NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

1. 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 (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any 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, 2017 , as filed with the SEC (the “2017 Form 10-K”).

SUMMARY OF UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE

See Note 2 — Revenue for significant accounting policies related to revenue that were revised upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales associated with real estate sold includes the cost of the land, the cost of any timber on the property that was conveyed to the buyer, any real estate development costs and any closing costs including sales commissions that may be borne by the Company. As allowed under GAAP, the Company expenses closing costs, including sales commissions, when incurred for all real estate sales with future performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year. When developed residential or commercial land is sold, the cost of sales includes actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs benefiting the property sold through completion. Costs are allocated to each sold unit or lot based upon the relative sales value. For purposes of allocating development costs, estimates of future revenues and development costs are re-evaluated periodically throughout the year, with adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining units available for sale.

For a full description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2017 Form 10-K.

RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( Topic 606 ), on January 1, 2018. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed at the date of adoption. The Company also elected not to retrospectively restate contracts modified prior to January 1, 2018. A cumulative effect of adoption adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was not recorded as there was no accounting impact to any contracts with customers not completed at the date of adoption. See Note 2 — Revenue for additional information.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which requires that an employer report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Additionally, the other components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of losses or gains) are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. ASU No. 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Rayonier adopted ASU No. 2017-07 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 and applied the update retrospectively to all periods presented. See Note 14 — Employee Benefit Plans for the components of net periodic benefit cost and the location of these items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU No. 2016-18 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Rayonier adopted ASU No. 2016-18 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 and applied the update retrospectively to all periods presented. Restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-year and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and therefore changes in restricted cash are no longer reported as cash flow activities. See Note 17 — Restricted Cash for additional information, including the nature of restrictions on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.

Rayonier adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Receipts and Cash Payments in the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which currently requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. ASU No. 2016-02 also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. This update provides an optional transition practical expedient not to evaluate under ASU No. 2016-02 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under ASU No. 2016-02, once adopted. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis beginning at the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which will make more financial and non-financial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 , Income Statement—Reporting Compr ehensive Income ( Topic 220 ) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU No. 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2018-02 is required to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03 , Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments —Overall (Subtopic 825-10), to clarify certain provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 and amend other provisions. ASU No. 2018-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-01. The Company anticipates the adoption of this standard will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events occurring from June 30, 2018 to the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. No events were identified that warranted recognition or disclosure.

2. REVENUE

ADOPTION OF ASC 606

For information on the adoption of ASC 606, including changes to significant accounting policies and required transition disclosures, see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation .

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). The Company generally satisfies performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore has applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts and unearned license revenue. These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. The Company generally collects payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore has elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component.

REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR TIMBER SALES AND NON-TIMBER INCOME

Revenue from the sale of timber is recognized when control passes to the buyer. The Company utilizes two primary methods or sales channels for the sale of timber, a stumpage or standing timber model and a delivered log model. The sales method the Company employs depends upon local market conditions and which method management believes will provide the best overall margins. Under the stumpage model, standing timber is sold primarily under pay-as-cut contracts, with specified duration (typically one year or less) and fixed prices, whereby revenue is recognized as timber is severed and the sales volume is determined. The Company also sells stumpage under lump-sum contracts for specified parcels where the Company receives cash for the full agreed value of the timber prior to harvest and control passes to the buyer upon signing the contract. The Company retains interest in the land, slash products, and the use of the land for recreational and other purposes. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts to the Company. Revenue is recognized for lump-sum timber sales when payment is received, the contract is signed and control passes to the buyer. A third type of stumpage sale the Company utilizes is an agreed-volume sale, whereby revenue is recognized using the output method, as periodic physical observations are made of the percentage of acreage harvested.

Under the delivered log model, the Company hires third-party loggers and haulers to harvest timber and deliver it to a buyer. Sales of domestic logs generally do not require an initial payment and are made to third-party customers on open credit terms. Sales of export logs generally require a letter of credit from an approved bank. Revenue is recognized when the logs are delivered and control has passed to the buyer. For domestic log sales, control is considered passed to the buyer as the logs are delivered to the customer’s facility. For export log sales (primarily in New Zealand), control is considered passed to the buyer upon delivery onto the export vessel.

Non-timber income is primarily comprised of hunting and recreational licenses. Such income and any related cost are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement and included in “Sales” and “Cost of sales”, respectively. Payment is generally due upon contract execution.

The following table summarizes revenue recognition and general payment terms for timber sales:

Contract Type	Performance Obligation	Timing of Revenue Recognition	General Payment Terms
Stumpage Pay-as-Cut	Right to harvest a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of standing timber	As timber is severed (point-in-time)	Initial payment between 5% and 20% of estimated contract value; collection generally within 10 days of severance
Stumpage Lump Sum	Right to harvest an agreed upon volume of standing timber	Contract execution (point-in-time)	Full payment due upon contract execution
Stumpage Agreed Volume	Right to harvest an agreed upon acreage of standing timber	As timber is severed (over-time)	Payments made throughout contract term at the earlier of a specified harvest percentage or time elapsed
Delivered Wood (Domestic)	Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) of timber to customer’s facility	Upon delivery to customer’s facility (point-in-time)	No initial payment and on open credit terms; collection generally within 30 days of invoice
Delivered Wood (Export)	Delivery of a unit (i.e. ton, MBF, JAS m3) onto export vessel	Upon delivery onto export vessel (point-in-time)	Letter of credit from an approved bank; collection generally within 30 days of delivery

REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR REAL ESTATE SALES

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of real estate generally at the point in time when cash has been received, the sale has closed, and control has passed to the buyer. A deposit of 5% is generally required at the time a purchase and sale agreement is executed, with the balance due at closing. On sales of real estate containing future performance obligations, revenue is recognized using the input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to fulfill the performance obligations in the contract with the customer.

REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR LOG TRADING

Log trading revenue is generally recognized when procured logs are delivered to the buyer and control has passed. For domestic log trading, control is considered passed to the buyer as the logs are delivered to the customer’s facility. For export log trading, control is considered passed to the buyer upon delivery onto the export vessel. The Trading segment also includes sales from log agency contracts, whereby the Company acts as an agent managing export services on behalf of third parties. Revenue for log agency fees are recognized net of related costs.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in accounts receivable and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.

The following tables summarizes revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year:

2018	2017	2018	2017
Revenue recognized from contract liability balance at the beginning of the year (a)	$5,429	$3,809	$11,800	$8,592

(a) Revenue recognized was primarily from hunting licenses and the use of advances on pay-as-cut timber sales.

1. JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

MATARIKI FORESTRY GROUP

The Company maintains a controlling financial interest in Matariki Forestry Group (the “New Zealand JV”), a joint venture that owns or leases approximately 411,000 legal acres of New Zealand timberland. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the New Zealand JV’s balance sheet and results of operations. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand JV’s 23% noncontrolling interest are shown separately within the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the New Zealand JV.

1. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

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 segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the Company does not produce asset information by segment internally.

Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include interest expense, interest and other miscellaneous income

1. HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS

Rayonier continuously assesses potential alternative uses of its timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. The Company periodically transfers, via a sale or contribution from the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. The Company also acquires HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, the Company also selectively pursues various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, Rayonier also invests in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties.

An analysis of higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018 is shown below:

	Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments — Land and Timber		Development Investments		Total

7. COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain buildings, machinery, and equipment under various operating leases. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments.

At June 30, 2018 , the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating leases, timberland leases and other commitments were as follows:

	Operating Leases	Timberland Leases (a)	Commitments (b)	Total
Remaining 2018	$590	$5,689	$7,641	$13,920
2019	1,032	8,873	5,121	15,026
2020	850	8,495	3,403	12,748
2021	736	8,497	1,573	10,806
2022	705	8,260	956	9,921
Thereafter (c)	708	147,321	1,510	149,539
	$4,621	$187,135	$20,204	$211,960

(a) The majority of timberland leases are subject to increases or decreases based on either the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index or market rates.

(b) Commitments include $ 1.7 million of pension contribution requirements remaining in 2018 based on actuarially determined estimates and IRS minimum funding requirements, payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps), construction of the Company’s Wildlight development project and other purchase obligations. For additional information on the pension contribution see Note 15 — Employee Benefit Plans in the 2017 Form 10-K.

(c) Includes 20 years of future minimum payments for perpetual Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”). A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 -year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one -year term. As of June 30, 2018 , the New Zealand JV has three CFL’s under termination notice that are currently being relinquished as harvest activities are concluding, as well as two fixed term CFL’s expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market rental value, with triennial rent reviews.

8. INCOME TAXES

The operations conducted by the Company’s REIT entities are generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The New Zealand JV is subject to corporate level tax in New Zealand. Non-REIT qualifying operations are conducted by the Company’s TRS. The primary businesses performed in Rayonier’s TRS include log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the sale, entitlement and development of HBU properties. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.1 million and $14.0 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.5 million and $13.8 million , respectively.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 21.0% U.S. statutory rate due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The Company’s annualized effective tax rate (“AETR”) as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was 14.5% and 17.3% , respectively. The increase in income tax expense and the decrease in AETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is principally related to the New Zealand JV.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company recognizes the impact of a tax position if a position is “more-likely-than-not” to prevail. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 , there were no material changes in uncertain tax positions.

U.S. TAX REFORM

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017 making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include a permanent reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018 and a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of deferred foreign earnings in 2017.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides additional clarification regarding the application of ASC Topic 740 when registrants do not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act for the reporting period in which the Act was enacted. SAB 118 provides a measurement period beginning in the reporting period that includes the Act’s enactment date and ending when the registrant has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information needed in order to complete the accounting requirements, but in no circumstances should the measurement period extend beyond one year from the enactment date.

The Company has not completed its assessment of the accounting implications of the Act. However, the Company reasonably calculated an estimate of the impact of the Act in the 2017 year end income tax provision and recorded $0.1 million of additional income tax expense as of December 31, 2017. This amount was offset by the Alternative Minimum Tax credit benefit, resulting in a zero net effect to income tax expense. This provisional amount is related to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of deferred foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. The remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the permanent reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate resulted in a provisional amount of zero as the change in rate was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

As the Company completes its analysis of the Act, it may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. No adjustments have been made to the provisional amounts as of the six months ended June 30, 2018. However, any subsequent adjustments to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter the analysis is complete.

The Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries effective January 1, 2018. For the current year, the Company’s REIT entity has a GILTI income inclusion of $1.7 million . The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740 No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. Due to the Company’s REIT status and the corresponding distribution requirement, the Company has neither a deferred tax related to GILTI nor any current tax expense.

1. CONTINGENCIES

Following the Company’s November 10, 2014 earnings release and filing of the restated interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2014, (the “November 2014 Announcement”), on November 26, 2014, December 29, 2014, January 26, 2015, February 13, 2015, and May 12, 2015, the Company received separate letters from shareholders requesting that the Company investigate or pursue derivative claims against certain officers and directors related to the November 2014 Announcement (the “Derivative Claims”). Although these demands do not identify any claims against the Company, the Company has certain obligations to advance expenses and provide indemnification to certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The Company has also incurred expenses as a result of costs arising from the investigation of the claims alleged in the various demands.

Following the Company’s receipt of the Derivative Claims, it entered into a series of tolling agreements with the shareholders from whom it received demands (the “Demand Shareholders”). The last of these tolling agreements ended in March of 2017. On October 13, 2017, one of the Demand Shareholders filed an action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, currently styled Molloy v. Boynton, et al., Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-01157-TJC-MCR (the “Derivative Lawsuit”). The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment and names as defendants former officers, Paul G. Boynton, Hans E. Vanden Noort and N. Lynn Wilson, and former directors, C. David Brown, II, Mark E. Gaumond, James H. Miller, Thomas I. Morgan and Ronald Townsend (the former officers and directors named as defendants are collectively the “Individual Defendants”).

In November 2017, the parties reached an agreement to resolve all claims brought in the Derivative Lawsuit and agreed to negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid to the Demand Shareholders’ counsel, subject to court approval. The parties executed a term sheet on November 27, 2017, and agreed to schedule a mediation regarding the amount of attorneys’ fees and expenses. On November 30, 2017, Rayonier and certain of the Individual Defendants who had been served with the complaint filed an unopposed Motion to Stay or, in the Alternative, to Extend Time to Respond to the Complaint in order to allow the parties time to attempt to resolve the Derivative Lawsuit without further litigation. On December 6, 2017, the Court entered an order staying the case, directing that the case be administratively closed, and ordering the parties to file a joint status report with the Court not later than March 15, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the case was stayed, some of the Individual Defendants had not yet been served, none of the defendants had filed any responsive pleading or dispositive motion, and the Company could not determine whether there was a likelihood a material loss had been incurred nor could the range of any such loss be estimated.

On March 13, 2018, the Demand Shareholders, Rayonier, certain of Rayonier’s directors’ and officers’ insurance carriers, and certain of the Individual Defendants participated in a mediation, at the conclusion of which the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the case and amended the term sheet to memorialize such agreement. On April 17, 2018, Plaintiff filed with the Court Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Derivative Settlement and Memorandum of Legal Authority in Support (“Motion for Preliminary Approval”). The terms of the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) are contained in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Stipulation”), which was attached to the Motion for Preliminary Approval and filed with the Court. The Stipulation, executed by all parties, included the material terms of the term sheet. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, which is subject to Court approval and objections by shareholders, the Company agreed to certain governance reforms and to cause certain of its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carriers to fund a settlement payment for the Demand Shareholders’ attorneys’ fees and expenses as well as incentive awards to the Demand Shareholders in the aggregate amount of $1.995 million . The payments agreed to on March 13, 2018, including the realized amount to be funded by the insurance carriers, were reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018.

The Company has also 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 large deductible insurance plans, primarily in the areas of executive risk, property, automobile and general liability. These pending 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.

The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2018 and 2019 and will be renewed as required.

(b) In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in 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 June 30, 2018 , the Company has a de minimis 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 outstanding claims under the Company’s previous workers’ compensation self-insurance programs in Washington and Florida. Rayonier has also obtained performance bonds to secure the development activity at the Company’s Wildlight development project. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2018 and 2019 and are expected to be renewed as required.

1. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks.

Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the Company’s investment in its New Zealand operations is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s hedge ineffectiveness was de minimis for all periods presented.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE AND OPTION CONTRACTS

The functional currency of Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited, and the New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand JV is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The New Zealand JV typically hedges 35% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases, 25% to 75% of forecasted sales and purchases for the forward three to 12 months and up to 50% of the forward 12 to 18 months. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand JV’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of June 30, 2018 , foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through December 2019 and March 2019, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive income for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings.

Through our ownership in the New Zealand JV, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on shareholder distribution payments which are denominated in N.Z. dollars. On behalf of the Company, the New Zealand JV typically hedges 60% to 100% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months anticipated distributions, up to 75% of anticipated distributions for the forward three to six months and up to 50% of the forward six to 12 months. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the change in fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts of $2.5 million and $ 2.6 million , respectively, was recorded in “ Interest and other miscellaneous income, net ” as the contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of June 30, 2018 , foreign exchange forward contracts had maturity dates through December 2018.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

In March 2018, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange contract (notional amount of NZ $37 million ) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when translating the New Zealand JV’s balance sheet to U.S. dollars. This contract hedged the cash portion of the Company’s net investment in New Zealand and qualified as a net investment hedge. The fair value of this contract was determined by a mark-to-market valuation, which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. This hedge qualified for hedge accounting whereby fluctuations in fair market value during the life of the hedge are recorded in AOCI and remain there permanently unless a partial or full liquidation of the investment is made. At each reporting period, the Company reviews the hedge for ineffectiveness. Ineffectiveness can occur when changes to the investment or the hedged instrument are made such that the risk of foreign exchange movements are no longer mitigated by the hedging instrument. At that time, the amount related to the ineffectiveness of the hedge is recorded into earnings. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness during the life of the hedge. In April 2018, the foreign currency exchange contract matured and the Company repatriated the cash.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on its variable-rate Term Credit Agreement and Incremental Term Loan Agreement (as discussed below), and uses variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, the Company reports the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassifies them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings.

