Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General

PotlatchDeltic Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in this report as the company, us, we or our) is a leading timberland Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with operations in nine states. We are engaged in activities associated with timberland management, including the sale of timber, the management of nearly 2.2 million acres of timberlands and the purchase and sale of timberlands. We are also engaged in the manufacturing and sale of wood products and the development of real estate. Our timberlands, real estate development projects and all of our wood products facilities are located within the continental United States. The primary market for our products is the United States. We converted to a REIT effective January 1, 2006.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2023. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Increased Authorized Shares of Common Stock

On May 1, 2023, the stockholders of the company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to increase the number of authorized shares of the company’s common stock from 100 million to 200 million. The Amendment became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 1, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and requires judgments affecting the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the company as of the specified effective date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no new accounting pronouncements that management believes materially affect the company’s present or future results of operations, overall financial condition, liquidity or disclosures.

NOTE 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our operations are organized into three reportable segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Management activities in the Timberlands segment include planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Timberlands segment also generates revenues from non-timber resources such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts, oil and gas royalties and carbon sequestration. The Wood Products segment manufactures and sells lumber and plywood. The Real Estate segment includes the sale of land holdings deemed non-strategic or identified as having higher and better use alternatives, a master planned community development and a country club.

Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of the valuation of inventories, which are reported using the average cost method for purposes of reporting segment results.

The following table presents our revenues by major product:

Management uses Adjusted EBITDDA to evaluate the operating performance and effectiveness of operating strategies of our segments and allocation of resources to them. EBITDDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

The following table summarizes information for each of the company’s reportable segments and includes a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to income before income taxes. Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table reconciles the number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		80,132		71,486		80,102		70,171
Incremental shares due to:
Performance shares		182		111		137		104
Restricted stock units		65		35		40		33
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		80,379		71,632		80,279		70,308

For stock-based awards, the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the dilutive effect is computed as if the awards were exercised at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and assumes the related proceeds were used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Related proceeds include future compensation cost associated with the stock award.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were approximately 2,000 and 28,000 stock-based awards, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were approximately 117,000 and 136,000 stock-based award shares, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 30, 2018, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $100.0 million of common stock with no time limit set for the repurchase (the 2018 Repurchase Program). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 8,444 and 103,010 shares of our common stock (for total consideration of $0.4 million and $4.5 million), respectively, in open-market transactions under the 2018 Repurchase Program.

On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Concurrently, the board of directors terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under the 2018 Repurchase Program.

Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Trading Plan), or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of repurchases will be determined according to, and subject to, the terms of the Trading Plan, and, subject to the terms of the Trading Plan, the 2022 Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 282,988 and 291,749 shares of our common stock (for total consideration of $12.7 million and $13.1 million) respectively, in open-market transactions under the 2022 Repurchase Program. No shares were repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization of $136.9 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Transaction costs are not counted against authorized funds.

We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability to account for repurchases that have not been cash settled. We retire shares upon repurchase. Any excess repurchase price over par is recorded in accumulated deficit.

Ola, Arkansas sawmill fire

On June 13, 2021, a fire occurred at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill. There were no injuries or environmental issues from the fire. The damage was principally limited to the large log primary breakdown area of the mill. The new equipment has been installed and the large log line restarted in September 2022. We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance, subject to a $2.0 million deductible. Insurance recoveries are recorded when deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In September 2023, we finalized our claim with the insurance carriers resulting in $89.4 million of total insurance recoveries, net of a $2.0 million deductible, for both the property damage and business interruption claims. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded insurance recoveries of $16.3 million and $39.4 million, respectively, from the Ola sawmill claim, all of which was recognized as a gain on fire damage in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $24.9 million and $34.1 million, respectively, as gain on fire damage.

1 Deferred revenue predominately relates to hunting and other access rights on our timberlands, payments received for lumber shipments where control of goods has not transferred, member-related activities at an owned country club and any post-close obligations for real estate sales. These deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the contracts, which is typically twelve months or less, except for country club initiation fees which are recognized over the average life of club membership.

NOTE 5. DEBT

TERM LOANS

At September 30, 2023, our total outstanding principal on our long-term debt of $1.0 billion included $971.0 million of term loans under our Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender, which includes a $40 million term loan that we expect to refinance upon its maturity in December 2023. Certain

14

borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Agreement are at the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-indexed variable rates, plus a spread between 1.66% and 2.30%. We have entered into SOFR-indexed interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on these variable rate term loans. See Note: 6 Derivative Instruments for additional information.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

On May 18, 2023, we entered into a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for loans based on SOFR instead of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), provides us the option to borrow based on a daily SOFR or term SOFR basis, and provides mechanics relating to the transition from the use of SOFR to a replacement benchmark rate upon the occurrence of certain transition events.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million revolving line of credit that matures February 14, 2027. As provided in the Amended Credit Agreement, borrowing capacity may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million. The revolving line of credit also includes a sublimit of $75.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit of $25.0 million for swing line loans. Usage under either or both sub facilities reduces availability under the revolving line of credit. We may utilize borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions and other general corporate expenditures. At September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $0.7 million of our revolving line of credit was utilized for outstanding letters of credit.

