SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Rayonier Inc.'s Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. Rayonier, L.P.'s Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Operating Partnership has a controlling interest. For additional information regarding our consolidated entities with a noncontrolling interest component, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests . All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned a 97.8% interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 2.2% interest owned by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Rayonier Inc. has exclusive control of the day-to-day m anagement of the Operating Partnership. DISPOSITION OF TIMBER FUNDS Upon completion of the Pope Resources merger in May 2020, we became the manager of three private equity timber funds, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV, consisting of 141,000 acres in the Pacific Northwest, and obtained ownership interests in the Funds of 20%, 5%, and 15%, respectively. On July 21, 2021, we sold the rights to manage Fund III and IV, as well as our ownership interests in both funds to BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment Group (TIG) for an aggregate sales price of $35.9 million. Due to the sale of our rights to manage Fund III and Fund IV, we determined that we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the success of Fund III and Fund IV. As a result, Timber Fund III and IV balance sheets and results of operations are only included in our consolidated financial statements through the date of the sale. For additional information on Fund III and IV, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests . In addition, we completed the liquidation of Fund II timberland assets through three separate transactions during the third and fourth quarters of 2021 for an aggregate sales price of $156.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, we continue to manage and maintain a 20% ownership interest in Fund II, which is scheduled to terminate in March 2023. Prior to the termination of Fund II, the remaining capital will be distributed to Fund II investors. For additional information regarding Fund II, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests , Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities and Note 24 - Restricted Cash . RECLASSIFICATIONS Effective for year ended December 31, 2021, we have updated our presentation for the employee benefit pension plan to include a separate line item “Expenses paid,” which was previously reported as part of “Actuarial loss (gain).” “Actuarial loss (gain)” now solely represents changes resulting from adjustments to actuarial assumptions and estimates. The other categories of the pension plan remain unchanged, and this reclassification had no impact on the total projected benefit obligation. See Note 20 - Employee Benefit Plans . USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There are risks inherent in estimating and therefore actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are primarily amounts due to us for the sale of timber and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. INVENTORY Higher and better use (“HBU”) real estate properties that are expected to be sold within one year are included in inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. HBU properties that are expected to be sold after one year are included in a separate balance sheet line entitled “Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments.” See below for additional information. Inventory also includes logs available to be sold by the Trading segment. Log inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value and expensed to cost of sales when sold to third-party buyers. See Note 18 — Inventory for additional information. PREPAID LOGGING ROADS Costs for roads built in the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand to access particular tracts to be harvested in the upcoming 24 months to 60 months are recorded as prepaid logging roads. We charge such costs to expense as timber is harvested using an amortization rate determined annually as the total cost of prepaid roads divided by the estimated tons of timber to be accessed by those roads. The prepaid balance is classified as short-term or long-term based on the upcoming harvest schedule. See Note 25 — Other Assets for additional information. PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS As a requirement of the Farm Credit Act, borrowers in the Farm Credit System are required to purchase equity in Farm Credit lenders. The equity balance primarily represents shares of Class A common stock in CoBank valued at $100 par value. CoBank equity purchases continue annually until a balance equal to 8% of our 10-year historical average loan balance at CoBank is obtained. Initially, a minimal equity purchase was made in cash upon receiving the loan proceeds. Subsequently, equity purchases are made annually through patronage dividends, of which approximately 88% is cash and 12% is equity. The stock has no cash value until retired. As our loans are paid in full, the stock is generally retired over a 10-year loan base period beginning in the year following loan payoff. Estimated cash and equity dividends are recognized as an offset to interest expense in the period earned. These estimates are calculated by applying the weighted average debt balance with each participating lender to a historical dividend rate. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. See Note 10 — Debt and Note 25 — Other Assets for additional information. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS Deferred financing costs related to revolving debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the revolving debt using a method that approximates the effective interest method. See Note 25 — Other Assets for additional information on deferred financing costs related to revolving debt. See Note 10 — Debt for additional information on deferred financing costs related to term debt. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method. TIMBER AND TIMBERLANDS Timber is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs relating to acquiring, planting and growing timber including real estate taxes, site preparation and direct support costs relating to facilities, vehicles and supplies, are capitalized. A portion of timberland lease payments are capitalized based on the proportion of acres with merchantable timber volume remaining to be harvested under the lease term and the residual portion of the lease payments are expensed as incurred. Payroll costs are capitalized for time spent on timber growing activities, while interest or any other intangible costs are not capitalized. An annual depletion rate is established for each particular region by dividing merchantable inventory cost by standing merchantable inventory volume, which is estimated annually. We charge accumulated costs attributed to merchantable timber to depletion expense (cost of sales) at the time the timber is harvested or when the underlying timberland is sold. Upon the acquisition of timberland, we make a determination on whether to combine the newly acquired merchantable timber with an existing depletion pool or to create a new, separate pool. This determination is based on the geographic location of the new timber, the customers/markets that will be served and the species mix. If the acquisition is similar, the cost of the acquired timber is combined into an existing depletion pool and a new depletion rate is calculated for the pool. This determination and depletion rate adjustment normally occurs in the quarter following the acquisition. HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS HBU timberland is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed, with sales and depletion expense related to the harvesting of timber accounted for within the respective timber segment. At the time of sale, the cost basis of any unharvested timber is recorded as depletion expense, a component of cost of sales, within the Real Estate segment. HBU timberland and real estate development investments expected to be sold within twelve months are recorded as inventory. See Note 17 — Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments for additional information. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS Real estate development investments include capitalized costs for targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities. The capitalization period relating to real estate development investments is the period in which activities necessary to ready a property for its intended use are in progress. The period begins when such activities commence, typically when we begin the site work for land already owned, and ends when the improvement is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determination of when construction of a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use is subjective and requires business judgement. As such, we determine when the capitalization period begins and ends through communication with project and other managers responsible for the tracking and oversight of individual projects. We capitalize costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects, such as infrastructure, roadways, utilities, amenities and/or other improvements designed to enhance marketability and create parcels, pads and/or lots for sale. We capitalize interest based on the amount of underlying expenditures on real estate projects under development. IMPAIRMENT OF HBU TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS We review our higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators for each development project are assessed separately and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in sales pace or average selling prices, significant increases in expected land development and construction costs, and projected losses on expected future sales. Development projects have extended life cycles that may last 20 to 40 years, or longer, and have few long-term contractual cash flows. Development periods often occur through several economic cycles. Subjective factors such as the expected timing of property development and sales, optimal development density and sales strategy impact the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future economic conditions, such as construction costs and sales values that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If impairment indicators exist and it is expected that undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount less costs to sell, an impairment provision is recorded to write-down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost, including applicable freight, interest, construction and installation costs. We generally depreciate our assets, including office and transportation equipment, using the straight-line depreciation method over 3 to 25 years. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over 15 to 35 years and 5 to 30 years, respectively. Gains and losses on the sale or retirement of assets are included in operating income. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured by net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. LEASES At inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and long-term lease liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The income generated from our commercial and residential leases in Port Gamble are accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT Operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group to which the operating lease is assigned may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset group is evaluated based on forecasted undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset group is compared to its carrying amount and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. A discounted cash flow approach using market participant assumptions of the expected cash flows and discount rate are used to estimate the fair value of the asset group. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION LIABILITIES Environmental remediation liabilities have been evaluated using a combination of methods. The liability is estimated based on amounts included in construction contracts and estimates for construction contingencies, project management, and other professional fees. See Note 15 - Environmental and Natural Resource Damages Liabilities for more information. GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of the New Zealand Timber segment over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is periodically reviewed for impairment. An impairment test for this reporting unit’s goodwill is performed annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. We compare the fair value of the New Zealand Timber segment, using an independent valuation for the New Zealand forest assets, to its carrying value including goodwill. The independent valuation of the New Zealand forest assets is based on discounted cash flow models where the fair value is calculated using cash flows from sustainable forest management plans. The fair value of the forest assets is measured as the present value of cash flows from one growth cycle based on the productive forest land, taking into consideration environmental, operational, and market restrictions. These cash flow valuations involve a number of estimates that require broad assumptions and significant judgment regarding future performance. The annual impairment test was performed as of October 1, 2021; the estimated fair value of the New Zealand Timber segment exceeded its carrying value and no impairment was recorded. Except for changes in the New Zealand foreign exchange rate, there have been no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill since the initial recognition. See Note 25 — Other Assets for additional information. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND REMEASUREMENT The functional currency of our New Zealand-based operations is the New Zealand dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), within Shareholders’ Equity. U.S. denominated transactions of the New Zealand subsidiary are remeasured into New Zealand dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction and recognized in earnings, net of related cash flow hedges. All income statement items of the New Zealand subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes using monthly average exchange rates with translation gains and losses being recorded as a separate component of AOCI, within Shareholders’ Equity. REDEEMABLE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS Limited partners holding Redeemable Operating Partnership Units have the right to put any and all of the units to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Rayonier registered common shares, on a one-for-one basis, or cash, at Rayonier’s option. Consequently, these Redeemable Operating Partnership Units are classified outside of permanent partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership's accompanying balance sheets and the related noncontrolling interest is classified outside of permanent equity in the accompanying balance sheets of Rayonier. The recorded value of the Redeemable Operating Partnership Units is based on the higher of 1) initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for its share of net income or loss, other comprehensive income or loss, and dividend or 2) redemption value as measured by the closing price of Rayonier common stock on the balance sheet date multiplied by the total number of Redeemable Operating Partnership Units outstanding. RELATED PARTY We follow ASC 850, Related Party Disclosure , for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. A party is considered to be related to us if the party, directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with us. Related parties also include principal owners, management and directors, as well as members of their immediate families or any other parties with which we may deal if one party to a transaction controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. See Note 28 – Related Party. BUSINESS COMBINATION We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest, are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price in a business combination uses significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, including revenues and expenses, and applicable discount rates. While we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are subject to change as we obtain additional information related to those estimates during the applicable measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, we are required to record preliminary values in the financial statements for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Adjustments to the preliminary recorded values, which are identified during the measurement period, are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depletion, depreciation or amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the recorded values, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. During the measurement period, we are also required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period ends the sooner of one year from the acquisition date or when we receive the information we were seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learn that more information is not obtainable. In 2021, we finalized the purchase price allocation related to the Pope Resources merger. See Note 2 – Merger with Pope Resources for more information. REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenues when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). We generally satisfy performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore have applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2021 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts, unearned license revenue and post-closing obligations on real estate sales. These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. We generally collect payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore have elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. TIMBER SALES Revenue from the sale of timber is recognized when control passes to the buyer. We utilize two primary methods or sales channels for the sale of timber – a stumpage/standing timber model and a delivered log model. The sales method we employ depends upon local market conditions and which method management believes will provide the best overall margins. Under the stumpage model, standing timber is sold primarily under pay-as-cut contracts, with a specified duration (typically one year or less) and fixed prices, whereby revenue is recognized as timber is severed and the sales volume is determined. We also sell stumpage under lump-sum contracts for specified parcels where we receive cash for the full agreed value of the timber prior to harvest and control passes to the buyer upon signing the contract. We retain interest in the land, slash products and the use of the land for recreational and other purposes. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts to us. Revenue is recognized for lump-sum timber sales when payment is received, the contract is signed and control passes to the buyer. A third type of stumpage sale we utilize is an agreed-volume sale, whereby revenue is recognized using the output method, as periodic physical observations are made of the percentage of acreage harvested. Under the delivered log model, we hire third-party loggers and haulers to harvest timber and deliver it to a buyer. Sales of domestic logs generally do not require an initial payment and are made to third-party customers on open credit terms. Sales of export logs generally require a letter of credit from an approved bank. Revenue is recognized when the logs are delivered and control has passed to the buyer. For domestic log sales, control is considered passed to the buyer as the logs are delivered to the customer’s facility. For export log sales (primarily in New Zealand), control is considered passed to the buyer upon delivery onto the export vessel. The following table summarizes revenue recognition and general payment terms for timber sales: Contract Type Performance Timing of General Stumpage Pay-as-Cut Right to harvest a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of standing timber As timber is severed Initial payment between 5% and 20% of estimated contract value; collection generally within 10 days of severance Stumpage Lump Sum Right to harvest an agreed upon acreage of standing timber Contract execution Full payment due upon contract execution Stumpage Agreed Volume Right to harvest an agreed upon volume of standing timber As timber is severed Payments made throughout contract term at the earlier of a specified harvest percentage or time elapsed Delivered Wood (Domestic) Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of timber to customer’s facility Upon delivery to customer’s facility No initial payment and on open credit terms; collection generally within 30 days of invoice Delivered Wood (Export) Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) onto export vessel Upon delivery onto export vessel Letter of credit from an approved bank; collection generally within 30 days of delivery NON-TIMBER SALES Non-timber sales are primarily comprised of hunting and recreational licenses, carbon credits and other auxiliary income. Hunting and recreational license sales and any related costs are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement and included in “Sales” and “Cost of sales,” respectively. Payment is generally due upon contract execution. The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (“NZ ETS”) incentivizes the lowering of greenhouse gas emissions by providing carbon credits to certain organizations that lower carbon emissions. Our New Zealand segment regularly sells carbon credits and recognizes income as they are sold to other carbon emitting entities. LOG TRADING Log trading revenue is generally recognized when procured logs are delivered to the buyer and control has passed. For domestic log trading, control is considered passed to the buyer as the logs are delivered to the customer’s facility. For export log trading, control is considered passed to the buyer upon delivery onto the export vessel. The Trading segment also includes sales from log agency contracts, whereby we act as an agent managing export services on behalf of third parties. Revenue for log agency fees are recognized net of related costs. REAL ESTATE We recognize revenue on sales of real estate generally at the point in time when cash has been received, the sale has closed and control has passed to the buyer. A deposit of 2% to 5% is generally required at the time a purchase and sale agreement is executed, with the balance due at closing. On sales of development real estate containing future performance obligations, revenue is recognized using the cost input method based on development costs incurred to date relative to the total development costs allocated to the contract with the customer. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied obligations is recorded and presented in “Deferred revenue” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. COST OF SALES Cost of sales associated with timber operations primarily include the cost basis of timber sold (depletion), logging and transportation costs (cut and haul) and ocean freight and demurrage costs (port and freight). Depletion includes the amortization of capitalized costs (site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, timberland lease payments and certain payroll costs). Other costs include amortization of capitalized costs related to road and bridge construction and software, depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes and fire prevention. Cost of sales associated with real estate sold includes the cost of the land, the cost of any timber on the property that was conveyed to the buyer, any real estate development costs and any closing costs including sales commissions that may be borne by us. We expense closing costs, including sales commissions, when incurred for all real estate sales with future performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year. When developed residential or commercial land is sold, the cost of sales includes actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs benefiting the property sold through completion. Costs are allocated to each sold acre or lot based upon the relative sales value of each acre or lot as compared to the estimated sales value of the total project. For purposes of allocating development costs, estimates are reevaluated at least annually and more frequently if warranted by market conditions, changes in the project’s scope or other factors, with any adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining units available for sale. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The determination of expense and funding requirements for our defined benefit pension plan, its unfunded excess pension plan and its postretirement life insurance plan are largely based on a number of actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions include discount rate, return on assets, mortality rates and longevity of employees. See Note 20 — Employee Benefit Plans for assumptions used to determine benefit obligations, and the net periodic benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2021. Periodic pension and other postretirement expense is included in “Cost of sales,” “Selling and general expenses” and “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in “Cost of sales” and “Selling and general expenses” while the other components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of losses or gains) are presented outside of income from operations in “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our pension plans were in a

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES	MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES On May 8, 2020, Rayonier Inc. and Rayonier, L.P. acquired Pope Resources and became the general partner of Pope Resources. Pope Resources was a master limited partnership that primarily owned and managed timberlands in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Pope Resources also managed and co-invested in three private equity timber funds and developed and sold real estate properties. The total purchase price was as follows: Cash consideration $247,318 Equity consideration 172,640 Redeemable Operating Partnership Unit consideration 106,752 Fair value of Pope Resources units held by us (a) 11,211 Total purchase price $537,921 (a) Based on the closing price of Pope Resources units on the NASDAQ on May 7, 2020. We recognized approximately $17.2 million of merger-related costs that were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 27 — Charges for Integration and Restructuring for descriptions of the components of merger-related costs. The acquisition of Pope Resources was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations , (“ASC 805”). Pursuant to ASC 805, we recorded an allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger with Pope Resources based on their fair values as of May 8, 2020. We completed our assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the one-year period from the date of acquisition. We recorded measurement period adjustments due to additional information received primarily related to higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments, as well as timber and timberlands. As a result of refinements to the purchase price allocation, higher and better use timberlands increased by approximately $8.2 million. This includes development properties in the town of Port Gamble, Washington, development projects in Gig Harbor, Kingston, and Bremerton, Washington and various other assets. Additionally, refinements to the purchase price allocation resulted in an overall increase of $1.1 million to timber and timberlands, with the valuation of core timberlands decreasing by $15.5 million and Timber Funds timber and timberlands increasing by $16.6 million from the preliminary purchase price allocation reported in Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources in our 2020 Form 10-K. As a result of refinements to timberlands preliminarily recorded values, we recognized the following decreases in depletion expense during the year ended December 31, 2021: Year ended December 31, 2021 Pacific Northwest Timber Timber Funds Total Depletion (a) ($182) ($1,202) ($1,384) Total ($182) ($1,202) ($1,384) (a) Pacific Northwest Timber includes an immaterial increase in depletion expense related to the year ended December 31, 2020. Timber Funds includes an increase in depletion expense of approximately $0.1 million related to the year ended December 31, 2020. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost or market approaches. The fair value measurements were generally based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , (“ASC 820”) with the exception of certain long-term debt instruments assumed in the merger that can be valued using observable market inputs and are therefore Level 2 measurements. See Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements for further information on the fair value hierarchy. The final allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows: Core Timberlands Timber Funds Total Timberland and Real Estate Business Cash $7,380 $8,870 $16,250 Accounts receivable 2,459 1,787 4,246 Other current assets 703 260 963 Timber and Timberlands 498,630 449,073 947,703 Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments 34,748 — 34,748 Property, plant and equipment 11,616 — 11,616 Other assets (a) 3,737 2,194 5,931 Total identifiable assets acquired $559,273 $462,184 $1,021,457 Accounts payable 274 293 567 Current maturities of long-term debt — 25,084 25,084 Accrued interest 244 275 519 Other current liabilities 9,038 2,080 11,118 Long-term debt 53,502 35,759 89,261 Long-term environmental liabilities 10,748 — 10,748 Other non-current liabilities (b) 2,724 461 3,185 Total liabilities assumed $76,530 $63,952 $140,482 Net identifiable assets $482,743 $398,232 $880,975 Less: noncontrolling interests (3,816) (339,238) (343,054) Total net assets acquired $478,927 $58,994 $537,921 (a) Other assets includes a $1.9 million intangible asset in connection with the Timberland Investment Management business. (b) Other non-current liabilities includes a $3.2 million deferred income tax liability resulting from the fair value adjustment to Pope Resources’ assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 805, unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2019, are presented below (in thousands, except per share and unit amounts): 2020 2019 Sales $890,400 $821,500 Net income attributable to Rayonier Inc. $38,411 $28,640 Basic earnings per share attributable to Rayonier Inc. $0.28 $0.21 Diluted earnings per share attributable to Rayonier Inc. $0.28 $0.21 Net income attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $39,658 $29,574 Basic earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $0.28 $0.21 Diluted earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $0.28 $0.21 The unaudited pro forma results include certain pro forma adjustments to net earnings that were directly attributable to the acquisition, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019, including the following: • additional depletion expense that would have been recognized relating to the basis increase in the acquired Timber and Timberlands; • adjustment to interest expense to reflect the removal of Pope Resources debt and the additional borrowings we incurred in conjunction with the acquisition; and • a reduction in expenses for year ended December 31, 2020 of $32.3 million for acquisition-related transaction costs. Pro forma data may not be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Rayonier operates in six reportable segments: Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber, Timber Funds, Real Estate, and Trading. Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate financial performance based on segment operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as we do not produce asset information by segment internally. Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax expense, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “unallocated interest expense and other.” Segment information for each of the three years ended December 31 follows: Sales by Product Line 2021 2020 2019 Southern Timber $204,441 $191,831 $194,111 Pacific Northwest Timber 143,021 120,809 85,414 New Zealand Timber 281,158 202,315 241,861 Timber Funds (a) 199,402 29,557 — Real Estate Improved Development 51,713 14,498 5,882 Unimproved Development 37,500 8,426 19,476 Rural 43,088 67,152 47,647 Timberland & Non-Strategic 44 19,255 1,338 Conservation Easements 3,855 3,099 — Deferred Revenue/Other (2,380) 888 544 Large Dispositions 56,048 116,027 — Total Real Estate 189,868 229,345 74,887 Trading 95,364 88,973 115,438 Intersegment eliminations (b) (3,657) (3,676) (155) Total Sales $1,109,597 $859,154 $711,556 (a) The years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include $159.1 million and $22.7 million, respectively, of sales attributable to noncontrolling interests in Timber Funds.

TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS	TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS In 2021, we acquired approximately 100,000 acres of U.S. timberland located in Florida, Georgia, and Texas through seven transactions for an aggregate value of $168.2 million, which were funded from operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of the Timber Funds business and use of the Company’s at-the-market equity offering program. Additionally, during 2021, we acquired approximately 3,000 acres of timberland (including approximately 1,000 acres of leased land) in New Zealand for approximately $10.9 million. These acquisitions were funded from operating cash flow. In 2020, we acquired approximately 13,000 acres of U.S. timberland located in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana through three transactions for an aggregate value of $24.2 million. Approximately $24.1 million of these acquisitions were acquired using like-kind exchange proceeds while the remaining $0.1 million were funded from operating cash flow. Additionally, during 2020, we acquired approximately 2,000 acres of timberland (including approximately 2,000 acres of leased land) in New Zealand for approximately $0.5 million. These acquisitions were funded from operating cash flow.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES TIMBERLAND LEASES U.S. timberland leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms typically range between 30 and 99 years. New Zealand lease arrangements generally consist of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFLs”), forestry rights and land leases. A CFL is a license arrangement to use government or privately owned lands to operate a commercial forest. CFLs generally extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35-year termination notice. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one-year term. Alternatively, some CFLs extend for a specific term. Once a CFL is terminated, we may be able to obtain a forestry right from the subsequent owner. A forestry right is a license arrangement with a private entity to use their lands to operate a commercial forest. Forestry rights terminate either upon the issuance of a termination notice (which can last 35 to 45 years), completion of harvest, or a specified termination date. As of December 31, 2021, the New Zealand subsidiary has three CFLs comprising 11,000 gross acres or 9,000 net plantable acres under termination notice that are being relinquished as harvest activities are concluded, as well as two fixed-term CFLs comprising 3,000 gross acres or 2,000 net plantable acres expiring in 2062. Additionally, the New Zealand subsidiary has two forestry rights comprising 32,000 gross acres or 6,000 net plantable acres under termination notice that are being relinquished as harvest activities are concluded. OTHER NON-TIMBERLAND LEASES In addition to timberland holdings, we lease properties for certain office locations. Significant leased properties include a regional office in Lufkin, Texas; a Pacific Northwest Timber office in Hoquiam, Washington and a New Zealand Timber and Trading headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS	NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES Matariki Forestry Group We maintain a 77% controlling financial interest in Matariki Forestry Group (the “New Zealand subsidiary”), a joint venture that owns or leases approximately 419,000 legal acres of New Zealand timberland. Accordingly, we consolidate the New Zealand subsidiary’s balance sheet and results of operations. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand subsidiary’s 23% noncontrolling interest are reflected as an adjustment to income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates.” Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as the manager of the New Zealand subsidiary. The following table sets forth the income attributable to the New Zealand subsidiary’s noncontrolling interests: 2021 2020 2019 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the New Zealand subsidiary $7,696 $4,920 $8,573 ORM Timber Fund II, Inc. (Fund II), ORM Timber Fund III LLC (Fund III), and ORM Timber Fund IV LLC. (Fund IV) (Collectively, the “Funds”) Upon completion of the Pope Resources merger, we became the manager of three private equity timber funds, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV, consisting of 141,000 acres in the Pacific Northwest, and obtained ownership interests in the Funds of 20%, 5%, and 15%, respectively. Prior to the merger with Pope Resources, the Funds were formed by ORM LLC for the purpose of generating a return on investment through the acquisition, management, value enhancement and sale of timberland properties. Based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, we determined that we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the Funds’ economic success. Therefore, we were considered the primary beneficiary and were required under ASC 810 — Consolidation to consolidate the Funds. Income attributed to third-party investors is reflected as an adjustment to income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates.” On July 21, 2021, we sold the rights to manage Fund III and Fund IV, as well as our ownership interests in both funds to BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment Group (TIG) for an aggregate sales price of $35.9 million and recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income a gain on the sale of $3.7 million under the caption of other operating income (expense), net. Due to the sale of our rights to manage Fund III and Fund IV, we determined that we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the success of Fund III and Fund IV. As a result, Timber Fund III and IV balance sheets and results of operations are only included in our consolidated financial statements through the date of the sale. In addition, we completed the liquidation of Fund II timberland assets through three separate transactions during the third and fourth quarters of 2021 for an aggregate sales price of $156.8 million and recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income an aggregate gain on the sales of $51.5 million, of which $10.3 million was attributable to Rayonier. This consisted of a 13,000 acre sale in Washington on September 30, 2021 for a sales price and gai n of $87.1 million and $35.9 million, respectively, a 5,000 acre sale in Oregon on October 5, 2021 for a sales price and gain of $37.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and a 13,000 acre sale in Oregon on November 1, 2021 for a sales price and gain of $32.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we continue to manage and maintain a 20% ownership interest in Fund II, which is scheduled to terminate in March 2023. Prior to the termination of Fund II, the remaining capital will be distributed to Fund II investors. We continue to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Fund II’s economic success. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and consolidate Fund II under ASC 810 — Consolidation . The obligations of Fund II do not have any recourse to the Company or the Operating Partnership and the assets of Fund II are not available to satisfy the Company or the Operating Partnership’s liabilities. Due to Timber Fund II distribution requirements, we classified the portion of proceeds from Fund II Timberland Dispositions attributable to noncontrolling interests as a current asset under the caption “Restricted Cash, Timber Funds” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we recognized a current liability under the caption “Distribution payable, Timber Funds” and a corresponding decrease in “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , Note 8 — Variable Interest Entities and Note 2 4 — Restricted Cash for additional information. The following table sets forth the income (loss) attributable to the Funds’ noncontrolling interests: 2021 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds: $45,124 ($12,221) — Timber Fund II Carried Interest Incentive Fees As a performance incentive to us as the manager and general partner of Timber Fund II, the Fund agreement provides for a “carried interest,” permitting us to receive a greater allocable share of the Fund’s earnings from investments relative to our capital contributions and correspondingly reducing the noncontrolling interests’ share of those earnings. After distributions sufficient for the Fund to pay each stockholder a return of 8% on its average investment and reduce its invested capital balance to zero, we are entitled to receive a 20% carried interest of any further distributions. Carried interest is earned to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive and preferred dividend payment thresholds have been met. Carried interest is recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based on the contractual conditions set forth in the agreements governing the Fund as if the Fund were terminated and liquidated at the reporting date. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized a gain on Fund II carried interest incentive fees of $3.8 million in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption of other operating income (expense), net. Ferncliff Investors We maintain an ownership interest in Ferncliff Investors, a real estate joint venture entity. In 2017, Ferncliff Management and Ferncliff Investors were formed for the purpose of raising capital from third parties to invest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture entity, Bainbridge Landing LLC, which is developing a five-acre parcel on Bainbridge Island, Washington into a multi-family community containing apartments and townhomes. Ferncliff Management is the manager and 33.33% owner of Ferncliff Investors, with the remaining ownership interest in Ferncliff Investors held by third-party investors. Ferncliff Investors holds a 50% interest in Bainbridge Landing LLC, the joint venture entity that owns and is developing the property. Based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Ferncliff Investor’s economic success. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and are required under ASC 810 — Consolidation to consolidate Ferncliff Investors. The obligations of Ferncliff Investors do not have any recourse to the Company or the Operating Partnership. Bainbridge Landing LLC is considered a voting interests entity. Ferncliff Investors accounts for its interest in the joint venture entity under the equity method because neither it nor the other member can exercise control over Bainbridge Landing LLC. The Ferncliff Investors joint venture agreement provides for liquidation rights and distribution priorities that are disproportionate to each member’s ownership interest. Due to the complex nature of cash distributions to members, net income of the joint venture is allocated to members, including us, using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method. Under the HLBV method, Ferncliff Investors income or loss is allocated to the members based on the period change in each member’s claim on the book value of net assets, excluding capital contributions and distributions made during the period. The following table sets forth the income (loss) attributable to Ferncliff Investors’ noncontrolling interests: 2021 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in Ferncliff Investors: $601 ($526) — NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP Noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership relate to the third-party ownership of redeemable operating partnership Units. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership is computed by applying the weighted average redeemable operating partnership units outstanding during the period as a percentage of the weighted average total units outstanding to the Operating Partnership’s net income for the period. If a noncontrolling unitholder redeems a unit for a registered common share of Rayonier or cash, the noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership will be reduced and the Company’s share in the Operating Partnership will be increased by the fair value of each security at the time of redemption. The following table sets forth the Company’s noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership: 2021 2020 Beginning noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership $130,121 — Issuances of redeemable operating partnership units — 106,752 Adjustment of noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership 42,530 24,393 Conversions of redeemable operating partnership units to common shares (40,676) (496) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership 4,516 528 Other comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership 1,601 2,540 Distributions to noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership (4,269) (3,596) Total noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership $133,823 $130,121

Principal payments due during the next five years and thereafter are as follows: 2022 $325,000 2023 — 2024 — 2025 23,588 2026 227,519 Thereafter 800,000 Total debt $1,376,107 TERM CREDIT AGREEMENT In August 2015, we entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions and other commercial banks to provide $550 million of new credit facilities, including a nine-year $350 million term loan facility. In April 2020, the maturity date of the Term Credit Agreement was extended from August 5, 2024 to April 1, 2028. In connection therewith, we recorded deferred financing costs in the amount of $0.5 million, which are being amortized over the term of the Term Credit Agreement. The periodic interest rate on the term loan facility is subject to a pricing grid based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the periodic interest rate on the term loan facility was LIBOR plus 1.600%. Monthly payments of interest only are due on this loan through maturity. Following the closing of the term loan, we entered into several interest rate swap transactions to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. The term credit agreement allows us to receive annual patronage payments, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. We estimate the effective interest rate on the term loan facility to be approximately 3.0% after consideration of the interest rate swaps and estimated patronage refunds. For additional information on our interest rate swaps see Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities . 3.75% SENIOR NOTES ISSUED MARCH 2012 In March 2012, Rayonier Inc. issued $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022, guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. Semi-annual payments of interest only are due on these notes through maturity. See the subsequent events section of Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for information about the repayment of our Senior Notes due 2022. 2.75% SENIOR NOTES ISSUED MAY 2021 In May 2021, Rayonier, L.P. issued $450 million of 2.75% Senior Notes due 2031, guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. Semi-annual payments of interest only are due on these notes through maturity. The Senior Notes due 2031 were sold at an issue price of 99.195% of their face value, before underwriters discount. Our net proceeds after deducting approximately $3.9 million of underwriting discounts and expenses, were approximately $442.5 million. The discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay $250 million outstanding under our 2020 Incremental Term Loan Agreement. INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT In April 2016, we entered into an incremental term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions to provide a 10-year, $300 million incremental term loan. The periodic interest rate on the incremental term loan agreement is subject to a pricing grid based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. In June 2021, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which decreased the applicable margin from LIBOR plus 1.900% to LIBOR plus 1.6500%. As a result of the debt modification, approximately $0.3 million in third-party expenses have been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” In June 2021, we prepaid $100 million on the $300 million Incremental Term Loan Agreement. In connection with the partial prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, representing the write-off of one-third of the unamortized deferred financing costs. The loss on early extinguishment of debt has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” As of December 31, 2021, the periodic interest rate on the incremental term loan was LIBOR plus 1.650%. Monthly payments of interest only are due on this loan through maturity. Following the closing of the incremental term loan, we entered into several interest rate swap transactions to fix the cost of the facility over its 10-year term. We estimate the effective interest rate on the incremental term loan facility to be approximately 2.4% after consideration of the interest rate swaps and estimated patronage payments. For additional information on our interest rate swaps see Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities . 2020 INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT In April 2020, we entered into an Incremental Term Loan Agreement, which provided for the advancement of a five-year $250 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility. Proceeds from the 2020 Incremental Term Loan Facility were used to fund our acquisition of Pope Resources. In May 2021, the Incremental Term Loan Agreement was fully repaid. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million, representing the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. The loss on early extinguishment of debt has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” 2021 INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT In June 2021, we entered into an Incremental Term Loan Agreement, which provides us the ability to make an advance of $200 million on or before June 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, no advance had been made under this facility. We will use a future advance of $200 million under the 2021 Incremental Term Loan Facility to refinance a portion of the 3.750% Senior Notes due 2022 on a long-term basis, and as such, have excluded $200 million of principal from current maturities of long-term debt, net, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We deferred $0.3 million of commitment fees, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the access period, through June 1, 2022. Additionally, we deferred $0.2 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility, once any future advance is made. See the subsequent events section of Note 1 - S ummary of Signif icant Accounting Policies information about activity on the 2021 Incremental Term Loan subsequent to December 31, 2021. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY In June 2021, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility, originally entered into in 2015, with one amendment to the credit agreement: the amendment decreased the applicable margin from LIBOR plus 1.500% to LIBOR plus 1.2500% and extended its maturity date from April 1, 2025 to June 1, 2026. As a result of the revolver modification, approximately $0.3 million in lender fees have been deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the revolver. In April 2020, we previously amended our Revolving Credit Facility, with two amendments to the credit agreement: the first amendment increased the limit on the Revolving Credit Facility from $200 million to $250 million and extended its maturity date from August 5, 2020 to April 1, 2025, and the second amendment further increased the limit to $300 million. In connection therewith, we recorded deferred financing costs in the amount of $1.2 million, which are being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 25 - Other Assets for additional information about deferred financing costs related to revolving debt. The periodic interest rate on the revolving credit facility is subject to a pricing grid based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the periodic interest rate on the revolving credit facility was LIBOR plus 1.250%, with an unused commitment fee of 0.175%. Monthly payments of interest only are due on this loan through maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we made no borrowings or repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility . At December 31, 2021, we had available borrowings of $299.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $0.9 million to secure our outstanding letters of credit. NEW ZEALAND SUBSIDIARY DEBT WORKING CAPITAL FACILITY In June 2021, the New Zealand subsidiary renewed its NZ$20 million working capital facility for an additional 12-month term. The NZ$20 million working capital facility is available for short-term operating cash flow needs of the New Zealand subsidiary. This facility holds a variable interest rate indexed to the 90-day New Zealand Bank Bill rate (“BKBM”). The margins are set for the term of the facility. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the New Zealand subsidiary made no borrowings or repayments on its working capital facility. At December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance on the working capital facility. SHAREHOLDER LOAN DUE 2025 In September 2020, the New Zealand subsidiary made a capital distribution to its partners on a pro rata basis in order to redeem certain equity interests. A portion of this capital distribution was reinvested by the partners in shareholder loans to the New Zealand subsidiary. Our capital distribution and portion of the shareholder loan are eliminated in consolidation. The capital distribution to the minority shareholder and its reinvestment in the shareholder loan resulted in the recording of a noncontrolling interest share redemption of $5.1 million and a loan payable by the New Zealand subsidiary in the amount of $23.3 million due in 2025 at a fixed interest rate of 2.95%. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on the shareholder loan is $23.6 million. Except for changes in the New Zealand foreign exchange rate, there have been no adjustments to the carrying value of the shareholder loan since its inception. SHAREHOLDER LOAN DUE 2026 In July 2021, the New Zealand subsidiary made a capital distribution to its partners on a pro rata basis in order to redeem certain equity interests, which was reinvested by the partners in shareholder loans to the New Zealand subsidiary. Our capital distribution and portion of the shareholder loan are eliminated in consolidation. The capital distribution to the minority shareholder and its reinvestment in the shareholder loan resulted in the recording of a loan payable by the New Zealand subsidiary in the amount of $28.1 million due in 2026 at a fixed interest rate of 3.64%. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on the shareholder loan due 2026 is $27.5 million. Except for changes in the New Zealand foreign exchange rate, there have been no adjustments to the carrying value of the shareholder loan since its inception. See Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests for more information regarding the New Zealand subsidiary. LONG-TERM DEBT ASSUMED IN THE POPE RESOURCES MERGER Northwest Farm Credit Services Credit Facility We assumed five tranches of a credit facility payable to Northwest Farm Credit Services (the “NWFCS Credit Facility”) totaling $45.0 million. In September 2021, we repaid the $45 million outstanding under our credit facility with Northwest Farm Credit Services (NWFCS). We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $7.2 million, representing the net write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments, partially offset by a $6.2 million loss related to a make-whole fee due to debt prepayment. The net gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.9 million has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” Fund II Mortgages Payable We assumed Fund II’s two mortgages payable (the “Fund II Mortgages Payable”) to MetLife totaling $25.0 million. In September 2021, we repaid the $25.0 million outstanding under the Fund II Mortgages payable to MetLife. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $6 thousand, representing the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. The loss on early extinguishment of debt has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” Fund III Mortgages Payable We assumed Fund III’s two mortgages payable (the “Fund III Mortgages Payable”) to NWFCS totaling $32.4 million. In July 2021, we sold the rights to manage Fund III and Fund IV, as well as our ownership interests in both funds. Following the sale, Fund III’s two mortgages payable to NWFCS are no longer recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021. See Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests for additional information. DEBT COVENANTS — EXCLUDING TIMBER FUNDS In connection with our $350 million Term Credit Agreement, $200 million Incremental Term Loan Agreement, $200 million 2021 Incremental Term Loan Agreement and $300 million Revolving Credit Facility, customary covenants must be met, the most significant of which include interest coverage and leverage ratios. The covenants listed below, which are the most significant financial covenants in effect as of December 31, 2021, are calculated on a trailing 12-month basis: Covenant Requirement Actual Ratio Favorable Covenant EBITDA to consolidated interest expense should not be less than 2.5 to 1 12.6 to 1 10.1 Covenant debt to covenant net worth plus covenant debt shall not exceed 65 % 43 % 22 % In addition to these financial covenants listed above, the Senior Notes due 2022, Senior Notes due 2031, Term Credit Agreement, Incremental Term Loan Agreement, 2021 Incremental Term Loan Facility, and Revolving Credit Facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	12 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES We are exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks. We also use derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposure to foreign currency risk due to the translation of the investment in Rayonier’s New Zealand-based operations from New Zealand dollars to U.S. dollars. Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, we record our derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the investment is partially or completely liquidated. The changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE AND OPTION CONTRACTS The New Zealand subsidiary’s export sales are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore its cash flows are affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the New Zealand dollar and the U.S. dollar. This exposure is partially managed by a natural currency hedge, as ocean freight payments and shareholder distributions are also paid in U.S. dollars. We manage any excess foreign exchange exposure through the use of derivative financial instruments. The New Zealand subsidiary typically hedges 50% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following twelve months forecasted sales and purchases less distributions and up to 75% of the forward 12 to 18 months. Additionally, the New Zealand subsidiary will occasionally hedge up to 50% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following 18 to 48 months forecasted sales and purchases, less distributions, when the New Zealand dollar is at a cyclical low versus the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand subsidiary’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of December 31, 2021, foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through December 2023. Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. We may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive (loss) income for de-designated hedges remains in AOCI until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. INTEREST RATE PRODUCTS We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt and on anticipated debt issuances. We use variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps and forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, we report the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassify them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. To the extent we de-designate or terminate a cash flow hedging relationship and the associated hedged item continues to exist, any unrealized gain or loss of the cash flow hedge at the time of de-designation remains in AOCI and is amortized using the straight-line method through interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged item. To the extent the associated hedged item is no longer effective, the gain or loss is reclassified out of AOCI to earnings immediately. INTEREST RATE SWAPS During the second quarter of 2021, we terminated and cash settled $250 million in notional value of our interest rate swaps, maturing in 2030, in connection with the repayment of $250 million outstanding under the 2020 Incremental Term Loan. Upon termination of the swap, we received $6.8 million from our counterparty. As of December 31, 2021, there was a $15.9 million gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with the terminated interest rate swap, which will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged items, as the originally hedged cash flows remain probable. During the second quarter of 2021, we terminated and cash settled $100 million in notional value of our interest rate swaps, maturing in 2026, in connection with the prepayment of $100 million on the 2026 Incremental Term Loan. Upon termination of the swap, we paid $2.2 million to our counterparty that was recognized immediately into earnings as interest expense, as the forecasted cash flows will no longer occur. See Note 10 — Debt for additional information. The following table contains information on the outstanding interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2021: Outstanding Interest Rate Swaps (a) Date Entered Into Term Notional Amount Related Debt Facility Fixed Rate of Swap Bank Margin on Debt Total Effective Interest Rate (b) August 2015 9 years $170,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.20 % 1.60 % 3.80 % August 2015 9 years 180,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.35 % 1.60 % 3.95 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.65 % 3.25 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.65 % 3.25 % (a) All interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. (b) Rate is before estimated patronage payments. TREASURY LOCKS During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into three treasury lock agreements, which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Prior to expiration, we de-designated and settled the treasury locks by converting them into interest rate swap lock agreements (discussed below). As of December 31, 2021, there was a $17.3 million loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with the settled treasury locks, which will be reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the life of the hedged item. INTEREST RATE SWAP LOCKS Upon de-designation, we converted the above treasury lock agreements to interest rate swap lock agreements, which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. During the second quarter of 2020, we de-designated and partially cash settled $11.1 million of the interest rate swap locks and converted them into an interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2021, there was a $1.2 million loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with settled interest rate swap locks, which will be reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the life of the hedged item. FORWARD-STARTING INTEREST RATE SWAPS During the second quarter of 2021, we de-designated and settled $325 million in notional value of our forward-starting interest rate swap, maturing in 2032, by converting it into a new forward-starting interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2021, there was a $9.7 million gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with the converted forward-starting interest rate swap, which will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged item. The following table contains information on the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2021: Outstanding Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps (a) Date Entered Into Term Notional Amount Fixed Rate of Swap Related Debt Facility Forward Date Maximum Period Ending for Forecasted Issuance Date April 2020 4 years $100,000 0.88 % Term Credit Agreement August 2024 N/A May 2020 4 years 50,000 0.74 % Term Credit Agreement August 2024 N/A May 2021 (b) 7 years 200,000 0.77 % Future Issuance February 2022 N/A (a) All forward-starting interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. (b) The forward-starting interest rate swap entered into in May 2021 contained an embedded mark-to-market gain, which we recovered through a reduced charge in the fixed rate over what would have been charged for an at-market swap. See the subsequent events section of Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information regarding the maturation of this forward-starting interest rate swap. CARBON OPTIONS The New Zealand subsidiary enters into carbon options from time to time to sell carbon assets. Changes in fair value of the carbon option contracts are recorded in “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net” as the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of December 31, 2021, all existing carbon option contracts have expired. The following table demonstrates the impact, gross of tax, of our derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020, using market information and what we believe to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Asset (Liability) (a) Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents, excluding Timber Funds $358,680 $358,680 — $80,454 $80,454 — Cash and cash equivalents, Timber Funds 3,493 3,493 — 4,053 4,053 — Restricted cash, Timber Funds (b) 6,341 6,341 — — — — Restricted cash, excluding Timber Funds (c) 625 625 — 2,975 2,975 — Current maturities of long-term debt, excluding Timber Funds (d) (124,965) — (125,288) — — — Long-term debt, excluding Timber Funds (d) (1,242,819) — (1,245,148) (1,300,336) — (1,313,631) Long-term debt, Timber Funds (d) — — — (60,179) — (60,474) Interest rate swaps (e) (15,582) — (15,582) (51,580) — (51,580) Forward-starting interest rate swaps (e) 11,482 — 11,482 (12,529) — (12,529) Foreign currency exchange contracts (e) (1,948) — (1,948) 6,018 — 6,018 Foreign currency option contracts (e) (42) — (42) 1,515 — 1,515 Noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership (f) 133,823 133,823 — 130,121 130,121 — (a) We did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020. (b) Restricted cash, Timber Funds represents the portion of proceeds from Fund II Timberland Dispositions required to be distributed to noncontrolling interests. See Note 24 - Restricted Cash for additional information. (c) Restricted cash, excluding Timber Funds represents cash held in escrow. See Note 24 - Restricted Cash for additional information. (d) The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of deferred financing costs, unamortized discounts and fair value adjustments on non-revolving debt.. See Note 10 — Debt for additional information. (e) See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Balance Sheet classification of our derivative financial instruments. (f) Noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership is neither an asset nor liability and is classified as temporary equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This relates to the ownership of Rayonier, L.P. units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership — The fair value of noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership is determined based on the period-end closing price of Rayonier Inc. common shares.

