Weyerhaeuser Company (WY) Citi’s Miami Global Property CEO Conference 2026 summary

Strategic overview and growth targets

• Focus on four value levers: asset portfolio, performance, capital allocation, and accelerated growth, underpinned by a high-performance culture and operational excellence.

• Largest private timberland owner in North America, managing 10 million acres in the U.S. and 13 million in Canada, with significant wood products and distribution operations.

• Achieved or exceeded all 2021 multi-year targets by 2025, including $1B timber acquisition and $100M Climate Solutions EBITDA.

• New growth targets aim for $1.5B incremental Adjusted EBITDA by 2030, with $1B from initiatives and $500M from pricing uplift.

• Capital allocation prioritizes shareholder returns, business investment, and investment-grade credit, with a 75-80% cash return framework.

Timberlands business and market conditions

• Southern timberlands market remains stable, with localized pricing uplift where new mill capacity has been added.

• Export program expansion in the South, especially breakbulk shipping to India and Southeast Asia, targets cost reductions and market growth.

• Active timberland portfolio management focuses on selling lower quality and acquiring higher quality assets, increasing EBITDA on fewer acres.

• Anticipated volume growth in Western timberlands as post-Mount St. Helens forests reach harvest age, with increased utility pole sales.

• Timberland transaction market remains competitive for high-quality assets, with $2-3B annual volume and stable discount rates around 4.5%.

Wood products and manufacturing

• North American sawmill capacity has declined, improving supply-demand balance and supporting better lumber pricing in 2026.

• Canadian lumber imports face a 45% tariff, reducing competition and opening new U.S. markets for Southern Yellow Pine.

• OSB market has stabilized after mill closures, with improved pricing and extended order files heading into the spring build season.

• Growth initiatives include investments in manufacturing efficiency, new TimberStrand mill in Arkansas (online 2027), and expanded distribution.

• New product development is being re-energized, with launches like AeroStrand and a pipeline of innovations to drive future growth.
