Cash provided by operating activities was $177.2 million versus $320.4 million in the prior year, which included $102.4 million in cash flows from discontinued operations.4 Cash available for distribution (CAD)7 of $117.4 million increased $24.0 million versus the prior year due to lower cash interest paid ($14.6 million), lower cash tax payments ($8.5 million) and decreased capital expenditures from continuing operations ($6.4 million), which were partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA5 ($5.5 million). Cash interest and taxes paid in the prior year included payments related to the spun-off Performance Fibers business.
“In 2015, we maintained operational flexibility to respond to changing market conditions, particularly in market areas impacted by weaker demand from China,” said David Nunes, President and CEO. “In our Real Estate segment, we saw steady demand for rural properties while we continued to build the foundation for realizing greater value from our development properties. The strong performance of our Real Estate segment afforded us the opportunity to accelerate the planned reduction of timber harvest in the Pacific Northwest, which fell by 25% relative to 2014, while still achieving the upper end of our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Our nimble operating posture also extended to capital allocation decisions. During the first half of the year, we focused our capital allocation efforts on acquiring productive timberlands that would be accretive to cash flow. During the second half of the year, as our share price declined, we shifted our capital
225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202
allocation priority to share repurchases. In total, we acquired 37,000 acres of highly productive timberland in all three of our operating geographies during the year, while also repurchasing $100 million of our common stock. In addition, we closed on new credit facilities that resulted in lower interest expense and greater financial flexibility.”
Southern Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $36.1 million decreased $2.8 million, or 7%, versus the prior year period due to lower total harvest volumes, a higher mix of pulpwood (73% versus 67% in the prior year period) and a lower proportion of delivered sales (29% versus 32% in the prior year period). Harvest volumes decreased 3% to 1.41 million tons versus 1.46 million tons in the prior year period. Average sawtimber stumpage prices were comparable to the prior year period at $26.76 per ton, while average pulpwood stumpage prices decreased 2% to $18.24 per ton versus $18.55 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average pulpwood prices was driven primarily by a decline in demand on the east coast due to a temporary mill shutdown, along with a slightly unfavorable geographic mix, as a higher percentage of volume was harvested from the Company’s lowest-priced pulpwood region. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) decreased 3% to $20.36 per ton versus $20.92 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $12.0 million decreased $1.5 million versus the prior year period due to lower pricing ($0.7 million), changes in volume/mix ($0.6 million), lower non-timber income ($0.8 million) and higher costs ($0.8 million), which were partially offset by lower depletion rates ($1.3 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA5 of $24.9 million was $3.4 million below the prior year period.
Full-year 2015 sales of $139.1 million decreased $2.7 million, or 2%, versus the prior year due to a higher mix of pulpwood (70% versus 66% in the prior year) and a lower proportion of delivered sales (27% versus 33% in the prior year), partially offset by higher harvest volumes and stronger sawlog pricing. Harvest volumes increased 4% to 5.49 million tons versus 5.30 million tons in the prior year. Average sawtimber stumpage prices increased 4% to $27.62 per ton versus $26.45 per ton in the prior year, while average pulpwood stumpage prices decreased 2% to $18.13 per ton versus $18.48 per ton in the prior year. The increase in average sawtimber prices was driven primarily by selling stumpage when demand was strongest, generating favorable prices throughout the year, partially offset by reduced harvest activity in higher-priced sawtimber regions. The decrease in average pulpwood prices was primarily attributable to geographic mix and to the price decline in the current quarter on the east coast due to a temporary mill shutdown. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) were comparable to the prior year at $20.66 per ton. Pro forma operating income8 of $46.7 million increased $0.3 million versus the prior year due to higher volumes ($2.2 million) and higher non-timber income ($1.9 million), which were partially offset by higher costs ($2.5 million), higher depletion rates ($0.8 million) and lower pulpwood prices ($0.5 million).
Full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA5 of $101.0 million was $3.1 million above the prior year.
