WILDLIGHT, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rayonier Inc. (NYSE:RYN) today reported second quarter net income attributable to Rayonier of $408.7 million, or $2.63 per share, on revenues of $106.5 million. This compares to net income attributable to Rayonier of $1.9 million, or $0.01 per share, on revenues of $99.6 million in the prior year quarter.

The second quarter results included a $404.4 million gain on the sale of the Company鈥檚 New Zealand joint venture interest¹ and a $0.6 million loss from operations of discontinued operations (net of tax).² Excluding these items and adjusting for pro forma net income (loss) adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests,³ second quarter pro forma net income⁴ was $9.6 million, or $0.06 per share. This compares to pro forma net loss⁴ of $2.6 million, or ($0.02) per share, in the prior year period.

The following table summarizes the current quarter and comparable prior year period results:

Second quarter operating income was $14.5 million versus $4.5 million in the prior year period, while second quarter pro forma operating income⁴ was $14.5 million versus $4.7 million in the prior year period. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁴ was $44.9 million versus $33.3 million in the prior year period.

The following table summarizes operating income (loss), pro forma operating income (loss),⁴ and Adjusted EBITDA⁴ for the current quarter and comparable prior year period:

Year-to-date cash provided by operating activities was $88.7 million versus $107.6 million in the prior year period. Year-to-date cash available for distribution (CAD)⁴ was $46.7 million, which increased $8.3 million versus the prior year period due to lower cash interest paid (net) ($7.9 million) and lower capital expenditures ($6.4 million), partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA⁴ ($6.0 million).

鈥淒uring the second quarter, we generated total Adjusted EBITDA of $44.9 million鈥攔epresenting a 35% increase compared to the prior year period鈥攁s stronger results in our AG真人官方 Estate and Pacific Northwest Timber segments were partially offset by lower results in our Southern Timber segment,鈥� said Mark McHugh, President and CEO.

鈥淪econd quarter Adjusted EBITDA in our AG真人官方 Estate segment improved $14.1 million versus the prior year period, exceeding our expectations entering the quarter due to the accelerated timing of certain transactions. In our Timber segments, Adjusted EBITDA declined 11% versus the prior year quarter, as timber markets continued to be constrained by challenging end-market demand as well as elevated salvage volume resulting from Hurricane Helene in 2024.鈥�

鈥淥verall, we still anticipate total full-year Adjusted EBITDA results in line with our prior guidance, as further detailed later in this release.鈥�

"The second quarter also marked a significant milestone in our asset disposition and capital structure realignment plan, as we closed on the sale of our New Zealand joint venture interest in June鈥攂ringing total disposition activity to $1.45 billion since the plan was announced in November 2023. With the New Zealand transaction now complete, our financial flexibility has been significantly enhanced, and we are well-positioned to execute on strategies to create shareholder value moving forward, including additional share repurchases.鈥�

Southern Timber

Second quarter sales of $53.3 million decreased $6.0 million, or 10%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 5% to 1.60 million tons versus 1.67 million tons in the prior year period, primarily due to softer mill demand coupled with the impact of the Large Disposition we completed in Oklahoma in late 2024. Average pine sawtimber stumpage realizations decreased 9% to $26.75 per ton versus $29.28 per ton in the prior year period due to a combination of softer demand from Southern sawmills, competing log supply from salvage timber, and an unfavorable shift in geographic mix. Average pine pulpwood stumpage realizations decreased 25% to $13.05 per ton versus $17.38 per ton in the prior year period, driven by the continued impact of salvage volume on the market, softer demand from pulp mills due to maintenance outages and reduced capacity, and an unfavorable shift in geographic mix. Overall, weighted-average net stumpage realizations (including hardwood) decreased 14% to $19.18 per ton versus $22.21 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $12.6 million decreased $4.5 million versus the prior year period due to lower net stumpage realizations ($4.8 million) and lower volumes ($0.9 million), partially offset by lower costs ($0.8 million), higher non-timber income ($0.2 million), and lower depletion expense ($0.2 million).

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁴ of $28.4 million was 16%, or $5.5 million, below the prior year period.

