NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE QUARTERS AND YEAR-TO-DATE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including:
• | majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries and |
• | variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. |
They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated.
We account for investments in and advances to unconsolidated equity affiliates using the equity method, with taxes provided on undistributed earnings. This means that we record earnings and accrue taxes in the period earnings are recognized by our unconsolidated equity affiliates.
We report our financial results and condition in two groups:
• | Forest Products – our forest products-based operations, principally the growing and harvesting of timber, the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products and corporate governance activities; and |
• | Real Estate – our real estate development and construction operations. |
Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we” and “our” refer to the consolidated company, including both Forest Products and Real Estate.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The 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 have been omitted. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
We have reclassified certain balances and results from the prior year for consistency with our 2010 reporting. This makes year-to-year comparisons easier. Our reclassifications had no effect on net earnings (loss) or Weyerhaeuser shareholders’ interest.
NOTE 2: REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) CONVERSION
We implemented certain technical changes necessary to convert to a REIT that were effective January 1, 2009. This included changing our fiscal year end to a calendar year end and a number of revisions to our IT systems and business processes. We also restructured the company so that our non-REIT qualifying assets are held in a wholly-owned subsidiary also known as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS), while our parent company continues to hold the majority of our timber assets.
We announced in December 2009 that our board of directors had determined that conversion to a REIT would best support our strategic direction. Factors that the board considered in determining the timing of converting to a REIT included the state of the economic recovery, changes in tax policy including shareholder tax rates and the distribution of earnings and profits required under tax laws for REIT election.
We expect to derive most of our REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the sale of standing timber. Qualified REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the double taxation on income that usually results in the case of a distribution by a C corporation. A significant portion of our timberland segment earnings would receive this favorable tax treatment. We will, however, be subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than timber) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We also will continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRS, which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business, and our non-qualified timberland segment income.
To implement our decision to be taxed as a REIT, we distributed our accumulated earnings and profits, determined under federal income tax provisions, to our shareholders as a “Special Dividend”. The Special Dividend of $5.6 billion was paid September 1, 2010, and included the regular quarterly dividend of approximately $11 million. At the election of each shareholder, the Special Dividend was paid in cash or Weyerhaeuser common shares. The aggregate amount of cash distributed was $560 million and the number of common shares issued was approximately 324 million.
The stock portion of the Special Dividend is treated as the issuance of new shares for accounting purposes and affects our earnings (loss) per share only for periods after the distribution. Prior periods are not restated. The required treatment results in earnings (loss) per share that is less than would have been the case had the common shares not been issued. See “Note 5: Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share” for pro forma results giving effect to the common stock distribution for diluted earnings per common share as if the common stock distribution had occurred at the beginning of each period.
At the annual meeting of shareholders on April 15, 2010, our shareholders approved amendments to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue from 400 million shares to 1.36 billion shares and to impose ownership and transfer restrictions. These restrictions limit the number of shares any person or entity may own, including those attributed to it under the attribution provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, other than an excepted holder, to no more than 9.9 percent of the outstanding shares of any class or series of Weyerhaeuser equity shares. These amendments were filed and became effective when our board of directors declared the Special Dividend. Shareholders also approved the issuance of up to 960 million shares of common stock to pay out the Special Dividend. On July 13, 2010, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC covering the issuance of the additional shares of stock.
During third quarter 2010, we reversed certain deferred income tax liabilities relating to temporary differences on timber assets, which resulted in a benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $1,043 million. Our 2010 effective income tax rate also decreased due to lower taxes on REIT qualifying timberlands income. See “Note 16: Income Taxes” for more information.

NOTE 3: ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING CHANGES WE IMPLEMENTED IN 2010
Variable Interest Entities (VIE)
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that amends existing consolidation guidance for VIEs by:
• | changing the required approach for identifying the primary beneficiary of a VIE by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation with a qualitative approach that focuses on identifying who has the power to direct activities that significantly affect an entity’s economic performance, |
• | requiring additional reconsideration events when determining whether an entity is a VIE to include loss of power from voting or similar rights to direct the activities that significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, |
• | requiring ongoing assessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and |
• | requiring additional disclosures over involvement with a VIE. |
Our adoption of this guidance in first quarter 2010 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash
The FASB issued guidance clarifying that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders, that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is considered a share issuance to be reflected in earnings per share prospectively.
Our adoption of this guidance did not affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This guidance applies to our Special Dividend to shareholders as part of our conversion to a REIT. See “Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion” for more information.
We are principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber; the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products; and real estate development and construction. Our principal business segments are:
• | Timberlands – which includes logs; timber; minerals, oil and gas; and international wood products; |
• | Wood Products – which includes softwood lumber, engineered lumber, structural panels, hardwood lumber and building materials distribution; |
• | Cellulose Fibers – which includes pulp, liquid packaging board and an equity interest in a newsprint joint venture; |
• | Real Estate – which includes real estate development, construction and sales; and |
• | Corporate and Other – which includes certain gains or charges that are not related to an individual operating segment and transportation operations. |

