Business and Operational Highlights
In the Timberlands segment, Adjusted EBITDDA decreased by $2.8 million from Q1 2025. Northern sawlog prices increased due to higher cedar prices and seasonally lighter logs, while Southern harvest volumes decreased primarily due to lower stumpage sales. Forest management costs increased due to seasonally higher activity.
The Wood Products segment saw a decrease in Adjusted EBITDDA by $10.0 million from Q1 2025. Average lumber prices decreased by 1% to $450 per thousand board feet (MBF) in Q2 2025. Log costs increased primarily due to higher indexed pricing in Idaho, and there were additional costs related to equipment upgrades and temporary power supply issues.
In the Real Estate segment, Adjusted EBITDDA remained flat compared to Q1 2025. The company sold 7,457 acres of rural land at an average price of $3,108 per acre and 18 residential lots at an average price of $102,222 per lot.

Management's Perspective
Eric Cremers, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our overall financial results were solid in the second quarter, even amid ongoing economic and trade policy uncertainty. This quarter our Timberlands and Real Estate businesses performed well, while our Wood Products segment continued to be impacted by soft demand across lumber markets. We remained focused on our disciplined and opportunistic capital allocation strategy during the quarter, returning meaningful capital to shareholders through the repurchase of $56 million of our common stock, in addition to paying our regular quarterly dividend. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals that support demand for our products. With a strong balance sheet, disciplined operations, and a prudent approach to capital deployment, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver long-term value to our shareholders."
Future Outlook
While the company did not provide specific guidance for the next reporting period, management expressed confidence in the long-term fundamentals supporting demand for their products. The company aims to continue its disciplined operations and prudent capital deployment to deliver long-term value to shareholders.
