Weyerhaeuser reported second quarter net earnings of $230 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.0 billion. The company's Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $469 million. In July, Weyerhaeuser acquired 22 thousand acres of timberlands in Mississippi for approximately $60 million.
Net earnings of $230 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, were achieved, and net earnings before special items were $238 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $469 million was generated, a 19 percent increase compared with first quarter 2023.
A strategic timberlands acquisition in Mississippi was completed in July 2023.
The company is encouraged by recent improvements in the housing market and maintains a favorable longer-term outlook for demand fundamentals.
Weyerhaeuser anticipates third quarter earnings and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly higher than the second quarter due to higher average sales realizations for lumber and oriented strand board. Excluding the effect of those items, the company expects third quarter financial results will be slightly lower than the second quarter.
