NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we,” “the company” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. These quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We are principally engaged in growing and harvesting timber; manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees; maximizing the value of every acre we own through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties; and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties. Our business segments are categorized based primarily on products and services which include:
●
Timberlands – Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products;
Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) – Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas, and wind and solar resources) and
Wood Products – Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution.
A reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:
$0.91 during first quarter 2021 and
$0.20 during first quarter 2020.
Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units.
Potential Shares Not Included in the Computation of Diluted Earnings per Share
The following shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were either antidilutive or the required performance or market conditions were not met. Some or all of these shares may be dilutive potential common shares in future periods.

LIFO – the last-in, first-out method – applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. locations. The moving average cost method or FIFO – the first-in, first-out method – applies to the balance of our U.S. raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories.
NOTE 6: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic timberlands. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and monetization variable interest entities, or special purpose entities (SPEs), were formed. We were the primary beneficiary and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions.
The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs were financial investments which consisted of bank guarantees. These bank guarantees were in turn backed by bank notes, which were the liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs was used to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization SPE’s note.
During first quarter 2020, we received $362 million in proceeds from our final buyer-sponsored SPE at maturity. The corresponding $302 million in liabilities of this SPE was paid in third quarter 2019.

For the periods presented, service cost is included in “Costs of sales,” “Selling expenses,” and “General and administrative expenses” with the remaining components included in “Non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
NOTE 8: ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:
Compensation and employee benefit costs
Current portion of lease liabilities
23
Customer rebates, volume discounts and deferred income
111
Interest
Taxes payable
115
NOTE 9: LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT
In March 2020, we issued $750 million of 4.00 percent notes due in April 2030. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $732 million.
In January 2020, we refinanced and extended our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2025. Borrowings are at LIBOR plus a spread or at other interest rates mutually agreed upon between the borrower and the lending banks. We had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values and carrying values of our long-term debt and line of credit consisted of the following:
CARRYING
VALUE
FAIR VALUE
(LEVEL 2)
Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit:
Fixed rate
5,250
6,413
6,718
Variable rate
225
Total debt
5,475
6,638
6,943
To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts, and receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
NOTE 11: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Environmental Matters
Site Remediation
Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – commonly known as the “Superfund” – and similar state laws, we:
are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and
have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated.
As of March 31, 2021, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $58 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
NOTE 12: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

NOTE 13: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation activity during first quarter 2021 included the following:
GRANTED

Performance share units (PSUs)
354
229
A total of 1.4 million shares of common stock were issued as a result of RSU vestings, PSU vestings and stock option exercises.
Restricted Stock Units
The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2021 was $34.19. The vesting provisions for RSUs granted in 2021 were consistent with prior year grants.
Performance Share Units
The weighted average grant date fair value of PSUs granted in 2021 was $38.50. The final number of shares granted in 2021 will vest between a range of 0 percent to 150 percent of each grant's target, depending upon actual company performance compared against an industry peer group. PSUs granted in 2021 will vest at a maximum of 100 percent of target value in the event of negative absolute company total shareholder return.

