Notes to Condensed Consolid ated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

For purposes of this report, any reference to “ PotlatchDeltic ,” “ Potlatch ,” “ the company ,” “ we ,” “ us ” and “ our ” means PotlatchDeltic Corporation and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

We are primarily engaged in activities associated with timberland management, including the sale of timber, the management of approximately 1.9 million acres of timberlands and the purchase and sale of timberlands. We are also engaged in the manufacture and sale of wood products and the development of real estate.

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. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2019. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Commitments and Contingencies

At any given time, we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may receive or have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The objective of the new standard is to establish principles for lessees and lessors to report information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The standard, along with subsequent amendments, was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach was required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application.

We adopted ASU 2016-02, along with subsequent amendments, on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided, for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition and for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the following practical expedients as part of our adoption of the standard:

to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases;

to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases;

to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify;

to not separate non-lease components from lease components; and

to apply the land easement practical expedient for transition of all existing land easements.

Upon adoption of this ASU we recorded $14.0 million for right of use assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet . The adoption of this ASU did not impact our Condensed Consolidated

8


Statement of Income and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . See Note 1 4 : Leases for our expanded disclosures.

New Accounting Standards Being Evaluated

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . ASU 2018-15 clarifies that implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements are deferred if they would be capitalized by customers in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. Additionally, ASU 2018-15 clarifies that all capitalized costs must be presented in the same financial statement line item as the cloud computing arrangement. The standard will be effective, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those years; early adoption is permitted. ASU 2018-14 will only impact our pension and other postretirement employee benefits disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements including requiring disclosures on changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years; early adoption is permitted. ASU 2018-13 will only impact our fair value measurement disclosures.

NOTE 3. MERGER WITH DELTIC

On February 20, 2018 Deltic Timber Corporation (Deltic) merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of PotlatchDeltic. Deltic owned approximately 530,000 acres of timberland, operated two sawmills, a medium density fiberboard facility (MDF) and was engaged in real estate development primarily in Arkansas.

The acquisition of total assets of $1.4 billion was a noncash investing and financing activity comprised of $1.1 billion in equity consideration transferred to Deltic shareholders and $0.3 billion of liabilities assumed.

We expensed $19.3 million of merger-related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 which consisted of:

$9.0 million of restructuring costs primarily for termination benefits, which included accelerated share-based payment costs, for qualifying terminations; and

$10.3 million of merger related costs for professional fees such as investment banker fees, legal, accounting and appraisal services.

These costs are included in Deltic merger-related costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income .

Total revenue and loss before income taxes from the acquired Deltic Operations included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from February 21, 2018 to March 31, 2018 was $28.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

The following presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the company as if the merger with Deltic was completed on January 1, 2017:

Pro forma data may not be indicative of the results that would have been

9


obtained had these events occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future res ults.

NOTE 4. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

On December 20, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Roseburg Forest Products Co. to sell the Deltic MDF facility for $92.0 million, consisting of $63.0 million in cash and assumption of $29.0 million of revenue bonds. The purchase price was subject to post-closing adjustments for certain changes in working capital as defined in the Agreement. The transaction closed on February 12, 2019 resulting in a $9.2 million pre-tax gain on sale. Cash proceeds received after working capital adjustments, closing costs and other expenses were approximately $60.0 million. A portion of the purchase price is escrowed pending satisfaction of certain covenants as outlined in the Agre ement. In addition, we had a carryover tax basis in the facility from the Deltic merger, and as a result, we recorded a reduction to deferred tax liabilities and increase to income taxes payable of $15.8 million at the date of sale.

At December 31, 2018, the assets and liabilities to be disposed met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and were reflected as such at their carrying value.  At December 31, 2018, assets held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of $80.7 million consists of $72.1 million property, plant and equipment, $7.7 million related to inventories and $0.9 million of customer list intangibles. The related liabilities held for sale of $29.3 million on the December 31, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $29.0 million of revenue bonds. The sale of the MDF facility is not considered a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore does not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.

The majority of our revenues are derived from the sale of delivered logs, manufactured wood products, residual wood by-products and real estate. We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Performance obligations associated with real estate sales are generally satisfied at a point in time when all conditions of closing have been met and title transfers to the buyer. Real estate closings are generally facilitated through an escrow process.

