OUR BUSINESS
We are one of the world’s largest private owners of
timberlands. We own or control 12.4 million acres of
timberlands, primarily in the U.S., and manage an additional
14.0 million acres of timberlands under long-term licenses in
Canada. We manage these timberlands on a sustainable basis
in compliance with internationally recognized forestry
standards. Our objective is to maximize the long-term value of
timberlands we own. We analyze each timberland acre
comprehensively to understand its highest-value use. We
realize this value in many ways, particularly through harvesting
the trees, but also by selling properties when we can create
incremental value. In addition, we focus on opportunities to
realize value for oil and natural gas production, construction
aggregates and mineral extraction, wind power, communication
tower leases and transportation rights of way that exist in our
ownership.

We are also one of the largest manufacturers of wood products
in North America. We provide high-quality wood products,
including softwood lumber, engineered wood products,
structural panels, medium density fiberboard and other
specialty products. These products are primarily supplied to the
residential, multi-family, industrial, light commercial and repair
and remodel markets. Our manufacturing operations are
located in the United States and Canada and span across 35
facility locations.

Our company is a real estate investment trust (REIT).

We are committed to operate as a sustainable company and
are listed on the North American and Dow Jones World
Sustainability Indices. In our operations, we focus on increasing
energy and resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, reducing water consumption, conserving natural
resources, and offering products that meet our customers’
needs with superior sustainability attributes. We operate with
world class safety results, understand and address the needs
of the communities in which we operate, and communicate
transparently.

In 2017, we generated $7.2 billion in net sales from continuing
operations and employed approximately 9,300 people who
serve customers worldwide.

This portion of our Annual Report on Form 10-K provides
detailed information about who we are, what we do and where
we are headed. Unless otherwise specified, current information
reported in this Form 10-K is as of or for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017.

We break out financial information such as revenues, earnings
and assets by the business segments that form our company.
We also discuss the development of our company and the
geographic areas where we do business.

Throughout this Form 10-K, unless specified otherwise,
references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the company” refer to the
consolidated company.

WE CAN TELL YOU MORE

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

We meet the information-reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing periodic reports, proxy
statements and other information with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports and statements —
information about our company’s business, financial results
and other matters — are available at:
•the SEC website — www.sec.gov;
•the SEC’s Public Conference Room, 100 F St. N.E.,
Washington, D.C., 20549, (800) SEC-0330; and

•our website (without charge) — www.weyerhaeuser.com.
When we file the information electronically with the SEC, it also
is posted to our website.

WHO WE ARE

Weyerhaeuser Timber Company was incorporated in the state
of Washington in January 1900, when Frederick Weyerhaeuser
and 15 partners bought 900,000 acres of timberland. Today,
we are working to be the world’s premier timber, land, and
forest products company for our shareholders, customers and
employees.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) ELECTION

Starting with our 2010 fiscal year, we elected to be taxed as a
REIT. REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without
first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the
double taxation on income. We expect to derive most of our
REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the
sale of standing timber through pay-as-cut sales contracts and
lump sum timber deeds. We continue to be required to pay
federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT
Subsidiary (TRS), which includes our Wood Products segment
and a portion of our Timberlands and Real Estate, Energy and
Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) segments.

MERGER WITH PLUM CREEK

On February 19, 2016, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated November 6, 2015, Plum Creek Timber Company,
Inc. (Plum Creek) merged with and into Weyerhaeuser. Plum
Creek was a REIT that primarily owned and managed
timberlands in the United States. Plum Creek also produced
wood products, developed opportunities for mineral and other
natural resource extraction, and sold real estate properties. The

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

1

merger combined two industry leaders. The breadth and
diversity of our combined timberlands, real estate, energy and
natural resources assets, and wood products operations
position Weyerhaeuser to capitalize on the improving housing
market and to continue to capture value across the combined
portfolio. See Note 4: Merger with Plum Creek in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about
the merger.

•Real Estate & ENR — Deliver premiums to timber value by
identifying and monetizing higher and better use lands and
capturing the full value of surface and subsurface assets.
•Wood Products — Manufacture high-quality lumber, structural
panels and engineered wood products, as well as deliver
complementary building products for residential, multi-family,
industrial and light commercial applications at competitive
costs.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

SALES OUTSIDE THE U.S.

In the Consolidated Results section of Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, you will find our overall performance results for our
business segments, which are as follows:

•Timberlands;
•Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate &

ENR); and
•Wood Products.
Detailed financial information about our business segments
and our geographic locations is provided in Note 2: Business
Segments and Note 21: Geographic Areas in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as in this section
and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

EFFECT OF MARKET CONDITIONS

The health of the U.S. housing market strongly affects the
performance of all our business segments. Wood Products
primarily sells into the new residential building and repair and
remodel markets. Demand for logs from our Timberlands
segment is affected by the production of wood-based building
products as well as export demand. Real Estate is affected by
local real estate market conditions, such as the level of supply
or demand for properties sharing the same or similar
characteristics as our timberlands. Energy and Natural
Resources is affected by underlying demand for commodities,
including oil and gas.

COMPETITION IN OUR MARKETS

We operate in highly competitive domestic and foreign markets,
with numerous companies selling similar products. Many of our
products also face competition from substitutes for wood
products. We compete in our markets primarily through product
quality, service levels and price. We are relentlessly focused on
operational excellence, producing quality products customers
want and are willing to pay for, at the lowest possible cost.

Our business segments’ competitive strategies are as follows:

•Timberlands — Extract maximum timber value from each acre

we own or manage.

In 2017, $1,028 million — 14 percent — of our total
consolidated sales from continuing operations were to
customers outside the U.S. Our sales outside the U.S. are
generally denominated in U.S. dollars. The table below shows
sales outside the U.S. for the last three years.

OUR EMPLOYEES

We have approximately 9,300 employees. Of these employees,
approximately 2,500 are members of unions covered by multi-
year collective-bargaining agreements. More information about
these agreements is provided in Note 9: Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

WHAT WE DO

This section provides information about how we:

•grow and harvest trees;
•maximize the value of every acre we own; and
•manufacture and sell wood products.
For each of our business segments, we provide details about
what we do, where we do it, how much we sell and where we
are headed.

TIMBERLANDS

Our Timberlands segment manages 12.4 million acres of
private commercial timberlands in the U.S. We own 11.5 million
of those acres and have long-term leases on the remaining

acres. In addition, we have renewable, long-term licenses on
14.0 million acres of Canadian timberlands. The tables
presented in this section include data from this segment’s
business units as of the end of 2017.

WHAT WE DO

Forestry Management

Our Timberlands segment:
•plants seedlings to reforest harvested areas using the most
effective regeneration method for the site and species
(natural regeneration is employed and managed in parts of
Canada and the northern U.S.);

•manages our timberlands as the planted trees grow to

maturity;

•harvests trees to be converted into lumber, wood products,

pellets, pulp and paper;

•strives to sustain and maximize the timber supply from our
timberlands while keeping the health of our environment a
key priority; and

•offers recreational access to the public.
Our goal is to maximize returns by selling logs and stumpage to
internal and external customers. We leverage our expertise in
forestry and use intensive silviculture to improve forest
productivity and returns while managing our forests on a
sustainable basis to meet customer needs and public
expectations.

Competitive factors within each of our market areas generally
include price, species, grade, quality, proximity to wood
consuming facilities and the ability to consistently meet
customer requirements. We compete in the marketplace
through our ability to provide customers with a consistent and
reliable supply of high-quality logs at scale volumes and
competitive price. Our customers also value our status as a
Sustainable Forestry Initiative® certified supplier.

Sustainable Forestry Practices

We manage our forests intensively to maximize the value of
each acre and produce a sustainable supply of wood fiber for
our customers. At the same time, we are careful to protect
biological diversity, water quality and other ecosystem
services. Our working forests also provide unique
environmental, cultural, historical and recreational value. We
work hard to protect these and other qualities, while still
managing our forests to produce financially mature timber. We
follow regulatory requirements, voluntary standards and certify
one hundred percent of our North American timberlands under
the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) Forest Management
Standard.

Canadian Forestry Operations

In Canada, we manage timberlands under long-term licenses
that provide the primary source of the raw material for our
manufacturing facilities in various provinces. When we harvest
trees, we pay the provinces at stumpage rates set by the
government. We transfer logs to our manufacturing facilities at
cost, and do not generate any significant profit in the
Timberlands segment from the harvest of timber from the
licensed acres in Canada.

Timberlands Products

PRODUCTS

HOW THEY’RE USED

Delivered logs:
•Grade logs
•Fiber logs

Grade logs are made into lumber, plywood,
veneer and other products used in residential
homes, commercial structures, furniture,
industrial and decorative applications. Fiber logs
are sold to pulp, paper, and oriented strand board
mills to make products used for printing, writing,
packaging, homebuilding and consumer products,
as well as into renewable energy and pellet
manufacturing.

Timber

Standing timber is sold to third parties.

Recreational leases

Timberlands are leased to the public for
recreational purposes.

Other products

Seed and seedlings grown in the U.S. and
plywood produced at our mill in Uruguay(1).

(1) Our Uruguayan operations were divested on September 1, 2017. Refer to Note 3:

Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information on this divestiture.

HOW WE MEASURE OUR PRODUCT

We use multiple units of measure when transacting business
including:

•Thousand board feet (MBF) — used in the West to measure

the expected lumber recovery from a tree or log.

•Green tons (GT) — used in the South to measure weight;
factors used for conversion to product volume can vary by
species, size, location and season.

We report Timberland volumes in ton equivalents. Prior to
2016, we reported Timberlands volumes information in cubic
meters. Volumes for periods prior to 2016 have been converted
from cubic meters to tons using conversion factors as follows:

•West: 1.056 m3 = 1 ton
•South: 0.818 m3 = 1 ton
•Uruguay: 0.907 m3 = 1 ton
•Canada: 1.244 m3 = 1 ton

WHERE WE DO IT

We manage sustainable timberlands in twenty states. This
includes owned or leased acres in the following locations:

•2.93 million acres in the western U.S. (Oregon and

Washington);

•2.48 million acres in the northern U.S. (Maine, Michigan,
Montana, New Hampshire, Vermont, West Virginia and
Wisconsin).

In Canada, we manage timberlands under long-term licenses
that provide raw material for our manufacturing facilities. These
licenses are in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario (license is
managed by partnership) and Saskatchewan (license is
managed by partnership).

Our total timber inventory — including timber on owned and
leased land — is approximately 635 million tons. The amount
of timber inventory does not translate into an amount of lumber
or panel products because the quantity of end products varies
according to the species, size and quality of the timber; and will
change through time as these variables adjust.

We maintain our timber inventory in an integrated resource
inventory system and geographic information system (“GIS”).
The resource inventory component of the system is proprietary
and is largely based on internally developed methods, including
growth and yield models developed by our research and
development organization. The GIS component is based on GIS
software that is viewed as the standard in our industry.

Timber inventory data collection and verification techniques
include the use of industry standard field sampling procedures
as well as proprietary remote sensing technologies in some
geographies. The data is collected and maintained at the
timber stand level.

We also own and operate nurseries and seed orchards in
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oregon,
South Carolina, and Washington.

customers through seasonal events.

We lease more than 95 percent of our owned Southern acreage
for recreational purposes.

2017 Southern U.S. Inventory by Species

Northern United States

We are one of the largest private owners of northern hardwood
timberlands. Our Northern acres contain a diverse mix of
temperate broadleaf hardwoods and mixed conifer species
across timberlands located in seven states. Species include
American beech, balsam fir, birch, cedar, cherry, Douglas fir,
hemlock, maple, oak, poplar, red pine, spruce, Western larch
and white pine. We grow over 50 species and market over 600
product grades to a diverse mix of customers.

Our large-diameter cherry saw logs and veneer logs serve
domestic and export furniture markets. Our hard maple and other
appearance woods support furniture and high-value decorative
applications. In addition to high value hardwood saw logs, our mix
includes hardwood fiber logs for pulp and OSB applications.
Hardwood pulpwood is a significant market in the Northern region
and we have long term supply agreements, primarily at market

Canada — Licensed Timberlands

We manage timberlands in Canada under long-term licenses
from the provincial governments to secure volume for our
manufacturing facilities in various provinces. The provincial
governments regulate the volume of timber that may be
harvested each year through Annual Allowable Cuts (AAC),
which are updated every 10 years. As of December 31, 2017,
our AAC by province was:
•Alberta — 3,107 thousand tons,
•British Columbia — 627 thousand tons,
•Ontario — 254 thousand tons and
•Saskatchewan — 632 thousand tons.
When the volume is harvested, we pay the province at
stumpage rates set by the government. The harvested logs are
transferred to our manufacturing facilities at cost (stumpage
plus harvest, haul and overhead costs less any margin on
selling logs to third parties). Any profit from harvesting the log
through to converting to finished products is recognized at the
respective mill in our Wood Products segment.

A small amount of harvested volumes are sold to unaffiliated
customers.

Our fee harvest volumes are managed sustainably across all
regions to ensure the preservation of long-term economic value of
the timber and to capture maximum value from the markets. This
is accomplished by ensuring annual harvest schedules target
financially mature timber and reforestation activities align with the
growing of timber through its life cycle to financial maturity.

Log Sales Volume

Logs sold to unaffiliated customers in 2017 increased
1.8 million tons — 7 percent — from 2016.

•Sales volume in the South increased 1.9 million tons —
12 percent — primarily due to the addition of volumes
harvested from acquired Plum Creek Timberlands.

•Sales to “Other” unaffiliated customers increased 0.5 million
tons — 55 percent — primarily due to increased chips sales
in Canada, which we previously sold to our former Cellulose
Fibers segment and were intersegment sales during 2016.

We sell three grades of logs — domestic grade, domestic fiber
and export. Factors that may affect log sales in each of these
categories include:

•domestic grade log sales — lumber usage, primarily for

housing starts and repair and remodel activity, the needs of
our own mills and the availability of logs from both outside
markets and our own timberlands;

•domestic fiber log sales — demand for chips by pulp,
containerboard mills, pellet mills and OSB mills; and

•export log sales — the level of housing starts in Japan and

construction in China.

Our sales volume includes logs purchased in the open market
and all our domestic and export logs that are sold to unaffiliated
customers or transferred at market prices to our internal mills.

Japanese housing market and Chinese demand.

WHERE WE’RE HEADED

Our competitive strategies include:

•continuing to capitalize on our scale of operations,
silviculture expertise and sustainability practices;

•optimizing cash flow through operational excellence initiatives
including merchandising for value, harvest and transportation
efficiencies, and flexing harvest to capture seasonal and
short-term opportunities;

•sustaining our export and domestic market access,
infrastructure and strong customer relationships;
•increasing our recreational lease revenue stream; and
•continuing to maximize the value of our timberlands portfolio
by managing the acres with the ultimate best use in mind.

REAL ESTATE, ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Our Real Estate & ENR segment maximizes the value of our
timberland ownership through application of our asset value
optimization (AVO) process and captures the full value of
surface and subsurface assets, such as oil, natural gas,
minerals and wind resources.

WHAT WE DO

Real Estate

Properties that exhibit higher value than commercial
timberlands are monetized within our Real Estate business. We

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

9

analyze existing U.S. timberland holdings using a process we
call AVO. We start with understanding the value of a parcel
operating as commercial timberlands and then assess the
specific real estate attributes of the parcel and its
corresponding market. The assessment includes
demographics, infrastructure and proximity to amenities and
recreation to determine the potential to yield a premium value
to commercial timberland. Attributes can evolve over time, and
accordingly, the assignment of value and opportunity can
change.

These properties are acres we expect to sell, and/or entitle to
support development, for recreational, conservation,
commercial or residential purposes over time. Development,
outside of entitlement activities, is typically performed by third
parties. Some of our real estate activities are conducted
through our taxable REIT subsidiary.

Occasionally we sell a small amount of timberlands acreage in
areas where we choose to reduce our market presence, or we
can capture a price that exceeds the value derivable from
holding and operating as commercial timberlands. These
transactions will vary based on factors including the locations
and physical characteristics of the timberlands.

The timing of real estate sales is a function of many factors,
including the general state of the economy, demand in local
real estate markets, the ability of buyers to obtain financing,
the number of competing properties listed for sale, the
seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the Northern states),
the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectation of future
price appreciation, the timing of the harvesting activities, and
the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. In any
period, the average sales price per acre will vary based on the
location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.

The AVO review of our legacy Weyerhaeuser Southern
timberlands was completed in fourth quarter 2016. The AVO
review of our legacy Weyerhaeuser Western timberlands was
completed in second quarter 2017. We will continually revisit
our AVO assessment of all of our U.S. timberland acres,
including legacy Plum Creek acres for which AVO assessment
was completed prior to the merger.

Energy and Natural Resources

We focus on maximizing potential opportunities for oil, natural
gas, construction materials, industrial minerals, coal,
renewable energy and rights of way easements on our
timberlands portfolio and retained mineral interests.

As the owner of mineral rights and interests, we typically do not
invest in operations but instead enter into contracts with
operators granting them the rights to explore and sell natural

resources produced from our property in exchange for rents and
royalties. Our primary sources of revenue are:

•rentals and royalties from the exploration, extraction,

generation and sale of minerals, oil and natural gas, coal and
wind energy production;

•rental payments from communication, energy and

transportation rights of way; and

•the occasional sale of mineral assets.
We generally reserve mineral rights when selling timberlands
acreage. Some Energy and Natural Resources activities are
conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary.

Real Estate Development Joint Venture

Our share of equity earnings from WestRock-Charleston Land
Partners, LLC (WR-CLP) is included in the net contribution to
earnings of our Real Estate & ENR segment. WR-CLP develops
and sells its acreage of high value rural lands and development-
quality lands near Charleston, South Carolina. Refer to Note 8:
Related Parties in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information.

WHERE WE DO IT

Our Real Estate business identifies opportunities to realize
premium value for our U.S. timberland acreage.

Our significant Energy and Natural Resources revenue sources
are located in Oregon, South Carolina and Georgia (construction
material royalties); the Gulf South (oil and natural gas
royalties); and West Virginia (coal reserves).

WHERE WE’RE HEADED

Our competitive strategies include:

•Industry leading controllable manufacturing costs through
operational excellence and disciplined capital execution;

•strong alignment with fiber supply;
•leverage our brand and reputation as the preferred provider

of quality building products; and

•pursue disciplined, profitable sales growth in target markets.

•Demand for wood products used in residential and multi-
family construction and the repair and remodel of existing
homes affects prices. Residential and multi-family
construction is influenced by factors such as population
growth and other demographics, the level of employment,
consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of
financing and interest rate levels, and the supply and pricing
of existing homes on the market. Repair and remodel activity
is affected by the size and age of existing housing inventory
and access to home equity financing and other credit.

•The availability of supply of commodity building products such

as structural lumber, OSB and plywood affects prices. A
number of factors can influence supply, including changes in
production capacity and utilization rates, weather, raw
material supply and availability of transportation.

Demand for wood products continued to improve in 2017. The
following graphs reflect product price trends for the past five
years.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
MATTERS

We are subject to a multitude of laws and regulations in the
operation of our businesses. We also participate in voluntary
certification of our timberlands to ensure that we sustain their
overall quality, including the protection of wildlife and water
quality. Changes in law and regulation, or certification
standards, can significantly affect our business.

REGULATIONS AFFECTING FORESTRY PRACTICES

In the United States, regulations established by federal, state
and local government agencies to protect water quality,
wetlands and other wildlife habitat could affect future harvests
and forest management practices on our timberlands. Forest
practice laws and regulations that affect present or future
harvest and forest management activities in certain states
include:

•limits on the size of clearcuts,
•requirements that some timber be left unharvested to protect

water quality and fish and wildlife habitat,

•regulations regarding construction and maintenance of forest

roads,

•rules requiring reforestation following timber harvest and
•various related permit programs.
Each state in which we own timberlands has developed best
management practices to reduce the effects of forest practices
on water quality and aquatic habitats. Additional and more
stringent regulations may be adopted by various state and local
governments to achieve water-quality standards under the
federal Clean Water Act, protect fish and wildlife habitats,
human health, or achieve other public policy objectives.

In Canada, our forest operations are carried out on public
timberlands under forest licenses with the provinces. All forest
operations are subject to:

•forest practices and environmental regulations and
•license requirements established by contract between us and

the relevant province designed to:
– protect environmental values and
– encourage other stewardship values.

In Canada, 21 member companies of the Forest Products
Association of Canada (FPAC), including Weyerhaeuser’s
Canadian subsidiary, announced in May 2010 the signing of a
Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) with nine
environmental organizations. The CBFA applies to approximately
72 million hectares of public forests licensed to FPAC members
and, when fully implemented, was expected to lead to the
conservation of significant areas of Canada’s boreal forest and
protection of boreal species at risk, in particular, woodland

caribou. While the CBFA mandate came to an end in 2017,
CBFA signatories continue to work on management plans with
provincial governments, and seek the participation of aboriginal
and local communities in advancing the goals of the CBFA.

ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTIONS

In the United States, a number of fish and wildlife species that
inhabit geographic areas near or within our timberlands have
been listed as threatened or endangered under the federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA) or similar state laws, such as:

•the northern spotted owl, the marbled murrelet, a number of
salmon species, bull trout and steelhead trout in the Pacific
Northwest;

•several freshwater mussel and sturgeon species; and
•the red-cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoise, gopher frog,
dusky gopher frog, American burying beetle and Northern
long-eared bat in the South or Southeast.

Additional species or populations may be listed as threatened
or endangered as a result of pending or future citizen petitions
or petitions initiated by federal or state agencies. In addition,
significant citizen litigation seeks to compel the federal
agencies to designate “critical habitat” for ESA-listed species,
and many cases have resulted in settlements under which
designations will be implemented over time. Such designations
may adversely affect some management activities and options.
Restrictions on timber harvests can result from:

•federal and state requirements to protect habitat for

threatened and endangered species;

•regulatory actions by federal or state agencies to protect

these species and their habitat; and

•citizen suits under the ESA.
Such actions could increase our operating costs and affect
timber supply and prices in general. To date, we do not believe
that these measures have had, and we do not believe that in
2018 they will have, a significant effect on our harvesting
operations. We anticipate that likely future actions will not
disproportionately affect Weyerhaeuser as compared with
comparable operations of U.S. competitors.

In Canada:

•The federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) requires protective
measures for species identified as being at risk and for
critical habitat, pursuant to SARA, Environment Canada
continues to identify and assess species deemed to be at
risk and their critical habitat.

•In October 2012, the Canadian Minister of the Environment
released a strategy for the recovery of the boreal population
of woodland caribou under the SARA. The population and
distribution objectives for boreal caribou across Canada are
to (1) maintain the current status of existing, self-sustaining

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

15

local caribou populations and (2) stabilize and achieve self-
sustaining status for non-self-sustaining local caribou
populations. Critical habitat for boreal caribou is identified for
all boreal caribou ranges, except for northern
Saskatchewan’s Boreal Shield range (SK1) where additional
information is required for that population. Species
assessment and recovery plans are developed in
consultation with aboriginal communities and stakeholders.
•In 2017, the Provinces were required to update the federal
government on any progress associated with their draft
caribou range plans. These draft plans will be further
evaluated in 2018, and any additional information on potential
impacts to forest harvest operations will be released.

The identification and protection of habitat and the
implementation of range plans and land use action plans may,
over time, result in additional restrictions on timber harvests
and other forest management practices that could increase
operating costs for operators of timberlands in Canada. To
date, we do not believe that these Canadian measures have
had, and we do not believe that in 2018 they will have, a
significant effect on our harvesting operations. We anticipate
that likely future measures will not disproportionately affect
Weyerhaeuser as compared with similar operations of Canadian
competitors.

WHAT THESE REGULATIONS AND CERTIFICATION
PROGRAMS MEAN TO US

The regulatory and non-regulatory forest management programs
described above have:

•increased our operating costs;
•resulted in changes in the value of timber and logs from our

timberlands;

•contributed to increases in the prices paid for wood products

and wood chips during periods of high demand;

•sometimes made it more difficult for us to respond to rapid
changes in markets, extreme weather or other unexpected
circumstances; and

•potentially encouraged further reductions in the use of, or
substitution of other products for, lumber, oriented strand
board, engineered wood products and plywood.

We believe that these kinds of programs have not had, and in
2018 will not have, a significant effect on our total harvest of
timber in the United States or Canada. However, these kinds of
programs may have such an effect in the future. We expect we
will not be disproportionately affected by these programs as
compared with typical owners of comparable timberlands. We
also expect that these programs will not significantly disrupt our
planned operations over large areas or for extended periods.

FOREST CERTIFICATION STANDARDS

CANADIAN ABORIGINAL RIGHTS

We operate in North America under the Sustainable Forestry
Initiative (SFI®). This is a certification standard designed to
supplement government regulatory programs with voluntary
landowner initiatives to further protect certain public resources
and values. SFI® is an independent standard, overseen by a
governing board consisting of:
•conservation organizations,
•academia,
•the forest industry and
•large and small forest landowners.
Ongoing compliance with SFI® may result in some increases in
our operating costs and curtailment of our timber harvests in
some areas. There also is competition from other private
certification systems, primarily the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC), coupled with efforts by supporters to further those
systems by persuading customers of forest products to require
products certified to their preferred system. Certain features of
the FSC system could impose additional operating costs on
timberland management. Because of the considerable variation
in FSC standards, and variability in how those standards are
interpreted and applied, if sufficient marketplace demand
develops for products made from raw materials sourced from
other than SFI-certified forests, we could incur substantial
additional costs for operations and be required to reduce
harvest levels.