NOTE 14: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Washington Divestiture
On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145,000 acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington for $266 million in cash. This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in third quarter 2021.
Alabama Acquisition
On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021.
Montana Divestiture
On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale.
The divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations.
NOTE 15: OTHER OPERATING COSTS, NET
Other operating costs, net were comprised of the following:
Foreign exchange losses, net
Litigation expense (income), net
Research and development expenses
Other, net
Total other operating costs, net
NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES
As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings.
The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)
NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements concerning our future results and performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, without limitation, statements relating to: our expected future financial and operating performance; our plans, strategies, intentions and expectations; estimated taxes and tax provision; our capital structure and the sufficiency of our liquidity position to meet future cash requirements; future debt maturities, compliance with our debt agreements and the effect on our financial position of the expected discontinuation of LIBOR; expected results of litigation and other legal proceedings and contingent liabilities, and the sufficiency of litigation and other contingent liability reserves and related accruals; expected uses of cash, including future dividends and expected capital expenditures; expected effects of certain divestitures on our operations and financial results; expected economic conditions, including markets, pricing and demand for our products; laws and regulations relevant to our businesses; assumptions used in valuing incentive compensation and related expense; and our expectations relating to returns on invested pension plan assets and expected benefit payments.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often involve use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "committed,” "continue," "estimate," "expect," "foreseeable," "future," "intend," "maintain," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "should," "targeted," "will," and "would," or similar words or terminology. They may use the positive, negative or another variation of those and similar words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or performance. The realization of our expectations and the accuracy of our assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, interest rate levels, housing starts, general availability of financing for home mortgages and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar;
the effect of COVID-19 and other viral or disease outbreaks and their potential effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and future prospects;
market demand for the company's products, including market demand for our timberland properties with higher and better uses, which is related to, among other factors, the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions;
changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, and the Canadian dollar, and the relative value of the euro to the yen;
restrictions on international trade and tariffs imposed on imports or exports;
the availability and cost of shipping and transportation;
economic activity in Asia, especially Japan and China;
performance of our manufacturing operations, including maintenance and capital requirements;
potential disruptions in our manufacturing operations;
the level of competition from domestic and foreign producers;
the successful execution of our internal plans and strategic initiatives, including restructuring and cost reduction initiatives;
the successful and timely execution and integration of our strategic acquisitions, including our ability to realize expected benefits and synergies, and the successful and timely execution of our strategic divestitures, each of which is subject to a number of risks and conditions beyond our control including, but not limited to, timing and required regulatory approvals or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a termination of any acquisition or divestiture transaction under the terms of the governing transaction agreements;

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:
Sales realizations for Timberlands and Wood Products refer to net selling prices. This includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. Real Estate transactions are presented at the contract sales price before commissions and closing costs, net of any credits.
Net contribution (charge) to earnings does not include interest expense or income taxes.
ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS
Overview
In March 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, and a national emergency was declared by the United States. States and municipalities subsequently began to issue shelter-in-place orders and similar mandates requiring those not engaged in essential activities to remain home. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated the forest products industry as an "essential critical infrastructure workforce," which recognizes the importance of timber and wood products operations in supporting critical infrastructure and construction projects and the manufacture of important personal hygiene items. In response to the pandemic, we took proactive steps to safeguard the health of our employees. These actions included detailed cleaning and disinfecting procedures, strict processes around social distancing and personal hygiene, clear communication with our employees, contractors, vendors and visitors about our safety protocols, comprehensive guidance for response to any COVID-19 diagnoses or exposures in our operations, suspension of all air travel and non-essential meetings, and a directive that employees work from home if feasible.
The immediate economic effects of the pandemic were severe, as U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) declined 31 percent in the second quarter of 2020 and the national unemployment rate soared to a record-high of nearly 15 percent in April driven by the restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic. However, the unemployment rate has steadily fallen from that point forward, and U.S. GDP rebounded significantly over the second half of 2020 as states reopened their economies and loosened restrictions. Market conditions across our businesses deteriorated rapidly in late first quarter and early second quarter 2020 but quickly rebounded as demand for housing and wood products proved resilient. Growth in repair and remodel demand and new residential construction activity resulted in demand for wood products that significantly outpaced available supply, and benchmark pricing for our commodity wood products reached record levels. After declining briefly in the final months of 2020, benchmark prices for our commodity wood products have risen sharply during the first quarter of 2021 beyond the record levels established in the prior year. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2021, our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy will continue to be influenced by the trajectory of U.S. housing activity, COVID-19 infections and pace of vaccinations and the nature and extent of future government stimulus including the proposed infrastructure bill.
Business Outlook
The demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market, especially new residential construction, strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as does repair and remodeling activity. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., which in turn affects demand for our logs and wood products. In first quarter 2021, winter weather activity in the U.S. South caused a temporary disruption in production and sales volumes for wood products and logs. Our Timberlands segment, specifically the Western region, is also affected by export demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the production of pulp, paper and oriented strand board as well as the demand for biofuels, such as pellets made from pulpwood. The Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity is contributing to some tightening in the South.
On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for first quarter 2021 averaged 1.61 million units, which was 2 percent above fourth quarter 2020. Single family starts averaged 1.16 million units, a 6 percent decline from fourth quarter 2020 and a 19 percent improvement over first quarter 2020. Multi-family starts averaged 458 thousand units in first quarter 2021, which was 28 percent higher than fourth quarter 2020 and 11 percent lower than first quarter 2020. Sales of newly built, single family homes have been robust averaging a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 959 thousand units for the first quarter of 2021, a 4 percent increase from the prior quarter average of 924 thousand units and a 37 percent increase from the first quarter 2020 average of 701 thousand units.
In repair and remodel markets, stay at home behavior has continued to bolster do-it-yourself activity, contributing to increased sales at building supply stores and overall repair and remodeling demand. This activity is now transitioning to larger projects, supported by increased home buying activity and overall household savings. According to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report, building material and garden supply store sales increased 8 percent in first quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020, evidencing the continued strength of the repair and remodeling market.
In U.S. wood product markets, demand for commodity products increased sharply during the first quarter, and benchmark pricing for lumber and oriented strand board reached record highs as demand continued to outpace production capacity. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $978/MBF for the first quarter 2021, a 41 percent increase from the fourth quarter 2020 average. The Oriented Strand Board Composite indicator price also increased significantly, averaging $904/MSF for the first quarter 2021, a 30 percent increase from the fourth quarter 2020 average.
In Western log markets, Douglas fir sawlog prices increased 4 percent in first quarter 2021 compared with fourth quarter 2020 as reported by RISI Log Lines. In the South, sawlog prices increased by 3 percent from fourth quarter 2020 as reported by TimberMart-South.
Exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During first quarter 2021, disruptions in shipping, diversion of European log and lumber supply to other markets, and curtailments on Australian log imports to China provided a favorable environment for log export demand. In Japan, total housing starts declined 3 percent year to date through February compared to the same period in 2020, while the key
Post and Beam segment saw a 2 percent increase. Decreased lumber imports from Europe to Japan were favorable to our Japanese log export business.

