Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Company” or “Deltic”). Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management of the Company believes the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly its financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value on the acquisition date using appropriate valuation methods. The operations of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. (For additional information, see Note 4 – Business Combinations.)
Recently Issued Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance

Note 4 – Business Combinations
On April 1, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 50 percent membership interest of Del-Tin Fiber L.L.C. (“Del-Tin Fiber”) for an agreed-upon amount of approximately $20,000,000 which was considered to be comprised of a cash payment of $5,170,000 and the value of 50 percent of the long-term debt. Del-Tin Fiber was an existing joint venture that operates a medium density fiberboard (“MDF”) manufacturing facility in El Dorado, Arkansas. This facility has a rated annual production capacity of 150,000,000 square feet, on a 3⁄4 inch basis. The acquisition resulted in Deltic obtaining a controlling financial interest in Del-Tin Fiber due to the Company’s 100 percent ownership of the membership interest of Del-Tin Fiber. As a result, Deltic began treating Del-Tin Fiber as a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as of the acquisition date. With this consolidation, on April 1, 2013, Deltic’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included the $29,000,000 of long-term debt of Del-Tin Fiber, which represents the L.L.C.’s recorded liability for the outstanding industrial bonds due in 2027. This acquisition was consistent with Deltic’s strategy of growth through acquisitions and vertical integration, since Del-Tin Fiber uses residual by-products generated by Deltic’s sawmill operations as the raw material in its manufacturing process.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 4 – Business Combinations (cont.)
Prior to this acquisition, the Company owned 50 percent of the membership interest of Del-Tin Fiber, and reported it as an equity method investment. In accordance with ASC 805, Deltic accounted for the acquisition as a business combination achieved in stages. Thus, the Company remeasured the carrying amount of its previously held investment in the joint venture to current fair value, and recorded a $3,165,000 pretax remeasurement gain, determined by the amount by which the acquisition-date fair value of this investment, of $10,786,000, exceeded its previous carrying amount of $7,621,000. This gain was included in Other Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The acquisition date fair value of the Company’s existing 50 percent equity interest in Del-Tin Fiber was derived by applying the ownership percentage to the fair value of the net assets of Del-Tin Fiber. It was determined that no discounting was required, since prior to the acquisition, there was equally shared control of the joint venture by the owning members without specific benefit identified that related to the existence of control. In addition, Deltic continues to operate the existing facility to produce MDF.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined using a combination of various methodologies, as appropriate, depending on the asset type and classification. Current assets and liabilities were valued at book value since carrying value approximated fair value. Property, plant, and equipment assets were valued under various methodologies, including the market approach using comparable sales for real estate and the cost approach discounted for obsolescence for plant and equipment. Intangible assets were valued using the discounted income approach and using a discount rate of 15 percent. Long-term debt was valued at book value since it approximated fair value. There was no tax deductible goodwill as a result of the Del-Tin Fiber acquisition.
The total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition and is presented in the table below. The purchase price allocation and gain on bargain purchase are preliminary estimates and are subject to change during the measurement period as the deferred taxes related to the acquired assets are finalized.

The preliminary purchase price allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date and the calculation of the gain on bargain purchase were as follows:
(Thousands of dollars) | | | |
| | | |
Accounts receivable | $ | 4,229 | |
Inventories | | 4,805 | |
Other current assets | | 360 | |
Property, plant, and equipment | | 40,960 | |
Intangible assets1 | | 1,700 | |
Other assets | | 171 | |
Current liabilities | | (1,653 | ) |
Deferred tax liabilities | | (2,331 | ) |
Long-term liabilities | | (29,000 | ) |
Net assets acquired | | 19,241 | |
Cash paid | | (5,170 | ) |
Fair value of previously held investment in Del-Tin Fiber | | (10,786 | ) |
Gain on bargain purchase | $ | 3,285 | |
1The acquired intangible assets consist of internally developed software which is being amortized over three years.
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $3,285,000, which was included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The gain on bargain purchase was the result of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price paid for the acquisition. The seller, Deltic’s former joint venture partner, was motivated to sell its half of Del-Tin Fiber in order to facilitate the sale of its remaining building products business to a major building products company that had no interest in owning a membership interest in a joint venture. This sale was part of the former joint venture partner’s stated plan to divest itself of its building product assets by the end of the year 2013.
Transaction costs related to the acquisition of Del-Tin Fiber were insignificant and were expensed as incurred. The cash paid to the seller at the closing of the acquisition was funded by cash on hand.
The results of Del-Tin Fiber’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements subsequent to the acquisition date and were included in the Company’s Manufacturing segment. Subsequent to the acquisition date, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company included net sales of approximately $17,156,000 and $34,593,000, respectively from Del-Tin Fiber in its Consolidated Statements of Income. Deltic’s operating income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, included $2,440,000 and $3,911,000, respectively, from Del-Tin Fiber operations.