16

Many of the Canadian timberlands are subject to the
constitutionally protected treaty or common-law rights of
aboriginal peoples of Canada. Most of British Columbia (B.C.) is
not covered by treaties, and as a result the claims of B.C.’s
aboriginal peoples relating to forest resources have been
largely unresolved. On June 26, 2014 the Supreme Court of
Canada ruled that the Tsilhqot’in Nation holds aboriginal title to
approximately 1,900 square kilometers in B.C. This was the
first time that the court has declared title to exist based on
historical occupation by aboriginal peoples. Many aboriginal
groups continue to be engaged in treaty discussions with the
governments of B.C., other provinces and Canada.

Final or interim resolution of claims brought by aboriginal
groups can be expected to result in:

•additional restrictions on the sale or harvest of timber,
•potential increase in operating costs and
•impact to timber supply and prices in Canada.
We believe that such claims will not have a significant effect on
our total harvest of timber or production of forest products in
2018, although they may have such an effect in the future. In
2008, FPAC, of which we are a member, signed a Memorandum
of Understanding with the Assembly of First Nations, under
which the parties agree to work together to strengthen
Canada’s forest sector through economic-development

initiatives and business investments, strong environmental
stewardship and the creation of skill-development opportunities
particularly targeted to aboriginal youth.

POLLUTION-CONTROL REGULATIONS

Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations,
including:

•federal,
•state,
•provincial and
•local pollution controls.
These laws and regulations, as well as market demands,
impose controls with regard to:

•air, water and land;
•solid and hazardous waste management;
•waste disposal;
•remediation of contaminated sites; and
•the chemical content of some of our products.
Compliance with these laws, regulations and demands usually
involves capital expenditures as well as additional operating
costs. We cannot easily quantify the future amounts of capital
expenditures we might have to make to comply with these laws,
regulations and demands or the effects on our operating costs
because in some instances compliance standards have not
been developed or have not become final or definitive. In
addition, it is difficult to isolate the environmental component
of most manufacturing capital projects.

Our capital projects typically are designed to:

•enhance safety,
•extend the life of a facility,
•increase capacity,
•increase efficiency,
•facilitate raw material changes and handling requirements,
•increase the economic value of assets or products, and
•comply with regulatory standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP

We are involved in the environmental investigation or
remediation of numerous sites. Of these sites:

•we may have the sole obligation to remediate,
•we may share that obligation with one or more parties,
•several parties may have joint and several obligations to

remediate or

•we may have been named as a potentially responsible party

for sites designated as U.S. Superfund sites.

Our liability with respect to these various sites ranges from
insignificant to substantial. The amount of liability depends on:

•the quantity, toxicity and nature of materials at the site; and
•the number and economic viability of the other responsible

parties.

We spent approximately $15 million in 2017 and expect to
spend approximately $14 million in 2018 on environmental
remediation of these sites.

It is our policy to accrue for environmental-remediation costs
when we:

•determine it is probable that such an obligation exists and
•can reasonably estimate the amount of the obligation.
We currently believe it is reasonably possible that our costs to
remediate all the identified sites may exceed our current
accruals of $48 million. Based on currently available
information and analysis, remediation costs for all identified
sites may exceed our existing reserves by up to $150 million.
This estimate of the upper end of the range of reasonably
possible additional costs is much less certain than the
estimates we currently are using to determine how much to
accrue. The estimate of the upper range also uses
assumptions less favorable to us among the range of
reasonably possible outcomes.

REGULATION OF AIR EMISSIONS IN THE U.S.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
promulgated regulations for air emissions from:

•wood products facilities and
•industrial boilers.
These regulations cover:

•hazardous air pollutants that require use of maximum

achievable control technology (MACT); and

•controls for pollutants that contribute to smog, haze and

more recently, greenhouse gases.

Between 2011 and 2015, the EPA issued three related
portions of new MACT standards for industrial boilers and
process heaters. In July 2016, a court decision was issued that
remains unsettled at this time, but which will cause certain of
the emissions standards to be re-issued. Some of these
re-issued emissions standards will be applicable to a small
number of our wood products mills. Because the court decision
remains unsettled and because we do not know how or when
the EPA will implement the final court decision, we cannot
predict whether or when the emission standard revisions may
have a material impact on regulatory compliance costs at our
mills. We do not expect any material expenditures in 2017 to
comply with MACT standards.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

17

The EPA must still promulgate supplemental MACT standards
for plywood, lumber and composite wood products facilities.
The EPA is expected to collect information for these future
rulemakings in 2017.

We cannot currently quantify the amount of capital we will need
in the future to comply with new regulations being developed by
the EPA because final rules have not been promulgated.

In 2010, the EPA issued a final greenhouse gas rule limiting
the growth of emissions from new projects meeting certain
thresholds. On June 23, 2014, the US Supreme Court issued a
decision that removed potential applicability of the underlying
2010 regulations based solely on greenhouse gas emissions
and limited application of the rule’s technology requirements to
larger emission sources as a result of new emissions from
non-greenhouse gas pollutants. As a result of this Supreme
Court ruling, EPA is expected to issue new regulations to set
thresholds for when the greenhouse gas technology
requirements apply if the non-greenhouse gas emissions trigger
the rule in the first instance. The impact of the Supreme Court
ruling is to end the potential applicability of the technology
requirements for our smaller manufacturing operations and limit
the applicability for our other operations.

In 2015, the EPA issued an extensive regulatory program for
new and existing electric utility generating units to scale back
emissions of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) arising from
fossil fuel use to generate electricity. EPA also proposed
additional regulations related to how states and federal
agencies may implement the requirements finalized in 2015.
This regulatory program potentially will have indirect impacts on
our operations, such as from rising purchased electricity prices
or from mandated energy demand reductions that could apply
to our mills and other facilities that we operate. We are
evaluating the regulations and additional proposals but are not
able to predict whether the regulations, when complete and
implemented, will have a material impact on our operations.

We use significant biomass for energy production at our mills.
EPA is currently working on rules regarding regulation of
biomass emissions. The impact of these greenhouse gas and
biomass rules, as well as recent court decisions, on our
operations remains uncertain. To address concerns about
greenhouse gases as a pollutant, we:

•closely monitor legislative, regulatory and scientific

developments pertaining to climate change;

•adopted in 2006, as part of the company’s sustainability
program, a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by
40 percent by 2020 compared with our emissions in 2000,
assuming a comparable portfolio and regulations;
•determined to achieve this goal by increasing energy

efficiency and using more greenhouse gas-neutral, biomass
fuels instead of fossil fuels; and

18

•reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately
25 percent considering changes in the asset portfolio
according to 2014 data, compared to our 2000 baseline.

Additional factors that could affect greenhouse gas emissions
in the future include:

•policy proposals by federal or state governments regarding

regulation of greenhouse gas emissions,

•Congressional legislation regulating greenhouse gas

emissions within the next several years and

•establishment of a multistate or federal greenhouse gas
emissions reduction trading system with potentially
significant implications for all U.S. businesses.

We believe these developments have not had, and in 2018 will
not have, a significant effect on our operations. Although these
measures could have a material adverse effect on our
operations in the future, we expect that we will not be
disproportionately affected by these measures as compared
with owners of comparable operations. We maintain an active
forestry research program to track and understand any potential
effect from actual climate change related parameters that could
affect the forests we own and manage and do not anticipate
any disruptions to our planned operations.

REGULATION OF AIR EMISSIONS IN CANADA

In addition to existing provincial air quality regulations, the
Canadian federal government has proposed an air quality
management system (AQMS) as a comprehensive national
approach for improving air quality in Canada. The federal
proposed AQMS includes:

•ambient air quality standards for outdoor air quality

management across the country,

•a framework for air zone air management within provinces

and territories that targets specific sources of air emissions,

•regional airsheds that facilitate coordinated action across

borders,

•industrial sector based emission requirements that set a
national base level of performance for major industries in
Canada and

•improved intergovernmental collaboration to reduce

emissions from the transportation sector.

In 2016, Environment Canada released the Pan-Canadian
Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, a
“Greenhouse Gas Emission Framework.” The framework put in
place a national, sector-based greenhouse gas reduction
program applicable to a number of industries.

All Canadian provincial governments:

•have greenhouse gas reporting requirements,
•are working on reduction strategies and

In 2016, the EPA finalized new and revised federal Clean Water
Act water quality standards and human health criteria that
would apply to waters under the state of Maine’s jurisdiction.

In addition, in 2013, amendments to the Canadian Federal
Fisheries Act came into force. These amendments change the
focus from habitat protection to fisheries protection and
increase penalties. We expect further changes to these
regulations subsequent to review and regulatory consultations
that took place in 2016, but we cannot predict the scope or
potential impact, if any, on our operations.

We believe the above developments have not had, and in 2018
will not have, a significant effect on our operations. Although
these measures could have a material adverse effect on our
operations in the future, we expect that we will not be
disproportionately affected by these measures as compared
with owners of comparable operations. We also expect that
these measures will not significantly disrupt our planned
operations.

POTENTIAL CHANGES IN POLLUTION REGULATION

State governments continue to promulgate total maximum daily
load (TMDL) requirements for pollutants in water bodies that do
not meet state or EPA water quality standards. State TMDL
requirements may:

•set limits on pollutants that may be discharged to a body of

water; or

•set additional requirements, such as best management
practices for nonpoint sources, including timberland
operations, to reduce the amounts of pollutants.

It is not possible to estimate the capital expenditures that may
be required for us to meet pollution allocations across the
various proposed state TMDL programs until a specific TMDL is
promulgated.

In Canada, various levels of government have been working to
address water issues including use, quality and management.
Recent areas of focus include water allocation, regional
watershed protection, protection of drinking water, water pricing
and a national water quality index.

•together with the Canadian federal government, are
considering new or revised emission standards.

In addition, British Columbia has adopted a carbon tax and
Alberta has a mandatory greenhouse gas emission reduction
regulation.

We believe these measures have not had, and in 2018 will not
have, a significant effect on our operations. Although these
measures could have a material adverse effect on our
operations in the future, we expect that we will not be
disproportionately affected by these measures as compared
with owners of comparable operations. We also expect that
these measures will not significantly disrupt our planned
operations.

REGULATION OF WATER

In the U.S., as a result of litigation under the federal Clean
Water Act, additional federal or state permits are now required
in some states for the application of pesticides, including
herbicides, on timberlands. Those permits have entailed
payment of additional costs. In 2015, federal regulatory
agencies adopted rules that potentially expand the definition of
waters subject to federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction, which
could increase the scope and number of permits required for
forestry-related activities and entail additional costs for
Weyerhaeuser and other forest landowners in the U.S. Those
rules were challenged in various federal courts by numerous
parties and states, and a nationwide injunction was issued
against the rule by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S.
Supreme Court recently ruled that the circuit court does not
have jurisdiction over the case, so the nationwide injunction will
be dissolved in the immediate future, but one other injunction
still blocks the rule in several states. On January 31, 2018,
federal agencies took regulatory action to further delay the
2015 rules from going into effect until February 2020. That
action will likely be challenged in litigation. If any such
challenge is successful, other injunctive efforts will likely be
pursued by the parties to one or more of the other pending
cases challenging the 2015 rules, whose jurisdiction has now
been confirmed by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the federal
agencies will likely continue to pursue the repeal of the 2015
rules entirely and replacement of them with the pre-2015 rules.
We are not able to predict the ultimate resolution of these
pending legal and regulatory actions.

In 2016, Washington State Department of Ecology (WA DOE)
adopted human health-based water quality criteria. The EPA
subsequently promulgated its own water quality standards for
Washington state for the protection of human health for certain
pollutants. It is unclear what effect, if any, these rules will have
on our manufacturing operations in Washington state.

Do”, “Our Business — Natural Resources and Environmental
Matters”, “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” as well as in the filings we make from time to time
with the SEC, in evaluating us, our business and an investment
in our securities.

The risks discussed below are not the only risks we face.
Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently
deem immaterial also may adversely affect our business.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The industries in which we operate are sensitive to
macroeconomic conditions and consequently are highly
cyclical.

The overall levels of demand for the products we manufacture
and distribute reflect fluctuations in levels of end-user demand,
which consequently impact our sales and profitability. End-user
demand depends in large part on general macroeconomic
conditions, both in the U.S. and globally, as well as on local
economic conditions. Current economic conditions in the United
States reflect growth at or below historical trends. Global
economic conditions reflect issues such as inflation and
volatile and sporadic growth in emerging countries. The length
and magnitude of industry cycles vary over time, both by market
and by product, but generally reflect changes in macroeconomic
conditions and levels of industry capacity. Any decline or
stagnation in macroeconomic conditions could cause us to
experience lower sales volume and reduced margins.

COMMODITY PRODUCTS

Many of our products are commodities that are widely
available from other producers.

Because commodity products have few distinguishing
properties from producer to producer, competition for these
products is based primarily on price, which is determined by
supply relative to demand and competition from substitute

products. In addition, prices for our products are affected by
many other factors outside of our control. As a result, we have
little influence over the timing and extent of price changes,
which often are volatile. Our profitability with respect to these
products depends, in part, on managing our costs, particularly
raw material, labor (including contract labor) and energy costs,
which represent significant components of our operating costs
and can fluctuate based upon factors beyond our control. Both
sales and profitability of our products are subject to volatility
due to market forces beyond our control.

INDUSTRY SUPPLY OF LOGS AND WOOD PRODUCTS

Excess supply of logs and wood products may adversely affect
prices and margins.

Our industry may increase harvest levels, which could lead to
an oversupply of logs. Wood products producers may likewise
expand manufacturing capacity, which could lead to an
oversupply of manufactured wood products. Any increase of
industry supply to our markets could adversely affect our prices
and margins.

HOMEBUILDING MARKET AND ECONOMIC RISKS

High unemployment, low demand and low levels of consumer
confidence can adversely affect our business and results of
operations.

Our business is dependent upon the health of the U.S. housing
market. Demand for homes is sensitive to changes in economic
conditions such as the level of employment, consumer
confidence, consumer income, the availability of financing and
interest rate levels. Other factors that could limit or adversely
affect demand for new homes, and hence demand for our
products, include factors such as limited wage growth,
increases in non-mortgage consumer debt, any weakening in
consumer confidence, and any increase in foreclosure rates
and distress sales of houses.

Homebuyers’ ability to qualify for and obtain affordable
mortgages could be affected by changes in interest rates,
changes in home loan underwriting standards and government
sponsored entities and private mortgage insurance companies
supporting the mortgage market.

Access to affordable mortgage financing is critical to the health
of the U.S. housing market. Generally, increases in interest
rates make it more difficult for home buyers to obtain mortgage
financing, which could negatively affect demand for housing
and, in turn, negatively affect demand for our wood products.
After an extended period during which the U.S. Federal Reserve
kept its benchmark interest rate at historically low levels, it
began raising rates again in 2016 and 2017. The number and
extent of further rate increases is uncertain.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

21

Credit requirements were severely tightened, and the number of
mortgage loans available for financing home purchases were
severely reduced, during the most recent recession and
ensuing credit crisis. Although the availability of credit has
improved since that time, the demand for new homes could be
limited or adversely affected if credit requirements were to
again tighten or become more restrictive for any reason.

The liquidity provided to the mortgage industry by Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, both of which purchase home mortgages and
mortgage-backed securities originated by mortgage lenders, has
been critical to the housing market. Any political or other
developments that would have the effect of limiting or
restricting the availability of financing by these government
sponsored entities could also adversely affect interest rates
and the availability of mortgage financing. Whether resulting
from direct increases in borrowing rates, tightened underwriting
standards on mortgage loans or reduced federal support of the
mortgage lending industry, a challenging mortgage financing
environment could reduce demand for housing and, therefore,
adversely affect demand for our products.

Changes in regulations relating to tax deductions for
mortgage interest expense and real estate taxes could harm
our future sales and earnings.

Significant costs of homeownership include mortgage interest
expense and real estate taxes, both of which are generally
deductible for an individual’s federal and, in some cases, state
income taxes. Recent federal legislation reduced the amount of
mortgage interest and real estate taxes that certain taxpayers
may deduct. These and any similar changes to income tax laws
by the federal government or by a state government to
eliminate or substantially reduce these income tax deductions,
or any increase in real property taxes by local governments,
may increase the cost of homeownership and thus could
adversely affect the demand for our products.

TRANSPORTATION

We depend on third parties for transportation services and
increases in costs and disruptions in the availability of
transportation could materially adversely affect our business
and operations.

Our business depends heavily on the availability of third-party
transportation service providers for the transportation of our
manufactured wood products and wood fiber; we are therefore
materially affected by the availability and cost of these
services. Any significant increase in the operating costs to our
service providers, including without limitation the cost of fuel or
labor, could have a material negative impact on our financial
results by increasing the cost of these services to us, as well
as result in an overall reduction in the availability of these
services altogether.

22

Our third-party transportation providers are also subject to
several events outside of their control, such as disruption of
transportation infrastructure, labor issues and natural
disasters. Any failure of a third-party transportation provider to
timely deliver our products, including delivery of our wood
products to our customer and delivery of wood fiber to our
mills, could harm our supply chain, negatively affect our
customer relationships and have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition, results of operations and our reputation.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

MANAGING COMMERCIAL TIMBERLANDS RISKS

Our ability to harvest and deliver timber may be subject to
limitations which could adversely affect our results of
operations.

Our primary assets are our timberlands. Weather conditions,
timber growth cycles, access limitations, and availability of
contract loggers and haulers may adversely affect our ability to
harvest our timberlands. Other factors that may adversely affect
our timber harvest include damage to our standing timber by
fire or by insect infestation, disease, prolonged drought,
flooding, severe weather and other natural disasters. Changes
in global climate conditions could intensify one or more of
these factors. Although damage from such causes usually is
localized and affects only a limited percentage of standing
timber, there can be no assurance that any damage affecting
our timberlands will in fact be limited. As is common in the
forest products industry, we do not maintain insurance
coverage for damage to our timberlands. Our revenues, net
income and cash flow from operations are dependent to a
significant extent on the pricing of our products and our
continued ability to harvest timber at adequate levels.
Therefore, if we were to be restricted from harvesting on a
significant portion of our timberlands for a prolonged period of
time, or if material damage to a significant portion of our
standing timber were to occur, we could suffer a materially
adverse impact to our results of operations.

Our timber harvest levels may be affected by acquisitions of
additional timberlands, sales of existing timberlands and shifts
in harvest from one region to another. Future timber harvest
levels may also be affected by our ability to timely and
effectively replant harvested areas, which depends on several
factors including changes in estimates of long-term sustainable
yield because of silvicultural advances, natural disasters, fires,
pests, insects and other hazards, regulatory constraints and
other factors beyond our control.

Timber harvest activities are also subject to a number of
federal, state and local regulations pertaining to the protection
of fish, wildlife, water and other resources. Regulations,

re-interpretations and litigation can restrict timber harvest
activities and increase costs. Examples include federal and
state laws protecting threatened, endangered and “at-risk”
species, harvesting and forestry road building activities that
may be restricted under the U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, state
forestry practices laws, laws protecting aboriginal rights, and
other similar regulations.

Our estimates of timber inventories and growth rates may be
inaccurate and include risks inherent in calculating such
estimates, which may impair our ability to realize expected
revenues.

Whether in connection with managing our existing timberland
portfolio or assessing potential timberland acquisitions, we
make and rely on important estimates of merchantable timber
inventories. These include estimates of timber inventories that
may be lawfully and economically harvested, timber growth
rates and end-product yields. Timber growth rates and yield
estimates are developed by forest biometricians and other
experts using statistical measurements of tree samples on
given property. These estimates are central to forecasting our
anticipated timber harvests, revenues and expected cash flows.
While the company has confidence in its timber inventory
processes and the professionals in the field who administer it,
growth and yield estimates are inherently inexact and uncertain.
If these estimates are inaccurate, our ability to manage our
timberlands in a sustainable or profitable manner may be
compromised, which may cause our results of operations and
our stock price to be adversely affected.

Our operating results and cash flows will be materially
affected by supply and demand for timber.

A variety of factors affect prices for timber, including available
supply, changes in economic conditions that impact demand,
the level of domestic new construction and remodeling activity,
interest rates, credit availability, population growth, weather
conditions and pest infestation, and other factors. These
factors vary by region, by timber type (i.e., sawlogs or pulpwood
logs) and by species.

Timber prices are affected by changes in demand on a local,
national and international level. The closure of a mill in a region
where we own timber could have a material adverse effect on
demand in that region, and therefore pricing. For example, as
the demand for paper continues to decline, closures of pulp
mills in some of our operating regions have adversely affected
the regional demand for pulpwood and wood chips. Another
example involves our export of logs to Asia. While recent
demand from Asian markets has remained steady, some Asian
markets, particularly in China, have a history of significant
volatility. A decrease in demand for logs from one or more
Asian markets could have a negative impact on log and lumber
prices.

Timber prices are also affected by changes in timber availability
at the local, national and international level. Our timberland
ownership is concentrated in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon and
Washington. In some of these states, much of the timberland
is privately owned. Increases in timber prices often result in
substantial increases in harvesting on private timberlands,
including lands not previously made available for commercial
timber operations, causing a short-term increase in supply that
moderates such price increases. In western states such as
Oregon and Washington, where a greater proportion of
timberland is government-owned, any substantial increase in
timber harvesting from government-owned land could
significantly reduce timber prices. Any decrease in the demand
from our log export markets could also result in significant
downward pressure on timber prices, particularly in the western
region. On a local level, timber supplies can fluctuate
depending on factors such as changes in weather conditions
and harvest strategies of local timberland owners, as well as
occasionally high timber salvage efforts due to events such as
pest infestations, fires or other natural disasters.

Timberlands make up a significant portion of our business
portfolio.

Our real property holdings are primarily timberlands and we may
make additional timberlands acquisitions in the future. As the
owner and manager of approximately 12.4 million acres of
timberlands, we are subject to the risks that are inherent in
concentrated real estate investments. A downturn in the real
estate industry generally, or the timber or forest products
industries specifically, could reduce the value of our properties
and adversely affect our results of operations. Such a downturn
could also adversely affect our customers and reduce the
demand for our products, as well as our ability to realize upon
our strategy of selling nonstrategic timberlands and timberland
properties that have higher and better uses at attractive prices.
These risks may be more pronounced than if we diversified our
investments outside of real property holdings.

MANUFACTURING AND SELLING WOOD PRODUCTS
RISKS

A material disruption at one of our manufacturing facilities
could prevent us from meeting customer demand, reduce our
sales or negatively affect our results of operation and financial
condition.

Any of our manufacturing facilities, or any of our machines
within an otherwise operational facility, could cease operations
unexpectedly due to a number of events, including:

•unscheduled maintenance outages;
•prolonged power failures;
•equipment failure;

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

23

•a chemical spill or release;
•explosion of a boiler;
•fires, floods, windstorms, earthquakes, hurricanes or other
severe weather conditions or catastrophes, affecting the
production of goods or the supply of raw materials (including
fiber);

•the effect of drought or reduced rainfall on water supply;
•labor difficulties;
•disruptions in transportation infrastructure, including roads,

bridges, rail, tunnels, shipping and port facilities;

•terrorism or threats of terrorism;
•governmental regulations; and
•other operational problems.
Any such downtime or facility damage could prevent us from
meeting customer demand for our products or require us to
make unplanned capital expenditures. If one of our facilities or
machines were to incur significant downtime, our ability to meet
our production targets and satisfy customer requirements could
be impaired, resulting in lower sales and income. Although
some risks are not insurable and some coverage is limited, we
purchase insurance protecting our manufacturing facilities from
fires, floods, windstorms, earthquakes, equipment failures and
boiler explosions.

Some of our products are vulnerable to declines in demand
due to competing technologies or materials.

Our products may compete with non-fiber based alternatives or
with alternative products in certain market segments. For
example, plastic, wood/plastic or composite materials may be
used by builders as alternatives to the products produced by
our Wood Products businesses such as lumber, veneer,
plywood and oriented strand board. Changes in prices for oil,
chemicals and wood-based fiber can change the competitive
position of our products relative to available alternatives and
could increase substitution of those products for our products.
If use of these alternative products grows, demand for and
pricing of our products could be adversely affected.

Our results of operations and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected by changes in product mix or
pricing.

Our results may be materially adversely affected by a change in
our product mix or pricing. If we are not successful in
implementing previously announced or future price increases,
or in our plans to increase sales of higher-priced, higher-value
products, or if there are delays in acceptance of price increases
or if customers do not accept higher-priced products, our
results of operations and financial condition could be materially
and adversely affected. Price discounting, if required to
maintain our competitive position in one or more markets,
could result in lower than anticipated price realizations and
margins.

