Plum Creek Reports Results for Third Quarter 2014
SEATTLE - Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. (NYSE: PCL) today announced third quarter earnings of $61 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, on revenues of $375 million. Third quarter earnings include a $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, after-tax gain from insurance recoveries related to the fire at the MDF plant in Montana earlier in the year.
Earnings for the third quarter of 2013 were $72 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, on revenues of $366 million. The results for the third quarter of 2013 include a $4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, non-cash expense related to forest fire losses experienced in Montana and Oregon during the quarter.
Earnings for the first nine months of 2014 were $146 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.0 billion. The results for the first nine months include $2 million, or $0.01 per share, after-tax gain related to the MDF fire. For the first nine months of 2013, earnings were $174 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.0 billion. The 2013 results include the non-cash expense related to the forest fire losses referenced above.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure of operating performance, for the first nine months of 2014 was $389 million, slightly higher than the $384 million in the same period of 2013. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and cash flow from operations is provided as an attachment to this release.
“During the third quarter, Plum Creek performed well in a continuing slow-growth environment,” said Rick Holley, chief executive officer. “Strong timber markets in our Northern Resources segment, combined with incremental harvest from the timberlands acquired last December, resulted in good operating income growth from our timber resources segments. Our Manufacturing operations are producing another strong year of performance while our Energy and Natural Resources segment is contributing to earnings and cash flow growth as well.
“The assets we acquired from MeadWestvaco continue to perform in-line with our expectations, and have contributed more than $61 million in operating cash flow for the first nine months of the year. As expected, the acquisition will be cash accretive on a per share basis in 2014.”

Review of Third Quarter Operations
The Northern Resources segment reported operating income of $13 million during the third quarter, compared to the $5 million reported during the third quarter of 2013. The 2013 results were adversely impacted by a $4 million non-cash loss from forest fires in the West. Overall harvest volumes were largely unchanged. Sawlog prices have advanced $7 per ton, about 9 percent, over the past year on continued strong sawlog demand in the West and increased demand for hardwood sawtimber in the Northeast. Average hardwood pulpwood prices increased $3 per ton, about 7 percent over the third quarter of 2013. Good demand for pulpwood combined with periods of wet weather kept pulpwood inventories tight at paper mills in the Northern Hardwoods region.
Operating income in the Southern Resources segment was $35 million, up $8 million from the $27 million reported for the third quarter of 2013. Average sawlog prices were unchanged compared to the third quarter of 2013. Pulpwood prices have increased $1 per ton, approximately 9 percent, from third quarter 2013 levels. Southern timberlands acquired in December 2013 drove all of the 16 percent increase in harvest volume over the prior year’s quarter, and contributed approximately $6 million of the $8 million increase in operating income.
The Real Estate segment reported revenue of $69 million and operating income of $34 million in the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter 2013 revenue was $96 million and operating income was $63 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the company sold a total of 25,775 acres of recreation lands for $2,445 per acre and 3,245 acres of small, non-strategic timberlands at an average price of $1,030 per acre. The company also sold 2,455 acres of conservation lands at an average price of $1,230 per acre.
The Manufacturing segment reported operating income of $16 million for the third quarter. These results include a $5 million pre-tax insurance recovery gain. Excluding the non-recurring gain, results for the Manufacturing segment were similar to the $11 million reported for the third quarter of 2013. Improved pricing for lumber and plywood grew profits from those product lines. These improvements were offset by lower MDF demand that impacted sales volume.
Share Repurchase
During the third quarter of 2014, the company repurchased $50 million, or approximately 1.2 million shares, of its common stock at an average price of $40.21 per share. As of September 30, 2014, the company had approximately 176 million shares outstanding and $125 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.
Outlook
Residential construction markets have been slower to recover than the company and many experts expected. Housing starts in 2014 are expected to increase about 8 percent, a labored pace compared to prior recoveries. Over the next few years the company expects residential construction activity will grow to demographically supportable levels of about 1.5 million starts. However, the company currently expects residential construction markets will likely maintain their slow growth during the balance of 2014 and 2015. The company now expects housing starts to increase approximately 10 percent in 2015 to about 1.1 million starts.
“With residential construction growth continuing at a slow pace, we are planning to operate conservatively during the balance of 2014 and into 2015,” continued Holley. “Our long standing goal of

maximizing the net present value of our harvest means we plan to maintain our current harvest level until Southern sawlog prices improve.”
During the fourth quarter, harvest levels in the Northern and Southern Resources segments are expected to be similar to third quarter levels. As a result, overall harvest levels for the year are expected to be in the 19.2 to 19.5 million ton range.
Fourth quarter Real Estate segment revenues are expected to be between $105 and $125 million. These expectations include the Washington state portion of the conservation transaction with The Nature Conservancy. The company expects full-year Real Estate segment sales to be between $275 and $295 million.
The Manufacturing segment is expected to report fourth quarter results similar to the third quarter excluding any gains recognized as part of the MDF reconstruction.
The company expects to report fourth quarter earnings between $0.29 and $0.39 per share, resulting in full-year 2014 net income between $1.10 and $1.20 per share excluding any impacts from the second quarter MDF fire.
“Long-term planning and disciplined capital allocation are always at the center of our strategies to protect and create shareholder value. Consistent with this strategy, we repurchased $50 million of stock during the third quarter at a compelling discount to our net asset value and will continue to look at additional repurchase opportunities,” concluded Holley.

The amount of insurance recoveries was based on the costs incurred during the third quarter of 2014 to rebuild or replace the damaged building and equipment. Substantially all of these costs were capitalized during the third quarter of 2014. Both the building and equipment loss and the insurance recoveries are reported as Other Operating Gain in our Manufacturing Segment and are included in Other Operating Income (Expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
| (B) | For Segment reporting, Equity Loss from Real Estate Development Ventures of $(1) million is included in Operating Income (Loss) for the Other Segment. |
| (C) | During the third quarter of 2013, the company recorded a loss of $5 million related to the early termination of an equipment lease. The lease was accounted for as an operating lease. This amount is reported as an operating loss in Other Costs and Eliminations, net and is included in Other Operating Income (Expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
| (D) | Refer to the separate schedule, "Segment Data - Adjusted EBITDA" for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net cash provided by operating activities. |

Segment Data - Adjusted EBITDA
Reconciliation of Operating Income and Net Cash
Provided by Operating Activities
(Unaudited)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations, excluding Equity Earnings from the Timberland Venture, and before interest expense (including any gains or losses from extinguishment of debt), taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and basis in real estate sold. In addition to including Equity Earnings from Real Estate Development Ventures in Adjusted EBITDA, we also include, as an add back to Operating Income for the Other Segment, our proportional share of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and basis in real estate sold from this equity method investment. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components of our consolidated financial statements.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period, and each business segment’s contribution to that performance, by eliminating non-cash charges to earnings, which can vary significantly by business segment. These non-cash charges include timber depletion, depreciation of fixed assets and the basis in real estate sold. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure because we believe it is useful in measuring our ability to generate cash. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess our financial performance.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and net cash from operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP performance and liquidity measures, is provided in the following schedules:
