Aug 02, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Weyerhaeuser Company reported net earnings of $14 million for the 2Q, or 7 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion. Revenue increased nearly 30%. This compares with a net loss of $106 million, or 50 cents per share, on net sales from continuing operations of $1.4 billion for the same period last year, the company said in a statement received by Lesprom Network.
The timberlands segment’s earnings declined in the 2Q compared to the 1Q, as lower earnings from disposition of non-strategic timberlands were partially offset by increased earnings from operations. 2Q included pre-tax gains of $14 million from disposition of non-strategic timberlands, compared to $31 million in the 1Q. Losses related to international operations were $4 million in the 2Q, unchanged from 1Q levels. Weyerhaeuser continues to defer timber harvest.
Excluding the disposition of non-strategic timberlands, Weyerhaeuser expects 3Q operating earnings from the segment to be lower than 2Q. The company expects lower log prices and seasonally higher silviculture costs.
