NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

1. | 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 (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) 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 year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC (the “2015 Form 10-K”).
Reclassifications
Certain 2015 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including changes in balance sheet presentation. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified capitalized debt costs related to non-revolving debt from Other Assets to Long Term Debt as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-50) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. This reclassification is reflected in the September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets. A corresponding change has also been made to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for both periods presented.
New Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. This Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU No. 2016-15 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 in the Company’s first quarter 2017 Form 10-Q. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU No. 2016-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Rayonier intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-05 in the Company’s first quarter 2017 Form 10-Q and does not expect it will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. ASU No. 2016-02 also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2016-02 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)
In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. 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 August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 provides 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. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The update clarifies the guidance for identifying performance obligations. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU. No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The update clarifies the guidance for assessing collectibility, presenting sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition and disclosing the accounting change in the period of adoption. 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 and has completed a preliminary analysis of the specific impacts to our Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber and Real Estate segments.
Subsequent Events
Disposition of 37,000 acres of Gulf states timberland
On October 21, 2016, the Company completed two separate transactions for the sale of 37,000 acres of timberland in Alabama and Mississippi for $77.8 million. The basis in these properties were classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016. See Note 18 — Assets Held For Sale for additional information.

2. | TIMBERLAND ACQUISITION

Menasha Acquisition
The Company and Forest Investment Associates (“FIA”) formed Olympus Acquisition Company (“Olympus”) to acquire all the outstanding common stock of Menasha Forest Products Corporation (“Menasha”), a privately held company with approximately 132,000 acres of timberland located in Oregon and Washington (the “Menasha Acquisition”).
On May 10, 2016 (the “acquisition date”), essentially all of the net assets of Olympus were distributed to the Company and FIA, resulting in the Company owning an identified portfolio of 61,000 acres of the former Menasha timberland for a final purchase price of approximately $263 million.
Business Combination Accounting
The distribution of net assets from Olympus to Rayonier has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company has been recorded to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. In determining the fair value of the timberlands, the Company utilized valuation methodologies including a discounted cash flow analysis. A sales comparison approach was utilized to determine the fair market value of property, plant and equipment. The carrying values for current assets and liabilities were deemed to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Rayonier’s share of acquisition costs of $1.3 million is included in “Other operating income, net.”
As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not completed its final accounting related to this acquisition. As a result, preliminary estimates have been recorded and are subject to change. Any necessary adjustments from the preliminary estimates will be finalized as soon as practicable but within one year from the date of acquisition. Measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date.

The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its valuations related to the following: Timber and timberlands, Property, plant and equipment, Other current and non-current assets and Other current and non-current liabilities.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

| May 10, 2016
Timber and timberlands (a) |  | $263,073 |
Property, plant and equipment | 1,554 |
Other current and non-current assets | 280 |
Total identifiable assets acquired | 264,907 |
Other current and non-current liabilities | 1,503 |
Total liabilities assumed | 1,503 |
Net identifiable assets (purchase price) |  | $263,404 |

(a) | Timber and timberlands include $0.8 million of seeds and seedlings.

Operating Results and Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The net income effect resulting from the Menasha acquisition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is impracticable to determine, as the Company immediately integrated Menasha into its ongoing operations. Additionally, pro forma information has not been provided, as the portion of Menasha acquired was a component of a larger legal entity and separate historical financial statements were not prepared. Since stand-alone financial information prior to the acquisition was not readily available, compilation of such data is impracticable.
Washington Disposition
In May 2016, the Company completed a disposition of approximately 55,000 acres located in Washington to FIA (the “Washington disposition”) for a sale price of approximately $130 million. The proceeds received from the disposition were used to finance a portion of the Menasha Acquisition. The remainder of the acquisition was financed by entering into an incremental term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions to provide a 10-year, $300 million incremental term loan. See Note 5 — Debt for additional information.

3. | JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

Matariki Forestry Group
On March 3, 2016, the Company made a capital contribution into Matariki Forestry Group (the "New Zealand JV"), a joint venture that owns or leases approximately 0.4 million legal acres of New Zealand timberlands, for the purpose of refinancing approximately NZ$235 million of New Zealand JV indebtedness and paying related fees and expenses, including the costs of settling out-of-the-money interest rate swaps. As a result of the capital contribution, the Company's ownership interest in the New Zealand JV increased from 65% to 77%. As a result of the increase in ownership percentage, the pro-rata share of the New Zealand JV’s unrealized foreign currency and cash flow hedge losses were reallocated between the Company and the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-45-24, this reallocation resulted in a reduction to the common share balance. The Company maintains a controlling financial interest in the New Zealand JV and, accordingly, consolidates the New Zealand JV’s Balance Sheet and results of operations. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand JV’s 23% noncontrolling interest are shown separately within the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the New Zealand JV.

4. | SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value and 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 Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is equal to segment income. Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) 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 and are included under “Corporate and other” or “unallocated interest expense and other.”
The following tables summarize the segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

(a) | The mortgage notes due in 2017 were recorded at a premium of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2016. Upon maturity the liability will be $31.5 million.

