ATLANTA, May 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE:
CTT) today reported first quarter 2022 results. The company
also declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per share for its common stockholders of
record as of May 31, 2022, payable on
June 15, 2022.
Brian M. Davis, CatchMark
President and CEO, said: "First quarter results again demonstrated
how CatchMark's prime timberlands located in select leading U.S.
South mill markets continue to deliver superior pricing for our
harvests well above market averages while also registering
significant year-over-year growth. For the full year, we expect to
achieve sawtimber pricing of approximately 20% over 2021 as demand
for new housing remains strong even in a higher interest rate
environment. Retail land sales also contributed to our strong
quarterly results, capturing excellent pricing for acreage with
stocking and productivity characteristics below our portfolio
averages. At the same time, our small-tract acquisition program has
gained traction, benefiting from our improved balance sheet and
strong liquidity position, and focusing on markets where our local
presence gives us an advantage in finding good value."

First quarter 2022 net income of $3.2
million resulted primarily from substantially higher net
timber sales pricing, profits on timberland sales, and lower
interest expense.
- Higher year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from
increased net timberland sales and higher net timber sales
pricing.
- Revenues decreased slightly, down 3%, primarily due to lower
year-over-year timber sales revenues, down 12%, resulting
principally from reduced harvest volumes related to the disposition
of the Bandon timberlands in the Pacific Northwest completed in
third quarter 2021.
- CatchMark's operations — now concentrated entirely in
the U.S. South, the nation's leading timber basket — again achieved
significant increases in net timber sales prices and prices well
above U.S. South-wide averages. These pricing advantages helped
lessen the revenue impact of planned lower harvest volumes.

- Timber sales revenue decreased year-over-year as a result of
the exit from the Pacific Northwest in August 2021, offset by a $2.5 million increase in timber sales revenue
from the U.S. South.
- In the U.S. South, where CatchMark now operates exclusively,
timber sales revenue of $17.7 million
was 17% higher year-over-year, despite a planned 2% decrease in
harvest volumes.
- Harvest EBITDA increased 8% due to higher pricing and lower
forestry management and other operating expenses, offset by lower
volumes.
- Net timber sales prices for pulpwood and sawtimber were 8% and
30% higher, respectively, than first quarter 2021 and registered
37% and 47% premiums, respectively, over TimberMart-South
South-wide averages.
- Harvest productivity on an annualized per-acre basis held
steady.
Todd Reitz, CatchMark's Chief
Resources Officer, said: "CatchMark continues to benefit from our
prime timberlands located in premier U.S. South mill markets.
Strong demand for all products and low raw material inventories
during the quarter kept pricing tension high and we capitalized on
the opportunity, registering significant delivered and stumpage
sales pricing increases. Successful negotiations with many of our
customers supported delivered price increases and helped offset
rising cut and haul costs, allowing us to maintain stumpage
margins. Strong macro-demand fundamentals continue to drive mill
production needs and pricing for chip-n-saw and pine sawtimber
products should remain strong into the second quarter."

- Timberland sales revenue increased 81% year-over-year from
selling significantly more acres as compared to the same period
last year. As expected, in the first quarter, we completed
approximately 35% to 40% of our annual timberland sales target.
CatchMark continued to generate strong relative pricing on
below-portfolio quality assets, evidence of the robust retail
demand for rural recreational land. The acres sold during the
quarter had a substantially lower average merchantable timber
stocking than the company portfolio average.
- CatchMark sold 3,400 acres of timberlands with a cost basis of
$4.0 million for $6.1 million compared to first quarter 2021 when
the company sold 1,800 acres with a cost basis of $1.9 million for $3.4
million.
- The 8% lower year-over-year timberland sales price per acre was
due to lower productivity characteristics, including a
significantly lower percentage of upland pine plantation and
significantly lower pine stocking.

