NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE QUARTERS AND YEAR-TO-DATE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

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, 2021. 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

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

●	$0.42 during third quarter 2022 and $2.51 during year-to-date 2022;
●	$0.64 during third quarter 2021 and $2.92 during year-to-date 2021.
---	---

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.

Weighted average common shares outstanding – dilutive		740,975		751,443		745,081		750,999

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.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 22, 2021, we announced that our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the 2021 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in February 2019 (the 2019 Repurchase Program).

We repurchased 4,234,838 common shares for approximately $145 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during third quarter 2022 and 11,217,300 common shares for approximately $404 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had remaining authorization of $523 million for future share repurchases. During year-to-date 2021, we repurchased 780,228 common shares for approximately $26 million (including transaction fees) under the 2019 Repurchase Program.

All common stock repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program and 2021 Repurchase Program were made in open-market transactions. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were 64,135 unsettled shares (approximately $2 million) as of September 30, 2022 and no unsettled shares as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 5: INVENTORIES

Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, as well as materials and supplies.

Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets and Obligations

In our year-end reporting process, we estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon the information available at that time. For certain assets, primarily private equity funds, the information available consists of net asset values as of an interim date, cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year and market events. We update the year-end estimated fair value of pension plan assets in the second quarter of each year to incorporate final net asset values reflected in financial statements received after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During second quarter 2022, we recorded an increase to the beginning of the year fair value of the pension assets of $54 million, or 2 percent. We also updated our census data that is used to estimate our beginning of the year projected benefit obligation for our pension plans, which resulted in a projected benefit obligation decrease of $13 million, or less than 1 percent. The net effect of these updates was a $67 million improvement in funded status. This change in funded status was reflected on our

Consolidated Balance Sheet

as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 7: ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	SEPTEMBER 30,<br><br><br>2022		DECEMBER 31,<br><br><br>2021
Compensation and employee benefit costs	$	213	$	225

Taxes payable		125		106
Other		67		71
Total	$	664	$	673

NOTE 8: LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2022, we completed a series of transactions that lowered our weighted average interest rate and extended our weighted average maturity by issuing $900 million in notes and using the net proceeds plus cash on hand to close cash tender offers for $931 million of principal in higher interest rate notes. We issued $450 million of 3.375 percent notes due in March 2033 and $450 million of 4.000 percent notes due in March 2052. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $444 million and $437 million, respectively. The net proceeds were used to retire $592 million of our 7.375 percent notes due in March 2032, $161 million of our 8.500 percent notes due in January 2025, $73 million of our 7.125 percent notes due in July 2023, $65 million of our 7.950 percent notes due in March 2025, and $40 million of our 7.850 percent notes due in July 2026. We paid holders an aggregate $1.2 billion in cash reflecting principal, premium to par and tender premium. A net pretax charge of $276 million ($207 million after-tax) was included in the

Consolidated Statement of Operations

in first quarter 2022 for premiums to retire $931 million of principal plus unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discounts in connection with the early debt retirement.

In May 2021, we repaid our $225 million variable-rate term loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026.

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt consisted of the following:

DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	SEPTEMBER 30,<br><br><br>2022		DECEMBER 31, 2021
Long-term fixed rate debt (including current maturities):
Carrying value	$	5,053	$	5,099
Fair value (level 2)	$	4,846	$	6,221

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 line of credit has a net carrying value that approximates its fair value within an insignificant difference. The inputs to the valuations of our long-term debt 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, 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 10: 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 September 30, 2022, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $63 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our

Consolidated Balance Sheet

NOTE 14: 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 2022 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.

NOTE 16: TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Carolinas Acquisition

On April 14, 2022, we announced an agreement to purchase 81 thousand acres of North and South Carolina timberlands for approximately $265 million. We completed the purchase on May 18, 2022 and recorded $263 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $2 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our

Consolidated Balance Sheet

.

Washington Divestiture

On April 30, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell 145 thousand acres of timberlands in the North Cascades region of Washington. On July 7, 2021, we completed the sale for $261 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. This transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange along with the Alabama acquisition discussed below. As a result of the sale, a gain of $32 million was recorded in the Timberlands segment in our third quarter 2021

Consolidated Statement of Operations

.

This 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.

Alabama Acquisition

On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69 thousand acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021 and recorded $148 million of timberland assets in “Timber and timberlands at cost, less depletion” and $1 million of related assets in “Property and equipment, net” on our

Consolidated Balance Sheet

. As discussed above, this transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange.

---	---

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, impacts from any future restrictions related to COVID or other viral or similar outbreak, 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, 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 (OSB) as well as the demand for biofuels, such as wood-burning pellets made from pulpwood. The 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.

