All figures in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted
Acadian Timber Corp. ("Acadian" or the "Company") (TSX:ADN)
today reported financial and operating results(1) for the three
months ended December 31, 2012 (the "fourth quarter").
For the fourth quarter of 2012, Acadian generated net sales of
$18.4 million on sales volume of 327 thousand m3, which represents
a $3.3 million, or 22%, increase in net sales compared to the same
period in 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012
was $1.3 million higher than in the fourth quarter of 2011, and
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 28% from 25% in the same period
of last year. The increase in margin is attributed to higher
contributions to fixed costs resulting from increased sales
volume.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, Acadian generated net
sales of $68.8 million on sales volume of 1,304 thousand m3 as
compared to net sales of $66.2 million on sales volume of 1,293
thousand m3 in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA of $16.5 million during the
year ended December 31, 2012 is $1.0 million higher than the prior
year.
"Acadian benefitted from strong demand and pricing for its
hardwood pulpwood and average selling prices for spruce fir sawlogs
remained robust in Acadian's Maine operations," said Reid Carter,
Chief Executive Officer of Acadian.

Despite weak markets for softwood pulp and pine sawlogs,
Acadian's New Brunswick operations performed very well in the
fourth quarter with strong production and sales. This strong
performance was further supported by increased harvest levels at
Acadian's higher margin Maine operations which benefited from
improved summer and fall weather compared to the prior year along
with improved harvesting and hauling contractor availability.

Softwood, hardwood and biomass shipments were 97 thousand m3,
102 thousand m3 and 39 thousand m3, respectively, during the fourth
quarter. This represents a year-over-year increase in sales volume
of 23 thousand m3 or 11%. Approximately 42% of sales volume was
sold as sawlogs, 42% as pulpwood and 16% as biomass in the fourth
quarter. This compares to 39% of sales volume sold as sawlogs, 35%
as pulpwood and 26% as biomass in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net sales for the fourth quarter totaled $13.7 million compared
to $11.3 million for the same period last year. This was primarily
the result of the increase in sales volume as harvest activities in
the fourth quarter of the prior year were constrained to bring the
annual harvest in line with LRSY after having increased harvesting
in the first three quarters of 2011 to capture market
opportunities. The increase in other sales reflects lower operating
and road maintenance costs on the lands operated under Acadian's
timberland management services agreement. The weighted average log
selling price was $56 per m3 in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 3%
decrease from $58 per m3 in the same period of 2011.
Costs for the fourth quarter were $9.7 million, compared to $8.0
million in the same period in 2011. This is attributable to higher
volumes sold and increased hauling costs as a lower proportion of
sales were from log sort yards.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $4.0 million,
compared to $3.3 million in the same period in 2011. Adjusted
EBITDA margin was unchanged from the prior year at 29% as modest
per unit variable cost increases and declines in average log
selling prices were offset by higher contributions to fixed costs
as a result of increased sales volume.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, NB Timberlands experienced
two reportable incidents among employees and no reportable
incidents among contractors.

