Previous wording

Recently announced and ongoing U.S. trade policy actions have resulted in elevated macroeconomic uncertainty and a decrease in consumer confidence. These policies, along with potential countermeasures by other countries, and the outcome of certain executive orders and trade investigations relating to our businesses, have the potential to affect supply and demand trends, import and export dynamics, and pricing for our products.

Current wording

Ongoing U.S. trade policy changes have resulted in continued macroeconomic uncertainty and increased cautiousness by consumers. These policies, along with potential countermeasures by other countries, and the effects of certain executive orders and trade investigations relating to our businesses, have the potential to affect supply and demand trends, import and export dynamics, and pricing for our products. Trade and tariff policies are generally separate from the annual establishment and collection of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) placed on certain products and countries, such as for Canadian softwood lumber.

Previous wording

Home sales and building activity has eased in response to elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and lower consumer confidence. Despite areas in the U.S. South and Southwest seeing an uptick in new offerings, overall housing inventory remains historically low across many markets. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for second quarter 2025 averaged 1.3 million units, a 5.3 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Single-family starts averaged 919 thousand units in second quarter 2025, a 9.5 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Multi-family starts averaged 408 thousand units in second quarter 2025, a 5.9 percent increase from first quarter 2025. Single-family construction is the primary driver for our business as compared to multi-family due to the amount of wood products used. Sales of newly built, single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 652 thousand units for second quarter 2025, a 0.5 percent decrease from first quarter 2025. Notwithstanding current macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts to housing demand, we expect a favorable U.S. housing construction market over the medium to long-term, supported by strong demographics in the key home buying age cohorts and a decade of under building.

Current wording

Home sales and building activity continues to moderate in response to elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and lower consumer confidence. While overall housing inventory remains historically low across many markets, there has been some increase in unsold new and existing single-family units. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts as of the end of August 2025 averaged 1.4 million units, a 1.0 percent increase from second quarter 2025. Single-family starts averaged 924 thousand units as of the end of August 2025, a 1.8 percent decrease from second quarter 2025. Multi-family starts averaged 445 thousand units as of the end of August 2025, a 7.5 percent increase from second quarter 2025. Single-family construction is the primary driver for our business as compared to multi-family due to the amount of wood products used. Sales of newly built single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 732 thousand units through August 2025, a 9.3 percent increase from second quarter 2025, driven by builder incentives and moderate relief in mortgage rates. Notwithstanding current macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts to housing demand, we expect a favorable U.S. housing construction market over the medium to long-term, supported by strong demographics in the key home buying age cohorts and a decade of under building.

Previous wording

Repair and remodeling expenditures increased by 0.3 percent from first quarter 2025 to second quarter 2025 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. While there continues to be steady demand due to growing home equity and the lock-in effect of lower mortgage rates compared to current rates, many homeowners have been more cautious in discretionary spending on large projects. Slower sales of existing homes has also contributed to more subdued activity. This softness has been reflected in both the do-it-yourself (DIY) and professionally built segments, largely driven by lower consumer confidence, higher interest rates and general uncertainty around the trajectory of the economy. Over the longer term, we expect this sector to return to historical growth trends driven by recent deferrals in repair and remodel spending, higher levels of home equity and an aging U.S. housing stock, with a median age of 45 years.

In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices decreased 0.9 percent in second quarter 2025 compared with first quarter 2025, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Prices in the first quarter had been elevated given seasonally lower log supply and steady takeaway of lumber, but decreased in the second quarter in response to a softening lumber market and elevated log inventories. In the South, delivered sawlog prices decreased 0.4 percent in second quarter 2025 compared to first quarter 2025 and declined 2.5 percent from second quarter 2024, as reported by TimberMart-South. In general, Southern log supply remains ample and mills continue to align production with end-market demand.

Current wording

In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices decreased 9.1 percent in third quarter 2025 compared with second quarter 2025, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Log prices in the domestic market faced downward pressure as supply remained ample, and mills continued to carry elevated log inventories while navigating a challenging lumber market. In the South, delivered sawlog prices increased 0.6 percent in third quarter 2025 compared to second quarter 2025 and declined 3.0 percent from third quarter 2024, as reported by TimberMart-South. Delivered pine pulpwood prices decreased 0.4 percent in third quarter 2025 compared to second quarter 2025 and declined 1.9 percent from third quarter 2024 as reported by TimberMart-South. In general, Southern log supply remains ample and wood product and fiber mills continue to align production with end-market demand. Pulpwood prices have been more challenged in several localized regions following recent mill closures.

Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During second quarter 2025, end-use demand in export markets moderated. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 6.0 percent year-to-date through May compared to the same period in 2024, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 2.2 percent decrease, in part due to more stringent building permit requirements, effective April 1,

Current wording

Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 8.2 percent year-to-date through August compared to the same period in 2024, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 5.0 percent decrease, in part due to more stringent building permit requirements which went into effect on April 1, 2025. The slowing demand has been partially offset by a decrease in lumber imports to Japan from Europe and reduced inventories of European lumber in the Japanese market. In March 2025, Chinese regulators announced a suspension of log imports from the U.S, which continued through the third quarter.

Previous wording

Interest rates affect our business primarily through their impact on mortgage rates and housing affordability, their general impact on the economy and their influence on our capital management activities. Actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the overall condition of the economy and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that influence long-term interest rates. 30-year mortgage rates, which are generally correlated with long-term interest rates, increased from 6.7 percent in first quarter 2025 to 6.8 percent in second quarter 2025, according to economic data from Freddie Mac. Many builders have been able to offset higher mortgage rates through discounts, mortgage rate buydowns and modifying product offerings such as home sizes and finishes. Higher rates have also locked-in many existing homeowners from selling, thereby reducing inventories of existing homes for sale which has led to incremental demand for available new homes.

Previous wording

Increased inflation affects the cost of our operations across each of our business segments, including costs for raw materials, transportation, energy and labor. The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual rate of 2.7 percent as of June 2025 compared to 2.4 percent in March 2025. This rate is markedly down from prior periods of elevated inflation, with limited tariff-related pressures largely offset by easing costs in other goods and services. While we can offset some of our costs that are affected by inflation through our sales activities, operational excellence initiatives and procurement practices, not all costs associated with inflation can be fully mitigated or passed on to the customer.
