Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

For purposes of this report, any reference to “PotlatchDeltic,” “Potlatch,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our” means PotlatchDeltic Corporation and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

We are primarily engaged in activities associated with timberland management, including the sale of timber, the management of approximately 1.91.8 million acres of timberlands and the purchase and sale of timberlands. We are also engaged in the manufacture and sale of wood products and the development of real estate.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Shortly thereafter the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities subsequently declared public health emergencies. These declarations resulted in a wide-range of government directives impacting individuals and businesses beginning in late March 2020 to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The full extent to which COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the additional actions taken to contain it or treat it, as well as the severity and duration of the economic impact on local, regional, and national customers, suppliers and markets.

Commitments and Contingencies

At any given time, we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow.

On June 21, 2020, we announced an agreement to sell approximately 72,000 acres of rural timberland in Minnesota to The Conservation Fund for approximately $48.0 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments as defined in the agreement. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.


NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 clarifies that implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements are deferred if they would be capitalized by customers in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. Additionally, ASU 2018-15 clarifies that all capitalized costs must be presented in the same financial statement line item as the cloud computing arrangement. The standard was effective, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The prospective adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those years and requires retrospective adoption; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our defined benefit pension plan and other postretirement plan disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements including (i) requiring disclosures on changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements; and (ii) a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurement disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients and exceptions to US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting impacts related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3. SALE OF DELTIC MDF FACILITY

On December 20, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Roseburg Forest Products Co. to sell the Deltic MDF facility for $92.0 million, consisting of $63.0 million in cash and assumption of $29.0 million of revenue bonds. The purchase price was subject to post-closing adjustments for certain changes in working capital as defined in the Agreement. The transaction closed on February 12, 2019 resulting in a $9.2 million pre-tax gain on sale. Net proceeds received in February 2019 after closing costs and other expenses were $60.0 million. The net proceeds were reduced by $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2019 following the finalization of the post-closing working capital adjustments. A portion of the purchase price was escrowed pending satisfaction of certain covenants as outlined in the Agreement. These funds were fully released to us during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition, we had a carryover tax basis in the facility from the Deltic merger, and as a result, we recorded a reduction to deferred tax liabilities and increase to income taxes payable of $15.8 million at the date of sale. The sale of the MDF facility was not considered a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

Intersegment revenues represent logs sold by our Timberlands segment to our Wood Products segment.

Contract Balances

In general, a customer receivable is recorded as we deliver wood products, logs and residuals. We generally receive payment shortly after products have been received by our customers. At March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded $4.8deferred revenue of $10.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue.liabilities. These contract liabilities predominately relate to hunting and other access rights on our timberlands and member related activities at the Chenal Country Club. These contract liabilities are recognized over the term of the contracts, which is typically twelve months or less, except membership initiation fees at the country club which typically are recognized up to 10 years. Other contract asset and liability balances, such as prepayments, are immaterial. For real estate sales, we typically receive the entire consideration in cash at closing.


NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our businesses are organized into 3 reportable operating segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate.  The Timberlands segment includes planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Timberlands segment also generates revenues from non-timber resources such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts, oil and gas royalties and carbon sequestration. The Wood Products segment manufactures and markets lumber and plywood. The Real Estate segment includes the sale of land holdings deemed non-strategic or identified as having higher and better use alternatives, master planned community development and a country club.

Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizeable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of the valuation of inventories which are reported using the average cost method for purposes of reporting segment results.

Management primarily evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based upon Adjusted EBITDDA. EBITDDA is calculated as net income (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Management uses Adjusted EBITDDA to compare the operating performance of our segments on a consistent basis and to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of each segment’s operational strategies. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.


The following table summarizes information for each of the company’s reportable segments and includes a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to income (loss) income before income taxes. Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For stock-based awards, the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the dilutive effect is computed as if the awards were exercised at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and assumes the related proceeds were used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Related proceeds include future compensation cost associated with the stock award.

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 there were approximately 39,000 and 490,000 stock-based awards, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 there were approximately 317,00095,000 and 90,00071,000 stock-based awards, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock-based awards could be dilutive in future periods.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 30, 2018, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $100.0 million of common stock with no time limit set for the repurchase (the 2018 Repurchase Program). During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, and 2019, we repurchased 400,91788,933 and 278,947489,850 shares of common stock (at a total consideration of $12.4$3.0 million and $10.2$15.4 million), respectively, under the 2018 Repurchase Program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 we repurchased 407,293 and 686,240 shares of common stock (at a total consideration of $15.0 million and $25.2 million), respectively, under the 2018 Repurchase Program. All common stock purchases under the 2018 Repurchase Program were made in open-market transactions. At March 31,June 30, 2020, we had remaining authorization of $62.5$59.5 million for future stock repurchases under the 2018 Repurchase Program.

We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability to account for repurchases that have not been cash settled. There were 0 unsettled repurchases as of March 31,June 30, 2020. We retire shares upon repurchase. Any excess repurchase price over par is recorded in accumulated deficit.

NOTE 8. DEBT 

At March 31,June 30, 2020, our total outstanding long-term debt included $693.5 million of term loans under our Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender, of which $46.0 million matures in December 2020. Certain borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Agreement are at variable rates of one or three-month LIBOR plus a spread between 1.85% and 2.15%. We have entered into interest rate swaps for these variable rate term loans to fix the interest rate. See Note: 9 Derivative Instruments for additional information.

