NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “the company,” “we” and “our” refer to the consolidated company.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted. These quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Results of operations for interim periods should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are principally engaged in growing and harvesting timber; maximizing the value of our acreage through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties; monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties; and manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees. Our business segments are organized based primarily on products and services which include:

●

Timberlands – Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products;

●

Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) – Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas production and wind and solar) and

●

Wood Products – Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution.

A reconciliation of our business segment information to the respective information in the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:


	QUARTER ENDED

(2)

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

●

$0.16 during first quarter 2024 and

●

$0.21 during first quarter 2023.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.


	QUARTER ENDED
SHARES IN THOUSANDS	MARCH 2024		MARCH 2023
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		730,043		733,163
Dilutive potential common shares:

Performance share units		249		219
Total effect of outstanding dilutive potential common shares		515		383
Weighted average common shares outstanding – dilutive		730,558		733,546

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units.

Potential Shares Not Included in the Computation of Diluted Earnings per Share

The following shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were either antidilutive or the required performance or market conditions were not met. Some or all of these shares may be dilutive potential common shares in future periods.


	QUARTER ENDED
SHARES IN THOUSANDS	MARCH 2024		MARCH 2023
Stock options		609		610
Performance share units		814		860

Share Repurchase Program

On September 22, 2021, we announced that our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the 2021 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in February 2019 (the 2019 Repurchase Program).

We repurchased 1,472,369 common shares for approximately $49 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during first quarter 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we had remaining authorization of $202 million for future share repurchases. During first quarter 2023, we repurchased 1,115,560 common shares for approximately $35 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

All common stock repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Program were made in open-market transactions. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were no unsettled shares as of March 31, 2024 and 13,866 unsettled shares (approximately $1 million) as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 5: INVENTORIES

Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, as well as materials and supplies.


DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 31, 2024		DECEMBER 31, 2023
LIFO inventories:
Logs	$	25	$	29
Lumber, plywood, oriented strand board and fiberboard		89		77
Other products		12		12
Moving average cost or FIFO inventories:

Lumber, plywood, oriented strand board, fiberboard and engineered wood products		134		115
Other products		144		134
Materials and supplies		154		150
Total	$	630	$	566

LIFO – the last-in, first-out method – applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. locations. The moving average cost method or FIFO – the first-in, first-out method – applies to the balance of our U.S. raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories.

NOTE 6: PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The components of net periodic benefit cost are:


	PENSION
	QUARTER ENDED
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2024			MARCH 2023
Service cost	$	5		$	6
Interest cost		29			30
Expected return on plan assets		(31	)		(30	)
Amortization of actuarial loss		11			8
Total net periodic benefit cost – pension	$	14		$	14


	OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
	QUARTER ENDED
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2024		MARCH 2023
Interest cost	$	1	$	1
Amortization of actuarial loss		1		—
Total net periodic benefit cost – other post-employment benefits	$	2	$	1

For the periods presented, service cost is included in “Costs of sales,” “Selling expenses,” and “General and administrative expenses” with the remaining components included in “Non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets and Obligations

In our year-end reporting process, we estimate the fair value of pension plan assets based upon the information available at that time. For certain assets, primarily private equity funds, the information available consists of net asset values as of an interim date, cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year and market events. We evaluate the year-end estimated fair value of pension plan assets in second quarter of each year to incorporate final net asset values reflected in financial statements received after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 7: ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:


DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 31, 2024		DECEMBER 31, 2023
Compensation and employee benefit costs	$	155	$	173
Current portion of lease liabilities		21		19
Customer rebates, volume discounts and deferred income		83		124
Interest		66		63
Taxes payable		35		31
Other		64		91
Total	$	424	$	501

NOTE 8: LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2023, we entered into a new $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in March 2028 and replaced the existing facility which was set to expire in January 2025. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread or a mutually agreed upon base rate plus a spread. We had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt consisted of the following:


	MARCH 31, 2024				DECEMBER 31, 2023
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)		CARRYING VALUE		FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2)
Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit:
Fixed rate	$	4,822	$	4,775	$	4,820	$	4,853
Variable rate		249		250		249		250
Total debt	$	5,071	$	5,025	$	5,069	$	5,103

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt, we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable-rate long term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair value with only insignificant differences. The inputs to the valuations of our long-term debt are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 10: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Environmental Matters

Site Remediation

Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – commonly known as the “Superfund” – and similar state laws, we:

●

are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and

●

have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated.

