The following table summarizes operating income, pro forma operating income,³ and Adjusted EBITDA³ for the full-year and comparable prior year period:

Full-year cash provided by operating activities was $256.7 million versus $261.6 million in the prior year period. Full-year cash available for distribution (CAD)³ was $198.6 million, which increased $57.6 million versus the prior year period due to higher Adjusted EBITDA³ ($17.7 million), lower cash interest paid (net) ($27.9 million), and lower capital expenditures ($12.0 million).

"Our full-year 2025 performance highlights the resilience of our diversified portfolio as well as our nimble execution as timber market headwinds persisted throughout the year," said Mark McHugh, President and CEO. "We generated Adjusted EBITDA of $248.0 million, representing an 8% increase over 2024 and exceeding the high end of our prior guidance range. This outperformance was primarily driven by the record contribution from our Real Estate segment, which delivered full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $127.1 million amid continued strength in our rural HBU markets and further growth in our real estate development business."

"We also advanced key strategic initiatives in 2025, including successfully completing our asset disposition and capital structure realignment plan, as well as announcing a transformative merger of equals with PotlatchDeltic. We are confident that combining these two exceptional land resource companies will create significant value, and our combined team has been diligently advancing the integration following the closing of the merger on January 30, 2026."

"Turning to our fourth quarter results, we achieved total Adjusted EBITDA of $61.7 million—slightly exceeding the high-end of our previous guidance range, but down 35% compared to the prior year period as Real Estate closing activity in 2024 was heavily concentrated in the fourth quarter."

"In our Southern Timber segment, Adjusted EBITDA of $32.0 million was 8% below the prior year quarter, as a 9% reduction in weighted-average net stumpage realizations and lower revenue from Land-Based Solutions were partially offset by a 10% increase in harvest volumes. In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million declined 24% versus the prior year quarter, primarily driven by lower harvest volumes, reflecting the impact of the Large Dispositions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, in our Real Estate segment, Adjusted EBITDA of $32.7 million decreased $30.7 million versus the prior year quarter, as the prior year period reflected elevated closing activity. Notably, excluding Improved Development, the weighted-average price of real estate sales in the fourth quarter was $6,295 per acre, demonstrating our continued success in capturing substantial HBU premiums above timberland value."

Southern Timber

Fourth quarter sales of $57.2 million decreased $1.9 million, or 3%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 10% to 1.72 million tons versus 1.56 million tons in the prior year period, as production improved due to drier weather conditions and increased demand for green logs as salvage operations in the Atlantic region subsided. Average pine sawtimber stumpage realizations increased 2% to $25.13 per ton versus $24.74 per ton in the prior year period, as the normalization of supply levels following an extended period of hurricane salvage operations more than offset softer sawmill demand. Average pine pulpwood stumpage realizations decreased 27% to $11.70 per ton versus $16.08 per ton in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of increased market supply due to dry weather conditions coupled with weaker demand following recent mill closures in the Atlantic region. Overall, weighted-average net stumpage realizations (including hardwood) decreased 9% to $17.57 per ton versus $19.30 per ton in the prior year period, as lower pulpwood pricing was partially offset by a higher proportion of sawtimber volume. Operating income of $15.8 million decreased $2.2 million versus the prior year period due to lower net stumpage realizations ($3.0 million), lower non-timber income ($2.2 million), and higher costs ($0.6 million), partially offset by lower depletion expense ($2.3 million) and higher volumes ($1.3 million).

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA³ of $32.0 million was 8%, or $2.7 million, below the prior year period.

Pacific Northwest Timber

Fourth quarter sales of $18.0 million decreased $6.2 million, or 26%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 26% to 214,000 tons versus 290,000 tons in the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of the Large Dispositions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber decreased 3% to $86.55 per ton versus $89.04 per ton in the prior year period, as softer domestic mill demand more than offset a favorable species mix. Average delivered pulpwood prices increased 26% to $37.84 per ton versus $29.99 per ton in the prior year period, as a reduction in sawmill residuals tightened regional supply and improved market tension. Operating loss of $1.6 million versus an operating loss of $1.3 million in the prior year period was driven by higher depletion expense ($0.7 million), lower volumes ($0.4 million), and lower net stumpage realizations ($0.1 million), partially offset by lower costs ($0.9 million).

