ITEM 15.

OUR BUSINESS
We are one of the world’s largest private owners of
timberlands. We own or control 12.2 million acres of
timberlands 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 growing and 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 and solar 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 manufacture and distribute high-quality
wood products, including structural lumber, oriented strand
board (OSB), engineered wood products and other specialty
products. These products are primarily supplied to the
residential, multi-family, industrial, light commercial and repair
and remodel markets. We operate 35 manufacturing facilities in
the United States and Canada.

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

Sustainability and citizenship are part of our core values. In
addition to practicing sustainable forestry, we focus on
increasing energy and resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, reducing water consumption, conserving natural
resources and offering sustainable products that meet our
customers’ needs. We operate with world class safety results,
actively support the communities in which we operate and strive
to communicate transparently with our investors and other
stakeholders. We are the only North American forest products
company included on the Dow Jones Sustainability North America
Index, and we also are recognized for our leading performance in
the areas of ethics, citizenship and gender equality.

In 2018, we generated $7.5 billion in net sales 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, 2018.

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
(annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q),
current reports on Form 8-K, 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 — and
amendments to these reports and statements 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 (free of charge) — www.weyerhaeuser.com.
When we file the information electronically with the SEC, it also
is posted to our website.

WHO WE ARE

We were incorporated as Weyerhaeuser Timber Company 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 our timberlands, including gains from the
sales of our standing timber and rent from recreational leases.
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
segments.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

OUR EMPLOYEES

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 22: Geographic Areas in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 — Deliver maximum timber value from every

acre we own or manage.

•Real Estate & ENR — Deliver premiums to timberland 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.

2

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 10: 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 12.2 million acres of
private commercial timberlands in the U.S. We own 11.4 million
of those acres and control the remaining acres through long-
term contracts. 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 2018.

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 trees grow to maturity;
•harvests trees to be converted into lumber, wood products,

pellets, pulp and paper;

•manages the health of our forests to sustainably maximize

harvest volumes, minimize risks, and protect unique
environmental, cultural, historical and recreational value; and

•offers recreational access.
We seek to maximize the returns from our timberlands by
selling delivered logs and through stumpage sales to both
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. We use our scale, infrastructure and supply
chain expertise to deliver reliable and consistent supply to our
customers.

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 prices. Our customers also value our status as a
Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) certified supplier.

Sustainable Forestry Practices

We manage our forests intensively to maximize the value of
every 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
values. 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
100 percent of our North American timberlands under the 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 pellets.

Timber

Standing timber is sold to third parties through
stumpage sales.

Recreational leases

Timberlands are leased or permitted for
recreational purposes.

Other products

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

(1) Our Uruguayan operations were divested on September 1, 2017. Refer to Note 4:

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; and
•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 Timberlands volumes in ton equivalents.

WHERE WE DO IT

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

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

Washington);

•6.9 million acres in the southern U.S. (Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia); and
•2.4 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
contracted land — is approximately 626 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.

(1) Acres include all conservation and non-harvestable areas.

We provide a year-round flow of logs to internal and external
customers. We sell grade and fiber logs to manufacturers that
produce a diverse range of products. We also sell standing
timber to third parties and lease land for recreational purposes.
Our timberlands are generally well located to take advantage of
road, logging and transportation systems for efficient delivery of
logs to customers.

Western United States

Our Western timberlands are well situated to serve the wood
products and pulp markets in Oregon and Washington.
Additionally, our location on the West Coast provides access to
higher-value export markets for Douglas fir and whitewood logs
to Japan, China and Korea. Our largest export market is Japan,
where Douglas fir is the preferred species for higher-valued
post and beam homebuilding. The size and quality of our
Western timberlands, coupled with their proximity to several
deep-water port facilities, competitively positions us to meet
the needs of Pacific Rim log markets. For the year ended

4

December 31, 2018, we sold 24 percent of our total western
log sales volume internally.

Our holdings are composed primarily of Douglas fir, a species
highly valued for its structural strength, stiffness and visual
appearance. Most of our lands are located on the west side of
the Cascade Mountain Range with soil and rainfall conditions
considered favorable for growing this species. Approximately
80 percent of our lands are in established Douglas fir
plantations. Our remaining holdings include a mix of whitewood
and hardwood.

Our management systems and supply chain expertise provide
us a competitive operating advantage in a number of areas
including forestry and research, harvesting, marketing, and
logistics. Additionally, our scale, diversity of timberlands
ownership and infrastructure on the West Coast allow us to
consistently and reliably supply logs to our internal and external
customers year-round.

The average age of timber harvested from our Western
timberlands in 2018 was 51 years. In accordance with our
sustainable forestry practices, we harvest approximately
2 percent of our Western acreage each year.

Southern United States

Our Southern timberland ownership, covering 11 states, is well
situated to serve domestic wood products and pulp markets,
including third-party customers and our own mills. For the year
ended December 31, 2018, we sold 24 percent of our total
southern log sales volume internally. Additionally, our Atlantic
and Gulf coastal locations position us to serve a developing
Asian log export market. Our holdings are comprised of
76 percent Southern yellow pine and 24 percent hardwoods.

We intensively manage our Southern timber plantations using:

•forestry research and planning systems to optimize log

production,

We sell recreational use permits covering approximately
2 million acres of our owned Western timberlands.

•customized silviculture prescriptions which increase

productivity across our acreage and

2018 Western U.S. Inventory by Species

•innovative planting and harvesting techniques on varying

Southern terrain.

Operationally, we focus on efficiently harvesting and hauling
logs from our ownership and capitalizing on our scale and
supply chain expertise to consistently and reliably serve a broad
range of customers through seasonal and weather-related
events year-round.

HARDWOOD

Note: Inventory charted encompasses all conservation and non-harvestable areas.

The average age of timber harvested from our Southern
timberlands in 2018 was 31 years. In accordance with our
sustainable forestry practices, we harvest approximately
3 percent of our acreage each year in the South.

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. We grow over 50
species and market over 600 product grades to a diverse mix
of customers.

Our large-diameter cherry, red oak and hard maple saw logs
and veneer logs serve domestic and export furniture markets.
Our maple and other appearance woods are used in 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 rates, for nearly 83 percent of
our hardwood pulp production.

We also grow softwood logs that supply our Montana medium
density fiberboard (MDF), lumber and plywood mills and other
customers. Our competitive advantages include a
merchandising program to capture the value of the premium
hardwood logs.

Regeneration is predominantly natural, augmented by planting
where appropriate.

The average age of timber harvested from our Northern
timberlands in 2018 was 62 years. Timber harvested in the
North is sold predominantly as delivered logs to domestic mills,
including our manufacturing facilities located in Montana and
West Virginia. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold
13 percent of our total northern log sales volume internally. In
accordance with our sustainable forestry practices, we harvest
approximately 1 percent of our acreage each year in the North.

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, 2018,
our AAC by province was:

•Alberta — 2,914 thousand tons,
•British Columbia — 547 thousand tons,
•Ontario — 154 thousand tons and
•Saskatchewan — 634 thousand tons.
When the volume is harvested, we pay the province for that
volume at stumpage rates set by the government. The

Log Sales Volume

Our sales volume includes fee timber, as well as logs
purchased in the open market. Domestic and export logs are
sold at market prices to both unaffiliated customers and our
internal mills.

Our log sales volumes to unaffiliated customers over the last
two years were:

•28,250 thousand tons in 2018 and
•29,420 thousand tons in 2017.
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.

Log prices are affected by the supply of and demand for grade
and fiber logs. Export log prices are particularly affected by the
Japanese housing market and Chinese demand.

WHERE WE’RE HEADED

Our competitive strategies include:
•continuing to capitalize on our scale of operations, silviculture

and supply chain expertise and sustainability practices;

•improving cash flow through operational excellence initiatives
including merchandising for value, harvest and transportation
efficiencies as well as focused silviculture investments to
improve forest productivity;

•leveraging our export and domestic market access,
infrastructure and strong customer relationships;

•increasing our recreational lease revenue; and
•continuing to maximize the value of our timberlands portfolio
by managing the acres with the highest and 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 and solar resources.

WHAT WE DO

Real Estate

Properties that exhibit higher use value than as commercial
timberlands are monetized by our Real Estate business over
time. We analyze our existing U.S. timberland holdings using a

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

9

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 realize a premium value
to commercial timberland. Attributes can evolve over time, and
accordingly, the assignment of value and opportunity can
change. We continually revisit our AVO assessment of all of our
timberland acres.

These properties are acres we expect to sell for recreational,
conservation, commercial or residential purposes over time. We
will entitle a small amount of acres to support development.
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, and 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.

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 development or operations but instead enter into
contracts with operators granting them the rights to explore and
sell energy and 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,

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

•rental payments from, or sale of, communication, energy and

transportation rights of way; and

•the occasional sale of mineral assets.
10

We generally reserve mineral rights when selling timberlands
acreage. Some Energy and Natural Resources activities are
conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary.

•Ground leases and easements are granted to
wind and solar developers to generate
renewable electricity from our timberlands.
•Rights are granted to access and utilize
timberland acreage for communications,
pipeline, powerline and transportation rights of
way.