As of March 31, 2024, our total accrual for future estimated remediation costs on active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are potentially responsible was approximately $76 million. These amounts are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 11: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which include our Wood Products segment and a portion of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments.

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2024 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings.

NOTE 15: RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In reviewing our results of operations, it is important to understand these terms:

●

Sales realizations for Timberlands and Wood Products refer to net selling prices. This includes selling price plus freight, minus normal sales deductions. Real Estate transactions are presented at the contract sales price before commissions and closing costs, net of any credits.

●

Net contribution (charge) to earnings does not include interest expense or income taxes.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS

Our market conditions and the strength of the broader U.S. economy are, and will continue to be, influenced by the trajectory of activity in the U.S. housing and repair and remodel segments, inflation trends and interest rates. The demand for sawlogs within our Timberlands segment is directly affected by domestic production of wood-based building products. The strength of the U.S. housing market, particularly new residential construction, strongly affects demand in our Wood Products segment, as does repair and remodeling activity. Seasonal weather patterns impact the level of construction activity in the U.S., which in turn affects demand for our logs and wood products. Our Timberlands segment, specifically the Western region, is also affected by export demand and trade policy. Japanese housing starts are a key driver of export log demand in Japan. The demand for pulpwood from our Timberlands segment is directly affected by the production of pulp, paper and oriented strand board (OSB), as well as the demand for biofuels, such as wood-burning pellets made from pulpwood. Our Timberlands segment is also influenced by the availability of harvestable timber. In general, Western log markets are highly tensioned by available supply, while Southern log markets have more available supply. However, additional mill capacity being added in the U.S. South has led to tightening of markets in certain geographies. Our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment is affected by a variety of factors, including the general state of the economy, local real estate market conditions, the level of construction activity in the U.S. and evolution of emerging renewable energy and carbon-related markets.

Over the past year, particularly in the first half of 2023, home sales and building activity slowed due in part to higher mortgage interest rates, reduced affordability and general macroeconomic conditions. In the second half of 2023 and into first quarter 2024, new home sales and single-family construction activity strengthened, supported by near record-low levels of existing inventory and resilient levels of demand. On a seasonally adjusted annual basis, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts for first quarter 2024 averaged 1.4 million units, a 4.7 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2023. Single-family starts averaged 1.1 million units in first quarter 2024, a 1.4 percent increase from fourth quarter 2023. Multi-family starts averaged 346 thousand units in first quarter 2024, which was a 19.5 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2023. Single-family construction is the primary driver for our business as compared to multi-family due to the amount of wood products used. Sales of newly built, single-family homes averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 667 thousand units for first quarter 2024, an increase of 3.5 percent from fourth quarter 2023. Over the medium to long-term, we expect a favorable U.S. housing construction market supported by strong demographics in the key home buying age cohorts, a decade of under building and historically low housing inventory.

Repair and remodeling expenditures decreased by 2.8 percent from fourth quarter 2023 to first quarter 2024 according to the Census Bureau Advance Retail Spending report. Near-term, activity has been supported by existing homeowners staying in place and investing in their current homes due to the lock-in effect of having lower rate mortgages compared to current rates. Over the longer term, we expect this sector to resume pre-pandemic growth trends with healthy household balance sheets, elevated home equity and an aging U.S. housing stock, with a median age of 43 years.

In U.S. wood product markets, demand for lumber and OSB was influenced by cautious buyer sentiment at the outset of first quarter 2024. As the quarter progressed, demand was steady in response to strong single-family housing starts. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite price averaged $403/MBF and the OSB Composite averaged $460/MSF in first quarter 2024. Over the course of the first quarter, composite prices for lumber increased from $395/MBF to $422/MBF and composite prices for OSB increased from $430/MSF to $603/MSF. Constrained capacity for OSB led to the sharp price increases, while lumber supply moderately outpaced demand.

