Longview Fibre Company Reports Fiscal 2005 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

LONGVIEW, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2006--Longview Fibre Company (NYSE:LFB) today announced results for its full fiscal year and fourth quarter ended October 31, 2005.

For the full fiscal year, consolidated net sales reached their highest level in the past ten years, growing 8.1 percent to $898.1 million from $831.2 million in fiscal year 2004. Fiscal year 2005 net income totaled $10.4 million, or $0.20 per share, and included a charge of $6.1 million on an after-tax basis related to the company's fourth-quarter decision to permanently shut down and write off two paper machines that had been idle for approximately four years. Fiscal year 2004 net income totaled $13.9 million, or $0.27 per share, and included a charge of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, on an after-tax basis related to the fourth quarter sale of two bag plants. Cash provided by operations in fiscal 2005 increased 20.7 percent, to $111.0 million from $91.9 million in fiscal 2004.

“As we continue to focus on improving operating efficiencies in 2006, we also expect to complete the remaining steps necessary to qualify as a REIT.”

R. H. Wollenberg, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Fiscal 2005 was an exciting year for Longview Fibre. Demand and pricing showed improvement in both of our manufacturing segments leading to solid revenue growth. In a year that saw record prices for natural gas and other fuels, we demonstrated our ability to manage those costs by altering the mix of fuels used in our manufacturing facilities. Our sound working capital management helped drive improved operating cash flow. This, combined with our disciplined capital expenditure program, allowed us to reduce our borrowed debt by $65.3 million during the year."

"During the year we took several important steps to position the company to convert to a REIT in 2006. In December, we replaced our previous $250 million credit facility with a new $400 million credit agreement with lower interest rates and immediately utilized it to finance the prepayment of all $124.5 million of the company's outstanding senior notes and the balance of our bank revolver. We also transferred our manufacturing and processing assets into a newly formed, wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and changed our fiscal year end to December 31, both necessary steps in order to qualify for REIT status as of January 1, 2006."

Wollenberg continued, "As we've said before, in 2006 we intend to access the public capital markets to provide funding for the one-time taxable distribution of pre-REIT earnings and profits (the E&P distribution) which we expect to pay in 2006 and to complete the refinancing of our long term debt. And we expect to pay a first quarter dividend of $0.25 per share, consistent with our intention to pay annual REIT dividends of $1.00 per share, before adjustment for the additional shares that are expected to be issued as part of the E&P distribution."

"Looking ahead to fiscal 2006, we expect sustained domestic and Asian demand for our log and lumber products, subject to normal seasonality, and expect our timber segment to remain our most stable source of income and cash flow. We enter the year with a solid backlog of orders for our Longview mill and the prospect of improving prices for kraft paper. Although prices for linerboard and converted products declined in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we expect a recovery in converted products pricing to be reflected in the first quarter of calendar 2006. Managing energy and freight costs will continue to be a primary emphasis of our operational teams. Our inventory levels are in good shape and our manufacturing facilities are positioned to adapt efficiently to seasonal demand patterns."

Mr. Wollenberg concluded, "As we continue to focus on improving operating efficiencies in 2006, we also expect to complete the remaining steps necessary to qualify as a REIT."

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2005 Compared With Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2004

Consolidated fiscal 2005 fourth quarter net sales totaled $224.7 million, compared with net sales of $227.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The company reported a fourth quarter net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.13 per share, including a charge of $6.1 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.12 per share, related to the company's fourth-quarter decision to permanently shut down and write off two paper machines that had been idle for approximately four years. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the company reported net income of $9.3 million, or $0.18 per share, including a charge of $1.3 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per share, related to the sale of two bag plants. Cash provided by operations in the fourth quarter increased 12.6 percent, to $28.9 million from $25.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

Timber Segment

Timber segment sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 totaled $41.6 million, a 2.2 percent decrease compared with sales of $42.5 million in last year's fourth fiscal quarter. Timber segment operating profit totaled $15.8 million, compared with $19.6 million in the same period last year, reflecting a combination of higher logging and freight costs and lower lumber prices.

Fourth quarter log sales of $35.4 million were virtually unchanged from last year's fourth quarter as a 3.2 percent increase in average log prices offset a 3.4 percent decrease in volume. Domestic log sales increased 15.3 percent as volume and average prices increased 8.1 percent and 6.7 percent, respectively. Increased sales into the domestic market, combined with the dynamics of the current harvest plan, resulted in a 48.2 percent decline in export log sales on 50.3 percent lower volume, partially offset by a 4.1 percent increase in average prices, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

An 11.5 percent decrease in fourth quarter lumber sales reflected the industry-wide price declines on dimensional products from the historically high levels of the year-ago period. Lumber volume increased 13.9 percent, but was more than offset by a 22.2 percent decline in average prices.