The following table contains information on the outstanding interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2018 :

Outstanding Interest Rate Swaps (a) — Date Entered Into	Term	Notional Amount	Related Debt Facility	Fixed Rate of Swap	Bank Margin on Debt	Total Effective Interest Rate (b)
August 2015	9 years	$170,000	Term Credit Agreement	2.20 %	1.63 %	3.83 %
August 2015	9 years	180,000	Term Credit Agreement	2.35 %	1.63 %	3.98 %
April 2016	10 years	100,000	Incremental Term Loan	1.60 %	1.90 %	3.50 %
April 2016	10 years	100,000	Incremental Term Loan	1.60 %	1.90 %	3.50 %
July 2016	10 years	100,000	Incremental Term Loan	1.26 %	1.90 %	3.16 %

(a) All interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting.

OFFSETTING DERIVATIVES

Derivative financial instruments are presented at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements, which would allow the right of offset.

1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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. (a)

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

Asset (Liability) (a)	June 30, 2018 — Carrying Amount		Fair Value			December 31, 2017 — Carrying Amount		Fair Value
			Level 1	Level 2				Level 1	Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents	$106,611		$106,611	—		$112,653		$112,653	—

(a) The Company did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

(b) Restricted cash represents the proceeds from like-kind exchange sales deposited with a third-party intermediary and cash held in escrow for a real estate sale. See Note 17 — Restricted Cash for additional information.

(c) The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of capitalized debt costs on non-revolving debt.

(d) See Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Consolidated Balance Sheets classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

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. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.

Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

1. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Both plans are closed to new participants. Effective December 31, 2016, the Company froze benefits for all employees participating in the pension plan. In lieu of the pension plan, the Company provides those employees with an enhanced 401(k) plan match. 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.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has paid $1.2 million of the approximately $2.9 million in current year mandatory pension contribution requirements (based on actuarially determined estimates and IRS minimum funding requirements).

The net pension and postretirement benefit (credit) costs that have been recorded are shown in the following table:

Components of Net Periodic Benefit (Credit) Cost	Income Statement Location (a)	Pension				Postretirement
		Three Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,

Net periodic benefit (credit) cost		($120	)	($28	)	$29	$29

(a) Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-07, the service cost component of net periodic benefit (credit) cost is now recorded to “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income with other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of losses) are now recorded to “ Interest and other miscellaneous income, net ” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information.

(b) The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in computing 2018 net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits is 7.2% .

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had $69.6 million and $59.7 million , respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash which were deposited with an LKE intermediary as well as cash held in escrow for a real estate sale.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”)

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 Consolidated Financial Statements of Rayonier Inc. included in Item 1 of this report.

This 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 our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”) and information contained in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes, including Rayonier’s earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook, expected dividend rate, Rayonier’s business strategies, including expected harvest schedules, timberland acquisitions and dispositions, the anticipated benefits of Rayonier’s business strategies, and other similar statements relating to Rayonier’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, 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,” “intend,” “project,” “anticipate” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in the 2017 Form 10-K and similar discussions included in other reports that we subsequently file with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and those expressed in forward-looking statements 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 subsequent disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

To supplement Rayonier’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Rayonier uses certain non-GAAP measures, including “cash available for distribution,” and “Adjusted EBITDA,” which are defined and further explained in Performance and Liquidity Indicators below. Reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measures can also be found in Performance and Liquidity Indicators below. Rayonier’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

OUR COMPANY

We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with assets located in some of the most productive softwood timber growing regions in the United States and New Zealand. Our revenues, operating income and cash flows are primarily derived from the following core business segments: Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber, Real Estate and Trading. As of June 30, 2018 , we owned or leased under long-term agreements approximately 2.6 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. South (1.8 million acres) and U.S. Pacific Northwest (378,000 acres). We also have a 77% ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (the “New Zealand JV”), that owns or leases approximately 411,000 acres (294,000 net plantable acres) of timberlands in New Zealand.

The Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber segments include all activities related to the harvesting of timber and other non-timber income activities, such as the licensing of properties for hunting and the leasing of properties for mineral extraction and cell towers. The New Zealand Timber segment also reflects any land or leasehold sales that occur within our New Zealand portfolio.

The Real Estate segment includes all U.S. land sales disaggregated into five sales categories: Improved Development, Unimproved Development, Rural, Non-Strategic / Timberlands and Large Dispositions.

The Trading segment reflects the log trading activities that support our New Zealand operations. The Trading segment complements the New Zealand Timber segment by adding scale and achieving cost savings that directly benefit the New Zealand Timber segment. Trading also generally contributes modestly to earnings without significant investment and provides market intelligence that benefits the timber business.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET CONDITIONS

The demand for timber is directly related to the underlying demand for pulp, paper, packaging, lumber and other wood products. The significant majority of timber sold in our Southern Timber segment is consumed domestically. With a higher proportion of pulpwood, our Southern Timber segment relies heavily on downstream markets for pulp and paper, and to a lesser extent wood pellet markets. Our Pacific Northwest Timber segment relies primarily on domestic customers but also exports a significant volume of timber, particularly to China. Both the Southern and Pacific Northwest Timber segments rely on the strength of U.S. lumber markets as well as underlying housing starts. Our New Zealand Timber segment sells timber to domestic New Zealand wood products mills and also exports a significant portion of its volume to markets in China, South Korea and India. In addition to market dynamics in the Pacific Rim, the New Zealand Timber segment is subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which can impact the operating results of the segment in U.S. dollar terms.

