NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC (the “2015 Form 10-K”).

Reclassifications

Certain 2015 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including changes in balance sheet presentation. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified capitalized debt costs related to non-revolving debt from Other Assets to Long Term Debt as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-50) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. This reclassification is reflected in the March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets. A corresponding change has also been made to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for both periods presented.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 , and interim periods within those annual periods. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 in the Company’s first quarter 2017 Form 10-Q. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU No. 2016-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-05 in the Company’s first quarter 2017 Form 10-Q filing, which the Company does not expect will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The ASU also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2016-02 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. The guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized and will require enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 provides a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new standard, with an option for organizations to adopt early based on the original effective date. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The new standard clarifies the guidance for identifying performance obligations. This standard will be effective for Rayonier beginning January 1, 2018 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and has completed a preliminary analysis of the specific impacts to our New Zealand Timber segment.

Subsequent Events

Menasha Acquisition

On April 29, 2016, the Company, jointly with Forest Investment Associates (“FIA”) on behalf of funds it manages, completed an acquisition of all the outstanding common stock of Menasha Forest Products Corporation (“Menasha”), a privately held company with approximately 132,000 acres of timberland located in Oregon and Washington (the “Menasha Acquisition”). In a subsequent transaction that is expected to close in the second quarter, the Menasha timberland will be distributed to various entities, ultimately resulting in Rayonier owning an identified portfolio of 61,000 acres of the Menasha timberland for a final purchase price of approximately $263 million. As of the filing date of this report the Company has not completed its initial accounting related to this acquisition. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by ASC 805 Business Combinations will be included upon the Company’s completion of such assessment in the second quarter and will be included in its respective Form 10-Q Report.

Disposition of 55,000 acres of Pacific Northwest timberland

On April 28, 2016, the Company completed its disposition of approximately 55,000 acres located in Washington to FIA (the “Washington disposition”) for a sales price of approximately $130 million. The proceeds received from the disposition were used to finance the Company’s portion of the Menasha Acquisition.

Incremental Term Loan

On April 28, 2016, the Company entered into an Incremental Term Loan Agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions to provide a 10-year, $300 million incremental term loan. Proceeds from the new term loan were used to fund Rayonier’s portion of the Menasha transaction net of the proceeds received from the Washington disposition (approximately $130 million), to repay approximately $105 million outstanding on the company’s revolving credit facility and will also be used for general corporate purposes.


2.	JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

Matariki Forestry Group

On March 3, 2016 (the "contribution date"), the Company made a capital contribution into Matariki Forestry Group (the "New Zealand JV"), a joint venture that owns or leases approximately 0.4 million legal acres of New Zealand timberlands, for the purpose of refinancing approximately NZ$235 million of New Zealand JV indebtedness and paying related fees and expenses, including the costs of settling out-of-the-money interest rate swaps. As a result of the capital contribution, the Company's ownership interest in the New Zealand JV increased from 65% to 77%. As a result of the increase in ownership percentage, the pro-rata share of the New Zealand JV’s unrealized foreign currency and cash flow hedge losses were reallocated between the Company and the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-24, this reallocation resulted in a reduction to the common share balance. The Company maintains a controlling financial interest in the New Zealand JV and accordingly, consolidates the New Zealand JV’s Balance Sheet and results of operations. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand JV’s 23% noncontrolling interest are shown separately within the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the New Zealand JV.

3.	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the company does not produce asset information by segment internally.

Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “Corporate and other.”

Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

On August 5, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions and other commercial banks to provide $550 million of new credit facilities, including a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (see below) and a nine-year $350 million term loan facility. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. The periodic interest rate on the term credit agreement is LIBOR plus 1.625%. The Company receives annual patronage refunds, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. The Company estimates the effective interest rate for the first quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of the estimated patronage refunds and interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2016, the term debt was advanced in full under the term credit agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility

In August 2015, the Company entered into a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing the previous $200 million revolving credit facility and $100 million farm credit facility, which were scheduled to expire in April 2016 and December 2019, respectively. The periodic interest rate on the revolving credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.250%, with an unused commitment fee of 0.175%.

Net draws of $8.0 million were made in the first quarter of 2016 on the revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2016, the Company had available borrowings of $93.3 million under the revolving credit facility, net of $1.7 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit.

Joint Venture Debt

On March 3, 2016, the Company used proceeds from the term loan facility to fund a capital contribution into the New Zealand JV. The New Zealand JV in turn used the proceeds for full repayment of the outstanding amount of $155 million under its Tranche A credit facility.

The New Zealand JV also has a $27.6 million working capital facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the New Zealand JV made $12.2 million of additional borrowings, net of repayments, on the facility. Draws totaling $15.4 million remain available on the working capital facility. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $0.3 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party. Unfavorable changes in exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased debt on a U.S. dollar basis for its shareholder loan by $0.2 million.

Debt Covenants

In connection with the Company’s $350 million term credit agreement and $200 million revolving credit facility, customary covenants must be met, the most significant of which include interest coverage and leverage ratios. In addition to these financial covenants, the mortgage note, term credit agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others. At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

5.	HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS

Rayonier continuously assesses potential alternative uses of its timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. The Company periodically transfers, via a sale or contribution from the REIT to TRS, HBU timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. The Company also acquires HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, the Company also selectively pursues various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, Rayonier also invests in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties.

(a)	The current portion of Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments is recorded in Inventory. See Note 15 — Inventory for additional information.


6.	COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain buildings, machinery, and equipment under various operating leases. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments.

At March 31, 2016, the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating and timberland leases were as follows:



	Operating Leases		Timberland Leases (a)		Purchase Obligations (b)		Total
Remaining 2016		$1,449		$7,262		$3,512		$12,223
2017	1,473		10,772		3,358		15,603
2018	763		9,275		3,163		13,201

2020	534		8,348		3,163		12,045
Thereafter (c)	1,613		158,766		10,724		171,103
		$6,452		$203,212		$27,083		$236,747


(a)	The majority of timberland leases are subject to increases or decreases based on either the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index or market rates.


(b)	Purchase obligations include payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps) and standby letters of credit fees for industrial revenue bonds.

(c)

Includes 20 years of future minimum payments for perpetual Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”). A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of March 31, 2016, the New Zealand JV has four CFL’s under termination notice, terminating in 2034, two in 2044 and 2049 as well as two fixed term CFL’s expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market rental value, with triennial rent reviews.

7.	INCOME TAXES

The operations conducted by the Company’s real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities are generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The New Zealand JV is subject to corporate level tax in New Zealand. Non-REIT qualifying operations are conducted by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). The primary businesses performed in Rayonier’s taxable REIT subsidiaries include log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the sale and entitlement of development HBU properties.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35.0% U.S. statutory rate due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The income tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are principally related to the New Zealand JV.

The table below reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for each period presented:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016					2015
Income tax expense at federal statutory rate		($4,997	)	35.0	%		($6,198	)	35.0	%

8.	CONTINGENCIES

Following the Company’s November 10, 2014 earnings release and filing of the restated interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 (the “November 2014 Announcement”), shareholders of the Company filed five putative class actions against the Company and Paul G. Boynton, Hans E. Vanden Noort, David L. Nunes, and H. Edwin Kiker arising from circumstances described in the November 2014 Announcement, entitled respectively:


•	Sating v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01395; filed November 12, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;


•	Keasler v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01398, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;


•	Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01403, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;


•	Christie v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01429, filed November 21, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and


•	Brown v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-08986, initially filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and later transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and assigned as Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01474.

On January 9, 2015, the five securities actions were consolidated into one putative class action entitled In re Rayonier Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 3:14-cv-01395-TJC-JBT, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. Two shareholders, the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers and the Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund moved for appointment as lead plaintiff on January 12, 2015, which was granted on February 25, 2015. On April 7, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). In the Consolidated Complaint, plaintiffs added allegations as to and added as a defendant N. Lynn Wilson, a former officer of Rayonier. With the filing of the Consolidated Complaint, David L. Nunes and H. Edwin Kiker were dropped from the case as defendants. Defendants timely filed Motions to Dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on May 15, 2015. After oral argument on Defendants' motions on August 25, 2015, the Court dismissed the Consolidated Complaint without prejudice, allowing plaintiffs leave to refile. Plaintiffs filed the Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on September 25, 2015, which continued to assert claims against the Company, as well as Ms. Wilson and Messrs. Boynton and Vanden Noort. Defendants timely filed Motions to Dismiss the Amended Complaint on October 26, 2015, which are pending. At this preliminary stage, the Company cannot determine whether there is a reasonable likelihood a material loss has been incurred nor can the range of any such loss be estimated.