WHERE WE DO IT

Our Real Estate business identifies opportunities to realize
premium value for our U.S. owned 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).

Wood Products Prices

Prices for commodity wood products — Structural lumber, OSB
and Plywood — increased in 2018 from 2017.

In general, the following factors influence sales realizations for
wood products:

•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, availability of labor and lots,
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 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.

Revenues of our Wood Products segment come from sales to
wood products dealers, do-it-yourself retailers, builders and
industrial users. Wood Products net sales were $5.3 billion in
2018 and $5.0 billion in 2017.

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 in Canada 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, including
but not limited to:

•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, 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
2019 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 their
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

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

15

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
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 2019, and any additional information on
potential effects 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 2019 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.

FOREST CERTIFICATION STANDARDS

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 reduction of our timber harvests in
some areas. There is also 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

16

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.

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 regulations and programs have not had,
and in 2019 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.

CANADIAN ABORIGINAL RIGHTS

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
•effect on 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
2019, 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.

•we may have been named as a potentially responsible party
for contaminated sites, including those 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
•number and economic viability of the other responsible

parties.

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,
•lower costs and improve efficiency,
•improve reliability,
•increase capacity,
•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 and

We spent approximately $13 million in 2018 and expect to
spend approximately $6 million in 2019 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 $62 million. Based on currently available
information and analysis, remediation costs for all identified
sites may exceed our existing reserves by up to $126 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 and/or monitoring 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
requires EPA to re-issue certain of the emissions standards.
Some of these re-issued emissions standards will be applicable
to a small number of our wood products mills. Because we do
not know specifically 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 effect on

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

17

regulatory compliance costs at our mills. We do not expect any
material expenditures in 2019 necessary to comply with MACT
standards.

The EPA must still promulgate supplemental MACT standards
for plywood, lumber and composite wood products facilities.

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 proposed a new regulation in 2016 to set
thresholds for when the greenhouse gas technology
requirements apply if the non-greenhouse gas emissions trigger
the rule in the first instance. EPA to date has not finalized this
regulation. The effect 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, supplemental regulations related to how states and
federal agencies may implement the requirements finalized in
2015. Subsequent actions include in 2016 a US Supreme
Court stay of the 2015 rule pending resolution of lower court
challenges to the rule, in 2017 the withdrawal by EPA of the
proposed supplemental regulations and a proposal to rescind
the 2015 final rule, and in 2018 an EPA proposal of a
substantially different replacement rule. Depending on the final
outcomes, this regulatory program potentially will have indirect
effects 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 continue to track and evaluate the litigation and
regulatory development but are not able to predict whether the
regulations, when complete and implemented, will have a
material effect 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 effect of these greenhouse gas and
biomass rules, as well as recent court decisions, on our
operations remains uncertain.

18

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

•reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately
44 percent considering changes in the asset portfolio
according to 2017 data, compared to our 2000 baseline.

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

•policy proposals by federal or state governments regarding

regulation of greenhouse gas emissions,

•Congressional legislation regulating or taxing 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 2019 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.

able to predict the ultimate resolution of these pending legal
and regulatory actions.

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, including ours.

All Canadian provincial governments:

•have greenhouse gas reporting requirements,
•are working on reduction strategies and
•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 2019 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, but was
dissolved in 2018 due to action by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Other injunctions still block the rule in several states. In
January 2018, federal agencies took regulatory action to further
delay the 2015 rules from going into effect until February 2020;
however, that action was enjoined in September 2018 by a
South Carolina court. Challenges to the substance of the 2015
rule are being pursued in other pending cases challenging the
2015 rules. Meanwhile, the federal agencies have proposed
repeal of the 2015 rules entirely and replacement of them with
a new rule, which is now open for public comment. We are not

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.

In addition, in 2013, amendments to the Canadian Federal
Fisheries Act came into force. These amendments changed the
focus from habitat protection to fisheries protection and
increased 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 effect, if any, on our operations.

We believe the above developments have not had, and in 2019
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

•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.

RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks and events that could adversely
affect our business, our financial condition, our results of
operations, our cash flows and the price of our common stock.

You should consider the following risk factors, in addition to the
information presented elsewhere in this report, particularly in
Our Business — Who We Are, Our Business — What We 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

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.

MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS

HOMEBUILDING MARKET AND ECONOMIC RISKS

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 affect 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 enhanced by tax cuts passed in 2018, the
effect of which may be adversely affected by increases in
interest rates and other factors in 2019. Global economic
conditions reflect volatile and sporadic growth in emerging
countries and uncertainty over international trade. 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

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 continued through 2018.
The number and extent of further rate increases is uncertain.

Credit requirements were severely tightened, and the number of
mortgage loans available for financing home purchases were

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

21

severely reduced, during the most recent recession and
ensuing credit crisis. Although the availability of credit has
improved modestly 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 significant 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 any
disruptions in the availability of transportation or increases in
transportation costs could materially adversely affect our
business and operations.

Our business depends heavily on the availability of third-party
service providers for the transportation of our 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 effect 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.

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 and wood fiber to our customers 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 materially
adverse effects 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,
availability of logging contractors and other factors beyond our
control.

22

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 affect 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 effect 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 12.2 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 execute 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

grows, demand for and pricing of our products could be
adversely affected.

A material disruption at one of our manufacturing facilities
could prevent us from meeting customer demand, reduce our
sales, and 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;
•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 or transportation infrastructure,
including roads, bridges, rail, tunnels, shipping and port
facilities;

•terrorism or threats of terrorism;
•cyber attack;
•governmental regulations; and
•other operational problems.
We cannot predict the duration of any such downtime or extent
of facility damage. If one of our facilities or machines were to
incur significant downtime, our ability to meet our production
targets and satisfy customer demand could be impaired,
resulting in lower sales and income. Additionally, we may be
required to make significant unplanned capital expenditures.
Although some risks are not insurable and some coverage is
limited, we purchase insurance on our manufacturing facilities
for damage from fires, floods, windstorms, earthquakes,
equipment failures and boiler explosions. Such insurance may
not be sufficient to recover all of our damages.

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

Our products 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 our wood products 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 or other alternative products

24

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. Some of our wood products, such as
lumber, veneer, plywood and oriented strand board, are
commodities and are subject to fluctuations in market pricing. If
pricing on our commodity products decreases and if we are not
successful in increasing sales of higher-priced, higher-value
products, or if we are not successful in implementing price
increases, or there are delays in acceptance of price increases
or 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.

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 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 any of our competitors are more
successful with respect to any key competitive factor, our ability
to attract and retain customers and maintain and increase
sales 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 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.

We have adopted the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)
standard for wood fiber supplied to our manufacturing facilities,
both from our timberlands and from third-party suppliers. 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 customer
preference for a sustainability standard other than SFI
increases, or if the SFI standard falls into disfavor, 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.

RISKS RELATED TO CAPITAL MARKETS

CAPITAL MARKETS

have an adverse effect 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

Access to capital required for our operations may be costly or
impaired.

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 effect 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
access capital for our operating needs, capital expenditures
and other cash requirements on acceptable economic terms, or
at all, we could experience a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.

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

FOREIGN CURRENCY

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
effects, 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

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, yuan 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,

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

25

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
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 effects, if they occur, and governmental initiatives, laws
and regulations to address potential climate concerns, could
increase our costs and have a long-term adverse effect on our
businesses and results of operations. Future legislation or
regulatory activity in this area remains uncertain, and its effect
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 effects
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 effect on our results of operations and profitability.

•forestry operations and endangered species habitat

protection,

•surface water management,
•the storage, usage, 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
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.

26

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 15: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies and Note 20: Income Taxes in the 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), the net income of which is subject to
corporate-level tax, because such activities could generate
non-qualifying REIT income and thus 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. However, if the IRS were to
successfully assert that these or any of our activities conducted
at the REIT constituted prohibited transactions, we could be
subject to the 100 percent tax on the net income from such
activities.

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

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

27

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 or tariffs on our
exported products or countervailing and anti-dumping duties
or tariffs 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.

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
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 effect on our business.

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.

28

OTHER RISKS

CYBERSECURITY

We rely on information technology to support our operations
and reporting environments. A security failure of that
technology could affect our ability to operate our businesses
effectively, adversely affect our reported financial results,
affect 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, our business
operations could be negatively affected. Additionally, 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

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 10: Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the 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 effect 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.

Investment returns on our pension assets may be lower than
expected, or interest rates may decline, requiring us to make
significant additional cash contributions to our benefit plans.

WORKFORCE

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 affect 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

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.

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.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 15: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies and Note 21: Income Taxes in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of legal
proceedings.

Availability of Independent Contractors

We use independent third-party contract loggers and haulers to
deliver our logs to our customers. As a result of the weak
business conditions in the timber business that persisted for
several years, there are fewer of these contractors available in
certain markets to harvest and deliver logs. This shortage in
logging and hauling contractors has resulted in an overall
increase in logging and hauling costs and, in some cases, the
general availability of these contractors. Any increase in harvest
levels due to positive changes in macroeconomic conditions
driving demand for logs could further strain the existing supply
of logging and hauling contractors. This, in turn, could increase
the cost of log supply and delivery, or prevent us from fully
capitalizing on favorable market conditions by limiting our ability
to access and deliver our logs to market.