The Company is also subject to the risk of price fluctuations in its major cost components. The primary components of the Company's cost of sales are the cost basis of timber sold (depletion), the cost basis of real estate sold and logging and transportation costs (cut and haul). Depletion includes the amortization of capitalized costs (site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, timberland lease payments and certain payroll costs). Other costs include amortization of capitalized costs related to road and bridge construction and software, depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes, fire prevention and real estate commissions and closing costs.

For additional information on market conditions impacting our business, see Results of Operations .

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. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Note 2 — Revenue contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a discussion of the Company’s updated accounting policies on revenue recognition and cost of sales. 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 2017 Form 10-K.

SOUTHERN TIMBER

Second quarter sales of $48.0 million (which included pipeline easements of $5.8 million) increased $12.5 million , or 35% , versus the prior year period . Harvest volumes increased 10% to 1.49 million tons versus 1.36 million tons in the prior year period , primarily due to incremental volume from acquisitions coupled with stronger overall demand. Average pine sawtimber stumpage prices increased 2% to $26.23 per ton versus $25.66 per ton in the prior year period driven by stronger demand, particularly in coastal markets. Average pine pulpwood stumpage prices increased 3% to $16.05 per ton versus $15.62 per ton in the prior year period , as the prior year period was negatively impacted by salvage timber volume from the West Mims fire. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) were relatively flat at $19.27 per ton versus $19.25 per ton in the prior year period , as modest price increases were offset by changes in mix. Operating income of $15.7 million increased $6.0 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes ( $1.4 million ), higher non-timber income ( $6.2 million ), lower costs ( $0.2 million ) and lower franchise taxes ( $0.1 million ), which were partially offset by higher depletion rates ( $1.9 million ). Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $30.6 million was $9.0 million above the prior year period .

Year-to-date sales of $91.6 million increased $16.9 million , or 23% , versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 12% to 3.1 million tons versus 2.7 million tons in the prior year period, primarily due to incremental volume from acquisitions coupled with stronger overall demand. Average pine sawtimber stumpage prices increased 1% to $26.27 per ton versus $26.01 per ton in the prior year period, while average pine pulpwood stumpage prices remained roughly flat at $16.59 per ton versus $16.50 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber prices was primarily due to export demand from China. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) remained roughly flat at $19.80 per ton versus to $19.83 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $27.9 million increased $4.3 million versus the prior year period due to higher non-timber income ( $5.0 million ) and higher volumes ( $3.4 million ), which were partially offset by lower prices ($0.1) million , higher depletion rates ( $3.7 million ) and higher costs ( $0.3 million ). Adjusted EBTIDA of $58.8 million was $10.7 million above the prior year period.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST TIMBER

Second quarter sales of $32.2 million increased $11.7 million , or 58% , versus the prior year period . Harvest volumes increased 36% to 374,000 tons versus 275,000 tons in the prior year period , as we pulled forward some volume to take advantage of favorable market conditions. Average delivered sawtimber prices increased 26% to $103.38 per ton versus $81.93 per ton in the prior year period , while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 26% to $49.76 per ton versus $39.38 per ton in the prior year period . The increase in average sawtimber and pulpwood prices was due to strong demand from both domestic and export markets. Operating income of $5.6 million increased $7.1 million relative to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the prior year period due to higher prices ( $6.7 million ), volume/mix changes ( $0.3 million ) and lower depletion rates ( $0.2 million ), which were partially offset by higher costs ( $0.1 million ). Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $15.0 million was $9.5 million above the prior year period .

Year-to-date sales of $63.6 million increased $17.2 million , or 37% , versus the prior year period . Harvest volumes increased 12% to 753,000 tons versus 674,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices increased 27% to $99.24 per ton versus $78.08 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices increased 22% to $47.49 per ton versus $39.03 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber and pulpwood prices was due to strong demand from both domestic and export markets. Operating income of $10.3 million increased $12.7 million relative to an operating loss of $2.4 million in the prior year period due to higher prices ( $11.9 million ), lower costs ( $0.4 million ), higher volume ( $0.3 million ) and lower depletion rates ( $0.4 million ), which were partially offset by lower non-timber income ( $0.3 million ). Adjusted EBITDA of $29.2 million was $14.3 million above the prior year period.

NEW ZEALAND TIMBER

Second quarter sales of $69.7 million decreased $7.7 million , or 10% , versus the prior year period as the prior year period included $24.3 million of timberland sales. Excluding these timberland sales, sales for the quarter increased $16.6 million, or 31%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 20% to 738,000 tons versus 616,000 tons in the prior year period , driven primarily by the timing of export shipments and incremental volume from prior year acquisitions. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 9% to $120.80 per ton versus $111.05 per ton in the prior year period , while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 9% to $86.21 per ton versus $79.04 per ton in the prior year period . The increase in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to stronger demand from China. The increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven by increased demand tension between export markets and local sawmills as well as a modest rise in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US $0.71 per NZ$1.00 versus US $0.70 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 7% from the prior year period . Operating income of $17.8 million decreased $9.0 million versus the prior year period due to lower timberland sales ( $14.8 million ), higher road maintenance costs ( $0.9 million ) and higher depletion rates ( $0.1 million ), which were partially offset by higher volumes ( $3.4 million ), higher prices ( $1.6 million ), favorable foreign exchange impacts ($1.3 million), higher carbon sales ( $0.3 million ) and other non-timber income ( $0.2 million ). Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $25.8 million was $16.5 million below the prior year period .

