Excluding an after-tax adjustment of $5 million for special items, the company reported second quarter net earnings of $123 million, or 16 cents per diluted share. This compares with net earnings before special items of $332 million for the same period last year and $80 million for the first quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2019 was $343 million compared with $637 million for the same period last year and $365 million for the first quarter of 2019.

"Our businesses delivered strong operating performance in the second quarter despite various market and weather-related challenges," said Devin W. Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. "This includes the lowest controllable lumber manufacturing cost we have ever reported. Looking forward, although record-setting rainfall has held back U.S. housing activity in the first half of 2019, we see solid underlying market conditions and continue to expect the housing market will follow a modest growth trajectory. We remain committed to delivering industry-leading performance, fully capitalizing on all market conditions, and driving superior value for shareholders."

Net earnings before special items is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides helpful context in understanding the company's earnings performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items. Net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent, an alternative to our GAAP results. Reconciliations of net earnings before special items and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP earnings are included within this release.

(2)

First quarter 2019 after-tax special items include a $345 million noncash settlement charge related to the transfer of pension assets and liabilities through the purchase of a group annuity contract, a $15 million legal charge and a $9 million charge related to the early extinguishment of debt. Second quarter 2019 after-tax special items include a $5 million benefit from finalizing the noncash settlement charge incurred in first quarter 2019. Second quarter 2018 after-tax special items include $15 million of product remediation charges.

2Q 2019 Performance - In the West, forestry and road spending increased seasonally compared with the first quarter, and average log sales realizations decreased. Export log realizations were slightly lower, and the proportion of sales to export markets decreased due to the timing of vessel sailings. In the South, average log sales realizations were comparable, with a modest reduction in fee harvest volumes due to continued wet weather. In the North, fee harvest volumes were seasonally lower due to spring breakup.

3Q 2019 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser expects third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be lower than the second quarter. In the West, the company anticipates seasonally lower harvest volumes, slightly higher road costs, and average log sales realizations modestly lower than the second quarter average. In the South, the company expects seasonally higher forestry expenses, largely offset by increased fee harvest volumes. Average Southern log sales realizations should be comparable to the second quarter.

2Q 2019 Performance - Real estate sales were lower than the first quarter. The number of acres sold increased and average price per acre declined, primarily due to a large acre transaction in Montana which accounted for approximately half of the acres sold in the second quarter. Average land basis increased due to the mix of properties sold. Energy & Natural Resources earnings and Adjusted EBITDA were slightly higher than the first quarter.

3Q 2019 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be lower than the second quarter. The company continues to expect full year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA for the segment will be approximately $270 million.

2Q 2019 Performance - Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared with the first quarter due to seasonally higher sales volumes and improved per unit manufacturing costs in engineered wood products. This was partially offset by a modest decline in average sales realizations for oriented strand board and slightly lower average sales realizations for lumber.

3Q 2019 Outlook - Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be comparable to the second quarter before any improvement in average sales realizations. The company expects comparable sales volumes and slightly lower fiber costs, offset by slightly higher unit manufacturing costs for engineered wood products.

In January 2019, we changed the way we report our Canadian Forestlands operations, which are primarily operated to supply Weyerhaeuser's Canadian Wood Products manufacturing facilities. As a result, we no longer report related intersegment sales in the Timberlands segment and we will now record the minimal associated third-party log sales in the Wood Products segment. These collective transactions did not contribute any earnings to the Timberlands segment. We have conformed prior year presentations with the current year.
