NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Rayonier" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , as filed with the SEC.

Reclassifications

Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for information regarding reclassifications for discontinued operations.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This standard requires reporting, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI by component. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount is reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other currently required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The information required by this standard must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item or in a note. See Note 15 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for our disclosures required under this guidance.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued , and one subsequent event was identified that warranted disclosure. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for additional information.

  1. SALE OF WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESS

On March 1, 2013, Rayonier completed the previously announced sale of its Wood Products business (consisting of three lumber mills in Baxley, Swainsboro and Eatonton, Georgia) to International Forest Products Limited (“Interfor”) for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment . The sale is consistent with the Company's strategic plan to fully position its manufacturing operations in the specialty chemicals sector. Rayonier will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Wood Products business. Accordingly, the operating results of the Wood Products business, formerly reported as a separate operating segment , are classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Wood Products segment, which will remain with the Company after the sale, are reported in continuing operations.

Rayonier recognized an after-tax gain of $42.7 million on the sale. The gain is included in "Income from discontinued operations, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the period ended March 31, 2013.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company's discontinued operations and the related gain for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as presented in "Income from discontinued operations, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
Sales $ 16,968 $ 19,209
Cost of sales and other (14,258 ) (17,949 )
Gain on sale of discontinued operations 64,040
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes 66,750 1,260
Income tax expense (22,273 ) (422 )
Income from discontinued operations, net $ 44,477 $ 838

The sale did not meet the "held for sale" criteria prior to the period it was completed. The major classes of Wood Products assets and liabilities included in the sale are as follows:

March 1, 2013
Accounts receivable, net $ 4,127
Inventory 4,270
Prepaid and other current assets 2,053
Property, plant and equipment, net 9,990
Total assets $ 20,440
Total liabilities $ 596

Cash flows from discontinued operations are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. As such, they are included with cash flows from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier will provide Interfor with saw timber procurement services for the three lumber mills through December 31, 2013. Rayonier also contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier's Jesup pulp mill and market other wood chips produced by the mills to third parties on Interfor's behalf. The Company will purchase 100 percent of the Baxley mill chips for five years and 25 percent of the Swainsboro mill chips through the end of 2013. The purchase price of these chips will be based on the average price paid by the Company to unrelated third parties. Prior to the Wood Products sale, saw timber procurement services for and wood chip purchases from the lumber mills were intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
Wood chip purchases $ 1,650 $ 3,234
Saw timber procurement services 223 287
Total intercompany $ 1,873 $ 3,521

  1. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table provides details of the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
Income from continuing operations $ 103,258 $ 52,599
Income from discontinued operations 44,477 838
Net income $ 147,735 $ 53,437
Shares used for determining basic earnings per common share 124,479,865 122,352,435
Dilutive effect of:
Stock options 533,031 719,166
Performance and restricted shares 448,440 651,729
Assumed conversion of Senior Exchangeable Notes (a) 2,115,959 2,967,187
Assumed conversion of warrants (a) (b) 2,859,593 1,241,612
Shares used for determining diluted earnings per common share 130,436,888 127,932,129
Basic earnings per common share:
Continuing operations $ 0.83 $ 0.43
Discontinued operations 0.36 0.01
Net income $ 1.19 $ 0.44
Diluted earnings per common share:
Continuing operations $ 0.79 $ 0.41
Discontinued operations 0.34 0.01
Net income $ 1.13 $ 0.42
Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share:
Stock options, performance and restricted shares 220,701 445,859
Assumed conversion of exchangeable note hedges (a) 2,115,959 2,967,187
Total 2,336,660 3,413,046

(a) The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the "2012 Notes") matured in October 2012; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. Similarly, Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the "2015 Notes") due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the 2012 Notes was only included for the three months ended March 31, 2012, while the effect of the 2015 Notes was included for both periods presented.

The warrants sold in conjunction with the Notes due 2012 began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013 . As a result, 2,036,976 shares were issued through the end of the first quarter and 97,918 shares issued in the first week of April. The dilutive impact of these warrants was calculated based on the amount of time they were outstanding before settlement during the first quarter. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants for the Notes due 2015 if the stock price exceeds $39.43 per share. For additional information on the potential dilutive impact of the Senior Exchangeable Notes, warrants and exchangeable note hedges, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 14 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.

(b) The higher shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants were primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $45.07 in first quarter 2012 to $55.47 in first quarter 2013.

RAYONIER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

  1. INCOME TAXES

Rayonier is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). In general, only its taxable REIT subsidiaries, whose businesses include the Company's non-REIT qualified activities, are subject to corporate income taxes. However, the Company was subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis for property held upon REIT election at January 1, 2004) on taxable sales of such property during calendar years 2004 through 2010. In 2011, the law provided a built-in-gains tax holiday. In 2013, the law provided a built-in gains tax holiday for 2012 (retroactive) and 2013 which will impact the Company's 2013 provision. Accordingly, the provision for corporate income taxes relates principally to current and deferred taxes on taxable REIT subsidiaries' income and certain property sales.

Alternative Fuel Mixture Credit ("AFMC") and Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit ("CBPC")

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed two credits for taxpayers that produced and used an alternative fuel in the operation of their business through December 31, 2009. The AFMC is a $.50 per gallon refundable tax credit (which is not taxable), while the CBPC is a $1.01 per gallon credit that is nonrefundable, taxable and has limitations based on an entity's tax liability. Rayonier produces and uses an alternative fuel ("black liquor") at its Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida performance fibers mills, which qualified for both credits. The Company claimed the AFMC on its 2009 tax return.

In the first quarter of 2013, management approved a $70 million tax payment to exchange approximately 120 million gallons of black liquor previously claimed for the AFMC for the CBPC. As a result, the Company recorded a $19 million discrete tax benefit in the current period reflecting reduced future tax payments of $89 million , including approximately $60 million realized during the remainder of 2013 and $29 million in the first half of 2014. There was no exchange of AFMC for CBPC in first quarter 2012. For additional information on the AFMC and CBPC, see Note 8 — Income Taxes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes from Continuing Operations

The Company's effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The Company's effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than 2012 primarily due to recording the AFMC exchange and the federal research and experimentation tax credit (which was retroactively enacted in 2013).

The table below reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company's effective tax rate for each period presented (in millions of dollars).

Three Months Ended March 31,
2013 2012
Income tax expense at federal statutory rate $ 38 35.0 % $ 25 35.0 %
REIT income not subject to tax (11 ) (10.1 )% (5 ) (7.7 )%
Other (2 ) (1.5 )% (1 ) (0.8 )%
Income tax expense before discrete items 25 23.4 % 19 26.5 %
Exchange of AFMC for CBPC (19 ) (17.5 )% %
Other (2 ) (1.8 )% (1 ) (0.7 )%
Income tax expense as reported $ 4 4.1 % $ 18 25.8 %

Provision for Income Taxes from Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment . For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, income tax expense related to discontinued operations was $22.3 million ( $21.4 million from the gain on sale) and $0.4 million , respectively. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.

  1. RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

In order to qualify for like-kind exchange ("LKE") treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company had $0.7 million and $10.6 million , respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

  1. JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

At March 31, 2013, the Company held a 26 percent interest in Matariki Forestry Group ("Matariki"), a joint venture ("JV") that owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. In addition to the investment, Rayonier New Zealand Limited ("RNZ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the JV forests and operates a log trading business.

Rayonier’s investment in the JV is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Income from the JV is reported in the Forest Resources segment as operating income since the Company manages the forests and its JV interest is an extension of the Company’s operations. A portion of Rayonier’s equity method investment is recorded at historical cost which generates a difference between the book value of the Company’s investment and its proportionate share of the JV’s net assets. The difference represents the Company’s unrecognized gain from RNZ’s sale of timberlands to the JV in 2005. The deferred gain is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated number of years the JV expects to harvest the timberlands.

Subsequent Event

In April 2013 , Rayonier acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in the Matariki JV for approximately $140 million . As a 65 percent owner, the Company will be required to consolidate 100 percent of the JV's assets, liabilities and results of operations and record the non-controlling partner's 35 percent interest beginning in the second quarter of 2013.

  1. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Rayonier operates in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. Prior to the first quarter of 2013, the Company operated in four reportable business segments, which included Wood Products. In March 2013, the Company sold its Wood Products business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.

Forest Resources sales include all activities related to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use ("HBU"). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by the Company’s real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC. The Performance Fibers segment includes two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. The Company’s remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are reported in "Other Operations." Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the operating income of the segments.

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

Total assets, sales, operating income (loss) and depreciation, depletion and amortization by segment including Corporate were as follows:

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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

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

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

As of March 31, 2013 and 2012 , the impact of the Company's derivative instruments and their location within the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was as follows:

Location of Gain Recognized in Income March 31, 2013 — Carrying Amount Fair Value (Level 1) March 31, 2012 — Carrying Amount Fair Value (Level 1)
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts (a) Other Operating Income, net $ 1,881 $ 1,881

(a) Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Other Current Assets."

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk between the US dollar and the New Zealand dollar in connection with the Company's purchase of an additional 39 percent interest in the JV. The foreign currency forward contracts were settled in April 2013. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for additional information on the purchase.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair values and categorization under the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , using market information and what management believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

Asset (liability) March 31, 2013 — Carrying Amount Fair Value December 31, 2012 — Carrying Amount Fair Value
Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents $ 266,017 $ 266,017 $ — $ 280,596 $ 280,596 $ —
Restricted cash (a) 651 651 10,559 10,559
Current maturities of long-term debt (50,000 ) (50,000 ) (150,000 ) (150,000 )
Long-term debt (1,150,471 ) (1,307,144 ) (1,120,052 ) (1,250,341 )

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

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

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

Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities.

Variable Interest Entity

Rayonier holds a variable interest in a bankruptcy-remote, limited liability subsidiary ("special-purpose entity") which was created in 2004 when Rayonier monetized a $25.0 million installment note and letter of credit received in connection with a timberland sale. The Company contributed the note and a letter of credit to the special-purpose entity and using the installment note and letter of credit as collateral, the special-purpose entity issued $22.6 million of 15-year Senior Secured Notes and remitted cash of $22.6 million to the Company. There are no restrictions related to the transferred financial assets. Rayonier maintains a $2.6 million interest in the entity and receives immaterial cash payments equal to the excess of interest received on the installment note over the interest paid on the Senior Secured Notes. The Company's interest is recorded at fair value and is included in "Other Assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, the Company calculated and recorded a de minimus guarantee liability to reflect its obligation of up to $2.3 million under a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed certain obligations of the entity. This guarantee obligation is also collateralized by the letter of credit. The Company's interest in the entity, together with the make-whole agreement, represents the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with the special-purpose entity. Upon maturity of the Senior Secured Notes in 2019 and termination of the special-purpose entity, Rayonier will receive the remaining $2.6 million of cash. The Company determined, based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, that it does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic success. Therefore, Rayonier is not the primary beneficiary and is not required to consolidate the entity.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Asset Carrying Value at March 31, 2013 Level 2 Carrying Value at December 31, 2012 Level 2
Investment in special-purpose entity $ 2,666 $ 2,666 $ 2,671 $ 2,671

The fair value of the investment in the special-purpose entity is determined by summing the discounted value of future principal and interest payments Rayonier will receive from the special-purpose entity. The interest rate of a similar instrument is used to determine the discounted value of the payments.

  1. GUARANTEES

The Company provides financial guarantees as required by creditors, insurance programs, and state and foreign governmental agencies. As of March 31, 2013 , the following financial guarantees were outstanding:

Financial Commitments Maximum Potential Payment Carrying Amount of Liability
Standby letters of credit (a) $ 18,205 $ 15,000
Guarantees (b) 2,254 43
Surety bonds (c) 7,231 1,388
Total financial commitments $ 27,690 $ 16,431

(a) Approximately $15 million of the standby letters of credit serve as credit support for industrial revenue bonds. The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation and pollution liability policy requirements. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2013 and will be renewed as required.

(b) In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At March 31, 2013 , the Company has a de minimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.

(c) Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates between 2013 and 2014 and are expected to be renewed as required.

  1. LIABILITIES FOR DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

An analysis of the liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations follows:

March 31, — 2013 December 31, — 2012
Balance, beginning of period $ 81,695 $ 90,824
Expenditures charged to liabilities (1,631 ) (9,926 )
Increase to liabilities 133 797
Balance, end of period 80,197 81,695
Less: Current portion (8,398 ) (8,105 )
Non-current portion $ 71,799 $ 73,590

The Company is exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of March 31, 2013, this amount could range up to $29 million, allocable over several of the applicable sites, and arises from uncertainty over the availability, feasibility or effectiveness of certain remediation technologies, additional or different contamination that may be discovered, development of new or more effective environmental remediation technologies and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies.

The Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for probable costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its dispositions and discontinued operations. Remedial actions for these sites vary, but include on-site (and in certain cases off-site) removal or treatment of contaminated soils and sediments, recovery and treatment/remediation of groundwater, and source remediation and/or control.

  1. CONTINGENCIES

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

  1. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has four qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a significant majority of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans . Currently, all qualified plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change.

The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recognized during the stated periods are shown in the following tables:

Pension Postretirement
Three Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended March 31,
2013 2012 2013 2012
Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost
Service cost $ 2,419 $ 1,940 $ 249 $ 210
Interest cost 4,834 3,989 240 223
Expected return on plan assets (7,424 ) (5,879 )
Amortization of prior service cost 388 302 6 6
Amortization of losses 5,727 4,056 218 144
Net periodic benefit cost $ 5,944 $ 4,408 $ 713 $ 583

In 2013, the Company has no mandatory pension contribution requirements, but may make discretionary contributions.

  1. DEBT

The warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 began maturing on January 15, 2013 and continued to mature through March 27, 2013 . As of March 31, 2013, 7,984,078 of the 8,313,511 warrants have settled, resulting in the issuance of 2,036,976 Rayonier common shares. The remaining warrants settled through April 2, 2013 and an additional 97,918 common shares were issued.

As of December 31, 2012 , the $172.5 million 4.50 % Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2013 . Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended March 31, 2013 , these notes again became exchangeable at the option of the holder for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2013 . The entire balance of the notes remained classified as long-term debt at March 31, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.

During first quarter 2013, the Company made net repayments of $70 million on its $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $242 million of available borrowings under this facility at March 31, 2013.

There were no other significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors which may affect future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Rayonier's future financial and operational performance, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate" and other similar language. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that are made in this document.

Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward- looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our subsequent Forms 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K and other reports to the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Segments

We are a leading international forest products company primarily engaged in timberland management, the sale of real estate, and the production and sale of high-value specialty cellulose fibers and fluff pulp. We operate in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. Prior to the first quarter of 2013, the Company operated in four reportable business segments, which included Wood Products. In March 2013, the Company sold its Wood Products business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.

Forest Resources sales include all activities which relate to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use ("HBU"). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by our real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC. The Performance Fibers segment includes two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. Our remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are combined and reported in "Other Operations." Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits or losses are eliminated in consolidation.

We evaluate financial performance based on the operating income of the segments. Operating income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

In the Atlantic and Gulf regions, both sales and operating income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the prior year period as prices increased due to improved demand and a shift in sales volume from pulpwood to sawtimber. In addition, volumes in the Atlantic region were accelerated into the first quarter as additional tracts were made available to capture favorable prices.

In the Northern region, improved domestic and export demand led to a 12 percent increase in Northwest stumpage prices over the prior year period. Operating income also improved significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the prior year period as higher prices and volumes more than offset increased logging costs.

The New Zealand sales represent timberland management fees for services provided to our New Zealand joint venture ("JV") in which we owned 26 percent as of March 31, 2013. The operating income primarily represents equity earnings related to the JV's timber activities. In April 2013, we acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in the New Zealand JV for about $140 million. As a 65 percent owner, we will be required to consolidate 100 percent of the JV's results of operations and record the non-controlling partner's 35 percent interest, beginning in the second quarter.

REAL ESTATE

Our real estate holdings are primarily in the southeastern U.S. We segregate these real estate holdings into three groups: development HBU, rural HBU and non-strategic timberlands. Our strategy is to extract maximum value from our HBU properties while selling non-strategic holdings to allow reinvestment in more strategic properties.

Table of Contents

First quarter 2013 sales and operating income both increased over the prior year period due to higher non-strategic timberland prices and volumes, which included a 5,400 acre sale at $3,673 per acre. Favorable non-strategic timberland results were partially offset by a decline in rural volumes, as the prior year period included two large sales totaling 3,900 acres.

PERFORMANCE FIBERS

Sales (in millions) 2012 Changes Attributable to: 2013

Cellulose specialties $ 212 $ 9 $ 26 $ 247
Absorbent materials 39 (6 ) 4 37
Total Sales $ 251 $ 3 $ 30 $ 284

Cellulose specialties sales improved in first quarter 2013 versus the prior year period as volumes increased 12 percent due to the timing of customer orders and prices increased four percent. Absorbent materials sales decreased compared to the prior year period due to a 12 percent decline in price resulting from weaker market conditions. The impact of lower absorbent materials prices was partially offset by a nine percent increase in volumes.

Operating Income (in millions) — Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Changes Attributable to: — Price Volume/ Mix Cost/Other 2013
Total Operating Income $ 81 $ 3 $ 10 $ (2 ) $ 92

Operating income improved by 14 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the prior year period as higher cellulose specialties prices and volumes more than offset weaker absorbent materials prices and increased wood costs.

We are on schedule to complete the Jesup mill cellulose specialties expansion project ("CSE") in mid-2013 at a cost range of $375 million to $390 million. As a result, 2013 will be a transition year for our Performance Fibers business as we will be exiting the commodity absorbent materials business and moving to producing only cellulose specialties. Upon completion of the CSE, we plan to initially produce commodity viscose as we commence customer qualifications for cellulose specialties from the converted line. As we complete customer qualifications and transition from producing commodity viscose to cellulose specialties, phased-in production of cellulose specialties from the CSE is expected to be 5,000 to 20,000 tons in 2013, approximately 100,000 tons in 2014, and reach the full production rate of 190,000 tons of new capacity in late 2015. As production of cellulose specialties increases, we anticipate total sales and operating income to increase as higher prices received on the additional cellulose specialties volumes more than offset expected cost increases of approximately 11 percent for 2013 and the net 70,000 metric ton reduction in overall production capacity. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our cellulose specialties average sales price of $1,874 per metric ton was $1,230 above our absorbent materials average sales price per metric ton. We expect our costs to increase during the CSE phase-in due to start-up and higher conversion costs and depreciation expense.

OTHER OPERATIONS

Sales from our New Zealand log trading business increased $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the prior year period while operating income improved $1 million due to increased Asian demand. Operating results also benefited from foreign currency gains.

Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations

Corporate and other expenses for first quarter 2013 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and foreign currency forward contract gains.

Interest Expense/Income and Income Tax Expense

Interest and other expenses were $4 million below the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to lower borrowing rates and higher capitalized interest related to the CSE project.