On November 26, 2014, December 29, 2014, January 26, 2015, February 13, 2015, and May 12, 2015, the Company received separate letters from shareholders requesting that the Company investigate or pursue derivative claims against certain officers and directors related to the November 2014 Announcement. Although these demands do not identify any claims against the Company, the Company has certain obligations to advance expenses and provide indemnification to certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The Company has also incurred expenses as a result of costs arising from the investigation of the claims alleged in the various demands. At this preliminary stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted, nor can the range of potential expenses the Company may incur as a result of the obligations identified above be estimated.

In November 2014, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents related to the Company’s amended reports filed with the SEC on November 10, 2014. The Company cooperated with the SEC and complied with its requests. The Company does not currently believe that the investigation will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, but cannot predict the timing or outcome of the SEC investigation.

The Company has also been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These pending lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2016 and will be renewed as required.

(b)

In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At March 31, 2016, the Company has a de minimis liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.


(c)	Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2016 and 2017 and are expected to be renewed as required.

Assumed conversion of exchangeable note hedges (a)	—	892,885
Total	1,095,453	1,650,845

(a) Rayonier did not issue additional shares upon maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due August 2015 (the “2015

Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. ASC 260, Earnings Per Share required the assumed conversion of the 2015 Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeded the strike price, while the conversion of the hedges was excluded since they were anti-dilutive. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the prior period presented.

Rayonier did not distribute additional shares upon the February 2016 maturity of the warrants sold in conjunction with the 2015 Notes as the stock price did not exceed $28.11 per share. The warrants were not dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 as the average stock price for the periods the warrants were outstanding did not exceed the strike price.


11.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks.

Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the Company’s investment in its New Zealand operations is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s hedge ineffectiveness was de minimis for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Exchange and Option Contracts

The functional currency of Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited, and the New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand JV is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The New Zealand JV typically hedges 50% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases, 50% to 75% of forecasted sales and purchases for the forward three to 12 months and up to 50% of the forward 12 to 18 months. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand JV’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of March 31, 2016, foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through June 2017 and July 2017, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive income for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

In August 2015, the Company entered into foreign currency option contracts (notional amount of $332 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when translating the New Zealand JV’s balance sheet to U.S. dollars. These contracts hedged a portion of the Company’s net investment in New Zealand and qualified as a net investment hedge. The fair value of these contracts was determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The hedges qualified for hedge accounting whereby fluctuations in fair market value during the life of the hedge are recorded in AOCI and remain there permanently unless a partial or full liquidation of the investment is made. At each reporting period, the Company reviews the hedges for ineffectiveness. Ineffectiveness can occur when changes to the investment or the hedged instrument are made such that the risk of foreign exchange movements are no longer mitigated by the hedging instrument. At that time, the amount related to the ineffectiveness of the hedge is recorded into earnings. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness during the life of the hedges. The foreign currency option contracts matured on February 3, 2016.

On February 1, 2016, the Company entered into foreign currency option contracts (notional amounts of $159.7 million and $154.6 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when funding the planned capital contribution to the New Zealand JV. On February 29, 2016, the contracts were settled for a net premium of $0.3 million. The gain on these contracts was recorded in “Other operating income, net” as they did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

On February 29, 2016, the Company purchased a foreign exchange forward contract (notional amount $159.5 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rate contracts when funding the planned capital contribution to the New Zealand JV. The contract matured on March 3, 2016, resulting in a gain of $0.9 million. The gain on this contract was recorded in “Other operating income, net” as it did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company used interest rate swaps to manage the New Zealand JV’s exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt attributable to changes in the New Zealand Bank bill rate. On March 3, 2016, as part of the capital contribution into the New Zealand JV, the Company settled all remaining New Zealand JV interest rate swaps for $9.3 million. Initially, these hedges qualified for hedge accounting; however, upon consolidation of the New Zealand JV in 2013, the hedges no longer qualified, requiring all future changes in the fair market value of the hedges to be recorded in earnings.

