SEATTLE, August 8, 2025 – Weyerhaeuser (WY), the timber and forest products giant, announced today that its board has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share. Shareholders of record as of August 29th will receive payment on September 12th, 2025.
This dividend announcement comes as Weyerhaeuser continues to execute its capital allocation strategy, which aims to deliver substantial returns to shareholders. The company intends to supplement the base dividend with additional cash payouts, targeting a total return of 75% to 80% of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). Management retains the flexibility to deploy this excess cash through supplemental dividends, opportunistic share repurchases, or a strategic blend of both.
Adjusted FAD, a non-GAAP metric watched closely by investors, reflects Weyerhaeuser’s net cash from operations, adjusted for capital expenditures and any significant one-off items. While useful for gauging cash flow available for shareholder returns, it’s important to remember – as the company notes – that this metric isn’t a direct substitute for GAAP-based results.
