1 Hancock Timberland Investor Fourth Quarter Timberland Investment Performance The investment performance of timberland properties in the United States rebounded last year as the NCREIF Timberland Property Index posted a positive return of 7.7 percent. Timber prices, timberland discount rates and timberland values remained relatively stable during the year. Returns were therefore driven largely by income from timber harvests and growth in timber inventory. With 23 behind us, we again devote our fourth quarter issue of Hancock Timberland Investor to a review of the past year s timberland investment performance. Our measure of timberland performance is the NCREIF (National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries) Timberland Property Index (see HTI 3Q2 for a description of the Index), which reports returns for institutional investments in timberland properties throughout the United States. Annual Return 2% 15% 1% 5% % -5% -1% Chart 1: NCREIF Timberland Property Index - Annual Returns Source: NCREIF EBITDDA Capital The fourth quarter NCREIF results are much more useful than those reported for other quarters because many properties in the NCREIF database are valued only at year end. So calendar year returns present a relatively complete picture of market value changes. NCREIF timberland properties numbered 268 as of fourth quarter 23.These properties contained over 4.8 million acres, with a combined market value of $5.8 billion. Sixty-eight percent of the Index value was in the, 26 percent in the Pacific Northwest and the remaining 6 percent in the Northeast. Properties in the Pacific Northwest had the greatest per-acre market value, with a fourth quarter average of $1,863. ern timberland properties averaged $1,79 per acre.timberland in the Northeast was valued at $1,142 per acre, a value more than double that reported at the conclusion of 2.This jump in Northeast market value was the result of a large shift in the intra-regional sample of properties away from the lower value New England states to the much higher value Alleghany region of northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. Performance Results The total return for the Timberland Property Index during 23 a positive 7.7 percent moved closer to historical averages. continued on page 2 Hancock Timber Resource Group High Street, Boston, MA
2 23 Timberland Investment Performance continued NCREIF separates timberland returns into a property-level operating income or EBITDDA component and a capital appreciation or depreciation component.the EBITDDA return was a positive 3.7 percent a value similar to that over the past five years.the cash yield from operations after deductions for capital expenditures was 3.1 percent. NCREIF capital returns were a positive 3.9 percent, a strong turnaround after three consecutive years of falling timberland property values. Regionally, timberland in the Northeast produced the highest returns over the year at 12.2 percent. Properties in the Pacific Northwest and the produced total returns very similar to the overall Index. Chart 2: 23 Regional Timberland Returns EBITDDA Capital Total Pacific Northwest Northeast 2.85% 6.33% 3.82% 4.6% 2.14% 8.13% 7.54% 8.57% 12.17% As usual, EBITDDA returns were highest in the Pacific Northwest, as properties in this region typically contain a greater share of mature, merchantable timber that is available for harvest.the, as usual, had the lowest EBITDDA return, as properties there typically have a greater share of young, pre-merchantable timber. What Drove Timberland Performance? NCREIF timberland market values in 23, as measured by appraisals and actual timberland sales, rose in the and fell in the Pacific Northwest.To isolate the influence on these NCREIF property values of changing timberland market conditions from the effect of timber inventory growth and changes in the sample of properties in the Index, we recalculate timberland values in each region for standardized fully regulated forests based on NCREIF total returns (see HTI 2Q 2 for a full description of our methodology). (As we noted earlier, per-acre values in the Northeast more than doubled due to an intra-regional shift in the regional property sample.this compromises our methodology for calculating standardized values, so we focus here on the and Pacific Northwest.) Our market value estimates for standardized timberland properties changed little from Q4 2. Market values fell.6 percent in the and increased.1 percent in the Pacific Northwest. These minor changes in timberland market values are consistent with stability in both timber prices and discount rates during the year. Per Acre Value of Fully Regulated Properties $3, $2,5 $2, $1,5 $1, Chart 3: Timberland Market Values $5 PNW Source: HTRG analysis Examining timber prices in Q4 23 compared to Q4 2 in Figures 1 and 4 on pages 3 and 4 show a slight downward movement in prices in the Pacific Northwest and flat prices in the.

Softwood Sawtimber Stumpage Prices Prices in Pacific Rim markets for sawtimber rose sharply fourth quarter as seen in both our Pacific Northwest export price and our New Zealand radiata pine price. Pacific Northwest export prices gained back most of the year s losses as prices rose over 3 percent. New Zealand radiata pine sawtimber prices also finished the year at levels similar to those posted earlier in the year. Sawtimber prices in the U.S. remained stable as they have all year.

However, delivered southern pine log prices for both sawtimber size logs and smaller chip-n-saw size logs remained at or slightly below last quarter s prices. Coming quarters will tell whether southern pine timber prices will eventually respond to higher lumber prices with a lag or not at all.

U.S. Timberland Values in Private Property Markets Private timberland values rose across the United States fourth quarter, with southern timberland values up $22 per acre and Pacific Northwest timberland values up $8 per acre.there was a large shift in the NCREIF sample of properties in the Northeast last quarter from the New England states (per-acre values about $3) to the Alleghany region of Pennsylvania and southern New York (per-acre values about $3,).This caused the reported per-acre value of timberland in the region to more than double.as a result, we ve dropped the Northeast region from our timberland value chart. 4 Hancock Timberland Investor Fourth Quarter 23

6 23 Timberland Investment Performance continued This stability in cap rates for timberland properties contrasts sharply with the substantial declines in cap rates observed during the past two years in markets for commercial real estate properties. Over the past two years, our estimates of timberland cap rates have risen by about 5 basis points. Commercial cap rates have fallen by 1-2 basis points during this same period. Absent changes in timberland property values, we conclude that the primary driver of timberland returns during 23 was physical timber growth. About half of this growth was captured via timber harvests. The remainder was realized via appreciation in timberland property values. Research Team NOTES: Clark S.

Regional NCREIF timberland market value per acre is derived by dividing the total regional market value at quarter end by the number of acres reported in that region. Market values for Northeast timberland were re-estimated for the period 19Q4 through 19Q3 to adjust for what we believe to be an anomalous property included in the NCREIF database during those quarters. Figure 7. EBITDDA multiples are calculated using NCREIF timberland value per acre at quarter end divided by a trailing four-quarter average NCREIF net income per acre. Figure 8. The Hancock Securitized Timberland Index (HSTI) uses a base-weighted aggregate methodology (similar to that used to construct the S&P 5) to calculate a market capitalization-weighted value for seven publicly traded timber-intensive forest products companies. Base weights were readjusted for the emergence of new companies or at the beginning of each year. Dividends are not reinvested. The companies included in the HSTI have no investment relationship with the Hancock Timber Resource Group. Figure 9. Public equity derived from our Timberland Enterprise Value per ern Equivalent Acre (TEV/SEA) for five timber-intensive publicly traded companies compared to southern timberland values per acre calculated from the NCREIF database. TEV is a quarterly estimate based on total enterprise value (total market equity + book value debt) less estimated value of processing facilities, other non-timber assets and non-enterprise working capital. SEA uses regional NCREIF $/acre values to translate a company s timberland holdings in various regions to the area of southern timberland that would have an equivalent market value.

Potential for profit as well as for loss exists. 6 Hancock Timber Resource Group High Street, Boston, MA