At March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue related to hunting lease rights and member related activities at the Chenal Country Club. These contract liabilities are being amortized over the term of the contracts, which is typically twelve months or less, except membership initiation fees at the Chenal Country Club which are amortized up to 10 years. Other contract asset and liability balances, such as prepayments, are immaterial. For real estate sales, we typically receive the entire consideration in cash at closing.

NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our businesses are organized into three reportable operating segments: Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate. Management activities in the Resource segment include planting and harvesting trees and building and maintaining roads. The Resource segment also generates revenues from non-timber resources such as hunting leases, recreation permits and leases, mineral rights contracts, oil and gas royalties, biomass production and carbon sequestration. The Wood Products segment manufactures and markets lumber and plywood. The business of our Real Estate segment includes the sale of land holdings deemed non-strategic or identified as having higher and better use alternatives. The Real Estate segment also engages in master planned communities, development activities and includes the Chenal Country Club.

11


The repor table segments follow the same accounting policies used for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , with the exception of the valuation of inventories. For most of our operations, we use the last-in, first-out ( LIFO ) method of valuing in ventory. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s best estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. I nventories not valued under LIFO are recorded at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. All segment inventories are reported using the average cost method . T he L IFO reserve and intersegment eliminations are recorded at the corporate level.

Management primarily evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based upon Adjusted EBITDDA. EBITDDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, 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 table summarizes information on revenues, intersegment eliminations, Adjusted EBITDDA, depreciation, depletion and amortization, basis of real estate sold, total assets and capital expenditures for each of the company’s reportable segments and includes a reconciliation of Total Adjusted EBITDDA to income before income taxes. Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

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 awards were exercised 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 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were approximately 90,000 and 64,000 stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock-based awards could be dilutive in future periods.

Share Issuances Related to the Deltic Merger

In February 2018 we issued 22.0 million shares in connection with the Deltic merger. Further, on August 30, 2018, the board of directors approved a special distribution of $222.0 million, or approximately $3.54 per share. The special distribution amount equaled our determination of the accumulated earnings and profits of Deltic as of the merger date and was distributed in order to maintain the company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The special distribution was paid on November 15, 2018, to stockholders of record on September 27, 2018 through the issuance of 4,814,673 shares of our common stock and distribution of $44.4 million in cash. See Note 3: Merger with Deltic for further discussion on the merger.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 30, 2018, our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to $100.0 million of common stock with no time limit set for the repurchase (the 2018 Repurchase Program). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 278,947 shares of common stock for $10.2 million, under the 2018 Repurchase Program. All common stock purchases under the 2018 Repurchase Programs were made in open-market transactions. At March 31, 2019, we had remaining authorization of $89.9 million for future stock repurchases under the 2018 Repurchase Program.

14


We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability to account for repurchases that have not been cash settled. There were no unsettled repurchases as of March 31, 2019. We retire shares upon repurchase. Any excess repurchase price over par is recorded in accumulated deficit.

NOTE 9. DEBT

In January 2019, we refinanced $150.0 million of 7.50% senior notes (Senior Notes) due in 2019 with a $150.0 million term loan that will mature in 2029. The new term loan carries a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.85%. We paid $0.5 million of lender fees on the new term loan. Concurrent with the new term loan, we entered into a $150.0 million interest rate swap to fix the rate at 4.56%. Upon the refinancing, we redeemed and paid all outstanding Senior Notes, including a redemption premium of $4.9 million which is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income . Subsequent to the refinancing, $693.5 million was outstanding under our Second Amended and Restated Amended Term Loan Agreement.

As part of the merger with Deltic, we assumed the obligations relating to the letter of credit supporting Deltic’s $29.0 million Union County, Arkansas Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds 1998 Series due October 1, 2027 associated with the

15


Deltic MDF facility. As of December 31, 2018, the bonds were classified as held for sale as part of the sale of the Deltic MDF facility and excluded from long-term debt. As p art of the sale of the MDF facility, the bonds were assumed by the buyer and the letter of credit was terminated. See Note 4: Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale .

As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants and approximately $1.0 million of our $380.0 million credit facility was utilized by outstanding letters of credit.

NOTE 10. 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 changes in the fair value of an asset or liability to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. 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.

As of March 31, 2019, we have five interest rate swaps associated with $357.5 million of term loan debt. The cash flow hedges convert variable rates ranging from three-month and one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% to 2.15%, to fixed rates ranging from 3.88% to 4.82%. 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 hedge. At March 31, 2019, the amount of net losses expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is approximately $1.1 million.

The carrying amount of long-term debt includes principal and unamortized discounts.

The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis 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.

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, 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 and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 12. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

At March 31, 2019, we had two shareholder approved stock incentive plans under which share based grants were outstanding. We were originally authorized to issue up to 1.6 million shares and 1.0 million shares under our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, respectively. At March 31, 2019, approximately 0.3 million shares were authorized for future use under those plans.

Share-based compensation activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 included the following:

Performance Share Awards

PSAs granted under the stock incentive plans have a three-year performance period and shares are issued at the end of the period if the performance measures are met. The performance measures are based on the percentile ranking of our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return performance of both a selected peer group of companies and a larger group of indexed companies over the three-year performance period. The number of shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the PSA, could range from 0% to 200%. PSAs granted under our stock incentive plans do not have voting rights unless and until shares are issued upon settlement. If shares are issued at the end of the three-year performance measurement period, the recipients will receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional shares at the time of payment equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the shares earned had the recipients owned the shares during the three-year period. Therefore, the shares are not considered participating securities. The fair value of performance shares granted in 2019 was $37.87 per share.

The following table presents the key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the performance share awards in 2019:

Restricted Stock Units

RSU awards accrue dividend equivalents based on dividends paid during the RSU vesting period. The dividend equivalents will be converted into additional RSUs that will vest in the same manner as the underlying RSUs to which they relate. Therefore, the shares are not considered participating securities. The terms of the awards state that the RSUs will vest in a given time period of one to three years and the terms of certain awards follow a vesting schedule within the given time period. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2019 was $35.01 which equaled our common share price on the date of grant.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income of the REIT that we distribute to our shareholders. We conduct certain activities through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These taxable activities are principally comprised of our wo od products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income tax expense or benefit is primarily due to income or loss of the TRS, as well as permanent book versus tax differences. In addition, we had carryover tax basis in the MDF facility from the Deltic merger and as a result, we recorded a reduction to deferred tax liabilities and increase to income taxes payable of $15.8 million at the date of sale. See Note 4: Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for further details.

18


NOT E 1 4 . LEASES

We lease certain equipment, office space and land. ROU 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. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We consider our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term between one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases at March 31, 2019 were insignificant.

For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased equipment. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants and we do not have any significant sublease income.

competitive pricing pressures for our products;

unanticipated manufacturing disruptions;

weather; and

transportation disruptions.

For a discussion of some of the factors that may affect our business, results and prospects and a nonexclusive listing of forward-looking statements, refer to Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information on page 1 and Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Forward-looking statements contained in this report present our views only as of the date of this report. Except as required under applicable law, we do not intend to issue updates concerning any future revisions of our views to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

Our Company

We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (REIT) with operations in seven states where we own approximately 1.9 million acres of timberland, six sawmills, an industrial grade plywood mill and real estate development projects.

Our business is organized into three business segments: Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate. Our Resource segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. These intersegment revenues are based on prevailing market prices and typically represent a significant portion of the Resource 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 costs and expenses are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues and costs and expenses. In the business segment discussions, each segment’s revenues and costs and expenses, as applicable, are presented before elimination of intersegment revenues and costs and expenses.

22


The operating results of our Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the forest products industry , tariffs, quotas and trade agreements , changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland for higher and better use purposes, lumber prices, weather conditions, the availability of transportation, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our Wood Products manufacturing operations, changes in our princ ipal expenses such as log costs, asset dispositions or acquisitions and other factors.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis, including 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. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a performance measure to allocate resources between segments, to evaluate performance about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. This measure should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Our definition of EBITDDA and Adjusted EBITDDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, 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. See Note 6: Segment Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the use of segment Adjusted EBITDDA and a reconciliation of such measures.