At March 31,June 30, 2020 there were no borrowings under our $380.0 million revolving line of credit and approximately $1.0 million of our revolving line of credit was utilized for outstanding letters of credit. As provided in the revolving line of credit agreement, borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $420.0 million. The revolving line of credit agreement also includes a sublimit of $75.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit of $25.0 million for swing line loans. Usage under either or both subfacilities reduces availability under the revolving line of credit. We may utilize borrowings under the credit facility to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions and other general corporate expenditures.

We were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants at March 31,June 30, 2020.


NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage certain cash flow and fair value risks. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or liability to a particular risk are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a specific asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered cash flow hedges.


At March 31,June 30, 2020, we have 6 interest rate swaps associated with $397.5 million of term loan debt. TheThese swaps are cash flow hedges that convert variable rates ranging from three-month and one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% to 2.15%, to fixed rates ranging from 3.17% to 4.82%. Our cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged interest rate risk through the term of the hedges.

In March 2020, we entered into $653.5 million of forward starting interest rate swaps. These forward starting interest rate swaps effectively hedge the variability in future benchmark interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates on future debt refinancing. We entered into these forward starting interest rate swaps in order to lockrefinancing by locking in fixed rates on our anticipated future refinancing of $653.5 million of term loan debt maturing December 2020 through January 2029. The fixed interest ratesrate components for these forward swaps range from 0.85% to 1.17%. The variable rate component on these forward interest rate swaps is one-month LIBOR. Accordingly, the forward rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, these cash flow hedges require settlement on the stated maturity date for each respective term loan currently outstanding.

1Realized loss on hedging instruments consist of net cash settlements and interest accruals on interest rate swaps during the periods.

At March 31,June 30, 2020, approximately $8.3$9.1 million of net losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months. However, this expected amount to be reclassified into earnings is subject to volatility as the ultimate amount recognized in earnings is based on the market LIBOR rate at the time of cash settlement.

1

The carrying amount of long-term debt includes principal and unamortized discounts.

The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate forward curves.

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar debt issues or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price.

The contract value of our company owned life insurance is based on the amount at which it could be redeemed and, accordingly, approximates fair value.

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Performance Share Awards

PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans have a three-year performance period and shares are issued at the end of the period if the performance measures are met. The performance measures are based on the percentile ranking of our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return performance of both a selected peer group of companies and a larger group of indexed companies over the three-year performance period. The number of shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the PSA, could range from 0% to 200%. PSAs granted under our stock incentive plans do not have voting rights unless and until shares are issued upon settlement. If shares are issued at the end of the three-year performance measurement period, the recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares at the time of payment equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the shares earned had the recipients owned the shares during the three-year period. Therefore, the shares are not considered participating securities. The fair value of performance shares granted in 2020 was $45.04 per share.

The following table presents the key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the performance share awards in 2020:

Restricted Stock Units

RSU awards accrue dividend equivalents based on dividends paid during the RSU vesting period. The dividend equivalents will be converted into additional RSUs that will vest in the same manner as the underlying RSUs to which they relate. Therefore, the shares are not considered participating securities. The terms of the awards state that the RSUs will vest in a given time period of one to three years and the terms of certain awards follow a vesting schedule within the given time period. The fair value of RSUs granted equaled our common share price on the date of grant factoring in any required post-vesting holding periods. The weighted average fair value of all RSUs granted during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $42.16.$38.77 per share.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income of the REIT that we distribute to our shareholders. We conduct certain activities through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These taxable activities are principally comprised of our wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income tax expense or benefit is primarily due to income or loss of the TRS, as well as permanent book versus tax differences. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $11.2 million associated with the $43.0 million pension settlement charge.charge recorded in the first quarter. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2020 we recorded an increase in deferred tax assets of $6.8 million associated with the $26.2 million remeasurement of our pension plan obligations. See Note 14: Pension and Other Postretirement Employee Benefits for further details. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 we recorded a reduction to deferred tax liabilities and an increase to income taxes payable of $15.8 million related to the sale of the Deltic MDF facility. See Note 3: Sale of Deltic MDF Facility for further details.


NOTE 13. LEASES

We lease certain equipment, office space and land. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

NOTE 14. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

In February 2020 we purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $101.1 million of our outstanding pension benefit obligation related to our qualified pension plans to the insurance company. This transaction was funded with plan assets. As a result of the transaction, the insurance company assumed responsibility for annuity administration and benefit payments to select retirees, with 0 change to their monthly retirement benefit payment


amounts. In connection with this transaction we recorded a non-cash pretax settlement charge of $43.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in non-operating expense, net, accelerating the recognition of actuarial losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss that would have been recognized in future periods.

The settlement triggered a remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities. We updated the discount rate used to measure our projected benefit obligation for the qualified pension plans as of February 29, 2020 and to calculate the related net periodic benefit cost for the remainder of 2020 to 2.95% from 3.40%. All other pension assumptions remain unchanged. The net effect of the remeasurement was a reduction in the funded status of our qualified pension plans of approximately $26.2 million, primarily driven by the decrease in the discount rate.  

The following tables detail the components of net periodic cost (benefit) of our pension plans and other postretirement employee benefits (OPEB):

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities have declared public health emergencies. For the first quarter of 2020 each of our business segments produced strong results, however the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant economic and business uncertainty, along with volatile financial market conditions.

Our Timberlands and Wood Products businesses have been deemed an essential business in states that have issued stay-at-home orders and as such, we plan to continue to operate each of our businesses at full capacity where market conditions allow while maintaining the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers and customers. In our Wood Products segment, our industrial grade plywood product line has been more adversely impacted. As a result of decreased demand, we temporarily suspended operations at our St. Maries, Idaho industrial plywood facility beginning April 20, 2020. We will re-start our plywood facility when we have received enough orders to justify re-opening the facility, which we estimate to be sometime in May 2020.  Further, we expect the economic impacts from COVID-19 to negatively impact our Chenal Valley real estate development.

