Rayonier Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) today reported second quarter net income of
$37.4 million, or 47 cents per share, compared to $33.3 million, or 42
cents per share, in second quarter 2007. Year-to-date net income was
$78.0 million, or 98 cents per share, compared to $68.4 million, or 87
cents per share, in the first six months of 2007. Prior year results
included a $10 million loss from forest fires. Excluding this item,
earnings for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 were
$43.4 million, or 55 cents per share, and $78.5 million, or $1.00 per
share, respectively.

"Second quarter results were solid despite challenging markets and
the overall weakness in the economy," said Lee M. Thomas, Chairman,
President and CEO. "Strong demand in Performance Fibers and continued
interest in non-strategic timberlands partially offset softness in
sawlog prices and higher costs in Performance Fibers."

Cash provided by operating activities of $155 million for the six
months ended June 30 was $23 million above the 2007 comparable period
primarily due to lower working capital requirements. Year-to-date,
cash available for distribution(1) of $97 million was $10 million
below 2007. (See Schedule H for more details.)

Timber

For second quarter 2008, sales of $55 million were $1 million
below second quarter 2007, while operating income of $9 million was
$12 million below the prior year excluding the $10 million fire loss.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales of $103 million were $19
million below the comparable prior year period, while operating income
of $22 million was $26 million lower. The 2008 results reflect lower
sawlog pricing due to the weak housing market and oversupply of
salvaged timber in the Northwest from a December 2007 storm. The
impact of lower prices was partially mitigated by increased volumes as
we shifted our focus to meet strong pulpwood demand. Based on current
conditions, the Company expects to continue its planned reduction in
sawtimber harvest for the balance of the year thereby preserving
higher-value timber until markets improve.

Real Estate

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, sales were $23 million,
$6 million below the prior year period, and operating income was $15
million, $9 million below second quarter 2007. The decline was
primarily due to a shift in sales from development to rural properties
and non-strategic timberlands. Also affecting the quarter's results
was a decline in price per acre for rural properties reflecting a
change in our geographic sales mix.

Year-to-date 2008 sales and operating income were $53 million and
$36 million, respectively. Sales improved $3 million from the prior
year period due to a greater number of acres sold but operating income
declined $3 million due to the shift in mix toward rural properties
and non-strategic timberlands.

Performance Fibers

Sales for the quarter of $187 million were $19 million above
second quarter 2007. For the six months, sales of $362 million were
$28 million above the prior year period. Sales increased as higher
prices more than offset a decline in absorbent materials volumes. For
the quarter, sales also benefited from increased cellulose specialty
volumes.

Operating income for second quarter of $37 million was $6 million
above the same quarter last year. Year-to-date operating income of $74
million was $16 million above the prior year period. Increased prices
and lower depreciation expense more than offset higher chemical, wood,
energy and maintenance costs.

Other Items

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, corporate
expenses were $8 million and $15 million, down $1 million and $2
million from the prior year periods, respectively.

Interest expense for the quarter of $12 million was $2 million
lower than second quarter 2007. Year-to-date interest expense of $23
million was $4 million below the prior year period. Lower interest
rates resulting from the fourth quarter 2007 debt refinancing more
than offset higher average debt balances due to strategic
acquisitions.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008
was 11.9 percent compared to 23.0 percent for the prior year period.
Year-to-date, the effective tax rate was 16.4 percent compared to 20.3
percent for the same period last year. The decreased rates are due to
proportionately lower earnings from the Company's taxable REIT
subsidiary. (See Schedule J for further details.)

Outlook

"Given the continued weak outlook for sawlogs, we expect third
quarter and full year 2008 earnings to be below prior year periods as
we continue to limit our harvest. In Performance Fibers, results are
expected to be above prior year with strong demand for our cellulose
specialty products more than offsetting escalating raw material,
energy and transportation costs," said Thomas. "In Real Estate, we
anticipate continued interest for rural HBU properties and expect to
sell additional non-strategic timberlands to take advantage of
favorable demand. Real Estate sales are expected to be more heavily
weighted to the fourth quarter. Overall, cash available for
distribution is expected to remain strong, although below 2007."

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated
financial outcomes including earnings guidance, if any, business and
market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to
Rayonier's future financial and operational performance, are
"forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are
identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should,"
"expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate" and other similar
language. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and undue reliance should not be placed on these
statements.

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking
statements that may have been made in this document: the cyclical and
competitive nature of the industries in which we operate; fluctuations
in demand for, or supply of, our forest products and real estate
offerings; entry of new competitors into our markets; changes in
global economic conditions and world events, including political
changes in particular regions or countries; changes in energy and raw
material prices, particularly for our performance fibers and wood
products businesses; impacts of the rising cost of fuel, including the
cost and availability of transportation for our products, both
domestically and internationally, and the cost and availability of
third party logging and trucking services; unanticipated equipment
maintenance and repair requirements at our manufacturing facilities;
the geographic concentration of a significant portion of our
timberland; our ability to identify and complete timberland
acquisitions; changes in environmental laws and regulations, including
laws regarding air emissions and water discharges, remediation of
contaminated sites, timber harvesting, delineation of wetlands, and
endangered species, that may restrict or adversely impact our ability
to conduct our business, or increase the cost of doing so; adverse
weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events
such as hurricanes, wind storms and wildfires, which can adversely
affect our timberlands and the production, distribution and
availability of our products and raw materials such as wood, energy
and chemicals; interest rate and currency movements; the availability
of credits generally, including its impact on the cost and terms of
obtaining financing; our capacity to incur additional debt, and any
decision we may make to do so; changes in tariffs, taxes or treaties
relating to the import and export of our products or those of our
competitors; the ability to complete like-kind-exchanges of
timberlands and real estate; changes in key management and personnel;
our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT and to fund distributions
using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries; and
changes in tax laws that could reduce the benefits associated with
REIT status.

In addition, specifically with respect to our Real Estate
business, the following important factors, among others, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document:
the cyclical nature of the real estate business generally, including
fluctuations in demand for both entitled and unentitled property; the
lengthy, uncertain and costly process associated with the ownership,
entitlement and development of real estate, especially in Florida,
which also may be affected by changes in law, policy and political
factors beyond our control; the potential for legal challenges to
entitlements and permits in connection with our properties; unexpected
delays in the entry into or closing of real estate transactions; the
existence of competing developers and communities in the markets in
which we own property; the pace of development and the rate and timing
of absorption of existing entitled property in the markets in which we
own property; changes in the demographics affecting projected
population growth and migration to the Southeastern U.S.; changes in
environmental laws and regulations, including laws regarding water
withdrawal and management and delineation of wetlands, that may
restrict or adversely impact our ability to sell or develop
properties; the cost of the development of property generally,
including the cost of property taxes, labor and construction
materials; the timing of construction and availability of public
infrastructure; and the availability of financing for real estate
development and mortgage loans.

Additional factors are described in the company's most recent Form
10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rayonier
assumes no obligation to update these statements except as is required
by law.
