Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General
PotlatchDeltic Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in this report as PotlatchDeltic, the company, us, we or our) is a leading timberland Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with operations in nine states. We are engaged in activities associated with timberland management, including the sale of timber, the ownership and management of
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2025. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and requires judgments affecting the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are, from time to time, subject to various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the information currently available, we do not anticipate that any amounts we may be required to pay in connection with these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or net cash flows.
In May 2025, we paid $
Pending Merger with Rayonier Inc.
Refer to Note 13: Pending Merger with Rayonier Inc. in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our pending merger with Rayonier Inc.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that public entities, on an annual basis, (i) disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items, including disaggregation by jurisdiction, that meet a quantitative threshold prescribed by the standard. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2025 will be reflected in our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. As ASU 2023-09 impacts disclosures only, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated quantitative disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of prescribed expense categories included within relevant income statement expense captions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU. As the standard impacts disclosures only, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. ASU 2025-06 should be applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period reclassifications were made to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income, net income per share, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, total assets, total liabilities, or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
NOTE 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operations are organized into
Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices as if the sales were to third parties, and typically represent a sizable portion of the Timberlands segment's total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of the valuation of inventories, which are reported using the average cost method for purposes of reporting segment results.

Table of Contents
The company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) uses segment information to assess performance, allocate capital and personnel, budget and forecast, and determine compensation of certain employees, among other things. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDDA to evaluate the operating performance and effectiveness of operating strategies of our segments and allocation of resources to them.
EBITDDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
The following tables summarize information for each of the company’s reportable segments and include a reconciliation of Segment operating income (loss) as the closest measurement to GAAP for the reportable segments to Segment Adjusted EBITDDA.

For stock-based awards, the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the dilutive effect is computed as if the shares subject to the awards were outstanding at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and assumes the related proceeds were used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Related proceeds include future compensation cost associated with the stock award.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were

Deferred revenue predominately relates to hunting and other access rights on our timberlands, payments received for lumber shipments where control of goods has not transferred, member-related activities at an owned country club and any post-close obligations for real estate sales. These deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the respective contract, which is typically twelve months or less, except for country club initiation fees which are recognized over the average life of club membership. |

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage certain cash flow and fair value risks. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a specific asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered cash flow hedges. All our cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged interest rate risk through the term of the hedges.
At September 30, 2025, we had interest rate swaps associated with $

Realized gains and losses on interest rate contracts consist of realized net cash received or paid and interest accruals on the interest rate swaps during the periods in addition to amortization of amounts out of other comprehensive income (loss) related to certain terminated hedges and adjustments to interest expense resulting from amortization of inception value of certain off-market designated hedges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $ |

At December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt included principal and unamortized discounts. |
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on third-party sources, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate forward curves.
The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar debt issues or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price.