(1) During first quarter 2010, we changed the methodology for allocating corporate costs to the business segments. The amounts presented for 2009 were not reclassified. Had third quarter 2009 been presented using the same methodology, net contribution to earnings would have decreased $4 million for Timberlands, $8 million for Wood Products, $4 million for Cellulose Fibers and $1 million for Real Estate and increased by $17 million for Corporate and Other. Year-to-date 2009 net contribution to earnings would have decreased $12 million for Timberlands, $24 million for Wood Products, $12 million for Cellulose Fibers and $2 million for Real Estate, and increased by $50 million for Corporate and Other.
NOTE 5: NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Our basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders was:
• | $3.52 during third quarter and $4.49 during year-to-date 2010, respectively; and |
• | $0.00 during third quarter and $(1.75) during year-to-date 2009, respectively. |
Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares.
Our diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders was:
• | $3.50 during third quarter and $4.48 during year-to-date 2010, respectively; and |
• | $0.00 during third quarter and $(1.75) during year-to-date 2009, respectively. |
Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the:
• | weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and |
• | the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares. |
Dilutive potential common shares include:
• | outstanding stock options, |
• | restricted stock units and |
• | performance share units. |
We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

Share Repurchase Program
In December 2008, we announced a stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of outstanding common shares. We repurchased a total of 66,691 shares of common stock for approximately $2 million under the program during first quarter 2009. All common stock purchases under the program were made in open-market transactions. We have not repurchased any more common shares since first quarter 2009.
NOTE 6: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan requires outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to be adjusted as a result of the Special Dividend (See “Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion”). For outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights, the number of awards increased and the exercise price decreased, by a ratio of the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on July 19, 2010 to the opening price on July 20, 2010. Outstanding restricted stock units were adjusted by a ratio of the amount of the Special Dividend paid per share divided by the average closing price per share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 24, 25 and 26, 2010.

• | restricted stock units will be forfeited upon termination of employment, except in the event of involuntary termination where restricted stock units continue to vest for one year. |
NOTE 7: CHARGES FOR FOREST PRODUCTS RESTRUCTURING, CLOSURES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
We review the carrying value of our assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. These events or changes in circumstances may include, but are not limited to:
• | decisions made to curtail, close, sell or restructure operations; |
• | changes in the expected use of assets; and |
• | significant or prolonged adverse changes in financial markets and economic conditions in markets in which we operate. |

The restructuring and closure charges recognized in 2010 and 2009 are primarily related to Corporate restructuring activities and Wood Products closures and curtailments of facilities. Restructuring activities in third quarter 2009 include a $60 million noncash pension charge triggered by the amount of lump-sum distributions paid in 2009 to former employees – see “Note 13: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans” for more information.
Long-lived asset impairment charges in 2009 consisted of $48 million related to Wood Products facilities and corporate-region buildings, and $12 million related to software costs. The fair values of the facilities and corporate-region buildings were determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) based on market quotes and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on discounted cash flow models.
We are reviewing our capacity plan across the Wood Products system, including operations indefinitely curtailed. As a result of this review, we may make decisions that could lead to additional charges for restructuring, closures or impairments in the Wood Products segment in fourth quarter 2010.
Goodwill impairment charges recognized in 2009 relate to goodwill in our hardwoods and industrial wood products reporting unit.
Changes in accrued severance related to restructuring and facility closures during the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2010, were as follows:

Gain on disposal of assets in 2010 included pre-tax gains of $40 million from the sale of certain British Columbia forest licenses and associated rights, $13 million from the sale of closed facilities, $4 million from the sale of a sawmill and $4 million from the sale of distribution centers.
The $163 million pretax gain on sale of non-strategic timberlands resulted from the sale of 140,000 acres in northwestern Oregon in third quarter 2009.

NOTE 9: REAL ESTATE ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES
We review Real Estate long-lived assets and investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets are stated at cost unless events or circumstances trigger an impairment review. If a triggering event occurs and the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable, we record an impairment loss, which is the difference between the asset’s book value and fair value. The determination of fair value is based on appraisals and market pricing of comparable assets when that information is available, or the discounted value of estimated future net cash flows from these assets.
During 2009, unfavorable market conditions caused us to re-evaluate our strategy to develop certain projects, reduce sales prices, and increase customer incentives. Because of such changes, we reassessed the recoverability of several of our investments, which triggered impairment charges. Asset impairments are recorded as adjustments to the cost basis of inventory and investments.

The write-off of pre-acquisition costs in 2009 primarily relates to forfeited deposits on options to purchase land. As of September 30, 2010, we control approximately 64,000 lots under option. Impairments of investments and other related charges relate to loans and investments in equity affiliates.
The following table provides additional fair value information related to the real estate assets that were impaired during the first three quarters of 2010 and 2009. Real estate impairments relate primarily to projects, or communities, held for development. Within a community that is held for development, there may be individual homes or parcels of land that are held for sale. Impairment charges recognized as a result of adjusting individual held-for-sale assets within a community to estimated fair value less cost to sell are also included in the total impairment charges below.

The significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) reported above are discounted future cash flows of the projects and investments. We use present value techniques based on discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. Discount rates applied to the estimated future cash flows of our homebuilding assets in the first three quarters of 2010 were generally 18 percent. Discount rates applied in the first three quarters of 2009 ranged from 12 percent to 21 percent.

Real Estate | $ | 390 | $ | 396 | $ | 402 | $ | 398 |
To estimate the fair value of long-term debt, we used the following valuation approaches:
• | market approach – based on quoted market prices for the same types and issues of our debt; or |
• | income approach – based on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. |
The inputs to the valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data.
The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.
During second quarter 2010, we repaid approximately $548 million in long-term debt due in 2012. We recognized a pretax charge in second quarter 2010 of $49 million, which included early retirement premiums, unamortized debt issuance costs and other miscellaneous charges in connection with the early extinguishment of debt. During first quarter 2010, our Real Estate segment retired $17 million in long-term debt due in 2012.
In October 2010, we repaid $24 million of long-term debt due in 2013. This debt was classified as current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2010.