Additionally, we anticipate our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and our available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements. At March 31, 2020 we had approximately $79.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and availability of $379.0 million on our revolving line of credit. As the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may be required to assess liquidity options available to us, including accessing our revolving line of credit, reassessing our capital allocation strategy including the funding of our quarterly dividend, or take appropriate actions such as only proceeding with operating and capital spending that is critical.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including without limitation, expected impacts of COVID-19 on our business and our ability to continue operations during the pandemic, fair value of hedging instruments and swaps, expected return on pension assets, recognition of compensation costs relating to our performance share awards and RSUs, required contributions to pension plans, expected amortization of unrecognized compensation cost of performance share awards and RSUs, amount of net losses on cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months, expected tax payments and deferrals, anticipated share repurchases and dividend payments, expected liquidity, potential uses of our credit facility, the U.S. housing market, home repair and remodeling activity, the lumber and log markets, expected harvest volumes, expected lumber shipments, expected rural real estate and residential real estate development sales, including the closing of the sale of approximately 72,000 rural acres in the fourth quarter of 2020, the average price per acre and developed lot, sufficiency of cash to meet operating requirements, 2020 capital expenditures and similar matters. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “seek,” “schedule,” “estimate,” “could,” “can,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Our actual results of operations could differ materially from our historical results or those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements contained in this report. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: 

 

changes in the United States and international economies;

 

changes in interest rates and discount rates;

 

credit availability including homebuyers’ ability to qualify for mortgages;

 

availability of labor and developable land;

 

changes in the level of residential and commercial construction and remodeling activity;

 

changes in tariffs, quotas and trade agreements involving wood products;

 

changes in demand for our products and real estate;

 

changes in production and production capacity in the forest products industry;

 

competitive pricing pressures for our products;

 

unanticipated manufacturing disruptions;

 

weather;

 

changes in the cost or availability of transportation;

changes in principle expenses;

 

impact of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our business, suppliers, consumers, customers and employees; and

 

disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain and/or operationsoperations.

For a discussion of some of the factors that may affect our business, results and prospects and a nonexclusive listing of forward-looking statements, refer to Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information on page 1 and Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements contained in this report present our views only as of the date of this report. Except as required under applicable law, we do not intend to issue updates concerning any future revisions of our views to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.


Our Company

We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (REIT) with operations in seven states where we own approximately 1.91.8 million acres of timberland, six sawmills, an industrial grade plywood mill and real estate development projects.


Our business is organized into three business segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. The Timberlands segment includes planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Timberlands segment also generates revenues from non-timber resources such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts, oil and gas royalties and carbon sequestration. The Wood Products segment manufactures and markets lumber and plywood. The Real Estate segment includes the sale of land holdings deemed non-strategic or identified as having higher and better use alternatives, master planned community development and a country club.

Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizeable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. In the discussion of our consolidated results of operations, our revenues and expenses are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses. In the business segment discussions, each segment’s revenues and expenses, as applicable, are presented before elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses.

The operating results of our Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the forest products industry, tariffs, quotas and trade agreements, changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland for higher and better use purposes, lumber prices, weather conditions, disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain including the availability of transportation, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our Wood Products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs, asset dispositions or acquisitions, impact of pandemics and other factors. 

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis, including Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which are defined and further explained and reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the Liquidity and Performance Measures section below. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses in evaluating performance, allocating resources between segments, and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. This measure should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Our definition of EBITDDA and Adjusted EBITDDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. See Note 5: Segment Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the use of segment Adjusted EBITDDA.


Business and Economic Trends

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Shortly thereafter, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities began to declare public health emergencies. These declarations resulted in a wide-range of actions taken to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 including quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to reduce or cease normal operations.Although the restrictions began to ease by the end of the second quarter, such directives are subject to change and may, depending on direction from local authorities and the pandemic’s effects on the public, require us, our suppliers or our customers to limit or suspend operations.

The United States Department of Homeland Security has designated the forest and wood products industry as an "essential critical infrastructure workforce," which recognizes the importance of these operations in supporting critical infrastructure and construction projects. The demand for timber is directly affected by the underlying demand for lumber and other wood-products, as well as by the demand for pulp, paper and packaging. Our Timberlands and Wood Products segments are impacted by demand for new homes in the United States and by repair and remodeling activity.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities have declared public health emergencies. Along with these declarations, there have been extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the U.S., including quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

For the first quarter of 2020, each of our business segments produced strong results; however, the The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant economic and business uncertainty, along with volatile financial market conditions. Our Timberlands and Wood Products businesses have been deemed an essential business in states that have issued stay-at-home orders and as such, we planconditions during the first half of 2020 which is expected to continue to operate each of our businesses at full capacity where market conditions allow while maintaininginto the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers and customers. We have introduced measures to protect the health and well-being of these groups. Such measures include encouraging officefuture.


employees to work remotely where their duties allow, restricting travel and group meetings, increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting, screening visitors and vendors at our locations, and enabling physical distancing where it is practicable. We have plans and provisions in placeA housing construction slowdown in the event we have COVID-19 exposurespring due to social-distancing rules and delayed permits and inspections led to a massive destocking of lumber in the workplace. Although we have not hadsupply chain as well as significant curtailment of North American lumber manufacturing capacity. The atypical early spring pullback in lumber production coupled with strong demand led to do so to date, we may be required to temporarily shut down certain operations for additional cleaningan acute shortage that underpins a historic run in lumber prices that began in the second quarter and disinfecting if an exposure occurs.  is continuing.