In Western log markets, Douglas fir sawlog prices decreased 2.9 percent in first quarter 2024 compared with fourth quarter 2023, as reported by Fastmarkets RISI Log Lines based on Weyerhaeuser’s sales mix. Overall, domestic log demand and prices faced downward pressure through the quarter, as mills continued to adjust to a soft lumber market and worked through elevated log inventories. In the South, delivered sawlog prices were stable in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and declined 0.6 percent from first quarter 2023 as reported by TimberMart-South. While there continued to be demand for logs across the region and markets generally had ample log supply, a number of mills faced elevated inventories and were adjusting operations due to lower lumber prices.

Currency exchange rates, available supply from other countries and trade policy affect our export businesses. During first quarter 2024, end use demand in export markets moderated. In Japan, total housing starts decreased 7.8 percent year to date through February compared to the same period in 2023, while the key Post and Beam segment saw a 5.9 percent decrease. Lumber imports to Japan from Europe were reduced due to supply chain costs, which provided some support for log sales. China’s weaker end use demand for logs and lumber was offset by lower competitive supply, leading to an increase in pricing for logs from the West.

Interest rates affect our business primarily through their impact on mortgage rates and housing affordability, their general impact on the economy and their influence on our capital management activities. Actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the overall condition of the economy and fluctuations in financial markets are all factors that influence long-term interest rates. 30-year mortgage rates, which are correlated with long-term interest rates, increased from 6.6 percent at the end of fourth quarter 2023 to 6.8 percent at the end of first quarter 2024, according to economic data from Freddie Mac. Many builders have been able to offset higher mortgage rates through discounts, mortgage rate buydowns and modifying product offerings such as

home sizes and finishes. Higher rates have also locked-in many existing homeowners from selling, reducing inventories of existing homes for sale which has led to increased demand for available new homes.

Increased inflation affects the cost of our operations across each of our business segments, including costs for raw materials, transportation, energy and labor. The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual rate of 3.5 percent as of March 2024, which is markedly down from its peak of over 9.0 percent in June 2022. While we can offset some of the impacts of inflation through our sales activities, operational excellence initiatives and procurement practices, not all of the costs associated with inflation can be fully mitigated or passed on to the consumer.

The condition of the labor market affects all of our businesses as it relates to our ability to attract and retain employees and contractors. The unemployment rate of 3.8 percent in March 2024 remained near historically low levels and increased 0.1 percent from the end of fourth quarter 2023.

Governments and businesses across the globe are taking action on climate change and are making significant commitments towards decarbonizing operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Achieving these commitments will require governments and companies to take major steps to modify operations, invest in low-carbon activities and purchase credits to reduce environmental impacts. We believe we are uniquely positioned to help entities achieve these commitments through natural climate solutions, including forest carbon sequestration, carbon capture and storage and renewable energy activities.

Net charge to earnings increased $38 million – 131 percent – primarily due to a $15 million increase in elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO and an $11 million increase in unallocated corporate function and variable compensation expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was:

●

$67 million for first quarter 2024 and

●

$66 million for first quarter 2023.

Interest expense increased by $1 million compared to first quarter 2023 primarily due to a series of debt issuances and retirements during 2023 that slightly increased our average outstanding debt.

INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes was:

●

a $20 million expense for first quarter 2024 and

●

a $22 million expense for first quarter 2023.

Our provision for income taxes is primarily driven by earnings generated by our TRSs. Income tax expense decreased by $2 million compared to first quarter 2023 primarily due to a slight decrease in our overall earnings in first quarter 2024.

Refer to Note 14: Income Taxes for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are committed to maintaining an appropriate capital structure that provides financial flexibility and enables us to protect the interests of our shareholders and meet our obligations to our lenders, while also maintaining access to all major financial markets. As of March 31, 2024, we had $871 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion of availability on our line of credit, which expires in March 2028. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

Consolidated net cash from operations was:

●

$124 million for first quarter 2024 and

●

$126 million for first quarter 2023.

Net cash from operations decreased $2 million primarily due to a $17 million increase in cash paid for income taxes, partially offset by increased cash inflows from our business operations.

CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated net cash from investing activities was:

●

$(77) million for first quarter 2024 and

●

$(69) million for first quarter 2023.

Net cash from investing activities decreased $8 million primarily due to an $8 million increase in cash paid for capital expenditures.

Summary of Capital Spending by Business Segment


	QUARTER ENDED
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2024		MARCH 2023
Timberlands	$	31	$	26
Wood Products		42		43
Unallocated Items		6		2
Total	$	79	$	71

We anticipate our capital expenditures for 2024 to be approximately $440 million. The amount we spend on capital expenditures could change.

CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated net cash from financing activities was:

●

$(308) million for first quarter 2024 and

●

$(841) million for first quarter 2023.

Net cash from financing activities increased $533 million primarily due to a $551 million decrease in cash used for payments of dividends, partially offset by a $16 million increase in cash used for repurchases of common stock.

Line of Credit

In March 2023, we entered into a new $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in March 2028 and replaced the existing facility which was set to expire in January 2025. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term SOFR plus a spread or a mutually agreed upon base rate plus a spread. We had no outstanding borrowings on our $1.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Refer to Note 8: Line of Credit for further information.

Long-Term Debt

We have $210 million of long-term debt scheduled to mature during first quarter 2025.

Refer to Note 9: Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2024, Weyerhaeuser Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. There have been no significant changes to the debt covenants presented in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our long-term debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.

Dividend Payments

We paid cash dividends on common shares of:

●

$248 million for first quarter 2024 and

●

$799 million for first quarter 2023.

The decrease in dividends paid is primarily due to a supplemental dividend of $0.14 per share based on 2023 financial results for a total of $102 million paid in first quarter 2024 in comparison to a supplemental dividend of $0.90 per share based on 2022 financial results for a total of $660 million paid in first quarter 2023.

We plan to supplement our base dividend each year with an additional return of cash, in the form of a supplemental cash dividend and/or share repurchase, to achieve our targeted annual payout of total cash to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). For further information on Adjusted FAD see Performance and Liquidity Measures.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased 1,472,369 common shares for approximately $49 million (including transaction fees) during first quarter 2024 and we repurchased 1,115,560 common shares for approximately $35 million (including transaction fees) during first quarter 2023 under the 2021 Repurchase Program. There were no unsettled shares as of March 31, 2024 and 13,866 unsettled shares (approximately $1 million) as of December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 4: Net Earnings Per Share and Share Repurchases for further information.

PERFORMANCE AND LIQUIDITY MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure to evaluate the performance of the consolidated company and our business segments. This measure should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors about our operating performance, better facilitates period to period comparisons and is widely used by analysts, lenders, rating agencies and other interested parties. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is operating income adjusted for depreciation, depletion, amortization, basis of real estate sold and special items.


	QUARTER ENDED						AMOUNT OF CHANGE
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2024			MARCH 2023			2024 VS. 2023
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment:
Timberlands	$	144		$	188		$	(44	)
Real Estate & ENR		94			89			5
Wood Products		184			148			36
		422			425			(3	)
Unallocated Items		(70	)		(30	)		(40	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	352		$	395		$	(43	)

We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings for the consolidated company and to operating income (loss) for the business segments, as those are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for each.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2024:


DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	Timberlands		Real Estate & ENR		Wood Products		Unallocated Items			Total

Adjusted FAD

We use Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD) to evaluate the company’s liquidity and measure cash generated during the period (net of capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items) that is available for dividends, repurchases of common shares, debt reduction, acquisitions and other discretionary and nondiscretionary capital allocation activities. Adjusted FAD should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative to, our results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the measure provides meaningful supplemental information for our investors about our liquidity. Adjusted FAD, as we define it, is net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items. Our definition of Adjusted FAD may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including those in our industry. We reconcile Adjusted FAD to net cash from operations, as that is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

The table below reconciles Adjusted FAD to net cash from operations:


	QUARTER ENDED
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	MARCH 2024			MARCH 2023
Net cash from operations	$	124		$	126
Capital expenditures		(79	)		(71	)
Adjusted FAD	$	45		$	55
Net cash from investing activities	$	(77	)	$	(69	)
Net cash from financing activities	$	(308	)	$	(841	)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes during first quarter 2024 to the critical accounting policies presented in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

LONG-TERM DEBT OBLIGATIONS

The following summary of our long-term debt obligations includes:

●

scheduled principal repayments for the next five years and after;

●

weighted average interest rates for debt maturing in each of the next five years and after and

●

estimated fair values of outstanding obligations.

We estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on quoted market prices we receive for the same types and issues of our debt or on the discounted value of the future cash flows using market yields for the same type and comparable issues of debt. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.