Comparing First Quarter 2021 with First Quarter 2020
Net sales increased $778 million – 45 percent – primarily due to a $786 million increase in Wood Products sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to increased sales realizations across most product lines.
This increase was partially offset by a $6 million decrease in Real Estate & ENR net sales to unaffiliated customers primarily due to decreased real estate acres sold.
Costs of sales increased $48 million – 3 percent – primarily due to increased complementary building product sales and increased cost of commodity products within our Wood Products segment. This increase was partially offset by decreased real estate acres sold within our Real Estate & ENR segment.
Operating income increased $716 million – 298 percent – primarily due to a $730 million increase in consolidated gross margin (see discussion of components above).
This increase was partially offset by a $16 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to an increase in liability classified share-based compensation (refer to Unallocated Items).
Net earnings increased $531 million – 354 percent – primarily due to the $730 million increase in operating income discussed above.
This increase was partially offset by a $192 million increase in income tax expense (refer to Income Taxes).

Net sales to unaffiliated customers
Net sales to unaffiliated customers decreased $2 million – 1 percent – primarily due to:
a $19 million decrease in Southern log sales, attributable to a 13 percent decrease in sales volumes and
an $8 million decrease in other product sales including chips and seedlings.
These decreases were partially offset by a $24 million increase in Western log sales, attributable to a 25 percent increase in sales realizations, partially offset by a 9 percent decrease in sales volumes.
Intersegment sales increased $12 million – 10 percent – primarily due to a 15 percent increase in intersegment log sales realizations, partially offset by a 4 percent decrease in intersegment log sales volumes.
Costs of sales increased $8 million – 2 percent – primarily due to increased transportation costs and third-party log purchases, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes as discussed above.
Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased $3 million – 3 percent – primarily due to the change in the components of gross margin, as discussed above.