The first quarter 2013 effective tax rate from continuing operations before discrete items was 23.4 percent compared to 26.5 percent in the prior year period. The lower tax rate was due to proportionately higher earnings from REIT operations in 2013. Including discrete items, primarily the $19 million benefit from the Alternative Fuel Mixture Credit ("AFMC") exchange for the Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit ("CBPC") in first quarter, the effective tax rate was 4.1 percent versus 25.8 percent in first quarter 2012. See Note 4 — Income Taxes for additional information.

Outlook

In Forest Resources, the early stages of an improving housing market are being reflected in increasing sawlog demand and prices, and Asian export markets have strengthened. In Real Estate, we are encouraged by higher demand for our non-strategic properties and increased interest in our development properties. In this transition year for Performance Fibers, cellulose specialties markets continue to be strong.

We expect 2013 earnings from continuing operations to be weighted more heavily toward the first half of the year with the benefit of the tax credits recognized in the first quarter and the impact of the CSE project phase-in on the second half. Overall, excluding the results of the Wood Products business and gain on sale, we continue to expect 2013 operating income and EPS to be slightly above 2012.

Our full year 2013 financial guidance is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under Item 2 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Forward-Looking Statements of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employee Relations

On June 30, 2012, collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 700 hourly employees at our Jesup mill expired. Negotiations were successfully concluded on March 28, 2013, and the unions ratified a new agreement on April 12, 2013 that will expire on June 30, 2017. See Item 1 — Business and Item 1A — Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on employee relations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flows and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund cyclicality in working capital needs and long-term debt has been used to fund major acquisitions and strategic projects.

Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities $ 90 $ 111
Investing activities 24 (74 )
Financing activities (129 ) 120

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to the Company's election to pay $70 million to exchange the AFMC for the CBPC. This resulted in a $19 million discrete tax benefit in the current quarter reflecting reduced future tax payments of $89 million, including approximately $60 million realized during the remainder of 2013 and $29 million in the first half of 2014. Excluding this item, operating cash inflows increased $49 million, primarily due to stronger operating results.

32

Table of Contents

Cash Provided by (Used for) Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities increased mainly due to the receipt of $84 million from the sale of our Wood Products business, lower capital expenditures and strategic timberland acquisitions and a change in restricted cash due to the timing of like-kind exchanges. Partially offsetting these results was an $11 million increase in spending on the CSE.

Cash (Used for) Provided by Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities increased primarily due to net repayments of $70 million in first quarter 2013 versus net borrowings of $175 million in the prior year period. In addition, dividend payments were higher due to the rate increase effective in third quarter 2012.

Expected 2013 Expenditures

Capital expenditures in 2013 are forecasted between $150 million and $160 million, excluding strategic timberland acquisitions and the CSE. We spent $37 million in the first quarter of 2013 on the CSE and expect total 2013 CSE spending to range between $130 million and $145 million. Annual dividend payments are expected to increase from $207 million in 2012 to $224 million in 2013 assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.44 per share.

We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2013 but may make discretionary contributions. Cash payments for income taxes in 2013 are anticipated to be between $75 million and $80 million, excluding taxes related to the gain on the Wood Products sale. Expenditures for environmental costs related to our dispositions and discontinued operations are expected to be $8 million. See Note 11 — Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations for further information .

Performance and Liquidity Indicators

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

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

Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
Net Income to EBITDA Reconciliation
Net Income $ 148 $ 53
Interest, net 8 12
Income tax expense, continuing operations 4 18

EBITDA by segment is a critical valuation measure used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, existing shareholders and potential shareholders to measure how the Company is performing relative to the assets under management. EBITDA by segment for the respective periods was as follows (millions of dollars):

Three Months Ended March 31, — 2013 2012
EBITDA by Segment
Forest Resources $ 30 $ 25
Real Estate 21 8
Performance Fibers 107 92
Other Operations (1 )
Corporate and other (a) 61 (9 )
EBITDA $ 219 $ 115

(a) First quarter 2013 results includes a $64 million gain on the sale of Wood Products.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 , EBITDA was higher than the prior year period primarily due to higher operating results.