Incremental Term Loan Agreement
On April 28, 2016, the Company entered into an incremental term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions to provide a 10-year, $300 million incremental term loan. Proceeds from the term loan were used to fund Rayonier’s portion of the Menasha acquisition net of the proceeds received from the Washington disposition, to repay approximately $105 million outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions to fix the cost of the term loan over its 10-year term. The periodic interest rate on the incremental term loan agreement is LIBOR plus 1.900%. The Company receives annual patronage payments, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. The Company estimates the effective interest rate for the third quarter was approximately 2.8% after consideration of the estimated patronage payments and interest rate swaps.
Term Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions and other commercial banks to provide $550 million of new credit facilities, including a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (see below) and a nine-year $350 million term loan facility. The Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. The periodic interest rate on the term credit agreement is LIBOR plus 1.625%. The Company estimates the effective interest rate for the third quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of the estimated patronage payments and interest rate swaps.
Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2015, the Company entered into a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing the previous $200 million revolving credit facility and $100 million farm credit facility, which were scheduled to expire in April 2016 and December 2019, respectively. The periodic interest rate on the revolving credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.250%, with an unused commitment fee of 0.175%.
Net borrowings of $25.0 million were made in the third quarter of 2016 on the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2016, the Company had available borrowings of $169.5 million under the revolving credit facility, net of $5.5 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit.
Joint Venture Debt
On March 3, 2016, the Company used proceeds from the term loan facility to fund a capital contribution into the New Zealand JV. The New Zealand JV in turn used the proceeds for full repayment of the outstanding amount of $155 million under its Tranche A credit facility.
In June 2016, the New Zealand JV entered into a 12-month NZ$20.0 million working capital facility and an 18-month NZ$20.0 million working capital facility, replacing the previous NZ$40.0 million facility that expired in June 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the New Zealand JV made additional borrowings and repayments of $146.1 million on the facility. Draws totaling $29.2 million remain available on the working capital facilities at September 30, 2016. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $2.6 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Changes in exchange rates increased debt on a U.S. dollar basis for its shareholder loan by $1.4 million.
Debt Covenants
In connection with the Company’s $350 million term credit agreement, $300 million incremental term loan agreement and $200 million revolving credit facility, customary covenants must be met, the most significant of which include interest coverage and leverage ratios. In addition to these financial covenants, the mortgage notes, senior notes, term credit agreement, incremental term loan agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt and the disposition of assets, among others. At September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

6. | HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS

Rayonier continuously assesses potential alternative uses of its timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. The Company periodically transfers, via a sale or contribution from the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. The Company also acquires HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, the Company also selectively pursues various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, Rayonier also invests in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties.
An analysis of higher and better use timberlands and real estate development costs from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 is shown below:

| Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments
| Land and Timber |  | Development Investments |  | Total

7. | COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain buildings, machinery, and equipment under various operating leases. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments.
At September 30, 2016, the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating and timberland leases were as follows:

| Operating Leases |  | Timberland Leases (a) |  | Commitments (b) |  | Total
Remaining 2016 |  | $518 |  |  |  | $3,838 |  |  |  | $5,120 |  |  |  | $9,476 |
2017 | 1,657 |  |  | 10,594 |  |  | 13,786 |  |  | 26,037 |
2018 | 902 |  |  | 9,443 |  |  | 9,193 |  |  | 19,538 |
2019 | 725 |  |  | 8,966 |  |  | 9,193 |  |  | 18,884 |
2020 | 605 |  |  | 8,553 |  |  | 9,193 |  |  | 18,351 |
Thereafter (c) | 1,770 |  |  | 163,003 |  |  | 37,393 |  |  | 202,166 |
|  | $6,177 |  |  |  | $204,397 |  |  |  | $83,878 |  |  |  | $294,452 |

(a) | The majority of timberland leases are subject to increases or decreases based on either the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index or market rates.

(b) | Commitments include payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps), standby letters of credit fees for industrial revenue bonds and construction of the Company’s office building.

(c) | Includes 20 years of future minimum payments for perpetual Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”). A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35-year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one-year term. As of September 30, 2016, the New Zealand JV has four CFL’s under termination notice, terminating in 2034, two in 2044 and 2049 as well as two fixed-term CFL’s expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market rental value, with triennial rent reviews.

8. | INCOME TAXES

The operations conducted by the Company’s REIT entities are generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The New Zealand JV is subject to corporate level tax in New Zealand. Non-REIT qualifying operations are conducted by the Company’s TRS. The primary businesses performed in Rayonier’s TRS include log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the sale and entitlement of development HBU properties.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35.0% U.S. statutory rate due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are principally related to the New Zealand JV.

9. | CONTINGENCIES

Following the Company’s November 10, 2014 earnings release and filing of the restated interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 (the “November 2014 Announcement”), shareholders of the Company filed five putative class actions against the Company and Paul G. Boynton, Hans E. Vanden Noort, David L. Nunes, and H. Edwin Kiker arising from circumstances described in the November 2014 Announcement, entitled respectively:

• | Sating v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01395; filed November 12, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

• | Keasler v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01398, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

• | Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01403, filed November 13, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida;

• | Christie v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01429, filed November 21, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and

• | Brown v. Rayonier Inc. et al, Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-08986, initially filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and later transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and assigned as Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-01474.

