Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY) said its third-quarter earnings surged nearly seven-fold as it recorded a one-time gain from a divestiture and sales grew across its segments.
The forest-products company's increased focus on its core wood-products division has paid off, as an improving housing market has helped the company post strong results. Revenue in the segment rose 2% to $1.05 billion from a year earlier.
Overall, the company posted a profit of $1.16 billion, or $2.17 a share, up from $167 million, or 27 cents a share, a year earlier.
The company recorded a gain of $966 million on the divestiture of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Co., or Wreco. That move was completed in July through the combination of the real-estate business and TRI Pointe Homes Inc. in a Reverse Morris Trust deal.
Excluding the gain and other special items, per-share earnings rose to 33 cents a share from 23 cents.
Sales rose 3% to $1.92 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast per-share earnings of 30 cents and revenue of $1.97 billion.
The company's timberlands business posted a 3% increase in revenue to $364 million, as log sales volumes increased in the southern part of the U.S.
Sales at the cellulose-fibers division grew 6% to $503 million, due to higher average price realizations for pulp and liquid packaging board and improved sales volumes.