Softwood, hardwood and biomass shipments were 58 thousand m3, 24
thousand m3, and 8 thousand m3, respectively, during the fourth
quarter. This represents a year-over-year increase in sales volume
of 20 thousand m3 or 29%. Approximately 51% of sales volume was
sold as sawlogs, 41% as pulpwood and 8% as biomass during the
fourth quarter. This compares to 57% of sales volume sold as
sawlogs, 40% as pulpwood and 3% as biomass in the fourth quarter of
2011.
Net sales for the fourth quarter totaled $4.7 million compared
to $3.9 million for the same period last year. The improvement was
primarily the result of increased sales volume resulting from
improved fall weather compared to the prior year along with
improved harvesting and hauling contractor availability. The
weighted average log selling price was $56 per m3 in the fourth
quarter of 2012, unchanged from $56 per m3 in the same period of
2011 in Canadian dollar terms. Weighted average log selling prices
increased 2% in U.S. dollar terms during the fourth quarter.
Costs for the fourth quarter were $3.3 million, compared to $3.0
million during the same period in 2011. This increase reflects
higher sales volume mostly offset by a 10% decrease in total costs
per m3.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $1.4 million,
compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2011, while
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 23% to 29%.
There were no recordable safety incident among employees and two
reportable incidents among contractors during the fourth quarter of
2012.
Market Outlook
The following Market Outlook contains forward-looking statements
about Acadian Timber Corp.'s market outlook for fiscal 2013.
Reference should be made to the "Forward-looking Statements"
section of this news release. For a description of material factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements in the following, please see the Risk
Factors section of our management's discussion and analysis of
Acadian's most recent Annual Report and Annual Information Form
available on our website at www.acadiantimber.com or filed with
SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Seasonally adjusted annualized U.S. housing starts of 954
thousand in December 2012 were 37% above year-ago levels while
permits were up 29% year-over-year. For the year, housing starts
climbed 28% to 780 thousand from 609 thousand in 2011 and
inventories of new homes available for sale remain near 50-year
record lows. U.S. home pricing has clearly moved off the early 2012
bottom with the most recent Case-Schiller 20-City Home Price Index
showing a national increase of 5.5% year-over-year while the most
recent statistics from CoreLogic show home prices nationwide,
including distressed sales, moved up 7.4% year-over-year. This
represents the biggest increase since May 2006 and the ninth
consecutive increase in home prices nationally year-over-year.
Management believes the recovery of home prices removes a major
psychological impediment to home buyers standing on the sidelines
and should support increased rates of household formation.
Additionally, mortgage rates remain at record lows and housing
affordability is at near-record highs with mortgage underwriting
standards becoming more accommodative. While the consensus forecast
is somewhat of a moving target and risks to the forecasts are
expected to be on the upside, it appears a reasonable collection of
estimates is now projecting 925,000 housing starts for 2013, 1.15
million in 2014 and 1.42 million in 2015 - levels expected to
result in very strong markets for timber aimed at solid wood
products markets. In addition, Acadian's move to a new pricing
mechanism under the fibre supply agreement with one of its major
customers at the beginning of 2013 is expected to result in
spruce-fir sawlog pricing becoming a better reflection of market in
our New Brunswick operations.
Global pulp markets bottomed in the third quarter with strong
demand late in the fourth quarter bringing markets into balance.
Although pulp price increases have been announced for January and
February 2013, we expect producers to have limited ability to move
prices up from their current levels owing to ample global capacity.
Acadian's pulpwood customers, however, continue to have high
operating rates and markets for Acadian's hardwood pulpwood
continue to be strong. Markets for softwood pulpwood, a relatively
minor product for Acadian, remain adequate.
Markets for hardwood sawlogs and specialty products improved
slightly or were stable through 2012 with a similar outlook for
2013. Demand for biomass is expected to be stable, but at low price
levels, owing to continued low electricity prices and very low
prices for natural gas.
"While there may be volatility, we expect 2013 to be an exciting
year in the wood products industry. Acadian's adeptness in
identifying and accessing market opportunities will ensure returns
from all opportunities that arise are maximized in what is expected
to be the first full year of recovery for the industry since the
economic downturn in 2008," concluded Mr. Carter.
Quarterly Dividend
Acadian is pleased to announce a dividend of $0.20625 per share,
payable on April 15, 2013 to shareholders of record on March 29,
2013.

(1) This news release makes reference to Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow
which are key performance measures in evaluating Acadian's operations
and are important in enhancing investors' understanding of Acadian's
operating performance. Acadian's management defines Adjusted EBITDA as
earnings before interest, taxes, fair value adjustments, unrealized
exchange gain/loss on debt, depreciation and amortization. As these
performance measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), they may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. As a
result, we have provided in this news release reconciliations of net
income, as determined in accordance with IFRS, to Adjusted EBITDA and
free cash flow.