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash, short-term investments, 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, |
• | carrying short-term investments at expected net realizable value and |
• | the allowance for doubtful accounts. |

FAIR VALUE OF PENSION PLAN ASSETS
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the value reported for our pension plan assets at the end of 2009 was estimated. Additional information regarding the year-end values generally becomes available to us during the first half of the following year. We finalized the valuations of our pension plan assets during second quarter 2010. The year-end value of the pension plan assets was greater than the estimated values reported as of December 31, 2009. Based on the final valuations the investments increased by $167 million during second quarter 2010.
In addition, each year we update participant information for our U.S. pension plans which resulted in an actuarial loss of $82 million due to actual experience not being as predicted. During second quarter 2010, we also recognized charges of $11 million for plan amendments.
Based on this information, we recorded the following adjustments during second quarter 2010:
• | $12 million increase in deferred pension and other assets; |
• | $62 million decrease in deferred pension, other postretirement benefits and other liabilities; |
• | $24 million increase in the liability for deferred income taxes; and |
• | $50 million net decrease in cumulative other comprehensive loss, which resulted in an increase in total Weyerhaeuser shareholders’ interest. |
RECEIVABLES FROM PENSION TRUST
In 2010, the pension trust repaid the remaining $146 million of short-term loans made to the pension trust in 2008 and 2009.
EXPECTED PENSION FUNDING
We contributed $100 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans in first quarter 2010 and an additional $50 million in third quarter 2010. The contributions reduced 2009 taxable income, thereby increasing the amount of the 2009 operating loss refund. The contributions also decreased the amount of earnings and profits distributed in 2010 in order to convert to a REIT. The contributions eliminate the required 2010 contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans originally due by September 15, 2011.
During 2010 we also contributed $41 million to our Canadian registered plan. During 2011, we will likely be required to make a contribution to our Canadian registered plan. Although we do not know the amount, it may exceed our 2010 contribution.

NOTE 15: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
This note provides details about our:
• | legal proceedings and |
• | environmental matters. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to legal matters generally incidental to our business. The ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding:
• | is subject to a great many variables and |
• | cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. |
However, whenever probable losses from litigation could reasonably be determined — we believe that we have established adequate reserves. In addition, we believe the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings:
• | could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given quarter or year; but |
• | will not have a material adverse effect on our long-term results of operations, cash flows or financial position. |
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The issues we have concerning environmental matters are:
• | site remediation and |
• | asbestos management. |
Site Remediation
Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act – commonly known as Superfund – and similar state laws, we:
• | are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and |
15
Table of Contents
• | have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated. |
Our Established Reserves. We have established reserves for estimated remediation costs on the active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are responsible.
Changes in the Reserve for Environmental Remediation
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS | �� | |||
Reserve balance as of December 31, 2009 | $ | 31 | ||
Reserve charges and adjustments, net | 1 | |||
Payments | (4 | ) | ||
Reserve balance as of September 30, 2010 | $ | 28 | ||
Total active sites as of September 30, 2010 | 54 | |||
The changes in our reserves for remediation costs reflect:
• | new information on any site concerning implementation of remediation requirements, |
• | updates on prior cost estimates, |
• | new sites and |
• | costs incurred to remediate sites. |
Estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible – based on currently available information and analysis – that remediation costs for all identified sites may exceed our reserves by up to $94 million. The increase in potential remediation costs of $64 million in 2010 is primarily due to the bankruptcy of a potentially responsible party with whom we are co-responsible for site remediation.
That estimate – in which those additional costs may be incurred over several years – is the upper end of the range of reasonably possible additional costs. The estimate:
• | is much less certain than the estimates on which our accruals currently are based and |
• | uses assumptions that are less favorable to us among the range of reasonably possible outcomes. |
In estimating our current accruals and the possible range of additional future costs, we:
• | assumed we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of every site, |
• | took into account the ability of other potentially responsible parties to participate and |
• | considered each party’s financial condition and probable contribution on a per-site basis. |
We have not recorded any amounts for potential recoveries from insurance carriers.
Asbestos Management
Some of our sites have asbestos containing materials. We have met our current legal obligation to identify and manage these materials. In situations where we cannot reasonably determine when asbestos containing materials might be removed from the sites, we have not recognized a liability because its fair value cannot be reasonably estimated.
As a result of converting to a REIT, our 2010 effective income tax rate decreased due to lower taxes on REIT income (See “Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion”). Additionally, income tax credits, which expired in 2009 and have not been extended, have not been included in the 2010 provision. Extension of the income tax credits would further reduce the 2010 effective income tax rate.
Our effective income tax rates were:
• | 18.5 percent for 2010 and |
• | 36.2 percent for 2009. |
The 2010 rate excludes the effect of the following items recorded in 2010:
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS | ||||
First Quarter 2010: | ||||
Medicare Part D subsidy charge | $ | (28 | ) | |
State tax law and rate changes charge | $ | (3 | ) | |
Third Quarter 2010: | ||||
REIT conversion benefit | $ | 1,043 | ||
Medicare Part D subsidy plan change due to plan amendment | $ | (4 | ) | |
Unrecognized tax benefits and other adjustments | $ | (4 | ) |
Due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, we will no longer be able to claim an income tax deduction for prescription drug benefits provided to retirees and reimbursed under the Medicare Part D subsidy beginning in 2013. Accounting rules required the effect of the change to be recorded in first quarter 2010, the period that the law was enacted.

