NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
For purposes of this report, any reference to “Potlatch,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” means Potlatch Corporation and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
The accompanying unaudited 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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, 2014
, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 13, 2015
. We believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of such interim periods have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03,
Interest - Imputation of Interest, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.
The amendments in ASU No. 2015-3 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements or financial covenants.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,
Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 apply to inventory measures using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and will require entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal coarse of business, minus the cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Replacement cost and net realizable value less a normal profit margin will no longer be considered. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5. DEBT
Our credit agreement, dated August 12, 2014, provides for a revolving line of credit up to
$250 million
, which includes
$40 million
for the issuance of stand by letters of credit and
$25 million
for swingline loans. At June 30, 2015,
$15.0 million
was outstanding under the revolving line of credit and approximately
$1.4 million
was utilized by outstanding letters of credit, resulting in
$233.6 million
available for additional borrowings.
NOTE 6. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
As of
June 30, 2015
, we had two stock incentive plans under which performance shares, restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred compensation stock equivalent units were outstanding. These plans have received shareholder approval. 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 June 30, 2015, approximately
1.0 million
shares were authorized for future use under the two plans. We issue new shares of common stock to settle performance shares, restricted stock units and deferred compensation stock equivalent units.

For cash and short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined by discounting 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. For our revolving line of credit borrowings, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the borrowings. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar debt issues, or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price. Contract value of our COLI, the amount at which it could be redeemed, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value because market prices are not readily available.
BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME EFFECTS OF DERIVATIVES
We have seven interest rate swaps to convert interest payments on fixed rate debt to variable rate 3-month LIBOR plus a spread, with the objective of managing exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates on our debt balances.

NOTE 9. 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 are, however, subject to corporate income taxes on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis on January 1, 2006) on sales of real property by the REIT during the first
ten
years following our REIT conversion, which ends on December 31, 2015. The sale of standing timber is not subject to built-in gains tax. The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 modified the built-in gains provisions to exempt sales of real properties in 2011, if
five
years of the recognition period had elapsed before January 1, 2011. The reduced
five
-year holding period was extended each year through 2014. Accordingly, the built-in gains tax did not apply to our sales of real property through 2014; however, the built-in gains tax applies to REIT sales of real property in 2015.
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 wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Therefore, income taxes are primarily due to income of the TRS.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

.
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.
Results of Operations
Our business is organized into three reporting segments: Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate. Sales between segments are recorded as intersegment revenues based on prevailing market prices. Our Resource segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs. Therefore, intersegment revenues typically represent a significant portion of the Resource segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues.
In the period-to-period discussions of our consolidated results of operations, our revenues are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues. In the discussions by business segments, each segment's revenues are presented before the elimination of intersegment revenues.
Overview
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 cyclical fluctuations in the forest products industry, 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, changes in lumber prices, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our wood products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs, asset dispositions or acquisitions and other factors.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, our Resource and Wood Products segment results were affected by lower lumber prices resulting primarily from lower demand and excess supply in the lumber markets due to several factors, including adverse weather in the eastern part of the United States, a mild winter in the western part of the United States, lower log and lumber volume exports from North America to China and a strong U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. In addition, seasonally low harvest volumes and outages related to the completion of two large Wood Products capital projects lowered production volumes. Higher log prices in the Lake States and additional logging, hauling, depletion and employee costs increased operating expenses.

Revenues
- Revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to lower revenues in Wood Products and Real Estate, partially offset by an increase in Resource revenues. Our
Business Segment Results
provide a more detailed discussion of our segments.
Cost of goods sold
- Cost of goods sold increased in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to additional logging, hauling and depletion expense in our Resource segment as a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquired in December 2014. Our
Business Segment Results
provide a more detailed discussion of our segments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
- Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by higher employee salary and benefit costs, including pension expense related to the adoption of updated mortality tables and a reduction in the discount rate.
Interest expense, net
- Net interest expense increased $2.5 million, or 46%, in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to the addition of $310 million in term loans in December 2014 to fund the 2014 acquisition of timberlands in Alabama and Mississippi.
Income tax provision
- Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from the TRS. For the second quarter of 2015, the tax benefit of $1.4 million is the result of the TRS’s loss before income tax of $3.9 million. For the second quarter of 2014, the tax expense of $7.9 million was the result of the TRS’s income before tax of $21.7 million.

Sawlog and pulpwood sales prices are on a delivered basis, which includes logging and hauling.
Resource segment revenues increased $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to increased harvest volumes in our Southern region as a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquired in December 2014. Total harvest volumes increased 31%.
16
Volumes in our Northern region increased 3% in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to favorable logging conditions after spring break-up. Lower prices for sawlogs were the result of lower lumber prices as a significant portion of our sawlog sales are indexed to lumber on a one to three month lag. The decline in pulpwood prices reflects an annual reset in the contract price in Idaho.
As a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquisition, stumpage sales (cutting contracts) will be more common in our Southern region. Stumpage prices can fluctuate based on a mix of pulpwood and sawlogs. Stumpage prices decreased in the second quarter of 2015 due to a higher mix of pulpwood, compared with sawlogs.
Logging, hauling and depletion expense increased due to higher harvest volumes. This was partially offset by lower fuel costs.

Other cost of goods sold is primarily customer freight.
Revenues were $16.4 million lower in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to lower lumber sale prices and lower shipments. Decreased shipments were largely the result of outages related to two large capital projects in our Michigan and Minnesota mills.
Cost of goods sold fluctuated based on the following factors:
•
Fiber costs decreased $1.1 million due to lower production volumes, partially offset by higher log costs in Michigan as a result of strong demand by pulp manufacturers in that region.
•
Manufacturing costs increased primarily due to labor costs as a result of annual salary increases and higher pension and benefit costs.
•
The change in finished goods inventory for the second quarter of 2015 was the result of higher inventory balances at March 31, 2015 due to weak markets and anticipated outages for capital projects. The change in finished goods inventory for the second quarter of 2014 was the result of higher inventory balances at March 31, 2014, which was the result of transportation restrictions resulting from adverse weather.