The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on its variable-rate Term Credit Agreement (as discussed below), and uses variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, the Company reports the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassifies them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings.

In August 2015, the Company entered into a nine-year interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $170 million. This agreement fixes the LIBOR-related portion of the interest rate (LIBOR plus 1.625%) to an average rate of 2.20%. This derivative instrument has been designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.

Also, in August 2015, the Company entered into a nine-year forward interest rate swap agreement with a start date in April 2016 for a notional amount of $180 million. This agreement fixes the LIBOR-related portion of the interest rate (LIBOR plus 1.625%) to an average rate of 2.35%. This derivative instrument has been designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.

12.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:



	March 31, 2016							December 31, 2015
Asset (Liability) (a)	Carrying Amount			Fair Value				Carrying Amount			Fair Value
				Level 1		Level 2					Level 1		Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents		$76,204			$76,204	—			$51,777			$51,777	—

Long-term debt (c)	(857,429		)	—		(875,329	)	(830,554		)	—		(830,203	)

Foreign currency option contracts (d)	191			—		191		3,964			—		3,964


(a)	The Company did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2016.


(b)	Restricted cash is recorded in “Other Assets” and represents the proceeds from LKE sales deposited with a third-party intermediary.


(c)	The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of capitalized debt costs on non-revolving debt. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information.


(d)	See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Balance Sheet classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value.

Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.

Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

13.	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Currently, the pension plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. In 2016, the Company has no mandatory pension contribution requirement.

The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recorded are shown in the following table:

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $12.9 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in “Other Assets,” which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Rayonier,” we mean Rayonier Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Rayonier Inc. included in Item 1 of this Report.

This MD&A is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors which may affect future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”) and information contained in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including Rayonier’s earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook, expected dividend rate, expected harvest schedules, timberland acquisitions, sales of non-strategic timberlands, the anticipated benefits of Rayonier’s business strategy, capital allocation, expected availability and access to borrowings, and other similar statements relating to Rayonier’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, 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,” “intend,” “project,” “anticipate” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in the 2015 Form 10-K and similar discussions included in other reports that we subsequently file with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and those expressed in forward-looking statements made in this document.

Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any subsequent disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

Our Company

We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with assets located in some of the most productive timber growing regions in the U.S. and New Zealand. Our revenues, operating income and cash flows are primarily derived from the following core business segments: Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber, Real Estate and Trading. As of March 31, 2016, we owned or leased under long-term agreements approximately 2.3 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. South (1.9 million acres) and U.S. Pacific Northwest (373,000 acres). We also have a 77% ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”), that owns or leases approximately 435,000 acres (299,000 net plantable acres) of timberlands in New Zealand.

The Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber segments include all activities related to the harvesting of timber and other non-timber income activities, such as the leasing of properties for hunting, mineral extraction and cell towers. The New Zealand Timber segment also reflects any land or leasehold sales that occur within our New Zealand portfolio.

The Real Estate segment includes all U.S. land sales disaggregated into five sales categories: Improved Development, Unimproved Development, Rural, Non-Strategic / Timberlands and Large Dispositions.

The Trading segment reflects the log trading activities that support our New Zealand operations.

Industry and Market Conditions

The demand for timber is directly related to the underlying demand for pulp, paper, lumber and other wood products. The significant majority of timber sold in our Southern Timber segment is consumed domestically. With a higher proportion of pulpwood, our Southern Timber segment relies heavily on downstream markets for pulp and paper, and to a lesser extent wood pellet markets. Our Pacific Northwest segment relies primarily on domestic customers but also exports a significant volume of timber, particularly to China. Both the Southern and Pacific Northwest Timber segments rely on the strength of U.S. lumber markets as well as underlying housing starts. Our New Zealand Timber segment sells timber to domestic New Zealand wood products mills and also exports a significant portion of its volume to markets in China, Korea and India. In addition to market dynamics in the Pacific Rim, the New Zealand Timber segment is subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which can impact the competitiveness of its products.

