Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments, except for a cumulative out-of-period adjustment for depletion expense - See Note 3 — Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K on Form 10-K/A (the “Amended Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC. Reclassifications Certain 2013 amounts and amounts previously reported in 2014 have been reclassified to agree with the current presentation, including reclassifications for discontinued operations. Rayonier completed the spin-off of its Performance Fibers business on June 27, 2014 and completed the sale of its Wood Products business on March 1, 2013. Accordingly, the operating results of these business segments are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the businesses that remained with Rayonier are reported in continuing operations. The December 31, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheet reports historical information and includes balances for all businesses as reported in the prior year. The September 30, 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheet reports only continuing operations and reflects the contribution of approximately $1.2 billion of assets, net, and corresponding liabilities and equity to Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (“Rayonier Advanced Materials”) in connection with the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for both 2014 and 2013 have not been restated to exclude Performance Fibers or Wood Products cash flows. Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 also reflect transactions related to the Performance Fibers spin-off, including borrowings to arrange the capital structure prior to the separation, proceeds received upon the spin-off and the use of proceeds to pay down debt and pay a special dividend. See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business and sale of the Wood Products business. New Accounting Standards In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, to provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is a substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If conditions or events raise substantial doubts about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, related footnote disclosures are required. This standard will be effective for Rayonier’s 2016 Form 10-K filing. It is not expected that the standard will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized and will require enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for Rayonier beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The standard requires a disposal of a component of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if it represents a strategic shift with a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. It also removes requirements related to the evaluation of the component’s effect on ongoing operations and the entity’s continuing involvement with the component. Additional disclosures about discontinued operations are also required under this standard. ASU No. 2014-08 is required to be applied prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning December 15, 2014. As the Company has not elected early adoption, this standard will be effective for Rayonier’s first quarter 2015 Form 10-Q filing. It is not expected that the standard will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued, and one subsequent event was identified that warranted disclosure. On November 7, 2014, the Board of Directors approved a fourth quarter cash dividend of 25 cents per common share. The dividend is payable on December 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on December 17, 2014.