The volume of real estate sales is a function of many factors, including the general state of the economy, demand in local real estate markets, the ability of buyers to obtain financing, the number of competing properties listed for sale, the seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the northern states), the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectation of future price appreciation, the timing of harvesting activities, and the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. In any period, the average sales price per acre will vary based on the location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.
Net sales decreased $6 million – 5 percent – primarily due to decreased real estate acres sold, partially offset by an increase in the average price per acre sold.
Costs of sales decreased $36 million – 51 percent – primarily due to decreased real estate acres sold.
Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased $30 million – 83 percent – primarily due to the change in the components of gross margin, as discussed above.

Net charge to earnings
Net charge to earnings increased $22 million – 51 percent – primarily due to:
a $12 million legal benefit recognized in first quarter 2020 and
an $11 million increase in expense related to liability classified share-based compensation due to an increase in our stock price for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to a decrease for the same period in 2020.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:
$79 million for first quarter 2021 and
$85 million for first quarter 2020.
Interest expense decreased by $6 million primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding debt in first quarter 2021 compared to first quarter 2020.
Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information.
Our provision for income taxes was:
a $189 million expense for first quarter 2021 and
a $3 million benefit for first quarter 2020.
Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs). Income tax expense increased by $192 million compared to first quarter 2020 primarily due to an increase in our TRS earnings in first quarter 2021.
Refer to Note 16: Income Taxes for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of March 31, 2021, we had over $1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in January 2025. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
21
CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Consolidated net cash from operations was:
$698 million for first quarter 2021 and
$86 million for first quarter 2020.
Net cash from operations increased $612 million, primarily due to:
increased cash inflows from our business segments and
decreased cash used for interest payments.
These changes were partially offset by a $66 million increase in cash paid for income taxes.
CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:
$(53) million for first quarter 2021 and
$441 million for first quarter 2020.
Net cash from investing activities decreased $494 million, primarily due to:
a $362 million decrease in proceeds received from variable interest entities and
a $145 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of timberlands.
These decreases were partially offset by a $15 million decrease in cash used for capital expenditures.
Summary of Capital Spending by Business Segment
28
38
53
We expect our capital expenditures for 2021 will be approximately $420 million. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change.
CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated net cash from financing activities was:
$(124) million for first quarter 2021 and
$792 million for first quarter 2020.
Net cash from financing activities decreased $916 million, primarily due to:
a $732 million decrease in net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and
a $320 million decrease in net cash received related to borrowings on our line of credit.
These decreases were partially offset by a $127 million decrease in cash paid for dividends.
Line of Credit
We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. This credit facility expires in January 2025.
Long-Term Debt
Our revolving credit agreement and our term loan agreement utilize the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a basis for one of the interest rate options available to the company to apply to outstanding borrowings. Publication of USD LIBOR is expected to cease between January 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, and we are closely monitoring ongoing market developments in the identification or creation of a widely accepted replacement rate. We have included provisions in our revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement that specifically contemplate the transition from LIBOR to a replacement benchmark rate.
As of March 31, 2021, of our $5.5 billion of long-term debt, only $225 million in term loan borrowings are governed by a debt agreement that utilizes LIBOR as one of the alternative applicable rates. We therefore do not believe that the discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our debt agreements will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or materially affect our interest expense.
Debt Covenants
As of March 31, 2021, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our existing long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.
Option Exercises
We received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of:
$17 million for first quarter 2021 and
$6 million for first quarter 2020.
Our average stock price was $34.05 and $26.30 for first quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Dividend Payments
We paid cash dividends on common shares of:
$127 million for first quarter 2021 and
$254 million for first quarter 2020.
This decrease in dividends paid is due to a decrease in dividends paid per common share from $0.34 to $0.17 as part of the new dividend framework discussed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Share Repurchases
We did not repurchase shares during first quarter 2021 or first quarter 2020. There were no unsettled repurchases as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company and our business segments. This measure should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitates period to period comparisons and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items.