Table of Contents
During third quarter 2010, we reversed certain deferred income tax liabilities, relating to temporary differences of timber assets, as a result of our conversion to a REIT.
Fuel Credits
During 2009, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed a $0.50 per gallon tax credit for the alternative fuel component of alternative fuel mixtures produced and used as a fuel in a taxpayer’s trade or business. Our application for registration as a blender based on our use of black liquor as an alternative fuel was approved in May 2009. We began blending black liquor (a byproduct of our wood pulping process) and diesel fuel during the first week of April 2009 and blended and used approximately 688 million gallons of the alternative fuel mixture through December 31, 2009, resulting in $344 million of credits. The alternative fuel mixture credit expired on December 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we had recognized year-to-date credits of $229 million.
In an IRS memo dated June 28, 2010, the IRS concluded that black liquor sold or used in 2009 qualifies for the cellulosic biofuel producer credit. With the recognition that black liquor potentially qualifies for either the cellulosic biofuel producer credit or the alternative fuel mixture credit (but not both on the same gallon of black liquor), it has provided instructions which would allow a taxpayer to refund alternative fuel mixture credits already received and claim the higher cellulosic biofuel producer credit. We received our registration as a cellulosic biofuel producer in third quarter 2010. In an IRS memo dated October 5, 2010, the IRS concluded that both the alternative fuel mixture credit and the cellulosic biofuel producer credit could be claimed by a taxpayer in the same year. During 2009, we produced approximately 238 million gallons of black liquor, which did not qualify for the alternative fuel mixture credit. This equals $240 million of potential cellulosic biofuel producer credit at $1.01 per gallon, or $149 million net of tax, which we anticipate recognizing in fourth quarter 2010. Since this credit offsets our income tax liability, we will carry the credit forward. We are evaluating both credits to determine which credit, or mix of credits, will add the most value to the company.

EXPORTING ISSUES
We are a large exporter, affected by changes in:
• | economic activity in Europe and Asia – especially Japan and China; |
• | currency exchange rates – particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Euro and the Canadian dollar; and |
• | restrictions on international trade or tariffs imposed on imports. |
In the event of developments that currently cannot be foreseen, such as a change in tax law, our Board of Directors may elect not to convert to a REIT for fiscal 2010, even after we completed the Special Dividend.
We previously announced that we intend to elect to be treated as a “real estate investment trust,” or “REIT,” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code.” To implement our decision to be taxed as a REIT, we distributed to shareholders our accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) in a Special Dividend paid September 1, 2010. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion” for more information. The board continues to reserve the right to elect not to convert to a REIT for fiscal year 2010 if the board determines that, based on developments that currently cannot be foreseen, such as a change in tax law, it is in our best interest and that of our shareholders to not elect REIT status.
See our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for other risk factors that affect our business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:
• | Price or sales realizations refer to net selling prices – this includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. |
• | Net contribution to earnings can be positive or negative and refers to: |
• | earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes for the Forest Products business segments; and |
• | earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes for the Real Estate business segment. However, interest that previously was capitalized to Real Estate assets that are sold is included in cost of products sold and is included in contribution to earnings for the Real Estate segment. |
In the following discussion, unless otherwise noted, references to increases or decreases in income and expense items, price realizations, shipment volumes, and net contributions to earnings are based on the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2010, compared to the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2009.

Comparing 2010 with 2009
In 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $257 million – 18 percent – during third quarter and $815 million – 20 percent – year-to-date. |
• | Net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders increased $1.1 billion during third quarter and $1.5 billion year-to-date. |
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased primarily due to the following:
• | increased pulp sales realizations – refer to the Cellulose Fibers segment discussion; |
• | increased price realizations for log sales in the West – refer to the Timberlands segment discussion; |
• | increased price realizations for residential building products – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion; |
• | increased revenues from our shipping operations – refer to the Corporate and Other segment discussion; and |
• | increased average price of single-family homes closed and number of single-family homes closed – refer to the Real Estate segment discussion. |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders
Our net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders increased during third quarter primarily due to the following:
• | reversal of certain deferred income tax liabilities as a result of our conversion to a REIT – refer to the income tax discussion; |
• | decreased restructuring, closure and asset impairment charges – refer to the Wood Products, Real Estate and Corporate and Other segment discussions; |
• | higher price realizations – refer to the Timberlands, Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers segment discussions; and |
• | higher gross margins from single-family operations – refer to the Real Estate segment discussion. |
The increases in our earnings during third quarter were partially offset by the following:
• | recognition of a gain on sale of 140,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands in 2009 – refer to the Timberlands segment discussion; |
• | recognition of alternative fuel mixture credits in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 – refer to the Cellulose Fibers segment discussion; and |
• | increased raw materials, maintenance and other operating costs – refer to the Timberlands, Wood Products and Cellulose Fibers segment discussions. |
Net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common shareholders for year-to-date 2010 increased due to third quarter items noted above and an increase in the pretax gain on the sale of Wood Products assets and operations – refer to the Wood Products segment discussion. This was partially offset by the loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

Comparing Third Quarter 2010 with Third Quarter 2009
In third quarter 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers increased $47 million – 24 percent. |
• | Intersegment sales increased $23 million – 19 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings decreased $144 million – 66 percent. |
Net sales and revenues – unaffiliated customers
The $47 million increase in net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers resulted primarily from the following:
• | Western log sales increased $26 million due to increased price realizations of 25 percent. |
• | Land exchanges, dispositions of non-strategic timberlands, and sales of higher and better-use lands increased by $27 million. |
These items were partially offset by a $6 million decrease in minerals, oil and gas revenues due to the sale of selected royalty rights in 2009.
Intersegment sales
The $23 million increase in intersegment sales was primarily the result of increasing demand in Canada for logs as Canadian Wood Products production increased in 2010, higher Canadian chip prices driven by limited chip supplies and improved log price realizations in the U.S.
Net contribution to earnings
The $144 million decrease in net contribution to earnings consisted of:
• | $163 million pre-tax gain on the third quarter 2009 sale of 140,000 acres of non-strategic timberland in northwestern Oregon. |
• | $14 million increase in operating costs, which includes higher road maintenance, higher fuel costs and increased spending on silviculture. |
• | $8 million decrease due to reduced harvest levels of 10 percent in the West and 9 percent in the South. |
These decreases were partially offset by:
• | $32 million increase primarily due to higher domestic and export prices. |
• | $19 million increase primarily due to land exchanges and dispositions of non-strategic timberlands. |