Paper and Paperboard

The company's paper and paperboard segment recorded fourth quarter sales of $64.5 million, compared with sales of $65.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The utilization rate at the company's Longview mill during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 was approximately 84 percent, compared with 86 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and 86 percent in last year's fourth quarter. Compared against last year's fourth quarter, costs of repairs, labor per ton of production and fiber increased 30.2 percent, 13.3 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively. The increased cost of repairs was a result of unanticipated repairs on the company's power boilers. Partially offsetting those increases, energy costs declined 7.8 percent through effective use of biomass fuel and recycled fuel oil in response to high natural gas prices.

The paper and paperboard segment reported an operating loss of $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, including a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $5.0 million representing the segment's allocation of a $9.7 million pre-tax write off of two paper machines that the company decided during the quarter to shut down permanently. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the paper and paperboard segment reported an operating profit of $5.4 million.

Fourth quarter paper sales of $51.7 million were virtually unchanged from $51.8 million in last year's fourth quarter. Volume decreased 4.1 percent but was offset by a 3.8 percent increase in average prices. Domestic paper sales declined 3.5 percent on a 7.9 percent decrease in volume partially offset by a 4.2 percent increase in average prices compared with last year's fourth quarter. Export paper sales increased 15.5 percent as volume expanded 10.1 percent and average prices increased 4.1 percent.

Fourth quarter paperboard sales declined 3.0 percent, to $12.8 million from $13.1 million last year, as a 9.6 percent decline in average prices more than offset an 8.1 percent volume increase. Domestic paperboard sales declined 30.8 percent, reflecting a 27.1 percent volume decrease coupled with a 6.1 percent decrease in average price. Export paperboard sales, including sales of unbleached kraft pulp rolls, increased 23.5 percent driven by a 35.6 percent volume increase partially offset by 8.5 percent lower average prices.

Converted Products

The company's converted products segment reported fourth quarter sales of $118.6 million, down 1.1 percent compared with sales of $119.9 million in last year's fourth quarter. Volume and average prices declined 0.4 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. Additional labor efficiency gains were more than offset by higher costs of purchased linerboard. Including the allocated pre-tax, non-cash charge of $4.7 million related to the permanent shut down of two paper machines, the converted products segment incurred a fourth quarter operating loss of $10.5 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the segment reported an operating loss of $0.5 million, including a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $2.1 million related to the sale of two bag plants.

Selling and Administrative

Fourth quarter selling, administrative and general expenses increased 25.8 percent compared with last year's fourth quarter. This included increased wages and associated fringes; depreciation of purchased ERP systems; consulting and advisory costs associated with the company's ongoing business process improvement initiatives, ERP implementation and REIT conversion; and increased costs associated with Sarbanes Oxley compliance.

Capital Expenditures and Debt

Capital expenditures totaled $8.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with $16.1 million in last year's fourth quarter. During the quarter, the company paid down $19.5 million of debt, ending the fiscal year at $416.9 million of total borrowed debt, a reduction of $65.3 million from October 31, 2004 and down $226.2 million from the peak balance of $643.1 million at January 31, 2002.

Full Year Results

Timber segment sales in fiscal year 2005 were $186.8 million, down 3.1 percent compared with sales of $192.8 million for fiscal year 2004, reflecting a 38.7 percent decline in lumber sales that more than offset a 6.3 percent increase in log sales. Lumber volume was down primarily due to a decision in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 to optimize total return and discontinue the processing of logs into lumber at a third-party sawmill in Oregon. Timber segment operating profit was $84.8 million in fiscal year 2005 compared with $90.0 million in fiscal 2004.

Paper and paperboard segment sales in fiscal year 2005 were $264.7 million, an increase of 17.3 percent compared with sales of $225.7 million for fiscal 2004. Full year operating loss from the paper and paperboard segment totaled $11.3 million, including a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $5.0 million related to the permanent shut-down of two paper machines, compared with an operating loss of $13.6 million in fiscal 2004.

Converted products segment sales in fiscal year 2005 were $446.6 million, an increase of 8.2 percent compared with sales of $412.6 million for fiscal 2004. Full year operating loss from the converted products segment totaled $21.4 million, including a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $4.7 million related to the permanent shut-down of two paper machines, compared with an operating loss of $17.5 million in fiscal 2004, including a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $2.1 million related to the sale of two bag plants.

Selling, administrative and general expenses in fiscal year 2005 were $93.6 million, compared with $82.8 million in fiscal 2004, reflecting increased wages and associated fringes; depreciation of purchased ERP systems; consulting and advisory costs associated with the company's ongoing business process improvement initiatives, ERP implementation and REIT conversion; and increased costs associated with Sarbanes Oxley compliance efforts.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2005, including $10.2 million for the timber segment, totaled $41.7 million, compared with $70.7 million in fiscal 2004. Over the past four years, the company's annual capital expenditures have averaged $48.3 million.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Longview Fibre's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 (the "Form 10-K") contains management's report on its assessment of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2005, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Because management concluded that the company had internal control deficiencies as of October 31, 2005 that constitute material weaknesses, its report contains the conclusion that the company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of October 31, 2005. The Form 10-K also contains an adverse opinion from Longview Fibre's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2005. Additional information regarding the material weaknesses and the company's plan to remediate them is included in the Form 10-K.
