Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain 2014 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including changes in balance sheet presentation. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified seeds and seedlings from Inventory and Other Assets to Timber and Timberlands, Net to better reflect the intended use of the assets. Rayonier also reclassified long-term higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands and real estate development costs from Other Assets to a separate balance sheet caption. These adjustments are reflected in the June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Corresponding changes have also been made to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for both periods presented. Certain 2014 amounts have also been adjusted for reclassification of discontinued operations. Rayonier completed the spin-off of its Performance Fibers business on June 27, 2014. Accordingly, the operating results of this business segment are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the prior-year period. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Performance Fibers business that remained with Rayonier are reported in continuing operations. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 has not been restated to exclude Performance Fibers cash flows. See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business.
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that 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. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new standard, with an option for organizations to adopt early based on the original effective date. This standard will be effective for Rayonier beginning January 1, 2018 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 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the Balance Sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2015-03 in the Company’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015–07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU No. 2015–07 requires that investments for which the fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient (investments in funds measured at NAV) under “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Topic 820) be excluded from the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2015–07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2015–07 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2015–07 in the Company’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Quarterly Dividend On July 20, 2015, the Company announced a third quarter dividend of 25 cents per share payable September 30, 2015, to shareholders of record on September 16, 2015. Debt Refinancing and Recapitalization of New Zealand JV See Note 15 — Debt for discussion of debt refinancing and planned recapitalization of the Company’s New Zealand joint venture.
Interest Expense Allocated to Discontinued Operations | In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-S99-3, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, the Company elected to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations where the debt is not directly attributed to the Performance Fibers business. Interest expense has been allocated based on a ratio of net assets to be discontinued to the sum of consolidated net assets plus consolidated debt (other than debt directly attributable to the Timber and Real Estate operations).
Segment Reporting | Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value. Intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Asset information is not reported by segment, as the company does not produce asset information by segment internally. Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.
Derivatives | Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the Company’s investment in New Zealand is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings.
Derivatives, Offsetting Fair Value Amounts | Derivative financial instruments are presented at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements, which would allow the right of offset.
Fair Value | The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Consolidation Financial Statements | The condensed consolidating financial information below follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation, and the allocation of certain expenses of Rayonier Inc. incurred for the benefit of its subsidiaries.