Comparing Year-to-Date 2010 with Year-to-Date 2009
During year-to-date 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers increased $109 million – 20 percent. |
• | Intersegment sales increased $31 million – 8 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings decreased $99 million – 30 percent. |
Net sales and revenues – unaffiliated customers
The $109 million increase in net sales and revenues to unaffiliated customers resulted primarily from the following:
• | Western log sales increased $64 million due to increased price realizations of 28 percent. |
• | Land exchanges, dispositions of non-strategic timberlands and sales of higher and better-use lands increased $38 million. |
• | Sales from our International operations increased $19 million due to improvement in prices across most products and increased sales volumes. |
The above items were partially offset by an $11 million decrease in southern log sales primarily due to a 16 percent decrease in sales volume.
Intersegment sales
The $31 million increase in intersegment sales was primarily the result of favorable currency translation rates, increased Canadian log and chip prices and increasing Canadian Wood Products production in 2010. Improvements in Canada were partially offset by reductions in the United States resulting from mill downtime and the deferral of fee harvest.
Net contribution to earnings
The $99 million decrease in net contribution to earnings resulted primarily from the following:
• | $163 million pre-tax gain on the third quarter 2009 sale of 140,000 acres of non-strategic timberland in northwestern Oregon. |
• | $29 million decrease due to decreased harvest levels of 15 percent in the South and 18 percent in the West. |
• | $20 million decrease resulting from increased incentive compensation and increased allocations of corporate costs to the business segments. |
• | $9 million increase in operating costs, which includes higher road maintenance, and increased fuel costs. |
These items were partially offset by:
• | $98 million increase primarily due to higher domestic and export prices. |
• | $14 million increase due to land exchanges, dispositions of non-strategic timberlands and sales of higher and better-use lands. |
• | $6 million decrease in charges for severance in 2009. |
Our Outlook
Excluding the disposition of non-strategic timberlands, we expect fourth quarter operating earnings from the segment to be lower than third quarter. We expect lower log price realizations, primarily in the West, and seasonally lower harvest volumes. We also anticipate increased silviculture costs.

Comparing Third Quarter 2010 with Third Quarter 2009
In third quarter 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $38 million – 6 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings decreased $3 million – 3 percent. |
Net sales and revenues
The $38 million increase in net sales and revenues was primarily due to the following:
• | Structural lumber average price realizations increased 6 percent and shipment volumes increased 12 percent. |
• | Engineered I-joists average price realizations increased 12 percent and shipment volumes decreased 28 percent. |
• | Oriented strand board (OSB) average price realizations increased 6 percent and shipment volumes increased 18 percent. |
• | Sales of other products purchased for resale decreased 13 percent. |
Net contribution to earnings
The $3 million decrease in net contribution to earnings was primarily due to the following:
• | $31 million increase in log costs; |
• | $7 million increase in closure and restructuring charges; and |
• | $5 million decrease due to lower shipment volumes, primarily for engineered I-joists. |
These charges were partially offset by the following improvements:
• | $28 million increase due to sales price realizations, primarily structural lumber, OSB and engineered I-joists; |
• | $7 million decrease in administrative costs, primarily due to prior cost reduction efforts; and |
• | $5 million decrease in asset impairment charges. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2010 with Year-to-Date 2009
During year-to-date 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $295 million – 17 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings improved $403 million – 77 percent. |
Net sales and revenues
The $295 million increase in net sales and revenues was primarily due to the following:
• | Structural lumber average price realizations increased 26 percent. |
• | Engineered I-joists shipment volumes increased 10 percent. |
• | OSB average price realizations increased 34 percent and shipment volumes increased 11 percent. |
• | Softwood plywood average price realizations increased 10 percent and shipment volumes increased 18 percent. |
• | Hardwood lumber shipment volumes increased 8 percent. |
23
Table of Contents
Net contribution to earnings
The $403 million improvement in net contribution to earnings was primarily due to the following:
• | $237 million increase due to sales price realizations, primarily OSB and structural lumber; |
• | $60 million increase in the net pretax gain on the sale of assets and operations, including the sale of certain British Columbia forest licenses and associated rights; |
• | $55 million decrease in closure and restructuring charges; |
• | $28 million decrease in asset impairment charges; |
• | $22 million decrease in selling and administrative costs, primarily due to staff reductions in 2009; |
• | $15 million decrease in litigation charges, primarily due to the settlement of Alder litigation in 2009; |
• | $11 million increase due to higher shipment volumes for all product lines except structural lumber; and |
• | $7 million decrease in manufacturing and other costs of sales as a result of increased operating efficiencies and cost reductions. |
These improvements were offset by a $47 million increase in log costs.
Our Outlook
We expect a comparable loss from the segment in fourth quarter compared to third quarter. We anticipate seasonally lower volumes across all product lines and modestly lower price realizations, offset by lower log costs. We are reviewing our capacity plan across the Wood Products system, including operations indefinitely curtailed. As a result of this review, we may make decisions that could lead to additional charges for restructuring, closures or impairments in the Wood Products segment in fourth quarter 2010.

