RAYONIER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On May 7, 2020, Rayonier Inc. contributed its 100% ownership interest in Rayonier Operating Company LLC (the “Contribution”) to Rayonier, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Rayonier, L.P.” or “Operating Partnership”). This transaction amongst entities under common control was accounted for at carryover basis and has no impact to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
On May 8, 2020, Rayonier, L.P. acquired Pope Resources, a Delaware Limited Partnership (“Pope”), and became the general partner of Pope. The acquisition occurred pursuant to a series of mergers (the “Mergers”) provided for in an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 14, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of April 1, 2020 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Rayonier, Rayonier, L.P., Rayonier Operating Company LLC, Rayonier Operating Company Holdings, LLC, Pacific GP Merger Sub I, LLC, Pacific GP Merger Sub II, LLC, Pacific LP Merger Sub III, LLC, Pope, Pope EGP, Inc and Pope MGP, Inc. Following the Mergers, Rayonier holds an approximate 96.5% ownership interest in Rayonier, L.P., with the remaining 3.5% ownership interest owned by limited partners of the Operating Partnership that are former Pope unitholders. As the sole general partner of Rayonier, L.P., Rayonier will have exclusive control of the day-to-day management of Rayonier, L.P.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been prepared (i) as if the Mergers and the debt issuance necessary to finance the Mergers occurred on March 31, 2020 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet, and (ii) as if the Contribution, the Mergers and the debt issuance necessary to finance the Mergers occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related adjustments for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Mergers incorporated into the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on preliminary estimates and information currently available. The amount of the equity issued in connection with the Mergers and the assignment of fair value to assets and liabilities of Pope have not been finalized and are subject to change. The amount of the equity issued in connection with the Mergers was based on the number of Pope units outstanding prior to the Mergers and the elections made by the Pope unitholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Pope that exist on the effective date of the Mergers.
Actual amounts recorded in connection with the Mergers may change based on any increases or decreases in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon the completion of the final valuation and may result in variances to the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and/or unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations. Assumptions and estimates underlying the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. These adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that management of Rayonier consider to be reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to: (1) represent Rayonier’s actual financial position had the Mergers occurred on March 31, 2020; (2) represent the results of Rayonier’s operations that would have actually occurred had the Mergers occurred on January 1, 2020; or (3) project Rayonier’s financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period, as applicable.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on Rayonier’s and Pope’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Contribution, the Mergers and the debt issuance necessary to finance the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, give effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on March 31, 2020.
The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results following the business combination.
The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, Rayonier has estimated the fair value of Pope’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and conformed the accounting policies of Pope to its own accounting policies.
The pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
The combined pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the acquisition of Pope as a result of restructuring activities and other planned cost savings initiatives following the completion of the business combination.
Note 2 — Pope and Rayonier Reclassification Adjustment
During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, management performed a preliminary analysis of Pope’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Rayonier and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Rayonier. At the time of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Rayonier had not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Pope’s accounting policies to Rayonier’s
accounting policies. The below adjustments represent Rayonier’s best estimates based upon the information currently available to Rayonier and could be subject to change once more detailed information is available.
Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassification adjustments made to Pope’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 to conform presentation (in millions):

Note 3 — Financing
In connection with the Mergers, the Company incurred $250.0 million of debt at an interest rate of approximately 3.5% (inclusive of interest rate hedges and patronage rebates), less approximately $0.8 million in debt issuance costs, a portion of which was used to fund the cash component of the Mergers for approximately $169.5 million. The Company also extinguished a portion of Pope’s existing debt of approximately $68.3 million which included a $2.3 million prepayment premium. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $9.6 million of transaction costs on behalf of Pope at the time of closing. The Company did not legally assume the extinguished portion of Pope’s outstanding debt or liabilities.
Note 4 — Consideration

(2) The purchase price is based on the closing price of Rayonier common stock on May 7, 2020.
Note 5 — Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and Rayonier management’s estimates of the fair value of Pope’s assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020, derived from the historical balance sheet of Pope as of March 31, 2020 and using the January 14, 2020 merger consideration adjusted based on Rayonier’s closing share price of $24.01 on May 7, 2020. As of the date of this document, Rayonier management has not finalized the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of Pope’s assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. The valuation studies are expected to be final by the end of 2020. Additional intangible asset classes may be identified as the valuation process continues. Therefore, the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary fair value estimates and is subject to final analysis by Rayonier management.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as March 31, 2020, with the excess recorded as goodwill (in millions):
| | | | | |
Timberland and Real Estate Business | |
Cash | $2.7 | |
Other current assets | 3.4 | |