ENVIRONMENTAL NATURAL RESOURCE

ENVIRONMENTAL NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIES	12 Months Ended

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIES	ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIESVarious federal and state environmental laws in the states in which we operate place cleanup or restoration liability on the current and former owners of affected real estate. These laws are often a source of “strict liability,” meaning that an owner or operator need not necessarily have caused, or even been aware of, the release of contaminated materials. Similarly, there are certain environmental laws that allow state, federal, and tribal trustees (collectively, the “Trustees”) to bring suit against property owners to recover damage for injuries to natural resources. Like the liability that attaches to current property owners in the cleanup context, liability for natural resource damages (“NRD”) can attach to a property simply because an injury to natural resources resulted from releases of contaminated materials on the owner’s property, regardless of culpability for the release. In connection to the merger with Pope Resources, we assumed ownership of certain real estate in Port Gamble, Washington, which requires environmental remediation under these laws. An analysis of environmental and NRD liabilities from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 is shown below: Port Gamble, WA Non-current portion at December 31, 2020 $10,615 Plus: Current portion 1,026 Total Balance at December 31, 2020 11,641 Expenditures charged to liabilities (941) Increase in liabilities 105 Total Balance at December 31, 2021 10,805 Less: Current portion (695) Non-current portion at December 31, 2021 $10,110 These estimates were based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. See Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources for information regarding the final allocation of fair value to environmental and NRD liabilities assumed in the merger with Pope Resources. It is expected that the millsite cleanup and NRD restoration will occur over the nex t one NRD costs are subject to change as the scope of the restoration projects become more clearly defined. It is reasonably possible that these components of the liability may increase as the project progresses. Management continues to monitor the Port Gamble cleanup process and will make adjustments as needed. Should any future circumstances result in a change to the estimated cost of the project, we will record an appropriate adjustment to the liability in the period it becomes known and when we can reasonably estimate the amount. For further information on the timing and amount of future payments related to our environmental remediation liabilities, see Note 13 - Commitments .

HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS	HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS We continuously assess potential alternative uses of our timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. We periodically transfer, via a sale or contribution from the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. We also acquire HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, we also selectively pursue various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, we also invest in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties. Changes in higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 are shown below: Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments Land and Timber Development Investments Total Non-current portion at December 31, 2020 $79,901 $28,617 $108,518 Plus: Current portion (a) 212 6,544 6,756 Total Balance at December 31, 2020 80,113 35,161 115,274 Non-cash cost of land and improved development (11,894) (8,211) (20,105) Amortization of parcel real estate development investments — (5,923) (5,923) Timber depletion from harvesting activities and basis of timber sold in real estate sales (1,301) — (1,301) Capitalized real estate development investments (b) — 21,963 21,963 Capital expenditures (silviculture) 191 — 191 Intersegment transfers 13,281 — 13,281 Purchase price allocation adjustment (c) 8,238 — 8,238 Total Balance at December 31, 2021 88,628 42,990 131,618 Less: Current portion (a) (718) (24,022) (24,740) Non-current portion at December 31, 2021 $87,910 $18,968 $106,878 (a) The current portion of Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments is recorded in Inventory.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS We have one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans. We closed enrollment in the pension plans to salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005. Effective December 31, 2016, we froze benefits for all employees participating in the pension plan. In lieu of the pension plan, we provide those employees with an enhanced 401(k) plan match similar to what is currently provided to employees hired after December 31, 2005. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. The following tables set forth the change in the projected benefit obligation and plan assets and reconcile the funded status and the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the pension and postretirement benefit plans for the two years ended December 31: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in Projected Benefit Obligation Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $100,469 $90,261 $1,886 $1,634 Service cost — — 8 6 Interest cost 2,228 2,706 45 51 Actuarial loss (gain) (5,112) 11,413 (35) 209 Benefits paid (3,519) (3,413) (14) (14) Expenses paid (267) (498) — — Projected benefit obligation at end of year $93,799 $100,469 $1,890 $1,886 Change in Plan Assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $78,883 $66,460 — — Actual return on plan assets 9,896 13,329 — — Employer contributions 86 3,005 14 14 Benefits paid (3,519) (3,413) (14) (14) Other expense (267) (498) — — Fair value of plan assets at end of year $85,079 $78,883 — — Funded Status at End of Year: Net accrued benefit cost ($8,720) ($21,586) ($1,890) ($1,886) Amounts Recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Consist of: Current liabilities ($86) ($86) ($46) ($41) Noncurrent liabilities (8,634) (21,500) (1,844) (1,845) Net amount recognized ($8,720) ($21,586) ($1,890) ($1,886) For pension and postretirement plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets, the following table sets forth the projected and accumulated benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for the two years ended December 31: 2021 2020 Projected benefit obligation $93,799 $100,469 Accumulated benefit obligation 93,799 100,469 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 1,890 1,886 Fair value of plan assets 85,079 78,883 ACTUARIAL (GAIN) LOSS PENSION Key components of the actuarial gains and losses contributing to the period change in the benefit obligation are as follows: • Changes in participant demographics resulted in an actuarial gain of approximately $0.5 million, which is primarily due to high mortality among participants. • Changes in mortality assumptions resulted in an actuarial loss of approximately $0.3 million. • Changes in the discount rate from 2.26% to 2.65% resulted in an actuarial gain of approximately $5.1 million. POSTRETIREMENT Key components of the actuarial gains and losses contributing to the period change in the benefit obligation are as follows: • Re-measurement of current census data resulted in a demographic loss of $0.1 million. • Changes in the discount rate from 2.42% to 2.75% resulted in an actuarial gain of approximately $0.1 million. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Net gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income for the three years ended December 31 are as follows: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Net gains (losses) $11,262 ($1,587) ($1,514) $40 ($207) ($285) Net gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognized as a component of pension and postretirement expense for the three years ended December 31 are as follows: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Amortization of losses (gains) $1,154 $861 $449 $20 $8 — ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (AOCI) Net losses that have not yet been included in pension and postretirement expense for the two years ended December 31, but have been recognized as a component of AOCI are as follows: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net losses ($12,627) ($25,043) ($431) ($491) Deferred income tax benefit 1,216 1,216 6 6 AOCI ($11,411) ($23,827) ($425) ($485) NET PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT (CREDIT) COST The following tables set forth the components of net pension and postretirement benefit (credit) cost that have been recognized during the three years ended December 31: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Components of Net Periodic Benefit (Credit) Cost Service cost — — — $8 $6 $6 Interest cost 2,228 2,706 3,197 45 51 54 Expected return on plan assets (3,746) (3,504) (3,107) — — — Amortization of losses (gains) 1,154 861 449 20 8 — Net periodic benefit (credit) cost ($364) $63 $539 $73 $65 $60 The service cost component of our benefit expense is recorded within the operating expense line item “Selling and general expenses” within the Consolidated Statements of Income. All other components of the benefit costs expense are included within the “Interest and miscellaneous income, net” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS The following table sets forth the principal assumptions inherent in the determination of benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost of the pension and postretirement benefit plans as of December 31: Pension Postretirement 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31: Discount rate 2.65 % 2.26 % 3.06 % 2.75 % 2.42 % 3.16 % Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31: Discount rate 2.26 % 3.06 % 4.11 % 2.42 % 3.16 % 4.18 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 5.72 % 5.72 % 5.72 % — — — DISCOUNT RATE At December 31, 2021, the pension plan’s discount rate was 2.7%. The discount rate is derived from the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) Pension Discount Curve (f/k/a Citigroup). The Pension Discount Curve (PDC) is a set of yields on hypothetical AA, zero coupon bonds whose maturities range from 6 months up to 30 years. The yields of the PDC are used to discount pension liabilities. The PDC is calculated based on a universe of AA rated corporate bonds from the FTSE US Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index and the yields of the FTSE Treasury model curve. The pension plan's future expected cash flows are then matched to the spot rates on the yield curve and a single equivalent discount rate is determined, which produces the same present value as the spot rates. EXPECTED LONG-TERM RETURN ON PLAN ASSETS In 2021, the expected return on plan assets remained at 5.7%, which is based on historical returns on current asset allocations and expected returns using the Black-Litterman method. INVESTMENT OF PLAN ASSETS Our Pension and Savings Plan Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversee the pension plans’ investment program, which is designed to maximize returns and provide sufficient liquidity to meet plan obligations while maintaining acceptable risk levels. The investment approach emphasizes diversification by allocating the plans’ assets among asset categories and selecting investment managers whose various investment methodologies will be minimally correlative with each other. In 2020, we transitioned to a liability-driven investment (“LDI”) strategy. An LDI strategy focuses on maintaining a close to fully-funded status over the long-term with minimal funded status risk. This is achieved by investing more of the plan assets in fixed income instruments to more closely match the duration of the plan liability. The investment allocation to fixed income instruments will increase as the plans' funded status increases. Investment target allocation percentages for equity securities can range up to 80 percent. Our pension plans’ asset allocation (excluding short-term investments) at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Percentage of Asset Category 2021 2020 Domestic equity securities 29 % 44 % International equity securities 18 % 30 % Domestic fixed income securities 51 % 21 % International fixed income securities — 3 % Real estate fund 2 % 2 % Total 100 % 100 % Investments within the equity categories may include large capitalization, small capitalization and emerging market securities. Pension assets did not include a direct investment in Rayonier common shares during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. NET ASSET VALUE MEASUREMENTS Separate investment accounts are measured using the unit value calculated based on the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the underlying assets. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by each fund less liabilities divided by the units outstanding as of the valuation date. These funds are not publicly traded; however, the unit price calculation is based on observable market inputs of the funds’ underlying assets. The following table sets forth the net asset value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2021 or 2020: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Asset Category Investments at Net Asset Value: Separate Investment Accounts $85,079 $78,883 Total Investments at Net Asset Value $85,079 $78,883 CASH FLOWS Our expected benefit payments to be made for the next 10 years are as follows: Pension Postretirement 2022 $3,896 $46 2023 4,077 50 2024 4,242 53 2025 4,389 56 2026 4,498 60 2027-2031 23,525 359 We have no mandatory pension contribution requirements in 2022. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS We provide a defined contribution plan to all of our eligible employees. Upon completion of the merger with Pope Resources, former eligible Pope Resource employees were immediately eligible to participate in the Rayonier 401(k) plan. Pope Resources employees’ year of service were credited to the 401(k) plan for vesting purposes. Company match contributions charged to expense for these plans were $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The defined contribution plan includes Rayonier common shares with a fair market value of $11.0 million and $8.5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 1, 2016, the Rayonier Inc. Common Stock Fund was closed to new contributions. Transfers out of the fund will continue to be permitted, but no new investments or transfers into the fund are allowed.

INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS

INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS	INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS The Rayonier Incentive Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) provides up to 15.8 million shares to be granted for incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units, subject to certain limitations. At December 31, 2021, a total of 2.4 million shares were available for future grants under the Stock Plan. Under the Stock Plan, shares available for issuance are reduced by 1 share for each option or right granted and by 2.27 shares for each performance share, restricted share or restricted stock unit granted. We issue new shares of stock upon the exercise of stock options, the granting of restricted stock, and the vesting of performance shares and restricted stock units. A summary of our stock-based compensation cost is presented below: 2021 2020 2019 Selling and general expenses $8,255 $6,839 $6,416 Cost of sales 816 693 378 Timber and Timberlands, net (a) 206 170 110 Other operating expense, net (b) — 324 — Total stock-based compensation $9,277 $8,026 $6,904 Tax benefit recognized related to stock-based compensation expense (c) $487 $421 $362 (a) Represents amounts capitalized as part of the overhead allocation of timber-related costs. (b) Represents expense associated with the acceleration of share-based compensation on Pope replacement awards related to qualifying terminations. See Note 27 - Charges for Integration and Restructuring for additional details. (c) A valuation allowance is recorded against the tax benefit recognized as we do not expect to be able to realize the benefit in the future. FAIR VALUE CALCULATIONS BY AWARD RESTRICTED STOCK Restricted stock granted to employees under the Stock Plan generally vests in fourths on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock granted to senior management generally vests in thirds on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the grant date. Periodically, other one-time restricted stock grants are issued to employees for special purposes, such as new hire, promotion or retention, and can vest ratably over, or upon completion of, a defined period of time. Generally, holders of restricted stock receive dividend equivalent payments on outstanding restricted shares. Restricted stock granted to members of the board of directors generally vests immediately upon issuance and is subject to certain holding requirements. The fair value of each share granted is equal to the share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. We have elected to value each grant in total and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis from the grant date of the award to the latest vesting date. As permitted, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate for non-vested shares. Accordingly, unexpected forfeitures will lower stock-based compensation during the period in which they occur. REPLACEMENT RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS FROM THE MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES As a result of the merger with Pope Resources, Rayonier issued 69,176 shares of restricted stock awards (“replacement awards”) in connection with unvested Pope Resources restricted units. Eligible outstanding Pope Resources restricted units were canceled and exchanged for replacement awards, pursuant to an exchange ratio in the merger agreement designed to maintain the intrinsic value of the awards immediately prior to the exchange. The replacement awards issued have similar vesting provisions as the terms of existing Rayonier restricted stock. Expense for the replacement awards that were not fully vested prior to the date of the merger is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining service period of approximately 16 months unless a qualifying termination occurs. A qualifying termination of an awardee will result in the acceleration of vesting and expense recognition in the period that the qualifying termination occurs. Qualifying terminations during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 resulted in the accelerated vesting of 1,430 and 15,049 of the replacement awards and recognition of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million of expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there was $0.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost attributable to our restricted stock. We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of 1 year. A summary of our restricted stock is presented below: 2021 2020 2019 Restricted shares granted (a) 22,140 100,452 24,592 Weighted average price of restricted shares granted $37.36 $23.15 $30.90 Intrinsic value of restricted stock outstanding (b) $3,062 $4,666 $5,540 Grant date fair value of restricted stock vested 3,121 2,755 5,339 Cash used to purchase common shares from current and former employees to pay withholding tax requirements on restricted shares vested 869 566 1,610 (a) The year ended December 31, 2020 includes 69,176 replacement awards issued as a result of the merger with Pope Resources. (b) Intrinsic value of restricted stock outstanding is based on the market price of the Company’s stock at December 31, 2021. 2021 Number of Weighted Non-vested Restricted Shares at January 1, 158,820 $28.47 Granted 22,140 37.36 Vested (a) (104,917) 29.74 Cancelled (181) 34.71 Non-vested Restricted Shares at December 31, 75,862 $29.29 (a) The year ended December 31, 2021 includes 1,430 replacement awards vested as a result of acceleration due to qualifying terminations. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS In April 2019, we began granting restricted stock units instead of restricted stock to employees. Most attributes of our restricted stock described herein, including dividend payments, fair value measurement and expense recognition, apply equally to restricted stock units granted under the Stock Plan. However, beginning with the restricted stock units granted in 2021, there is no distinction between the vesting characteristics of restricted stock units granted to senior management and those granted to all other employees. Restricted stock units generally vest in fourths on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date. As of December 31, 2021, there was $7.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost attributable to our restricted stock units. We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. A summary of our restricted stock units is presented below: 2021 2020 2019 Restricted stock units granted 129,290 171,409 103,634 Weighted average price of restricted stock units granted $33.59 $22.58 $31.51 Intrinsic value of restricted stock units outstanding (a) $15,095 $7,801 $3,351 Grant date fair value of restricted stock units vested 493 218 2 Cash used to purchase common shares from current and former employees to pay withholding tax requirements on restricted stock units vested 189 47 1 (a) Intrinsic value of restricted stock units outstanding is based on the market price of the Company’s stock at December 31, 2021. 2021 Number of Weighted Non-vested Restricted Stock Units at January 1, 265,522 $25.75 Granted 129,290 33.59 Vested (18,998) 25.94 Cancelled (1,798) 29.37 Non-vested Restricted Stock Units at December 31, 374,016 $28.44 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS Our performance share units generally vest upon completion of a three-year period. The number of shares, if any, that are ultimately awarded is contingent upon our total shareholder return versus selected peer group companies. The performance share payout is based on a market condition, and as such, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date, which is then recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Additionally, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate for non-vested units. As such, unexpected forfeitures will lower stock-based compensation during the period in which they occur. The Stock Plan allows for the cash settlement of the required withholding tax on performance share unit awards. As of December 31, 2021, there was $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to our performance share unit awards, which is attributable to awards granted in 2019, 2020 and 2021. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. A summary of our performance share units is presented below: 2021 2020 2019 Common shares reserved for performance shares granted during year 191,203 361,870 232,684 Weighted average fair value of performance share units granted $36.10 $29.59 $35.99 Intrinsic value of outstanding performance share units (a) $16,360 $11,711 $10,758 Fair value of performance shares vested 1,738 3,522 6,387 Cash used to purchase common shares from current and former employees to pay withholding tax requirements on performance shares vested 559 992 2,639 (a) Intrinsic value of outstanding performance share units is based on the market price of the Company's stock at December 31, 2021. 2021 Number Weighted Outstanding Performance Share units at January 1, 398,607 $34.17 Granted 109,259 36.10 Units Distributed (102,505) 40.27 Outstanding Performance Share units at December 31, 405,361 $33.16 Expected volatility was estimated using daily returns on the Company’s common shares for the three-year period ending on the grant date. The risk-free rate was based on the 3-year U.S. Treasury rate on the date of the award. The dividend yield was not used to calculate fair value as awards granted receive dividend equivalents. The following table provides an overview of the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the awards granted for the three years ended December 31, 2021: 2021 2020 2019 Expected volatility 35.6 % 32.6 % 18.4 % Risk-free rate 0.4 % 0.3 % 2.3 % NON-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option granted under the Stock Plan is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Under the Stock Plan, the maximum term is 10 years from the grant date. A summary of the status of our stock options as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 is presented below: 2021 Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate Options outstanding at January 1, 340,985 $34.07 Exercised (186,590) 32.31 Cancelled or expired (30,225) 34.25 Options outstanding at December 31, 124,170 36.67 1.27 $458 Options exercisable at December 31, 124,170 $36.67 1.27 $458 A summary of additional information pertaining to our stock options is presented below: 2021 2020 2019 Intrinsic value of options exercised (a) $916 $108 $475 Cash received from exercise of options 5,922 1,368 1,260 (a) Intrinsic value of options exercised is the amount by which the fair value of the stock on the exercise date exceeded the exercise price of the option. As of December 31, 2021, compensation cost related to stock options was fully recognized.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	12 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Rayonier is a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and therefore generally does not pay U.S. federal or state income tax. As of December 31, 2021, Rayonier owns a 97.8% interest in the Operating Partnership and conducts substantially all of its timberland operations through the Operating Partnership. The taxable income or loss generated by the Operating Partnership is passed through and reported to its unitholders (including the Company) on a Schedule K-1 for inclusion in each unitholder’s income tax return. Certain operations, including log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the entitlement, development and sale of HBU properties, are conducted through our TRS. The TRS subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax. The New Zealand timber operations are conducted by the New Zealand subsidiary, which is subject to corporate-level tax at 28% in New Zealand and is treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS The provision for income taxes for each of the three years ended December 31 follows: 2021 2020 2019 Current U.S. federal ($1,893) ($237) $2 State (536) (339) (122) Foreign (11,425) (5,391) (1,542) (13,854) (5,967) (1,662) Deferred U.S. federal (6,288) 8,355 465 State (1,623) 325 17 Foreign (2,007) (3,027) (11,278) (9,918) 5,653 (10,796) Changes in valuation allowance 9,111 (6,695) (482) Total ($14,661) ($7,009) ($12,940) A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the actual income tax rate for each of the three years ended December 31 follows: 2021 2020 2019 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate ($47,280) (21.0) % ($7,726) (21.0) % ($16,930) (21.0) % U.S. and foreign REIT income 44,316 19.7 16,569 45.0 19,902 24.7 Matariki Group and Rayonier New Zealand Ltd (12,927) (5.7) (7,698) (20.8) (11,181) (13.9) Change in valuation allowance 9,111 4.0 (6,695) (18.2) (482) (0.6) REIT Built-in Gain (2,215) (1.0) — — — — State Net Operating Loss — — 1,118 3.0 — — Prepaid land sales — — (1,084) (2.9) — — Internal transfer of assets deferred — — — — (1,815) (2.3) Foreign income tax withholding (505) (0.2) (721) (2.0) (1,535) (1.9) Sale of Timber Funds (2,399) (1.1) — — — — Other (2,762) (1.2) (772) (2.1) (899) (1.1) Income tax expense as reported for net income ($14,661) (6.5) % ($7,009) (19.0) % ($12,940) (16.1) % The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 