CatchMark Completes $100 Million Sale of Oregon Timberlands to Roseburg Resources Co. (8/11/21)

Increases Net Income Guidance

ATLANTA, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CTT) today announced that it had completed the sale of 18,063 acres of prime Oregon timberlands – known as the Bandon property – for $100 million in cash, or approximately $5,536 per acre, to Roseburg Resources Co. The property had been purchased in August 2018 for $88.8 million or $4,916 per acre.

The company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $23 million. CatchMark increased its guidance for full-year net income to a range of $13 to $17 million to reflect the sale but has not made any other adjustments to its full year 2021 guidance. CatchMark had harvested approximately 80% of its targeted full-year 2021 volume for the Bandon property by transaction close.

CatchMark Chief Executive Officer Brian M. Davis said: "Coming off an exceptionally strong second quarter when we generated record revenues, cash from operations, and Adjusted EBITDA and our second highest quarter of net income, this disposition demonstrates our ability to execute accretive capital recycling transactions and further strengthens CatchMark's capital position. It also allows us to concentrate our activities in the U.S. South where we have a very robust operations platform and see the greatest opportunity for future growth. Most of the sale proceeds will be used to pay down existing debt. Our simple strategy remains focused on investing in prime timberlands in the nation's leading mill markets, employing delivered wood sales as well as opportunistic stumpage sales to provide predictable and stable cash flow, help cover our dividend, and create long-term shareholder value."

AFM Real Estate acted as CatchMark's broker for the transaction.

CatchMark's Triple T Joint Venture and Georgia-Pacific Amend Wood Supply Agreement (6/24/20)

ATLANTA, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CTT) announced today that its Triple T joint venture has amended its wood supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific WFS LLC (Georgia-Pacific) intended to achieve market-based pricing on timber sales. CatchMark invests in 1.1 million acres of prime East Texas timberlands through Triple T and acts as the general partner of the venture on behalf of a consortium of institutional investors.

Under the amended supply agreement, Triple T also will be able to increase reimbursement for extended haul distances, sell timber to other third parties, and expand its ability to sell large timberland parcels to third party buyers. The supply agreement between Triple T and Georgia-Pacific has also been extended by two years from 2029 to 2031, with optimized harvest volume obligations to enhance and preserve long-term asset value. For these amendments to the agreement, Triple T paid Georgia-Pacific $145 million.

CatchMark Chief Executive Officer Brian Davis said: "We expect this agreement with Georgia-Pacific to result in increased returns for all Triple T investors, including CatchMark, over the life of the joint venture. We expect these amendments to increase cash flows from timber sales at market-based prices based on customary pricing mechanisms, improve the value and marketability of the property for the long-term, and significantly enhance Triple T's ability to make opportunistic timberland sales as well as recapitalize our investment."

"Georgia-Pacific Building Products appreciates the partnership we have with Triple T," said Tim Chatlos, a spokesperson for Georgia-Pacific. "This agreement creates value for both our companies and allows us to continue our partnership into the future."

John Rasor, President of Triple T, said: "Georgia-Pacific has been and continues to be integral to the success of Triple T and we appreciate how they worked with us to achieve this mutually beneficial agreement."

Rasor added: "Our operations can now realize the full potential of Triple T's premier timberland holdings to optimize future cash flow and value. In particular, a rapidly improving inventory profile will result in enhanced harvest opportunities now with greater revenue growth."

In connection with the Georgia-Pacific agreement, CatchMark also reported making an amendment to the Triple T joint venture agreement with its institutional partners to increase its asset management fee for the next two years, reflecting the impact of the Georgia-Pacific payment on the timberland investment. This amendment is immediately CAD accretive to CatchMark.

In July 2018, CatchMark invested $200 million in forming Triple T, which acquired the East Texas timberlands, subject to the Georgia-Pacific supply agreement, for approximately $1.39 billion. Its Triple T partners include BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, Highland Capital Management, Medley Management Inc., and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation.

The Triple T joint venture made the acquisition, intending to amend the Georgia-Pacific supply agreement and maximize asset value. The timberlands feature a rapidly improving inventory profile and above-average site index. The original transaction has met all operating benchmarks to date.

Perella Weinberg Partners LP advised Triple T in the transaction.

In Separate Transactions, CatchMark Agrees to Acquire 18,063 acres of Prime Oregon Timberlands; Also Agrees to Sell 56,000-acre Southwest Region Portfolio, Retaining 370,000 Tons of Merchantable Inventory (8/22/18)

ATLANTA, Aug. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In the company's first Pacific Northwest transaction, CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE : CTT ) announced today an agreement to acquire 18,063 acres of prime Oregon timberlands for $88.8 million from Forest Investment Associates (FIA). The to-be-acquired timberlands — known as the Bandon Property — are strategically situated within the Douglas fir/western hemlock zone between the Coos Bay markets and Roseburg mills approximately 150 miles southwest of Portland.

Separately, CatchMark announced an agreement to sell 56,000 acres of timberlands in Texas and Louisiana — the Southwest Region — to FIA for $78.5 million. CatchMark will retain approximately 370,000 tons of merchantable inventory (52% sawtimber/48% pulpwood) to be harvested over the next 18-24 months. The per-acre sales price is $1,533 when including the timber reservations.