24

We face intense competition in our markets; any failure to
compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We compete with North American producers and, for some of
our product lines, global producers, some of which may have
greater financial resources and lower production costs than do
we. The principal basis for competition for many of our products
is selling price. Our ability to maintain satisfactory margins
depends in large part on our ability to control our costs. Our
industries also are particularly sensitive to other factors
including innovation, design, quality and service, with varying
emphasis on these factors depending on the product line. To
the extent that one or more of our competitors become more
successful with respect to any key competitive factor, our ability
to attract and retain customers could be materially adversely
affected. Any failure to compete effectively could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Another emerging form of competition is between brands of
sustainably produced products; customer demand for certain
brands could reduce competition among buyers for our
products or cause other adverse effects.

In North America, our forests are third party-certified to the
Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®) standard. Some of our
customers have expressed a preference in certain of our
product lines for products made from raw materials sourced
from forests certified to different standards, including
standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). If and to the
extent that preference for a standard other than SFI® becomes
a customer requirement, there may be reduced demand and
lower prices for our products relative to competitors who can
supply products sourced from forests certified to competing
certification standards. If we seek to comply with such other
standards, we could incur materially increased costs for our
operations or be required to modify our operations, such as
reducing harvest levels. FSC, in particular, employs standards
that are geographically variable and could cause a material
reduction in the harvest levels of some of our timberlands,
most notably in the Pacific Northwest.

Our business and operations could be materially adversely
affected by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials
and energy.

We rely heavily on certain raw materials (principally wood fiber
and chemicals) and energy sources (principally natural gas,
electricity and fuel oil) in our manufacturing processes. Our
ability to increase earnings has been, and will continue to be,
affected by changes in the costs and availability of such raw
materials and energy sources. We may not be able to fully
offset the effects of higher raw material or energy costs through

price increases, productivity improvements, cost-reduction
programs or hedging arrangements.

cash requirements on acceptable economic terms, we could
experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

RISKS RELATED TO CAPITAL MARKETS

FOREIGN CURRENCY

CAPITAL MARKETS

Deterioration in economic conditions and capital markets
could adversely affect our access to capital.

Challenging market conditions could impair the company’s
ability to raise debt or equity capital or otherwise access capital
markets on terms acceptable to us, which may, among other
impacts, reduce our ability to take advantage of growth and
expansion opportunities. Likewise, our customers and suppliers
may be unable to raise capital to fund their operations, which
could, in turn, adversely affect their ability to purchase products
or sell products to us.

CREDIT RATINGS

Changes in credit ratings issued by nationally recognized
rating organizations could adversely affect our cost of
financing and have an adverse effect on the market price of
our securities.

Credit rating agencies rate our debt securities on factors that
include our operating results and balance sheet, actions that
we take, their view of the general outlook for our industry and
their view of the general outlook for the economy. Ratings
decisions by these agencies include maintaining, upgrading or
downgrading our current rating, as well as placing the company
on a “watch list” for possible future ratings actions. Any
downgrade of our credit rating, or decision by a rating agency to
place us on a “watch list” for possible future downgrading could
have an adverse impact on our ability to access credit markets,
increase our cost of financing, and have an adverse effect on
the market price of our securities.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL

Our operations require substantial capital.

Our businesses require substantial capital for expansion and
for repair or replacement of existing facilities or equipment.
Although we maintain our production equipment with regular
scheduled maintenance, key pieces of equipment may need to
be repaired or replaced periodically. The costs of repairing or
replacing such equipment and the associated downtime of the
affected production line could have a significant impact on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

While we believe our capital resources will be adequate to meet
our current projected operating needs, capital expenditures and
other cash requirements, if for any reason we are unable to
provide for our operating needs, capital expenditures and other

We will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates.

We have manufacturing operations in Canada. We are also an
exporter and compete with global producers of products very
similar to ours. Therefore, we are affected by changes in the
strength of the U.S. dollar, particularly relative to the Canadian
dollar, euro and yen, and the strength of the euro relative to the
yen. Changes in exchange rates could materially and adversely
affect our sales volume, margins and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL, REGULATORY AND TAX

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

We could incur substantial costs as a result of compliance
with, violations of, or liabilities under applicable
environmental laws and other laws and regulations.

We are subject to a wide range of general and industry-specific
laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment, including those governing:

•air emissions,
•wastewater discharges,
•harvesting and other silvicultural activities,
•forestry operations and endangered species habitat

protection,

•surface water management,
•the storage, management and disposal of hazardous

substances and wastes,

•the cleanup of contaminated sites,
•landfill operation and closure obligations,
•building codes, and
•health and safety matters.
We have incurred, and we expect to continue to incur,
significant capital, operating and other expenditures complying
with applicable environmental laws and regulations and as a
result of remedial obligations. We also could incur substantial
costs, such as civil or criminal fines, sanctions and
enforcement actions (including orders limiting our operations or
requiring corrective measures, installation of pollution control
equipment or other remedial actions), cleanup and closure
costs, and third-party claims for property damage and personal
injury as a result of violations of, or liabilities under,
environmental laws and regulations.

As the owner and operator of real estate, we may be liable
under environmental laws for cleanup, closure and other
damages resulting from the presence and release of hazardous

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

25

substances on or from our properties or operations. In addition,
surface water management regulations may present liabilities
and are subject to change. The amount and timing of
environmental expenditures is difficult to predict, and in some
cases, our liability may exceed forecasted amounts or the value
of the property itself. The discovery of additional contamination
or the imposition of additional cleanup obligations at our sites
or third-party sites may result in significant additional costs.

We also lease some of our properties to third-party operators
for the purpose of exploring, extracting, developing and
producing oil, gas, rock and other minerals in exchange for fees
and royalty payments. These activities are also subject to
federal, state and local laws and regulations. These operations
may create risk of environmental liabilities for any unlawful
discharge of oil, gas or other chemicals into the air, soil or
water. Generally, these third-party operators indemnify us
against any such liability, and we require that that they maintain
liability insurance during the term of our lease with them.
However, if for any reason our third-party operators are not able
to honor their indemnity obligation, or if the required liability
insurance were not in effect, then it is possible that we could
be deemed responsible for costs associated with
environmental liability caused by such third-party operators.

Any material liability we incur as a result of activities conducted
on our properties by us or by others with whom we have a
business relationship could adversely affect our financial
condition.

We also anticipate public policy developments at the state,
federal and international level regarding climate change and
energy access, security and competitiveness. We expect these
developments to address emission of carbon dioxide,
renewable energy and fuel standards, and the monetization of
carbon. Compliance with regulations that implement new public
policy in these areas might require significant expenditures.
These developments may also include mandated changes to
energy use and building codes which could affect our
homebuilding practices. Enactment of new environmental laws
or regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations, or the
interpretation of these laws or regulations, might require
significant expenditures. We also anticipate public policy
developments at the state, federal and international level
regarding taxes and a number of other areas that could require
significant expenditures.

Changes in global or regional climate conditions and
governmental response to such changes at the international,
U.S. federal and state levels may affect our operations or our
planned or future growth activities.

There continue to be numerous international, U.S. federal and
state-level initiatives and proposals to address domestic and
global climate issues. Within the U.S. and Canada, some of

26

these proposals would (and have in some Canadian provinces)
regulate and/or tax the production of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases to facilitate the reduction of carbon
compound emissions into the atmosphere and provide tax and
other incentives to produce and use cleaner energy. Climate
change impacts, if they occur, and governmental initiatives,
laws and regulations to address potential climate concerns,
could increase our costs and have a long-term adverse impact
on our businesses and results of operations. Future legislation
or regulatory activity in this area remains uncertain, and its
impact on our operations is unclear at this time. However, it is
possible that legislation or government mandates, standards or
regulations intended to mitigate or reduce carbon compound or
greenhouse gas emissions or other climate change impacts
could adversely affect our operations. For example, such
activities could limit harvest levels or result in significantly
higher costs for energy and other raw materials. Because our
manufacturing operations depend upon significant amounts of
energy and raw materials, these initiatives could have an
adverse impact on our results of operations and profitability.

LEGAL MATTERS

We are involved in various environmental, regulatory, product
liability and other legal matters, disputes and proceedings
that, if determined or concluded in a manner adverse to our
interests, could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition.

We are, from time to time, involved in a number of legal
matters, disputes and proceedings (“legal matters”), some of
which involve on-going litigation. These include, without
limitation, legal matters involving environmental clean-up and
remediation, warranty and non-warranty product liability claims,
regulatory issues, contractual and personal injury claims and
other legal matters. In some cases, all or a portion of any loss
we experience in connection with any such legal matters will be
covered by insurance; in other cases, any such losses will not
be covered.

The outcome, costs and other effects of current legal matters
in which we are involved, and any related insurance recoveries,
cannot be determined with certainty. Although the disclosures
in Note 14: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies and Note 20: Income Taxes of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contain management’s
current views of the effect such legal matters could have on our
financial results, there can be no assurance that the outcome
of such legal matters will be as currently expected. It is
possible that there could be adverse judgments against us in
some or all major litigation matters against us, and that we
could be required to take a charge and make cash payments
for all or a portion of any related awards of damages. Any one
or more of such charges or cash payment could materially and

adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows for the
quarter or year in which we record or pay it.

REIT STATUS AND TAX IMPLICATIONS

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, our taxable income
would be subject to tax at corporate rates and we would not
be able to deduct dividends to shareholders.

In any taxable year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT, unless
we are entitled to relief under the Internal Revenue Code:
•We would not be allowed to deduct dividends to shareholders

in computing our taxable income.

•We would be subject to federal and state income tax on our

taxable income at applicable corporate rates.

•We also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for

the four taxable years following the year during which we lost
qualification.

Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly
technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
to our operations and the determination of various factual
matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. There
are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations of
these provisions. Although we operate in a manner consistent
with the REIT qualification rules, we cannot assure you that we
are or will remain so qualified.

Certain of our business activities are subject to corporate-level
income tax and potentially subject to prohibited transactions
tax.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs generally must engage
in the ownership and management of income producing real
estate. For the company, this generally includes owning and
managing a timberland portfolio for the production and sale of
standing timber. Accordingly, the harvesting and sale of logs,
the development or sale of certain timberlands and other real
estate, and the manufacture and sale of wood products are
conducted through one or more of our wholly-owned taxable
REIT subsidiaries (TRSs) because such activities could
generate non-qualifying REIT income and could constitute
“prohibited transactions.” Prohibited transactions are defined
by the Internal Revenue Code generally to be sales or other
dispositions of property to customers in the ordinary course of
a trade or business. By conducting our business in this
manner, we believe that we satisfy the REIT requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code and are not subject to the
100 percent tax that could be imposed if a REIT were to
conduct a prohibited transaction. The net income of our TRSs is
subject to corporate-level income tax.

The extent of our use of our TRSs may affect the price of our
common shares relative to the share price of other REITs.

We conduct a significant portion of our business activities
through one or more TRSs. The use of our TRSs enables us to

engage in non-REIT qualifying business activities such as the
sale of logs, production and sale of wood products, and the
development and sale of certain higher and better use (HBU)
property. Our TRSs are subject to corporate-level income tax.
Under the Code, no more than 20 percent of the value of the
gross assets of a REIT may be represented by securities of one
or more TRSs. This limitation may affect our ability to increase
the size of our TRSs’ operations. Furthermore, our use of TRSs
may cause the market to value our common shares differently
than the shares of other REITs, which may not use TRSs as
extensively as we use them.

We may be limited in our ability to fund distributions using cash
generated through our TRSs.

The ability of the REIT to receive dividends from our TRSs is
limited by the rules with which we must comply to maintain our
status as a REIT. In particular, at least 75 percent of gross
income for each taxable year as a REIT must be derived from
real estate sources including sales of our standing timber and
other types of qualifying real estate income and no more than
25 percent of our gross income may consist of dividends from
our TRSs and other non-real estate income.

This limitation on our ability to receive dividends from our TRSs
may affect our ability to fund cash distributions to our
shareholders using cash flows from our TRSs. The net income
of our TRSs is not required to be distributed, and TRS income
that is not distributed to the REIT will not be subject to the REIT
income distribution requirement.

Our cash dividends are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.

Generally, REITs are required to distribute 90 percent of their
ordinary taxable income and 95 percent of their net capital
gains income. Capital gains may be retained by the REIT but
would be subject to corporate income taxes. If capital gains are
retained rather than distributed, our shareholders would be
notified, and they would be deemed to have received a taxable
distribution, with a refundable credit for any federal income tax
paid by the REIT. Accordingly, we believe that we are not
required to distribute material amounts of cash since
substantially all of our taxable income is treated as capital
gains income. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion,
determines the amount of quarterly dividends to be provided to
our shareholders based on consideration of a number of
factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, our
results of operations, cash flow and capital requirements,
economic conditions, tax considerations, borrowing capacity
and other factors, including debt covenant restrictions that may
impose limitations on cash payments, future acquisitions and
divestitures, harvest levels, changes in the price and demand
for our products and general market demand for timberlands
including those timberland properties that have higher and
better uses. Consequently, our dividend levels may fluctuate.

Changes in tax laws or their interpretation could adversely
affect our shareholders and our results of operations.

Federal and state tax laws are constantly under review by persons
involved in the legislative process, the Internal Revenue Service, the
United States Department of the Treasury, and state taxing authorities.
Changes to tax laws could adversely affect our shareholders or increase
our effective tax rates. We cannot predict with certainty whether, when,
in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws applicable to
us or our shareholders may be changed.

IMPORT/EXPORT TAXES AND DUTIES

We may be required to pay significant taxes on our exported
products or countervailing and anti-dumping duties on our
imported products.

We export logs and finished wood products to foreign markets,
and our ability to do so profitably is affected by U.S. and foreign
trade policy. International trade disputes occur frequently and
can be taken to an International Trade Court for resolution of
unfair trade practices between countries. For example, there
have been many disputes and subsequent trade agreements
regarding sales of softwood lumber between Canada,
historically a significant source of lumber for the U.S. market,
and the United States. The Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA)
between Canada and the U.S., originally signed in October
2006, expired in October 2015, and a new agreement has not
been reached. The prior agreement imposed a sliding scale
export tax on Canadian lumber exported to the U.S. when the
price of lumber was at or below a threshold price. In November
2016, a coalition of U.S. lumber producers filed petitions
seeking countervailing and anti-dumping duties on Canadian
lumber. On the basis of the U.S. International Trade
Commission’s affirmative finding of injury to U.S. lumber
producers, the U.S. Department of Commerce recently imposed
final anti-dumping and countervailing duties at a combined rate
of 20.23% on most Canadian softwood lumber exporters.

For more information regarding the status of the softwood
lumber agreement and any U.S. government regulatory action
regarding imposition of countervailing and anti-dumping duties
or other actions, and the effect of any such actions on our
business, see the discussion in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis — Softwood Lumber Agreement section of this
report.

U.S. international trade policy could result in one or more of our
foreign export market jurisdictions adopting responsive trade
policy making it more difficult or costly for us to export our
products to those countries. We could therefore experience
reduced revenues and margins in any of our businesses that is
adversely affected by international trade tariffs, duties, taxes,
customs or dispute settlement terms. To the extent such trade
policies increase prices, they could also reduce the demand for
our products and could have a material adverse effect on our

28

business, financial results and financial condition, including
facility closures or impairments of assets. We cannot predict
future trade policy or the terms of any settlements of
international trade disputes and their impact on our business.

DISTRIBUTION OF WRECO SHARES

We could incur substantial U.S. federal tax liability if the
WRECO transaction were found not to qualify as a tax-free
“reorganization” or the distribution of WRECO shares to
Weyerhaeuser shareholders were found not to qualify as a
tax-free distribution.

In 2014, we closed the divestiture of our home building
business, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), via a
“Reverse Morris Trust” transaction pursuant to which a wholly-
owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (TRI Pointe) merged
with and into WRECO, with WRECO surviving the merger and
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. The Reverse
Morris Trust transaction was structured to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization and the associated distribution of WRECO
shares to Weyerhaeuser shareholders as a tax-free distribution.
If the transaction were determined not to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization, or if the distribution does not qualify as a
tax-free distribution, then Weyerhaeuser or its subsidiaries or
Weyerhaeuser shareholders may be required to pay substantial
U.S. federal income taxes.

If the transaction were determined not to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization or the distribution not to qualify as a tax-free
distribution, or if Weyerhaeuser were required to indemnify TRI
Pointe and WRECO, such taxes and indemnification obligations
could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect
the company’s cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.

OUR MERGER WITH PLUM CREEK TIMBER COMPANY,
INC.

We could incur substantial U.S. federal tax liability in
connection with our merger with Plum Creek.

On February 19, 2016, Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc.
merged with and into Weyerhaeuser Company, with
Weyerhaeuser continuing as the surviving company. Both
companies have operated in a manner intended to qualify them
as “REITs” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the
Internal Revenue Code. See “REIT Status and Tax Implications”
above for a description of the consequences of our failure to
maintain REIT status. However, even if we have operated in a
manner that allows us to retain our REIT status, if Plum Creek
were deemed to have lost its REIT status for a taxable year
before the merger or the taxable year in which the merger
occurred, we could face serious tax consequences that could
substantially reduce cash available for distribution to our

shareholders and significantly impair our ability to expand our
business and raise capital. In addition, if the merger were
determined not to qualify as a tax-free merger, we could incur
substantial federal tax liability that could materially and
adversely affect the company’s cash flows, financial condition
and results of operations.

OTHER RISKS

CYBERSECURITY

We rely on information technology to support our operations
and reporting environments. A security failure of that
technology could impact our ability to operate our businesses
effectively, adversely affect our reported financial results,
impact our reputation and expose us to potential liability or
litigation.

We use information systems to carry out our operational
activities, maintain our business records, collect and store
sensitive data, including intellectual property, other proprietary
and personally identifiable information. Some systems are
internally managed and some are maintained by third-party
service providers. We and our service providers employ what we
believe are reasonably adequate security measures, but
notwithstanding these efforts, our systems could be
compromised as a result of a cyber incident, natural disaster,
hardware or software corruption, failure or error,
telecommunications system failure, service provider error or
failure, intentional or unintentional personnel actions or other
disruption. If by any cause our systems or information
resources were compromised, or if our data were destroyed,
misappropriated or inappropriately disclosed we could suffer
significant loss or incur significant liability, including: damage to
our reputation; loss of customer confidence or goodwill; and
significant expenditures of time and money to address and
remediate resulting damages to affected individuals or
business partners, or to defend ourselves in resulting litigation
or other legal proceedings, by affected individuals, business
partners or regulators.

PENSION PLAN LIABILITY

We have a significant pension liability.

A portion of our current and former employees have accrued
benefits under our defined benefit pension plans. Although the
plans are not open to employees hired on or after January 1,
2014, current employees hired before that time continue to
accrue benefits. Requirements for funding our pension plan
liabilities are based on a number of actuarial assumptions,
including the expected rate of return on our plan assets and the
discount rate applied to our pension plan obligations.
Fluctuations in equity market returns and changes in long-term

interest rates could increase our costs under our plans and
may significantly impact future contribution requirements. It is
unknown what the actual investment return on our pension
assets will be in future years and what interest rates may be at
any given point in time. We cannot therefore provide any
assurance of what our actual pension plan costs will be in the
future, or whether we will be required under applicable law to
make future material plan contributions. See Note 9: Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
about these plans, including funding status.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

Our business and financial results may be adversely affected if
we are unable to successfully execute on important strategic
initiatives.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully
implement important strategic initiatives in accordance with our
expectations, which may result in an adverse impact on our
business and financial results. These strategic initiatives are
designed to improve our results of operations and drive long-
term shareholder value, and include, among others: optimizing
cash flow through operational excellence; reducing costs to
achieve industry-leading cost structure; and innovating in
higher-margin products.

We may be unsuccessful in carrying out our acquisition
strategy.

We intend to strategically pursue acquisitions of timberland
properties when market conditions warrant. As with any
investment, our acquisitions may not perform in accordance
with our expectations. In addition, we anticipate financing such
acquisitions through cash from operations, borrowings under
our unsecured credit facilities, proceeds from equity or debt
offerings or proceeds from asset dispositions, or any
combination thereof. Our inability to finance future acquisitions
on favorable terms could adversely affect our results of
operations.

PEOPLE

Our business is dependent upon attracting, retaining and
developing key personnel.

Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon our ability to
attract, retain and develop senior management, operations
management and other key personnel. Our financial condition
or results of operations could be significantly adversely affected
if we were to fail to recruit, retain, and develop such personnel,
or if there were to occur any significant increase in the cost of
providing such personnel with competitive total compensation
and benefits.

STOCK-PRICE VOLATILITY

The market price of our common stock may be influenced by
many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

The market price of our common stock may be influenced by
many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including
without limitation those described above and elsewhere in this
report, as well as the following:

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or

our competitors’ operating results;

•announcements by us or our competitors of new products,
capacity changes, significant contracts, acquisitions or
strategic investments;

•our growth rate and our competitors’ growth rates;
•general economic conditions;
•conditions in the financial markets;
•changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding
us, our competitors or the forest products industry generally,
or lack of analyst coverage of our common stock;
•sales of our common stock by our executive officers,

directors and significant stockholders;

•sales or repurchases of substantial amounts of common

stock;

•changes in accounting principles; and
•changes in tax laws and regulations.
In addition, there has been significant volatility in the market
price and trading volume of securities of companies operating
in the forest products industry that often has been unrelated to
individual company operating performance.

Some companies that have experienced volatile market prices
for their securities have had securities litigation brought against
them. If litigation of this type is brought against us, it could
result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention
and resources.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (MD&A)

WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS MD&A

Our MD&A includes the following major sections:

•economic and market conditions affecting our operations;
•financial performance summary;
•discussion of the softwood lumber agreement;
•results of our operations — consolidated and by segment;
•liquidity and capital resources — where we discuss our

cash flows;

•off-balance sheet arrangements;
•environmental matters, legal proceedings and other

contingencies; and

•accounting matters — where we discuss critical accounting
policies and areas requiring judgments and estimates.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS
AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS

The demand for logs within our Timberlands segment is directly
affected by production levels of domestic wood-based building
products. This segment, specifically the Western region, is also
affected by export demand. Japanese housing starts are a key
driver of export log demand in Japan. The strength of the U.S.
housing market strongly affects demand in our Wood Products
segment, as does repair and remodeling activity.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts in 2017
totaled 1.2 million units. Single family units accounted for
0.8 million of total housing starts year to date, increasing the
share of single family units to 71 percent of total housing
starts compared with 67 percent in 2016. While total housing
start growth slowed in 2017, rising by a modest 2.4 percent
overall, there has been a shift in construction away from
multifamily units, which are down 10 percent year over year, to
single family units, which have increased 9 percent over the
same period. This shift to the more wood intensive single family
construction has been positive for wood products demand. We
continue to expect improving U.S. housing starts and anticipate
a 4 percent to 10 percent increase in total starts in 2018.
Consensus forecasts place expected total housing starts
between 1.25 and 1.31 million units for 2018 (sources include
National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Fannie Mae,
Mortgage Bankers Association, The Engineered Wood
Association (APA), and Forest Economic Advisors, LLC (FEA)).
Demand for homes remains strong relative to inventories. U.S.

34

Census reported new homes sales of 608 thousand units in
2017, an increase of 8.4 percent over 2016. This sales level
was characterized by consistently low inventories as measured
by months of supply, which averaged 5.4 months through
2017. Existing home sales continued to rise in 2017, with total
sales of 5.51 million units, a gain of 1.1 percent over 2016
and the highest sales level since 2006 according to the
National Association of Realtors. Existing home inventories
were also tight with supplies averaging 3.9 months for the year,
down from 4.3 months in 2016. We attribute this continued
improvement primarily to employment growth, improving
consumer confidence and favorable mortgage rates.

According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard
University, the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA)
increased by 6.4 percent in 2017 and is expected to increase
by 7.5 percent year over year for 2018.

U.S. wood product markets advanced in 2017, consistent with
growth in homebuilding and remodeling segments, as described
above. According to FEA, North American lumber consumption
grew at a 7.2 percent rate in 2017. The Random Lengths
framing lumber composite price increased 19.4 percent in
2017 versus 2016 while oriented strand board (OSB) increased
31 percent in 2017 versus 2016 as measured by Random
Lengths North Central Price. We expect similar to slightly higher
wood product prices in 2018 as demand continues to increase
with growth in housing starts and remodeling.

Consistent with this, demand for logs increased with wood
products production within our Western region. This coupled
with higher market prices year over year drove higher
realizations within this region. Douglas fir sawlog prices as
reported by Loglines increased 10 percent from 2016 for the
domestic market and 5.7 percent for Japan export logs. In the
South, log supplies increased consistent with increased
demand, leaving prices flat to slightly down year-over-year.
According to TimberMart — South, prices for delivered
sawtimber and stumpage were down 2.6 percent and
4.6 percent respectively.