Less: noncontrolling interest | (374.2) | |
Pro forma purchase price | 51.0 | |
| |
| |
Total pro forma purchase price | $526.7 | |
(1) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment.
(2) Other non-current liabilities includes a $4.0 million deferred income tax liability resulting from the preliminary fair value adjustment to Pope’s assets and liabilities.
Note 6 — Pro forma adjustments
The pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (in millions, except shares/units or per share/unit amounts):
a.The following represents the pro forma adjustments to cash and cash equivalents as a result of the Mergers:
| | | | | |
Decrease from extinguishment of existing Pope debt (1) | ($68.3) | |
Decrease from cash consideration paid to Pope unit holders | (169.5) | |
Decrease from cash payment of transaction-related expenses made on behalf of Pope | (9.6) | |
Decrease from cash payment of transaction-related expenses(2) | (20.0) | |
Pro forma adjustment to cash and cash equivalents | ($267.4) | |
(1) Includes $2.3 million prepayment premium.
(2) Reflects estimated transaction costs of $20.0 million incurred by Rayonier directly attributable to the Mergers. Transaction costs include investment banking, legal, and other fees and expenses. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and accounted for outside of the business combination in the post-acquisition financial statements of the combined entity. As the transaction costs will not have a continuing impact, Rayonier has not shown the estimated transaction costs in the unaudited pro forma statements of operations.
The following represents the pro forma adjustments to cash and cash equivalents as a result of the debt financing:
| | | | | |
Issuance of new debt, net of debt issuance costs | $249.2 | |
| |
Pro forma adjustment to cash and cash equivalents | $249.2 |
b.Reflects the adjustment of $527.9 million to increase the basis in the acquired Timber and Timberlands to estimated fair value of $964.3 million. In determining the fair value of the timberlands, the Company utilized valuation methodologies including a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value calculations are preliminary and subject to change after the Company finalizes its review of the specific types, nature, age, condition and location of Pope’s timberlands. The following summarizes the changes in the estimated depletion expense:
| | | | | |
Estimated depletion expense | ($50.7) | |
Historical depletion expense | 42.8 | |
Pro forma adjustment to depletion expense | ($7.9) | |
c.Reflects the adjustment of $7.5 million to increase the basis in the acquired real estate development investments to estimated fair value of $27.7 million. In determining the fair value of the real estate development investments, the Company utilized valuation methodologies including a sales comparison and a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value calculations are preliminary and subject to change after the Company finalizes its review of the specific types, nature, age, condition and location of Pope’s real estate development investments.
d.Reflects the adjustment of $3.1 million to increase the basis in the acquired property, plant and equipment to estimated fair value of $8.3 million. In determining the fair value of the property, plant and equipment the Company utilized valuation methodologies including a sales comparison approach. The fair value calculations are preliminary and subject to change after the Company finalizes its review of the specific types, nature, age, condition and location of Pope’s property, buildings and equipment. The following summarizes the changes in the estimated depreciation expense:
| | | | | |
Estimated depreciation expense | ($0.7) | |
Historical depreciation expense | 0.6 | |
Pro forma adjustment to depreciation expense | ($0.1) | |
e.At the time of this filing, the Company has not performed a detailed valuation analysis of Pope’s intangible assets. Consequently, the fair value and estimated useful lives will likely differ from final amounts the Company will calculate after completing a detailed valuation analysis, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The following represents the pro forma adjustments to other assets:
| | | | | |
Exchange of Pope units held by Rayonier for equity(1) | ($11.3) | |
Decrease in investment in joint venture | (1.5) | |
| |
| |
Pro forma adjustment to other assets | ($12.8) | |
(1) Pope units held by Rayonier will remain outstanding and represent Rayonier Operating Company LLC’s limited partner interest in Pope Resources L.P.
f.Reflects the effects of extinguishing a portion of Pope’s outstanding debt upon completion of the Mergers. The net decrease to debt includes:

g.Reflects the accrual of an estimated $1.1 million change in control payment obligation to a Pope executive incurred at the time of the Mergers. Pope has previously entered into an original employment contract with an executive officer in which Pope was required to incur severance obligations for matters relating to changes in control, as defined, and involuntary terminations. The Mergers met the change in control criteria of the employment agreement. For the severance payment to be made, there must be a change in control and a termination event of the executive, as defined in the employment agreements, referred to as a “double trigger” payment. Since the unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes the Mergers have occurred and the payment has been made to the executive, the obligation has been accrued in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. Dual trigger payments are accounted for outside of the business combination and not included in the purchase price, instead, recorded as compensation expense in the post-acquisition financial statements of the combined entity. As the change in control payment will not have a continuing impact, Rayonier has not shown this amount in the unaudited pro forma statements of operations.
The following represents the pro forma adjustments to accrued expenses:

Increase for change in control payment obligations | $1.1 | |
Pro forma adjustment to accrued expenses | $1.1 | |

p.Rayonier intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and as a result, the Company’s direct income tax expense is expected to be minimal. Consequently, no additional adjustment to pro forma income tax expense has been made with respect to the Mergers. With respect to the Mergers, Rayonier expects to make taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) elections with respect to the taxable subsidiaries of Pope acquired in the Mergers (excluding the Pope Private REITs) and those subsidiaries therefore will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at corporate rates. However, no pro forma adjustment for income tax expense has been reflected in the pro forma statement of income as incremental taxable income is projected to be minimal.
