Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries and Rayonier, L.P. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rayonier Inc. and Rayonier, L.P. year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC (the “2024 Form 10-K”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company owned a 98.9% interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 1.1% 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 management of the Operating Partnership.
RECLASSIFICATIONS	RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain 2024 amounts have been reclassified to align with the current presentation, including reclassifications for discontinued operations and current reportable segments. In March 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to divest our entire 77% interest in our New Zealand operations. On June 30, 2025, we completed the sale. Accordingly, New Zealand’s financial results are reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented. Our New Zealand assets and liabilities are presented separately as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for both 2025 and 2024 have not been restated to exclude the New Zealand operation’s cash flows. Effective with the third quarter of 2025, we realigned our reportable segments to reflect changes in our internal management reporting structure. As a result, prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to our current segment presentation. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts and disclosures within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to the Company’s continuing operations.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED	ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures about certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. Subsequently in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies the adoption timeline. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance allows for either prospective or retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances annual income tax disclosures, primarily affecting the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid reconciliation. The pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a prospective basis, although early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We will adopt the standard beginning with our annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025 and do not anticipate this disclosure-only ASU will impact our consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements, either adopted or pending adoption and not discussed above, are not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 14, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with PotlatchDeltic Corporation (“PotlatchDeltic”) to combine in a merger of equals. The transaction is expected to close in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2026. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of both Rayonier’s shareholders and PotlatchDeltic’s shareholders. On October 14, 2025, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a one-time, special dividend of $1.40 per common share, consisting of a combination of cash and the Company’s common shares. In addition, the Company's board of directors declared a one-time, special distribution of $1.40 per Redeemable Operating Partnership Unit, consisting of a combination of cash and the Company's Redeemable Operating Partnership Units. The dividend and distribution are payable on December 12, 2025 to holders of record on October 24, 2025.
SEGMENT REPORTING	Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The CODM evaluates segment operating performance based on Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Total assets by segment are not used by the CODM to assess the performance of or allocate resources to the segments, therefore total assets by segment are not disclosed. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, non-operating expense and income, income from operations of discontinued operations, gain on sale of discontinued operations, asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, costs related to disposition initiatives and Large Dispositions. We believe that Operating income (loss), as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement with which to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating income (loss) as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is equal to segment income.
PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS AND CONTRACT BALANCES	PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS We recognize revenue 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”). Unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2025 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts, unearned license revenue and unearned carbon capture and storage revenue. Of these performance obligations, $25.5 million is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months, with the remaining $11.2 million expected to be recognized thereafter as we satisfy our performance obligations. We generally collect payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore have elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in trade receivables and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trade receivables are recorded when we have an unconditional right to consideration for completed performance under a contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract and are recognized as revenue as, or when, we perform under a contract.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE AND PER UNIT	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. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier Inc., before net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) 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, noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership units and contingently issuable shares and units.
EARNINGS PER UNIT	Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is calculated by dividing net income available to unitholders of Rayonier, L.P. by the weighted average number of units outstanding. Diluted EPU is calculated by dividing net income available to unitholders of Rayonier, L.P. by the weighted average number of units outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding unit equivalents, including stock options, performance shares, restricted shares, restricted stock units and contingently issuable shares and units.
DERIVATIVE	Our financial results are subject to market risk from potential changes in interest rates. To manage this exposure, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We account for derivative financial instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), and record them at fair value as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for changes in their fair value depends on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction occurs. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges, or those that cease to be effective, are recognized immediately in earnings.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	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. 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 determined using quoted market prices for debt with comparable terms and maturities. For variable-rate debt, the carrying value approximates fair value as the interest rate adjusts with market changes. 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. Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership — The fair value of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is determined by using the period-end closing price of Rayonier Inc. common shares.