We were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants at September 30, 2023.

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage certain cash flow and fair value risks. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a specific asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered cash flow hedges. All our cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged interest rate risk through the term of the hedges.

At September 30, 2023, we have interest rate swaps associated with $721.0 million of SOFR-indexed term loan debt. These cash flow hedges convert variable rates ranging from one-month SOFR plus 1.66% to 2.30%, to fixed rates ranging from 2.19% to 4.79% before patronage credits from lenders. At September 30, 2023, we also have $250.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges for expected future debt refinances that require settlement on the stated maturity date.

The gross fair values of derivative instruments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $166.3 million and $144.6 million, respectively, all of which were classified in Other assets, non-current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments that mature within one year, as a whole, are classified as current.

The following table details the effect of derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:

		Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	Location	2023		2022		2023		2022
Derivatives designated in cash flow hedging relationships:
Interest rate contracts
Income recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax		$	33,607	$	32,900	$	42,353	$	115,408
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax1	Interest expense, net	$	5,143	$	175	$	13,505	$	(3,122	)
Interest expense, net		$	7,971	$	8,280	$	15,783	$	18,593

1 Realized gains and losses on interest rate contracts consist of realized net cash received or paid and interest accruals on the interest rate swaps during the periods in addition to amortization of amounts out of other comprehensive (loss) income related to certain terminated hedges and adjustments to interest expense resulting from amortization of inception value of certain off-market designated hedges. Net cash received or paid is included within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At September 30, 2023, the amount of net gains expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is approximately $20.9 million. However, this expected amount to be reclassified into earnings is subject to volatility as the ultimate amount recognized in earnings is based on the SOFR rates at the time of net swap cash payments.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents the estimated fair values of our financial instruments:

	September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Derivative assets related to interest rate swaps (Level 2)	$	166,256		$	166,256		$	144,583		$	144,583
Long-term debt, including current portion (Level 2):
Term loans	$	(969,757	)	$	(962,843	)	$	(969,269	)	$	(961,632	)
Revenue bonds		(65,735	)		(64,549	)		(65,735	)		(64,602	)
Total long-term debt1	$	(1,035,492	)	$	(1,027,392	)	$	(1,035,004	)	$	(1,026,234	)
Company owned life insurance asset (COLI) (Level 3)	$	4,923		$	4,923		$	4,311		$	4,311

1 The carrying amount of long-term debt includes principal and unamortized discounts.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on third-party sources, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate forward curves.

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar debt issues or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price.

The contract value of our company owned life insurance is based on the amount at which it could be redeemed and, accordingly, approximates fair value.

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and payables have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 8. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

We issue new shares of common stock to settle performance stock awards (PSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred compensation stock equivalent units. At September 30, 2023, approximately 1.8 million shares were available for future use under our long-term incentive plans.

Share-based compensation activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, included the following:

	Granted		Vested		Forfeited
Performance Share Awards (PSAs)		106,342		—		28,177
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)		127,079		17,225		12,727

Approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock were issued to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of PSA and RSU vesting during 2022 and 2023.

The following table details compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for company specific equity-based awards:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Equity-based compensation expense:
Performance share awards	$	1,483	$	1,535	$	3,623	$	4,351
Restricted stock units		1,084		825		2,702		2,335
Deferred compensation stock equivalent units expense		49		49		147		147
Total equity-based compensation expense	$	2,616	$	2,409	$	6,472	$	6,833
Total tax benefit recognized for equity-based expense	$	135	$	119	$	394	$	338

16

Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a $9.3 million expense for the accelerated vesting of CatchMark equity awards related to the CatchMark merger which is included in CatchMark merger-related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13: CatchMark Merger for additional information.

Performance Share Awards

The weighted average grant date fair value of PSAs granted in 2023 was $61.21 per share. PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans have a three-year performance period and shares are issued at the end of the period if the performance measures are met. The number of shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the PSA, could range from 0% to 200%. PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans do not have voting rights unless and until shares are issued upon settlement. If shares are issued at the end of the performance measurement period, the recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of common stock at the date of settlement equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the shares earned had the recipients owned the shares during the three-year period. The share awards are not considered participating securities.

