Weyco Expects Strong Growth
Weyerhaeuser Co. hosted an Investor Day in December and outlined the company’s strategic growth plan and financial targets through 2030.
“Weyerhaeuser stands alone in the timberlands, wood products and land solutions space as the only large cap, integrated investment opportunity poised for accelerated growth,” says Devin Stockfish, President and CEO. “Over the next five years, we intend to catalyze growth initiatives across the entirety of our integrated portfolio to significantly grow the value and cash generation capabilities of our company and further strengthen our competitive position.”
The growth plan is expected to deliver $1.5 billion of incremental Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) by 2030, measured against a 2024 baseline, and includes $1 billion of Adjusted EBITDA uplift from identified growth initiatives. The remaining $500 million of uplift reflects a modest improvement in product pricing during the period, which the company views as a conservative estimate. Identified growth initiatives span the entirety of Weyerhaeuser’s portfolio and include the following expected contributions above the 2024 baseline:
• $440 million from Wood Products
• $230 million from Strategic Land Solutions, including $170 million of uplift from Climate Solutions business
• $180 million from enterprise initiatives
• $150 million from Timberlands