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

•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;
•market interest rates and the relative yields on other

financial instruments;

•general perceptions and expectations regarding housing

markets, interest rates, commodity prices, and currencies;
•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 shareholders;

•sales or repurchases of substantial amounts of common

stock;

•changes in accounting principles; and

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 grade logs within our Timberlands segment is
directly affected by production levels of domestic wood-based
building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market
strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as
does repair and remodeling activity. Our Timberlands segment,
specifically the Western region, is also affected by export
demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key
driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood
from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the
production of pulp, paper and OSB as well as the demand for
biofuels, such as pellets made from pulpwood.

Due to the partial government shutdown that occurred through
late January 2019, full-year 2018 housing data is unavailable,
however, for the January 2018 through November 2018 period,
housing starts were 1.18 million total units, which is 5 percent
above the total of 1.12 units for the same period in 2017
according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Single family units
totaled 825 thousand compared to 794 thousand in 2017, a
4 percent increase. Multifamily starts were 354 thousand units
for the first 11 months of 2018, which is 8 percent higher than
2017 for the same period. We continue to expect improving
U.S. housing starts and anticipate a level of approximately
1.30 million units in 2019 which would be a 3 percent gain
over 2018, assuming the year to date gains continue into
December. We attribute this continued improvement primarily to
ongoing employment growth, strong consumer confidence and

34

mortgage rates, which have stabilized and declined since
peaking in late 2018 and remain affordable on a historic basis.

According to the Joint Center for Housing of Harvard University,
the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) projects that
the year-over-year increase in residential remodeling
expenditures reached 7.2 percent in 2018 and is expected to
average 6.5 percent in 2019, with expenditure growth tapering
through the year and reaching the long term average level of
5.2 percent in the fourth quarter 2019.

In U.S. wood product markets, prices in 2018 were mixed,
rising the first half of the year to post record levels in May and
June, only to fall sharply in third and fourth quarter 2018, as
supply issues related to transportation eased and producers
increased output in response to high prices. According to
Random Lengths, the framing lumber composite averaged
$459/MBF in 2018, an 11 percent increase over 2017.
According to Forest Economic Advisors, LLC, U.S. lumber
consumption is expected to grow at a 3.5 percent rate in 2019,
however, due to declines forecast in off-shore export volumes
and increases in off-shore imports, the increase in overall
demand on North American mills is expected to rise by
2.5 percent over 2018. Log markets in the west were
consistent with wood products manufacturing, exhibiting strong
demand and pricing in the first half followed by slower demand
and weaker market prices for western logs in the second half of
2018. In the south, log supplies kept pace with demand,
leaving prices flat throughout 2018.

Log inventories in Chinese ports decreased 0.9 percent in
December 2018 compared to November 2018 as reported by
International Wood Markets China Bulletin. While the decline in
overall volume was slight, there was a greater decline in North
American Hemlock and Douglas fir volumes. These species
were 5.9 percent lower in December 2018 compared to
November 2018 which has positive implications for demand at
the start of 2019 as suppliers will need to re-build depleted
inventories. Total North American volumes increased in 2018
by 3 percent over 2017 despite retaliatory tariffs imposed by
the Chinese government against U.S. imports. In addition,
exchange rates also have an effect on our export business to
China. A weaker yuan relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the
competitiveness of U.S. logs relative to those imported from
other countries whose currencies have not appreciated in a
similar manner. During 2018, the yuan weakened relative to the
U.S. dollar, which affects the competitiveness of our export
logs to China.

In Japan, housing starts for November year to date for 2018
were down 2.7 percent from the same period in 2017 while the
key Post and Beam segment was 0.8 percent lower in the first
11 months of 2018 compared to 2017.

We expect demand from China and Japan in 2019 to be similar
to demand experienced in 2018.

Our Real Estate & ENR 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 (RLI) of the

National Association of Realtors, the dollar volume of rural
properties sold, including timber, grew 2 percent in 2018, and
per acre prices were also up 2 percent on average. Additionally,
RLI expects these trends to continue with prices and volumes
of land transactions forecast to rise 3 percent in 2019.

SOFTWOOD LUMBER AGREEMENT

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We operate a total of 19 softwood lumber mills with a total
capacity of approximately 5 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.

In April 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a
preliminary determination that it would implement
countervailing duties (CVD) on Canadian softwood lumber
shipments to the U.S at the rate of 19.88 percent with a 90
day retroactive period. The preliminary countervailing duties
were suspended in August 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 reached its final determination of injury,
which was issued in December 2017.

In June 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a
preliminary determination that it would implement anti-dumping
duties (AD) on Canadian softwood lumber shipments to the
U.S. at the rate of 6.87 percent with a 90 day retroactive
period.

Affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (DOC) and the US International Trade Commission
(USITC) in December 2017 issued CVD and AD duty orders on
certain softwood lumber products from Canada. Based on
these determinations, the CVD rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser
is 14.19 percent and is assessed on entries of softwood
lumber from Canada for consumption on or after April 28,
2017. The AD rate applicable to Weyerhaeuser is 6.04 percent
and is assessed on entries of softwood lumber from Canada for
consumption on or after June 30, 2017.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31,
2017, we have expensed CVD and AD duties at the final
published rates totaling $21 million and $7 million,
respectively. These costs are recorded in “Costs of sales”
within the Wood Products segment.

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 affected
the comparability of our consolidated operating results with
2016. Our results do not include pre-merger results of Plum
Creek operations from January 1, 2016 through February 19,
2016.

COMPARING 2018 WITH 2017

Net Sales

Net sales increased $280 million — 4 percent — primarily due
to:

•Wood Products segment net sales to unaffiliated customers
increased $281 million, primarily attributable to increased
sales realizations across all product lines; and

•Real Estate & ENR segment net sales to unaffiliated

customers increased $26 million primarily attributable to
increased acres sold.

These increases were offset by a decrease in Timberlands
segment net sales to unaffiliated customers by $27 million,
primarily attributable to decreased revenue resulting from the
divestiture of our Uruguayan operations in third quarter 2017,
partially offset by an increase in Western log sales realizations.

Costs of Sales

Costs of sales increased $294 million — 6 percent — primarily
due to increased log and fiber costs within our Wood Products
and Timberlands segments as well as an increase in acres sold
coupled with higher per acre basis of real estate sold within our
Real Estate and ENR segment. Refer to additional analysis of
fluctuations within our Timberlands, Real Estate, Energy and
Natural Resources and Wood Products discussion below.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $263 million — 23 percent —
primarily due to:

•$290 million decrease in charges for product remediation;

and

•$147 million decrease in charges related to a noncash

pretax impairment in 2017, with no similar charges in 2018.
This impairment was a result of our agreement to sell our
Uruguayan operations, as announced during June 2017 (refer
to Note 18: Charges for Integration and Restructuring,
Closures and Asset Impairments in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

These increases were partially offset by the following:

•$99 million gain recorded in fourth quarter 2017 that did not
occur in 2018 as a result of the sale of land in our Southern
timberlands region to Twin Creeks (refer to Note 9: Related
Parties in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further details);

•$37 million decrease in environmental remediation insurance

recoveries received; and

•$14 million decreased consolidated gross margin, as

described above.

Net Earnings Attributable to Weyerhaeuser Common
Shareholders

Net earnings attributable to Weyerhaeuser common
shareholders increased $166 million — 29 percent — primarily
due to:
•a $263 million increase to operating income, as described

above;

•a $75 million decrease in income tax expense; and
•an $18 million decrease in interest expense, net of

capitalized interest.

These increases to net earnings were partially offset by a
$200 million decrease due to a noncash pretax settlement
charge related to our U.S. qualified pension plan lump sum
offer (refer to Note 10: Pension and Other Postretirement
Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements)

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales

Net sales increased $831 million — 13 percent — primarily
due to:
•Wood Products 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 4: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details
regarding these divestitures.

•Timberlands 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 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 Sales

Costs of sales increased $318 million — 6 percent — primarily
due to increased sales volumes within our Wood Products
segment, as described above. Refer to additional analysis of
fluctuations within our Timberlands, Real Estate, Energy and
Natural Resources and Wood Products discussion below.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

Operating Income

Operating income increased $309 million — 38 percent —
primarily due to:
•an increase to 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 9: 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 20: Other Operating Costs (Income), Net 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 (recoveries) for

product remediation, net in 2017, as there were no similar
charges during 2016. Refer to Note 19: Charges (Recoveries)
for Product Remediation, Net 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 18: 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 2017 WITH 2016

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Customers

Net Sales — Unaffiliated Customers

Net sales to unaffiliated customers decreased $27 million —
1 percent — primarily due to the following:

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

•$63 million decreased net sales resulting from the

divestiture of our Uruguayan operations in third quarter 2017;

•$18 million decreased net sales primarily attributable to
lower sales volumes resulting from the termination of our
management agreement for the Twin Creeks Venture in
fourth quarter 2017; and

•$17 million decreased net sales from Other products sold.
These decreases were partially offset by a $72 million increase
in Western log sales attributable to a 13 percent increase in
Western log sales realizations, partially offset by a 4 percent
decrease in delivered logs sales volumes.