The following table presents the key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the performance share awards granted in 2023:

Stock price as of valuation date	$	47.55
Risk-free rate		4.14	%
Expected volatility		36.24	%
Expected dividend yield1		—
Expected term (years)		3.00

1 Full dividend reinvestment assumed.

Restricted Stock Units

The weighted average fair value of all RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $47.01 per share. The fair value of RSUs granted equaled our common share price on the date of grant factoring in any required post-vesting holding periods. The RSU awards granted accrue dividend equivalents based on dividends paid during the RSU vesting period. Recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares of common stock at the date the vested RSUs are settled. Any forfeited RSUs will not receive dividends. The share awards are not considered participating securities.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income from investments in real estate, including our timberlands, that we distribute to our stockholders. We conduct certain activities through our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS) which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These activities are principally comprised of our wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income tax expense or benefit is primarily due to pre-tax book income or loss of the TRS, as well as permanent book versus tax differences and discrete items.

During the second quarter of 2023, we reduced our federal-effected deferred blended state tax rate as a result of changes in tax rates and tax laws enacted during the quarter in certain states in which our TRS subsidiaries operate. The effect of the change resulted in a $1.0 million reduction to our net deferred tax liability and an offsetting reduction to tax expense, all of which was recorded as a discrete item in the second quarter of 2023.

NOTE 10. LEASES

We lease certain equipment, office space and land. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Pension Annuitization

In March 2022, we transferred $75.6 million of our qualified pension plan (the Plan) assets to an insurance company for the purchase of a group annuity contract. As a result of the transaction, the insurance company assumed responsibility for annuity administration and benefit payments to select retirees and terminated vested participants, with no change to participants' pension benefits. We recorded a non-cash pretax settlement charge of $14.2 million in non-operating expense, net, as a result of accelerating the recognition of actuarial losses included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income that would have been recognized in future periods. The settlement triggered a remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities.

NOTE 13. CATCHMARK MERGER

On September 14, 2022, CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (CatchMark) and CatchMark Timber Operating Partnership, L.P. (the Partnership) merged into a wholly owned subsidiary (Merger Sub) of PotlatchDeltic, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement dated May 29, 2022, with the Merger Sub surviving the mergers. CatchMark owned approximately 348,000 acres of superior site index timberlands located in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. The CatchMark timber and timberlands assets and operations are included in our Timberlands segment within the Southern region.

As a result of the merger, we issued approximately 11.5 million shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock, including: (i) 11.3 million shares in exchange for the outstanding shares of CatchMark common stock, which included unvested CatchMark share-based awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger; and (ii) 0.2 million shares in exchange for the Partnership OP Units. We capitalized transaction costs of $9.3 million for items such as investment banking fees, legal services, and other professional fees directly attributable to the merger.

We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all the value of the acquisition was concentrated in the acquired timber and timberlands. We allocated the cost of the acquisition to the net assets acquired based on their relative estimated fair value on the acquisition date. This resulted in an allocation of $782.3 million to timber and timberlands, $3.0 million to intangible assets, $32.0 million to other assets and $23.6 million for cash acquired in the merger. Additionally, we assumed $323.1 million of liabilities, including $300.0 million of outstanding long-term debt. Immediately following the merger, we refinanced $277.5 million of the long-term debt assumed in the merger and repaid the remaining $22.5 million with cash on hand. We also entered into $277.5 million of interest rate swaps to fix the interest rates on the refinanced long-term debt.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred non-capitalizable merger costs in connection with the CatchMark merger of approximately $0 and $2.5 million, respectively, primarily consisting of post-merger fees for professional services. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred non-capitalizable merger costs of $26.0 million in connection with the CatchMark merger, primarily for severance benefits, tax gross-up payments to holders of Partnership OP Units and share-based compensation for the acceleration of CatchMark equity awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger and were allocated to the post-merger period. These non-capitalizable merger costs are included in CatchMark merger-related expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At any given time, we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or net cash flow.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTER

Pursuant to the 2002 Asset Purchase Agreement under which Sappi Cloquet LLC (Sappi) purchased our Cloquet, Minnesota pulp and paper mill (the Plant), we agreed to indemnify Sappi from certain environmental liabilities accruing from the pre-sale operations of the Plant. In February 2021, we were notified by Sappi that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contacted Sappi about the opportunity to participate with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the EPA in a voluntary federal sediment remediation program under the Great Lakes Legacy Act (GLLA) for a project in the St. Louis River Area of Concern, which runs from Cloquet, Minnesota to Lake Superior. The GLLA is a sediment remediation program administered by EPA that provides up to 65% federal funding for the remediation of contaminated sediments in the Great Lakes region. The GLLA program requires at least 35% cash or in-kind contributions from non-federal sponsors (NFS). The EPA’s invitation to Sappi made no demands on or claims against Sappi, nor have EPA or MPCA made any demands or claims against PotlatchDeltic.