| $ | 249,192 | | | | 240,215 | |
In 1999, the Company initiated a program to identify and sell non-strategic timberlands and use the sales proceeds to purchase pine timberlands that are strategic to its operations. In 2008, Deltic identified approximately 10,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands that existed within its timberlands base to be sold. Other non-strategic acreage exists within the Company’s land base, but Deltic has not completely identified the number of acres that fit within this category. As the Company identifies these acres and determines that they are either smaller tracts of pine timberlands that cannot be strategically managed or tracts of hardwood bottomland that cannot be converted into pine growing acreage, they will be sold. Included in the Woodlands operating income were gains from sales of non-strategic timberland of $190,000 and $305,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and $1,548,000 and $942,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 9 – Credit Facilities and Debt
On May 2, 2013, the Company amended and extended its unsecured and committed revolving credit agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the amount was increased from $297,500,000 to $340,000,000; the term was extended to May 1, 2018; and the pricing of applicable margins and commitment fees were amended. To facilitate the amendment, the Company incurred $765,000 in fees that will be amortized over the length of the agreement, together with the remaining unamortized costs of $617,000 from the previous amendment.
With consolidation of Del-Tin Fiber into the Company’s financial statements on April 1, 2013, Deltic’s long-term debt includes $29,000,000 in Union County, Arkansas Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds (Del-Tin Fiber project) 1998 Series due October 1, 2027, (the “Bonds”). Prior to the April 1, 2013 acquisition of Del-Tin Fiber, Deltic was a guarantor of one-half of the letter of credit supporting the bonds. These Bonds bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly by the remarketing agent of the Bonds. Interest is due on the first business day of the month, and all unpaid interest and all principal is due on October 1, 2027. The average interest rate on the Bonds was .70 percent in 2012 and .87 percent in 2011.
Note 10 – Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, was 32 percent. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $76,000 in interest expense from these items. The Company had approximately $558,000 accrued in deferred revenues and other accrued liabilities for interest and penalties at September 30, 2013. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the balance sheet, approximately $776,000 would benefit the effective rate. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

This amount changes over time based on changes in the fair market value of the Company’s stock. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1,139,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement Accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets on identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Nonqualified employee savings plan– Consists of mutual funds, which are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the plan at the balance sheet date, at quoted market prices.
The fair value measurements for the Company’s financial liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013, are presented in the following table:
| | | | Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using | |
| | September 30, 2013 | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities Inputs Level 1 | | | Significant Observable Inputs Level 2 | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3 | |

