Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Company” or “Deltic”). Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management of the Company believes the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly its financial position as of March 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recently Issued Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases”, which supercedes Topic 840 and among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments award transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and the classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. This update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating what effect ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 – Timber and Timberlands (cont.)

During the first quarter of 2016, Deltic acquired approximately 79 acres of timber and timberland for $121,000, while during the same period of 2015 the Company acquired 40 acres of timber and timberland in an exchange transaction valued at $39,000. Deltic invests in and holds strategic fee timber as a productive asset, and any expenditure to acquire such timber and timberlands is an investing activity in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In 1999, the Company initiated a program to identify and sell non-strategic timberlands and use the sales proceeds to purchase pine timberlands that are strategic to its operations. In 2008, Deltic identified approximately 10,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands that existed within its timberlands base to be sold. Other non-strategic acreage exists within the Company’s land base, but Deltic has not completely identified the number of acres that fit within this category. As the Company identifies these acres and determines that they are either smaller tracts of pine timberlands that cannot be strategically managed or tracts of hardwood bottomland that cannot be converted into pine-growing acreage, they will be sold. As of March 31, 2016, approximately 250 acres of these lands were available for sale.

Included in the Woodlands operating income were gains from sales of timberland of $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 while there were no sales in the first quarter of 2016. Occasionally Deltic engages in land-for-land exchanges that are recorded as sales due to the nature of the land involved. For the period ended March 31, 2015, $25,000 of gains were included in operating income from non-monetary exchanges and there were none for the period ended March 31, 2016.

Note 8 – Credit Facilities

Effective January 6, 2016, Deltic entered into a second amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with the consent of the lenders thereto, in which it exercised the first of its two options and extended the termination date by one year to November 17, 2020.

On February 4, 2016, and pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, Deltic elected to replace two lenders in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly the respective rights and obligations of Wells Fargo Bank, NA and Branch Banking and Trust Company were assigned to one new lender, Greenstone Farm Credit Services, ACA, and one existing lender, American AgCredit, PCA, in the amounts of $27,000,000 and $123,000,000, respectively.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was 31 percent due to the benefit of a lower income tax rate on sales of timber held 15 years or longer during the year 2016. This compares to an effective income tax rate of 36 percent for the period ended March 31, 2015. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the balance sheet. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets is 7.50 percent. Effective January 1, 2015, Deltic closed the defined benefit funded retirement plan to any new or rehired salaried and hourly non-represented entrants. In connection with this closure, additional Company 401(k) contributions are made for all employees hired on or after that date.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurement Accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets on identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Nonqualified employee savings plan — Consists of mutual funds, which are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the plan at the balance sheet date, at quoted market prices.

The fair value measurements for the Company’s financial liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016, are presented in the following table:

Long-term debt, including current maturities — The fair value is estimated by discounting the scheduled debt payment streams to present value based on market rates for which the Company’s debt could be refinanced.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2016 and 2015. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities, except current maturities of long-term debt, all of which have fair values approximating carrying values.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

The Company reported net income of $.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to weak markets for wood products, combined with decreased oil and gas-related income, increased expenses for the cost of fee timber harvested, and higher interest expense, which were partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate. Operating income from the Woodlands segment was $5.3 million, a $1.2 million decrease when compared to the first quarter of 2015, with reduced oil and gas royalty income and an increased cost of fee timber harvested as the primary year-over-year differences. The Manufacturing segment reported operating income of $3.3 million in the current-year first quarter, $.2 million less than the same period last year, primarily due to a lower average sales price for both lumber and medium density fiberboard (“MDF”). The Manufacturing segment financial results for the first quarter of 2015 included the financial impact of insurance deductibles related to a fire that occurred in the press at the Company’s MDF plant. The Real Estate segment’s financial results were a loss of $.6 million, a $.2 million improvement from the first quarter of 2015, due to an increase in the number of residential lots sold and in the per-lot average sales price. Corporate segment operating expense was $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, a $.1 million increase from the same period of the prior year. Interest expense was $1.1 million higher in the first quarter of 2016 than the same period of 2015 due to increased borrowings to fund capital projects and share repurchases. Income tax expense was $.9 million lower in 2016 due to lower pretax income and a reduced effective income tax rate from capital gains treatment for the harvest of all timber due to enactment of what is commonly referred to as the “TREE Act”.