The identified sediment remediation project (the Project) at Thomson Reservoir is downstream from the Plant. The Plant was identified for potential partnership with EPA and MPCA on the Project based on the Plant’s historic direct discharges of wastewater and leachate from the Plant’s landfill into the St. Louis River prior to the re-routing of the discharges in 1979 to a public wastewater treatment facility. After multiple discussions with the MPCA and completion of our extensive due diligence on this matter, we informed the MPCA in January 2023 that we were interested in voluntarily participating in the Project, subject to an equitable division with the MPCA of the NFS share of the costs.

We executed a Project agreement with the EPA and the MPCA in October 2023. Although no contracts for the remediation work itself have been executed to date, our share of the total Project costs is estimated between $5.6 million and $6.7 million. At September 30, 2023, we have accrued $5.6 million for our estimated contribution to the Project. While it is reasonably possible that costs may change as the Project develops and work contracts are executed, we are unable to estimate at this time the amount of change, if any, which may be required for our share of this matter in the future.

Our Company

We are a leading timberland REIT with ownership of nearly 2.2 million acres of timberland. We also own six sawmills and an industrial grade plywood mill, a residential and commercial real estate development business and a rural timberland sales program.

Our operations are organized into three business segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a sizable portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. In the discussion of our consolidated results of operations, our revenues and expenses are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses. In the Business Segment Results discussion below, each segment’s revenues and expenses, as applicable, are presented before elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses.

Our business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including tariffs, quotas and trade agreements, changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland for higher and better use purposes, lumber prices, weather conditions, disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain including the availability of transportation, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our Wood Products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs, inflation, asset dispositions or acquisitions, impact of pandemics (such as COVID-19 and its variants), fires (such as the Ola, Arkansas sawmill fire and fires on our timberlands), other natural disasters and other factors.

Additionally, governments and businesses across the globe are taking action on climate change and are making significant commitments towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Achieving these commitments will require governments and companies to take major steps to modify operations, invest in low-carbon activities and purchase offsets to reduce environmental impacts. We believe we are well positioned to help entities achieve these commitments through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon sequestration and carbon capture, selling or leasing our non-core timberlands to entities focused on developing solar or wind power generation facilities, and selling pulpwood and sawmill residuals for green energy production.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we present certain non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis, including Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which are defined and further explained and reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the Liquidity and Performance Measures section below. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may not be the same as or comparable to other similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.

See Note 2: Segment Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the use of Adjusted EBITDDA for our segments.

Business and Economic Trends Affecting Our Operations

The operating results of our Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate business segments have been and will continue to be affected by the cyclical nature of the forest products industry. Log and pulpwood sales volumes in our Timberlands segment are typically lower in the first half of each year as winter rains in the Southern region and spring thaw in the Northern region limit timber harvesting operations due to softened roadbeds and wet logging conditions that restrict access to logging sites. The third quarter is typically our Timberlands segment's strongest production quarter. Demand for our manufactured wood products typically decreases in the winter months when construction activity is slower, while demand typically increases during the spring, summer and fall when construction activity is generally higher.

The demand for timber is directly affected by the underlying demand for lumber and other wood products, as well as by the demand for pulp, paper and packaging. Our Timberlands and Wood Products segments are impacted by both demand for new

23

homes and home improvement and repair of existing homes in the United States. Our Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, our Idaho log market is typically in balance but can be tensioned from time to time, while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity being added in the U.S. South has led to tightening of markets in certain geographies.

Rural real estate dispositions and acquisitions can also be adversely affected when access to any properties to be sold or considered for acquisition is limited due to adverse weather conditions. Development real estate sales occur throughout the year and are dependent upon when our construction of residential neighborhoods and commercial lots are substantially completed. The timing of these sales can also be impacted by contractor availability to complete the necessary infrastructure and other improvements, in addition to weather.

Uncertainty on the overall direction of the U.S. economy and housing affordability, which has been negatively impacted by higher interest rates and rising construction costs, have dampened consumer confidence and contributed to a decline in new home construction and existing home sales activity in 2023. Actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the overall condition of the economy, and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that have influenced long-term interest rates with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbing to a nearly 23-year high of 7.3% at the end of September 2023. Further, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) was 40 in October 2023, below the key break-even measure of 50 for the second consecutive month, as builders have reported lower levels of buyer traffic, as some buyers, particularly younger ones, are being priced out of the market because of higher interest rates.

Additionally, in October 2023, the U.S. Census bureau reported total privately-owned housing starts for September 2023 were 1.4 million on a seasonally adjusted annual basis, which was down 7.2% from September 2022. However, authorized building permits for privately-owned single-family housing was above 960,000 units on a seasonally adjusted annual basis for September 2023, which was the fifth month in a row above 900,000 units and 11.6% higher than September 2022. Overall, we believe long-term underlying housing fundamentals remain favorable, due to a shortage of homes, lower than historical-average existing inventory for sale and a large millennial demographic in their prime home-buying years.