Comparing Third Quarter 2010 with Third Quarter 2009
In third quarter 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $132 million – 34 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings increased $15 million – 9 percent. |
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased $132 million primarily due to the following:
• | Pulp price realizations increased $267 per ton – 41 percent – primarily due to tight global softwood pulp inventories in 2010. |
• | Liquid packaging board price realizations increased by $125 per ton – 13 percent – primarily due to a favorable mix shift toward coated board. |
• | Sales volumes of liquid packaging board increased 6,000 tons – 8 percent. |
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $15 million primarily due to the following:
• | $119 million increase due to higher pulp price realizations; |
• | $10 million improvement in liquid packaging board price realizations; and |
• | $10 million increase in other product realizations due to higher market pricing. |
Partially offsetting these increases in earnings were the following:
• | $122 million decrease due to alternative fuel mixture credits, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Other Liquidity Related Disclosures” for more information related to the alternative fuel mixture credits; and |
• | $6 million increase in operating costs, freight and the effect on Canadian operating costs for the weakening U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2010 with Year-to-Date 2009
During year-to-date 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $297 million – 27 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings decreased $23 million – 8 percent. |
Net sales and revenues
Net sales and revenues increased $297 million primarily due to the following:
• | Pulp price realizations increased $186 per ton – 28 percent – primarily due to tight global softwood pulp inventories, due in part to lower industry production in the first half of 2010 as a result of the Chilean earthquake that occurred in February 2010. |
• | Sales volumes for pulp increased 26,000 tons – 2 percent. |
• | Liquid packaging board price realizations increased $83 per ton – 8 percent – primarily due to a favorable mix shift toward coated board. |
• | Sales volumes for liquid packaging board increased approximately 15,000 tons – 7 percent. |

Table of Contents
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings decreased $23 million primarily due to the following:
• | $229 million decrease due to alternative fuel mixture credits, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Other Liquidity Related Disclosures” for more information related to the alternative fuel mixture credits; |
• | $70 million increase in operating costs, freight and the effect on Canadian operating costs of the weakening U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar; and |
• | $9 million increase in general and administrative cost. |
Partially offsetting these decreases in earnings were the following increases:
• | $237 million increase due to higher pulp price realizations, |
• | $21 million increase in other product realizations and |
• | $23 million increase due to higher liquid packaging board price realizations. |
Our Outlook
We expect fourth quarter earnings from the segment to be lower than third quarter due to lower average pulp price realizations and increased scheduled maintenance.

Comparing Third Quarter 2010 with Third Quarter 2009
In third quarter 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $14 million – 7 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings increased $84 million. |
New home markets are highly differential across our operations with uneven demand patterns. Buyers in lower price points have been attracted by housing affordability, partially due to historically low mortgage rates. In certain regions, the market for new homes has been active in higher price ranges. Although the supply of new homes has stabilized, most of our markets have been affected by increasing levels of foreclosures and short-sales, high unemployment and low consumer confidence.
Net sales and revenues
The $14 million increase in net sales and revenues resulted primarily from the average price of homes closed increasing 9 percent to $400,000 in third quarter 2010 compared to $366,000 in third quarter 2009, primarily as a result of a shift in product mix.
Net contribution to earnings
The $84 million increase in net contribution to earnings resulted primarily from:
• | $42 million decrease in impairments and other related charges attributable to Weyerhaeuser shareholders; |
• | $23 million increase – 82 percent – in contribution from single-family closings. The contribution is a result of improved margins due to the mix of homes closed. Changes in mix reflect changes in product lines (move-up products versus entry-level homes) or changes in geographic markets where the closings occur; |
• | $13 million decrease in restructuring and other related charges; |
• | $6 million increase in partnership income; and |
• | $4 million increase in contribution from land and lot sales. |
Comparing Year-to-Date 2010 with Year-to-Date 2009
During year-to-date 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $51 million – 9 percent. |
• | Net contribution to earnings increased $288 million. |
Net sales and revenues
The $51 million increase in net sales and revenues resulted primarily from a 9 percent increase in home closings – home closings were 1,519 in year-to-date 2010 compared to 1,399 in year-to-date 2009. The average price of homes closed improved slightly to $379,000 in year-to-date 2010 from $377,000 in year-to-date 2009.
Net contribution to earnings
The $288 million increase in net contribution to earnings resulted primarily from:
• | $156 million decrease in impairments and other related charges attributable to Weyerhaeuser shareholders; |
• | $53 million increase – 66 percent – in contribution from single-family closings. The net contribution reflects a $7 million benefit as a result of additional closings and a $46 million benefit as a result of improved margins due to the mix of homes closed. |
• | $24 million increase in contributions from sales of partnership interests – 2010 included gains of $33 million on sales compared to $9 million in 2009; |
• | $19 million decrease in selling and general and administrative expenses due to cost cutting measures, including reductions in headcount; |
• | $19 million decrease in restructuring and other related charges; |
• | $8 million increase in contributions from partnership income – 2010 included income of $13 million compared to $5 million in 2009; and |
• | $7 million increase in contribution from land and lot sales. |

Table of Contents
Our Outlook
We expect slightly lower earnings from single-family homebuilding operations in fourth quarter, with additional single-family home closings offset by somewhat lower margins. We do not anticipate any significant land and lot sales in fourth quarter.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
Our Corporate and Other segment includes:
• | certain gains or charges that generally are not related to an individual operating segment; and |
• | transportation operations, including Westwood Shipping Lines and five short-line railroads. |