Business and Economic Trends

The demand for timber is directly affected by the underlying demand for lumber and other wood-products, as well as by the demand for pulp, paper and packaging. Our Resource and Wood Products segments are impacted by demand for new homes in the United States housing market and by repair and remodeling activity.

During the first quarter of 2019, new home demand softened partly as a result of inclement weather across the country impacting building conditions and delaying the normal start in the building season. Repair and remodeling activity remains strong as home prices have continued to escalate on the back of limited existing inventories.

Lumber prices have increased since year-end but remain below first half of 2018 levels. Many buyers are maintaining low inventories until demand levels increase.

For our Resource segment, we index a significant portion of our Idaho sawlogs to the price of lumber under long-term supply agreements. The Northern region experienced unfavorable sawlog pricing because of the lower lumber pricing and decreased demand as mills were continuing to work through existing log inventory. The Southern region has seen pine sawlog prices increase slightly since year-end due to constrained log supply as a result of wet weather. This price increase is expected to be temporary as weather improves providing better access for logging. Overall Southern log prices remain at relatively low levels as markets will continue to have ample log availability to meet growing demand.

Our Real Estate segment benefited during the first quarter of 2019 from rural real estate sales primarily in Minnesota. Residential and commercial sales in Chenal Valley mainly follow the national housing market trends but do experience microeconomic factors for the area including economic growth and the availability of builders, contractors and workforce to support development efforts.

First Quarter 2019 Compared with First Quarter 2018

Revenues

Revenues were $181.7 million, a decrease of $18.2 million compared with the same period in 2018. Revenues decreased as a result of lower sawlog prices and volumes in the Northern region, lower lumber prices and fewer rural real estate sales. These decreases were partially offset by increased harvest volumes in the South as well as increased Southern sawlog and pulpwood prices.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased $15.1 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to the acquired Deltic operations adding two new sawmills and additional harvest activities in the South.  The addition of the Deltic activity primarily resulted in increases in raw material purchases, depreciation and depletion, energy costs and employee wages and benefits compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $16.6 million compared with $13.7 million during the same period in 2018 primarily due to three months activities of the acquired Deltic operations, and increased employee benefits and variable compensation.

Deltic merger-related costs

We had no merger-related costs during the first quarter of 2019. During the first quarter of 2018 we expensed $19.3 million of merger-related costs consisting of:

$9.0 million of restructuring costs primarily for termination benefits, which included accelerated share-based payment costs, for qualifying terminations; and

$10.3 million of merger related costs for professional fees such as investment banking fees, legal, accounting and appraisal services.

24


Gain on sale of facility

On December 20, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Roseburg Forest Products Co. to sell the Deltic MDF facility for $92.0 million. The transaction closed on February 12, 2019 resulting in a $9.2 million pre-tax gain on sale. See Note 4: Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $5.5 million, compared with $5.7 million for the same period in 2018. The decline in interest expense is primarily due to $0.9 million of increased patronage dividends from our lenders and refinancing $150.0 million of 7.5% Senior Notes with a new long-term loan and interest rate swap to fix the rate at 4.56%. These decreases were offset by three months of interest associated with the term loans acquired in the Deltic merger in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 9: Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of our borrowings.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

As part of the $150.0 million Senior Notes redemption in January 2019 we incurred a redemption premium of $4.9 million and wrote off certain unamortized debt costs. See Note 9: Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter 2019 was $1.6 million compared with $5.7 million for the prior year period. Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the TRS’s income before income tax was $7.2 million, which includes the gain on sale of the Deltic MDF facility. For the same period last year, the TRS’s income before income tax was $22.9 million. See Note 13: Income Taxes in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

Total Adjusted EBITDDA

Total Adjusted EBITDDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $28.3 million compared to $64.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDDA was driven primarily by decreased lumber pricing year over year, including lower realizations on indexed Idaho sawlogs, and fewer real estate transactions. These decreases were partially offset by increased harvest activity and realization on sawlogs in the South. Refer to the Business Segments Results below for further discussions on activities for each of our segments.