The repair and remodel sector is the largest market segment for lumber demand. In the current high interest rate environment, prospective homebuyers with lower mortgage rates on their existing home are more likely to stay and undertake remodeling projects versus move into a new home. While this dynamic has created some stability in the sector, higher interest rates and falling existing home sales are expected to put pressure on the repair and remodel market. While spending in the sector for owner-occupied homes is expected to decrease at a moderate rate over the coming year, we believe long-term favorable underlying fundamentals including solid household balance sheets, strong levels of home equity and an aging existing housing stock will continue to support repair and remodel demand for our products.

In our Timberlands segment, a significant portion of our Idaho sawlog prices are indexed on a four-week lag to lumber prices. The Northern region experienced a decrease in sawlog prices during the first nine months of the year because of lower indexed lumber prices compared to the prior year. In the Southern region, sawlog and pulpwood prices have been relatively stable year over year. Our total harvest volume of 2.0 million tons in the third quarter of 2023 was slightly higher than the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the addition of the CatchMark timberlands in September 2022, which more than offset lower Northern harvest volume due to the acceleration of our harvest schedule to earlier in 2023 as a result of favorable harvesting conditions. We expect to harvest between 1.8 and 1.9 million tons during the fourth quarter of 2023, with approximately 83% of the volume in the Southern region.

During the second quarter of 2021, we experienced a fire at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill. The damage was principally limited to the large log primary breakdown machine center, which significantly impacted the sawmill’s lumber production. We installed the new equipment and the large log line restarted in September 2022. In September 2023, we finalized our insurance claim on the Ola, Arkansas sawmill fire with the insurance carriers. See Note 4: Certain Balance Sheet Components in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

In our Wood Products segment, lumber shipments increased compared to the prior year primarily due to greater lumber production at our Ola sawmill. We shipped 276 million board feet of lumber during the third quarter of 2023 and expect to ship between 270 and 280 million board feet of lumber during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Our Real Estate segment benefited from increased rural real estate acres sold during the third quarter of 2023. We anticipate selling approximately 6,800 acres of rural land and approximately 37 residential lots during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared with Third Quarter 2022

Revenues

Revenues were $265.5 million, a decrease of $41.2 million compared with the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to declines in lumber prices, Northern sawlog prices, and fewer real estate development sales in Chenal Valley. These decreases were partially offset by increases in lumber shipments, harvest volumes in the Southern region, and rural real estate acres sold.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased $5.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to higher manufacturing costs driven by increased lumber shipments, including shipments from the Ola sawmill following the large log line restart in September 2022. These increases were partially offset by lower shipping costs, lower log and haul costs from a decline in harvest activities in the Northern region, and lower land basis on fewer real estate development sales.

CatchMark merger-related expenses

There were no CatchMark merger-related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023. CatchMark merger-related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $26.0 million. This included $7.5 million for severance benefits, $9.3 million for accelerated vesting of CatchMark equity awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger and were allocated to the post-merger period, and $8.1 million for tax gross-up payments to holders of CatchMark Partnership OP Units.

Gain on fire damage

During the third quarter of 2023, we recognized insurance recoveries of $16.3 million for fire damage at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill, compared to the third quarter of 2022, when we recognized insurance recoveries for fire damage of $25.0 million and disposal costs of $0.1 million.

25

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs decreased $1.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily as a result of an increase in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations and an increase in the expected return on plan assets for our qualified pension plan.

Income taxes

Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $4.7 million on TRS income before tax of $18.4 million, which included the $16.3 million gain on fire damage. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $9.8 million on TRS income before tax of $40.9 million which included the $24.9 million gain on fire damage.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $44.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower lumber and Northern sawlog prices, fewer real estate development sales and lower harvest volume in the Northern region. These decreases in Total Adjusted EBITDDA were partially offset by increases in lumber shipments, harvest volumes in the Southern region, and rural real estate acres sold. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments. See Liquidity and Performance Measures for a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income, the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented

Year to Date 2023 Compared with Year to Date 2022

Revenues

Revenues were $769.6 million, a decrease of $308.1 million compared with the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to declines in lumber and Northern sawlog prices, fewer rural real estate acres sold, and fewer real estate development sales in Chenal Valley. These decreases were partially offset by increased harvest volumes primarily from harvest activity on acquired CatchMark timberlands, and increased lumber shipments primarily from our Ola, Arkansas sawmill.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased $73.7 million compared with the first nine months of 2022, driven mainly by higher manufacturing, logging, and hauling costs as a result of increased lumber shipments and harvest volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower shipping costs and lower land basis on fewer rural and development real estate sales.