Log inventories in Chinese ports have been stable through
2017, ranging from 1.0 million to 1.5 million cubic meters (M3)
per month as reported by International Wood Markets China
Bulletin. Log and lumber demand in China remain strong,
primarily due to the strength of construction activity. Total
imports of logs and lumber increased 13 percent and
20 percent, respectively, for the first 11 months of 2017
compared on a year ago basis. In Japan, post and beam
housing starts (the primary source of log demand) for January
through November 2017 are up 1.0 percent from the same
period last year while total housing starts are down 0.1 percent
on a year ago basis.

We expect demand from China and Japan in 2018 to be similar
to modestly improved from demand experienced in 2017.

Our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment is
affected by the health of the U.S. economy and especially the
U.S. housing sector of the economy. According to the Realtors
Land Institute of the National Association of Realtors, the dollar
volume of rural properties, including timber, sold in 2017 grew
4 percent over 2016 sales while per acre prices were up
3 percent on average.

Energy markets recovered steadily in 2017. For the year, Brent
crude oil averaged $54 per barrel in 2017, an increase of $10
per barrel from 2016 levels. Prices increased fairly steadily
through the second half of the year, with year-end prices higher
than the annual average. Natural gas prices were also higher in
2017 averaging $2.99 per million British thermal units (MMBtu)
a 19 percent increase over 2016. Expectations are for energy
prices to be stable to gradually increasing in 2018.

entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional
measures period, until and through the day preceding the day
of publication of the USITC’s final injury determinations in the
Federal Register (AD suspension date was December 26,
2017 — January 2, 2018).

For retroactive imposition of CVD and AD duties to apply
90 days prior to the dates of publication of the preliminary
determinations, both the USITC and DOC must make a positive
determination. The USITC made a negative determination
regarding critical circumstances on December 7, 2017. As a
result, we reversed the accrual for the retroactive duties for
both CVD and AD, which totaled $9 million. Additionally, we
reduced our accrual by $2 million related to reduced rate
applicable to prospective period duties. As of December 31,
2017, we have expensed CVD and AD duties at the final
published rates totaling $7 million.

SOFTWOOD LUMBER AGREEMENT

We operate a total of 19 softwood lumber mills with a total
capacity of 4.9 billion board feet. Three of these mills, located
in Canada, produce approximately 900 million board feet
annually, and sell products in Canada, Asia, and the U.S.

On April 24, 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce
announced a preliminary determination that it would implement
countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber shipments
to the U.S. The rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser was
19.88 percent and became effective as of April 28, 2017. The
U.S. Department of Commerce also announced that retroactive
deposits at the 19.88 percent rate would be collected from
certain Canadian lumber producers, including Weyerhaeuser,
for softwood lumber shipments from Canada to the U.S. during
the 90-day period prior to April 28, 2017.

The preliminary countervailing duties were suspended on
August 26, 2017, at which time we effectively stopped accruing
for the expense. The suspension of the countervailing duties
was set to last until the US International Trade Commission
reaches its final determination of injury, which was issued
December 28, 2017.

On June 26, 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce
announced a preliminary determination that it would implement
anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber shipments to
the U.S. The rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser was 6.87 percent
and became effective as of June 30, 2017. The U.S.
Department of Commerce also announced that retroactive
deposits at the 6.87 percent rate would be collected from
certain Canadian lumber producers, including Weyerhaeuser,
for softwood lumber shipments from Canada to the U.S. during
the 90-day period prior to June 30, 2017.

Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (DOC) and the US International Trade Commission
(USITC) on December 28, 2017, the DOC issued countervailing
duty (CVD) and anti-dumping (AD) duty orders on certain
softwood lumber products from Canada.

The CVD rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser is 14.19 percent and
will be assessed on entries of softwood lumber from Canada
for consumption on or after April 28, 2017, the date of
publication of the preliminary determination. It will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional
measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination (CVD suspension date was August 26, 2017 —
December 27, 2017).

The AD rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser is 6.04 percent and
will be assessed on entries of softwood lumber from Canada
for consumption on or after June 30, 2017, the date of

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to
understand these terms:

•Sales realizations refer to net selling prices — this includes
selling price plus freight minus normal sales deductions.

•Net contribution to earnings refers to earnings (loss)

attributable to Weyerhaeuser shareholders before interest
expense and income taxes.

Our merger with Plum Creek during first quarter 2016
significantly affected the comparability of our consolidated
operating results between 2016 and prior periods. As a result
of progress made to integrate financial processes and systems
since the merger date, the results beginning on February 19,
2016, from acquired Plum Creek operations and the respective
impacts of these results on our current period results are
impracticable to disclose in the year-to-date period ended
December 31, 2016. Our prior period results do not include
pre-merger results of Plum Creek operations.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales

Net sales increased $831 million — 13 percent — primarily
due to:

•Wood Products segment Net sales to unaffiliated customers
increased $640 million, primarily attributable to increased
sales realizations across all product lines, as well as
increased sales volumes within our oriented strand board,
engineered I-joists, medium density fiberboard, and our
engineered solid section product lines. Additionally, upon
completion of the sales of our former Cellulose Fibers
businesses, chips previously sold to Cellulose Fibers are now
sales to unaffiliated customers. Refer to Note 3:
Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details
regarding these divestitures.

•Timberlands segment Net sales to unaffiliated customers
increased $137 million, which is primarily attributable to
increased Southern and Other (includes our Canadian
operations and timberlands included in the Twin Creeks
Venture) delivered log sales volumes, as well as, an increase
in Western log sales prices.

•Real Estate & ENR segment Net sales to unaffiliated

customers increased $54 million attributable to an increase
in timberlands acres sold in Real Estate and an increase in
royalties.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $318 million — 6 percent —
primarily due to:

•Wood Products segment Costs of products sold increased
$192 million primarily attributable to an overall increase in
sales volumes, as discussed above. This increase was offset
by the mix of products sold during 2017 compared to 2016.
•Intercompany eliminations decreased $144 million, therefore

increasing our consolidated Cost of products sold. This
reduction in intercompany costs of products sold is primarily
due to the completion of the divestitures of our former
Cellulose Fibers businesses. Prior to the completion of these
divestitures the sales and related cost of products sold for
chips and logs sold to our Cellulose Fibers businesses were
considered intercompany and therefore were not included in
our consolidated results. However, subsequent to the
divestitures these sales and the related cost of products sold
are considered sales to unaffiliated customers and therefore
included in our consolidated results.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Real
Estate and ENR costs of $24 million, primarily attributable to
the mix in properties sold in 2017 compared to 2016.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

37

Operating Income

Operating income increased $309 million — 38 percent —
primarily due to:

•an increase in consolidated gross margin of $513 million, as

described above;

•an increase in “Other operating income, net” of $75 million,

which is primarily attributable to:
– a $99 million gain recorded in fourth quarter 2017 as a
result of the sale of land in our Southern timberlands
region to Twin Creeks (refer to Note 8: Related Parties in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
details);

– a $42 million benefit related to environmental remediation

insurance recoveries received in 2017; and

– a $44 million decrease in gains on disposition of

nonstrategic assets, primarily attributable to a $36 million
pretax gain recognized in the first quarter of 2016 on the
sale of our Federal Way, Washington headquarters campus
(refer to Note 19: Other Operating Costs (Income) in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information).

These increases were partially offset by the following:

•the addition of $290 million in “Charges for product

remediation” in 2017, as there were no similar charges
during 2016. Refer to Note 18: Charges for Product
Remediation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.

•a $24 million increase in “Charges for integration and

restructuring, closures and asset impairments,” which is
primarily attributable to a $147 million noncash impairment
charge recognized during second quarter 2017 in relation to
the divestiture of our Uruguayan operations. This was
partially offset by a $112 million decrease in charges related
to our merger with Plum Creek. Refer to Note 17: Charges for
integration and restructurings, closures, and asset
impairments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details regarding the impairment as
well as the Plum Creek merger related costs.

Net Earnings Attributable to Weyerhaeuser Common
Shareholders

Our Net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common
shareholders decreased $423 million — 42 percent —
compared to 2016. Excluding “Earnings from discontinued
operations, net of tax,” Net earnings attributable to
Weyerhaeuser common shareholders increased $189 million —
48 percent — primarily due to the increase in Operating
income, as explained above. The increases in Operating income
were partially offset by a $110 million increase in expense
related to “Non-operating pension and other postretirement

38

benefits (costs) credits” due to a decrease in the expected
return on our plan assets as well as an increase in the
amortization of actuarial losses.

Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, decreased
$612 million — 100 percent — as all discontinued operations
were sold in 2016.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Net Sales

Net sales increased $1,119 million — 21 percent — primarily
due to the following developments:

•Timberlands segment sales increased $532 million primarily
due to sales from acquired Plum Creek operations. This
increase was partially offset by lower average sales
realizations. The decrease in average sales realizations is
primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume for the
South, which has lower average sales realizations compared
to the West. The South comprised 31 percent of
Timberlands’ sales to unaffiliated customers in 2016
compared to 19 percent in 2015.

•Real Estate & ENR segment sales increased $125 million

attributable to increased volume of timberland acres sold and
increased ENR sales volume attributable to the operations
acquired in our merger with Plum Creek. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in average price realized
per acre due to geographic mix of properties sold.

•Wood Products segment sales increased $462 million due to
increased medium density fiberboard and plywood sales
generated from our operations acquired from our merger with
Plum Creek and increased oriented strand board and lumber
average sales realizations.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $827 million — 20 percent —
primarily attributable to the following developments:

•Timberlands costs of products sold increased $488 million
due to increased sales volume as explained above and to
higher depletion rates in the South and West for acquired
Plum Creek timberlands, which were measured at fair value
as of the merger date.

•Real Estate & ENR costs of products sold increased

$114 million attributable to increased real estate and ENR
sales volume and higher basis of real estate sold, which is a
result of measuring acquired Plum Creek properties at fair
value as of the February 19, 2016 merger date.
•Wood Products costs of products sold increased

$201 million primarily attributable to increased sales volume
as explained above. This increase was partially offset by
lower log costs and lower manufacturing costs per unit.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $178 million — 28 percent —
primarily due to:

•an increase to company-wide gross margin of $292 million as

described above;

•a favorable shift in gain on foreign currency

remeasurement — $52 million; and

•a gain on the sale of our Federal Way headquarters

campus — $36 million.

These increases were partially offset by:

•a $131 million increase in charges for integration and

restructuring, closures and asset impairments, primarily
attributable to incurring $146 million of costs related to our
merger with Plum Creek in 2016 compared to $14 million in
2015; and

•a $76 million increase in selling, general and administrative

expenses primarily attributable to merging legacy
Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek operations.

Net Earnings Attributable to Weyerhaeuser Common
Shareholders

Our net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common
shareholders increased $543 million — 118 percent —
compared to 2015. Earnings from continuing operations before
income taxes increased $151 million — 43 percent — due to
variances in net sales, costs of products sold and operating
income explained above. The increase was offset by a
$147 million increase to income taxes from continuing
operations resulting from increased taxable earnings generated
by our TRSs.

Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, increased
$517 million — 544 percent — primarily due to:

•the after-tax gains recognized from divesting our Cellulose

Fibers business in 2016 — $546 million;

•a decrease in the equity loss from our printing papers joint
venture — $101 million — primarily attributable to an
$84 million noncash asset impairment recorded in fourth
quarter 2015; and

•lower costs of products sold, primarily due to lower sales
volumes and the cessation of depreciation when Cellulose
Fibers manufacturing assets were classified as held-for-sale
in second quarter 2016.

These increases were partially offset by:

•lower average sales realizations for pulp and liquid packaging

board;

•lower sales volume for pulp and liquid packaging board

attributable to a partial year of operations in 2016 compared
to a full year in 2015; and

•increased charges for restructuring, closures and asset

impairments and transaction-related costs related to our strategic
evaluation and divestiture of the Cellulose Fibers businesses.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Customers

Net sales to unaffiliated customers increased $137 million —
8 percent — primarily due to:

•a $50 million increase in Southern log sales attributable to

12 percent increase in delivered logs sales volumes, partially
offset by a 3 percent decrease in Southern log prices;

•a $50 million increase in Western log sales attributable to a
12 percent increase in Western log prices, partially offset by
a 6 percent decrease in delivered logs sales volumes;

•a $25 million increase in Other products, primarily
attributable to increased chips sales to unaffiliated
customers (prior to our 2016 divestitures of our Cellulose
Fibers businesses, chips sales were primarily intersegment
sales); and

•a $21 million increase in Other delivered logs, primarily due
to a 55 percent increase in delivered logs sales volumes.

These increases were partially offset by a $16 million decrease
in our Uruguayan operations, primarily attributable to the
divestiture that occurred during third quarter 2017. Refer to
Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intersegment Sales

Intersegment sales decreased $78 million — 9 percent — due
to a decrease in chip and log intersegment sales, which were
previously sold to our former Cellulose Fibers business
segment. The businesses within this segment were divested
during the second half of 2016. Refer to Note 3: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information on these
divestitures.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold decreased $11 million — 1 percent —
primarily due to:

•a $23 million decrease due to the divestiture of our

Uruguayan operations in third quarter 2017. Refer to Note 3:
Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

•a $16 million decrease in the West, attributable to a

decrease in delivered logs sales volumes.

These decreases were partially offset by a $19 million increase
in Canada primarily attributable to an increase in delivered logs
sales volumes.

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

Net contribution to earnings increased $33 million —
7 percent — primarily due to:

•a $99 million gain recorded in fourth quarter 2017 as a

result of the sale of land in our Southern timberlands region
to Twin Creeks (refer to Note 8: Related Parties in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details), and
•a $70 million increase in gross margin, as explained above.
These increases were partially offset by a $147 million
noncash impairment charge recognized in relation to the
divestiture of our Uruguayan operations. Refer to Note 17:
Charges for integration and restructuring, closures, and asset
impairments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further details of this impairment.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Compared to 2015, the changes to the results of operations for
our Timberlands segment during 2016 are primarily attributable
to the addition of approximately 6.3 million acres of Plum Creek
timberlands, which produced over 18 million tons of harvest
volume in 2015. The merger resulted in the expansion of our
Southern timberlands from 4.0 million acres to 7.4 million
acres — an 85 percent increase — and our Western
timberlands from 2.6 to 3.0 million acres — a 15 percent
increase. The merger also added 2.5 million acres across
Maine, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Vermont, West
Virginia and Wisconsin, which we refer to collectively as our
Northern timberlands. Increases to sales volume are primarily
attributable to the significant increases in the overall size of
and harvests from our timberlands holdings by region,
particularly in the South and North regions.

The composition of our sales volume by region was also altered
by the merger, as the South and North regions, which
historically had lower average sales realizations compared to
the West, comprise a greater portion of our overall sales
subsequent to the merger. Additionally, within the South the
acquired timberlands altered the overall sales mix, as lower
realization pulpwood sales increased and higher realization
grade logs decreased as a percentage of total sales volume,
resulting in lower average sales realizations overall for the
region in 2016 compared with 2015.

As a result of applying acquisition accounting to our Timber and
timberland assets acquired as described in Note 4: Merger with
Plum Creek in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
depletion rates increased significantly in 2016 compared to
2015. When combined with increased sales volume, these
higher depletion rates drove significant increases in our costs
of products sold in 2016 compared to 2015.

40

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Customers

REAL ESTATE, ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Net sales to unaffiliated customers increased $532 million —
42 percent — primarily due to:
•a $325 million increase in Southern log sales as a result of a
146 percent increase in delivered logs sales volume primarily
attributable to adding acquired Plum Creek operations, partially
offset by a 5 percent decrease in average sales realizations of
delivered logs due to mix of sawlogs and pulp logs;

•a $91 million increase in Northern log sales attributable

entirely to operations acquired upon our merger with Plum
Creek; and

•a $35 million increase in Western log sales as a result of a

6 percent increase in delivered logs sales volume attributable
to adding acquired Plum Creek operations, partially offset by
a 2 percent decrease in average sales realizations for
delivered logs;

•a $19 million increase in recreational and other lease

revenue due entirely to the acquired Plum Creek leases.

Intersegment Sales

Intersegment sales increased $10 million — 1 percent — due
to a $31 million increase in intersegment sales in the United
States. This increase is attributable to adding intersegment log
sales volume for the Montana operations acquired from Plum
Creek. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
average intersegment sales realizations.

The increase in the United States intersegment sales was
partially offset by a $21 million decrease in intersegment sales
in Canada. This decrease is attributable to lower log and chip
sales volume to our former Cellulose Fibers segment as a
result of divesting from our pulp mill in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
There was also a slight decrease in average intersegment sales
realizations compared to 2015.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $488 million — 31 percent —
primarily due to a 78 percent increase in sales volume
attributable to the operations acquired in our merger with Plum
Creek. Additionally, per unit costs increased due to higher
depletion rates in the South and West attributable to acquired
Plum Creek timberlands, which were measured at fair value as
of the merger date.

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

The timing of real estate sales is a function of many factors,
including:

•the general state of the economy,
•demand in local real estate markets,
•the ability to obtain entitlements,
•the ability of buyers to obtain financing,
•the number of competing properties listed for sale,
•the seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the northern

states),

•the plans of adjacent landowners,
•our expectations of future price appreciation,
•the timing of harvesting activities, and
•the availability of government and not-for-profit funding

(especially for conservation sales).

In any period, the average sales price per acre will vary based
on the location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Buyers

Net sales to unaffiliated buyers increased $54 million —
24 percent — primarily due to:
•a $36 million increase in Net real estate sales primarily
attributable to an 18 percent increase in volume of
timberlands acres sold.

•an $18 million increase in Net energy and natural resources
sales primarily attributable to the increased operations
acquired during our merger with Plum Creek. Our 2017
operations include a full twelve months of combined
operations as compared to ten months of combined
operations in 2016. The increase is further attributable to
increases in royalties.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold decreased $24 million — 18 percent —
primarily due to the mix of properties sold in 2017 compared to
2016.

Net Contribution to Earnings

Net contribution to earnings increased $91 million —
165 percent — primarily due to increased gross margin
discussed above. Additionally, our 2016 results include a
$15 million asset impairment charge recorded for development
projects. No comparable impairment charges were recorded
within this segment during 2017.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Land acquired as a result of our merger with Plum Creek
generally carried a higher per acre cost basis compared to our
other acreage as a result of measuring acquired land at fair
value via acquisition accounting as of the February 19, 2016,
merger date. As a result, our costs of timberlands varied
period-to-period based on the sales mix between acquired Plum
Creek acreage and acreage owned by Weyerhaeuser prior to the
merger.

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Buyers

Net sales to unaffiliated buyers increased $125 million —
124 percent — attributable to the following developments:
•Net real estate sales increased $97 million attributable to

increases in volume of timberlands acres sold. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in average price realized
per acre due to mix of properties sold.

•Net energy and natural resources sales increased

$28 million due primarily to increased sales volumes
attributable to the operations acquired with our merger with
Plum Creek.

42

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $114 million —
570 percent — due primarily to:

•increased real estate and ENR sales volume, as explained

above;

•higher basis of real estate sold resulting from measuring
acquired Plum Creek properties at fair value as of the
February 19, 2016, merger date; and

•an $11 million increase in commissions and closing costs

that corresponds with the increased volume of transactions.

Net Contribution to Earnings

Net contribution to earnings decreased $24 million —
30 percent — primarily attributable to increased general and
administrative expenses of $20 million. The increase in general
and administrative expenses is the result of creating a standalone
business segment separate from Timberlands and dedicating
more staff to the expanded land and natural resource footprint.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales

Net sales increased $640 million — 15 percent — primarily
due to:

•a $219 million increase in structural lumber sales,

attributable to a 13 percent increase in average sales
realizations, partially offset by a 1 percent decrease in sales
volumes;

•a $197 million increase in oriented strand board sales,
attributable to a 26 percent increase in average sales
realizations as well as a 1 percent increase in sales
volumes;

•a $75 million increase in other products produced, primarily
attributable to increased chip sales. Chips were previously
sold to our former Cellulose Fibers segment and were
therefore considered intersegment sales until the sale of our
Cellulose Fibers businesses which occurred in the second
half of 2016. Upon completion of these divestitures, chips
sold to those businesses were considered sales to
unaffiliated customers. (Refer to Note 3: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details
regarding these divestitures.);

•a $50 million increase in engineered solid section, primarily
attributable to an 8 percent increase in sales volumes as
well as a 3 percent increase in average sales realizations;
and

•a $46 million increase in engineered I-joists, primarily

attributable to a 13 percent increase in sales volume as well
as a 3 percent increase in average sales realizations.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $192 million — 5 percent —
primarily attributable to an overall increase in sales volumes,
as discussed above. This increase was offset by the mix of
products sold during 2017 compared to 2016.

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

Operating income and Net contribution to earnings increased
$57 million — 11 percent — primarily due to increased gross
margin, as discussed above. This was partially offset by:

•The $290 million addition of “Charges for product

remediation” in 2017, as there were no similar charges
during 2016 (refer to Note 18: Charges for Product
Remediation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information);

•A $68 million decrease in intersegment sales in 2017
compared to 2016, which is primarily attributable to
decreased intersegment chip sales. Prior to our divestitures

of our former Cellulose Fibers business, which occurred in
the second half of 2016, chips sold to these businesses
were considered intersegment sales. Upon completion of
these divestitures, chips sold to our former Cellulose Fibers
businesses were considered sales to unaffiliated customers.
•A $7 million increase in “Other operating costs, net,” related
to countervailing and anti-dumping duties. Refer to Softwood
Lumber Agreement for further information regarding these
regulations.

•A $6 million impairment on nonstrategic assets recognized
during third quarter 2017. Refer to Note 17: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset
Impairments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further detail.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Upon our merger with Plum Creek, we acquired five
manufacturing facilities in Montana. The sales and net
contribution to earnings of these facilities as of the merger date
are included in the results of our Wood Products segment. The
results of the plywood facilities are reported in softwood
plywood and the lumber facilities are reported in structural
lumber.

The Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) facility supplies high-
quality MDF to a wide range of customers throughout North
America. Some of the more common uses for our MDF include
furniture and cabinet components, architectural moldings,
doors, store fixtures, core material for hardwood plywood, face
material for softwood plywood, commercial wall paneling and
substrate for laminate flooring.

We permanently closed two of the five acquired Plum Creek
mills, the lumber facility and softwood plywood facility in
Columbia Falls, Montana, during third quarter 2016. The
closure of these facilities allows us to align the available log
supply with our manufacturing capacity, including adding shifts
at our Kalispell, Montana facilities, to position our Montana
operations for long-term success.

Refer to Note 4: Merger with Plum Creek in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
regarding our merger with Plum Creek.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $462 million — 12 percent — primarily
due to:
•a $158 million increase in medium density fiberboard sales
generated from operations acquired in our merger with Plum
Creek;

•a $112 million increase in oriented strand board sales,
attributable primarily to a 21 percent increase in average
sales realizations;

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

43

•a $98 million increase in lumber sales, attributable to a
3 percent increase in average sales realizations and a
3 percent increase in sales volume; and

•a $45 million increase in plywood sales, attributable to a
9 percent increase in average sales realizations and a
26 percent increase in sales volume, with the volume
increase due in part to acquired Plum Creek operations.

Costs of Products Sold

Costs of products sold increased $201 million — 6 percent —
primarily due to increased sales volume across most product
lines and from added volumes produced and sold by the
manufacturing operations acquired from our merger with Plum
Creek. This increase is partially offset by lower log costs and
lower manufacturing costs per unit.

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

Net contribution to earnings increased $254 million —
98 percent — primarily attributable to the changes in net sales
and costs of products sold, as explained above.

UNALLOCATED ITEMS

Unallocated Items are gains or charges from continuing
operations not related to or allocated to an individual operating
segment. They include a portion of items such as: share-based
compensation, pension and postretirement costs, foreign
exchange transaction gains and losses associated with
financing, and the elimination of intersegment profit in
inventory, equity earnings from our Timberland Venture and the
LIFO reserve. As a result of reclassifying our former Cellulose
Fibers segment as discontinued operations, Unallocated Items
also includes retained indirect corporate overhead costs
previously allocated to the former segment.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Our net interest expense incurred for the last three years was:

•$393 million in 2017,
•$431 million in 2016 and
•$341 million in 2015.
The primary factor driving the $38 million decrease in interest
expense in 2017 as compared to 2016 is the decrease in our
average indebtedness throughout the year.

INCOME TAXES

As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate
level income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to
shareholders. Historical distributions to shareholders, including
amounts and tax characteristics, for the years ended
December 31 are summarized in the table below.

The table below summarizes the items of tax preference for

We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of
our TRSs, which includes our Wood Products segment and
portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments’
earnings. Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by
earnings generated by our TRSs. Overall performance results
for our business segments can be found in Results of
Operations/Timberlands, Results of Operations/Real Estate,
Energy and Natural Resources, and Results of Operations/
Wood Products.

On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, commonly known as the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted. The Tax Act
contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including the
reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to
21 percent, increased deductions for capital spending and
limitations on interest expense deductions. The Tax Act does
not affect our REIT status or the provisions that allow us to pay
capital gain dividends to our shareholders.

As a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate, we have
revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities and have
recorded a tax expense of $74 million during 2017, which
reduced our net deferred tax asset.