Table of Contents
The contract value of our company owned life insurance is based on the amount at which it could be redeemed and, accordingly, approximates fair value.
We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and payables have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
NOTE 8. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income from investments in real estate, including our timberlands, that we distribute to our stockholders. We conduct certain activities through our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a TRS), which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These activities are principally composed of our wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income tax expense or benefit is primarily due to pre-tax book income or loss of the TRS, as well as permanent book versus tax differences and discrete items.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBBA) was enacted, permanently extending certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The legislation includes staggered effective dates through 2027. As of September 30, 2025, we analyzed the impact of this legislation, including the reinstatement of
NOTE 10. LEASES
We lease certain equipment, office space and land. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Our Company
We are a leading timberland REIT with ownership of 2.1 million acres of timberland. We also own six sawmills, an industrial grade plywood mill, a residential and commercial real estate development business and a rural timberland sales program. Our operations are organized into three business segments: Timberlands, Wood Products and Real Estate. Our Timberlands segment supplies our Wood Products segment a portion of its wood fiber needs. Intersegment revenues due to these sales are based on prevailing market prices and represent a significant portion of the Timberlands segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues. In the discussion of our consolidated results of operations, our revenues and expenses are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses; however, in the Business Segment Results discussion below, each segment’s results, as applicable, are presented prior to these eliminations.
Our business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including U.S. tariff and trade policies, the U.S. housing market (including mortgage interest rates, home building activity and repair and remodel activity) duties and trade agreements, changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland, lumber prices, weather conditions, disruptions or inefficiencies in our
24
Table of Contents
supply chain including the availability of transportation, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our Wood Products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs, transportation costs, inflation, asset dispositions or acquisitions, impact of pandemics, fires at our Wood Product facilities or on our timberlands, other natural disasters, government regulation and enforcement actions, and other factors.
Some of the equipment, parts, and materials used in our operations are sourced from outside the United States. As a result, the imposition of tariffs on imported goods could lead to increased operating costs. Although our international sales are currently limited, the products manufactured by our Wood Products facilities are commodity-based and sensitive to global supply and demand fluctuations. Recent and ongoing U.S. trade policy actions have contributed to elevated macroeconomic uncertainty and reduced consumer confidence. These developments, along with potential retaliatory measures by other countries, as well as the outcomes of relevant executive orders and trade investigations, could influence supply and demand trends, increase our operating costs, and affect pricing for our products. While the long-term effects of these trade dynamics remain unclear, we are actively monitoring changes in the tariff environment. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for a discussion regarding tariff-related risks.
Further, we believe global efforts to address climate change also present growth opportunities. As companies and governments pursue net-zero targets, we believe we are well positioned to provide products and services that support these goals through natural climate solutions offerings, including selling or leasing land for renewable energy projects such as solar power generation facilities, supplying biomass for green energy, participating in forest carbon offset and carbon capture and storage projects, and emerging technologies that allow wood fiber to be used in applications ranging from biofuels to bioplastics.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we present certain non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis, including Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which are defined and further explained and reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the Liquidity and Performance Measures section below. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.
See Note 2: Segment Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the use of Adjusted EBITDDA for our segments.
Business and Economic Trends Affecting Our Operations
The performance of our Timberlands, Wood Products, and Real Estate segments reflects the cyclical nature of the forest products and real estate industries. These cycles are influenced by seasonal weather patterns, macroeconomic conditions, and regional market dynamics, all of which continue to shape our operations and financial outcomes. Log and pulpwood sales volumes are typically lower in the first half of the year due to weather-related challenges. In the Southern U.S., winter rains limit access to logging sites, while in the Northern U.S., the spring thaw has a similar effect, reducing harvesting activity. As a result, the third quarter tends to be our Timberlands segment’s most productive period.
Timber demand is closely tied to broader needs for lumber, pulp, paper, and packaging, and is especially sensitive to trends in U.S. home construction and renovation. Regional differences also play a role in market behavior. For example, log markets in Idaho remain relatively balanced, while parts of the Southern U.S. — historically oversupplied — are now experiencing tighter supply conditions driven by increased mill capacity. This shift underscores the growing strategic importance of the Southern region in the North American timber market.
Macroeconomic factors, including interest rates and housing trends, continue to impact our business. The U.S. Federal Reserve began cutting benchmark interest rates in late 2024, followed by additional 25 basis point reductions in September and October 2025. While not directly linked to short-term benchmark rates, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate improved during the first nine months of 2025, ending September at approximately 6.3%, down 55 basis points from year-end 2024. Persistent economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, fiscal concerns, and global trade tensions have contributed to housing affordability challenges and stagnant growth in new housing starts.
According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau report, total privately-owned housing starts in August 2025 exceeded 1.3 million units (seasonally adjusted). Single-family starts averaged approximately 0.9 million units between March and August 2025, slightly below the trailing 12-month average. Authorized building permits for single-family homes also averaged nearly 0.9 million units, consistent with the trailing 12-month average.
25
Table of Contents
Builder sentiment improved in October 2025, with the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rising five points from September to 37 — the highest level since April. This uptick may reflect cautious optimism, supported by easing mortgage rates and stronger forward-looking sales expectations. However, continued promotional pricing and persistent supply-side challenges suggest that recovery remains uneven. Elevated material costs, labor shortages, limited land availability, and economic policy uncertainty continue to weigh on the housing market.
The repair and remodel (R&R) sector — the largest driver of lumber demand — slowed in 2024 but is forecasted to grow through 2026. While discretionary remodel activity has softened, structural and maintenance-related demand remains resilient. Many homeowners are choosing to stay in place and reinvest in existing homes, supporting demand for treated lumber, sheathing, and panels. We remain optimistic about the long-term housing and R&R outlook, supported by structural undersupply, historically low inventory, strong demographic demand (particularly from millennials in their prime home-buying years), elevated home equity, aging housing stock, and a preference for upgrading existing homes.
In our Timberlands segment, a significant portion of Idaho sawlog prices are indexed on a one-month lag to lumber prices. In the third quarter of 2025, our average sawlog prices in the Northern region increased year-over-year, primarily due to higher average cedar prices and indexed lumber prices. In the Southern region, timber price realization remained consistent with the third quarter of 2024. Total harvest volume for the Timberlands segment was 1.9 million tons during the third quarter of 2025, which was slightly lower than the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to more Northern harvest activity in the first half of 2025 due to favorable operating conditions. Further, tepid market conditions in the South during the third quarter of 2025 led to production curtailment and extended downtime at mills in several Southern markets. We expect to harvest 1.7 to 1.8 million tons during the fourth quarter of 2025, with approximately 80% from the Southern region.
In our Wood Products segment, demand is seasonal, with typically lower activity in winter and stronger demand from spring through fall, consistent with typical construction cycles. The third quarter of 2025 experienced improved results year-over-year, driven by increased shipments, particularly from our Waldo, Arkansas sawmill. The Waldo facility completed its ramp-up in early 2025 following the completion of its expansion and modernization project (the Modernization Project) late in the second quarter of 2024. Division-wide, we expect to ship between 290 and 300 million board feet of lumber during the fourth quarter of 2025.
In the third quarter of 2025, our Real Estate segment benefited from two large rural land sales in Georgia and a 13-acre commercial sale in Chenal Valley. Development real estate sales occur year-round and are influenced by neighborhood offerings, infrastructure completion and contractor availability. We expect to sell approximately 5,000 rural acres and 46 residential lots in Chenal Valley during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Pending Merger with Rayonier
On October 13, 2025, we entered into a Merger Agreement with Rayonier and Merger Sub, pursuant to which PotlatchDeltic will merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Rayonier. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, each PotlatchDeltic stockholder will receive 1.7339 shares of Rayonier common shares for each share of PotlatchDeltic common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares at the Effective Time of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments, including with respect to the Rayonier Special Dividend. The Merger has been unanimously approved by both companies’ boards of directors and remains subject to shareholder approvals, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2026. Refer to Note 13: Pending Merger with Rayonier Inc. in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Additional details regarding the Merger Agreement are included as Exhibit 2.1 in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 14, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Compared with Third Quarter 2024
Revenues
Revenues for the third quarter of 2025 increased $59.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to increased lumber shipments, primarily from our Waldo, Arkansas facility, increased Northern sawlog prices, two large rural real estate sales in the Southern region in 2025, and a 13-acre commercial land sale in Chenal Valley. There were no similar large-scale rural real estate transactions or commercial acres sold in the third quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by lower harvest activity, primarily in the Southern region, and lower lumber prices.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold increased $29.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 largely due to increased fiber and manufacturing costs associated with higher lumber shipments in our Wood Products segment, along with increased rural real estate and commercial acres sold. These increases were partially offset by lower logging and hauling costs resulting from lower harvest activity.
Merger-related expenses
Merger-related expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $1.9 million related to professional service fees associated with our pending merger with Rayonier.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $1.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to less interest income earned on lower average cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts.
Income taxes
Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our PotlatchDeltic taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.4 million on TRS loss before tax of $5.9 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.1 million on TRS loss before tax of $15.6 million.

