This presentation contains statements and estimates that may constitute forward-looking
statements under applicable securities laws. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance

be forward-looking statements and can be identified by the use of words such as "will", "estimate",
"commit", "anticipate", "expect", "should", "could", "continue", "may", "pursue", "explore" and similar
references to future periods.
Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements relating to
our current intent, belief, projection or expectation with respect to: domestic and international
market conditions, demands and growth; economic conditions; our acquisition, growth, marketing,
product, wholesale, operational, production and capital allocation and investment plans and
strategies including, but not limited to, our dividend plan and share repurchase plan; our
sustainability-linked credit facility; our expected operating results and future earnings stability; our
competitive position and expectations regarding future competition; the impact of mass timber

Company's capital projects.
Although such statements reflect management's current reasonable beliefs, expectations and
assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections,
anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions, there can be no assurance
that forward-looking statements are accurate, and actual results and performance may materially
vary. Many factors could cause our actual results or performance to be materially different
including: changes in economic and financial conditions, changes in demand for forest products,
changes in competition and selling prices, international trade disputes, changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and interest rates, labour disputes and disruptions, natural disasters, changing
relations with First Nations groups, the availability of fibre and allowable annual cut, developments
and changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company or the forestry industry or changes to
the implementation of such laws and regulations by governmental authorities, changes in the price
of key materials for our products, changes in business opportunities, changes occurring in the
counterparties whom we do business with, existence of a public health crisis (including future
developments in the COVID-19 pandemic) and other factors discussed in the Company's
Management's Discussion & Analysis for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 (the
"MD&A"), which is available on our website at www.westernforest.com. The foregoing list is not
exhaustive, as other factors could adversely affect our actual results and performance. Forward-
looking statements are based only on information currently available to us and refer only as of the
date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking
statements.
During the course of this presentation, certain non-GAAP financial information will be presented.