Nonqualified employee savings plan | | $ | 1,221 | | | 1,221 | | | | – | | | | – | |
Long-term debt, including current liabilities – The fair value is estimated by discounting the scheduled debt payment streams to present value based on market rates for which the Company’s debt could be valued.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and 2012. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities, except current maturities of long-term debt, all of which have fair values approximating carrying values.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
The Company reported net income of $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $3.2 million for the same period of 2012. The increase was due to improved financial results for Deltic’s Manufacturing segment, as the operating income for the segment was $5.8 million higher in the third quarter of 2013 than the same quarter a year ago. The improvement in the Manufacturing segment financial results was primarily due to a 19 percent higher average sales price for lumber sold and an increased lumber sales volume, combined with a $2.4 million benefit from consolidating Del-Tin Fiber L.L.C. (“Del-Tin Fiber”) into the Manufacturing segment. The Woodlands segment reported operating income of $3.9 million, a decrease of $.8 million from the $4.7 million reported a year ago, mainly due to a lower harvest volume of pine sawtimber and pulpwood. The Real Estate segment had an operating loss of $.7 million, compared to loss of $.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, due to a decrease in residential lot sales. Corporate segment general and administrative expense was the same for both periods.
Deltic is a vertically integrated natural resources company engaged primarily in the growing and harvesting of timber and the manufacture and marketing of lumber and medium density fiberboard (“MDF”), with a significant diversification in real estate development. The Company’s operations and financial results are affected by a number of factors, including general economic conditions, employment levels, interest rates, credit availability and associated costs, imports of lumber and MDF, foreign exchange rates, housing starts, new and existing home inventories, residential and commercial real estate foreclosures, residential repair and remodeling, commercial construction, industry capacity and production levels, the availability of raw materials, natural gas pricing, and weather conditions. Permits for new-home construction rose to a five-year high in August 2013, indicating that the recovery of the housing market was still ongoing. This led to a steady demand for lumber throughout the 2013 summer building season. Thus, producers received higher average sales prices than experienced a year ago. However, in anticipation of the level of housing starts rising to the rate of one million per year, some lumber producers began the process of bringing shuttered lumber mills back into production, while others are making capital improvements to operating mills to increase their production volume. Due to the Company’s relative size, it has little or no control over pricing or demand levels for its lumber or MDF products. Because of this, the Company continues to focus its attention on managing Deltic’s diverse asset base to capture market-driven opportunities by increasing its timberland base and investing in capital projects in its manufacturing facilities to increase their hourly productivity and improve other efficiencies, while reducing controllable costs and expenses.
The Woodlands segment is the Company’s core operating segment, providing the foundation for Deltic’s vertical integration structure. In the third quarter of 2013, the pine sawtimber harvest was 161,132 tons, a decrease of 14,383 tons when compared to the 2012 third quarter harvest of 175,515 tons. The decrease was due to a difference in the timing of the harvest. The average sales price for pine sawtimber was $21 per ton in the third quarter of both 2013 and 2012. The third quarter of 2013’s pine pulpwood harvest of 96,519 tons was a decrease of 10,975 tons from the harvest in the third quarter of 2012. The average sales price for pine pulpwood was $7 per ton in the third quarter of 2013, which was $1 per ton less than in the same period last year. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company sold 254 acres of recreational-use hardwood bottomland, at an average sales price of $1,300 per acre, compared to sales of 195 acres at an average price of $2,000 per acre for the same period of 2012.
The financial results for the Woodlands segment included other benefits from land ownership, such as revenues from hunting leases, mineral lease rentals, mineral royalties, and land easements. Hunting lease income was $.6 million for the third quarter of both 2013 and 2012. In the third quarter of 2013, oil and gas lease rental income was $.4 million, a decrease of $.2 million from the same period of 2012, as the original lease period on some acreage has ended and most of these properties are now held by producing wells. Oil and gas royalty payments, which are primarily from gas wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play, were $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, a $.4 million increase from 2012, primarily due to an increase in natural gas prices, partially offset by a decreased production volume from existing wells. The ultimate benefit to Deltic from mineral leases remains speculative and unknown since it is contingent on natural gas and crude oil prices and the successful completion of producing wells drilled on Company lands.
24
The Manufacturing segment produces both dimension lumber and MDF. The average lumber sales price in the third quarter of 2013 was $381 per thousand board feet (“MBF”), an increase of $60 per MBF, or 19 percent, when compared to the same period in 2012. The Manufacturing segment sold 69.5 million board feet (“MMBF”) of lumber in the third quarter of 2013, a two percent increase, when compared to 68.3 MMBF sold in the third quarter a year ago. The average sales price for MDF during the current year’s third quarter was $585 per thousand square feet (“MSF”). MDF sales volume was 28.2 million square feet (“MMSF”). During the same quarter of 2012 when Del-Tin Fiber was a joint venture equity investment, the average sales price for MDF received by Del-Tin Fiber was $542 per MSF, and Del-Tin Fiber sold 30.5 MMSF of MDF. The 2.3 MMSF reduction in MDF sales volume was due to a softening in the demand for MDF in the current-year third quarter. The Manufacturing segment operates in commodity based markets that have historically been volatile and expects the volatility to continue in the future. As such, Deltic will continue to adjust production levels to meet lumber and MDF market demand.
The Real Estate segment sold 16 residential lots during the third quarter of 2013, four fewer lots than sold in the third quarter of 2012. However, the Company offered 25 newly developed lots for sale in early October 2013, and 22 of these lots, or 88 percent, were put under contract the day they were offered and are anticipated to close over the next 120 days. The success of this offering reflects the growing confidence in the recovery of housing by area homebuilders. The average sales price was $70,000 per lot in 2013 compared to an average sales price of $71,300 per lot in 2012’s third quarter. While there were no commercial acreage sales in the third quarter of either year, commercial real estate acreage within Chenal Valley continues to receive interest from potential buyers. Property located near “The Promenade at Chenal,” an upscale shopping center that includes internationally branded retailers, and property located adjacent to St. Vincent West, a new medical center, are areas of expected activity. However, due to the unpredictable nature of commercial real estate sales activity, the Company cannot predict the timing of closing of any commercial real estate transaction.