In several locations across the United States homebuilding has been deemed “non-essential” leading to the temporary suspension of building projects in those states, further contributing to reduced overall market demand and pricing for lumber. The home center demand for repair and remodel activity continues to be a bright spot during the COVID-19 outbreak as more people are able to focus on home renovation projects while remaining at home. In our Wood Products segment, lumber shipments of 249 million board feet during the second quarter of 2020 were constrained by lower production hours, particularly in April when we lost a week of production at our Warren, Arkansas sawmill due to a tornado-caused power outage. For the third quarter of 2020, we plan to ship 270 to 280 million board feet of lumber and expect our average lumber price to be significantly higher in the third quarter compared to the second quarter.

The demand for our industrial grade plywood product line has been morewas adversely impactedaffected in the second quarter as these products are used in boat, recreational vehicle and furniture industries, many of which have beenwere forced to temporarily shut down. As a result, of this decreased demand, we temporarily suspended operations at our St. Maries, Idaho industrial plywood facility beginning April 20,for three weeks and ran at a reduced operating posture for the balance of the second quarter after restarting production in May. Our plywood mill returned to normal operating posture in July 2020. We will re-start our plywood facility when we have received enough orders to justify re-opening the facility, which we estimate to be sometime in May 2020. For our sawmills, we expect to continue to operate and adjust production as necessary to match demand. We have reduced our estimated range of lumber shipment volume to approximately 1.0 to 1.1. billion board feet during 2020 to reflect our best estimate of business conditions in the current environment.

In our Timberlands segment, the Northern region experienced an increase in sawlog volume in the first half of 2020 because of favorable harvest conditions compared to the prior year. Southern pine sawlog prices remain stable and our harvest volumes improved in the first half of 2020 as a result of favorable harvest conditions. However, our Southern region harvest volumes were adversely impacted by third-party mill curtailments due to COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2020. We do not anticipate making up the pulpwood shortfall during the remainder of 2020. We expect total harvest volumes to be between 1.5 and 1.7 million tons in the third quarter of 2020. Because we index a significant portionapproximately 70% of our Idaho sawlogs to the price of lumber under long-term supply agreements. The Northern region experienced anagreements, we expect Idaho sawlog prices to increase in sawlog pricing and volumesignificantly in the firstthird quarter.

On June 21, 2020, we announced an agreement to sell approximately 72,000 acres of rural timberland in Minnesota to The Conservation Fund (TCF) for approximately $48.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020 because of higher indexed lumber prices and favorable harvest conditions compared to the prior year. We continue to expect Northern harvest volumes to total about 1.8 million tons for2020.For the year, and we expect log prices to be relatively stable and similarsell 93,000 to last year. Southern pine sawlog prices have normalized and our harvest volumes improved in97,000 acres of rural land, including the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year as a result of favorable harvest conditions. Our Southern region has been adversely impacted by third-party mill closures due to COVID-19 and weather-related downtime. We expect this to result in a reduction in Southern sawlog and pulpwood volumes in the second quarter of 2020 which we do not anticipate recovering during the remainder of 2020. As such, we have revised our expected total harvest volumes to be between 5.5 and 5.8 million tons in 2020.

Our Real Estate segment benefitted during the first quarter of 2020 from increased rural acres sold and increased lot sales at Chenal Valley.72,000-acre Minnesota transaction. Residential and commercial sales in Chenal Valley mainly follow the national housing market trends but do experience microeconomic factors for the area including economic growth and the availability of builders, contractors and workforce to support development efforts. We expect the economic impacts from COVID-19 to negatively impactaffect our Chenal Valley real estate development.development sales. We estimate that we will sell between 100 and 120anticipate selling approximately 20 residential development lots during 2020. For our rural real estate business, we anticipate there will be continued stability and therefore we expect to sell between 20,000 and 23,000 rural real estate acres duringin the third quarter of 2020.    

Finally, we anticipate our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and our available sources of liquidity will be sufficientmore than adequate to meet our cash requirements. At March 31,June 30, 2020 we had approximately $79.5$81.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and availability of $379.0 million on our revolving line of credit. Additionally, expected net proceeds from the Minnesota timberlands transaction discussed above will further enhance our liquidity position and flexibility. As the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may be required to assess liquidity options available to us, including accessing our revolving line of credit, reassessing our capital allocation strategy including the funding of our quarterly dividend, or take appropriate actions such as only proceeding with operating and capital spending that is critical. See Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for further discussion of our liquidity.

FirstSecond Quarter 2020 Compared with FirstSecond Quarter 2019

Revenues

Revenues were $208.9$181.6 million, ana decrease of $34.0 million compared with the second quarter of 2019. Declines in lumber and plywood shipments, rural acres sold, and development real estate lot sales were partially offset by increases in lumber prices, Northern sawlog prices and Southern harvest volumes.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold decreased $25.8 million compared with the second quarter of 2019 due primarily to lower lumber shipments and the temporary curtailment and reduced operating posture at our plywood facility.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million compared with the second quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of mark-to-market adjustments for deferred equity compensation plans and higher estimated performance-based variable compensation.

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs increased $2.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. This increase was because prior service credits of $27.2$1.9 million per quarter were fully amortized at the end of 2019. Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs were also impacted by a decrease in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations and a decrease in expected return on plan assets.

Income taxes

Income taxes for the second quarter of 2020 was a $0.5 million income tax expense compared with $1.0 million income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2019. Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the TRS’s pre-tax income was $1.5 million. For the same period in 2019, the TRS’s loss before income tax was $6.5 million.


Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $13.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in Total Adjusted EBITDDA was driven primarily by decreased operating results in our Real Estate segment as 2019 included a large sale in Arkansas with no similar sales during the second quarter of 2020. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments.

Year to Date 2020 Compared with Year to Date 2019

Revenues

Revenues were $390.4 million, a decrease of $6.9 million compared with the first quarterhalf of 2019. Revenues increased as a result of higher lumber prices, increased lumber shipments, higher sawlog prices in the Northern Region and increased harvest volumes in both the Northern and Southern regions. Revenues also benefitted from increased rural and development real estate sales. These increases were partially offset by revenuefirst half of 2019 included revenues related to our Deltic Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) facility that waswe sold in February 2019.the first quarter of 2019 and a 1,787-acre rural real estate sale for $11,000 per acre with no similar transactions in the first half of 2020. In addition, we shipped less plywood in 2020 due to a temporary curtailment and reduced operating posture. These decreases were mostly offset by increased lumber prices, lumber shipments, sawlog prices in the Northern Region and harvest volumes.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased $17.8decreased $8.0 million compared with the first quarter ofsame period in 2019 primarily due to increased harvest activities, increased lumber shipments,the temporary curtailment and increased ruralreduced operating posture at our plywood facility during the second quarter of 2020 and development real estate sales. Cost of goods sold forbecause 2019 included approximately 1.5 months of activity related to the Deltic MDF facility.

Selling, generalFacility. These decreases were partly offset by increased harvest activities and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments for deferred incentive compensation plans.increased lumber shipments.

Gain on sale of facility

In February 2019 we closed on the sale of our Deltic MDF facility to Roseburg Forest Products Co. for $92.0 million, before certain working capital adjustments, resulting in a $9.2 million pre-tax gain on sale.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense decreased $1.8$1.3 million compared with the first quarterhalf of 2019 primarily due to the refinancing of $150.0 million of 7.5% Senior Notes (Senior Notes) during the first quarter of 2019.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

As part of athe $150.0 million Senior Notes redemption during the first quarter of 2019 we incurred a redemption premium of $4.9 million and wrote off certain unamortized debt costs.


Pension settlement charge

In February 2020 we purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $101.1 million of our outstanding pension benefit obligation related to our qualified pension plans. This transaction was funded with plan assets. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a non-cash pretax settlement charge of $43.0 million.

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs increased $2.7$5.2 million compared to the first quarterhalf of 2019. This increase was primarily due to restructuring of OPEB plans which resulted in the recognition ofbecause prior service credits of $1.9 million per quarter throughwere fully amortized at the end of 2019. Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs were also impacted by a decrease year-on-year in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations.obligations and a decrease in expected return on plan assets.

Income taxes

Income taxes for the first quarterhalf of 2020 was a $10.9$10.4 million income tax benefit compared with $1.6a $0.6 million income tax provisionexpense for the first quarterhalf of 2019. Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the TRS’s loss before income tax was $42.8$41.3 million, which included a $43.0 million pension settlement charge. For the same period in 2019, the TRS’s income before income tax was $7.2$0.7 million which included the gain on sale of the Deltic MDF facility.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the first quarterhalf of 2020 increased $19.3$5.6 million compared to the first quarterhalf of 2019. The increase in Total Adjusted EBITDDA was driven primarily by increased operating results in our Timberlands and Wood Products business segments.segments partially offset by a decrease in rural real estate acres and development lots sold in our Real Estate segment.

FirstSecond Quarter 2020 Compared with FirstSecond Quarter 2019

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the firstsecond quarter of 2020 decreased $0.5 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of the following:

Sales Price and Mix:Stronger Northern sawlog price realizations were more than offset by a shift in mix to more volume in the Southern region coupled with a decrease in Southern sawlog price realizations. This drove the unfavorable price variance. Sawlog prices in the Northern region increased 7.4%, to $101 per ton resulting from the effect of higher lumber price realizations on indexed sawlogs and favorable cedar prices in Idaho. Southern sawlog pricing decreased 8.5% compared to the second quarter of 2019, during which supply constraints caused by wet weather drove up pricing.

Harvest Volume: We harvested 963 thousand tons in the Southern region during the second quarter of 2020, which was up 18.4% compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to favorable harvest conditions compared to the second quarter of 2019 which experienced wet weather.

Year to Date 2020 Compared with Year to Date 2019

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the first half of 2020 increased $8.1$7.7 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of the following:

 

Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the Northern region increased 9.2%8.9%, to $95$98 per ton resulting from the effect of higher lumber price realization on indexed sawlogs and favorable cedar prices in Idaho. Sawlog prices in the Southern region were down slightly quartersawlog pricing decreased 6.5% year on quarter becauseyear as a result of timber supply constraints caused by wet weather which drove up pricing during the first quarterhalf of 2019.

 

Harvest Volume: We harvested 1.02.0 million tons in the Southern region during the first quarterhalf of 2020, which was up 21.4%19.9% compared to the first quarterhalf of 2019. The increase was primarily due to improved harvest conditions during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2019 which experienced wet weather conditions. Harvest volume increased 15.1%5.6% in the Northern region compared to the first half of the 2019 as a result of favorable harvest conditions as compared toin the prior year.first quarter of 2020.

FirstSecond Quarter 2020 Compared with FirstSecond Quarter 2019

Wood Products Adjusted EBITDDA for the second quarter of 2020 increased $13.0 million compared with the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of the following:  

Lumber Price: Average lumber sales prices increased to $412 per MBF compared with $378 per MBF during the second quarter of 2019.