In our Southern Timber segment, first quarter 2016 average pine pulpwood prices increased 4% versus 2015 average prices primarily due to improved markets, specifically along the east coast and in Alabama, while sawtimber prices decreased 3% due to a higher mix of chip-n-saw versus sawtimber and decreased harvesting of sawtimber for the plywood market in the Southwest. In the Pacific Northwest, average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 6% versus 2015 average prices primarily due to continued weak export demand while average delivered pulpwood prices were comparable to the prior year. In New Zealand, first quarter 2016 average export sawtimber pricing increased 6% versus 2015 average prices primarily due to stronger demand for radiata pine. Domestic sawtimber pricing increased 4% due to stronger demand, while domestic pulpwood pricing decreased 8% on a US$ basis due to a fall in the NZ$/ US$ exchange rate over the same comparable periods.

The Company is also subject to risk in price fluctuations in its major cost components. The primary components of the Company's cost of sales are the cost basis of timber sold (depletion), the cost basis of real estate sold and logging and transportation costs (cut and haul). Depletion includes the amortization of capitalized costs (site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, lease payments, road and bridge construction, software and certain payroll costs). Other costs include depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes, fire prevention and real estate commissions and closing costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2015 Form 10-K.

Southern Timber

First quarter sales of $44.7 million increased $9.2 million, or 26%, versus the prior year period due to higher harvest volumes, partially offset by a decrease in average sawtimber prices. Harvest volumes increased 28% to 1.8 million tons versus 1.4 million tons in the prior year period. This significant increase in harvest volumes was driven by the acceleration of stumpage sale activity due to extreme wet weather conditions in certain markets. Average sawtimber stumpage prices decreased 7% to $26.90 per ton versus $28.84 per ton in the prior year period, while average pulpwood stumpage prices were roughly flat at $18.90 per ton versus $18.83 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by mix, specifically a significant reduction in volume from one of the Company’s higher-priced sawtimber regions. Average pulpwood prices continued to be well above south-wide benchmarks due to strong pricing in our core markets, particularly along the east coast. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) decreased 3% to $21.11 per ton versus $21.69 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $15.8 million increased $3.4 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes ($4.4 million) and lower depletion rates ($1.7 million), which were partially offset by higher leased land reforestation expenses ($1.6 million) and lower pricing ($1.1 million). First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $32.4 million was $5.7 million above the prior year period.

Pacific Northwest Timber

First quarter sales of $19.3 million increased $0.1 million, or 1%, versus the prior year period due to an increased proportion of delivered sales (87% versus 79% in the prior year period) and higher pulpwood prices, partially offset by lower sawtimber prices. Harvest volumes increased 2% to 331,000 tons versus 325,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 6% to $67.95 per ton versus $72.03 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 4% to $44.84 per ton versus $43.19 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by continued weak demand in export markets and reduced local sawmill capacity, while the increase in average pulpwood prices was driven by strong local demand for pulpwood logs. Operating income of $1.4 million decreased $1.2 million versus the prior year period due to lower prices ($0.8 million), higher depletion rates ($0.8 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.1 million), which were partially offset by lower road maintenance costs ($0.3 million) and higher volumes ($0.2 million). First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 million was $0.4 million below the prior year period.

New Zealand Timber

First quarter sales of $36.0 million decreased $5.2 million, or 13%, versus the prior year period due to lower domestic and export product prices and lower volumes. Harvest volumes declined 10% to 485,000 tons versus 538,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber declined 8% to $94.34 per ton versus $102.60 per ton in the prior year period, and average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber declined 6% to $66.64 per ton versus $70.77 per ton in the prior year period. The decline in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to weaker demand from China, while the decline in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.66 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.76 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 8% from the prior year period. Operating income of $4.7 million decreased $1.0 million versus the prior year period due to lower land sales ($1.4 million), lower volumes ($0.3 million) and lower prices ($0.1 million), which were partially offset by changes in foreign exchange impacts ($0.8 million). First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million was $2.3 million below the prior year period.