For 2018, we expect our effective tax rate will be between
11 percent and 13 percent. The estimated range is based on
current assumptions with respect to our earnings and the Tax
Act. Our actual effective tax rate in 2018 may differ. The
reduced effective tax rate is expected to result in overall lower
tax expense beginning in 2018.

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes for our continuing
operations over the last three years was:
•$134 million in 2017,
•$89 million in 2016 and
•$(58) million in 2015.
During 2017, we recorded a $22 million tax benefit related to
the repatriation of Canadian earnings.

During 2016, we recorded a $24 million tax charge related to
the repatriation of Canadian earnings.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

45

During 2015, we recorded a $13 million tax benefit for the
expiration of the company’s built-in-gains tax period due to a
change in tax law in the fourth quarter 2015.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Net cash provided by our continuing and discontinued
operations decreased $340 million, primarily due to:

See also Note 20: Income Taxes in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which outlines the major components
related to our income tax provision.

•an increase in cash paid for income taxes of $471 million
largely due to taxes paid in connection with our Cellulose
Fibers businesses;

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital
structure that enables us to:

•protect the interests of our shareholders and lenders and
•have access to major financial markets.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

Consolidated net cash provided by our operations was:

•$1,201 million in 2017,
•$735 million in 2016 (includes continuing and discontinued

operations) and

•$1,075 million in 2015 (includes continuing and

discontinued operations).

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net cash provided by our operations increased $466 million,
primarily due to:

•increased cash flows from business segments of

$499 million;

•a decrease in cash paid for income taxes of $316 million,

which is primarily attributable to taxes paid in connection with
our divestitures of our former Cellulose Fibers businesses
during 2016; and

•a decrease in cash paid for interest of $65 million

corresponding with our decreased average indebtedness
during 2017 compared to 2016.

These items were partially offset by:

•decreased operating cash flows from discontinued operations

of $196 million; and

•an increase of $192 million in cash used for product

remediation efforts (refer to Note 18: Charges for Product
Remediation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).

Also see Performance Measures for our Adjusted EBITDA by
segment.

•decreased operating cash flows from discontinued operations

of $233 million;

•an increase in cash paid for interest of $99 million

corresponding with our increased average indebtedness; and

•cash payments made in 2016 related to the Plum Creek

merger of $154 million, comprised of:
– termination benefits — $33 million;
– investment banking and other professional services

fees — $52 million;

– settlement of Value Management Awards — $6 million;
– pension and postretirement benefits — $38 million; and
– other merger-related costs — $14 million.

Pension Contributions and Benefit Payments Made and
Expected

During 2017, we:

•contributed $25 million for our Canadian registered plan in
accordance with minimum funding rules and respective
provincial regulations;

•contributed to or made benefit payments for our Canadian

nonregistered pension plans of $2 million;

•made benefit payments of $31 million for our U.S.

nonqualified pension plans; and

•made benefit payments of $20 million for our U.S. and

Canadian other postretirement plans.

There was no minimum required contribution for our U.S.
qualified plan for 2017, nor were any contributions made to this
plan in 2017.

During 2018, based on estimated year-end assets and
projections of plan liabilities, we expect to:

•be required to contribute approximately $23 million for our

Canadian registered plan;

•be required to contribute or make benefit payments for our

Canadian nonregistered plans of $4 million;

•make benefit payments of $19 million for our U.S.

nonqualified pension plans; and

•make benefit payments of $19 million for our U.S. and

Canadian other postretirement plans.

We do not anticipate being required to make a contribution to
our U.S. qualified pension plan for 2018.

INVESTING IN OUR BUSINESS

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Cash from investing activities includes:

•acquisitions of property, equipment, timberlands and

reforestation;

•investments in or distribution from equity affiliates;
•proceeds from sale of assets and operations; and
•purchases and redemptions of short-term investments.
Consolidated net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
was:

•$367 million in 2017,
•$2,559 million in 2016 (includes continuing and

discontinued operations) and

•$(487) million in 2015 (includes continuing and discontinued

operations).

Net cash from investing activities changed $3.0 billion to an
inflow in 2016 as compared with an outflow in 2015, primarily
due to:

•net proceeds from the divestitures of our Cellulose Fibers

businesses in 2016 — $2.5 billion;

•proceeds received for our contribution of timberlands to the

Twin Creeks Venture in 2016 — $440 million;

•proceeds from sales of nonstrategic assets — $104 million;

and

•distributions received from joint ventures during 2016 —

$46 million.

Three-Year Summary of Capital Spending by Business
Segment

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net cash from investing activities decreased $2.2
billion primarily due to:

•a $2.1 billion decrease in net proceeds from the disposition
of discontinued and other operations, primarily attributable to
the proceeds received from the divestitures of our Cellulose
Fibers businesses in 2016 — $2.5 billion — compared to
the proceeds received for the divestiture of our Uruguayan
operations — $403 million (refer to Note 3: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details);
•a decrease of $440 million in proceeds received for our

contribution of timberlands to Twin Creeks Venture in 2016
(refer to Note 8: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further details); and

•a decrease of $78 million in proceeds from sales of

nonstrategic assets.

This activity was partially offset by:

•$311 million in combined proceeds from the sale of land in
our Southern timberlands region to Twin Creeks as well as
the redemption of our ownership interest in Twin Creeks,
both of which occurred during fourth quarter 2017 (refer to
Note 8: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further details);

•a $91 million decrease in capital expenditures primarily
attributable to the divestiture of our Cellulose Fibers
business in 2016.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

47

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $2,210 million
in 2017, primarily due to the following:

•a decrease of $2,003 million related to cash used to

repurchase common shares during 2016; and

•a decrease of $1,592 million in cash used for payments on

long-term debt.

This activity was partially offset by a $1,473 million decrease in
cash received from the issuance of new long-term debt.

COMPARING 2016 WITH 2015

Net cash used in financing activities increased $2,474 million
in 2016, primarily due to:

•a $1,485 million increase in repurchase shares;
•payment of $720 million of the debt assumed in our merger

with Plum Creek on the merger date; and

•a $313 million increase in dividends paid to common

shareholders.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Our consolidated long-term debt (including current portion) was:

•$6.0 billion as of December 31, 2017,
•$6.6 billion as of December 31, 2016, and
•$4.8 billion as of December 31, 2015.
The decrease in our long-term debt during 2017 is attributable to the
following activity:

•We prepaid a $550 million variable-rate term loan during July
2017, which was originally set to mature in 2020 (2020 term
loan). The 2020 term loan was prepaid using available cash
of $325 million as well as borrowing proceeds from a new
$225 million variable-rate term loan set to mature in 2026.

•We paid our $281 million 6.95 percent debenture during

August 2017.

The increase in our long-term debt during 2016 is attributable
to the following activity:

•We assumed $3.4 billion of long-term debt during our merger
with Plum Creek. Immediately following the merger, we paid
$720 million of the debt assumed. (Refer to Note 4: Merger
with Plum Creek in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information about our merger).
•As part of our Cellulose Fibers Pulp business divestiture,

$88 million of long-term debt was assumed by International
Paper. (Refer to Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Other
Divestitures in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information about our Cellulose Fibers
divestitures).

48

We have $62 million of long-term debt scheduled to mature
during first quarter 2018.

See Note 12: Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information about the long-term
debt discussed above.

Refer to Note 8: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information regarding the nonrecourse
debt held by our Variable Interest Entities (VIEs).

2016 TERM LOAN PAYMENT AND EXTINGUISHMENT

During February 2016, and subsequent to completion of the
Plum Creek merger, we entered into a $600 million 18-month
senior unsecured term loan maturing in August 2017.
Borrowings were at LIBOR plus 1.05 percent. The $600 million
outstanding under this facility was repaid in full and terminated
during fourth quarter 2016.

During March 2016, we entered into a $1.9 billion 18-month
senior unsecured term loan maturing in September 2017.
Borrowings were at LIBOR plus 1.05 percent. The remaining
$1.1 billion outstanding under this facility was repaid in full and
terminated during fourth quarter 2016.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

During March 2017, we entered into a new $1.5 billion five-year
senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in March
2022. This replaced a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving
credit facility that was set to expire September 2018. The
entire amount is available to Weyerhaeuser Company.
Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates
mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending
banks. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016,
there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and we
were in compliance with the credit facility covenants.

Debt covenants:

As of December 31, 2017, Weyerhaeuser Company:

•had no borrowings outstanding under our credit facility and
•was in compliance with the credit facility covenants.

Weyerhaeuser Company Covenants:

Key covenants related to Weyerhaeuser Company include the
requirement to maintain:

•a minimum total adjusted shareholders’ equity of

$3.0 billion; and

•a defined funded debt ratio of 65 percent or less.

Weyerhaeuser Company’s total adjusted shareholders’ equity is
comprised of:

•total Weyerhaeuser shareholders’ equity,
•excluding accumulated comprehensive income (loss),
•minus Weyerhaeuser Company’s investment in our

unrestricted subsidiaries.

Total Weyerhaeuser Company capitalization is comprised of:

•total Weyerhaeuser Company debt
•plus total adjusted shareholders’ equity.
As of December 31, 2017, Weyerhaeuser Company had:

•a defined total adjusted shareholders’ equity of $10.4 billion

and

•a defined debt-to-total-capital ratio of 36.65 percent.
Debt agreements that were assumed by Weyerhaeuser in the
merger with Plum Creek were amended to materially conform
key covenants with the covenants described above.

When calculating compliance in accordance with financial debt
covenants as of December 31, 2016, we excluded the impact
of our pension and other postretirement plans recorded within
cumulative other comprehensive income from adjusted
shareholders’ interest (equity). The excluded amount at
December 31, 2016, was $1,698 million, which is equal to the
cumulative actuarial losses and prior service costs for our
pension and postretirement plans. When calculating
compliance in accordance with financial debt covenants as of
December 31, 2017, we excluded the full amount of cumulative
other comprehensive loss of $1,562 million. See Note 15:
Shareholders’ Interest in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

There are no other significant financial debt covenants related
to our third-party debt. See Note 11: Lines of Credit in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information.

CREDIT RATINGS

Upon completion of our merger with Plum Creek on
February 19, 2016, S&P changed our long-term issuer credit
ratings from BBB to BBB-. However, on May 9, 2017, S&P
upgraded our long-term issuer credit ratings from BBB- back to
BBB.

On April 14, 2015, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded our
long-term issuer credit ratings from Baa3 to Baa2. There was
no change to our Moody’s rating as a result of completing the
merger with Plum Creek.

OPTION EXERCISES

Our cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were:

•$128 million in 2017,
•$61 million in 2016 and
•$34 million in 2015.
Our average stock price was $33.61, $30.01 and $31.67 in
2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

DIVIDENDS

We paid cash dividends on common shares of:

•$941 million in 2017,
•$932 million in 2016 and
•$619 million in 2015.
Changes in the amount of dividends we paid were primarily due
to:

•an increase in our quarterly dividend from 31 cents per share

to 32 cents per share in November 2017;

•an increase in our quarterly dividend from 29 cents per share

to 31 cents per share in August 2015; and

•an increase in the number of common shares outstanding

during 2016, which was primarily attributable to the
278,886,704 shares issued as consideration in our merger
with Plum Creek on February 19, 2016, offset by our
subsequent repurchase of 67,816,810 shares between
March 2016 and July 2016.

We paid cash dividends on preference shares of $22 million in
2016 and $44 million in 2015. As all preference shares were
converted to common shares on July 1, 2016, we did not pay
any cash dividends on preference shares during 2017. See
Note 15: Shareholders’ Interest in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information.

Our dividends declared on preference shares were 79.69 cents
per share in:

•February and May 2016; and
•February, May, August and October 2015.
On February 9, 2018, our board of directors declared a dividend
of 32 cents per share, payable on March 23, 2018, to
shareholders of record at the close of business March 2, 2018.

STOCK REPURCHASES

On August 13, 2014, our board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program under which we were authorized to
repurchase up to $700 million of outstanding shares (the 2014
Repurchase Program). The 2014 Repurchase Program replaced
the prior 2011 stock repurchase program. During 2014, we

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

49

repurchased 6,062,993 shares of common stock for
$203 million under the 2014 Repurchase Program. During
2015 we completed the 2014 Repurchase Program by
repurchasing 15,471,962 shares of common stock for
$497 million. All common stock purchases under the stock
repurchase program were made in open-market transactions.

On August 27, 2015, our board of directors approved a new
share repurchase program of up to $500 million of outstanding
shares (the 2015 Repurchase Program), commencing upon
completion of the 2014 Repurchase Program. During 2015, we
repurchased 717,464 shares of common stock for $22 million
under the 2015 Repurchase Program. As of December 31,
2015, we had remaining authorization of $478 million for future
stock repurchases. All common stock purchases under the
stock repurchase program were made in open-market
transactions.

The 2016 Share Repurchase Authorization was approved in
November 2015 by our Board of Directors and authorized
management to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of outstanding
shares subsequent to the closing of our merger with Plum
Creek (the 2016 Repurchase Program). This new authorization
replaced the August 2015 share repurchase authorization.
During 2016, we repurchased 67,816,810 shares of common
stock for $2 billion under the 2016 Repurchase Program. We
did not repurchase any shares of common stock during 2017.
As of December 31, 2017, we had remaining authorization of
$500 million for future stock repurchases. All common stock
purchases under the stock repurchase program were made in
open-market transactions. We had 755,223 thousand shares
of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

(1) Does not include nonrecourse debt held by our Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). See

Note 8: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on our VIEs and the related nonrecourse debt.

(2) Amounts presented for interest payments assume that all long-term debt obligations
outstanding as of December 31, 2017, will remain outstanding until maturity, and
interest rates on variable-rate debt in effect as of December 31, 2017, will remain in
effect until maturity.

(3) Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are

enforceable and legally binding on the company and that specify all significant terms,
including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price
provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude
arrangements that the company can cancel without penalty.

(4) The timing of certain of these payments will be triggered by retirements or other events.

These payments can include workers’ compensation, deferred compensation and banked
vacation, among other obligations. When the timing of payment is uncertain, the
amounts are included in the total column only. Minimum pension funding is required by
established funding standards and estimates are not made beyond 2018. Estimated
payments of contractually obligated postretirement benefits are not included due to the
uncertainty of payment timing.

(5) We have recognized total liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits of $4 million as

of December 31, 2017. The timing of payments related to these obligations is uncertain;
however, none of this amount is expected to be paid within the next year.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Off-balance sheet arrangements have not had — and are not
reasonably likely to have — a material effect on our current or
future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain our
disclosures of:

•surety bonds,
•letters of credit and guarantees and
•information regarding variable interest entities.

PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the preparation of our financial statements we follow
established accounting policies and make estimates that affect
both the amounts and timing of the recording of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates
require judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Accounting policies whose application may have a significant
effect on the reported results of operations and financial
position are considered critical accounting policies.

In accounting, we base our judgments and estimates on:

•historical experience and
•assumptions we believe are appropriate and reasonable

under current circumstances.

Actual results, however, may differ from the estimated amounts
we have recorded.

Our most critical accounting policies relate to our:

•pension and postretirement benefit plans;
•potential impairments of long-lived assets;
•legal, environmental and product liability reserves;
•timber depletion; and
•business combinations.
Details about our other significant accounting policies — what
we use and how we estimate — are in Note 1: Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor several pension and postretirement benefit plans
for our employees. Key assumptions we use in accounting for
the plans include our:

•expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and
•discount rates.
At the end of every year, we review our assumptions with
external advisers and make adjustments as appropriate. We
use these assumptions to calculate liability information as of
yearend and pension and post retirement expense for the
following year. Actual experience that differs from our

assumptions or any changes in our assumptions could have a
significant effect on our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.

Other factors that affect our accounting for the plans include:

•actual pension fund performance,
•level of lump sum distributions,
•plan changes and amendments,
•portfolio changes and restructuring,
•anticipated trends in health care costs,
•assumed increases in salaries and
•mortality rates.
This section provides more information about our:

•expected long-term rate of return and
•discount rates.

Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets

Plan assets are assets of the pension plan trusts that fund the
benefits provided under the pension plans. The expected long-
term rate of return is our estimate of the long-term rate of
return that our plan assets will earn. Our expected long-term
rate of return is important in determining the net periodic
benefit or cost we recognize for our plans.

Over the 33 years it has been in place, our U.S. pension trust
investment strategy has achieved a 13.7 percent net
compound annual return rate.

After considering available information at the end of 2016, we
determined that it was appropriate to reduce our assumption of
long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining net
periodic benefit cost from 9.0 percent for the year ended
December 31, 2016, to 8.0 percent for the year ended
December 31, 2017. Based on the information available at the
end of 2017, we determined that it is appropriate to continue
to use the 8.0 percent return on plan assets assumption during
2018.

Factors we considered include:

•the net compounded annual return of over 8 percent

achieved by our U.S. pension trust investment strategy the
past 5 years and

•current and expected valuation levels in the global equity and

credit markets.

Our expected long-term rate of return is important in
determining the net periodic benefit or cost we recognize for our
plans. Every 50 basis point decrease in our expected long-term
rate of return would increase expense or reduce a credit by
approximately:

•$22 million for our U.S. qualified pension plans and
•$5 million for our Canadian registered pension plans.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

51

The actual return on plan assets in any given year may vary
from our expected long-term rate of return. Actual returns on
plan assets affect the funded status of the plans. Differences
between actual returns on plan assets and the expected long-
term rate of return are reflected as adjustments to cumulative
other comprehensive income (loss), a component of total
equity.

Discount Rates

Our discount rates as of December 31, 2017, are:
•3.7 percent for our U.S. pension plans — compared with

4.3 percent at December 31, 2016;

•3.5 percent for our U.S. postretirement plans — compared

with 3.7 percent at December 31, 2016;

•3.5 percent for our Canadian pension plans — compared

with 3.7 percent at December 31, 2016; and

•3.4 percent for our Canadian postretirement plans —
compared with 3.6 percent at December 31, 2016.

We review our discount rates annually and revise them as
needed. The discount rates are selected at the measurement
date by matching current spot rates of high-quality corporate
bonds with maturities similar to the timing of expected cash
outflows for benefits.

Pension and postretirement benefit expenses for 2018 will be
based on the 3.7 percent and 3.5 percent assumed discount
rates for U.S. plans and 3.5 percent and 3.4 percent assumed
discount rates for the Canadian plans.

Our discount rates are important in determining the cost of our
plans. A 50 basis point decrease in our discount rate would
increase expense or reduce a credit by approximately:
•$34 million for our U.S. qualified pension plans and
•$4 million for our Canadian registered pension plans.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the assets may not be recoverable through future
operations. The carrying value is the amount assigned to long-
lived assets in our financial statements.

An impairment occurs when the carrying value of long-lived
assets will not be recovered from future cash flows and is more
than fair market value. Fair market value is the estimated
amount we would receive if we were to sell the assets.

In determining fair market value and whether impairment has
occurred, we are required to estimate:
•future cash flows,
•residual values and
•fair values of the assets.
52

Key assumptions we use in developing the estimates include:

•probability of alternative outcomes,
•product pricing,
•raw material costs,
•product sales and
•discount rate.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

We are subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims
related to environmental, product and other matters, and are
required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or
outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of
probable losses.

We record contingent liabilities when:

•it becomes probable that we will have to make payments and
•the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Assessing probability of loss and estimating probable losses
requires analysis of multiple factors, including:

•historical experience,
•evaluations of relevant legal and environmental regulations,
•judgments about the potential actions of third party claimants

and courts, and

•consideration of potential environmental remediation

methods.

In addition to contingent liabilities recorded for probable losses,
we disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable
possibility that an ultimate loss may occur.

While we do our best in developing our projections, recorded
contingent liabilities are based on the best information
available and actual losses in any future period are inherently
uncertain. If estimated probable future losses or actual losses
exceed our recorded liability for such claims, we would record
additional charges. These exposures and proceedings can be
significant and the ultimate negative outcomes could be
material to our operating results or cash flow in any given
quarter or year. See Note 14: Legal Proceedings, Commitments
and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.

TIMBER DEPLETION

We record depletion, the costs attributed to timber harvested,
as trees are harvested.

To calculate our depletion rates, which are updated annually,
we:

•take the total carrying cost of the timber and
•divide by the total timber volume estimated to be harvested

during the harvest cycle.

Estimating the volume of timber available for harvest over the
harvest cycle requires consideration of the following factors:
•effects of fertilizer and pesticide applications,
•changes in environmental regulations and other regulatory

restrictions,

•limits on harvesting certain timberlands,
•changes in harvest plans,
•scientific advancement in seedling and growing technology;

and

•changes in weather patterns.
In addition, the duration of the harvest cycle varies by
geographic region and species of timber.

Depletion rate calculations do not include estimates for:
•future silviculture or sustainable forest management costs

associated with existing stands,

•future reforestation costs associated with a stand’s final

harvest; and

•future volume in connection with the replanting of a stand

subsequent to its final harvest.

A 5 percent decrease in our estimate of future harvest volumes
would have:
•increased depletion expense by $12 million for 2017 and
•increased depletion expense by $13 million for 2016.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We recognize identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at their acquisition date fair value. Goodwill, if any, as
of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of
consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date
fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
While we use our best estimates and assumptions for the
purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are
inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result,
during the measurement period, which may be up to one year
from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset
to any goodwill previously recorded (or to earnings in the event
that no goodwill was previously recorded) to the extent that we
identify adjustments to the preliminary purchase price
allocation. Beginning January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU
2015-16, which eliminates the requirements to retrospectively
apply measurement period adjustments to the preliminary
purchase price allocation and revise comparative information on
the income statement and balance sheet for any prior periods
affected. We will recognize measurement period adjustments
and any resulting effect on earnings during the period in which
the adjustment is identified. Upon the conclusion of the
measurement period or final determination of the values of

assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first,
any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated
statement of operations.

PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A summary of prospective accounting pronouncements is in
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

We use Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation,
Depletion and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as a key
performance measure to evaluate the performance of the
consolidated company and our business segments. This
measure should not be considered in isolation from and is not
intended to represent an alternative to our results reported in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides
meaningful supplemental information for our investors about
our operating performance, better facilitates period to period
comparisons, and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating
agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of
Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures
reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it,
is operating income from continuing operations adjusted for
depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold,
pension and postretirement costs not allocated to business
segments (primarily interest cost, expected return on plan
assets, amortization of actuarial loss and amortization of prior
service cost/credit), and special items. Adjusted EBITDA
excludes results from joint ventures.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Weyerhaeuser Company:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weyerhaeuser Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively, the
consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, and our report dated February 16, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies describe:
•our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust,
•how we report our results,
•changes in how we report our results and
•how we account for various items.

OUR ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REAL ESTATE
INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT)

Starting with our 2010 fiscal year, we elected to be taxed as a
REIT. REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without
first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the
double taxation on income. We expect to derive most of our
REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the
sale of standing timber through pay-as-cut sales contracts and
lump sum timber deeds.

We were no longer subject to the REIT built-in gains tax as of
December 31, 2014. Our built-in gains tax period expired in
2015 due to a change in U.S. tax law that statutorily shortened
the built-in gains tax period to 5 years from 10 years. This
means we are no longer subject to federal corporate level
income taxes on sales of REIT property that had a fair market
value in excess of tax basis when we converted to a REIT on
January 1, 2010. We continue to be required to pay federal
corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT
Subsidiary (TRS), which includes our Wood Products segment
and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate, Energy and
Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) segments.

HOW WE REPORT OUR RESULTS

Our report includes:
•consolidated financial statements,
•our business segments,
•foreign currency translation,
•estimates, and
•fair value measurements.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of
our results and financial condition. They include our accounts
and the accounts of entities that we control, including:
•majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries and
•variable interest entities in which we are the primary

beneficiary.

64

They do not include our intercompany transactions and
accounts, which are eliminated, and noncontrolling interests
are presented as a separate component of equity.

We account for investments in and advances to unconsolidated
equity affiliates using the equity method. We record our share
of equity in net earnings of equity affiliates within “Equity
earnings from joint ventures” in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations in the period in which the earnings are recorded by
our equity affiliates.

Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “the
company,” “we” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Reportable business segments are determined based on the
company’s “management approach,” as defined by Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 280, “Segment
Reporting.” The management approach is based on the way the
chief operating decision maker organizes the segments within a
company for making decisions about resources to be allocated
and assessing their performance.

During fiscal year 2016, the company’s chief operating decision
maker changed the information regularly reviewed when making
decisions to allocate resources and assess performance. Since
this change, the company reports its financial performance
based on three business segments: Timberlands, Real
Estate & ENR, and Wood Products. Prior to revising our
segment structure, activities related to the Real Estate & ENR
business segment were reported as part of the Timberlands
business segment.

Amounts for all periods presented have been reclassified
throughout the consolidated financial statements and
disclosures to conform to the new segment structure.

We are principally engaged in:

•growing and harvesting timber;
•manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from

trees;

•maximizing the value of every acre we own through the sale

of higher and better use (HBU) properties; and

•monetizing reserves of minerals, oil, gas, coal, and other

natural resources on our timberlands.

Our business segments are organized based primarily on
products and services.