The following tables reconcile Operating Income by segment to EBITDA by segment (millions of dollars):

Forest Resources Real Estate Performance Fibers Other Operations Corporate and Other Total
Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Operating Income $ 13 $ 17 $ 92 $ — $ (7 ) $ 115

EBITDA $ 25 $ 8 $ 92 $ (1 ) $ (9 ) $ 115

Adjusted CAD is a non-GAAP measure of cash generated during a period which is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company's common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted for capital spending, the change in committed cash, and other items which include cash provided by discontinued operations, proceeds from matured energy forward contracts, excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation and the change in capital expenditures purchased on account. Committed cash represents outstanding checks that have been drawn on our zero balance bank accounts but have not been paid. In compliance with SEC requirements for non-GAAP measures, we reduce CAD by mandatory debt repayments which results in the measure entitled "Adjusted CAD."

(a) Capital expenditures exclude strategic capital. Strategic capital totaled $58 million for the CSE and $2 million for timberland acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 . Strategic capital totaled $41 million for the CSE and $9 million for timberland acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2012 .

Adjusted CAD was lower in 2013 primarily due to a $70 million tax payment to exchange AFMC for CBPC, partially offset by higher operating results. Adjusted CAD generated in any period is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be generated in future periods.

Liquidity Facilities

During first quarter 2013, we made net repayments of $70 million on our $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $242 million of available borrowings under this facility at March 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2012, our $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2013. Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. These notes are also exchangeable in the second quarter based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ending March 31, 2013. If the note holders exercise their options prior to June 30, 2013, the Company intends to repay the principal of the notes by accessing its revolving credit facility. Any excess exchange value will be settled at the option of the Company in either cash or stock of Rayonier.

In connection with our installment note, term credit agreement and credit facility, covenants must be met, including ratios based on the covenant definition of EBITDA, ratios based on consolidated funded debt compared to consolidated net worth, ratios of subsidiary debt to consolidated net tangible assets and ratios of cash flows to fixed charges. At March 31, 2013 , we are in compliance with all of these covenants.

In addition to these financial covenants, the installment note, mortgage note, term credit agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others.

Contractual Financial Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material changes to the Contractual Financial Obligations table as presented in Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 10 — Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of March 31, 2013 .

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market and Other Economic Risks

Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2012 . For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013 .

In the quarter ended March 31, 2013 , based upon the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of SEC Rule 13a-15, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On February 6, 2013 , China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) notified the Company and a number of other parties that it had commenced an anti-dumping investigation into imports of dissolving, cotton and bamboo pulp into China from the U.S., Canada and Brazil. The notice published by MOFCOM indicates the investigation was initiated based on a petition filed by a number of primarily commodity viscose pulp manufacturers in China. Nonetheless, as currently scoped by MOFCOM, the investigation includes all dissolving pulp, including the Company's high alpha (high purity) cellulose specialties pulps.

According to the notice, the investigation period for dumping covers calendar year 2012 , and the investigation period for purposes of determining potential injury to the Chinese cellulose pulp industry is from January 1, 2010 until December 31, 2012 . During calendar year 2012, Rayonier shipped about 124,000 tons of pulp into China, with about 114,500 tons being our high alpha acetate and other high purity pulps. The remainder was commodity viscose pulps.

Under Chinese law, the entire anti-dumping investigation process is expected to take 12 to 18 months . Based on detailed information required to be submitted, MOFCOM is expected to first make a preliminary determination of the dumping margin, if any, on a company-by-company basis within 6 to 9 months after initiation . Between 12 and 18 months from initiation , MOFCOM is then expected to issue its final dumping determination for each company. Final dumping duties, if any, are imposed for five years.

The Company is cooperating with this investigation. While no assurances can be given, it is not expected that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.