CatchMark merger-related expenses

Merger-related expenses were $2.5 million during the first nine months of 2023, primarily related to post-merger fees for professional services. CatchMark merger-related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $26.0 million. This included $7.5 million for severance benefits, $9.3 million for accelerated vesting of CatchMark equity awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger and were allocated to the post-merger period, and $8.1 million for tax gross-up payments to holders of CatchMark Partnership OP Units.

Gain on fire damage

During the first nine months of 2023, we recognized insurance recoveries of $39.4 million for fire damage at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill. During the first nine months of 2022, we recognized insurance recoveries of $35.4 million for fire damage and incurred $0.9 million of disposal costs at our Ola, Arkansas sawmill.

Interest expense

Interest expense, net, decreased $2.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents as a result of higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by increased net interest expense associated with $277.5 million in long-term debt assumed and refinanced in connection with the CatchMark merger in September 2022.

Pension settlement charge

In March 2022, we transferred $75.6 million of our qualified pension plan assets to an insurance company for the purchase of a group annuity contract. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a non-cash pretax settlement charge of $14.2 million.

26

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs

Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs decreased $4.9 million compared to the first nine months of 2022 primarily as a result of an increase in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations and an increase in the expected return on plan assets for our qualified pension plan.

Income taxes

Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our TRS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $7.7 million on TRS income before tax of $33.8 million, which included the $39.4 million gain on fire damage. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, also included an approximate $1.0 million tax benefit from the reduction of our blended deferred tax rate recorded in the second quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $70.1 million on TRS income before tax of $279.1 million, which included the $14.2 million pension settlement charge and the $34.5 million gain on fire damage.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the first nine months of 2023 decreased $362.3 million compared to the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to lower lumber and Northern sawlog prices, higher manufacturing, logging, and hauling costs, and fewer rural and development real estate sales. The decrease in Total Adjusted EBITDDA was partially offset by increased lumber shipments and harvest volume. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments. See Liquidity and Performance Measures for a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income, the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared with Third Quarter 2022

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $22.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the Northern region decreased 24.6%, to $129 per ton, primarily due to the effect of lower indexed sawlog prices in Idaho. Southern sawlog prices remained relatively flat.

•Harvest Volume: We harvested 1.6 million tons in the Southern region during the third quarter of 2023, which was 12.5% higher than the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to harvest activity on the CatchMark timberlands acquired in mid-September 2022, partially offset by wet weather impacting operating conditions in parts of the region compared to the third quarter of 2022. Northern harvest volumes decreased 18.4% in the third quarter of 2023 as favorable harvest conditions earlier in the year allowed us to accelerate harvesting, primarily in the first quarter of 2023.

•Logging and Hauling Cost per Unit: Logging and hauling costs per unit were higher primarily due to inflationary operating cost increases, primarily in Idaho, along with longer hauling distances in Idaho.

Year to Date 2023 Compared with Year to Date 2022

Timberlands Adjusted EBITDDA for the first nine months of 2023 decreased $80.8 million compared with the first nine months of 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the Northern region decreased 40.2%, to $119 per ton, primarily due to the effect of lower indexed sawlog prices in Idaho. Southern sawlog prices remained relatively flat.

•Harvest Volume: We harvested 4.5 million tons in the Southern region during the first nine months of 2023, which was 28.6% higher than the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to harvest activity on the CatchMark timberlands acquired in mid-September 2022 and increased stumpage sales, partially offset by wet weather impacting operating conditions in the second and early into the third quarters of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022. In the Northern region, hauling conditions were more favorable in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the first nine months of 2022, resulting in a 3.3% increase in harvest volume.

•Logging and Hauling Cost per Unit: Logging and hauling costs per unit were higher primarily due to inflationary operating cost increases, primarily in Idaho, partially offset by lower diesel costs.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared with Third Quarter 2022

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the third quarter of 2023 of $14.1 million was flat compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Rural Sales: In third quarter of 2023, there were more rural real estate transactions resulting in more acres sold compared to the third quarter of 2022. Rural real estate sales can vary quarter-to-quarter with the average price per acre fluctuating based on both the geographic area of the real estate and product mix.

•Development Sales: During the third quarter of 2023, we sold 32 residential lots at an average lot price of $89,122 compared to 48 lots at an average lot price of $78,344 during the third quarter of 2022. In addition, we sold 1 commercial lot in Chenal Valley for $1.4 million, or $972,222 per acre compared to 7 commercial acres for $848,828 per acre during the third quarter of 2022. The average price per lot or acre fluctuates based on a variety of factors including size, location, and planned end use within the developments.