While underlying longer-term fundamentals remain favorable for construction of new housing in the U.S., home sales and building activity have slowed due in part to higher mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability, and general macroeconomic conditions. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for third quarter 2022 averaged 1.46 million units, an 11 percent decrease from second quarter 2022. Single family starts averaged 0.9 million units, a 16 percent decrease from second quarter 2022. Multi-family starts averaged 551 thousand units in third quarter 2022, which was a 2 percent decrease from second quarter 2022. Sales of newly built, single family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 608 thousand units for third quarter 2022, a decrease of 0.2 percent from the prior quarter. Over the medium to long-term, we expect continued strength in the U.S. housing construction market, supported by strong demographics in the key homebuying age cohorts, a decade of underbuilding and an aging housing stock.

Repair and remodeling expenditures increased by 1.8 percent from second quarter 2022 to third quarter 2022 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. Do-it-yourself activity has been returning to more normalized levels while professionally contracted activities have benefitted from larger projects and increases in home equity levels. Over the longer term, we expect this sector to return to pre-pandemic growth trends with healthy household balance sheets, elevated home equity, and a housing stock median age of 43 years old.

In U.S. wood product markets, demand was measured most of third quarter 2022 as buyers adjusted to a more uncertain economic environment. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $591/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $449/MSF in third quarter 2022. Over the course of the third quarter, prices declined from $604/MBF to $512/MBF for lumber and from $425/MSF to $402/MSF for OSB, reflecting a softening housing construction market. Pricing for both lumber and OSB remain well above 10-year averages.

In Western log markets, Douglas fir sawlog prices fell by 2.9 percent in third quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2022 as reported by RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s portfolio mix. Overall, domestic prices in the West were supported by steady demand and constrained log supplies associated with log and haul capacity in the region. In the South, delivered sawlog prices increased by 0.2 percent from second quarter 2022 and 5.5 percent from third quarter 2021 as reported by TimberMart-South, as mills are carrying higher inventories to mitigate log and haul capacity constraints.

Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During third quarter 2022, end use demand softened which was partly offset by disruptions of other global sources of log supply. In Japan, total housing starts increased 1.4 percent year to date through August compared to the same period in 2021, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 2.8 percent decrease. An increase in lumber imports from Europe to Japan placed downward pressure on market conditions. China demand was held back by their general economic conditions, but constraints of supply sources from other countries supported demand from U.S. producers.

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, increased from 5.7 percent at the end of second quarter 2022 to 6.7 percent at the end of the third quarter. This represents an increase of 3.6 percentage points from the end of 2021, which has had a negative impact on home affordability and has reduced demand for homebuying.

Monetary policy set by the U.S. Federal Reserve affects changes in the rate of inflation as well as changes in demand and supply for goods and services and fluctuations in labor markets. 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 8.2 percent year over year in September 2022. While we can offset some of the impacts of inflation through our sales activities, our operational excellence initiatives, and our procurement practices, not all of the costs associated with inflation can be fully mitigated or passed on to the consumer.

The relative strength 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 was 3.5 percent in September 2022, compared to 3.6 percent at the end of the second quarter. Labor force participation has increased to 62.3 percent in September 2022, from 61.7 percent in September 2021, but this remains below pre-pandemic levels of over 63 percent.

Governments and businesses across the globe are taking action on climate change and are making significant commitments towards 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 offsets to reduce environmental impacts. We believe we are uniquely positioned to help entities achieve these commitments through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon sequestration and carbon capture and storage activities.

In mid-September 2022, Weyerhaeuser employee members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union commenced a work stoppage affecting the company’s operations in Washington and Oregon. The stoppage involves approximately 1,200 employees and affects four lumber mills in our Wood Products segment and a portion of our Western Timberlands operations. This event has had a negative impact on our results of operations for the third quarter, including reductions in fee harvest volumes and sale volumes for Western Timberlands, as well as reductions in production volumes and sales volumes for our lumber business. The stoppage has had a similar impact on our fourth quarter results to date. On October 28, 2022, the company announced the successful resolution of the work stoppage and will resume normal operations as soon as possible.

Comparing Third Quarter 2022 with Third Quarter 2021

Net sales

Net sales decreased $69 million – 3 percent – primarily due to an $86 million decrease in Wood Products sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to decreased sales realizations for oriented strand board, as well as decreased sales volumes for structural lumber.

This decrease was partially offset by an $18 million increase in Timberlands net sales to unaffiliated customers primarily due to increased sales realizations for Southern logs.

Costs of sales

Costs of sales increased $105 million – 7 percent – primarily due to increased freight and raw material costs within our Wood Products segment, as well as increased logging and hauling costs within our Timberlands segment.

Operating income

Operating income decreased $192 million – 30 percent – primarily due to a $174 million decrease in consolidated gross margin (see discussion of components above).

Net earnings

Net earnings decreased $172 million – 36 percent – primarily due to the $192 million decrease in operating income discussed above.

This decrease was partially offset by a $12 million decrease in interest expense, as well as a $7 million decrease in income tax expense (refer to

Interest Expense

).

Comparing Year-to-Date 2022 with Year-to-Date 2021

Net sales

Net sales increased $366 million – 5 percent – primarily due to a $214 million increase in Timberlands sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to increased sales realizations and sales volumes in the Western and Southern regions, as well as a $124 million increase in Wood Products sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to increased sales realizations across most product lines.

Costs of sales

Costs of sales increased $528 million – 11 percent – primarily due to increased freight and raw material costs within our Wood Products segment, as well as increased third-party log purchases and logging and hauling costs within our Timberlands segment.

Operating income

Operating income decreased $186 million – 6 percent – primarily due to a $162 million decrease in consolidated gross margin (see discussion of components above).

Net earnings

Net earnings decreased $322 million – 15 percent – primarily due to a $276 million pretax charge ($207 million after-tax) related to the early extinguishment of debt (refer to

Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

), as well as the $186 million decrease in operating income discussed above.

These decreases were partially offset by a $127 million decrease in income tax expense, as well as a $32 million decrease in interest expense (refer to

Income Taxes

and

Interest Expense

).

Comparing Third Quarter 2022 with Third Quarter 2021

Net charge to earnings decreased $5 million – 10 percent – primarily due to:

●	an $8 million increase in interest income and other due to an increase in the interest rate on our cash and investment accounts;
●	a $4 million increase in foreign exchange gain due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar and
---	---
●	a $3 million decrease in liability classified share-based compensation driven by the change in our stock price.
---	---

These changes were partially offset by a $10 million increase in elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO.

Comparing Year-to-Date 2022 with Year-to-Date 2021

Net charge to earnings increased $7 million – 4 percent – primarily due to a $24 million increase in non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs.

This increase was partially offset by a $10 million increase in foreign exchange gain due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar, as well as a $7 million decrease in liability classified share-based compensation driven by the change in our stock price.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:

●	$67 million for third quarter 2022 and $204 million year-to-date 2022;
●	$79 million for third quarter 2021 and $236 million year-to-date 2021.
---	---

Interest expense decreased by $12 million compared to third quarter 2021 and decreased by $32 million compared to year-to-date 2021 primarily due to decreases in the average outstanding debt and weighted average interest rate.

Refer to

Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

for further information.

INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes was:

●	a $77 million expense for third quarter 2022 and a $470 million expense year-to-date 2022;
●	an $84 million expense for third quarter 2021 and a $597 million expense year-to-date 2021.
---	---

Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our TRSs. Income tax expense decreased by $127 million compared to year-to-date 2021 primarily due to a tax benefit of approximately $69 million resulting from the $276 million pretax loss on debt extinguishment recorded in first quarter 2022, as well as a decrease in our estimated annual effective tax rate.

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 September 30, 2022, we had over $1.9 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.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

Consolidated net cash from operations was:

●	$2,665 million for year-to-date 2022 and
●	$2,665 million for year-to-date 2021.
---	---

Net cash from operations remained consistent as decreased cash inflows from our business operations were offset by a $48 million decrease in cash paid for income taxes, a $37 million decrease in pension and post-employment benefit contributions and payments, and a $26 million decrease in cash paid for interest.

CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:

●	$(530) million for year-to-date 2022 and
●	$(108) million for year-to-date 2021.
---	---

Net cash from investing activities decreased $422 million, primarily due to:

●	a $261 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of timberlands;
●	a $137 million increase in cash paid for the acquisition of timberlands and
---	---
●	a $22 million increase in cash paid for capital expenditures.

Line of Credit

We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. This credit facility expires in January 2025.

Our revolving credit agreement utilizes 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. We plan to transition our revolving credit facility to an alternate reference rate prior to the cessation of LIBOR. We have included provisions in our revolving credit agreement that specifically contemplate the transition from LIBOR to a replacement benchmark rate.

Refer to

Note 8: Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

for further information.

Long-Term Debt

In March 2022, we completed a series of transactions that lowered our weighted average interest rate and extended our weighted average maturity by issuing $900 million in notes and using the net proceeds plus cash on hand to close cash tender offers for $931 million of principal in higher interest rate notes. We issued $450 million of 3.375 percent notes due in March 2033 and $450 million of 4.000 percent notes due in March 2052. The net proceeds after deducting the discount, underwriting fees and issuance costs were $444 million and $437 million, respectively. The net proceeds were used to retire $592 million of our 7.375 percent notes due in March 2032, $161 million of our 8.500 percent notes due in January 2025, $73 million of our 7.125 percent notes due in July 2023, $65 million of our 7.950 percent notes due in March 2025, and $40 million of our 7.850 percent notes due in July 2026. We paid holders an aggregate $1.2 billion in cash reflecting principal, premium to par and tender premium.

In May 2021, we repaid our $225 million variable-rate term loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026.

●	$1,485 million for year-to-date 2022 and
●	$382 million for year-to-date 2021.
---	---

The increase in dividends paid is primarily due to a supplemental dividend of $1.45 per share ($1,084 million in total) paid in the first quarter of 2022 based on 2021 financial results.

There were 64,135 unsettled shares (approximately $2 million) as of September 30, 2022 and no unsettled shares as of December 31, 2021. Refer to

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.

Net Earnings and Net Earnings per Diluted Share Before Special Items

We use net earnings before special items and net earnings per diluted share before special items as key performance measures to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company. These measures should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitate period to period comparisons and are widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties.