- Asset management fees decreased as a result of exiting the
Triple T joint venture in 2021. The fees recognized from Triple T
in the first quarter of 2022 were paid under a transition services
agreement which expired in March
2022.
- Investment Management EBITDA decreased primarily due to a
$0.9 million decrease in asset
management fees and a $0.1 million
decrease in Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Dawsonville Bluffs
joint venture.
- CatchMark recognized $0.5 million
of income and $0.6 million of
Investment Management EBITDA from Dawsonville Bluffs and received
$0.1 million in operating
distributions from the joint venture, which continued to capitalize
on strong demand for wetlands mitigation credits.
ACCRETIVE ACQUISITIONS
After the quarter's close, CatchMark entered into two separate
purchase and sale agreements to acquire more than 2,400 acres of
high-quality timberlands in Alabama and South
Carolina for approximately $5 million
dollars.
- The acquisitions will be funded with cash on-hand and are
expected to close by early third quarter.
- The properties are located within existing CatchMark operating
footprints in leading U.S. South mill markets where the company can
serve existing mill customers and gain efficiencies with
contractors.
- The transactions fit the company's acquisition target
objectives with long-term portfolio accretive attributes.
Davis said: "These timberlands have characteristics that feature
a high allocation of pine plantations and good value compared to
our underwriting metrics. We will continue to be deliberate and
prudent in identifying acquisitions, whether under our small-tract
program or larger acquisition strategy."
CAPITAL POSITION AND SHARE REPURCHASES
Ample Liquidity:
- CatchMark continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and
ample liquidity, including $27.4
million of cash on-hand, with no changes in its credit
facilities during the quarter.
- As of March 31, 2022, the company
had $253.6 million of borrowing
capacity remaining under its credit facilities.
CatchMark's Chief Financial Officer Ursula Godoy-Arbelaez said: "During the quarter,
company leverage remained low and debt capital remained available
and attractively priced despite the rising interest rate
environment, which we have hedged against. The company's solid
capital position allows us to move forward with our acquisition
growth strategy, which we expect will gain further momentum over
the course of the year."
Covered Quarterly Dividend: Stockholders
received a total of $3.6 million in dividend distributions, which
were fully covered by net cash provided by operating activities and
Cash Available for Distribution.
Share Repurchases: The company did not make
any share repurchases during the quarter and had $13.7 million remaining under its share
repurchase program as of March 31,
2022.

For the purpose of the
above reconciliation, amortization includes amortization of
deferred financing costs, amortization of operating lease assets
and liabilities, amortization of intangible lease assets, and
amortization of mainline road costs, which are included in either
interest expense, land rent expense, or other operating expenses in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Includes
non-cash basis of timber and timberland assets written-off related
to timberland sold, terminations of timberland leases and casualty
losses.

Reflects one-time,

retirement of our former CEO, including severance pay, payroll
taxes, professional fees, and accrued dividend

|
(5)
|
Includes certain cash
expenses paid, or reimbursement received, that management believes
do not directly reflect the core business operations of our
timberland portfolio on an on-going basis, including costs required
to be expensed by GAAP related to acquisitions, transactions, joint
ventures or new business initiatives.
|

Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. EBITDA is
defined by the SEC as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization; however, we have excluded certain other expenses
which we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating
results of our timberland portfolio, and we refer to this measure
as Adjusted EBITDA. As such, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Due to the significant amount of timber assets subject
to depletion, significant income (losses) from unconsolidated joint
ventures based on hypothetical liquidation book value, or HLBV, and
the significant amount of financing subject to interest and
amortization expense, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an
important measure of our financial performance. By providing this
non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation above,
we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our
business and our ongoing results of operations, as well as
assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our
strategic initiatives. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are
significant components in understanding and assessing financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating
performance that does not represent and should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for net income,
cash flow from operations, or other financial statement data
presented in accordance with GAAP in our consolidated financial
statements as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP.

Distribution (CAD) is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is
calculated as cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for
capital expenditures (excluding timberland acquisitions), working
capital changes, cash distributions from unconsolidated joint
ventures and certain cash expenditures that management believes do
not directly reflect the core business operations of our timberland
portfolio on an on-going basis, including costs required to be
expensed by GAAP related to acquisitions, transactions, joint
ventures or new business activities.
