Forward Looking Statement
This presentation contains statements concerning the company’s future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on various assumptions and may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding these assumptions. Factors listed
below, as well as other factors, may cause actual results to differ significantly from these forward-looking statements. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by these
forward-looking statements will occur. If any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect they will have on company operations or financial condition. The company will not
update these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation.
Some forward-looking statements discuss the company’s plans, strategies and intentions. They use words such as “expects,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “should,” “approximately,”
“anticipates,” “estimates,” and “plans.” In addition, these words may use the positive or negative or other variations of those terms.
We make forward-looking statements regarding the company’s expectations during the second quarter of 2009, including the company’s markets, the effect of facility closures and cost
control measures in the wood products segment, fee timber harvests and log prices, demand and pricing for our wood products, decreases in raw material costs for our wood products
segment, increased expenses for annual planned maintenance in the Cellulose Fiber segment, the effect of potential alternative fuel mixture tax credits, demand and prices for pulp, home
sale closings and prices, earnings and performance of our business segments, capital expenditures and the timing of debt repayments. Major risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
affect the company’s businesses and may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to:
• the effect of general economic conditions, including the level of interest rates, availability of financing for home mortgages, strength of the U.S. dollar, employment rates
and housing starts;
• market demand for the company’s products, which is related to the strength of the various U.S. business segments and economic conditions;
• the successful execution of internal performance plans, including restructurings and cost reduction initiatives;
• the restructuring of the company’s business support functions;
• performance of the company’s manufacturing operations, including maintenance requirements;
• raw material prices;
• energy prices;
• transportation costs;
• performance of pension fund investments and related derivatives;
• contributions to pension plans
• the effect of timing of retirements and changes in the market price of company stock on charges for stock-based compensation;
• the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers;
• the effect of forestry, land use, environmental and other governmental regulations;
• legal proceedings;
• projected tax rates and IRS audit outcomes;
• changes in accounting principles;
• the effect of weather;
• loss from fires, floods, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestation and other natural disasters; and
• other factors described under “Risk Factors” in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K or periodic reports.
The company is a large exporter and is affected by changes in economic activity in Europe and Asia, particularly Japan and China. It also is affected by changes in currency exchange
rates, particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the euro and the Canadian dollar. Restrictions on international trade or tariffs imposed on imports also may affect the company.

Economic Overview - Housing
Lynn Michaelis

VP – Chief Economist
Key messages – housing industry

• At bottom, expect slow rebound in 2009


• High inventory, foreclosures and tougher lending standards
• Increase in existing home sales is a bright spot

• The bubble markets were hit hard


• But low prices and improved affordability are resulting in a surge
of existing home sales

• Rate of rebound depends on national policy actions and


regional employment
At bottom in 2009, but gains momentum in 2010

• Long-term single-family housing fundamentals are favorable

• WRECO is well-positioned in desirable markets


• Market downturn is creating opportunities

• Major business imperatives


• Generate cash
• Reduce and rebalance land position
• Re-underwrite all option deals: either renegotiate or walk
• Sell non-strategic assets
Economic Overview –
Wood Products
Lynn Michaelis

VP – Chief Economist
Key messages – Wood Products markets

• Unprecedented demand drop has driven prices to levels below cash


operating costs

• Prices should rebound to cover cash operating costs for an average mill
• For lumber, need to see prices cover Canadian mill costs
• Canadian dollar is a major issue for both the lumber and OSB price outlook

Canadian lumber delivered costs eventually drive U.S. lumber
and log markets

• U.S. lumber production not sufficient to meet U.S. demand

• Cost structure in Canada is primarily operating costs, not stumpage

• Canadian exchange rate can significantly shift relative cost structure

Different cost structure in Canadian lumber industry

• In Canada, labor and energy costs account for 75-85% of total lumber
costs
• Much higher delivered log prices due to harvest and haul costs
• Stumpage is formula driven

• In U.S., labor and energy costs account for only 40-50% of labor cost
• Stumpage prices reflect logistic advantage and species premiums
For average mill to breakeven, need $25/mbf price lift

Summary - Wood Products

• Another challenging year given housing starts and excess capacity


• Prices need to reflect cash operating costs for average mills eventually
• Log prices moved sharply lower in late 2008—will help U.S. sawmill cost
position in 2009

• Very challenging for OSB and engineered lumber in 2009-10 given low
operating rates

• Financial owners taking longer term view

• Long-term trend appreciation based on:


• Historic returns and expected rebound in housing starts
• Decline in Canadian harvest due to Mountain pine beetle
• Additional revenue from non-traditional sources

More to timberland valuation story

• Finite resource capable of providing multiple values such as land


appreciation, timber production and appreciation, and non-timber income
• Potential government actions could boost those values

Financial Overview
Patty Bedient

Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer


Liquidity and debt maturities

• Over $1.7 billion cash and short-term investments


at March 31, 2009

• Near-term debt maturities (including WRECO)


• 2009 $458 million
• 2010 43 million
• 2011 30 million

• $2.2 billion in unused committed bank facilities

• BBB- (stable) / Ba1 (stable)


Reducing cash expenditures

• Variable cost reductions


• $375 million SG&A target reached
• Froze salaries
• Eliminated 401-K match
• More actions to come

• Capital expenditures less than $200 million

• Quarterly dividend $0.25/share


REIT update

• Actions taken to increase flexibility to consider REIT conversion


• Calendar year adopted
• Legal reorganization
• Wholly owned subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Company holds
manufacturing and real estate assets
Conversion unlikely in 2009

• Limitations on NOL carryback

• Low level of timber income reduces 2009 benefit

• Earnings and profit distribution


Other considerations

• REIT technical tests


• TRS market value less than 25% of gross REIT assets
• Dividends from TRS limited to 25% of REIT qualifying income
• Other income limited to 5%

• Monitoring potential tax policy changes
