TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Rayonier Inc. (the “Company”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2014 (the “Initial Report”) to amend and restate its unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income from continuing operations and balance sheets as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included in the Initial Report under Item 9.01. The Initial Report disclosed that, on June 27, 2014, the Company spun off its Performance Fibers business to its shareholders as a newly formed publicly traded company named Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc.
Following the spin-off, new management conducted a review of the Company’s operations and business strategies and identified issues related to its historical timber harvest levels, its estimate of merchantable timber inventory and the effect of such estimate on its calculation of depletion expense in each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. At the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors, management commenced an internal review into these matters with the assistance of independent counsel, forensic accountants and financial advisers. As a result of the internal review, the Company concluded that it included in merchantable timber inventory for 2014, timber in specially designated parcels located in restricted, environmentally sensitive or economically inaccessible areas, which was incorrect, inconsistent with its definition of merchantable timber inventory, and a significant change from prior years. As a result, the Company concluded that it understated its depletion expense in cost of goods sold (referred to as “Cost of sales” in the Company's consolidated statements of income) by approximately $2.0 million in each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, which resulted in a corresponding overstatement of income from continuing operations of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in those periods. In addition, management determined that there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls related to merchantable timber inventory. Accordingly, the Company has filed amendments to its Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and restated its interim consolidated financial statements for those periods. The Audit Committee’s findings did not impact previously reported unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company has filed with the SEC this Amendment and its restated unaudited pro forma financial statements giving effect to the spin-off, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company has not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Initial Report, except to reflect the effects of the restatement of the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income from continuing operations and balance sheets as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as described above. Accordingly, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the Initial Report, except as noted above, and this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Initial Report.