On January 9, 2015, the five securities actions were consolidated into one putative class action entitled In re Rayonier Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 3:14-cv-01395-TJC-JBT, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. Two shareholders, the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers and the Lake Worth Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund moved for appointment as lead plaintiff on January 12, 2015, which was granted on February 25, 2015. On April 7, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). In the Consolidated Complaint, plaintiffs added allegations as to and added as a defendant N. Lynn Wilson, a former officer of Rayonier. With the filing of the Consolidated Complaint, David L. Nunes and H. Edwin Kiker were dropped from the case as defendants. Defendants timely filed Motions to Dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on May 15, 2015. After oral argument on Defendants' motions on August 25, 2015, the Court dismissed the Consolidated Complaint without prejudice, allowing plaintiffs leave to refile. Plaintiffs filed the Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on September 25, 2015, which continued to assert claims against the Company, as well as Ms. Wilson and Messrs. Boynton and Vanden Noort. Defendants timely filed Motions to Dismiss the Amended Complaint on October 26, 2015. The court denied those motions on May 20, 2016. The case is now in the discovery phase. At this preliminary stage, the Company cannot determine whether there is a reasonable likelihood a material loss has been incurred nor can the range of any such loss be estimated.
On November 26, 2014, December 29, 2014, January 26, 2015, February 13, 2015, and May 12, 2015, the Company received separate letters from shareholders requesting that the Company investigate or pursue derivative claims against certain officers and directors related to the November 2014 Announcement. Although these demands do not identify any claims against the Company, the Company has certain obligations to advance expenses and provide indemnification to certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The Company has also incurred expenses as a result of costs arising from the investigation of the claims alleged in the various demands. At this preliminary stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted, nor can the range of potential expenses the Company may incur as a result of the obligations identified above be estimated.
The Company has also been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These pending lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

(a) Rayonier did not issue additional shares upon maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due August 2015 (the “2015
Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. ASC 260, Earnings Per Share required the assumed conversion of the 2015 Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeded the strike price, while the conversion of the hedges was excluded since they were anti-dilutive. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the prior period presented.
Rayonier did not distribute additional shares upon the February 2016 maturity of the warrants sold in conjunction with the 2015 Notes as the stock price did not exceed $28.11 per share. The warrants were not dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 as the average stock price for the periods the warrants were outstanding did not exceed the strike price.

12. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks.
Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC 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 its New Zealand operations is partially or completely liquidated. The ineffective portion of any hedge, 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. The Company’s hedge ineffectiveness was de minimis for all periods presented.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Option Contracts
The functional currency of Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited, and the New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand JV is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The New Zealand JV typically hedges 35% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases, 25% to 75% of forecasted sales and purchases for the forward three to 12 months and up to 50% of the forward 12 to 18 months. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand JV’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of September 30, 2016, foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through November 2017.
Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. 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.
The Company may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive income for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings.
In August 2015, the Company entered into foreign currency option contracts (notional amount of $332 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when translating the New Zealand JV’s balance sheet to U.S. dollars. These contracts hedged a portion of the Company’s net investment in New Zealand and qualified as a net investment hedge. The fair value of these contracts was 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 hedges qualified for hedge accounting whereby fluctuations in fair market value during the life of the hedge are recorded in AOCI and remain there permanently unless a partial or full liquidation of the investment is made. At each reporting period, the Company reviews the hedges for ineffectiveness. Ineffectiveness can occur when changes to the investment or the hedged instrument are made such that the risk of foreign exchange movements are no longer mitigated by the hedging instrument. At that time, the amount related to the ineffectiveness of the hedge is recorded into earnings. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness during the life of the hedges. The foreign currency option contracts matured on February 3, 2016.
On February 1, 2016, the Company entered into foreign currency option contracts (notional amounts of $159.7 million and $154.6 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when funding the capital contribution to the New Zealand JV. On February 29, 2016, the contracts were settled for a net premium of $0.3 million. The gain on these contracts was recorded in “Other operating income, net” as they did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
On February 29, 2016, the Company purchased a foreign exchange forward contract (notional amount $159.5 million) to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rate contracts when funding the capital contribution to the New Zealand JV. The contract matured on March 3, 2016, resulting in a gain of $0.9 million. The gain on this contract was recorded in “Other operating income, net” as it did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company used interest rate swaps to manage the New Zealand JV’s exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt attributable to changes in the New Zealand Bank bill rate. On March 3, 2016, as part of the capital contribution into the New Zealand JV, the Company settled all remaining New Zealand JV interest rate swaps for $9.3 million. Initially, these hedges qualified for hedge accounting; however, upon consolidation of the New Zealand JV in 2013, the hedges no longer qualified, requiring all future changes in the fair market value of the hedges to be recorded in earnings.
The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on its variable-rate Term Credit Agreement and Incremental Term Loan Agreement (as discussed below), and uses variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, the Company reports the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassifies them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings.
In August 2015, the Company entered into a nine-year interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $170 million. This swap agreement fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on the Term Credit Agreement borrowings due 2024 from LIBOR to an average rate of 2.20%. Together with the bank margin of 1.63%, this results in a rate of 3.83% before estimated patronage payments. This derivative instrument has been designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.
Also, in August 2015, the Company entered into a nine-year forward interest rate swap agreement with a start date in April 2016 for a notional amount of $180 million. This swap agreement fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on the Term Credit Agreement borrowings due 2024 from LIBOR to an average rate of 2.35%. Together with the bank margin of 1.63%, this results in a rate of 3.97% before estimated patronage payments. This derivative instrument has been designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.
In April 2016, the Company entered into two ten-year interest rate swap agreements, each for a notional amount of $100 million. These swap agreements fix the variable portion of the interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan borrowings due 2026 to an average rate of 1.60%. Together with the bank margin of 1.90%, this results in a rate of 3.50% before estimated patronage payments. These derivative instruments have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting.
On July 7, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $100 million through May 2026. This swap agreement fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan borrowings due 2026 from LIBOR to an average rate of 1.26%. Together with the bank margin of 1.90%, this results in a rate of 3.16% before estimated patronage payments. This derivative instrument has been designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.

13. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. (a)
The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

| September 30, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
Asset (Liability) (a) | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value
|  |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  |  |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $110,039 |  |  |  | $110,039 |  |  | — |  |  |  | $51,777 |  |  |  | $51,777 |  |  | — |
Restricted cash (b) | 1,095 |  |  | 1,095 |  |  | — |  |  | 23,525 |  |  | 23,525 |  |  | — |
Current maturities of long-term debt | (31,752 | ) |  | — |  |  | (32,403 | ) |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Long-term debt (c) | (1,033,288 | ) |  | — |  |  | (1,049,210 | ) |  | (830,554 | ) |  | — |  |  | (830,203 | )
Interest rate swaps (d) | (35,655 | ) |  | — |  |  | (35,655 | ) |  | (18,244 | ) |  | — |  |  | (18,244 | )
Foreign currency exchange contracts (d) | 973 |  |  | — |  |  | 973 |  |  | (1,625 | ) |  | — |  |  | (1,625 | )
Foreign currency option contracts (d) | 1,920 |  |  | — |  |  | 1,920 |  |  | 3,964 |  |  | — |  |  | 3,964 |

(a) | The Company did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at September 30, 2016.

(b) | Restricted cash is recorded in “Other Assets” and represents the proceeds from like-kind exchange sales deposited with a third-party intermediary and cash held in escrow for a real estate sale. See Note 17 — Restricted Deposits for additional information regarding restricted cash.

(c) | The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of capitalized debt costs on non-revolving debt. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information.

(d) | See Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Balance Sheet classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

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.

14. | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Currently, the pension plan is closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. In 2016, the Company has no mandatory pension contribution requirement.
The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recorded are shown in the following table:

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Rayonier,” we mean Rayonier Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Rayonier Inc. included in Item 1 of this Report.
This MD&A is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors which may affect future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”) and information contained in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial outcomes including Rayonier’s earnings guidance, if any, business and market conditions, outlook, expected dividend rate, Rayonier’s business strategies, including expected harvest schedules, timberland acquisitions, sales of non-strategic timberlands, the anticipated benefits of Rayonier’s business strategies, and other similar statements relating to Rayonier’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “anticipate” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The risk factors contained in Item 1A — Risk Factors in the 2015 Form 10-K and similar discussions included in other reports that we subsequently file with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and those expressed in forward-looking statements made in this document.
Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any subsequent disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Rayonier’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Rayonier uses certain non-GAAP measures, including “cash available for distribution,” and “Adjusted EBITDA,” which are defined and further explained in Performance and Liquidity Indicators below. Reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measures can also be found in Performance and Liquidity Indicators below. Rayonier’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We are a leading timberland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with assets located in some of the most productive softwood timber growing regions in the United States and New Zealand. Our revenues, operating income and cash flows are primarily derived from the following core business segments: Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber, New Zealand Timber, Real Estate and Trading. As of September 30, 2016, we owned or leased under long-term agreements approximately 2.3 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. South (1.9 million acres) and U.S. Pacific Northwest (379,000 acres). We also have a 77% ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”), that owns or leases approximately 436,000 acres (299,000 net plantable acres) of timberlands in New Zealand.
The Southern Timber, Pacific Northwest Timber and New Zealand Timber segments include all activities related to the harvesting of timber and other non-timber income activities, such as the leasing of properties for hunting, mineral extraction and cell towers. The New Zealand Timber segment also reflects any land or leasehold sales that occur within our New Zealand portfolio.
The Real Estate segment includes all U.S. land sales disaggregated into five sales categories: Improved Development, Unimproved Development, Rural, Non-Strategic / Timberlands and Large Dispositions.
The Trading segment reflects the log trading activities that support our New Zealand operations. The Trading segment complements the New Zealand Timber segment by adding scale and achieving cost savings that directly benefit the New Zealand Timber segment. Trading also generally contributes modestly to earnings without significant investment and provides market intelligence that benefits the timber business.
Industry and Market Conditions
The demand for timber is directly related to the underlying demand for pulp, paper, packaging, lumber and other wood products. The significant majority of timber sold in our Southern Timber segment is consumed domestically. With a higher proportion of pulpwood, our Southern Timber segment relies heavily on downstream markets for pulp and paper, and to a lesser extent wood pellet markets. Our Pacific Northwest segment relies primarily on domestic customers but also exports a significant volume of timber, particularly to China. Both the Southern and Pacific Northwest Timber segments rely on the strength of U.S. lumber markets as well as underlying housing starts. Our New Zealand Timber segment sells timber to domestic New Zealand wood products mills and also exports a significant portion of its volume to markets in China, Korea and India. In addition to market dynamics in the Pacific Rim, the New Zealand Timber segment is subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which can impact the competitiveness of its products.
The Company is also subject to the risk of price fluctuations in its major cost components. The primary components of the Company's cost of sales are the cost basis of timber sold (depletion), the cost basis of real estate sold and logging and transportation costs (cut and haul). Depletion includes the amortization of capitalized costs (site preparation, planting and fertilization, real estate taxes, timberland lease payments, road and bridge construction, software and certain payroll costs). Other costs include depreciation of fixed assets and equipment, road maintenance, severance and excise taxes, fire prevention and real estate commissions and closing costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2015 Form 10-K.