Table of Contents
Total Adjusted EBITDDA
Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the third quarter of 2025 increased $43.4 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to more rural real estate and commercial development acreage sold and increased lumber shipments. These increases were partially offset by lower harvest volumes and slightly lower lumber prices. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments. See Liquidity and Performance Measures for a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income, the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.
Year to Date 2025 Compared with Year to Date 2024
Revenues
Revenues for the first nine months of 2025 increased $53.5 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 due to higher average lumber prices, increased lumber shipments, primarily from our Waldo, Arkansas facility, and higher Northern sawlog prices. These increases were partially offset by lower Southern sawlog volume, fewer rural real estate acres sold as 2024 included a $56.7 million sale of 34,100 acres of rural timberland to Forest Investment Associates (FIA), and fewer premium residential lots sold in Chenal Valley.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $5.3 million compared to the first nine months of 2024, mainly due to fewer rural real estate acres sold and reduced logging and hauling costs in the Southern region from lower harvest activities. Further, the first half of 2024 also included additional depreciation on Waldo, Arkansas sawmill equipment that was removed upon completion of the Modernization Project in June 2024. These impacts were partially offset by increased fiber and manufacturing costs associated with higher lumber shipments, particularly at our Waldo, Arkansas sawmill.
Merger-related expenses
Merger-related expenses during the first nine months of 2025 were $1.9 million related to professional service fees associated with our pending merger with Rayonier.
Environmental charge
During the first quarter of 2025, we accrued an additional $0.5 million related to our voluntary participation as a non-federal sponsor in a sediment contamination remediation project in Minnesota. Refer to Note 1: Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $5.3 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to less interest income earned on lower average cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts.
Income taxes
Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our TRS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax benefit of $5.3 million on TRS loss before tax of $22.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $12.9 million on TRS loss before tax of $51.1 million.
Total Adjusted EBITDDA
Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the first nine months of 2025 increased $25.9 million primarily due to higher lumber prices and shipments along with increased Northern sawlog prices. These increases were partially offset by lower Southern harvest volumes, fewer rural real estate acres sold, and fewer premium residential lot sales in Chenal Valley. Refer to the Business Segment Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments.

