Geopolitical events and ongoing U.S. trade policy changes have resulted in macroeconomic uncertainty and increased cautiousness by consumers. The conflict in the Middle East has had a near-term impact on energy and fuel prices, which has negatively affected businesses and households. Trade and tariff policies, along with potential countermeasures by other countries, affect supply and demand trends, import and export dynamics, and pricing for our products.

Previous wording

Housing market conditions have been mixed, with lower home sales but relatively steady building activity. Elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and weaker consumer confidence remain key factors influencing housing demand. While overall housing inventory remains historically low across many markets, inventories of unsold new and existing single-family units have stabilized after increasing through 2025. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for first quarter 2026 averaged 1.4 million units, a 7.2 percent increase from fourth quarter 2025. Single-family starts averaged 957 thousand units in first quarter 2026, a 3.5 percent increase from fourth quarter 2025. Multi-family starts averaged 462 thousand units in first quarter 2026, a 16.0 percent increase from fourth quarter 2025. Single-family construction is a primary driver of our business as compared to multi-family construction due to the amount of wood products used per unit. Sales of newly built single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 587 thousand units for January 2026, a 17.2 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2025, as affordability constraints and elevated financing costs continued to weigh on buyer demand despite ongoing builder incentives. 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

Housing market conditions have remained mixed, with lower home sales and relatively steady building activity. Elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and weaker consumer confidence remain key factors influencing housing demand. Existing home inventory remains constrained in many markets due to the continued lock-in effect among homeowners with below-market mortgage rates. Inventories of unsold new homes have declined after reaching a cyclical peak in 2025. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for second quarter 2026 averaged 1.3 million units, a 5.0 percent decrease from first quarter 2026. Single-family starts averaged 902 thousand units in second quarter 2026, a 4.5 percent decrease from first quarter 2026. Multi-family starts averaged 445 thousand units in second quarter 2026, a 6.0 percent decrease from first quarter 2026. Single-family construction is a primary driver of our business compared to multi-family construction due to the amount of wood products used per unit. Sales of newly built single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 631 thousand units for second quarter 2026, a 1.4 percent increase from first quarter 2026, as builders continue to provide incentives to help offset affordability constraints and elevated buyer financing costs. Notwithstanding current macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts on housing demand, we continue to expect favorable long-term fundamentals for the U.S. housing construction market, supported by strong demographic trends, a prolonged period of underbuilding, and the need for additional housing supply.

Previous wording

Repair and remodeling expenditures increased 2.62 percent from fourth quarter 2025 to first quarter 2026, 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. Professionally built segments were firmer than do-it-yourself (DIY) activity, though both continue to be restrained due to subdued consumer confidence, elevated interest rates and concerns around the trajectory of the economy. Slower sales of existing homes have also contributed to muted activity as there is often an increase in upgrades and repairs before and after the sale of a home. 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 46 years.

Previous wording

In U.S. wood product markets, operating capacity across the industry has come into a more normalized balance with measured demand, leading to price uplift across many commodity products. In first quarter 2026, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $435/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $261/MSF. Over the course of first quarter 2026, composite prices for lumber increased from $385/MBF to $470/MBF and composite prices for OSB increased from $230/MSF to $265/MSF. The Framing Lumber Composite continued on an upward trajectory across most regions and species. Curtailments during the holiday season and some permanent closures in the fourth quarter of 2025, combined with leaner dealer inventories at the beginning of the quarter, contributed to the price increases. What had been a large divergence in lumber prices across regions and species narrowed in first quarter 2026, with Southern Yellow Pine showing particularly strong gains relative to other species. For OSB, product pricing showed modest improvement from the fourth quarter, as supply adjustments were not as pronounced as in lumber, reflecting relatively higher levels of OSB operating capacity across the U.S. and Canada.

Current wording

In U.S. wood product markets, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $490/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $250/MSF during second quarter 2026, while composite prices for lumber increased from $470/MBF to $513/MBF and composite prices for OSB decreased from $265/MSF to $243/MSF. The Framing Lumber Composite continued on an upward trajectory across most regions and species. Curtailments and some permanent closures in late 2025 and into 2026, fewer European lumber imports, leaner dealer inventories and tighter freight markets contributed to the price increases. What had been a large divergence in lumber prices across regions and species narrowed over first half 2026, with Southern Yellow Pine showing particularly strong gains relative to other species. For OSB, product pricing has remained low as there have been fewer supply adjustments across the U.S. and Canada than the lumber sector.

In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices increased 5.4 percent in first quarter 2026 compared with fourth quarter 2025, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Log prices in the domestic market rose as several mills returned to normal operations after year-end. In the South, delivered sawlog prices decreased 1.3 percent in first quarter 2026 compared to fourth quarter 2025 and declined 3.5 percent from first quarter 2025, as reported by TimberMart-South. Delivered pine pulpwood prices decreased 1.3 percent in first quarter 2026 compared to fourth quarter 2025 and declined 5.7 percent from first quarter 2025 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 mill closures in 2025 and slower end-use market demand.

Current wording

In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices increased 4.4 percent in second quarter 2026 compared with first quarter 2026, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Log prices in the domestic market rose as lumber prices strengthened and mills increased inventories ahead of fire season. In the South, delivered sawlog prices increased 2.9 percent in second quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2026 and declined 0.3 percent from second quarter 2025, as reported by TimberMart-South. Delivered pine pulpwood prices increased 0.3 percent in second quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2026 and declined 3.5 percent from second quarter 2025 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 mill closures in 2025 and slower end-use market demand. However, log demand is improving slightly as sawmills respond to stronger lumber prices and fiber mills come out of spring maintenance outages.

Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 2.7 percent year-to-date through February compared to the same period in 2025, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 7.3 percent increase, partly reflecting a backlog of permit applications following more stringent building requirements that took effect April 1, 2025. Slowing demand has been partially offset by reduced lumber imports from Europe and lower inventories of European lumber in the Japanese market, while higher energy costs have had some negative impact on Japanese producers. In China, during fourth quarter 2025 regulators lifted the March 4, 2025 suspension of log imports from the U.S. As a result, Weyerhaeuser is in the early stages of re-establishing its log export program to strategic customers in China.

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 6.2 percent in fourth quarter 2025 to 6.4 percent in first quarter 2026, 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.

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 3.3 percent as of March 2026 compared to 2.7 percent as of December 2025. This rate is markedly down from prior periods of elevated inflation, although the Iran conflict has led to markedly higher energy and fuel prices. 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.

The condition of the labor market affects all of our businesses as it relates to our ability to attract and retain employees and contractors. The unemployment rate decreased from 4.4 percent in fourth quarter 2025 to 4.3 percent in first quarter 2026. Weyerhaeuser is currently in active negotiations with members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union to establish a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) covering approximately 1,200 Wood Products and Timberlands employees across four lumber mills and a portion of our Western Timberlands operations in Washington and Oregon. The employees covered by the current CBA, which will expire on May 31, 2026, last commenced a work stoppage in September 2022 that was resolved in October 2022. At this stage in the negotiations, there is no way to be certain about the occurrence or extent of any work stoppage.