Manufacturing Cost Per Unit:Reduced operating hours in the second quarter, particularly in April when we lost a week of production at our Warren, Arkansas sawmill due to a tornado-caused power outage, led to higher manufacturing costs per unit during the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2019.

Inventory Charge:  Lumber inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2019 was written down $7.4 million to net realizable value. There were no inventory charges at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Log Costs Per Unit: Lower log costs quarter on quarter were driven by our Southern mills which experienced higher log costs during the second quarter of 2019 because unusually wet weather constrained supply and led to increased log prices.

Residual Sales, Panels and Other:Decreased shipments at our industrial grade plywood mill as a result of a temporary production curtailment and reduced residual revenue as a result of lower sawmill production negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDDA during second quarter of 2020.

Year to Date 2020 Compared with Year to Date 2019

Wood Products Adjusted EBITDDA for the first quarterhalf of 2020 increased $6.0$19.0 million compared with the first quarter ofsame period in 2019 primarily as a result of the following:

 

Lumber Price: Average lumber sales prices increased to $396$404 per MBF compared with $380$379 per MBF during the first quarterhalf of 2019.

 

Manufacturing Cost Per Unit: Reduced overtime the last halfReduced operating hours in 2020, particularly in April when we lost a week of Marchproduction at several of our mills in responseWarren, Arkansas sawmill due to changing market conditions, combined with planned downtime for annual maintenance at one of our mills,a tornado-caused power outage, led to higher manufacturing costs per unit during the first quarter of 2020 compared to 2019.unit.

 

Log Costs Per Unit:   Log costs per unit were lower due to our Southern mills experiencing higher log costs during the first half of 2019 as unusually wet weather led to supply constraints and drove up log prices. In addition, log inventories in Idaho are built during the third and fourth quarter of each year to ensure an adequate level of log inventories for spring breakup in the first quarter of the following year when harvest activities are restricted. During the first quarterhalf of 2019, log costs per-unit in Idaho were higher than during the first quarterhalf of 2020 because indexed sawlog prices were higher during the 2018 log inventory build utilized in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the 2019 log inventory build utilized in 2020.

Inventory Charge:  Lumber inventory at the first quarterend of 2020. In addition, our Southern mills experienced higher log costs during the firstsecond quarter of 2019 because unusually wet weather resulted in supply constraints leadingwas written down $7.4 million to increased log prices.net realizable value. There were no inventory charges at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

 

Residual Sales, Panels and Other: Increased residual revenue quarter on quarter positively contributed to EBITDDA. In addition,Decreased shipments at our industrial grade plywood mill as a result of a temporary production curtailment negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDDA which more than offset impacts in 2019 from the operations at the Deltic MDF facility, which we sold in February 2019, negatively impacted EBITDDA during the first quarter of 2019.

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the firstsecond quarter of 2020 increased $4.6decreased $22.1 million compared with the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of the following:

Rural Real Estate Sales: Rural real estate sales can vary quarter-to-quarter with the average price per acre fluctuating based on both the geographic area of the real estate and product mix. The second quarter of 2019 included a sale of 1,787 acres outside of Little Rock, Arkansas for $11,000 per acre. The second quarter of 2019 also included the sale of 8,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands in Minnesota to a conservation entity representing the second part of a multi-year option with this entity. There were no comparable transactions in 2020.

Development Real Estate Sales: During the second quarter of 2020 we sold 17 residential lots at an average lot price of $97,059 at Chenal Valley compared to 44 lots at an average lot price of $85,345 during the second quarter of 2019.

Year to Date 2020 Compared with Year to Date 2019

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the first half of 2020 decreased $17.4 million compared with the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of the following:

 

Rural Real Estate Sales: The first quarterhalf of 2020 benefitted from a 2,850-acre non-strategic timberland2019 included the 1,787-acre sale in Arkansas at an average priceand the 8,000-acre non-strategic timberlands sale in Minnesota with no comparable transactions in the first half of approximately $1,400 per acre. Rural real estate sales can vary quarter-to-quarter with the average price per acre fluctuating based on both the geographic area of the real estate and product mix.2020. 

 

Development Real Estate Sales: During the first quarterhalf of 2020 we sold 2340 residential lots at an average lot price of approximately $99,700$98,550 at Chenal Valley compared to 751 lots at an average lot price of approximately $96,100$86,825 during the first quarterhalf of 2019.

Net Cash Flows from Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $29.1$20.4 million compared to the first three monthshalf of 2019. Changes in cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

 

Cash received from customers increased $33.0 million due to increased harvest$0.5 million. Harvest activities, in both the Northern and Southern regions, increased lumber prices and lumber shipments and increased rural and development real estate sales.were all higher in 2020. These increases were partiallymostly offset by cash receipts from operationsthe temporary curtailment of our industrial plywood mill during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, 2019 included an Arkansas rural land sale for $19.6 million and 1.5 months of activity at the Deltic MDF facility prior to its sale. There were no comparable activities in 2020.  

 

Cash payments to vendors increased $6.2decreased $18.6 million primarily due to increased harvest activities and production atthe temporary curtailment of our wood product facilities. Operationsindustrial plywood mill during the second quarter of 2020, whereas operations in 2019 included 1.5 months of operationsactivity at the Deltic MDF facility prior to its sale. These decreases were partly offset by payments associated with increased harvest activities.

 

Net cash paid for interest decreased $2.8$3.1 million primarily due to increased patronage dividends from our lenders and lower net interest costs as a result of refinancing our $150.0 million Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2019.