Table of Contents
Future Sources and Uses of Cash
At September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $88.8 million. We expect cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from our operating activities, and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement, if needed, to be adequate to meet our future cash requirements. At September 30, 2025, there were no significant changes in our cash commitments arising in the normal course of business under our known contractual and other obligations as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Further, we believe our current liquidity level is sufficient to fund our business, including costs related to the proposed merger with Rayonier, and meet both our short-term (next 12 months) and reasonably foreseeable long-term requirements.
Capital Expenditures
We invest cash in maintenance and discretionary capital expenditures at our Wood Products facilities. We also invest cash in the reforestation of timberlands and construction of roads in our Timberlands operations and to develop land in our Real Estate development operations. We evaluate discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of return on investments. We expect to spend approximately $60.0 million to $65.0 million for capital expenditures during 2025, not including the final closeout payment of $6.6 million for the Waldo sawmill Modernization Project made in the first quarter of 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). At September 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization of $30.0 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or through privately negotiated transactions. Subject to the terms of any trading plan, the 2022 Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.
Term Loans, Credit Agreement, and Interest Rate Swap Agreements
At September 30, 2025, our total outstanding long-term debt was $1.0 billion, all of which was drawn under an amended and restated credit agreement dated as of March 22, 2018 (Amended Term Loan Agreement) with our primary lender, AgWest Farm Credit, PCA (as successor in interest to Northwest Farm Credit Services, PCA). All interest rates on our outstanding long-term debt are variable-rate term loans with an associated interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark interest rate component. Of this amount, approximately $27.5 million was classified as current on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consisting of a term loan that matures in February 2026. We are currently evaluating options to either refinance or pay off with cash on hand the $27.5 million term loan when it matures.
On August 27, 2025, we entered into the twelfth amendment to our Amended Term Loan Agreement, establishing a new unsecured multi-segment term loan facility (the New Term Loan) with a total commitment of up to $127.5 million, maturing on August 27, 2035. An initial draw of $100.0 million under the New Term Loan was used to refinance a $100.0 million term loan under the Amended Term Loan Agreement that matured on August 27, 2025. The remaining $27.5 million commitment under the New Term Loan agreement will be available on February 2, 2026, to refinance a variable-rate term loan maturing on that date if we choose to refinance the loan upon maturity. The New Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to daily simple SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.30% per annum. The agreement includes a cost-of-capital reset provision at the third, sixth, and ninth anniversaries of the refinance at the sole discretion of the lender.
In connection with refinancing the $100.0 million term loan under the New Term Loan agreement, we terminated our remaining $75.0 million forward-starting interest rate swap and transferred the value realized from its termination into a new interest rate swap to fix the rate on the $100.0 million drawn on the New Term Loan at 4.11%, including margin but before patronage credits from lenders. Following this transaction, we had no remaining forward-starting interest rate swaps.
We have a $300.0 million revolving line of credit with a syndicate of lenders, that matures February 14, 2027 (Amended Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the amount of available principal may be increased up to an additional $500.0 million. We may also utilize borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance existing indebtedness and provide funding for working capital requirements, capital projects, acquisitions, and other general corporate expenditures. At September 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $0.6 million of the credit facility was utilized by outstanding letters of credit.
See Note 5: Debt and Note 6: Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt, credit, and interest rate swap agreements.