First Quarter 2019 Compared with First Quarter 2018

Resource Adjusted EBITDDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $26.9 million, a decrease of $10.8 million compared with the same period in 2018. The change in Resource Adjusted EBITDDA is primarily the result of the following:

Sales Price and Mix: Sawlog prices in the North declined 20.9%, to $87 per ton resulting from the effect of lower lumber prices on indexed sawlogs. This was partially offset by sawlog prices in the South increasing 12.5% to $45, primarily due to constrained log supply as a result of wet weather.

26


Production Volume: We harvested 828.4 t housand tons in the South , which was up 2 4.4 % compared to the first quarter of 2018 , primarily due to the addition of a full quarter of Deltic harvest activities. This was partially offset by lower tons in the North due primarily to full log yards in the region .

Other Revenue: Other revenue increased primarily due to the Deltic merger which added more acres generating hunting lease income and natural gas and oil revenue.

Logging and Hauling Cost per Unit: Log and haul costs in the South are approximately half of the costs in the North on a per-ton basis. The shift to a higher proportion of Southern harvest in the first quarter of 2019 versus the first quarter 2018 resulted in a positive price variance.

Forest Management and Other: Forest management, indirect and overhead costs unfavorably impacted Resource Adjusted EBITDDA compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a full quarter of Deltic operations.

First Quarter 2019 Compared with First Quarter 2018

Wood Products Adjusted EBITDDA for first quarter 2019 was $7.2 million, a decrease of $21.7 million compared with the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the following:

Lumber Price: Average lumber sales prices decreased to $380 per MBF compared with $465 per MBF during the same period in 2018.

Manufacturing Costs Per Unit: Cold temperatures in the North hindered manufacturing and wet weather in the South reduced log availability. These constraints led to higher manufacturing costs per unit during the first quarter 2019 compared to 2018.

Lumber Volume: Lumber shipments increased 34.3 million board feet to 238.4 million board feet in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 204.1 million board feet in the first quarter of 2018. This increase was due to a full quarter of operations at the Deltic mills.

Residual Sales, Panels and Other: Increased residual sales due to the addition of the Deltic mills was more than offset by lower EBITDDA generated by the panel operations.

First Quarter 2019 Compared with First Quarter 2018

Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $5.3 million compared with the same period in 2018. The decrease in Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA is primarily the result of the following:

Rural Real Estate Sales: Rural real estate sales can vary quarter-to-quarter and generally are lower seasonally in the winter months. First quarter 2018 included a 1,600-acre recreation sale that was not present in 2019.

Development Real Estate Sales: Lower real estate development sales unfavorably impacted Real Estate Adjusted EBITDDA compared to the first quarter of 2018. Real estate development sales in Chenal Valley were hampered in the first quarter of 2019 due to unseasonably wet weather in Arkansas impacting both our customers’ ability to complete existing projects so they could begin new construction projects and delaying our planned development work during the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $104.8 million, an increase of $28.1 million from December 31, 2018. Changes in significant sources of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2019 are presented by categories as follows:

Net Cash from Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.1 million for the first three months of 2019, compared with $34.9 million for the first three months of 2018. This $15.8 million decrease was primarily attributable to decreased cash receipts from customers of $38.5 million, partially offset by $14.2 million in vendor payments incurred for merger-related costs during the first three months of 2018. See Business Segment Results for additional information.

In addition to decreases in customer receipts and vendor payments in 2019 compared to 2018, cash provided by operating activities in 2019 was affected by:

Cash contributions of $1.7 million to our pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans compared to $9.2 million during the first three months of 2018.

Cash interest payments of $8.0 million in 2019, compared to $5.0 million in 2018 over the same period.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $52.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $2.8 million used in 2018.

30


W e spent $8.0 million for timberland and timberlands and property , plant and equipment capital expenditure s in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $6.5 million during th e first quarter of 2018.

We received $60.0 million of net cash proceeds from the Deltic MDF facility sale in February 2019. See Note 4: Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

We acquired $3.4 million of cash from the merger with Deltic during the first quarter of 2018.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $42.3 million and $50.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In January 2019, we refinanced $150.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2019 with a $150.0 million term loan that will mature in 2029. Concurrent with the borrowing, we entered into an interest rate swap associated with the new term loan to fix the rate at 4.56%. Upon the refinancing, we redeemed and paid all outstanding Senior Notes, including a redemption premium of $4.9 million.

