CatchMark Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Results, Declares Dividend, and Provides 2021 Guidance→
ATLANTA, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CTT) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2020 results. The company also declared a cash dividend of $0.135 per share for its common stockholders of record as of February 26, 2021, payable on March 15, 2021.
Brian M. Davis, CatchMark's Chief Executive Officer, said: "Despite unprecedented pandemic-related business disruptions and economic turbulence, CatchMark exceeded our full-year 2020 guidance, benefiting from a very strong fourth quarter in our core operations, securing premium timber sale prices substantially above market averages, realizing higher annual harvest volumes and completing higher-than-targeted timberland sales. Our resilient business model, based on investments in prime timberlands in leading mill markets and superior management, has proved out again through a difficult year for the U.S. economy, keeping us on the front-end to meet customer demand. During the year, we exceeded key performance metrics, maintained healthy liquidity and stable leverage, and we effectively managed our debt capital, while making significant progress in furthering our long-term strategic objectives. Most importantly, we continued to deliver fully-covered quarterly dividends.
"For the year ahead, we are particularly encouraged by momentum in housing markets, which has been sustained through the recent problematic economy and bodes well post-COVID-19. A sustained elevated housing market should ultimately support product pricing, especially given our significant stake in leading U.S. South mill markets, which are steadily gaining market share as a result of increased mill capacity with higher operating rates by historical standards."
FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
The following table summarizes the current quarter and comparable prior year period results:

Business Segments Overview
A strong fourth quarter generated total revenues, net loss and Adjusted EBITDA favorable to both plan and prior year, primarily due to higher net timber sales, timberland sales and asset management fee revenue and lower losses from the unconsolidated Triple T joint venture.

Steadily increasing U.S. housing starts and home renovations helped boost fourth quarter results as CatchMark's harvest plans were geared to capitalize on strong mill demand for sawtimber and an improved pricing environment in the Pacific Northwest. Timber sales revenue and Harvest EBITDA were comparable to prior year as increased harvests and pricing in the Pacific Northwest helped offset anticipated decreases in U.S. South harvest volumes and pricing.
Todd P. Reitz, CatchMark's Chief Resources Officer, said: "The strong fourth quarter was ultimately driven by heightened housing demand. We capitalized on mill demand and a better pricing environment in the Pacific Northwest, generating an outsized quarter compared to prior year. Lumber order files remained robust, which in turn allowed mills to run wide-open, only taking downtime around the holidays. We expect the positive trends for log prices and revenues in the Pacific Northwest to continue in coming quarters and to register further gains in the U.S. South as new mill projects come on-line in and around our micro-markets."
U.S. South Activity:
- As planned, fourth quarter harvest volume held steady with third quarter levels and was 12% lower year-over-year. After weather-related delays early in 2019, CatchMark had increased harvests in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. Overall, 2020 harvest levels were more consistent quarter-to-quarter, resulting in the comparatively lower year-over-year fourth quarter results.
- CatchMark's pulpwood and sawtimber pricing continued to hold substantial premiums — 46% and 18% respectively — over weighted TimberMart-South U.S. South-wide stumpage prices.
Pacific Northwest Activity:
- CatchMark results were boosted by demand from sawmills with depleted inventories after third quarter forest fires led to temporary logging shutdowns across the region.
- The strong domestic housing market and competition from exporters further amplified demand for timber and increased log pricing.
- Harvest volume nearly doubled over fourth quarter 2019 levels and CatchMark's sawtimber price increased by 36% in the Pacific Northwest.

Timberland Sales: During the fourth quarter, CatchMark completed sales deferred earlier in the year due to pandemic-related delays and capitalized on new opportunities.
- CatchMark sold 4,000 acres for $6.8 million compared to 3,200 acres for $5.0 million in fourth quarter 2019.
- The transactions captured a 5% increase in the per-acre sales price — $1,662 in fourth quarter 2020 compared to $1,588 in fourth quarter 2019 — and consisted of tracts with lower average total merchantable timber stocking.
- The improved margins — 19% in fourth quarter 2020 versus 10% in fourth quarter 2019 — resulted from selling tracts with a lower cost basis due to a longer average hold period and lower average merchantable timber stocking.
Acquisitions and Large Dispositions: No acquisitions or large dispositions occurred during the fourth quarter.