Intersegment Sales

Intersegment sales increased $40 million — 5 percent —
primarily due to an increase in Western log sales realizations,
as explained above.

Costs of Sales

Costs of sales increased $9 million — less than 1 percent —
primarily due to increased sourcing costs, driving a $96 million
increase in the West, an $18 million increase in our Canadian
operations and a $6 million increase in the South.

The increases were partially offset by a $109 million decrease
in costs of sales from our Uruguayan operations, which were
divested in third quarter 2017, and the termination of our
management agreement for the Twin Creeks Venture in fourth
quarter 2017. Refer to Note 4: Discontinued Operations and
Other Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased
$51 million — 10 percent — primarily due to a $147 million
noncash pretax impairment charge recorded in 2017 (no similar
charge was recorded in 2018). This impairment was a result of
our agreement to sell our Uruguayan operations, as announced
during June 2017 (refer to Note 18: Charges for Integration and
Restructuring, Closures and Asset Impairments in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

This was partially offset by a $99 million gain in 2017 as a
result of the sale of land in our Southern timberlands region to
Twin Creeks, with no similar gain recorded in 2018 (refer to
Note 9: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details).

•a $50 million increase in Southern log sales attributable to a
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 4: 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 4: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information on these
divestitures.

Costs of Sales

Costs of sales 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 4:
Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details; and

•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.

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,
40

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; and

•a $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 Sales

Costs of sales 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.

•$21 million increased engineered solid section attributable to
an 8 percent increase in average sales realizations, partially
offset by a 3 percent decrease in sales volumes; and
•$12 million increased other products produced due to a

4 percent increase in chip sales.

These increases were partially offset by a $13 million decrease
in oriented strand board sales primarily attributable to a
5 percent decrease in sales volumes, partially offset by a
4 percent increase in average sales realizations.

As described in Economic and Market Conditions Affecting Our
Operations, pricing for wood products, especially within the
structural lumber and oriented strand board product lines, has
experienced heightened volatility during 2018. The sales
realizations discussed above reflect full year averages for each
period.

Costs of Sales

Costs of sales increased $306 million — 8 percent — primarily
attributable to increased log and fiber costs across all product
lines in the West and Canada.

Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings

Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased
$269 million — 47 percent — primarily due to a $290 million
decrease in charges for product remediation. See Note 19:
Charges (Recoveries) for Product Remediation, Net in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

This increase was partially offset by the change in gross

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 4: 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

UNALLOCATED ITEMS

Unallocated Items are gains or charges related to company
level initiatives or previous businesses that are not allocated to
our current business segments. They include a portion of items
such as:

•share-based compensation,

Costs of sales 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 (recoveries) for product
remediation, net in 2017, as there were no similar charges
during 2016 (refer to Note 19: Charges (Recoveries) for
Product Remediation, Net 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 18: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset
Impairments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further detail.

Unallocated Items in 2018 include:

INCOME TAXES

•an increase in non-operating pension and other

postretirement benefit credits (costs) primarily due to a
pension settlement charge related to our U.S. qualified
pension plan (refer to Note 10: Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements ) — $200 million; and

•an increase in other related to charges during first quarter

2018 for environmental remediation (refer to Note 15: Legal
Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements) — $28 million.

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.

as an increase in the amortization of actuarial losses —
$110 million;

•a benefit in other primarily related to environmental

Unallocated Items in 2016 include:

•charges recognized in 2016 related to our merger with Plum

Creek (refer to Note 18: Charges for Integration and

•an increase in unallocated corporate function expenses

primarily as a result of retaining costs allocated to our former
Cellulose Fibers segment — $23 million; and

•a gain related to the sale of our Federal Way, Washington
headquarters campus, which is recorded in other operating
costs (income), net in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations – $36 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

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

•$375 million in 2018,
•$393 million in 2017 and
•$431 million in 2016.
Interest expense decreased by $18 million in 2018 as
compared to 2017 primarily due to a decrease in the average
outstanding long-term and current debt balance in 2018
compared to 2017.

The table below summarizes the items of tax preference for
alternative minimum tax (AMT) purposes which have been

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 (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
revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities and recorded a
tax expense of $74 million during 2017, which reduced our net
deferred tax asset.

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes for our continuing
operations over the last three years was:

•$59 million in 2018,
•$134 million in 2017 and
•$89 million in 2016.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

During 2018, we recorded a $41 million tax benefit related to
contributions made to our pension plan and deducted on our
2017 U.S. federal tax return and a $21 million tax charge
related to a tax settlement charge.

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.

See also Note 21: Income Taxes in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which outlines the major components
related to our income tax provision.

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:
•$1,112 million in 2018,
•$1,201 million in 2017 and
•$735 million in 2016 (includes continuing and discontinued

operations).

COMPARING 2018 WITH 2017

Net cash provided by our operations decreased $89 million,
primarily due to $303 million increased pension and
postretirement contributions and benefit payments, which is
primarily related to the $300 million voluntary contribution to our
U.S. qualified pension plan in third quarter 2018 (refer to Note
10: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).

This increased cash outflow was offset by a $96 million
decrease in cash used for product remediation efforts (refer to
Note 19: Charges (Recoveries) for Product Remediation, Net in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) as well as
increased cash provided by business operations.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

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

44

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

corresponding with our decreased average indebtedness
during 2017 compared to 2016; and

•increased cash flows from our business segments.
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 19: Charges (Recoveries)
for Product Remediation, Net in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

Pension Contributions and Benefit Payments Made and
Expected

During 2018, we contributed a total of $381 million to our
pension and postretirement plans, including a voluntary
contribution of $300 million to our U.S. qualified plan. For
2019, we expect to contribute approximately $59 million to our
pension and postretirement benefit plans. Refer to Note 10:
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

INVESTING IN OUR BUSINESS

Cash from investing activities includes:

•acquisitions of property, equipment, timberlands and

reforestation and

•proceeds from sale of assets and operations.
Consolidated net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
was:

•$(440) million in 2018,
•$367 million in 2017 and
•$2,559 million in 2016 (includes continuing and

discontinued operations).

COMPARING 2018 WITH 2017

Net cash from investing activities decreased by $807
million primarily due to:

•$403 million decrease in proceeds received from the

divestiture of our Uruguay operations in 2017 as there was
no similar transaction in 2018 (refer to Note 4: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details);

•$203 million decrease in proceeds received from the sale of
Southern timberlands, as there was no similar transaction in
2018 (refer to Note 9: Related Parties in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details);

•$108 million decrease in proceeds received from our

redeemed 21 percent ownership interest in the Twin Creeks
Venture, as there was no similar transaction in 2018 (refer to
Note 9: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further details);

•$57 million cash outflow for acquisitions of timberlands

during 2018; and

•$22 million decrease in proceeds received from sales of

nonstrategic assets.

We expect our net capital expenditures for 2019 to be
approximately $400 million. The amount we spend on capital
expenditures could change due to:

•future economic conditions,
•environmental regulations,
•changes in the composition of our business,
•weather and
•timing of equipment purchases.

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

FINANCING

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 in 2017 —$403 million (refer to Note 4:
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 9: 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 9: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further details); and

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

•proceeds from stock offerings and option exercises and
•payments for cash dividends and repurchasing stock.
Consolidated net cash used in financing activities was:

•$1,162 million in 2018,
•$1,420 million in 2017 and
•$3,630 million in 2016 (includes continuing and

discontinued operations).

COMPARING 2018 WITH 2017

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $258 million in
2018, primarily due to the following:

•$769 million decrease in cash paid for long-term debt; and
•$425 million increase in net cash received related to

borrowings on our line of credit. No borrowings on our line of
credit were paid in 2018.

These were offset by the following:

•$366 million cash used to repurchase common shares in

2018 with no similar activity in 2017;

•$225 million cash proceeds from issuance of long-term debt

received in 2017 with no similar activity in 2018;

•$209 million payments on debt held by variable interest

entities in 2018;

•$76 million decreased cash received from exercise of stock

options; and

•$54 million increased cash used for payment of dividends.
See Note 13: Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information about the long-term
debt discussed above.

Refer to Note 9: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information regarding the nonrecourse
debt held by our Variable Interest Entities (VIEs).

COMPARING 2017 WITH 2016

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

LONG-TERM DEBT

Our consolidated long-term debt (including current portion) was:
•$5.9 billion as of December 31, 2018,
•$6.0 billion as of December 31, 2017, and
•$6.6 billion as of December 31, 2016.
The decrease in our long-term debt during 2018 is attributable
to the payment of our $62 million 7.00 percent debenture at
maturity.

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 repaid 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.

We have $500 million of long-term debt scheduled to mature
during fourth quarter 2019.

See Note 13: Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information about the long-term
debt discussed above.

Refer to Note 9: Related Parties in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information regarding the nonrecourse
debt held by our Variable Interest Entities (VIEs).

