Cash provided by operating activities was $34.6 million versus $27.7 million in the prior year period. Cash available for distribution (CAD) was $90.2 million, which increased $69.9 million versus the prior year period due to higher Adjusted EBITDA($67.1 million) and higher cash interest received (net) ($11.0 million), partially offset by higher capital expenditures ($8.4 million).
“During the first quarter, we generated total Adjusted EBITDA of $94.1 million, reflecting two months of post-merger contribution from the legacy PotlatchDeltic businesses following the successful closing of our merger of equals on January 30th,” said Mark McHugh, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to delivering solid financial results to start the year, I am extremely proud of the collaboration, focus and dedication that our team has demonstrated as we’ve executed on integration initiatives.”
“In our Southern Timber segment, Adjusted EBITDA of $45.5 million increased 68% versus the prior year quarter, largely due to the contribution of approximately 1.0 million tons of harvest volume from the PotlatchDeltic timberlands. In Northwest Timber, Adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 million was 45% higher than the prior year quarter, primarily due to 116,000 tons of incremental harvest volume from the PotlatchDeltic timberlands.”
“In our newly established Wood Products segment, we generated Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million, as lumber price realizations trended higher through the first quarter.”
“In our Real Estate segment, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $46.2 million - above the high-end of our prior guidance for the quarter - as we continued to see strong momentum across our real estate categories. Notably, our real estate results for the quarter included a $22.5 million land sale to a solar developer at over $10,000 per acre.”
PotlatchDeltic Corporation Merger and Changes to Reportable Business Segments
On January 30, 2026, Rayonier completed the previously announced merger with PotlatchDeltic Corporation (“PotlatchDeltic”). Accordingly, PotlatchDeltic’s balance sheet and results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from and after the date of acquisition.
As a result of the merger, we revised our reportable business segments to include a new “Wood Products” segment, which manufactures and sells lumber, plywood and residual products at seven mills located in Arkansas, Idaho, Michigan and Minnesota. We further renamed the Pacific Northwest Timber segment to “Northwest Timber,” reflecting the addition of approximately 623,000 acres of timberlands in Idaho. Within our Southern Timber segment, we revised our price reporting to reflect delivered log prices rather than net stumpage realizations, reflecting the change in the prevalent mode of sale following the addition of approximately 1.5 million acres to the segment through the merger.
Southern Timber
First quarter sales of $88.7 million increased $37.7 million, or 74%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 76% to 2.78 million tons versus 1.58 million tons in the prior year period, primarily driven by 1.0 million tons of incremental volume from the PotlatchDeltic timberlands. Average delivered pine sawtimber prices decreased to $44.59 per ton versus $47.69 per ton in the prior year period, primarily reflecting changes in geographic mix associated with the expanded Southern Timber footprint, as well as modestly weaker market conditions. Average delivered pine pulpwood prices decreased to $30.20 per ton versus $37.83 per ton in the prior year period, reflecting geographic mix impacts from the expanded footprint, as well as softer pulpwood markets. Meanwhile, weighted-average prices on stumpage sales (including hardwood) decreased to $16.65 per ton versus $18.11 per ton in the prior year period, largely attributable to the geographic mix shift due to the merger. Operating income of $12.4 million increased $2.2 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes ($6.7 million) and higher non-timber income ($4.8 million), partially offset by higher depletion expense ($3.4 million), lower prices ($3.3 million) and higher costs ($2.5 million).
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $45.5 million was 68%, or $18.5 million, above the prior year period.
Northwest Timber
First quarter sales of $32.1 million increased $10.3 million, or 47%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 38% to 361,000 tons versus 261,000 tons in the prior year period, primarily driven by 116,000 tons of incremental volume from legacy PotlatchDeltic timberlands. Idaho harvest activity was limited during the first quarter due to extended spring break-up conditions following a relatively mild winter. Average delivered prices for sawtimber increased to $94.37 per ton versus $90.58 per ton in the prior year period, primarily reflecting geographic mix due to the addition of Idaho sawtimber (most of which is indexed to lumber prices), which more than offset modestly lower prices in the Pacific Northwest. Average delivered pulpwood prices increased to $36.82 per ton versus $30.05 per ton in the prior year period, primarily due to improved pulpwood demand and less competition from sawmill residuals. Operating loss of ($0.4) million versus operating income of $0.3 million in the prior year period was driven by higher costs ($2.4 million) and higher depletion expense ($1.3 million), partially offset by higher volumes ($1.5 million), higher prices ($1.2 million) and higher non-timber income ($0.3 million).
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 million was 45%, or $2.7 million, above the prior year period.
Wood Products
First quarter sales totaled $108.5 million, consisting of $87.2 million of lumber sales and $21.3 million of plywood, residual, and other sales. Improved supply-demand conditions due to capacity curtailments announced last year, coupled with seasonal restocking ahead of the spring building season, drove higher lumber prices throughout the first quarter, particularly for southern yellow pine. Lumber shipments totaled 199 MMBF, with average lumber price realizations of $437 per thousand board feet. While shipment volumes were impacted by adverse weather in both our Northern and Southern mills, overall manufacturing costs per unit remained stable. Industrial plywood demand and costs were also relatively stable during the quarter.