Pacific Northwest Timber

Second quarter sales of $22.4 million decreased $1.9 million, or 8%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 15% to 248,000 tons versus 293,000 tons in the prior year period due to the impact of the Large Dispositions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 6% to $96.17 per ton versus $90.70 per ton in the prior year period due to strong demand from domestic lumber mills in anticipation of additional duties on Canadian lumber, as well as a favorable geographic mix resulting from recent Large Dispositions. Average delivered pulpwood prices increased 4% to $31.52 per ton versus $30.20 per ton in the prior year period due to modestly improved supply/demand dynamics. Operating income of $1.6 million versus an operating loss of ($1.5) million in the prior year period was driven by lower costs ($2.2 million), lower depletion expense ($1.0 million), and higher net stumpage realizations ($0.5 million), partially offset by lower volumes ($0.4 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.2 million).

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁴ of $7.0 million was 17%, or $1.0 million, above the prior year period.

AG真人官方 Estate

Second quarter sales of $29.4 million increased $14.0 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $9.8 million increased $9.3 million versus the prior year period. Sales and operating income increased versus the prior year period primarily due to higher acres sold (3,263 acres sold versus 1,494 acres sold in the prior year period) and higher weighted-average prices ($8,340 per acre versus $6,722 per acre in the prior year period).

Improved Development sales of $8.5 million included $5.2 million from the Heartwood development project south of Savannah, Georgia and $3.3 million from the Wildlight development project north of Jacksonville, Florida. Sales in Heartwood included a 23-acre commercial parcel for $5.2 million ($225,000 per acre). Sales in Wildlight consisted of two commercial parcels totaling 3.1 acres ($1.1 million per acre). This compares to Improved Development sales of $2.6 million in the prior year period.

Unimproved Development sales of $3.0 million consisted of a 311-acre transaction in Flagler County, Florida for $9,635 per acre. There were no unimproved development sales in the prior year period.

Rural sales of $15.7 million consisted of 2,926 acres at an average price of $5,376 per acre. This compares to prior year period sales of $7.5 million, which consisted of 1,439 acres at an average price of $5,189 per acre.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁴ of $18.6 million increased $14.0 million versus the prior year period.

Trading

Second quarter sales of $1.4 million increased $0.8 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to higher volumes. Sales volumes were 18,000 tons in the second quarter compared to 5,000 tons in the prior year period. The Trading segment generated an operating loss of $0.1 million versus breakeven results in the prior year period.

Other Items

Second quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $9.3 million decreased $2.3 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits expenses.

Second quarter interest expense of $6.5 million decreased $2.5 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower average outstanding debt. Second quarter interest income of $2.3 million increased $0.6 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to higher cash on hand following the Large Dispositions completed in late 2024.

Share Repurchases

During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares at an average price of $23.71 per share, or $34.9 million in total. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 154.8 million common shares and 2.1 million redeemable operating partnership units outstanding. As of June 30, the Company had $262.4 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

鈥淏ased on our year-to-date results and our expectations for the balance of the year, we are on-track to achieve full-year Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma EPS consistent with our prior guidance range,鈥� added McHugh.

鈥淚n our Southern Timber segment, we expect full-year harvest volumes toward the lower end of our prior guidance range, although we expect materially higher volumes in the second half versus the first half of the year. We further expect that pine net stumpage realizations will be modestly higher in the second half of the year as compared to the first half due to reduced salvage volume on the market, more normalized demand conditions following several extended mill outages, and favorable geographic mix. Overall, we anticipate significantly higher results in the second half versus the first half of the year, with full-year Adjusted EBITDA near the lower end of our prior guidance range.鈥�

鈥淚n our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect full-year harvest volumes consistent with our prior guidance. Weighted-average log pricing is expected to be modestly higher in the second half of the year versus the first half due to the anticipated effect of increased duties on Canadian lumber imports. Overall, we anticipate full-year Adjusted EBITDA consistent with our prior guidance range.鈥�

鈥淭urning to our AG真人官方 Estate segment, we remain encouraged by our transaction pipeline and expect significant closing activity over the balance of the year. We currently expect an Adjusted EBITDA contribution of $50 to $65 million in the third quarter. However, given the magnitude of certain anticipated closings, it is possible that a substantial portion of this contribution could shift to the fourth quarter. Overall, we now expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA in our AG真人官方 Estate segment to be at or modestly above the high end of our prior guidance range.鈥�

鈥淏ased on the foregoing, we currently anticipate third quarter net income attributable to Rayonier of $29 to $44 million, EPS of $0.18 to $0.28, and Adjusted EBITDA of $80 to $100 million.鈥�
