Financial Measures
All financial references are expressed in C$ unless otherwise noted.
This presentation contains statements and estimates that may constitute forward-looking
statements under applicable securities laws. Readers are cautioned against placing undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. All statements herein, other than statements of
historical fact, may 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 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 developments on climate change and wood products demand; the Company's
ability to navigate logistics constraints; the Company's net positive climate impact; fibre
availability; legal and regulatory developments; the Company's ability to diversify and grow its
business through its strategic acquisitions; discussions with area First Nations around future
acquisitions of ownership interests in Tsawak-qin Limited Partnership; and the expected
completion times, results and returns of the 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, changes in the price of key materials for our products,
changes in business opportunities, 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, 2021
(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. Definitions and reconciliation of terms can be found in the MD&A for Western Forest