1For thethird quarter of 2013, Del-Tin Fiber’s results were consolidated into the Manufacturing segment, while during the third quarter of 2012, results from Del-Tin Fiber were reported in equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber.
Consolidated
Current-quarter net income increased $2.7 million from the third quarter of 2012, mainly due to improved financial results for the Manufacturing segment as the housing recovery continued to support improved prices and demand for lumber and MDF. This increase was offset by reduced operating income for the Woodlands and Real Estate segments, combined with higher income tax expense due to increased pretax income.
Operating income increased $4.5 million in 2013’s third quarter when compared to the third quarter of 2012. The Woodlands segment’s operating income was $.8 million less than in the prior year due to a decrease in harvest volume of both sawtimber and pulpwood, partially offset by an increase in net oil and gas royalty revenue. The Manufacturing segment’s operating income improved $5.8 million due to a higher average sales price per MBF of lumber sold and the inclusion of Del-Tin Fiber’s operating results for the third quarter of 2013. The Real Estate segment’s results decreased $.1 million due to a decrease in the number of residential lots sold in the current-year quarter. Corporate expense was the same for both periods.

Sales volume (acres) | | 254 | | | | 195 | |
Sales price (per acre) | $ | 1,269 | | | | 2,042 | |
Net sales decreased $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 when compared to the third quarter of 2012. Pine sawtimber revenue was $.4 million lower due to an eight percent decrease in harvest volume, resulting from a difference in timing of the Company’s annual harvest, while the average per-ton pine sawtimber sales price was the same for both quarters. Pine pulpwood revenues were $.2 million less due to fewer tons of pulpwood harvested in the current-year quarter. The decrease in pulpwood harvested was due to the composition of the timberland being harvested. Revenue from oil and gas royalty payments was higher because of an increase in the average price received for natural gas, partially offset by lower gas production volumes. Oil and gas lease rental revenues were lower due to the expiration of the original lease period on some net mineral acreage and those acres now being held by production. Revenue from hauling stumpage to other mills was $.5 million lower in the third quarter of 2013 versus the same period of 2012. Operating income was $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. This was due to the same factors that affected net sales, along with an increase in the cost of timber harvested and lower cost of hauling stumpage to other mills.

2Information presented for 2012 represents the totals for the Del-Tin Fiber joint venture and was previously presented as information for an equity investment.
Net sales in 2013’s third quarter increased $21.2 million when compared to the same period of 2012. Additional revenues from the inclusion of Del-Tin Fiber in the Manufacturing segment in the current-year quarter were $17.1 million, consisting of MDF sales along with related freight revenues, net of eliminated sawmill residual sales to Del-Tin Fiber. Sales revenues from sawmill operations increased $4.1 million due primarily to an increase in the average sales price and sales volume for lumber. The average lumber sales price in the third quarter of 2013 increased $60 per MBF, or 19 percent, from the third quarter of 2012, while lumber sales volume in the current-year quarter was 1.2 MMBF higher than a year ago. The average sales price for MDF in the third quarter of 2013 increased $43 per MSF, or eight percent, from the same period of 2012, while MDF sales volume in the third quarter of 2013 was 2.3 MMSF lower than the same period a year ago. Operating income increased $5.8 million, with approximately $3.4 million due primarily to the increase in the average lumber price and $2.4 million attributed to the consolidation of Del-Tin Fiber’s financial results.