Financial Covenants
The Amended Term Loan Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement (collectively referred to as the Financing Agreements) contain certain covenants that limit our ability and that of our subsidiaries to create liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur indebtedness and guarantees, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates or change the nature of our business. The Financing Agreements also contain financial maintenance covenants including the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio as defined in the Financing Agreements. We are permitted to pay dividends to our stockholders under the terms of the Financing Agreements so long as we expect to remain in compliance with the financial maintenance covenants.

Liquidity and Performance Measures
The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, and our ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures: Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD). These measures are not defined by GAAP and the discussion of Total Adjusted EBITDDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to other similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.
Total Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses in evaluating performance and to allocate resources between segments. Total Adjusted EBITDDA removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors and other interested parties by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented and the identification of trends in our underlying business. It also can be used to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management and to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and against the operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes, basis of real estate sold, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDDA further excludes certain specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.
We reconcile Total Adjusted EBITDDA to net income (loss) for the consolidated company as it is the most comparable GAAP measure.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the respective periods:

We define CAD as cash from operating activities adjusted for capital spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and roads and timberland acquisitions not classified as strategic. Management believes CAD is a useful indicator of the company’s overall liquidity, as it provides a measure of cash generated that is available for dividends to common stockholders (an important factor in maintaining our REIT status), repurchase of the company’s common shares, debt repayment, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary activities. Our definition of CAD is limited in that it does not solely represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view CAD as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our definition of CAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes during 2025 to our critical accounting policies or estimates as presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risk exposure on financial instruments includes interest rate risk on our bank credit facility, term loans and interest rate swap agreements. We are exposed to interest rate volatility on existing variable rate debt instruments and future incurrences of fixed or variable rate debt, which exposure primarily relates to movements in various interest rates. We use interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps to hedge our exposure to the impact of interest rate changes on existing debt and future debt issuances, respectively. All market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than for trading purposes.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2025. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We believe there is no pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity.
SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental provisions if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, we use a threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business and results of operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. For a discussion of our risk factors, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. With the exception of the risk factors noted below and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed therein. The following risk factors and other information included in this report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face; others, either unforeseen or currently deemed not material, may also have a negative impact on our company. If any of the following occurs, our business, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our Pending Merger with Rayonier Inc.
Completion of the Merger is uncertain and subject to risks outside our control, and a delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the expected benefits from the Merger.
The Merger is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are beyond our control, that could prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the completion of the transaction. Such conditions include approval by shareholders of both companies, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. There is no assurance these conditions will be met or that the Merger will close on the expected timeline, or at all. Failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect our business, including adverse market reactions, customer and employee uncertainty, additional costs and litigation risk. We may also incur significant costs, including a termination fee equal to $138 million that would become payable in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.
Similarly, a delay in completing the Merger could cause the combined company not to realize some or all of the synergies and other benefits that it expects to achieve if the Merger is successfully completed within its expected time frame. Although the two parties will continue to operate independently until completion of the Merger, the Merger Agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of each of the parties’ respective businesses through completion of the Merger. These restrictions could adversely affect our ability to execute business strategies or pursue attractive business opportunities, particularly if the completion of the Merger is delayed. In addition, a delay could enhance the risks that management would focus on completion of the Merger instead of on other opportunities that could be beneficial to the company.

