PotlatchDeltic Corporation (Nasdaq: PCH) today reported net
income of $3.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, on revenues of
$255.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Net income
was $23.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, on revenues of
$265.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Excluding
an after-tax gain on insurance recoveries, adjusted net income was
$11.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the third quarter of
2023.
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Generated Total Adjusted EBITDDA of $45.9 million and Total
Adjusted EBITDDA margin of 18%
- Completed construction on the Waldo, Arkansas sawmill expansion
and modernization project
- Repurchased 57,000 shares for $2.4 million, or $42 per
share
- Maintained strong liquidity of $460 million as of September 30,
2024
“During the third quarter, our businesses delivered solid
operational performance while navigating a challenging lumber
market as well as the broader economic environment,” said Eric
Cremers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, our
Wood Products division achieved a significant milestone with the
successful completion of the construction phase of our Waldo,
Arkansas sawmill expansion and modernization project. We believe
this strategic investment positions the Waldo mill to be a top
quartile sawmill, enabling it to generate an additional $25 million
of Adjusted EBITDDA annually under a mid-cycle sales environment
once the mill reaches its new capacity output. As for capital
allocation, we will continue to be disciplined stewards of our
shareholders’ capital and remain focused on returning capital to
shareholders while prioritizing the long-term value for our shares.
Looking forward, we believe that lumber markets are stabilizing as
supply and demand in the industry continue to align. We are also
optimistic that reductions in interest rates will serve as a
catalyst, creating positive momentum in the housing and repair and
remodel markets, thereby driving demand in our business,” stated
Mr. Cremers.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes certain financial measures that are
not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP
measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financial
statements, provide useful information to investors and other
interested parties as described below. The presentation of these
non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as
supplemental to, are not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial
measures may not be the same as or comparable to other similarly
titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies due to
potential inconsistencies in methods of calculation.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per
Diluted Share are non-GAAP measures that represent GAAP net income
(loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share before certain
items, net of tax, that management believes impact the ability to
compare the performance of our business, either period-over-period
or with other businesses.
Total Adjusted EBITDDA and Total Adjusted EBITDDA Margin are
non-GAAP measures that remove the impact of specific items that
management believes do not directly reflect the core business
operations on an ongoing basis and can be used to evaluate the
operational performance of assets under management.
We define Total Adjusted EBITDDA Margin as Total Adjusted
EBITDDA divided by Revenues.
Reconciliations of Total Adjusted EBITDDA, Adjusted Net Income
(Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share to their
most comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the accompanying
“Non-GAAP Reconciliations” at the end of this release.