Our Business Segments and Products

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

SEGMENT

Timberlands

Real Estate & ENR

Wood Products

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Logs, timber, and leased recreational access

Sales of timberlands; rights to explore for and
extract hard minerals, construction materials, oil
and gas production, wind and coal; and equity
interests in our Real Estate Development
Ventures

Softwood lumber, engineered wood products,
structural panels, medium density fiberboard and
building materials distribution

We also transfer raw materials, semi-finished materials and
end products among our business segments. Because of this
intracompany activity, accounting for our business segments
involves:

•pricing products transferred between our business segments

at current market values and

•allocating joint conversion and common facility costs

according to usage by our business segment product lines.

Gains or charges not related to or allocated to an individual
operating segment are held in Unallocated Items. This includes
a portion of items such as: share-based compensation; pension
and postretirement costs; foreign exchange transaction gains
and losses associated with financing; the elimination of
intersegment profit in inventory and the LIFO reserve.

We use a fair value hierarchy in accounting for certain
nonfinancial assets and liabilities including:

•long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at fair value for an

impairment assessment;

•reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a

goodwill impairment test;

•nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at

fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment
assessment;

•assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business

acquisition; and

•asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value.
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation
techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either
observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect
assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset
or liability based on market data obtained from independent
sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s
pricing based upon its own market assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for

identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 — Inputs are:

– quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

market;

Local currencies are the functional currencies for most of our
operations outside the U.S. We translate foreign currencies into
U.S. dollars in two ways:

•assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates in effect as of

our balance sheet date; and

•revenues and expenses — at average monthly exchange

rates throughout the year.

– quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in

markets that are not active; or

– inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and
market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in
which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are
unobservable.

ESTIMATES

We prepare our financial statements according to U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). This requires us to
make estimates and assumptions during our reporting periods
and at the date of our financial statements. The estimates and
assumptions affect our:

•reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity;
•disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities; and
•reported amounts of revenues and expenses.
While we do our best in preparing these estimates, actual
results can and do differ from those estimates and
assumptions.

CHANGES IN HOW WE REPORT OUR RESULTS

Changes in how we report our results come from:

•reclassification of certain balances and results from prior

years to make them consistent with our current reporting and

•accounting changes made upon our adoption of new

accounting guidance

RECLASSIFICATIONS

We have reclassified certain balances and results from the
prior year to be consistent with our 2017 reporting. This makes
year-to-year comparisons easier. Our reclassifications had no
effect on consolidated net earnings or equity. Our
reclassifications present the adoption of new accounting

pronouncements on our Consolidated Statement of Operations
and in the related footnotes. Refer to discussion of new
accounting pronouncements below.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2014-09, a comprehensive new revenue recognition
model that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that
reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for
those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued
ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date for an
additional year. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-08,
which does not change the core principle of the guidance;
however, it does clarify the implementation guidance on
principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016,
FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies two aspects of
ASU 2014-09: identifying performance obligations and the
licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, FASB issued
ASU 2016-12, which amends ASU 2014-09 to provide
improvements and practical expedients to the new revenue
recognition model. In December 2016, the FASB issued
ASU 2016-20, which amends ASU 2014-09 for technical
corrections and to correct for unintended application of the
guidance. In February 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-05, which
clarifies the scope of ASC 610-20 and impacts accounting for
partial sales of nonfinancial assets.

We have adopted and implemented the new revenue
recognition guidance effective January 1, 2018. The new
standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior
reporting period presented (full retrospective transition method)
or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying
it recognized at the date of initial application (cumulative effect
method). We have adopted using the cumulative effect method.
The adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance will not
materially impact our Consolidated Statement of Operations,
Consolidated Balance Sheet, or Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows. We plan to add expanded disclosures, beginning in
first quarter 2018.

Inventory Valuation Methods

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which simplifies the
measurement of inventories valued under most methods,
including our inventories valued under FIFO — the first-in,
first-out — and moving average cost methods. Inventories
valued under LIFO — the last-in, first-out method — are
excluded. Under this new guidance, inventories valued under
these methods would be valued at the lower of cost or net
realizable value, with net realizable value defined as the

66

estimated selling price less reasonable costs to sell the
inventory. The new guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal
periods starting after December 15, 2016, and early adoption
is permitted. We adopted on January 1, 2017, and determined
this pronouncement does not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Lease Recognition

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires
lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and
obligations created by those leases and requires both capital
and operating leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.
The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We
expect to adopt on January 1, 2019. We are still evaluating
certain aspects of the revised guidance and subsequent
revisions either made or being contemplated by the FASB,
including application of the available practical expedients. We
expect adoption to result in the recognition of the present value
of the future commitments on operating leases disclosed in
Note 14: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies
on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Intra-Entity Transfers (other than inventory)

In October 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which requires
immediate recognition of the income tax consequences upon
intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The new
guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We
adopted this accounting standard update on January 1, 2017.
As a result of this adoption, our opening balance sheet was
adjusted through “Retained Earnings” by $19 million for prior
period intra-entity transfers. Adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows or Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefit (Costs)/Credits

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-07, which requires that
an employer report the service cost component of pension and
other postretirement benefit costs in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations in the same line item or items as
other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the
pertinent employees. This requirement is consistent with how
we have historically presented our pension service costs. The
other requirement of ASU 2017-07 is to present the remaining
components of pension and other postretirement benefit costs
(i.e., interest, expected return on plan assets, amortization of
actuarial gains or losses, and amortization of prior service
credits or costs) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
separately from the service cost component and outside a
subtotal of income from operations. The new guidance is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,

2017, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this
accounting standard as of January 1, 2017. As a result, we
reclassified amounts related to other components of pension
and other postretirement benefit costs from their prior financial
statements captions (“Costs of products sold,” “General and
administrative expenses,” and “Other operating costs (income),
net”) into a new financial statement caption titled
“Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit
(costs) credits” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not impact “Net earnings,”
nor did it impact our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which allows for
the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act between “Accumulated other
comprehensive income” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU
relates to the requirement that adjustments to deferred tax
liabilities and assets related to a change in tax laws or rates to
be included in “Income from continuing operations”, even in
situations where the related items were originally recognized in
“Other comprehensive income” (rather than in “Income from
continuing operations”). The amendments in this ASU are
effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is to
be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to
each period in which the effect of the change in the tax laws or
rates were recognized. We are still evaluating certain aspects of
this ASU as well as the related impacts it may have on our
financial statements.

HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR VARIOUS ITEMS

This section provides information about how we account for
certain key items related to:
•capital investments,
•financing our business and
•operations.

ITEMS RELATED TO CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

Key items related to accounting for capital investments pertain
to property and equipment, timber and timberlands, impairment
of long-lived assets and goodwill.

Property and Equipment

We maintain property accounts on an individual asset basis.
Here is how we handle major items:
•Improvements to and replacements of major units of property

are capitalized.

•Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed.
•Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method at

rates based on estimated service lives.

•We capitalize costs associated with logging roads that we
intend to utilize for a period longer than one year. These
roads are then amortized over an estimated service life.
•Cost and accumulated depreciation of property sold or retired

are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is
included in earnings.

Timber and Timberlands

We carry timber and timberlands at cost less depletion.
Depletion refers to the carrying value of timber that is
harvested, lost as a result of casualty, or sold.

Key activities affecting how we account for timber and
timberlands include:

•reforestation,
•depletion and
•forest management in Canada.
Reforestation. Generally, we capitalize initial site preparation
and planting costs as reforestation. Generally, we expense
costs after the first planting as they are incurred or over the
period of expected benefit. These costs include:

•fertilization,
•vegetation and insect control,
•pruning and precommercial thinning,
•property taxes, and
•interest.
Accounting practices for these costs do not change when
timber becomes merchantable and harvesting starts.

Timber depletion. To determine depletion rates, we divide the
net carrying value of timber by the related volume of timber
estimated to be available over the growth cycle. To determine
the growth cycle volume of timber, we consider:

•regulatory and environmental constraints,
•our management strategies,
•inventory data improvements,
•growth rate revisions and recalibrations and
•known dispositions and inoperable acres.
We include the cost of timber harvested in the carrying values
of raw materials and product inventories. As these inventories
are sold to third parties, we include them in the cost of
products sold.

Forest Management in Canada. We manage timberlands under
long-term licenses in various Canadian provinces that are:

•granted by the provincial governments;
•granted for initial periods of 15 to 25 years; and

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

67

•renewable provided we meet reforestation, operating and

management guidelines.

Calculation of the fees we pay on the timber we harvest:

•varies from province to province,
•is tied to product market pricing and
•depends upon the allocation of land management

responsibilities in the license.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets — including certain identifiable
intangibles — for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets
may not be recoverable. Impaired assets held for use are
written down to fair value. Impaired assets held for sale are
written down to fair value less cost to sell. We determine fair
value based on:

•appraisals,
•market pricing of comparable assets,
•discounted value of estimated cash flows from the asset and
•replacement values of comparable assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the purchase price minus the fair value of net
assets acquired when we buy another entity. We assess
goodwill for impairment:

•using a fair-value-based approach and
•at least annually — at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
In 2017, the fair value of the reporting unit with goodwill
substantially exceeded its carrying value.

ITEMS RELATED TO FINANCING OUR BUSINESS

Key items related to financing our business include financial
instruments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and
concentration of risk.

Financial Instruments

We estimate the fair value of financial instruments where
appropriate. The assumptions we use — including the discount
rate and estimates of cash flows — can significantly affect our
fair-value amounts. Our fair values are estimates and may not
match the amounts we would realize upon sale or settlement of
our financial positions.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are investments with original maturities of
90 days or less. We state cash equivalents at cost, which
approximates market.

68

Accounts Payable

Our banking system replenishes our major bank accounts daily
as checks we have issued are presented for payment. As a
result, we may have negative book cash balances due to
outstanding checks that have not yet been paid by the bank.
These negative balances would be included in “Accounts
payable” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in these
negative cash balances would be reported as financing
activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We had
no negative book cash balances as of December 31, 2017,
and December 31, 2016.

Concentration of Risk

We disclose customers that represent a concentration of
risk. As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, no
customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our net sales.

ITEMS RELATED TO OPERATIONS

Key items related to operations include revenue recognition,
inventories, shipping and handling costs, income taxes, share-
based compensation, pension and other postretirement plans,
and environmental remediation.

Revenue Recognition

Operations recognizes revenue when title and the risk of loss
transfers to the customer, in general this is upon shipment to
customers. For certain export sales, revenue is recognized
when title transfers at the foreign port.

For timberland sales, we recognize revenue when title and
possession have been transferred to the buyer and all other
criteria for sale and profit recognition have been satisfied.

Inventories

We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Cost includes labor, materials and production overhead.
LIFO — the last-in, first-out method — applies to major
inventory products held at our U.S. domestic locations. We
began to use the LIFO method for domestic products in the
1940s as required to conform with the tax method elected.
Subsequent acquisitions of entities added new products under
the FIFO — the first-in, first-out method — or moving average
cost methods that have continued under those methods. The
FIFO or moving average cost methods applies to the balance of
our domestic raw material and product inventories as well as
for all material and supply inventories and all foreign
inventories.

Shipping and Handling Costs

We classify shipping and handling costs in “Costs of products
sold” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future
funding obligations to taxing authorities if uncertain tax
positions the company has taken on previously filed tax returns
are not sustained. In accordance with the company’s
accounting policy, accrued interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as a component of
income tax expense.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect:

•future tax consequences due to differences between the

carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the tax
bases of certain items and

•operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
To measure deferred tax assets and liabilities, we:

•determine when the differences between the carrying

amounts and tax bases of affected items are expected to be
recovered or resolved and

•use enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in

those years.

Share-Based Compensation

We generally measure the fair value of share-based awards on
the dates they are granted or modified. These measurements
establish the cost of the share-based awards for accounting
purposes. We then recognize the cost of share-based awards in
our Consolidated Statement of Operations over each
employee’s required service period. Note 16: Share-Based
Compensation provides more information about our share-
based compensation.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our
defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognize changes in the
funded status through comprehensive income (loss) in the year
in which the changes occur.

Actuarial valuations determine the amount of the pension and
other postretirement benefit obligations and the net periodic
benefit cost we recognize. The net periodic benefit cost
includes:

•cost of benefits provided in exchange for employees’ services

rendered during the year;

•interest cost of the obligations;
•expected long-term return on plan assets;
•gains or losses on plan settlements and curtailments;
•amortization of prior service costs and plan amendments
over the average remaining service period of the active

employee group covered by the plans or the average
remaining life expectancy in situations where the plan
participants affected by the plan amendment are inactive; and

•amortization of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial gains
and losses — generally in excess of 10 percent of the
greater of the benefit obligation or market-related value of
plan assets at the beginning of the year — over the average
remaining service period of the active employee group
covered by the plans or the average remaining life expectancy
in situations where the plan participants are inactive.

Pension plans. We have pension plans covering most of our
employees. Determination of benefits differs for salaried, hourly
and union employees:

•Salaried employee benefits are based on each employee’s
highest monthly earnings for five consecutive years during
the final 10 years before retirement.

•Hourly and union employee benefits generally are stated

amounts for each year of service.

•Union employee benefits are set through collective-bargaining

agreements.

We contribute to our U.S. and Canadian pension plans
according to established funding standards. The funding
standards for the plans are:

•U.S. pension plans — according to the Employee Retirement

Income Security Act of 1974; and

•Canadian pension plans — according to the applicable

provincial pension act and the Income Tax Act.

Postretirement benefits other than pensions. We provide
certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits
for some retired employees. In some cases, we pay a portion of
the cost of the benefit. Note 9: Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans provides additional information
about changes made in our postretirement benefit plans during
2017 and 2016.

Environmental Remediation

We accrue losses associated with environmental remediation
obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably
estimable. Future expenditures for environmental remediation
obligations are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries
of environmental remediation costs from other parties are
recorded as assets when the recovery is deemed probable and
does not exceed the amount of losses previously recorded.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our business segments and how we account for those
segments are discussed in Note 1: Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies. This note provides key financial data by
business segment.

NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER
DIVESTITURES
OPERATIONS DIVESTED

On October 12, 2016, we announced the exploration of
strategic alternatives for our Uruguay timberlands and
manufacturing operations, which was part of our Timberlands
business segment. On June 2, 2017, the Weyerhaeuser Board
of Directors approved an equity purchase agreement with a
consortium led by BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment Group

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

71

(TIG), including other long-term investors, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to sell, in exchange for $403 million in cash,
all of its equity interest in the subsidiaries that collectively
owned and operated its Uruguayan timberlands and
manufacturing operations.

On September 1, 2017, we completed the sale of our Uruguay
timberlands and manufacturing operations for $403 million of
cash proceeds. Due to the impairment of our Uruguayan
operations recorded during second quarter 2017 (refer to
Note 17: Charges for Integration and Restructuring, Closures
and Asset Impairments), no material gain or loss was recorded
as a result of this sale. As of December 31, 2017, no assets
or liabilities related to Uruguayan operations remain on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The sale of our Uruguayan operations was not considered a
strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our
operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the
requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During 2016, we entered into three separate transactions to sell
our Cellulose Fibers business. As a result of these transactions,
the company recognized a pretax gain on disposition of
$789 million and total cash proceeds of $2.5 billion in the
second half of 2016. These transactions consisted of:

•sale of our Cellulose Fibers liquid packaging board business
to Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd for $285 million in cash
proceeds, which closed on August 31, 2016;

•sale of our Cellulose Fibers printing papers joint venture to
One Rock Capital Partners, LLC for $42 million in cash
proceeds, which closed on November 1, 2016; and

•sale of our Cellulose Fibers pulp business to International
Paper for $2.2 billion in cash proceeds, which closed on
December 1, 2016.

The results of operations for our pulp and liquid packaging
board businesses, along with our interest in our printing papers
joint venture, were reclassified to discontinued operations
during our 2016 reporting year. These results have been
summarized in “Earnings from discontinued operations, net of
income taxes” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for
each period presented. We did not reclassify our Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows to reflect discontinued operations.
Cellulose Fibers was previously disclosed as a separate
reportable business segment. Retained indirect corporate
overhead costs previously allocated to Cellulose Fibers are now
reported as part of Unallocated Items.

We used $1.7 billion of the after-tax proceeds from the sale of
our Cellulose Fibers business segment for repayment of debt
during 2016.

•$197 million in 2015.

NOTE 4: MERGER WITH PLUM CREEK

On February 19, 2016, we merged with Plum Creek Timber
Company, Inc. (Plum Creek). Plum Creek was a REIT that
primarily owned and managed timberlands in the United States.
Plum Creek also produced wood products, developed
opportunities for mineral and other natural resource extraction,
and sold real estate properties.

The acquisition of total assets of $10.0 billion was a noncash
investing and financing activity comprised of $6.4 billion in
equity consideration transferred and $3.6 billion of liabilities
assumed.

HOW WE CALCULATE BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS
PER SHARE

Potential Shares Not Included in the Computation of Diluted
Earnings per Share

“Basic earnings” per share is net earnings available to common
shareholders divided by the weighted average number of our
outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units
where there is no circumstance under which those shares
would not be issued.

LIFO — the last-in, first-out method — applies to major
inventory products held at our U.S. domestic locations. The
FIFO — the first-in, first-out method — or moving average cost
methods apply to the balance of our domestic raw material and
product inventories as well as for all material and supply
inventories and all foreign inventories. If we used FIFO for all
LIFO inventories, our stated inventories would have been higher
by $70 million as of December 31, 2017, and $71 million as of
December 31, 2016, respectively.

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive
effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units
and performance share units. Share-based payment awards
that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of
specified performance or market conditions are included in our
diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the
conditions are satisfied.

NOTE 8: RELATED PARTIES

This note provides details about and our transactions with
related parties. Our related parties consist of:

•joint ventures accounted for using equity method;
•our Twin Creeks Venture; and
•special-purpose entities (SPEs).

JOINT VENTURES ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY
METHOD

We have investments in an unconsolidated joint venture over
which we have significant influence that we account for using
the equity method. We record our share of net earnings within
“Equity Earnings from joint ventures” in our Consolidated
Statement of Operations in the period in which earnings are
recorded by the affiliates.

Real Estate Development Ventures

WestRock-Charleston Land Partners, LLC (WR-CLP) is a limited
liability company which holds residential and commercial real
estate development properties, currently under development
(Class A Properties) and higher-value timber and development
lands (Class B Properties) (referred to collectively as the Real
Estate Development Ventures). We have a 3 percent interest in
Class A Properties and a 50 percent interest in Class B
Properties. WestRock Company is the other member of WR-CLP
and owns 97 percent of the Class A Properties and 50 percent
of the Class B Properties. The company uses the equity method
for both its Class A and Class B interests. Our share of the
equity earnings is included in the net contribution to earnings of
our Real Estate & ENR segment.

WR-CLP is a variable interest entity and is financed by regular
capital calls from the manager of WR-CLP in proportion to a
member’s ownership interest. If a member does not make a
capital contribution, the member’s ownership interest is
diluted. We are not committed to make any material capital
contributions during the remaining term of the venture, which
expires in 2020. We do not intend to provide any additional
sources of financing for WR-CLP.

We are not the primary beneficiary of WR-CLP. We consider the
activities that most significantly impact the economic
performance of WR-CLP to be the day-to-day operating decisions
along with the oversight responsibilities for the real estate
development projects and properties. WestRock Company (the
other equity member) has the power to direct the activities of
WR-CLP that most significantly impact its economic
performance through its ability to manage the day-to-day
operations of WR-CLP. WestRock Company also has the ability
to control all management decisions associated with all Class A
and Class B Properties through its majority representation on
the board of directors for the Class A Properties and due to its
equal representation on the board of directors for the Class B
Properties.

The carrying amount of our investment in WR-CLP is $31 million
and $56 million at December 31, 2017, and December 31,
2016, respectively. The change in our investment in WR-CLP
during 2017 is due to a $25 million cash return of investment

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

received during 2017. Additionally, we had $1 million of equity
earnings from the joint ventures during 2017. We record our
share of net earnings within “Equity earnings from joint
ventures” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the
period which earnings are recorded by the affiliates.

no further responsibilities or obligations related to the Twin
Creeks Venture and our continuing involvement in the
contributed timberlands ceased. Due to the events during the
quarter, we have recognized the sale of the original contribution
of timberlands that occurred April 2016.

Other Joint Ventures

Timberland Venture

Since August 31, 2016, we hold all of the equity interests in
the Timberland Venture and consolidate it as a wholly-owned
subsidiary and eliminated our equity method investment in the
Timberland Venture.

Beginning on the date of our merger with Plum Creek until
August 31, 2016, we held preferred and common interests in
Southern Diversified Timber, LLC, a timberland joint venture
(Timberland Venture), which included 100 percent of the
preferred interests and 9 percent of the common interests. The
Timberland Venture’s other member, an affiliate of Campbell
Global LLC (TCG Member), held 91 percent of the Timberland
Venture’s common interests. Our investment in and share of
the equity earnings of the Timberland Venture was not
attributed to one of our business segments, and was reported
in Unallocated Items. On August 31, 2016, the Timberland
Venture redeemed TCG Member’s interest. In conjunction with
the redemption of TCG Member, we remeasured our previously
held equity interest to fair value at August 31, 2016, resulting
in recognition of a gain of $6 million in “Interest income and
other” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations during
third quarter 2016.

North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC)

During 2016, we sold our interest in North Pacific Paper
Corporation (NORPAC). See Note 3: Discontinued Operations
and other divestitures for additional information.

TWIN CREEKS VENTURE

Ownership Redemption, Agreement Termination and Sale
Recognition

During October 2017, we redeemed our 21 percent ownership
interest in the Twin Creeks Venture for $108 million in cash.
We did not recognize a material gain or loss on the redemption
of our ownership interest. The cash received was classified as
a cash flow from investing activities in our Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows.

Effective December 31, 2017, we terminated the agreements
under which we had managed the Twin Creeks timberlands.
Following termination of these agreements, Weyerhaeuser has

Formation and Operations

On April 1, 2016, we contributed approximately 260,000 acres
of our southern timberlands with an agreed-upon value of
approximately $560 million to Twin Creeks Timber, LLC (Twin
Creeks Venture), in exchange for cash of approximately
$440 million and a 21 percent ownership interest. The other
members contributed cash of approximately $440 million for a
combined 79 percent ownership interest.

In conjunction with contributing to the venture, we entered into
a separate agreement to manage the timberlands owned by the
Twin Creeks Venture, including harvesting activities, marketing
and log sales activities, and replanting and silviculture
activities. This management agreement guaranteed the Twin
Creeks Venture an annual return equal to 3 percent of the
contributed value of the managed timberlands in the form of
minimum quarterly payments from Weyerhaeuser. This
agreement also required us to annually distribute 75 percent of
any profits earned by us in excess of the minimum quarterly
payments. The management agreement was cancellable at any
time by Twin Creeks Timber, LLC, and otherwise would expire
on April 1, 2019.

The guaranteed return that the management agreement
required Weyerhaeuser to provide to the Twin Creeks Venture
constituted continuing involvement in the timberlands that we
contributed to the venture. This continuing involvement
prohibited the recognition of the contribution as a sale and
required application of the deposit method to account for the
cash payment received. By applying the deposit method to the
contribution of timberlands to the venture:
•Our receipt of $440 million proceeds from the contribution of
timberlands to the venture was recorded as a noncurrent

liability — “Deposit from contribution of timberlands to
related party” — on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

and 2016. Maturities of the financial investments at the end of
2017 were:

•The contributed timberlands continued to be reported within
the “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion charged
to disposals” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
•No gain or loss was recognized in our Consolidated

Statement of Operations.

•Our balance sheet did not reflect our 21 percent ownership

interest in the Twin Creeks Venture.

The receipt of $440 million was classified as a cash flow from
investing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows. The cash proceeds from our contribution of timberlands
were used for share repurchases.

Sale of Additional Timberlands to Twin Creeks

In conjunction with the redemption and termination discussed
above, we also entered an agreement to sell 100,000 acres of
Southern Timberlands to Twin Creeks for $203 million. The
sale, which included 80,000 acres of timberlands in
Mississippi and 20,000 acres in Georgia, closed December 29,
2017. The sale resulted in a $99 million gain recognized during
fourth quarter 2017.

SPECIAL-PURPOSE ENTITIES

From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic
timberlands in five separate transactions. We are the primary
beneficiary and consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain
monetization and buyer-sponsored SPEs involved in these
transactions. We have an equity interest in the monetization
SPEs, but no ownership interest in the buyer-sponsored SPEs.
The following disclosures refer to assets of buyer-sponsored
SPEs and liabilities of monetization SPEs. However, because
these SPEs are distinct legal entities:
•Assets of the SPEs are not available to satisfy our liabilities

or obligations.

•Liabilities of the SPEs are not our liabilities or obligations.
Our Consolidated Statement of Operations includes:
•Interest expense on SPE notes of:

– $29 million in 2017,
– $29 million in 2016 and
– $29 million in 2015.

•Interest income on SPE investments of:

– $34 million in 2017,
– $34 million in 2016 and
– $34 million in 2015.