Table of Contents
The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either PotlatchDeltic’s or Rayonier’s stock price.
Each share of PotlatchDeltic common stock will convert into 1.7339 shares of Rayonier common shares, subject to adjustment for the Rayonier Special Dividend. This Exchange Ratio will not change based on fluctuations in either company’s stock price. As a result, the market value of the Merger Consideration may vary. Factors influencing stock prices include:
The market prices of shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock and Rayonier common shares at the closing of the Merger may vary from their respective prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed and on the date of the special meeting of PotlatchDeltic’s stockholders. As a result, the market value represented by the Exchange Ratio will also vary. Accordingly, at the time of the PotlatchDeltic’s special meeting of stockholders, PotlatchDeltic stockholders will not know or be able to determine the market value of the consideration they will receive upon completion of the Merger. In addition, if the market price of Rayonier common shares declines between the date the Merger Agreement was signed or the date of the special meeting and the closing of the Merger, including for any of the reasons described above, PotlatchDeltic stockholders will receive Rayonier shares that have a market value upon completion of the Merger that is less than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed or on the date of the special meeting, respectively.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer, or could result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PotlatchDeltic has agreed not to (i) solicit proposals relating to certain alternative transactions, (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations or provide non-public information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction from a third party or (iii) approve or enter into any agreements providing for any such alternative transaction, in each case, subject to certain exceptions to permit members of the PotlatchDeltic board of directors to comply with their duties as directors under applicable law. Notwithstanding these “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the PotlatchDeltic stockholder approval, under specified circumstances the PotlatchDeltic board of directors may change its recommendation with respect to the Merger, and if the approval of our stockholders is not obtained, PotlatchDeltic may terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal upon payment of the termination fee described below.
The Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, PotlatchDeltic may be required to pay Rayonier a termination fee equal to $138 million, including, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as a result of a change in recommendation by the PotlatchDeltic board of directors, or in the event of termination at a time when a competing proposal has become public and not withdrawn and is later consummated. These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer from considering or proposing an acquisition of PotlatchDeltic, even if it were prepared to pay a higher premium than that proposed in the Merger.
PotlatchDeltic stockholders will be diluted by the Merger.
The Merger will result in PotlatchDeltic stockholders having an ownership stake in the combined company that is smaller than their current stake in PotlatchDeltic. Following the Merger, PotlatchDeltic stockholders will own approximately 46% of the combined company, while Rayonier stockholders will own approximately 54%. This reduced ownership may limit PotlatchDeltic stockholders’ influence over corporate decisions. Additionally, certain equity awards may vest or accelerate, potentially increasing compensation expense and affecting employee retention.

Table of Contents
We may become subject to legal proceedings relating to the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Transactions like the Merger are frequently the subject of litigation or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that either our board of directors or Rayonier’s board of directors, as applicable, breached its respective duties to its stockholders or shareholders, respectively, or other equity holders by entering into the Merger Agreement; by failing to obtain a greater value in the transaction for PotlatchDeltic’s stockholders or Rayonier’s shareholders or other equity holders; by failing to make adequate disclosures; or by otherwise failing to fulfill their fiduciary duties or statutory obligations. While no such litigation is pending or threatened as of the date of this report, litigation or other legal proceedings may be brought against us or against our board of directors in connection with the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby. In such circumstances, we intend to defend against it, but we may not be successful in doing so. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs, time, and effort of a defense, even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate the Merger or on our business, results of operations, or financial position, including through the delay of the Merger, the possible diversion of either company’s resources, or the distraction of key personnel.
Uncertainty and restrictions related to the Merger may adversely affect our business.
The announcement and pendency of the Merger may create uncertainty for employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. This could impair our ability to retain talent and maintain relationships. Restrictions on business operations prior to closing may limit our responsiveness to opportunities or competitive threats.
Risks Related to the Combined Company
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger and will incur significant costs.
The success of the Merger depends on our ability to realize anticipated synergies and benefits, which may be affected by challenges in integrating operations, cultures, and systems. Integration may be complex, costly, and time-consuming, and there is no assurance these benefits will be achieved as expected. It is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of the combined company’s management, the disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business, or inconsistencies in the combined company’s operations, services, standards, controls, procedures, and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of the combined company to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger, or could otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company. In addition, under certain of our or Rayonier’s existing contractual arrangements, the Merger may constitute a change of control or cause certain other triggering events. In such an event, the counterparty may exercise certain rights under such agreement upon the closing of the Merger, which may include termination rights, consent or notice obligations, fees or penalties, pre-payment obligations, and/or rights of first refusal, or similar arrangements, which could adversely impact the anticipated benefits of the Merger, increase costs, and/or impact the combined company’s future performance or operations.
In addition, we expect to incur substantial transaction and integration costs, some of which will be incurred regardless of whether the Merger is completed. There are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the combined company’s expenses relating to the completion of the Merger and the integration of the combined company’s operations. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the expenses associated with the Merger could, particularly in the near term, reduce the savings that the combined company expects to achieve following the completion of the Merger. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee to Rayonier equal to $138 million.
The combined company may incur adverse tax consequences if either PotlatchDeltic or Rayonier has failed or fails, or if the combined company fails to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Both companies intend to maintain REIT status under U.S. federal tax law. Qualification depends on complex legal and factual determinations. If either company, or the combined company, fails to qualify, the combined company may face significant tax liabilities and risk losing REIT status. Additionally, a failure of either PotlatchDeltic or Rayonier to qualify as a REIT could impair the combined company’s ability after the Merger to expand its business and raise capital, and could materially adversely affect the value of Rayonier’s common shares.