Year to Date 2023 Compared with Year to Date 2022

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the first nine months of 2023 was $45.9 million, a decrease of $20.2 million compared with the first nine months of 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Rural Sales: There were less rural real estate acres sold in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022. The first nine months of 2023 included a 2,240 acre conservation sale in Alabama and a 2,700 acre land sale on acquired CatchMark timberlands, both in the first quarter of 2023. The first nine months of 2022 included a 1,760 acre sale in the South for $7,500 per acre to an energy provider for a planned commercial solar farm and a 10,700 acre timberland sale in Minnesota.

•Development Sales: During the first nine months of 2023, we sold 98 residential lots at an average lot price of $103,526 compared to 157 lots at an average lot price of $108,418 during the first nine months of 2022. In addition, we sold 7 acres of commercial land in Chenal Valley for $848,828 per acre compared to 41 acres for $273,568 per acre in the first nine months of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash generated by our operations is highly dependent on the selling prices of our products and can vary from period to period. Changes in significant sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented by category as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023			2022			Change
Net cash from operating activities	$	117,308		$	458,437		$	(341,129	)
Net cash from investing activities	$	(27,422	)	$	(127,795	)	$	100,373
Net cash from financing activities	$	(121,601	)	$	(132,725	)	$	11,124

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities decreased $341.1 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to the first nine months of 2022 primarily as a result of the following:

•Cash received from customers decreased $309.8 million primarily due to lower lumber and Idaho sawlog prices, fewer development sales in Chenal Valley, and fewer rural real estate acres sold. These decreases were partially offset by increased shipments primarily from our Ola, Arkansas sawmill which restarted late in the third quarter of 2022 after a fire in June 2021, and increased harvest activity primarily driven by the addition of the CatchMark timberlands in mid-September 2022.

•Cash payments increased $53.1 million primarily due to increases in lumber production, primarily from our Ola sawmill, and harvest activity. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in CatchMark merger-related costs compared to the prior year.

•Cash paid for interest, net increased $7.5 million primarily due to cash interest payments on debt assumed and refinanced in connection with the CatchMark merger in September 2022, partially offset by higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents as a result of higher short-term interest rates and increased patronage dividends from our lenders. Additionally, we paid $18.7 million in interest that is fully covered by interest rate swaps that contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception which are required to be classified in investing ($17.3 million) and financing ($1.4 million) activities.

•Net tax payments decreased $50.0 million as a result of lower taxable income generated from our TRS operations in 2023.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Changes in cash flows from investing activities were primarily a result of the following:

•Cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and road construction projects during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022 was $45.1 million and $56.2 million, respectively, which includes capital expenditures for the Waldo, Arkansas sawmill expansion and modernization project of $14.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

•Cash expenditures for timberland acquisitions during the first nine months of 2023 was $1.7 million compared to $96.1 million during the first nine months of 2022.

•We received $17.3 million during the first nine months of 2023 from certain interest rate swaps that contained an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, which are required to be classified in investing activities. Cash flows from these above market interest rate swaps reduce our interest costs on the corresponding variable rate debt.

•We acquired $23.6 million of cash in our merger with CatchMark in September 2022.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Changes in cash flows from financing activities were primarily a result of the following:

•We paid dividends of $107.9 million during the first nine months of 2023 compared to $96.6 million during the first nine months of 2022. In addition to increasing our quarterly dividend from $0.44 per share to $0.45 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022, our quarterly dividend payment also increased due to the issuance of 11.5 million shares to complete the CatchMark merger in September 2022.

32

•We repaid $25.5 million net in long-term debt during the first nine months of 2022, including $22.5 million assumed in the CatchMark merger. Additionally, we paid $1.0 million in loan fees during the first nine months of 2022, primarily associated with the refinancing of $277.5 million of long-term debt acquired in the CatchMark merger. We had no similar payments in the first nine months of 2023.

•During the first nine months of 2023 we repurchased 291,749 shares of our common stock totaling $13.1 million, which includes $1.7 million of repurchases that were not settled in cash until the fourth quarter. We repurchased 103,010 shares of our common stock totaling $4.5 million during the first nine months of 2022.

Future Sources and Uses of Cash

At September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $302.8 million. We expect cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from our operating activities, and available borrowing capacity under our credit agreement, if needed, to be adequate to meet our future cash requirements. At September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in our cash commitments arising in the normal course of business under our known contractual and other obligations as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Capital Expenditures

We invest cash in maintenance and discretionary capital expenditures at our Wood Products facilities. We also invest cash in the reforestation of timberlands and construction of roads in our Timberlands operations and to develop land in our Real Estate development operations. We evaluate discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of return on investment. We expect to spend a total of approximately $135 million to $140 million for capital expenditures during 2023, including capital expenditures for the Waldo sawmill expansion and modernization project discussed below.

