WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On November 8, 2015, Weyerhaeuser Company ("Company" or "Weyerhaeuser") announced that the board authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives for its Cellulose Fibers business segment. On May 1, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our Cellulose Fibers pulp business ("Pulp Business") to International Paper Company. The Pulp Business consists of five pulp mills located in Columbus, Mississippi; Flint River, Georgia; New Bern, North Carolina; Port Wentworth, Georgia and Grande Prairie, Alberta, and two modified fiber mills located in Columbus, Mississippi and Gdansk, Poland.
On June 15, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our Cellulose Fibers liquid packaging board business ("Liquid Packaging Business") to Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd. The Liquid Packaging Business consisted of one mill located in Longview, Washington.
On October 4, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our newsprint and printing papers business ("Printing Papers Business") to One Rock Capital Partners, LLC, which includes a mill located in Longview, Washington.
The sale of the Liquid Packaging Business closed on August 31, 2016. The sale of the Printing Papers Business closed on November 1, 2016. We expect the sale of the Pulp Business to close in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect to the completion of the separation of Weyerhaeuser’s Cellulose Fibers business in the transactions described above (the “Transactions”) and are based on and should be read in conjunction with Weyerhaeuser’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Weyerhaeuser’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements filed in Weyerhaeuser’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended September 30, 2016. The presentation in these pro forma condensed combined financial statements combines the effect of the sale of the Liquid Packaging Business, the Printing Papers Business and the expected sale of the Pulp Business because we believe that aggregating these related businesses, which together comprise our Cellulose Fibers business segment, is the most useful presentation for investors.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2016. The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings data gives effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes adjustments directly attributable to the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and assumptions that are factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Transactions had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of Weyerhaeuser.