21 percent U.S. statutory rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. DEFERRED TAXES Deferred income taxes result from differences between the timing of recognizing revenues and expenses for financial book purposes versus income tax purposes. The nature of the temporary differences and the resulting net deferred tax asset/liability for the two years ended December 31 follows: 2021 2020 Gross deferred tax assets: Pension, postretirement and other employee benefits $597 $1,403 New Zealand subsidiary 21,790 23,461 CBPC tax credit carry forwards 13,701 14,555 Capitalized real estate costs 1,656 1,459 U.S. TRS net operating loss 12,489 18,363 Land basis difference 9,061 9,468 Other 5,367 5,502 Total gross deferred tax assets 64,661 74,211 Less: Valuation allowance (36,904) (46,015) Total deferred tax assets after valuation allowance $27,757 $28,196 Gross deferred tax liabilities: Accelerated depreciation (46) (38) New Zealand subsidiary (91,388) (98,245) Other (6,059) (4,884) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (97,493) (103,167) Net deferred tax liability reported as noncurrent ($69,736) ($74,971) Net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards as of the two years ended December 31 follows: Tax Effected Balance Expiration 2021 U.S. Federal NOL Carryforwards- Post TCJA (a) $10,687 None U.S State NOL Carryforwards (b) 1,802 2033 Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit (c) 13,701 2023 2020 U.S. Federal NOL Carryforwards- Pre TCJA (a) $2,363 2036 U.S. Federal NOL Carryforwards- Post TCJA (a) 13,017 None U.S State NOL Carryforwards (b) 2,983 2031 Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit (c) 14,555 2023 (a) The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA lifted the 20-year federal NOL Carryforward period. Net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 have an indefinite carryforward period. (b) The U.S. state NOL is made up of several jurisdictions that expire in various future years. As of December 31, 2021, no state NOL is set to expire before December 31, 2033. As of December 31, 2020, no state NOL was set to expire before December 31, 2031. (c) The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 was signed into law on December 20, 2019. The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 included the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (Tax Extenders Act), which temporarily renewed approximately two dozen credits that previously expired or were set to expire at the end of 2019. The Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit was one of the credits extended under this act. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since 2015, we have had a 100% valuation allowance against the U.S. taxable REIT subsidiary's deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. During 2021, the net deferred tax assets decreased by $9.1 million. As a result, we recorded a change in the valuation allowance of $9.1 million related to the U.S. TRS's deferred tax assets, net of liabilities. TAX STATUTES The following table provides detail of the tax years that remain open to examination by the IRS and other significant taxing jurisdictions: Taxing Jurisdiction Open Tax Years U.S. Internal Revenue Service 2018 - 2020 New Zealand Inland Revenue 2016 - 2020 TAX CHARACTERISTICS OF DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS The taxable nature of the dividend distributions paid for each of the three years ended December 31 follows: 2021 2020 2019 Total dividends/distributions paid per common share/unit $1.08 $1.08 $1.08 Tax characteristics: Capital gain 100 % 100 % 100 %

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Rayonier Inc.'s Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. Rayonier, L.P.'s Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Operating Partnership has a controlling interest. For additional information regarding our consolidated entities with a noncontrolling interest component, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests . All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned a 97.8% interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 2.2% interest owned by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Rayonier Inc. has exclusive control of the day-to-day m anagement of the Operating Partnership. DISPOSITION OF TIMBER FUNDS Upon completion of the Pope Resources merger in May 2020, we became the manager of three private equity timber funds, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV, consisting of 141,000 acres in the Pacific Northwest, and obtained ownership interests in the Funds of 20%, 5%, and 15%, respectively. On July 21, 2021, we sold the rights to manage Fund III and IV, as well as our ownership interests in both funds to BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment Group (TIG) for an aggregate sales price of $35.9 million. Due to the sale of our rights to manage Fund III and Fund IV, we determined that we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the success of Fund III and Fund IV. As a result, Timber Fund III and IV balance sheets and results of operations are only included in our consolidated financial statements through the date of the sale. For additional information on Fund III and IV, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests . In addition, we completed the liquidation of Fund II timberland assets through three separate transactions during the third and fourth quarters of 2021 for an aggregate sales price of $156.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, we continue to manage and maintain a 20% ownership interest in Fund II, which is scheduled to terminate in March 2023. Prior to the termination of Fund II, the remaining capital will be distributed to Fund II investors. For additional information regarding Fund II, see Note 7 - Noncontrolling Interests , Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities and Note 24 - Restricted Cash .
Reclassifications	RECLASSIFICATIONS Effective for year ended December 31, 2021, we have updated our presentation for the employee benefit pension plan to include a separate line item “Expenses paid,” which was previously reported as part of “Actuarial loss (gain).” “Actuarial loss (gain)” now solely represents changes resulting from adjustments to actuarial assumptions and estimates. The other categories of the pension plan remain unchanged, and this reclassification had no impact on the total projected benefit obligation. See Note 20 - Employee Benefit Plans .
Use of Estimates	USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There are risks inherent in estimating and therefore actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are primarily amounts due to us for the sale of timber and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory	INVENTORY Higher and better use (“HBU”) real estate properties that are expected to be sold within one year are included in inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. HBU properties that are expected to be sold after one year are included in a separate balance sheet line entitled “Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments.” See below for additional information.
Prepaid Logging Roads	PREPAID LOGGING ROADS    Costs for roads built in the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand to access particular tracts to be harvested in the upcoming 24 months to 60 months are recorded as prepaid logging roads. We charge such costs to expense as timber is harvested using an amortization rate determined annually as the total cost of prepaid roads divided by the estimated tons of timber to be accessed by those roads. The prepaid balance is classified as short-term or long-term based on the upcoming harvest schedule.
Patronage Dividends	PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS As a requirement of the Farm Credit Act, borrowers in the Farm Credit System are required to purchase equity in Farm Credit lenders. The equity balance primarily represents shares of Class A common stock in CoBank valued at $100 par value. CoBank equity purchases continue annually until a balance equal to 8% of our 10-year historical average loan balance at CoBank is obtained. Initially, a minimal equity purchase was made in cash upon receiving the loan proceeds. Subsequently, equity purchases are made annually through patronage dividends, of which approximately 88% is cash and 12% is equity. The stock has no cash value until retired. As our loans are paid in full, the stock is generally retired over a 10-year loan base period beginning in the year following loan payoff.
Deferred Financing Costs	DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS    Deferred financing costs related to revolving debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the revolving debt using a method that approximates the effective interest method.
Capitalized Software Costs	CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method.
Timber and Timberlands	TIMBER AND TIMBERLANDS Timber is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs relating to acquiring, planting and growing timber including real estate taxes, site preparation and direct support costs relating to facilities, vehicles and supplies, are capitalized. A portion of timberland lease payments are capitalized based on the proportion of acres with merchantable timber volume remaining to be harvested under the lease term and the residual portion of the lease payments are expensed as incurred. Payroll costs are capitalized for time spent on timber growing activities, while interest or any other intangible costs are not capitalized. An annual depletion rate is established for each particular region by dividing merchantable inventory cost by standing merchantable inventory volume, which is estimated annually. We charge accumulated costs attributed to merchantable timber to depletion expense (cost of sales) at the time the timber is harvested or when the underlying timberland is sold. Upon the acquisition of timberland, we make a determination on whether to combine the newly acquired merchantable timber with an existing depletion pool or to create a new, separate pool. This determination is based on the geographic location of the new timber, the customers/markets that will be served and the species mix. If the acquisition is similar, the cost of the acquired timber is combined into an existing depletion pool and a new depletion rate is calculated for the pool. This determination and depletion rate adjustment normally occurs in the quarter following the acquisition.
Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments	HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS HBU timberland is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed, with sales and depletion expense related to the harvesting of timber accounted for within the respective timber segment. At the time of sale, the cost basis of any unharvested timber is recorded as depletion expense, a component of cost of sales, within the Real Estate segment. HBU timberland and real estate development investments expected to be sold within twelve months are recorded as inventory. See Note 17 — Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments for additional information. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS Real estate development investments include capitalized costs for targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities. The capitalization period relating to real estate development investments is the period in which activities necessary to ready a property for its intended use are in progress. The period begins when such activities commence, typically when we begin the site work for land already owned, and ends when the improvement is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determination of when construction of a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use is subjective and requires business judgement. As such, we determine when the capitalization period begins and ends through communication with project and other managers responsible for the tracking and oversight of individual projects. We capitalize costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects, such as infrastructure, roadways, utilities, amenities and/or other improvements designed to enhance marketability and create parcels, pads and/or lots for sale. We capitalize interest based on the amount of underlying expenditures on real estate projects under development. IMPAIRMENT OF HBU TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS We review our higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators for each development project are assessed separately and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in sales pace or average selling prices, significant increases in expected land development and construction costs, and projected losses on expected future sales. Development projects have extended life cycles that may last 20 to 40 years, or longer, and have few long-term contractual cash flows. Development periods often occur through several economic cycles. Subjective factors such as the expected timing of property development and sales, optimal development density and sales strategy impact the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and fair value.
Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation	PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost, including applicable freight, interest, construction and installation costs. We generally depreciate our assets, including office and transportation equipment, using the straight-line depreciation method over 3 to 25 years. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over 15 to 35 years and 5 to 30 years, respectively. Gains and losses on the sale or retirement of assets are included in operating income. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured by net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Leases and Right-of-Use Assets Impairment	LEASES At inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and long-term lease liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The income generated from our commercial and residential leases in Port Gamble are accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT Operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group to which the operating lease is assigned may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset group is evaluated based on forecasted undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset group is compared to its carrying amount and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. A discounted cash flow approach using market participant assumptions of the expected cash flows and discount rate are used to estimate the fair value of the asset group.
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership — The fair value of noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership is determined based on the period-end closing price of Rayonier Inc. common shares.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities	ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION LIABILITIES Environmental remediation liabilities have been evaluated using a combination of methods. The liability is estimated based on amounts included in construction contracts and estimates for construction contingencies, project management, and other professional fees. See Note 15 - Environmental and Natural Resource Damages Liabilities for more information.
Goodwill	GOODWILL    Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of the New Zealand Timber segment over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is periodically reviewed for impairment. An impairment test for this reporting unit’s goodwill is performed annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. We compare the fair value of the New Zealand Timber segment, using an independent valuation for the New Zealand forest assets, to its carrying value including goodwill. The independent valuation of the New Zealand forest assets is based on discounted cash flow models where the fair value is calculated using cash flows from sustainable forest management plans. The fair value of the forest assets is measured as the present value of cash flows from one growth cycle based on the productive forest land, taking into consideration environmental, operational, and market restrictions. These cash flow valuations involve a number of estimates that require broad assumptions and significant judgment regarding future performance.
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND REMEASUREMENT The functional currency of our New Zealand-based operations is the New Zealand dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), within Shareholders’ Equity. U.S. denominated transactions of the New Zealand subsidiary are remeasured into New Zealand dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction and recognized in earnings, net of related cash flow hedges. All income statement items of the New Zealand subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes using monthly average exchange rates with translation gains and losses being recorded as a separate component of AOCI, within Shareholders’ Equity.
Redeemable Operating Partnership Units	REDEEMABLE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS Limited partners holding Redeemable Operating Partnership Units have the right to put any and all of the units to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Rayonier registered common shares, on a one-for-one basis, or cash, at Rayonier’s option. Consequently, these Redeemable Operating Partnership Units are classified outside of permanent partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership's accompanying balance sheets and the related
Related Party	RELATED PARTY We follow ASC 850, Related Party Disclosure , for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. A party is considered to be related to us if the party, directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with us. Related parties also include principal owners, management and directors, as well as members of their immediate families or any other parties with which we may deal if one party to a transaction controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Business Combination	BUSINESS COMBINATION We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest, are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price in a business combination uses significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, including revenues and expenses, and applicable discount rates. While we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are subject to change as we obtain additional information related to those estimates during the applicable measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date).
Revenue Recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenues when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). We generally satisfy performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore have applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2021 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts, unearned license revenue and post-closing obligations on real estate sales. These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. We generally collect payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore have elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. TIMBER SALES Revenue from the sale of timber is recognized when control passes to the buyer. We utilize two primary methods or sales channels for the sale of timber – a stumpage/standing timber model and a delivered log model. The sales method we employ depends upon local market conditions and which method management believes will provide the best overall margins. Under the stumpage model, standing timber is sold primarily under pay-as-cut contracts, with a specified duration (typically one year or less) and fixed prices, whereby revenue is recognized as timber is severed and the sales volume is determined. We also sell stumpage under lump-sum contracts for specified parcels where we receive cash for the full agreed value of the timber prior to harvest and control passes to the buyer upon signing the contract. We retain interest in the land, slash products and the use of the land for recreational and other purposes. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts to us. Revenue is recognized for lump-sum timber sales when payment is received, the contract is signed and control passes to the buyer. A third type of stumpage sale we utilize is an agreed-volume sale, whereby revenue is recognized using the output method, as periodic physical observations are made of the percentage of acreage harvested. Under the delivered log model, we hire third-party loggers and haulers to harvest timber and deliver it to a buyer. Sales of domestic logs generally do not require an initial payment and are made to third-party customers on open credit terms. Sales of export logs generally require a letter of credit from an approved bank. Revenue is recognized when the logs are delivered and control has passed to the buyer. For domestic log sales, control is considered passed to the buyer as the logs are delivered to the customer’s facility. For export log sales (primarily in New Zealand), control is considered passed to the buyer upon delivery onto the export vessel. The following table summarizes revenue recognition and general payment terms for timber sales: Contract Type Performance Timing of General Stumpage Pay-as-Cut Right to harvest a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of standing timber As timber is severed Initial payment between 5% and 20% of estimated contract value; collection generally within 10 days of severance Stumpage Lump Sum Right to harvest an agreed upon acreage of standing timber Contract execution Full payment due upon contract execution Stumpage Agreed Volume Right to harvest an agreed upon volume of standing timber As timber is severed Payments made throughout contract term at the earlier of a specified harvest percentage or time elapsed Delivered Wood (Domestic) Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of timber to customer’s facility Upon delivery to customer’s facility No initial payment and on open credit terms; collection generally within 30 days of invoice Delivered Wood (Export) Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) onto export vessel Upon delivery onto export vessel Letter of credit from an approved bank; collection generally within 30 days of delivery NON-TIMBER SALES Non-timber sales are primarily comprised of hunting and recreational licenses, carbon credits and other auxiliary income. Hunting and recreational license sales and any related costs are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement and included in “Sales” and “Cost of sales,” respectively. Payment is generally due upon contract execution. The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (“NZ ETS”) incentivizes the lowering of greenhouse gas emissions by providing carbon credits to certain organizations that lower carbon emissions. Our New Zealand segment regularly sells carbon credits and recognizes income as they are sold to other carbon emitting entities.
Real Estate and Cost of Sales	REAL ESTATE We recognize revenue on sales of real estate generally at the point in time when cash has been received, the sale has closed and control has passed to the buyer. A deposit of 2% to 5% is generally required at the time a purchase and sale agreement is executed, with the balance due at closing. On sales of development real estate containing future performance obligations, revenue is recognized using the cost input method based on development costs incurred to date relative to the total development costs allocated to the contract with the customer. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied obligations is recorded and presented in “Deferred revenue” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. COST OF SALES Cost of sales associated with timber operations primarily include the cost basis of timber sold (depletion), logging and transportation costs (cut and haul) and ocean freight and demurrage costs (port and freight). Depletion includes the amortization of capitalized costs (site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, timberland lease payments and certain payroll costs). Other costs include amortization of capitalized costs related to road and bridge construction and software, depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes and fire prevention. Cost of sales associated with real estate sold includes the cost of the land, the cost of any timber on the property that was conveyed to the buyer, any real estate development costs and any closing costs including sales commissions that may be borne by us. We expense closing costs, including sales commissions, when incurred for all real estate sales with future performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year.
Employee Benefit Plans	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The determination of expense and funding requirements for our defined benefit pension plan, its unfunded excess pension plan and its postretirement life insurance plan are largely based on a number of actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions include discount rate, return on assets, mortality rates and longevity of employees. See Note 20 — Employee Benefit Plans for assumptions used to determine benefit obligations, and the net periodic benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2021. Periodic pension and other postretirement expense is included in “Cost of sales,” “Selling and general expenses” and “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in “Cost of sales” and “Selling and general expenses” while the other components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of losses or gains) are presented outside of income from operations in “Interest and other miscellaneous income, net.” At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our pension plans were in a net liability position (underfunded) of $8.7 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The estimated amount to be paid in the next 12 months is recorded in “Accrued payroll and benefits” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remainder recorded as a long-term liability in “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits.” Changes in the funded status of our plans are recorded through other comprehensive (loss) income in the year in which the changes occur. We measure
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured pursuant to tax laws using rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more-likely-than-not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the provision for income taxes, we compute an annual effective income tax rate based on annual income by legal entity, permanent differences between book and tax, and statutory income tax rates by jurisdiction. Inherent in the effective tax rate is an assessment of the ultimate outcome of current period uncertain tax positions. We adjust our annual effective tax rate as additional information on outcomes or events becomes available. Discrete items such as taxing authority examination findings or legislative changes are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Recently Adopted and New Accounting Pronouncements	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting due to reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During Q2 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The pronouncement eliminates the requirement that contracts legally permitting settlement in registered shares be classified as temporary equity. As a result, Redeemable Operating Partnership Units may be classified as permanent partners’ capital in the Operating partnership’s accompanying balance sheets and the related noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the accompanying balance sheets of Rayonier, Inc. However, the corresponding SEC guidance on equity classification
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 3, 2022, we drew $200.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility. On January 4, 2022, we repaid the $325.0 million Senior Notes due 2022 with $125.0 million of cash and the $200.0 million previously drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility. We then made a $200.0 million draw on our 2021 Incremental Term Loan Facility and simultaneously repaid the outstanding principal on our Revolving Credit Facility. The periodic interest rate on the 2021 Incremental Term Loan agreement is subject to a pricing grid based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. As of February 25, 2022, the periodic interest rate on the the 2021 Incremental Term Loan is LIBOR plus 1.55%. Monthly payments of interest only are due on this loan through maturity. See Note 10 - Debt for additional information.
Earnings Per Common Share	Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier Inc., before net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, performance shares, restricted shares, restricted stock units and noncontrolling interests in operating partnership units.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging,
Offsetting Derivatives	OFFSETTING DERIVATIVES Derivative financial instruments are presented at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our derivative financial instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements, which would allow the right of offset.
Incentive Stock Plans	PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS Our performance share units generally vest upon completion of a three-year period. The number of shares, if any, that are ultimately awarded is contingent upon our total shareholder return versus selected peer group companies. The performance share payout is based on a market condition, and as such, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date, which is then recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Additionally, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate for non-vested units. As such, unexpected forfeitures will lower stock-based compensation during the period in which they occur. NON-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option granted under the Stock Plan is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Under the Stock Plan, the maximum term is 10 years from the grant date.