In June 2022, we announced a project to expand and modernize our Waldo, Arkansas sawmill. The project is expected to increase the mill’s annual capacity from 190 million board feet of dimensional lumber to approximately 275 million board feet. The investment is also expected to reduce the mill’s operating costs significantly. The Waldo investment includes upgrades to the log yard and planer, a new saw line, and a new continuous dry kiln. The existing mill will continue to operate during the project and completion is expected by the end of 2024. We expect to spend approximately $131.0 million on the project, of which $12.2 million was spent in 2022, $14.8 million was spent during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and approximately $59 million is expected to be spent during the fourth quarter of 2023.

During 2022, we completed the installation of new equipment at our fire damaged Ola, Arkansas sawmill. The large log line restarted in September 2022. We finalized our insurance claim on the Ola, Arkansas sawmill with the insurance carriers in September 2023. The total approved insurance claim, covering both property damage and business interruption, was $89.4 million, net of a $2.0 million deductible. Through September 30, 2023, we received a total of $73.1 million in proceeds from the insurance carriers. The remaining $16.3 million of insurance recoveries are expected to be received during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Concurrently, the board of directors terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under a repurchase program approved in August 2018. At September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization of $136.9 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. The timing, manner, price and amount of repurchases will be determined according to the trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Trading Plan), and, subject to the terms of the Trading Plan, the Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

Term Loans and Credit Agreement

At September 30, 2023, our total outstanding net long-term debt was $1.0 billion, including $971.0 million of term loans under our Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender. We expect to refinance a $40.0 million term loan maturing in December 2023, which we expect to cover with a forward starting interest rate swap that hedges the variability in future benchmark interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates. All interest rates on our outstanding long-term debt are fixed rates under fixed rate loans or variable rate loans with an associated interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark interest rate component.

33

Our Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million revolving line of credit that matures February 14, 2027. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the amount of available principal may be increased up to an additional $500.0 million. We may also utilize borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions, and other general corporate expenditures. At September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $0.7 million of the credit facility was utilized by outstanding letters of credit.

Financial Covenants

The Amended Term Loan Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement (collectively referred to as the Agreements) contain certain covenants that limit our ability and that of our subsidiaries to create liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur indebtedness and guarantees, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates or change the nature of our business. The Agreements also contain financial maintenance covenants including the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We are permitted to pay dividends to our stockholders under the terms of the Agreements so long as we expect to remain in compliance with the financial maintenance covenants.

Liquidity and Performance Measures

The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures: Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD). These measures are not defined by GAAP and the discussion of Total Adjusted EBITDDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to other similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses in evaluating performance and to allocate resources between segments. Total Adjusted EBITDDA removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors and other interested parties by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business, can be used to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management, and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and the operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

We define EBITDDA as net income before interest expense, net, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.

We reconcile Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income for the consolidated company as it is the most comparable GAAP measure.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the respective periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Net income	$	23,675		$	45,955		$	62,241		$	330,057
Interest expense, net		7,971			8,280			15,783			18,593
Income taxes		4,725			9,801			7,650			70,135
Depreciation, depletion and amortization		30,248			27,329			89,099			66,838

Total Adjusted EBITDDA	$	56,278		$	101,090		$	159,500		$	521,822

We define CAD as cash from operating activities adjusted for capital spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and roads and timberland acquisitions not classified as strategic. Management believes CAD is a useful indicator of the company’s overall liquidity, as it provides a measure of cash generated that is available for dividends to common stockholders (an important factor in maintaining our REIT status), repurchase of the company’s common shares, debt repayment, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary activities. Our definition of CAD is limited in that it does not solely represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view CAD as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our definition of CAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes during 2023 to our critical accounting policies or estimates as presented in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risk exposure on financial instruments includes interest rate risk on our bank credit facility, term loans and interest rate swap agreements and forward starting interest rate swap agreements. We are exposed to interest rate volatility on existing variable rate debt instruments and future incurrences of fixed or variable rate debt, which exposure primarily relates to movements in various interest rates. We use interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps to hedge our exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on existing debt and future debt issuances, respectively. All market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than for trading purposes.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Concurrently, the board of directors terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under a previously authorized repurchase program. The 2022 Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), or through privately negotiated transactions. In September 2023, we repurchased shares through a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule10b5-1 of the Exchange Act (the Trading Plan).

The following table provides information with respect to purchases of common stock made by the company during the three months ended September 30, 2023:

Common Share Purchases	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Maximum Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
July 1 - July 31		—	$	—		—	$	149,605,776
August 1 - August 31		—	$	—		—	$	149,605,776

Total		282,988	$	44.98		282,988	$	136,877,115

At September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization of $136.9 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to settlement date when cash is disbursed.