Residential lots | $ | 70 | | | | 71 | |
Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $.4 million from the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was due primarily to fewer residential lots sold in the current-year quarter. The current-period operating loss was $.1 million higher than in 2012 due to the same factors affecting net sales.
Corporate
Operating expense for Corporate functions was $4.9 million during the third quarters of both 2013 and 2012.
Eliminations
Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment during the third quarter of 2013 decreased $.3 million, to $3.5 million when compared to the same quarter of last year. The decrease was due to a slightly lower harvest volume from the Woodlands segment’s fee timberlands. Current-period transfer prices are approximately that of market which were equal to the same quarter last year.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 32 percent for 2013’s third quarter and 30 percent for the same period of 2012. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the current year’s third quarter was primarily due to the effect of higher pretax income on permanent book/tax differences.

1Del-Tin Fiber’s results were consolidated into the Manufacturing segment beginning April 1, 2013, while during 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, the results of the 50 percent ownership were reported in equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber.
Consolidated
Net income for the first nine months of 2013 increased $17.1 million due to improved financial results for the Manufacturing and Real Estate segments, increased pre-acquisition equity earnings from Del-Tin Fiber for the first quarter of 2013, and recognized gains related to the acquisition of Del-Tin Fiber, partially offset by an increase in Corporate segment general and administrative and interest expense and increased income tax expense due to higher pretax income.
Operating income increased $18.6 million in 2013 from the operating income for the first nine months of 2012. Manufacturing segment operating income increased $20 million due primarily to a higher average lumber sales price, the inclusion of the financial results of Del-Tin Fiber beginning on April 1, 2013, and a gain on involuntary conversion of assets. The Real Estate segment operating loss decreased $.5 million due to increased sales of residential lots. Corporate expense increased $.9 million due to increased general and administrative expenses.

Sales of pine sawtimber increased $.2 million, while combined net sales from pine pulpwood, hardwood sawtimber and hardwood pulpwood were $1.1 million lower in 2013 when compared to 2012, due to lower harvest volumes. The decrease in harvest volume was due to the composition of the timberland being harvested. Sales of timberland were $1.1 million higher in 2013 due to the number of acres sold, partially offset by a lower average sales price per acre. Oil and gas lease rentals were $.4 million lower in the first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same period of 2012, due to the expiration of the original lease periods without lease renewals or to leaseholds now being held by producing wells. Oil and gas royalty revenues increased $.3 million in 2013, due to higher prices for natural gas, partially offset by lower production volumes from wells in which Deltic holds a royalty interest. Revenue from hauling stumpage to other mills was $1.6 million lower in 2013 when compared to 2012. Operating income was $13.4 million, $.8 million lower than the same period of 2012, due to the same factors affecting net sales, combined with higher replanting costs on fee timberlands and lower freight expenses for hauling stumpage to other mills in 2013.

1Prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the 2013 presentation. Intrasegment residual sales have been eliminated.
2Information presented for 2012 represents the totals for the Del-Tin Fiber joint venture and was previously presented as information for an equity investment.
3Year-to-date amounts include first quarter 2013, when Del-Tin Fiber was an equity method investment.
Net sales increased $48.5 million primarily due to a higher average lumber sales price and the consolidation of the results of Del-Tin Fiber in the Manufacturing segment since April 1, 2013. Lumber Sales revenues at the sawmills increased $14 million, mainly due to the increase in the average lumber sales price. The additional revenues from the consolidation of Del-Tin Fiber in the Manufacturing segment since April 1, 2013 were $34.5 million, net of the eliminated residual sales. The average sales price for lumber increased $90 per MBF, or 30 percent, from 2012. This was partially offset by a sales volume decrease of four percent. The MDF average sales price increased $63 per MSF, or 12 percent, from the first nine months of 2012, while MDF sales volume decreased 7 percent. Operating income increased $20 million from the same period of 2012, with $15.2 million of the improvement due to the increased average sales price for lumber sold, $.9 million due to the gain on involuntary conversion of assets at the Ola Mill, and $3.9 million due to the financial results of Del-Tin Fiber being consolidated into the Manufacturing segment.

