Company Report

Rayonier Earnings: Asset Sales Loom as Timber Prices Remain Depressed Amid Soft End-Market Demand

No-moat-rated Rayonier reported first-quarter results that were modestly below expectations as selling prices remained pressured. However, we think the important news coming out of the call was with regard to its previously announced shareholder value enhancement plan, in which Rayonier plans to sell $1 billion worth of land. Additionally, the firm remains on track to achieve full-year volume guidance across all timber segments and reiterated full-year adjusted EBITDA expectations of $290 million-$325 million. All things considered, we maintain our fair value estimate of $35 per share.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The vast majority of Rayonier’s timberland is located in the southeastern US This is the most popular region for sawmill capacity increases and will provide a strong avenue for timber volume and price growth.

Bears

Recent spikes in timberland prices could limit Rayonier’s ability to expand its portfolio and force the firm to overpay for timberland acquisitions.