Asset management fee revenue increased due to the amendment to the Triple T joint venture's asset management agreement completed in the second quarter 2020. As expected, Investment Management EBITDA decreased slightly due to lower EBITDA generated by Dawsonville Bluffs since the successful liquidation of the joint venture's timberland holdings in 2019.
Triple T Joint Venture: Triple T's harvest operations, benefiting from the renegotiated wood supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific, exceeded underwriting during the quarter.

CatchMark generated full-year 2020 timber sales of $72.3 million, comparable to full-year 2019 results, overcoming challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, hurricane-related wet weather conditions and Pacific Northwest wildfires occurring during the year:
- CatchMark's delivered wood model — which accounts for 78% of its timber sales in U.S. South and 98% in the Pacific Northwest — helped control the supply chain, producing more stable cash flows with greater visibility, while enabling advantageous stumpage sales opportunities.
- The homebuilding recovery and strong demand for pulp-related products continuing through the pandemic helped support consistent harvest volume flow in CatchMark's mill markets.
- Total harvest volume increased 3% to 2.32 million tons and net timber revenue and Harvest EBITDA increased 2% due to higher volumes, lower cut and haul costs, and increased pricing in the Pacific Northwest where CatchMark avoided any adverse impact of regional wildfires to its holdings and capitalized on favorable supply/demand fundamentals.
- Sawtimber increased to 43% of total harvest volume, driven by fully integrated Pacific Northwest operations.
U.S. South Activity: CatchMark capitalized on opportunistic stumpage sales throughout the year, including sales to key customers outside of existing supply agreements, to temper lower net pricing.
- Net timber revenue decreased 6% compared to full-year 2019, resulting from a 7% decrease in blended pricing offset by a 1% increase in harvest volume.
- Realized stumpage prices for pulpwood and sawtimber registered premiums of 49% and 20%, respectively, above TMS South-wide market averages.
- Sawtimber mix (40%) held steady despite curtailed sawmill activity at the start of the pandemic.
Pacific Northwest Activity:
- Net timber revenue of $5.7 million, more than doubled 2019 results, driven by an 80% increase in harvest volume and reflecting CatchMark's fully-integrated regional operations.
- Delivered wood sales boosted results — 98% of timber sales were delivered sales at pricing 18% above 2019 levels contributing to net timber revenue gains.
- Strong fourth-quarter regional demand was fueled by increased housing starts, lack of finished lumber in the supply chain, and reduced mill inventories caused by temporary shutdowns mandated by local authorities during third-quarter wildfire outbreaks.

Real Estate EBITDA | $ | 14.7 | $ | 16.6 | $ | (1.9) | (11) | % | ||||||
Timberland Sales: Timberland sales exceeded the upper-end of guidance with improved margins compared to 2019.
- CatchMark sold 9,300 acres for $15.6 million during 2020 compared to 9,200 acres for $17.6 million during 2019.
- The lower per-acre sales price — $1,689 in 2020 versus $1,920 in 2019 — resulted from selling tracts with lower average merchantable timber stocking.
- The improved margins — 21% in 2020 versus 14% in 2019 — resulted from selling tracts with a lower cost basis due to a longer average hold period and lower average merchantable timber stocking.
Large Dispositions and Acquisitions:
- As part of its capital recycling program, CatchMark sold 14,400 acres in Georgia for $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, generating a $1.3 million gain, and used $20.9 million of net proceeds to pay down outstanding debt.
- The sold acres consisted of fringe tracts with lower-than-average stocking, targeted mostly for stumpage sales.
- No acquisitions were completed during the year, consistent with our capital allocation priorities.
Investment Management