First quarter operating loss and Adjusted EBITDAwere ($1.0) million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Real Estate
First quarter sales of $59.8 million increased $49.6 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $27.4 million increased $28.3 million versus the prior year period. Sales and operating income increased primarily due to higher acres sold (7,695 acres sold versus 1,031 acres sold in the prior year period), partially offset by lower weighted-average prices ($7,280 per acre versus $8,308 per acre in the prior year period).
Improved Development sales of $6.6 million included $3.5 million from the Heartwood development project south of Savannah, Georgia and $3.1 million from the Chenal Valley development project in Little Rock, Arkansas. Sales in Heartwood consisted of a 32-acre church site for $2.2 million ($68,000 per acre) and two commercial properties totaling 2.4 acres for $1.3 million ($538,000 per acre). Sales in Chenal Valley included 20 residential lots for $3.1 million ($157,000 per lot). This compares to Improved Development sales of $3.3 million in the prior year period.
Rural sales of $49.4 million consisted of 7,656 acres at an average price of $6,457 per acre, including a 2,226-acre sale to a solar developer for $10,100 per acre. This compares to prior year period sales of $5.3 million, which consisted of 953 acres at an average price of $5,534 per acre.
First quarter Adjusted EBITDAof $46.2 million increased $44.2 million versus the prior year period.
Other Items
First quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $82.8 million increased $73.4 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to $70.4 million of costs related to the merger with PotlatchDeltic. The prior year period included $1.1 million of restructuring charges.
First quarter interest expense of $14.3 million increased $7.9 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to incremental debt assumed in the merger with PotlatchDeltic. First quarter interest income of $7.2 million increased $4.3 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to a higher cash balance following the sale of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture interest in the second quarter of 2025.
First quarter income tax benefit of $39.4 million versus $0.3 million of income tax expense in the prior year period was primarily driven by a $40.3 million benefit associated with the release of a valuation allowance.This valuation allowance was primarily related to net operating losses generated by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, which are now expected to be utilized following the merger with PotlatchDeltic.
Share Repurchases
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares at an average price of $20.98 per share, or $31.1 million in total. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $198.4 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.
Outlook
Consistent with the initial 2026 financial guidance we provided in February, the following full-year metrics reflect a pro rata contribution from legacy PotlatchDeltic operations for January 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
- Southern Timber: In our Southern Timber segment, we expect to achieve full-year harvest volumes of 12.1 to 12.6 million tons, with anticipated harvest volumes of 2.9 to 3.1 million tons in the second quarter. We expect regional sawtimber and pulpwood prices to remain relatively stable for the second quarter compared to the first quarter. However, full-year and quarterly average pine prices for the
combined company’s Southern Timber segment are expected to be lower than the standalone prices for Rayonier in the prior year based on the geographic mix of the combined company.
- Northwest Timber: In our Northwest Timber segment, we expect to achieve full-year harvest volumes of 2.0 to 2.3 million tons, with anticipated harvest volumes of approximately 500,000 tons in the second quarter. We expect overall sawtimber prices to be higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter primarily due to the addition of PotlatchDeltic’s Idaho timberlands. We also continue to expect that full-year 2026 average log pricing for the combined company’s Northwest Timber segment will be higher than the standalone pricing for Rayonier in the prior year. However, as we previously highlighted, our pricing in the Northwest following the merger will be more sensitive to fluctuations in lumber pricing, as a significant portion of our sawlog sales in Idaho are indexed to lumber prices.
- Wood Products: In our Wood Products segment, we continue to expect lumber shipments to total ~1.1 billion board feet for the 11 months of contribution in 2026. We further expect lumber shipments in the second quarter of approximately 310 to 320 million board feet. We were encouraged by the positive trajectory in lumber prices through mid-April, but pricing in recent weeks across some products has moderated amid more balanced supply/demand dynamics. Based on quarter-to-date price realizations and current lumber pricing, we expect the Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the Wood Products segment to be higher in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter results.
- Real Estate: We are pleased by the continued momentum in our Real Estate segment and maintain a strong pipeline of rural and improved development land sales for the balance of the year. Based on our current transaction pipeline and sales closed quarter-to-date, we expect an Adjusted EBITDA contribution in the second quarter of $25 to $35 million. For the full year, we continue to expect an Adjusted EBITDA contribution from our Real Estate segment of $180 to $200 million.

(b) Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average number of shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive securities (including Redeemable Operating Partnership Units) were converted into shares of common stock at the earliest date possible. The incremental weighted average number of shares used for determining diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2025 also includes 4,866,708 of contingently issuable shares from the additional dividend of $1.40 per share, which was declared on October 14, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, because net (loss) earnings from continuing operations was a loss, the effect of anti-dilutive securities was excluded in the denominator of calculating diluted EPS. As of March 31, 2026, there were 301,675,323 common shares and 1,682,257 Redeemable Operating Partnership Units outstanding.