Sales proceeds paid to buyer-sponsored SPEs were invested in
restricted financial investments with a balance of $615 million
as of both December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The
weighted average interest rate was 5.5 percent during 2017

•$253 million in 2019 and
•$362 million in 2020.
The long-term notes of our monetization SPEs were
$511 million as of both December 31, 2017, and
December 31, 2016. The weighted average interest rate was
5.6 percent during 2017 and 2016. Maturities of the notes at
the end of 2017 were:

•$209 million in 2018 and
•$302 million in 2019.
Financial investments consist of bank guarantees backed by
bank notes for three of the SPE transactions. Interest earned
from each financial investment is used to pay interest accrued
on the corresponding SPE’s note. Any shortfall between interest
earned and interest accrued reduces our equity in the
monetization SPEs.

Upon dissolution of the SPEs and payment of all obligations of
the entities, we would receive any net equity remaining in the
monetization SPEs and would be required to report taxable
gains on our income tax return. In the event that proceeds from
the financial investments are insufficient to settle all of the
liabilities of the SPEs, we are not obligated to contribute any
funds to any of the SPEs. As of December 31, 2017, our net
equity in the three SPEs was approximately $105 million and
the deferred tax liability was estimated to be approximately
$116 million.

NOTE 9: PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT
BENEFIT PLANS

This note provides details about defined benefit and defined
contribution plans we sponsor for our employees. The Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans section of Note 1:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies provides information
about employee eligibility for pension plans and postretirement
health care and life insurance benefits, as well as how we
account for the plans and benefits.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS WE SPONSOR

OVERVIEW OF PLANS

The defined benefit pension plans we sponsor in the U.S. and
Canada differ according to each country’s requirements. In the
U.S., we have qualified plans that qualify under the Internal
Revenue Code and nonqualified plans for select employees that
provide additional benefits not qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code. In Canada, we have registered plans that are
registered under the Income Tax Act and applicable provincial

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

77

pension acts and nonregistered plans for select employees that
provide additional benefits that may not be registered under the
Income Tax Act or provincial pension acts. We also offer other
postretirement benefit plans in the U.S. and Canada, including
retiree medical and life insurance plans.

Assumed Plans from Merger with Plum Creek

FUNDED STATUS OF PLANS

The funded status of the plans we sponsor is determined by
comparing the projected benefit obligation with the fair value of
plan assets at the end of the year. The following table
demonstrates how our plans’ funded status is reflected on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Upon our merger with Plum Creek, we assumed one qualified
pension plan and two nonqualified pension plans. These plans
were frozen as of February 19, 2016, and all plans were
merged into existing Weyerhaeuser plans effective
December 31, 2016.

The fair values of items assumed are included as plan
acquisitions in the following tables. We also assumed assets of
$47 million related to the nonqualified plans held in a grantor
trust. These assets are subject to the claims of creditors in the
event of bankruptcy. As a result, these are not considered plan
assets and are not netted against the nonqualified pension
liability. These assets are included in “Other assets” in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. During 2016 and 2017, we
redeemed $42 million of these assets to make nonqualified
pension benefit payments.

During first quarter 2016, we recognized $5 million of pension
benefit costs from change in control provisions for certain Plum
Creek executives. These enhanced pension benefits were
triggered by changes in control and retention decisions made
after the completion of the merger (see Note 17: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset
Impairments).

Amendments of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit
Plans for Salaried Employees

There were no material pension plan, postretirement medical or
life insurance plan amendments in 2017. Aside from the
December 31, 2016, amendments to merge the Plum Creek
plans into the Weyerhaeuser plans as described above, there
were no material plan amendments in 2016. There were also
no material plan amendments in 2015.

“Cumulative Other Comprehensive Loss”, which is a component
of total equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The

Accumulated Benefit Obligations Greater Than Plan Assets

As of December 31, 2017, pension plans with accumulated
benefit obligations greater than plan assets had:
•$5.9 billion in projected benefit obligations,
•$5.9 billion in accumulated benefit obligations and
•assets with a fair value of $4.6 billion.
As of December 31, 2016, pension plans with accumulated
benefit obligations greater than plan assets had:
•$5.7 billion in projected benefit obligations,
•$5.6 billion in accumulated benefit obligations and
•assets with a fair value of $4.5 billion.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all of our defined benefit
pension plans was:

•$6.7 billion at December 31, 2017, and
•$6.4 billion at December 31, 2016.

PENSION ASSETS

Our Investment Policies and Strategies

Our investment policies and strategies guide and direct how the
funds are managed for the benefit plans we sponsor. These
funds include our:

•U.S. Pension Trust — funds our U.S. qualified pension plans;
•Canadian Pension Trust — funds our Canadian registered

pension plans; and

•Retirement Compensation Arrangements — fund a portion of

our Canadian nonregistered pension plans.

U.S. and Canadian Pension Trusts

Investment managers of our pension plan asset portfolios use
a diversified set of investment strategies. Our trusts invest
both directly in a diversified mix of nontraditional investments,
and indirectly through derivatives to promote effective use of
capital, increase returns and manage associated risk. Our
direct investments include cash and short-term investments,
common and preferred stocks, hedge funds and related
investments and private equity and related investments. Our
indirect investments include equity and fixed income index
derivatives, foreign currency derivatives and total return swaps.

Cash and short-term investments include highly liquid money
market and government securities and are primarily held to
fund benefit payments, capital calls, margin requirements or to
meet regulatory requirements.

Common and preferred stocks are equity instruments that have
been purchased directly or resulted from transactions related to
private equity investment holdings.

Hedge fund and related investments are privately-offered
managed pools primarily structured as limited liability entities.
General members or partners of these limited liability entities
serve as portfolio managers and are thus responsible for the
fund’s underlying investment decisions. Underlying investments
within these funds may include long and short public and
private equities, corporate, mortgage and sovereign debt,
options, swaps, forwards and other derivative positions. These
funds have varying degrees of leverage, liquidity, and
redemption provisions.

Private equity and related investments are investments in
private equity, mezzanine, distressed, co-investments and other
structures. Private equity funds generally participate in buyouts

and venture capital of limited liability entities through unlisted
equity and debt instruments. These funds may also borrow at
the underlying entity level. Mezzanine and distressed funds
generally invest in the debt of public or private companies with
additional participation through warrants or other equity
options.

market price risk by investing in a diversified portfolio whose
returns exhibit low correlation to traditional asset classes and
to each other. In addition, we and our investment advisers
perform regular monitoring with ongoing qualitative
assessments, quantitative assessments, and comprehensive
investment and operational due diligence.

Derivative instruments are comprised of swaps, futures,
forwards or options. Equity and fixed income index derivatives
are used to achieve target equity and bond exposure or to
reduce exposure to certain market risks. Foreign currency
derivatives reduce exposure to certain currency risks. Total
return swaps enable exposure to return characteristics of
specific financial strategies with limited exchange of principal.

While we do not target specific direct investment or derivative
allocations, we have established guidelines on the percentage
of pension trust assets that can be invested in certain
categories to provide diversification by investment type fund
and investment managers, as well as to manage overall
liquidity. Allocation of trust assets at the end of the last two
years is presented below.

Retirement Compensation Arrangements

Retirement compensation arrangements fund a portion of our
Canadian nonregistered pension plans. As required by
Canadian tax rules, approximately 50 percent of these assets
are invested into a noninterest-bearing refundable tax account
held by the Canada Revenue Agency. This portion of the
portfolio does not earn returns. The remaining portion is
invested in a portfolio of equities.

Managing Risk

Investments and contracts are subject to risks including market
price, liquidity, currency, interest rate and credit risks. The
following provides an overview of these risks and describes
governance processes and actions we take to mitigate these
risks on our pension plan asset portfolios.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the trust will not be able to settle
liabilities such as payments to participants, counterparties, and
service providers. Plan investments in limited liability pools with
no active secondary market may be illiquid. Private equity funds
are subject to distribution and funding schedules set by fund
managers and market activity. Hedge funds may also be
subject to restrictions that delay redemptions. To mitigate
liquidity risk, private equity portfolios have been diversified
across different vintage years and strategies, and hedge fund
portfolios have been diversified across investment fund
managers, strategies and liquidity provisions. In addition, the
investment committee regularly reviews cash flows of the
pension trusts and sets appropriate guidelines to address
liquidity needs.

Currency risk arises from holding plan assets denominated in a
currency other than the currency in which its liabilities are
settled. Currency risk is generally managed through notional
contracts designed to hedge net exposure to non-functional
currencies.

Interest rate risk is the risk that a change in interest rates will
adversely affect the fair value of fixed income securities.
Interest rate risk exposure is primarily indirect through
investment in limited liability pools. Fund managers mitigate
this risk with predefined investment mandates and investment
decisions.

Credit risk is the risk that counterparties’ failure to discharge
their obligations could impact cash flows. The trusts’ primary
exposure is through settlement receivables from derivative
contracts. Only the amount of unsettled net receivables is at
risk for these types of investments, and no principal is at risk.
We decrease credit risk exposure by only dealing with highly-
rated financial counterparties; as of year-end, our
counterparties each had a credit rating of at least A from S&P.
We further manage this risk through diversification of
counterparties, predefined settlement and margining provisions
and documented agreements.

We are also exposed to credit risk indirectly through
counterparty relationships initiated by underlying managers of
investments in limited liability pools. This risk is mitigated
through initial due diligence and ongoing monitoring processes.

Valuation of Our Plan Assets

Market price risk is the risk that market fluctuations will
adversely affect the value of plan assets. The trusts mitigate

sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the reporting date. We do not
consider forced or distressed sale scenarios. Instead, we
consider both observable and unobservable inputs that reflect
assumptions applied by market participants when setting the
exit price of an asset or liability in an orderly transaction within
the principal market for that asset or liability.

We value the pension plan assets based upon the observability
of exit pricing inputs and classify pension plan assets based
upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement of the pension plan assets in their entirety. The
fair value hierarchy is:

•Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical

assets and liabilities traded in an active market.

•Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices in non-active markets for

which pricing inputs are observable either directly or indirectly
at the reporting date.

•Level 3: Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in
which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are
unobservable.

Investments for which fair value is measured using the net
asset value per share as a practical expedient are not
categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and short-term investments are valued at cost, which
approximates market.

Common and preferred stocks are valued at exit prices quoted
in public markets.

Hedge funds, private equities, and related fund units are valued
based on the net asset values of the funds. These values
represent the per-unit price at which new investors are
permitted to invest and existing investors are permitted to exit.
When net asset values as of the end of the year have not been
received, we estimate fair value by adjusting the most recently
reported net asset values for market events and cash flows
between the interim date and the end of the year.

Derivative instruments are valued based upon valuation
statements received from each derivative’s counterparty. These
contracts are not publicly traded.

The availability of observable market data is monitored to
assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments
within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions
or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer
of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In
such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the
reporting period. We evaluate the significance of transfers
between levels based upon the nature of the financial
instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets
available for benefits.

benefit plans were 3.50 percent and 3.70 percent for the years
ended December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016,
respectively. Additionally, the discount rates used for our
Canadian other postretirement benefit plans were 3.40 percent

We have assumed a long-term rate of return on plan assets of
8 percent for the year ended December 31, 2017. As part of
our 2016 annual evaluation of key assumptions, we reduced
our assumption of long-term rate of return on plan assets to
8 percent for estimated 2017 net periodic benefit cost.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

83

Determining our expected return requires a high degree of
judgment. We consider actual pension fund performance over
multiple years, and current and expected valuation levels in the
global equity and credit markets. Historical fund returns are
used as a base, and we place added weight on more recent
pension plan asset performance. Over the 33 years it has been
in place, our U.S. pension trust investment strategy has
achieved a 13.7 percent net compound annual return rate. The
past 5 years, our net compounded annual return was over
8 percent.

Nonregistered Plans

Canadian tax rules require that 50 percent of the assets for
nonregistered plans go to a noninterest-bearing refundable tax
account. As a result, the return we earn investing the other
50 percent is spread over 100 percent of the assets. Our
expected long-term annual rate of return on the portion we are
allowed to manage is 7 percent. This assumption is based on
historical experience and future return expectations. The
expected overall annual return on assets that fund our
nonregistered plans is 3.5 percent.

Allocation of Actual Returns Between Assets Held by Our
Pension Trusts

The percentage of actual return on assets held by our pension
trusts in 2017 based on valuations as of year-end is as follows:

Health Care Costs

Rising costs of health care affect the costs of our other

cost trend rates to estimate the cost of benefits we provide.
Our trend rate assumptions are based on historical market
experience, current environment and future expectations. In
2017, the assumed weighted health care cost trend rate was:

•8.9 percent for U.S. Pre-Medicare
•4.5 percent for U.S. Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
•4.9 percent for Canada

Expected Pension Plan and Benefit Funding

Established funding standards govern the funding requirements
for our qualified and registered pension plans. We fund the
benefit payments of our nonqualified and nonregistered plans
as benefit payments come due. There was no minimum
required contribution for our U.S. qualified plan for 2017, nor
were any contributions made to this plan in 2017. During 2017,
we contributed $25 million for our Canadian registered plans,
we made contributions and benefit payments of $2 million for
our Canadian nonregistered pension plans and made benefit
payments of $31 million for our nonqualified pension plans,
including $1 million of enhanced pension benefit payments
from change in control provisions.

During 2018, based on estimated year-end asset values and
projections of plan liabilities, we expect to:

•be required to contribute approximately $23 million for our

Canadian registered plan;

•be required to contribute or make benefit payments for our

Canadian nonregistered plans of $4 million; and

•make benefit payments of approximately $19 million for our

U.S. nonqualified pension plans.

We do not anticipate a contribution being required for our U.S.
qualified pension plan for 2018.

Expected Postretirement Benefit Funding

Benefits for these plans are paid from our general assets as
they come due. We expect to make benefit payments of
$19 million for our U.S. and Canadian other postretirement
benefit plans in 2018, including $7 million expected to be
required to cover benefit payments under collectively bargained
contractual obligations.

UNION-ADMINISTERED MULTIEMPLOYER BENEFIT PLANS

We contribute to multiemployer defined benefit plans under the
terms of collective-bargaining agreements. These plans cover a
small number of our employees and on an annual basis our
contributions are immaterial.

These plans have different risks than single-employer plans.
Our contributions may be used to fund benefits for employees
of other participating employers. If we choose to stop
participating, we may be required to pay a withdrawal liability
based on the underfunded status of the plan. If another
participating employer stops contributing to the plan, we may
become responsible for remaining plan unfunded obligations.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

We sponsor various defined contribution plans for our U.S. and
Canadian salaried and hourly employees. Our contributions to
these plans were:

•$21 million in 2017,
•$27 million in 2016 and
•$21 million in 2015.
Upon our merger with Plum Creek, we assumed one defined
contribution plan, the Plum Creek Thrift and Profit Sharing Plan.
Effective July 15, 2016, the assets of this plan were merged
into the Weyerhaeuser 401(k) Plan.

During March 2017, we entered into a new $1.5 billion five-year
senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in March
2022. This replaced a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving
credit facility that was originally set to expire September 2018.
The entire amount is available to Weyerhaeuser Company.
Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates
mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending
banks. As of December 31, 2017, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the facility and we were in compliance with
the credit facility covenants.

•term loans issued and extinguished,
•long-term debt assumed in the Plum Creek merger, and
•long-term debt and long-term debt maturities.
Our long-term debt includes notes, debentures and other
borrowings.

TERM LOANS ISSUED AND EXTINGUISHED

During July 2017, we prepaid a $550 million variable-rate term
loan originally set to mature in 2020 (2020 term loan). The
2020 term loan was prepaid using available cash of
$325 million as well as borrowing proceeds from a new
$225 million variable-rate term loan set to mature in 2026
(2026 term loan). The 2020 term loan was eligible to received
patronage refunds while outstanding. Similarly, we receive
patronage refunds on the 2026 term loans, which will continue
while the loan remains outstanding. Refer to the “Installment
Note” section below for further details regarding patronage
refunds.

During August 2017, we paid our $281 million 6.95 percent
debenture due in 2017.

During February 2016, and subsequent to completion of the
Plum Creek merger, we entered into a $600 million 18-month
senior unsecured term loan set to mature in August 2017. The
$600 million outstanding under this facility was repaid in full
and terminated during fourth quarter 2016.

During March 2016, we entered into a $1.9 billion 18-month
senior unsecured term loan set to mature in September 2017.
The $1.1 billion outstanding under this facility was repaid in full
and terminated during fourth quarter 2016.

OTHER LETTERS OF CREDIT AND SURETY BONDS

LONG-TERM DEBT ASSUMED IN THE PLUM CREEK MERGER

Our compensating balance requirements for our letters of credit
were $5 million as of December 31, 2017.

Through our merger with Plum Creek, we assumed long-term
debt instruments consisting of:

•two issuances of publicly traded Senior Notes,
•an Installment Note (defined and described below) and
•the Note Payable to Timberland Venture (defined and

described below).

Concurrent with the merger, we repaid in full the outstanding
balances of Plum Creek’s Revolving Line of Credit and Term
Loan using $720 million of cash on hand.

Senior Notes

The assumed Senior Notes are publicly traded and were issued
by Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. (PC Timberlands) and were
fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Weyerhaeuser Company

86

Note Payable to Timberland Venture

We assumed the Note Payable to Timberland Venture, which
had a principal balance of $783 million. The annual interest
rate on the Note Payable to Timberland Venture is fixed
at 7.375 percent. Interest is paid quarterly with the principal
due upon maturity. The note matures on October 1, 2018, but
may be extended until October 1, 2020, at our election. The
note is not redeemable prior to maturity.

Through acquisition accounting, the Note Payable to Timberland
Venture was recognized at an estimated fair value of
$838 million as of the acquisition date. The difference between
the cash interest payments and the amount being recorded as
interest expense at the effective market rate will reduce the
carrying value of the note to the principal amount at the
maturity date.

On August 31, 2016, the Timberland Venture redeemed TCG
Member’s interest and Weyerhaeuser obtained full ownership
of the Timberland Venture’s equity. As a result, we
consolidated the Timberland Venture as a wholly-owned
subsidiary and the Note Payable to Timberland Venture is
therefore eliminated for financial reporting purposes upon
consolidation as it is now intercompany indebtedness. The
redemption transaction and consolidation are described in
Note 8: Related Parties.

as of the acquisition date. During third quarter 2016, PC
Timberlands was merged into Weyerhaeuser Company and
Weyerhaeuser Company assumed the obligations. There were
two separate Senior Notes: $569 million (principal)
of 4.70 percent notes which mature in 2021 and $325 million
(principal) of 3.25 percent notes which mature in 2023. The
Senior Notes are redeemable prior to maturity; however, they
are subject to a premium on redemption, which is based upon
interest rates of U.S. Treasury securities having similar average
maturities.

Through acquisition accounting the Senior Notes were
recognized at estimated fair values of $614 million for the
4.70 percent notes and $324 million for the 3.25 percent
notes as of the acquisition date. The differences between cash
interest payments and the amounts recorded as interest
expense at the effective market rates will adjust the carrying
values of the notes to the principal amounts at maturity.

Installment Note

We assumed an installment note (Installment Note) payable to
WestRock Land and Development, LLC (WR LD) that was issued
in connection with Plum Creek’s acquisition of certain
timberland assets. The principal balance of the Installment
Note is $860 million. Following the issuance, WR LD pledged
the installment note to certain banks. The annual interest rate
on the Installment Note is fixed at 5.207 percent. Interest is
paid semi-annually with the principal due upon maturity
in December 2023. The term may be extended at the request
of the holder if the company at the time of the request intends
to refinance all or a portion of the Installment Note for a term of
five years or more. The Installment Note is generally not
redeemable prior to maturity except in certain limited
circumstances and could be subject to a premium on
redemption.

We receive patronage refunds under the Installment Note.
Patronage refunds are distributions of profits from banks in the
farm credit system, which are cooperatives that are required to
distribute profits to their members. Patronage distributions,
which are made in either cash or stock, are received in the year
after they were earned and are recorded as offsets to interest
expense.

Through acquisition accounting, the Installment Note was
recognized at an estimated fair value of $893 million as of the
acquisition date. The difference between the cash interest
payments and the amount being recorded as interest expense
at the effective market rate will reduce the carrying value of the
Installment Note to the principal amount at the maturity date.

Total Debt

To estimate the fair value of long-term debt, we used the
following valuation approaches:

•market approach — based on quoted market prices we
received for the same types and issues of our debt; or
•income approach — based on the discounted value of the

future cash flows using market yields for the same type and
comparable issues of debt.

We believe that our variable rate long-term debt instruments
have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with
only insignificant differences.

The inputs to these valuations are based on market data
obtained from independent sources or information derived
principally from observable market data. The difference
between the fair value and the carrying value represents the
theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to
retire all debt at the measurement date.

FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund
investments held in grantor trusts, 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 and the allowance for
doubtful accounts.

NOTE 14: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES

This note provides details about our:

•legal proceedings,
•environmental matters and
•commitments and other contingencies.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal
proceeding that management believes could have a material
adverse effect on our long-term consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. See “Ongoing IRS Matter”
in Note 20: Income Taxes for a discussion of a tax proceeding
involving Plum Creek REIT’s 2008 U.S. federal income tax
return.

Our environmental matters include:

We change our accrual to reflect:

•site remediation and
•asset retirement obligations.

Site Remediation

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act — commonly known as the
Superfund — and similar state laws, we:

•are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of

hazardous waste sites and

•have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible
party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites
for which proceedings have not yet been initiated.

We have received notification from the Environmental Protection
Agency (the EPA) and have acknowledged that we are a
potentially responsible party in a portion of the Kalamazoo River
Superfund site in southwest Michigan. Our involvement in the
remediation site is based on our former ownership of the
Plainwell, Michigan mill located within the remediation site.
Several other companies also operated upstream pulp mills
within the remediation site. We are currently cooperating with
the other parties to jointly implement an administrative order
issued by the EPA on April 14, 2016, with respect to a portion
of the site comprising a stretch of the river approximately
1.7 miles long referred to as the Otsego Township Dam Area.
We do not expect to incur material losses related to the
implementation of this administrative order; however, we may
incur additional costs, as yet not specified, in connection with
remediation tasks resulting from other areas of the site. The
company, along with others, was named as a defendant by
Georgia Pacific Consumer Products LP, Fort James Corporation
and Georgia-Pacific LLC in an action seeking contribution under
CERCLA for remediation costs relating to the site. The trial has
been concluded but a decision on cost contribution and
allocation has not yet been rendered by the Court.

Our Established Reserves. We have established reserves for
estimated remediation costs on the active Superfund sites and
other sites for which we are a potentially responsible party.

•new information on any site concerning implementation of

remediation alternatives,

•updates on prior cost estimates and new sites and
•costs incurred to remediate sites.
Estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible, based on
currently available information and analysis, that remediation
costs for all identified sites may exceed our existing reserves
by up to $150 million.

This estimate, in which those additional costs may be incurred
over several years, is the upper end of the range of reasonably
possible additional costs. The estimate:

•is much less certain than the estimates on which our

accruals currently are based and

•uses assumptions that are less favorable to us among the

range of reasonably possible outcomes.

In estimating our current accruals and the possible range of
additional future costs, we:

•assumed we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of

every site,

•took into account the ability of other potentially responsible

parties to participate and

•considered each party’s financial condition and probable

contribution on a per-site basis.

We have not recorded any amounts for potential recoveries
from insurance carriers.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets consisting primarily of reforestation
obligations related to forest management licenses in Canada
and obligations to close and cap landfills. Some of our sites
have asbestos containing materials. We have met our current
legal obligation to identify and manage these materials. In
situations where we cannot reasonably determine when
asbestos containing materials might be removed from the

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

sites, we have not recorded an accrual because the fair value
of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. These
obligations are recorded in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other
liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Product Remediation Contingency

In July 2017, the company announced it was implementing a
solution to address concerns regarding our TJI® Joists with
Flak Jacket® Protection product. The company has determined
that an odor in certain newly constructed homes is related to a
recent formula change to the Flak Jacket coating that included
a formaldehyde-based resin. This issue is isolated to Flak
Jacket product manufactured after December 1, 2016, and
does not affect any of the company’s other products. We
recorded a pretax charge of $290 million in the period ended
December 31, 2017, related to remediation costs. Refer to
Note 18: Charges for Product Remediation for further
information.

COMMITMENTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Our commitments and contingencies include:
•guarantees of debt and performance,
•operating leases and
•product remediation contingency.

NOTE 15: SHAREHOLDERS’ INTEREST

This note provides details about:
•preferred and preference shares,
•common shares,

Guarantees

We have guaranteed the performance of the buyer/lessee of a
timberlands lease we sold in 2005. Future payments on the
lease, which expires in 2023, are $12 million.

Operating Leases

Our rent expense for continuing operations was:
•$39 million in 2017,
•$37 million in 2016 and
•$24 million in 2015.
We have operating leases for:
•various equipment, including logging equipment, lift trucks,

automobiles and office equipment;

•timberland ground leases; and
•office and wholesale space.