Comparing Third Quarter 2010 with Third Quarter 2009
In third quarter 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $26 million – 65 percent. |
• | Net contributions to earnings increased $91 million. |
Net sales and revenues
The $26 million increase in net sales and revenues primarily consisted of increased revenues generated by our Westwood Shipping operations as a result of higher volumes and prices.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $91 million, primarily resulting from the following:
• | $88 million decrease in charges for asset impairments and restructuring activities, primarily related to 2009 pension settlements and curtailments and |
• | $15 million increase in earnings from transportation operations, primarily Westwood Shipping. |
These increases were partially offset by a $13 million decrease in gains related to foreign exchange, primarily resulting from a smaller change in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in third quarter 2010 as compared to third quarter 2009.
Comparing Year-to-Date 2010 with Year-to-Date 2009
During year-to-date 2010:
• | Net sales and revenues increased $63 million – 52 percent. |
• | Net contributions to earnings increased $141 million. |
Net sales and revenues
The $63 million increase in net sales and revenues primarily consisted of increased revenues generated by our Westwood Shipping operations as a result of higher volumes and prices.
Net contribution to earnings
Net contribution to earnings increased $141 million, primarily resulting from the following:
• | $161 million decrease in charges for asset impairments and corporate restructuring activities, primarily related to termination benefits; |
• | $23 million increase in earnings from transportation operations, primarily from our Westwood Shipping operations; |
• | $16 million decrease for a charge in first quarter 2009 for the market value of timberland property donated to the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation; and |
• | $16 million decrease in administrative expenses as a result of implementing company cost savings initiatives and a change in the methodology for allocating corporate costs to the business segments. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 4: Business Segments” for more information. |
28
Table of Contents
These increases were partially offset by the following:
• | $30 million decrease related to litigation and insurance reimbursements received in 2009; |
• | $27 million decrease in foreign exchange, primarily resulting from a smaller change in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2010 as compared to 2009; and |
• | $18 million decrease related to the 2009 sale of Honolulu box plant site. |
INTEREST EXPENSE
Including Real Estate, our interest expense incurred was:
• | $104 million during third quarter and $327 million during year-to-date 2010, respectively. |
• | $115 million during third quarter and $344 million during year-to-date 2009, respectively. |
Interest expense incurred decreased primarily due to reductions in our debt during 2009 and 2010.
INCOME TAXES
As a result of converting to a REIT, our 2010 effective income tax rate decreased due to lower taxes on REIT income (See “Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion”). Additionally, income tax credits, which expired in 2009 and have not been extended, have not been included in the 2010 provision. Extension of the income tax credits would further reduce the 2010 effective income tax rate.
Our effective income tax rates were:
• | 18.5 percent for 2010 and |
• | 36.2 percent for 2009. |
The 2010 rate excludes the effect of the following items recorded in 2010:

First Quarter 2010: | ||||
Medicare Part D subsidy charge | $ | (28 | ) | |
State tax law and rate changes charge | $ | (3 | ) | |
Third Quarter 2010: | ||||

Medicare Part D subsidy plan change due to plan amendment | $ | (4 | ) | |
Unrecognized tax benefits and other adjustments | $ | (4 | ) |
Due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, beginning in 2013, we will no longer be able to claim an income tax deduction for prescription drug benefits provided to retirees and reimbursed under the Medicare Part D subsidy. Accounting rules required the effect of the change to be recorded in first quarter 2010, the period that the law was enacted.
During third quarter 2010, we reversed certain deferred income tax liabilities as a result of our conversion to a REIT.
As a REIT, we will no longer be required to pay corporate level tax on qualified income that is distributed to shareholders. We will, however, be subject to corporate taxes on built-in-gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis at January 1, 2010) on sales of real property (other than qualifying timber income) held by the REIT during the first 10 years following the REIT conversion. We will also continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRS, which principally includes our manufacturing businesses, our real estate development business, and the portion of our timberlands segment income included in the TRS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are committed to maintaining a sound and conservative capital structure which enables us to:
• | protect the interests of our shareholders and lenders and |
• | have access at all times to all major financial markets. |
Two important elements of our policy governing capital structure include:
• | viewing the capital structure of Forest Products separately from that of Real Estate given the very different nature of their assets and business activity and |
• | minimizing liquidity risk by managing a combination of maturing short-term and long-term debt. |
The amount of debt and equity for Forest Products and Real Estate will reflect the following:
• | basic earnings capacity and |
• | liquidity characteristics of their respective assets. |
CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Cash from operations includes:
• | cash received from customers; |
• | cash paid to employees, suppliers and others; |
• | cash paid for interest on our debt; and |
• | cash paid or received for taxes. |

Table of Contents
Consolidated net cash provided by (used in) our operations was:
• | $551 million in 2010 and |
• | $(276) million in 2009. |
Comparing 2010 with 2009
Net cash provided by operations increased $827 million in 2010 as compared with 2009:
• | Cash we received from customers increased approximately $684 million primarily due to the following: |
• | Sales from our Wood Products, Cellulose Fibers and Timberlands segments increased due to improved price realizations. |
• | Sales from our Real Estate segment increased in 2010 primarily due to increased home closings. |
• | Consolidated cash received for income taxes increased $491 million as compared to 2009. |
Partially offsetting these increases was an increase of cash paid to employees, suppliers and others of approximately $238 million and pension contributions of $191 million in 2010.
CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash from investing activities includes:
• | acquisitions of property, equipment, timberlands and reforestation; |
• | investments in or distribution from equity affiliates; |
• | proceeds from sale of assets and operations; and |
• | purchases and redemptions of short-term investments. |
In 2010, the pension trust repaid the remaining $146 million of short-term loans made to the pension trust in 2008 and 2009.