Pacific Northwest Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $18.7 million decreased $3.4 million, or 15%, versus the prior year period due to lower sawtimber prices and lower harvest volumes, partially offset by higher pulpwood prices and a higher proportion of delivered sales (97% versus 83% in the prior year period). Harvest volumes decreased 3% to 315,000 tons versus 326,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 16% to $66.27 per ton versus $79.19 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 4% to $44.93 per ton versus $43.23 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by weaker demand from China and the shutdown of mills in Shelton and Tacoma, Washington. The increase in average pulpwood prices was driven by strong local demand for pulpwood logs. This segment generated an operating loss of $0.4 million for the quarter versus operating income of $3.7 million in the prior year period, with the decline due to the decrease in prices ($3.2 million), higher costs ($0.7 million), lower volumes ($0.3 million) and higher depletion rates ($0.2 million), which were partially offset by higher non-timber income ($0.3 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA5 of $3.5 million was $4.0 million below the prior year period.
225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202
Full-year 2015 sales of $76.5 million decreased $25.7 million, or 25%, versus the prior year due to the planned reduction of harvest volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower sawtimber prices. Harvest volumes declined 25% to 1.24 million tons versus 1.66 million tons in the prior year. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 12% to $72.13 per ton versus $82.05 per ton in the prior year, while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 14% to $44.61 per ton versus $39.20 per ton in the prior year. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by weaker demand from China and the shutdown of some local mills. The increase in average pulpwood prices was driven by strong local demand for pulpwood logs. Pro forma operating income8 of $6.9 million decreased $24.5 million versus the prior year due to lower volumes ($12.6 million), lower prices ($11.2 million), higher depletion rates ($0.7 million) and higher costs ($1.1 million), which were partially offset by higher non-timber income ($1.1 million).
Full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA5 of $21.7 million was $29.1 million below the prior year.
New Zealand Timber
Fourth quarter sales of $40.1 million decreased $11.6 million, or 22%, versus the prior year period due to lower product prices and volumes. Harvest volumes declined 20% to 568,000 tons versus 708,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber declined 20% to $87.35 per ton versus $108.96 per ton in the prior year period and average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber declined 13% to $59.71 per ton versus $68.87 per ton in the prior year period. The decline in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to weaker demand from China, while the decline in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.66 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.78 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 2% versus the prior year period. This segment generated an operating loss of $1.1 million for the quarter versus operating income of $2.9 million in the prior year period, with the decline due to the decrease in prices ($2.9 million), lower volumes ($1.1 million), higher costs ($0.8 million), higher non-cash costs of land sold ($0.5 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.5 million), which were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rate changes ($1.5 million) and lower depletion rates ($0.3 million).
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA5 of $6.9 million was $6.8 million below the prior year period.
Full-year 2015 sales of $161.6 million decreased $20.8 million, or 11%, versus the prior year due to lower domestic and export product prices, which were partially offset by higher delivered volumes. Harvest volumes increased 2% to 2.41 million tons versus 2.36 million tons in the prior year. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber declined 21% to $88.59 per ton versus $111.75 per ton in the prior year, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber declined 18% to $64.05 per ton versus $78.15 per ton in the prior year. The decline in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to weaker demand from China, while the decline in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.70 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.83 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices declined 3% versus the prior year. Operating income of $2.8 million decreased $6.7 million versus the prior year due to the decrease in prices ($13.9 million) and higher non-cash costs of land sold and forestry right relinquishments ($1.0 million), which were partially offset by higher volumes ($0.8 million), lower depletion rates ($2.4 million), higher non-timber income ($2.5 million), the impact of foreign exchange rate changes ($2.3 million) and lower costs ($0.2 million).
Full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA5 of $33.0 million was $13.0 million below the prior year.
Real Estate
Fourth quarter sales of $20.5 million increased $9.5 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $10.3 million increased $7.7 million versus the prior year period. Sales and operating income increased in the fourth quarter due to higher volumes (9,192 acres sold versus 5,321 acres in the prior year period) and higher weighted average prices ($2,233 per acre versus $2,075 per acre in the prior year period).