Tax payments were $1.5 million during the first half of 2020 compared to tax refunds of $0.6 million during the first half of 2019.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Changes in cash flows from investing activities were primarily a result of the following:

 

We spent $13.5$18.1 million on capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, timberland acquisitions, timberlands reforestation and road construction projects during the first three monthshalf of 2020 compared to $8.0$23.7 million during the first three monthshalf of 2019.

We spent $4.7 million on timberland acquisitions during the first half of 2020 compared to $0.3 million during the first half of 2019.

 

We received $60.0$58.8 million of net cash proceeds which was subject to post closing working capital adjustments from the Deltic MDF facility sale in February 2019. Additionally, we received $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to the satisfaction of certain covenants associated with the Deltic MDF facility sale.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Changes in cash flows from financing activities were primarily a result of the following:

 

During the first three monthshalf of 2020 we repurchased 400,917489,850 shares of our common stock totaling $12.4$15.4 million compared to 278,947686,240 shares repurchased totaling $10.2$25.2 million during the first three monthshalf of 2019. This reduced our distributions to shareholders slightly from $53.9 million in the first half of 2019 to $53.7 million in the comparable 2020 period.

 

In January 2019, we refinanced $150.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2019 with a $150.0 million variable rate term loan that will mature in 2029. Upon the refinancing, we redeemed and paid all outstanding Senior Notes, including a redemption premium of $4.9 million.

Future Cash Requirements

We invest cash in maintenance and discretionary capital expenditures at our Wood Products facilities. We also invest cash in the reforestation of timberlands and construction of roads in our Timberlands operations and to develop land in our Real Estate development operations. We evaluate discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of


return on investment. Additionally, in a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to further strategically manage our liquidity,While we reassessed our 2020 capital plan. We are focusing our capital expenditures to the most critical sustaining projects and therefore wecurrently expect to spend a total of approximately $40 to $44 million for capital expenditures during 2020.2020, we are reviewing options to pull some 2021 high return mill projects forward to this year.

In further managing our cash position and liquidity, we expect to deferWe are deferring payments of approximately $8.4 million for our 2020 employer portion of social security payroll tax and contributions to qualified pension plans as allowed under the


Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). These payments will be funded in 2021 and 2022 as required under the CARES Act.

On August 30, 2018, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of common stock with no time limit set for the repurchase. At March 31,June 30, 2020, we had remaining authorization of $62.5$59.5 million for future stock repurchase under the 2018 Repurchase Program. Stock repurchases in the future will depend on a variety of factors including our cash position, alternative investment opportunities, our desired level of liquidity, debt covenant restrictions and our stock price.

On March 31,June 21, 2020, we paid our quarterlyannounced an agreement to sell approximately 72,000 acres of rural timberland in Minnesota to The Conservation Fund (TCF) for approximately $48.0 million in cash, dividendsubject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of $0.40 per share, or $27.0 million. While we have no near-term concerns regarding our ability to fund the quarterly cash dividend, we will continually assess our liquidity requirements and capital allocation strategy.2020.

Liquidity and Performance Measures

The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures: Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD). These measures are not defined by GAAP and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described herein.

Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses in evaluating performance, to allocate resources between segments, and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. This measure should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Our definition of EBITDDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.

We reconcile Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income (loss) income for the consolidated company as it is the most comparable GAAP measure.


The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) income to Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the respective periods:

We define CAD as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and roads and timberland acquisitions not classified as strategic. Management believes CAD is a useful indicator of the company’s overall liquidity, as it provides a measure of cash generated that is available for dividends to common stockholders (an important factor in maintaining our REIT status), repurchase of the company’s common shares, debt repayment, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary activities. Our definition of CAD is limited in that it does not solely represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view CAD as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our definition of CAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.

Sources of Financing

Credit and Term Loan Agreements

At March 31,June 30, 2020, our total outstanding net long-term debt was $756.7$757.0 million, of which $46.0 million matures in December 2020. Included in total outstanding long-term debt was $693.5 million of term loansloan principal balances under our Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender. Certain borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Agreement are at variable rates of one or three-month LIBOR plus a spread between 1.85% and 2.15%. We have entered into interest rate swaps for these variable rate term loans to fix the interest rates.

At March 31,June 30, 2020 there were no borrowings under our $380.0 million revolving line of credit and approximately $1.0 million of the revolving line of credit was utilized for outstanding letters of credit. As provided in the revolving line of credit agreement, borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $420.0 million. We may utilize borrowings under the


credit facility to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions and other general corporate expenditures.


As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants. The following table sets forth the financial covenants in the credit and term loan agreements and our status with respect to these covenants as of March 31,June 30, 2020:

Contractual Obligations

In March 2020, we entered into $653.5 million of forward starting interest rate swaps. These forward starting interest rate swaps effectively hedge the variability in future benchmark interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates on future debt refinancing. We entered into these forward starting interest rate swaps in order to lock inrefinancing by locking fixed interest rates on our anticipated future refinancing of $653.5 million of term loan debt maturing December 2020 through January 2029. The fixed interest ratesrate components for these forward starting interest rate swaps range from 0.85% to 1.17%. The variable rate component on these forward starting interest rate swaps is 1-month LIBOR. Accordingly, the forward starting rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, these cash flow hedges require settlement on the stated maturity date for each respective term loan currently outstanding. See Note 9: Derivatives in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other than these new forward starting interest rate swaps there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 outside the ordinary course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes during 2020 to our critical accounting policies presented in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risk exposure on financial instruments includes interest rate risk on our bank credit facility, term loans, interest rate swap agreements and forward-starting interest rate swap agreements. We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regards toon existing variable rate debt instruments and future incurrences of fixed or variable rate debt, which exposure primarily relates to movements in various interest rates. We use interest rate swaps and forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on existing debt and future debt issuances, respectively. All market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading purposes.  