During first quarter 2010, our Real Estate segment retired $17 million in long-term debt due in 2012.
In October 2010, we repaid $24 million in long-term debt due in 2013.
Revolving credit facilities
Weyerhaeuser Company and Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO) have a $1.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility that expires in December 2011 (Credit Facility).

Paying dividends and repurchasing stock
We paid dividends to our shareholders of:
• | $581 million in 2010 and |
• | $116 million in 2009. |
The increase in dividends paid is due to the Special Dividend paid on September 1, 2010. See “Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion” below.
On October 15th, 2010, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 5 cents per share payable December 1, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of business November 5, 2010.
Our board is considering several factors in regards to an appropriate dividend level following REIT conversion. Considerations include the macroeconomic climate, our earnings potential, affordability, our target capital structure, funding for potential growth opportunities and comparability to other timber REIT dividend practices. We plan to provide updated guidance on our dividend level in December 2010.
During 2009, we repurchased 66,691 shares of common stock at a cost of $2 million under the stock-repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in December 2008.
OTHER LIQUIDITY RELATED DISCLOSURES
Fuel Credits
During 2009, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed a $0.50 per gallon tax credit for the alternative fuel component of alternative fuel mixtures produced and used as a fuel in a taxpayer’s trade or business. Our application for registration as a blender based on our use of black liquor as an alternative fuel was approved in May 2009. We began blending black liquor (a byproduct of our wood pulping process) and diesel fuel during the first week of April 2009 and blended and used approximately 688 million gallons of the alternative fuel mixture through December 31, 2009, resulting in $344 million of credits. The alternative fuel mixture credit expired on December 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we had recognized year-to-date credits of $229 million.
In an IRS memo dated June 28, 2010, the IRS concluded that black liquor sold or used in 2009 qualifies for the cellulosic biofuel producer credit. With the recognition that black liquor potentially qualifies for either the cellulosic biofuel producer credit or the alternative fuel mixture credit (but not both on the same gallon of black liquor), it has provided instructions which would allow a taxpayer to refund alternative fuel mixture credits already received and claim the higher cellulosic biofuel producer credit. We received our registration as a cellulosic biofuel producer in third quarter 2010. In an IRS memo dated October 5, 2010, the IRS concluded that both the alternative fuel mixture credit and the cellulosic biofuel producer credit could be claimed by a taxpayer in the same year. During 2009, we produced approximately 238 million gallons of black liquor, which did not qualify for the alternative fuel mixture credit. This equals $240 million of potential cellulosic biofuel producer credit at $1.01 per gallon, or $149 million net of tax, which we anticipate recognizing in fourth quarter 2010. Since this credit offsets our income tax liability, we will carry the credit forward. We are evaluating both credits to determine which credit, or mix of credits, will add the most value to the company.
Expected Pension Funding
We contributed $100 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans in first quarter 2010 and an additional $50 million in third quarter 2010. The contributions reduced 2009 taxable income, thereby increasing the amount of the 2009 operating loss refund that we received in first quarter 2010. The contributions also decreased the amount of earnings and profits distributed in 2010 in order to convert to a REIT. The contributions eliminate the required 2010 contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans originally due by September 15, 2011.
During 2010 we also contributed $41 million to our Canadian registered plan. During 2011, we will likely be required to make a contribution to our Canadian registered plan. Although we do not know the amount, it may exceed our 2010 contribution.

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion
We announced in December 2009 that our board of directors had determined that conversion to a REIT would best support our strategic direction. Factors that the board considered in determining the timing of converting to a REIT included the state of the economic recovery, changes in tax policy including shareholder tax rates and the distribution of earnings and profits required under tax laws for REIT election. Following are points related to our conversion:
• | To implement our decision to be taxed as a REIT, we distributed our accumulated earnings and profits, determined under federal income tax provisions, to our shareholders as a “Special Dividend”. The Special Dividend of $5.6 billion was paid September 1, 2010, and included the regular quarterly dividend of approximately $11 million. At the election of each shareholder, the Special Dividend was paid in cash or Weyerhaeuser common shares. The aggregate amount of cash distributed was $560 million and the number of common shares issued was approximately 324 million. |
• | The stock portion of the Special Dividend is treated as the issuance of new shares for accounting purposes and affects our earnings (loss) per share only for periods after the distribution. Prior periods are not restated. The required treatment results in earnings (loss) per share that is less than would have been the case had the common shares not been issued. |
• | We received shareholder approval on April 15, 2010 to issue a significant number of shares to enable the payout of earnings and profits to shareholders. On July 13, 2010, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC covering the issuance of the additional shares of stock. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conversion” for more information. |
• | We reversed certain deferred income tax liabilities which resulted in a benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during third quarter 2010 of approximately $1,043 million. Our 2010 effective income tax rate also decreased due to lower taxes on REIT qualifying timberlands income. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
In accounting, we base our judgments and estimates on:
• | historical experience and |
• | assumptions we believe are appropriate and reasonable under current circumstances. |
Actual results, however, may differ from the estimated amounts we have recorded. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
No changes occurred during year-to-date 2010 that had a material effect on the information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that was provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010 based on an evaluation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of that date.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
No changes occurred in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during third quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Refer to “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 15: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies.”
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In December 2008, we announced a stock-repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of outstanding shares. We repurchased a total of 66,691 shares of common stock for approximately $2 million under the program during first quarter 2009. All common stock purchases under the program were made in open-market transactions. We have not repurchased any more common shares since first quarter 2009.