Year-to-date sales of $122.6 million increased $4.4 million , or 4% , versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes increased 16% to 1.3 million tons versus 1.1 million tons in the prior year period, driven primarily by incremental volume from prior year acquisitions. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 9% to $119.51 per ton versus $110.10 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 10% to $86.57 per ton versus $78.76 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in export sawtimber was primarily due to stronger demand from China. The increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven by increased demand tension between export markets and local sawmills. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 8% from the prior year period. Operating income of $33.7 million decreased $3.3 million versus the prior year period due to lower income from timberland sales ($14.8 million), higher costs ( $1.2 million ) and the prior year receipt of a timber damage settlement ( $0.4 million ), partially offset by higher volume ( $5.0 million ), higher prices ( $4.4 million ), higher non-timber income ( $2.5 million ), favorable foreign exchange impacts ( $1.2 million ) and lower depletion rates ( $0.2 million ).

REAL ESTATE

Second quarter sales of $49.9 million increased $24.3 million versus the prior year period , while operating income of $18.9 million increased $2.8 million versus the prior year period due to a higher number of acres sold ( 15,804 acres sold versus 7,592 acres sold in the prior year period ), partially offset by a decrease in weighted-average prices ( $3,153 per acre versus $3,411 per acre in the prior year period ). Improved Development closings of $1.3 million in the Wildlight development project included 2.0 acres of commercial property for $0.7 million ($351,000 per acre) and 12 residential lots for $0.6 million ($52,000 per lot or $287,000 per acre). Rural sales of $4.8 million were comprised of 1,071 acres at an average price of $4,509 per acre. This compares to prior year second quarter sales of $5.5 million , comprised of 1,728 acres at an average price of $3,178 per acre. Non-strategic / Timberland sales of $43.7 million were comprised of 14,729 acres at an average price of $2,966 per acre, including a sale of 14,447 acres in Louisiana for $2,988 per acre. This compares to prior year second quarter sales of $17.5 million , comprised of 5,733 acres primarily in Florida at an average price of $3,050 per acre. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $45.9 million was $24.4 million above the prior year period .

Year-to-date sales of $85.9 million increased $6.0 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $46.9 million increased $1.1 million versus the prior year period. Prior period year-to-date sales and operating income include $42.0 million and $28.2 million, respectively, from Large Dispositions in 2017. Sales and operating income increased in the first six months due to higher weighted average prices ( $3,575 per acre versus $2,069 per acre in the

prior year period), partially offset by lower volumes ( 24,029 acres sold versus 38,753 acres sold in the prior year period). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $78.7 million increased $48.6 million above the prior year period.

TRADING

Second quarter sales of $46.2 million increased $4.2 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes and prices. Sales volumes increased 2% to 395,000 tons versus 386,000 tons in the prior year period . Average prices increased 8% to $116.47 per ton versus $108.06 per ton in the prior year period primarily due to stronger demand from China. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million decreased $0.9 million versus the prior year period due to higher costs associated with port congestion.

Year-to-date sales of $85.4 million increased $9.4 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes and prices. Sales volumes increased 4% to 736,000 tons versus 708,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices increased 8% to $115.61 per ton versus $106.86 per ton in the prior year period primarily due to stronger demand from China. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million decreased $1.9 million versus the prior year period due to lower trading margins resulting from increased competition for log supply coupled with higher log yard and port costs due to port congestion and vessel timing.

OTHER ITEMS

CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSE/ELIMINATIONS

Second quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $6.5 million increased $1.2 million versus the prior year period due to higher stock-based compensation and other benefits expense ($0.5 million), higher depreciation expense ( $0.2 million ) and a reduction in overhead costs allocated to operating segments ($0.5 million).

Year-to-date corporate and other operating expense of $10.5 million increased $0.4 million versus the prior year period due to a reduction in overhead costs allocated to operating segments ($0.8 million), higher stock-based compensation and other benefits expense ($0.4 million) and higher depreciation expense ( $0.4 million ), partially offset by lower costs related to shareholder litigation ( $0.7 million ) and income from the sale of unused Internet Protocol addresses ($0.6 million).

Costs related to shareholder litigation in the prior year period include expenses incurred as a result of the now-concluded securities litigation and the shareholder derivative demands. For additional information related to the securities litigation, see Note 10—Contingencies of Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information on the shareholder derivative demands, see Note 9 — Contingencies .

INTEREST EXPENSE

Second quarter interest expense of $8.1 million decreased $0.5 million versus the prior year period . Year-to-date interest expense of $16.2 million decreased $0.9 million versus the prior year period. The decrease in second quarter and year-to-date interest expense was due to lower average debt.

NON-OPERATING INCOME

Second quarter and year-to-date non-operating income of $2.9 million and $3.5 million , respectively, includes unrealized gains on foreign currency derivatives used to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates with respect to anticipated distributions from the New Zealand JV and interest income.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Second quarter income tax expense of $7.1 million decreased $0.4 million versus the prior year period. Year-to-date income tax expense of $14.0 million increased $0.3 million versus the prior year period. The New Zealand JV is the primary driver of income tax expense.