Deltic is a vertically integrated natural resources company operating in a commodity-based business environment that is engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber, and the manufacture and marketing of lumber and MDF, with a major diversification in real estate development. The Company’s operations and financial results are affected by a number of factors which include, but are not limited to housing starts, general economic conditions, U.S. employment levels, interest rates, credit availability and associated costs, imports of lumber and MDF, foreign exchange rates, new and existing home inventories, residential and commercial real estate foreclosures, residential and commercial repair and remodeling, commercial construction, industry capacity and production levels, the availability of raw materials, natural gas pricing and weather conditions. Increased residential construction activity in the areas into which the Company sells its wood products, due to milder winter weather conditions, created demand for lumber in the first quarter of 2016. In addition, construction activity generally increases in the second quarter as the weather conditions improve in the spring. Deltic is prepared to meet any increase in the market demand for wood products or real estate. As with most commodity markets, the Company has little or no influence over the market’s pricing levels or demand for its wood products. Deltic’s management will continue the Company’s vertical integration strategy and its diversity of assets to adjust production levels to meet demand.

The Woodlands segment serves as the foundation of Deltic’s vertically integrated strategy, providing over one-half of the raw material needs of the Company’s sawmills. The pine sawtimber harvest in the first quarter of 2016 was 205,608 tons, an 11 percent decrease from the 231,534 tons harvested in the first quarter of 2015, due in part to the timing of the harvest and in part to wet weather conditions on the tracts being harvested. The Company will continue to manage and harvest the sawtimber growing on its timberlands on a sustainable-yield basis. The average per-ton sales price for pine sawtimber in the current-year quarter was $28, compared to $26 received in 2015’s first quarter. Management expects any future improvement in prices for pine sawtimber to continue to be measured. The pine pulpwood harvest volume sold during the first quarter of 2016 was 160,270 tons, a 68,597 ton increase from the first quarter of 2015, while the average per-ton sales price decreased $1, to $9 per ton. The increase in pine pulpwood volume sold was mainly due to sales under timber deeds in 2016 and to the mix of products on the tracts being harvested. There were no sales of timberland during the current-year’s first quarter, while the Company sold 20 acres of timberland at an average sales price of $1,900 per acre in the first quarter of 2015.

The Woodlands segment’s operating results include other benefits derived from land ownership, such as revenues from hunting leases, mineral lease rentals, mineral royalties, and land easements. Hunting lease revenues were $.8 million in the first quarter of both 2016 and 2015. Oil and gas lease rental income was $.2 million in the first quarter of both 2016 and 2015. Oil and gas royalty

payments received, primarily from wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play, totaled $.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $.7 million from the $1.1 million received in the first quarter of 2015. Royalty revenues were lower than in the prior-year period due to decreased natural gas sales prices and reduced natural gas production volumes. The ultimate benefit to Deltic from mineral leases remains speculative and unknown to the Company and is contingent on the successful completion of producing wells on Company lands and the prices received for crude oil and natural gas.

The Manufacturing segment produces and sells both dimension lumber and MDF. The Company sold 71.5 million board feet of lumber in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 10.2 million board feet when compared to 61.3 million board feet sold in the same period of 2015. The 17 percent increase in sales volume was mainly due to improved demand, with lower inventory volumes at distributors during the first quarter of 2016. The average lumber sales price received in the current quarter of 2016 was $338 per thousand board feet, a $20 per thousand board feet, or five percent, decrease from the same period of 2015. Sales of MDF totaled 26 million square feet in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 26.4 million square feet in 2015. The average sales price for MDF during the first quarter of 2016 was $547 per thousand square feet, compared to $573 per thousand square feet sold in the same period a year ago. The Manufacturing segment’s first quarter 2015 financial results also included the negative impact of insurance claim deductibles related to a fire at the Company’s MDF facility, whereas, there were no such costs in 2016. Because of the historical volatility in the lumber and MDF markets, Deltic closely monitors market conditions and plans to react quickly to adjust production levels to meet changes in demand.

