"We are pleased with the strong operational performance across all business segments during the third quarter,” said Eric Cremers, President and Chief Executive Officer of PotlatchDeltic. “Our Real Estate segment captured opportunities to maximize timberland values, including two significant rural land sales in Georgia. In addition, our Wood Products segment delivered disciplined cost management, reinforcing operational resilience and positioning the division to capitalize when market conditions improve. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our operational and financial priorities, and on completing the pending merger with Rayonier - a transformative transaction expected to close in late first quarter or early second quarter 2026. This merger will create a premier land resources company with a strong pro forma balance sheet, well-positioned for growth and delivering long-term shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements, provide useful information to investors and other interested parties as described below. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, 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 measures presented by other companies due to potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share are non-GAAP measures that represent GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share before certain items, net of tax, that management believes impact the ability to compare the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses.

Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Total Adjusted EBITDDA Margin are non-GAAP measures that remove the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis and can be used to evaluate the operational performance of assets under management.

We define Total Adjusted EBITDDA Margin as Total Adjusted EBITDDA divided by Revenues.

Reconciliations of Total Adjusted EBITDDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share to their most comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliations at the end of this release.