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

During March 2017, we entered into a $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.
Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates

46

mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending
banks. As of December 31, 2018, we had $425 million of
outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility and had
an additional $1,075 million available. There were no
borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2017. We were in
compliance with the revolving credit facility covenants as of
December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Weyerhaeuser 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 debt-to-total-capital 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, 2018, Weyerhaeuser Company had:

•a defined total adjusted shareholders’ equity of $9.9 billion

and

•a defined debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39.09 percent.
Bank and private note 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, 2017, we excluded the full
amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss
of $1,562 million. When calculating compliance in accordance
with financial debt covenants as of December 31, 2018, we
excluded the full amount of accumulated other comprehensive
loss of $1,152 million. See Note 16: Shareholder’s Interest in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

There are no other significant financial debt covenants related to
our third-party debt. See Note 12: 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. There were no changes to our credit ratings in 2018.

•$52 million in 2018,
•$128 million in 2017 and
•$61 million in 2016.
Our average stock price was $33.30, $33.61 and $30.01 in
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

DIVIDENDS

We paid cash dividends on common shares of:

•$995 million in 2018,
•$941 million in 2017 and
•$932 million in 2016.
Changes in the amount of dividends we paid were primarily due
to:

•an increase in our quarterly dividend from 32 cents per share

to 34 cents per share in third quarter 2018; and

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

to 32 cents per share in fourth quarter 2017.

We paid cash dividends on preference shares of $22 million in
2016. 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 or 2018. See Note 16:
Shareholder’s 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.

SHARE REPURCHASES

We repurchased 11 million shares for $366 million (including
transaction fees) during the year ended December 31, 2018,
under the 2016 Share Repurchase Authorization. We did not
repurchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2017.
There were no unsettled repurchases as of December 31,
2018. For information on share repurchases during 2018, see

(3) Amounts presented for interest payments assume that all long-term debt obligations
outstanding as of December 31, 2018, will remain outstanding until maturity, and
interest rates on variable-rate debt in effect as of December 31, 2018, will remain in
effect until maturity.

(4) 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.

(5) 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 2019. Estimated
payments of contractually obligated postretirement benefits are not included due to the
uncertainty of payment timing.

(6) We have recognized total liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits of $3 million as

of December 31, 2018. The timing of payments related to these obligations is uncertain;
however, none of this amount is expected to be paid within the next year.

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; and
•legal, environmental and product liability reserves.

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 estimates we use in accounting for the
plans include our:

•fair value of our plan assets,
•expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and
•discount rates.

information as of year-end as well as pension and
postretirement expense for the following year. Actual
experience that differs from our estimates or any changes in
our estimates could have a significant effect on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

Plan assets are assets of the pension plan trusts that fund the
benefits provided under the pension plans. The fair value of our
plan assets estimates the amount that would be received if we
were to sell each asset in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the reporting date. We estimate the fair
value of these assets based on the information available during
the year-end reporting process. In some cases, primarily private
equity and hedge funds, the available information consists of
net asset values as of an interim date, adjusted for known
events occurring between the interim date and year-end.

We value the pension plan assets based on the observability of
exit pricing inputs and classify pension plan assets based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement of the pension plan assets in their entirety. These
inputs are classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

•Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical

assets or 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.

Assets that are measured at fair value using the net asset
value per share as a practical expedient are not categorized
within the fair value hierarchy.

In general, we value our pension plan assets, as follows:
•cash and short-term investments are valued at cost, which

approximates market;

•fixed income investments are valued at exit prices quoted in

the public market;

•hedge funds, private equity funds and related fund units are
valued based on the net asset value of the funds; and
•derivative instruments are valued based upon valuation
statements received from each derivative’s counterparty.

Assets that do not have readily available quoted prices in an
active market require more judgment to value and have
increased risk.

At the end of every year, we review our key estimates with
external advisers and make adjustments as appropriate. We
use these estimates to calculate plan asset and liability

Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets

The expected long-term rate of return is our estimate of the
long-term rate of return that our plan assets will earn. Our

48

expected long-term rate of return is important in determining
the net periodic benefit or cost we recognize for our plans.

•3.7 percent for our Canadian postretirement plans —
compared with 3.4 percent at December 31, 2017.

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 from 9.0 percent for the
year ended December 31, 2016, to 8.0 percent for the year
ended December 31, 2017. This decision was based on a
variety of factors, including the net compounded annual return
achieved by our investment strategy and expected valuation
levels in the global equity and credit markets. We continued to
use an assumption of 8.0 percent for the year ended
December 31, 2018.

As of the end of 2018, we have begun implementing a change
in our asset strategy to an allocation that will more closely
match the plan’s liability profile moving forward, resulting in a
larger allocation of our assets into fixed income securities. With
this change, we have determined that we will further reduce our
assumption of long-term rate of return on plan assets to
7.0 percent for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Factors we considered include:

•historical returns for a portfolio of assets similar to our

expected allocation and

•expected future performance of similar asset classes.
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:

•$14 million for our U.S. qualified pension plans and
•$4 million for our Canadian registered pension plans.
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 accumulated
other comprehensive loss, a component of total equity.

Discount Rates

The discount rate is used to estimate the net present value of
our plan obligations. Our discount rates as of December 31,
2018, are:

•4.4 percent for our U.S. pension plans — compared with

3.7 percent at December 31, 2017;

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

with 3.5 percent at December 31, 2017;

•3.7 percent for our Canadian pension plans — compared

with 3.5 percent at December 31, 2017; and

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 2019 will be
based on the 4.4 percent and 4.2 percent assumed discount
rates for U.S. plans, respectively, and 3.7 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:

•$15 million for our U.S. qualified pension plans and
•$5 million for our Canadian registered pension plans.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We review the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever an
event or a change in circumstance (“a triggering event”)
indicates that the carrying value of the asset or asset group
may not be recoverable through future operations. The carrying
value is the original cost, less accumulated depreciation and
any past impairments recorded. There were no significant
triggering events during 2018.

If we evaluate recoverability, we are required to estimate future
cash flows and residual values of the asset or asset groups.
Key assumptions used in developing these estimates would
include probability of alternative outcomes, product pricing, raw
material costs, and product sales.

An impairment occurs when the carrying value of a long-lived
asset is greater than the amount that could be recovered from
the estimated future cash flows of the asset and greater than
fair market value (the amount we could receive if we were to
sell the asset). Key assumptions used in developing estimates
of fair value would include the estimated future cash flows used
to assess recoverability, discount rates, and probability of
alternative outcomes.

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.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

49

Assessing probability of loss and estimating probable losses
requires analysis of multiple factors, including:

service cost/credit), and special items. Adjusted EBITDA
excludes results from joint ventures.

•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 15: Legal Proceedings, Commitments
and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.

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

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, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 15, 2019 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2002.

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,
•estimates,
•fair value measurements and
•foreign currency translation.

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.

60

They do not include our intercompany transactions and
accounts, which are eliminated.

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.

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

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, solar and coal

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.

Unallocated Items are gains or charges related to company
level initiatives or previous businesses that are not allocated to
our current business segments. They include a portion of items
such as share-based compensation; pension and
postretirement costs; elimination of intersegment profit in
inventory and LIFO; foreign exchange transaction gains and
losses resulting from changes in exchange rates primarily
related to our U.S. dollar denominated cash and debt balances
that are held by our Canadian subsidiary; interest income and
other and legacy obligations such as environmental remediation
and workers compensation.

ESTIMATES

CHANGES IN HOW WE REPORT OUR RESULTS

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:

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

•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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

We have reclassified certain balances and results from prior
years to be consistent with our 2018 reporting. This makes
year-to-year comparisons easier. Our reclassifications had no
effect on consolidated net earnings or equity.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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;

•pension plan assets measured at fair value; 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 unadjusted quoted prices for identical

assets or 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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

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.

Lease Recognition

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize
assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by
those leases and requires 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 adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, using the
modified retrospective transition approach at the beginning of
the adoption period through a cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings. With this adoption approach, financial
information will not be updated and disclosures required under
the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods
before January 1, 2019. In addition, the standard provides a
number of optional practical expedients in transition. The
adoption resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of less than
2 percent of our total assets on our Consolidated Balance
Sheet. These leases are primarily related to vehicles,
equipment, office and warehouse leases disclosed in Note 15:
Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies.

Reclassification of Certain Amounts from Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which allows
for the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) between “Accumulated other
comprehensive loss” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU
provides that adjustments to deferred tax liabilities and assets
related to a change in tax laws be included in “Income from
continuing operations”, even in situations where the related
items were originally recognized in “Other comprehensive
income (loss).” The amendments in this ASU are effective for all
entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

61

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 was recognized. We adopted
this ASU during first quarter 2018 using the period of adoption
method, which resulted in a reclassification of $253 million from
“Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Retained
earnings” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet due to changes in
federal statutory and effective state rates. In general, tax effects
unrelated to the Tax Act are released from accumulated other
comprehensive loss using the portfolio approach.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which
updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement,
presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. We
adopted ASU 2016-01 in first quarter 2018, which resulted in a
reclassification of accumulated unrealized gains on
available-for-sale securities of $9 million from “Accumulated
other comprehensive loss” to “Retained earnings” on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued 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 affects accounting for partial sales of
nonfinancial assets.

We adopted this accounting standard update on 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 does not materially affect our
Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance
Sheet, or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

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.