Revenues
- Revenues decreased in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to lower revenues in Wood Products and Real Estate, partially offset by an increase in Resource revenues. Our
Business Segment Results
provide a more detailed discussion of our segments.
18
Cost of goods sold
- Cost of goods sold increased in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to higher fiber and manufacturing costs in Wood Products and additional logging, hauling and depletion expense in our Resource segment as a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquired in December 2014. This increase was partially offset by fewer acres sold in our Real Estate segment. Our
Business Segment Results
provide a more detailed discussion of our segments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
- Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to higher employee salary and benefit costs, including pension expense related to the adoption of updated mortality tables and a reduction in the discount rate.
Interest expense, net
- Net interest expense increased $5.1 million, or 47%, in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to the addition of $310 million in term loans in December 2014 to fund the 2014 acquisition of timberlands in Alabama and Mississippi.
Income tax provision
- Income taxes are primarily due to income or loss from the TRS. For the first half of 2015, the tax benefit of $1.1 million is the result of the TRS’s loss before income tax of $2.6 million. For the first half of 2014, the tax expense of $13.4 million was the result of the TRS’s income before tax of $38.3 million.

Sawlog and pulpwood sales prices are on a delivered basis, which includes logging and hauling.
20
Resource segment revenues increased $6.6 million in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of increased harvest volumes in our Southern region as a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquired in December 2014. Total harvest volumes increased 16%.
Volumes in our Northern region increased slightly in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to favorable logging conditions after spring break-up. Lower prices for sawlogs reflected lower lumber prices because a significant portion of our sawlog sales are indexed to lumber on a one to three month lag.
As a result of our Alabama and Mississippi timberlands acquisition, stumpage sales (cutting contracts) will be more common in our Southern region. Stumpage prices can fluctuate based on a mix of pulpwood and sawlogs. Stumpage prices increased in the first half of 2015 due to a higher mix of sawlogs, compared with pulpwood. Pulpwood pricing increased in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to higher demand from pulp manufacturers as a result of unseasonably wet weather that reduced inventories.
Logging, hauling and depletion expense increased due to higher harvest volumes. This was partially offset by lower fuel costs.

Other cost of goods sold is primarily customer freight.
Revenues were $15.0 million lower in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to lower lumber prices and lower shipments. Decreased shipments were largely the result of weak markets. In addition, we had outages related to two large capital projects in our Michigan and Minnesota mills.
Cost of goods sold fluctuated based on the following factors:
•
Fiber costs increased $3.4 million primarily due to higher log costs in Michigan as a result of strong demand by pulp manufacturers in that region, partially offset by lower fiber costs in Idaho and the Southern Region.
•
Manufacturing costs increased primarily due to labor costs as a result of annual salary increases and higher pension and benefit costs.
•
The change in finished goods inventory for the first half of 2015 and 2014 was the result of lower fiber costs as compared with the respective year-end market prices.

Real Estate revenues decreased $16.3 million and operating income decreased $10.5 million in the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year. In the first half of 2015, we sold a total of 6,293 acres, including two commercial real estate sites included in HBU, which increased our average price per acre. In the first half of 2014, we sold 26,582 acres, including a first quarter 11,000 acre sale of rural real estate in Idaho and a second quarter 9,400 acre sale of rural real estate in Minnesota.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
At
June 30, 2015
, our financial highlights included:
•
cash and short-term investments of
$10.6 million
;
•
credit agreement borrowing capacity of $233.6 million; and
•
long-term debt of
$629.3 million
.
Net Cash from Operations
Net cash provided from operating activities was:
•
$16.7 million
in 2015 and
•
$68.4 million
in 2014.
Net cash from operations decreased $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the following:
•
Lower customer receipts of $25 million due to lower revenues in Wood Products and Real Estate;
•
Higher Resource costs for logging, hauling and other costs of $5 million;
•
Higher Wood Products log and manufacturing costs of $11 million; and
•
An increase in inventories of $10 million, primarily related to logs.
22
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$6.7 million
for the first half of 2015, compared with
$33.7 million
used in the first half of 2014. Short-term investments decreased $24.5 million in the first half of 2015, compared with an increase of $21.7 million in the first half of 2014, due to less cash provided by operations. Plant and equipment spending increased $5.7 million during the first half of 2015, compared with the same period last year, due to the completion of two large Wood Products capital projects.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was
$19.2 million
and
$31.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2015, net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to paying our quarterly distribution to shareholders of $30.5 million, partially offset by a $15.0 million draw on our revolving line of credit. In the first half of 2014, net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to the payment of quarterly distribution to shareholders of $28.4 million.
Credit Agreement
As of
June 30, 2015
, $15.0 million was outstanding under our revolving line of credit and approximately $1.4 million was utilized by outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $233.6 million available for additional borrowings at
June 30, 2015
. We plan to repay the revolving line of credit in the third quarter of 2015.
In January 2015, a financial covenant in the credit agreement was amended to increase the maximum allowable acres that may be sold during the term of the agreement due to the acquisition of additional timberlands in Alabama and Mississippi in December 2014. The following table sets forth the financial covenants in the bank credit facility and our status with respect to these covenants as of
June 30, 2015

ITEM 4. CONTROLS 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
June 30, 2015
. 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
June 30, 2015
.
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.