OUTLOOK

Based on our solid first half results and our expectations for the balance of the year, we now anticipate full-year net income attributable to Rayonier of $82 to $89 million , EPS of $0.63 to $0.68 and Adjusted EBITDA of $300 to $315 million . We expect to achieve our prior full-year volume guidance in each of our three timber segments, although we anticipate lower volumes in the second half of the year relative to the first half of the year, primarily due to elevated first half harvest levels in response to strong market conditions. We continue to expect that overall pricing in the Southern Timber segment will be relatively flat, as price increases in certain regions will generally be offset by the geographic mix of harvest volumes. In the Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect a relatively stable pricing environment driven by continued strong domestic market conditions, although we expect a modest decline in our weighted-average prices based on product mix. In the New Zealand Timber segment, we expect some softening in export prices, primarily due to market uncertainty resulting from the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. While we believe that fundamental export market conditions remain favorable, we are continuing to monitor the trade dispute between the U.S. and China and the potential impacts on our business. In our Real Estate segment, we expect very light activity in the third and fourth quarters following extraordinarily strong first and second quarters, as the timing of closings was heavily weighted to the first half of the year.

(a) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, non-operating income and expense, costs related to shareholder litigation and Large Dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to make strategic decisions about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of cash is cash flow from operations, primarily the harvesting of timber and sales of real estate. As a REIT, our main use of cash is dividends. We also use cash to maintain the productivity of our timberlands through replanting and silviculture. Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flow and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund working capital needs while acquisitions of timberlands generally require funding from external sources or asset dispositions.

Table of Contents

(a) Total debt as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is presented gross of deferred financing costs of $2.7 million and $3.0 million , respectively.

(b) Enterprise value is calculated as the number of shares outstanding multiplied by the Company’s share price plus net debt as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

CASH FLOWS

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30 , 2018 and 2017 .

(millions of dollars)	2018		2017
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$181.6		$128.3
Investing activities (a)	(61.5	)	(235.2	)
Financing activities	(115.6	)	95.7

(a) Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown and therefore changes in restricted cash are no longer reported as investing activities. Prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period presentation.

CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash provided by operating activities increased $53.3 million primarily due to higher operating results.

CASH USED FOR INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash used for investing activities decreased $173.6 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreases in timberland acquisitions ( $206.0 million ), spending on the construction of the Company’s office building ( $5.6 million ), capital expenditures ( $3.9 million ) and real estate development investments ( $1.1 million ). These activities were offset by a decrease in net proceeds from Large Dispositions ( $42.0 million ) and other investing activities of $0.9 million .

CASH USED FOR FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash used for financing activities increased $211.3 million from the prior year period primarily due to decreases in equity issuances ( $147.8 million ), an increase in net debt repayments ( $56.3 million ) and an increase in dividends paid ( $4.2 million ) and shares repurchased ( $3.0 million ).

EXPECTED 2018 EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures in 2018 are expected to be between $65 and $69 million, excluding any strategic timberland acquisitions we may make. Capital expenditures are expected to be comprised primarily of seedling planting, fertilization and other silvicultural activities, property taxes, lease payments, allocated overhead and other capitalized costs. Aside from capital expenditures, we may also acquire timberland as we actively evaluate acquisition opportunities.

Real estate development investments in 2018 are expected to be between $10 and $12 million, net of anticipated reimbursements from community development bonds. Expected real estate development investments are primarily related to Wildlight, our mixed-use community development project located north of Jacksonville, Florida at the interchange of I-95 and State Road A1A.

Our 2018 dividend payments are expected to be approximately $137 million assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.27 per share or material changes in the number of shares outstanding.

Future share repurchases, if any, will depend on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow, as well as general market conditions and other considerations including capital allocation priorities.

We have approximately $2.9 million of mandatory pension contribution requirements in 2018 and may make discretionary contributions in the future.

Cash tax payments in 2018 are expected to be approximately $2.1 million, primarily due to the New Zealand JV.

PERFORMANCE AND LIQUIDITY INDICATORS

52

Table of Contents

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: Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above.

Management uses CAD as a liquidity measure. CAD is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to measure cash generated during a period that is available for common stock dividends, distributions to the New Zealand minority shareholder, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction, strategic acquisitions and real estate development investments. We define CAD as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding timberland acquisitions and spending on the Company’s office building) and working capital and other balance sheet changes. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to make strategic decisions about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, non-operating income and expense, costs related to shareholder litigation and Large Dispositions. Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the now-concluded securities class action litigation and the shareholder derivative demands. For additional information related to the securities litigation, see Note 10 — Contingencies of Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information on the shareholder derivative demands, see Note 9 — Contingencies .

We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income for the consolidated Company and to Operating Income for the segments, as those are the most comparable GAAP measures for each. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended June 30, — 2018		2017	Six Months Ended June 30, — 2018		2017

Large Dispositions (a)	—		—	—		(28.2	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$111.3		$86.8	$204.6		$144.0

(a) Large Dispositions are defined as transactions involving the sale of timberland that exceed $20 million in size and do not have a demonstrable premium relative to timberland value. In January 2017, the Company completed a disposition of approximately 25,000 acres located in Alabama for a sale price and gain of approximately $42.0 million and $28.2 million , respectively.

LIQUIDITY FACILITIES

2018 DEBT ACTIVITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made a repayment of $50.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company had available borrowings of $189.6 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $10.4 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit.

In addition, the New Zealand JV made borrowings and repayments of $1.0 million on its working capital facility. As of June 30, 2018 , draws totaling NZ $40.0 million remain available on the working capital facility. The New Zealand JV also fully repaid its shareholder loan held by the noncontrolling interest party during the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We utilize off-balance sheet arrangements to provide credit support for certain suppliers and vendors in case of their default on critical obligations, and collateral for outstanding claims under the Company’s previous workers’ compensation self-insurance programs. These arrangements consist of standby letters of credit and surety bonds. As part of our ongoing operations, we also periodically issue guarantees to third parties. Off-balance sheet arrangements are not considered a source of liquidity or capital resources and do not expose us to material risks or material unfavorable financial impacts. See Note 10 — Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of June 30, 2018 .

