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 Our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy are, and will continue to be, influenced by the trajectory of activity in the U.S. housing and repair and remodel segments, inflation trends and interest rates. 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, particularly 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. Our Timberlands segment, particularly 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 (OSB), as well as the demand for biofuels, such as wood-burning pellets made from pulpwood. Our Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned by available supply, while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity being added in the U.S. South has led to tightening of markets in certain geographies. Our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment is affected by a variety of factors, including the general state of the economy, local real estate market conditions, the level of construction activity in the U.S. and evolution of emerging renewable energy and carbon-related markets. Recently announced and ongoing U.S. trade policy actions have resulted in elevated macroeconomic uncertainty and a decrease in consumer confidence. These policies, along with potential countermeasures by other countries, and the outcome of certain executive orders and trade investigations relating to our businesses, have the potential to affect supply and demand trends, import and export dynamics, and pricing for our products. Home sales and building activity have continued at a moderated pace in response to elevated mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and lower consumer confidence. New single-family home construction remained generally resilient in the first quarter, as existing homeowners continued to be constrained by the lock-in effect of lower mortgage rates compared to current rates, keeping inventories of existing homes relatively low. Multi-family construction remains more muted given the elevated supply of recently completed projects in conjunction with higher interest rates and other factors constraining the underwriting of proposed projects. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for first quarter 2025 averaged 1.4 million units, a 0.1 percent increase from fourth quarter 2024. Single-family starts averaged 1.0 million units in first quarter 2025, a 0.5 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2024. Multi-family starts averaged 381 thousand units in first quarter 2025, a 1.8 percent increase from fourth quarter 2024. Single-family construction is the primary driver for our business as compared to multi-family due to the amount of wood products used. Sales of newly built, single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 684 thousand units for first quarter 2025, an increase of 1.6 percent from fourth quarter 2024, supported by a moderate decrease in mortgage rates in March. Notwithstanding current macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts to housing demand, we expect a favorable U.S. housing construction market over the medium to long-term, supported by strong demographics in the key home buying age cohorts, a decade of under building and historically low housing inventory. Repair and remodeling expenditures decreased by 1.6 percent from fourth quarter 2024 to first quarter 2025 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. While there continues to be steady demand due to growing home equity and the previously mentioned lock-in effect, many homeowners have been more cautious in discretionary spending on large projects. This softness has been reflected in both the do-it-yourself (DIY) and professionally built segments. Over the longer term, we expect this sector to return to historical growth trends driven by recent deferrals in repair and remodel spending, elevated home equity and an aging U.S. housing stock, with a median age of 45 years. In U.S. wood product markets, pricing for lumber increased during first quarter 2025, driven by more constrained market supply from previously announced mill curtailments and closures and speculation around tariffs on imported supply. In contrast, OSB prices decreased in response to cautious buyer sentiment given tariff-related uncertainty and a softer than expected start to the spring building season. In first quarter 2025, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $455/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $376/MSF. Over the course of first quarter 2025, composite prices for lumber increased from $433/MBF to $488/MBF and composite prices for OSB decreased from $418/MSF to $358/MSF. In Western log markets, Douglas-fir sawlog prices increased 13.3 percent in first quarter 2025 compared with fourth quarter 2024, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. This was primarily driven by strengthening lumber prices and seasonal reductions in log supply. In the South, delivered sawlog prices decreased 0.1 percent in first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024 and declined 3.1 percent from first quarter 2024, as reported by TimberMart-South. In general, Southern log supply remains ample and mills continue to align capacity with end-market demand. Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During first quarter 2025, end use demand in export markets moderated. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 1.1 percent year to date through February compared to the same period in 2024, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 2.1 percent decrease. The slowing demand was partially offset by a decrease in lumber imports to Japan from Europe and reduced inventories of European lumber in the Japanese market. In China, log demand moderated in the quarter in response to 16 reduced consumption during the Lunar New Year holiday. In early March, Chinese regulators announced an immediate suspension of log imports from the U.S. Interest rates affect our business primarily through their impact on mortgage rates and housing affordability, their general impact on the economy and their influence on our capital management activities. Actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the overall condition of the economy and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that influence long-term interest rates. 30-year mortgage rates, which are correlated with long-term interest rates, decreased from 6.9 percent in fourth quarter 2024 to 6.7 percent in first quarter 2025, according to economic data from Freddie Mac. Many builders have been able to offset higher mortgage rates through discounts, mortgage rate buydowns and modifying product offerings such as home sizes and finishes. Higher rates have also locked-in many existing homeowners from selling, thereby reducing inventories of existing homes for sale which has led to demand for available new homes. Increased inflation affects the cost of our operations across each of our business segments, including costs for raw materials, transportation, energy and labor. The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual rate of 2.4 percent as of March 2025 compared to 2.9 percent in December 2024. This rate is markedly down from its peak of over 9.0 percent in June 2022. While we can offset some of the impacts of inflation through our sales activities, operational excellence initiatives and procurement practices, not all costs associated with inflation can be fully mitigated or passed on to the customer. The condition of the labor market affects all of our businesses as it relates to our ability to attract and retain employees and contractors. The unemployment rate increased slightly from 4.1 percent in fourth quarter 2024 to 4.2 percent in first quarter 2025. Governments and businesses across the globe are taking action on climate change and are making significant commitments toward decarbonizing operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Achieving these commitments will require governments and companies to take major steps to modify operations, invest in low-carbon activities and purchase credits to reduce environmental impacts. We believe we are uniquely positioned to help entities achieve these commitments through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon sequestration, carbon capture and storage and renewable energy activities.