Southern Timber
Third quarter sales of $27.8 million decreased $7.0 million, or 20%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 23% to 1.09 million tons versus 1.42 million tons in the prior year period. This decrease in harvest volumes was driven by wet weather in the Gulf states, which restricted our ability to harvest in that region, and curtailed harvest activity in certain eastern markets in response to softer market conditions resulting from dry weather and higher mill inventories. Average sawtimber stumpage prices decreased 4% to $26.17 per ton versus $27.27 per ton in the prior year period, while average pulpwood stumpage prices increased 6% to $17.36 per ton versus $16.39 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by mix, specifically heavy rainfall resulting in decreased volume in one of the Company’s higher-priced sawtimber regions. The increase in average pulpwood prices was also driven by mix, as an increased proportion of volume came from higher-priced regions. Overall, weighted-average stumpage prices (including hardwood) increased 1% to $19.76 per ton versus $19.63 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $8.2 million decreased $2.3 million versus the prior year period due to lower volumes ($3.0 million), higher overhead and road maintenance costs ($0.3 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.2 million), which were partially offset by lower depletion rates ($1.0 million) and higher weighted-average stumpage prices ($0.2 million). Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $18.2 million was $6.7 million below the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $102.2 million decreased $0.8 million, or 1%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 1% to 4.03 million tons versus 4.08 million tons in the prior year period. This decrease in harvest volumes was driven by extreme wet weather conditions in certain markets. Average pulpwood stumpage prices increased 1% to $18.34 per ton versus $18.09 per ton in the prior year period, while average sawtimber stumpage prices decreased 4% to $26.74 per ton versus $27.83 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by mix, specifically a significant reduction in volume from one of the Company’s higher-priced sawtimber regions. Average pulpwood prices continued to be well above south-wide benchmarks due to strong pricing in our core markets, particularly along the East Coast. Overall, weighted average stumpage prices (including hardwood) decreased 1% to $20.54 per ton versus $20.77 per ton in the prior year period. Operating income of $35.0 million increased $0.3 million versus the prior year period due to lower depletion rates ($3.7 million), partially offset by higher road maintenance, leased land reforestation expense and overhead costs ($1.2 million), other expense ($0.7 million), lower prices ($0.9 million), lower volumes ($0.5 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.1 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $72.1 million was $4.0 million below the prior year period.
Pacific Northwest Timber
Third quarter sales of $16.1 million decreased $5.5 million, or 25%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 32% to 241,000 tons versus 353,000 tons in the prior year period, as additional volume from our Oregon acquisition was more than offset by harvest curtailments in Washington in response to weaker than expected export market conditions in the beginning of the quarter. Average delivered sawtimber prices increased 3% to $76.69 per ton versus $74.33 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices decreased 13% to $40.07 per ton versus $45.88 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in average sawtimber prices was due to an overall strengthening of export and domestic sawtimber markets, combined with additional volume from Oregon, which generally commands a higher sawtimber price than Washington. The decrease in pulpwood prices was due to the increased availability of wood chips in certain market areas. Operating loss of $3.3 million versus operating income of $3.1 million in the prior year period was primarily due to higher depletion rates resulting from our Oregon acquisition ($3.8 million), lower volumes ($2.6 million), higher overhead and severance taxes ($0.5 million) and lower non-timber income ($0.1 million), which were partially offset by higher prices ($0.6 million). Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million was $3.9 million below the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $52.3 million decreased $5.5 million, or 9%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 10% to 839,000 tons versus 928,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered sawtimber prices decreased 2% to $72.80 per ton versus $74.11 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered pulpwood prices decreased 4% to $42.85 per ton versus $44.48 per ton in the prior year period. The decrease in average sawtimber prices was driven by continued weak demand in export markets and reduced local sawmill capacity, while the decrease in average pulpwood prices was driven by a reduction in market prices as more chip residuals entered the market from increased sawmill activity. Operating loss of $0.9 million versus operating income of $7.4 million in the prior year period was primarily due to higher depletion rates ($5.1 million), lower volumes ($1.8 million), lower prices ($0.7 million), lower non-timber income ($0.6 million) and higher road maintenance, sales and engineering costs ($0.1 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $14.1 million was $4.2 million below the prior year period.