Full-year 2015 sales of $86.5 million increased $9.2 million versus the prior year, while operating income of $44.3 million decreased $3.2 million versus the prior year period. Full-year 2015 operating income decreased as the prior year included $5.8 million in proceeds from a bankruptcy settlement with respect to
225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202
a former land sale customer. Excluding the proceeds from the bankruptcy settlement, operating income increased $2.6 million due to higher weighted average prices ($2,611 per acre versus $1,723 per acre in the prior year), partially offset by lower volumes (33,130 acres sold versus 44,848 acres in the prior year).
Improved Development fourth quarter sales of $1.8 million were comprised of a 55-acre sale in the Belfast Commerce Park near Savannah, Georgia for $32,602 per acre.
Unimproved Development fourth quarter sales of $0.7 million were comprised of 185 acres in Liberty County, Texas at an average price of $3,869 per acre.
Rural fourth quarter sales of $2.7 million were comprised of 981 acres at an average price of $2,786 per acre.
Non-strategic/Timberland fourth quarter sales of $15.3 million were comprised of 7,972 acres at an average price of $1,918 per acre and included 4,880 acres in Florida sold for conservation at an average price of $2,350 per acre.
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA5 of $16.2 million was $9.0 million above the prior year period. Full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA5 of $70.8 million was $22.4 million above the prior year.
Trading
Fourth quarter sales of $21.7 million decreased $2.0 million versus the prior year period due to lower prices, primarily as a result of weaker demand in China, partially offset by higher volumes. Sales volumes increased 12% to 247,000 tons versus 221,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices decreased 16% to $87.97 per ton versus $104.70 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $0.6 million increased $0.9 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower sourcing and export costs.
Full-year 2015 sales of $81.2 million decreased $22.5 million versus the prior year due to lower prices as a result of unfavorable China market conditions, partially offset by higher volumes. Sales volumes increased 6% to 926,000 tons versus 873,000 tons in the prior year. Average prices decreased 25% to $86.89 per ton versus $115.27 per ton in the prior year. Operating income decreased $0.5 million versus the prior year, primarily due to a NZ$/US$ exchange gain ($1.1 million) in the prior year, partially offset by lower sourcing and export costs ($0.6 million).
Other Items
Excluding $1.0 million of costs related to shareholder litigation,1 fourth quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $4.7 million decreased $1.1 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower legal and general and administrative expenses.
Fourth quarter interest expense of $7.1 million decreased $1.3 million versus the prior year period, primarily as a result of refinancing certain indebtedness in the third quarter of 2015.
Fourth quarter other non-operating income of $1.3 million was comprised primarily of favorable mark-to-market adjustments on New Zealand joint venture interest rate swaps.
The fourth quarter income tax expense of $0.5 million is principally related to the New Zealand joint venture.
Share Repurchases
During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased $24.1 million of common stock at an average price of $23.32 per share. The Company has thus completed the $100 million share repurchase authorization announced in June, repurchasing 4.2 million shares of common stock, or 3.3% of total shares outstanding as of the time of the authorization, at an average price of $23.79 per share. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 122.8 million shares of common stock outstanding.
On February 10, 2016, Rayonier’s Board of Directors approved an additional $100 million share repurchase authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time on the open market
225 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202
or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.
Outlook
“In 2016, we expect a modest increase in Southern harvest volume, reflecting recent acquisitions, at prices generally comparable to 2015,” added Nunes. “We continue to believe that U.S. housing starts will improve gradually, but that in 2016 we will not reach conditions favorable to significantly improve sawlog pricing. In the Pacific Northwest, we expect volumes comparable to 2015 and are cautiously optimistic that prices will improve from current levels, which will largely depend upon export market conditions. In our New Zealand joint venture, we anticipate a reduction in harvest volume of approximately 10% due to timber age-class variations, with average prices broadly in line with 2015. Also, we are on track with our previously announced plans to recapitalize our New Zealand joint venture and thereby reduce consolidated interest expense while increasing our ownership interest from 65% to an estimated 77%.”
“In our Real Estate segment, we expect continued steady demand for rural properties. We also anticipate strengthening interest in selected development properties, particularly as we begin to sell parcels within our East Nassau mixed use development project, which we anticipate in the second half of 2016. We are also planning on a higher level of investment in 2016 as we ramp up our development efforts in this area,” concluded Nunes.