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA³ of $4.6 million was 24%, or $1.5 million, below the prior year period.

Real Estate

Fourth quarter sales of $42.3 million decreased $524.9 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $27.1 million decreased $299.0 million versus the prior year period. The prior year fourth quarter sales and operating income included $495.0 million and $291.1 million, respectively, from Large Dispositions. Excluding this item, pro forma sales³ were $72.2 million and pro forma operating income³ was $35.0 million in the prior year period. Pro forma sales³ and pro forma operating income³ in the fourth quarter decreased versus the prior year period primarily due to lower acres sold (3,813 acres sold versus 7,811 acres sold in the prior year period), partially offset by higher weighted-average prices ($9,741 per acre versus $8,923 per acre in the prior year period).

Improved Development sales of $14.8 million included $9.0 million from the Wildlight development project north of Jacksonville, Florida and $5.8 million from the Heartwood development project south of Savannah, Georgia. Sales in Wildlight consisted of one residential pod sale totaling 112 acres ($80,000 per acre), while sales in Heartwood consisted of two residential pod sales totaling 143 acres ($33,000 per acre) and a 7.1-acre commercial parcel ($140,000 per acre). This compares to Improved Development sales of $14.4 million in the prior year period.

Unimproved Development sales of $2.1 million consisted of three transactions totaling 75 acres at an average price of $28,000 per acre. This compares to Unimproved Development sales of $12.4 million in the prior year period.

Rural sales of $20.3 million consisted of 3,475 acres at an average price of $5,832 per acre. This compares to prior year period sales of $42.9 million, which consisted of 6,592 acres at an average price of $6,515 per acre.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA³ of $32.7 million decreased $30.7 million versus the prior year period.

Other Items

Fourth quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $14.3 million increased $3.6 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to $6.3 million of costs related to the merger with PotlatchDeltic,¹ partially offset by lower compensation and benefit expenses as well as $1.1 million of restructuring charges⁶ that were reflected in the prior year quarter.

Fourth quarter interest expense of $6.7 million increased $0.1 million versus the prior year period. Fourth quarter interest income of $9.3 million increased $5.8 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to a higher cash balance following the Large Dispositions completed in late 2024 and the sale of the Company's New Zealand joint venture interest in the second quarter of 2025.

Share Repurchases

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 109,964 shares at an average price of $26.31 per share, or $2.9 million in total. Following the mid-October merger announcement, the Company's ability to repurchase shares was generally restricted pending the close of the transaction. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 161.4 million common shares outstanding, 1.7 million redeemable operating partnership units outstanding, and $229.5 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

Given the recent completion of our merger with PotlatchDeltic, we are providing the following initial segment guidance for the combined company for 2026 (which reflects the anticipated pro rata contribution from the 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—reflecting the increase in our sustainable yield due to the merger with PotlatchDeltic. We further expect that regional pine stumpage realizations will trend modestly higher from fourth quarter levels during the year as supply-demand conditions normalize. However, we expect that full-year 2026 average pine stumpage realizations for the combined company's Southern Timber segment will be lower than the standalone realizations for Rayonier in the prior year based on the pro forma 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—reflecting the increase in our sustainable yield due to the merger with PotlatchDeltic. We further 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 based on improving demand conditions, a higher mix of sawtimber, and the pro forma geographic mix of the combined company. However, we anticipate that the combined company's pricing in the Northwest will have increased sensitivity to lumber pricing compared to legacy Rayonier, as a significant portion of our sawlog sales in Idaho are indexed to lumber prices.
• Wood Products: In our Wood Products segment, we've been encouraged by the positive momentum in lumber prices to start the year. For the 11 months of contribution from the Wood Products segment in 2026, we expect lumber shipments to total ~1.1 billion board feet. Based on quarter-to-date price realizations and current lumber pricing, we would expect the Wood Products segment to have a slightly positive contribution to overall Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter.
• Real Estate: We anticipate continued momentum in our Real Estate segment as a combined company to start 2026, supported by a strong pipeline of rural land sales and improved development projects. Based on our current transaction pipeline and sales closed to date, we expect an Adjusted EBITDA contribution in the first quarter of $30 to $35 million dollars. For the full year, we expect an Adjusted EBITDA contribution from our Real Estate segment of $180 to $200 million.