The Real Estate segment sold six residential lots during the first quarter of 2016, with an average per-lot sales price of $85,200, compared to sales of two residential lots with an average per-lot sales price of $51,200 in 2015’s first quarter. The increase in the per-lot sales price was due to the mix of lots sold. The Company had an offering of newly developed residential lots in its Chenal Valley development during April 2016. All 27 of the lots offered were put under contract and are scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2016. No commercial acreage sales occurred in either the first quarter of 2016 or 2015. The commercial real estate acreage within Chenal Valley continues to receive interest from potential buyers, especially property located near the key intersection of Rahling Road and the Chenal Parkway where “The Promenade at Chenal,” an upscale shopping center, and the nearby St. Vincent West health care campus are located. Because of the unpredictable nature of commercial real estate sales activity, the Company cannot anticipate the timing of closing for any commercial real estate transaction.

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $.4 million, a $1.5 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015. Decreased operating income for the Woodlands and Manufacturing segments, combined with increased Corporate segment expense and interest expense in the first quarter of 2016, were partially offset by improved financial results for the Real Estate segment and by decreased income tax expense due to lower pretax income and a lower income tax rate on income from timber sales in the 2016 period.

Consolidated cost of sales increased $2.5 million from the first quarter of 2015, due to increased lumber production at the sawmills and the resulting increases in raw material and direct manufacturing costs as a result of the impact from sales volume exceeding production volume, combined with an increase in the cost of residential lots sold due to an increase in lot sales.

The main cost drivers affecting the Company’s cost of sales impacting each segment’s operating income and thus consolidated operating income are as follows: Woodlands – direct operating expenses (operating salaries and benefits, cull timber removal, line and road maintenance expenses, etc.), oil and

gas royalty expenses, cost of hauling stumpage to other mills, and cost of timberland sold; Manufacturing – raw materials cost, direct manufacturing expenses (operating salaries and benefits, utilities, insurance, property and business interruption insurance deductibles, repairs and maintenance, etc.), and freight expense; and Real Estate – cost of residential lots, commercial acreage, and speculative homes sold and the cost of sales of Chenal Country Club. There is generally little to no margin on either hauling stumpage to other mills in the Woodlands segment or freight activity in the Manufacturing segment, since the net sales recorded for these activities are essentially offset by the cost of hauling stumpage to other mills or freight expense.

Consolidated operating income was $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the first quarter of 2015. The Woodlands segment’s operating income was $1.2 million less than the prior year, primarily due to lower oil and gas royalty income and an increased per-unit cost of fee timber harvested as a result of recent acquisitions. The Manufacturing segment’s operating income decreased by $.2 million in the current quarter, due primarily to a lower average sales price for both lumber and MDF. Real Estate segment financial results improved $.2 million due to an increase in the number of residential lots sold compared to the prior year. Corporate expense was $.1 million higher in the current quarter due to increased general and administrative expenses.

Net sales for the Woodlands segment for the first quarter of 2016 decreased $.5 million when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Pine sawtimber sales were $.4 million lower in the current quarter due to an 11 percent decrease in harvest volume. Revenues from pine pulpwood were $.5 million more than the prior-year first quarter, due to an increased volume of pulpwood sold, which was primarily the result of timber deed sales. Oil and gas royalty revenue decreased $.7 million from the first quarter of 2015 due to lower average natural gas prices and a lower volume for natural gas produced.

Cost of sales for the Woodlands segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased $.1 million from the same period of 2015, primarily due to the cost of hauling stumpage to other mills, which was offset by the related increase in hauling revenues. Cost of fee timber harvested in 2016’s first quarter was $.5 million higher than in the prior-year first quarter, due to a higher per-unit cost of timber harvested and an increased harvest volume. The increase in the per-unit cost of fee timber harvested was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions of timberland in the last three years. Operating income was $1.2 million lower in the first quarter of 2016, when compared to the 2015 first quarter, due to the same factors affecting net sales and cost of sales.

¹	Residual by-products are reported net of intercompany eliminations.

Net sales for the Manufacturing segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased $1.6 million, when compared to the same quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher sales volumes for lumber, which was partially offset by a lower average sales price. The lumber sales volume for the first quarter of 2016 increased 10.2 million board feet, or 17 percent, when compared to the same quarter in 2015, but was partially offset by a $20 per thousand board feet decrease in average sales price. The average sales price of MDF in 2016 decreased $26 per thousand square feet, or five percent, from the prior-year first quarter, while sales volume decreased two percent. Revenues from freight invoiced to customers decreased $.2 million, and was offset by a related decrease in freight expense.

Cost of sales for the Manufacturing segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased $1.9 million from the first quarter of 2015. The intersegment eliminations of residual sales by sawmill operations to MDF operations are not reflected in the cost of sales amounts reported above. These costs increased $.3 million period over period. The cost of sales for the sawmill operations increased $3.9 million due to the increase in production and related raw material costs, direct manufacturing expenses and a reduction in inventory. Cost of sales for MDF operations were $2 million lower in the first quarter of 2016, when compared to the first quarter of 2015, due to a curtailment of production and to the expense of insurance deductibles related to repair and clean-up costs related to the fire at the MDF plant on March 10, 2015. The increase in production in the current year resulted in increased raw material costs; however, the other direct manufacturing costs were lower due to no fire related insurance deductible costs. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $.2 million less in the current-year first quarter due to the same factors affecting net sales and cost of sales, partially offset by increased depreciation expense.

Net sales in the Real Estate segment for the first quarter of 2016 were $.7 million higher than in the prior-year first quarter due to an increase in the number of residential lots sold, a higher average sales price per lot sold, and the sale of a speculative home. The higher average sales price was due to the mix of lots sold.

Cost of sales for the Real Estate segment in the first quarter of 2016 increased $.5 million due to increased residential lots sold, along with the cost of the speculative home sold. Although the segment had an operating loss for the first quarter of 2016, this was an improvement from the prior year due to the increase in residential lot sales activity and increased margin.

Eliminations

Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment decreased $.4 million, to $5.9 million for 2016’s first quarter. During the first quarter of 2016, Deltic transferred a lower volume of fee timber to its sawmills, at a slightly higher per-ton transfer price. Current period transfer prices reflect that of the market.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 increased $1.1 million due to borrowings incurred in 2015 and 2016 for capital projects and stock repurchases.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 31 percent for the first quarter of 2016 and was 36 percent for the first quarter of 2015. The lower income tax rate for 2016 was due to the benefit of a lower income tax rate for gains on sales of timber held 15 years or longer during the year 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.8 million for the first three months of 2016 compared to $9.2 million in 2015. Cash from borrowings provided the cash needed for capital expenditures and stock repurchases. Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents, required cash of $4.6 million in 2016 and provided cash of $1.8 million in 2015. The Company’s accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows identifies other differences between net income and cash provided by operating activities for each reporting period.

Capital expenditures required cash of $10 million in the current-year period and $5.5 million a year ago. Capital expenditures by segment consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Thousands of dollars)	2016		2015
Woodlands	$	1.5		1.3
Manufacturing		6.5		4.1
Real Estate, including development expenditures		.7		.3

Capital expenditures		8.7		5.7
Adjustment for non-cash accrued liabilities		1.3		(.2	)

Capital expenditures requiring cash	$	10.0		5.5

Timberland acquisition expenditures, including land acquired in exchanges, totaled $.1 million in 2016 and 2015. The net change in purchased stumpage inventory to be utilized in the Company’s sawmill operations used cash of $1.4 million in 2016 and $.5 million in 2015. Deltic received proceeds from other investing activities of $.1 million in both 2016 and 2015. Deltic had $24 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2016 versus repayments of $1 million in 2015. The borrowings were used to purchase treasury stock for $15.2 million, with the remainder used to fund a portion of capital projects. Deltic paid dividends on common stock of $1.2 million in 2016 and $1.3 million in 2015. Proceeds from stock option exercises and related tax benefits were $.6 million in 2015 while there were none in 2016. Other financing activities required cash of $.5 million in 2016 and $.2 million in 2015.