Future Commitments on Operating Leases

Our operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2017

PREFERRED AND PREFERENCE SHARES

We had no preferred shares outstanding at the end of 2017 or
2016. However, we have authorization to issue 7 million
preferred shares with a par value of $1.00 per share.

On June 24, 2013, we issued 13.8 million of our 6.375 percent
Mandatory Convertible Preference Shares, Series A, par value
$1.00 and liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, for net
proceeds of $669 million, which remained outstanding at
December 31, 2015. Dividends were payable on a cumulative
basis when, as and if declared by our board of directors, at an
annual rate of 6.375 percent on the liquidation preference. We
could pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain
limitations, in common shares or by delivery of any combination
of cash and common shares on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2013,
through and including, July 1, 2016. These shares
automatically converted to common shares on July 1, 2016. At
any time prior to that date, holders could elect to convert each
share into common shares at the minimum conversion rate of
1.5283 common shares, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.

On July 1, 2016, all outstanding 6.375 percent Mandatory
Convertible Preference Shares, Series A (Preference Shares)
converted into Weyerhaeuser common shares at a rate of
1.6929 Weyerhaeuser common shares per Preference Share.
The company issued a total of 23.2 million Weyerhaeuser
common shares in conjunction with the conversion, based on
13.7 million Preference Shares outstanding as of the
conversion date.

In accordance with the terms of the Preference Shares, the
number of Weyerhaeuser common shares issuable on
conversion was determined based on the average volume
weighted average price of $29.54 for Weyerhaeuser common
shares over the 20-trading-day period beginning June 1, 2016,
and ending on June 28, 2016.

We may issue preferred or preference shares at one time or
through a series of offerings. The shares may have varying
rights and preferences that can include:

•dividend rights and amounts,
•redemption rights,
•conversion terms,
•sinking-fund provisions,
•values in liquidation and
•voting rights.
When issued, outstanding preferred and preference shares rank
senior to outstanding common shares. That means preferred
and preference shares would receive dividends and assets
available on liquidation before any payments are made to
common shares.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

On August 13, 2014, our board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program under which we were authorized to
repurchase up to $700 million of outstanding shares (the 2014
Repurchase Program). The 2014 Repurchase Program replaced
the prior 2011 stock repurchase program. During 2014, we
repurchased 6,062,993 shares of common stock for
$203 million under the 2014 Repurchase Program. During
2015, we completed the 2014 Repurchase Program by
repurchasing 15,471,962 shares of common stock for
$497 million.

On August 27, 2015, our board of directors approved a new
share repurchase program of up to $500 million on outstanding
shares (the 2015 Repurchase Program), commencing upon
completion of the 2014 Repurchase Program. During 2015, we
repurchased 717,464 shares of common stock for $22 million
under the 2015 Repurchase Program. As of December 31,
2016, we had remaining authorization of $478 million for future
stock repurchases.

In November 2015, our board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program under which we were authorized to
repurchase up to $2.5 billion of outstanding shares subsequent
to the closing of our merger with Plum Creek (the 2016
Repurchase Program). This new authorization replaced the
August 2015 share repurchase authorization. Transaction fees
incurred for repurchases are not counted as use of funds
authorized for repurchases under the 2016 Share Repurchase
Authorization. During 2016, we repurchased 67,816,810
shares of common stock for $2 billion under the 2016 Share
Repurchase Authorization. We did not repurchase any shares of
common stock during 2017. As of December 31, 2017, we had
remaining authorization of $500 million for future stock
repurchases. We had 755,223 thousand shares of common
stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

All common stock purchases under the 2016, 2015, and 2014
Repurchase Programs were made in open-market transactions.

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. There were no unsettled repurchases as of
December 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

•tax benefits of share-based awards,
•types of share-based compensation and

•$60 million in 2016 and
•$31 million in 2015.

The 2016 and 2015 amounts above contain awards to
employees of the divested Cellulose Fibers businesses and are
included in our results of discontinued operations. These
amounts are:

•$6 million in 2016 and
•$6 million in 2015.

OUR LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Our long-term incentive plans provide for share-based awards
that include:

•restricted stock,
•restricted stock units,
•performance shares
•performance share units,
•stock options and
•stock appreciation rights.

92

We may issue future grants of up to 21 million shares under
the 2013 Plan (the Plan). We also have the right to reissue
forfeited and expired grants.

For restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares,
performance share units or other equity grants:

•An individual participant may receive a grant of up to 1 million

shares annually.

•No participant may be granted awards that exceed

$10 million earned in a 12-month period.

For stock options and stock appreciation rights:

•An individual participant may receive a grant of up to 2 million

shares in any one calendar year.

•The exercise price is required to be the market price on the

date of the grant.

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors (the
Committee) annually establishes an overall pool of stock
awards available for grants based on performance.

For stock-settled awards, we:

•issue new stock into the marketplace and
•generally do not repurchase shares in connection with

issuing new awards.

Our common shares would increase by approximately 32 million
shares if all share-based awards were exercised or vested.
These include:

•all options, restricted stock units, and performance share
units outstanding at December 31, 2017, under the 2013
Plan and 2004 Plan; and

•all remaining options, restricted stock units, and performance

share units that could be granted under the 2013 Plan.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION RESULTING FROM OUR
MERGER WITH PLUM CREEK

Replacement awards were granted as a result of the merger
with Plum Creek. Eligible outstanding Plum Creek stock options,
restricted stock units and deferred stock unit awards were
converted into equivalent equity awards with respect to
Weyerhaeuser Common Shares, after giving effect to the
appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the
merger. In total, we issued replacement awards consisting of
1,953,128 stock options and 1,248,006 RSUs. We also
assumed 289,910 value management awards (VMAs) through
the merger with Plum Creek.

Replacement Stock Option Awards

The replacement stock option awards issued as a result of the
merger with Plum Creek have similar exercise provisions as the
terms of our current awards. All replacement stock option

awards were fully vested prior to the date of the merger, so no
expense will be recorded. The value of the replacement stock
option awards was $5 million, which was included in the equity
consideration issued in the merger as described in Note 4:
Merger with Plum Creek.

Replacement Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The replacement RSUs issued as a result of the merger with
Plum Creek have similar vesting provisions as the terms of
existing Weyerhaeuser restricted stock unit awards. Expense
for replacement RSUs will continue to be recognized over the
remaining service period unless a qualifying termination occurs.
A qualifying termination of an awardee will result in acceleration
of vesting and expense recognition in the period that the
qualifying termination occurs. Qualifying terminations during
2016 resulted in accelerated vesting of 705,394 of the
replacement RSUs and recognition of $15 million of expense.
The accelerated expense is included in the merger-related
integration costs as described in Note 17: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset Impairments.

Value Management Awards

Following the merger, the VMAs assumed were valued at target.
All outstanding VMAs, if earned, were set to vest December 31,
2017, and will be paid in the first quarter 2018. The VMAs
were classified and accounted for as liabilities, as they are
settled in cash upon vesting. The expense recognized over the
performance period subsequent to the merger was equal to the
cash value of an award as of the last day of the performance
period multiplied by the number of awards that were earned.
Expense for VMAs was recognized over the remaining service
period unless a qualifying termination occurs. A qualifying
termination of an awardee resulted in the acceleration of
vesting and expense recognition in the period that the qualifying
termination occurred. Qualifying terminations during 2016
resulted in $6 million of expense recognized. This accelerated
expense is included in merger-related integration costs as
described in Note 17: Charges for Integration and
Restructuring, Closures and Asset Impairments.

HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR SHARE-BASED AWARDS

When accounting for share-based awards we:

•use a fair-value-based measurement for share-based awards

and

•recognize the cost of share-based awards in our consolidated

financial statements.

We recognize the cost of share-based awards in our
Consolidated Statement of Operations over the required service

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

93

period — generally the period from the date of the grant to the
date when it is vested. Special situations include:
•Awards that vest upon retirement — the required service

period ends on the date an employee is eligible for
retirement, including early retirement.

•Awards that continue to vest following job elimination or the
sale of a business — the required service period ends on the
date the employment from the company is terminated.

In these special situations, compensation expense from share-
based awards is recognized over a period that is shorter than
the stated vesting period.

TAX BENEFITS OF SHARE-BASED AWARDS

Our total income tax benefit from share-based awards — as
recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations — for
the last three years was:
•$6 million in 2017,
•$12 million in 2016 and
•$8 million in 2015.
The 2016 and 2015 amounts above contain income tax benefit
from share-based awards to employees that were part of the
Cellulose Fibers divestitures and are included in our results of
discontinued operations. These amounts are:
•$2 million in 2016 and
•$2 million in 2015.
Tax benefits from share-based awards are accrued as stock
compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. Tax benefits from share-based
awards are realized when:
•restricted shares and restricted share units vest,
•performance shares and performance share units vest,
•stock options are exercised and
•stock appreciation rights are exercised.

TYPES OF SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Our share-based compensation is in the form of:
•restricted stock units,
•performance share units,
•stock options,
•stock appreciation rights,
•deferred compensation stock equivalent units and
•value management awards assumed in merger with Plum

Creek.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Through the Plan, we award restricted stock units — grants that
entitle the holder to shares of our stock as the award vests.

94

The Details

Our restricted stock units granted in 2017, 2016 and 2015
generally:
•vest ratably over four years;
•immediately vest in the event of death while employed or

disability;

•continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, but
a portion of the grant is forfeited if retirement occurs before
the one year anniversary of the grant;

•continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary
termination when the retirement has not been met; and
•will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other

situations including early retirement prior to age 62.

Our Accounting

The fair value of our restricted stock units is the market price of
our stock on the grant-date of the awards.

We generally record share-based compensation expense for
restricted stock units over the four-year vesting period.
Generally, for restricted stock units that continue to vest
following the termination of employment, we record the share-
based compensation expense over a required service period
that is less than the stated vesting period.

The weighted average grant-date fair value for restricted stock
units was:
•$32.83 in 2017,
•$30.25 in 2016 and
•$35.41 in 2015.
The total grant-date fair value of restricted stock units vested
was:
•$18 million in 2017,
•$36 million in 2016 and
•$14 million in 2015.

Nonvested restricted stock units accrue dividends that are paid
out when restricted stock units vest. Any restricted stock units
forfeited will not receive dividends.

As restricted stock units vest, a portion of the shares awarded
is withheld to cover employee taxes. As a result, the number of
stock units vested and the number of common shares issued
will differ.

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

Through the Plan, we award performance share units — grants
that entitle the holder to shares of our stock as the award
vests.

The Details

The final number of shares awarded will range from 0 percent
to 150 percent of each grant’s target, depending upon actual
company performance.

For shares granted in 2017, the ultimate number of
performance share units earned is based on two measures:

•our relative total shareholder return (TSR) ranking measured

against the S&P 500 over a three-year period and

•our relative TSR ranking measured against an industry peer

group of companies over a three-year period.

For shares granted in 2016, the ultimate number of
performance share units earned is based on three measures:

•our relative total shareholder return (TSR) ranking measured

against the S&P 500 over a three-year period,

•our relative TSR ranking measured against an industry peer

group of companies over a three-year period and

•achievement of Plum Creek merger cost synergy targets.
For shares granted in 2015, the ultimate number of
performance share units earned is based on two measures:

•our relative total shareholder return (TSR) ranking measured

against the S&P 500 over a three-year period and

•our relative TSR ranking measured against an industry peer

group of companies over a three-year period.

The vesting provisions for performance share units granted in
2017, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

•vest 100 percent on the third anniversary of the grant date
as long as the individual remains employed by the company;

•fully vest in the event the participant dies or becomes

disabled while employed;

•continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, but
a portion of the grant is forfeited if retirement occurs before
the one year anniversary of the grant;

•continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary

termination when the retirement criteria has not been met
and the employee has met the second anniversary of the
grant date; and

•will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other

situations including early retirement prior to age 62.

Our Accounting

Since the awards contain a market condition, the effect of the
market condition is reflected in the grant-date fair value which
is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model
estimates the TSR ranking of the company over the
performance period. Compensation expense is based on the
estimated probable number of earned awards and recognized
over the vesting period on an accelerated basis. Generally,
compensation expense would be reversed if the performance
condition is not met unless the requisite service period has
been achieved.

STOCK OPTIONS

Stock options entitle award recipients to purchase shares of
our common stock at a fixed exercise price. During 2017, we
did not grant any stock option awards. When granted in prior
years, however, we granted stock options with an exercise price
equal to the market price of our stock on the date of the grant.

The Details

Our stock options generally:

•vest over four years of continuous service and
•must be exercised within 10 years of the grant-date.
The vesting and post-termination vesting terms for stock
options granted in 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

•vest ratably over four years;
•vest or continue to vest in the event of death while employed

or disability;

•continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, but
a portion of the grant is forfeited if retirement occurs before
the one year anniversary of the grant;

•continue to vest for one year in the event of involuntary

termination when the retirement criteria has not been met;
and

•stop vesting for all other situations including early retirement

prior to age 62.

Our Accounting

We use a Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the
fair value of every stock option award on its grant-date.

In our estimates, we use:

•historical data — for option exercise time and employee

terminations;

•a Monte-Carlo simulation — for how long we expect granted

options to be outstanding; and

•the U.S. Treasury yield curve — for the risk-free rate. We use
a yield curve over a period matching the expected term of the
grant.

The expected volatility in our valuation model is based on:

•implied volatilities from traded options on our stock,
•historical volatility of our stock and
•other factors.

Share-based compensation expense for stock options is
generally recognized over the vesting period. There are
exceptions for stock options awarded to employees who:
•are eligible for retirement,
•will become eligible for retirement during the vesting period or
•whose employment is terminated during the vesting period

due to job elimination or the sale of a business.

In these cases, we record the share-based compensation
expense over a required service period that is less than the
stated vesting period.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

During 2017, we did not grant any stock appreciation rights. When
granted in prior years, however, we granted cash-settled stock
appreciation rights as part of certain compensation awards.

The Details

Stock appreciation rights are similar to stock options. Employees
benefit when the market price of our stock is higher on the
exercise date than it was on the date the stock appreciation rights
were granted. The differences are that the employee:

•receives the benefit as a cash award and
•does not purchase the underlying stock.
The vesting conditions and exceptions are the same as for
10-year stock options. Details are in the Stock Options section
earlier in this note.

Stock appreciation rights are generally issued to employees
outside of the U.S.

Our Accounting

We use a Black-Scholes option-valuation model to estimate the
fair value of a stock appreciation right on its grant-date and
every subsequent reporting date that the right is outstanding.
Stock appreciation rights are liability-classified awards and the
fair value is remeasured at every reporting date.

The process used to develop our valuation assumptions is the
same as for the 10-year stock options we grant. Details are in
the Stock Options section earlier in this note.

UNRECOGNIZED SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

As of December 31, 2017, our unrecognized share-based
compensation cost for all types of share-based awards included
$38 million related to non-vested equity-classified share-based
compensation arrangements — expected to be recognized over
a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK EQUIVALENT UNITS

Certain employees and our board of directors may defer
compensation into stock-equivalent units.

The Details

The plan works differently for employees and directors.

Eligible employees:
•may choose to defer all or part of their bonus into stock-

equivalent units;

•may choose to defer part of their salary, except for executive

officers; and

•receive a 15 percent premium if the deferral is for at least

five years.

Our directors:
•receive a portion of their annual retainer fee in the form of
restricted stock units, which vest over one year and may be
deferred into stock-equivalent units;

•may choose to defer some or all of the remainder of their

annual retainer fee into stock-equivalent units; and

•do not receive a premium for their deferrals.
Employees and directors also choose when the deferrals will be
paid out although no deferrals may be paid until after the
separation from service of the employee or director.

Our Accounting

We settle all deferred compensation accounts in cash for our
employees. Our directors receive shares of common stock as
payment for stock-equivalent units. In addition, we credit all
stock-equivalent accounts with dividend equivalents. The
number of common shares to be issued in the future to
directors is 616 thousand.

Stock-equivalent units are:
•liability-classified awards and
•re-measured to fair value at every reporting date.
The fair value of a stock-equivalent unit is equal to the market
price of our stock.

INTEGRATION, RESTRUCTURING AND CLOSURES

During 2017, we incurred and accrued for termination benefits
(primarily severance) and non-recurring professional services
costs directly attributable to our merger with Plum Creek.

During 2016, we incurred and accrued for termination benefits
(primarily severance), accelerated share-based payment costs,
and accelerated pension benefits based upon actual and
expected qualifying terminations of certain employees as a
result of restructuring decisions made subsequent to the
merger. We also incurred non-recurring professional services
costs for investment banking, legal and consulting, and certain
other fees directly attributable to our merger with Plum Creek.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

The Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill sections of
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies provide
details about how we account for these impairments. Additional
information can also be found in our Critical Accounting
Policies.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived asset impairments were primarily related to the
following:

•2017 — In second quarter 2017, we recognized an

impairment charge to the timberlands and manufacturing
assets of our Uruguayan operations. On June 2, 2017, our
Board of Directors approved an agreement to sell all of the
Company’s equity in the Uruguayan operations to a
consortium led by BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment
Group (TIG). As a result of this agreement, the related assets
met the criteria to be classified as held for sale at June 30,
2017. This designation required us to record the related
assets at fair value, less an amount of estimated selling
costs, and thus recognize a $147 million noncash pretax
impairment charge. This amount was recorded in the
Timberlands segment. The fair value of the related assets
was primarily based on the agreed upon cash purchase price
of $403 million. On September 1, 2017, we announced the
completion of the sale. Refer to Note 3: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures for further details on the
Uruguayan operations sale.

During 2015, we incurred non-recurring professional services
costs for banking, legal and consulting fees directly attributable
to our merger with Plum Creek. We also incurred restructuring

Additionally, in September 2017, we recognized an
impairment charge of $6 million related to a nonstrategic
asset in our Wood Products segment. The fair value of the

98

asset was determined using the value indicated in a
purchase sale agreement.

•2016 — We reviewed all of our development projects during
2016. As a result, we ceased development and initiated
plans to sell certain projects. We analyzed each of the
projects we ceased development and initiated plans to sell
and determined which had a book value greater than fair
value. We recognized a $15 million impairment charge in
Real Estate & ENR which represents the fair value less direct
selling costs of these projects. The fair values of the projects
were determined using significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) based on broker opinion of value reports.

Our remaining projects did not have any indicators of
impairment; however, we corroborated this evaluation with an
assessment of the undiscounted cash flows for the legacy
Weyerhaeuser projects or noted that projects acquired from
Plum Creek were recorded at estimated fair value when
acquired in 2016.

•2015 — We recognized an impairment charge of $13 million
related to a nonstrategic asset held in Unallocated Items.
The fair value of the asset was determined using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on a discounted cash
flow model. The asset was subsequently sold for no gain
during 2015.

NOTE 18: CHARGES FOR PRODUCT REMEDIATION

In July 2017, we announced we were implementing a solution
to address concerns regarding our TJI® Joists with Flak
Jacket® Protection product. This issue is isolated to Flak
Jacket product manufactured after December 1, 2016, and
does not affect any of our other products. We estimate that
approximately 2,400 homes were affected.

We recorded a liability of $50 million in second quarter 2017
based on the preliminary information that was available at that
time. As remediation work progressed, we obtained additional
information and experience regarding the scope of the required
remediation efforts and associated costs. Accordingly, we
adjusted our liability to account for the higher than originally
expected cost per home for remediation, a modest increase in
the estimated number of homes affected, as well as additional
homebuilder and homeowner reimbursements. We recorded
pretax charges of $190 million and $50 million in the third and
fourth quarters 2017, respectively, to accrue for expected costs
associated with the remediation.

Our charges related to remediation efforts total $290 million for
the period ended December 31, 2017. The charges recorded
are attributable to our Wood Products segment and were
recorded in “Charges for product remediation,” on the
Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of December 31,

2017, $192 million has been paid out in relation to our
remediation efforts. The remaining accrual of $98 million is
recorded in “Accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. The company ultimately expects a significant portion of
the total expense will be covered by insurance, however, as of
the date of these financial statements no amounts related to
potential recoveries have been recorded.

This note provides details about our income taxes applicable to
continuing operations:
•earnings before income taxes,
•provision for income taxes,
•effective income tax rate,
•deferred tax assets and liabilities,
•unrecognized tax benefits and
•our ongoing IRS tax matter.
Income taxes related to discontinued operations are discussed
in Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures.

Accounting Policies provides details about how we account for
our income taxes.

Tax Legislation

On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, commonly known as the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted. The Tax Act

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

99

contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including the
reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to
21 percent. As a result of the reduction in the corporate tax
rate, we have revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities
and have recorded a tax expense of $74 million during 2017,
which reduced our net deferred tax asset. The deemed
repatriation on deferred foreign income provisions does not
impact our operations due to the fact that we have no foreign
undistributed earnings.

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax impact
created by differences between the timing of when income or
deductions are recognized for pretax financial book reporting
purposes versus income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets
represent a future tax benefit (or reduction to income taxes in a
future period), while deferred tax liabilities represent a future
tax obligation (or increase to income taxes in a future period).
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities have been revalued for
the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DEFERRED INCOME TAX
ASSETS (LIABILITIES)

Other information about our deferred income tax assets
(liabilities) include:

•net operating loss and credit carryforwards,
•valuation allowances and
•reinvestment of undistributed earnings.

Net Operating Loss and Credit Carryforwards

Our gross federal, state and foreign net operating loss
carryforwards as of the end of 2017 totaled $1.0 billion as
follows:

•U.S. REIT — $684 million, which expire from 2030 through

2036;

•State — $349 million, which expire from 2018 through

2037; and

•Foreign — none.
Our gross state credit carryforwards at the end of 2017 totaled
$70 million, which includes $22 million that expire from 2018
through 2031 and $48 million that do not expire. Our U.S. TRS
has $6 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire in
2027.

Valuation Allowances

With the exception of the valuation allowance discussed below,
we believe it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient
future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

Our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets was
$63 million at the end of 2017, related to state credits, state
net operating losses and passive foreign tax credits.

Reinvestment of Undistributed Earnings

It is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our
foreign subsidiaries into those respective operations. As such,
we have not made a provision for U.S. income taxes or
additional foreign withholding taxes for potential distribution of
future earnings of our foreign subsidiaries which are
permanently reinvested. As of December 31, 2017, we had no
foreign undistributed earnings.

UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS

Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future obligations
to taxing authorities if uncertain tax positions we have taken on
previously filed tax returns are not sustained. The total gross
amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017,
and 2016, is $4 million and $6 million, of which a net amount
of $2 million and $5 million, respectively, would affect our tax
rate if recognized.

The net liability recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet
related to unrecognized tax benefits is $2 million as of
December 31, 2017, comprised of the $4 million gross
unrecognized tax benefit amount net of $2 million in loss
carryforwards available to offset the liability. The net liability as
of December 31, 2016 was $5 million, comprised of $6 million
gross unrecognized tax benefit amount net of $2 million loss
carryforwards available to offset the liability and includes
$1 million of interest.

In accordance with our accounting policy, we accrue interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. See Note 1: Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.

not expect that the outcome of any examination will have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements;
however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements
are subject to significant uncertainty.

In the next 12 months, we estimate a decrease of $1 million in
unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of applicable
statutes of limitation.

ONGOING IRS MATTER

In connection with the merger with Plum Creek, we acquired
equity interests in Southern Diversified Timber, LLC, a
timberland joint venture (Timberland Venture) with an affiliate of
Campbell Global LLC (TCG Member). On August 31, 2016, the
Timberland Venture redeemed TCG Member’s interest and
became a fully consolidated, wholly-owned subsidiary of
Weyerhaeuser.

We received a Notice of Final Partnership Administrative
Adjustment (FPAA), dated July 20, 2016, from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) in regard to Plum Creek’s 2008 U.S.
federal income tax treatment of the transaction forming the
Timberland Venture. The IRS is asserting that the transfer of the
timberlands to the Timberland Venture was a taxable transaction
to Plum Creek at the time of the transfer rather than a
nontaxable capital contribution. We have filed a petition in the
U.S. Tax Court and will vigorously contest this adjustment.

In the event that we are unsuccessful in this tax litigation, we
could be required to recognize and distribute gain to
shareholders of approximately $600 million and pay built-in
gains tax of approximately $100 million. We would also be
required to pay interest on both of those amounts, which would
be substantial. As much as 80 percent of any such gain
distribution could be made with our common stock, and
shareholders would be subject to tax on the distribution at the
applicable capital gains tax rate. Alternatively, we could elect to
retain the gain and pay corporate-level tax to minimize interest
costs to the company.

Although the outcome of this process cannot be predicted with
certainty, we are confident in our position based on U.S. tax law
and believe we will be successful in defending it. Accordingly,
no reserve has been recorded related to this matter.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES

The company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls
are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the
company’s management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation, the company’s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the
company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed complies with
the SEC’s rules and forms.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL

During 2017, we integrated the acquired Plum Creek operations
into our overall internal controls over financial reporting. No
changes occurred in the company’s internal control over
financial reporting during the period that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Weyerhaeuser Company:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Weyerhaeuser Company and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated
February 16, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