Real Estate

First quarter sales of $13.4 million decreased $10.4 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $4.2 million decreased $8.4 million versus the prior year period. Sales and operating income decreased in the first quarter due to lower weighted average prices ($1,743 per acre versus $3,216 per acre in the prior year period), partially offset by higher volumes (7,669 acres sold versus 7,397 acres sold in the prior year period). Improved Development first quarter sales of $1.7 million were comprised of a 47-acre sale at Belfast Commerce Park near Savannah, Georgia for approximately $37,400 per acre. Unimproved Development first quarter sales of $0.9 million were comprised of a 48-acre sale in St. John’s County, Florida for approximately $18,000 per acre. Rural first quarter sales of $3.7 million were comprised of 1,444 acres at an average price of $2,548 per acre. Non-strategic/Timberland first quarter sales of $7.1 million were comprised of 6,130 acres at an average price of $1,155 per acre, including a 5,200-acre sale of scattered, non-strategic properties with relatively low productivity (only 39% plantable). First quarter Adjusted EBITDAof $9.7 million was $10.4 million below the prior year period.

Trading

The Trading segment complements the New Zealand Timber segment by adding scale and achieving cost savings that directly benefit the New Zealand Timber segment. Trading also generally contributes modestly to earnings without significant investment and provides market intelligence that benefits the timber business.

First quarter sales of $21.4 million increased $0.8 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes. Sales volumes increased 7% to 228,000 tons versus 214,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices increased 1% to $94.09 per ton versus $93.42 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $0.4 million was comparable to the prior year period.

Other Items

Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations

First quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $3.5 million, decreased $2.4 million versus the prior year period primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses. First quarter 2016 expenses also include $0.4 million of costs related to shareholder litigation and a $1.2 million of gain on foreign currency derivatives used in connection with the recapitalization of the New Zealand JV. Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 8—Contingencies.

Interest Expense

First quarter interest expense of $7.1 million decreased $1.4 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower rates on the term credit agreement entered into in the third quarter of 2015.

Other Non-Operating Expense

First quarter other non-operating expenses of $1.6 million were comprised of unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on the New Zealand JV interest rate swaps, which were settled in March in connection with the recapitalization of the New Zealand JV.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

First quarter income tax benefit of $0.8 million was principally related to the New Zealand JV.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $0.7 million of common stock at an average price of $19.59 per share. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 122.7 million shares of common stock outstanding and $99.3 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

Based on our strong start to the year and the incremental contribution we anticipate from our Pacific Northwest portfolio repositioning described in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation, we are raising our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $195 to $215 million. In our Southern Timber segment, despite higher-than-anticipated Q1 volumes due to accelerated removals by stumpage customers, we still expect full-year harvest volumes to be in line with our prior guidance of 5.8 to 6.0 million tons. We anticipate continued strong pulpwood demand and prices in our key market areas, and while we do not anticipate any significant price improvement in sawtimber prices this year, we still expect that the ongoing recovery in U.S. housing demand will drive price increases longer term. In our Pacific Northwest segment, we expect full-year harvest volumes will increase modestly to roughly 1.3 million tons as we ramp up production on our newly-acquired Menasha properties. Based on lower inventory levels in China relative to last year, we also anticipate some modest price improvement in the Pacific Northwest over the course of the year. We expect our New Zealand Timber segment will continue to benefit from stronger relative demand in China for its Radiata pine logs, stable domestic demand and favorable shipping costs due to low oil prices and ample shipping capacity. Also, on March 3, 2016, the Company completed the previously-announced recapitalization of our New Zealand joint venture, thereby reducing consolidated annual interest expense by approximately $5 million while increasing our ownership interest from 65% to 77%.

In our Real Estate segment, we are pleased with our progress in establishing growth catalysts for key development projects and the level of customer interest we are seeing for those properties. While demand for Rural properties remains solid, meeting our full-year Real Estate segment guidance continues to depend upon the timing of closing larger transactions in our sales pipeline.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of cash is cash flow from operations, primarily the harvesting of timber and sales of real estate. As a REIT, our main use of cash is dividends. We also use cash to maintain the productivity of our timberlands through replanting and silviculture. Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flow and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund working capital needs while acquisitions of timberlands generally require funding from external sources.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31.