Financial Condition

Adjusted working capital, defined by the Company as the net of current assets and current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt, totaled $18 million at March 31, 2016, and $12.2 million at December 31, 2015. Deltic’s adjusted working capital ratio at March 31, 2016 was 2.07 to 1, compared to 1.66 to 1 at the end of 2015. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2016 decreased $.9 million from December 31, 2015. The total indebtedness of the Company at March 31, 2016 was $248 million, including current maturities of long-term debt of $39.9 million. This compares to total indebtedness at December 31, 2015 of $224 million. Deltic’s total debt to stockholders’ equity ratio was 1.039 to 1 at March 31, 2016 and .881 to 1 at December 31, 2015.

Liquidity

The primary sources of the Company’s liquidity are internally generated funds, access to outside financing, and working capital. The Company’s current strategy for growth continues to emphasize its timberland acquisition program, in addition to expanding lumber production as market conditions allow and developing residential and/or commercial properties at Chenal Valley, Wildwood Place, and Red Oak Ridge.

To facilitate these growth plans, the Company has an agreement with a group of banks, which provides an unsecured and committed revolving credit facility totaling $430 million, and includes an option to request an increase in the amount of aggregate revolving commitments by $50 million. As of March 31, 2016, there was $79 million outstanding in borrowings on the credit facility, leaving $351 million available. The credit agreement contains restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and requirements to maintain certain financial ratios. (For additional information about the Company’s current financing arrangements, refer to Notes 10 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K.)

The table below sets forth the ratio requirements of the covenants in both the credit facility and Senior Notes Payable and status with respect to these covenants as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total capital. Total debt includes indebtedness for borrowed money, secured liabilities, obligations in respect of letters of credit, and guarantees. Total capital is the sum of total debt and net worth. Net worth is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities, as reflected on the balance sheet. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.

Timber market value must be greater than 175 percent of total debt (as defined in (1) above). The timber market value is calculated by multiplying the average price received for sales of timber for the preceding four quarters by the current quarter’s ending inventory of timber. This covenant is applied at the end of the quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis.

Based on management’s current operating projections, the Company believes it will remain in compliance with the debt covenants and have sufficient liquidity to finance operations and pay all obligations. However, depending on future market conditions and the possibility of the return of economic deterioration, the Company may need to request amendments, or waivers for the covenants, or obtain refinancing in future periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain amendments or waivers, or negotiate agreeable refinancing terms should it become needed.

In December 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of Deltic common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors expanded the program by $25 million in December 2007, by $25 million in December 2014, and by $20 million in February 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had expended $55 million under this program, with the purchase of 1,066,745 shares at an average cost of $51.59 per share; 277,430 shares have been purchased in 2016 at an average cost of $54.65 per share. In its two previous repurchase programs, Deltic purchased 479,601 shares at an average cost of $20.89 and 419,542 shares at a $24.68 per share average cost, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments

The Company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans that cover all eligible employees, excluding employees of the subsidiaries. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Deltic also has other postretirement benefit plans for all of its eligible retired employees, excluding employees of the subsidiaries. The health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted as needed; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. With regards to all of the Company’s employee and retiree benefit plans, Deltic is unaware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. (For information about material assumptions underlying the accounting for these plans and other components of the plans, refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K.)

Outlook

Deltic’s management believes that cash provided from its operations and the remaining amount available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its expected cash needs and planned expenditures, including those of the Company’s continued timberland acquisition, real estate development, and stock repurchase programs, and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2015 annual report on Form 10-K, and this disclosure should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

Impact of Recently Effective Accounting Pronouncements

(For information regarding the impact of recently effective accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.)

Outlook

Pine sawtimber harvest levels are expected to be 200,000 to 225,000 tons in the second quarter of 2016 and 725,000 to 765,000 tons for the year. Finished lumber sales volumes are estimated at 65 to 75 million board feet for the second quarter of 2016 and 265 to 285 million board feet for the year. MDF sales volumes for the second quarter and year of 2016 are estimated to be 25 to 35 million square feet and 110 to 130 million square feet, respectively. Actual lumber and MDF sales volumes are subject to market conditions, as impacted by the level of residential home construction and remodeling activity. Residential lot sales are projected to be 5 to 10 lots and 90 to 120 lots for the second quarter of 2016, and the year, respectively. Even though commercial acreage in Chenal Valley has received interest from potential buyers, it is difficult to anticipate future closings due to the volatile nature of commercial real estate transactions and the significant number of factors related to any sale.

Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical in nature constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