Together, these transactions will optimize CatchMark's portfolio diversity with the company's entry into the Pacific Northwest, improve annual timber sales revenue by approximately $1.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA (excluding land sales) by approximately $2.5 million annually over the next five years, and support the company's capital structure on a leverage-neutral basis.

Bandon features the high-quality stocking characteristics and sustainability attributes CatchMark seeks in expanding its timberland investments:

- Merchantable stocking of 4.2 MMBF/gross acre (32 tons/acre) provides a five-year average harvest of 10.3 MMBF per year (79,000 tons per year).

- Merchantable inventory of 87% commercial conifers, including 77% Douglas fir compared to a 65%-70% regional average.

- A strong balance of merchantable timber and pre-merchantable acres helps ensure long-term sustainability.

- More than 90% of the expected five-year average harvest volume will be derived from sawtimber.

- Exposure to a highly desirable wood basket with tight supply-demand dynamics and both domestic and international market exposure.

Jerry Barag, CatchMark's President and CEO, said: "The Bandon investment is an attractive pure-play timber purchase, driven by long-term harvest yields in an exceptionally strong and dynamic market. The acquisition establishes CatchMark's foothold in the Pacific Northwest, while increasing our market diversity and providing additional harvest options. The Southwest Region sale follows our 1.1 million-acre Triple T joint venture investment in prime East Texas timberlands and will reduce our regional exposure while strengthening our capital position to enable further growth. Taken together these transactions diversify CatchMark's revenue streams and markets through effective recycling and deployment of capital."

The Southwest Region portfolio, located across several counties in East Texas and western Louisiana, was acquired by CatchMark in four separate transactions during 2014 and 2015. The property is comprised of 79% pine and 21% hardwood by acres and 1.8 million tons of merchantable inventory, consisting of 51% sawtimber and 49% pulpwood. After accounting for the timber reservation, the completed disposition would decrease the company's average annual harvest volume by approximately 134,000 tons over the next five years.

CatchMark will fund the Bandon purchase, which is projected to close by the end of August, from a combination of cash on hand and borrowing under an amended credit facility expected to close in advance of the Bandon purchase. The amended facility increases total capacity by $75 million; right-sizes its multi-draw term loan to $200 million; and adds a new seven-year $140 million term loan to refinance existing debt under the multi-draw term loan. Including the pricing on the new term loan set to LIBOR + 1.7%, the all-in cost of debt (net of estimated patronage) is expected to be approximately 3.4%, based on the company's current leverage ratio, pricing grid, and floating/fixed debt mix. The Southwest Region transaction is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter with proceeds going to repay debt.

Property management at Bandon will be handled by American Forest Management, which also manages CatchMark operations in the Carolinas and CatchMark's log/accounting settlement system.

The projected annual net financial impact of the Bandon Property acquisition and the Southwest Region disposition is presented below:

CatchMark President and CEO Jerry Barag presented at the REITWeek: 2018 Investor Conference in NYC on 6/05/18.

Barag said the land was previously owned by Temple-Inland and sold to private equity about ten years ago.

I owned Temple-Inland back in 2007. Carl Icahn, who owned 8 percent of the company, urged the board to sell off assets. Campbell Group paid $2.38 billion for 1.55 million acres - about $1,535 per acre. As a result of the sale, shareholders received a $1.1 billion dividend.

CTT and its partners are now paying $1,264 per acre for land previously sold for $1,535 acre. This is a distressed sale.

Barag told the audience that the property is being acquired at a 30 to 35 discount to normal market prices today. The property has issues. The biggest issue is the that land has been “generally over-harvested” during the past ten years, which means the income potential is expected to be “severely impaired” over the next four to five years. The other investors in the partnership will pay an asset management fee to CTT to replace its income loss on the property over the next five years.

CatchMark Led Partnership Completes $1.39 Billion Acquisition of 1.1 Million Acres of Prime East Texas Timberlands (7/09/18)

ATLANTA, July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CTT) announced today the completion of its previously announced acquisition of 1.1 million acres of prime East Texas timberlands for approximately $1.39 billion in a joint venture with a consortium of institutional investors, including BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, Highland Capital Management, Medley Management Inc., and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation. The property was sold by Campbell Global, on behalf of the institutional owners of the property, in one of the largest U.S. timberlands transactions of the past decade. The joint venture — operating as Triple T Timberlands — is a CatchMark-managed affiliate.

Jerry Barag, CatchMark's President and CEO, said: "Building off our existing East Texas presence, we intend to move quickly and efficiently to integrate operations under CatchMark with our former chief operating officer John Rasor, who became President of Triple T upon closing. Our intention is to maximize value for our stockholders and partners by executing on a carefully designed operations plan and implementing best management practices."

For an investment of $200 million, CatchMark has tripled the number of acres under its control and management to approximately 1.6 million acres and significantly expanded its fee-based asset management business. The innovative transaction fits CatchMark's profile for acquiring interests in properties which can provide sustainable growth for its stockholders. The acquired timberlands have a highly productive site index and are projected to grow from the current 2.8 million tons of annual harvest volume to more than five million tons by 2028.

Forest Resource Consultants and American Forest Management are performing land management and accounting functions, respectively, on the Triple T Timberlands properties as they do at other CatchMark-owned properties.

Raymond James acted as financial advisor to CatchMark in the transaction; Alston & Bird LLP and Smith Gambrell & Russell, LLP served as legal advisors to CatchMark. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Proskauer Rose LLP served as legal advisors to the group of institutional investors.