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

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.
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

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 Costs of sales.

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
•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 the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever an
event or a change in circumstance (“a triggering event”)
indicates that the carrying value of the asset or asset group
may not be recoverable through future operations. The carrying
value is the original cost, less accumulated depreciation and
any past impairments recorded. 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,

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.

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, 2018,
and December 31, 2017.

Concentration of Risk

We disclose customers that represent a concentration of
risk. As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, 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,
pension and other postretirement plans and environmental
remediation.

Revenue Recognition

Refer to Note 3: Revenue Recognition for detail on how we
account for revenue.

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 sales” 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.

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 defined benefit pension plans covering
approximately half of our employees. Determination of benefits
differs for salaried, hourly and union employees, as follows:

•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 10: Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans provides additional information
about changes made in our postretirement benefit plans during
2018 and 2017.

64

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.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During 2016, we disposed of our former Cellulose Fibers segment, which is excluded from the segment results above unless
otherwise noted. See Note 4: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures for information regarding our discontinued
operations and the segments affected.

NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION

A majority of our revenue is derived from sales of delivered logs
and manufactured wood products. We account for revenue in
accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the
cumulative effect method. The adoption of the new revenue
recognition guidance did not materially affect our Consolidated
Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet, or
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

A performance obligation, as defined in ASC Topic 606, is a
promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a
customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each
distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue at
the point in time, or over the period, in which the performance
obligation is satisfied.

sales. Performance obligations associated with the sale of
wood products are typically satisfied when the products are
shipped. The company has elected, as an accounting policy, to
treat shipping and handling that is performed after a customer
obtains control of the product as an activity required to fulfill
the promise to transfer the good; therefore we will not evaluate
this requirement as a separate performance obligation.

Customers are generally invoiced shortly after logs are
delivered or after wood products are shipped, with payment
generally due within a month or less of the invoice date. ASC
Topic 606 requires entities to consider significant financing
components of contracts with customers, though allows for the
use of a practical expedient when the period between
satisfaction of a performance obligation and payment receipt is
one year or less. Given the nature of our revenue transactions,
we have elected to utilize this practical expedient.

Performance obligations associated with delivered log sales are
typically satisfied when the logs are delivered to our customers’
mills or delivered to an ocean vessel in the case of export

Performance obligations associated with real estate sales are
generally met when placed into escrow and all conditions of
closing have been satisfied.

66

CONTRACT ESTIMATES

Substantially all of the company’s performance obligations are
satisfied as of a point in time. Therefore, there is little
judgment in determining when control transfers for our
business segments as described above.

The transaction price for log sales generally equals the amount
billed to our customer for logs delivered during the accounting
period. For the limited number of log sales subject to a long-
term supply agreement, the transaction price is variable but is
known at the time of billing. For wood products sales, the
transaction price is generally the amount billed to the customer
for the products shipped but may be reduced slightly for
estimated cash discounts and rebates.

MAJOR PRODUCTS

A Reconciliation of Revenue Recognized by our Major Products:

There are no significant contract estimates related to the real
estate business.

CONTRACT BALANCES

In general, customers are billed and a receivable is recorded as
we ship and/or deliver wood products and logs. We generally
receive payment shortly after products have been received by
our customers. Contract asset and liability balances are
immaterial.

For real estate sales, the company receives the entire
consideration in cash at closing.

NOTE 4: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER
DIVESTITURES

OPERATIONS DIVESTED

On September 1, 2017, we completed the sale of our Uruguay
timberlands and manufacturing operations, to a consortium led
by BTG Pactual’s Timberland Investment Group (TIG), including
other long-term investors, for $403 million of cash proceeds.
Due to the impairment of our Uruguayan operations recorded
during second quarter 2017 (refer to Note 18: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset
Impairments), no material gain or loss was recorded as a result
of this sale.

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.

The following table presents the components of the net gain on
the divestiture of Cellulose Fibers:

raw materials and support services. The amount paid to
Weyerhaeuser by this joint venture for goods and services was
$126 million in 2016.

NOTE 5: 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

“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.

“Diluted earnings” per share is net earnings available to
common shareholders divided by the sum of the:

•weighted average number of our outstanding common shares

and

•the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common

shares.

Dilutive potential common shares may include:

•outstanding stock options,
•restricted stock units and
•performance share units.

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 $79 million as of December 31, 2018, and $70 million as of
December 31, 2017.

related parties. For the years presented, our related parties
have consisted of:

•Real Estate Development Ventures,
•our Twin Creeks Venture, and
•special-purpose entities (SPEs).

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT VENTURE

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). The company uses the equity
method for both its Class A and Class B interests of 3 percent
and 50 percent, respectively. Our share of the equity earnings
is included in the net contribution to earnings of our Real
Estate & ENR segment.

We are not the primary beneficiary of WR-CLP and 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.

The carrying amount of our investment in WR-CLP was
$31 million at December 31, 2017. During 2018, all remaining
capital invested in WR-CLP was returned through distributions.
At December 31, 2018, we no longer carry an investment
related to WR-CLP. Additionally, we had a $1 million gain on
investment from the joint venture during 2018. We record our
share of net earnings on the investment within “Interest income
and other” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the
period which earnings are recorded by the affiliates.

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
no further responsibilities or obligations related to the Twin
Creeks Venture and our continuing involvement in the
contributed timberlands ceased. In fourth quarter 2017, we
recognized the sale of the original contribution of timberlands
that occurred April 2016.

Changes in our deposit from contribution of timberlands to
related party balance during 2017 were as follows:

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.

•The contributed timberlands continued to be reported within
the “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion charged
to disposals” on our balance sheet as of December 31,
2016.

•No gain or loss was recognized related to the formation or
redemption in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
•Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 did not reflect

our 21 percent ownership interest in the Twin Creeks
Venture.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

71

The receipt of $440 million in 2016 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. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and
monetization special purpose entities (SPEs) were formed. We
are the primary beneficiary and consolidate the assets and
liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions.

The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs are financial
investments which consist of bank guarantees. These bank
guarantees are in turn backed by bank notes, which are the
liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the
financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs is used
to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization
SPE’s note.

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 Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018
includes:

•Assets from our buyer-sponsored SPEs, which consist of:

– $253 million, due first quarter 2019 and
– $362 million, due first quarter 2020.

•Liabilities from our monetization SPEs, which consist of:

– $302 million, due third quarter 2019.

During fourth quarter 2018, we paid $209 million related to
liabilities from our monetized SPEs at maturity.

Our Consolidated Statement of Operations includes:

•Interest income on buyer-sponsored SPE investments of:

– $34 million in 2018,

72

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

•Interest expense on monetization SPE notes of:

– $29 million in 2018,
– $29 million in 2017 and
– $29 million in 2016.

The weighted average interest rate on our buyer-sponsored
SPEs was 5.5 percent during 2018 and 2017. The weighted
average interest rate on our monetization SPEs was
5.6 percent during 2018 and 2017.

NOTE 10: 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 plans that qualify under the Internal Revenue
Code (qualified plans), as well as plans for select employees
that provide additional benefits not qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code (nonqualified plans). In Canada, we have plans
that are registered under the Income Tax Act and applicable
provincial pension acts (registered plans), as well as
nonregistered plans for select employees that provide
additional benefits that may not be registered under the Income
Tax Act or provincial pension acts (nonregistered plans). We
also offer other postretirement benefit plans in the U.S. and
Canada, including retiree medical and life insurance plans.

Actions to Reduce Pension Plan Obligations

During 2018, we offered select U.S. terminated vested plan
participants the opportunity to elect an immediate lump sum
distribution. Lump sum distributions were paid from plan
assets totaling $664 million during fourth quarter 2018. In
connection with this transaction, we have recorded a
settlement charge of $200 million during fourth quarter 2018,
accelerating the recognition of previously unrecognized losses
in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, that would have
been recognized in subsequent periods. The settlement
triggered a plan remeasurement, however due to the short

period between the settlement and our normal year-end
remeasurement, the effects were insignificant to the net
periodic benefit costs and therefore not recorded.

In January 2019, we transferred approximately $1.5 billion of
U.S. qualified pension plan assets and liabilities to an
insurance company through the purchase of a group annuity
contract. We expect to record an additional settlement charge
of approximately $450 million in connection with this
transaction during first quarter 2019.

To maintain the U.S. qualified pension plan’s current funded
status in connection with these transactions, we contributed
$300 million to the plan during third quarter 2018. Refer
to Note 21: Income Taxes for details on the tax effects of this
transaction.

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.

Assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are
different from the cumulative income or expense that we have
recorded associated with the plans. The differences are
actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits
that are deferred and amortized into periodic benefit costs in
future periods. Unamortized amounts are recorded in
“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”, which is a
component of total equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)”
section of Note 16: Shareholder’s Interest details changes in
these amounts by component.

Fair value of plan assets at
end of year (estimated)

We estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon
the information available during the year-end reporting process.
In some cases, primarily with regard to private equity funds, the
available information consists of net asset values as of an
interim date, plus cash flows and market events between the
interim date and the end of the year. We update the year-end
estimated fair value of pension plan assets during the first half
of the next year to incorporate year-end net asset values
received after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During second quarter 2018, we recorded an increase in the
beginning of year fair value of the pension assets of
$44 million, or less than 1 percent.