Real Estate
Selected financial and statistical data for the Real Estate segment is shown in the following table.
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Net sales (millions of dollars) | | | | | | | |
Residential lots | $ | 3.7 | | | | 2.6 | |

Average sales price (thousands of dollars) | | | | | | | |
Residential lots | $ | 74 | | | | 70 | |
Speculative homes | | — | | | | 491 | |
2013’s net sales increased $.5 million when compared to net sales in 2012 due primarily to an increase in the number of residential lots sold and a higher average sales price per lot, partially offset by the lack of revenue from home sales in 2013. The improvement in Real Estate segment operating results was due mainly to the same factors affecting net sales, combined with lower operating expense.
Corporate
Operating expense for the Corporate segment was $.9 million higher during the first nine months of 2013 versus 2012, mainly due to increased general and administrative expense, consisting of professional fees incurred related to the acquisition of Del-Tin Fiber and increased employee incentive plan expenses resulting from increased net income.
Eliminations
Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment increased $.3 million to $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2013. The increase was mainly due to a slightly higher per-ton transfer price. Logs supplied by the Woodlands segment to Company sawmills are transferred at prices that approximate market.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 32 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $34 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $21 million for the same period of 2012. Cash from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility have provided the cash needed for capital expenditures, the acquisition of Del-Tin Fiber, and purchases of treasury shares. Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents, provided cash of $1.2 million for the nine months ended
33
September 30, 2013 and $3.9 million for the same period in 2012. The Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows identifies other differences between net income and cash provided by operating activities for each reporting period.
Capital expenditures required cash of $24.4 million for the nine-month period in the current year and $8.2 million a year ago. Capital expenditures by segment consisted of the following:

��
Effective April 1, 2013, Deltic acquired the other half of Del-Tin Fiber from its former joint venture partner for $5.2 million in cash. Del-Tin Fiber is now treated as a consolidated subsidiary of Deltic. In the first three months of 2013, prior to Deltic’s acquisition of the other 50 percent ownership in Del-Tin Fiber, Deltic advanced $1 million to Del-Tin Fiber and received repayments of $.8 million. This compares to advances of $1.7 million and repayments of $1.8 million from Del-Tin Fiber in the first nine months of 2012. The net change in purchased stumpage inventory to be utilized in the Company’s sawmilling operations required cash of $1.9 million in 2013, but no cash in 2012. Funds held by trustees to be used for acquisitions of timberland designated as “replacement property” for income tax purposes, as required for tax-deferred exchanges, decreased $.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while there was negligible change in 2013. The Company borrowed $12 million and repaid $10 million of debt in the first nine months of 2013 and made net repayments of debt of $11.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. The Company incurred $.8 million in fees to facilitate an amendment and extension of its unsecured and committed revolving credit facility in 2013, while there were no such costs in 2012. Dividends of $3.8 million were paid in the first nine months of 2013, with $2.8 million paid in the same period of 2012. Combined proceeds from exercises of stock options and related tax benefits were $1.2 million in both 2013 and 2012. The Company used $2.2 million in cash provided by operations to fund purchases of 36,180 shares of its stock in the third quarter of 2013.
Financial Condition
Working capital totaled $10.6 million at September 30, 2013, and $5.6 million at December 31, 2012. Deltic’s working capital ratio at September 30, 2013 was 1.46 to 1, compared to 1.43 to 1 at the end of 2012. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2013 were $6 million, an increase of $.4 million from the December 31, 2012 balance of $5.6 million. Deltic’s long-term debt to stockholders’ equity ratio was .373 to 1 at September 30, 2013 and .271 to 1 at December 31, 2012.
Liquidity
The primary sources of the Company’s liquidity are internally generated funds, access to outside financing, and working capital. The Company’s current strategy for growth continues to emphasize its timberland acquisition program, in addition to expanding lumber production as market conditions allow and developing residential and/or commercial properties at Chenal Valley and Red Oak Ridge.
34
To facilitate these growth plans, the Company has an agreement with a group of banks, which provides an unsecured and committed revolving credit facility. The agreement was amended and extended on May 2, 2013 and will expire on May 1, 2018. The Amendment increased the total available credit to $340 million. In addition, the agreement includes an option to request an increase in the amount of aggregate revolving commitments by $50 million. As of September 30, 2013, $315 million was available. The credit agreement contains restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and requirements to maintain certain financial ratios. (For additional information about the Company’s current financing arrangements, refer to Note 9 to the September 30, 2013 consolidated financial statements and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2012 annual report on Form 10-K.)
The table below sets forth the covenants in the credit facility and senior notes payable and status with respect to these covenants as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Covenants Requirements | | | | Actual Ratios at Sept. 30, 2013 | | | | Actual Ratios at Dec. 31, 2012 | |
Leverage ratio should be less than:1 | | | .60 to 1 | | | | .273 to 1 | | | | .253 to 1 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total outstanding debt as a percentage of total debt allowed based on the minimum timber market value covenant:2 | | | _2 | | | | 50.22 | % | | | 44.15 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fixed charge coverage ratio should be greater than:3 | | | 2.50 to 1 | | | | 9.37 to 1 | | | | 5.39 to 1 | |
| |
1 | The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total capital. Total debt includes indebtedness for borrowed money, secured liabilities, obligations in respect of letters of credit, and guarantees. Total capital is the sum of total debt and net worth. Net worth is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities, as reflected on the balance sheet. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter. The revolving credit facility requirement is for the leverage ratio to be less than .65 to 1. |
| |
2 | Timber market value must be greater than 200 percent of total debt (as defined in (1) above.) The timber market value is calculated by multiplying the average price received for sales of timber for the preceding four quarters by the current quarter’s ending inventory of timber. This covenant is applied at the end of the quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis. The revolving credit facility requirement is for the timber market value to be greater than 175 percent of total debt (as defined in (1) above.) |
| |
3 | The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization) increased by non-cash compensation expense and other non-cash expenses and decreased by dividends paid and income tax paid, divided by the sum of interest expense and scheduled principal payments made on debt during the period. This covenant is applied at the end of the quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis. This covenant only applies to the Senior Notes Payable. |
Based on management’s current operating projections, the Company believes it will remain in compliance with the debt covenants and have sufficient liquidity to finance operations and pay all obligations. However, depending on market conditions and the possibility of the return of economic deterioration, the Company could request amendments, or waivers for the covenants, or obtain refinancing in future periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain amendments or waivers, or negotiate agreeable refinancing terms should it become needed.
35
In December 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of Deltic common stock. In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the program by $25 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had expended $16.8 million under this program, with the purchase of 406,694 shares at an average cost of $41.23 per share. In 2013, 36,180 shares have been purchased at an average cost of $61.22 per share, while there were no shares purchased in 2012. In its two previous repurchase programs, Deltic purchased 479,601 shares at an average cost of $20.89 per share and 419,542 shares at a $24.68 per share average cost, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments
The Company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans that cover the majority of its employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Deltic also has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted as needed; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. With regards to all of the Company’s employee and retiree benefit plans, Deltic is unaware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. (For information about material assumptions underlying the accounting for these plans and other components of the plans, refer to Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2012 annual report on Form 10-K.)

Outlook
Deltic’s management believes that cash provided from its operations and the remaining amount available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its expected cash needs and planned expenditures, including those of the Company’s continued timberland acquisition, real estate development, and stock repurchase programs, and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2012 annual report on Form 10-K, and this disclosure should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.
Impact of Recently Effective Accounting Pronouncements
(For information regarding the impact of recently effective accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.)
Outlook
Pine sawtimber harvest levels are expected to be 95,000 to 105,000 tons in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 595,000 to 605,000 tons for the year. Finished lumber sales volumes are estimated at 55 to 70 million board feet for the fourth quarter and 240 to 270 million board feet for the year. MDF sales volumes for the fourth quarter and year of 2013 are estimated to be 25 to 30 million square feet and 110 to 120 million square feet, respectively. Actual lumber and MDF sales volumes are subject to market conditions. Residential lot sales are projected to be 10 to 20 lots and 60 to 70 lots for the fourth quarter and the year, respectively. Even though commercial acreage in Chenal Valley has received interest from potential buyers, it is difficult to anticipate future closings due to the volatile nature of commercial real estate transactions and the significant number of factors related to any sale.
Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical in nature constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
