 232 duty would continue to apply. A final determination materially below current cash deposit rates could adversely impact domestic lumber prices, wood products production, and log demand and pricing.

This duty, together with higher Canadian lumber duties that took effect in 2025 under the sixth administrative review of the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on softwood lumber from Canada, and reduced overall North American lumber capacity, has supported domestic lumber prices and incentivized domestic wood products production. In June 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued post-preliminary results of the seventh administrative review (“AR7”) indicating lower combined Canadian duties, with final determinations expected between August and October 2026; however, AR7 duties would remain elevated relative to historical levels, and the Section 232 duty will continue to apply. A final determination materially below current cash deposit rates could adversely impact domestic lumber prices, wood products production, and log demand and pricing.
Previous wording
We are also subject to the risk of price fluctuations in key operational costs, which primarily include logging and hauling. Additionally, our cost of sales is significantly influenced by the cost basis of timber sold (depletion) and real estate sold. Depletion represents the amortization of capitalized site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, timberland lease payments, and certain payroll costs. The cost basis of real estate sold includes land costs and direct development and construction expenses for specific projects, including infrastructure, roadways, utilities, amenities and other improvements. While our timber and real estate sales are not directly subject to tariffs, to the extent that goods and/or services that we purchase in our operations are impacted by tariffs, this could lead to higher costs in our operations if vendors look to pass through any such increased costs resulting from tariffs. Similarly, diesel fuel prices, which directly affect our logging and transportation costs, have risen in 2026 as a result of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and related disruptions to global energy markets, resulting in upward pressure on operating costs. Other costs include amortization of capitalized road and bridge construction and software, depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes, fire prevention, and real estate commissions and closing costs.