During second quarter 2018, we also updated our mortality
assumption and census data used to estimate our projected
benefit obligation for our U.S. qualified pension plan. We
recorded an adjustment to our projected benefit obligation,
incorporating updated census data and applying new company-
specific mortality data. As a result of these updates, the
beginning of year pension projected benefit obligation
decreased by $155 million, or approximately 2 percent. The net
effect of these updates, including the update to the pension
assets, was a $199 million improvement in funded status

plan assets in the “Pension Assets” section below.

Accumulated Benefit Obligations Greater Than Plan Assets

As of December 31, 2018, pension plans with accumulated
benefit obligations greater than plan assets had:

•$4.5 billion in projected benefit obligations,
•$4.4 billion in accumulated benefit obligations and
•assets with a fair value of $4.1 billion.
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.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all of our defined benefit
pension plans was:

•$5.2 billion at December 31, 2018, and
•$6.7 billion at December 31, 2017.

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;
74

•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

As of the end of 2018, we have begun to shift pension plan
assets to an allocation that will more closely match the pension
plan liability profile going forward. The former investment
strategy included investments in hedge funds, private equity
funds, derivative instruments and other investments. These
asset classes are now generally in redemption and run-off
mode however, given the long-term nature of these
investments, they will continue to comprise a significant portion
of the plan assets for several years. We expect all investments
in redemption to be redeemed at amounts materially consistent
with their net asset values. As these investments are
redeemed or liquidated, cash proceeds available for investment
will be invested in accordance with our revised investment
strategy.

The revised investment strategy targets an initial 60 percent
allocation to growth assets and a 40 percent allocation to
liability hedging assets. We expect to increase the allocation to
liability hedging assets over time as the funded status of the
pension plan improves. Growth assets include new investments
in global equities, hedge funds, which are generally in
redemption, and private equity assets, which are generally in
run-off mode. Liability hedging assets include corporate credit
and government issued fixed income securities, treasury
futures and interest rate swaps selected to align with the plan
liabilities.

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. Cash at December 31, 2018,
includes amounts that will be invested in liability hedging
assets such as fixed income investments.

Fixed income investments include publicly traded corporate
and government issued debt. These bonds have varying
maturities, credit quality and sector exposure, and are selected
to align with the duration of our plan liabilities. The fixed
income investments are invested largely in line with long
corporate bond indices.

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.

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.

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.

Market price risk is the risk that market fluctuations will
adversely affect the value of plan assets. The trusts mitigate
market price risk by investing in a diversified portfolio. In
addition, we and our investment advisers perform regular
monitoring with ongoing qualitative assessments, quantitative
assessments, and comprehensive investment and operational
due diligence.

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. With the change in investment strategy and a
larger percentage of the plan assets invested in more liquid
instruments such as publicly traded fixed income investments,
liquidity risk is greatly reduced.

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. With the change in investment strategy, currency
risk will be mitigated going forward by investing more of the
Canadian plan assets in Canadian dollar investments.

Interest rate risk exists on both the asset and liability side,
and is the risk that a change in interest rates will adversely
affect the fair value of interest rate securities or liabilities,
thereby affecting the overall funded status. With the change in
investment strategy to more closely match the plan liabilities,
interest rate risk will be greatly reduced.

Credit risk is the risk that counterparties’ failure to discharge
their obligations could affect cash flows. The trusts have
exposure through investments in fixed income securities. This
risk is mitigated by investing in a diversified portfolio. The
trusts also have exposure 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.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

75

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

Pension assets are stated at fair value as of the reporting date.
Fair value is based on the amount that would be received to
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 or 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.

Fixed income investments are valued at exit prices quoted in
active or non-active markets or based on observable inputs.

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. Some
of these contracts are not publicly traded.

The net pension plan assets, when categorized in accordance
with this fair value hierarchy, are as follows. Investments
valued using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient are
presented to reconcile with total plan assets.

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.

ended December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017,

Qualified and Registered Pension Plans

We assumed a long-term rate of return on plan assets of
8.0 percent for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As of the end of 2018, we have begun implementing a change
in our asset strategy to an allocation that will more closely
match the plan’s liability profile moving forward, resulting in a
larger allocation of our assets into fixed income securities. With
this change, we have determined that we will reduce our
assumption of long-term rate of return on plan assets to
7.0 percent for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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.

The assumed health care cost trend rate can influence
projected postretirement benefit plan payments. The following
table demonstrates the effect a one percent change in
assumed health care cost trend rates would have with all other
assumptions remaining constant.

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 7.0 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.

Health Care Costs

Rising costs of health care affect the costs of our other
postretirement plans. We use assumptions about health care
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
2018, the assumed weighted health care cost trend rate was:
•8.4 percent for U.S. Pre-Medicare
•4.5 percent for U.S. Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
•5.1 percent for Canada
This table shows the assumptions we use in estimating the
annual cost increase for health care benefits we provide.

Expected Pension Plan and Benefit Funding

UNION-ADMINISTERED MULTIEMPLOYER BENEFIT PLANS

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. We voluntarily contributed
$300 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans during 2018,
although there was no minimum required contribution for the
year.

During 2018, we contributed $22 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 $19 million for our nonqualified
pension plans.

During 2019, based on estimated year-end asset values and
projections of plan liabilities, we expect to:

•be required to contribute approximately $17 million for our

Canadian registered plan;

•be required to contribute or make benefit payments for our

Canadian nonregistered plans of $3 million; and

•make benefit payments of approximately $16 million for our

U.S. nonqualified pension 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:
•$22 million in 2018,
•$21 million in 2017 and
•$27 million in 2016.

We do not anticipate a contribution being required for our U.S.
qualified pension plan for 2019.

NOTE 11: ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:

Expected Postretirement Benefit Funding

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS

Benefits for these plans are paid from our general assets as
they come due. We expect to make benefit payments of
$23 million for our U.S. and Canadian other postretirement
benefit plans in 2019, including $6 million expected to be
required to cover benefit payments under collectively bargained
contractual obligations.

OUR LINES OF CREDIT

During March 2017, we entered into a $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.
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, 2018, we had $425 million of
outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility and had
an additional $1,075 million available. We were in compliance
with the revolving credit facility covenants as of December 31,
2018.

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 receive
patronage refunds while outstanding. Similarly, we receive
patronage refunds on the 2026 term loan, which will continue
while the loan remains outstanding.

To estimate the fair value of long-term debt, we used the
market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we
received for the same types and issues of our debt.

We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of
credit 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 15: 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

82

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) — commonly known
as 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 have been deemed potentially
responsible parties as past or present owners or operators of
facilities within the site, or as arrangers under CERCLA.

We cooperated with 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. During third quarter 2018, implementation
of this administrative order was completed.

In 2010, 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 a
certain area within the site. On March 29, 2018, the U.S.
District Court issued an opinion and order assigning the
company responsibility for 5 percent of approximately
$50 million in past costs incurred by the plaintiffs. The
remaining 95 percent of this pool of past costs incurred was
allocated to the plaintiffs and other defendants.

The opinion and order, which is currently on appeal before the
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, does not establish
allocation for future remediation costs, and accordingly, we may
incur additional costs in connection with future remediation
tasks for other areas of the site. In connection with the opinion
and order, we updated our best estimate of the liability
associated with the site and recorded a pretax charge of $28
million in first quarter 2018 within “Other operating costs
(income), net” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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.
These reserves are recorded in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other
liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

asbestos containing materials might be removed from the
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.

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 $126 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

COMMITMENTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Our commitments and contingencies include:

•guarantees of debt and performance,
•operating leases and
•product remediation contingency.

Guarantees

We have guaranteed the performance of the buyer of a

Operating Leases

Our rent expense was:

•$47 million in 2018,
•$39 million in 2017 and

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.

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.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In November 2015, our board of directors approved a share
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). 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 68 million 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.

During 2018, we repurchased 11 million shares of common
stock for $366 million (including transaction fees), under the
2016 Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2018, we had
remaining authorization of $135 million for future stock
repurchases.

On February 7, 2019, our board of directors terminated the
2016 Repurchase Program and approved a new share
repurchase program (the 2019 Repurchase Program) under
which we are authorized to repurchase up to $500 million of
outstanding shares.

All common stock purchases under the 2016 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, 2018, or December 31, 2017.

NOTE 17: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

OUR LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

This note provides details about:

•our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (2013 Plan),
•share-based compensation resulting from our merger with

Plum Creek,

•how we account for share-based awards,
•tax benefits of share-based awards,
•types of share-based compensation,
•unrecognized share-based compensation and
•deferred compensation stock equivalent units.
Share-based compensation expense was:

•$42 million in 2018,
•$40 million in 2017 and
•$60 million in 2016.
The 2016 amount above contains a $6 million award to
employees of the divested Cellulose Fibers businesses which is
included in our results of discontinued operations.

Our long-term incentive plans provide for share-based awards
that include:

•restricted stock,
•restricted stock units (RSUs),
•performance shares,
•performance share units (PSUs),
•stock options and
•stock appreciation rights (SARs).
We may issue future grants of up to 21 million shares under
the 2013 Plan. We also have the right to reissue forfeited and
expired grants.

For restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, PSUs 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.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

85

For stock options and SARs:

HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR SHARE-BASED AWARDS

•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.

We have not granted any additional SARs since 2016.
Additionally, the remaining liability related to SARs is immaterial
at December 31, 2018.

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors
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 30 million
shares if all share-based awards were exercised or vested.
These include:

•all options, RSUs and PSUs outstanding at December 31,

2018, under the 2013 Plan and 2004 Plan; and

•all remaining options, RSUs and PSUs 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,
RSUs 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 thousand stock options and 1,248 thousand RSUs. The
replacement stock option awards were fully vested and had a
total value of $5 million, which was included in the equity
consideration issued with the merger. Qualifying terminations
during 2016 resulted in accelerated vesting of 705 thousand 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 18: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset Impairments.

We also assumed 289,910 value management awards (VMAs)
through the merger with Plum Creek. Qualifying terminations
during 2016 resulted in $6 million of expense recognized for
VMAs. This accelerated expense is included in merger-related
integration costs as described in Note 18: Charges for
Integration and Restructuring, Closures and Asset Impairments.

86

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
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:

•$5 million in 2018,
•$6 million in 2017 and
•$12 million in 2016.
The 2016 amount above contains a $2 million income tax
benefit from share-based awards to employees that were part
of the Cellulose Fibers divestitures which is included in our
results of discontinued operations.

Tax benefits from share-based awards are accrued as stock
compensation expense and realized when:

•restricted shares and RSUs vest,
•performance shares and PSUs vest,
•stock options are exercised and
•SARs are exercised.

TYPES OF SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Our share-based compensation is in the form of:

•restricted stock units,
•performance share units,
•stock options and
•stock appreciation rights.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Through the 2013 Plan, we award RSUs — grants that entitle
the holder to shares of our stock as the award vests.

The Details

Our RSUs granted in 2018, 2017 and 2016 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 RSUs is the market price of our stock on
the grant-date of the awards.

We generally record share-based compensation expense for
RSUs over the four-year vesting period. Generally, for RSUs 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.

Activity

The following table shows our RSU activity for 2018.

(1) As of December 31, 2018, there were approximately 336 thousand RSUs that had met

The weighted average grant-date fair value for RSUs was:

•$34.19 in 2018,
•$32.83 in 2017 and
•$30.25 in 2016.
The total grant-date fair value of RSUs vested was:

•$16 million in 2018,
•$18 million in 2017 and
•$36 million in 2016.

Nonvested RSUs accrue dividends that are paid out when RSUs
vest. Any RSUs forfeited will not receive dividends.

As RSUs 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 2013 Plan, we award PSUs — 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 2018 and 2017, the ultimate number of
PSUs 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 PSUs
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.
The vesting provisions for PSUs granted in 2018, 2017, and
2016 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

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

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.

UNRECOGNIZED SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

As of December 31, 2018, our unrecognized share-based
compensation cost for all types of share-based awards included
$33 million related to non-vested equity-classified share-based
compensation arrangements — expected to be recognized over
a weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK EQUIVALENT UNITS

Certain employees and our board of directors may defer
compensation into stock-equivalent units.

The Details

STOCK OPTIONS

The 2013 Plan works differently for employees and directors.

Stock options entitle award recipients to purchase shares of
our common stock at a fixed exercise price. During 2018 and
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.

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.

88

Our directors:

•receive a portion of their annual retainer fee in the form of
RSUs, 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 639 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.

Activity

The number of stock-equivalent units outstanding in our
deferred compensation accounts were:

•788 thousand as of December 31, 2018,
•804 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and
•1,004 thousand as of December 31, 2016.

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.

Other restructuring and closure costs include lease termination
charges, dismantling and demolition of plant and equipment,
gain or loss on disposition of assets, environmental cleanup
costs and incremental costs to wind down operating facilities.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

The Impairment of Long-Lived Assets section of Note 1:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies provides details
about how we account for these impairments. Additional
information can also be found in our Critical Accounting
Policies.

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY > 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K

Long-Lived Assets

NOTE 20: OTHER OPERATING COSTS (INCOME), NET

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 4: Discontinued
Operations and Other Divestitures for further details on the
Uruguayan operations sale.

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
asset was determined using the value indicated in a
purchase and sale agreement.

•2016 — We recognized a $15 million impairment charge in

Real Estate & ENR which represents the fair value less direct
selling costs of certain development projects that we planned
to sell that had a book value greater than fair value. The fair
values of the projects were determined using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on broker opinion of
value reports.

NOTE 19: CHARGES (RECOVERIES) FOR PRODUCT
REMEDIATION, NET

In July 2017, we announced the implementation of a solution to
address concerns regarding our TJI® Joists coated with our
former Flak Jacket® Protection product. This issue was isolated
to Flak Jacket product manufactured after December 1, 2016,
and did not affect any of our other products.

NOTE 21: INCOME TAXES

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 4: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures.

The Income Taxes section of Note 1: Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies provides details about how we account for
our income taxes.

Tax Legislation

We recorded insurance recoveries of $25 million and product
remediation charges of $25 million for the year ended
December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31,
2017, we recorded $290 million to accrue for expected costs
associated with the remediation. The charges recorded were
attributable to our Wood Products segment and were recorded
in “Charges (recoveries) for product remediation, net” on the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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. As a result of the reduction in the corporate tax
rate, we revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities and
recorded a tax expense of $74 million during 2017, which
reduced our net deferred tax asset. We were not required to

90

pay a repatriation tax due to the fact that we had no foreign
undistributed earnings at December 31, 2017.

The most significant effects of the Tax Act provisions for 2018
include a reduction to our overall estimated annual effective tax
rate primarily due to the reduced corporate tax rate, and new
limitations on certain business deductions.

During first quarter 2018, we adopted ASU 2018-02 which
allowed for the reclassification of certain income tax effects
related to the Tax Act between “Accumulated other
comprehensive loss” and “Retained earnings”. Refer to Note 1:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further details
on this ASU and the related effect on our financial statements.

Pension Contribution Tax Adjustment

At the end of 2017, we revalued our deferred tax assets
(including pension) to the 2018 federal tax rate of 21 percent,
as a result of the Tax Act, as discussed above. During third
quarter 2018, we announced actions intended to reduce the
liabilities of our U.S. qualified pension plan while maintaining
the plan’s current funded status and made a decision to
contribute $300 million to our U.S. qualified pension plan (refer
to Note 10: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans).
We were able to deduct this contribution on our 2017 U.S.
federal tax return at the 2017 federal tax rate of 35 percent.
This resulted in an incremental $41 million tax benefit for the
portion attributable to our TRSs during third quarter 2018.

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax effect
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 2018 totaled $584 million as
follows:

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
$61 million at the end of 2018, related to state credits, state
net operating losses and passive foreign tax credits.

Reinvestment of Undistributed Earnings

We have historically asserted it is our intent to reinvest the
earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. In fourth quarter 2018, we
changed our position regarding the earnings of our Canadian
subsidiary. Our change in assertion was based on the
company’s review of global cash management and planned
capital deployment, taking into consideration the effects of the
Tax Act. As of 2018, our assertion is to permanently reinvest
approximately 10 percent of our Canadian earnings. We have
no other foreign subsidiaries with undistributed earnings.
Accordingly, deferred taxes have been provided primarily related
to Canadian withholding taxes associated with Canadian
earnings no longer considered permanently reinvested.

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, 2018,
and 2017, is $3 million and $4 million, of which a net amount
of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, would affect our tax
rate if recognized.

The net liability recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet
related to unrecognized tax benefits is $1 million as of
December 31, 2018, comprised of the $3 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, 2017, was $2 million, comprised of $4 million
gross unrecognized tax benefit amount net of $2 million loss
carryforwards available to offset the liability.

•U.S. REIT - $223 million, which expire from 2031 through

2036;

In accordance with our accounting policy, we accrue interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a

92

component of income tax expense. See Note 1: Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.

As of December 31, 2018, none of our U.S. federal income tax
returns or foreign jurisdiction income tax returns are under
examination. Our U.S. federal income tax returns are open to
examination for years 2015 forward and foreign jurisdictions
income tax returns are open to examination for years 2010
forward. We are undergoing examinations in state jurisdictions
for tax years 2009 through 2017, with tax years 2009 forward
open to examination. We do 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.

RESOLUTION OF 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 asserted 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 subsequently filed a
petition in the U.S. Tax Court to contest this adjustment.

On February 8, 2019, we entered into a closing agreement with
the IRS to settle this dispute. Under the terms of the
agreement, the company paid approximately $21 million of
corporate tax. This amount was recorded as tax expense in
fourth quarter 2018. No interest or penalties will be assessed.
The parties have filed a stipulated decision with the U.S. Tax
Court, pursuant to which the Court will officially close the matter.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL

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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as is defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 rules. Management,
under our supervision, conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework (2013), management
concluded that the company’s internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. The
effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2018, has been audited by
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm,
as stated in their report, which is included herein.

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

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, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated
February 15, 2019 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.