Investment Management EBITDA | $ | 12.6 | $ | 16.7 | $ | (4.1) | (25) | % | ||||||
Asset management fee revenue increased as a result of the amendment to the management agreement with Triple T completed in June 2020, offset by an expected decrease in fees earned from Dawsonville Bluffs. Investment Management EBITDA decreased from prior year due to the effective winddown of the successful Dawsonville Bluffs joint venture in 2019.
- The management agreement between CatchMark and Triple T, amended in connection with Triple T's renegotiated wood supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific, is expected to increase asset management fee revenues from Triple T through mid-year 2022.
- CatchMark received $0.7 million in distributions from Dawsonville Bluffs and recognized $0.1 million in incentive-based promotes for Dawsonville Bluff's performance exceeding investment hurdles.
Triple T Joint Venture: Triple T harvest operations exceeded its underwriting and generated positive net cash flow from operating activities. The successful renegotiation of the Georgia-Pacific wood supply agreement paves the way for generating improved joint venture performance going forward as well as enhancing long-term asset value. The renegotiated wood supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific allows for market-based pricing on timber sales, increases reimbursement for extended haul distances, permits selling sawtimber to other third parties, and expands opportunities to sell large timberland parcels to third parties. By extending the Georgia-Pacific supply agreement by two years to 2031, Triple T's harvest volume obligations can be further optimized to enhance and preserve long-term asset value.
CAPITAL POSITION AND SHARE REPURCHASES
Capital recycling, renegotiated financial covenants and reduced unused commitment fees helped strengthen CatchMark's capital position during the year as the company:
- Completed $21.3 million in capital recycling through a large disposition, realizing $1.3 million in gains and paying down debt by $20.9 million while enhancing portfolio average stocking and core operating areas.
- Maintained healthy liquidity — $162.9 million of liquidity at year-end consisting of $115.9 million under the multi-draw term facility, $35.0 million under the revolving credit facility and $12.0 million of cash on-hand at December 31, 2020.
- Removed certain restrictive financial covenants providing increased working capital under credit facilities and lowered unused commitment fees.
- Maintained a stable leverage profile with net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA in-line with the company's average since IPO.
Share Repurchases: No share repurchases occurred under the share repurchase program during the fourth quarter. During the year, CatchMark repurchased 304,719 shares for a total of $2.0 million under its share repurchase program. CatchMark had approximately $13.7 million remaining in the program for future repurchases as of December 31, 2020.
Ursula Godoy-Arbelaez, CatchMark's Chief Financial Officer, said: "Capital recycling, credit agreement amendments and an active interest-rate risk management strategy combined to put CatchMark in a strong liquidity and capital position for meeting 2020's challenges as well as positioning the company for the anticipated economic recovery. In the meantime, we will continue to remain rigorous and thoughtful in our capital allocation priorities — healthy liquidity, ample working capital, continued debt repayment, disciplined acquisitions and opportunistic share repurchases — with a focus and commitment to delivering our quarterly dividend."
2021 GUIDANCE
For full-year 2021, CatchMark projects a GAAP net loss of between $6 million and $10 million with no expected additional losses from Triple T. The company anticipates its Adjusted EBITDA will register between $43 million and $50 million, consistent with 2020 guidance. Harvest volumes are forecast between 2.0 million and 2.2 million tons, reflecting consistent annual productivity on a per-acre basis. Harvests are expected to increase during each of the first three quarters with fourth quarter volume approximating the average of the first three quarters. Approximately 95% of forecasted harvest volumes will be derived from the U.S. South region with a sawtimber mix of between 40% and 45% from the U.S. South and between 85% and 90% from the Pacific Northwest. Asset management fee revenue is projected at approximately $12 million and timberland sales targets of $13 million to $15 million remain around 2% of fee acreage.
Davis said: "We anticipate continuing to meet our strategic goals during the year ahead, focused on continuing to deliver stable and predictable cash flow, sustaining our industry leading metrics for high productivity per acre, maintaining good liquidity, positioning the company for transformative opportunities through capital recycling, and most importantly generating a fully-covered dividend. We expect the favorable long-term outlook for housing and a more normalized, post-pandemic economy to help support demand fundamentals and to benefit from ongoing mill market expansion in and around our prime U.S. South timberland assets."

(1) | 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. |
(2) | 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. |
(3) | Reflects our share of depletion, amortization, and basis of timberland and mitigation credits sold of the unconsolidated Dawsonville Bluffs joint venture. |
(4) | Includes non-cash basis of timber and timberland assets written-off related to timberland sold, terminations of timberland leases and casualty losses. |
(5) | Large dispositions are sales of blocks of timberland properties in one or several transactions with the objective to generate proceeds to fund capital allocation priorities. Large dispositions may or may not have a higher or better use than timber production or result in a price premium above the land's timber production value. Such dispositions are infrequent in nature, are not part of core operations, and would cause material variances in comparative results if not reported separately. |
(6) | Reflects HLBV (income) losses from the Triple T joint venture, which is determined based on apothetical liquidation of the underlying joint venture at book value as of the reporting date. |
(7) | Reflects one-time, non-recurring post-employment benefits associated with the retirement of our former CEO, including severance pay, payroll taxes, professional fees, and accrued dividend equivalents. |
(8) | 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. |