New Zealand Timber
Third quarter sales of $42.2 million increased $1.1 million, or 3%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 23% to 552,000 tons versus 721,000 tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 18% to $97.44 per ton versus $82.42 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 25% to $75.06 per ton versus $60.12 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to stronger demand from China. The increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by strong demand for construction materials and the rise in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.72 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.66 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 15% from the prior year period. Operating income of $6.6 million increased $7.5 million versus the prior year period due to higher prices ($6.6 million), changes in volume/mix ($0.3 million), lower depletion rates ($0.1 million), favorable changes in foreign exchange impacts ($1.2 million) and higher carbon credit sales ($0.3 million), which were partially offset by higher forest management and overhead costs ($1.0 million). Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $12.6 million was $6.5 million above the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $126.0 million increased $4.5 million, or 4%, versus the prior year period. Harvest volumes decreased 10% to 1.66 million tons versus 1.84 million tons in the prior year period. Average delivered prices for export sawtimber increased 8% to $96.04 per ton versus $89.01 per ton in the prior year period, while average delivered prices for domestic sawtimber increased 9% to $71.26 per ton versus $65.54 per ton in the prior year period. The increase in export sawtimber prices was primarily due to stronger demand from China, while the increase in domestic sawtimber prices (in U.S. dollar terms) was driven primarily by stronger demand for construction material, partially offset by the fall in the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.69 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.72 per NZ$1.00). Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, domestic sawtimber prices increased 13% from the prior year period. Operating income of $21.4 million increased $17.6 million versus the prior year period due to higher prices ($17.7 million), higher carbon sales ($0.8 million), favorable mix/volumes ($1.5 million) and lower depletion rates ($0.3 million), which were partially offset by changes in foreign exchange impacts ($0.2 million), change in land sales ($1.7 million), lower non-timber income ($0.3 million) and higher forest management costs ($0.5 million). Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $40.5 million was $14.5 million above the prior year period.
Real Estate
Third quarter sales of $60.6 million increased $25.4 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $43.1 million increased $23.1 million versus the prior year period. Sales and operating income increased in the third quarter due to higher volumes (23,601 acres sold versus 14,204 acres sold in the prior year period), and a 4% increase in weighted average prices ($2,569 per acre versus $2,480 per acre in the prior year period). Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $56.6 million was $25.7 million above the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $211.3 million increased $145.3 million versus the prior year period, while operating income of $153.0 million increased $119.0 million versus the prior year period. Year-to-date sales and operating income include $129.5 million and $101.3 million, respectively, of a Large Disposition. Sales and operating income increased in the first nine months due to higher volumes (89,510 acres sold versus 23,938 acres sold in the prior year period), partially offset by lower weighted average prices ($2,361 per acre versus $2,756 per acre in the prior year period). Year-to-date operating income also increased due to the receipt of a $4.0 million deferred payment with respect to a prior land sale.
Unimproved Development third quarter sales of $1.4 million were comprised of a 73-acre tract in St. John’s County, Florida for approximately $18,500 per acre. Rural sal es of $6.4 million were comprised of 2,069 acres at an average price of $3,082 per acre. Non-strategic / Timberland sales of $52.8 million were comprised of 21,459 acres at an average price of $2,465 per acre, including 17,772 acres in Georgia for $2,720 per acre.
Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA of $74.0 million was $19.4 million above the prior year period.

Third quarter sales of $24.7 million increased $5.7 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes and prices. Sales volumes increased 16% to 269,000 tons versus 231,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices increased 11% to $91.80 per ton versus $82.45 per ton in the prior year period. The increases in both volumes and prices were primarily due to stronger demand from China. Operating income of $0.5 million increased $0.1 million versus the prior year period.
Year-to-date sales of $76.0 million increased $16.5 million versus the prior year period due to higher volumes and prices. Sales volumes increased 20% to 816,000 tons versus 679,000 tons in the prior year period. Average prices increased 8% to $93.18 per ton versus $86.50 per ton in the the prior year period. The increase in both volume and price was primarily due to stronger demand from China. Operating income of $1.5 million increased $0.8 million versus the prior year period.
Other Items
Corporate and Other Expense/Eliminations
Third quarter corporate and other operating expenses of $5.4 million increased $0.1 million versus the prior year period due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses ($0.2 million) and timberland transaction costs ($0.2 million), which were partially offset by lower costs related to shareholder litigation ($0.3 million). Year-to-date corporate and other operating expense of $18.5 million decreased $2.8 million versus the prior year period primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses ($2.6 million), a gain on foreign currency derivatives ($1.2 million) and lower costs related to shareholder litigation ($0.9 million), which were partially offset by timberland transaction costs ($1.3 million) and other minor variances ($0.6 million). Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 10 — Contingencies in the 2015 Form 10-K.
Interest Expense
Third quarter interest expense of $8.5 million increased $0.9 million versus the prior year period due to higher outstanding debt, partially offset by lower average rates and $0.4 million of expense related to the write-off of capitalized financing costs in the prior year period. Year-to-date interest expense of $23.6 million decreased $1.0 million versus the prior year period primarily due to lower rates on the term credit agreement entered into in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by higher outstanding debt.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Third quarter and year-to-date income tax expense of $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, was principally related to the New Zealand JV.
Share Repurchases
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $0.7 million of common stock at an average price of $19.59 per share and did not repurchase any common stock in the second or third quarters. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 122.9 million shares of common stock outstanding and $99.3 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.
Outlook
Based on our strong results for the first nine months and expectations for the balance of the year, we now anticipate full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $228 to $235 million, well above our prior guidance of $195 to $215 million. We continue to expect relatively flat prices in our Southern Timber and Pacific Northwest Timber segments for the remainder of the year, and we will continue to adjust harvest levels as appropriate to maximize the long-term value of our assets. In our New Zealand Timber segment, we expect continued strong performance driven by solid demand in both domestic and export markets. In our Real Estate segment, following an extraordinarily strong third quarter, we expect relatively light closings in the fourth quarter. We continue to be encouraged by interest in our Wildlight development project north of Jacksonville, Florida.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of cash is cash flow from operations, primarily the harvesting of timber and sales of real estate. As a REIT, our main use of cash is dividends. We also use cash to maintain the productivity of our timberlands through replanting and silviculture. Our operations have generally produced consistent cash flow and required limited capital resources. Short-term borrowings have helped fund working capital needs while acquisitions of timberlands generally require funding from external sources or asset dispositions.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