INTEREST EXPENSE Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was: ● $66 million for first quarter 2025 and ● $67 million for first quarter 2024. Interest expense decreased by $1 million compared to first quarter 2024 primarily due to debt retirements and a debt issuance in first quarter 2025 that slightly decreased our average outstanding debt and weighted average interest rate. INCOME TAXES Our provision for income taxes was: ● a $16 million expense for first quarter 2025 and ● a $20 million expense for first quarter 2024. Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our TRSs. Income tax expense decreased by $4 million compared to first quarter 2024 primarily due to a decrease in our overall earnings in first quarter 2025. Refer to Note 14: Income Taxes for further information. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides financial 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, 2025, we had $560 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in March 2028. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. 22 CASH FROM OPERATIONS Consolidated net cash from operations was: ● $70 million for first quarter 2025 and ● $124 million for first quarter 2024. Net cash from operations decreased $54 million primarily due to decreased cash inflows from our business operations, as well as an $11 million increase in cash paid for income taxes. CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Consolidated net cash from investing activities was: ● $(97) million for first quarter 2025 and ● $(77) million for first quarter 2024. Net cash from investing activities decreased $20 million primarily due to a $14 million increase in cash paid for capital expenditures. Summary of Capital Spending by Business Segment QUARTER ENDED DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS MARCH 2025 MARCH 2024 Timberlands $ 26 $ 31 Wood Products 67 42 Unallocated Items — 6 Total $ 93 $ 79 During fourth quarter 2024, we announced our plan to invest approximately $500 million to build a new TimberStrand ® facility in Monticello, Arkansas. This capital outlay may be sourced from cash on hand or through future financing, as deemed appropriate. Construction began in 2025, with the goal of starting operations in 2027. Once completed, the new facility will increase our engineered wood products capacity by approximately 10 million cubic feet. We anticipate our capital expenditures for 2025 to be approximately $440 million, excluding the investment in our Monticello engineered wood products facility. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change. CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES Consolidated net cash from financing activities was: ● $(97) million for first quarter 2025 and ● $(308) million for first quarter 2024. Net cash from financing activities increased $211 million primarily due to: • a $299 million increase in net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, • a $96 million decrease in cash paid for dividends and • a $25 million decrease in cash used for repurchases of common stock. These changes were partially offset by a $210 million increase in payments on long-term debt. Line of Credit We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. This credit facility expires in March 2028. Refer to Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information. Long-Term Debt During first quarter 2025, we repaid our $139 million 8.50 percent debentures and our $71 million 7.95 percent debentures at maturity. We also entered into a $300 million senior unsecured term loan that will mature in March 2030. Net proceeds after fees were $299 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term SOFR plus a spread or a mutually agreed upon base rate plus a spread. Refer to Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit for further information. 23 Debt Covenants As of March 31, 2025, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future. Dividend Payments We paid cash dividends on common shares of: ● $152 million for first quarter 2025 and ● $248 million for first quarter 2024. The decrease in dividends paid is primarily due to a supplemental dividend of $0.14 per share based on 2023 financial results for a total of $102 million paid in first quarter 2024. Under our cash return framework, we plan to supplement our base dividend with an additional return of variable cash, as appropriate, in the form of a supplemental cash dividend and/or share repurchase to achieve a targeted total return to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). For further information on Adjusted FAD see Performance and Liquidity Measures . Share Repurchases We repurchased 845,049 common shares for approximately $25 million (including transaction fees) during first quarter 2025 under the 2021 Repurchase Program. During first quarter 2024, we repurchased 1,472,369 common shares for approximately $49 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program. There were no unsettled shares as of March 31, 2025 and 12,436 unsettled shares (less than $1 million) as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 4: Net Earnings Per Share and Share Repurchases for further information. PERFORMANCE AND LIQUIDITY 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.

Adjusted FAD should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measure provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our liquidity. Adjusted FAD, as we define it, is net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items. Our definition of Adjusted FAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. We reconcile Adjusted FAD to net cash from operations, as that is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

QUANTIT ATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK LONG-TERM DEBT OBLIGATIONS The following summary of our long-term debt obligations includes: ● scheduled principal repayments for the next five years and after; ● weighted average interest rates for debt maturing in each of the next five years and after and ● estimated fair values of outstanding obligations. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on quoted market prices we receive for the same types and issues of our debt or on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.
