Discontinued operations relate to Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), which was combined with TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (TRI Pointe) through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction on July 7, 2014.
“The strong results for each of our businesses in the second quarter reflect our relentless focus on operational excellence,” said Doyle Simons, president and CEO. “Through the recent divestiture of our homebuilding business and last year’s Longview Timber acquisition, we have created a focused forest products company committed to driving operational improvements and fully capitalizing on the continued measured recovery in U.S. housing markets and the overall economy.”