Table of Contents
Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees of PotlatchDeltic or Rayonier, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of the combined company following the Merger.
PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans and conduct operations. The combined company’s success after the Merger will depend in part upon its ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees of PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier. Merger-related uncertainty may lead to departures or difficulty attracting talent, which could disrupt operations and strategic execution. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to retain key management personnel and other key employees of PotlatchDeltic and Rayonier or attract talent.
The dividends paid by the combined company may be less than the rates currently paid by PotlatchDeltic or Rayonier.
Following the Merger, PotlatchDeltic stockholders may not receive dividends at the same rate they received dividends as PotlatchDeltic stockholders before the Merger, for reasons that may include any of the following factors:
The market price and trading volume of stock of the newly combined company may be volatile in the future as a result of the Merger.
The market price of the newly combined company’s common stock may decline in the future as a result of the Merger for a number of reasons, including management’s inability to successfully integrate the two companies or failure to achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger, including financial results, as rapidly as or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts. Failure to successfully integrate the two companies could negatively impact our revenues, earnings and cash flows, and could materially adversely affect our ability to pay dividends at historical levels, or at all.
Additionally, in the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against public companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, our ability to execute our business strategy and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements like the Merger Agreement. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Lawsuits that may be brought against PotlatchDeltic, Rayonier or their respective directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the Merger Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Merger.
One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is that no injunction by any governmental entity having jurisdiction over PotlatchDeltic, Rayonier or the Merger Sub has been entered and continues to be in effect and no law has been adopted, in either case, that prohibits the closing of the Merger. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, that injunction may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect PotlatchDeltic's and Rayonier’s respective business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. There can be no assurance that any of the defendants would be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Merger is completed may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Table of Contents
The combined company’s anticipated level of indebtedness will increase upon completion of the Merger.
Upon completion of the Merger, the combined company intends to assume and/or refinance certain indebtedness of PotlatchDeltic and, assuming that occurs, the combined company’s consolidated indebtedness will increase substantially and it will be subject to increased risks associated with debt financing, including an increased risk that the combined company’s cash flow could be insufficient to meet required payments on its debt securities or other indebtedness or to pay dividends on its common shares or any preferred shares it may issue. The combined company’s increased indebtedness could have important consequences to holders of its common shares and its debt securities including:
If the combined company defaults under a debt instrument, it will be in default under any other debt instrument that has cross-default provisions, the holders of all such indebtedness may be entitled to demand its immediate repayment.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On August 31, 2022, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock with no set time limit for the repurchase (the 2022 Repurchase Program). Shares under the 2022 Repurchase Program may be repurchased in open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), or through privately negotiated transactions. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization of $30.0 million for future stock repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to settlement date when cash is disbursed.
