LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides financial flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of December 31, 2024, we had $684 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in March 2028. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

Consolidated net cash from operations was:

$1,008 million in 2024 and
$1,433 million in 2023.

Net cash from operations decreased by $425 million, primarily due to decreased cash inflows from our business operations.

Pension Contributions and Benefit Payments Made and Expected

During 2024, we contributed a total of $18 million to our pension and post-employment benefit plans, compared to a total of $20 million during 2023.

For 2025, we expect to contribute approximately $20 million to our pension and post-employment benefit plans. Refer to Note 8: Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans for further information.

INVESTING IN OUR BUSINESS

Cash from investing activities includes items such as:

capital expenditures for property, equipment and reforestation,
acquisitions of timberlands,
proceeds from sales of assets and operations and
purchases and maturities of short-term investments.

Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:

$(636) million in 2024 and
$(508) million in 2023.

Net cash from investing activities decreased by $128 million, primarily due to:

a $166 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of timberlands and
an $18 million increase in cash spent on the acquisition of timberlands.

These changes were partially offset by a $26 million decrease in capital expenditures for property and equipment.

During fourth quarter 2024, we announced our plan to invest approximately $500 million to build a new TimberStrand® facility in Monticello, Arkansas. This capital outlay may be sourced from cash on hand or through future financing, as deemed appropriate. Construction is expected to start in 2025, with the goal of starting operations in 2027. Once completed, the new facility will increase our engineered wood products capacity by approximately 10 million cubic feet.

We expect our capital expenditures for 2025 to be approximately $440 million, excluding the investment in our Monticello engineered wood products facility. We plan to exclude the investment for purposes of calculating our annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD), as used in our flexible cash return framework. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change due to:

future economic conditions,
environmental regulations,
changes in the composition of our business,
weather,
timing of equipment purchases and
capital needs related to other business opportunities.

FINANCING

Cash from financing activities includes items such as:

issuances and payments of debt and
payments for cash dividends and repurchasing stock.

Consolidated net cash from financing activities was:

$(852) million in 2024 and
$(1,342) million in 2023.

Net cash from financing activities increased by $490 million, primarily due to:

a $978 million decrease in payments on long-term debt and
a $532 million decrease in cash paid for dividends.

These changes were partially offset by a $992 million decrease in net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and a $23 million increase in cash used for repurchases of common stock.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Our consolidated long-term debt (including current portion) was:

$5,076 million as of December 31, 2024 and
$5,069 million as of December 31, 2023.

The $7 million increase in our long-term debt during 2024 is attributable to amortization of debt discounts and capitalized debt expenses.

The weighted average interest rate and the weighted average maturity on our long-term debt as of December 31, 2024 were 5.30 percent and 6.6 years, respectively.

In January 2025, we repaid our $139 million 8.50 percent debentures at maturity. We have $71 million of 7.95 percent debentures scheduled to mature in first quarter 2025.

See Note 11: Long-Term Debt, Net for more information.

LINE OF CREDIT

We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. This credit facility expires in March 2028.

Refer to Note 10: Line of Credit for further information.

Our Covenants

Our key covenants include the requirement to maintain:

a minimum total adjusted shareholders' equity of $3.0 billion and
a defined debt-to-total-capital ratio of 65 percent or less.

Our total adjusted shareholders' equity is comprised of:

total shareholders’ equity,
excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss,
minus our investment in our unrestricted subsidiaries.

Our capitalization is comprised of:

total debt,
plus total adjusted shareholders' equity.

As of December 31, 2024, we had:

total adjusted shareholders' equity of $10.1 billion and
a defined debt-to-total-capital ratio of 33.4 percent.

When calculating compliance in accordance with financial debt covenants as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we excluded the full amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss of $402 million and $293 million, respectively. See Note 14: Shareholders’ Interest for further information on accumulated other comprehensive loss.

There are no other significant financial debt covenants related to our third-party debt.

CREDIT RATINGS

As of December 31, 2024, our long-term issuer credit rating was BBB and Baa2 from S&P and Moody’s, respectively.

DIVIDENDS

We paid cash dividends on common shares of:

$684 million in 2024 and
$1,216 million in 2023.

The decrease in dividends paid is primarily due to a supplemental dividend of $0.14 per share based on 2023 financial results for a total of $102 million paid in first quarter 2024 in comparison to a supplemental dividend of $0.90 per share based on 2022 financial results for a total of $660 million paid in first quarter 2023.

Under our cash return framework, we plan to supplement our base dividend with an additional return of variable cash, as appropriate, in the form of a supplemental cash dividend and/or share repurchase to achieve our targeted total return to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). For further information on Adjusted FAD see Performance and Liquidity Measures.

SHARE REPURCHASES

We repurchased 4.9 million common shares for approximately $153 million (including transaction fees) during the year ended December 31, 2024. We repurchased 4.1 million common shares for approximately $125 million (including transaction fees) in 2023. As of December 31, 2024, we had remaining authorization of $99 million for future share repurchases. For further information on share repurchases see Note 14: Shareholders’ Interest.
