Weyerhaeuser expects second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly lower than first quarter 2020.
Challenges Ahead
- In the West, the company anticipates lower realizations, comparable domestic log sales volumes, and seasonally higher road and forestry costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes for China export logs.
- In the South, the company expects lower fee harvest volumes and slightly lower average log sales realizations.
- Market demand for Southern sawlogs began to decrease significantly due to the severe economic impact of COVID-19.
- Second quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be approximately $20 million lower than second quarter 2019 due to fewer real estate acres sold.
- The company anticipates significantly lower sales volumes across all product lines.