(millions of dollars) | 2016 |  | 2015
Cash provided by (used for): |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $163.9 |  |  |  | $143.4 |
Investing activities | (254.1 | ) |  | (142.9 | )
Financing activities | 146.8 |  |  | (90.1 | )

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2016 was primarily attributable to higher operating results, partially offset by changes in working capital.
Cash Used for Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities increased $111.2 million compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in timberland acquisitions of $265.4 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $3.0 million, an increase in real estate development investments of $2.8 million and an increase in spending on the construction of the Company’s office building of $3.6 million. This amount was partially offset by net proceeds from a Large Disposition of $127.0 million and a change in restricted cash of $40.3 million.
Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased $236.9 million from the prior year period due to an increase in net debt issuances of $162.4 million, a decrease in common shares repurchases of $72.9 million and a decrease in dividends paid of $2.2 million.

Expected 2016 Expenditures
As part of Wildlight, our mixed-use community development project located north of Jacksonville at the interchange of I-95 and State Road A1A, we are constructing an office building expected to cost approximately $13 million. Of the $13 million, we expect to incur $8 million in 2016 and $5 million in 2017. The new office will allow consolidation of three leased offices in Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, Florida into one location and also serve as a catalyst for the Company’s mixed-use development project.
Capital expenditures in 2016 are expected to be between $60 and $65 million, excluding capital expenditures related to the office building and any strategic timberland acquisitions we may make. Capital expenditures are expected to be comprised primarily of seedling planting, fertilization and other silvicultural activities, property taxes, lease payments, allocated overhead and other capitalized costs. Aside from capital expenditures, we may also acquire timberland as we actively evaluate acquisition opportunities. Real estate development investments in 2016 are expected to be approximately $10 million.
Our 2016 dividend payments are expected to be approximately $123 million assuming no change in the quarterly dividend rate of $0.25 per share or material changes in the number of shares outstanding.
Future share repurchases, if any, will depend on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow, as well as general market conditions and other considerations including capital allocation priorities.
We have no mandatory pension contributions in 2016 but will likely be required to make contributions in the future. We also may make discretionary contributions in the future. On an ongoing basis, cash income tax payments are expected to be minimal.
Performance and Liquidity Indicators
The discussion below is presented to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operating performance, liquidity, ability to generate cash and satisfy rating agency and creditor requirements. This information includes two measures of financial results: Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”). These measures are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and CAD is not intended to conflict with or change any of the GAAP disclosures described above.
Management uses CAD as a liquidity measure. CAD is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to measure cash generated during a period that is available for dividend distribution, repurchase of the Company’s common shares, debt reduction and strategic acquisitions. We define CAD as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending (excluding timberland acquisitions and spending on the Company’s office building) and working capital and other balance sheet changes. CAD is not necessarily indicative of the CAD that may be generated in future periods.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to make strategic decisions about the business and that investors can use to evaluate the operational performance of the assets under management. It removes the impact of specific items that management believes do not directly reflect the core business operations on an ongoing basis. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, the non-cash cost of land and improved development, costs related to shareholder litigation, the gain on foreign currency derivatives and Large Dispositions. Costs related to shareholder litigation include expenses incurred as a result of the securities litigation, the shareholder derivative demands and the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. See Note 10—Contingencies in the 2015 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Facilities
Incremental Term Loan Agreement
On April 28, 2016, the Company entered into an incremental term loan agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions to provide a 10-year, $300 million incremental term loan. Proceeds from the new term loan were used to fund Rayonier’s portion of the Menasha acquisition net of the proceeds received from the Washington disposition, to repay approximately $105 million outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to fix the cost of the term loan over its 10-year term. The periodic interest rate on the incremental term loan agreement is LIBOR plus 1.900%. The Company receives annual patronage payments, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. The Company estimates the effective interest rate for the third quarter was approximately 2.8% after consideration of the estimated patronage payments and interest rate swaps.
Term Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of Farm Credit institutions and other commercial banks to provide $550 million of new credit facilities, including a nine-year $350 million term loan facility. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap transaction to fix the cost of the term loan facility over its nine-year term. The periodic interest rate on the term credit agreement is LIBOR plus 1.625%. The Company estimates the effective interest rate for the third quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of the estimated patronage payments and interest rate swaps.
Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2015, the Company entered into a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing the previous $200 million revolving credit facility and $100 million farm credit facility, which were scheduled to expire in April 2016 and December 2019, respectively. The periodic interest rate on the revolving credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.250%, with an unused commitment fee of 0.175%.
Net borrowings of $25.0 million were made during the third quarter of 2016 on the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2016, the Company had available borrowings of $169.5 million, net of $5.5 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit, under the revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents
Joint Venture Debt
During the first quarter, the Company used proceeds from the term loan facility to fund a capital contribution into the New Zealand JV, which the New Zealand JV in turn used for repayment of the outstanding amount of $155 million under its existing Tranche A credit facility. In addition, all interest rate swap contracts associated with this debt were settled for $9.3 million at the time of the debt repayment.
In June 2016, the New Zealand JV entered into a 12-month NZ$20.0 million working capital facility and an 18-month NZ$20.0 million working capital facility, replacing the previous NZ$40.0 million facility that expired in June 2016.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the New Zealand JV made additional borrowings and repayments of $146.1 million on its working capital facility. Additional draws totaling $29.2 million remain available on the working capital facility. In addition, the New Zealand JV paid $2.6 million of its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party.
See Note 5 – Debt for additional information on these agreements and other outstanding debt, as well as for information on covenants that must be met in connection with our mortgage notes, term credit agreement and the revolving credit facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
See Note 10 — Guarantees for details on the letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees as of September 30, 2016.
Contractual Financial Obligations
In addition to using cash flow from operations, we finance our operations through the issuance of debt and by entering into leases. These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transaction, with the result that some are recorded as liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, while others are required to be disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
The following table aggregates our contractual financial obligations as of September 30, 2016 and anticipated cash spending by period:

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market and Other Economic Risks
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market risks. We use derivatives in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Derivatives are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As of September 30, 2016 we had $690 million of U.S. long-term variable rate debt. Our primary interest rate exposure on variable rate debt results from changes in LIBOR. However, we use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our term credit agreement by swapping existing borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2016 was $650 million. The term credit agreement and associated interest rate swaps mature in August 2024 and the incremental term loan agreement and associated interest rate swaps mature in May 2026. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in a corresponding increase/decrease of approximately $0.4 million in interest payments and expense over a 12 month period.
The fair market value of our U.S. long-term fixed interest rate debt is also subject to interest rate risk. The estimated fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2016 was $337 million compared to the $325 million principal amount. We use interest rates of debt with similar terms and maturities to estimate the fair value of our debt. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase/decrease in prevailing interest rates at September 30, 2016 would result in a corresponding decrease/increase in the fair value of our long-term fixed-rate debt of approximately $17 million.
We estimate the periodic effective interest rate on U.S. long-term fixed and variable rate debt for the third quarter was approximately 3.3% after consideration of interest rate swaps and estimated patronage payments, excluding unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facility.
The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. Through these operations and our ownership in the New Zealand JV, we are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash held in foreign currencies and on foreign export sales and ocean freight payments that are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. To mitigate these risks, the New Zealand JV routinely enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of the New Zealand JV’s foreign exchange exposure. At September 30, 2016, the New Zealand JV had foreign currency exchange contracts with a notional amount of $25 million and foreign currency option contracts with a notional amount of $71 million outstanding. The amount hedged represents 40% of forecast U.S. dollar denominated harvesting sales proceeds over the next 18 months and 31% of log trading sales proceeds over the next 3 months.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rayonier management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), are designed with the objective of ensuring information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported or submitted within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control exceptions and instances of fraud have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2016, based upon the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of SEC Rule 13a-15, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The information set forth in Note 9—Contingencies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” under Item 1 of Part I of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In February 2016, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of Rayonier’s common shares (the “share repurchase program”) to be made at management’s discretion. The program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no shares repurchased under this program in the third quarter of 2016 and there was $99.3 million, or approximately 3,741,915 shares based on the period end closing stock price of $26.54, available for repurchase as of September 30, 2016.
In 1996, we began a Common Share repurchase program (the “1996 anti-dilutive program”) to minimize the dilutive effect of our employee incentive stock plans on earnings per share. This program limits the number of shares that may be purchased each year to the greater of 1.5% of outstanding shares at the beginning of the year or the number of incentive shares issued to employees during the year. In October 2000, July 2003 and October 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of additional shares in the program totaling 2.1 million shares. None of these shares have expiration dates. There were no shares repurchased under this program in the third quarter of 2016 and there were 3,776,612 shares available for purchase at September 30, 2016.
The following table provides information regarding our purchases of Rayonier common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2016:

Period |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased (a) |  | Average Price Paid per Share |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (b) |  | Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (c)
July 1 to July 31 |  | 27 |  |  |  | $26.96 |  |  | — |  |  | 7,518,527 |
August 1 to August 31 |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 7,518,527 |
September 1 to September 30 |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 7,518,527 |
Total |  | 27 |  |  |  |  | — |  |  |  |

(a) | Includes 27 shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in July from employees in non-open market transactions. The shares of stock were sold by current employees of the Company in exchange for cash that was used to pay withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan. The price per share surrendered is based on the closing price of the company’s stock on the respective vesting dates of the awards.

(b) | Purchases made in open-market transactions under the $100 million share repurchase program announced on February 10, 2016.

(c) | Maximum number of shares authorized to be purchased as of September 30, 2016 include 3,776,612 under the 1996 anti-dilutive program and approximately 3,741,915 under the share repurchase program.