During the quarter ending March 2018, we repaid $20.3 million of net debt and paid $2.4 million in loan fees.

Cash distributions to stockholders were $27.1 million, compared with $25.1 million in the first three months of 2018. Our quarterly dividend increased approximately $1.9 million due to the issuance of approximately 4.8 million additional shares in November of 2018 related to the special distribution of Deltic’s accumulated earnings and profits as of the merger date. See Note 6: Earnings Per Share in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

During the first quarter of 2019 we repurchased 278,947 shares of our common stock totaling $10.2 million.

Future Cash Requirements

We expect to fund our 2019 dividends with cash generated by our operations. There are limits on our ability to utilize cash dividends from PotlatchDeltic TRS to our REIT to fund our dividend. In particular, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year as a REIT must be derived from sales of our standing timber and other types of real estate income. No more than 25% of our gross income may consist of dividends from PotlatchDeltic TRS and other non-qualifying types of income. This requirement may limit our ability to fund dividends to stockholders using cash flows from PotlatchDeltic TRS. We expect our quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share to remain unchanged during 2019.

We invest cash in maintenance and discretionary capital expenditures for our facilities in our Wood Products operations. We evaluate discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of return on investment. We also invest cash in the reforestation of timberlands and construction of roads in our Resource operations and to develop land in our Real Estate development operations. In total, we expect we will spend approximately $65 to $70 million in Woods Products, Resource and Real Estate segments in 2019.

On August 30, 2018, the board of directors authorized the repurchase up to $100.0 million of common stock with no time limit set for the repurchase. During the first quarter of 2019 we repurchased 278,947 shares of our common stock totaling $10.2 million. At March 31, 2019, we had remaining authorization of $89.9 million for future stock repurchase under the 2018 repurchase program. Stock repurchases in the future will depend on a variety of factors including our cash position, debt covenant restrictions and our stock price.

Liquidity and Performance Measures

The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures: Adjusted EBITDDA and Cash Available for Distribution (CAD). These measures are not defined by GAAP and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described herein.

Adjusted EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a performance measure to allocate resources between segments, to evaluate performance about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. This measure should not be considered in isolation from and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provides useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Our definition of EBITDDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define EBITDDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, 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 for the consolidated company as it is the most comparable GAAP measures. See Note 6: Segment Information to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for the reconciliation for our segments.

We define CAD as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment, timberlands reforestation and roads and acquisition of timber and timberlands. 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.

Sources of Financing

Credit and Term Loan Agreements

In January 2019, we refinanced $150.0 million of 7.50% Senior Notes due in 2019 with a $150.0 million term loan that will mature in 2029. The new term loan carries a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.85%. Concurrent with the new term loan, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the rate at 4.56%. Upon the refinancing, we redeemed and paid all outstanding Senior Notes, including a redemption premium of $4.9 million, and paid $0.5 million of lender fees on the new term loan. Subsequent to the refinancing, $693.5 million was outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Agreement.

As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt and credit agreement covenants, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit and approximately $1.0 million of the $380.0 million credit facility was utilized by outstanding letters of credit.

Contractual Obligations

Other than the $150.0 million refinance of the 7.50% Senior Notes described in Note 9: Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the associated $150.0 million interest rate swap associated with our refinance of the Senior Notes, which are incorporated herein by reference, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2019 outside the ordinary course of business.

Credit Ratings

Two major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt and our cost of borrowing can increase or decrease depending on our credit rating. During 2018, both Moody’s and Standard and Poor upgraded our debt rating to investment-grade. There have been no changes in our credit rating during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently are not a party to off-balance sheet arrangements that would require disclosure under this section.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes during first quarter 2019 to our critical accounting policies presented in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Other than the $150.0 million refinance of the Senior Notes described in Note 9: Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the $150.0 million interest rate swap associated with our refinance of the Senior Notes, which are incorporated herein by reference, our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2018. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quantitative Information about Market Risks

The table below provides information about our outstanding long-term debt, weighted-average interest rates and interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2019. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted-average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve.

ITEM 4. CONT ROLS 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) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2019. 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 March 31, 2019.

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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