(millions of dollars)	2016			2015
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities		$31.0			$53.4
Investing activities	(20.3		)	(43.7		)
Financing activities	13.4			(30.6		)

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

The decline in cash provided by operating activities in 2016 was primarily attributable to the $9.3 million cash settlement of the New Zealand JV interest rate swaps, a $6.8 million increase in accounts receivable and a $2.7 million increase in log inventory.

Cash Used for Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities decreased $23.4 million compared to 2015 primarily due to the change in restricted cash of $17.6 million and lower timberland acquisitions of $8.8 million. These amounts were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in real estate development investments.

Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities increased $44.0 million from the prior year period primarily due to higher net debt issuances of $44.1 million in 2016.

Table of Contents

Expected 2016 Expenditures

As part of its mixed-use community development project located north of Jacksonville at the interchange of I-95 and State Road A1A, the Company is constructing an office building expected to cost approximately $13 million. Of the $13 million, we expect to incur $6 million in 2016 and $7 million in 2017. The new office will allow consolidation of three leased offices in Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, Florida into one location and also serve as a catalyst for the Company’s mixed-use development project.

Capital expenditures in 2016 are expected to be approximately $63 million, excluding capital expenditures related to the office building and any strategic timberland acquisitions we may make. Capital expenditures are expected to be primarily comprised of seedling planting, fertilization and other silvicultural activities, property taxes, lease payments, allocated overhead and other capitalized costs. Aside from capital expenditures, we may also acquire timberland as we actively evaluate acquisition opportunities. Real estate development investments are expected to be between $10 million and $15 million.

Our 2016 dividend payments are expected to be approximately $123 million assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.25 per share or material changes in the number of shares outstanding.

Future share repurchases, if any, will depend on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow, as well as general market conditions and other considerations including capital allocation priorities.

We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2016 but may make discretionary contributions in the future. On an ongoing basis, cash income tax payments are expected to be minimal. During 2016, we may repatriate $23 million of proceeds received from the sale of our forestry assets to the New Zealand JV when it was formed in 2005. If this occurs, we anticipate that cash payments for income taxes in 2016 will be approximately $2 million.

Performance and Liquidity Indicators

The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, liquidity, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures of financial results: Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above. Management considers these measures to be important to estimate the enterprise and shareholder values of the Company as a whole and of its core segments, and for allocating capital resources. In addition, analysts, investors and creditors use these measures when analyzing our operating performance, financial condition and cash generating ability. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and CAD as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA and CAD as defined may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, costs related to shareholder litigation and the gain on foreign currency derivatives. Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 8—Contingencies.

Table of Contents

We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income for the consolidated Company and to Operating Income for the Segments, as those are the nearest GAAP measures for each. Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods (in millions of dollars):

CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period that is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding strategic acquisitions) and working capital and other balance sheet changes. In compliance with SEC requirements for non-GAAP measures, we reduce CAD by mandatory debt repayments which results in the measure entitled “Adjusted CAD.”

Below is a reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted CAD (in millions of dollars):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Cash provided by operating activities		$31.0			$53.4

(a)	Capital expenditures exclude timberland acquisitions of $14.3 million and $23.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Adjusted CAD decreased as a result of a $22.4 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a $15.7 million increase in working capital and other balance sheet changes. Adjusted CAD generated in any period is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be generated in future periods.

Liquidity Facilities

Term Credit Agreement

On August 5, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions and other commercial banks to provide $550 million of new credit facilities, including a nine-year $350 million term loan facility. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. The periodic interest rate on the term credit agreement is LIBOR plus 1.625%. The Company receives annual patronage refunds, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. The effective interest rate for the first quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of the estimated patronage refunds and interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2016, the term debt was advanced in full under the term credit agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility

Net draws of $8.0 million were made during the quarter for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2016, the Company had available borrowings of $93.3 million, net of $1.7 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit, under the revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

Joint Venture Debt

During the first quarter, the Company used proceeds from the term loan facility to fund a capital contribution into the New Zealand JV, which the New Zealand JV in turn used for repayment of the outstanding amount of $155 million under its existing Tranche A credit facility. In addition, all interest rate swap contracts associated with this debt were settled for $9.2 million at the time of the debt repayment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the New Zealand JV made $12.2 million of additional borrowings, net of repayments, on its working capital facility. Additional draws totaling $15.4 million remain available on the working capital facility. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $0.3 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party.