CONTRACTUAL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

In addition to using cash flow from operations and proceeds from Large Dispositions, we finance our operations through the issuance of debt and by entering into leases. These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transaction, with the result that some are recorded as liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while others are required to be disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The following table aggregates our contractual financial obligations as of June 30, 2018 and anticipated cash spending by period:

Contractual Financial Obligations (in millions)	Total	Payments Due by Period — Remaining 2018	2019-2020	2021-2022	Thereafter

(a) The book value of long-term debt, net of deferred financing costs, is currently recorded at $972.3 million on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, but upon maturity the liability will be $975.0 million.

(b) Projected interest payments for variable rate debt were calculated based on outstanding principal amounts and interest rates as of June 30, 2018 .

(c) Commitments — derivatives represents payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps). See Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities .

(d) Commitments — other includes $1.7 million of pension contribution requirements remaining in 2018 based on actuarially determined estimates and IRS minimum funding requirements, payments expected to be made on the Company’s Wildlight development project and other purchase obligations. For additional information on the pension contribution see Note 15 — Employee Benefit Plans in the 2017 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market risks. We use derivatives in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Derivatives are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our variable rate debt, primarily due to changes in LIBOR. However, we use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our term credit agreements by swapping existing and anticipated future borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. As of June 30, 2018 we had $650 million of U.S. long-term variable rate debt. The notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap contracts at June 30, 2018 was $650 million. The term credit agreement and associated interest rate swaps mature in August 2024 and the incremental term loan agreement and associated interest rate swaps mature in May 2026. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in no corresponding increase/decrease in interest payments and expense over a 12-month period.

The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is also subject to interest rate risk. The estimated fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt at June 30, 2018 was $324 million compared to the $325 million principal amount. We use interest rates of debt with similar terms and maturities to estimate the fair value of our debt. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in prevailing interest rates at June 30, 2018 would result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt of approximately $11 million.

Table of Contents

We estimate the periodic effective interest rate on U.S. long-term fixed and variable rate debt to be approximately 3.3% after consideration of interest rate swaps and estimated patronage refunds, excluding unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facility.

The following table summarizes our outstanding debt, interest rate swaps and average interest rates, by year of expected maturity and their fair values at June 30, 2018:

(a) Excludes estimated patronage refunds.

(b) Interest rates as of June 30, 2018 .

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. Through these operations and our ownership in the New Zealand JV, we are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash held in foreign currencies, shareholder distributions which are denominated in U.S. dollars and on foreign export sales and ocean freight payments that are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. To mitigate these risks, the New Zealand JV routinely enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of the New Zealand JV’s foreign exchange exposure.

Sales and Expense Exposure

At June 30, 2018 , the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of $134 million ($1 million on behalf of suppliers) and foreign currency option contracts with a notional amount of $24 million outstanding related to foreign export sales and ocean freight payments. The amount hedged represents a portion of forecast U.S. dollar denominated export timber and log trading sales proceeds over the next 18 months and next 3 months, respectively.

Shareholder Distributions

At June 30, 2018 , the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of NZ$50 million representing a portion of anticipated shareholder distribution payments over the next 12 months.

Net Investment

In March 2018, we entered into a foreign currency exchange contract with a notional amount of NZ$37 million to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations on the cash portion of the Company’s net investment in New Zealand. The foreign currency exchange contract matured April 2018 and the cash was repatriated. For additional information regarding our derivative balances and activity, see Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities .

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 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 or submitted 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 the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018 .

In the quarter ended June 30, 2018 , based upon the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, 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.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

In February 2016, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of Rayonier’s common shares (the “share repurchase program”) to be made at management’s and the Board of Directors’ discretion. The program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no shares repurchased under this program in the second quarter of 2018 and there was $99.3 million, or approximately 2,566,824 shares based on the period end closing stock price of $38.69, available for repurchase as of June 30, 2018 .

In 1996, we began a common share repurchase program (the “1996 anti-dilutive program”) to minimize the dilutive effect of our employee incentive stock plans on earnings per share. This program limits the number of shares that may be purchased each year to the greater of 1.5% of outstanding shares at the beginning of the year or the number of incentive shares issued to employees during the year. In October 2000, July 2003 and October 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of additional shares in the program totaling 2.1 million shares. The 1996 anti-dilutive program does not have an expiration date. There were no shares purchased under this program in the second quarter of 2018 and there were 3,869,621 shares available for purchase at June 30, 2018 .

The following table provides information regarding our purchases of Rayonier common shares during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 :

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (a)	Average Price Paid per Share	Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (b)
April 1 to April 30	80,158	36.77	—	6,436,445
May 1 to May 31	14	37.36	—	6,436,445
June 1 to June 30	—	—	—	6,436,445
Total	80,172		—

(a) Includes 80,172 shares of the Company’s common shares purchased in April, May and June from current and former employees in non-open market transactions. The shares were sold by current and former employees of the Company in exchange for cash that was used to pay withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards and performance share awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan. The price per share surrendered is based on the closing price of the company’s common shares on the respective vesting dates of the awards.

(b) Maximum number of shares authorized to be purchased as of June 30, 2018 include 3,869,621 under the 1996 anti-dilutive program and approximately 2,566,824 under the share repurchase program.