At March 31,June 30, 2020, we have six interest rate swaps associated with $397.5 million of term loan debt. The cash flow hedges convert variable rates ranging from three-month and one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% to 2.15%, to fixed rates ranging from 3.17% to 4.82%. Our cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged interest rate risk through the term of the hedge.  

In March 2020, we entered into $653.5 million of forward starting interest rate swaps. These forward starting interest rate swaps effectively hedge the variability in future benchmark interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates on future debt refinancing. We entered into these forward starting interest rate swaps in order to lock inrefinancing by locking fixed interest rates on our anticipated future refinancing of $653.5 million of term loan debt maturing December 2020 through January 2029. The fixed interest ratesrate components for these forward starting interest rate swaps range from 0.85% to 1.17%. The variable rate component on these forward starting interest rate swaps is one-month LIBOR. Accordingly, the forward starting rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, these cash flow hedges require settlement on the stated maturity date for each respective term loan currently outstanding.

At March 31,June 30, 2020, we hadthe total outstanding principal balance on our debt agreements was $762.2 million in principal debt outstanding.million. Interest rates on all outstanding debt is fixed, either through a fixed interest rate or corresponding interest rate swap.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31,June 30, 2020. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2020.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

We believe there is no pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business and results of operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. There have been no material changes inThe following discussion supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 except for the addition of the risk factor discussed below. In addition to the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic discussed in the risk factor below, the COVID-19 pandemic may have the effect of increasing other risks disclosed in the Risk Factors section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy is adversely affecting and is expected to continue to adversely affect our business and financial results and should be considered carefully, in addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019, including under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Events beyond our control such as pandemics (including the COVID-19 outbreak) could negatively impact our business.

OnIn March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. On March 13, 2020,Shortly thereafter, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities havesubsequently declared public health emergencies. Along with theseThese declarations there have been extraordinary and wide-rangingresulted in a wide-range of actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the U.S., includingCOVID-19.Such actions included quarantines, and “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. These restrictions have prevented or significantly restricted us, our employees, vendors and customers from conducting some or all business activities for an indefinite period of time. Under the governmental restrictions put in place, to date, our Timberlands and Wood Products segments have beenwere designated as an essential business in statestates that havehad issued stay-at-home orders and as such, we plan to continuehave continued to operate each of our businesses at full capacity where market conditions allow while maintaining the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers and customers. TheseThis outbreak has spread widely throughout the United States and while governmental restrictions began to ease by the end of the second quarter in several states, they are subject to change however, and may, depending on direction from local authorities and the pandemic’s effects on our workforce,the public, require us, our suppliers or our customers to limit or suspend operations.

We have introduced measures to protect the health and well-being of our workforce and customers. Such measures include, among other things, encouraging office employees to work remotely where their duties allow, restricting travel and group meetings, increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting, screening visitors and vendors at our locations, implementing mask-wearing protocols, and requiring physical distancing where it is practical. However, such measures will not be sufficient to eliminate all exposure to the COVID-19 virus. We have experienced exposure to the virus at certain of our facilities. We have implemented plans and procedures in the event of a workplace exposure to aid in the protection of our workforce including a temporary shutdown of certain production areas in the facility in order to perform proper cleaning and disinfection procedures. If additional exposures to the virus occur in the future we may be required to temporarily shut down certain operations for additional cleaning and disinfecting.

Pandemics, such as COVID-19, that bring about widespread national or global economic hardship, have had and will have negative impacts on pricing and demand for our timber, lumber, and real estate businesses. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable reductions in demand for certain of our products. As a result of reduced demand, we have had to suspend certain production,products and we expect to continue to adjust production as necessary to match demand. A recession, further market correction, or depression resulting fromThere have been adverse effects on the spread of COVID-19 could materially affectdemand for our products and disruptions to our supply chain, the business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, our stock pricemanufacturing and access to capital markets. 

Additionally, although we have not had to do so to date, we may be required to temporarily shut down certain operations for cleaning and disinfecting if an exposure occurs. We have introduced measures to protect the health and well-beingdistribution of our workforcetimber and customers. Such measures include encouraging office employees to work remotely where their duties allow, restrict travelwood products and group meetings, increased frequencydemand for our real estate properties, all of cleaning and disinfecting, screening visitors and vendors at our locations, and physical distancing where it is practical. We have plans and provisions in placewhich could worsen in the event we have COVID-19 exposure in the workplace. However, such measures may not be sufficient to eliminate all exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

future. We are actively monitoring the recent COVID-19 outbreak and its potential impact on our operations, workforce, supply chain and our consolidated results of operations. The impact from the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to negatively impact our consolidated financial statements in the second quarter and in later periods of 2020 as we believe pricing and demand will continue to be under pressure in the near term. However, due to various uncertainties, including the severity of the virus’s impact on the economy, the duration of the outbreak, and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities our

Our predictions about the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, financial condition, or results of operations may not be accurate.accurate as they depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Such developments include, but are not limited to, the severity of the virus’s impact on the economy, the future geographic spread or mutation of COVID-19 or the outbreak of another virulent disease, continuation of or changes in governmental responses to disease outbreak, the duration of disease outbreak, the timing and effectiveness of treatment and testing options, including availability of a vaccine, and consequential restrictions, business disruptions, the effectiveness of responsive actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain the disease and actions that may be taken by our competitors, suppliers or customers. A recession, further market correction, or depression resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, our


stock price and access to capital markets. The impact of COVID-19 or other virulent disease may also trigger the occurrence, or exacerbate, other risks discussed in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition.