See Note 4 – Debt for additional information on these agreements and other outstanding debt, as well as for information on covenants that must be met in connection with our mortgage notes, term credit agreement and the revolving credit facility.

Subsequent Event

See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information on subsequent events.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See Note 9 — Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of March 31, 2016.

Contractual Financial Obligations

In addition to using cash flow from operations, we finance our operations through the issuance of debt and by entering into leases. These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transaction, with the result that some are recorded as liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, while others are required to be disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The following table aggregates our contractual financial obligations as of March 31, 2016 and anticipated cash spending by period:



Contractual Financial Obligations (in millions)	Total		Payments Due by Period

Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market and Other Economic Risks

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market risks. We use derivatives in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Derivatives are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2016 we had $470 million of U.S. long-term variable rate debt. Our primary interest rate exposure on variable rate debt results from changes in LIBOR. However, we use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our term credit agreement by swapping existing borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap contracts at March 31, 2016 was $350 million. The interest rate swap contracts and term credit agreement mature in August 2024. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in a corresponding increase/decrease of approximately $1.2 million in interest payments and expense over a 12 month period.

The fair market value of our U.S. long-term fixed interest rate debt is also subject to interest rate risk. The estimated fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2016 was $382 million compared to the $367 million principal amount. We use interest rates of debt with similar terms and maturities to estimate the fair value of our debt. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in prevailing interest rates at March 31, 2016 would result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt of approximately $18 million.

We estimate the periodic effective interest rate on U.S. long-term fixed and variable rate debt for the first quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of interest rate swaps and estimated patronage refunds, excluding unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facility.

The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. Through these operations and our ownership in the New Zealand JV, we are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash held in foreign currencies and on foreign export sales and ocean freight payments that are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. To mitigate these risks, the New Zealand JV routinely enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of the New Zealand JV’s foreign exchange exposure. At March 31, 2016, the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of $24 million and foreign currency option contracts with a notional amount of $89 million outstanding. The amount hedged represents 58% of forecast U.S. dollar denominated harvesting sales proceeds over the next 18 months and 35% of log trading sales proceeds over the next 3 months.


Item 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rayonier management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), are designed with the objective of ensuring information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported or submitted within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control exceptions and instances of fraud have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, based upon the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of SEC Rule 13a-15, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

The information set forth in Note 8—Contingencies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” under Item 1 of Part I of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 2.	Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In February 2016, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of Rayonier’s common shares (the “share repurchase program”) to be made at management’s discretion. The program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were 35,200 shares repurchased under this program in the first quarter of 2016 and there was $99.3 million, or approximately 4,023,923 shares based on the period end closing stock price of $24.68, available for repurchase as of March 31, 2016.

In 1996, we began a Common Share repurchase program (the “anti-dilutive program”) to minimize the dilutive effect of our employee incentive stock plans on earnings per share. This program limits the number of shares that may be purchased each year to the greater of 1.5% of outstanding shares at the beginning of the year or the number of incentive shares issued to employees during the year. In October 2000, July 2003 and October 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of additional shares in the program totaling 2.1 million shares. None of these shares have expiration dates. There were no shares purchased under this program in the first quarter of 2016 and there were 3,776,612 shares available for purchase at March 31, 2016.

The following table provides information regarding our purchases of Rayonier common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2016:



Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (a)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (b)	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (c)
January 1 to January 31	—	—		—	3,776,612
February 1 to February 29	35,200		$19.59	35,200	7,800,535
March 1 to March 31	3,674		$22.59	—	7,800,535
Total	38,874			35,200

(a)

Includes 3,674 shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in March from employees in non-open market transactions. The shares of stock were sold by current and former employees of the Company in exchange for cash that was used to pay withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan. The price per share surrendered is based on the closing price of the company’s stock on the respective vesting dates of the awards.


(b)	Purchases made in open-market transactions under the $100 million share repurchase program announced on February 10, 2016.


(c)	Maximum number of shares authorized to be purchased as of March 31, 2016 include 3,776,612 under the 1996 anti-dilutive program and approximately 4,023,923 under the share repurchase program.
